"His Excellency Commander, the Flight Team reported that their reconnaissance aircraft had lost contact, and my Xinmin defender witnessed that one of my reconnaissance aircraft was blown up by the Chinese army. The Chinese army attacking Xinmin carried air defense weapons, which shows that they are not ordinary troops!" Sakamoto Masaemon came prepared and continued, "There are only a handful of air defense weapons in the Chinese army, and in most cases, the air defense forces are fixedly deployed, but they did not do so. What does it mean?"

"Have you found the number of the Chinese army?"

"The Xinmin Guards report, they look very young, but they are definitely well-trained and have a very fierce fighting style. They are not inferior to any unit of the Great Japanese Empire. They should be the main force of the Chinese army's east resistance!" Sakamoto Masaemondo, "I checked it. In addition to the 183rd Division stationed in Zhengjiatun and the 36th Division in Chifeng, the closest to us is the 181st Division moved to Taonan area half a year ago!"

"The 181st Division, isn't it adapted from the 1st brigade of the Chinese Army's most elite Eastern Anti-Japanese War, and the troops raiding Harbin?" Kariri Takashi said in surprise.

"Yes, according to the information we have, the 181st Division is one of the two main forces of the East Anti-Japanese War. Another unit is the 182nd Division of the 32nd Army stationed in Benxi. The 11th Division suffered losses under its command, and its combat effectiveness is obvious to all!" Sakamoto Masaemon Doha.

"Isakamoto-kun, what do you mean?"

"The strength of a brigade seems a little thin. I want to draw another brigade to support the 39th Brigade attacking from Yingkou and Banyama to attack the Chinese army!" Sakamoto Masaemondo. "In addition, the 8th Division stationed in Jinxi can be used to dispatch part of its troops to attack Yi Prefecture, support, and restrain the Chinese army and regain control of the railway line!"

"Which unit is going to be drawn by Sakamoto?" Kaririri asked for a moment of pondering.

"Sakamoto has no right to mobilize any troops, everything will be decided by the commander!" Sakamoto Masaemon said solemnly.

"It's okay, tell me what you think. I just took office not long ago. I still don't know much about the situation in Manchuria!" Kariri Takashi waved.

"Commander, Sakamoto feels that the situation in Manchuria is like a person stepping on a wire rope. If he is not careful, he will fall into the abyss. The Kanto Army seems to be a very huge force, but it is scattered and even the command of each unit is difficult to coordinate. This causes us to fail to deal with it quickly once the Chinese army takes action. It is not that our troops are not enough to use, but that we are too radical in strategy!"

"Speak!"

"Sakamoto feels that in addition to repelling the provocation of the Chinese army's east resistance, there is more important thing. The policy of gentleness towards Manchukuo is now like a rebellious boy. If parents are too strict in their management, they will inevitably rebound, but if we give them more understanding and more space to give him a relaxed environment to grow up. Then, over time, we will understand the painstaking efforts of our parents. At that time, Manchu will be a natural thing to integrate into the empire!"

"Kun Sakamoto, your ideas are very insightful, and I will consider them carefully!" Kariri nodded.

"Some of Sakamoto's Asahide makes the Commander laugh!"

"Hey, what you said inspired me very much. The battle situation is important now. Put political matters aside first. The Chinese army is in a fierce and aggressive manner. If this is inappropriate, the Kanto Army's reputation will be ruined!" said Takashi Kariri.

"Yes, the China army must be repelled, otherwise our interests in Manchuria will suffer huge losses!"

"Your Excellency Commander..."

"What's the matter?" Kariri Takashi was a little unhappy. He talked to Sakamoto Masaemon and no one was allowed to disturb him.

"The Chinese Army Dongkong issued a nationwide power supply early this morning, which is the whole content of the power supply!" The adjutant handed over a telegram manuscript.

"Baga, the evil people of the Chinese army complain first..."

"Your Excellency Commander, can you let me see it?" Sakamoto Masae Ee's goalkeeper took the telegram and took a look, and his face changed drastically.

"His Excellency Commander, Tokyo has already known all the content of the telegram, and we are very passive now..."

"Mr. Commander, I think this matter must be a conspiracy of the Chinese people, and we must not admit it!"

"The Chinese people caught the evidence and physical evidence, how can we refute it?"

"It has always been normal for mutual spying in military exercises. This is just a normal observation and temptation. Even if it is a bit over, isn't that military exercise force intentionally provoking the area we control?"

"The key is that our personnel are wearing Chinese military uniforms!"

"What is this evidence? Could it be that the Chinese army forced our soldiers to put on afterwards? Anyway, they are all their people!"

"This is clearly because the Chinese army provoked first, and we fought back later, but the Chinese army complained to the evil ones first!"

"Yes, just criticize this argument to let the people understand the sinister intentions and despicableness of the Chinese army!" Kariri Takashi instructed.

"Hayi!"

At 17:37 p.m. on the 17th, news of Xinmincheng being captured came. At this point, the first phase of Lushan's "Luolu Rehe" combat plan was completed.

Hesitated that the Liaohe Railway Bridge was bombed, and the Japanese reinforcements were reinforced, and the 39th Brigade was forced to temporarily station in Xinglongdian on the east bank of the Liaohe River.

The Japanese army began to collect ships crossing the river and build pontoon bridges.

Because Lin Xiaoguang had foresight, he asked Company Commander Sun to collect and transfer some ships along the east bank of the Liao River in advance. The Japanese army could only look for ships crossing the river further, so the time lags!

In order to prevent the Japanese army from crossing the river by breaking the whole into pieces, Lin Nan sent out the cavalry battalion directly under the brigade headquarters and the reconnaissance company, and also built a defensive position on the west bank of the Liao River to form a confrontation with the Japanese army on the east bank!

The two sides stopped in a tacit understanding across the Liao River!

Xinmincheng has been captured, and Yokoyama is even less in a hurry to attack. He has to find out the situation of his opponent and wait for the field artillery brigade to step up, especially the ammunition and drug supply. Faced with the powerful Dong Kang, he must be well prepared before he can start the war!

The lessons learned from Zheng Jiatun’s failure told him that contempt and underestimate the Chinese army in the east against the east will cost a considerable price!

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the Japanese army gathered all the ships that could cross the river and launched a tentative attack.

The Japanese army dispatched two squadrons to launch a river crossing battle on the front of about 300 meters. Under the cover of artillery and aircraft, they rushed to the east resistance and attack positions on the west bank!

The 181st brigade 1st Battalion, the 1st Battalion of the 1st Brigade, which was the original main battalion of the teaching brigade, and the absolute main force of the Shancheng and Harbin. Seventy percent of the battalion's combat experience are veterans with rich combat experience. It can be said that in addition to Langya, the 1st Battalion is the most powerful under the battalion level organization.

Of course, this battalion is also absolutely powerful. There are no artillery above 100 mm, but the infantry cannons of 70 mm are equipped with four. Not to mention other mortars and grenade launchers, the combined light and heavy machine guns must be 60, and a small number of German submachine guns are equipped. This firepower level is definitely the best in the entire Dongkong.

This is the firepower equipment of a battalion, and a regiment is not so generous.

This is the treatment of the main battalion, and the first battalion of the first battalion is not only the main battalion, but also the main reinforcement battalion.

There are 800 people in the country, and there are not so many people in a regiment, and they are all veterans of the hundred battles.

The combat effectiveness of this battalion can be imagined!

A tentative attack by the Japanese was like a tickling. Before the ship could dock, more than one-third of the casualties were killed or injured.

Many of them fell into the Liaohe River and drowned. The poor Japanese, who didn’t even learn how to swim, did they come to swim in armed ways? Isn’t that asking for death?

The smoke of gunpowder blew away slightly, and the banks of the Liao River, which were originally green and green, turned into potholes, as if they were gnawed by a dog.

The farmland was blown up with holes, and the area was filled with blown mud and burning corpses...

"Yongshan, your judgment is correct. Our opponent is indeed very unusual. I just observed carefully. The combat quality and tactical cooperation of their soldiers are not inferior to our army, and their weapons and equipment are not inferior to us. This is a powerful opponent!" The captain of the 77th Regiment, Tetsuzo Nakajima, told Yokoyama Yuki.

"Our enemies are different from what we knew before. For such an enemy, we must re-understand and recognize them and find their weaknesses so that we can defeat the enemy!" Yokoyama said with a cold expression.

"Hongyama-kun, have you found their weakness?" asked Nakajima Tetsuzo.

"Where is Lieutenant Iwasaki, bring him to see me!" Yokoyama Yu ordered.

"Hayi!"

"Your Excellency, Iwasaki salutes you!"

"Pinant Iwasaki, tell me about your encounter with the vanguard of the Chinese army?" Yokoyama asked.

"They are well-equipped, very brave, and very skilled in tactics. They are obviously professional soldiers!" Lieutenant Iwasaki lowered his head and said.

"Your injury?"

"Thank you for your concern, no problem!" Iwasaki said.

"If one-on-one, do you think the Warriors of the Empire will win and lose compared to them?" Yokoyama asked.

"this……"

"It's okay, you boldly say that I want everyone here to re-recognize. Our enemy is not as weak as we imagined. If we have such an understanding and attitude, then we will fail in the next battle. Do you understand!" Yokoyama Yong sternly reminded many officers in the temporary command center.

"Your Excellency, I think if it is one-on-one, the outcome is equal!" said Lieutenant Iwasaki.

"I heard that Lieutenant Iwasaki fought with the Chinese army and was injured. You know Lieutenant Iwasaki's usual behavior, so I don't need to confirm his words, you should also know!" Yokoyama Yuki said.

"Your Excellency, the railway bridge was blown up by the Chinese army, and we did not collect enough ferries. What should we do next?" Captain Gu Shunzao, the second squadron of the 28th Cavalry Regiment, stood up and asked.

"Continue to collect ferries from the upstream and downstream. Before dark, I need to have enough ferries!" Yokoyama Yu ordered.
Chapter completed!
