Umezu Mijiro became frantic and frightened, and the small details revealed made him feel a chill in his neck, as if a hardened dagger was hiding around, ready to ask for his orders.

The entire intelligence system was mobilized, and the front-line troops were also carefully guarded under the orders of Umezu Mijiro.

Just as Umezu Mijiro was fidgeting in the headquarters, the chief of staff of the devil ran in with a frightened face, and the two telegrams in his hand were grabbed tightly by him.

"Commander, something happened, Liaoyang, the garrison troops in the lighthouse area reported that they were suddenly attacked by the troops of the Eighth Route Army and asked for reinforcements."

"Nani?"

Umezu Mijiro seemed to have a spring on the soles of his feet, and as soon as the chief of staff of the devil finished speaking, he reached out and grabbed the telegram in a few steps and browsed it.

The trembling of his whole body indicated that Umezu Mijiro was very uneasy, and after reading the telegram, he quickly came to the sand table without saying a word, and compared the combat route marked on the telegram, after a little thought, he understood what the purpose of the Eighth Route Army was.

Fengtian, the real purpose of the Eighth Route Army is Fengtian, hidden in the mobilization, and deployed in alternate operations, and now the real purpose of raiding Liaoyang and other areas is actually for Mukden, only Fengtian has such a great value for them to see, worthy of their careful deployment.

Taking a deep breath, Umezu Mijiro wanted to calm himself down a bit, he turned back to the chief of staff and said, "Now immediately convey a few orders." ”

"First, order Liaoyang, the garrison troops in the lighthouse area to stand firm and wait for reinforcements."

"Second, order Tomokazu Sugita in Mukden City to be careful and vigilant, and be sure to ensure that order is not chaotic."

"Third, order the front-line combat troops to take a step back again, and the target is to be placed in Liaoyang and other areas first, and the troops of the Eighth Route Army must be separated from Liaoyang to ensure that the safety of Fengtian is not threatened too much."

"Three orders to be conveyed immediately, act quickly, quickly."

"Yes, Commander."

Watching the chief of staff leave, Umezu Mijiro took a few steps away and sat on the chair, the sweat behind his back was already soaking through his clothes, if he hadn't persevered with a strong psychology, I'm afraid he would have been paralyzed to the ground.

Umezu Mijiro's order was quickly conveyed, and on the other side, Commander Liu was also deploying, and now was a critical moment, and whoever had the problem first would inevitably lead to the defeat of the operation.

"Commander, the front-line troops report that the devil troops who are fighting are showing signs of retreating, this is the telegram from the front line that I counted, and all departments are in a similar situation."

A staff officer opened his mouth and handed the document to Commander Liu, who narrowed his eyes after reading it and said: "It seems that our operation scared Umezu Mijiro, and he actually made the front-line troops prepare to retreat." ”

"Immediately order all units that the opposing enemy must not let them leave their respective defense areas, even if the whole army is annihilated, they must hold on."

"Yes, Commander."

After Commander Liu finished speaking, he looked at the sand table, the attack and defense were switched, the casualties increased inevitably, and in order to recapture Mukden, the next step was to order the troops to fight to the death.

"Commander, the current situation is open, Umezu Mijiro wants to change the situation, he must find a way from other directions, should we pay more attention?"

Commander Liu nodded when he heard this, and continued to discuss with the people in the headquarters, while on the other side, Li Ping continued to advance with his troops, and so far, he has not been exposed.

"Captain, Commander Zhou telegraphed, asking if our department still needs help to cover?"

Li Ping suddenly stopped when he heard this, and he laughed after reading the telegram, judging from this telegram, Commander Zhou was probably close to the last battle to solve the devils over there, otherwise he would not have asked himself so.

After thinking for a while, Li Ping raised his head and said: "Call back, our department no longer needs cover, please ask Commander Zhou to fight independently, and follow the marching route of our department after completing the operation, that is the best cover." ”

After Li Ping finished speaking, he asked the telegraph operator to send a telegram, and the chief of staff laughed at this time and said, "Captain, do you want to make a time difference?" ”

Li Ping nodded, and said with a smile: "Lao Zhou, they are our best cover, Chief of Staff, order the troops to continue to operate, if we complete the raid before Umezu Mijiro finds out." ”

In the headquarters, Commander Zhou looked at Li Ping's telegram, and he smiled: "That kid is simply instinctive to play this kind of deceptive tactics, and he can't accept it!" ”

"Hahahaha"

The people in the command headquarters laughed, and the chief of staff said: "This is the ability, commander, we can't fall behind, otherwise we can only watch Li Ping get rich, and Sugita Tomokazu is still in Fengtian!" ”

Commander Zhou was murderous when he heard this, and immediately spoke: "Order the troops to attack, and the sooner you can deal with the enemy, the better." ”

"Oh, by the way, that airstrip doesn't want to see the plane land or take off, if anyone lets the devil escape, Lao Tzu has to beat him to death."

"Yes, Commander."

Commander Zhou's side is still the attacking side, because he has already achieved a decisive advantage, and in other local battlefields, the battle is about to turn into a blocking operation, just to prevent the devil troops from retreating.

In the headquarters, Umezu Mijiro felt that his head was about to explode, the retreat of the front-line troops was not smooth, and he did not dare to mobilize the troops in the surrounding area of Mukden, and originally wanted to transfer troops from other directions to reinforce, even if he gave up the defense area.

But those Eighth Route Army troops didn't give him this opportunity! The guerrillas sprang up in various places, the main forces were fighting, the railroad tracks were blown up section by section, and the troops who had been transferred from there could not move an inch.

With such a battle, coupled with the distance between the other two provinces, Umezu Mijiro had no hope that they would be able to come over smoothly.

If there are no reinforcements, how can you solve the battle in Liaoyang and the lighthouse area? Umezu Mijiro found that he seemed to have fallen into a big net, and this big net had trapped him, and before he found a breakthrough, he was afraid that the result would be very bad.

Thinking of this, Umezu Mijiro's eyes flashed with cruelty, and he said: "Chief of Staff, isn't there a quick way for the front-line troops to retreat?" ”

The solemn tone was coupled with a very calm rhetorical question, but the chief of staff of the devil heard more from it, and he reacted and said in a lost voice: "Commander, is this okay?" ”

"Okay? If it doesn't work, you have to do it, Chief of Staff, Fengtian can't be lost! We are all slowly falling into the disadvantage now, and if the arsenal here in Mukden falls into the hands of the Eighth Route Army again, I seem to see the end of the Kwantung Army. ”

Umezu Mijiro's words made the face of the chief of staff of the devil change greatly, and he shuddered at the thought of this result.

After a few minutes of silence, he raised his head and said solemnly: "Commander, I know how to do it!" ”
