    The sun sets in the west and the cold wind blows across the earth.

    Three hours after the 71st Army suffered heavy losses, the remaining troops gathered together and moved five kilometers towards Siping.

    In less than forty minutes of fighting, there were a total of 7,200 casualties among officers and soldiers, including one division commander, three brigade commanders and a large number of low-level commanders.

    The 71st Army¡¯s battle losses in recent days plus the latest casualty figures have reached 40% of the total strength.

    It will definitely be impossible to carry out any offensive operations in a short period of time, and even on-site defense will have huge difficulties. It is really a stretch to have the artillery combat units knocked out by more than 70%.

    The night was dark, and the national troops were stationed everywhere licking their wounds. The soldiers were extremely depressed.

    The 52nd Army and the 71st Army were each wiped out by half of their strength, and the New Sixth Army and the New First Army also suffered about 20% combat attrition. From the 145,000 soldiers when they set out from Fengtian, there are now only 96,000 soldiers left.  thousand.

    It will take at least ten days to continue marching to Changchun and there is no telling how many harassment attacks and horrific bombardments we will suffer.

    The firepower of the Northeastern Communist Army was beyond imagination. Even with the artillery stolen before, there should not be so many artillery shells for attack.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    After receiving the battle report from Fengtian in the direction of Nanjing, the order to rest for a day and continue to march to Changchun was immediately issued.

    The top brass of the national army firmly believes that the Northeastern Democratic Alliance Forces have also suffered heavy losses in the Siping area. If both sides suffer battle losses at the same time, it depends on which side can persevere.

    Combining the 52nd Army and the 71st Army into one and temporarily forming one army will continue to advance behind the New Sixth Army and the New First Army. After the three armies enter Changchun, they will mobilize forces from the Central Plains area for support.

    If all goes well, there may even be a chance to annihilate all the Northeastern Democratic Alliance forces in the entire North Manchuria region in one fell swoop.

    The national army was resting in Siping City, and the Eighth Column also organized the recently captured prisoners into various combat units. After more than ten days of fighting, the attrition was restored instantly and two more independent regiments were formed. Growth in the battle is undoubtedly very terrifying.  ability.

    "Look at this posture, the Nationalist army is going to continue towards Changchun. It's really Chairman Chiang's good army!"

    "It's good to be obedient! I'm just afraid of not being obedient!"

    Fang Tianlang put down the telescope, and there was silence in the distance.

    ¡°We will attack from behind little by little, wipe out 10,000 more in ten days, and then surround the entire national army.¡±

    The political commissar put his hands on his hips and looked into the distance.

    "Let the national army go out for two days, and I will lead my people to capture Siping City. In this way, the troops outside Tieling can be transferred back to the nearest place to implement concealment. I always feel safe having the troops at hand."

    Fang Tianlang opened the map and looked at the infantry regiment and self-propelled artillery battalion that he had deployed a long time ago.

    "Hmm, I don't worry about you fighting at night. The National Army will not put too many troops in Siping. The National Army is currently insufficient in strength. If there are too many troops here, there will be fewer troops on the front line."

    "Send a report to Chief No. 1, knock off two or three thousand in Siping, and then chase and fight all the way. Just tell us a day or two in advance how Changchun will direct the Northeast Bureau."

    Fang Tianlang took back the map, stamped the snow on his feet and walked back from the front line. The national army could not stay in Siping City for too long and must continue to march north to point at Changchun.

    Time passed quietly, and the national army left Siping City and continued northward.

    The Eighth Column was making small fuss in the back, while the brother troops in the front were also constantly carrying out interception operations.

    Chief No. 1 is quite satisfied with the record of killing and injuring 50,000 National Army soldiers. If he continues to implement the original tactics, he will definitely be able to knock out more of the three armies of the National Army.

    The final battle can be fought in Changchun or further away. No matter when the battle ends, it will end in a disastrous defeat for the national army.

    The three armies of the National Army left Siping for two days and one night, leaving one regiment and 600 wounded people to garrison in the city. Less than 3,000 soldiers were just enough for the Eighth Route Army to eat like a delicious snack.

    Dense craters were left on the ground, and the bodies of all the national soldiers were neatly piled in the ravine.

    Fang Tianlang stood in the darkness and took off his military hat and bowed three times to all the fallen Nationalist soldiers. Many of the Nationalist soldiers in front of him had fought against the Japanese army in Burma. All soldiers who had fought against the Japanese invaders were worthy of respect.

    "Let's go! Attack Siping City! Capture as many prisoners as possible!"

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    "Report! Eight vertical telegrams, Siping City has been captured."

    "Well! The battle in the Eighth Column is indeed reassuring. The battle was resolved in two hours in one night. How many prisoners were captured? Are the casualties high?!"

     The Northeastern chief tightened his coat and asked the combat staff.

    "1,800 prisoners were captured and 110 were killed. The remaining more than 700 wounded were taken care of, and the Eighth Column suffered 15 casualties."

    When the combat staff reported the numbers, the entire combat command room fell silent.

    "Fifteen people?! That's amazing! We captured so many prisoners in one battle, and after removing half of them who were unwilling to continue fighting, we got half the regiment! The Eighth Column is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more weapons and equipment!"

    The Northeastern chief squinted his eyes and looked at the location of the national army garrison on the map.

    Any team in the current position of the national army will be extremely embarrassed. The rear is more than 100 kilometers away from Fengtian and the front is still more than 80 kilometers away from Changchun. The long distance between both sides is a huge blow to morale.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    The dawn sun brings a little heat.

    The commander of the national army felt invisible pressure when he learned that Siping, which he had finally won, was lost overnight.

    At the moment, we can only try our best to move forward to capture Changchun and then hold on to wait for new troops to enter the Northeast. The entire transportation line must station at least one division in each city to ensure safety, otherwise it will become an isolated island.

    Whether it is Tieling or Siping, if only one group is left, it will obviously be easily taken by the opponent.

    "The national army is like a sausage. We bite it one bite at a time from behind. The troops must not be in a hurry. If you bite a little at a time, the more you bite, the more you will accumulate."

    Fang Tianlang stood in front of the map. The four division commanders and the tank regiment commander were all present.

    For more than half a month, the Eighth Column had been dividing its troops into two wings to fight separately. At this moment, they finally successfully joined forces behind the national army.

    "The time advantage is on our side. The national army has been cut off from back-up supplies. Only when they enter Changchun can they have the opportunity to obtain air supplies. Follow step by step. After ten days of fighting, it is very likely that the 52nd Army and 71st Army behind will be directly wiped out by us.  .¡±

    "The tank regiment is the main force in cutting operations. It cuts the sausage with a single cut and everyone eats the meat."

    "Okay! Let's all set up. We don't have any pressure. It's not too little to kill two hundred national soldiers in one day. Take your time. Some battles need to be fast; some battles need to be slow."

    "Remember! Our advantage is that we are flexible, on the outside, and have no pressure. We can fight how we want. Do you understand?"

    "clear!"

    The division commanders left, and the combat command room suddenly became quiet.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
