Tonghua and the Eastern Column General Command are about to fight, and the tense atmosphere makes each department busier than usual.

Lu Shan only slept for four hours a day now. According to his predictions, the attack of the 9th Division of the Japanese was about to arrive soon.

Today is the 24th, tomorrow is the 25th, and at the earliest tomorrow morning, the Japanese should take action. The Ninth Division is one of the few elite troops among the 17 standing divisions of the Japanese army, second only to the Second and Sixth Divisions. It is known as the "double wall" with the 18th Division. This is by no means a joke.

It has been twenty days since the East Column sneak attack on Fengtian Dongta Airport.

The Southern Group commanded by Lei Dong also delayed the Japanese 14th Division for 18 days. During these 18 days, Lei Dong suffered a lot and almost used all the power at hand to barely block the attack of the Japanese 14th Division.

But Lu Shan and Lei Dong knew that if it weren't for the supply problems in the 14th Division of the Japanese Army and the division of troops to attack, he would not be able to hold on now.

Moreover, the intention of the 14th Division is very obvious, which is to attract the troops of the Eastern Column to the southern Liaoning line. In this way, the 9th Division launches a sudden attack from the northern line and can quickly open up the situation!

In addition to the feint attack of the 14th Division, the 9th Division deliberately stayed in Fengtian, which also had the purpose of seducing the enemy.

It was to order the Eastern Zong to arrange heavy troops on the Qingyuan line of Fushun, so that the troops on the northern line would be even weaker.

After Lu Shan learned of the Japanese conspiracy, he boldly transferred two regiments to support Lei Dong, and he only released one regiment in Fushun. Then he transferred Li Chunrun's first brigade stationed in Qingyuan to the north. It means that in addition to one regiment in Fushun, there were only some militias and police left on the front line of Qingyuan in Fushun to maintain order and keep in and out as they are. Li Chunrun's brigade headquarters also remained in Qingyuan for the time being, to confuse the Japanese army.

Then the military corps of Guo Jingshan of Xinbin and the military corps of Zhang Zongzhou of Huan Ren were also ordered to be transferred to Tonghua.

Qin Shiyu took away three divisions of the Construction Corps, ten regiments and 15,000 people, and went north to support Wang Rong's Ninth Brigade. Lu Shan concentrated the four divisions of the Agricultural Reclamation in the Bianjiang, Linjiang, Fusong and Jiangyuan.

This is equivalent to artificially splitting the Dongman Yanji area from Liaodong, and Qin Shiyu has to face a single side of the army.

This is also impossible. Too long defense line is the biggest disadvantage of the Eastern Column at present, because there are not so many troops stationed. It is undoubtedly a taboo for military strategists to divide troops little by little, while the Japanese army is different. He is the attacking side and can leave a small part of the troops in the rear and attack with all his strength.

But once they attack and conquer the territory, they will have to divide their troops to garrison. However, the 9th Division is an outsider and he is here to fight. {} He has to leave after the battle, and the defense issues behind will be handled by the relevant Eastern Army.

Therefore, the Ninth Division doesn't need anything behind the butt, beat it down, get some benefits, and throw it to others to deal with.

Such a battle is so comfortable.

Perhaps because the war was about to begin, both sides seemed to have a tacit understanding, and the smell of gunpowder in the hot air became stronger.

On the 23rd, the Kwantung Army Command issued a summer bandit suppression order. On the 24th, the order was quickly and secretly issued to each combat unit. The Kwantung Army not only targeted an anti-Japanese armed force in the East Column, but also all anti-Japanese armed forces in the entire Manchuria, including Su Bingwen, Ding, Li, Feng, etc. who were active in Jihei's anti-Japanese rescue, Li Gang, and Fu Dianchen, Yantong Mountain, etc. The volunteers in western Liaoning were also clearing the lineup this time!

It can be said that Muto Nobuyoshi wanted to eliminate the anti-Japanese armed forces in the three northeastern provinces with his strong superior forces.

He had already arranged this plan, but the Dong Zong had done it in Fengtian, and not only did he get rid of one of his airports, but he lost nearly 100 army aviation troops, but also planes, especially the Fengtian Arsenal, which almost broke his plan.

If it hadn't been arranged long ago, some of the arms and materials were transferred and hoarded at various key points, the Kwantung Army would have no financial resources to launch this summer offensive.

However, it still delayed the time when Muto Nobuyi launched this summer offensive. He originally planned to launch an attack immediately after the 14th and 9th Divisions entered Manchuria, but now he has delayed it for at least ten days.

Even Muto Nobuyi himself was almost punished. He took a lot of effort to agree to the agreement between the Ministry of Army and the Cabinet during this bandit suppression operation.

Therefore, for Muto Nobuyi, he could not lose this battle. If he lost, even if he was not sanctioned, he would be transferred to the reserve service. And there was no hope of the supreme glory of the soldier "Martin" in this life.

But no one expected that a small Lianshan Pass would shake Muto Nobuyi before launching this summer bandit suppression offensive, and cast a shadow on this summer offensive!

During the battle of Lianshan Pass, an elite brigade of the 14th Division of the Japanese Army was broken. This battle shocked Manchuria and the world!

There were no examples of the Japanese army being wiped out before, but it was much more shocking than this time, because at Lianshan Pass, it was a real positional battle, not a battle won by strategy or by tricks.

This has a considerable impact on the morale of the Japanese army.

Before this, the battle between the Kwantung Army and the East Column was basically blocked by the Japanese army. Even though the East Column announced some data to the outside world, they were questioned by the outside world because no one would believe it. They all believed that the East Column was deliberately exaggerating the record, and Japan tried hard to refuse to recognize these, so until the East Column occupied Liaoyang, it launched a series of battles that sneaked into Dongta Airport.

Only after Fengtian witnessed the fierce battle between the Dongzong and the consulates of the embassy and the consulates of the embassy and consulates in Fengtian really believed it. Perhaps the data released by the Dongzong before was not sensational, and it may even exaggerate itself!

Perhaps the Japanese army was a trick of the Eastern Zong in the battle of Fengcheng, but although the Japanese army suffered great losses, the system was still preserved.

During the battle of Lianshan Pass, the Japanese army's brigade was completely eliminated, and the brigade leader and more than 100 officers and soldiers were captured!

Before this, I had never heard of any officers above the Japanese army who had been captured by the Fourth Division Headquarters and Kanto Army Headquarters. They were shocked!

The Eastern Zong's repeated heavy damage to the Japanese army was a huge encouragement to the people across the country.

The upper class of many countries has also begun to pay attention to the new power of Dongzong, especially the news media. In Tonghua, foreign media, since the Chicago Sun reporter Helen reported a brand new "news spokesperson" system in Dongzong, more and more reporters here have taken risks here.

After they get first-hand news materials from the spokesperson of the Dongzong, they will immediately write a press release and send it back.

In addition, the Dongzong also specially set up an external news and telegraph bureau for these reporters, and the reporters' manuscripts can be sent back to their newspapers or countries as soon as possible.

The Japanese may not otherwise enter the East Column controlled area, which will prevent radio wave transmission.

The battle reports of the war between the Eastern Zong and the Japanese army can often be quickly transmitted to all parts of the world, even one step faster than the Japanese themselves.

Sometimes it is ridiculous. The reporter's telegrams intercepted by the Kwantung Army Command actually came faster than the battle reports of the troops under their own ‎It made the communications and intelligence departments of the Great Japanese Empire very embarrassed.

Of course, there was the idea of ​​the people below trying to cover the cover, but the lid was not covered, but the person stabbed it first.

Of course, these are all later!

The "press spokesperson" system is considered by these Western journalists to be a manifestation of "openness and confidence". They praised the Dongzong army of peasants, whose leaders actually had such wonderful creativity.

In fact, Lu Shan is doing this for a bridge of communication between inside and outside. After all, after World War II, it was an international world. Even if China wants to conquer the world, it is not advisable to rely on war, only culture. An open and inclusive culture tolerate everything!

This has been like this in China for 5,000 years. Many splendid civilizations in history have disappeared. Why is the Chinese nation unique?

This is what culture does!

War destroys **, but it cannot destroy the soul. Culture can change a person's soul, or even a nation's soul!

The same is true for Japan. You can’t kill all the 70 million Japanese people, that’s not realistic and impossible. But it can be said that this nation is eclectic. In a few hundred years, there will be no Japan. At most, China will have an extra ethnic minority and a tribe!

Through reporters, whether it is Western or Eastern, convey the Dongzong's own ideas. Don't let the only Japanese robber in the world be the only voice of the Japanese. Japanese have always liked to frame and demonize their opponents. With this window of external contact and understanding, it will be difficult for Japanese to do these things.

Xinjing, Yamato Hotel, is the location of the Kanto Army Headquarters. The new headquarters is under construction and can only be moved after it is completed. This place has become a temporary headquarters. If it were not for Xinjing, the Kanto Army Headquarters would not have moved here, and the conditions here are really a little different from Fengtian.

However, since this place is called Xinjing, it will become the future capital of the Great Japanese Empire. It will become the center of Asia. Therefore, the location here is very important in the future. The Kanto Army Command must be built here!

Of course, today's atmosphere is a bit depressing, or it can be said to be extremely dull. The staff members were all in a hurry, without saying a word, and had no smiles at all.

In the headquarters conference room, the highest level of combat meeting is being held!

The focus of the discussion is to fight Lianshan Pass!

"Lianshanguan Ogawa Nakasa's failure cannot be attributed to him alone. This time it was obviously an intelligence error. If it weren't for the information provided by the bees, how could we have ambushed the Chinese Army?" Colonel Oda, deputy chief of staff of the 14th Division, directly targeted the Kanto Army's intelligence department.

As we all know, in addition to being the head of the Fengtian secret service agency, Seishiro Itagaki also served as the chief of the intelligence officer of the Kwantung Army and the head of the second lesson.

This time the information was provided by Seishiro Itagaki.

The 14th Division lost an elite brigade. Although there were still left-behind troops on the ground, it was not considered annihilated. However, the combat effectiveness of the rebuilt troops would be greatly reduced. Moreover, the 14th Division had already suffered two defeats in Manchuria, one was worse than the other!

It can be imagined that the 14th Division will definitely become the laughing stock of the Army Department in the future! (To be continued...
