    On March 28, after four days of rapid march, Li Guoyao, protected by more than 200 special forces members and more than 4,000 elite cavalry, marched westward through Wuchang and Yushu, then turned south through Songyuan, and finally arrived in South Manchuria.  The important town is Nandaheishan, east of Chaoyang.

    At the same time, under the orders of Xu Hu and others, a large number of national army troops also successively crossed the Chengde, Lingyuan, Pingquan and Chaoyang areas controlled by the Japanese army and arrived in the hinterland of southern Manchuria.

    The whole process was silent, and neither the Japanese frontline troops nor the intelligence agencies in the rear were aware of it!

    In fact, even if the Japanese army discovered it, Li Guoyao wouldn't care.

    Before the Japanese army launched a counterattack, the density of the Kwantung Army in southern Manchuria was still considerable. It would be very difficult to capture the entire southern Manchuria in one fell swoop with the help of these two front armies on the southern front.

    But now, after this major counterattack, the Japanese army has lost more than 80,000 elite troops on the southern front. It is impossible for the remaining tens of thousands of people to defend such a large territory. The entire South Manchuria is like a  In a dilapidated house with air leakage everywhere, a wall can be knocked down with just one kick.

    ¡°Now even if the Japanese army knew that the Chinese army was going to counterattack, I am afraid they would not have the ability to counterattack.

    After arriving at Nanda Montenegro, Li Guoyao immediately ordered the South Manchurian Front Army headquarters to move to Laoye Ridge on the Jinzhou front line. At the same time, his headquarters also moved there. It is expected that the two sides will meet at Laoye Ridge on the 29th.

    On the night of the 29th, the two armies finally met in victory at Laoye Ridge. Then, under the auspices of Li Guoyao, a significant combat meeting began in a secret cave on Laoye Ridge.

    A huge cave deep in the jungle was brightly lit. Since there were no tables, chairs or benches, all the senior commanders, including Li Guoyao, sat on the ground. A huge military map was laid flat on the ground. Although it was simple, it was full of ceremony.

    After everyone arrived, Li Guoyao said immediately: "Now let's start the meeting. Deputy Commander Xu, let's talk about your current situation first!"

    Xu Hu immediately said: "Report to the commander, our South Manchuria Front currently has a total of six divisions of field troops, in addition to 3 artillery brigades, 4 cavalry brigades, 2 air defense brigades, and three transportation regiments, with a total of 12 soldiers  Sixteen thousand people, equipped with 13,000 long and short guns, more than 12,600 light and heavy machine guns, 655 mortars, 208 Type 92 infantry guns, 66 75mm caliber mountain guns, 75mm caliber mountain guns  There are 28 field guns, 32 76mm Soviet-made land combat cannons, and two hundred combat tanks.¡±

    "Are these troops at the top now?" Li Guoyao asked again.

    "The First Division is in Datieshan east of Lingyuan, the Second Division is in Laohuwozi, the Third Division and the troops directly under the front army are in Pingdingshan and Taipinggou in the southeast of Chaoyang, the Fourth and Fifth Divisions are in Gancao Ridge in the northeast of Jianchang, 6  The division is near the front army headquarters!" Xu Hu replied.

    "Okay, your situation is better than I expected! Now let's talk about my purpose of going south this time and for you to gather all the troops!"

    As he spoke, Li Guoyao drew a big circle on the military map in front of him with the teaching stick in his hand, and then continued: "I want this place!"

    Seeing the expected surprised looks in everyone's eyes, Li Guoyao smiled and said: "You are right, our battle goal this time is the entire South Manchuria. We not only want to capture South Manchuria, but also capture all the people in South Manchuria.  All the Japanese and puppet troops have been wiped out, what do you think?"

    As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Hu said in a deep voice: "Commander, although the southern Manchuria area is currently empty of troops, the Japanese army can deploy troops from Fengtian and Shanhaiguan areas to reinforce nearby counties at any time, but we are currently surrounded by little Japs.  If you are not careful, you may be gathered together by the Japanese army and annihilated!"

    Li Guoyao shook his head and said: "Half a year ago, the Japanese army might have had that strength, but now, let's forget it. Even if we tell the little devils that we are going to attack Southern Manchuria, they can't mobilize more troops to encircle and suppress us.  Got it!"

    "Commander, even if the Japanese army does not have the strength to encircle and annihilate us, with its troops south of Fengtian and north of Shanhaiguan, it will not be easy for us to annihilate each other!" Zhou Dafu said immediately.

    "Then it depends on how we fight. My plan is to concentrate our forces and besiege this place first!" Li Guoyao said, pointing to a point on the map.

    "Jinzhou?"

    "Yes, it is Jinzhou. Jinzhou is the most important point between Shanhaiguan and Fengtian City. Its geographical location makes it a major strategic stronghold. If Jinzhou is captured, our army will be able to advance southward to the North China Plain and retreat.  It can cut off the communication lines inside and outside the pass. If you want to completely eliminate the Japanese and puppet troops in southern Manchuria, Jinzhou City is definitely the key!" Li Guoyao said.

      However, Xu Hu said: "Commander, the importance of Jinzhou is undoubtedly undoubted, but the little devils are not vegetarians. They also know that this is the most important land passage connecting Shanhaiguan and outside, so they arranged it at the throat of Jinzhou  Heavy troops."

    "Jinzhou's defense plan includes the 63rd Division, 107th Division, 117th Division, and the 9th Independent Tank Brigade of the 44th Army, plus the troops on the front lines of Rehe and Fengtian, which are single division-level combat units.  There are no less than six. In addition, the Japanese army also has a large number of technical arms in the South Manchuria area, such as the 5th Tank Brigade, the 21st Regiment, the 30th Regiment of Field Heavy Artillery, the 29th Independent Rapid-Fire Artillery Battalion, the Independent  The 14th Field Artillery Battalion, the 6th Independent Heavy Artillery Squadron, etc.!"

    Xu Hu then continued: "In addition to these, the geographical environment of Jinzhou is also easy to defend and difficult to attack. Jinzhou is surrounded by mountains, and is bordered by Xiaoling River and Nvnu River in the south. The terrain is dangerous. According to our investigation, the Japanese army relied on Fortress Mountain,  "Shuangshanzi Xishan, Hanwangdian Nanshan, Zijingshan, Liangmashan and other highlands use reinforced concrete fortifications as the backbone to form a number of independent strongholds in the form of support points as peripheral positions."

    "At the same time, the main position is formed by relying on the Xiaoling River, Nuer River and the city wall, and the core stronghold of the inner city is formed by the tall buildings in the city, such as the Jiaotong University, Japanese and puppet shrines, China Textile Company, and the old city."

    ¡°In order to defend Jinzhou, the Japanese army also formed an independent 79th Brigade under Major General Okabe Tunmichi in Yixian, a regiment of the 63rd Division in Gaoqiao, and the 117th Division in Jinxi, Huludao and Xingcheng.  The 136th Division is located on the line between Suizhong, Shanhaiguan, Qinhuangdao and Beidaihe. In addition, there are heavy troops from two divisions directly under the direct jurisdiction of the Guandong Army Headquarters on the Fengtian line. We have no advantage in terms of strength or firepower!"

    However, within two months, he said lightly: "This is indeed the case on the surface, but the actual situation is that the forces of the seven divisions of the Japanese army are scattered in an area of ??more than 500,000 square kilometers, with a length from east to east Hebei in the north and south.  To Fengtian, the east-west span is from Chengde to Jinzhou, and there are 74 counties, districts and large and medium-sized cities in the region."

    "In addition, several divisions of the Japanese 44th Army were the main force in this battle. Most of the troops suffered heavy losses. Apart from the puppet troops who were used as cannon fodder, the Japanese army was at least reduced in number.  Fifty thousand people. In other words, there are only 50,000 Japanese troops near Jinzhou and on the front line of Rehe."

    "We are not using hundreds of thousands of troops to fight against hundreds of thousands of Japs. Instead, we are using hundreds of thousands of troops to fight against the tens of thousands of people near Jinzhou. Coupled with the fact that the enemy is overt and we are hidden, and the Japanese troops are dispersed, our chances of victory are  More than 80%.¡±

    Xu Hu and others looked carefully at the map, and then conducted a simple deduction and found that what Li Guoyao said was not unreasonable.

    Although the Japanese and puppet troops in southern Manchuria are indeed large in strength, they are relatively scattered.  In particular, the Japanese army had just recaptured Rehe and urgently needed a large number of troops to defend the area. Therefore, they had to shrink their troops and increase troops to the front line of Rehe, so that the defensive power of the entire Jinzhou area was severely weakened.

    On the other hand, the National Army, not to mention how many troops Lu Dashan has, their South Manchurian Front alone has a small number of 130,000 troops, and the weapons and equipment are not bad at all. In addition to having no air superiority, they can definitely fight the Japanese soldiers head-on.  knock.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Although the Little Devils have a second line of air force outside the customs, under the attack of the US military combat aircraft fleet, the losses of this second line of air force are not small. At present, there are less than 150 fighters that can take off.

    With this number in mind, the national army¡¯s air defense force can barely handle it.

    The most important thing is that compared to a vast area of ??hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, the impact of just a few hundred fighters is really not that big.

    From this point of view, there is still a chance of winning this battle. It just depends on how Li Guoyao plans to fight!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
