As soon as the anti-Japanese tide was over, Naosaburo Okabe was in a hurry...... To be precise, the Japanese army in the entire puppet state of Manchukuo was in constant trouble. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The idea of the Japanese army was to draw troops and supplies from the towns and villages to assemble in the cities and then launch an attack on the expeditionary force, but there were all kinds of riots and uprisings in the towns, and these uprisings were not even led by puppet armies...... In the past, they were forced to bow their heads due to the obscenity of the Japanese army, but now they saw that the major cities of the puppet Manchukuo had fallen into the hands of the Chinese Expeditionary Force in just a few days, and seeing that the Japanese were anxious to move to the city, they thought that the Japanese had already gone and bet on the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and for a while the uprisings broke out one after another, and there was a situation of "the countryside surrounding the city".

This directly enabled the people and the rebels to have equipment and a certain military quality, so many villages and towns, not to mention ammunition supplies, even the Japanese army could not get out. Even if the Japanese troops in a few villages and towns were lucky enough to escape from the encirclement and suppression of the rebels to the designated position, they would still be disgraced and embarrassed.

If this was in peacetime, then the Japanese army would not have to think about it at all...... Wherever there is a "rebellion", it will be suppressed, and even a slaughter village or something will be brought to the scene and the monkey will soon be suppressed.

But this is no longer the case.

If we were to suppress these "rebellions" now, it would inevitably take more time, troops, and ammunition...... If the "rebellion" is suppressed, it will not be possible to attack the Chinese Expeditionary Force.

So after much hesitation, Naosaburo Okabe decided to launch an attack on the Chinese Expeditionary Force desperately.

Naosaburo Okabe's decision was certainly the right one...... Today's Japanese army can only defeat the Chinese Expeditionary Force, because this is actually another kind of "killing chickens and setting an example"...... If the Chinese expeditionary force is defeated, the people and puppet armies everywhere will find out that this puppet Manchukuo is still under the control of the Japanese, and if you want to "rebel", you have to think about it to see if you have that strength.

But Okabe Naosaburo was also taking a risk by doing so, in case the Chinese expeditionary force could not be defeated, then the Japanese army in the puppet state of Manchukuo would really be gone.

On the side of the expeditionary force, from time to time, a group of civilians with shotguns and pikes will come to defect, of course, sometimes there will be puppet troops with regular equipment, and a considerable number of them will even carry Japanese prisoners and even bloody heads.

For this part of the people, Zhang Chi, of course, did not refuse to come, and immediately asked his fellow villagers to organize them to maintain law and order in the city, or to serve as the militia to support the logistics and construction of fortifications...... Although these people are enthusiastic, their military quality is too poor, and it is really difficult for them to coordinate with high-quality expeditionary forces when they go to the battlefield, so it is obviously a better choice to assign them to the second and third lines.

At this time, Zhang Chi's attention was actually completely out of here...... After all, the anti-Japanese actions of the people in various towns and villages could not be controlled or organized by the expeditionary force, and there were too many people and too many villages and towns involved.

Zhang Chi honestly didn't have the energy to take care of this, because the headquarters was already busy, and there was information from various troops everywhere:

"Division, the 320th Division of the Japanese Army is advancing in the direction of Yingkou!"

"The periphery of the 53rd Army is on fire with the enemy!"

"Siping has discovered the enemy!"

……

Because the expeditionary force has air supremacy, it can basically grasp the enemy's situation in advance no matter which direction, which allows Zhang Chi to deal with it in an orderly manner.

Watching Staff Officer Liang draw the enemy's location on the map based on the intelligence one by one, Zhang Chi nodded.

This Okabe Naosaburo is still a little level, and he knows how to launch a sectional attack on the Chinese army's defense line, but Zhang Chi has long been prepared for this, and Okabe Naosaburo's plan is only afraid that it will fail......

Zhang Chi's coping strategy is actually very simple, that is, to resolve it step by step.

It is a well-known fact that the important thing in a battle is the coordination of various troops, not to mention other complex coordination, but whether the battle starts at the same time or not may have a decisive impact on the situation of the war.

For example, if the Japanese troops in these directions attack Yingkou, Shenyang, Siping, or even Harbin and Qiqihar at the same time, the pressure on the expeditionary force will be extraordinary...... As the battle started at the same time, it would be difficult for the expeditionary force to support every place with its limited air power or supplies, so it is likely that some places would be vulnerable or even breached by the enemy because they could not get enough reinforcements and supplies.

And these places are all important places for the defense line of the expeditionary force, and as long as one place is lost, it may lose everything.

Such a result was unacceptable for the expeditionary force.

In order to avoid this situation, Zhang Chi artificially adjusted the marching speed of these divisions of the Japanese army...... In other words, it was to control the timing of the Japanese attack so that it could not attack at the same time.

It may seem impossible, but it's not that hard to do.

It is mainly the Chinese Expeditionary Force that holds air supremacy...... Therefore, the intensity of the air strike can be artificially adjusted to change the speed of the enemy's march.

The 320th Division had arrived from North Korea, and it had traveled a long way and had serious logistical supply problems...... The guerrilla warfare on Park Jung-hyung's side has been launched, and North Korea is full of jungles and snow, and it takes only minutes to create an avalanche or a road collapse or something, while it will take hours or even days for the Japanese army to clear it.

As a result, the 320th Division did not even have enough gasoline for cars, which can be seen from the fact that the 320th Division had to abandon a large number of cars on the march and switch to walking.

So needless to say, the 320th Division is weak and slow, so let it be a little slower...... Moreover, Yingkou, to be attacked by 320, is only more than 200 kilometers away from Port Arthur, and a large number of fighters and bombers can be used on the two aircraft carriers of the Chinese Navy.

In fact, the two aircraft carriers sailed some distance to the northeast, and then the fighters began to bomb directly from the area of the Yalu River bridge.

Needless to say, the suffering of the 320th Division...... They rushed to Manchukuo from a place of more than ten degrees below zero, and before they even had time to catch their breath, they were violently bombed by the fighters and bombers of the Chinese army.

The Japanese on the battlefields of China and Korea had never worried about air supremacy, so they didn't know what to do, and they were bombed for two days before they thought that they could travel day and night, but by this time the troops had been bombed to the ground.
