Liu Hai was very puzzled, when he came, he said to No. 1 that if he didn't participate in combat operations and didn't hold a military position, how could he have a combat mission for himself?

Liu Hai thought of all kinds of rhetoric along the way, saying that he would not agree to go to the front line to kill his former brothers!

In fact, Liu Hai didn't know that the No. 1 leader of the Democratic Alliance Army really had no choice, the main force was now in the Linjiang Campaign, and he really couldn't draw out the troops, at most there were only one division to one and a half divisions of troops, there were not many troops, plus this opponent was really powerful, there was no way, the No. 1 leader was determined to pull Liu Hai out as a firefighter!

"Chief! We said yes when I came, but now you ... As soon as Liu Hai came in, he couldn't wait.

"Oh, don't worry, it's never too late to be in a hurry after listening to No. 1's words!" No. 2 is the political commissar, pulling the bangs and saying.

"Chief Instructor Liu, of course I remember our agreement, and I don't intend to break my promise, but this time you must go, and I don't think you will refuse, because this time your opponent is Japanese!" Number One said with a grim face.

"The Japanese? Where did the Japanese come from? Didn't the Japanese surrender? Bangs asked after a slight startle.

"The Japanese have surrendered, but there are still some Japanese who are now being used by the Kuomintang as a powerful helper against us!" Chief One said.

bangs after hearing. I suddenly remembered that when I was in Nanjing, I also received a secret order to treat Okamura Ningji well and keep it for his Japanese troubles, it seems that when the Japanese surrendered, this situation also happened in the Northeast!

"According to what we know, in the mountainous area to the northwest of us, there is a remnant of the Japanese army, this force is about more than 2,000 people, and the establishment of a brigade!" Chief One continued

"When these Japanese troops surrendered, they did not hand over their weapons and obey the arrangement, but ran into the mountains with weapons! The Kuomintang found these Japanese troops, promised to provide them with material support, and sent them back to China in the near future, but only on the condition that they help the Nationalist army destroy us! Half a month ago, the Kuomintang transport planes delivered a batch of supplies to them, asking them to launch an attack behind our backs in order to prepare for a frontal attack! Now that the Kuomintang is attacking us head-on with sixteen divisions, our forces are very tight, and in the face of such a remnant of the Japanese army behind us, someone must destroy them. A week ago, we sent a division to attack, but the combat effectiveness of these Japanese troops was not simple, especially since they also had an artillery unit, and the commander of this division was killed on the first day, and our attack had to be stopped. Now that I've thought about it, I've decided to let you complete a mission! After listening to the words of the No. 1 chief, Liu Hai was excited, he originally planned to be an instructor honestly and avoid this war, but after all, he was a one-yuan general, and Liu Hai still hoped to have the opportunity to gallop on the battlefield in his heart, but he didn't expect that there was really such an opportunity now!

"Chief, I am willing to accept this task, but I will serve as the commander of this division, and I will be fully responsible for the elimination of this army!" Bangs said.

"Oh? I'm so confident! Chief One said.

"The operation against the Japanese army is not the same as the national army, the soldiers of the Japanese army have good discipline, strong tactical ability, from the adjutant to the soldier are strictly in accordance with the army discipline to execute, to be honest, once its troops are deployed, if there is no corresponding quality, it is difficult to break the enemy, if I only command one artillery, then it is difficult for the combat regiment to keep up with my artillery fire, although the democratic coalition army can fight well, but compared to the elite Kwantung Army there is still a big gap, if the troops and artillery fire can not be perfectly combined, then it is considered a victory, The casualties will also be large! After bangs finished speaking, the number one leader nodded.

"Yes, regardless of who is right and who is wrong, the Japanese army, especially the elite of the Kwantung Army, is still very strong, if I can have such ten divisions, I can fight to Tokyo! In this way, now I will order you to serve as the commander of the 40th Division of North Manchuria, and be fully responsible for the task of attacking and destroying this Japanese army! Chief One said

"Now all I can give you is this one division of troops, and there will be no more!"

"Two thousand Japanese troops, seven or eight thousand in one division, enough! However, I still have an idea, that is, in addition to the original artillery of this division, can I use the ten 240mm guns that have just been captured for me to use? Bangs said.

"Yes!" Considering that Liu Hai was from the national army, some political issues were not very sensitive, and it was very likely that there would be contradictions with the political commissar of the 40th Division, thus affecting the advance and suppression of the troops, so the first commander ordered one of his staff officers to temporarily serve as the political commissar of the 40th Division and fully cooperate with Liu Hai to eliminate this Japanese army.

In fact, at this time, the situation was already very serious, the Japanese army of 2,000 people had already killed the rear of the Democratic Alliance Army, and at this time the main forces were fighting on the southern front, and the rear defense was really empty, except for the garrison troops in one place, there was only one division of troops.

If Liu Hai can't eliminate this unit in time, he will have to draw troops from the southern front to help, then the strength of the southern front will be even tighter, and it will be easy for the national army to take advantage of the loopholes, which will cause the overall passivity, so this combat mission is very important.

Although the artillery of this division is not strong enough, after being strengthened, it still has more than 20 105-mm field guns, plus the five 240-mm large-caliber heavy guns promised to Liu, and there should be no problem in terms of firepower.

After Liu Hai read the information of this division again, he also felt that there was no big problem, the reason why he wanted five 240 mm large-caliber heavy guns was not to fight, but to boost morale!

When Liu Hai rushed to the station of this division, sure enough, as he thought, the staff officers and political commissars of this division and the regiment and battalion commanders were depressed one by one, obviously the sacrifice of the division commander had a great impact on them!

"This is Comrade Liu Hai sent by the headquarters, and he will be the commander of your division next!" The staff officer who came with him was surnamed Fang, and the political commissar of this division still knew him, so he hurriedly came over to salute!

After taking his seat, the staff officer asked the political commissar to introduce the situation and situation. According to the political commissar's introduction, this Japanese army has a very strong combat capability, and the leading brigade commander, Major General Murakami Shigeru, was a staff officer of the former Kwantung Army Headquarters; after Japan announced its surrender, it was unwilling to lay down its arms, so it ran to the north of Beimanchuria, gathered a group of Japanese infantry artillery troops, and ran to a Japanese military base there, waiting for an opportunity to move!

After receiving the promise from the Kuomintang, he brazenly attacked, captured six villages and one town, and killed hundreds of local cadres and commanders and fighters by very cruel means.

When the 40th Division was ordered to attack, it was found that this group of Japanese troops was really difficult to fight, and a company rushed up and did not start fighting, and suffered one-third casualties, especially the artillery of this Japanese army, which fought very accurately and viciously, and the commander of the 40th Division was directly hit and killed by a Japanese mountain artillery, and not even a complete corpse was left!

After listening to the introduction of the political commissar, Liu Hai basically determined that this is an elite unit of the Kwantung Army, with strong combat ability and a stubborn bushido spirit, if there is no strong combat ability, it is impossible to be so rampant, and without a strong bushido spirit, it is impossible to be so stubborn after the surrender of the Japanese army!

To deal with such a trapped beast unit of the Japanese army, you should use heavy codes!

"Ladies and gentlemen, I was ordered to serve as the division commander, to command the encirclement and suppression of this Japanese army, and I will introduce the specific combat deployment in a moment, and here I will first express an attitude, that is, to treat such a vicious Japanese army, there is no policy, no conditions, no prisoners, and they must be wiped out cleanly!" When Liu Hai spoke, the staff officers and regiment and battalion commanders below did not say a word, because Leng Buding came out to serve as the division commander alone, and he didn't know him, and the staff officers of the headquarters accompanied him, no one knew what was going on, plus Liu Hai's attitude was not in line with the party's prisoner policy, so a group of staff officers and regiment and battalion commanders looked at the staff officers and didn't say anything!

"Everyone, sending Division Commander Liu to serve as the commander of this operation is the general personally ordered by the No. 1 chief, the situation is not optimistic now, you must obey the order, all the troops must obey the orders of Division Commander Liu, if there is anything, I and Division Commander Liu are jointly responsible, I hope you will not have resistance, fully cooperate with Division Commander Liu, otherwise you will not be able to run away from the failure of your last attack, the division commander will be killed, and none of you will be able to escape, you should understand that this is the last chance for our 40th Division, otherwise," Staff Officer Fang glanced at these staff officers and regiment commanders and said four words: If you lose the army, you will be punished!

In the party of the staff officer

Under the "enlightenment", Chief of Staff Zeng Guo first expressed his willingness to cooperate with Division Commander Liu to complete the combat mission, and others also expressed their willingness to actively cooperate

The division commander of the "unknown origin" is not convinced, so if you want to convince these people, you must prove it with your achievements!

"Everyone, for the victory of this operation, the No. 1 leader gave us a lot of support, I brought five heavy artillery pieces when I came, five heavy artillery that you have never seen before, two hundred and forty mm super large caliber heavy artillery, with this batch of heavy artillery, we can destroy this group of Japanese troops!" The sound of bangs caused a sensation, the two hundred and forty mm heavy artillery, let alone seen it, I have never heard of it, besides, the former division commander was a cannon who died in the Japanese army, and now he actually has such a large-caliber heavy artillery, and the regiment and battalion commanders suddenly came to the spirit, one by one, they were full of spirit, and they were gearing up!

"Now please ask Chief of Staff Zeng to give me a briefing on the battlefield situation!" Liu Hai said to Zeng Guo.
