On the other hand, the little devil Kwantung Army Commander General Yamada Otozo is now unable to control the continuous loss of cities and lands around Shengjing.

Because he is now busy dealing with the big brigade commander with all his heart, in his mind, the Eighth Route Southern Front Attack Group escorted by tanks, artillery groups and fighters is the absolute main force of the Eighth Route.

Only the defeat of the Eighth Route on the Southern Front could turn the whole situation around.

From beginning to end, most of Yamada's attention was focused on this.

Even if Gao Jianwu suddenly rose up and took advantage of the situation to enter and conquer Xinjing, it only made Yamada Otozo a little vigilant.

It wasn't until 4 divisions were organized to block Gao Jianwu's annihilation in Siping that Yamada Otozo woke up to a Menghu in the northeast, but there was no chance to save it, and the brigade commander had begun to attack the southern front of the city, so even if it was a military crisis in the northeast, Yamada Otozo temporarily ignored it and chose to completely rot it.

There was no way, for this new big enemy in the northeast, he found that if he did not concentrate the main force of the Kwantung Army, he could not stop the decline.

Therefore, the top priority at the moment is to clean up the enemy on the southern front, and then concentrate the forces to turn back and clean up the trouble of Gao Jianwu's henchman. The current strength no longer allows Yamada Otozo to start a war on both fronts at the same time.

After figuring out this key, Yamada Otozo put all his attention on the southern front, played all the chips in his hand, and prepared for a decisive battle with the big brigade commander on the southern front.

After winning the victory on the southern front, he turned around and cleaned up Gao Jianwu and them.

Before that, Gao Jianwu was willing to conquer the city, so let him spend time attacking the city.

To the south, Yamada Otozo concentrated all the troops at hand that could be maneuvered, and was in full swing to mobilize his troops to prepare for the battle!

Three divisions and one brigade from the Goryeo Peninsula had already arrived in Liaoyang to form the Left Wing Corps.

The Liaozhong front line has put two divisions to undertake frontal defense, and has built a large-depth forward defensive position outside the city, and in Xinmin on the right flank, the right-wing corps composed of one division and one brigade is ready to go.

In Shengjing, northeast of central Liaoning, there are still four reorganized divisions and regiments as general reserves.

The only fighter and tank troops at hand, Yamada Otozo has now collected them, ready to use them as killer weapons at a critical time.

Now Yamada Otozo can't strike first, and the tanks and fighters on the opposite side have surpassed his Kwantung Army in both quantity and quality.

Whether it is a T-34 tank or a Sherman tank, the Type 95 and Type 97 tanks are almost overwhelming for the little devils, and there is almost no chance of victory in a head-to-head battle.

In terms of fighters, actual combat has repeatedly proved that the Nakajima Ichi, which has the most in the hands of the Kwantung Army Air Force, is not an opponent of the Mustang fighter at all.

Even the Type 4 Hurricane fighter is now at a disadvantage against the Mustang fighter, and the experience of the opponent's pilots is obviously superior to the Kwantung Army, which has already consumed a wave of elite pilots in the South Seas.

Now on the side of the Kwantung Army Air Force, there are only a handful of aces who can be called elite pilots and have shot down 4 fighters.

The glory of conquering the south has now become a black hole for little devils to constantly fill their forces. Too many elite divisions and elite pilots were defeated in the southern battle for the islands.

But Yamada Otozo only has these cards in his hand, and even if he doesn't use them anymore, he can only top them now.

"Your Excellency Commander, the tank cluster of the Eighth Route of the Southern Front has begun to attack!" The communications staff officer snapped, waking up Yamada Otozo in thought.

"They were divided into two routes, one of which was directed at the 135th Division, and the other was directed against the 136th Division, accompanied by 6 artillery battalions of the 8th Route and 6 attack clusters!"

"Shout, order the 135th Division and the 136th Division to retreat immediately, move closer to our Shengjing, and try their best to distance the tank group and soldiers of the Eighth Road!" When Yamada Otozo heard the news, he was not surprised.

But this order can't be directly rectified by the communications staff? The little eyes were full of confusion, why, if the position was not defended, he retreated and ran away?

"Ozawa-kun, order the 135th Division and the 136th Division to retreat and move closer to my Shengjing, don't you understand the order?" Yamada Otozo repeated.

Seeing the murderous aura on Yamada Otozo's face, General Staff Officer shivered coldly. I don't understand it anymore, he may not even be able to save his head.

"Hey, I understand!" The communications staff officer stood upright, nodded like a chicken, and then turned around and trotted to deliver the order!

Now the temper of the commander-in-chief is getting worse and worse, and of course the communications staff officer knows what the reason is, and he can't stand the constant loss of troops and the abandonment of cities and land.

......

"Brigade commander, brigade commander, the little devils have retreated, they ran towards Shengjing! Are we chasing or not chasing now? "The brigade commander rarely received Li Yunlong's walkie-talkie request report.

Li Yunlong, who commanded the tank cluster on the front line, took the tank and did not reach the position of the little devil, and the little devil ran away first.

Li Yunlong usually fights, as if he doesn't use his brain, and he has always been hard to fight. In fact, before the war, Li Yunlong had calculated his own capital.

According to Li Yunlong's own words, that is, not to do the business of losing money in war.

In such a general battle now, there are tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people at every turn, and Li Yunlong himself can't figure it out at all. So he quite consciously acted as a charging general, instead of sitting in the rear staff and calculating these things.

For him, once he started counting these things, his brain hurt, and he couldn't figure it out at all.

So wait until the brigade commander calculates these well, and he himself charges into battle.

Once he found out that the situation was not the same as the calculation, Li Yunlong did not dare to make his own decisions now. He knew that although his tank fleet was very powerful, it was not invincible, and the little devil had a lot of things in his hands that could threaten these tanks.

The current large-scale corps operations are completely different from the previous guerrilla warfare. Lao Li was completely unsure of these.

So there are variables, and Lao Li is now honestly asking for instructions and reporting.

After all, the abnormal behavior of the little devil in front of him was completely an undisguised temptation in Lao Li's eyes.

"Li Yunlong, you kid should pay attention, the tank cluster must not be too disjointed from the synchronization of the soldier cluster. The tank group is not protected by infantry, and the little devils can make him lie on his stomach with grenades.

So in any case, you'll have to wait for the infantry to attack and work with them. ”

"Understand, brigade commander, Xiao Li, I understand people, this fishing tactic of the little devil is too rough, I can't be deceived.

Don't worry, the brigade commander can ask for instructions and report at any time here, now that communication is so convenient, the little devil can report to the brigade commander at any time! Li Yunlong replied with a smile.

"In this way, we will win this battle. So we don't need any adventure.

Gao Boy stabbed in the heart of the Kwantung Army, and now he has jumped to the outskirts of Shengjing to pull out the fangs of the little devils one after another, and our task is to drag down the main force of the Kwantung Army. Let the tall boy have a chance to pull out the fangs of the little devil Shengjing!

In this way, at the time of the final Armageddon, our army will not have any worries.

Now the assault group on the northern front has converged with the tall boys. I heard that the tall boy had a full set of heavy equipment ready for the assault group on the northern front.

】

Now, in addition to tanks and planes, they are less than on our side.

There is not much less in other respects than we are. Their strength is enough to encircle us and allow us to defeat the main force of the Kwantung Army in Shengjing in one fell swoop. ”

The brigade commander said to Li Yunlong that these were to let Li Yunlong not act rashly, because he fell for the little devil's strategy and lost the initiative.

You must know that the situation is a big good, not a small good. The Grand Brigade Commander had already seen an opportunity to annihilate the Kwantung Army.

If Yamada Otozo had insisted on meeting the two large attack groups of the Eighth Route near Shengjing, the situation would have clearly shifted to the side of the Eighth Road.

Even if Yamada Otozo has a home advantage, it is useless, and Gao Jianwu uses the means of hanging to pull the gap between the two sides in terms of logistics support to the same level.

Yamada Otozo's desire to consume the ammunition of the Eighth Route through a large-scale battle and make it lose in the end due to logistical exhaustion is completely unilateral speculation.

......

Yamada Otozo's in-depth strategy to lure the enemy, although it failed slightly because of Li Yunlong's caution, failed to let the tank cluster led by Li Yunlong break away from the large force.

However, in Yamada Otozo's opinion, it doesn't matter, and Yamada Otozo doesn't expect to introduce the Eighth Road side into his preset battlefield through such a trick.

He simply retreated the two divisions to the western outskirts of Shengjing and established a new defensive position.

There, Yamada Otozo forcibly mobilized tens of thousands of migrant workers in Shengjing, and since formulating a plan to encircle and suppress the tank cluster of the attack group on the southern front, he organized them to dig dozens of kilometers of trenches that crisscrossed the city day and night, turning several kilometers of the western part of the city into a large position.

In the center of this position, Yamada Otozo very insidiously dug anti-tank trenches.

In the middle of these wide anti-tank trenches, a number of anti-artillery holes were also dug, and these designs were all tailor-made for the brigade commander and Li Yunlong's southern line attack group.

Once Li Yunlong's tank cluster falls into this position, I am afraid that there will not be much chance to come out.

The little devil can hide in the anti-artillery hole, wait for the tank to jump into the trap, and directly attack with cluster grenades or throw anti-tank magnetic mines, in such an environment, the tank that steps into the trap can only be beaten passively.

But now, Li Yunlong is like a sheep, he does not hurry to follow the 135th Division and the 136th Division of the little devils, nor does he rush forward, and the farthest distance between the synchronous attack groups is never more than 2 kilometers.

The little devil wants to have a general battle, and the brigade commander and Li Yunlong are not the same and want to finish the battle!
