The Japanese reconstructed the defensive front on the positions ceded by the Northeast Army, and the puppet army composed of Koreans took the lead in charging the positions of the Northeast Army.

It's a pity that the North Korean puppet army can barely do some local garrisons, and fighting against the Northeast Army is not a dish at all. Every time the Korean puppet army did not rush to the position, it was crushed by the powerful fire of the Northeast Army.

Japanese Front Command.

"Your Excellency, Commander. Our army has all crossed the Yalu River, and the army has formed a confrontation with the Northeast Army. Ministries requested an attack. Major General Utsunomiya Taro, Chief of Staff of the North Korean Army, said.

"Order the troops to attack as planned." Lieutenant General Yoshiko Akiyama, commander of the DPRK Army, said in a deep voice. The goal of the Korean army's launch this time was very clear, that is, the entire three eastern provinces, only Liaoning Province, which was acquiesced by the British, could not satisfy the appetite of little Japan at all.

"Hay!"

With the order of the command of the North Korean army, the incompetent North Korean puppet army was withdrawn. In just a few hours, the Korean puppet army of nearly 50,000 people lost more than half of the losses, but did not achieve the slightest result. What made the Japanese army even more intolerable was that the Korean puppet army launched several attacks without hitting the position of the Chinese army. Except for the consumption of some weapons and ammunition of the Northeast Army, the others are simply waste.

Front-line command of the Northeast Army.

"Report to the commander, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Chiang sent an urgent telegram. Ask our department to implement the 'morning glory tactic'. "The intelligence officer sent the telegram from Fengtian City to the hands of Lin Hu, commander of the Southeast Military Region.

"Got it, order the brigades to move according to the original plan." The strategy of morning glory is a plan formulated by the General Staff of the Northeast Army, in order to give full play to the local advantages of the Northeast Army and use the form of mobile warfare to rub off the sharp spirit of the North Korean Army. Then drag it down and eat it with the last bite.

"Political commissar, have all the people in the Changbai Mountain area been evacuated?" Lin Hu asked in a deep voice.

"All have been evacuated. The entire Changbai Mountains and the border with North Korea have become a no-man's land. Political commissar Yan Lei said. Since the war is in the northeast, the people of the northeast naturally have to take the lead in evacuating. Fortunately, the terrain in the border area is mainly mountainous, and the number of ordinary people is not large. Coupled with the fact that the Northeast Army had been prepared for a long time, the retreat of the common people did not cause much commotion.

"The deep mountains and old forests of Changbai Mountain can slow down the advance of the Japanese army. But to be clear, little Japan knows no less about the terrain of the Changbai Mountains than we do, and we don't have many advantages. I hope that the generals of all ministries can figure it out and not be careless about the enemy. Lin Hu said in a deep voice. Not to mention the infiltration of small Japan into the three eastern provinces, it is only the information obtained during the Russo-Japanese War. It was of great help to the war in Little Japan. After all, the changes in the Northeast are limited, and the mountains and forests in the Northeast have hardly changed. Little Japan won great honors in this land back then, so naturally there are more detailed information.

This has been emphasized by the Department of Political Affairs. The political commissars of the brigades and regiments have also attracted great attention! I'm sure you'll be careful in this regard. Yan Lei said in a deep voice.

"Report to the commander, commissar, that the Japanese army launched a large-scale offensive, and the forward positions were fiercely attacked by the Japanese. Ministries request coordination of commands. "The strategy of morning glory is to mobilize the entire Southeast Military Region, which will test Lin Hu's command ability.

"Got it!" Lin Hu took a deep breath.

Yingkou Port, Liaoning Province.

The busiest port in the Northeast is completely closed. At eight o'clock in the morning, a large fleet appeared off the coast of Yingkou Port. The plaster flag on it flaunts its might. Farther away in the open sea, there were many American merchant ships, all of which came to the Northeast to do business, but unfortunately, the Japanese army aimed at Yingkou Port, and all these unsightly American merchant ships were naturally stopped in the open sea. Little Japan wants to go to war with Tohoku, but it doesn't want to offend the powerful United States.

On the Japanese flagship "Kongo" battlecruiser. Admiral Shigetaro Yoshimatsu, commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet, drank the wine with a relaxed expression. It is also understandable that the role that the navy can play in this war is really limited. The navy in the Northeast is weak and in a mess, and even if the Combined Fleet does not resist the Northeast Navy, it will be difficult to do anything. In this war, the navy was used more as a convoy.

"Admiral Anton Sadami, this war depends on the performance of your army. If you need help, we in the Navy are here to help. General Shigetaro Yoshimatsu said with a smile.

"General Shigetaro Yoshimatsu. Great Japan is not only strong in the navy, but also in the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Army. The Navy can rest assured that they can drink tea on the side! "The reason for the discord between the Japanese navy and the army is, of course, Japan's lack of resources. A large part of the Japanese government's finances has been reserved for the navy, which has been building up at an extremely rapid pace in recent years, with modern warships being launched one after another, and the size of the combined fleet becoming larger and larger. As a result, the army's resources were heavily occupied, and it was not until the start of the war that the Japanese army could complete the renewal of military equipment. This made the army extremely dissatisfied with the navy. The Navy and Army are constantly fighting for limited military spending. This is also a major feature of the Japanese military in this era.

Admiral Shigetaro Yoshimatsu didn't care about the meaning of Admiral Anto's words, and still drank a glass of Chinese sake leisurely.

"Admiral Anton Sadami, do you want our navy to flatten the entrance of the camp and then cover your landing? It is unknown whether the current state of the army can still launch an attack! A playful smile appeared on the corner of Yoshimatsu Shigetaro's mouth. The land forces transported by the Japanese Combined Fleet this time were the 1st and 10th Divisions stationed in the country for a long time. These soldiers, who claimed to be the elite of the imperial army, did not perform well at sea. Although it cannot be said that I can't bear it because of seasickness, my body is still greatly affected.

"Then I'm sorry for you!" Admiral Sadami Anton did not refuse this time. The army is strong on the road, but if the Northeast Army is prepared, it is dangerous to land and operate alone. For the life and death of his subordinates, Admiral Anton Sadami could only bow to the navy temporarily.

Boom!

With a loud bang, the buildings around Yingkou Port were bombarded by the navy, but the strange thing is that the coastal defense fortress guns built in Yingkou Port did not react in the slightest, as if they were completely dumb.

A burst of artillery fire from the Combined Fleet turned Yingkou Harbor into a sea of fire. The Yingkou Port, which has been developed in the past year, is built with wooden structures. Moreover, it is a very oily pine in the northeast, and once the fire is ignited, it is difficult to extinguish.

"General Anton Sadami, it seems that the Northeast Army has fled! In this way, the army can easily go ashore! The admiral said boredly. Originally, he thought that the Northeast Army would use security artillery to counterattack. In this way, their navy will have the opportunity to participate in the war, and they will also have the qualifications to earn military merits.

"Got it!" Admiral Anton Sadami said in a deep voice. Being in the same boat as an old rival also made him uncomfortable.

Headquarters of the Southern Military District.

"Report to the commander, the Japanese Combined Fleet launched an attack on Yingkou, and the Japanese army went ashore from Yingkou!"

"Can you determine the number of people?" Zhen Zhen said in a deep voice.

"I'm not sure, but there are a lot of people, I'm afraid it's around forty or fifty thousand!" The herald said.

"Forty or fifty thousand? That's about two divisions. Grandma's, the little devil really wants to be caught on both sides! Zhen Zhen said in a deep voice.

"Commander, are we following the orders of the theater command to block the enemy layer by layer and buy time for the war on the banks of the Yalu River?" Deputy Political Commissar Qian Zhuangfei asked.

"It's not my character to defend alone. Didn't the little devil land at Yingkou! Okay, let's give them Yingkou and order the troops on the front line of Lushun to give Lao Tzu an attack on Lushun. Zhen Zhen said.

"Commander, shall we ask the headquarters for instructions? Our task is to deal with this group of enemies who have landed, and we must not let them enter the areas where the common people live. The young marshal has an order, even if our Southern Military Region is dead, we can't let a little Japan go. Qian Zhuangfei said.

"I know that. However, war is not a blind defense, and offense is the best defense. Little Japan set up a Golden State in Lushun. The Lushun Dispatch Army has long been eyeing the territory of the Army, but because the Lushun garrison is not strong at present, and now the Lushun garrison only has a wing that is not satisfied with the formation, and it cannot fight independently, so it is the time for us to attack. Otherwise, when the size of the Lushun garrison expands, it will be their turn to fight! Zhen Zhen said. He didn't know what little Japan thought. There is no need to put Lushun as a good attack point, so he chose to run all the way to Yingkou. The Japanese units in Lushun were also not strengthened as much as the Qingdao garrison. It seems that Little Japan did not mean to let the Lushun troops take action in this operation.

"We only have the elite of the regiment on the Lushun front, and the rest are second-line troops, can we pose a threat to Little Japan?" Qian Zhuangfei asked worriedly.

"The little devil is not as powerful as we think. Have you read the telegram of the Southeastern Military District? Two wings attacked the position of one of our regiments, and with the assistance of heavy artillery, we couldn't take it after three or four attacks. If you want me to say, if little Japan hadn't had too strong a navy, Lao Tzu wouldn't have let him go ashore at all. "After serving as a military supervisor for a long time, Zhen Zhen's original political commissar has a much weaker temperament, and the sharp spirit of a soldier is much stronger.

Report. Front-line emergency electricity. The enemy soldiers are divided into two routes, one to the west and the other to the north! Heading north, we rushed towards our position. "The front line sent an urgent telegram to Zhen Zhen's hands.

"Got it! I'm still worried that the little devils won't be separated. Only 50,000 or 60,000 people still dare to divide the army, I don't know if it's arrogance or looking for death! Send a telegram to the commander of the theater of operations, and our department is ready to assemble the main force and take the lead in annihilating the Japanese army all the way. Zhen Zhen said in a deep voice. Such a great opportunity, he will regret it.

"Commander, even if the enemy divides his troops, the size of the force is tens of thousands. Moreover, we are still unable to figure out the establishment of the Japanese army, and we cannot judge its combat effectiveness. Changing plans hastily is easy to make mistakes! Qian Zhuangfei said.

"There's nothing to worry about, it's the elite third division of the Japanese permanent division that is attacking on the Yalu River, and if other elite divisions are also in combat power, little Japan has nothing to fear." Zhen Zhen said without any care. The war on the banks of the Yalu River gave the top generals of the Northeast Army a lot of confidence. The army of little Japan was deified. It's nowhere near as powerful as it seems.

After the Russo-Japanese War, the army system of small Japan did not improve much. The rigidity of the military system was also a common problem, and the Japanese army was not fully prepared for this war. Japan was the first independent and powerful country in East Asia, and the Imperial Japanese Army, which had defeated the Russians, was infinitely deified.
