    "Commander, how do you plan to fight this battle?"

    Although Xu Hu and others still had doubts in their hearts, they knew that Li Guoyao had been planning for so long and even gave up the whole province of Rehe. He must be playing a big game. Under such circumstances, his battle  It is impossible to waver in determination. In this case, there is no need to discuss whether this battle will be fought or not.

    Therefore, they don¡¯t want to dwell on this issue and just ask about the battle plan directly!

    Li Guoyao did not pretend to be pretentious and said directly: "I have already made a combat plan. It is divided into two stages. The first stage is to use a running attack to annihilate the enemies at all points on Beining Road except Shanhaiguan, Jinzhou and Jinxi, and cut off the enemies inside and outside the pass.  The second stage is to concentrate our forces to capture Jinzhou and attack the enemy with reinforcements."

    "The specific deployment is: use the 1st Division, 2nd Division and one cavalry, artillery and air defense force to go south from the Qingfengling line to directly attack Nanpiao, Huludao and Suizhong County. The 3rd and 4th Divisions and  The main artillery force attacks the enemies on the front line in Yixian and Jinzhou, and then seizes Jinzhou and Jinxi."

    "The 5th Division, the 6th Division and the remaining technical arms, totaling 40,000 people, are located south of Fengtian to prevent the enemies of Fengtian from reinforcing Jinzhou, and are ready to participate in the attack on Jinzhou and annihilate the enemies who break through Jinzhou."

    Then Li Guoyao continued: "At the same time, once Jinzhou is attacked and is in danger, the Japanese army will inevitably withdraw its troops from the direction of Rehe. At that time, our army will concentrate the four main divisions of the Rehe Front Army and set up ambushes on the Lingyuan and Jianping lines.  , waiting for an opportunity to annihilate the remaining enemies in Rehe."

    While Li Guoyao announced his combat plan, Xu Hu, Chow Dafu, Gao Hu and others continued to mark the directions and routes of troop mobilization on the military map, and also marked the strength of each troop.

    After Li Guoyao finished speaking, they also marked everything, and then several people conducted war games according to this plan.

    The results of the deduction were a bit beyond everyone's expectations. If the entire war was implemented according to this plan, the possibility of capturing Southern Manchuria was over 80%, and even the chance of annihilating the main force of the Japanese army was more than 60%.

    Such a high chance of winning is really surprising, but at the same time it is reasonable. After all, this is the battle plan formulated by Commander Li personally, and he even went south to take command personally. It would be weird if there was not such a high chance of winning.

    In this case, they had nothing to say, and they immediately expressed their full cooperation with Li Guoyao and strive to complete the operation within a month.

    On March 31, 1945, after a week and a half of preparation, Li Guoyao's entire army was fully prepared, and then under Li Guoyao's order, the entire army began to take action.

    On the night of the 31st, under the command of Zhou Dafu, the main forces of the two divisions left Qingfengling and then launched attacks on Jianchangying, Huludao, Suizhong County and other places.

    Due to the limited strength of the Japanese garrison in the area, Chow Tai Fook took a more risky approach in this battle. He did not follow Li Guoyao's instructions of first attacking Changying, then Huludao, and finally Suizhong and advancing to Shanhaiguan.  He directly divided his troops into three groups and launched a surprise attack on the Japanese and puppet defenders in these three places.

    At this time, the Japanese army in the southern Manchuria area was not prepared for the sudden appearance of the national army in their hinterland. Therefore, from the commander, Yoshio Utsuki, to the ordinary soldiers, no relevant preparations were made, and they were caught off guard.

    In less than two days, Chow Dafu's troops easily captured Jianchang Camp and Huludao. Although they were stubbornly blocked by the main force of the Japanese 117th Division after attacking Suizhong, that was all.  Under Zhou Dafu's order, the main force of the unit surrounded the enemy in Suizhong on the afternoon of April 2.

    After the enemy in Suizhong was surrounded, the Kwantung Army Headquarters and the Legion Headquarters of the 44th Army immediately decided to send Japanese troops from Jinzhou and Shanhaiguan to reinforce Suizhong at the same time.

    However, while the Japanese army was busy deploying troops and generals, Gao Hu quietly approached Yixian and Nanpiao with the main force of two divisions.

    After learning that more than 5,000 elite Japanese troops in Jinzhou City, with the cooperation of a tank brigade, went south to reinforce Suizhong and that the defenders of Jinzhou City were less than 8,000 people, Li Guoyao decisively ordered Gao Hu's troops to attack.

    At three o'clock in the morning on April 3, the main force of Gao Hu's command encircled Yixian and first eliminated all the strongholds and fortifications outside Yixian. Then they began to attack the Japanese defense line of Yixian with infantry, and quickly broke through the city wall with the cooperation of armored troops.  , entered the city and started street fighting.

    At the same time, each army also organized elite forces to destroy the defenders' bunkers and barricades with blasting tubes and explosive packs.

    After a night of fighting, the Japanese independent mixed 79th brigade stationed in Yixian was completely wiped out, the brigade commander, Major General Okabe Tunmichi, shot himself when the national army invaded the Japanese garrison headquarters in Yixian, becoming the first general to be shattered by the Japanese army in this battle.

    While capturing Yixian, another force of about two cavalry regiments successfully attacked Nanpiao and occupied this satellite city before the Japanese army in Jinzhou could react.

    Immediately afterwards, Gao Hu personally commanded the remaining troops to march towards Jinzhou, and before 6 a.m. on April 3, they captured Gewenbei, Maoershan and other important places north of Jinzhou City, annihilating the main force of the Japanese 63rd Division.  Most of the two brigades of the 556th Wing.

    On the afternoon of the 3rd, the First Division of the Second Brigade of the Fourth Division under Gao Hu, with the cooperation of an artillery regiment, captured Gaoqiao and Xihaikou, while the Third Brigade and the First Regiment occupied Tashan, cutting off the enemies of Jinxi and Huludao from Jinzhou.  contact.

    Late that night, the First Brigade of the Third Division and the Second Regiment of the Air Defense Brigade blocked the Jinzhou Airport with artillery fire, cut off the Japanese air transport, and captured Xingcheng.

    The battle continued until four o'clock in the morning on April 4. After Zhou Dafu's troops captured the important town of Suizhong, Li Guoyao's troops had already captured Huludao, Suizhong, Jianchangying, Nanpiao, Yixian, Linghai and other places.

    A total of six county towns were captured and more than 9,000 enemies were wiped out.

    At this point, Li Guoyao's troops successfully cut off Beining Road and completely isolated Jinzhou.

    After being attacked in Jinzhou, the Kwantung Army headquarters was shocked and angry. They originally thought that after capturing Rehe, Li Guoyao's army was basically severely damaged, and it would be impossible for the opponent to regain its strength without more than half a year.

    For the Kwantung Army Headquarters, if there is no trouble from Li Guoyao's troops within half a year, they can use this time to adjust the defense of the troops and form more new troops.

    Anyway, the base camp has issued an order for the final decisive battle, requiring the Kwantung Army Headquarters to form new troops without restrictions. All Japanese expatriates who immigrate to Manchuria are obligated and must cooperate with the Kwantung Army Headquarters.

    Therefore, Yamada Otsuzo plans to use this time to mobilize 200,000 troops from the local expatriates in Manchuria, and then form 15 garrison divisions.

    Although forming more troops will not alleviate the pressure on Yamada Otozo and others, it is the only thing they can do at present. Even if it can only give themselves a little boost, Yamada Otozo also feels that it has a certain meaning.

    ¡°But no one thought that Li Guoyao¡¯s counterattack would come so quickly, and it would be so sharp once it was launched!

    According to the information reported from the front line, the unit launched attacks on the towns along Beining Road at the same time within just a few days, and except for Jinzhou City, all the towns that were attacked were captured.

    In just five days, the defenders of Southern Manchuria lost as many as 9,000 people. This did not include the Imperial Alliance troops who cooperated in the battle. If those people were included, the casualties would definitely exceed 10,000 people.

    In view of this, Yamada Otsuzo immediately ordered the defenders in Jinzhou City to rely on fortifications to defend the city. At the same time, he ordered the 44th Army in Fengtian City to immediately send elite troops to rescue Jinzhou to ensure the safety of Jinzhou City.

    There is no way, Jinzhou City is too important for the Japanese army. Once Jinzhou is captured by the Chinese army, not only will Southern Manchuria be destroyed, but the Jidong area within the pass will also be difficult to defend.

    After all, once you pass Shanhaiguan, there is no dangerous place in Jidong that can be defended.  In addition, the North China Front's garrison in Jidong is limited in number. Once Li Guoyao's troops move south, and with the cooperation of Anxi's ubiquitous Tuba Road, the possibility of Jidong being able to defend is slim.

    Once Jidong is lost, the Pingjin area will be in big trouble. It really affects the whole body, so they have no other choice but to reinforce Jinzhou.

    ¡°As everyone knows, this is what Li Guoyao is most happy to see!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
