When Lin Yuan heard Deng Hong say this, he didn't react for a while, and asked, "What did you say?" ”

Deng Hong said: "Don't you remember the Dunkirk evacuation in World War II? At that time, the Anglo-French army was pressed on the port of Dunkirk, and Hitler could wipe out all 300,000 Anglo-French troops as long as he ordered his armored troops to continue to advance, but he gave the order to stop the offensive and gave the Anglo-French troops a chance to escape. ”

Lin Yuan smiled when he heard this: "Oh, so that's the case." I think about it this way, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army, especially the combat effectiveness of the original Lushun defenders, is hardly weakened, if we continue to attack, we will definitely suffer a lot of losses, the Japanese army has only one goal, that is, to retreat and escape, we are different, we have finished fighting the Japanese, and there are still ** to fight, so we should preserve our strength. ”

Deng Hong smiled: "I understand, do you want to wait for them to get on the boat and then destroy them in one fell swoop?" ”

Lin Yuan smiled again and said, "No, I'm going to keep their warships and play a bigger role!" ”

At this moment, a herald came to report: "The Japanese army in Fengtian City is preparing to retreat from the east gate, and several generals ask for instructions on whether to pursue?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "Order all departments, don't pursue, and rest quickly." "Because Lin Yuan knew that the Japanese army would soon be able to withdraw into the mountains, and the pursuit would not achieve much success. In this way, Dashan Rock led the remnants of the defeated army back to Korea along the mountain road, and the Japanese army in Changtu heard that the Japanese army in Mukden had been defeated, and also withdrew to Korea through Ji'an in the north.

After the entry of Dashan Rock into Korea, the passage between the mountains was strategically surrounded by the Qing army because it was deep behind the enemy, there was no other defensive fulcrum, and there was also a lot of controversy among the Japanese high-level about whether the defenders should retreat, some believed that if Lin Yuan ordered the defenders of Lushun to directly attack Andong ("Anton" is the old name of "Dandong"), once Anton was lost, the Japanese army on this line would be completely annihilated, and some people believed that the Japanese army on this line should be retained to prepare for the future counterattack on Manchuria. And Anton is a hard bone to gnaw, Lin Yuan wants to gnaw, without leaving a few teeth, it is impossible to gnaw the meat!

In the end, it was decided that the Japanese troops on this line would not be withdrawn, but would remain in the northeast and rely on the favorable terrain for a long-term garrison.

And Lin Yuan's eyes also fell on the Japanese army on this line, and the main target of the next battle was the Russians, leaving such a group of enemies in his rear, it was unimaginable!

Lin Yuan looked at the map in front of him, this line is full of mountains, the road for the large army to march is in the valley, the Japanese army occupied the valley on both sides and several important villages and towns on the passage, these villages and towns were military fortresses in the past, so there are still the walls of the previous dynasty, and it will definitely not be easy to take them back.

Lin Yuan also set his sights on the small city called Andong, which leads to Shenyang in the north, Korea in the south, Lushun in the west, and Gaoshan in the east, and whoever controls this place controls the passage in and out of the Korean Peninsula in the west, and when the Chinese People's Volunteers entered the DPRK to fight, a considerable part of the troops entered Korea from here. For Lin Yuan, the most important significance of capturing Andong is that it directly strangles the passage for the Japanese troops in the northeast to return to Korea, so that they will collapse without a fight.

However, the generals of the Japanese army also know the importance of Anton, so they will definitely send heavy troops to defend, if they attack, maybe it will be a protracted war, this is what Lin Yuan does not want to see, whether it is missing one of the three or not, or letting go of the Japanese army, it is all the result of Lin Yuan's reluctance to fight to the death with the Japanese army in order to preserve his strength, and now it is even more impossible to consume his troops on the siege, Lin Yuan thought: "Can it be formed again to fight more and fight less?" ”

Just as Lin Yuan was pondering in front of the map, Deng Hong spoke: "Captain, are you thinking about how to beat the rest of the devils, I have a good way." ”

Lin Yuan asked, "What is it?" ”

Deng Hong drew a big fork with his hand on the mountain line where the Japanese troops were stationed, and said: "Let our planes drop incendiary bombs here and throw them into a fork shape, so that no matter which direction the wind blows, they can be burned clean!" Lin Yuan smiled: "This method, let's use it when we fight the Japanese mainland, I want to beat Anton, but I don't want to spend too many troops." ”

Deng Hong said: "If you want to do this, you have to control the number of enemies in Anton, if they increase their troops significantly, it will bring us a great difficulty!"

Lin Yuan said: "You are very right, there is a Yalu River between Andong and North Korea, it is now April, the river has begun to melt, it is impossible to transport food and troops from above, the Japanese army has specially built a bridge, if we want to block the enemy, we have to blow up that bridge." ”

While he was talking, the curtain was lifted, Chen Fei walked in with his stomach covered, saw Deng Hong at a glance, and said in surprise: "Old Deng, are you here too?" ”

Deng Hong saw Chen Fei holding his stomach, his face was sad, and he laughed: "Old Chen, what are you doing with your stomach?" Pregnant? ”

Chen Fei smiled: "I have to cover it with my hands, so as not to explode my stomach." ”

Deng Hong and Lin Yuan looked at each other and smiled, and Chen Fei continued: "It's not that Gao Yu yet, after I come back, I will make food all day long." ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "Then you don't have to eat like this." ”

Chen Fei smiled bitterly: "After she brought the food, she put it on the table, and then looked at you with a blank eye, it felt like she would commit suicide if you didn't eat all the things she made!" But the food she makes is really delicious......"

Lin Yuan coughed deliberately and said with a smile: "Okay, don't show affection in front of us!" ”

Chen Fei said with a smile: "I came to think, you give me a task, let me go far, stay here again, one day I will have to die!" Aren't you going to blow up the bridge? It just so happened that I took someone to blow it up! ”

Deng Hong smiled: "If you want to blow up the bridge, you don't need to go, we have planes." Chen Fei put away his smile and said, "I don't know if you are preparing this method, but I can tell you clearly, such a thing as blowing up a bridge with a plane will not work!" ”

Lin Yuan didn't seriously think about sending planes to blow up the bridge, and when he saw Chen Fei say this, he asked, "Okay, why can't you use planes to blow up bridges?" Chen Fei said: "Our current flight hours are a little less, so we can't afford to pay for it, the Japanese army built a bridge on the river, we blew it up, there is no difficulty at all, but the Japanese army will continue to build ah, they don't need to build a large bridge, they can only build a pontoon bridge, and if one is blown up, one can be repaired, and our planes can't afford it!" ”

Chen Fei continued: "Not only that, but our aircraft is very likely to be completely ineffective, because it is impossible for us to let the fighter jets patrol the river around the clock, we can only be patrolled by drones, and then notify the carrier-based aircraft, it will take a certain amount of time for the carrier-based aircraft to fly over, and during this time, the Japanese pontoon bridge has been built, and the troops and ammunition have been delivered." ”

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "What you said makes sense, it seems that we need to send you to blow up the bridge and wait by the river." ”

After making up his mind, Deng Hong said again: "Our blocking of reinforcements is only one aspect, if we want to form more and fight less, we must transfer Anton's defenders, how can we let Anton's defenders leave Anton and go somewhere else?" ”
