Haicheng, the location of the front-line headquarters of the Jilin Army, Wu Haoxuan personally sat here to command the battle. In the current war situation, the Jilin Army has the upper hand. However, Wu Haoxuan did not dare to relax at all. After all, the Japanese Army will also throw five more divisions into the war. This is undoubtedly a huge pressure on the Jilin Army.

Since the start of the war, the Jilin Army has been stretched to the extreme, like a full bow. If more force is applied, it is very likely to be completely broken.

However, Wu Haoxuan also knew that the Japanese could not hold on either. The casualties of the Japanese were much greater than those of the Jilin Army. At the same time, the Japanese are in even worse financial condition. These are the advantages of the Jilin Army, and as long as it persists and does not make major mistakes, it should have no problem winning this war.

At present, four infantry divisions of the Jilin Army are besieging the two remaining divisions of the Central Eastern Army, and it is foreseeable that the fighting here will soon be over. If there was no interference from external forces, these two divisions of the Japanese army would definitely be completely annihilated like the second division and the two divisions of the Korean army that were encircled and annihilated before. Of course, little Japan will definitely not let the Jilin Army succeed, and this does not need to be thought about to know. Therefore, Wu Haoxuan is also preventing small Japan's reinforcements from entering the battlefield.

Wu Haoxuan summoned the commanders of the 2nd Infantry Division, the 4th Infantry Division, the 5th Infantry Division, the 6th Infantry Division, and the 7th Infantry Division to open fire at Haicheng. At this moment, these infantry divisions are concentrated on the line from Liaoyang to Haicheng. In the battle of Longbow Ridge, these infantry divisions paid a certain amount of losses. However, the losses are not significant. After replenishing the recruits, they have all returned to full strength, and now they are seizing the time to run in.

"Young Marshal, the 6th and 8th Divisions of the Japanese Army are really tough. Our four infantry divisions have been gnawing for so long, and they have not been wiped out. Major General Zhao Xifu, commander of the 2nd Infantry Division, said.

"None of the divisions of the Japanese Army are easy to deal with. However, we have the upper hand in this battle. We also have time and Japanese consumption, and the first ones who can't support it must be them. Wu Haoxuan said very firmly.

The generals were all beaming with joy. At the beginning of the war, everyone had a deep fear of the Japanese Army. However, through this vicious battle, their concept has been completely reversed. Now they know that little Japan is not a big deal, except that everything is boasted. Coupled with the fear of foreigners, they are afraid of little Japan. But now? Little Japan is about to become their underdog. So what's there to worry about?

"Young Marshal, if I don't let this division join the siege of Qingshi Ridge, in this way, we can deal with them faster." Major General Ishi, commander of the 4th Infantry Division, proposed.

Several other division commanders also asked for battle, and they all hoped to get some more battles to fight. After all, if you go to war, you will get military merits, which is important for promotion after the war. But it is a very important assessment criterion.

Wu Haoxuan shook his head: "It is enough to deal with the Kwantung Army with four infantry divisions. You guys. There are even more important tasks. Don't forget, calculate the time, the reinforcements of Little Japan are about to arrive, and you still have a fierce battle to fight! ”

"Young marshal, I didn't say this, as long as Little Japan dares to come. Make sure they don't come back! The generals patted their heads on their chests and reassured.

"Young Marshal, when will the reinforcements from Little Japan come back? Where will it come from? Major General Zhao Xifu asked.

"It's not clear yet. What is certain, though, is that they are not far from being put into battle. This time, we're going to deal with it. But as many as five divisions of the Japanese army were reinforced. In the early days, we will even be at a disadvantage. However, as long as the Kwantung Army, which held out until the Japanese army was destroyed, we would be able to relax. ”

"Young Marshal, with the strength of the Japanese, even if one of our infantry divisions deals with one of their divisions, they will not necessarily lose. Although they have more troops, we have more firepower than theirs, and it is easier to defeat them if we were on the defensive. Major General Duan Tianwei, commander of the 7th Infantry Division, said. The battle of the Yalu River and the battle of Longbow Ridge gave him greater confidence.

"I believe that. However, we must not let this despise the Japanese. Otherwise, it will definitely pay for it. The Japanese were able to rise quickly and become a world power, and there was always a reason for their success. In comparison, our foundation is still too thin, and compared with the whole of Japan, the gap is not half a star. Wu Haoxuan sighed.

Jilin's foundation is so thin that this time he had to expand his army and fight against Japan with reckless force, if it were not for the financial support he received from overseas, I am afraid it would have collapsed long ago. In addition, Jilin's industry is too backward, everything is in its infancy, and it is far from being comparable to Japan. If he could have been given a few more years, he might not have to be afraid of the Japanese. It's a pity that the Japanese are not stupid, and naturally know that the longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for them. Therefore, Wu Haoxuan only hopes that he can use this war to completely hurt little Japan and win him more time for development.

Fortunately, it seems that there should be no big problem for the Jilin Army to win this battle. By defeating the Japanese, the Jilin Army also showed their strength to the whole world. This also allowed the Jilin Army to cooperate with the enemies of the Japanese and thus achieve better development. Isn't there a saying that enemies are enemies, and friends are friends? Once the Jilin Army grows stronger, it will be a huge threat to Japan. Therefore, Japan's enemies will definitely spare no effort to support the Jilin Army.

On the afternoon of September 18, a large fleet appeared in the sea near Yingkou. In particular, the giant ships floating on the sea like small mountains are even more eye-catching. Protected in the center by this huge fleet are the transports and merchant ships. On the transport ships and merchant ships carried the officers and men of the 5th and 7th Divisions of the Japanese Army and their equipment.

In order to reverse the situation this time, the Japanese army and navy had to cooperate under tremendous pressure. Therefore, the main force of the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy can be regarded as a nest dispatch. Not only did it include the original main force, but even the two 'Katori-class' battleships that had just been commissioned also appeared in the queue. These two battleships. But the most powerful battleship of the Japanese Navy. With a displacement of up to 16,000 tons, the armament consisted of two twin 45-caliber 305-mm main guns, four 45-caliber 254-mm single-mounted guns, 12 152-mm single-mounted guns of 45 times caliber, 16 single-mounted guns of 76-mm 40-caliber and three 47-mm rapid-fire guns. and five 457-mm torpedo tubes. Such armament can be called the most powerful battleship of all classes in the Japanese Navy. In particular, the 305 mm 45 caliber main gun it is equipped with is more powerful than the 305 mm 40 times caliber of the Shikishima-class battleships.

Of course, this was mainly directed against enemy warships at sea. The Jilin Army did not have a navy, not even a single sampan. Even if the Japanese Navy sent a light cruiser, it would be able to make the Jilin Army stare dryly. Therefore, even if the main forces of the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy all arrived, it would not have much impact on the Jilin Army. At best, it's just a surprise.

Before the start of the war, the Jilin Army took into account the threat of the Japanese Navy. Therefore, the Jilin Army will resolutely not fight in an area within 10 kilometers of the coast. In this case, the army will be torn to shreds by the naval guns of the opposing navy. The fragile human body does not have the strength to fight against the formidable naval artillery. Therefore, even if it has been greatly restricted because of this, in order to pay for smaller losses, the Jilin Army has always adhered to this principle.

There is no way to do this, who said that Jilin does not have a navy of its own? And for a long time afterward. Jilin will also be completely inferior in terms of the navy. After all, the Navy and the Army are not the same. The Army can throw recruits into the battlefield after months of training. Leave them to their own devices. If you can survive the brutal battlefield, then you can become a qualified army soldier.

However, the Navy is different. In the era of sails, there has always been a saying that the navy has been a hundred years old. Of course, this is mainly subject to the technical conditions at the time. After entering the age of steam in full swing, the Navy's warships were not as difficult to maneuver as those of the sail warships. The time to train the Navy is also shorter. But in the same way, without the accumulation of ten or twenty years, it is equally impossible to develop a strong navy.

Wu Haoxuan could only put his hope on the army first. Build a strong army, keep your own family business, and then develop the navy step by step, and then try to get out. Otherwise, he can't even keep his family business, so what if he goes out with peace talks?

The Jilin Army was in Yingkou and did not deploy troops at all. After the Japanese fleet appeared in the open sea, the people in the city fled in flocks. The 5th and 7th Divisions of the Japanese Army successfully landed at Yingkou. During the whole process, except for one Japanese soldier who accidentally fell into the sea and drowned, and a few Japanese soldiers sprained their feet because they ran too fast while looting property, there were no other casualties.

The Japanese army landed at Yingkou in a big way, which means that the final decisive battle between the Jilin Army and the Japanese Army has arrived. This battle will directly determine the outcome of this war. (To be continued......)
