The 8th Infantry Brigade and the 33rd Infantry Brigade were attacked by the opponent with all their might, and the 9th and 2nd Divisions on both flanks could be reinforced in a short time. In particular, the armored units of a wing of the 2nd Division. Rapid reinforcements can be carried out at the first opportunity.

It's a pity that now the Ninth Division and the Second Division have been firmly blocked by the troops of the Anti-United Nations, and it is too late to rescue the two brigades, and the troops of more than 10 regiments of the Anti-Japanese Federation of tens of thousands of people have firmly besieged their two brigades on the front line of Keshan, according to the battle report from the front, Keshan is already in danger, and they can only rely on themselves to rescue them, but at present, Qiqihar can mobilize not many troops, and now it is expected that Major General Kotaro Miura and Major General Fujii Shigero can hold on until the arrival of reinforcements, At the same time, I hope that Anandkang's battle plan will be successful.

Thinking of this, Tada Jun realized that it was difficult for him to tell clearly the information at hand, how much of it was true and effective? What means did the other side take to make the supposedly pervasive Kwantung Army intelligence department, once again damn malfunction. So far, I haven't been able to come up with a single piece of real and reliable information.

Even the most basic information about the enemy's strength has been so seriously misguided. The intelligence department of the Kwantung Army, which is dignified, has not yet ascertained the true strength of the opponent. The opponent suddenly appeared so many troops and new heavy artillery, armored units, without the slightest notice. So that Tada Jun almost lost all confidence in the information at hand.

The situation was far worse than he expected, which made Tada Jun lose his previous calm and steady. Completely enraged, he slammed his fist on the map: "Cunning Meng Qingshan, damn the intelligence department." That cunning guy. I don't care where you get these troops from, sooner or later. I'm going to cut off your head with my own hands. ”

Although there is always no guess about the troops that suddenly appeared in the Anti-Union, but for the thousands of imperial soldiers who were surrounded. In fact, according to Tada Jun's idea, he used several thousand Japanese troops as bait to counter-encircle the main force of the Anti-United Nations, but the current situation was completely different from what he thought, and he thought that the well-armed 8th Infantry Brigade and the 33rd Infantry Brigade with heavy artillery wings and armored troops could resist the attack of the Anti-United Nations and contain them, but they could not be contacted yesterday. This worries him.

The Kwantung Army Command and even the Tokyo base camp have repeatedly stressed that the current front line of confrontation with the Anti-United Nations is a high-voltage line, and the Anti-Japanese Union must not be allowed to break through this line of defense and let them continue to expand the scope of their activities.

If we do not change the situation of the trapped troops as soon as possible, and let thousands of soldiers be wiped out by the Anti-Japanese Alliance, not only the Tokyo base camp will not be able to explain itself. The entire Longjiang Province will become a guerrilla zone of the Anti-Japanese Federation, and this time the encirclement and suppression plan failed because of his own negligence, so no one can protect him, so he urged the commander of the 63rd Wing, Furong Zhenpei, to rush to Keshan quickly. While asking for help from the Kwantung Army Command

"Report to the commander, call from headquarters." Just when Li Zhaolin, the commander of the Fifth Division, and Feng Zhongyun, the political commissar, were discussing the current battle situation. The communications staff officer holds a telegram. hurriedly came to the two of them and said.

"Lao Li, I guess it must be the commander-in-chief who gave us a combat mission, the main force is fighting, and we are here as guards, all of whom are in a hurry. Reading" After listening to the words of the communications staff officer, political commissar Feng Zhongyun said excitedly.

"Yes. Commander, Political Commissar: The headquarters ordered Commander Li Zhaolin to lead all the main forces of the division to block the Japanese reinforcements, and not let the Japanese reinforcements and the trapped Japanese troops converge. In addition, the Japanese reinforcements, in addition to the 63rd Infantry Wing, also have a division of the Jing'an Army, carrying a small number of heavy weapons, your unit can block the attack step by step, and there will be a turnaround at that time.

Political Commissar Feng Zhongyun was ordered to lead at least one regiment of troops to move back behind the Japanese reinforcements. Organize all the militia, local troops along the way. After the Japanese troops have passed through their respective defense areas, it is necessary to destroy all roads again. Completely block the passage for the retreat of Japanese reinforcements.

Political Commissar Meng Qingshan, Commander-in-Chief: Zhou Baozhong: "After the communications staff officer finished reading the telegram in his hand, he put the telegram on the table in front of him. ”

"Lao Feng, do you hear clearly, if you don't come, you will come, one is a big job, the commander-in-chief not only wants to eat the enemy of Keshan, but also eats the reinforcements of the little devil" After listening to the content of the telegram, the commander Li Zhaolin, who knew Meng Qingshan very well, opened his mouth and said in disbelief.

"Hehe, Lao Li, in fact, there is nothing. When we received the battle report from the front, I said that our main force could end the battle as early as a day ago, but the battle had been fought for three days and had not yet been fought, so I guessed that there must be something wrong here. It seems that the commander-in-chief and the chief of staff have already designed to attract reinforcements from the Japanese army with the enemy of Keshan, hehe, the main force of the 10th Division has been eliminated, and the reinforcements will be dumplings by us, then Qiqihar will become an empty shelf. Political Commissar Feng Zhongyun said with a smile.

"Who made the little devil of Tada Jun think that we are soft persimmons, and the lonely army is deep, he doesn't know that now in Longjiang Province, except for the provincial capital of Qiqihar, the rest are the guerrilla areas of our Anti-Japanese Federation, this time I don't hurt them, I have the same surname as him, but to fight Qiqihar This time we are the closest, we should be sent to, you must know that Tada Jun's old boy has put a lot of materials in Qiqihartun, these days the train is transported from Harbin to Qiqihar several times a day, if it is not for the main force to fight, I want to beat him, Qiqihar is a big fat sheep now. ”

"Lao Li, don't think about beautiful things, the task assigned to us by the headquarters is not easy! With nearly 3,000 little devil infantry, plus a Jing'an military division, the burden on us is not light. When the time comes, if you don't arrange it properly, you will be in good hands. However, the telegram said that there would be a turnaround, and I could guess that there would definitely be some plan here, and maybe the Jing'an division was not fighting us, but helping us. But I have my assignment and I have to do it next time. Political Commissar Feng Zhongyun reminded.

"Lao Feng, don't worry, I'll pay attention. You also have to pay attention to safety, don't always run on the front line, your body is not good. In this case, let's discuss the specific forces to be dispatched. Commander Li Zhaolin nodded and said.

"Lao Li, my opinion is this: I take Wang Ruqi's 10th regiment and bring the guard battalion of the division. Also, bring a company of the artillery battalion to facilitate the troops' reconnaissance of the enemy. You take the main forces of the four regiments of our division, the artillery battalion and the cavalry battalion directly under the division. If you add some local troops, you can get 6,000 troops. Political Commissar Feng Zhongyun suggested.

"Okay, agreed, the task is urgent, we will now start to seize the time to transfer troops, and after lunch today, the troops will be able to set off on time" After listening to the political commissar's suggestion, Li Zhaolin knew that now was not the time to postpone. So he readily agreed, and at the same time set a time for sending troops.
