Huang Botao said nothing more. Du Yuming and Fan Hanjie were both experienced in the battlefield and had rich experience in the battlefield. They would not have much error in their judgment of the enemy situation. An excited scream came from a distance. The three of them looked over and said that several US military advisers were posing for the reporter to take photos. For the three, this scene was too familiar.

After each war, these consultants took photos everywhere in the battlefield and left so-called good memories, but in fact they were fighting for the front page of the newspaper. The low-level officers and soldiers below looked for Chinese soldiers everywhere to exchange spoils. Japanese command knives, Japanese pistols, and sun flags all had clear prices. The most expensive one was the Japanese army medal, from the lowest ordinary commemorative medal to the rising sun medal, the prices were several US dollars to hundreds of US dollars.

"Damn, these Americans." Fan Hanjie couldn't help but curse, and then pulled Du Yuming and Huang Botao: "Guangting, Huanran, let's take a few photos."

Du Yuming and Huang Botao smiled, and the three of them called the military reporters to take photos on the Guanlou. But after taking a few photos, Huang Botao was sweating all over and waved his hand to stop taking pictures. He ran aside. Although Du Yuming and Fan Hanjie were sweating profusely, they continued to take pictures without consent.

"Why is this American so energetic and doesn't feel tired?" Fan Hanjie took a few more photos, walked to Huang Botao who was smoking and muttered in a low voice. Huang Botao couldn't help but smile.

In fact, none of them like this ostentatiousness, but every time they see these American consultants surrounded by a large group of reporters, they are really unwilling to accept it, but it is hard to say.

Huang Botao looked at Du Yuming who was still insisting, and whispered to Fan Hanjie: "This American is just a bluff, but he is not very capable, but I, Douglas, is not bad."

Huang Botao doesn't like American consultants. He doesn't like them since he came into contact with American consultants in northern Myanmar, especially because of Stilwell, Zhuang Jihua was dismissed from his post and transferred back to China. He didn't understand these things and only knew how to make trouble.

Starting from the Fifth War Zone, each army had a US consultant, and the First Army also had an advisory group. However, Huang Botao was the commander of the 55th Army at that time, and the one who dealt with the adviser was Lan Yundong. It was not until recently that he acted as the commander of the First Army that he had more contact with the consultant Major General Douglas.

The Americans' pride and confidence made Huang Botao a little uncomfortable. In the eyes of Chinese generals, this attack on Shanhaiguan was nothing to please. It was to use the advantage of artillery fire to pour steel to the enemy's positions one ton after another, and the infantry charged upward round after round. They rushed through the Japanese defense line with blood and life.

In the eyes of Chinese generals, this kind of battle is a typical benzene war; but Douglas was very excited. Since the beginning of the battle, he kept interfering with Huang Botao's command, which made Huang Botao very impatient and almost got angry.

Fortunately, after the attack was blocked, Douglas did not accuse him. On the contrary, he told Huang Botao that he believed that the Chinese soldiers fought bravely and did not make progress because the terrain was too unfavorable and he would report to the War Zone Command. This statement changed Huang Botao's impression of him a little, so he had this indestructible evaluation today.

Fan Hanjie does not think these Americans are bad people. Of course, Huang Botao's words are not bad. It means that the American consultants did not cause much trouble to him. Fan Hanjie's Fifth Army has more US military consultants, and other armies are at most military level, and some are at the first level of the army, but the Fifth Army is at the first level of the regiment level, and each regiment is equipped with an advisory group. The number of people is two to three. These consultants are responsible for soldiers' tactical training in daily life, are responsible for contact during wartime, and assist the command of the Chinese *** officers.

Due to the relatively low configuration level, the Fifth Army was one of the two armies that suffered casualties from US military consultants, and the other was the Mechanized First Army, which were also arranged in the regiment.

"Du, thank God, we finally entered. The terrain in this area is prepared for defense by God!" Grant looked at the continuous mountains outside and shouted with emotion.

Fan Hanjie and Huang Botao turned their heads to look at it, but Major General Grant, the commander of the US military advisory group. Grant's face was filled with smiles, the scenic mouth of the military uniform had been untied, the helmet on his head was held in his hands, and sweat beads flowed down his cheeks, and the whole person looked like he had just walked off the battlefield.

"How did this guy make himself like this?" Fan Hanjie muttered a little depressedly. With Grant's image, he will definitely be on the headlines of the newspaper tomorrow.

"No, no, I can't lose to him," Fan Hanjie turned his head and gave the adjutant a look. The adjutant didn't understand at first, but then he realized that he quickly found a helmet. Fan Hanjie put the helmet on his head and walked towards Grant. Huang Botao did not want to be outdone and wiped the sweat from his head, and also brought it to the American helmet to wear it, and then joined the ranks of taking photos.

The Chinese and American generals fought openly and secretly on the Great Wall and murdered a lot of films from the reporters. After half an hour, everyone walked down the stairs with satisfaction, boarded their own jeeps, and drove forward.

The citizens on the street saw so many senior generals and their emotions became even more moving, and a burst of violent cheers burst out. Beautiful paper flowers flew from the sky. The enthusiastic citizens chased the jeep and inserted the national flag in their hands on the front of the jeep.

The Fifty Army replaced the First Army as the attacking vanguard of the entire army. Situ Fei led the 77th Army to pursue him and followed the Japanese army to Suizhong, almost without giving the Japanese a chance to breathe. In order to stop the 77th Army's pursuit, Hongo Yoshio ordered the 161st Division to build a blocking position in Huojiashan and block the ** team.

On the middle line, Song Xilian commanded three armies to conquer Jianchang Lingyuan and Jianping, and continued to cross the Dongshan Mountains eastward and forcefully cross the Daling River. After the troops were divided into three routes. The 22nd Army attacked the southeast and inserted into the Huludao side; the 23rd Army and the 22nd Army attacked Jinzhou.

In the north, Yang Sen led the 24th Army to occupy Chaoyang and then divided into two groups to move south. Yang Sen personally led the 20th Army to pounce on Wenxian, and Wang Lingji led the 73rd Army to attack Qidaoling.

Yang Sen's actions further confirmed the accuracy of Tokyo's intelligence. The Chinese team adopted a double encirclement tactic. The 24th Army was the first encirclement net and the 49th Army was the second encirclement net.

Naosaburo Okabe stopped hesitating and decisively ordered the Japanese army in western Liaoning to retreat for a long distance. Hongo Yoshio gave up Jinzhou and retreated to Anshan, Haicheng. The Kwantung Army Command immediately retreated to Shinyizhou and set up a forward command in Dandong.

The 161st Division blocked the 77th Army on a large scale in Huojiashan for two days. Two days later, it gave up Huojiashan at night and ran to Jinzhou. Situ Fei was not aware of it for a while and was escaped by the Japanese army. Du Yuming was furious and ordered Situ Fei to pursue him immediately. Situ Fei was ashamed and no longer conservative. He boldly arranged the three divisions in a row and began to pursue him along the Beining Line.

In pursuit, the Chinese team rushed towards Jinzhou in divisions, all over the mountains and fields. Around Jinzhou, there were almost Chinese soldiers appearing in every ravine and every ridge. The people in the Northeast opened the door and led the way for the people, digging out the food hidden in the ground, and sending it to the army. The morale of the entire army was high.

The troops of the Central Liaoxi team were divided into six groups to surround Jinzhou. Hongo Yifu dared not fight and gave up Jinzhou and retreated to Haicheng. Situ Fei occupied Jinzhou before the troops, and Du Yuming reported the victory. Then he prepared to divide the troops into two groups and launched an attack on Chenyang according to the previous plan. To his surprise, shortly after his victory telegram was sent, the theater command called him and asked him to stop the attack immediately.

"The Japanese army has begun a large-scale retreat. Our army failed to seize the main force of the Japanese army in the early stages of the war to achieve the goal of annihilation. Now the fighter plane has been lost. Our six army groups, with nearly one million troops, are on the battlefield of thousands of kilometers wide, and the troops are in chaos, which is easy to lead to Japanese attacks. Now we order all units to move on the spot to rest and recuperate; order the 24th Army to march towards Chenyang and occupy Chenyang."

After receiving this telegram, Du Yuming was very dissatisfied, which meant that the glory of the first major city outside the Restoration Pass fell on Yang Sen's head. The First Army fought for a long time, but in the end nothing was left.

"The Cultural Revolution was too cautious!" Du Yuming said dissatisfiedly: "After rushing out of the western Liaoning Corridor, we should use our mechanized power to pursue it relentlessly, completely defeat the Japanese army and attack the Yalu River in one fell swoop. Now stopping, isn't all the previous efforts was wasted!!!"

Fan Hanjie was silent for a while, and finally nodded. The most difficult thing to attack the Northeast was western Liaoning. This area is undulating mountains and terrain is good, and the terrain is not good for attack. But once the Liaoxi Corridor is attacked, the entire Northeast Plain will be visible. From Jinzhou to Chenyang, there are only a few passes in the middle. Except for Dahu Mountain in Heishan, there are no other dangerous places. Not to mention that he now has five armies, even his Shanhaiguan cluster is enough to capture Shenyang.

"Commander, Commander Zhuang's purpose is probably to hope that we will rectify the troops. Now some troops have all runaway." Huang Botao reminded carefully.

"No, you can't give up this opportunity." As long as Du Yuming thinks he is right, the gentleness on his body will immediately disappear, and what will arise is stubbornness.

"Telection Command: In the battle in western Liaoning, our army severely damaged the Japanese army, and the enemy fled in a hurry. Our army is about to pursue the victory. We plan to pursue the Fifth Army to Haicheng and the Fifty Army to attack Chenyang. The First Army stayed at Shanhaiguan, Jinzhou."

After Du Yuming sent the telegram, he ordered the Fifth Army to go south from Jinzhou to take Linghai Panjin and attack Haicheng before he could wait for the call from the War Zone Command.

Zhuang Jihua received a telegram from Du Yuming. Before he could think about it carefully, Song Xilian's telegram also arrived. Song Xilian expressed his meaning and continued to attack.

"…The 73rd Army has occupied Yi County, the 22nd Army has occupied Guanyin Cave, the 23rd Army and the 22nd Army have crossed Jinzhou and arrived at the Xinglongdian line of Liulonggou. The main force of the Japanese Kwantung Army in western Liaoning has collapsed and is fleeing towards Chenyang and Benxi. Our troops are rushing to chase after the enemy without giving the enemy a chance to breathe, rather than stop resting."

The two generals under him opposed the rest and demanded that they continue to pursue, which made Zhuang Jihua feel a little tricky. The order for rest was his feeling about the situation on the battlefield. The Japanese army resolutely gave up western Liaoning and retreated to southern Liaoning, and even refused to defend Chenyang. This made many of his preparations fail and made him feel a little alert.!
