Regarding the return call from the headquarters, Li Mingfeng did not say anything, nor did he have any dissatisfaction. The call back from the headquarters was both expected and unexpected by him. The reason why he said that it was expected was because he was well aware of the predicament that the current strength of the headquarters had been used to the extreme, and there was almost no reserve force.

He knew that the headquarters could advance into two brigades, and they would come over and hand them over to him for unified command. Giving him command of the two battlefields of Rehe, which originally belonged to two fronts, was already the greatest support. Knowing No. 1 and his consistent attitude towards the Guannai brothers, he understood that this was already a very exceptional case for the headquarters, so from the beginning of the campaign, he never thought about asking for any support from the headquarters. In this battle, all he could count on was the troops at hand. The headquarters told him that there were no reinforcements, no air support, and even at the moment there was no way to increase the artillery force, which he had expected. But none of this is what he needs most at the moment.

What he needs most is for the headquarters to let go of his hands and feet, and not to tie him up in Redong. As long as the headquarters can loosen his bonds, he doesn't care if there is follow-up support, he doesn't care if there is air support. As a veteran who survived the toughest times, he didn't have so many requirements.

As for saying that it was unexpected, it was because he never expected that the headquarters would approve his large-scale in-depth penetration operation behind enemy lines so quickly. He did not pursue any responsibility for his own first cut and then play, and expanded the battlefield to the entire western part of Liaoning, and even the No. 1 personally criticized the saying on the telegram that the bigger the movement, the better.

At the moment, although the headquarters did not provide him with any support, they gave him what he needed most, which was enough for him. When he received the call back from No. 1, he was in a very happy mood. And the staff officers and guards around him also saw that their chief actually hummed a military song in a rare voice out of tune.

You must know that Li Mingfeng, who has incomplete five tones, has never sung. He usually can't even sing military songs, and even military songs are rarely sung. Especially when he was on standby before, his chief didn't even say humming, but he didn't even have a smile on his face. Obviously, his chief's mood must be extremely happy now.

is in a happy mood, which means that the strength of his Li Mingfeng's shot will definitely not be small. He stabbed three times in a row to the south, and all three stabs were stabbed in the deadliest place of the Japanese army. He doesn't make a move, and as soon as he makes a move, it is definitely a killer move.

And Li Mingfeng suddenly penetrated Ye Baishou with a force, and raided various strategic points on the periphery of Beipiao in one fell swoop, and at the same time clamped Chaoyang County with a force. The continuous shots were extremely unexpected by Shizuo Yokoyama and even Lieutenant General Tsujihei Washizu. These two Japanese lieutenant generals, a supreme commander of the western Liaoning battlefield and a front-line commander, did not expect that Li Mingfeng would dare to go to the battlefield behind and go straight to the Jincheng Railway in the hot situation of the Jianping battlefield.

After receiving the report that Ye Baishou was missing, and a large number of enemy troops suddenly appeared around Chaoyang and Beipiao, Lieutenant General Washijin was so surprised that he didn't even notice that the phone had fallen to the ground. He couldn't figure it out, his opponent only had so many troops, could his guts grow hair?

But whether Li Mingfeng's guts have grown hair or not, this is not something that he should worry about. Now for him, sticking to the north ticket is the most critical thing. It doesn't matter if the county seat of Beipiao is lost, but if a few coal mines around Beipiao are lost, it will mean a big deal for themselves and even the entire Kwantung Army.

The current situation in Beipiao is that the defenders are mainly stationed along the Jincheng Railway, and there are really not many defenders in the surrounding mining areas. Compared with Beipiao County, the Kwantung Army paid more attention to the coal mines around Beipiao County. But the problem is that if the north ticket is lost, the rising sun will not be able to keep. If Chaoyang is lost again, the entire western Liaoning will be in danger.

The situation on the battlefield has changed abruptly, and the northern ticket is a place that the Kwantung Army must resolutely defend and must not lose. At this moment, Lieutenant General Eagle Jin Leadhei immediately transferred four infantry squadrons from the Fuxin and Beizhen garrisons, and three infantry squadrons from Jinzhou and Yixian to immediately go all out to reinforce Beipiao and Chaoyang.

At the same time, Lieutenant General Washizu gave Lieutenant General Shizuo Yokoyama, who was currently in Chaoyang City, a severe reprimand. He was ordered to do whatever it took to ensure the safety of Beipiao, Chaoyang, and the coal mines in Beipiao. Lieutenant General Washizsu Leadhei directly told him that the safety of the Beipiao Coal Mine has a bearing on the winter of the entire Kwantung Army this year. If there is any mistake in the northern ticket, he will go to apologize to His Majesty the Emperor himself.

And Lieutenant General Shizuo Yokoyama at the front, after being severely reprimanded. I also don't care about the battle situation in the northeast battlefield of Jianping, and I don't care about the importance of the location of the four camps and mountains. The front-line troops were ordered to disengage from the enemy at all costs, immediately retreat with the whole army to reinforce Chaoyang and Beipiao, and quickly recapture Ye Baishou.

Although Lieutenant General Washizu Leadhei mobilized seven squadrons to reinforce Beipiao and Chaoyang, plus the local defenders. However, these forces are only enough to hold on to the two county seats, and they are not enough to undertake the entire surface defense. In addition, it is necessary to recapture Ye Baishou and reopen the connection with Ling Yuan, which is far from enough for Yokoyama Shizuo.

The North Ticket and Chaoyang must be guarded, and Ye Baishou must also be taken back. If Ye Baishou is not recaptured, Ling Yuan will not be able to defend it. If Ling Yuan can't hold it, it is equivalent to opening the door to Jidong. Jidong is lost, even if he holds the Beining line, it is useless. Lieutenant General Shizuo Yokoyama, who now feels that he is already sitting on the crater, will not understand the difficulty of retreating from the northeast of Kenpyeong at this time.

But no matter how difficult it is, it must be withdrawn, and the salient of Jianping is indeed important to the current Kwantung Army. But it is not as important as Lingyuan, Ye Baishou, Chaoyang, and Beipiao. If Jianping is lost, the defense line retreats south, but if you lose Beipiao and Chaoyang, and then lose Ye Baishou and Ling Yuan, then the defensive posture of the entire western Liaoning is the most dangerous.

Therefore, the troops in the northeast battlefield of Jianping, whether he wants to or not, must be withdrawn. Relying solely on the little troops drawn by Lieutenant General Washizu Leadhei, it is already the best to ensure the safety of Beipiao and several surrounding coal mines. Even the reinforcement of the rising sun is not enough.

To recover Ye Baishou and ensure the safety of Chaoyang and Beipiao, he can only do whatever it takes. Even if it is difficult to evacuate, the troops in the northeast battlefield of Jianping must be withdrawn. Because not to mention that the first line of Chaoyang and Beipiao was lost, it was slightly destroyed by the enemy, and it was difficult for them to make a difference.

After ordering the immediate retreat of the northeast battlefield of Jianping, he gave a death order to the defenders of Sidaoyingzi Mountain, immediately abandoning Sidaoyingzi Dashan and forcibly moving south, flanking the enemy who attacked Beipiao. There is no way, in the entire Jianping theater closest to Beipiao, there are only four camps and the defenders of Dashan have no main combat mission at present.

On the way south, there were no enemy troops, and now they were the only troops that could quickly reinforce the northern ticket. Although he also knew that the best way at the moment was not to go south, but to form a reinforced brigade based on the defenders of the four battalions, and attack Xinhui on the spot. Besieged Wei to rescue Zhao and forced the enemy on the periphery of Beipiao to retreat.

But now that the overall situation is pressing, he can only watch this excellent fighter and dare not take advantage of it. From Sidaoyingzi Mountain to Xinhui County, there are continuous mountains in between. In addition to the commanding heights of Sidaoyingzi, there are also a number of peaks of more than 1,000 meters around.

Once his own tactics of encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao come to an impasse, then the evacuation progress of the northeast battlefield in Jianping will definitely not be smooth. The only force that can maneuver is in the mountains between Sidaoyingzi and Xinhui, so the county town of Beipiao, which has not received enough reinforcements in the rear, will also fall into a catastrophe. He had to keep some hands behind in case of any unexpected that might arise.

And compared to Lieutenant General Washizu Leadhei, Lieutenant General Shizuo Yokoyama has more ideas. He almost did not draw troops at any cost, and he still had the purpose of completely destroying the enemy troops who had penetrated into the line from Ye Baishou to Chaoyang. Even if you can't solve all of the Anti-Japanese Federation in the Redong battlefield, you can still eat one part of it and completely stabilize the battle situation in western Liaoning.

But how determined is it both Lieutenant General Washizu and Lieutenant General Shizuo Yokoyama. But some things are easier said than done. As soon as the Japanese defenders on the front line of Sidaoyingzi Mountain gave up Sidaoying and the surrounding positions and headed south, they were keenly noticed by Li Mingfeng, who had been staring at it for a long time.

Although Li Mingfeng had put aside the enemy of the four camps and mountains before, he focused on the battlefield in the northeast of Jianping. But it doesn't mean that he really turns a blind eye to the enemy of the four camps and mountains that are close to the northeast battlefield of Jianping. He had already arranged for reconnaissance troops to closely monitor the enemy in the mountains of Sidaoyingzi. As soon as the Japanese troops there moved, he quickly discovered it.

After determining that the enemy in Sidaoyingzi Mountain was retreating southward, Li Mingfeng immediately ordered the advance from Zhangjiayingzi to the reinforced battalion and abandon the original task of going south to cooperate with the main force of the brigade. Immediately from the existing activity area of the Laohushan River Valley, immediately go north to carry out interception. The unit was ordered to hold the Japanese troops in the Daqingshan line for at least eight hours at all costs.

The main force of the brigade was ordered, except for one part of the troops to hold Ye Baishou, and all the rest of the troops launched a feint attack on the Chaoyang line. But he repeatedly emphasized in his orders that it was a feint attack, and the action must be done sufficiently, but the main force could not be really stuck by the Japanese army. The focus is on the surroundings of Chaoyang, not the county seat of Chaoyang.

Ordered a raid on the Beipiao troops and hurried the laborers out as soon as possible. And completely blow up the railway lines from Beipiao to Chaoyang and Beipiao to Fuxin, so as to delay the reinforcement of Japanese reinforcements as much as possible. If the Japanese reinforcements are too fast, then the original combat mission will be abandoned. Along the Jincheng Railway and the line of the Yakniu River, the enemy of Fuxin and Yixian was blocked from reinforcing the Daqingshan battlefield.

At the same time, a reinforced battalion left behind by the Xinhui defenders was ordered to immediately move south at the speed of a forced march, directly behind the retreating enemy of Sidaoyingzi Dashan, and cooperate with the Daqingshan frontal blocking force to strive to encircle and annihilate it on the Daqingshan line. However, it should be noted that when heading south, it is necessary to advance covertly and achieve the tactical purpose of the raid as much as possible.

Li Mingfeng's decision is equivalent to singing an empty city plan on the front line of Xinhui. In the current chaotic situation, this is undoubtedly a rather bold choice. If the Japanese army sent an infantry brigade to attack Xinhui County at this time, there would be only one company of Xinhui defenders, not to mention Xinhui County, that is, the surrounding mountains, large and small, would not even be enough to defend one.

But Li Mingfeng's courage is so big, for him who hates the style of fighting according to the rules, he prefers to surprise and win. I will fight mine, you will fight yours, see who can't stand it first, can't stand it, and respond to all changes with all changes, this is his central idea in this battle.

To be honest, he didn't have that time to play mountain offense or defensive combat step by step. He was gambling, betting that the Japanese army would not dare to lose the northern ticket, nor would he dare to sit idly by and watch Chaoyang be threatened, let alone care whether Ye Baishou was lost or not. He gambled on Shizuo Yokoyama, and he didn't have this desperate mentality of his own.
