Before the war, the Jilin Army had a total of 12 infantry divisions. In the war against Japan, nine infantry divisions were used. The remaining three infantry divisions remained in the north to defend against the Russians. However, in the event of a critical situation, the railway can be used to quickly move south.

After the annihilation of several railway garrison brigades of the Japanese army, the South Manchurian Railway had fallen into the control of the Jilin Army. An infantry division of more than 18,000 people, including men and equipment, is estimated to take only three days to transport it to Jinzhou. Whether it is the 1st town of the Beiyang Army or the 28th town of Feng Linge, it will take six or seven days to rush to Jinzhou. By that time, the 9th Infantry Division of the Jilin Army should have arrived in Jinzhou long ago, and had built strong fortifications, just waiting for the Beiyang Army and Feng Linge's troops to collide head-on.

"If the Beiyang Army does not increase its troops, with the strength of the 9th Infantry Division, it will be enough to deal with them." Zhao Xifu said. Although the 9th Infantry Division had only more than 18,000 men, the 1st Town of the Beiyang Army plus the 28th Town of Feng Linge had 25,000 men. However, the combat effectiveness of both sides is not at all on the same level. Weapons and equipment are even more heaven and earth. The most optimistic estimate is that an infantry regiment of the Jilin Army will be able to defeat a town of the Beiyang Army. With the addition of the troops directly under the division headquarters, there would be no problem at all for an infantry division of the Jilin Army to overturn three or four towns of the Beiyang Army.

Of course, this is just a theoretical estimate. In fact, what is more important on the battlefield is people's subjective initiative. Talent is the most important, weapons and equipment, all belong to the secondary factor. Of course, ignoring weapons and equipment, that is also undesirable. After all, soldiers cannot be allowed to fight an enemy armed to the teeth empty-handed.

"The main force of the North Ocean is still in the south, and it will take a lot of time for them to withdraw to the north. If the 9th Infantry Division can seize this time difference. If the 1st town of the Beiyang Army and the 28th town of Feng Linge were defeated in one fell swoop, I don't believe that the Beiyang Army would dare to send troops out of the customs. At best, it would be great if the 9th Infantry Division could take down Shanhaiguan in one fell swoop. Wu Haoxuan said. With the strength of the 9th Infantry Division, it should not be much of a problem to defeat the 1st Town of the Jilin Army and the 28th Town of Feng Linge. But. If you want to seize Shanhaiguan, you have to look at the opportunity. If Shanhaiguan can be occupied, it will undoubtedly be one more important way to enter the pass. With Xiongguan, the Jilin Army can attack and retreat, and it will be invincible in the future.

"It's possible. The Beiyang Army is also the master of bullying the weak and fearing the hard, once we defeat their forward troops, how many troops should be sent out of the pass, Yuan Datou may have to weigh it carefully. Zhao Xifu said with a smile.

"Still. Young marshal, what about the Russians? Do you want to be on guard. After all, the Russians also had no small number of troops in the Far East. "The old Maozi in the north is also staring at the northeast. It's just that during the Russo-Japanese War, the little Japan that broke out was dizzy, and it was a little more restrained. But this does not mean that the Russians have no ambitions for the Northeast.

"There are also the 10th Infantry Division and the 11th Infantry Division in the north, and two divisions are enough to guard against Lao Maozi. Lao Maozi has not yet recovered from the fiasco of the Russo-Japanese War. There should be no possibility of using force against us in the near future, and at most it will be blackmail. After we cleaned up little Japan. They don't have a chance. Wu Haoxuan shook his head.

"The key is that in the battle in front of us, we must find a way to defeat little Japan, which is the most important thing. As long as little Japan is defeated, then everything will be solved. Wu Haoxuan said.

"Yes, young marshal." Zhao Xifu nodded.

"Young marshal, big marshal urgent. The young lady has already given birth to a little young master. Mother and child are safe. A staff officer hurried into the headquarters, his face full of joy.

Wu Haoxuan was stunned for a moment, and then there was a burst of ecstasy on his face, and he snatched the telegram from the staff officer at once and read it carefully. The content of the telegram was short. The main thing to say is that his wife Ma Jiahui gave birth to his son safely this morning, weighing six pounds and seven taels. Wu Xingquan told Wu Haoxuan that he would be at ease to fight in the front, and he would take care of the affairs in the rear.

He was a man for two lives, and finally had a son, which made Wu Haoxuan very moved. At the same time, he also felt that the responsibility on his shoulders was heavier. Whether he can let his son live in a rich and powerful China without the oppression of foreign powers depends on his efforts.

"I'm going to make it!" Wu Haoxuan secretly swore in his heart.

"Congratulations to the young marshal!" Zhao Xifu first congratulated. At Wu Haoxuan's age, he should have had a son a long time ago. When others were at Wu Haoxuan's age, his son had already run all over the ground. In addition, this is also of great help in stabilizing the rule of the Wu family. Wu Xingquan is in the prime of life, and Wu Haoxuan is also young. However, the emergence of the third generation undoubtedly allowed their rule to be inherited. This can also play a great role in uniting people's hearts.

"Haha, this is indeed a great joy. However, now that I am on the front line, I can't celebrate. Why don't you celebrate the birth of my son with the lives of tens of thousands of little devils in the entire North Korean army. Wu Haoxuan said with a smile.

"Haha, young marshal, that's a good proposition. It is also their honor that these little devils can use their deaths to celebrate the little master. Major General Zhao Xifu also laughed.

Subsequently, Wu Haoxuan's order with a joking meaning was passed to the commanders of the various units on the front line. While celebrating the safe birth of the little master, everyone also issued an order to launch a general attack on the Japanese army, using the lives of the Japanese army to celebrate the little master's coming to this world.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

On the front line of Changgongling, the divisional artillery battalions of several infantry divisions of the Jilin Army were firing fiercely at the positions of the Japanese army. Because it is located in the middle of a thousand mountains and mountains, the transportation is inconvenient, and there are big problems in the transportation of artillery. In order to transport these guns to the front, it took a lot of effort. At the same time, fighting in the mountains, there were a lot of dead spots for artillery shelling, which allowed many fixed firing points of the Japanese army to survive.

However, the Jilin Army was equipped with a large number of mortars, which were powerful infantry support artillery, and the curved trajectory of the projectile could fire at the Japanese fire points hidden in the dead ends. This ensures the removal of these points of fire, which pose a great threat to the infantry.

After the Jilin Army launched a fierce offensive, the Korean army in the midst of the encirclement suddenly felt great pressure. One front after another was lost, the troops suffered heavy losses and had to retreat. As a result, the space for the DPRK army's activities has been greatly suppressed.

A large number of wounded are denied effective treatment due to lack of medicines, leaving them to their fate. There were also many Japanese soldiers who chose to commit suicide because they were surrounded and had no hope of breaking through. It can be said that the entire Korean army is at the last moment.

"Order the 10th Division to break through to the south with all its might. As long as we can break through the defense line of the 5th Infantry Division of the Jilin Army, we will be able to merge with the Kwantung Army. Under such circumstances, the commander of the Korean Army, General Hasegawa Yoshimichi, gave the order to break out of the siege. If it continues to hold on, it will only lead to the Japanese defensive positions being eaten up little by little, and then completely lost.

"Hey!" The Chief of Staff, Major General Muta Keikuro, went to give the order. He also knew that it was now the last moment of the North Korean army. If they can break through the defense line of the Jilin Army, the North Korean army may still be desperate, and if they fail, then they can only fight to the death.

After receiving the order, Lieutenant General An Dong Jeong-mi, commander of the 10th Division of the Korean Army, immediately ordered his troops to storm southward. The 8th Infantry Brigade and the 33rd Infantry Brigade under the jurisdiction of the 10th Division were sent to the front. The two brigade commanders, Major General Koizumi Masahsu and Major General Takery Yamane, were on the front line to command the troops. The engineer wing, cavalry wing, and baggage wing directly under the division, as well as the field artillery wing and field heavy artillery brigade without artillery, were all thrown into the attack. This caused the 5th Infantry Division of the Jilin Army to suddenly encounter great pressure.

Major General Shi Qingshan, commander of the 5th Infantry Division, immediately changed his strategy, and the whole division went on the defensive. Rely on strong fortifications and firepower to deplete the living forces of the Japanese army. At the same time, the 3rd, 4th, 6th and 7th Infantry Divisions also intensified their offensive against the Korean army. The 3rd Division, which was responsible for breaking off the 10th Division, was badly damaged. After encountering the onslaught of the four infantry divisions of the Jilin Army, the Third Division was like a small boat in the sea under a storm, which could be overturned by the wind and waves at any time.

"Rush!" The officers of the Japanese army, waving their katana swords, directed the troops to attack.

However, in the face of the rain of bullets and bullets of the Jilin Army, they often fall on the way forward.

"Baga, order the 63rd Wing, no longer need to leave reserves, all of them are on the offensive, and they must tear apart the defense line of that man." Major General Takeryo Yamane, commander of the 33rd Infantry Brigade of the Japanese Army, hid in a hidden command post on the front line and gave the order.

However, in the next second, a shell from a 120-mm heavy mortar fell from the sky and hit this command precisely in the air. All the senior officers of the 33rd Infantry Brigade of the Japanese Army, including Major General Takeryo Yamane, were killed. Only the commander of the 63rd Infantry Wing, Chikunosuke Ishiguro, Nakasa, escaped the catastrophe because he commanded the battle at the front. However, in the end, his fate was also taken away by a stray bullet.

Although the Japanese attack was very fierce, it was just a trapped beast fighting, the last struggle. When the sun set, the Japanese 10th Division, which had suffered heavy losses, stopped the attack. They had exhausted all their strength in the afternoon attack. And this, too, announced the destruction of the North Korean army, which is just around the corner. (To be continued......)
