South-Eastern Military District.

Lin Hu, Yan Lei, Liu Hei, the three of them looked at the sand table and frowned. Japan, which was originally three clusters on the sand table, is gradually becoming two.

"Lao Liu, do you see anything? What is the little devil going to do, he actually reduced his troops in front of the 360 position and increased his troops in two high places. Did they give up the scramble for the 360 heights? Or did you give up coveting Tonghua County? Lin Hu said in a deep voice.

Liu Hei nodded and said, "This is also possible." The little devil must have known that our reinforcements had arrived. Knowing that the onslaught on the 360 heights may not be possible at this time, it is better to have a decisive battle with us in this place. As long as we are defeated, the entire hinterland of the three eastern provinces will be completely opened up. This is much better than fighting for the topography of a place. ”

"Makes sense. However, it cannot be ruled out that the little devils are suspicious, wanting to reduce our defense against the 360 Heights, and then take the opportunity to sneak attack the 360 Heights. Yan Lei added.

"Yes! In any case, 360 Heights cannot relax its forces. I suggest that the 2nd Brigade continue to defend the 360 Heights, and then transfer a regiment from the 3rd Division to strengthen the strength of the 360 Heights, so that the other troops can be put into the remaining two battlefields. Lin Hu said.

"I'm okay with that. The little devil wants to fight us quickly, why don't we want to do this. Grandma's. The little devil lost a division and finally put away his arrogance! However, they may not be able to take advantage of it. Liu Hei smiled and said.

Yan Lei also nodded.

"Lao Liu, the No. 2 Heights in the North will be handed over to you. The commissar and I were in charge of the war on Heights No. 1. This is the beginning of our expulsion of the Japanese invaders and the beginning of the establishment of immortal deeds. Lin Hu said with a smile.

"We are soldiers, and defeating the invaders is the best military feat! Hehe, and I also want to capture more Japanese prisoners now, but there is a lack of cheap labor in our infrastructure in the Northeast. A bloodthirsty look flashed across Liu Hei's face. This guy is addicted to transporting prisoners to headquarters. Because of his continuous sorties, there are now many Russian prisoners of war in the northeast. In order to reduce unnecessary trouble, all these prisoners of war were sent to the popular Mongolian steppes to build roads.

With the order of the headquarters of the military district, the military supplies of the Northeast Army began to be massed in two directions. The decisive battle posture posed by the Northeast Army was naturally heard by the scouts of Little Japan for the first time.

Command of the Korean Army of Japan. Lieutenant General Toshiyin Matsukawa, commander of the Korean Army, as a famous general of the Japanese army, is still very methodical. In the entire headquarters, on the huge military map, the military strength of China and Japan is still very obvious.

"How is the reconnaissance situation of the Air Force units? The great cunning of the Shina people. Now they are putting on a decisive posture, what do they want to do! Lieutenant General Toshiyin Matsukawa, commander-in-chief of the North Korean Army, said.

"There is no useful information from the air force, and the Northeast Army is on guard against our planes. Every time our planes appeared, the enemy would disappear without a trace in camouflage, and our planes did not dare to fly too low, which made it impossible for us to grasp the enemy's movements. Major General Ono Hoshiro, Chief of Staff of the DPRK Army, said.

"Does Lieutenant General Iguchi have any reports on the hostile situation?" At the mention of Iguchi Shugo, Lieutenant General Toshiyin Matsukawa was furious. The Third Division is Japan's permanent division, and it is not only strong in combat but also has a high status in the army. As a veteran of the Korean army, Lieutenant General Iguchi Shengwu can be said to have made great achievements, who would have thought that at the moment when he was about to be transferred back to the military headquarters as a senior general, such a big mistake would occur. A reorganized brigade was completely annihilated by the enemy. And it was completely annihilated by the Chinese army in no apparent way. Moreover, the commander of the 6th Brigade, Major General Kanaya Vomzo, became a prisoner of the enemy. The capture of Major General Kanaya was completely unexpected by Lieutenant General Matsukawa. The capture of the brigade flag of the 6th Brigade by the Northeast Army was a great loss. You know, in the Japanese military, the military flag is unique. Once captured by the enemy, the formation of this unit is no longer there. There is no longer any possibility of rebuilding. Of course, the 3rd Division can still be replenished completely. However, the name of the 6th Brigade could no longer be in the battle sequence of the Japanese army. For such a large loss, the military department will definitely pursue it. If it weren't for the seniority of Lieutenant General Iguchi Province, I am afraid that he would have been ordered to cut his stomach to thank the emperor for his grace. Even so, the military department did not hesitate to cancel his order to be promoted to general, and even the country is still studying transferring him back to China as an officer in the reserves. The purpose is to let him retire completely.

"Not yet, the people of China have not relaxed their defense of the 360 heights. The enemy's second brigade was still stationed there all the time! Major General Ono Fengsi said in a deep voice.

Lieutenant General Matsukawa Toshiyin's face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "It's this second brigade again." It was this brigade that took the lead in launching a counterattack, inflicting heavy losses on the Imperial Japanese Army. Chief of Staff, will you be able to take out this force before the decisive battle begins? Lieutenant General Toshiyin Matsukawa said in a deep voice. If the culprit could not be eliminated, the shame of the Imperial Japanese Army would not be washed away. Because of the total annihilation of the Sixth Brigade, the military department also had a very good opinion of him. The former governor of North Korea and the current Japanese Prime Minister Terauchi Masatsuki sent a harshly worded reprimand. The Korean army must launch a powerful offensive to restore the influence of the Great Japanese Empire. In this case, Lieutenant General Matsukawa naturally hated the Second Brigade to the core.

"Your Excellency Commander, I'm afraid we won't be able to do anything against this unit of China for the time being, and the 360 Heights where the troops of the Second Brigade of the China Army are stationed are strangling the throat of the Northeast Official Road. Not far behind the 360 Heights is Tonghua County, a major military supply area in China. In this case, the 360 heights of the Chinese army were naturally very well guarded. The high-level of China will not let the 360 Heights fall into our hands. Attacking there now may lead to an early decisive battle. Major General Ono Fengsi said with an ugly face.

"Report to Your Excellency Commander, an urgent telegram has come from the Wing Commander of the Logistics Wing. Our logistics unit was attacked by the Chinese army, and the two sides were engaged in fierce fighting. The enemy was under heavy fire, as well as heavy weapons. A scout ran in in a panic.

"Nani! Eight grid tooth road! Lieutenant General Matsukawa was furious.

"Quickly dispatch the cavalry unit to meet the quartermaster wing!" After all, Matsukawa Toshiyin was a famous Japanese general who grew up in the flames of war, and quickly recovered from his violent emotions. Then quickly issue the right commands.

Half an hour later.

"Report to Your Excellency the Commander. Just received a telegram from the cavalry wing. The Chinese army has fled. Our quartermaster wing is still resisting, but most of the supplies transported have been destroyed by the artillery fire of the Chinese army! The Scout said with his head down.

"Yaga! Damn the Shina people, the cunning Shina people! Lieutenant General Matsukawa's face turned red. The Northeast Army is trying to cut off their grain routes, and this method cannot be described as ruthless. The bottom of the kettle is drawn!

"From the 20th Division, the 21st Division, the 22nd Division, one wing was drawn each, and then a mortar brigade and a mountain artillery squadron were transferred from the headquarters of the group army to form an independent mixed brigade. We must maintain the logistical support and supply of our army! At the same time, we will wipe out the Chinese army in the area we occupy. "The high-intensity firepower contest between the two sides has put too much pressure on logistics. Behind the Northeast Army is the rich homeland, and it is much easier than Japan to raise or deliver materials. Japan's entry into the mountainous areas of Northeast China was blocked by the Northeast Army, and military supplies could only be obtained from Korea. Barren Korea could not afford to supply the Great Japanese army with the supplies it needed to fight. For this reason, little Japan could only draw military supplies from within the country. This makes Japan's logistics even more difficult.

"Your Excellency, your Excellency, what we feared most has happened! The people of China really began to pay attention to our logistics! Major General Ono Fengsi said in a deep voice.

"Yes! Judging from the current situation, I am afraid that the people of China will not have any good intentions when they let us enter the Northeast! They definitely have the strength to fight us on the border. When we are introduced into the Northeast, their advantages will be even more obvious. Our logistical support line has been lengthened, and the situation is even more dangerous. Judging from the current situation, a quick solution is the best way for us! Lieutenant General Matsukawa said with a sigh. Now he had some bad premonitions in his heart. From the total annihilation of the Sixth Brigade, he felt in crisis. This unit in the Northeast is too weird. It appeared in a short period of time, rose in a short time, and there were so many advanced weapons and powerful combat effectiveness in a short period of time. Could it be that there are really immortals in this world, otherwise how could such an incredible thing happen in the world?

"Send a telegram to all divisions, brigades, and regiments to prepare them for the final decisive battle. We cannot afford to lose this battle, and once we fail, the prestige created by the martyrs of the Imperial Japanese Army with their blood will be ruined. Lieutenant General Toshiyin Matsukawa said.

"Hai, Your Excellency the Commander!" With the order of Lieutenant General Toshiyin Matsukawa, the Japanese army also moved in full swing to prepare for the final decisive battle. The entire mountainous area of Changbai Mountain is shrouded in the tranquility before a storm.

Mukden City. Liaodong Theater Station.

The huge military map shows the situation of both the enemy and the enemy. At the same time, there are operational staff officers who deduce on the sand table the form that the army will face in the future under the current situation.

"Commander-in-chief, in such a situation, the Southeast Military Region, which has a hard time with small Japan, may face a difficult hard bone!" Wang Jigang said.

Jiang Baili nodded, the war situation in the Southeast Military Region is developing very fast.

"Shouldn't we adjust our forces appropriately? After all, it is not good for us to fight hard, our Northeast is still inferior to Japan in absolute strength, if the Southeast Military Region is exhausted. How do we resist Japan's next attack? Wang Jigang said.

"No need! For the time being, there is no need to adjust the deployment of the Southeast Military Region. The situation of the decisive battle between the two sides has been formed, and whoever retreats will face the fate of defeat! Now I have to fight hard, no matter what. Jiang Baili said in a deep voice.
