On the Liaodong front, more than 100,000 people from nine infantry divisions of the Jilin Army were still fighting fiercely with more than 100,000 people from seven divisions of the Japanese army. No matter in terms of strength or the battlefield situation, the Jilin Army has already gained the absolute upper hand.

Xiliu, the 5th Infantry Division and the 6th Infantry Division of the Jilin Army are besieging the 9th Division of the Japanese Army. The hundreds of 155-mm heavy howitzers of the 1st Heavy Artillery Brigade continued to pour large-caliber shells onto the Japanese positions, blowing up the Japanese fortifications and causing great casualties to the Japanese troops. The fortifications built in a hurry by the Japanese army could not withstand the shelling of large-caliber heavy artillery at all. If a cannon goes down, often even the anti-artillery hole will be directly blown up, and all the Japanese officers and soldiers hiding inside will be buried alive inside.

The powerful firepower was used to continuously destroy the Japanese fortifications, and then the living space of the Japanese army was compressed step by step, so that the casualties of the Japanese Ninth Division were getting bigger and bigger. The balance of victory is also constantly pouring on the Jilin Army.

"Order the departments to intensify the offensive. Little Japan is about to be unable to hold on, and with a little more effort, they can be wiped out. Major General Zhao Tianlong, commander of the 6th Infantry Division, ordered.

"Yes, Commander." The herald immediately went to deliver the order.

"Telegram from the division commander, the young marshal." A communications officer handed a telegram to Major General Zhao Tianlong.

Major General Zhao Tianlong took the telegram and looked at it, and a trace of anger suddenly flashed on his face: "These little Japan, when they are dying, are still so hard-mouthed, and they still want to blackmail us." If you don't get rid of them all, Lao Tzu won't be surnamed Zhao. ”

Wu Haoxuan claimed in the telegram that the negotiations were not going well, and the Japanese lion opened his mouth and demanded very high. Therefore, he asked the divisions that fought in Liaodong. Intensify the offensive and eliminate all the encircled Japanese troops in one fell swoop, so as to further pressure the Japanese to compromise.

Subsequently, Major General Zhao Tianlong appeared on the front line and personally commanded the offensive of various units. The offensive of the various units of the Jilin Army was immediately strengthened. It made the Japanese army miserable. The huge casualties greatly affected their morale and at the same time lost supplies. The reason why I was able to persevere was because of the belief in my heart. However, in the face of the fierce attack of the Jilin Army, the Japanese could not hold on.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the attack of the Zhina people is too fierce, and the front-line troops have suffered heavy casualties, and they are about to be unable to support it. General Yamaguchi asked for support. The chief of staff of the 9th Division of the Japanese Army, Shinyama Conscience Osa, reported.

"Reinforcements? Where do I go to find reinforcements? Tell Katsu Yamaguchi that if you can't keep it, you have to keep it for me. Even if you die in battle. It is also necessary to resist the attack of the Jilin Army. Lieutenant General Katsuka Tsukamoto said viciously. Because of the unfavorable situation of the battle, the situation of the Ninth Division was very dangerous, and he had no reinforcements in his hands at all. Even those civilian personnel at the division and regimental headquarters took up arms and went to the front.

"Yes, Your Excellency Division Commander." Shinzan Conscience Osa nodded. He also knew that the Ninth Division had reached the point of running out of ammunition and food.

In the afternoon of the same day, the defense line of the 18th Infantry Brigade under the 9th Division of the Japanese Army was broken, and the entire 18th Infantry Brigade was killed, including the brigade commander, Major General Katsu Yamaguchi. None survived.

After the Jilin Army solved the 18th Infantry Brigade of the Japanese Army, it followed this gap. Stormed the core positions of the Japanese 9th Division, causing the entire Japanese defense line to collapse. In the evening, the headquarters of the 9th Division of the Japanese Army was taken, and Lieutenant General Katsuka Tsukamoto and other senior Japanese generals were all killed.

The entire 9th Division of the Japanese Army and the 16th Infantry Brigade of the 4th Division of the Japanese Army were all annihilated. But. Nearly 10,000 people surrendered this time. This was mainly the surrender of the 16th Infantry Brigade under the 4th Division of the Japanese Army, which led to the surrender of some other Japanese troops in the 9th Division. The power of example is still great. Under such circumstances, the Japanese army naturally could not hold on.

The 9th Division of the Japanese Army was completely annihilated, which once again dealt a heavy blow to Japan. Yingkou defense line. Except for more than 10,000 people of the Fourth Division and a wing of the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army, there were no other troops. In addition, the 4th Division of the Japanese Army has completely become a frightened bird. Therefore, the Jilin Army only needs to leave one infantry division to watch them. The remaining two infantry divisions can be thrown into other battlefields.

The question of how to arrange these infantry divisions was handed over to Wu Haoxuan. Wu Haoxuan couldn't help but look at the map and pondered.

"After the 9th Division of the Japanese Army was encircled and annihilated, the next target of the Jilin Army to annihilate was the remaining two divisions of the Kwantung Army of the Japanese Army. The 6th and 8th Divisions of the Japanese Army, under the siege of the Jilin Army, had already suffered heavy losses. Now the army that continues to hold on to Qingshiling is probably not even 20,000 people. If they are eliminated as well, then this war can be over. Wu Haoxuan said secretly.

Although, there were still a few Japanese divisions left. However, these Japanese divisions were not so easy to eliminate. A part of the 4th Division of the Japanese Army took refuge in Yingkou, under the protection of the naval guns of the Japanese Navy. As long as the Jilin Army is not kicked in the brain, it will not take the initiative to attack. The same was true of the 5th and 7th Divisions of the Japanese Army, which were entrenched under the protection of the naval guns of the Japanese Navy, and the Jilin Army had no way to take them. As for the 1st Division of the Japanese Army, although there was a fierce battle in Gaizhou and the 1st Infantry Division of the Jilin Army. But if the war doesn't go well, they can withdraw to Arthur. Lushun has a complete fortification built by the Japanese army, and it will undoubtedly be very difficult for the Jilin Army to capture it under the current conditions.

"In any case, in this negotiation, the Japanese army must be completely driven out of the northeast. Strategic places such as Dalian and Lushun must be recaptured. Wu Haoxuan thought secretly.

It's just that Wu Haoxuan also knows that it is very difficult to get the Japanese to give up Kanto Prefecture. The Japanese used the Kwantung Prefecture as a bridgehead for their invasion of China, and how could they easily give up what they had won after so many deaths in the Russo-Japanese War?

Wu Haoxuan's eyes swirled around the map, thinking about how to break the game. Judging from the current situation, only by letting the Japanese take the initiative to give up the attack on Dalian and Lushun can the Jilin Army be able to recover itself at the minimum cost. If the army is sent to attack, then the Jilin army will probably have to be prepared to pay a heavy price. Wu Haoxuan is unwilling to do such a business.

"Hey, there's a way. Since the Japanese army has a well-established defense system in Kwantung Prefecture, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Then, we will find another way and send troops to attack North Korea. After taking Korea, exchange with the Japanese. The Japanese did not suffer by exchanging North Korea for the Kanto state. Wu Haoxuan thought. The more he thought about it, the more he thought it was a good idea. So, the order was given immediately.

"Give the 6th Infantry Division an order to march to Korea and attack Korea while the Japanese are empty in Korea." Wu Haoxuan ordered.

"Yes, young marshal." Li Yanling nodded, and immediately ordered someone to send a telegram.

After the defeat of the Korean army in Japan, Japan had only a few police officers in Korea. In addition, there were some colonial troops formed by recruiting local Koreans, which were not only poorly equipped, but also extremely scumbag in combat effectiveness. If you want to resist the attack of the elite Jilin Army, it is basically impossible. After taking Korea, the Jilin Army will have enough confidence to continue talks with the Japanese.

Major General Zhao Tianlong, commander of the 6th Infantry Division of the Jilin Army, was a little confused after receiving Wu Haoxuan's order. Why, in the blink of an eye, it is about to march to North Korea again. However, the duty of a soldier is to obey orders. Early the next morning, the 6th Infantry Division began to advance towards Korea. The battle in Liaodong was handed over to other troops.

On the morning of 27 September, negotiations continued. However, no progress has been made in today's negotiations.

As soon as the negotiations began, the Japanese minister to China, Hayashi Quansuke, accused the Jilin Army of brazenly launching an attack. He strongly demanded that the Jilin Army stop the offensive during the negotiations.

It's just that Wu Haoxuan turned a deaf ear to his request. Wu Haoxuan insisted that if the talks could not be concluded at an early date, then the Jilin Army's offensive would not stop. Until the entire Japanese army on the Liaodong Peninsula is wiped out.

Wu Haoxuan's attitude made Lin Quanzhu very angry. But there was no other way for him. At present, the advantage of the battlefield is completely under the control of the Jilin Army. The destruction of the 9th Division once again dealt a great blow to Japan. Japanese Prime Minister Saionji Konozo had sent him a telegram directly, asking him to reach an agreement with the Jilin Army as soon as possible. Of course, the precondition is not to harm Japan's interests.

This made Lin Quanzhu very embarrassed, and Wu Haoxuan's attitude was very tough. If Japan wants to be uncompromising, it will be impossible to reach an agreement. But he could not back down, or else Japan would have to lose all the benefits that Japan had gained at great cost. Such a price cannot be borne by Japan. So, the negotiations reached an impasse.

While the Shanhaiguan negotiations were at an impasse, the Jilin Army's offensive made great progress. On the Qingshiling front, after the Japanese Kwantung Army was surrounded for many days, it had fallen into a run out of ammunition and food. Especially after the 9th Division of the Japanese Army was encircled and annihilated, the 1st Heavy Artillery Brigade joined the attack on the Kwantung Army, and the addition of more than 100 large-caliber heavy artillery pieces made the situation of the Kwantung Army even more miserable. Originally, they were about to be unable to hold on, and now they couldn't resist it. The addition of the 1st Heavy Artillery Brigade to the offensive directly became the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the situation in Liaodong once again developed in a direction that was unfavorable to Japan.
