    The battle for Linxi County has been going on for more than ten hours, and the high-energy battle has not stopped. Whether it is the Japanese army or the national army, everyone's nerves are tense.

    Everyone knows that this battle is of great importance and there is no retreat for both sides.

    However, just when both sides were furious, the Japanese troops at the front suddenly received an urgent telegram from the Kwantung Army headquarters, ordering them to alternate cover and retreat, and withdraw from the Linxi battlefield.

    It turned out that the Kwantung Army Headquarters had received the farewell telegram from Jingguan Longchang and concluded that the 14th Division had been completely wiped out.

    Since the target to be rescued is dead, they have no value.

    More importantly, after the Chinese army completely annihilated the 14th Division, its main force will inevitably reinforce Linxi, and may even encircle the Japanese troops near Linxi County.

    Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of the 29th Division and the Iron and Stone Forces, the Kwantung Army Headquarters finally issued an order to withdraw troops.

    The issuance of this order not only means that the Kwantung Army Headquarters has abandoned the 14th Division, but also abandoned all counties and districts in the northwest of Chifeng.

    With the retreat of the main force of the Japanese army, the war that lasted half a month finally ended.

    In this battle, the Northeastern Advance Army dispatched 9 columns with a total of 120,000 troops, launched a comprehensive attack on the Japanese and puppet troops on the front line of Chifeng and Tongliao, and annihilated two divisions of the Japanese and puppet troops plus three infantry in half a month.  Brigade, and severely damaged the 29th Division and the Iron and Stone Forces, causing a total of 60,000 to 70,000 casualties to the Japanese and puppet troops, and achieved an unprecedented victory.

    After this battle, the defense line in the northern part of Rehe was torn apart by the Chinese army. The complete defense circle was beaten to pieces and full of loopholes.

    On the Yushu front line, Li Guoyao couldn't help but feel excited after receiving the good news from Chen Jianzhong from the Western Front.

    Although the Japanese and puppet troops annihilated in this battle only accounted for one-twentieth of the total strength of the Kwantung Army, they were one of the true elites of the Kwantung Army. Not to mention the annihilated 7th Division and 14th Division.  The 29th Division, which was severely damaged in Linxi, should not be underestimated.

    If nothing else goes wrong, the division will be transferred out of the Kwantung Army¡¯s combat order this year, incorporated into the 31st Army of Lieutenant General Hideyoshi Obata, and sent to Guam, the strategic location of the ¡°absolute national defense circle.¡±

    However, during the transportation, the transport ship on which the 18th Infantry Regiment of the division was attacked was attacked by a US submarine and died.  In Saipan, although the 18th Wing was reorganized and redeployed to Guam, the 1st Group was still left in Saipan.  In addition, the 50th Infantry Regiment was also stationed on Tinian Island.

    When the U.S. military landed on Saipan, the Japanese defenders remaining on Saipan were wiped out, including the infantry brigade of the 18th Regiment.

    After that, the U.S. military directed its attack on Guam, which was originally a U.S. territory.  On the two beaches of Asan Beach and Agat Beach on the west coast of Guam, the 38th Infantry Regiment of the defenders was routed by the powerful artillery fire of the US military and suffered heavy casualties.

    The Japanese army was unable to even parry in the face of the overwhelmingly superior U.S. offensive.  Finally, Lieutenant General Gao Pinbiao, commander of the 29th Division, and Lieutenant General Hideyoshi Obata, commander of the 31st Army, who were forced to Chamushan in northern Guam by the US military, committed suicide. The organized resistance of the Japanese army came to an end.

    On the other hand, the US military successfully landed on Tinian Island and took control of the entire island in just nine days. No one in the 50th Infantry Regiment survived.

    It is such a main division with a strong fighting will and strong combat effectiveness that failed to attack Linxi and suffered heavy losses. This is of great significance to the Northeast Advance Army.

    After this battle, the Chinese army has taken the initiative in the strategic situation on the Western Front. If the Japanese army wants to regain the initiative, the only way is to continuously mobilize elite troops and then defeat the Chinese army in the region again.

    Based on the current situation, the Kwantung Army needs to dispatch at least 150,000 to 200,000 troops to be possible.

    But the problem is that the main force of the Japanese army is now on the northern front. The total number of troops in southern Manchuria is less than 350,000. At present, more than 100,000 people have been annihilated. The available troops do not exceed 200,000. If they are all assembled  It's obviously unrealistic to get up.

    At the same time, the national army, which has penetrated deep into the hinterland of Northeast China, has also made great breakthroughs during this period.

    After Lu Zhanwu¡¯s integration, the combat effectiveness of the units in the eastward column has been greatly improved.

    Taking advantage of the favorable opportunity when the Japanese army and the advancing army were locked in a stalemate on the western front, Lu Zhanwu personally commanded the headquarters to launch attacks on Jiaohe, Dunhua, Shulan, Huadian and other places.

    On the night of March 12, 1944, more than 6,000 soldiers from the 1st and 3rd regiments of the Eastward Column, under the personal command of Lu Zhanwu, crossed the border between Dunhua and Jiaohe Rivers.Through the dense forest in between, we headed towards Halba Ridge along the railway.

    The team then came to a place not far from Halbaling Station and chose favorable terrain to ambush.

    At around 1 o'clock in the night, a Japanese armored vehicle came from Dunhua. Since the team's ambush location was close to the railway, the armored vehicle sped past, creating a whirlwind in front of the soldiers.

    After the armored vehicle passed by, several soldiers jumped onto the railway. After a while, about 20 meters long railway track was moved down the roadbed. About half an o'clock, the 202 special train sent from the big stone area was spitting out thick smoke and rolled up.  The carriage was roaring with strong winds, and the carriage contained more than two thousand Japanese and puppet troops who were sleeping soundly. They were all ordered to be transferred to Xinjing, the capital of the puppet Manchukuo.

    Suddenly, there was a loud crash and the front of the train suddenly fell off the track. The carriages behind it also derailed and overturned one after another, causing a fire.

    At this time, Lu Zhanwu¡¯s troops immediately launched a fierce attack on the train, with gunshots, explosions, and shouts of killing resounding.

    The Japanese road protection troops and the escort team were killed and injured numerous times in an instant, but the Japanese and puppet troops, unwilling to fail, gathered three to four hundred people under the command of a lieutenant general and relied on the last carriage to resist.

    Since these guys had a large number of light and heavy machine guns and their firepower was quite fierce, many soldiers were killed and injured.

    Lu Zhanwu made a decisive decision and immediately ordered the artillery to fire on the carriage. Soon the artillery shells fell like raindrops. The carriage that the Japanese army used as a bunker was instantly blown into scrap metal. The Japanese army's previously arrogant firepower was also instantly silenced.

    In this battle, the eastward column not only annihilated a large group of Japanese troops, but also annihilated a regiment of puppet troops, captured more than 300 people, and seized a large amount of supplies and equipment.

    ??Then Lu Zhanwu¡¯s troops continued to advance eastward and easily captured Qiuligou. After learning that the Dunhua defenders had only two infantry brigades that were not full, they took Dunhua by surprise.

    Dunhua was a key area protected by the Japanese army. Originally, a complete infantry regiment and a tank brigade of the Japanese army were stationed here, as well as a large number of puppet troops.

    Although Dunhua itself is not very geographically located, it has a large area of ??virgin forest and there are many coal mines. Therefore, there are more than 100,000 Chinese prisoners of war and laborers in the area mining and logging for the Japanese.

    In addition, many Japanese companies are also stationed in Dunhua, including four of Japan¡¯s six major consortiums.  Therefore, in order to deter these prisoners of war and protect the interests of these corporations, the Kwantung Army Headquarters stationed so many troops in the little-known place of Dunhua.

    "But since Li Guoyao's troops advanced into the Northeast, the Kwantung Army has been faced with great challenges, especially on the western front. From Chifeng to Wangye Temple to Qiqihar, battles are taking place everywhere.

    In just a few months, the Kwantung Army lost more than 100,000 troops, all of which were elite troops.

    Under such circumstances, in order to maintain the situation on the Western Front, the Kwantung Army Headquarters could only continuously mobilize troops from the rear.

    Soon, Dunhua's garrison dropped from more than 6,000 to less than 2,000. Even the tank brigade was transferred away. The defense was quite empty, and many places even needed private soldiers from Japan Corporation.  He was armed to maintain order, so he was targeted by Lu Zhanwu and others.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
