However, the Japanese army finally snatched a little resources from between the teeth of the navy and built some tanks, armored vehicles, and self-propelled guns, which naturally they all regarded as baby bumps, and the loss of more than 2,000 combat vehicles since the invasion of China has already made the Japanese military department feel distressed to death, and where did they get the determination to smash this treasure of the army into it in one go. As a result, they only hesitated for ten days, and the situation in the northeast had already taken a sharp turn, and the Kwantung Army still had nearly 600,000 people on the surface, but there was not much of the essence left, and it was also divided and surrounded by the millions of People's Liberation Army that were actively interspersed, and became a lone army that could not support each other

Among them, Changchun and its periphery have the largest number of troops, no less than 250,000 people; If the strength of the Japanese Navy is included, the strength of the brigade is more than 200,000; And if the total number of Japanese troops distributed in the fortress groups on the eastern border is combined, there are still more than 100,000 troops; In addition, there were some scattered Japanese troops trapped in the small and medium-sized cities of Siping

After the main forces of Huaye and Dongye successfully met, the two bosses had obvious differences about the goal of the first attack, and Mr. Lin, who had always been cautious in using troops, believed that now the defeat of the Japanese army was decided, so there was no need to take unnecessary risks, but should go from easy to difficult, first clear those small strongholds occupied by the Japanese army, and then concentrate on dealing with the three strong devils; However, Mr. Xu Dongye, who is good at winning in danger, believes that the morale of the Japanese army is low after consecutive defeats, and he should take this opportunity to beat the water dogs. It is not advisable to give the devils too much time to gather the defeated army and organize and train new troops. In terms of relationship, it is obvious that Mr. Lin and Taizu are more close, but Mr. Xu's thinking is more in line with his idea of ending the war as soon as possible, so Taizu quickly called back to the Northeast Front Finger and asked them to fight big and early, although Mr. Lin was unhappy, he could only carry out the order

After the policy of fighting big and fighting early was decided, the ideas of the two bosses became surprisingly consistent, and they invariably chose Changchun, the "national capital" of the puppet Manchuria, as the first target to attack, because although there were many Japanese troops in Changchun. But because Changchun was far away from the war before. Therefore, the devils did not have time to build complete city fortifications, and there were still a large number of defeated troops and puppet armies in Changchun City. They can easily drop their chains and drag their feet; Compare it to. The Luda area is home to the Japanese Navy's Grand Fleet. And the fortress groups on the eastern border are also a headache, not to mention that the main forces of the two major field armies are basically light infantry now, even if the artillery division comes. It is also impossible to take it easily, so it must be solved later.

As for small and medium-sized cities like Siping, they only need to leave some mobile troops for backup, if they dare to come out, they will annihilate them through field battles, if they are determined to be turtles shrinking their heads, when the enemy in Changchun is annihilated, their weak lone army will be difficult to resist the million-strong division of the two major field armies. Speaking of which, thanks to the fact that the two major field armies are now the main force of light infantry, the role of the line of communication is not so important, and if it is a heavy army, if these nails are not removed one by one, the road line will not be able to pass at all

Due to the poor equipment of Dongye (Note 1), the task of attacking the fortification undoubtedly fell on the shoulders of Mr. Lin, and the hundreds of thousands of troops in Dongye were responsible for sending reinforcements, but perhaps because of the return to the light, the resistance of the Japanese puppet army in Changchun was extremely tenacious, and the huge casualties of the attacking troops made Mr. Lin, who had always cherished his soldiers, frown, and at this time, the Japanese army suddenly moved north, directly threatening the safety of Shenyang and Fushun. As a result, the troops that returned were not enough to inflict heavy losses on the brigade and the Japanese army retreated calmly, and at the same time, Huaye's attack on Changchun was temporarily blocked due to insufficient troops.

What is even more troublesome is that after the Japanese army tasted the sweetness, it repeatedly attacked north, either real or false, because the Japanese military department transported the first mechanized (motorized) army formed after receiving US aid to the "Kanto Prefecture" of Luda by sea, this force of more than 80,000 troops is extremely mobile, and under the condition that the air supremacy east of Jinzhou is still in the hands of the Japanese army, they are almost free to come and go in the liberated areas, and as soon as the Huaye troops return, they immediately retract back to the brigade, and as soon as the main force of Huaye leaves, they swagger north to attack and harass, The lungs of Huaye's commanders and fighters were blown up, but the brigade had more than half of the large and medium-sized warships of the Japanese Combined Fleet stationed, and it was really difficult for the army to get them. At this time, Hu Weidong, who had just been officially appointed secretary of the Central Plains Bureau, received a letter of invitation from the naval officers and men

Soon after the two heavy cruisers of Zhiyuan and Jingyuan were repaired, Shen Honglie proposed to Ye Fei the idea of going to sea to seek war, he did not want to use the only bit of the navy to fight to the death with the powerful Japanese Combined Fleet, but planned to make full use of the innate advantages of these two warships captured from the devils, disguised as Japanese warships to avoid enemy interception and enter the open sea, and then attack the devil's sea lines of communication, so that The main fleet of the Japanese Navy had to leave the brigade and go back to fight the fire. And the brigade that has lost the protection of the Grand Fleet has a strong fortress, and it is no longer an unconquerable Jincheng soup pool. And once Lushun and Dalian are taken, they can use the fortresses there to resist the attack of the Japanese navy, and it is no longer possible for the Japanese to take them away from the Chinese, and more importantly, after eliminating the Japanese army, even if the devil achieves a great tactical victory, it will have little substantive significance

Of course, Shen Honglie also knew that although these two warships might return triumphantly when they went out, it was undoubtedly more likely that they would be caught and destroyed by the Japanese pursuing fleet. However, as long as the recovery of the Northeast can be accelerated, even if these two warships are sunk, it will be worth it

Note 1: Since the Central Plains Field Army had no combat missions during this time, many new weapons produced by the Central Plains Liberated Area Arsenal were given priority to the North China Field Army, which made Huaye's weapons and equipment level advance by leaps and bounds, even if they did not bring heavy artillery for tactical needs, they also had 120mm heavy mortars and 105 mountain guns, which were absolutely called heavy artillery weapons before the Anti-Japanese War, and the artillery fire of a main division of Huaye would even exceed that of an army in Dongye. If it weren't for the fact that Higashino had previously received a lot of Japanese-style weapons when he fought side by side with the Soviet army, the gap would have been much greater.
