    After Lieutenant General Oshiro Sanji arrived at the front line, he first learned about the situation of the Japanese and puppet garrison on the front line. After understanding the actual situation, he suddenly felt that the situation was not optimistic.

    The garrison along the Great Wall has been basically useless after six or seven years of neglect. On the one hand, there are far fewer soldiers than registered.

    Take the defenders on the Qingsongling and Huangyaguan lines as an example. According to the North China Front Army Headquarters, the defenders on this line include a field force of an infantry brigade and a regiment of the Imperial Association Army.

    As a result, after Oshiro Sanji's on-the-spot investigation, he discovered that two squadrons of the so-called main force brigade had been transferred away, and the puppet infantry regiment only had two battalions, with each battalion having 200 people, adding up to less than  Four hundred people.

    Therefore, the total strength of the defenders on this line currently does not exceed 800, which is three-fifths less than the actual 2,000. And situations like Huangya Pass can be found almost all along the Great Wall.

    On the other hand, almost all the fortifications in these places are in disrepair. Originally, the Great Wall was the front line of China's Anti-Japanese War, especially before 1937. However, with the full outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese army easily captured most of North China.  , connected Northeast China and North China together, so that the various military towns along the Great Wall instantly lost their meaning.

    After so many years, the Japanese army went to various headquarters and went down to the garrison headquarters. They only knew how to make money and bully the Chinese people. Who would think of strengthening these useless fortifications? There will be no war here anyway.  .

    The situation was far worse than imagined, so Ojodo Sanji immediately made adjustments to the original plan.

    He believed that the Chinese army would cross the entrances of the Great Wall and attack North China, targeting the counties outside Peiping, in order to achieve the purpose of connecting with the garrison in Zhangjiakou and other places and encircling Peiping.

    Therefore, the inside and outside of the Great Wall were used as the first line of defense, and major passes, Luanhe and Yanshan were used to form a defensive position in depth, and the enemy was destroyed with a long-term combat policy.

    Its defensive deployment is: to form an independent eighth brigade and a part of the original Jidong garrison to defend Qinhuangdao and Shimenzhai to the north, and to guard against Yiyuankou.  At the same time, the 130th Independent Mixed Brigade of the Kwantung Army and the remnants of the Iron and Stone Forces that had withdrawn from Chengde were used to defend the front lines inside and outside the Great Wall at Yiyuankou and Jialingkou.

    In addition, Ojodo Sanji also ordered the 115th Division to destroy the national troops near Lengkou and strengthen the defense in the area.

    The 145th Division defends from Tiemenguan and Xifengkou to the west to Malanguan, and independently forms the 10th Brigade to ensure the positions in Gubeikou and Qingshanliang to the north.

    One part of the 101st Division was stationed in Tong County, and the other was stationed in Shahe Town, Changping County.  The first unit of the independent mixed seventh brigade is responsible for the defense of Zhangjiakou, Zhangbei, and Baochang areas.

    When the Japanese troops were deployed along the Great Wall, Chow Tai Fook's troops had already arrived along the Great Wall and launched an attack across the entire line. The two sides launched a bloody battle along the Great Wall.

    While Li Guoyao's troops were fighting bloody battles with the North China Front along the Great Wall, the situation in Northeast China also changed a lot.

    First, in the direction of Shulan, after nearly a week of fierce attacks, the three Japanese army regiments finally recaptured Dunhua, Jiaohe, Shulan and other places from the hands of Lu Zhanwu's troops. The main force of Lu Zhanwu's troops evacuated these towns and retreated to Fenghuang Mountain.

    Phoenix Mountain can be said to be the mountainous area with the largest mask and the most dangerous terrain in the entire Northeast. There are hundreds of peaks over a thousand meters in the area, stretching endlessly. Therefore, Lu Zhanwu's troops retreated while fighting, and soon the main force was  Withdrew to Fenghuang Mountain area.

    In a week of fighting, the Chinese army relied on the terrain and powerful firepower to cause huge losses to the 71st Division and the 75th Division. Although these troops occupied towns such as Jiaohe and Shulan, they did not continue  It means heading towards Phoenix Mountain.

    On the northern front, the Japanese army temporarily blocked Wu Tiancheng's attack. Although they did not immediately return to attack, they were also actively mobilizing troops.

    The troops in the direction of Qiqihar also took the initiative to contain Zhang Shaolin's attack and ensure the safety of the Longjiang front line.

    ¡°However, the war in southern Manchuria and southern Jehol was so unfavorable to the Japanese army that General Yamada Yisan had to consider again deploying troops from the border areas for combat.

    Kwantung Army Headquarters. Operations Command Room.

    In the spacious and luxurious command room, a large number of senior generals and operational staff members affiliated with the Kwantung Army Headquarters gathered together. Unlike ordinary military meetings, everyone was gathered around the huge terrain.  The sand table stood there, and only General Yamada Otozo sat alone on the seat next to the sand table.

    This battle is againstFor the Kwantung Army, this is definitely the biggest test since its establishment. Some of the grassroots officers and soldiers of the Kwantung Army have even doubted the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Japanese Army.

    Chief of Staff Yukio Kasahara quietly walked up to General Yamada, then leaned down and said in his ear: "Your Excellency, Commander, everyone is here!"

    Yamada Otsuzo immediately sat up straight, and then said: "Gentlemen, everyone must have heard about the current situation in Manchuria. To tell you the truth, the current situation of the imperial army is more dangerous than the rumors. Support/that person from  The southeast and northeast of Manchuria, as well as the southwest and northwest areas outside Rehe and other places have launched a full-scale counterattack. So far, the opponent has invested more than 300,000 troops, which has put huge pressure on the imperial army."

    As soon as he finished speaking, Kasahara Yukio stood up and said: "From what we know so far, the branch/that person dispatched no less than 50,000 troops in the northeast, and gave the troops a sneak attack on Fangzheng, Tonghe, Yilan, Jiamusi, and Shuangyashan.  and other places, causing huge losses to the imperial army in the northeast. Especially in the battle of Shuangyashan, the imperial army suffered huge losses. More than 50,000 prisoners of war and laborers were snatched away, and a large number of mines and forest farms were destroyed.  .¡±

    "Although the imperial army has launched a counterattack, the effect is not very obvious, and the threat from that person is still great."

    Then Kasahara Yukio continued: "On the Shulan and Jilin front lines, the imperial army was also attacked by a crazy attack. The Lu Zhanwu Division of the Jiuji Army, with a total of more than 70,000 people, attacked more than ten counties in southeastern Manchuria.  The area launched a crazy attack, which directly led to more than 30,000 imperial troops to reinforce the defenders. As a last resort, the Imperial Japanese Army could only mobilize troops from southern Manchuria and North Korea."

    "At present, the imperial army has recaptured Dunhua, Jiaohe, Jilin, Shulan and other places. The man escaped into the mountains and forests, but his vitality was not injured."

    "The most tense situation is undoubtedly the fighting situation on the Great Wall line in the south of Rehe and South Manchuria. The national army dispatched two troops on this line to attack the defenders on the line in Renan and South Manchuria near Jidong. In addition, the troops on the Qiqihar line  During the war, the Z/N people have formed a huge encirclement around the outskirts of important cities such as Harbin, Xinjing, and Fengtian.¡±

    After Yukio Kasahara finished reporting the enemy situation, Yamada Otsuzo said in a deep voice: "Gentlemen, the imperial army has entered the most dangerous period now. Please speak freely about how to deal with the current situation."

    The commander of the 5th Army, Lieutenant General Qing Shui, immediately stood up and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, gentlemen, although the total strength of our Kwantung Army has declined after various deployments at the base camp, it is still no less than 700,000 at present.  , plus more than 100,000 Imperial Army troops, the total strength exceeds 850,000, while the support/that people are only more than 300,000 people. The strength of both sides is still that the Imperial Japanese Army has an absolute advantage, so they want to solve the current problem  The questions are not too difficult!¡±

    "Oh, it seems that Mr. Shimizu has already come up with a countermeasure. I would like to hear your advice!" Yamada Otsuzo said immediately.

    "I can't say Gao Jian, but I think there are three main reasons why the imperial army seems so passive on the surface. First, the enemy is in darkness and we are in the clear. The support/that person has been hiding in the dark like a woodchuck, and the emperor  The military is relatively transparent in the eyes of the other party, so we can easily deploy troops according to our army¡¯s defense situation!¡±

    "Yo Xi, keep talking!"

    "Secondly, the Imperial Japanese Army is responsible for a vast area of ??more than 1.2 million square kilometers. It is currently stationed in more than 150 towns, and its forces are relatively scattered. However, the opponent, as the attacking party, can concentrate its forces to attack.  This is the weakness of the imperial army, so we will attack them accurately."

    "The last point is that the most important responsibility of our Kwantung Army is to monitor the Soviet and Russian troops. Therefore, more than one-third of the elite and nearly one-half of the troops are deployed near the Sino-Soviet and Sino-Mongolian borders. If the Soviet and Russian troops are not solved,  Before the threat, we would not dare to use these troops."

    Then Shimizu continued: "So in this case, the Imperial Japanese Army did not use 850,000 troops to fight against the enemy/those 300,000 people, but the Imperial Japanese Army used 450,000 troops to fight against the enemy, causing  The current passive situation is completely understandable."
