"Tang zx, Chengde was lost. Just now, there were only 128 enemies!" Bolshu felt it was necessary to tell Tang Yulin the news.

If it weren't for him, Chengde might not have been captured by the Japanese army so early, and the battle situation in Rehe would not have been drastically deteriorated.

The Japanese army is now in a high morale, which will have a huge impact on the subsequent defense of Chifeng.

Time, what Chifeng needs most now is time!

Chengde's loss intensified the passage of time, and the battle to defend Chifeng was about to be advanced. The Japanese army would never wait until Chifeng was ready before attacking!

No commander would make such a mistake!

Tang Yulin was sitting in the car, with a special forces member on each side, and his expression seemed very lonely, and a decadent feeling emanated from his body.

He has lost his fighting spirit!

"Start!" The convoy that stretched for several kilometers came out of Fengning County, and their destination would be a paddock more than 200 kilometers away.

According to the speed and road conditions, they need to walk for at least five or six hours to arrive, but this is the ideal situation!

I rushed to the paddock before dark, this was Bolshu's plan!

Zhang Haipeng's reinforcements arrived, but were surrounded by Wang Rong's army in the area of ​​Bianshao Town, Tongyu County. Wang Benqing's first detachment, Fu Mingxun's fourth detachment, and Japanese advisory team. Three thousand people were surrounded by two regiments led by Wang Rong and a supplementary regiment of Hu Baoshan and nearly five thousand people!

Under the command of Japanese military advisers, the two sides launched a fierce battle!

At the same time, Lu Shan also issued a general attack order against Taonan!

At 6:20 am on the 7th, the battle to attack Taonan began. Zhang Yihuo served as the commander-in-chief of the siege. He commanded the 1st Brigade and the two regiments under the 183rd Division Li Haiqing. Nearly 10,000 troops launched a fierce attack on Taonan!

Sixty-forty-three points. The siege troops broke through the gap in the south and entered Taonan City. Although the Taoliao puppet army fought to the death under the Japanese army's supervision team, it was not enough to block the general trend. The siege troops rushed into the city like a flood!

At 7:24, the siege troops broke through the city defense at camera, entered the city area, and started street fighting with the Japanese and puppet troops!

The Taoliao puppet army had already lost its morale and combat effectiveness at this time. When they encountered the siege troops, they were about to collapse. However, the Japanese army resisted stubbornly, causing certain troubles to the siege troops.

However, the Japanese army had only one squadron in total, and it was scattered to four urban areas. Since they resisted stubbornly, they had to eliminate it!

At 7:52, the first regiment and battalion of the 1st Brigade of the 1st Brigade attacked Zhang Haipeng’s Taoliao Puppet Army Headquarters and captured Zhang Haipeng and other Taoliao Puppet Army generals and Japanese advisory groups who were hiding in the underground secret room alive!

Taonan has returned to the hands of the people of Northeast China!

The blue sky and white sun flag once again rose on the Taonan city tower and fluttered in the wind!

Afterwards, a massive city entry ceremony was held in Taonan City. Nearly 10,000 officers and soldiers from the 1st Brigade and the 183rd Division lined up in an orderly manner, singing the heroic Northeast Anti-Japanese and Democratic Alliance Army's military song tongguo, the most prosperous street in Taonan City, Xinglong Street!

The people in Taonan were excited and rushed to the streets to welcome the Eastern Anti-Japanese troops entering the city.

"Okay, I will take Taonan in less than two hours. Zhang Yihu fought beautifully in this battle, haha..." Lu Shan laughed happily after receiving Zhang Yihu's telegram.

"The 1st Brigade of the Teaching Brigade is the most capable unit in our East Anti-Japanese War and the best equipped unit. The Taoliao puppet army is not an opponent, so this is destined!" Ying Ruoyu also smiled.

"Lao Ying, it's time for us to move!"

"Yes, Taonan has been taken down by us, Baicheng is already in the rear!" Ying Ruoyu said with a smile.

"The railway from Baicheng to Taonan can be reopened to traffic!"

"Well, this is a good thing, and it will be much more convenient to interact in the future!" Ying Ruoyu nodded.

"I wonder how Wang Rong was blocking Zhang Haipeng's reinforcements in Tongyu?"

"It's just a puppet army, which can be handled by Commander Wang!" Ying Ruoyu smiled, "I don't know what President Lu plans to go next?"

"I haven't decided on the next step yet, so I'd better wait for Wang Rong's battle report to come first!" Lu Shan thought for a while and said.

"Okay!" Ying Ruoyu nodded, occupying Taonan, and eastward resistance are all options, whether it is going south or advancing eastward, but it depends on the changes in the battle situation!

"Feng Yun, let's go to Taonan in the afternoon if we should prepare the equipment!" Lu Shan called Feng Yun and ordered.

"yes!"

Tongliao, Kwantung Army East Route Army Command.

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, Taonan urgently sent a telegram!" Adjutant Matsuki broke into Koikiki's command center without knocking on the door, which shocked the Japanese commanders inside who were celebrating the occupation of Chengde.

"Pinewood, what's the matter?" Koiki Aki didn't care about Mainewood's rudeness. He knew that if it weren't for a big deal, Mainewood wouldn't be so reckless.

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, Taonan is lost!" Matsuki Yuichi lowered his head slightly and said in a heavy tone.

"Pinemu, what did you say? Taonan is lost. What's going on?" Kojiki Kōō was so shocked that he almost couldn't hold the wine glass in his hand.

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, this is the last farewell telegram sent back by Colonel Sakuma. Please read it!" Matsuki Yuichi handed over a folder and said.

Koikikiyo put down the wine glass in his hand, and when he opened the folder, his face suddenly changed.

This is the last farewell message from Colonel Sakuma, which was 7:50.

"How could this happen? Taonan was not good yesterday. Sakuma Jun also said that Taonan could hold on for at least one week, why did it take less than a day?" Koiki Akira asked, "Reinforcements, where are the reinforcements? Haven't the reinforcements arrived?"

"His Chief of Staff, the reinforcements were surrounded by the army when they marched into Tongyu. Another reinforcements had been defeated by the Chinese army before. Tongyu is now in the hands of the Chinese army!" Matsuki Yuichi said.

"Why don't I know these news?"

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, all the subordinates have reported to you, but you didn't care about these things at that time, so..."

Koikiki Aki remembered that he was not too concerned about the news, mainly because the two battlefields of Shanhaiguan and Chengde were all involved in his attention.

Upon hearing this news, the officers in the command center quickly dispersed, leaving only a few people without leaving.

Taonan’s strategy is very important. When Taonan loses, the Chinese army’s military front is right in front of us. Koijiki Kōō immediately felt a huge wēixié!

The Chinese army came for Chifeng, and Koikiki Aki immediately thought that it was the Chinese army's troops fighting against the Kantong Army in Chifeng and Kailu!

"Why!"

Only a sigh came, Koiki Aki looked up and saw Ishihara smiling as he shook his head and sighed.

"Ishihara, why are you sighing?" Koiki Akira asked.

"What I sighed is that our judgments were wrong before. The Chinese army may be incompatible with the Northeast Army, but the Chinese army will never affect national interests because of this discord. The demeanor and mind of the Chinese army leader are definitely not comparable to General Zhang of Peking!" Ishihara smiled.

"What Ishihara-kun means is that the actions of the Chinese army are to rescue Inu River?" Koiki Akira asked again!

"It may be just a part of the rescue of Atak River, but the Chinese army still sent troops when they lacked their own strength. Why?" Ishihara smiled, "They are consistent with our intentions!"

"I hope to hear it carefully!"

"If we occupy the Rehe River, then Mongolia is in control, and they are limited to North Manchuria, which means being sandwiched by Manchuria and the Soviet Union. When the Soviet Union needs them, they may give some assistance, but if one day the Soviet Union does not need them, or they want to annex them directly, then their situation will be very difficult!" Ishihara Kaner said, "So they need a broader living space, and then Mongolia is naturally their best choice and the only choice!" Ishihara Kaner explained.

"Well, it makes sense, but this doesn't seem to have much to do with the current situation?" Koiki Akira Koi.

"This is the layout of the Chinese army. If our army occupy Rehe, it will continue to advance westward and gradually control Inner Mongolia. At that time, their way to west will be blocked, and their connections with the pass will be completely interrupted. At that time, they will completely rely on the Soviet Union and become vassals of the Soviet Union!" Ishihara said.

"Become a vassal of the Soviet Union?"

"Yes, once they become vassals of the Soviet Union, it is definitely not a good thing for us, but it is hard to say whether they choose to fight or accept it!" Ishihara smiled.

"What choice do Ishihara Jun thinks they will make?" Tada Jun asked.

"If we block their way westward, then they are likely to force them to become vassals of the Soviet Union and even become ruthless. If we give them a glimmer of life, then they are unwilling to be controlled by others. At that time, if the Soviet Union is too tight, they may even break up completely!" Ishihara said.

"This is all your analysis, it's too early to become a fact, right?" Tada Junda.

"Yes, this is just my analysis. It will be caused by multiple reasons to become a fact. For the Chinese army in North Manchuria, even a base camp cannot come up with an effective response plan. This is the biggest mistake!"

"No matter what, the Chinese army cannot turn enemies into friends with us. This is the most fundamental one!" Tada Junda, "If I were to give my principles, I would definitely choose our established Manchuria-Mongolia strategy."

"Yes, Manchus and Mongolia are the lifeline of the empire, and this cannot be changed no matter what. Manchus and Mongolia are yiti and belong to the empire. Ishihara, I don't want to listen to your words anymore!" Koiki Akira said heavily.

"I understand, Mr. Koi!" Ishihara Kanir was not dissatisfied. He just analyzed and did not propose a specific strategy. In fact, no method would be beneficial to Japan.

Choosing the first containment strategy may really push the Dong Kang into the arms of the Soviets, but even if the policy of politeness is adopted, it may not necessarily resolve the current hostile relationship!

Dong Kang has not only reached the Manchuria and Mongolian strategy of the Great Japanese Empire, but has also grown into an opponent that must be faced with!

As a Japanese, Ishihara Kanir certainly doesn't want his country's opponents to become stronger and stronger. He is very qingchu and understands that Koi Iso Kan Aki doesn't want to hear his objective and calm analysis!

"His Excellency Chief of Staff, I think we must curb the attack of the Chinese army now, otherwise it will affect our next battle deployment in the Ate River!" Jundo Tada.

"What are the good strategies for Tada-kun?"

"First of all, we must predict the next move of the Chinese army and make their next plans to make targeted defenses!" Junda Tada.

"What do you think the Chinese army will do next?" Koiki Akira asked.

"The Chinese army will definitely go south in the next step, but they will attack there. It's not yet qingchu, but Beizhi believes that either they don't take action, and one move will definitely be extremely fierce!" Jun Tada.

"Well, Tada-kun's analysis makes sense!" Koiki Aki nodded.

"Weizhi feels that if we stand from the perspective of the Chinese army, the next direction of their attack should be Zhengjiatun. Zhengjiatun is a railway transshipment node and is of extraordinary importance. Once the Chinese army occupy Zhengjiatun, it is equivalent to cutting off our connection with Xinjing. Although our main supply of materials does not exist, the Chinese army occupy Zhengjiatun and can go south to attack Tongliao, or advance east to cut off the South Manchuria Railway and surround Xinjing!" Tada Jun used his hand on the map.

Sure enough, an encirclement was formed, and the target was Xinjing, the capital of the pseudo-Manchukuo!

Koi Iso Kan Aki looked at the map and was shocked. If this strategic intention was achieved, then the puppet Manchukuo would be in danger. Once the country was captured, the Kwantung Army would be in vain after working hard for more than a year!

Koikiki Aki was a little bitter. Although Xinjing's 14th Division of the East Army, the 38th Brigade and the railway garrison troops, the total strength was less than 30,000, and the puppet army could also raise 40,000 to 50,000.

Logically speaking, there are so many troops, and the weapons and equipment are not bad. If you stick to the city, the Chinese army will definitely not be able to take over without 200,000 troops!

Does the Chinese army have 200,000? There is definitely not. Moreover, with the current strength of the Chinese army, even if it has collected 200,000, it may not be able to conquer it!

If you can't fight, but if a country's capital is surrounded, then the political influence will be great. Can the Kwantung Army bear such a result?

Is this the Chinese people’s strategy of “surrounding Wei and saving Zhao”?

"Ishihara, what do you think?" Koikiki Akira's hands trembled slightly and asked at Ishihara's silent Silent Kanji.

"It is very likely to attack Zhengjiatun, but if the Chinese army wants to continue to advance eastward and surround Xinjing, I don't think it means much!" Ishihara smiled.

"Why?"

"At this stage, the Chinese army does not need to do this to achieve the goal of reducing the pressure on the battlefield in Rehe. If the Chinese army captures Zhengjiatun, then Tongliao will be under his wēixié, and our army will have to transfer heavy troops back to the rescue. At that time, the pressure on Chifeng will inevitably be reduced. Moreover, he can attack, retreat and defend, and advance and retreat freely in Zhengjiatun. We must deploy heavy troops in Siping, Changtu, Gongzhuling and other places. Now the troops in these three places are insufficient, so we must draw some troops to head north. We must also garrison troops in Rehe to deal with the possible counterattack of the Northeast Army. Therefore, unless we give up the attack on Chifeng, it would be quite good to have a division in the total force of attacking Chifeng!" Ishihara Kaner analyzed.

"One division is enough!" Tada Jun, "We still have planes and armored vehicles. The Chinese army does not even have artillery, so they are not our opponents at all!"

"Tada-kun, before that, their equipment was worse than us and they didn't have artillery, but why were we defeated?" Ishihara asked back.

"Has Ishihara Jun made an excuse for himself?" Tada Jun snorted.

"For the vast majority of Chinese people, we are outsiders, Tada-kun, you have to understand this!" Ishihara smiled.
Chapter completed!
