On the third day of Meng Qingshan's assassination, Liu Yalou, who was sitting at the headquarters, received a telegram from the front to report the latest movements of the Japanese army, and on the telegram Zhou ****, commander of the Third Division, Zhang Yunzhi, commander of the Second Division, and Chen Hanzhang, commander of the First Division, clearly informed them that since the beginning of mid-September, the number of military trains on the railway lines in the area controlled by the Japanese army has greatly increased, and in late October alone, the number of military trains arriving in Qiqihar from Harbin and Xinjing exceeded the total number of military trains in the previous two months.

Moreover, tactical reconnaissance of the front-line positions showed that the Japanese army had begun to rapidly increase its troops, and in less than a month from late October to 10 November, nearly tens of thousands of new troops of the Japanese army were discovered in the counties of the first-line positions, as well as newly emerged units such as the 13th and 15th divisions of the Jing'an Army.

Not only did the Japanese army increase a large number of troops on the front line, but also greatly increased the allocation of equipment, especially artillery and tanks; four new long-range cannon positions were discovered in the Acheng area of Binjiang Province alone, two in Phu Jin County in the Ha Giang area, and five newly deployed 150 howitzer positions were found in the Fu area of Longjiang Province.

In addition, a large number of newly arrived tank units of the Japanese army were found in the territory of Fufu and Acheng, and the number of reconnaissance personnel alone was at least 50 to 70 medium tanks, as well as hundreds of light tanks of the 94 and 95 types, as well as a large number of cavalry units of the Japanese puppet army.

At the end of October, when the 3rd Regiment and 3rd Battalion of the 1st Division engaged in a skirmish with the Japanese troops in the southern part of Bayan, the Japanese troops dispatched a large group of troops with the cooperation of 13 tanks at one time.

In addition to frequent movements on the ground, the Japanese troops dispatched a large number of reconnaissance planes in the air to conduct detailed reconnaissance of our front-line positions. On average, at least three or more reconnaissance planes can be seen every day on the front-line positions, and the Japanese army is now dispatching bombers from time to time to bomb the main defensive positions on the first-line positions, in addition to routine shelling every day, bombers are also dispatched from time to time to bomb the defensive support points on the first-line and the lines of communication with the rear. Seeing this, the Japanese army is preparing to launch another attack on our Shangjiang area.

Closing his eyes and looking at the contents of these calls, Liu Yalou knew that this situation indicated that the Japanese troops had been deployed in place, the preparations had been roughly completed, and a new round of offensive was about to be in full swing.

Liu Yalou didn't expect the outcome of the upcoming bloody battle, but one thing he knew was that with the completion of the transfer of the Japanese army, it was time to start a war with the Anti-Japanese Alliance, but at this critical moment, the commander-in-chief was assassinated, and the Japanese army had been brewing for a long time. As early as October, the Japanese troops were deployed, and there was no movement, and shortly after the assassination of the commander-in-chief, the Japanese army began to move on a large scale, all indicating that the Japanese army was premeditated.

Liu Yalou knew in his heart that he had to win this unprecedented vicious battle and war that he had faced so far when he came to the Northeast. This is not only the need for the survival of the troops, but also the need for the future development of the Anti-Japanese Federation. If you win, you won, if you lose, there will be nothing, he doesn't want to be the commander-in-chief and wake up and face a mess, so Liu Yalou carefully analyzed the telegrams from various places, marking the deployment of the Japanese army in one place on the sand table, and when the distribution map of the Japanese army was placed. Liu Yalou took a breath of cold air, and saw that the Beiman base area was surrounded by the Japanese army, and he wanted to swallow the anti-union in one go.

If the Commander-in-Chief were here, what would he do to deal with this attack?

After receiving a definite reply from the other side, the commander, Senior General Umezu Mijiro, summoned Major General Hirabayashi Morito, the top adviser of the Manchurian State, Lieutenant General Muto Akira, chief of staff, Lieutenant General Toshio Tani, commander of the 29th Division, Major General Shigeyasu Suzuki, chief of staff of the 10th Division, and Lieutenant General Hattori Shotaro, commander of the 25th Division, to make formal arrangements for the North Manchurian operation, and decided: "1. Establish the First Route Army for the Suppression of Bandits in North Manchuria. Tada Jun served as commander. Led the 10th Division to attack and advance from Longjiang Qiqihar to Nenjiang.

2. Establish the Second Route Army of the North Manchurian Suppression of Bandits, with Hattori Kotaro as the commander, supervising and leading the 25th Division and the Fourth Division, establishing a command post in Jiamusi, attacking the Shangjiang area, and attacking the main force of the Shangjiang Anti-Japanese Federation in four ways, mainly destroying the main force of the Second Division of the Anti-Japanese Federation and the so-called guerrilla troops of the Second Army of the Anti-Japanese Federation, and then jointly attacking the Anti-United Nations Headquarters in the Nenjiang Plain. 3. Establish the Third Route Army for the Suppression of Bandits in North Manchuria, with Gu Shoufu as the commander, to supervise and lead all the troops of Binjiang Province to advance and suppress in three ways, clear out the main force of the Anti-United Nations in the northern part of Binjiang Province, and then jointly attack the Anti-United Nations Headquarters in the Nenjiang Plain. Fourth, the establishment of the North Manchurian Fourth Route Army, with Kawagishi Bunzaburo as the commander, from Zhamtun to the north to attack. ”

After the deployment, Umezu Mijiro was in high spirits, looked around, and said to his generals: "Suppressing the bandits is in this move." If the bandits are successfully suppressed, our army can concentrate its forces to deal with Lao Maozi in Jiangbei. If the suppression of bandits fails, the prestige of our Kwantung Army will be discredited, not to mention the title of the flower of the imperial army, how to talk about the common prosperity of Greater East Asia, all the generals need to work together when they go back, pay close attention to mobilization and deployment, carry forward the spirit of the imperial samurai, and lead the troops under their command to attack quickly to ensure the successful elimination of this group of stubborn bandits in one fell swoop! ”

"Hello!" Several generals also shouted as strong as oxen, and they felt that this battle was like a group of people dividing the cake again, dividing the Beiman base into several pieces.

Umezu Mijiro saw the momentum of the generals, nodded with satisfaction, in his opinion, this time the encirclement and suppression plan could not fail at all, it was only a matter of time to eliminate the group of anti-Japanese alliances, and the thing he had to care about at the moment was whether the people on the side of Jiangbei would send assistance if the anti-Japanese alliance could not hold on, with the current strength and combat effectiveness of the empire was far inferior to Jiangbei, once the battle started in advance, it would be the imperial army that suffered

Meng Qingshan felt that he had a long, long dream.

In the dream, he seems to go back to his childhood, when his father and mother were there, his father went out early and returned late every day to earn money to support the family, and his mother took care of him at home, and he was stupid and playing around stupidly, the scene in the dream was the last time he had a reunion dinner with his family, and his mother personally made a meal that could only be eaten during the Chinese New Year, at that time Meng Qingshan didn't understand anything, just let go of his belly and eat, and didn't notice the sorrow in the eyes of his father and mother. caused his father to be laid off, so his father decided to go to the south with his fellow villagers, but he never came back, and his mother went because he missed his father and became ill, so Meng Qingshan, who was watching from the sidelines, wanted to tell his father not to go to the south, no matter what Meng Qingshan said, the dream still happened, and the dream turned again, that was when Meng Qingshan had just graduated from a junior college and entered the society, he had just joined the work and was full of spirit, and thought that he could make a home for himself by relying on his hard work. But the reality of the situation hit him hard, the salary was just enough for him to spend a month, and the money he saved every month was less than three digits. Soon it was a tour organized by the unit, to the place where the martyrs of the Seven Star Peak Anti-Japanese Federation sacrificed, Meng Qingshan tried to remind himself not to go, but things also happened, Meng Qingshan found that he was just a passerby, looking at his experience from childhood to adulthood, will this be the three-life stone in the underworld, when he saw his death from birth, he should be reincarnated!

The dream turned again, Meng Qingshan came to the time when he died, he was floating in the sky, and saw that the originally glorious Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army was seized by the Japanese Kwantung Army because of his sudden departure, and the Japanese Kwantung Army seized the opportunity to encircle and suppress the Anti-Japanese Federation in four ways, and the Anti-Japanese Federation had to be forced to defend in order to preserve its strength, and as a result, it was defeated by the Japanese army and retreated, and the guerrilla area in the North Manchurian region. The North Manchurian base area was gradually occupied by the Japanese army, and finally blocked the remnants of the Anti-United Nations to the Xingshan Fortress, after dozens of days of fierce fighting between the two sides, the Anti-United Nations fought to run out of ammunition and food, Meng Qingshan saw one old partner after another die in front of him, Meng Qingshan regretted it very much, it was his own carelessness that caused the successful assassination by the Japanese puppet spies, it didn't matter if he died, the anti-United Nations, which had been developed with great difficulty, once again changed back to the original state, so he blamed himself, and soon Meng Qingshan saw his wife Keiko Murai and a pair of his own children, As well as the chief of staff Liu Yalou, the commander-in-chief Zhou Bao and others were captured by the Japanese army and sent to the execution ground, when they saw that they were about to be executed, Meng Qingshan rushed to the executioner and shouted: "Don't, don't!" ”
