As the iron-blooded lion army continued to approach Shenyang, the Japanese puppet army garrison in the nearby peripheral counties was becoming less and less.

Even if there are garrisons defending the city, most of them are puppet Manchukuo troops, and the combat effectiveness of these troops is very weak, and the Predators have just begun to charge and warm up, and the county town is already fluttering with white flags, and there is no challenge at all.

The puppet Manchukuo army faced the powerful iron-blooded lion army, and it was indeed powerless to fight.

"Recently, the county town we attacked has encountered a lot less resistance from the defenders, and the Japanese army must be preparing for a big battle!" Li Yunlong couldn't help but analyze according to the recent battle situation.

Sure enough, after a while, Li Yunlong received reconnaissance information that the Japanese army had assembled 200,000 Kwantung Army and 50,000 puppet Manchukuo Army, equipped with tanks, artillery, airplanes, and other advanced equipment, and seemed to be fighting to the death.

"Report to the commander, according to the information obtained from the reconnaissance ahead, the Japanese army has built a defensive line 10 kilometers away, with a strength of about 200,000 Kwantung Army and 50,000 puppet Manchukuo troops, and at the same time equipped with tanks, artillery, aircraft, etc., blocking our way to attack Shenyang!" Reconnaissance captain Zhao Minghui reports!

Immediately, Zhao Ming began to depict the location of the Japanese defense line on the map.

The 250,000 Japanese puppet army has built a defensive line about two kilometers long, which is the rhythm of positional warfare prepared for a hard-to-head confrontation with the iron-blooded lion army.

The topographical outline of Liaoning is roughly "six mountains, one water and three fields". The mountains and hills are divided into east and west, descending to the central plains, and sloping towards the Bohai Sea in a horseshoe shape. The mountain ranges include Changbai Mountain, Old Balding Mountain, Flower Neck Mountain, Fengcheng Phoenix Mountain and so on.

It can be said that most of Liaoning Province is a plain area!

Li Yunlong, Zhou Weiguo, Zhang Dabiao, Lei Zifeng, He Jun, Li Xiangyang and others gathered in front of the map, analyzing the nearby terrain!

Zhou Weiguo said: "The Japanese army chose to open up a position on this Liaohe Plain and build a position, which seems to be to use the position to fight with us in a head-to-head battle!" ”

The Liaohe Plain area is located between the hills of Liaodong and the hills of Liaoxi, the south of Tieling-Zhangwu, until Liaodong Bay, it is a plain area formed by long-term subsidence, the terrain is low and flat, the altitude is below 50 meters, there are Liaohe River, Taizi River, Hunhe River, Daling River, Xiaoling River, Shahe River, etc., the middle and lower reaches of each river are smaller than the drop, the water flow is slow, there are many river meanders and sandbanks, the harbor is vertical and horizontal, the accumulation is vigorous, and floods often occur.

However, it is a dry and frozen period, so there are no floods.

Li Yunlong looked at the terrain of the Liaohe Plain, and said with a slight frown: "In positional warfare, our iron-blooded lion army is not cowardly. ”

The so-called positional warfare is a form of warfare in which the army relies on its position to defend itself or to attack the enemy who is holding the position.

"Since the little devil has built a position in the Liaohe Plain, it seems that he is fully prepared, and all kinds of guarantees are very tight, which is very unfavorable for our attack!" Li Yunlong said slowly.

With the positional battle of these 250,000 troops, it is a huge obstacle for the Iron Lion Army, but the Iron Lion Army will not be intimidated and retreated.

Although the Iron Lion Army can bypass the Japanese positional defense, this is not the style of the Iron Lion Army.

When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!

If the iron-blooded lion army bypasses and avoids the 250,000-day puppet army this time, this time, the positional battle can be avoided, but the 250,000-day puppet army is still there, and they will also meet on the battlefield, and it will also cause turmoil in the army's heart.

"Now, let's study the positional warfare strategy against this Liaohe Plain position!"

"Positional offensive operations first use firepower to destroy the opponent's defensive position, kill and injure a large number of its living forces, and then use the firepower effect to meet the enemy's impact."

In World War I, positional warfare became the main form of warfare.

"In positional warfare, as the attacker, we need to use howitzers, mountain artillery, and even high-powered artillery such as aircraft to prepare for firepower, support infantry and assault teams to break through defensive positions, and then gradually develop an offensive in depth."

Li Yunlong constantly analyzed the key to positional warfare and tried to find a way to break through the position of the Liaohe defense line of the Japanese puppet army.

"This time, if we want to break through the positions of the Japanese army, we must first concentrate superior forces and weapons, form a powerful assault group, choose the main assault direction, and carry out continuous multiple waves of assault with the support of powerful aircraft and artillery firepower. To put it bluntly, it is to concentrate on hitting a point! ”

Zhou Weiguo, Zhang Dabiao, Lei Zifeng and others all nodded one after another, recording Li Yunlong's analysis.

The essence of the offensive in positional warfare is to concentrate firepower, break through the defensive line of the position, and then tear the position apart.

After the analysis of Li Yunlong, Zhou Weiguo, Zhang Dabiao and others, the method of attacking the Japanese army's position on the Liaohe Plain was preliminarily determined.

“．． Shangguan, immediately order the dark web to collect the layout of the Japanese position's defensive line! ”

"At the same time, send a telegram to Luo Fei, the commander of the Iron-Blooded Air Force who is far away in Beiping, and let the Iron-Blooded Air Force prepare for battle!"

Because the Liaohe Plain is relatively far away from the coastline, the iron-blooded navy does not play much role in this position.

Shangguan Yufei replied suddenly: "Yes! ”

"Tang Lin, the tank armored forces are ready, in this positional battle, you will be the main assault force!"

"Yes!" Tang Lin Dao.

"Zhang Dabiao, (Zhao Haozhao) Zhou Weiguo, ordered the entire army of the iron-blooded army to move forward 5 kilometers! Prepare for the next positional battle! ”

"Yes!" Zhang Dabiao and Zhou Weiguo both responded violently.

Since the Kwantung Army has assembled 250,000 Japanese puppet troops in the Liaohe Plain, which also includes the Kwantung Army with the main force of 200,000, it means that once the Liaohe positional battle is over, Shenyang will lose its protective barrier, and it will be easy to take Shenyang.

If the iron-blooded lion army wants to take Shenyang, this positional battle has to be fought, and it must be won.

Positional warfare, this is a hard-fought battle of hard power, there is not too much strategy, what is fought is strength.
