Even after the interspersed operation of Ma Chunsheng's department began, Guo Bingxun proposed to temporarily suspend the offensive after Ma Chunsheng interspersed in place. However, at that time, he did not propose to move the whole line to defense. Instead, after Chen Hanzhang's troops took Tongliao, they turned to defense on the spot.

The first is to prepare for the Kwantung Army's transfer of the Fifth Division to the front line of Xifuxin and Zhangwu, and it is very likely to carry out key follow-up counterattack operations against the Tongliao battlefield, as well as to respond to the operations of Wang Guangyu and Ma Chunsheng. As long as they were on the Tongliao front, the Kwantung Army would not be able to invest too many troops in the remaining two battlefields.

Third, he also thinks that he can't chew too much, and he can only support himself if he eats too much in one go. Chewing and swallowing slowly is the real last word, and he still understands this truth. What's more, the belly of the Anti-Union is still far from reaching the Cheng dù that can sweep the entire Northeast in one go.

However, although he did not disagree with Yang Zhen on the matter of terminating the offensive and turning to defense on all fronts. However, for Yang Zhen's follow-up plan, he disagreed with it in one aspect. For the rest, he didn't have any opinions. But he had his own ideas about Du Kaishan's premature appearance on the battlefield.

In Guo Bingxun's view, since he had made up his mind to end the offensive on all fronts, Wang Xiaoming's troops, who had already captured a quarter of the entire Xinjing battlefield on the Xinjing battlefield, should take action at the same time. There is also the use of Ma Chunsheng and Wang Xiaoming, who also have some different constructions.

In Guo Bingxun's view, compared with several other departments, most of Wang Xiaoming's troops who have entered the new capital are the most difficult to get rid of the entanglement of the Japanese army in the case of street fighting. In the case of a staggered mix of enemy and enemy forces, if we want to withdraw safely, we must have a rigorous and meticulous plan. Otherwise, it's hard to get out of the big basket.

In Yang Zhen's plan, he did not take into account Wang Xiaoming's troops on the battlefield of Xinjing. Guo Bingxun knew that this was not because Yang Zhen did not take into account the actual situation on Wang Xiaoming's side. It is precisely in the hope that Wang Xiaoming can increase some of the pressure in the Xinjing direction as much as possible, and attract the Kwantung Army to invest more troops in the Xinjing battlefield to reduce the pressure on other battlefields.

After attacking the Shinjo area, despite the Japanese army's determination to fight for every inch of land, it also proved the importance of Shinkyo to the Kwantung Army and its determination not to be lost. However, after the main force in the Jilin direction was transferred to the Xinjing battlefield, Wang Xiaoming's troops were quite sufficient. If you want to put some more pressure on the Kwantung Army in the Shinkyo direction, it is not that you are without strength.

But it is precisely for this reason that Guo Bingxun disagrees with Yang Zhen's idea. Shinkyo is a large city, and troops entering such a city to fight are bound to be divided into multiple fronts by streets and buildings, and may even be cut into smaller formations. Under such circumstances, it is not an easy task to gather troops and withdraw.

In Guo Bingxun's view, even if he did not immediately withdraw from the Xinjing area, he should at least let Wang Xiaoming stop continuing to attack in depth and withdraw some troops from the city. Otherwise, it will go too deep, and it will not be easy to withdraw again. Especially now that they are biting each other very tightly with the Japanese defenders in the city.

As for Liu Changshun and Tao Jingfei on the Eastern Front, Guo Bingxun didn't have any ideas. Liu Changshun's department has already been transferred to defense. And Tao Jingfei's department was only a feint, and it was not close to the Japanese and Korean troops, and it was not too difficult to break away.

After pondering for a long time, Guo Bingxun shook his head and said, "No. 1, there is no problem with Chen Hanzhang's division being transferred to defense. But now the key is Ma Chunsheng and Wang Xiaoming, will they shrink back immediately? Ma Chunsheng's department is now fighting fiercely with the Japanese army, while Wang Xiaoming's department has broken into the new capital. ”

"If we have already made up our minds to turn to the defensive, it is better for them to disengage from the Japanese now. Otherwise, once the other battlefields have completed their contraction and turned to defense, the focus of the entire battlefield will be shifted to him. And in street fighting, gathering troops is the most difficult thing. ”

"Once there is too much time to gather the troops, it will be quite difficult for them to break away in a short time. If the Japanese army south of Xinjing took advantage of the other battlefields to stabilize and concentrate their forces to attack its two flanks, it would be quite dangerous for him to have the main force still in the city. ”

"No. 1 is actually compared to other battlefields, because of the special environment in which Wang Xiaoming's department is located, it should be the first to withdraw from Xinjing. And on the whole, letting them withdraw from Xinjing does not mean that we will lose the ability to put pressure on the enemy on the battlefield of Xinjing and the Kwantung Army south of Xinjing. Even if it doesn't work out, it will make the Kwantung Army suspicious and restrain its hands and feet. ”

"Judging from the appearance of the Japanese defenders in the battle before the Xinjing battlefield, the Kwantung Army will never give up Xinjing. And as long as we see this, as long as they guarantee the survival of the periphery of Xinjing, the Kwantung Army will not dare to draw any troops from the Xinjing battlefield and invest them in other directions. ”

"There is also Ma Chunsheng's department, if it can be withdrawn to the west bank of the Xiliao River in advance, then it can effectively cover the back of Chen Hanzhang's department, not to mention, and it can also make way for the 18th Division openly. After all, the information we have received now is that only the 18th Division has begun to retreat southward. But we don't have an accurate information on which route to choose and which direction to retreat. ”

"If they turn south and go straight to the central flag of the left wing of Horqin, it will pose a great threat to Chen Hanzhang. If the Fifth Division went all out north from the front line of Xifuxin and Zhangwu, Chen Hanzhang would be in a dangerous situation if Ma Chunsheng's troops were unable to deal with them. After all, they are not under the command of Wang Guangyu, who is backed by Outer Mongolia, and they are likely to fall into the danger of being caught in the front and back. ”

And this 18th Division chose to go straight behind Ma Chunsheng, so Ma Chunsheng will also be in a situation where he will be flanked back and forth. At the same time, the Japanese Fifth Division went north and entangled Chen Hanzhang's subordinates, making it impossible to support Ma Chunsheng in battle, so it would be quite dangerous for Ma Chunsheng. ”

"Ma Chunsheng's division is only the size of a reinforced division, and it is already very difficult to deal with a division of the Japanese army. If the 18th Division pounced from behind at this time, it would be flanked by the Japanese troops in front of it. Then for Ma Chunsheng's department, it will be in a more dangerous situation than Chen Hanzhang's department. ”

"No. 1, the Kwantung Army's plan is to send at least three divisions to participate in the battle, whether it is to attack Ma Chunsheng's headquarters first or to solve the problem of Tongliao first. Since the 18th Division has already started, will the 5th Division, which is already on the front line of Xifuxin and Zhangwu, and other Japanese divisions and regiments on the front line of Faku and Kaiyuan, participate in the war? ”

"It's still an unknown for us for the time being. Once the Japanese army concentrated its superior forces, it adopted the tactics of holding off one part of Ma Chunsheng's department and Chen Hanzhang's department and concentrating troops to solve them one by one. Whether it is Chen Hanzhang or Ma Chunsheng, if any of them is in danger, Wang Guangyu cannot rescue them. ”

Wang Guangyu, who was still under pressure from two divisions, could not draw any troops to support his friendly troops. For us, this situation is the most dangerous situation. That's why I said that since we have made up our minds to drive the 18th Division back to the place of departure, why don't we do it more simply? ”

"Let Ma Chunsheng's troops get rid of the entanglement with the enemy in advance, directly get out of the way, and force the 18th division to retreat by the same way. As long as we concentrate a group of bombers and use the tactics we used to deal with the 23rd Division in Hailar, we will take an air attack on the 18th Division. They don't want to take the route we have chosen for them, and we can force them to go. ”

At the same time, Ma Chunsheng withdrew behind Chen Hanzhang's headquarters, and the 18th Division turned around and wanted to attack Chen Hanzhang's back again, but it had already lost its fighters. As for the enemy in front of Ma Chunsheng's department, the whole line has been transferred to a defensive posture, and Chen Hanzhang's department, which has the West Liao River as a natural barrier, can completely block it on the east bank of the river. "Also, No. 1, I don't advocate that Du Kaishan's department attack in advance. Du Kaishan's hidden standby, on the whole, is still good for us. The reason why the Kwantung Army was slow to decide whether to reinforce the Tongliao line first, and put the main direction of the counterattack on Linxi. ”

"In addition to their belief that there are complete fortifications on the front line of Tongliao and there will be no problems in a short period of time, I am afraid that there is also something related to the fact that they have not been able to find out where Du Kaishan's headquarters is concealed and standby. Because for the current Kwantung Army, even if there are only two divisions, they dare not take it lightly. ”

"No. 1, no matter how good our ability to keep secrets is, but if the Kwantung Army doesn't even know the names of our senior commanders in the past few years, and hasn't figured it out, then how can the Japanese annex most of China in a short period of time?"

"The intelligence work of the Japanese army has always been known for its meticulousness. The strength of the two divisions under Du Kaishan's headquarters disappeared without a trace after completing the operation against the 71st Division, and it is strange that the headquarters of the Kwantung Army is not suspicious. The Kwantung Army has already started on the front line in Linxi, but the Tongliao side has not moved for a long time, and I am afraid that the main reason is that it is impossible to figure out the movements of Du Kaishan's department, which disappeared on the battlefield. ”

"They sent the 18th Division to take advantage of the gap we had consciously left before to go north, I think their intention is not only to cut off the back road of Chen Hanzhang's department, but also a kind of temptation for us, trying to find out the traces of Du Kaishan's department. In fact, the Kwantung Army should have judged that Du Kaishan should be in the closest position to the Western Manchurian battlefield, but it is not clear in which direction. ”

"And from the point of view of the Kwantung Army, as long as Du Kaishan's subordinates do not appear on the battlefield for a day, they will throw a mouse. The strength of the two divisions is indeed insignificant to the overall battle situation. But for a local war, it can change the outcome of a battle. The combat effectiveness of our army is clearly displayed there. Even with the strength of two divisions, the Kwantung Army did not dare to take it lightly at the moment. ”

"If Du Kaishan's headquarters does not appear for a long time, the Kwantung Army will not dare to carry out a counterattack on our army on all fronts. Because they didn't know that the two divisions under Du Kaishan, who had not shown up all along, would be the next target. Moreover, for the Kwantung Army, which had repeatedly made mistakes in the assessment of our troops, they were not even sure how many troops were hidden in Du Kaishan's department. ”

"If they had also launched an operation in the Tongliao direction at the same time as the Linxi counterattack began. Du Kaishan's department, which has never appeared on the battlefield, will become its most dangerous enemy. Whether Du Kaishan's troops appear in Linxi or on the battlefield of Tongliao, their counterattack will become the deadliest threat. ”

"In order to transfer Du Kaishan's headquarters, they adopted the two-pronged method of selecting one part to launch a counterattack and attacking the other at the same time with the strength of one division and regiment. It's just that the strategic position and threat in the two places, as well as the development of the war situation, are different, and they chose the Linxi battlefield first as the first counterattack point. ”
