From the afternoon of the 23rd, all the troops under Ma Desheng's headquarters launched the most fierce attack on Naiman City, hundreds of large-caliber artillery pieces fired shells at the Japanese positions without interruption, and ground tanks and helicopters also launched three-dimensional attacks on the Japanese positions, and the Japanese troops in the city had to pay extremely heavy prices every moment.

The attack began at one o'clock in the afternoon, and there was no sign of stopping until late at night on the 23rd, which made Tomura Soichi's heart sink to the bottom, according to the posture put forward by Ma Desheng's department, this was to completely destroy them.

In the underground headquarters of the Naiman Garrison Headquarters, Soichi Tomura slammed the sake bottle to the ground and asked angrily, "General Yamada let us hold on for a week?" ”

"Hay! His Excellency Chief of Staff, His Excellency Commander Yamada said that it would take at least 7 days to open the road from Shinkyo to Naiman, and even longer, so he ordered our department to hold out for a week anyway! Staff Officer Shaozo replied loudly.

"Baga, Baga, Ya Lu! Hear it, hundreds of heavy artillery of the Chinese people are constantly bombarding our positions, and the heavy chariots of the Chinese people are constantly impacting the defense line of our army, do you know how many warriors the Imperial Japanese Army lost in today's one-day attack? ”

"There were 1,400 dead in the war, and as many as 2,600 wounded, these are the real elite of the imperial army, and more than 4,000 people are gone! Wait another week for those bastards to come to collect our corpses or to reinforce us, bastards! Soichi Mitsumura roared.

When Ma Desheng's troops besieged Naiman, Ma Zheng ordered the troops in Tongliao City to clear the remnants of the enemy in the city as soon as possible, repair the airport facilities damaged by the war, and the army would continue to increase troops to Tongliao in preparation for the capture of the entire eastern grassland.

With Ma Zheng's order, a large number of troops of the Saibei Corps were assembled, and then quickly transferred to Tongliao by road.

The sharp attack of Ma Zheng's department completely shocked the entire Kwantung Army Headquarters, and neither General Yamada Otosan nor Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Sadachi expected that Ma Zheng's department would use so many paratroopers to fight.

Of course, they didn't expect that Ma Zheng's department would have so many well-trained paratroopers and transport planes, so they were hit by Ma Zheng's department at once.

Immediately, the Kwantung Army Headquarters urgently convened a military meeting to discuss countermeasures, and the top brass of the Kwantung Army unanimously agreed that this was the beginning of Ma Zheng's division to seize the entire eastern steppe, and even the beginning of Ma Zheng's division to seize the entire Manchuria.

General Yamada Otosan was well aware of the importance of Manchuria to the empire, if it was just a mere eastern steppe, the Kwantung Army could barely pinch its nose and admit it, but if the ultimate goal of the Chinese people was the whole of Manchuria, then even if all the Eastern Army and the Chinese army were dispatched for a strategic decisive battle.

As a general of the Japanese Army, Yamada Otozo is already the top officer in the whole of Japan, so he knows a lot of secrets, especially the main operational direction of the Imperial Army in the next few years.

In the view of General Yamada Otozo, there was no room for the Great Japanese Empire's war against the United States and Britain to be turned back, and what to fight in a war was not just a matter of fighting between people, but more about the economy, resources, logistics, and industrial production capacity, and in the end it was comprehensive national strength.

Although the Japanese Empire is now strong in military strength, it is still unable to compete with the United States and Britain in terms of comprehensive national strength, especially in terms of resources, the empire has inherent defects, so the importance of Manchuria is highlighted.

Manchuria is vast and sparsely populated, and is very rich in natural resources. According to the resource survey report of the puppet Manchukuo "State Council" in 1936, the entire Manchuria region has about 3 billion tons of coal reserves, about 4 billion tons of iron reserves, and is also very rich in gold, magnesium, aluminum, oil shale, diamond, forestry, fishery and other resources.

The most irritating aspect of the Japanese is the agricultural conditions in Manchuria, where there are 40 million hectares (4 billion mu) of arable land, according to the report. Among them, 25 million hectares of cultivated land and 170 million hectares of forest have been cultivated.

The annual output is 2.5 million tons of soybeans, 2 million tons of wheat, 700,000 tons of rice, 1 million tons of millet, 8 million tons of sorghum, 5 million tons of corn, 600,000 tons of coarse grains and beans, 300,000 tons of cotton and 160,000 tons of tobacco. The stock includes 4 million horses, 3 million cattle, 30 million sheep and 40 million pigs. The annual output of grain is about 20 million tons, of which about 7.5 million tons of edible grain and 4 million tons of seed grain are required by farmers throughout the year.

This was a very important grain replenishment base for the Great Japanese Empire, which was severely short of grain, and according to the requirements of the Kwantung Army, Manchukuo was to provide Japan with more than 1 million tons of grain every year.

In addition, the industrial base of Manchuria is very developed, and for the Japanese Empire, Manchuria is a milk girl, a source of strength to support the continuous expansion of the Japanese Empire, and an important support for the Japanese Empire to dare to compete with the United States and Britain.

In order to turn Manchuria into a base for the empire to wage war, the Empire of Japan had high hopes for the Kwantung Army.

All in all, Manchuria cannot be lost in any way, and if Manchuria is lost, the efforts of the Great Japanese Empire for a hundred years will be in vain.

With such a consensus, the Kwantung Army Command reacted quickly and immediately dispatched elite troops from the entire puppet Manchurian region to the Tongliao front line to reinforce the Ninth Division.

According to the operational arrangements of the Kwantung Army Headquarters, the Ninth Division should try its best to limit the main force of Ma Zheng's headquarters, and then give the Kwantung Army Command time to transfer troops. Then after the reinforcements arrived in Tongliao, the capital village department should cooperate with the reinforcement center to blossom and completely defeat Ma Zheng's department.

Subsequently, the Kwantung Army Headquarters issued the No. 9 operational plan, mobilizing the 1st Division, 11th Division, 24th Division, 25th Division, 28th Division, 1st Tank Division, 2nd Tank Division, 7th, 8th, and 11th Field Heavy Artillery Brigades, and the 5th Aviation Group to assemble in the Shuangliao direction.

At the same time, the Kwantung Army Command also ordered the puppet Manchukuo Defense Force to send four infantry divisions and one cavalry division to participate in the battle, and also ordered the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Sadachi, to go to Shuangliao to command the operation.

Due to the extreme deterioration of law and order in the entire Manchurian region in recent times, it will take some time for troops to build, and the Kwantung Army is now very limited. Therefore, Yamada Otozo sent a report to the Japanese army headquarters and asked for military assistance from the country.

According to Yamada's estimate, if the Manchurian region wants to restore the state of law and order it had a few years ago, the Kwantung Army still needs to reduce the strength of only six divisions.

On October 25, after three days and three nights of fierce attacks, several lines of defense in Naiman City were completely destroyed by Ma Desheng's department.

In the past three days, the Japanese puppet army in the city has been living like a year, more than 20,000 defenders have suffered more than half of the casualties, and many wounded have died of pain because they cannot be treated in time.

What worries Soichi Tomura the most is that the troops killed in the past few days are mainly Japanese soldiers, and although the puppet army has not suffered any losses, it is still the Japanese army that has suffered many more casualties in comparison. There are still more than 8,000 troops in the city, of which the Japanese army only accounts for more than 2,300 people, while the puppet army has more than 6,000 people.

Ma Desheng's continuous attacks directly tested the will of everyone in the city, and Ma Desheng's department had to distribute a large number of leaflets to the city every day, stating that as long as the puppet army took the initiative to do it anyway, Ma Zheng's department could not blame the past, and if he could lead the troops to surrender, then he could also give a certain amount of treatment, and made a detailed list.

Take 10 people to surrender and immediately appoint as infantry squad leader. With 50 men surrendered, he was immediately awarded the rank of second lieutenant and appointed infantry platoon commander. With 300 people surrendered, he was immediately awarded the rank of lieutenant of infantry and appointed commander of an infantry company. If you can bring 1,000 people to surrender, if you can't say anything, you will be immediately awarded the rank of infantry captain and appointed as the commander of the infantry battalion. If you can surrender with all the puppet troops in the city, then the military district command will appoint you as the commander of the infantry regiment.

This is a naked temptation, in this case, once there is a crack in the will of a person, then the unlucky will be all the defenders in the city, in desperation, the village sect strictly ordered all soldiers not to read the leaflets distributed by Ma Zheng's department, and those who violated the order were immediately shot on the spot.
