    Lieutenant General Kushima, the commander of the 15th Army of the Kwantung Army stationed in Western Manchuria, asked for a map on the battlefield where bullets were flying like rain. Naturally, he was not looking for a better retreat route. The Kwantung Army troops in Western Manchuria retreated to Xinjing.  , is something that has been planned for a long time, and all routes have been arranged properly, so there is no need for Lieutenant General Jiudao to improvise.

    The purpose of Lieutenant General Kushima's military map is that he feels that we can no longer retreat passively. Otherwise, the 36th Division of the army rear guard will definitely not be able to escape, and even the entire 15th Army will be menacingly attacked.  The Independent Division troops were holding back and encircling them. Lieutenant General Hisashima had no idea about the situation of the other troops in the retreating direction, nor was he in the mood to know, but he still knew very well what the Fifteenth Army was going to face!

    In this way, Lieutenant General Hisashima decided to disobey the commander-in-chief General Yoshijiro Umezu's order. His eyes quickly scanned the map. The heavy bombs of the independent division aviation bomber group exploded on the left and right, and the stirred up soil scattered on the map from time to time.  On the map, the guards of the military headquarters formed a human wall around Lieutenant General Kushima and a group of senior officers. Guards were constantly hit by the flying shrapnel, bleeding all over their bodies, screaming and falling to the ground.

    The screams of the guards affected the emotions of the senior generals of the 15th Army. They kept stealing glances at the bloody corpses around them, and almost cursed the eighth generation of Commander Kushima's ancestors in their hearts.  "Why are you trying to be a hero? On a battlefield filled with bombs and bullets, with so many senior officers gathering together, aren't they looking for death? The independent division bombers only need one bomb, and we all have to finish it. Then who will command the 15th Army?  "

    Lieutenant General Jiudao naturally didn't care about his subordinates' eyes, which were almost murderous. Suddenly, his finger suddenly clicked on the map.  "Right here, Baolong Mountain!" He looked at the Army Chief of Staff, Major General Jungkura, with red eyes, and said through gritted teeth: "Chief of Staff, send a telegram to the commander of the 36th Division, Lieutenant General Miyazaki,  The military headquarters orders your division to immediately seize the front line of Baolong Mountain and block the pursuing independent division troops. You must ensure that the main force of the army crosses the Dongliao River before you can evacuate!"

    Lieutenant General Jiudao has a good vision. Compared with the shallow, flat Horqin Sandy Land, Baolong Mountain is before crossing the Dongliao River.  The only favorable terrain that could be relied upon, although Baolong Mountain was called a mountain, was nothing more than an undulating hillock, mostly covered with bushes and spreading for dozens of kilometers. Now, it had become the life-saving straw of the 15th Army.  After giving the order, Lieutenant General Hisashima continued to run.

    After receiving the order, Lieutenant General Rongcang, commander of the 36th Division of the 15th Army, did not have much emotional fluctuations. To be honest, as an army rear guard, Lieutenant General Rongcang was closest to the pursuing independent division.  personal feelings.  It was more real than any commander. Under the yellow dust in the sky, there were hundreds of thousands of independent divisions roaring towards him. They were countless tanks. Their murderous aura seemed to be tangible, oppressing his mind and making him  All the hairs on my body stood up.

    Lieutenant General Rongcang felt this way himself, not to mention the soldiers under his command. He knew it very well.  If we continue to retreat in this manner, before reaching the Dongliao River, the 36th Division will be swallowed up by the soldiers of the Independent Division who are swept over, and not even the bones and dregs will be left.  According to his idea, he must block it no matter what. Driven by the pride and dignity of the general of the Japanese Empire, he must do the same!

    It just so happened that the order from the military headquarters came. Lieutenant General Eikura admired the vision of the army commander Lieutenant General Kushima. Baolong Mountain was only about 20 kilometers away from the location of the division. According to the current retreat,  With speed, you can quickly deploy a blocking line before the independent division's pursuing troops bite you. Although it is difficult, it is better than being chased all the way and finally being eaten bite by bite!

    Lieutenant General Rongcang immediately issued an order to the entire division amidst the sound of bomb explosions in the sky. Moreover, the content of the order was very inflammatory and impassioned. "All Imperial soldiers of the 36th Division,  We undertake a glorious and arduous mission to stop the pursuing Chinese soldiers. The time has come to serve His Majesty the Emperor and the Empire of Japan. Use the guns in your hands to show your inner bravery!"

    "Being chased and beaten by inferior Chinese soldiers is a disgrace to all the soldiers of our 36th Division and a disgrace to the samurai of the Japanese Empire! Seize the front line of Baolong Mountain as quickly as possible, and use the bodies of Yamato national samurai to  Use it as a bomb to blow up those Chinese tanks. Victory belongs to the glorious Kwantung Army and the brave and fearless soldiers of the Imperial Japan. Fight, warriors of His Majesty the Emperor!"

    Thanks to Lieutenant General Eikura's good literary talent, when the independent division army is approaching, bombs and bullets are roaring in the sky, and he may be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor at any time, he can still say such witty words. I really admire him.  tight!

    It is undeniable that after Lieutenant General Eikura¡¯s extremely inflammatory words were conveyed to all units affiliated to the division, they were very important in inspiring the Kanto people.The morale of the soldiers still plays a big role, but suddenly switching from being pursued to a defensive state cannot be done with a few words, not to mention that there is no danger at all on the Baolong Mountain front line.  Defend, but Lieutenant General Rongcang has made up his mind, determined to use the 36th Division's more than 26,000 troops to stop the surging tide!

    Major General Wu Yaoxian, commander of the 1st Tank Brigade of the Armored Forces Headquarters, commanded more than 300 tanks in the brigade, divided into three assault arrows. When the pursuit was comfortable, he suddenly received a report, "Report to the brigade commander, I am the leader.  Wei Tiezhu, commander of the tank regiment, our regiment was blocked by the Kwantung Army and lost three tanks! "

    "Block?" Wu Yaoxian's eyes flashed. He was a little strange. It had been a few hours since the attack started, and he had only seen the little Japs running away, but had never encountered a block. He looked through the observation hole and looked at the people in front of him.  situation, a long hillock appeared in front of us, and several faint explosions were heard, "Baolong Mountain!"

    Wu Yaoxian understood that the Kwantung Army must have been chased impatiently and wanted to rely on the hillock of Baolong Mountain to block the attack. "Report the details. Was the lost tank destroyed by the Kwantung Army's artillery or encountered an anti-tank mine?"  Also, what is the estimated size of the Kwantung Army force that will block it?"

    Wu Yaoxian was absolutely calm. If it was the artillery fire of the Kwantung Army that caused the vanguard regiment to lose three tanks, then the offensive tactics should be changed. Maybe the retreating Kwantung Army would have been prepared to lead its tanks into the ambush circle.  , if it is an anti-tank mine, then minesweeping tanks will be dispatched to clear it, but he believes that the Kwantung Army, which has been busy retreating before, will never be able to lay minefields in a hurry.

    "Report to the brigade commander, none of them. They are little Japanese soldiers. They are covered in explosives. They are approaching the tank unexpectedly. It is a suicide bomb! In addition, there are many such suicide bombs. The formation is prepared to avoid losses! From  From my current location, there are at least one brigade, and the situation in other directions is unknown!" Wei Tiezhu reported hurriedly.

    "Hmph!" Wu Yaoxian sneered, his eyes full of disdain, "Here he goes again, desperado!" He said to Wei Tiezhu: "Slow down the pursuit, your regiment is too far forward and is out of touch with the accompanying infantry.  , vulnerable to attack by the little devils, gather your formation and switch to a front-line offensive posture!"

    After turning off the call with Wei Tiezhu, Wu Yaoxian asked about the situation of the other two regiments. They were basically the same. They were all attacked by suicide bombs by Ghost Poison Recipe soldiers to varying degrees, and suffered varying degrees of losses. He felt enlightened and opened the  Butan contacted the channel and called: "Commander Song! I am Wu Yaoxian. We have work to do. These little devils don't want to run away. They are blocking the front line of Baolong Mountain. There are many troops. I'm afraid there is one  There are still many divisions, and I have lost more than a dozen tanks. What about Brigadier Song, can you bear it?"

    The pursuing unit following the 1st Tank Brigade of the Armored Forces Command was the 1st Brigade of the Niangziguan Garrison Corps. However, the tank brigade advanced too fast and the infantry was left behind for more than ten kilometers. Brigadier Song Guotai  Major General, when he heard Wu Yaoxian's call, he immediately became alert and said, "Commander Wu, your tank wheels are so fast that you finally managed to bite a piece of meat. That's more than a division. That's nearly 30,000 little Japanese. I'm old  Song¡¯s appetite is not that big. To be honest, if he can¡¯t eat it, I will report it to the Corps Headquarters immediately!¡±

    Yuan Jinghao of the North China Field Corps, who was sitting in an armored command vehicle and in control of the overall situation, had been in a state of excitement since the start of the offensive. The speed of the troops' pursuit was impeccable, but the result of the battle made him very dissatisfied. More than 400,000  The warriors, who were like wolves and tigers, attacked. After a few hours, they seemed to be full of momentum, but the number of enemies killed was less than a thousand, which was pitiful. In the words of Yuan Jinghao to Chief of Staff Han Guangqi, "I am embarrassed to say this to Han Guangqi."  The division commander reports that with more than 400,000 people, even if we hunt rabbits, we can still catch 1,800 rabbits, right?"

    At this moment, the telegram from Song Guotai, the commander of the First Brigade, came. Yuan Jinghao's eyes immediately started to shine, and he said to Han Guangqi excitedly: "There is something going on. This is the first piece of fat we have bitten. A division commander."  The Kwantung Army troops had more regiments, well, not too few. Song Guotai was smart and knew that one brigade could not handle nearly 30,000 Japs. The chief of staff ordered Xu Guofu's Department of the Second Brigade to immediately join forces with the First Brigade and the Tank Troops.  A brigade, we must eat this little devil, we must move quickly!¡±

    "Well! Two infantry brigades plus a tank brigade are enough to deal with one division of the Japs. Order the following 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th brigades to follow the holes they tore and abandon their treasures.  On the Longshan battlefield, continue the pursuit. On the west bank of the Dongliao River, we must capture the little Japanese retreating in the middle!"

    "Also, tell Song Guotai, Xu Guofu, and Wu Yaoxian not to beat them until they are sticky. I will only give them eight hours. They have to kill every one of the 30,000 little devils. How to fight? Let the three of them discuss it.  Let¡¯s do it!¡±
