Umezu Mijiro clearly told Lieutenant General Washizsu that the task given to you by the Kwantung Army must be completed. However, within the entire structure of the Kwantung Army on the battlefield in western Liaoning, the two most complete divisions and regiments must not be crippled. Once these two divisions suffer heavy losses, the entire front of western Liaoning will be threatened, which will affect the stability of the entire northeast war situation.

Because the current Kwantung Army can't even draw the strength of a brigade. On the battlefield in western Liaoning, it is not only a matter of losing the natural barrier of Nuruer Tiger Mountain, but also that western Liaoning has become one of the few energy and mineral bases in the area controlled by the Kwantung Army.

If the coal mines in Fushun and Benxi cannot be repaired in a short period of time. In the coal mines that lost Fuxin and Beipiao, the entire Kwantung Army will be frozen this winter. The energy needs of the surviving industries in South Manchurian will also be completely lost. Although the coal in Fuxin and Beipiao is not the best thermal coal, it is still okay as fuel coal and chemical coal.

Umezu Mijiro was extremely uncomfortable when he thought that the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Kwantung Army, together with the hundreds of thousands of Japanese expatriates in South Manchuria, plus the large number of surviving factories in South Manchuria, could only rely on Fuxin and Beipiao, two coals that could only be regarded as small coal mines in Manchuria, to survive the winter.

Xi'an is lost, and so is the high-quality thermal and industrial coal resources there. Several large coal mines in Fushun were also demolished in this anti-union raid, and all machinery and equipment were removed, and some mine roads were blown up. It didn't matter if the laborers were taken away, as long as the empire still had the upper hand on the battlefield in China, there were as many laborers as they wanted.

It really can't be done, I bowed my head and sent a telegram to the Chinese army, and they could capture tens of thousands of young and middle-aged people for the Kwantung Army with a few sweeps on the battlefield of China. But the point is that the technicians are captured, the machinery is destroyed, the mine tunnels are blown up, and the recovery will be a long process.

In order to ensure that it is likely to be the last hope of the Kwantung Army for the winter, the western Liaoning coal base, as the commander of the Kwantung Army, Umezu Mijiro cannot but be extremely cautious. He didn't believe that North Korea's coal would give a share to the Kwantung Army when it still had to bear the local supply.

At this time, the base camp can do the matter of transferring ammunition from stockpiles, and what else can't be done? Instead of counting on the kindness of the base camp, it is better for the Kwantung Army to do it themselves. First of all, the only two coal mines with high output in western Liaoning should be secured, and then the destroyed coal mines in Fushun and Benxi should be restored as soon as possible, so as to solve the urgent need of the Kwantung Army to burn coal.

After the Fushun Mine and Benxi Coal Mine were destroyed by the Anti-Japanese Union, the Kwantung Army, which only had the two larger coal mines of Fuxin and Beipiao, was left in its hands, and now it was really urgent to burn coal. If these two coal-producing areas are lost, and the Fushun mine cannot be restored in a short period of time, the entire Kwantung Army will really be frozen this winter.

In order to secure the energy and mineral base in western Liaoning, Umezu Mijiro decided whether to take an offensive on the western Liaoning front on the basis of a large number of troops in Rehe and a comprehensive analysis of the entire battle situation. However, at both ends of the first rat, he asked Lieutenant General Washitsu to leave enough defensive troops on the Jincheng line.

The two divisions could not be dispatched on the whole line, and there could not be enough covering troops left behind them. Although western Liaoning is located in a hilly area, the terrain where the Anti-Japanese Union on the periphery of Fengtian is located is the Songliao Plain. Once the anti-coalition forces besieging Mukden were ineffective for a long time, they suddenly turned to tank clusters and penetrated directly from Xinmin to Fuxin.

Then, in the western Liaoning battlefield, where the two divisions were all thrown into the front line of Nuruer Hushan and the troops behind him were empty, they would face the situation of being attacked by the enemy. In the event of any danger to these two divisions, Liaoxi will not only be unable to hold it, but will also threaten the safety of the Bac Ninh Railway. Even Shanhaiguan, Jinzhou, and Huludao were under the threat of enemy forces.

The enemy army in Suiyuan's Mongolian Xinjiang army has staged a classic scene of deep and deep intersperse, unexpectedly crossing the Yin Mountain, which has always been considered a natural danger by the Mongolian Xinjiang army, and breaking into the back of the Suidong and Chaxi battlefields in one fell swoop, resulting in a strategic surprise attack on the entire line of Suiyuan, Jinbei, and Chaxi battlefields.

From the current location of the Anti-Japanese Federation on the periphery of Fengtian to Fuxin, western Liaoning, except for a natural barrier in Yiwulu Mountain, the rest of the Songliao Plain is a flat river, which is extremely conducive to the terrain of concentrated and large-scale armored raids that the enemy is accustomed to. With the extremely cunning style of the Anti-Japanese Union, who can guarantee that their offensive in Mukden is nothing more than a bluff?

The first line of Xinmin, Kangping, and Faku is exactly in the area between Fengtian and western Liaoning. To the east, you can attack Fengtian, Tieling, and Kaiyuan, and cut off the retreat of the front-line combat troops in Siping. To the west, you can go straight to Fuxin and Yixian, and to the south, you can go straight to Montenegro. The enemy army suddenly moved south, and directly penetrated the hands of Kangping and Faku, which can be said to hit the waist and eye of the entire Kwantung Army.

In addition to asking the troops on the periphery of Mukden to stubbornly entangle the anti-coalition forces in front of them, Lieutenant General Umezu Mijiro also repeatedly asked Lieutenant General Washizsu to not focus his attention on the enemy troops in the western Liaoxi and Redong areas. You must pay attention to your back, and you must leave enough troops on the front line of Fuxin. The experience of the Mongolian Xinjiang Army should not be repeated again in the Kwantung Army.

In the northeastern theater, General Umezu Mijiro adopted an overall strategic plan for attacking in the west and defending in the east. With the feint of the Rehe battlefield, fight a mountain offensive battle. On the Eastern Front, they shrank their heads and posed in a turtle and fire hedgehog formation. Like the Anti-Union, they are gritting their teeth and struggling to support it.

Yang Zhen's intention to concentrate the last bit of mobile forces and launch a new offensive was to crush the Kwantung Army's ability to launch a counterattack in a short period of time as much as possible, to recuperate for the anti-union in the second half of the year, and to buy time for restoring the vitality of the old base areas in North Manchuria. And play a strategic role in the battle situation in the north of Jin, so that the Japanese army can throw a mouse trap when mobilizing reinforcements.

And Umezu Mijiro put on this position, and also tried to consume the vitality of the Anti-Union as much as possible to ensure the safety of Nanman before the Kwantung Army recovered. At the same time, it ensured the intention of restoring the strength of the Kwantung Army after the completion of the southern advance of the empire, and finally fully restoring the situation in Manchuria to win a respite.

Try to consume the opponent's vitality in the final stage of this battle as much as possible, and make a little preparation and foreshadowing for the future in advance. At this point, the supreme commanders of the two sides in the northeastern battlefield were unanimously chosen. Yang Zhen and General Umezu Mijiro, the purpose of the final stage of this battle is actually the same in this regard.

And on the basis of this same intention, it is a four-level battlefield that is in a stalemate compared to the surface of the battle, but in fact it is a stalemate. The troops participating in the battle on both sides of the enemy and the enemy attacked and defended the western battlefield of Fengtian with one board and one eye. and the Liaodong battlefield where you come and go and I seem to be very lively, but only in the shallow depth and depth.

In the western Liaoning battlefield, Lee Myung-bak, who was currently under unified command of the Rehe battlefield, was now transferred to only one and a half divisions of the anti-coalition troops, with the cooperation of the two brigades of the advance army. With limited artillery fire. With the tactics of defending and attacking in the north, he fought a rather exciting, but mountainous battle with the Japanese army in the Nurur Tiger Mountains.

Lee Myung-bak did not concentrate his vital forces to fight for the line from Sidaoyingzi Mountain to Daqing Mountain, which is the commanding height of the entire Nurur Tiger Mountain Theater. Instead, with the strength of a reinforced regiment, it launched from the northern front and relied on the terrain to block Chaoyang and Beipiao, and attacked the main force of the Japanese army advancing in the northwest direction.

Concentrate a reinforced regiment and forcibly intersperse it to the south to threaten the county seat of Jianping. With two battalions and one regiment of the advance army as a reserve, it secretly interspersed with the first line of Damaigou in the northeast of Jianping County to hide and wait. Once the Japanese army in Chaoyang reinforced Jianping, it immediately encircled and annihilated the reinforcing Japanese army.

With a brigade advancing into the army, it put on a posture of attacking Ye Baishou. Concentrate another brigade, strengthen a battalion of mountain artillery, and use the mountainous terrain to detour Zhangyingzi Town behind Jianping County to cut off the connection between Jianping County and Ye Baishou. And with this division, spread along both sides of the mountain road, and set up a pocket formation to prepare to ambush the Japanese troops reinforced from Ye Baishou.

Lee Myung-bak focused the battlefield on the territory of Jianping, focusing on Jianping, a strategic town between western Liaoning and Rehe. On his front, Lieutenant General Washizsu Leadhei focused his attack on the Shinhui line. Lieutenant General Washizu knew very well that without taking Shine, General Umezu Mijiro's order would not be fulfilled at all.

Therefore, he held the northeast of Fuxin with four infantry brigades, and entered the camel mountain line of the road from the Liaohe Plain to the hilly area of western Liaoning. With a wing, he stuck to the front line of Chaoyang and Jianping, and he took three infantry brigades to personally sit in Beipiao and respond in the center. Concentrate a half-wing team and form a group to attack the front line of Xinhui.

At the same time, two infantry brigades were attached to the former Manchurian Imperial army after the great blood change and the crippled again and again. The only remaining formed system, and the so-called most sophisticated combat effectiveness, retreated from the Rehe battlefield to the entire strength of the ironstone troops in western Liaoning. In addition, a regiment of the railway guard force, known as the so-called iron-blooded army, was secretly deployed between Jianping and Xinhui. If the Anti-Japanese Union reinforces Xinhui from Chifeng, it will immediately outflank its reinforcements.

With a reinforced brigade as the backbone, a detachment was formed, plus a special team called the Iron Man Force, to which this iron and stone unit belonged, and a former Japanese garrison belonging to Jianping and Lingyuan as guides. Along the western mountainous areas of Ye Baishou and Jianping, secretly went north to Chifeng, and found a place for the anti-union baggage hoarding. Destroy the entire battlefield in western Liaoning, the logistics supply of the Anti-Union.

Lieutenant General Washizu tried to take advantage of the attack on Xinhui, the place where the Anti-Japanese Federation must be saved, to greatly mobilize the forces of the Anti-Japanese Union that are currently concentrated on the line from Xinhui to Chifeng. Look for fighters and encircle and destroy the Rehe battlefield to resist the United Nations. And Lee Myung-bak also focused his attack on Jianping, the gateway to western Liaoning.

On the battlefield of western Liaoning, whether it was Lee Myung-bak or Lieutenant General Washitsu Leadping, it was very tacit that the target of the attack was chosen the place where the other party must be saved. Try to use the fatal point of attacking the opponent, fully mobilize the opponent's forces, open up the gap in its defense, and create a fighter plane for yourself to encircle and annihilate the enemy.

In terms of tactical use, the two are also taking advantage of the direction of the Nurul Tiger Mountain, as well as the terrain that the mountainous area is not steep, but the length is sufficient, to find a favorable opportunity to maneuver and ambush. Strive to use ambush warfare to reduce your own losses on the battlefield and crush your opponent's forces as quickly as possible.

In the battlefield of western Liaoning, Lieutenant General Washijin had a slight advantage in the troops, and some of the elite of the puppet Manchu army withdrawn from Rehe to western Liaoxi cooperated in the battle. And there is a so-called special force, that is, a plainclothes squad specially used to sabotage the local power of the anti-Japanese armed forces behind enemy lines.

These Japanese are specially trained plainclothes teams, good at make-up reconnaissance, and they are all specially trained, especially good at sabotage and assassination. These plainclothes teams that participated in the sweeping of the eastern Hebei region last year brought considerable losses to the eastern Hebei Military Region at that time.

In addition to the Japanese army that had controlled Liaoxi and Rehe for a long time, they were relatively familiar with the terrain in this area. From this point of view, the Japanese army has at least a superficial advantage in the entire Nurul Tiger Mountain theater. Even if he had to leave a certain amount of troops left behind in the rear, the strength he put into the front line was almost equal to that of Lee Myung-bak.
