    The highest command structure of the Kwantung Army in the North Manchuria region is the First Front Army, and its commander is also Li Guoyao's old rival, named Seiichi Kita, who was originally the military police commander of the North China Front Army and the head of the intelligence agency.

    Later, he was dismissed due to repeated intelligence problems. However, in the past few years, this guy turned around again and was appointed commander-in-chief of the First Front Army. His military rank was also promoted to Army General.

    After receiving the order from the Kwantung Army Headquarters, Kita Seiichi did not dare to neglect, and immediately called Lieutenant General Murakami Keisaku, the commander of the Third Army. After asking about the situation of the headquarters' defense area, he finally decided to let the Third Army  Head south immediately.

    The Third Army is the essence of the First Front Army. It has four infantry divisions and two mixed brigades, as well as a tank brigade and a large number of technical arms. It has strong combat effectiveness.

    After a simple handover, Murakami Keisaku and Chief of Staff Major General Hanjiro Iketani immediately took their 79th Division, 112th Division, 127th Division, 128th Division, independent mixed 132nd Brigade,  The First Mobile Brigade and other units immediately went south to reinforce the Kwantung Army headquarters in the Xinjing area.

    But Murakami Keisaku could never have imagined that their actions would be closely watched by the Soviets. Just as he was gathering troops to go south, the Soviet troops on the other side of the Ussuri River and Heilongjiang River were also actively deploying troops.

    Wuchang. Frontline headquarters.

    Li Guoyao frowned and stared at the map, marking something on the map with a red pencil from time to time, and sometimes using a standard military measuring tape to measure distances.

    "Is the intelligence accurate? Is the Japanese Kwantung Army border defense force really going south?" Li Guoyao confirmed again and again.

    "Yes, Commander. I have just received news that the elites of four Japanese divisions stationed in Heihe and Yichun have all left their stations and are rushing towards Changchun with all their strength. It seems to be to reinforce Yamada Otsuzo's Kwantung Army headquarters.  Hou Dazhuang said with certainty.

    "Where have the Japanese reinforcements going south gone, and how long does it take to arrive in Changchun?" Li Guoyao continued to ask.

    "Three days at most!" Hou Dazhuang replied immediately.

    "Well, let the little devils go south first, and then send a report to Li Bingtian's headquarters and tell them the situation on the front line. They should know what to do! I want to see if Yamada Otsuzo is concerned about his head or his butt." Li Guoyao sneered.  road.

    "Then what should we do?"

    "What to do, continue to proceed according to the original plan. All troops on the Phoenix Mountain front line have arrived at the designated position and are waiting for orders. When the time is up, the entire army will attack."

    Then Li Guoyao continued: "Send a report to the troops on the southern front and order Zhou Dafu's troops to immediately withdraw troops from along the Great Wall. Part of the main force will stay in Chengde, and the other part will immediately rush to the Jinzhou line to prepare to seize southern Manchuria and cut off the Japanese army's route to the pass.  aisle."

    "Okay, I'll pass on the order right now."

    ???????????????

    The main force of the Japanese army in northern Manchuria suddenly moved southward. This was beyond the expectations of the Soviets. At the same time, they also realized that the role of Li Guoyao's troops was beyond their imagination. Therefore, the Soviet Far East Red Army immediately made a decision to immediately withdraw the anti-alliance troops who had withdrawn from the Soviet Union.  Go south and cooperate with the national army.

    The full name of the Anti-Japanese Alliance is the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, which is the people's anti-Japanese armed force in Northeast China.  Its predecessor was the Northeast People's Revolutionary Army established in May 1933, and was renamed the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army in February 1936.

    After the September 18th Incident in 1931, the people of Northeast China and some patriotic officers and soldiers of the Northeast Army formed anti-Japanese armed forces such as the Volunteer Army, the National Salvation Army, and the Self-Defense Force, collectively known as the Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army, with about 500,000 people, resisting Japanese attacks in various parts of Northeast China.  But in less than two years most of the casualties were scattered.

    Since the beginning of 1932, the Manchuria Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China has successively created Bayan, Panshi, Hailong and other anti-Japanese guerrilla groups.  The main leaders include Yang Jingyu, Zhao Shangzhi, Li Hongguang, Tong Changrong, Xia Yunjie, Cui Shiquan, etc.

    At the same time, the Manchuria Provincial Party Committee also sent party members such as Zhou Baozhong and Li Yanlu to carry out transformation work in the Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army and established the Suining Anti-Japanese Allied Army and the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Guerrilla Army.  The guerrillas continued to grow, and guerrilla activities spread across more than thirty counties.

    After that, the Manchuria Provincial Committee decided to form the Northeast People's Revolutionary Army based on the guerrillas.  From the second half of 1933 to the spring of 1936, the First, Second, Third, Sixth, and Eighth Armies of the Northeast People's Revolutionary Army, the Fourth Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army, and the Fifth Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army were established.

    On February 20, 1936, the "Declaration on the Unification of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces" was issued, and it was decided to rename the Northeastern People's Revolutionary Army and other anti-Japanese armed forces as the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces.  The original People's Revolutionary Army, the Anti-Japanese Allied Army and the Anti-Japanese Allied Army, plus other anti-Japanese armed forces incorporated into the Anti-Japanese Alliance after May 1936, formed the First to Eleventh Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces.  NortheasternThe 11 armies of the Allied Forces had more than 45,000 troops at their peak. After more than a year of coordinated operations, they dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese and puppet troops.

    However, from the second half of 1938, the Japanese army increased its military strength, intensified military "crusades", political surrender and economic blockade against the Anti-Japanese League, and isolated the Anti-Japanese League from the masses, trying its best to destroy the living conditions of the Anti-Japanese League.

    The Anti-Japanese Alliance continued to fight in a very difficult situation. The First Route Army turned to the dense forests of Changbai Mountain and carried out divisional operations.  The Second Route Army marched westward from Baoqing and Mudanjiang areas to Wuchang and Shulan areas.  The main force of the Third Route Army made an expedition to the Heinen Plain from the Tangyuan, Luobei, and Suibin areas.

    In the autumn and winter of 1939, the Japanese and puppet troops continued their crazy "crusade".  Due to the deterioration of the struggle situation, the armies suffered heavy losses and had to be reduced to detachments to continue to carry out guerrilla warfare under extremely difficult circumstances.

    Subsequently, the Japanese army launched a more brutal "crusade" against the Alliance, and the situation became increasingly serious.  At this time, most of the First and Second Route Army had moved to the territory of the Soviet Union and set up southern and northern camps for training. Some of them persisted in the struggle on the eastern border of Liaoning and Jilin and in the Wanda Mountains. The Third Route Army continued to fight in the Heinen Plain and  Guerrilla activities were carried out in the Greater and Lesser Khingan Mountains.

    In the autumn of 1942, the northern and southern camps were jointly organized into an international brigade, designated the 88th Infantry Brigade of the Soviet Far East Front, also known as the Northeast Anti-Union Teaching Brigade.  During the camping and teaching brigade period, systematic military training and political study were carried out. At the same time, more than a dozen small teams were sent back to the Northeast battlefield to conduct guerrilla activities in North Manchuria, Jidong, East Manchuria and Liaoji border areas.

    Under very difficult circumstances, the Northeast Anti-Resistance Alliance fought independently for fourteen years, fought tens of thousands of times, and suffered more than 30,000 casualties. It annihilated more than 220,000 Japanese and puppet troops, including more than 170,000 Japanese troops, and contained several  One hundred thousand Japanese troops strategically cooperated with the national war of resistance.

    But since two years ago, the main force of the Anti-Japanese Alliance has basically been wiped out, and most of the remaining troops have withdrawn to the Soviet Union. Only a small number of troops are active in the Northeast, which does not play a big role.

    In addition, the Kwantung Army has been expanding its troops over the years, and its strength is getting weaker and weaker, but its strength is increasing. Under such circumstances, the Soviet Union opposes the return of the resistance forces to fight in the Northeast.

    However, now the main force of the Kwantung Army suddenly moved south, which allowed the Soviet Union to see an opportunity.

    In the eyes of the Soviets, the Anti-Japanese Alliance, as the vanguard force going south, could not only help the Soviets figure out the reality of the Japanese, but also cooperate with Li Guoyao's troops in fighting, killing two birds with one stone, so why not do it.

    In addition, Li Bingtian¡¯s headquarters also received an enemy situation report from Li Guoyao¡¯s headquarters. Therefore, the Soviet Union immediately ordered the anti-alliance troops to go south to the northeast. At the same time, it also ordered Li Bingtian¡¯s headquarters to fully cooperate with Li Guoyao¡¯s operations.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
