    News of the arrival of Japanese reinforcements has reached the southern front headquarters. After receiving the news, Lu Zhanwu immediately made a decision. The main front-line troops evacuated overnight, leaving only one main battalion to support the facade.

    Although Lu Zhanwu is unhappy, he currently has more than 70,000 troops in his hands, and after receiving support from the headquarters artillery regiment, air defense regiment, and anti-tank regiment, he can be regarded as strong.

    In addition, the headquarters captured Shulan, Jiaohe, Dunhua and other towns in just a few days, annihilated the 108th Division and the Third Guards in one fell swoop, and forced the landing of two puppet brigades. Morale is rising.

    Without an order from the headquarters, Lu Zhanwu would never have withdrawn his troops so easily.

    "But Lu Zhanwu also knew that compared to Chief Li at the headquarters, his strategic vision was limited to a small Jilin City, while the other party wanted to control the overall situation, which was obviously not what he could compare with.

    Therefore, after receiving the order from the headquarters, Lu Zhanwu did not hesitate and carried it out with all his strength!

    This is also one of the reasons why Lu Zhanwu is valued by Li Guoyao. Li Guoyao admires his attitude of faithfully implementing the orders of his superiors. No matter how dissatisfied and doubtful he is, as long as it is an order from his superiors, he will spare no effort to implement it.

    So even though Ma Zheng knew that Lu Zhanwu and Lu Fengying were from Yan'an, he still reused them all!

    At 8 o'clock in the morning on September 1, the Japanese army continued to launch a crazy attack on the Paolou Mountain and Changling lines.

    However, the Japanese army noticed an abnormality from the very beginning of the battle. Although the Chinese army on the position was still fighting tenaciously, its artillery never fired. This made the Japanese army a little puzzled as to what kind of medicine was being sold in the gourd of the Chinese army.  , so both sides played very cautiously during the two hours from eight o'clock to ten o'clock.

    This caution was mainly due to the Japanese. As the defensive side, the national army on the defending position only had one battalion of less than 500 troops, so they had no intention of taking the initiative to counterattack from the beginning.

    If the Japanese come up, they will fight back. If the opponent doesn't fight, they will be happy and relaxed.

    When the battle reached 10:30, the Japanese 75th Division successfully arrived outside Jilin City. Its division commander, Lieutenant General Kimura Yasuzo, after meeting with Ota Kameji, ordered the troops to move to the front line and join the battle.

    What made Ota Kameji and others feel depressed was that they fought for a whole day and night without defeating the Paoloushan and Changling positions, and even paid an extremely heavy price. However, less than half an hour after the 75th Division entered the battle,  The defenders actually withdrewwithdrew

    " Ota Kameji and all the Japanese officers in the entire former enemy headquarters are confused. If you want to withdraw, you should withdraw early. I have been fighting with you for a day and a night and you have made no move.

    ¡°As a result, the reinforcements arrived within half an hour, and they only launched two charges before occupying the position. Did you deliberately slap me in the face?

    There is definitely no deliberate slap in the face, but the withdrawal of troops after waiting for the 75th Division to enter the battle was deliberate. Lu Zhanwu had to ensure that the 111th Division and the 75th Division that arrived in Jilin were all engaged in the battle before he could withdraw, because this  It is related to the battle on the Western Front and Qiqihar Front.

    Despite this, the 75th Division did not take much advantage. Although the Chinese troops withdrew, they deployed a large number of landmines and booby traps along Paolou Mountain and Changling. The 75th Division was devastated when they occupied the position.  Not a small loss.

    What¡¯s more important is that the national army is withdrawing but not escaping.

    Although I withdrew from the position, I was not defeated. I continued to use various dangerous terrains to block the attack along the way, and combined with mines and booby traps to block the Japanese pursuit.

    "This move of the national army caused the 75th Division to suffer a lot. If they chase quickly, they will easily get beaten, but if they chase too slowly, they may lose people. It's so difficult!"

    While the Japanese 75th Division and the 111th Division were heavily attacking Lu Zhanwu's headquarters, on the Dunhua line, the 71st Division mobilized from North Korea was also storming Dunhua City.

    The defenders stationed in Dunhua only had one infantry regiment. Faced with the fierce attack of a Japanese division, the defenders responded calmly and blocked the attacks step by step.

    Although the Japanese army occupied Dashou Town southeast of Dunhua City on August 31, the distance from Dashou Town to Dunhua City was only thirty kilometers. The Japanese army was blocked for two days, especially at the Shenjiagou line.  Taking advantage of the terrain, the Chinese army held off the Japanese army for 24 hours with just one battalion.

    It wasn¡¯t until noon on September 1 that the 71st Division finally reached Dunhua City.

    However, when they were preparing to attack the city, they found that the city gate was open, there was not a single defender in the city, and there were not even many civilians. The entire Dunhua had almost become a desert.??Empty city.

    This made the commander of the Japanese 71st Division very angry. They came all the way from North Korea, and the troops themselves did not carry much strategic supplies. Most of the baggage troops brought weapons and ammunition, and they only carried 7 days' worth of supplies.

    In their opinion, 7 days is enough time for them to reach Jilin City, but now six days have passed and the troops have just reached Dunhua.

    Originally, they thought that they would be able to get supplies if they captured Dunhua City, but they did not expect that Dunhua would turn into an empty city. The more than 50,000 ordinary people in the city had left their buildings empty, and the entire city was deathly silent.

    "In fact, what the Japanese army didn't know was that this was the strong wall and clear field given to them by Lu Zhanwu's command.

    Anyway, the total number of men, women, old and children in Dunhua City was only 50,000, and it was easy to move forward, so Lu Zhanwu ordered his troops to block the Japanese army in the front while clearing the country behind.

    Although the Japanese army has occupied Dunhua, they are unable to raise food and other supplies on the spot. In desperation, they can only continue to order people to transport supplies from the directions of Tumen and Antu behind them.

    Originally, the 71st Division would continue to attack in the direction of Jiaohe River after occupying Dunhua, but now it is limited by supplies and can only temporarily station in Dunhua City and wait until supplies arrive before taking action.

    Although Lieutenant General Muto, the commander of the 71st Division, felt extremely aggrieved, he had nothing to do. He couldn't let his soldiers fight on an empty stomach, right?

    ??Besides, the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army on the opposite side is not comparable to that of the previous Resistance Alliance and Volunteer Army. If the army goes deep alone and has no supplies, it will be all over if it is beaten by others.

    Don¡¯t say it¡¯s impossible, the 108th Division¡¯s lessons learned from the past are there, and he doesn¡¯t want to follow Okazaki¡¯s footsteps!

    But no matter what, the war in the hinterland of the Puppet Manchukuo is still changing in a direction that is beneficial to the Japanese army. According to the current situation, let alone whether Li Guoyao's troops in the hinterland can be eliminated, recovering the lost towns should not be a problem.

    As long as the territory is not lost, for Yamada Otsuzo and others, it is equivalent to holding on to the basic territory. As for the number of casualties, this can be discussed with the base camp.

    After all, people will die in war, which is understandable in the base camp, but this battle resulted in more casualties than before.

    The most important thing is that the 108th Division that was annihilated this time was just a new unit that was established less than a month ago, and the soldiers were all new recruits who had just joined the army. There is actually nothing unacceptable about being wiped out by the main force of the national army.

    Of course, the premise is that you maintain your basic base. If you lose land and troops, it will definitely not be justified.

    Therefore, after receiving the report from the frontline troops, Yamada Otsuzo personally called the frontline troops and ordered them to speed up the attack, be sure to defeat the enemy forces in front of them, and then recapture Jiaohe, Shulan and other places. If possible,  Then Li Guoyao's troops that broke into the hinterland of Manchuria were all wiped out.

    Although this possibility is not high, Yamada Otsuzo still sent it to the front line in a clear way. You have to have a dream. What if it comes true?

    However, Yamada Otosan and others did not know that while they were busy dealing with the national army in the hinterland of the Northeast, Fuxin and Chaoyang, located in the southwest of Fengtian, were being targeted by Li Guoyao's troops. It was really a mantis stalking the cicada.  The bird is behind.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
