As the war continued, the Japanese commanders gradually realized the true purpose of the Chinese army! At the beginning of the period, the Japanese commander believed that even if the Chinese army had a million troops, it would be almost impossible to eat them.

Even if they can surround them, the Chinese army does not have the appetite to digest the three million army, as long as their three million army fights to the death, even if the Chinese army defeats them in the end, they can completely replace all the Chinese army at the cost of two million people.

However, the initial battle data allowed the Japanese commander to see the situation clearly, the Chinese army had barely lost many troops, while their troops were crippled in formations, and as the battle continued, it was likely that he would have a large number of troops but no troops available.

The combat effectiveness of the temporarily patched troops has already surpassed theirs head-on in this battle, and it is simply vulnerable, and if he uses those disabled troops to cobble together a unit, not to mention that the morale problem is difficult to solve, even the command of the troops is also very chaotic.

So the commander of the Japanese army had a face-to-face conversation with his cronies behind closed doors, in which he the Japanese emperor, the spirit of bushido, and the glory of the Imperial Japanese Army.

Their meetings revolved around one topic, and that was to live or die!

"You are all my cronies, follow me all the way, I haven't treated you badly, and now I have made the situation clear to you, if we continue like this, there will be only a dead end! But we still have a choice......

Of course, the Japanese army did not just have a road to choose, but the Japanese commander chose to live, and he had to live his comfortable life, and there was only one way to go, to break through with the troops, go to the Bangzi Peninsula, and then choose the opportunity to cross the sea and return to the mainland.

However, it was very difficult to operate, and the airborne troops had already taken control of the bridge over the river, and unless they eliminated all the Chinese soldiers, their large force would be able to cross the river safely.

But there is still one way to go, and that is to abandon the large army, and then find a small boat, and quietly cross the river in the dark to ensure that the gods do not know the ghosts!

These two road choices, the former road is well operated, they can break through the encirclement of the Chinese army, but if the operation is not good, the three million army will be left on the side of the river, never to go back, and the troops will have no ability to resist, only surrender is the only way to go.

If they choose to escape across the river with a small number of people, even if they can escape back to their homeland, I am afraid that no one will spare them, and they will only have a dead end.

Therefore, the commander of the Japanese army was secretly discussing with his cronies how to choose, so that they could not only survive, but also not be punished after returning to their homeland!

Defeat was inevitable, although many Japanese officers did not believe that they would lose, and even dreamed of a major counteroffensive after the battle.

After all, high-level people are high-level people, and the level that can be seen by the eyes is not at all what can be seen by the eyes of small soldiers, and the same high-level people have begun to abandon those pawns when they see some bad situations.

After repeated consultations, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army finally made a decision and would implement this plan as well.

"What we are discussing today is top secret, only those of us know about it, and you must promise not to tell anyone!"

Quite simply, it was a plan for their lives, and they couldn't even tell their loved ones.

It has to be said that in the rout of all armies, the performance of most officers seems to be the same, no matter whether they were invincible in the past or are now beaten, as long as they encounter a major rout, most of the officers will defend their own interests under the slogan of the collective.

The little devils are still losing their lives one by one in lies, but they don't know that their commander has made the final decision.

The commander of the Japanese army gave a morale-boosting speech to his officers, that is, the emperor Yunyun, the bushido Yunyun, and the end result was just desperate.

This is also the last time many little devil officers see their commander, and they will never see each other again in this life.

"Your Excellency Commander, the Chinese army has launched an attack on Tonghua, and the commander of the Sato Division guarding Tonghua has called to ask for support!"

"Let the 34th Division go to support Tonghua!" The commander of the Japanese army did not think about it and gave the order directly.

It seems that the commander of the Japanese army has suddenly become more generous, in fact, he no longer cares about the life and death of these troops, if he can use these troops to cover up his true purpose, why not be more generous, anyway, many will die sooner or later, and now death can still make some contribution to him.

The Great Battle of Tonghua was also very important, and the Japanese commander knew that if he could send a force to delay the Chinese army's attack, it would be enough time for the Japanese commander to escape.

And if he doesn't keep Tonghua as much as possible, after the Chinese army captures Tonghua, it will join up with the airborne troops, and then there will be more Chinese troops assembled on the riverbank, which will also increase the difficulty of his plan.

Therefore, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army decided that as long as there was no major rout on the front, he would support Tonghua as much as possible!

Of course, Cunqi did not know that the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army had suddenly changed his mind, so that Cunqi and they met the most difficult opponent they had encountered since the war in the northeast.

According to their deployment, it took three days to clean up the Japanese positions around Tonghua, and then waited for Japanese reinforcements in the process, only besieging the city but not attacking it.

In the early stage, their plan was implemented very smoothly, and they even used the strength of two armies to ambush a division of the Japanese army to support Tonghua! The battle lasted for a day and a night, and the Japanese army, with the cooperation of the follow-up troops, broke through the encirclement and retreated.

However, more than half of the Japanese division supporting Tonghua was damaged by the fierce attack of the Chinese army, and even if it escaped, it may no longer be able to support Tonghua.

The news of the defeat of the support units did not give the Japanese commander any angry expression, and even he did not complain about the troops, as usual. Instead, it lightly arranged for the strength of another division to support Tonghua.

This division was ambushed once by the two armies of Cunqi in the same place, and learned the lesson of the last time, and the two army commanders ordered that a little devil must not be allowed to escape.

From the very beginning, the Chinese troops in ambush poured all their firepower into attacking the Japanese army's vital forces, and shells rained down on the Japanese positions, and the Japanese army was completely powerless.

After the artillery fire ended, the infantry began a non-stop charge, and the strength of a Japanese division was scattered by the two armies of the Chinese army, and they could not care for each other.

The Japanese army also did not expect that the Chinese army would ambush them twice in a row in the same place, and they were all within their defense zone, which made the little devil a little doubtful of life, so he could only raise his hand and surrender.

From the place where the war began, they captured only a thousand Japanese soldiers, but in this battle, they captured more than 2,000 Japanese soldiers, and when the army commander reported to Cunqi, Cunqi couldn't even believe it.

Liao Fan once repeatedly emphasized to them that after capturing the Japanese army this time, try not to kill them as much as possible, just keep them! However, he won many battles in the northeast and destroyed countless Japanese troops, but the captured Japanese troops were very few.

"All the captives are brought back and sent to the rear!"

"We have already ambushed the Japanese army here twice, should we let these two armies withdraw first!" The chief of staff suggested that the inch was strange.

Ambushed the Japanese army twice in one place, the first time the Japanese army was negligent, the second time the Japanese army was careless, and the third time the Japanese army would be fooled? Obviously, the vigilance of the Japanese army will not become so bad.

"Leave the scouts to do reconnaissance, and the rest of the troops will be withdrawn and deployed in the area of the right flank of Tonghua! Rest for two days, and then lay another ambush at the junction of our defense zone and the Japanese defense zone! Cunqi said.

"The Japanese army has already been beaten by us twice, will we send reinforcements?"

In four days, the Japanese army was ambushed twice by the Chinese army in the same place, one division was disabled, and the other division was completely annihilated. Even a layman can see that the target of Cunqi's department is not Tonghua, but the troops supported by the Japanese army.

"It's not good to say, just in case, Tonghua is very important to us, and it is also very important to the little devils!"

The commander-in-chief of the Japanese army was not very surprised that the two divisions were ambushed, his current energy was focused on their new plan, and the casualties in other areas were just losses in his eyes, and he didn't care at all about the loss of hundreds of thousands of people.

Since one division and one division cannot be defeated, then send two divisions and let the Chinese army kill at will to see how much ammunition the Chinese army can consume.

Of course, the Japanese army will not make the same mistakes as the first two times, and it is really a fool to be ambushed twice wisely, and still rush forward like a stunned youth.

The Japanese troops of the two divisions remained in a fighting state along the way forward, and they were able to quickly plunge into the battle whenever something happened.

The two units that ambushed the Japanese army suffered a big loss in the first confrontation, and a regiment defending the flank was stolen by a brigade of the Japanese army, and originally wanted to ambush the little devils, but almost let the little devils ambush them, if it weren't for the cover of the artillery group, these two armies might be difficult to escape from the little devils.

"The Japanese army is prepared, it seems that the ambush will not be able to be defeated!"

It was already impossible to ambush, all they could do was to block the attack of the two divisions of the Japanese army.

"Why did the little devil suddenly become so costless? Send the strength of two divisions to support Tonghua? ”

Cun Qi was a little puzzled, the Japanese army defending Tonghua was less than two divisions, but the Japanese army supporting Tonghua had reached the strength of four divisions before and after, which was too contrary to common sense.
