    When the news that Li Guoyao's troops were defeated in Rehe spread throughout the streets, two months as one of the protagonists of the battle did not show up and speak out. He neither admitted the defeat nor refuted the Japanese propaganda. It seemed that he had no words at all.  I don't care about these things.

    Does Li Guoyao really not care about this matter?

    The answer is of course no. In the entire Northeast, I am afraid that no one is more concerned about the situation on the front line than Li Guoyao. However, compared to excuses or other reactions, Li Guoyao is more aware of the current state of the people, whether he admits it or denies it, or whether it is  If you refute it, the common people will not accept it.

    Rather than wasting words, it is better to speak with real actions. A thousand clarifications in the media and newspapers are not as effective as one in actual combat.

    ¡°While Yamada Otsuzo was asking his chief of staff, Li Guoyao was also discussing the situation on the front line with Ma Desheng and others at the Wuchang.

    Although the main force of the troops on the southern front in this battle was not lost as the Japanese army claimed, the losses were indeed considerable. In addition, Li Guoyao was about to carry out the next stage of combat deployment, so you must understand the actual situation on the front line.

    In the simple headquarters, Li Guoyao looked at Ma Desheng and others with a solemn expression on his face.

    "Old Ma, are the statistics correct? Our army really lost 40,000 people?" Li Guoyao's voice was a little cold, and everyone in the headquarters could hear his suppressed anger.

    Ma Desheng said immediately: "Commander, the data must be correct. Deputy Commander Xu's side suffered 18,000 casualties and 9,000 casualties. Lu Dashan's troops also suffered heavy casualties. In the battle of Chengde, they suffered 7,000 casualties, plus  The previous Battle of Lingyuan, Battle of Chifeng, etc., resulted in a total loss of more than 43,700 people."

    "What about the absolute loss?" Li Guoyao asked again.

    "30,400 people!"

    "Old Ma, how could it be possible that the army suffered such heavy losses? According to our plan, the maximum loss was 30,000 people, but how come it suddenly became more than 40,000, a full one-half more." Li Guoyao said depressedly.

    "Commander, according to the situation reported from the front line, there are two main reasons why the casualties in this battle were so heavy!"

    "Oh, which two?"

    "Commander, the first reason is that the Japanese army has strong combat effectiveness. In order to win this battle, the Kwantung Army assembled 150,000 troops in the southern Manchuria area, including many technical units such as tank brigades and artillery regiments, as well as a large number of  The combat capabilities of aviation fighters are more powerful than the Japanese troops we encountered before. In addition, we are fighting to defend our territory. Although commanders at all levels strictly implement the headquarters' combat plans, most of the soldiers are unwilling to give up.  They already occupied the town, so once the battle started, they would fight to the death, which in vain increased the casualties of the troops."

    Then Ma Desheng continued: "The second reason is that the combat effectiveness of our army has declined. In order to complete the army expansion plan, each unit recruited a large number of new soldiers in a short period of time and replenished them to the front-line units. Therefore, a large number of soldiers have not passed through the army.  Soldiers in training showed up on the battlefield.¡±

    "You know the survivability of recruits on the battlefield. Many of them have only undergone formation and shooting training for a period of time. Many of them have never even touched a gun before going to the battlefield, so when facing the Japanese attack  , the casualties of the troops are naturally difficult to control."

    Li Guoyao frowned and asked, "What is the situation of each army now?"

    "Overall it's okay, but I heard that morale is a bit low!" Ma Desheng replied.

    "Well, this is understandable. If the entire town of Jehol is lost at once, the morale of any unit will not be very good!"

    Then Li Guoyao asked again: "What about the casualties of the Japanese army?"

    "It's very heavy. It is conservatively estimated to be more than twice ours. It is said that there is an endless stream of vehicles heading to Jinzhou and Fengtian. When the vehicles go there, they are carrying weapons, equipment and supplies, but when they come back, they are loaded with everything.  The body of the car.¡±

    Then Ma Desheng said again: "The worker who cremated the corpses of the Japanese army in Fengtian City is our intelligence officer. According to what he reported, the intensity of their work has increased several times since the battle started, and even when they had no choice but to  Under the circumstances, two hundred more people were recruited, but even so, the corpses of Japanese soldiers waiting to be cremated were still piled up in a compound in the north of Fengtian City, and the tragedy was indescribable!"

    "Well, that's good! We have suffered so many casualties, we must not let the blood of our brothers be shed in vain!"

    "There is definitely no loss of life. The two front armies on the southern front fought with 200,000 troops against the main force of 150,000 Japanese troops. They suffered 40,000 casualties plus 14 towns in exchange for more than 80,000 Japanese casualties. This isIt¡¯s hard to say whether the sale is a good deal or not, but it certainly can¡¯t be considered a loss!  "

    As soon as he finished speaking, Li Guoyao said calmly: "No loss? This is not the result I want. This war is like doing business. If you don't make a profit, you will lose. But we will never do a losing business. It's time to execute the second step.  Stage combat mission?"

    "second stage?"

    "Well, in the first stage, the enemy advanced and we retreated, exchanging space for consuming the effective strength of the Japanese army. In the second stage, it is our turn to attack. In this battle, we not only have to regain all the territory we gave up before, but at the same time  We must also wipe out all the Japanese and puppet troops in the entire southern Manchuria area and completely cut off the Japanese army's transportation routes inside and outside the customs." Li Guoyao said in shocking words.

    "Commander, although the Japanese and puppet troops on the southern front have suffered heavy losses, their morale is very high. In addition, the Kwantung Army Headquarters is currently shrinking its troops. If we attack directly like this, we will not be the same as the Japanese army before. With the Japanese army's defensive level,  If we really want to achieve the strategic goal you just mentioned, the 200,000 troops on the southern front may not be enough!" Ma Desheng said with a frown.

    "Who said you have to fight with the little devil?"

    "Then how can we annihilate the Japs and recapture the major towns in Southern Manchuria without all the effort?"

    "Haha, I already have a comprehensive plan for this matter. You should immediately give Lu Dashan and Xu Hu's troops to assemble their main forces immediately. Especially Xu Hu's troops, immediately prepare half a month's worth of ammunition and supplies.  And break it into pieces and secretly march towards the mountainous area east of Lingyuan. Its headquarters will arrive at Qingfeng Ridge east of Kalaqin in three days!" Li Guoyao ordered.

    "yes!"

    "In addition, send a separate telegram to Lu Dashan's headquarters, ordering their main forces to assemble from Fengning, Longhua and Luanping. The troops in each place cannot exceed one regiment, with a small number of technical troops.  Launch a violent campaign against the Japanese and puppet troops in these towns. We do not ask them to destroy many enemies, but they must hold back the Japanese and puppet troops on the front line in Chengde!"

    Li Guoyao then continued: "In addition, the main force of the unit will immediately advance eastward from Mayingzi, Gaoling Town, and Wuling Mountain, and then gather on the Wenbi Mountain and Dagouli front lines to be on standby!"

    "yes!"

    "Inform all ministries that the above combat orders must be implemented immediately, and all units must arrive at their scheduled positions within five days!"

    "yes!"

    "In addition, I will send an order to the special operations team and the headquarters cavalry brigade, asking them to gather at the headquarters tomorrow morning, and then follow me south!"

    "Yes, I promise to complete the task!"

    "Well, go get ready. When I come back, the war in southern Manchuria will basically be over, and we can concentrate on dealing with the Japanese soldiers in central Manchuria and northern Manchuria!"

    "Commander, don't we need the North Manchuria Front Army and the Sixth Front Army to cooperate in fighting?" Ma Desheng asked in a deep voice.

    "No need. Now the two front armies are infiltrating various towns in the hinterland of Northeast China according to the orders of the headquarters. There is no need to disturb them for the time being. What's more, the total number of Japanese and puppet troops in southern Manchuria is only tens of thousands. With Lu Dashan and  Xu Hu's two troops are enough to deal with them!" Li Guoyao said confidently.

    "Oh well!"
