With the exact dispatch time of the Northeast Field Army, the commander, General Umezu Mijiro, and the chief of staff began to discuss the specific troop transfer plan around a huge combat sand table in the war room. In less than two days, a large number of troops of the Kwantung Army and the Manchurian Army stationed in various counties and towns in the three northeastern provinces began to assemble rapidly and drove towards the battlefield scheduled by their headquarters...

In less than a week, in addition to the transfer of one army to the forward position, the entire three northeastern provinces, almost every county town, and stronghold of the army began to carry out large-scale mobilization. For a time, the entire three northeastern provinces became chaotic because of the transfer of a large number of troops and Manchurian troops. At the same time, because of a large number of changes and transfers of troops, one defense hole after another also appeared in front of the Northeast Field Army....

"Commander, Commander, good news, good news. As soon as the intelligence officers lurking in the three northeastern provinces sent a telegram, hundreds of thousands of Kwantung Army troops and a large number of Manchurian Army troops began to carry out large-scale changes and transfers. At least one army and two main divisions, with a total of more than 100,000 little devils and more than 100,000 Manchurian troops, are rapidly moving towards the Shanhaiguan line. The entire three northeastern provinces have become panicked because of the large-scale mobilization of the army... It seems that the false information we have painstakingly sent out has now begun to work...."As soon as the Kwantung Army began to move, Chief of Staff Li Qing took the telegram he had just received and rushed into the war room of the headquarters with an excited face....

"Okay, after a lot of effort, the little devil has finally taken the bait, and it seems that we should start acting. Immediately send a report to the intelligence officers who have infiltrated the three northeastern provinces in advance. Let them send all the three northeastern provinces and the latest enemy situation in the shortest possible time. Lao Li, you also have an important task, that is, according to the results sent back by our intelligence officers, mark all the current military deployment of the three northeastern provinces on the sand table in the war room. Let's strive to find a safe passage in the shortest possible time that allows the advance detachment to smoothly advance into the three northeastern provinces..."After a short period of excitement, Liu Hua immediately ordered loudly to Li Qing, the chief of staff in front of him, who was also excited.

"Yes, Commander, I'm going to arrange and send a telegram to our intelligence officers..." In this way, in less than two days, the defensive strength of the puppet army in hundreds of counties and towns in the three northeastern provinces was all marked on a huge combat sand table in the headquarters. The specific military deployment of the entire three northeastern provinces, the more than one million Kwantung Army and the Manchurian Army appeared clearly in the eyes of Liu Hua and Luo Ronghuan..."Good job... I really didn't expect that now in the entire three northeastern provinces, hundreds of thousands of puppet armies, will be turned around by our words... Judging from the current situation, it will take at least a month and a half for the enemy to truly stabilize the chaotic situation caused by the large-scale transfer of troops and defenses. However, at that time, no matter how perfect the ambush circle prepared for us by the little devil was, we would have already gotten into their stomachs and started to make trouble in the Heavenly Palace...."Looking at the chaotic distribution of enemy situations on the sand table, Liu Hua couldn't help but sneer and said....

"Commander, what do you mean...."Seeing the expression on the face of the commander Liu Hua in front of him, Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan asked puzzled..."Political Commissar, Chief of Staff, look. At present, hundreds of thousands of Kwantung Army troops and a large number of Manchurian Army troops are being transferred in two directions. One is to move towards the Shanhaiguan defensive line, which accounts for more than half of the total force. Needless to say, everyone knows that it must be for our hundreds of thousands of Northeast Field Army. As for the other part, it is to assemble in the area of Mengshan County, Changbai Mountain, and the target of this group of enemies, without accident, must be the anti-United Nations forces that have been compressed into the area of Changbai Mountain....and our anti-Japanese advance detachment is exactly going to the area of Changbai Mountain, where the anti-Japanese alliance is located... Think about it, do we have a chance to catch the last train of the little devil's marching army, follow the little devil to the area of Changbai Mountain, and then unexpectedly meet with the Anti-Japanese Federation...."Liu Hua pointed to the huge combat sand table in front of him, and said affirmatively..."Good way, if this method really works, when the time comes, we can get into the rear of the little devil without blood, and converge with the Anti-Japanese Federation." Let all the preparations of the little devil in the past few months come to naught..."Under Liu Hua's explanation, the two of them reacted almost at the same time. Then, political commissar Luo Ronghuan replied with a look of surprise....

"It works, of course it works. Political commissar, chief of staff, don't forget that one of our advance detachments is our most elite special operations brigade. In the entire special operations brigade, among the more than 1,000 members, after the commemorative combat study, almost everyone can say a few simple words. What's more, there are almost 300 soldiers who can proficiently listen and listen to the language, and there are so many people who can speak the language here, what are we worried about? More importantly, among the troops who participated in the encirclement and suppression of Changbai Mountain with the Kwantung Army on their backs this time, there were still quite a few Manchurian troops....Therefore, when the time comes, our troops of several thousand people, one will play the role of the Kwantung Army troops, and the other will play the Manchurian army. Blending into the ranks of hundreds of thousands of puppet soldiers like this, it is like a drop in the ocean, and there is absolutely no problem..."Liu Hua said confidently..."In this way, commander, the feasible surname of this method is really big enough. It's just, which little devil army should we pretend to be? I think that before the splint force, we have to know the number of this unit and the place of belonging... These things are clear. At the same time, we must let this army evaporate in the world...."Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan nodded approvingly, and continued to remind....

"This is for sure, as the saying goes, only by knowing the other and knowing the other can we truly survive a hundred battles....However, in the end, which Kwantung Army unit to choose, this matter still needs our intelligence personnel lurking in the three northeastern provinces to continue to work hard....Chief of Staff, how about it, let our intelligence personnel in the three northeastern provinces work harder, and see if there are more than 4,000 troops among the various units drawn by the army, and these troops of more than 4,000 people are best to include a thousand people and a puppet army of more than 3,000 people, so that we can pretend to be 1Liu Hua nodded and ordered to the chief of staff in front of him....

"Yes, Commander, the Intelligence Service guarantees the completion of the mission. In the shortest possible time, find out one such army unit...."Chief of Staff Li Qing ordered with a confident face....

A week passed quickly, and in the midst of everyone's anxious waiting, a telegram from the three northeastern provinces finally reached the hands of Li Qing, the chief of staff. Seeing in his hand, two intelligence officers exchanged their lives for a letter of vital information. Chief of Staff Li Qing did not hesitate, immediately took the information, and quickly trotted all the way to the war room of the headquarters....

"Commander, commissar, good news, there is news in the Northeast, they have found this little devil army... This is our intelligence agency in the Northeast, and the two intelligence officers exchanged their lives for a piece of information, which will be very powerful for our next actions...."Just when Li Qing had not yet entered the war room. His excited voice had already drifted into the war room, in the ears of Liu Hua and Luo Ronghuan..."It's really hard work, a week has passed, and I finally look forward to this good news... Let's go, let's go to the sand table, let's talk again...."Seeing Li Qing, the chief of staff with an excited face in front of him, and looking at the information in Li Qing's hand, Liu Hua's eyes also flashed with a trace of excitement. Then, facing the two partners beside him, he ordered excitedly, and walked quickly to the location of the combat sand table....

"Commander, here it is. According to the information sent back by our intelligence officers, an infantry wing of the Chinese army stationed in Anshan was ordered to send the strength of an infantry brigade to attack and reinforce the troops of the Chinese army that were encircling and suppressing the anti-Japanese alliance. In addition, because of the large amount of iron ore resources stored in the Anshan area, the little devil also stationed two divisions of Manchurian Army troops here. At that time, there will be a Manchurian division, totaling more than 3,000 puppet troops, to attack together. This figure coincides with the specific strength of our advance detachment...."Chief of Staff Li Qing pointed to the location of Anshan on the map and said..."Great, it really didn't take much effort to get here. Now the ironworks in our base area are about to be completed, but the raw materials of iron ore have not been concretely solved. And at this time, the little devil gave Anshan to us... You see, at present, the Anti-Japanese Federation has been compressed by the army in the Changbai Mountain area in the area of Mengshan County. I believe that the Mengshan area is the last base of the Anti-Japanese Federation. Mengshan County, on the other hand, is less than 350 kilometers away from the Anshan area. More importantly, the Anshan area and Mengshan County are all mountainous areas, and they are contiguous mountainous areas, which are very beneficial to the future activities of our army... When the time comes, our two troops will join forces in one place, with Mengshan County as the center, and continue to expand the base area and encroach on the occupied area of the little devils. In the end, we will expand the base area to the Anshan area, and bring this huge iron mine into the scope of our base area...."Looking at the Anshan area pointed out by Chief of Staff Li Qing, Liu Hua's eyes were almost about to burst out because of excitement, and he said excitedly....

"Commander, although your idea is very good, you can not only gain a firm foothold smoothly, but also occupy the Anshan area and get so many iron ore raw materials by the way. But how should we get from Taiyuan to Anshan? You must know that along the way, in addition to the heavy troops deployed by the North China Army in the Pingjin area. There is also Shanhaiguan, the world's first male pass, in front of us..."Different from Liu Hua's expression, political commissar Luo Ronghuan shook his head and said with a wry smile.

"Political commissar, you are a noble man who forgets a lot. I don't know if you remember, when our reading division marched into the Pingjin area, we had already made a lot of preparations for today's advance to the Northeast. Even if the little devil is in the Pingjin area, no matter how many troops are deployed. The thousands of commanders and fighters of our advance detachment can also quietly drill through the impregnable defense line of the little devils. Chief of Staff, let's talk to the political commissar in detail, so that the political commissar can rest assured...."Regarding the worries of the two field divisions and political commissars arranged by the army in the Pingjin area, Liu Hua did not take it to heart, and said with a sneer..."Yes, commander. Commissar, the situation is like this. When the troops marched into Pingjin and our army retreated, the commander made certain arrangements for our actions today... In order for the troops to advance to the northeast, they can quickly pass through the enemy's defense area, and on the march, they can get all kinds of ammunition and supplies. At the beginning, the commander left behind the strength of a main regiment and a large amount of military supplies in the Pingjin area, allowing it to carry out guerrilla warfare with the little devils in the Pingjin area, and at the same time, in the mountains, open up a safe passage through the defense line of the army. If nothing else, the strength of this regiment, after nearly a year of development, has developed into a main brigade. As for the safe passage explained by the commander, after a year of development, these guerrillas have already succeeded in opening a secret communication line in the mountains. At that time, we will not be able to carry any heavy weapons along this secret communication line, successfully pass through the blockade line of the Japanese army, and reach the Shanhaiguan area..."

"Okay, Commander, I really didn't expect that you would actually lay such a foreshadowing in advance. I believe that with this brigade of guerrillas, hiding around the little devils. When the time comes, not only the advance detachment, but also the main force of the field army, with their cooperation, can easily pass through the Pingjin area, through the iron wall prepared for us by the army...."The political commissar, who reacted from the shock, replied with a look of surprise....

"Political commissar, these are all deployments that the commander has vision and made in advance. I didn't understand it very well at the beginning, but it was only now that I realized that the commander's insistence on leaving behind the strength of one regiment has played a huge role until now..."Chief of Staff Li Qing also replied with a smile on his face..."However, commander, even if we successfully pass through the Pingjin area, the blockade line arranged for us by the two field divisions of the Chinese army. However, there is still Shanhaiguan, the world's first Xiongguan, standing in front of us? After a brief moment of surprise, the commissar asked again with a worried face.

"Shanhaiguan? Hehe, with our special operations brigade here, are you still afraid of a small Shanhaiguan? Besides, this time, our advance detachment, carrying only infantry light weapons. At most, bring dozens of mortars for fire suppression. With these equipment, plus thousands of elite commanders and fighters, I don't believe that around Shanhaiguan, I can't find a mountain road to bypass it directly...."Liu Hua's face once again showed a confident smile, and he said with a look of disdain... Before the two political commissars and chiefs of staff could react, Liu Hua continued: "Chief of staff, have you figured out the specific time when the army will send troops in the Anshan area. If we want to use their equipment and numbers, we must first find a way to quietly annihilate this army, and not let go of any of them..."

"Report to the commander, because the area of the Anshan iron mine is too large. For the sake of the safety of the entire iron mine, more than 3,000 little devils in a company are all scattered. Therefore, if the army wants to send troops, it must first assemble the troops. According to the intelligence, it will take at least a week for the army to assemble all the troops responsible for sorties, plus the preparation of all kinds of baggage and materials, and they can set off in a maximum of ten days...."Under Liu Hua's gaze, Chief of Staff Li Qing replied affirmatively..."Ten days, let me think about it, from Taiyuan to Bazhou, it is all within the scope of our base area, we can take a truck, day and night, at most, we can complete this journey. As for the blockade line of the Yue army passing through the Pingjin area, with the assistance of a large number of guerrillas, coupled with the assistance of secret passages and the cover of the mountains, three days was enough time to get through. As for the remaining checkpoint, it is Shanhaiguan....I believe that we will spend five days, with the efforts of the special operations team, enough to find a safe passage, smoothly pass through Shanhaiguan, and enter the Anshan area before the little devils set off, find a suitable battlefield, and prepare to annihilate these puppet troops...."After a short period of contemplation, Liu Hua pointed to several county towns on the combat sand table and explained confidently....

"As long as the journey goes smoothly and there are no major accidents, there will be no doubt about the actions of our advance detachment this time... Commander, since you have made a decision, I, as the political commissar, will support you absolutely and unconditionally. How about it, when is the advance detachment ready to set off ...."Seeing the commander in front of him with a resolute face and already made up his mind in his heart. Political Commissar Luo Ronghua didn't say anything anymore, but said with a look of affirmative support..."Thank you for your support, I believe that this operation, the advance detachment will definitely bring surprises to all of you... Chief of Staff, you immediately give an order in the name of the headquarters to the three brigades of the advance detachment, and the three brigades will immediately assemble, secretly go to the logistics office to receive five base ammunition, and prepare for departure. Tomorrow we will rest for a day, and tomorrow night, we will take a truck, secretly set off from Taiyuan, and rush to the secret camp prepared for us by the Bazhou guerrillas..."Liu Hua nodded and ordered to the chief of staff in front of him...
