    "What do you think?" Feng Jiwu frowned and said, "Risk! With only tens of thousands of soldiers in hand, the mechanized troops were already moving fast. They suddenly ran in front of the main force of the retreating Kwantung Army. There were hundreds of thousands of little devils. You said it was dangerous."  Isn¡¯t it dangerous? It¡¯s impossible to be surrounded by counterattacks! Tens of thousands of people can¡¯t do anything in a crowd of hundreds of thousands of little devils!¡±

    "Commander, how do we reply to the telegram to Commander Battle?" Zhang Hansheng asked in embarrassment.

    Feng Jiwu shook his head, thought for a moment and said: "Reply the telegram like this, Commander Battle, I have heard all the incoming calls, but I think that with your current strength, the pursuit speed is too fast, and there is a danger of being surrounded by the Kwantung Army. I suggest  Slow down your pursuit, advance steadily, and wait for the follow-up troops to arrive. At least, you shouldn't be too far away from the main force! Send out immediately. If it's too late, Battle won't start the pursuit!"

    Zhang Hansheng agreed, and just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by Feng Jiwu, "Wait a minute!" He rolled his eyes a few times and said, "In the telegram, add these few sentences, and I have already included the contents of your telegram.  , forward it to the division commander truthfully. In addition, it is recommended that your troops intercept and kill the retreating Kwantung Army troops!"

    "Commander, what do you mean?" Zhang Hansheng asked doubtfully.

    Feng Jiwu smiled and said: "Bat'er now has tanks, artillery and infantry. It is impossible to intercept all the retreating Japs. But it is still possible to intercept and kill them all the way. You can't suffer any loss."  , This will also reduce the pressure on the blocking force. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m going to take the name of the division commander and he won¡¯t dare to take the risk!¡±

    "Also, report the situation of our corps' attack and the current position of the forward troops to Commander Han Tie of the Marine Corps in detail, so that he can grasp the following battlefield conditions. So that he can be prepared and avoid complaining, hahaha!  I¡¯m afraid this guy is almost vomiting blood now, right?¡±

    Zhang Hansheng understood, and had to praise the commander's cunning for deploying an armored group with powerful firepower and not pursuing a quick pursuit.  It is also a waste. If you pursue too deeply, you will be in danger of being surrounded by hundreds of thousands of Kwantung Army troops.  But he was completely sure of catching up with some of the Kwantung Army troops. Battelle was able to fight smoothly with the reputation of the division commander on his side.  I won't rush in either.  The best of both worlds!

    Zhang Hansheng hurriedly went to send a telegram. Feng Jiwu looked at the luminous watch. His mind was no longer on the battlefield of this pursuit battle without any suspense. The battle to break through the Daling River defense line of the Kwantung Army had been going on for nearly four hours.  At least for now, everything seems to be going well.  Taking Linghai City is equivalent to being on the road to Fengtian.  There are no more obstacles that can stop the troops from pursuing!

    The Kwantung Army troops on the Daling River line were almost completely wiped out. The news will soon be known to the highest command of the Kwantung Army. It is conceivable that the Kwantung Army will inevitably speed up its retreat. In this way, the pressure will be all over.  It was on the blocking Han Tie troops. Han Tie was going to fight a tough battle, he thought to himself.

    Feng Jiwu's estimate was good. Lieutenant General Ganggang, the commander of the Ninth Army headquarters located in Santaizi, north of Linghai, issued the order to counterattack across the board. In less than an hour, he received bad news one after another. He first tried to silence him.  The troops were bombarded under the command of the artillery group of the Independent Division. Countless artillery shells, as if they had eyes, blew up the Kwantung Army troops to pieces. I don¡¯t know where the artillery of the Independent Division came from.  of cannonballs?

    The troops blocking the gap suffered heavy casualties and had to retreat hastily. Then, they received telegrams from several division commanders on the front line. The contents of the telegrams, without exception, said, "The troops have basically lost their combat effectiveness.  Facing the fierce artillery fire of the independent division and the assault of the armored group, the defensive front was divided, the communication between the division headquarters and the subordinate units was interrupted, and the troops were in a situation of fighting on their own, unable to form effective resistance at all! "

    Among these telegrams, there was only one from Lieutenant General Watanabe, the commander of the 18th Division. Lieutenant General Granny already knew the outcome. Watanabe must have been broken into pieces. The independent division troops were attacking in the direction of Linghai.  In the key areas, Lieutenant General Watanabe and the 18th Division were inevitably spared. In the end, it was the telegram that Linghai City had fallen in less than two hours, which dealt the final blow to Lieutenant General Barn.

    Even in Santaizi, which is dozens of kilometers away from Linghai, the sound of gunfire can be heard. Lieutenant General Barn, with his eyes straight, realized that the situation was over and the Ninth Army was completely finished. He did not serve His Majesty the Emperor.  The intention to sacrifice one's life has nothing to do with the integrity of the soldiers, but is based on practical considerations. If one is unable to reverse the situation of the war, what can he do even if he goes all out?

    Lieutenant General Barn, who was by no means crazy, sent a telegram to the commander-in-chief, General Yoshijiro Umezu, telling his superiors that all the front-line positions at Daling River had been lost and that the Ninth Army had suffered all casualties. After that, he took the army headquarters with him.  A group of officers ran towards Fengtian. After the general escaped from the barn three times, in less than an hour, Battelle's armored group rumbledAfter overcoming three platforms, the general in the barn saw the opportunity quickly and escaped disaster!

    After receiving the telegram from the commander of the Ninth Army, Lieutenant General Kanagi, in the office of the Kwantung Army headquarters in Fengtian, the anxious General Yoshijiro Umezu suddenly felt his hands and feet cold and felt dizzy. He never expected that with more than 90,000 troops,  , strengthened several field artillery regiments, and the first line of defense of reinforced concrete fortifications with a natural barrier of Daling River collapsed in less than five hours!

    The most terrible thing is that the more than 90,000 people of the Ninth Army were completely lost in more than four hours. According to General Umezu Yoshijiro's estimation, the Ninth Army on the Daling River Defense Line could at least stop the independent division.  Within five days of the troops' offensive for more than five days, the troops on the second and third lines of defense had already withdrawn to the Fengtian front line and completed their defensive deployment.

    Relying on the cities of Fengtian and other places, with hundreds of thousands of troops in hand, we can still deal with the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli for a while, waiting for the response of his memorial to His Majesty the Emperor. There is also a regulation on whether to fight or retreat. Maybe the base camp will not  If you are willing to give up Manchuria and increase your troops again, there may not be any chance of a comeback!

    However, the disastrous defeat of the Ninth Army and the loss of the Daling River defense line disrupted his overall plan. The troops withdrawn from the Liaoxi Corridor area have not yet entered Fengtian, and more are still on the way. According to the breakthrough plan of the independent division,  Speed, the next step is to pursue quickly!

    Turning to defense on the spot, the hundreds of thousands of independent division troops on the Liaodong Peninsula defense line were waiting for what they would do. They lost air superiority and blocked the enemy in the wild. Needless to say, General Umezu Yoshijiro knew how it would end. The wound on his forehead  Cold sweat dripped down his face, "What kind of offensive firepower is it that our more than 90,000 Kwantung Army soldiers, relying on the Daling River natural barrier and reinforced concrete fortifications, can't defend for even a few hours?" He said to himself almost dreamily.

    Lieutenant General Matsuda, the Chief of Staff, flashed into the Commander-in-Chief's office like a ghost. Seeing the lost General Yoshijiro Umezu, his heart immediately tightened. "Commander-in-Chief, we have received information that the independent division troops from the Liaodong Peninsula are heading towards Panshan."  The intention to attack the front line of Beining is very obvious, to intercept our troops withdrawing from the Liaoxi Corridor!" He said in a heavy tone.

    General Umezu Yoshijiro slowly raised his head, his eyes were blank. After a long time, he said: "Matsuda-kun, the war situation in western Liaoning has worsened. The Ninth Army failed too quickly. You immediately order the troops to speed up their retreat. At the same time, Fengtian and  Xingjing, Harbin and other cities have entered a state of combat readiness, and the troops in the direction of Western Manchuria are ordered to immediately begin to retreat. The assembly points are in the direction of Xingjing and Harbin! "

    "The Western Manchurian Imperial Army is now alone. The independent division troops pursuing from the west of Liaoning will be intercepted as long as they divide their forces. In the telegram, commanders at all levels must be clearly told that they must attack as quickly as possible.  retreat!"

    "Okay, Commander-in-Chief, I will convey your order immediately!" Chief of Staff Matsuda said quietly. After walking out of the office, he sighed in his heart, "It's too late, the Kwantung Army troops in Western Manchuria, that China devil Tang Qiu  I won¡¯t let him go. I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s too late to evacuate now!¡±

    On the battlefield in western Liaoning, Battelle's First Assault Armored Group was the forerunner, followed by hundreds of thousands of troops from the Niangziguan Guard Corps. They were divided into three lines and pursued the retreating Kwantung Army like a rolling torrent in the dark night.  The forward arrow is getting closer and closer to the retreating Kwantung Army troops.

    Indeed, as Feng Jiwu said, Han Tie was about to vomit blood. Eleven brigades with hundreds of thousands of troops, after withdrawing from the battlefield in the northern part of the Liaodong Peninsula, left the northern part of the Liaodong Peninsula and ran non-stop to the northwest, heading towards  Along the way, tanks, artillery carriages, trucks, and countless running infantrymen filled the road leading from Panshan to Beining.

    The troops did not conceal the direction of their march at all, just one word: "Quick!" This was forced to do nothing. According to the original plan, the Korean Railway troops had twelve hours to reach the blocking site, which was enough for the troops to deploy and build temporary  Fortified.

    However, the situation on the battlefield in western Liaoning suddenly changed. The Kwantung Army began to retreat across the board. It no longer concealed its purpose as before, but retreated with great fanfare. Moreover, the retreat was still very fast. As a result, the time left for the Han Railway troops was only  About seven or eight hours.

    Order after order was issued to each brigade, just one sentence, "Speed ??up the march!" Hundreds of thousands of people were marching, and the scene was grand. Moreover, each brigade gathered all their motor vehicles, carrying different troops, and rushed to stop the attack in front of the brigade.  Place.

    Where the troops passed by, even the Manchurian troops in some small counties and villages and towns had no time to deal with them. However, there was no need to fight. These Manchurian soldiers had already run away, which saved a lot of energy.

    Running wildly all night, when a hint of fish belly white just appeared on the eastern skyline, Han Tie received a report that Panshan County was ahead.
