    The few remaining Japanese troops could no longer support the defense of this position.

    After Yuuto Toradani entered the defensive position, he subconsciously looked at the watch on his wrist with the help of the firelight caused by the explosion.

    The time came to twelve o'clock in the evening, and there were still six or seven hours before dawn.

    "Toraya Yuuto knows that he will not be able to see the sun tomorrow. His fate has been doomed. It was already doomed when Ichiro's order came to him last time.

    "Prosperous military fortune!!"

    He closed his eyes slightly and muttered silently, then turned around and shot at the soldiers of the Fourth Army swarming below.

    "boom!!"

    A bullet flew and penetrated his head.

    "Toraya Yuuto's body swayed slightly, and then he fell to the ground, losing his life.

    At three o'clock in the morning, the reserve brigade eliminated the last Japanese army on the high ground.

    This group of Japanese soldiers were very stubborn. Until the end, no one chose to surrender or escape.

    The soldiers of the Fourth Army did not clean up the battlefield, but followed the rugged mountain road to pursue the remaining Japanese troops.

    They don¡¯t need to spend too much effort to guess the possible escape route of the Japanese army, because the corpses of Japanese soldiers along the way are their best signposts.

    The soldiers of the Kagel Combat Division only need to follow the corpses left by the Japanese troops on the road to catch up with their large troops.

    Just as the reserve brigade of the Kagel Combat Division launched a fierce pursuit of the Japanese army, on the other side, a brigade responsible for blocking the Japanese army on the flank entered the blocking position as early as ten o'clock in the evening and built a line of defense.  A solid line of defense.

    This brigade is the main brigade of the Kagel Combat Division. They originally volunteered to give the Japanese a heavy blow from the front.

    ¡°But considering that the Japanese troops fled from the side, this group of Japanese troops who were put to death will inevitably explode with greater strength.

    Therefore, Xia Yang arranged them to the side and built a blocking position to prevent the Japanese army from escaping.

    They are the first line of defense here and are on the path that the Japanese army must pass through.

    If the Japanese army cannot get through here, then the Japanese army will have another route to choose.

    But that route is very difficult to walk. Not only are there many cliffs around it, but there are also no other routes for them to choose from.

    Once they enter this road, they cannot turn back and keep moving forward.

    On this route, Xia Yang also arranged garrison troops, namely three battalions led by Zhao Gang himself.

    Although there are only three battalions of troops, the troop establishment of the Eighth Route Army is different from the data on paper.

    If nothing else, at least the three battalions led by Zhao Gang have a combined combat strength of nearly 10,000 people.

    ¡° Moreover, the Second Battalion, the most powerful fighting force of the independent regiment, is also among them.

    If the Japanese army passes through them, they will definitely be attacked head-on.

    As long as Zhao Gang and the others can delay for a while, the pursuit troops from the rear of the Fourth Army will be able to support them here and completely eliminate this Japanese army.

    While the soldiers of the Fourth Army were frantically pursuing the Japanese army, in another direction, the Eighth Route Army troops that detoured to the rear of the Japanese army had successfully arrived at the outskirts of Jinzhou, Liaoning Province after traveling day and night.

    Their advance battalion was only more than ten kilometers away from the Japanese defense line outside Jinzhou.

    These soldiers were not in a hurry to launch an attack on the Japanese army. Instead, they sent a small reconnaissance force to conduct further exploration of the relevant defensive arrangements of the Japanese army in the front.

    Before they arrived here, the Fourth Army had provided them with a large amount of intelligence about Jinzhou.

    ¡°This includes the defense forces in the Jinzhou area, as well as the numbers of the units that can be supported by the surrounding Japanese garrisons, and even the defense map of the Jinzhou area and various defensive positions. The Eighth Route Army already knows it clearly.

    "However, the information provided is that on the one hand, it is unknown whether the Japanese army's layout in Jinzhou, Liaoning Province has changed in such a few days.

    For the sake of caution, they still dispatched reconnaissance troops to conduct close reconnaissance of the Japanese defensive positions deployed on the periphery.

    In the temporary headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, Mr. He, the commander-in-chief of this unit, was holding a pipe in one hand while looking at Jinzhou's defense map.

    Around the defense map, you can see a large number of small blue flags. These are the Japanese defense positions. They are densely packed and almost surround the entire Jinzhou.Come.

    However, according to their previous intelligence, the Japanese troops stationed in Jinzhou at this time were limited, only about 10,000 people.

    If they are fast enough, they can capture the entire Jinzhou before Japanese reinforcements arrive.

    If they can capture Jinzhou in a short period of time, they can cut off the Japanese army's retreat and completely surround the Japanese army's main divisions located on the northeastern front line of Shanhaiguan.

    When the time comes, they will attack together with the main force of the Fourth Army and launch a fierce attack on this Japanese army. They will definitely be able to annihilate this Japanese army in a short time.

    However, the situation has changed now, which is why Mr. He's expression is so solemn.

    "Information received from the Fourth Army, they said that a division of the Japs returned to Jinzhou City yesterday afternoon.

    This Japanese division is a second-class division, but it has more than 18,000 combatants.

    Including the troops originally stationed in the Jinzhou area, the Japanese defense force in the Jinzhou area now has more than 30,000 people.

    We lack heavy weapons. If we really want to storm Jinzhou City, it will take a lot of effort.

    The speaker was Chief of Staff Liu, who followed Mr. He and was responsible for the attack on Jinzhou City.

    Mr. He's eyes were gloomy. When he finished speaking, he took the pipe away from his mouth, blew out a smoke ring, pointed at the map with the hand holding the pipe and said: "Jinzhou City is indeed very important, but we want to besiege the little devil."  , it¡¯s not the only way to attack Jinzhou City.¡±

    "Then what do you mean"

    Chief of Staff Liu looked at him and seemed to understand what he meant, "Want to surround the site for reinforcements?"

    "Then why not?"

    Mr. He said, the mustache on his lips raised slightly, "I think it is feasible! Jinzhou City is a city that the little devils must fight for. If we can cut off the two railway lines to the north and east of Jinzhou City, and at the same time  By encircling them, we can also achieve the strategic goal of besieging the Japanese army along Shanhaiguan."

    ¡°I think it¡¯s feasible, but the kid¡¯s counterattack will definitely be fierce.¡± (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
