However, although he did not plan to do it again, he stabbed the Japanese army in the flank again. However, Yang Zhen was on the front of the Japanese defense on the eastern front, with the Fenghai Railway as the center and the demarcation line. To the west, the line from Xi'an to Beishan City, and the line from Nanshan City to Wufenglou, strengthened the deployment of troops.

The Sixth Division, which had just been replenished and readjusted, was transferred to the area between Beishan City and Nanshan City, and was attached to a howitzer battalion plus a Japanese-made cannon battalion. Against the Japanese troops on the front line of Qingyuan, they continued to launch tactical attacks. Constantly interspersed with shallow, deep and detouring methods, pulling out the troop assembly points and blocking positions that the Japanese army redeployed in the front of Liaodong.

In order to disperse the density of the frontal enemy forces in Siping, Yang Zhen strengthened the deployment of troops in this direction, even if he would rather weaken the limited follow-up force input on the frontal battlefield. He also ordered Wang Xiaoming to command all the troops on the Eastern Front to launch a diversionary attack in the direction of the line from Xinbin to Qingyuan.

If you can, blow up the Qingyuan Hongtoushan Copper Mine that was missed by the last Harvester's action. Of course, if you can take it down, it will be the best. If you can't take it off, blow it up completely. Yang Zhen planned to take advantage of the Japanese army's current psychology of making up for the dead sheep to give the Kwantung Army a good lesson in tactical psychology.

Let the Japanese army disperse a certain amount of troops by themselves, and expose a gap that can definitely be used in the front of Siping. Although Yang Zhen concentrated the last bit of troops this time and launched a new ** trend, it was only to respond to Chen Hanzhang's operation on the Western Front, but it did not mean that Yang Zhen really stopped in the Siping direction.

Completely solve the main forces of the Kwantung Army, he does not have this ability now. However, taking advantage of the Kwantung Army's current mentality of being a soldier on the Eastern Front, the deployment of the Japanese army on the Siping battlefield was mobilized on a large scale. He was still happy to find a favorable fighter and tear a piece of fat from the Kwantung Army. His requirements are not high, and the two main divisions deployed by the Japanese army on the Siping line can be disabled.

However, in the entire Siping battlefield, Yang Zhen still adopted the method of small blade meat, constantly interspersed with shallow and deep roundabouts, which is a tactic that is more suitable for the actual situation of the current anti-United Nations. Although the progress was slower, there was no great opening and closing at the beginning of the campaign. However, it fought steadily and steadily, and consumed the front-line combat troops of the Japanese army little by little.

At present, the situation on the entire battlefield has reached the time when stability is the mainstay, and Yang Zhen will definitely not take any risky actions. However, Yang Zhen also constantly took feints to mobilize the Japanese army on the three fronts of the entire Northeast Battlefield, trying to find fighters to solve another Japanese army under the condition of steady and steady fighting.

I don't know Yang Zhen's follow-up actions on the Eastern Front, he is just bluffing. In fact, there is no need to worry about the Anti-United Nations at all, and it will replicate the last raid. Indeed, there are some Umezu Mijiro, who are all soldiers and rumors, for fear that the success of the first sneak attack will encourage the idea of the Anti-Japanese Federation to do it again.

The overly cautious commander of the Kwantung Army, despite the fact that his troops were also insufficient, chose to strengthen the overall defensive posture in the mountainous areas of Liaodong. However, considering the defensive posture in depth, the defense focus of General Umezu Mijiro is still around Siping and Mukden.

Especially in the Siping direction, although a part of the troops was withdrawn to strengthen the defense line of Liaodong and Mukden. But he is constantly shrinking his position in the direction of Siping. All the Japanese troops participating in the battle in the Siping direction were firmly shrunk into a group. Put on a posture that if you want to fight, I will fight, anyway, I am determined not to come out.

Umezu Mijiro's move in the direction of Siping made Yang Zhen, who still wanted to tear off a piece of meat from the Japanese army, but he was at a loss. The Japanese army took advantage of the semi-permanent fortifications that were stacked on top of each other and supported each other to take a gradual resistance. Even the turtle tactics that rarely carry out tactical counterattacks made Yang Zhen, who had his mouth open, never find a chance to speak.

Its cross-firing anti-tank firepower, as well as a large number of anti-tank trenches and anti-tank obstacles, also made the progress of the armored forces put into the battlefield much slower.

After receiving Yang Zhen's order, Wang Guangyu, who was commanding on the front line, concentrated the main force of the Second Armored Division many times, trying to fight a shallow and deep rapid interspersed battle to separate part of the Japanese army in front of him. However, his many efforts were stopped by the greatly increased number of anti-aircraft artillery groups of the Japanese army and the new anti-tank tactics adopted.

The Kwantung Army clearly learned the lessons of the previous and added anti-aircraft cover to the newly repaired fixed anti-tank positions on the battlefield. At the same time, the deployment of front-line anti-tank gun positions was adjusted, the camouflage of anti-tank gun positions was strengthened, and the range requirements for various anti-tank fire were adjusted.

The Type 94 rapid-fire gun, which is the most heavily equipped, is not allowed to fire at a distance of more than 100 meters. The most powerful rapid-fire cannon should not fire at a distance of more than 150 meters. He also quickly issued photos of various tanks that had appeared on the battlefield in the northeast of the Anti-Japanese Union, and strictly ordered all kinds of anti-tank artillery to shoot at targets.

The Type 88 and Taisho 14-Year anti-aircraft guns, which he painstakingly collected and were transferred to the front as long-range anti-tank firepower, strictly defined the targets for firing. The Maltida II tank, which was helpless against all the anti-tank guns, and the No. 4 tank, which was equipped with a 75-mm gun.

The German-made No. 3 tank and the American-made light tank were handed over to the Type 1 anti-tank gun. As for other types of light tanks, they were handed over to the Type 94 rapid-fire gun. In particular, the T-26 and BT, as well as the German-made No. 2 tank, the Czech-style 38 and 35 tanks, were all changed to the Kwantung Army's Type 94 rapid-fire guns, which were equipped with the largest number of weapons.

At the same time, a large number of light machine guns and grenadiers were deployed around the anti-tank artillery positions as cover fire, which was specially used to block the infantry of the Anti-United Nations and cooperate with the tank to protect these anti-tank guns. For this reason, Okamura Ninji transferred almost all of the light machine guns from the already small reserves in the Mukden arsenal to strengthen the divisions on the front line.

Although this firing distance is almost equivalent to a suicidal defense. But for the Japanese army, it was the best anti-tank method. If, as before, all the anti-tank guns fought separately and opened fire from a distance of three hundred meters. Then you can only let people destroy their anti-tank artillery positions one by one as if they were shooting targets at a long distance.

In order to make up for the shortcomings of anti-tank guns, Okamura Ninji also issued a large number of Type 99 magnetic anti-tank mines and made a large number of Molotov cocktail Molotov cocktail cocktails for the troops in the Siping direction. Even ordered the front-line troops, organized anti-tank units, that is, human anti-tank units.

In order to contain the tank shock wave of the anti-coalition, Umezu Mijiro took all the measures that he deemed necessary. Although these methods are very costly. The excessively close firing distance allowed a considerable part of the Japanese anti-tank guns to survive for no more than half a day.

As for the so-called meat bomb attacks that used Molotov cocktail Molotov cocktail cocktails, Type 99 magnetic anti-tank mines, and even grenades or explosive packs strapped all over their bodies, as long as the brave teams sent out were dispatched, they basically had no return. But these measures taken by Umezu Mijiro still played a certain role.

In the face of the Japanese anti-tank positions that were as lifeless as a hedgehog, as well as a variety of anti-tank means, the speed of the tank offensive and the breakthrough strength of the anti-coalition tanks decreased quite significantly. The many cluster offensives organized by Wang Guangyu paid a certain price, but the effect was not obvious.

It can be said that in the direction of Siping, in the final stage of the campaign, Umezu Mijiro adopted the tactics of shrinking and adding fire hedgehogs, which achieved considerable success. After a long and slow-moving stalemate, Wang Guangyu had to stop this tactic that outweighed the losses. Changed to a conventional tank to cover the infantry, adopting the tactic of attacking on both flanks and breaking through in the middle.

However, in the direction of Siping and Liaodong, Umezu Mijiro's overall strategy was to focus on defense, but in Liaoxi, the orders he gave were exactly the opposite. Umezu Yoshijiro clearly ordered the two divisions of the Japanese army deployed on the front line of Xifuxin and Chaoyang to take advantage of the local trend of Nurul Tiger Mountain to draw troops to fight a limited offensive battle with the Anti-Japanese Alliance.

In the opinion of Umezu Mijiro, if it is on the battlefield of Liaoxi. Being able to expel the Anti-Japanese Union from the western foot of Nuruerhu Mountain, control the entire Nuruerhu Mountain in their own hands, and expand the overall defensive position to the northwest to the Laoha River valley can change the overall defensive posture of the Kwantung Army in western Liaoning in the future.

This is not only when defending the Liaoning West Corridor, but also when it comes to achieving a condescending posture. It is also possible to use the hilly areas of western Liaoning to block layers of attacks and consume the enemy's vital forces trying to enter western Liaoning from the direction of Rehe. Ensure the western Liaoning corridor and ensure that the communication channel between the Kwantung Army and the Chinese dispatch army is unimpeded.

At the same time, it can also lay the foundation for re-entering Rehe in the near future. Although the current commander of the Kwantung Army, who currently believes that the best strategy of the Kwantung Army at the moment is defense, is not too enthusiastic about whether he can recover Rehe. In this operation, the focus of his defense was not on Rehe. Instead, it directly shrank the entire western Liaoxi front to the line of Nuruer Hushan.

The current General Umezu Mijiro is no longer enthusiastic about recovering the lost territory in the eyes of the entire Kwantung Army. His current mind is on how to defend Nanman. However, he still believed that if the northwest front could be extended to the Laoha River valley and Nurur Hushan could be controlled in its entirety, the overall situation of future operations would be changed.

Nuruer Tiger Mountain is connected to Qilaotu Mountain in the northwest, Yanshan Mountain Range in the west, and Songling Mountain Range in the hilly area of western Liaoning Province at its back. It is located at the junction of the Mongolian Plateau and the Liaohe Plain, and to the east is the barrier of the Liaohe Plain. To the south, it is dominated by the Songling Mountains in the hilly areas of western Liaoning, and the mountainous areas of eastern Hebei.

The mountains are high, but not steep. If it can fully regain control of the Nuruer Tiger Mountain Range and push the Liaoxi front forward to the Laoha River, it will be in a position where it can be attacked and retreated. This is quite beneficial to changing the situation of the entire Liaoning West and Rehe battlefields.

At the same time, in terms of strategic situation, if we control all the Nuruerhu mountainous areas, it will be more secure to ensure the safety of coal and mineral bases such as Fuxin and Beipiao in western Liaoning. After several major coal mines in Fushun suffered severe damage in the attack, the coal in Fuxin and Beipiao has become one of the few remaining coal production bases in South Manchuria, and safety is of paramount importance.

If the two major mining areas of Fuxin and Beipiao are lost again, the Kwantung Army will really run out of coal. In order to ensure the safety of the mineral resource base in western Liaoning, Umezu Mijiro gritted his teeth and fought a mountainous offensive against the anti-Japanese alliance and the advance army in front of him on the western Liaoning front.

However, he was worried that these two divisions would be drained of blood in the mountain tug-of-war again and again. He also repeatedly told the commanders of the two divisions on the front line that they must grasp this limited degree of offensive warfare. As much as possible, do not go deep into the Laoha River basin. The line of its attack is strictly demarcated on the east bank of the Laoha River.

However, in order to alleviate the pressure on the Liaoxi side, Umezu Mijiro instructed Lieutenant General Washizu Leadhei, the commander of the Fourth Army of the Kwantung Army commanding in Liaoxi, to properly organize squadron-level reconnaissance troops, go deep into the enemy's depth, and attack the enemy's baggage and headquarters. However, the number and quantity of troops to be invested must be strictly controlled.
