Chapter 649: Closing the Net!! (Ask for a subscription!) ）

"Political commissar, political commissar, good news, Bruce Lee's good news telegram..."Just under the red flag of Xian yàn, with the efforts of the guard division, just went to the head of the mountain customs city. A burst of excited voices quickly reached the command headquarters, and the ears of political commissar Luo Ronghuan...

Rushing into the headquarters, under the expectant gaze of political commissar Luo Ronghuan, Chief of Staff Li Qing hurriedly replied: "Political commissar, our red flag has been on the head of Shanhaiguan City. At present, the guard division is engaged in fierce street battles with the remnants of the Japanese army at the Shanhaiguan position. If nothing else, at most half an hour, Bruce Lee's guard division can defeat all the defending troops at Shanhaiguan. ”

In an instant, the atmosphere in the entire headquarters was as if it had been fixed there, unusually quiet. However, in the blink of an eye, the quiet command headquarters was immediately enveloped in warm applause. After half a month of bloody fighting, the troops finally occupied Shanhaiguan. At this moment, every combatant is using his warm applause to vent the excitement in his heart at this moment.

Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan rushed to the lookout of the headquarters quickly. Raising the binoculars in his hand, he looked at the battlefield full of artillery fire. Sure enough, a few kilometers away, the battlefield was already lit up by artillery fire. Pieces of commanders and fighters of the guard division, holding up the weapons in their hands, from the breakthrough, continued to pour into the Japanese Shanhaiguan position, joining the fiercest ròu battle.

"Commissar, fight bayonets with the fighters of the guard division. The little devil really dares to think about it. If you let the little devils know, the stabbing skills of every soldier in the guard division are not below them. What's more, all commanders above the squad level are equipped with shell guns that are perfect for close combat. I estimate that the Japanese commander who gave the order to fight the bayonet would definitely vomit blood in anger..."Looking at the fierce battlefield a few kilometers away, Chief of Staff Li Qing said confidently.

"The Japanese Shanhaiguan Headquarters has been served by us. Now the Japanese army is fighting on its own, and it is a good time for us to defeat them all. The 1st and 4th Divisions of the follow-up troops were ordered to immediately join the battle, crush all the defending troops of Shanhaiguan directly opposite us, expand the breakthrough made by the guard division, cover the main force of the field army, and rush out of Shanhaiguan. Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan ordered decisively.

"Yes, Commissar. Still, I recommend. In order to prevent the Japanese army from gathering in the process of retreating, they launched a counterattack against our defending troops. I suggest that Bruce Lee's guard division be ordered to conduct a proper pursuit. Let the little devils who were defeated by us in Shanhaiguan are completely in passive defense and have no ability to counterattack..."Chief of Staff Li Qing suggested.

"I agree, however, I have to tell Bruce Lee that in the process of pursuit, it must be done in moderation..."Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan nodded very approvingly, and then ordered.

Seeing the chief of staff Li Qing, who quickly rushed out of the headquarters. Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan put down the telescope in his hand very reassuringly, returned to the map, and ordered loudly to a combat staff officer in front of him.

"Staff Officer Wang, immediately convey the order to the artillery unit, and the troops will immediately assemble and prepare to leave the customs. Order all the units of the field army assembled in the pass and prepare to leave the pass..."

"Yes, Commissar..."

Looking at the operational staff officer who went to convey the order, Luo Ronghuan immediately set his eyes on a communications staff officer. Then, very decisively ordered.

"The communications staff officer immediately sent a telegram to the commander outside the pass: The main force of our Northeast Field Army has successfully rushed to Shanhaiguan ten minutes ago, and is now engaged in a fierce battle to seize the entire Shanhaiguan. It is expected that after half an hour, our troops will successfully occupy Shanhaiguan, and then the troops will quickly pass through Shanhaiguan and exit the customs. Please give the commander to the main forces and give the next operational order...."

Outside the Shanhaiguan Pass, on the huge battlefield centered on Baishan County. Just one day ago, the strength of the two divisions of the Japanese army, almost without a single shot, easily occupied the empty county town of Baishan. At the same time, small forces were constantly sent to launch tentative attacks on the edge of the base area. For the next final general offensive, do a good job of pre-war reconnaissance.

Facing the two main divisions of the Japanese army that had already sharpened their knives and were ready to launch the final general attack on the base area. The combat staff officers of the entire Quartet Camel Command Headquarters, almost everyone's faces, showed a trace of anxiety and panic.

However, unlike everyone, Liu Hua, who had already left a back hand, not only did not show any panic and anxiety, but was calm. Because he knew that this evening, the main force of the field army in the direction of Shanhaiguan would break through the Shanhaiguan defense line, which the Japanese army called impregnable. Then, the main force of the field army of hundreds of thousands of troops will appear in the rear of the little devils like a divine soldier, blocking their way. ,

Of course, this is only one of Liu Hua's all the tricks. Even if the main force of the field army could not break through the Shanhaiguan defense line, Commander Liu Hua also did not have any worries. Because as long as he wants, Baishan County, which has been turned into a barrel of fire, may turn into a ruin at any time under his command. As for the tens of thousands of little devils in the county, they will also become the funeral objects of the entire county. At that time, the two divisions of the Japanese army, which had lost tens of thousands of troops, would no longer have any choice but to retreat.

However, at this moment, Liu Hua, in the face of such a crisis, did not blindly give the order to detonate the fire barrel of Baishan County. Because he is working with the commander of the Japanese army, Lieutenant General Kimura Hyotaro, to play a big game of chess, the next big game of chess to wipe out at least half of the Japanese army...

Sure enough, as Liu Hua expected. Just Liu Hua's eyes were staring at the Shanhaiguan on the map, less than an hour. Commander Zhou Baozhong rushed to Liu Hua with an excited face, and then said excitedly.

"Commander, good news, Shanhaiguan Luo political commissar telegram. The main force of the field army, in half an hour at the latest, can completely occupy the entire Shanhaiguan Pass, and then lead the troops out of the back road of the super devils. Political Commissar Luo asks for instructions, the next instructions of the main force...."

"Lao Zhou, don't worry, there are 100,000 troops, and a large number of self-weight heavy weapons, if you want to pass through Shanhaiguan completely, it will be absolutely impossible to complete it without a day. However, it is now less than four hours until dawn. After learning that Shanhaiguan was occupied by our army, the Japanese army would definitely send a large number of planes to bomb and harass it, so as to slow down the speed of our army's exit from the pass. However, our situation here has reached a very critical point and there is no room for delay. Therefore, our first task at the moment is to deter the Japanese troops around the base area so that they do not dare to make any moves..."

As he spoke, Liu Hua's face slowly exuded a cold murderous aura. Then, pointing to the map, he commanded to a combat staff officer in front of him...

"Immediately send a telegram to Political Commissar Luo, ordering the main force of the field army to quickly pass through the Shanhaiguan defense line and advance to the Mengshan area. At the same time, the field army guard division and the fourth column were ordered to serve as the vanguard troops, under the command of Li Qing, the chief of staff, to give up all baggage and heavy weapons, and to reinforce the Mengshan base area in a hurry, blocking the back road of the little devils..."

"Yes, chief.," replied the combat staff officer in the affirmative.

Looking at the departing combat staff officer, Liu Hua pointed to the map in front of him, looked at Zhou Baozhong beside him, and said with a smile: "Old Zhou, the little devil has been arrogant in our bridge for almost half a month. Now, it's our turn to be arrogant. From now on, we must seize the initiative in the entire campaign and begin to close the net of the Japanese troops around the base area..."

Seeing Zhou Baozhong, who was in front of him in the command headquarters, he had been aggrieved for several days. As soon as his words fell, his face immediately showed a leaping look. Liu Hua continued.

"However, before closing the net, we must first frustrate the spirit of the Japanese vanguard. If the former enemy command of the Japanese army is known, their impregnable Shanhaiguan defense line has been broken through under the offensive of our army. Then, they will definitely seize the time for the main force of our field army to arrive in the Mengshan area for a few days, concentrate their forces, and go straight to our base area..."

"Commander, do you want the artillery regiment to start acting and detonate the bombing that we buried in Baishan County..."As soon as Liu Hua's words fell, Zhou Baozhong replied thoughtfully.

"Well, give an order to the commander of the artillery regiment Li to concentrate a heavy howitzer battery and carry out indiscriminate shelling of Baishan County for ten minutes. After the shelling, if there is an opportunity, retreat with artillery. If there is no chance, blow up all the artillery and ask the artillery personnel to retreat..."Liu Hua decisively ordered.

"Yes, Commander... In exchange for the equipment of a heavy howitzer company, in exchange for the lives of nearly 10,000 little devils, this deal is simply a big profit...."As he spoke, Zhou Baozhong rushed out of the command headquarters with an excited face.

In Shenyang City, in the headquarters of the former enemy of the Japanese army, the commander Lieutenant General Kimura Hyotaro, the chief of staff, Major General Kuroda and others. At this moment, he is still immersed in the dream that he is commanding tens of thousands of troops, and he is about to successfully destroy the base area of the Eighth Route Army and completely annihilate the troops of the Eighth Route Army in the Mengshan area. Unexpectedly, at this moment, a huge net was coming towards the hundreds of thousands of troops under his command. However, his dream should be over by this time. When all the officers in the entire command were immersed in a relaxed atmosphere. A communications staff officer, with a panicked look on his face, rushed into the headquarters out of breath.

Just when everyone's eyes in the command were focused on the reckless communications staff officer in front of them. The communications staff officer with a panicked face hurriedly spoke:

"Report to Your Excellency Commander, the Wing Commander of the 128th Wing of Shanhaiguan has sent an urgent telegram..."

"Nani? Shanhaiguan 128 Infantry Wing, how could they go beyond the command headquarters and send a telegram directly to the front enemy command. Could it be that there is something wrong in the direction of Shanhaiguan..."Glancing at the communication staff officer in front of him with a panicked expression, Lieutenant General Kimura Hyotaro took the telegram with a puzzled expression. Frowning his brow, he began to take a quick stroll.

After reading the telegram sent by a wing commander in the Shanhaiguan area, Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura, who had just turned red. At this moment, the whole face has already turned pale.

With a trembling right hand, after handing the telegram to Major General Kuroda who looked puzzled in front of him, Kimura Hyotaro asked anxiously: "Kuroda-kun, the impregnable Shanhaiguan defense line was actually broken through by the Eighth Route Army. Then, hundreds of thousands of Jīng Rui of the Northeast Field Army of the Eighth Route Army can drive straight into our rear and march to our rear. At that time, the hundreds of thousands of Japanese Imperial Army we have deployed on the front line will be attacked by the Eighth Route Army in front and back, and there is a danger of annihilation at any time... Kuroda-kun, what should we do next, should we retreat before the main force of the Eighth Route Army arrives? ”

Lieutenant General Kimura Hyotaro's words were like a thunderclap, making the expressions on the faces of everyone in the headquarters instantly freeze there. For a while, the entire command headquarters could no longer feel the relaxed atmosphere just now, but was replaced by a solemn atmosphere that almost overwhelmed people.

Major General Kuroda, who was also briefly shocked, did not show any panic in the face of Kimura Hyotaro's questioning. Instead, he looked at the map in front of him and said with an affirmative face.

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, although the Eighth Route Army has hundreds of thousands of troops, it has successfully broken through the defense line of our Shanhaiguan Pass. However, it will take at least three to four days for hundreds of thousands of troops to reach the Mengshan area from Shanhaiguan. Three to four days was enough time for the two divisions to stay in Baishan County to carry out a thorough sweep and destruction of the base area of the Eighth Route Army. By that time, even if hundreds of thousands of field troops suddenly appeared in our big rear. We can also directly cross the base of the Eighth Route Army, which has become a ruin, and retreat from the north of Baishan County. ”

After all, the survival of hundreds of thousands of troops is at stake, and Chief of Staff Hyotaro Kimura has to think carefully. After a short period of thought, he said, "Kuroda-kun, let me think about it before making a decision..."

Finally, while everyone was anxiously waiting, Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura, who had been deducing and thinking for a few minutes, finally raised his head. Then, he said to Major General Kuroda in front of him: "Kuroda-kun, according to your idea, the success rate of our Imperial Japanese Army is more than 80 percent. So, I decided to follow the plan you just made. ”

Seeing Major General Kuroda's face, a smile of excitement immediately appeared, and Lieutenant General Kimura Hyotaro's face immediately became extremely serious. Then, facing the group of combat staff officers in front of him, he ordered with a solemn face.

"Now I order that the Shenyang Air Force must attack on all fronts starting tomorrow morning and find the specific traces of the main force of the Eighth Route Army. Then, with non-stop air strikes, slow down their march. At the same time, a large number of their living forces were killed. ”

"The 132nd and 133rd divisions and regiments that are staying in Baishan County are ordered to start their primary work at once starting tomorrow morning, and directly attack the base areas of the Eighth Route Army, and must completely destroy their base areas within three days. After completing the task, the two divisions must occupy the base area, cover the follow-up troops of our army, and retreat from the Mengshan area..."

"Command 125 to 128 four main divisions. In the next three days, carry out appropriate sorties to kill and injure as much as possible the living forces of the main force of the Eighth Route Army. Three days later, the troops immediately assembled, abandoned all their baggage and heavy weapons, and withdrew from the Mengshan area with the support of the 132nd and 133rd divisions...."

"At the same time, the telegraph ordered all the local garrisons from Shanhaiguan to Mengshan County, and must have the right to advance north to the main force of the Eighth Route Army. If any troops are afraid of the enemy, military law will be carried out...", as Lieutenant General Kimura Hyotaro finished speaking, his face was still solemn just now, and at this moment, a thick murderous aura was already revealed. Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura in front of him, and the combat staff officers who recorded the orders, did not hesitate and replied almost in unison.

"Hai, Your Excellency Commander..."

In Baishan County, in order to escape the biting cold wind unique to the three northeastern provinces at night. The two assistant divisions of the Japanese army, more than 40,000 soldiers, almost half of the troops, are densely distributed in the streets and alleys of Baishan County.

At this moment, more than 40,000 Japanese troops, without exception, were all immersed in the joy of successfully recapturing Baishan County from the Eighth Route Army two days ago, without firing a single shot. Unbeknownst to them, at this moment, they were sitting above a huge fire bucket.

In the headquarters of the Japanese army, because the time was approaching dawn. The two regiment commanders were gathered in the headquarters to discuss the specific combat matters of the troops during the day in front of a huge military map. I don't know that at this moment, their lives have entered the countdown stage.

Just when the two division commanders were discussing the assignment of tasks during the day with great interest. A rush of footsteps interrupted the two of them. Immediately after, an anxious voice reached the ears of the two.

"Your Excellency the commander of the report division, the former enemy command is in an emergency..."

"Read..."The two division commanders glared at the staff officers in front of them with great dissatisfaction, and said in unison.

"Hai, the command of the former enemy ordered that our 132nd Division and 133rd Division should immediately launch a sortie starting this morning, smash the base area of the Eighth Route Army, and be sure to completely destroy its base area within three days. After completing the task, the two divisions must occupy the base area, cover the follow-up troops of our army, and retreat from the Mengshan area...."

"Nakajima-kun, it seems that we have just been discussing for half an hour, and now it seems that there is no effect. I really didn't expect that the former enemy headquarters would be in such a hurry, and before the specific enemy situation could be reconnoitred, it would order the two of us to attack rashly...."Lieutenant General Lotte, commander of the 132nd Division, said.

"yes, I don't know. However, I believe that since the former enemy command has made such a decision, there must be his reasons. And what we have to do is to follow the orders of the former enemy command and go straight to the base of the Eighth Route Army..."Lieutenant General Nakajima nodded approvingly in response.
