    Xia Yang knew that if this was the case, then they, like the Japanese army, would be fighting on three fronts.

    Jinzhou, Qiqihar and Harbin, as well as the Pingjin area, these three areas will all become their battlefields.

    With three battlefields, their troop strength will also be a big problem.

    It is definitely not possible to count on the Kuomintang. Those people now wish that they and the Eighth Route Army could use up more of their forces in the battle against the Japanese army.

    "How much reserve strength do we have now?"

    Xia Yang asked at this time.

    Their strength consumption is not small. Although they have reserves to supplement them, he also needs to pay attention to this aspect.

    "There are still about 100,000 reserve troops, all of whom have been strictly trained, and the number of troops is relatively sufficient. However, if the battle continues, especially in the direction of Jinzhou, and turns into a tug-of-war between the two sides, then these troops will  It¡¯s not enough anymore.¡±

    Wei Xingdao.

    Xia Yang nodded and said: "We cannot let Jinzhou become the second Verdun or the second Somme. The lessons of the First World War are bloody. In a war, hundreds of thousands of soldiers were consumed. We may not be able to survive now."  Stay."

    As he spoke, he turned his attention to the map again.

    ¡°It¡¯s better to fight quickly. Now I feel more and more that Qiu Guoping¡¯s battle plan is very reasonable.

    Especially at this time, when the troops are in danger, they may be able to find a breakthrough.  "

    Xia Yang said, "Three transport aircraft squadrons will be reserved at that time to deliver soldiers and weapons to them."

    "Okay, I'll tell the Air Force now."

    Wei Xing said.

    At this time, Xia Yang looked at Wei Xing and said, "How about it, Old Wei, how do you feel about being a temporary staff officer here?"

    Wei Xing scratched his hair and said, "Don't mention it, I know what kind of life Old Hao is living. It has only been a while, and my hair has started to fall out in large quantities."

    As he spoke, he scattered the hair in his hand into the air.

    "Hahaha, now I don't know why Hao Shiwen often wears a military cap. It's because his hair is getting less and less. He is only in his twenties. It is really miserable."

    Xia Yang said with great sympathy.

    "Okay, I'm going to do my work first. Let's talk about the hair later."

    Wei Xing smiled helplessly, turned and left.

    Seeing Wei Xing leave, Xia Yang's eyes fell on the map again.

    He stood up, picked up the magnifying glass, looked at the terrain and city inside, and fell into deep thought.

    The atmosphere in Beiping City has become tense in recent days.

    At the train station in Beiping City, you can see a large number of soldiers from the Fourth Army leaving here in military trains every day.

    After they leave here, they will change into casual clothes at the railways in Qinhuangdao and Shanhaiguan and other places and then take the train back.

    Then, they will take the opportunity to enter their camp during the dark night.

    In this way, they can create the illusion that troops in the Pingjin area are being continuously transferred away at this time.

    The Japanese intelligence officers who stayed here would only see military trains leaving Peiping City, but they did not realize that among the ordinary people who came down from the train station every day, there were also many disguised soldiers of the Fourth Army.

    Not only in the city of Beiping, the intelligence personnel of the Fourth Army also discovered that the Fourth Army¡¯s defensive positions originally arranged in the coastal areas were withdrawn from the defensive positions every day and moved closer to the Pingjin area.

    For example, at the port in Tianjin, there were originally more than 3,000 troops stationed here. However, as time went by, the number of troops here was reduced day by day. Now only one company of soldiers is left, stationed on the fort there.

    However, even the fort there has been demolished.

    The Krupp artillery above was installed on the Fourth Army¡¯s defense line along Shanghai Customs to resist Japanese attacks.

    This also gave the Japanese intelligence personnel some information that made mistakes and confused their judgment.

    The enemy's strength is decreasing, especially the strength in defending the Ping-Tianjin area, which is decreasing every day.

    The focus of their attack is on the Jinzhou area, and the defense of the Pingjin area as the rear seems to have been ignored by them.

    Such information was transmitted back to the Japanese army¡¯s staff headquarters, and their combat plan was implemented more resolutely.

    In their opinion, this is the most suitable time for them to conduct landing operations.

      If the enemy builds a large number of defense lines in coastal areas, it will not be easy for their troops to land.

    But if the enemy¡¯s troops here are mobilized in large numbers, they can copy the classic landing operation in Hangzhou Bay, appear behind the enemy, cut off their rear directly, and then launch a counterattack.

    The information was passed to the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet, and the person commanding the fleet to land was Japanese General Taira Shinya.

    He was born into a family of military commanders, and his ancestors were once daimyo, but after the Meiji Restoration, they transformed and became members of aristocratic families.

    However, their family has a lot of resources in the military.

    After graduating from the Army Officers Academy, he did not participate in too many combat operations, but mostly engaged in staff work.

    The only thing worthy of praise is that he played an important role in the landing operations in Southeast Asia.

    Logically speaking, a person with such a resume should not command such a fleet.

    But the Japanese army is now experiencing a shortage of troops and a shortage of commanders.

    A large number of outstanding officers they originally trained in the early days of the war, such as Yoshio Shinozuka, Neji Okamura, Isoroku Yamamoto, etc., have all died on the battlefield in the long battle.

    They calculated over and over again that among the officers dispatched from the mainland, even Ping Tianzhen also had such qualifications.

    What's more, Ping Zhenzhen did have a good hand when commanding the troops to land for operations.

    ¡°If he is not allowed to take command, then we cannot let those on the staff take command.

    ¡°Those people have good military skills on paper, but it¡¯s unclear whether they can bring out their military talents on the battlefield.

    At this time, Ping Tianzhen also looked at the telegram sent from the General Staff Headquarters, with an uneasy expression on his face.

    The main content of the telegram was to urge them to march as soon as possible because the enemy's troops in the coastal areas have already withdrawn.

    Not only that, the enemy's troops in the Pingjin area have also been mobilized in large numbers. If they conduct a landing operation at this time, they can transport hundreds of thousands of troops to the land almost without any blood.

    After arriving on land, they can encircle the Pingjin area and cut off the enemy's logistics routes. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
