Gu Shoufu sat very weakly in his division headquarters, his face was gray, his eyes were scattered, as if he had been turned by countless strong men, and the panicked and hurried staff officers beside him were cleaning up before retreating, the soot of burning documents was swirling, and the entire division headquarters was in a post-apocalyptic decadence.

How did you lose? The four elite divisions of the Imperial Army were actually defeated by 200,000 of them, although there was a reason for the lack of ammunition, but the courage of the Imperial warriors was enough to make up for it.

But even so, it was still defeated on all fronts, and what was even more humiliating was that the first to rout was actually their own defense line, shame, shame, the famous Sixth Division of the Japanese Empire was actually driven away like a dog in a hurry, this is simply a great shame, and I really have no face to see people again in the future.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, it's time for us to go." The chief of staff whispered from the side.

"Is there any news of General Jianchuan?" Gu Shoufu asked in a low voice, as the biggest responsible person after the loss of the warp shed, Jianchuan Miji led the fourth division to be responsible for the counterattack on the warp shed, and now it has been blocked in the Xilamulun River valley.

"Not yet." The chief of staff whispered.

Gu Shoufu smiled bitterly, it seems that Lieutenant General Jianchuan, who traverses three hundred miles in the enemy, can only resign himself to fate, a lion with a flock of sheep, after all, it is still a flock of sheep, not to mention that the minions of this lion have been worn bald by the years.

At this time, the unique firing sound of the large-caliber machine gun in the distance had been clearly heard, and this weapon had become the most terrifying nightmare of the Japanese army, Gu Shoufu's face changed, and he stood up helplessly.

Just when Gu Shoufu retreated from Wudan City to Chifeng, Jianchuan Miji's Fourth Division had also completely herded sheep, and nearly 10,000 horses and horses were blocked in the Xilamulun River Valley, and the two divisions of the Ying Division of Pengsun Dianying plus the Second Brigade of the Security Division were running through his defense line like a giant steamroller with a firepower density that he had never heard of. The soldiers of the 4th Division, who fled in a hurry, were either shot like dogs or simply surrendered on their knees.

The entire defense line was now completely disorganized, and to the east of them, the allied forces with He Jifeng's division of the 29th Army and Gao Hongwen's division of the Shang Zhen Department as the vanguard broke through the defense line of the 6th Division, and had actually cut off their retreat. Now the two divisions of Gu Liangmin and Yao Dongfan have turned around and attacked the front and rear of the armies in the direction of Jingpeng to the west.

Miji Kenkawa has now lost control of his troops, and the soldiers of the 4th Division, who have no way out, are discarding all their heavy weapons one by one and burrowing into the mountains and forests to the south in a panic.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, we must turn south!" A staff officer said in a panic that there were now more than a hundred people left around Miji Jianchuan, and he couldn't even get together a squadron.

He looked into the distance with a sad and indignant face, and a truck with a large-caliber machine gun had appeared. The muzzle of the flame-spitting gun is shooting the Japanese soldiers in the chaos ahead.

Kenkawa Miji gritted his teeth and ran towards the mountains and forests under the escort of the soldiers, his group was the most numerous, and immediately became the best target for the armed truck, and the muzzle of the 12.7mm machine gun mounted on the roof of the car turned around, and a box of 50 rounds of ammunition smashed over.

When a bullet of this caliber hits the human body, the whole person is beaten to slag. A box of bullets sent the Japanese soldiers to the ground running.

Miji Kenkawa watched as the chest of the staff officer beside him turned into countless pieces of minced flesh, squirting out like a stream of water from a water gun. Then the whole body was disconnected at once, and this scene frightened this veteran who had experienced the Russo-Japanese War into screaming.

Fortunately, it was already very close to the forest, and it would take some time for the large-caliber machine gun to change the box, and Lieutenant General Jianchuan finally escaped into the forest under the escort of the remaining soldiers, but before he could catch his breath, he saw the trees around him suddenly break off like fragile corn stalks. The flying wood chips, the bullets that penetrated the trees, gave the remnants of dozens of Japanese soldiers an even more terrible blow, and even Lieutenant General Jianchuan was directly pierced in the cheek by a piece of wood chips.

He didn't care about this, and gritted his teeth to pull out the sawdust. Holding his cheeks with one hand, he ran desperately into the depths of the dense forest, until he couldn't run anymore, and then his butt collapsed on the ground, followed by three more soldiers, the only remaining subordinates around him.

Jianchuan Miji came back to his senses, looked around sadly and angrily, felt that he was no longer bored, and looked back on the eventful years when he followed Akiyama Yoshiko's criticism, and finally decided to follow the dead Admiral Akiyama.

He stretched his hand to his waist, but it turned out to be empty, only to find that the knife that had accompanied him for many years was gone, and now the courage was also vented, he looked at the three soldiers beside him who were looking at him with a solemn face, and couldn't help but sigh sadly and indignantly.

"Keep going!" He got up and said helplessly.

The two soldiers and a captain hurriedly followed the division commander to continue to escape, the route they fled from was a valley, although the trees were dense but fortunately, there was the sun overhead, so they would not lose their way, as long as they went south, they could not deviate from the direction.

From here, due south you can go to the paddock, where the headquarters of the Eighth Division is located, and Lieutenant General Jianchuan is very soberly aware that Chifeng is no longer safe.

Just as he was fleeing south in the dense forest, Gu Shoufu was also fleeing in a hurry, and behind his ass, tens of thousands of troops were in pursuit, and countless heroic imperial soldiers were spontaneously staying to block step by step, winning the opportunity for His Excellency the respected division commander to escape, well, or the opportunity to turn in.

Like him, there were two divisions on the northern front, but they transferred in relatively calmly, after all, Yang Feng's real target was Chifeng.

The news of the rout of the Xilamulun defense line was immediately known to Youji Ming, who was in Beiping, and he understood what Yang Feng meant when he said that he would change his mind when they met next time.

"Mr. Yang, your current behavior makes it hard for us to believe that you have the sincerity of peace." He was a little nervous and found Yang Feng again.

"Your Excellency, we have set the terms of peace, but you don't agree, so we have no choice but to continue fighting." Yang Feng said innocently.

"Peace talks must be preceded by an armistice." Ariyoshiaki said.

"How can we stop fighting if we can't talk about it?" Yang Feng said.

He won't be fooled like this! Now is the time to go all at once, Wudan City has been taken, and Chifeng is only a hundred and ten miles away, chasing quickly is just following Gu Shoufu's footsteps, so he doesn't even have time to arrange defenses.

"Mr. Yang, armistice negotiations are all about stopping first and then talking." Ariyoshiaki said.

"Doesn't that seem right! I remember the last battle of the Great Wall, we seemed to be fighting and talking at the same time. Yang Feng said.

"Mr. Yang. Don't overestimate your own strength, it's easy to really anger the Great Japanese Empire and use the power of thunder to destroy you. Ariyoshiaki said with a sneer.

"Well, at this point we would do well to consider Comrade Joseph's feelings, I think this war between us has made him very happy. Would you like to add more fun to his life?

I don't deny that you can destroy us, and even North China, but at what cost? My twelve bombers are waiting! Maybe you should take a visit with me, we just got a new batch of incendiary bombs, and the effect can be described as terrifying. ”

He is not a bluff threat, the laboratory on Weishan Island really made the first batch of napalm for him, this thing is not difficult to do. Even if there is no polystyrene he brought, direct rubber can make napalm, and the chemical experts from Beiyang Institute of Technology and Nankai easily made the first batch of 100 test bombs, which also added aluminum powder and magnesium powder to support combustion, and it is also very possible to directly test the Japanese if needed.

"Of course, we won't get into trouble like that, so you'd better ask General Ryokari again to wipe out the armies north of the Great Wall. What price does he need to pay, just for a poor ravine. Is it worth paying the price of hundreds of thousands of casualties? Yang Feng said.

Yoshiaki had really asked this question, and the answer given by Takashi Hishikari was really frustrating.

"Mr. Yang, we will consider your conditions." Ariyoshiaki said.

"Well, Your Excellency, I need to make it clear that this condition may have changed. I think you should be able to understand that no one can throw away what they have in their hands, so our conditions will change according to our steps. Yang Feng said sincerely.

The footsteps of the attacking troops had reached Chifeng the next morning, serving as armed trucks for the assault force and cavalry accompanying the escort. The whole way of maintaining contact with the Japanese army, did not leave Gu Shoufu any time to arrange defenses, just when the Sixth Division rushed into Chifeng, the twin anti-aircraft guns loaded on these trucks had already aimed at Chifeng County.

The entire Chifeng county town was blown up, Gu Shoufu knew very well that there was no possibility of guarding here, his sixth division went straight to the railway station as soon as he arrived in Chifeng, the Laoha River Bridge has been simply repaired, and it has been able to make do with it, now don't worry about anything else, first withdraw to Jianping, and then blow up the bridge, and establish a defense line with the Laoha River.

As soon as he ran away, the puppet army and Japanese expatriates in the city still didn't understand what was going on? immediately followed and rushed to the railway station, but there were not a few trains on the station, and the Sixth Division alone was not enough, so how could they have their share, and the whole station was in chaos for a while.

In the midst of this chaos, the pursuing coalition forces drove into Chifeng.

At the same time as the southern front attacked Chifeng, the 100,000 Northeast Guangfu Army on the northern front, with the cooperation of Zhao Dengyu's cavalry, had also recovered the Tianshan Mountains, and the fifth and eleventh divisions of the Japanese army retreated to Kailu, and then quickly arranged a defensive line to prepare to hold on.

"Kailu must be taken, otherwise the Red Summit will be attacked from three sides, take Kailu and then use the Retao Highway as the demarcation line and the Japanese army to cease fire, so that the entire Zhaowuda League will basically fall into our hands." Yang Feng, who arrived in Duolun by plane, looked at the map and said.

At this time, the Japanese Eighth Division had already retreated and quickly retreated to Chengde, and everyone understood that after losing Chifeng, the coalition forces could go straight to Chengde along the road, and now Zhang Haipeng, chairman of Rehe Province, was ready to run away.

If Chengde is lost again, the Eighth Division will be finished.

"I think we might as well simply take Chengde, leave two divisions in Chifeng, and all the remaining departments go south, and the 63rd Army and Feng Zhi'an of Guyuan will directly kill them, and it will be easy to take Chengde." Sun Dianying said with a cruel smile.

I have to say that this proposal is very tempting, and if you take Chengde, you can say that you will recover Rehe, which is a great achievement that is enough to shine in the annals of history, not to mention Sun Dianying, even Feng Zhanhai and a group of generals of the 63rd Army are all excited.

But Yang Feng knew very well that there was no benefit in doing so, the Japanese would never allow such a thing to happen, even if two more divisions were transferred from the country, they would never lose Rehe, and they couldn't afford to lose this person was one aspect, and more importantly, they wouldn't have played cards with Yang Feng in the future.

Yang Feng's goal is to end this war, not to expand it. He was a great believer in Bismarck, and there should be limits to any expansion, and the limit of this war was Chifeng.

"Don't do this, we can't push the Japanese into a hurry, the most important thing now is to take Kailu and then negotiate an armistice with the Japanese." He shook his head and said.

Since he doesn't agree. Then Sun Dianying and the others had no choice but to shake their heads regretfully.

It was not difficult to attack Kailu, just when the forward arrived at Chifeng, the second brigade of the security division also arrived by car, and they were brilliant in this battle, strong firepower, excellent individual quality, and moderate command, so that they always pressed the Japanese army to fight again. At least seventy percent of the credit for the defeat of the Fourth Division goes to them.

Immediately behind them was Fu Zuoyi's general headquarters, at this time the Sixth Division had already left by train, and more than 1,000 Japanese troops who could not get on the train were routing along the railway towards Jianping, and there were thousands of Japanese expatriates with them, and those puppet troops simply surrendered in desperation.

Now Ho Jifeng's troops are pursuing eastward.

After receiving Yang Feng's telegram requesting to go north to capture Kailu, Fu Zuoyi immediately adjusted his deployment. Stay He Jifeng, Gao Hongwen. Three divisions of Yao Dongfan, plus one brigade each of his and Pang Bingxun's divisions, quickly deployed in Chifeng, the second brigade of the security division, two divisions of Sun Dianying's division, and Gu Liangmin's division of Han Fuyu's department went north to Kailu.

At the same time, all cars were distributed to the 2nd Brigade of the Security Division. As a striker, rush to the battlefield as fast as possible.

At the same time that the coalition forces were attacking Kailu from the west and south, Yang Feng also formally proposed the conditions for peace talks to Youjiming.

"Take the Retao Highway and the Yingjin River as the dividing line, and this boundary is to the west. To the north, including Kailu and Chifeng, are under the Northeast Liberation Army, and your army retreats fifty kilometers, and the middle zone is a demilitarized zone, and it is forbidden to retain any armed personnel.

In exchange, the Anti-Japanese League withdrew from Yanji, which had already been occupied, and promised not to take the initiative to attack your army and the Manchurian army again without being attacked. He took a well-written manuscript and read it seriously.

In addition to Yang Feng, Qin Dechun, deputy commander of the 29th Army, and Su Bingwen, deputy commander-in-chief of the Northeast Liberation Army, as a formal negotiator, also participated.

This is a bit excessive, at least in the opinion of Ariyoshiming, which is equivalent to cutting off half of the Rehe, although these places are vast and sparsely populated barren mountainous areas, and the vast majority of them are Mongol pastoral areas, but the problem is too big, or too humiliating.

"Mr. Yang, I don't see the sincerity you said in this draft negotiation." Yoshiaki and the representative sent by the Kwantung Army, Doi Hara, looked at each other and said.

"Your Excellency, we are already very sincere, if there is no sincerity, I am afraid that we are already in Chengde at this time." Qin Dechun said lightly.

Youji Ming frowned, he knew that Qin Dechun was not scaring people, in fact, what the Kwantung Army was most afraid of now was this, the fall of Chifeng was equivalent to opening the door to Chengde, not to mention that there was still Feng Zhanhai's 63rd Army on the Western Front, and the Feng Public Security Department of the 29th Army was eyeing him, and the 10,000 people of the Eighth Division plus a bunch of messy puppet troops were probably hopeless.

If you lose Chengde again, then this problem is very serious, not long after taking office, Ling Kalong, was removed from his post that is absolute, and more importantly, in this way, Gubeikou, Xifengkou must all give up, now Shanhaiguan has been blocked by Yang Feng with cannons, and there is no more pressure in these two places, it is very unrealistic to scare him with a cold mouth, and in this way, Yang Feng can draw out at least three divisions of mobile troops, including the 29th Army's ace Zhang Zizhong Division, these tens of thousands of horses will definitely join the battlefield outside the Guan, Thinking of this, Yoshiaki and Tohihara both saw deep worry in each other's eyes.

"Your Excellency, I believe you should understand our sincerity by now, right?" Yang Feng looked at them and said.

Just when the two sides officially began to negotiate, the Japanese army in Kailu also received the information that Chifeng had fallen and tens of thousands of enemy troops were heading north.

The two of them asked for help from Ryokara on the one hand, and began to rearrange the defense line, but after all, their strength was limited, and after a series of battles, the two divisions combined were 20,000 people, of which the fifth division and the eleventh division continued to block on the east bank of the Xilamulun River, and Yamamuro Nakatake led the remaining men and horses of the eleventh division to deploy defense on the north bank of the Xiliao River.

Before his defense line was established, the 2nd Brigade of the Security Division, which came by car, had already arrived, because of the convenient transportation, Fu Zuoyi handed over the heavy artillery regiment to them, and 20 130mm heavy guns first bombarded the artillery in the hands of the mountain chamber, and then cooperated with the artillery of the 2nd Brigade to bombard the Japanese positions on the south bank without stopping.

Because the bridge had been blown up by the Japanese army, the Second Brigade directly got off the car and forced to cross the Xiliao River, and at the same time all the armed trucks lined up on the south bank, anti-aircraft guns, anti-aircraft machine guns, and heavy machine guns smashed the dense rain of bullets to the opposite bank, and the Japanese troops ravaged by the shells could not raise their heads at all, let alone what to block in this case, and the 6,000 troops of the Second Brigade all rushed across the Xiliao River.

At this time, the only reinforcement that Ryokari Takashi could provide to the front line, dozens of Japanese planes also arrived, and the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns that were attacking the Japanese defensive positions immediately raised their heads, and the loaders immediately changed to armor shells.
