    Hearing what Zhao Yuhe, chief of staff of the division and acting commander of the directly affiliated corps, said, Sun Zhenbang's eyes lit up at that time, and he secretly shouted in his heart: "Good things happen one after another! See what Chief of Staff Zhao means, Baoge Dashan  I have to take care of the little devils in the direction! It¡¯s great to have a bite before heading south!¡±

    It turned out that Sun Zhenbang, the commander of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, was clever and took advantage of the Kwantung Army's border garrison to break out of the encirclement in Outer Mongolia. He left five infantry brigades and their artillery, as well as two tank brigades, to participate in the interception.  The remaining troops of the Kwantung Army fought with the intention of taking one bite at a time. He also knew that it was impossible for Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe to order the troops of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps who had to go south to withdraw at this time!

    Therefore, this advantage has been taken. There are more than 200,000 troops going south, leaving more than 80,000 troops to participate in the final encirclement battle. As the second batch of troops, they will transfer to the direction of Aershan and take the remaining troops with them.  Eight brigades, as the first batch of troops to carry out the mission to the south, this is called no delay, the orders are carried out as usual, and the meat is eaten as expected. Sun Zhenbang is quite proud of this method.

    Regarding the commander's actions, Colonel Wang Jun, chief of staff of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, gave this evaluation: "Begging for nothing and stalking!" However, he added at the end, "Our Corps takes the lion's share of the money."  It¡¯s worth it!¡±

    Zhao Yuhe understood Sun Zhenbang's thoughts. The Kwantung Army's border garrison broke out into Outer Mongolia, which indeed created an opportunity for Sun Zhenbang to annihilate the enemy, and it was reasonable for him to take advantage. According to preliminary statistics from Wu Zhengmin, acting chief of staff of the directly affiliated corps.  After the fifteen brigades directly under the corps attacked across the board, so far.  The results achieved are probably less than half of those of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps!

    Sun Zhenbang was so happy that he grinned from ear to ear. "How many little devils are there?" he asked.

    "About 14,000 to 5,000 people! They are probably the suspected soldiers of the Kwantung Army commander! They are trying to distract us!" Zhao Yuhe replied.

    "How much? It's only fourteen or five thousand, it's boring!" Sun Zhenbang was discouraged.

    Zhao Yu became happy and said: "Commander Sun, don't be greedy. Originally, that was the combat range of the directly affiliated corps. If you don't like it, then I will order the nearby troops of the directly affiliated corps to take care of it! No delay.  You went south!"

    "Don't! Don't! Chief of Staff Zhao, I was just kidding. No matter how small a grasshopper is, it is still meat! I will help you solve it. Okay, let's say goodbye!" Sun Zhenbang shouted hurriedly.  After a hasty salute, he got into the armored command vehicle and left in a hurry.

    On the battlefield, two troops passed each other, one heading north and the other heading southeast.  Hundreds of thousands of people passed through the battlefield. What a huge formation. Zhao Yuhe sat on the armored command vehicle and said to Wu Zhengmin: "Chief of Staff, send a telegram to the division commander immediately. The first phase of the Northeast Border Battle has gone smoothly.  It¡¯s over. The remaining Kwantung Army border guards are about to be surrounded in the area from Haleg to Menghehan in Outer Mongolia!¡±

    "Sun Zhenbang, commander of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, has led eight brigades of leading troops to the direction of Aershan. So far, the campaign plan has been implemented smoothly. It is estimated that it will take three to five days to completely annihilate the remaining Kwantung Army garrison!"

    This is the actual situation on the battlefield on the northeastern border. The Kwantung Army border garrison has been defeated, but it has not escaped from the huge encirclement. The next step is the annihilation battle after the encirclement. Zhao Yuhe ordered the Outer Mongolia Field Corps to Sun Zhenbang.  The troops in Ulan Nur and Halzan retreated dozens of kilometers, established a blocking line from Halegh to Menghehan with favorable terrain conditions, and then sent additional troops. I admire them very much.

    The biggest advantage of doing this is that it can avoid fighting with the Kwantung Army soldiers on a battlefield with a radius of hundreds of square kilometers, not only delaying the end of the battle, but also increasing the casualties of the soldiers. It is appropriate to retreat the troops.  The commander of the Kwantung Army felt that after breaking through the encirclement, the Kwantung Army soldiers would gather together to facilitate encirclement and annihilation, which was equivalent to reducing the scope of the encirclement. "This Sun Zhenbang is really not easy!" he thought with a smile.  .

    In the areas of Haleg and Menghehan in Outer Mongolia, the scorching sun mercilessly scorched the desolate Gobi Desert, scorching the physically and mentally exhausted Kwantung Army officers and soldiers. Everyone was as if their heads were droopy under the scorching sun.  It was like a low plant, with a lack of energy from the inside out. The work of counting the soldiers and weapons and equipment ended as quickly as possible. Osaka Watanabe, the chief of staff of the garrison, greeted the commander Yoshinaga, who was walking like the soldiers.  Lieutenant General.

    At this moment, Colonel Watanabe's face was ashen, and the July sunshine in the Gobi Desert could not dispel the chill in his heart. The statistical results were, how should I put it, so miserable that he did not even dare to report it to Commander Yoshinaga.

    After walking in silence for a few minutes, Lieutenant General Yoshinaga saw that Colonel Watanabe was not speaking. He already guessed something in his mind. He stopped and turned his head, his faceHe asked blankly: "Chief of Staff Watanabe, are the statistical results out? Tell me, I can accept any result!"

    Chief of Staff Watanabe moved his lips a few times, and his voice was so dry that there was no moisture at all. "Commander, the statistics show that there are currently only more than 90,000 troops that have broken out, and most of them are incompletely organized troops. Among them,  , there are more than 20,000 wounded soldiers, and the situation of weapons and equipment is not optimistic. We have lost all the artillery and tanks, and the heavy equipment now is only some mortars and heavy machine guns! "

    "Moreover, the supplies we brought out can only last for about a week, and the ammunition can also support a medium-sized battle. The most lacking thing now is drinking water. In such hot weather, the lack of water is the biggest problem for the soldiers.  Thousands of enemy soldiers have died from thirst! Moreover, the large number of wounded soldiers has seriously slowed down the marching speed of the troops. What I am worried about is that the independent division troops will catch up soon! "

    Colonel Watanabe's voice was even crying. It's no wonder he looked like this. The Kwantung Army's northwest Manchuria border garrison had a full strength of 170,000 people. However, after a few hours of breakout fighting, the losses were almost more than  Half of them, among the soldiers who broke out, there were more than 20,000 wounded. How many soldiers could survive in the climate conditions of the Gobi Desert in Outer Mongolia?

    The wounded soldiers slow down the marching speed of the troops. Once the independent division troops catch up, they will definitely catch up. Then, the remaining troops will also be gradually eaten up. Although it seems that the breakout is successful, the greater crisis is,  Still behind, if no water source is found, tens of thousands of imperial soldiers will die of thirst in the desolate Gobi Desert!

    "Hahaha!" Lieutenant General Yoshinaga suddenly sneered nervously, his voice was sinister and hoarse, which frightened Chief of Staff Watanabe. He thought that the commander could not bear such a huge loss and that he had gone insane?

    "I, Yoshinaga, still have more than 90,000 imperial soldiers who can fight. Okay, it's much better than I expected. Watanabe-kun, don't make a fuss. You know, according to the independent division's artillery and tanks, as well as the attack  The number of our soldiers, after a big battle and the breakout, my bottom line is that if the Kwantung Army Border Guards can get out 50,000 people alive, they will be very satisfied!"

    "Now, we still have more than 90,000 people, and that China devil Tang Qiuli, the main force in Outer Mongolia, the Sun Zhenbang Corps, has begun to go south to break through the independent first garrison commander Sano Jun in the direction of Baogda Mountain.  A telegram has just been sent. Behind him, there are at least nearly 100,000 soldiers of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps of the Independent Division pursuing him. In other words, when we turn to the far east, there are almost no independent division troops in Outer Mongolia that can stop us.  !¡±

    "From here to His Royal Highness Prince Zain's Far East Expeditionary Force, the road is smooth! There is no unstoppable road, Watanabe-kun, don't you think I should be happy?" Seeing the panic on Colonel Watanabe's face, Yoshinaga Jungaka  Jiang said extremely excitedly, with a sickly flush on his face, which was not normal at all!

    Chief of Staff Watanabe was not happy, and he could not understand that he had lost nearly half of his troops and almost lost all his capital. Nearly 80,000 imperial soldiers would always fall on the Manchurian border. Commander Yoshinaga  You will still be happy. Could it be that your Excellency the Commander was severely stimulated and his mind went crazy, but it didn¡¯t look like it!

    Seeing that Chief of Staff Watanabe was not happy, Lieutenant General Yoshinaga was somewhat disappointed and continued: "As for the problem of the more than 20,000 wounded soldiers, it can be easily solved. The wounded soldiers will be temporarily organized into groups, and one of the wounded officers will be assigned a rank.  The highest officer, serving as the commander, left them with water and enough ammunition for a day, and then completely built fortifications, responsible for blocking the pursuing independent division troops! "

    "My requirements are not high. I only hope that these Imperial soldiers with battle wounds can stop the pursuing independent division troops for more than two days. I also believe that if the soldiers of the Japanese Empire have the courage and ability, they will  I will use my broken jade to prove my loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor and the Empire of Japan, and I will also give more companions a chance to survive and die a worthy death! Please arrange this matter, Mr. Watanabe!¡±

    Colonel Watanabe stared with horrified eyes, looking at Lieutenant General Yoshinaga's big mouth as if he didn't recognize him. There were more than 20,000 wounded soldiers, hundreds of thousands of independent soldiers equipped with a large number of tanks, and thousands of large-caliber artillery.  If the division troops still have more than two days, it will send them to a dead end, which will cost the lives of more than 20,000 imperial soldiers!  It was such a ruthless plan and extremely vicious idea that Colonel Watanabe shuddered and even shuddered under the scorching sun.

    Seeing the panic on Colonel Watanabe's face, as if he was frightened by his decision, Lieutenant General Yoshinaga felt disgusted. He had served as Chief of Staff under him for more than a year. Why didn't he realize that Watanabe was a coward?  man of?

    ¡°Watanabe-kun, what do you think about my decision just now?Do you have any opinions?  Lieutenant General Yoshinaga asked grimly.

    Chief of Staff Watanabe¡¯s heart was trembling. How could he dare to express any objections? He lowered his head and said, ¡°Your Excellency, Commander, the Ministry will resolutely implement your orders!¡±

    "Then go quickly!" Lieutenant General Yoshinaga didn't want to talk nonsense to him.
