Chapter 1174: A Great Situation
During this time, Hu Guoshan could basically sentence the Japanese army to death! But in order to reduce the casualties on their side, there must be a lot of work to be done, and the little devil is a dog, and he will jump off the wall in a hurry!
Hu Guoshan did not want to exchange the result of victory for his own side, which suffered heavy casualties.
The purpose of the battle suspension of the offensive in Tonghua was to cooperate with Commander-in-Chief Zhu and their actions, and Hu Guoshan also asked Liu Chundao to suspend the siege of the Zhaoyuan area!
After Zhaoyuan was surrounded, the Japanese army had no troops to support, and even the supplies could not be transported to the Zhaoyuan area, so the Japanese army could only sit and eat empty!
More than 100,000 Japanese troops were trapped in Zhaoyuan, and the supplies consumed in one day were a mountain, not to mention other weapons and ammunition!
Moreover, in addition to the Japanese troops in the Zhaoyuan area, there are also many family members, women and children of little devils! These women and children alone add up to tens of thousands of people, and Hu Guoshan is certainly not the executioner, and even women and children are killed.
"Spring knife, the Zhaoyuan area has surrounded me, and a little devil can't be released! Let me tell you, there are engineers and scientists in this Zhaoyuan, and many of them will be sent to Brother Fan! ”
Liao Fan told them before the war, don't just know how to kill, keep those scientists and engineers for their use! If you want to be strong, you have to learn what the enemy can't, and then you have to develop what the enemy can't, so that the enemy can be afraid.
"I said Lao Hu, you are the same as Brother Fan now, I Liu Chundao and I don't forget it, just rest assured, this little devil is enough for us to stuff the teeth of a group army, as for the old and weak women and children of the little devil, as long as they don't commit suicide, I will definitely ensure their safety!"
Liu Chundao is also wealthy now, unlike during the Taihang Mountain period, he was the weakest in the entire army! Now one of Liu Chundao's group armies has expanded the strength of nearly three more armies, and his speech has become much tougher.
"Okay, I know that you Liu Chundao has made a lot of money recently, and those foreign countries are good at moving the West and the like, send me Lao Hu back, I don't know if I don't know it, but now I know the difficulties of Brother Fan when I become a family, and you will let you pick up the benefits, and I, the commander-in-chief, will be left to drink the northwest wind!"
"If you can drink the northwest wind, God will be moved to cry when he knows! Your old Hu personally called me this time, didn't you just emphasize these things to me, right? ”
"Hmmm! According to intelligence, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army is missing, and the chief of the Japanese general staff plans to flee to the fortifications in the north! ”
"What! The little devil wants to run? ”
Liu Chundao felt that this battle was getting more and more interesting, but he didn't expect that the little devil was already starting to escape!
"Yes, but the news of the disappearance of the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army still cannot be confirmed, and our intelligence does not have enough evidence! So we have been keeping this matter a secret, and as for the plan of the chief of the Japanese general staff to escape, there are indeed enough sources of intelligence! ”
"Do you want me to do a big deal?" Liu Chundao asked.
"Nope! I know that you have some infiltrated troops in the rear, inform them, spare the fleeing troops of the Chief of the General Staff of the Japanese Army! ”
"Lao Hu, is your brain burned out? Such a big fish, you're going to let me let him go? ”
Liu Chundao was excited when he heard it, but he didn't expect that Hu Guoshan wanted him to let go of the chief of the Japanese army's general staff, which made him a little puzzled!
"Our people have been planted in the ranks of the Japanese army who escaped, and it is a matter of the next plan! So the Chief of the General Staff of the Japanese Army must live, he is more valuable to us alive than dead! ”
Now that the Japanese army has lost its commander-in-chief, all deployments will be under the command of the chief of the general staff! Although the Japanese army will not be leaderless, but now the Japanese army is already in the waning mountains, and there is not much threat to Hu Guoshan!
Since there was not much threat, Hu Guoshan simply used him to exert the last remaining value and took all the people they arranged to the underground fortifications.
"I know, after the battle in Zhaoyuan is over, I will let the troops attack and advance towards Hacheng, and when the battle is over, I will invite you Lao Hu to drink!"
Although two people are in the same place, and they are not very far apart, the number of times two people meet is very rare! The work was too busy, both of them were no longer ordinary soldiers, and the soldiers were able to take leave, and these commanders never had a vacation after they arrived in the northeast.
It is not easy to get from Taihang Mountain to today! They have been through countless battles, and the battle is finally over!
Two days later, in the early morning, Tonghua's troops launched an attack on the Japanese army, which was a great battle of annihilation! There is no need to ink with the little devils, and the position does not need to be constantly changed in the hands of both the enemy and us.
In the * era, no matter how many troops you have, once you don't have logistics, it is unthinkable to hold out for months in a desperate situation.
At the beginning, the Japanese army, which was as fierce as a tiger, after Ma Wanzhong and them raided the Huinan area, the Japanese army had no source of materials! Hundreds of thousands of troops became lone soldiers and became Hu Guoshan's meal.
The Japanese army, which had no food, ammunition and no reinforcements, soon began to be in disarray under the onslaught of Chinese soldiers, and rumors of the disappearance of the Japanese commander-in-chief began to spread among the army. Originally, many of the soldiers of the little devils were those who were very young and did not have a strict military education at all.
And these young soldiers lacked the decisiveness and bravery of the veterans, and were indecisive in the face of problems, and the slightest hesitation on this battlefield would have cost the enemy's life.
On the contrary, the Chinese army has been holding its breath for the past few days, especially after two days of rest, the soldiers have been rested from physical fitness to mental outlook, and the soldiers on the front line have eaten hot meals and occasionally improved their food.
On the contrary, the Japanese army was on guard all day, and both mental and physical strength had reached the peak of physical bearing! In addition, there are all kinds of rumors circulating in the troops, and the battle is not easy to fight in the first place, but now just dealing with those rumors has distracted many commanders.
The Japanese army is already tired of coping with this war, an army has no goal, no unified dispatch, and even the soldiers are beginning to be confused about what needs to be done!
The seemingly solid position, under the onslaught of artillery and armored forces, is like a river of spring water, and will never return!
The Japanese troops on the periphery of Tonghua threw away their armor, fled, and died! Nearly 300,000 Japanese troops, hundreds of thousands of dead and wounded, hundreds of thousands captured, and tens of thousands of escaped!
However, the fleeing Japanese army was also in panic, the Huinan area had been controlled by Ma Wanzhong, and it was impossible for the Japanese army to return from Huinan, so they could only keep fleeing north!
Of course, Hu Guoshan sent troops to pursue all the way, and captured many Japanese prisoners of war! A great harvest!
"Lao Zhao, let the Fourteenth Army hurry up and get in touch with Commander Du! First restore logistics supplies to Du Yuming's airborne troops! ”
There are still Japanese strongholds on the road from Tonghua to Du Yuming's headquarters, but these strongholds are no longer to worry about, arranging the strength of an army is enough to clean up, it is really not possible, now Hu Guoshan has in his hands to attack Tonghua's surplus new force, one army is not enough, he is not afraid of fighting another battle like Tonghua.
Hu Guoshan hopes to be able to fight another battle like Tonghua, but how many more battles can the little devil fight? Without the unified dispatch of the commander-in-chief, as many Japanese troops came to Hu Guoshan to send prisoners.
"This battle has finally come to an end, I thought we wouldn't be able to fight before the first heavy snowfall, but now that our troops have been connected, do you want the troops to carry out the next plan?" Zhao Caizhu asked Hu Guoshan's opinion.
"Let all the troops stand by in place, manage their own defense area, strictly prohibit anything that is a traitor, and guard against the fact that little devils will pass through the defense area!"
After a heavy snowfall, it is very bad for the attacking troops! Now that he is finally able to get in touch with Du Yuming's troops, he can at least deliver the materials for the winter to the airborne troops, and there is no problem in surviving the cold winter.
This winter, the Japanese army everywhere will inevitably hoard materials frantically and snatch materials from the hands of the common people, and it is at this time that the Japanese army is the easiest to neglect to take precautions!
"Then shall we deal with the Japanese army in the south or the Japanese army in the north first?"
"The main force of the Japanese army is in the south, and with the living forces in our hands now, we cannot divide and encircle the Japanese army in the north! You can only recover the South Manchurian region first, and the Japanese troops distributed in the South Manchurian region only need to be distributed in the Lushun, Fushun and Mukden areas! Cut off the connection between the three of them first, and the rest are cats and dogs! ”
The Japanese army had less than 1 million troops in South Manchuria, but there were nearly 200,000 troops around Mukden, 200,000 troops in Fushun, more than 300,000 troops in Lushun, and the remaining nearly 300,000 troops were scattered in other parts of South Manchuria!
In order to restore the sovereignty of South Manchuria, it is necessary to control these three places, even if the Japanese troops in other directions are not eliminated, as long as there is a move, troops can be quickly dispatched from these three places to destroy the Japanese army.
If the Japanese army fled to the countryside in order to survive, it would inevitably require a lot of energy to encircle and suppress them! The dispatch of troops must be fast, otherwise the little devils will fight guerrilla attacks with them, and the Japanese army will be able to hold them back a lot.
Therefore, controlling the transportation of important cities is the focus of this battle, and the railway network around Mukden is relatively perfect, and with the railway, it can transport troops and a large amount of war materials.
"Go down to Fushun first and threaten Fengtian!"
The Japanese army is already in chaos inside, and only the Japanese army in these three areas still has some ability to resist! Moreover, the troops under Li Weimin, who were deployed in the vicinity of Shanhaiguan, were also ready to attack.
As long as Hu Guoshan gives an order, the Japanese army in the entire South Manchurian region will be attacked on its back! And with the support point of Tonghua, the troops can support Fushun's operation at any time!
Looking at the big picture, there is nothing better than fighting a war in the current situation!
However, Hu Guoshan did not plan to put the main time of the attack in winter! But he didn't plan to let the troops be idle, anyway, no matter how uncomfortable the little devil was, Hu Guoshan planned how to come.
