Beginning on 1 October, the allied forces of the Central and Northeast armies on the front line of the Daling River in Jinzhou began to exert their greatest might; after Zhang Xueliang and Guo Songling issued the order for a decisive battle, all the senior officers pressed into the headquarters of the troops on the front line to supervise the battle, and the brigade commanders and regiment commanders were even present in the firing line to direct the battle

At eight o'clock sharp, the heavy artillery group deployed at the foot of the Little Bauhinia Mountain and the 180 75-mm mountain guns assigned to the five independent artillery regiments assigned to the Central Group burst into a roar at the same time, and the fierce and scorching shells scorched the Japanese positions on the other side of the Daling River. At the same time, the Northeast Army Air Force also began to act, and fifty F-1A destroyers, each carrying a 50-kilogram bomb, flew over the Daling River in a neat queue. Their target is the Japanese artillery position, and the Northeast Army is now actually fighting a mechanized war of air-ground artillery coordination, but it is unknown what the effect is?

On the high ground northwest of the rear of the Japanese defense line, the commander of the Japanese Kwantung Army, Takashi Kari, and the commander of the Second Division, Jiro Tamon, both held binoculars and stared at the scene in front of them. I saw with my own eyes the powerful squadron artillery group repeatedly ploughing the defense line that the Japanese army had worked so hard to build, and watched the orange-red flames explode one after another on the position, rejecting the deer, civil fortifications and weapons, and the stumps and severed arms of the human body into the sky. I also saw dozens of small biplane planes belonging to the squadron hovering unscrupulously over the battlefield, constantly dropping bombs on the Japanese artillery positions...... Fortunately, these pilots of the Northeast Army did not seem to be able to play dive bombing, so the Japanese artillery group was not suppressed.

Ryokari put down his binoculars and cursed in a low voice, saying that all those idiots of the eight-grid air force should be seppuku."

Duomen Jiro also put down the binoculars, and said with a wry smile that Shenyang is much farther away from here, and the imperial pilots should still be on the way, right? There are not many words, fortunately, the air force of the Northeast Army is not as good as the Kuomintang army......" As he spoke, he unconsciously turned his head, looked at the sky in the south, and sighed softly Puyi's consuls of the three eastern provinces seem to be not recognized by the two governments of the north and south of China, will the empire fall into a quagmire if it goes on like this? ”

Ryokari smiled coldly, what the Beijing government would admit would recognize: "He pointed to the other side of the Daling River, where the elite main forces of the Beijing government were concentrated, as long as the imperial army could destroy it in this battle of Jinzhou, they would lose the basis for maintaining their rule, and then there would be a way out except to recognize the status quo of the three eastern provinces in exchange for the support of the empire?" As for Wuhan...... Hehe, they are obviously also making a small calculation, these people always put infighting above the national war" After speaking, he raised his binoculars again and began to observe the battle situation on the front line.

The Northeast Army, which was responsible for the breakthrough of the center, had now begun to force its forces in a chaotic manner under the heavy fire network of the Japanese army, but the number of troops invested was twice as large as the attack on the north and south flanks. All 24 infantry battalions of a whole division began to cross the river at the same time on a frontal nearly 10 kilometers wide, and they did not distinguish between the main attack and the containment, in short, relying on absolute numerical superiority, using the density of men to fight the density of Japanese firepower, and the task of their division was to rush across the river, and then open up a starting position for the 1st Armored Cavalry Brigade, even if it was fought to the last man, it must be completed to the letter

Zhang Xueliang and Guo Songling also climbed to the top of Little Bauhinia Mountain at this time, and in a carefully constructed shelter, they used high-powered binoculars to observe the hellish scene on the Daling River in the distance. The soldiers who watched the soldiers boarded the wooden rafts that were hastily tied one by one, and rushed into the fire net of the Japanese army without hesitation, the dead people were one by one, it was impossible to estimate, and the entire Daling River was full of dead corpses, but there were more people panting and paddling with various tools, and the small wooden rafts slowly moved to the opposite bank in this way, and finally landed on the shore.

Although the Japanese troops on the opposite bank were desperately firing, they were still unable to suppress so many people in the river channel that was no more than 100 meters wide. Seeing that there are more and more people crossing the river, it is already densely spread on the opposite river beach.

"Finally broke through" Guo Songling put down the binoculars and let out a long breath, but there were shallow tears on his face.

Zhang Xueliang's face was pale, his lips trembled slightly, the Japanese army's defense was stronger than we thought, and the artillery bombardment did not seem to have achieved the desired effect, and the air force ...... Their cannons were also not suppressed. It seems that in terms of multi-arm coordination, we are far inferior to the Kuomintang army...... This battle is still desperate, and it is the old foundation of our Northeast Army...... Teacher, there were heavy casualties in this battle......"

Guo Songling raised his hand to wipe the tears on his cheeks, and smiled faintly. He put down the binoculars in his hand, paced a few steps in the shelter with his hands behind his back, and sighed softly Han Qing, if our Northeast Army loses its homeland, it will be a lost dog, how long can we last with the savings in our hands? Wait until those savings are spent...... Who will feed the army of two or three hundred thousand? GCD in Beijing or KMT in Wuhan? Would they be so kind? Rather than being co-opted and reorganized by others at that time, and being infamous as a national sinner, it is better to fight here"

He looked around to make sure that there were no outsiders in the shelter department, so he lowered his voice and said If this battle is exhausted, let's go to Wuhan to join the Kuomintang, with this vigorous battle of Jinzhou, a national hero's hat is always indispensable. And there are also the savings left by the old handsome, and when the time comes, I will do a little bit up and down...... If we win this battle or can draw it, I guess the Japanese will negotiate with us. It's a big deal, let's make a little concession, for example, give the Japanese a little preferential treatment in the agreed tariffs, this Northeast is still ours, at most, just give the Kuomintang a piece of the pie in Heilongjiang. ”

Zhang Xueliang nodded lightly, as if he agreed with the teacher's analysis, his territory in the pass was very narrow in this time and space, and he couldn't raise an army of 200,000 at all. If you don't retreat without a fight, it won't be long before your savings are exhausted and your team is scattered. At that time, I am afraid that I will be held accountable by GCD for the loss of the Northeast, so this battle has to be fought......

"Teacher, look at the current situation, can we win without skipping words.

Guo Songling nodded noncommittally, raised the binoculars again, and began to observe the battle situation on the front line. At this time, the troops who forced the crossing seemed to have gained a firm foothold and began to storm the forward positions of the Japanese army under the cover of artillery and machine guns. Behind them, more troops are also starting to cross the river, and sappers are erecting pontoon bridges...... Everything seems to be going well, but Guo Songling always feels that something is faintly wrong, but what is wrong?

……

"Jinzhou...... Jinzhou ......"

Zhang Zuoxiang paced in the study with his hands behind his back, muttering "Jinzhou" in his mouth, and on the wall of the study there was also a military map of the front line of the Daling River in Jinzhou, which was densely marked with the names of all armies, including the Northeast Army and the G Army, but the position of the Japanese army east of the Daling River was blank.

Behind him stood Jiang Dengxuan and Yang Yuting, both of whom were blue at the moment, and their four eyes were fixed on the map.

Half a day later, Zhang Zuoxiang shook his head, and sighed heavily with a heavy sigh of 300,000 troops, more than 400 cannons, including 100,000 of the so-called elite G Army. With so many people and so many cannons, this battle should be a bit certain...... Even if it's a draw...... This Northeast is left by the veteran to the young marshal."

"What the assistant commander said is, as long as this battle is won...... Wang Zhongyi, who is still the old Zhang family in the northeast, has to go back to Mongolia honestly" Jiang Dengxuan, who was ordered to stay in Harbin, was actually loyal to the Zhang family, and he was in favor of Wang Zhongyi's eastward advance, but he was also forced by the pressure of the Japanese army, and at this time, he naturally hoped that the Northeast Army and the G Army could win in Jinzhou.

Yang Yuting smiled faintly, Tie Qing's face showed a hint of ridicule How many catties and taels does the Northeast Army have, how much ability does Guo Devil have, don't we yet? If you can lose this battle, you can't win it...... Unless the GCD agrees to let the Kuomintang army enter the Jinpu Road and pull the Kuomintang ** army up......"

Zhang Zuoxiang turned white, Yang Yuting glanced at Neighbor Ge, don't you look forward to it? Han Qing said that it is also the blood of the veteran, even if he doesn't deal with you...... Also look at the veteran's face......"

"Auxiliary Marshal" Yang Yuting stomped his feet to fight, this kind of thing can be won by hope? This battle is really unwinnable, not to mention anything else, but the hard work of the Japanese in our Northeast for more than 20 years is enough for us to drink a pot of our Northeast Army, I am afraid that there is more than one Xiqia old commander who returned to the Northeast last year, and the Japanese can accurately grasp the plan for the Battle of Jinzhou this time...... Ryokari Takashi is afraid that there is a copy at hand, do you say this battle is a way to fight? In my opinion...... We can't have so many illusions, we have to quickly take advantage of the situation of Jinzhou to expand the army, whether it is the Kuomintang or Wang Zhongyi...... Defending North Manchurian is the last word right now."

Zhang Zuoxiang frowned, turned around and glanced at Jiang Dengxuan behind him, you see? ”

Jiang Dengxuan first nodded, then shook his head, and finally smiled bitterly, no, Jinzhou was fierce in the first battle, and Guo Maochen was afraid that they also had to fight. And...... Even if we repel the enemy in front of Da Ling River, and wait until the devil's reinforcements arrive, we will still lose this battle, and we are afraid that we will have to prepare for the worst......"

……

At the same moment, in a luxury villa on Sun Island in the north of Harbin, Luo Yaoguo, Wang Zhongyi and others were also holding tea cups, discussing their plans after the defeat of the Battle of Jinzhou, and the atmosphere in the room was solemn.

Luo Yaoguo was full of confidence in the defeat of the Battle of Jinzhou, because at this time, Wan Yanhao, who was in charge of the Northeast Intelligence Work, had already sent a copy of the Jinzhou Battle Plan drawn up by Guo Songling from Kawashima Yoshiko to him, since Kawashima Yoshiko had already obtained the hole cards of the Northeast Army, would Ryoshikari have it in hand? If the Japanese want to lose such a battle again, it will be unreasonable.

Most of the generals of the Kuomintang and Wang Zhongyi who were sitting here were now gloomy, shaking their heads and sighing, exchanging opinions in low voices from time to time, and saying things that complained about the Northeast Army. Only the handsome-looking Lin Yurong didn't say a word, just looked at the Huangpu brothers in the corner with sad faces, but they snickered there. He doesn't look like a good guy......

Luo Yaoguo is another person with a smile on his face, his eyes looked around the room, and finally fell on this smiling Lin Yurong Yurong Do you have an opinion on the situation after the Battle of Jinzhou Don't skip words.

Hearing Luo Yaoguo's question, Lin Yurong also hurriedly put away his inappropriate facial expressions and replaced them with a serious face, the students thought that how the situation would develop after the Battle of Jinzhou was whether we could make good use of the preciousness that the Battle of Jinzhou had won for us. His tone abruptly increased, and it also depended on whether the auxiliary duke and the Nationalist government could find a way to prolong the Battle of Jinzhou...... If this battle can be fought for three months, our Anti-Japanese Federation will be able to expand to at least 300,000 troops, complete the transfer of materials and baggage, and complete the layout of the mountainous areas of western Liaoning, Changbai Mountains, and the Greater and Lesser Xing'anling Mountains. At that time, even if Harbin is not guaranteed, we will be able to maintain the war situation."

Luo Yaoguo nodded with a smile and maintained the war situation, which is good. Until the KMT and the CPC can truly unite and unite with the outside world, the situation in the Northeast can only be maintained. Yurong, listening to what you just said, it seems that you already have a comprehensive plan for how to maintain this situation? Let's hear about it, shall we? No less words"

Lin Yurong glanced at Wang Zhongyi, and when he saw that he was also nodding with a smile, he snapped upright, and respectfully gave Luo Yaoguo a military salute. He believed that the key to maintaining the situation in the Northeast War lay in both offensive and defensive, frontal battlefields and battlefields behind enemy lines. Only when the various battlefields cooperate with each other and fight in concert can it be possible to maintain the situation by using inferior forces. ”

“…… We cannot adopt a strategy of pure defense or pure offensive, still less can we have the illusion of using the Songhua River as the boundary to protect North Manchuria, the Japanese will not give us such an opportunity, if we want to keep more territory in North Manchuria, we cannot allow South Manchuria to maintain stability, we must actively develop southward. With a small and advantageous force as the backbone, we will do everything possible to expand the anti-Japanese armed forces, and then use the mountainous areas of South Manchuria as a base to carry out mountain guerrilla warfare, and finally strive to turn the vast countryside of South Manchuria into a battlefield for us to fight against the Japanese invaders."

“…… Nor can our main forces engage the Japanese in a purely positional defensive battle. Because our logistical replenishment can only rely on limited stocks, once it is depleted, there will be no replenishment. And positional warfare is precisely to fight firepower, attrition, and logistics...... With our limited inventory to fight with the Japanese army's strong industrial structure, we will only fight weaker and weaker, and in the end it is inevitable that we will fail, and our thinking is that we should adopt strategic defense and tactical offensive in North Manchuria, with the movement of large corps as the main mode of operation. Regardless of the gains and losses of one city or one place, the main purpose of the operation is to eliminate the living forces of the Japanese invaders. ”

“…… In addition, guerrilla warfare in the mountainous areas and rural areas in South Manchuria and the movement warfare of large corps in North Manchuria should be coordinated with each other, and they must not fight separately, and only when the two battlefields behind enemy lines and in front of the enemy are advantageously coordinated can they defeat the superior enemy with inferior forces and drag Japan into the quagmire of northeast China, and finally drag it down and bring it down."

Luo Yaoguo clapped his hands, laughed and said, "Cultivate your appearance well, it is really my elite in Huangpu, it seems that it was my biggest mistake to let you come to the Northeast at the beginning." He half-turned around and smiled at Chen Cheng Brother Xiu, what do you think of the method of cultivating appearance?"

Chen Cheng also looked at the younger generation of the fourth phase of Huangpu with appreciation, and said with a smile that he couldn't sleep for a few days before coming to Harbin. Now that he heard Yurong's words, it can be said that he suddenly opened up, "He arched his hand at Wang Zhongyi, Brother Zhongyi, our deputy chief of staff of the Anti-Japanese Federation is none other than Lin Yurong, you must cut your love." ”

Wang Zhongyi clapped his hands and smiled, where did Brother Xiu speak? In the future, we will be like a family, where do we need to share each other? The idea was to bring together the Seventh Route Army, the Northeast Army, and the National ** Army in North Manchuria to form a unified anti-Japanese coalition army. The Seventh Route Army was renamed the First Army of the Anti-Japanese Federation, the Northeast Army was called the Second Army of the Anti-Japanese Federation, and the National ** Army was the Third Army of the Anti-Japanese Federation. Under each corps, two armies and six divisions are organized, with the first level of the corps being assigned to the artillery brigade, the first level of the army being assigned to the artillery regiment, and the first level of the division being equipped with artillery battalions. What do you think of this plan? ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone in the room was already happy. In particular, the generals sent by the Kuomintang, such as Chen Mingren and Du Yuming, all cast grateful eyes at Wang Zhongyi. If the large establishment of the six divisions of the two armies can be brought down, it will be a large number of army commanders, division commanders, and brigade commanders, and it will not be easy to grow one level in the national ** army in the south......

Luo Yaoguo, of course, this is Wang Zhongyi selling favors to those Kuomintang officers, and he also smiled and said No, I also agree with this method. The northeast is not as good as the south, and in the end, it is a former enemy, and its life is in danger all the time, so it should be given a relatively high military rank and status. I'll discuss this with Jiegong and Zhangong, and I should be able to come down. It's just that...... With so many troops expanding at once, is it difficult to have a source of weapons and soldiers?

Wang Zhongyi waved his hand, and said with a smile, Third brother, you are really a noble person, you have given us so many weapons and equipment for the Seventh Route Army over the years, enough to arm two or three hundred thousand troops, and now you don't take it out, do you put it at home and wait for the cubs? As for conscription...... Yurong also has a plan. He glanced at Lin Yurong beside him, and said with a smile Yurong's suggestion is to take advantage of the opportunity of the battle between the Japanese army and the G Army of the Northeast Army in Jinzhou to launch a southern expedition, cross the Songhua River to recover Changchun and Jilin, and start the brand of our anti-alliance.
