The 99th Army, which was already preparing for war, wanted to provoke another war in the blink of an eye. And this time, Su Dao's appetite is also much greater, and he has just gained a foothold in the Northeast for less than two months, and he has once again burst out of his ambitions, and he wants to expand his territory more than twice in one fell swoop.

Su Dao did this, naturally some people liked and some people were superior, and they were happy that Su Dao and Cheng Qian of the First War Zone and Yan Xishan of the Second War Zone, the new round of offensive of the 99th Army could help them contain the Yue army troops in North China, and if there was a fierce fight over there, it would be possible to draw the Yue Army from North China to fight directly through the North China on an equal footing.

In this way, the first and second theaters of war will have enough time to breathe, and they can also organize a counteroffensive against the areas occupied by the Japanese army through the mobilization of troops this time, and at the same time take back the fallen towns into their own hands, so that they can recover the lost land at the minimum cost.

The most unhappy person is Jiang Guangtou, because judging from the newspapers from all sides, the 99th Army is indeed capable of launching a new campaign, as for the previous remark that there is no strength to fight again in a short period of time, it is pure nonsense, and Chairman Jiang did not take those words seriously at all, if he believed Su Dao's words, this supreme leader of the whole country would be in vain.

In fact, Su Dao deceived Chairman Jiang not once or twice, which time didn't give him hope, and then threw him from a high altitude and fell to pieces? Therefore, on the issue of rewards for the last Jinxi Campaign, Jiang Guangtou would write so many empty checks, and as for the replenishment of troops requested by Su Dao, he didn't even look at it.

Guarding the Sixth War Zone by yourself, and you still want to get benefits from the central government? Moreover, the soldiers of each theater are basically recruited by themselves, and the central government will not send a single soldier to each theater at all, except, of course, in wartime. Su Dao was also very satisfied with that result, and Chairman Jiang rejected his request for supplementation, which meant that he could recruit troops justifiably, and as for how much to recruit, it was not up to you, Chairman Jiang, to manage.

And this time, Chairman Jiang was worried for no other reason, but Su Dao's attack again, which made him feel very dissatisfied and made him feel that his prestige was provoked. Originally, according to Chairman Chiang's plan, the 99th Army only needed to hold on to Jinxi and contain the strength of the Kwantung Army.

As long as the main force of the Kwantung Army is dragged to death in the northeast, then the battlefield in the Kannai will be much easier, and it is not impossible to completely defeat the Yue Army in the next few years. But Su Dao's move, the problem leaked out, the Kwantung Army of the Ninety-ninth Army with concentrated forces had no way to deal with him, but it was too simple for the Kwantung Army of the Ninety-ninth Army to be dispersed to destroy them.

Although Chairman Chiang always hoped that the 99th Army could be wiped out by the Kwantung Army, he changed this idea at this time, and I have to say that Chairman Chiang was an extremely contradictory person at the moment, on the one hand, he wanted to destroy the 99th Army, and on the other hand, he hoped that the 99th Army could hold Jinxi and hold the Kwantung Army in the northeast. On the other hand, what made Commissar Chiang unhappy was that once the 99th Army went to war again, the pressure on the first and second theaters would inevitably be greatly reduced, especially on the second theater.

The start of the war in the Sixth Theater indirectly attracted the Japanese troops around the First Theater, and the Japanese Army in the Second War Zone was in danger of being cut off from the rear at this time, so it was naturally impossible to attack on a large scale, and even had to make plans to return to Beiping. However, no matter how annoyed Chairman Chiang was, things had already happened, and by the time he knew all this, the war on the front had already begun, and all the orders seemed to be useless.

At four o'clock in the morning, Lingyuan front.

Since receiving the order to start a war yesterday afternoon, the 767th Division, under the leadership of division commander Sun Jianguo, took advantage of the darkness to pull its troops directly to the border between Lingyuan and Lingnan, and in the afternoon, the new bombers of the Air Force also carried out a bombing of the previously scheduled military targets of the Kwantung Army.

Since the new bomber was put into service, the Air Force has sent bombers to the surrounding areas to bomb every once in a while in order to seize the time to train its troops, so this bombing did not arouse the vigilance of the Kwantung Army.

Moreover, the Air Force left after the bombing, and the Kwantung Army called the Air Force to support it to no avail, often the Air Force had just arrived, and the bomber formation had already run away without a trace, and after doing so many times, he said that he had learned to be obedient, and if he wanted to bomb it, he would blow it up, and I would not call the Air Force anymore, anyway, under the preparation, the bombing effect was not too good.

At this time, it has entered December, and the Battle of Wuhan, which should have ended long ago in history, is still being carried out intensely at this time, and the offensive of the Yue army does not seem to be as fierce as it is said in history, and the air forces of both sides are still the protagonists of this battle.

The winter in the Northeast is indeed not bearable for ordinary people, the cold winter wax moon, the temperature of more than ten degrees below zero makes the soldiers have to walk back and forth to keep warm, and the soldiers in charge of the sentry also have to rub their hands back and forth, although they are not short of winter clothes, there is a cotton coat on top of the cotton clothes and trousers, but it is still too insufficient to stay in this wilderness in this dark night.

Yang Ergou dragged his tired body and ran forward step by step, wearing the uniform of the Kwantung Army allowed him to avoid a lot of trouble along the way, but Rao was like this, he still didn't dare to pass directly through the Kwantung Army troops, and when he saw the Kwantung Army soldiers from afar, he could only choose to avoid them by taking a detour.

When Yang Ergou saw a faint figure walking in front of him, Yang Ergou's first reaction was to hide first, and then find a way to go back, and he was the only one left in a squad of soldiers who came out with him, if he couldn't return to the army safely, the soldiers of this squad would die in vain, and more soldiers would die in intelligence mistakes.

With the departure of the figure, Yang Ergou got up and ran forward slowly, according to the map in his memory, this should be near the border, and he could reach the position of their division not far forward, as long as he got there, his mission would be considered a success. At this time, Yang Ergou could only forcibly hold on, forcing himself not to fall here, falling here means failure, and he will never allow himself to fail.

"Stop!" Suddenly, a figure suddenly stood up from the dry blades of grass on the left side of the road, and the spear in his hand was also pointed directly at Yang Ergou, they were the secret sentinels in charge of this place, not far from him, and there were no less than three secret sentinels.

"I am Yang Ergou from the third company, fifth platoon, and fourth squad of the divisional reconnaissance battalion." Yang Ergou suddenly raised his hands high, and at the same time quickly reported his identity. He just wanted to pass through here as soon as possible, after all, this is still the border, and there are scattered enemy troops on the opposite side, in case anyone who doesn't open his eyes and gives him a shot in the back, the mission is still tantamount to failure.

After the secret sentry checked Yang Ergou's identity tag and the clothes he wore inside, he waved his hand and asked the bright sentry behind him to come and take over, and the rest didn't matter what happened to him, but this position had been leaked, and he had to go to the back first, and then quietly lurk in another position.

Yang Ergou's identity was quickly confirmed, and a fellow villager of Yang Ergou happened to be in this unit, so the troops on the front line directly sent Yang Ergou to the 767 Division headquarters by truck, Yang Ergou only said that there was important information that needed to be reported to the division commander that year, and the people below were not good at asking for specific information, so they could only arrange for him to go to the rear as soon as possible.

"Division, a soldier from the third company and fifth platoon of the reconnaissance battalion has returned, saying that there is important information." Sun Jianguo, who was smoking a cigarette in the division headquarters, thinking about how to quickly take down Ling Yuan, was suddenly disturbed by his thoughts, before the intelligence said that the Kwantung Army had disappeared a division of troops, and Su Dao also told them not to be careless during the pre-war meeting, because the division that disappeared was likely to be staring at them in the dark.

The Air Force's extensive search did not find the specific location of that division, but just when they had just occupied Jinxi, the Air Force did find a reorganized Kwantung Army division near Ningcheng, and what Sun Jianguo thought about the most just now was this disappeared Yue Army Division.

Yang Ergou, who had eaten something on the way, recovered some of his strength slightly, and after entering the division headquarters, he didn't have time to salute Sun Jianguo and other superiors, and directly looked around at the combat map of the division headquarters, and after discovering the location of the map, he ran directly to the side of the map without saying a word, stared at the map for about five seconds, and then reached out and picked up the pencil that was placed under the combat map, and drew a circle in the northeast of Lingyuan.

"Division, here the mountains and forests are dense, only a path that the hunters walk out of when they usually hunt, we first found traces of a large group of people and horses passing by, and after following up, we found about a division of the Kwantung Army here, originally we wanted to go in to get more information, but I didn't expect to be discovered by the Kwantung Army because we couldn't speak, and I ran back to our class." Yang Ergou pointed to the circle on the map and said.

"Are you sure it's here?" When Sun Jianguo heard that he had found the enemy, he hurriedly stepped forward and lay on the map to look at the location of the enemy, and after a long time, Sun Jianguo frowned and looked at Yang Ergou and asked out loud. The air force here has already conducted reconnaissance twice, the most recent of which was yesterday afternoon, and it has not found any trace of troop activity at all, and the mountains there are not too high, so it is very difficult for the army to hide the troops of a division there.

"Sure, we went in to see it, the Kwantung Army is basically lined up at the foot of the mountain, and the most basic camouflage has been made on the body, it is difficult to find out that there are people here from the air, and we only found out after entering it, and we can't see it clearly from a distance." Yang Ergou nodded again in confirmation.

'Could it be that the Air Force intelligence is wrong?' Sun Jianguo secretly read a sentence in his heart, but he still decided to be cautious, and said directly to the communications staff officer: "Report the coordinates to the military seat and ask the air force to carry out a tentative bombing of this range."
