"Although the First Army suffered losses, its combat effectiveness is still there. The Northeast War has just begun. It's too early to go to rest now." Huang Botao was not good at speaking, and his tone was obviously dissatisfied.

Huang Botao expressed his dissatisfaction with the 55th Army or the newly formed Third Army. He was dissatisfied with the First Group Army. Since the establishment of the Expeditionary Force, he had been under Zhuang Jihua for four years and could be considered an old subordinate. He knew Zhuang Jihua's combat habits more well.

Zhuang Jihua often put pressure on the troops he trusts and restricts the use of the troops he does not trust. The combat tasks given to you are relatively light. When fighting, the task of attacking hard is not as fatal as you: during rest, it may be the first batch of rest: However, after the war, when rewarding merits, I am sorry, you have nothing. Improve, no way: change equipment, no way: supplement, at the end.

"Attacking the Nine Gate, the Commander's Point will let the Fifty-Fifteenth Army be the leader," Du Yuming smiled and said, "Brother Huanran, it means that the commander attaches great importance to the First Army. Let you rest because we can't use so many troops in front of us. Look, Brother Hanjie still hasn't shot yet, Lu Ruishan Xiayanglin, these two kids jumped up and down from behind and didn't dare to make trouble with the commander, so they called me one by one telegram after another."

"Brother Huanran, the First Army can't eat all the meat, you have to leave some for us."

Fan Hanjie also laughed.

Du Yuming had three armies and two armies under his command, and two armies gathered near Qinhuangdao, which was directly under the war zone and could be included in his attack cluster at any time.

Such a huge force has a narrow front attack, so it is impossible to use all the troops. Even if you enter the Northeast, the front attack is still not large, and you can only use one group of troops.

Huang Botao forced a smile, but he was still a little suspicious. Du Yuming turned his head and issued an order to let the 50th Army Group 77th Army replace the 55th Army, and the newly formed Seventh Army replace the new Third Army, and launch an attack on Pingluan. After the 60th Army followed the 77th Army, the Fifth Army and the 108th Army of the temporary 19th Army followed.

The six Japanese devils left quickly, and the Cultural Revolution may have miscalculated this time.

"After the order was issued, Du Yuming turned his head and smiled at Fan Hanjie and Huang Botao, his expression seemed to be a little gloating.

But if you really think that he is gloating, it would be a big mistake. Whether it is Li Zhilong, Du Yuming, Song Xilian, Fan Hanjie, these classmates in the first class, Qiu Qingquan, Zhang Lingfu, Liao Yaoxiang and other juniors, they are more modest in front of Zhuang Jihua, and they are often joking and fighting. But in fact, these people have close ties with Zhuang Jihua and respect and admire him. After Zhuang Jihua's order, even the rebellious Qiu Qingquan and Zhang Lingfu dare not disobey at all.

Zhuang Jihua's temperament has also profoundly influenced these people, especially Li Zhilong, Du Yuming and Fan Hanjie. These people often make fun of each other when they are together, but their positions are too high now, and there is almost no fighting in public, but verbal teasing is indispensable.

Huang Botao was a little puzzled, but before he could ask, Fan Hanjie asked first: "What's wrong with him?"

"Lu Ruishan and Xia Yanglin, two kids, sent a telegram a day, for fear that the Japanese would be finished by us. But in fact, the Cultural Revolution had made a plan before the war. He secretly collected about 5,000 ships, preparing to land on Huludao when the time was right. Naosaburo Okabe ran away, and he felt depressed." Du Yuming smiled regretfully.

Hanjie and Huang Botao lost their voices almost at the same time. The adjutant and guards in the distance couldn't help but look over, thinking that something had happened. The Kuomintang had never landed in battle, so Zhuang Jihua actually dared, and he took two troops to cider at a time.

Fan Hanjie sighed softly. In this offensive, Zhuang Jihua was abnormal and did not convene the commanders of various army groups to Tangshan for a meeting to discuss combat deployment as before. Instead, he only called Du Yuming, Song Xilian and Sun Zhen, the three group commanders, to have a meeting. The commanders and commanders of the army below only knew the tasks of their troops and were not clear about the overall strategy.

In response to the Japanese deployment, Zhuang Jihua planned to land on Huludao. After the landing troops landed ashore, they seized Jinzhou and surrounded and annihilated the main force of the Japanese army in western Liaoning: to realize this strategy, it is necessary to occupy Chaoyang and turn south after the 24th Army of the Army occupied Chaoyang and head south: At the same time, Harbin troops went south to occupy Changchun and implemented it after breaking through Gongzhuling.

Only a few people including Zhuang Jihua, Xu Zuyi, Shiwei, Du Yuming, Song Xilian and Sun Zhen knew about this plan. In order to cooperate with this plan, Du Yuming's offensive against Shanhaiguan was fierce in order to attract the main force of the Japanese army in front of Shanhaiguan. Song Xilian's attack on the middle road was also fierce. All their purpose was to stick the main force of the Japanese army in western Liaoning, so that the main force heading south from Heilongjiang would surround the Japanese army's rear route and encircle and annihilate the Kwantung Army in the western Liaoning Corridor.

After a few days of hard work, Naosaburo Okabe began to retreat. This was beyond Zhuang Jihua's expectations. If this continues, the main force of Heilongjiang to occupy Changchun, the Japanese army in western Liaoning retreated to Nanman with their backs against the Yalu River. In this way, the subsequent war will be unpredictable.

A cheer suddenly sounded in the city. The three of them hurriedly looked over. Several trucks carrying rocket launchers were entering the city. The citizens on the street looked at the mighty weapons and equipment and made a deafening cheer. Some enthusiastic citizens tied the national flag to the truck, and more people reached out to mo. The convoy was blocked by the citizens who rushed out and forced to stop.

The gendarmes responsible for maintaining order came over sweating, trying to separate the citizens and rescue the rocket launcher troops from the crowd, but soon, they were also submerged among the enthusiastic citizens.

Du Yuming shook his head slightly, he was helpless. There were too many such situations, which often happened when attacking Tianjin. It was during wartime that citizens braved Japanese artillery fire from all corners to support **.

"The Japanese have learned a lot now and no longer defended one city and one land." Fan Hanjie smiled with regret. This plan is undoubtedly very good. Unfortunately, Naosaburo Okabe did not cooperate, otherwise it would be another beautiful annihilation battle.

Over the years, the Japanese combat style was almost thoroughly understood by the Chinese generals. The Japanese army's tactics were rigid and rarely changed according to actual conditions. It was particularly obvious in the Battle of Shandong and Northern Myanmar. After the Battle of Northern Myanmar, the Japanese generals had discovered that the strength of the Chinese team was obviously insufficient to conquer the Lashio, but they still insisted on attacking, which eventually led to the destruction of the entire army.

Before the Shandong Battle, the best strategy for the Japanese army was to retreat north of the Yellow River to abandon Jinan and Jiaodong, but Matsui Shigen was so stubborn, sticking to the Taishan defense line, taking over by Zhuang Jihua, and the 12th Army of North China was almost destroyed, and the entire front was torn to pieces.

In the Battle of North China, the Japanese army fought Zhuang Jihua with nearly 500,000 troops on the plains with two million troops, which was the best strategy to retreat to the Great Wall, and use the terrain consumption and hysteresis here. However, Okamura Yasuji decided to passively beating, but was divided and surrounded and destroyed.

In this attack on the Northeast, both Zhuang Jihua and Chen Cheng and Wei Demai of Chongqing, both judged that the Japanese generals were defending the defense line in western Liaoning, but unexpectedly, Okabe Naosaburo began to retreat after just a few days of fighting, and gave up the killing moves prepared by Zhuang Jihua to this point.

I originally accumulated strength and was ready to go, but in the end I found that the opponent I was going to fight had disappeared. The accumulated strength had flowed back to the feeling that the discomfort was known.

"I learned the best, but they were good at the Cultural Revolution strategy," Du Yuming said calmly: "From Songhu to the present, the Cultural Revolution has been invincible. After defeating the famous Japanese generals of the Japanese army, they were also studying his strategies and tactics. So when the Japanese army was thrown into Harbin, they probably understood that the Cultural Revolution was still playing the same set of sounds and attacking the east and west, but this time they were sounds and attacking the front and back." Huang Botao nodded and said with a little emotion: "Commander Du's words are reasonable. The battle of northern Myanmar is a sound front and back, the battle of Shandong is a sound north and east, and the battle of northern China is a sound left and right, the commander's combat looks complicated and actually simple, but if you really think it is simple, it is actually complicated."

Fan Hanjie nodded in agreement. He did not participate in the Battle of Northern Myanmar, but he did not fall for the Battle of Northern Hubei and Shandong. He analyzed the Battle of Northern China. It seemed very simple. The main thing was that the Japanese army made mistakes. But if you ask why it made a mistake, it would be complicated.

"Those who are good at fighting have no great achievements, Du Yuming smiled and said, "This Cultural Revolution plan failed, but it gave us a chance. Han Jiegong, your Fifth Army is our strike force. You don't need to use too much force from here to Jinzhou. After passing Jinzhou, the Fifth Army will take action alone, detour Anshan from the south, occupy Benxi again, and seal the Japanese army's retreat channel south."

Huang Botao thought for a moment and couldn't help frowning slightly: "Commander, if you want to detour the southern line, I suggest that I gather all the troops, and I think, what if the Japanese army in western Liaoning does not withdraw back to Shenyang, but flee south directly? Even if the Japanese army in western Liaoning withdraws back to Shenyang, 222324, three armies will have more than enough troops."

Du Yuming hesitated a little. Huang Botao's words were correct. The Central Group commanded by Song Xilian had three group armies and two armies, and the total strength was even greater than that of him. With the strength of this unit, he was fully capable of conquering Shenyang alone, and there was no need for the Fifty Group Army.

"I think this is OK, Brother Huanran, you're too worried. The Japanese are now heading south with all their might. Shenyang is almost unprepared cities. The Fifty Army can completely occupy Shenyang during pursuit, and then go south to Benxi. With our Fifth Army, we can completely destroy the main force of the Kwantung Army."

Fan Hanjie's tone was full of arrogance. The Fifth Army had more than 80,000 people, more than 600 tank and armored vehicles, more than 100 self-propelled artillery, thirty rocket launchers, and thousands of trucks. Almost all the entire army was installed on wheels.

This unit was China's first mechanized unit. It was directly under the Military Commission of the National Government since its establishment. It was Chiang Kai-shek's heart. All officers above the military had to nod to serve.

In the Seven Years War, the Fifth Army made great achievements. In the Second Battle of Jinpu Road, thousands of miles of assistance were the main force of Shangqiu's counterattack: in the Battle of Northern Hubei, attacked Xinyang and cut off the Pinghan line: in the Battle of Xuzhou, the Fifth Army defeated Gu Shoufu, forcing him not to advance eastward: in the Battle of North China, the Central Committee broke through and completely wiped out the Zhengxin Counterattack Corps. The entire army obtained as many as seven troops from the Flying Tiger Banner, as many as thousands of officers and soldiers received the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal, and countless other medals were counted.

In addition, the biggest difference between this unit and other units is that there are many veterans, Fan Hanjie loves soldiers as much as his son. Even if the soldiers of the Fifth Army are injured, they will try every means to return to the Fifth Army after they recover, rather than to other units.

With these veterans, the newly enlisted soldiers can quickly develop combat effectiveness under the leadership of the veterans. The team has excellent team spirit and cooperation spirit, and the infantry and artillery cooperation and the intra-tank cooperation tactics are excellent. To a certain extent, they are stronger than Qiu Qingquan's First Mechanized Army.

It is precisely because of this strength that Fan Hanjie dares to boast that the main force of the Kwantung Army can be defeated by the Fifth Army alone...
