Daping Yima believes that before the enemy's next move is clear, it is really not appropriate for the second-line troops to be dispatched. Otherwise, once an abnormality occurs, the entire front army will no longer have any ability to respond. According to the prediction and judgment of Major General Daping Yima, the main target of the enemy's troops in the middle line battlefield this time is likely to be Shenyang, the industrial and transportation center of South Manchuria.

Major General Daping Kazuma suggested that it is better to fight steadily and steadily, and not always think about keeping the enemy out of the defensive circle and not giving up an inch of land. At present, the entire operational plan should revolve around Shenyang as the core. Now that the battle has just begun, it is really inappropriate to transfer all the reserves up.

However, General Harem Jun, who was the commander of the front army, insisted that this counterattack must be launched. The reason of General Harem Chun is very clear, if the gap that has been opened can be closed and the assault of the enemy's cavalry mechanized cluster can be contained, the overall defense north of Shenyang will be in danger of collapsing on the entire front.

At present, only one division of the defensive forces north of Shenyang was formed in four or three years, and the rest are mainly newly formed divisions and regiments. These divisions and regiments are very reluctant in terms of combat effectiveness and equipment, which can be regarded as second-rate. If the surprise attack of the enemy's cavalry mechanized group cannot be contained in time, then the entire defense system will be in danger.

Once Tieling is taken by the enemy, the entire Third Front Army is in danger of collapsing on all fronts. In the area north of Shenyang, the entire Kwantung Army will no longer be in danger. Regardless of the enemy's objectives, the entire front north of Shenyang must remain stable. This is not only related to the entire Liaozhong battlefield, but also involves the issue of the connection between the two battlefields in western Liaoning and eastern Liaodong.

Faced with the insistence of General Harem Chun, Major General Daping Yima had no choice but to issue orders according to the requirements of the commander of the front army. This is the difference between the chief of staff and the chief of staff, even if the chief of staff in the Japanese military system has great power, but he must obey the orders of the military commander.

Received an order from General Harem Jun, Lieutenant General Shimizu Rule, who was in charge of the Japanese 30th Army west of the Zhongchang Railway, was in the situation of being beaten to the left and right. It was only possible to risk mobilizing an infantry division in the second echelon, plus the strength of an independent mixed brigade, to launch a siege against the interspersed detachments of the Anti-Japanese Union with all their might.

At the same time, an independent mixed brigade located southwest of Jinjiatun and in the Faku Niangniangmiao area was mobilized, and under the cover of one wing of artillery and one tank unit, it crossed the Liao River and launched a counteroffensive against Jinjiatun at all costs. He gave a death order to Major General Toshito Toshizo, commander of the 134th Independent Mixed Brigade, who was responsible for counterattacking the front line of Jinjiatun, that he must recapture Jinjiatun and re-seal the breakthrough in the shortest possible time.

The views of the lieutenant general of the Qing Shui rule and the general of the harem Chun are still the same in terms of the possible follow-up impact of being broken through on the front line of Jinjiatun. Moreover, this mechanized cavalry group of the Anti-Union is rampage within his defense zone. If the interspersed of this force is not contained, then his western cluster is likely to collapse at the first opportunity.

Moreover, after the Jinjiatun line was captured by the enemy, his 30th army had been divided into two. If you can't recapture Jinjiatun, your own defense area will be torn apart by the whole line. The most critical thing is the headquarters of the 30th Army of Lieutenant General Qing Shui Rule, which is located in Qingyun Fort, east of Lao Kaiyuan.

Once Tieling is occupied by the enemy, then the headquarters of his 30th Army will have no way to go to heaven. So even if he is reluctant, he can only fight back. Therefore, he could only mobilize the troops west of the Liao River on the one hand and immediately withdraw across the Liao River. On the one hand, the two independent mixed brigades of the Fifth Army, which were temporarily assigned to him at the last moment before the battle began, were also transferred.

But what is in front of the Qing Shui rules is that the wish is beautiful, but the reality is extremely cruel. Just when the 134th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade was in accordance with the order of Lieutenant General Qing Shui, it took advantage of the cover of night to complete the assembly and prepare to cross the Liao River to launch a counterattack on the Jinjiatun line, it was discovered by the troops of the Anti-Japanese Union who had turned to the defense in the southwest of Jinjiatun.

After receiving the report of the enemy's situation, Yang Zhen immediately ordered a group of 18 B24 bombers that had just taken off to bomb the Japanese army in the area west of Xinmin, and was flying in the airspace west of Changtu at this moment, to change the bombing target to the 134th Brigade in the southwest direction of Jinjiatun.

Under the guidance of the ground anti-coalition combat troops, this bomber squadron threw more than a dozen flares on the head of the 134th Brigade. All the bombers dropped all the high-explosive bombs they were carrying at an altitude of 500 meters in a dense formation on the heads of the 134th Brigade, which was waiting for the sappers to erect pontoon bridges to cross the river.

The more than 100 tons of bombs dropped by 18 B-24 bombers were undoubtedly a catastrophic blow to the 134th Brigade concentrated on the west bank of the Liao River waiting to cross the river. The dense bombs that landed in the ranks of the 134th Brigade blew up the 134th Brigade and its flesh and blood. The carpet bombing left the Japanese soldiers with no way to go to the sky and no way to enter the ground.

Before the 134th Brigade could wake up from the carpet bombing carried out by these heavy bombers. The anti-United Nations night aviation units in the skies over the battlefield west of the entire Zhongchang Railway were like flies smelling blood. They rushed one after another, under the guidance of the flares, and threw all the high-explosive bombs and napalm bombs they carried on the heads of the 134th Brigade.

In the first attack of the B24 bombers, half of the 134th Brigade was blown away, and it was able to resist the attacks of so many planes in turn. At dawn, the 134th Brigade, which had been brutally destroyed in the air raid and had lost two-thirds of its combat units, could only retreat to the southwest under the command of the only remaining brigade commander.

As for the Major General Toshito Shunzo, who had high hopes for Lieutenant General Shimizu Rules, along with all the officers of his 134th Brigade Headquarters, the remaining parts of the bombing could not even be pieced together. On the bank of the Liao River opposite Jinjiatun, there are patches of bombed, torn apart corpses of Japanese soldiers everywhere.

A tank wing attached to the brigade was destroyed by the attack planes of the Anti-Japanese Federation with rockets and napalm on the way to the battlefield. Lieutenant General Shimizu made a great determination to launch a counterattack, but before it could be fully launched, it was blown up.

As the saying goes, blessing and misfortune do not go alone, just as the 134th Brigade was bombed and suffered heavy casualties. After his 30th Army fell on the east and west banks of the Liao River and the Jinjiatun line, the remaining defenses along the Manjing and Mazhong rivers and the Faku to the mouth of the Tongjiang River also collapsed under the all-out assault of the Anti-Japanese Union.

Lieutenant General Shimizu, who was overwhelmed, could only give up the plan to re-seal the breakthrough. Send a report to General Chun of the harem, requesting that the entire 30th Army shrink to the Faku Niangniang Temple and fortify the three positions on the line of Zhonggu and Pingdingbao between Tieling and Kaiyuan. At the same time, the Front Army was requested to replenish the strength of at least one division to the Thirtieth Army.

received a telegram from Lieutenant General Shimizu Rules, and General Harem Jun was also interesting enough. It was known that once the direction of the 30th Army was broken through, the entire battlefield north of Shenyang would be in danger of collapsing on the entire front. Compared with the mountainous area on the east side of the Zhongchang Railway, the Songnen Plain on the west side is a flat river. Once a large number of tank clusters are thrown into this direction, it will hit directly under the city of Shenyang.

After hesitating for a moment, General Harem Jun transferred the headquarters of the Kwantung Army, which was transferred to him from the Fifth Army before the war to defend the last division of Shenyang, and all the reinforcements were given to Lieutenant General Shimizu Rules. For the Third Front, the strategic position of the 30th Army was too important. If the 30th Army collapses, it means that his entire front army will completely collapse.

As soon as General Harem Chun made such an adjustment, the defense strength of the entire Shenyang City was only an independent 80th mixed brigade, plus a more public security nature, with only more than 2,000 troops, which was basically used by the Kwantung Army to control the security in Shenyang City, guard the major military factories in Shenyang City, and have no heavy machine gun or above firepower.

Compared with Lieutenant General Motoshimizu Rules, who is more resolute in carrying out orders, Lieutenant General Hongo Yoshio on the Eastern Front is much more slippery. He did not use any reserves, but after the loss of Shangyang Fort, he directly abandoned the Weiyuan Fort, Mink Pitun, and Bakeshu Line that were still under the control of the Japanese army.

The general's main force shrank to the south of Weiyuan, the line from Zhonggu to Chaihebao, and the Shahe River valley as the second line of defense. Even the new and old county towns of Kaiyuan were directly given up by him. At the same time, the entire force was reduced together, and a posture of intensive defense was adopted. As for the order of General Harem Chun, he only ordered a mobile wing located south of Shangyang Fort to deal with the matter.

Lieutenant General Yoshio Hongo, who had just lost his old roots in the first half of the year, and had just been promoted to commander of the Kwantung Army, knew very well that under the suppression of the enemy's absolute superiority in ground-to-air firepower and the constant onslaught of tanks, his counterattack would only outweigh the losses.

At the beginning of his tenure, Lieutenant General Yoshio Hongo, who had studied the laws of tank operations against the United Nations, believed that although his defense area was in the mountainous area east of the Zhongchang Railway, it did not mean that the enemy army would not use tanks in this direction. Because this area is hilly, although the terrain is more complicated, it cannot be said that it is absolutely impossible to use tanks for combat.

The super-large-caliber heavy howitzers used by the enemy also made the permanent fortification group that the Kwantung Army rushed to repair before the war lose the role that the Kwantung Army expected to play. If you counterattack the front line of Shangyang Fort at this time, you will send yourself to the enemy, which will undoubtedly outweigh the losses.

With his keen sense of smell cultivated over the years in the air force, he believed that the forces invested in the counterattack would be gradually exhausted by the enemy's superior firepower and tank clusters in counterattack operations. Such a desperate fight is definitely not in line with the current war situation.

Rather than taking the initiative to send it to the door to find a beater, it is better to rely on the favorable conditions of the mountainous terrain where you are located. Adopt the tactics of resisting step by step, and drag the enemy army down little by little in the eastern mountainous area along the entire Kaiyuan and Tieling lines. The enemy's large-caliber heavy artillery moved slowly, and when they retreated to the second-line positions themselves, their heavy artillery clusters could not be used. In this way, you can rely on the second-line defensive positions to drag and consume the enemy.

Facts have proved that Lieutenant General Yoshio Hongo's approach is still an appropriate choice. When the 30th Army, in accordance with the orders of the Front Army, launched a full-line counterattack on the Jinjiatun line, and concentrated the heavy army clusters of the second echelon to carry out counter-encirclement operations against the anti-union mechanized cavalry clusters that broke into the depth of their defenses.

From the two flanks of the central battlefield, the two interspersed corps in the east and west commanded by Chen Hanzhang and Du Kaishan respectively, took advantage of the opportunity when the main force of the Japanese army in the frontal battlefield was attracted to the past, and launched a rapid penetration behind the heavy Japanese army clusters on both flanks of the middle and long railways, with the armored troops as the lead.

The troops under the command of Chen Hanzhang of the Western Front Corps were spearheaded by the 1st Armored Division. Bypassing the focus of the 30th Army's in-depth defense, it chose to combine it with the Fifth Army on the Western Front, and at present, because the defensive troops have been transferred to other areas, the defense of troops is already quite weak. Passing through the front line of Shuangtaizi and Dingjiafang west of Kangping and Faku, the 30th Army, which had seized the Qingshui Rules, had not yet withdrawn to this direction, and quickly interspersed along the Liao River.
