No matter what the situation of Du Yuming's subordinates is or will be in the future, Tonghua is a huge rock in front of Hu Guoshan and them, and if they do not get rid of the stumbling block, there will be no hope of restoring the sovereignty of the northeast region.

At the time when the Tonghua battle was intractable, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army was busy with other things in addition to ordering the troops to continue to reinforce Tonghua.

In addition to a group of loyal cronies, the commander of the Japanese army also had a strong army, which were all veterans who had fought on the Chinese battlefield for more than two years, and these veterans were carefully selected by him for emergencies, of course, this need for emergencies was not for his troops, but for his own needs.

And the selection of 30,000 or 50,000 troops out of a few million troops is not a remarkable thing at all! But now it might save his life, and in the eyes of the Japanese commander, the lives of all the people in the world combined are not as valuable as his own. Perhaps all people on high have such a thought.

His plan was going well, and everyone's eyes were drawn to the direction of Tonghua, and his real target was Du Yuming's department on both sides of the river.

The commander of the little devils did not intend to eat the entire airborne troops, even if they had the ability to eat the entire airborne troops, this battle would take ten days and half a month, not to mention whether their plan was a stupid or wise choice, but the longer the time was delayed, the easier it was for their plan to be seen through by the Chinese army.

The most important thing is to guard against their own people to see through their plans, once the million army knows that their commander is planning to escape, it will inevitably be that the million army will no longer want to fight, and at that time he will have nowhere to run if he wants to.

After the airborne troops were airborne, the Japanese commanders had already tested their combat effectiveness, and it was obvious that after several years of war training, the soldiers of the Chinese army had become more and more experienced in combat, while on the other hand, the soldiers who were replenished by their troops were all old, weak, sick and disabled!

Even if you rely on the elite in the hands of the Japanese commander to fight to the death with the airborne troops, it will be the result of five or five points at most, but don't forget, now the airborne troops are attacking on defense and waiting for support, and his troops are not as good as the airborne troops in the state of attack, and the firepower is inferior to the airborne troops, so if this battle is fought to the death, the final result is that the probability of the little devil losing is relatively large.

Therefore, the commander of the Japanese army did not have the idea of fighting Du Yuming to the death, he just wanted to run, and he had to run without a trace, so that no one could find out.

With the situation in the Chinese battlefield and the Pacific theater in recent years, the Japanese army has overdrawn its national strength, and the small soldiers can have illusions about being able to conquer the whole world, return to their hometown, and be the emperor's warriors! But the commander of the Japanese army, not to say that one person is above ten thousand people, but it is about the same, the higher he stands, the clearer he can see.

The defeat of this war is decided, and as for the emperor warriors they shout, bushido Yunyun, in the eyes of the soldiers, it can lift the spirit, but in the eyes of these high-ranking generals, these are just tools to use the soldiers to fight desperately.

He didn't want to work hard for the emperor, he had already seen the emperor, and the emperor was just a little man, not a god as everyone said! He was in awe rather than respect for the emperor, and it was okay that the war went well, and everyone was fighting for rights at most, but once the war was lost, their lives could not be saved, so what rights did they talk about.

And now he still has a group of elites loyal to him in his hands, as long as he takes them away from China, no matter where he goes, he can live a good life with these elites, even if he returns to his homeland, he can still threaten some people with the elites in his hands.

For the sake of his own vital interests, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army decided to live, and to live well, as long as he lived, he had a chance.

But he had to consider a huge difficulty in front of him, how to escape from the encirclement set up by the Chinese army, get out alive, and the rest could be considered to be enough hope to be realized.

So when the Chinese army and the little devils were in full swing in Tonghua, the Japanese commander decided to take advantage of the fact that the Chinese army's attention was not on them, and to have a golden cicada shell.

Of course, this golden cicada has to hide not only from the Chinese army, but also from his own people! If the three million army knew that their commander had fled, the consequences would be unimaginable.

So he had to direct and act in a play by himself, so that the troops on the front line knew that he was in the command center, and the people in the command knew that he was on the front line, as long as the two did not communicate, no one knew where he had gone.

"The development of the war in the past few days has become more and more unfavorable for us, especially since we continue to send troops to reinforce Tonghua, so I decided to go to the front line to see how our troops are doing, and the affairs in the command are left to you to decide!"

The commander-in-chief of the Japanese army handed over his command to the chief of staff, and even the chief of staff wanted him to stay, and he went to the front to check the situation of the troops in place of the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army.

Before leaving, he also deliberately explained that the support for Tonghua could not be interrupted, and it was necessary to ensure that the Tonghua troops were sufficient, even if the troops were transferred back from the front line, they would support Tonghua.

Tonghua is no longer a small campaign mode, either success or failure, once retreated, all the efforts were in vain, of course, the little devil does not care about the life and death of the soldiers, but it can definitely be used as a trick.

The commander-in-chief of the Japanese army is already inhumane, invading other countries does not care about the life or death of the local people, and he does not care about the life or death of his own soldiers when the army is defeated!

After confirming that the matter was clearly explained, the Japanese commander left with his cronies and more than 20,000 elite soldiers loyal to him, and no one in the remaining personnel in the headquarters knew his specific whereabouts.

Hu Guoshan was struggling with the battle of Tonghua at this time, although the outer positions of Tonghua had been captured by their troops and new fortifications had been established, but the continuous reinforcement of the Japanese troops from the surrounding area forced their limited forces to concentrate outside the city, so that the troops attacking the city were reduced.

The most important thing is that after these ten days of fighting, Hu Guoshan began to realize that the forces in his hands began to be insufficient.

First of all, he must maintain the offensive posture of the entire front line, otherwise once they show signs of retreat, the Japanese army will inevitably draw more troops to support Tonghua, and when the time comes, Tonghua City will not be captured, and the battles on other sides will also be delayed.

Secondly, after capturing the city, the troops also have to help the local people rebuild their homes!

Now Hu Guoshan has concentrated the strength of seven armies around Tonghua City, if the battle continues like this, I am afraid that he will have to be like the commander of the little devil, constantly drawing troops from other directions to support Tonghua!

Tonghua has become the key to the entire Northeast war situation, and for Hu Guoshan, it is impossible to give up halfway! Giving up Tonghua not only means sacrificing so many soldiers in vain and turning Tonghua into powder, but also putting the entire airborne troops in a desperate situation!

The Airborne Forces are Liao Fan's heart and soul, if the Airborne Forces are in trouble, I'm afraid Liao Fan will not be able to spare Hu Guoshan! Reasonable and reasonable, Hu Guoshan will not give up tens of thousands of brothers behind enemy lines.

"Why don't you let Brother Fan transfer troops from other military regions?" Zhao Caizhu suggested.

"How many troops? What is the current limit of the Japanese army's troop transfer? Now we don't know, how many troops are appropriate? We also don't know that if the matter of troop transfer goes on and over again, not to mention that people in other military regions doubt our combat capability, it will not be conducive to the stability of the army in the future! ”

The reason why Liao Fan has the ability to sit firmly in the position of the country's number one is not only because of the support of Chairman Meow and Chairman Jiang, but because there are strong troops supporting Liao Fan!

And all the troops of the Northeast Military Region are Liao Fan's biggest support, and it is precisely because of them that Liao Fan can sit firmly in this position.

Although Hu Guoshan is a pure soldier and does not want to get involved in politics, it does not mean that he does not understand politics! He is now sitting in this seat, and he must think about Liao Fan.

As long as Liao Fan signs this order, it is tantamount to telling the people of the whole country that the war in the northeast is not going well, the people's hearts are complicated, and with a little gossip, national turmoil is inevitable, and people are terrible!

"So what do I do? If we wait for the battle to lose, we will tell Brother Fan about it, and the consequences will be even more unimaginable! ”

If the Northeast Military Region loses the operation, it means that the war will drag on for a year, and even Liao Fan will have to transfer troops from other military regions to strengthen the combat effectiveness of all troops in the Northeast at that time.

According to Zhao Caizhu's thoughts, it is better to tell Liao Fan about the matter now, at least they can plan in advance, and if something bad really happens, they can still plan early.

"We haven't reached the end of the mountain yet, Lao Ma's troops are still training, and we can't take care of so much when necessary!"

Ma Wanzhong's troops have been in reserve since they left the front line! Moreover, the new replenishment of troops and the replacement of new equipment have also improved the combat effectiveness a lot!

However, this is also the only unit in Hu Guoshan's hands that can move freely, and if other situations arise on the battlefield, he will not have any troops to deal with.

"I'm going to call Commander Ma right now and get his troops ready to go to battle at any time!" Zhao Caizhu said.

"Wait, let Lao Ma set aside an army of troops, we can't do without a force that can be mobilized at any time, even if it's a division!"

Hu Guoshan didn't expect that the little devil would fight him to the top of the army! After their troops came out of Taihang Mountain, they had been greatly improved, and they were already superior to the little devils in terms of weapons and firepower and the quality of their soldiers, but there was no way, the Japanese army still had too much advantage.
