Ma Wanzhong's troops are finally on the right track, they no longer have to wander like before, everything needs to be snatched from the Japanese army! Now they have returned, with completed logistical supplies.

With sufficient supplies, the troops have a sustained combat capability! If the ammunition is exhausted in two days, it may not be possible to capture a single position of the Japanese army.

The same is true for the whole country, the national army must have sufficient ammunition reserves, in case the war starts, the military factories cannot produce enough ammunition to supply the troops.

A steady stream of military supplies was loaded from the railway station to the train, and then sent from inside the customs to outside the customs! Similarly, a large number of wounded people were transported from outside the border to hospitals in various parts of the country.

There are casualties every day, there are sacrifices every day! Before the smoke of gunpowder on the battlefield had dissipated, the shells like locusts fell again, until darkness came, and the smoke could not be seen.

In the dark night, both sides will not stop, and the artillery will occasionally fire a few times, just to prevent the little devil from sleeping too soundly!

Torturing each other day and night, the purpose is to consume each other's energy! The little devil is tortured and has a very short temper, just like a person who hasn't slept for three or four days, and you keep provoking him, he has long lost his mind.

Losing one's mind on the battlefield meant losing one's life, and powerful artillery fire was not just destroying the Japanese troops, but also killing their will to fight.

On the contrary, on Hu Guoshan's side, if there is no order to attack on the position, the soldiers can drink hot tea! Hot food gives people a great sense of security and is more popular with fighters than compressed biscuits.

Despite this, the war was relatively difficult, with thousands of trucks carrying ammunition coming and going to the front every day, and of course not only trucks were used to transport supplies, but also horse teams and wheelbarrows.

Hu Guoshan also knows that the materials consumed in this war are probably the total amount of materials consumed in the war in the past two years! Now that their previous battle has been completed, they must end the battle as soon as possible, otherwise these materials consumed every day can be piled up into a mountain.

The defense line that Ma Wanzhong was originally stationed in had been completely taken over by them, and while the remaining Japanese army did not retreat, Hu Guoshan ordered to eat them!

The troops who had just changed guards with Ma Wanzhong and them immediately launched a counterattack against the Japanese army under the cover of artillery and air force after simple preparations!

Although not all the Japanese troops who were going to invade were wiped out, it also seriously depleted the living forces of the Japanese army, and at least for a short time, the Japanese army would definitely not have any thoughts about them.

After defeating the Japanese army attacking them, all that remains is to rendezvous with Du Yuming's airborne troops as quickly as possible, and only after meeting with them, the Japanese army in the entire northeast region can be divided into two units by them, and there are troops that can support Du Yuming and them, and it can also ensure that the Japanese army cannot break through the defense line of the airborne troops, and can also prevent the Japanese army from retreating to the Bangzi Peninsula.

As for whether to march into the Bangzi Peninsula or not, it depends on Liao Fan's order, as long as the order is issued, Hu Guoshan will immediately order the troops to cross the river and gain a foothold on the other side of the river.

The main force of the Japanese army in Asia is in the northeast, as long as all the Japanese troops in the northeast are wiped out, the rest will not be a problem! Even if they don't want to intervene, they can also protect national security.

As the time dragged on for more and more, the more Du Yuming expected Hu Guoshan's troops! Du Yuming expects two things every day, one is the empty supply of the air force, and the second is the arrival of Hu Guoshan's troops.

They have been parachuted behind enemy lines for some time, and he has a lot of room to move behind enemy lines! But that doesn't mean they'll be able to hold out behind enemy lines!

The strength of four divisions of the Airborne Forces, three divisions are on the west bank of the river, and the strength of one division is on the east bank of the river! The troops on the east bank were not fiercely attacked by the Japanese army, and the bridges over the river were already controlled by the airborne troops!

The bridges were of strategic value, and the positions on both sides of the river were of no use to the Japanese army in the slightest! If the Japanese army wanted to recapture the bridge, it would have been almost impossible for the Japanese army on the Stick Peninsula alone.

After controlling the bridge, Du Yuming can use the bridge on the river to support both sides of the river, which means that he can send the three divisions west of the river to the east of the river at any time! As long as the speed of the Japanese attack is contained, the Japanese army will be exposed to the open field, and when the time comes, as long as the air force is called in for support and bombing the Japanese army, the Japanese army will have to retreat.

The most important thing is that the Japanese troops on the Bangzi Peninsula did not receive a telegram of support from the commander-in-chief of the Japanese forces in the Northeast, and the Japanese troops on the Bangzi Peninsula even thought that the situation in the Northeast was stable and that the war would not even spread to the Bangzi Peninsula! Some Japanese officers were still in the mood to go on vacation with prostitutes on the beach at this time.

Du Yuming was not worried that his four divisions would not be able to defend both sides of the river, and once there was an omen that could not be supported, Du Yuming would immediately order all the troops to withdraw to the west bank, and then blow up the bridges on the river.

When there was no fighting, all Du Yuming could do was to use the limited resources at their disposal to continuously strengthen their fortifications.

The Japanese troops on the Bangzi Peninsula did not have any sense of crisis, in fact, the main reason was that the Japanese troops in Northeast China believed that they could hold Northeast China.

As long as they hold on to Northeast China, it is very likely that their emperor will move from the mainland to settle in the puppet state of Manchukuo, and at that time, they will inevitably be rewarded for their meritorious deeds, and the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army in Northeast China may become Japan's Minister of War.

I am afraid that the dream of the Minister of War can only be thought about by the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army during the day, after all, it is easy to dream of a hundred days.

"Where is Commander-in-Chief Hu's troops now?"

The speed of Hu Guoshan's troops was Du Yuming's primary concern, and even if the road between them had not yet been opened, they could seek artillery support.

As long as their defensive position reaches the range of Hu Guoshan's artillery, with the support of heavy artillery, their defensive pressure will be much smaller, and the Japanese army will also have to worry about the risk of being attacked from both sides, so artillery is a deterrent to the little devils, and the soldiers of the airborne troops are in danger.

"Commander Hu's chief of staff briefed us this morning that the two attacking armies have arrived near Tonghua, and they will prepare to attack Tonghua and recover Tonghua City in the next two days!"

Tonghua City is a traffic artery, and the Japanese army is well defended and heavily guarded! At present, Tonghua is an important transportation hub for the Japanese army to connect South Manchuria and North Manchuria.

Once Tonghua is recovered, there will be no large-scale Japanese troops blocking between the airborne troops and the large forces, and the Japanese army will also be cut off from South Manchuria and North Manchuria.

"Tonghua, this city is not easy to fight! Which unit was responsible for attacking Tonghua? ”

"It seems that it was originally a unit under Commander Ma, and now it is commanded by Commander Cun, but it is unknown which army is the main force to attack the city!"

"Cunqi?"

"What about the Japanese troops defending the city?"

"The Japanese army defending the city is a division of the original Japanese Kwantung Army, and the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army also arranged two brigades to deploy on both flanks of Tonghua, and the Japanese army has a lot of troops!"

"The current A division of the Japanese army is not as good as the B division where the war started, but their firepower is still very strong, if the two brigades around Tonghua can't be eliminated, it would be nonsense to take Tonghua City!"

Du Yuming analyzed the strength of both the enemy and us, and the siege battle was to destroy the Japanese army's positions outside the city first, and then to be able to attack the city with peace of mind.

"Commander, how long do you think it will take for Commander Cun's troops to regain Tonghua?"

"It's hard to say, it's okay to be half a month faster, if it's slow, it may not be taken down for two months!"

Tonghua is very important to the Chinese army, and it is equally important to the little devils! Once the siege battle begins, the Japanese army will inevitably send additional reinforcements, and at that time, Cunqi's troops will face not only the strength of one division and two brigades of the Japanese army, but also the number of Japanese troops will increase exponentially.

"Send a telegram to Commander Huang and tell them that we still need a lot of supplies, and we will prepare at least a month's worth of supplies, and if possible, the more the merrier!"

Du Yuming had to plan for the worst, if the first siege failed, it would inevitably have an impact on the besieging troops, which meant that the long-awaited troops might arrive very late.

Prepare for the worst, prepare for the best! Once the siege on Cunqi's side fails, the Japanese army will definitely reinforce it! Without a large army, it was impossible for Du Yuming to let his soldiers go hungry to fight.

And once the siege begins, their air force may also join the fight, and if they don't stock up on supplies, the air force may not be able to airdrop them supplies.

"Commander, won't our reinforcements come?"

"They will definitely come, but I'm afraid they will come late, and Tonghua City can't be recovered, so we may always be trapped behind enemy lines!"

The First Battle of Tonghua was bound to be a tragic battle, Cun Qi understood, Du Yuming understood, and the Japanese army also understood! Tonghua City is a matter of life and death for two large armies.

Tonghuatong, the airborne troops lived, and the Japanese army died!

After an autumn rain, the temperature in the northeast plummeted by nearly ten degrees! The plummeting temperatures are not a good thing for logistics, which means that the pressure on them to prepare their millions of troops for the winter is starting to increase.

The plan to attack Tonghua was also put on the agenda after this long autumn rain! This battle was the most difficult battle that their troops could fight in the east, and all the troops were ready to fight, did a good job of mobilizing before the battle, and vowed not to return to the army if they did not give up.

"We must take Tonghua before the winter in the northeast, otherwise the temperature in the northeast alone will make many of our soldiers sick and cause non-combat attrition!" Cun Qi held a meeting with the army commanders and told them about the current grim situation.
