    The six brigades commanded by Han Tie used two brigades to block the attack of the newly formed Second Corps of the Kwantung Army from Wulongbei to Baoshan north of Andong. The remaining four brigades all used  In sealing the four divisions of the Japanese Third Army and the remnants of the First and Second Detachments of the Kwantung Army that had retreated from the central battlefield of the Liaodong Peninsula, it can be said that the burden on his shoulders was the heaviest!

    Now, as Wan Lipeng's troops of the 9th Marine Brigade seize the Gaizhou front line ahead of the Japanese troops on the central and western fronts, the remnants of the Japanese Third Army and the Kwantung Army's First and Second Detachments are evacuating all the passages from Fengtian to the north.  , was completely cut off, and the iron door slammed shut.

    At this point, it can be said that the overall situation of the Liaodong Peninsula battlefield has been decided. After repeated attacks, Umezu Yoshijiro's only mobile combat group was annihilated. Therefore, the division commander Tang Qiuli said to Han Tie, "Close the door and fight."  The momentum of the dog has been formed!" I really appreciate it.

    A smile appeared on Tang Qiuli's face. In an instant, Zhao Yuhe discovered that with the afterglow of the setting sun, the division commander's expression was bright and full of energy. "Commander, how can the division commander call back the Marine Corps?" He recovered his momentary confusion and asked.  road.

    Tang Qiuli smiled slightly and said, "Just four words 'very good! Very comforting' are enough!"

    Zhao Yuhe was surprised, "Sir, how can it be so simple?"

    Tang Qiuli said with a smile: "Does it still need to be complicated? The trend of closing the door and beating the dogs has already been formed, why do we need to point fingers anymore? By the way, Yuhe, regarding the area south of Andong, the remnants of the Japanese 107th Division are not actively attacking.  Have you found the reason?¡±

    Zhao Yuhe shook his head and replied: "The situation between the enemy and ourselves on the battlefield in the Liaodong Peninsula is complicated, and the pursuing troops from all walks of life are doing their best. We are among the enemies, and there are enemies among us. The battle lines are very unclear. The Japanese army retreated in multiple directions, and the Korean army retreated in multiple directions.  The commander's troops are facing enemies again. To be honest, the reconnaissance troops at all levels are sometimes unsure of the situation! "

    "However, three hours ago, we received intelligence from the joint aviation command. The reconnaissance plane discovered that there was a Japanese army, about a few thousand people, moving laterally westward from the area south of Andong. According to the Japanese army's  Movement. What is certain is that this Japanese army should be the main remnant of the Japanese 107th Division that retreated from the east line of Zhuanghe!"

    "Move laterally to the west!" Tang Qiuli repeated in surprise, "Yuhe, is it possible that Han Tie took the lead in occupying Anton. This means that the 107th Division's escape route to Fengtian has been cut off.  , as a last resort, the remaining main force intends to retreat from the direction of Gaizhou across the Liaodong Peninsula? The Japanese army fighting with the Korean Railway troops from Longwang Temple to Tangchi in the south of Andong is just to confuse us. What is the real purpose?  Cover its main force on the western front?"

    After listening to Zhao Yuhe's words, Tang Qiuli suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and thought of something that could never happen, but was happening.  Moreover, he can also be sure that the order to order the main remaining force of the 107th Division to retreat westward to Gaizhou came entirely from the hands of the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, General Umezu Yoshijiro!

    Zhao Yuhe's expression was extremely colorful, a bit stunned. After a long time, he said incomprehensibly: "Commander, is this incredible? The remnants of the 107th Division are followed by our two brigades. I don't want to  In order to open the Andong Passage, we have to walk more than 200 kilometers across the Liaodong Peninsula and retreat north from Gaizhou? "

    "Moreover, Gaizhou is now occupied by the 9th Marine Brigade. If this Japanese army goes here, isn't it just a trap and seeking death? What's more, our pursuit troops on the middle and west routes will be there at any time.  It¡¯s possible to intercept and kill, but if that¡¯s the case, it¡¯s definitely a stupid move, a big stupid move!¡±

    Tang Qiuli laughed and said simply, "Don't be surprised, Yuhe. When people are cornered, they will do unexpected things, and Umezu Yoshijiro is no exception. Don't rush to deny it yet, let's wait and see!  In addition, please inform all departments to prepare, and we will try to return to Kailu, East Mongolia early tomorrow morning!"

    "In addition, order Feng Jiwu's troops in the Western Liaoning Corridor, Yuan Jinghao's troops in Western Manchuria, and Sun Zhenbang's troops in southeastern Outer Mongolia to make all preparations before the attack, and order the directly affiliated corps to prepare for an attack on the northeastern and northwest borders!"

    Zhao Yuhe was shocked. He heard a very shocking meaning from the division commander's words. The battle of the Liaodong Peninsula was not over yet. The division commander was already preparing to launch a full-scale attack on the Kwantung Army in the Northeast. The battle to regain the Northeast was an understatement.  He was unexpected at first, and he also believed that the division commander's decision was a bit rash. At least, it would be safer to wait until the Liaodong Peninsula Campaign was over before launching the Northeast Campaign!

    Zhao Yuhe thought for a moment and said, "Commander, does your order mean that the campaign to regain the Northeast will begin in full force?"

    Tang Qiuli smiled and said:??: "Do you have a good understanding? The fighter planes have matured. Starting from the landing battle at Lushunkou, the Liaodong Peninsula battlefield has been repeatedly entangled with the Japanese army for more than a month. Now, the battle situation has been decided, it is time!"

    Zhao Yuhe said frankly: "Commander, judging from the current battlefield situation in the Northeast, the main force of the Kwantung Army is divided into three parts, one is in the western Liaoning Corridor area, the second is in the Western Manchuria area, and the third is along the northeastern and northwest border, and our army  The three main field corps were holding back the three main forces of the Kwantung Army, and the battlefield was in a temporary state of balance, which made Umezu Yoshijiro dare not dispatch a single soldier to reinforce the Liaodong Peninsula battlefield. "

    "In contrast, the Liaodong Peninsula battlefield is a relatively independent battlefield. At present, the battle has not yet ended. The Kwantung Army's new Second Corps still has about 100,000 troops. For Commander Han Tie's troops,  It has to be a huge threat. Although the situation of the Liaodong Peninsula war has been determined, I am worried that once we launch a full-line attack on the Kwantung Army in the Northeast, will it affect the end of the Liaodong Peninsula campaign? Or will something unexpected happen?  Variable? Please consider my opinion!¡±

    Tang Qiuli sighed slightly and explained in a calm tone: "Yuhe, your analysis cannot be said to be wrong, but your biggest limitation is that you regard the war as relatively static, or in other words, several battlefields.  They are not closely related to each other, just as you judge the status of the Liaodong Peninsula battlefield in the entire Northeast battlefield! "

    Regarding the division commander's evaluation of his opinions, Zhao Yuhe did not have any psychological resistance, but listened extremely carefully. Tang Qiuli continued: "Li Honggang's three main field brigades of the 29th Corps will be here tonight.  If you can reach the port of Anton, then the new Second Corps of the Kwantung Army that you are worried about will be defeated immediately. Even without the reinforcements of the 29th Corps, the new Second Corps of the Kwantung Army will not be able to retake Anton.  , eat up Han Tie's troops or severely damage them!"

    "The commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, Umezu Yoshijiro, knew this clearly. In other words, he had no confidence at all in the Second Corps, which was mainly composed of Manchukuo soldiers. The remnants of the Japanese 107th Division that retreated from the Eastern Front  The main force abandoned Anton and turned to Gaizhou, which is enough to prove this point. When he forced the Kwantung Army to form a new second corps to attack Anton at all costs, Umezu Yoshijiro had the attitude of profiting from success and not harming the overall situation.  , cannon fodder! Make full use of its value!¡±

    "After the Ninth Brigade of the Han Railway Force occupied Gaizhou, the news would soon be learned by the Kwantung Army Headquarters. Umezu Yoshijiro knew what this meant. The Japanese Third Army and the Kwantung Army's Third Army, which had retreated all the way from the battlefield in the central Liaodong Peninsula,  1. The remnants of the second detachment may not be able to withdraw to Fengtian. There are interceptions in front and pursuits in the rear. Only the Korean Railway troops blocked the Japanese army from Andong to Gaizhou for a day and a night. The remaining more than 50,000 Japanese troops  There is no possibility of breaking through the blocking line!¡±

    "Then, there are the six brigades we are chasing, plus the six brigades in Han Tie's hands, and the three brigades of the 29th Corps, a total of fifteen brigades with nearly 280,000 troops. The next step  Where will the attack point be directed? Yes, Fengtian, and then the hinterland of Northeast China, and Umezu Yoshijiro is on the Fengtian front line. He basically has no troops to defend, and even the Manchukuo army is used. In terms of the use of troops, Umezu Yoshijiro has been unable to sustain it!  "

    "Our troops of fifteen brigades will attack Fengtian and then divide the entire Northeast. They can go south or west. Then, will the main force of the Kwantung Army in the Liaoxi Corridor, Western Manchuria, and the northwest border of Northeast be exposed to enemies from both sides?  situation, anticipating such a result, what would Umezu Yoshijiro do? "

    "The only thing he has to do is to shrink the main force of the Kwantung Army of more than two million troops on the northeastern border as much as possible and shrink it back to the hinterland of the Northeast. On the one hand, it can avoid the fate of being flanked by our army and encirclement. Secondly,  We can use the towns in the hinterland of the Northeast to hold on and resist, and fight a long war of attrition with us, waiting for Japan to dispatch new reinforcements to give the Kwantung Army another blood transfusion and wait for a chance to make a comeback! "

    Tang Qiuli's long speech had very clear logic and distinct layers. Although there were many words, they were all concise and to the point. Zhao Yuhe listened intoxicated, and his thoughts followed the teacher's thoughts, jumping on the broader battlefield, looking like a Northeastern man.  The three-dimensional picture of the battlefield came to mind vividly.

    Tang Qiuli didn't notice Zhao Yuhe's expression. He followed his own train of thought and said, "What Umezu Yoshijiro cares about now is not who is in the hands of Anton, or even the more than 50,000 remnant troops, but the entire Northeast."  , fighting desperately in Anton to attract our attention is not one of the means to conceal his true intentions. Perhaps, he has secretly ordered the main force of the Kwantung Army along the Northeast border to quickly shrink into the hinterland of the Northeast! "

    "If we only focus on the battlefield of the Liaodong Peninsula, then the next battle to regain the Northeast will be carried out in constant pursuit and in the capture of cities. After the entire Northeast is recovered,, what I faced was a ruined Northeastern land, which was definitely not what I wanted!  "
