    "Tianlang! A congratulatory message from Northern Shaanxi to you!"

    "Huh!? I have to take a closer look at this! Hahaha! This is the first time I have received a congratulatory message!"

    Fang Tianlang received the message with a smile on his face. The rapid liberation of Northeast China is of great significance to the overall situation and will naturally receive the closest attention from northern Shaanxi.

    "Yeah! Be careful not to be arrogant or impetuous! This means that I am young and afraid that I will be frivolous, haha!"

    "The Eighth Column must be the glorious Eighth Column! We will always be invincible warriors!"

    The political commissar stood nearby, filled with infinite emotion in his heart. From the regiment political commissar, the brigade political commissar, the division political commissar to the column political commissar, miracles appeared in front of him one after another, which was beyond words.

    "To celebrate, we will not attack the 52nd Army tonight. Let the 9th Division and the 2nd Artillery Division continue to attack the 71st Army. Keep a safe distance and pick small targets to attack. You can swallow one company at a time! Safety first!"

    Fang Tianlang gave the order and immediately sat on the camp bed.

    "Have a good sleep and watch the actions of the New First Army and the New Sixth Army before deciding on the next move.

    An extremely unlikely event such as an army being knocked out of almost all its senior commanders by the opponent's artillery can have an absolutely devastating effect on morale.

    We don¡¯t know how the national army will respond. Changchun is already close at hand, and retreating at this time will be in vain.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    "The Eighth Column called, Comrade Tianlang decided to launch a general attack on the 71st Army at noon tomorrow. We will give way to Siping, and the New First Army and the New Sixth Army will enter Siping, which will be more than ten kilometers away from the 71st Army."

    "If this continues, the 71st Army will lose half its life. We will cripple two armies, and the New First Army and the New Sixth Army will also be hit. In this battle, we already have the advantage."

    The Northeastern chief sat in his seat, holding the telegram and map and checking them over and over again.

    It is an extremely clever tactic to use Siping to separate the New First Army and the New Sixth Army from the 71st Army. Two days after the attack, the National Army suddenly saw victory in sight and would definitely advance quickly without having time to consider other combat units behind it.

    "When you call back to the Eighth Column, you must be quick to avoid being bitten by the opponent's counterattack. We still have a depth of more than 100 kilometers, and ten days are enough for the Eighth Column to carry out dozens of attacks. There is no need to rush this moment."

    "Accumulate small victories into big victories! The New First Army and the New Sixth Army are now in a dilemma!"

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    After a quiet night, the Ninth Division harassed the 71st Army and knocked out two infantry companies and a logistics supply combat unit.

    At noon, an all-out attack will be launched in order to severely damage the 71st Army and kill at least 5,000 to 10,000 soldiers. It will still be the aerial reconnaissance aircraft that guides the artillery to strike with long-range firepower and close-range armored combat vehicles.

    Although the tank battalion temporarily attached to the Ninth Division is an M3A3 light tank with only a 37mm gun, it is enough to attack the shelled Chinese soldiers.

    An armored cutting operation will advance five kilometers to penetrate the temporary defense line built by the 71st Army, destroy some key targets and then capture thousands of national soldiers before returning victoriously.

    December 10, 1945, eleven o'clock at noon.

    The Northeastern Democratic Coalition forces on the edge of Siping City began to gradually retreat, and Fang Tianlang flew a Japanese-made reconnaissance aircraft into the sky.

    All the 105mm artillery of the Second Artillery Division are waiting for the arrival of the shooting coordinates. For each attack, one artillery fires independently to determine the explosion point, and then more than a dozen artillery drops ammunition as required.

    After half an hour of precise strikes, tanks immediately led the infantry to attack. The same tactics had just crippled the 52nd Army yesterday. After using them twice, new tactics would be implemented.

    The New First Army and the New Sixth Army felt that the intercepting firepower had weakened and immediately pushed forward forcefully. The leading troops finally entered Siping City and swept away the haze of the 52nd Army being severely damaged.

    No one knew that another asymmetric battle was about to begin in a few minutes. The 71st Army would suffer the same heavy blow as the 52nd Army and become a remnant army with at least half of its combat strength.

    The reconnaissance plane began to circle to look for the target. The first artillery shell exploded rapidly, followed by more than a dozen artillery shells, annihilating an artillery position in the smoke, fireworks, and snow.

    "Well done! Haha! Such accuracy! Absolutely amazing!"

    "Come again! Area 107! Test fire one!"

    "BoomBoom! Boom! Boom!"

    A division-level command center of the 71st Army was covered point-to-point by twelve 105mm high-explosive grenades.

    A dozen tents turned into rags and were quickly carbonized in the high-temperature airflow. The limited ammunition must hit high-value targets. The command center, artillery positions and soldier gathering areas are the highest priority targets.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?There was continuous bombardment. As the New First Army and the New Sixth Army in the distance entered Siping, the 75mm artillery of the Second Artillery Division also joined the battle and began to bombard the national soldiers on the defensive front to clear the way for the tanks to attack.

    Explosions came one after another, and the communication channel of the 71st Army was filled with panic and shouts.

    Multiple command centers were wiped out, and tens of thousands of soldiers didn't know what to do. The tanks in the distance had already appeared in the field of vision and would hit them in two or three minutes.

    "Boom!"

    Another row of artillery shells crashed down, and fireworks rose into the sky.

    A dozen national army mortar gunners had just set up several large-caliber mortars when they were all blown apart by the metal storm.

    Fang Tianlang flew a reconnaissance plane from a low altitude of 300 meters to clearly see every detail on the ground, including targets as small as mortar positions.

    "Okay! It's time for me to withdraw! It's up to the Ninth Division! Fight quickly!"

    The reconnaissance plane quickly disappeared into the distance, and the four infantry regiments of the 9th Division, guided by more than a dozen M3A3 light tanks, penetrated deep into the 71st Army's defense line like sharp blades.

    "Skydiving! I'm back!"

    Fang Tianlang landed steadily and returned to the combat command center ten minutes later.

    The Ninth Division¡¯s forceful attack will come to an end in about ten minutes. It is currently impossible to know the accurate battle report and can only be known by waiting for the opponent to send a telegram.

    "Tianlang, Siping has given way. The command called and asked us to attack according to the predetermined plan."

    "Hmm don't worry, wait an hour and see how the 71st Army is beaten."

    "Eat first, wait when you are full."

    Fang Tianlang sat back in his seat, took off his gloves and rubbed his face vigorously.

    The aroma of food soon wafted from the command room, and everyone was happily eating and drinking, waiting patiently for the battle report. The Ninth Division would report the number of prisoners of war captured by the National Army as soon as possible, but other figures would obviously have to wait for the National Army's own statistics.

    "Not bad!"

    "More than 1,900 prisoners of war were captured! According to this ratio! At least more than 7,000 were killed or wounded!"

    Fang Tianlang put down his chopsticks, took the message and read it briefly.

    "Send a telegram to the headquarters! Report the number of prisoners of war captured first. Maybe the headquarters of the 71st Army will know the specific number of casualties before we do."

    "It's good to have internal support at the top of the national army! You can know the detailed battle report two or three hours after the battle! Haha!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
