In the headquarters of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army in Wudan City, Gu Shoufu was anxiously directing the battle of the Xilamulun River defense line, and the garbage-like 4th Division could make him miserable, if it weren't for these Osaka vegetable sellers who threw away their scripture sheds, he wouldn't have been so passive at all.

These cowards, these disgraces of the imperial army, more than a thousand people surrendered, more than four hundred were captured, how did they not die? Now the entire Kwantung Army cannot raise its head.

Of course, now is not the time to scold them, on the contrary, we must try to put on a smiling face and urge Jianchuan Miji to hurry up and come to reinforcements, otherwise the Sixth Division may be more than lucky, his division is actually not satisfied, and the bandit suppression operation in Changbai Mountain has lost thousands of veterans, and it has not yet been replenished.

Coupled with the fact that they have been fighting non-stop for a whole year since last year, from Changbai Mountain to Rehe, the soldiers are already extremely tired, and they also have to face the 29th Army, which is the most feared, it is difficult not to worry Gu Shoufu in this situation.

"Where is the Fourth Division?" Gu Shoufu, who had not slept all night, asked the chief of staff with bloodshot eyes.

"I just got the news that they had been attacked on the road on a large scale, so it will take at least two days to arrive." The chief of staff said cautiously.

"Yaga!" Gu Shoufu was so angry that he slapped the table with a slap, he also knew that these cowards were attacked, it was nothing more than the black guns of the snipers, and he didn't know where these snipers came from, not only the marksmanship was extremely accurate and very good at concealment, but what was even more despicable was that they never killed people, they were all seriously injured who could not die at the time but would definitely die in the future, so that the rescue must waste manpower and material resources to rescue.

Although this is indeed annoying, it is definitely not a reason to affect the speed of the 4th Division, and it is ridiculous to hold more than 10,000 people back in less than a hundred serious injuries, these guys are purely stalling for time.

"It is said that before the arrival of the Fourth Division, hundreds of people from the Eighth Wing suddenly fell ill and were hospitalized." The chief of staff gave him a slight irritation.

Gu Shoufu was so angry that he trembled all over. He couldn't find enough vicious words to curse these guys.

Just then a staff officer stumbled in, panting, frightened, and looking unbeaten.

"Yaga! What are you panicking about? Do you still look like an imperial samurai? Gu Shoufu roared angrily.

The staff officer hurriedly stood up and saluted, and then said with a white face: "Report to the general, Lin Dong is in a hurry!" ”

"Nani?" Gu Shoufu was stunned for a moment.

"Cavalry. A large number of cavalry, uncountable, scattered all over the mountains, at least more than 20,000, and at least half of them used automatic rifles! The staff officer said.

Gu Shoufu's face changed drastically, everyone knows what this means, there is only one cavalry in the whole world with such equipment, Zhao Dengyu, who was called the king of the steppe wolf by the Japanese newspapers, killed the cavalry division of the 29th Army of Major General Inaba Shiro.

"What are they going to do?" The chief of staff looked at the map and said suspiciously.

"Attack the Tianshan Mountain. Kailu, then go south to Chifeng, and immediately send a report to the headquarters! Gu Shoufu said with a sneer.

This matter is not a headache for me, so let's leave it to Commander Ueda to decide!

"So does Lin Dong have reinforcements?" After the chief of staff finished speaking, he realized that he had asked a very stupid question, what to take for reinforcements, and he was worried that there was no one to reinforce him!

Gu Shoufu sighed sadly, Lin Dong's defenders could only let their jade shatter.

In fact, at this time, they were already broken, what could a disgruntled brigade use to stop 20,000 cavalry? And also cavalry armed with heavy artillery. Shortly after they sent a distress telegram, the brigade headquarters was blown into rubble by a 150-mm mortar shell.

He Zhuguo, who captured Lin Dong, did not stop. There was not even time to clear the battlefield, and the huge cavalry team guarded the convoy in the middle, rushing up the road to Kailu like a rushing flood.

At the same time, Ueda Kenkichi also received a telegram from Gu Shoufu, and he immediately made the same judgment, but the problem was that he also had no troops to adjust, so he could only give orders to Zhang Haipeng in Rehe. Let him gather all the puppet troops under him and rush to the north of Chifeng to set up defenses.

In addition, a report was sent to China, requesting that the 11th Division be transferred as soon as possible, directly land at Huludao, and then replenish the Rehe battlefield.

At the same time as the Japanese army was tense and mobilized, the 20,000 cavalry commanded by He Zhuguo took only three days to kill Kailu. Because of a mistake in judgment, Ueda Kenkichi ordered the defenders of Tongliao and the 10,000 puppet troops urgently transferred from the surrounding area to go out to Kailu to block them, so as to block them in Kailu and leave enough time for Zhang Haipeng to arrange the defense on the southern front.

A big battle took place on the banks of the Xilamulun River, which was cut off during the dry season, but it quickly turned into a joke.

"Bastard, what are they doing?" The Japanese captain Kobayashi held up the binoculars and roared angrily, the puppet army who fought side by side with him, at the first moment when they saw the cavalry all over the mountains, almost all the puppet troops invariably chose to turn around and flee.

"You cowards!" Captain Kobayashi roared angrily, then pulled out his saber with a look of absoluteness, looked at the less than a thousand soldiers around him with white faces, and shouted: "The Imperial Army of the Great Japanese Empire ......"

Before he finished speaking, a series of large-caliber bullets drilled into his body, and then the Japanese soldiers around him, seeing their captain, fall backwards from the middle like a broken corn stalk.

Immediately after that, in the middle of the cavalry in the distance, a tall truck came out, and the muzzle of a double-barreled anti-aircraft gun on the vehicle was pressed down, and the dense shells smashed into the Japanese position like hail.

This was a very unfair battle, the defense line formed by the Japanese-Manchurian coalition forces that Ueda Kenkichi had high hopes for, it only took less than half an hour to collapse, and an independent garrison brigade was completely annihilated, this result made Ueda very helpless, but that's all he could do, and the rest could only look at Zhang Haipeng.

Commander Ueda, who had a gray mustache, looked at the large military map in front of him with sharp eyes, and the vast land of Manchuria was in full view, as the actual ruler of this land, he was still somewhat emotional, the situation was getting more and more complicated, the people in this land were becoming more and more unfriendly, and there were no more imperial friends like Zhang Hanqing.

Zhang Haipeng will definitely not be able to stop this cavalry, and the tragedy that happened in Kailu will definitely be repeated, and now he can only hope that the 11th Division will arrive as soon as possible, and as long as there is one more division, he will be able to turn the tide.

"Your Excellency, Commander, the enemy army is attacking Tongliao!" The chief of staff who just put down the phone. The somewhat panicked shout brought him to his senses at once.

"What did you say?" Ueda Kenkichi was stunned for a moment.

"Bastard, they're coming to fight Shenyang!" Immediately after that, the commander's roar sounded in the Kwantung Army headquarters.

At this moment, the northeast was in chaos, from Tongliao to Shenyang, it was only 300 kilometers away from the sky, and the cavalry ran faster and five days was enough to fight. The harsh reality has made Ueda Kenyoshi's head bigger, and he doesn't have any mobile forces in his hands at all now.

At present, the Japanese army in Northeast China consists of the 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 8th, and 5th divisions, and the 1st and 11th independent mixed brigades. The 1st and 3rd cavalry brigades, of which the 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 84th divisions were all in Rehe, the 5th and 11th mixed brigades and the 19th division of the Korean Army were in Changbai Mountain, and the first was left. The 3rd Cavalry Brigade was in Heihe and Jiamusi, and the 1st Mixed Brigade was in Manchuria. None of this can be moved, after all, it is not only the Chinese who he has to guard against, but Comrade Joseph is not a good bird.

Originally, there was also a 4th Cavalry Brigade as a maneuver, but because of the great losses of this brigade, the soldiers were about to change in two, and even the brigade commander died in Chahar. So I had to go back to China to rest.

The only thing Ueda could count on now was the 11th Division, which had already begun to board the ship, but it would take about three days to get from Japan to Tohoku, and the port would be delayed a little longer. It is estimated that even if they come, the enemy will hit the city of Shenyang.

Now there is also a life-saving straw is the 20th Division of North Korea, although the distance is not close, but fortunately, the train is faster than the ship, and there are also the Marines in Lushunkou, but these two troops are not under his control, especially the Marines, they are not even under the control of the army, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the Lushun Town Guard, and now the relationship between the navy and the army is very tense because of the 226 mutiny, and Ueda Kenkichi does not want to ask the navy for help, and in terms of the combat effectiveness of their wing, Ueda is also more despised.

"Immediately send a telegram to His Excellency Xiao Iso, explain to him the danger facing Shenyang, and hope that he can transfer the 20th Division to temporarily come to relieve the urgent need.

In addition, all the independent garrison brigades from various localities were transferred to defend Shenyang, and all the overseas Chinese near Shenyang, including those working in the Fushun Coal Mine and the Anshan Iron Mine, were armed and deployed on the east bank of the Juliu River. Ueda Kenkichi quickly responded, but this is only better than nothing, there are not a few independent garrison brigades, plus to protect the railway, it is estimated that a wing can be put together, as for the combat effectiveness of the armed expatriates, it can only be left to fate, fortunately there is a wing in his hands, and then put together the non-combatants of the headquarters, it is estimated that there will be almost a wing, so that there is also a division in the patchwork, as long as it can hold on for two days, wait for reinforcements from all walks of life to arrive, It is estimated that this group of arrogant enemy troops will not be able to run if they want to.

"A group of arrogant people, do you really think that 20,000 cavalry can take Shenyang?" Commander Ueda quickly regained his confidence and said with a sneer.

But it didn't take long for him to sneer, and the explosions that had been silent for several days began again, and almost all the major bridges on the three railways of Nanman, Shenhai, and Sitao were bombed overnight, and Commander Ueda, who was woken up from his sleep at midnight, was so worried that his hair was straight, and it was a devastating feeling, and he really couldn't imagine where these attackers came from.

Latent infiltration can be understood, but who can infiltrate with tons of black sorkin, large-caliber mortars? The Imperial Army was a fool, he didn't know that these attackers came empty-handed in disguise as good citizens, and then more than a dozen transport planes in the sky airdropped everything they needed.

Just when Ueda Kenkichi was about to collapse due to the explosion, two thousand meters above Andong, Yang Feng was holding a night-vision binocular, carefully looking at the Yalu River Bridge across the river, and the lights of the train were approaching the bridge.

It's too far away from Duolun Airport for Aunt Juncker to fly, and his other planes stay at Nanyuan Airport in order to show their innocence, so Boss Yang had to personally bomb the Yalu River Bridge, and his plane is now loaded with more than 30 250-kilogram aerial bombs.

It's waiting for the train down there to get up to the bridge! On this train, there were two brigades of the 20th Division, but Yang Feng didn't know this, and when all the trains were on the bridge, more than 30 heavy bombs lined up in a straight diagonal line and smashed on the bridge deck at intervals of ten meters, and the entire bridge was torn apart like a building block that had been kicked in. The hapless train plunged headlong into the river at a speed of eighty kilometers.

Ueda Kenkichi was about to go crazy, and the news that the Yalu River Bridge had been blown up, and the two brigades of the 20th Division, which had been reinforced, had drowned in the river cut off his last hope.

He felt that there was an invisible black hand now, which was clenching his throat little by little, and the feeling of suffocation was getting stronger and stronger. Although he could guess who the owner of the black hand was, he was helpless, the guy hid himself in a hard turtle shell and was smirking at himself.

Although in the most prosperous city in the northeast, although he commanded an army of more than 100,000 people, Commander Ueda now felt extremely lonely, 20,000 enemy troops were rushing towards Shenyang at a speed of 80 kilometers a day, but he could only watch them approach here, and all reinforcements were blocked by these elusive attackers. After the railway was paralyzed, it was impossible for those reinforcements who were thousands of miles away to arrive in ten days.

The only thing he can rely on now is domestic reinforcements.

"Your Excellency, Commander, why don't we blow up the Juliu River Bridge?" The chief of staff said cautiously, and he himself knew very well that with a wing and a few thousand cobbled together rabble in Shenyang, it would be difficult to resist 20,000 elite cavalry. Blowing up the Liaohe Bridge can still stop them somewhat.

"Wait! If it really doesn't work, blow it up! Ueda Kenkichi said silently, with a hint of loneliness on his old face. It's too embarrassing to blow up the bridge, you can't do it until the last moment, and the impact of blowing up this bridge is too great, this is the throat of the Jingbong Railway, and there are too many interests involved, and he is not the attacker who destroys as much as he wants. Anyway, the official identity of the Northeast Liberation Army is a bandit, and since it is a bandit, it is natural that it can be careless, but the Kwantung Army is not so free.

Besides, blowing up the bridge is actually a better move than nothing, and now the Liao River is still in the dry season, counting on this 100-meter-wide river surface to block the enemy. It's a bit too unrealistic.

Just when He Zhuguo led 20,000 cavalry to run wildly along the highway from Tongliao to Xinmin, the Japanese army in Shenyang also began to deploy defenses on the east bank of the Juliu River, this patchwork team totaled more than 10,000 points, most of which had low combat effectiveness, and what could really fight was a wing, and the remaining miners, small businessmen, small staff, civilian staff officers, and even some officers' families, and little boys who had not yet had high guns were all on the battlefield.

Ueda Kenkichi didn't dare to use the puppet army now, he simply drove all the puppet army to the west bank of the Juliu River to deploy, saving them from hitting their own black guns behind their backs, saying that it was armed, but in fact, it was out of sight to be clean, why do you like to go!

This guy even drove all the Chinese with weapons in Shenyang City to the west bank of the Juliu River, and then equipped the remaining Japanese old and sick with weapons, so that they could stay in Shenyang, or watch the people in the city.

Just when Ueda Kenkichi remembered the Juliu River Bridge, Yang Feng, who had just returned to Beiping, also remembered that he didn't want to repeat the tragedy of Guo Guizi and Liao Yaoxiang.

"The Mighty River Bridge? It was the dry season, and the cavalry could wade across the river. "Sun Liren is a little inexplicable, they have already considered this problem, even if the Japanese blow up the Juliu River Bridge, they will not be able to stop the cavalry from advancing, the only thing that can be affected is the mechanized support detachment, but they have already hit Xinmin, and it is not a big deal if the security is not guaranteed.

The Japanese army will definitely be the same as Zhang Zuolin's practice when Guo Songling rebelled against Feng, deploying defenses on the east bank of the Juliu River, as long as heavy artillery is used on the west bank to open this defense line, 20,000 cavalry said that it is not an exaggeration to say that the whip is broken, Guo Devil was killed by the real devil back then, and there is no one to help him now.

"Just in case, I mean, shouldn't we send someone to occupy it in advance? You see, there is basically no need to think about Japanese planes now, unless they drive aircraft carriers to Liaodong Bay, they don't expect to be able to threaten the men and horses of He Zhuguo.

Of course, if they are willing to do that, I would welcome that. Yang Feng said, of course he welcomes it, and bombing troop carriers with mines is more enjoyable than bombing aircraft carriers.

"Therefore, our mechanized detachment can completely pull out a part of the trucks, load a regiment and kill it first, and at their speed, they can arrive this afternoon at the most, and now order the Junkers of Duolun to load an advance force, immediately parachute to Xinmin and then seize the Juliu River Bridge." Yang Feng said with some pride.

This idea mainly originated from a World War II movie he watched before, although the movie had a bleak ending for the Yankees, but this did not prevent the rationality of this plan, with the capacity of Aunt Juncker, fifteen planes can be airdropped one and a half companies, which is enough to control the Mighty River Bridge.

"The mechanized detachment should go forward, not only to bring the infantry, but also to bring the 130 mm cannon, the Shenyang Arsenal can produce 150 mm howitzers, it is not ruled out that the Japanese army will use them for combat, from the 29th Army to pick an elite regiment to take the cannon over by truck, first use heavy artillery to protect the bridge, as long as it can hold out until tomorrow afternoon, He Zhuguo can arrive with the main force.

But there is no need for airdrops, it doesn't make much sense for people to airdrop them, and it will put them in danger, if you really want to play airborne operations, then it is better to transfer a group of special forces, and then directly airdrop them to Shenyang, it is best to find a few local ones in Shenyang, and then they will incite the people to rebel in the city. Sun Liren said.

This method is very good, Yang Feng's eyes lit up all of a sudden, saying that he engaged in airborne operations, purely just thinking about hiding, this kind of airborne landing is obviously more enjoyable than capturing the bridge. (To be continued......)
