Although the Japanese army only fought a verbal war with the Anti-Japanese Federation, the Japanese army's determination to retaliate against the Anti-United Nations did not decrease in any way. A plan elaborated by the headquarters of the Japanese Kwantung Army on the encirclement and suppression of the Anti-Japanese Federation in the spring is slowly being implemented. Under the orders of General Umezu Yoshijiro, the headquarters of the Japanese Kwantung Army, field troops were transferred from the field divisions and regiments in various jurisdictions to Jiamusi, Qiqihar, Harbin, and other places to assemble.

At the same time, in order to completely eliminate the anti-coalition forces this time, General Umezu Mijiro, who is the commander-in-chief of the Japanese Kwantung Army, specially sent a tank wing. More than 100 tanks are slowly assembling in Harbin, Qiqihar and other places under the transportation of the railway.

Of course, every move of the Japanese army did not escape the pervasive underground party intelligence organization of the Chinese Communist Party. With the mobilization of the main forces of the Japanese army, the information was also transmitted to Meng Qingshan through the transfer station.

"Chief of Staff, judging from the current situation, the Japanese army has gathered more than two divisions and regiments to encircle and suppress us in three ways, and it is also equipped with a wing of tank troops, and the next anti-encirclement and suppression operation is related to the life and death of our anti-alliance!" Looking at the telegram in his hand, Meng Qingshan muttered to himself.

"That's right, isn't Umezu Mijiro crazy, with so many troops drawn from all over the country, aren't they afraid of a surprise attack from the Jiangbei side? You must know that they just had a big war not long ago, where did they get these troops, we only have less than tens of thousands of troops, as for it? Chief of Staff Liu Yalou said with a frown.

"Chief of Staff, you are underestimating our Anti-United Nations, since the formation of the Anti-United Nations Command began to go to the battlefield. During this period, more than a dozen battles were fought, large and small. Moreover, these dozen battles do not include some small battles fought by the five military subdivisions. Calculate how many Japanese Kwantung Army we have annihilated in these battles. Hehe, there is at least one division, I think both divisions are missing, and I estimate that the Japanese army will increase its troops. They want to wipe us out in one fell swoop. Meng Qingshan said self-deprecatingly.

"Annihilate our Anti-Alliance, I'm afraid he doesn't have this appetite. Commander in chief. Do you already have any good attention to deal with the heavy encirclement and suppression of the Japanese army, and tell me in advance, so that I don't have to worry every day," the chief of staff asked rhetorically.

"Lao Liu, the enemy's three-way army exceeds the strength of two divisions, that's not a joke, with strength, even if we all add up to the anti-alliance, we can't resist hard. But I was wondering how much food their division would have to eat in a day. How much ammunition is consumed, so I think it is better to start from the enemy's supply line and send a few small detachments to fight the transport lines of the little devils. Secondly, on the one hand, you and Lao Yang will lead the troops to drag them in circles with them in the base area, and on the other hand, I will lead the team to break through all the way and let them come back for reinforcements, and my target is here. ”

"What Qiqihar, commander-in-chief, are you crazy. Qiqihar was the headquarters of the Japanese army in North Manchuria. Let's not talk about the city defense, even the garrison of Qiqihar is enough for us to drink a pot of anti-alliance, you don't have a fever, right" Liu Yalou looked at Qiqihar City that Meng Qingshan was referring to, and couldn't help but exclaim.

"Chief of Staff, that's what you think. Not to mention Umezu Mijiro of the Japanese Kwantung Army? I just want to surprise him this time, take him by surprise, and then quickly withdraw the army, isn't the little devil looking for the main force of our anti-Japanese alliance. Then let them go to Qiqihar to find it. When the main force of the little devil surrounds him, let's give him another golden cicada to take out of the shell. Let the little devils toss it well! Meng Qingshan said confidently.

"Commander-in-Chief, I've really convinced you. Such a bold attention, you dare to think. However, in any case, I, as the chief of staff, will definitely support you unconditionally. Liu Yalou supported.

"Thank you Lao Liu, this is just an idea of mine, and we have to sum it up together to implement it, in fact, I also want to fight the other two, but Harbin is the place with the most Japanese garrisons, Jiamusi is too close to the Japanese fortress station, once the battle is launched, the Japanese army will immediately mobilize reinforcements to arrive, I thought about it and thought that only this Qiqihar City is a soft bone."

"Commander-in-chief, although Qiqihar City is a soft bone of the Japanese army, first we hit many times, and then we attacked the airfield, now the Japanese Kwantung Army Command deliberately transferred nearly a division of troops to garrison, now according to the existing intelligence estimates that the Japanese Qiqihar is a garrison of about 20,000 people, this attack is the main force, will definitely transfer a large part of the troops, but it is very sure that at least one wing of troops will be left to defend, want to break through in the shortest possible time, with our current conditions, it is difficult to complete."

"Hehe, Chief of Staff, don't worry too much, I will be measured, you must know that the last time the political commissar was evacuated in the secret passage of Qiqihar City, as long as you find this secret passage, Qiqihar will ......." Looking at Liu Yalou, who was full of worry, Meng Qingshan comforted.

"Commander-in-chief, what are you talking about, say it quickly!" Liu Yalou asked anxiously.

"The Buddha said that he could not say." Meng Qingshan shook his head and said.

“”

While Meng Qingshan and Liu Yalou were discussing the response to the Japanese army's counter-encirclement and suppression, Yamashita Fengwu, commander of the Japanese Qiqihar garrison, was listening to the report of the chief of staff on the preparations of various units in the combat deployment of the Japanese Kwantung Army's headquarters to encircle and suppress the Chinese Anti-Japanese Alliance.

"Yo Xi, Chief of Staff. This time, the headquarters organized a total of nearly 60,000 troops in three divisions and regiments, and I believe that with such a strong mobilization of troops this time, we will definitely eliminate the henchmen of this imperial army. Listening to the chief of staff's report, Yamashita nodded.

"Hi, Your Excellency Commander, this time the headquarters sent about three divisions and regiments, including eight infantry wings, three artillery wings, three baggage wings, plus engineers, etc., totaling more than 58,000 people. In addition, there was also a tank wing specially sent by General Yoshijiro Umezu from the front line, and more than 100 tanks participated in our encirclement and suppression operation. I think that this time we will definitely annihilate the anti-coalition forces in China and avenge the imperial warriors who are broken in the anti-coalition. Chief of Staff Shanshan Yuan complimented.

"Yo Xi, Chief of Staff, this time I will personally lead the troops to directly command the encirclement and suppression operations against the United Command, and completely annihilate the great trouble of the Empire, the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army." Yamashita Fengwu said confidently.

"Hi Your Excellency, Commander. However, we have withdrawn a wing of troops from Qiqihar to join the attacking force, and now there is less than one wing of garrison left in the entire Qiqihar. I'm afraid that Your Excellency, Commander, will I transfer a wing of troops from the front line to join the defense of Qiqihar. The chief of staff said with a worried face.

"Chief of Staff of Baga, do you think that at this time, you can still break out of the siege under the siege of the Imperial Army. Not to mention the heavy losses they suffered in the last battle with the 29th Division, and in less than three months, they could not recover their combat effectiveness at all. More importantly, we have a division on the front line, these elite Imperial Army soldiers are not vegetarians, and the two armies of Harbin and Jiamusi are attacking at the same time as us.

You must remember that the forces on the front line must not be withdrawn. I think that one wing of elite imperial troops to defend the city is enough, please rest assured by this. It's just that during the period when I was commanding operations at the front, the chief of staff was asked to bother more about the affairs of the headquarters for the time being, and if there was anything important, he sent me a telegram directly. Yamashita ordered with Taketake's affirmation.

"Hey, please rest assured, Your Excellency, I..." At this time, Meng Qingshan didn't know that there was an important person living in Qiqihar City that he wanted to capture, that is, Major General Shanshanyuan, chief of staff of the Qiqihar City Garrison Headquarters of the Japanese Kwantung Army, which made Meng Qingshan's name famous again throughout the country, and Meng Qingshan also had an additional nickname, General Killer.
