……………………………… Changchun, the Young Marshal's Mansion.

"Great!" Feng Yong was very excited. The two brigades attacked the Japanese 10th Division at night, and although they suffered heavy losses, they also inflicted heavy losses on the 10th Division. Make it incapable of attacking again. This is tantamount to cutting off the enemy's army all the way. At the same time, this victory will also have a huge impact on Japan, after all, this battle is a real hard fight. There is not much difference in strength between the two sides. Even the 10th Division of the Japanese Army was in a superior position. Of course, the night attack was not a head-on confrontation, but the prestige of Tohoku could not be compared to that of Japan. The 10th Division was within range of the Combined Fleet, and it was not practical to use any means for the two armies to resist head-on. After all, the power of ship-borne heavy artillery is simply terrifying.

"Young marshal! There's nothing to be afraid of little devils! The permanent division is not yet letting us lie down. Li Yang said according to Feng Yong's meaning.

Feng Yong nodded and said, "Staff Officer Li, you immediately draw up a commendation order." The 18th Brigade and the 24th Brigade collectively recorded first-class meritorious service. Soldiers who died in battle are posthumously honored as martyrs, and their families receive the highest level of bereavement. Each of the living fighters is credited with second-class merit. Combat heroes are credited with first-class merit. Also, when the war is over, Young Marshal Ben will personally award them with honors. ”

"Yes!" Li Yang replied loudly. Then hurried to draw up the order.

"What a victory! The 18th and 24th Brigades did a good job. Now the little devil should be in a hurry! Feng Yong said to himself. Through careful analysis, Feng Yong also knew that he had a high opinion of the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army, after all, the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Japanese Army at this time could not be compared with that of World War II. First of all, the hardware facilities, the Japanese army is relatively short of heavy weapons. After all, Japan's economy has only just recovered, and in order to maintain its status as a world power, Japan, as an island nation, has tilted most of its resources towards the navy. The development of the army has been much slower. At the same time, Japan's on-call air force support during World War II had not yet appeared. There is no advantage in firepower. Japan's slight advantage in training was also offset by the Northeast Army's stronger automatic firepower, which gave the Northeast Army the strength to go head-to-head with Japan. The night attack of the 18th Brigade just proved that the development idea of the Northeast Army was correct.

"Let Minister of Information Zhao Yu come to see me." Feng Yong said in a deep voice.

Half an hour later, Zhao Yu, the minister of information who was like a mountain of meat, "squirmed" to Feng Yong's study, although the weather in the northeast was still very cold, but Zhao Yu was still sweating profusely and looked very hard. In this era, fat people are rare in China, after all, the Chinese people are generally poor, and there is no junk food and high-calorie food that can be seen everywhere in later generations. Of course, there are exceptions at any time, and Zhao Yu is considered a superb. In his words, drinking water grows meat. Although he is not good-looking, his fat body makes him look like a ball. But his eloquence was very good. He is also a top student who has studied in the United States. After obtaining a master's degree from the United States, he received an invitation from the Northeast government, and then he resolutely gave up the opportunity to study for a doctorate in favor of foreign conditions and his supervisor, returned to the Northeast, and joined the government. At that time, he was assigned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but at that time the Northeast Government was still a local government, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was of little use. In addition, Foreign Minister Shi Yuewang's talent made him admire. Therefore, he took the initiative to apply for transfer to the newly established Ministry of Information of the Northeast Government, and sat in the high position of Minister of Information with outstanding results. Zhao Yu has a keen sense of news, and he himself claims to be a news person.

"Young marshal, what's the good thing?" Zhao Yu grinned. He didn't have the trembling of many officials in front of Feng Yong, after all, the United States is a country with extremely free thoughts. Zhao Yu went to the United States with his parents when he was a teenager, so his personality was very influenced by American liberal thought. Therefore, he can still maintain a good calm heart when facing Feng Yong.

"How do you know it's a good thing? Don't tell me what journalists' instincts are! Feng Yong said with a smile. As he stayed in a high position for longer and longer, the people around him became more and more trembling towards him, and talking to Zhao Yu without scruples made Feng Yong feel very cordial. After all, Feng Yong in his previous life was just an ordinary person, and this kind of getting along made him very comfortable.

"Hey, young marshal! Just look at your face and know it's definitely a good thing! Is it that the front line has won the battle again? Zhao Yu said with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Not bad. This is the telegram that I have just received, you see, this time I allow you to hype up this battle and its results! Feng Yong said in a deep voice.

"Really!" Zhao Yu almost jumped up with joy. The last time the Sixth Brigade was annihilated, Feng Yong did not let the Northeast Daily and other newspapers controlled by the Northeast government report it in a big way. It's just that it was said above on the front page. After all, the victory of the Sixth Brigade was completely annihilated too suddenly, and it also involved the special operation in the northeast that does not want to be leaked at present. Therefore, Feng Yong instructed not to hype it up. The Japanese side is even more eager to completely cover up this incident. Therefore, the news of the total annihilation of the Sixth Brigade appeared on the front page of the Northeast Daily, and the outside world did not know the truth of the matter, except for the speculation caused by various forces.

This time in the matter of the 10th Division, Feng Yong will not give up. This is a good opportunity to prove the combat effectiveness of the Northeast Army, and it can also publicize the Northeast to all countries in the world. It is a good opportunity for the Beijing government to integrate into the world. Feng Yong is clear about the principle of maximizing resources.

"Of course, I'm going to lie to you about this kind of thing?" Feng Yong said with a smile.

"Minister Zhao, you select some reporters to go to the 18th and 24th brigades to cover the station, and this time you must set up a group of combat models and combat heroes." Feng Yong instructed.

"Don't worry, young marshal, I will definitely make a sensational report this time!" Zhao Yu said confidently.

Seeing off the joyful Zhao Yu, Feng Yong began to contact Li Jun in Beijing. This night raid brought great results but also huge losses, especially the loss of soldiers. More than 10,000 recruits are a heavy pressure on the entire northeast recruit training base, after all, qualified soldiers have already been sent to the Southeast Military Region to supplement the Southeast Military Region's combat consumption. Now the bases are full of recruits who are not satisfied with the selection time. It's murder to send these people who haven't completed their training to the battlefield! Of course, Feng Yong couldn't do it. Therefore, he wanted to transfer troops from the western region to supplement the front-line operations. These need to go through Li Jun, the commander-in-chief of logistics.

Mukden City.

Unlike Feng Yong's propaganda and deployment, Jiang Baili focused more on the military impact of this battle.

"Commander-in-chief, this battle will definitely provoke an act of revenge from the imps." Jiang Baili's operational staff officer Wang Jigang said.

"How do you think the little devil will retaliate?" Jiang Baili raised his head and said. There is encouragement in his eyes, and Jiang Baili is very optimistic about Wang Jigang. and the heart to cultivate him.

"On the southern battlefield, the little devil was severely damaged by a division, and although the remaining first division was strong and strong, the strength was only a lot more than that of the tenth division, but the first division was also facing the main force of the southern military region, and it may not be able to win favor. The little devil is not a fool, after seeing the combat effectiveness of our Northeast Army, the first division in the south will definitely stop advancing and be on guard. lest the mistakes of the 10th Division be repeated. Therefore, the war in the southern theater will be much weaker in the future. In the southeastern theater, the Japanese army still has an advantage in troops, and if it were not for the inability to provide logistical support, I am afraid that the decisive battle in the southeastern theater would have started long ago. This time, the little devil suffered a big loss, and if he wants to save face in the shortest possible time, starting a war in the southeast theater is the best way. Of course, if the logistics of the little devils cannot be restored, they may let the decisive battle be postponed and seek a breakthrough elsewhere. After all, Japan has the largest navy in Asia and can land at any port in our sphere of influence. Wang Jigang said.

Jiang Baili said with an appreciative look on his face: "Go on." ”

"I think that next, the Japanese target is likely to be Shandong. There are only three brigades of elite troops in Shandong, of which the Eighth Brigade still has to guard against the Beiyang Army in Jiangsu, and only two brigades can be drawn out to fight against Japan. The most important thing is that the weapons and equipment of these two brigades cannot be compared with the troops in the northeastern battlefield. Especially in terms of automatic firepower, the 4th and 20th Brigades are far behind Japan. In this case, it is very likely that little Japan will choose Shandong as a breakthrough point, after all, the little devil has a brigade-sized force in Qingdao, and coupled with the strong transportation capacity of the combined fleet, Japan can transport two division-sized troops to Shandong itself within ten days. At that time, it would be impossible for two brigades to resist the Japanese attack. Wang Jigang said.

"Very well analysed. How do you think we should break the deadlock? Draw the attention of the little devils back to the Northeast? Jiang Baili said confidently.

"Unless the decisive battle breaks out early. The attention of the Japanese is only in Tohoku. It's just that our forces are at a disadvantage, and it's easy to suffer a big loss if we attack rashly! Wang Jigang said.

"Very well, the hero sees the same thing. Staff Officer Wang, you already have the vision of an excellent staff officer, but now you lack the courage to make operational decisions. War never gives a time when people are fully prepared. It is undeniable that the combat effectiveness of the little devils is still very strong, but it is not difficult to see from the night attacks of the 18th and 24th brigades that the strength of the little devils is only equal to ours, and the only thing to worry about now is our troops. And it's not your fault, some secret reinforcements you don't know. But counting the time, they should also be at the designated location. It's time for a full-scale counterattack. The little devils have been arrogant in the Northeast for long enough, it's time to send them back to their hometown! Jiang Baili said in a deep voice.

"Reinforcements? Commander-in-Chief......" Wang Jigang asked in surprise.

"Now is not the time for you to know. This is the battle plan I have drawn up, and you will now send it to the Southeast Military Region. Jiang Baili said in a deep voice. Although he admires Wang Jigang very much, there are still many military secrets that Wang Jigang's rank cannot be known. This is the discipline of the Northeast Army, and it is not that Jiang Baili deliberately wants to hide it from him.
