    Wang Jun didn't have to wait too long, which was more than ten minutes. The reply from the master arrived. Wang Jun eagerly took the telegram, read a few lines, smiled happily, and gave Liu Chun a thumbs up.  , said with sincere admiration: "Commander Liu, you are worthy of being a senior, and you know the division commander very well!"

    Although he was the deputy commander of the North Manchuria Combat Group of the Independent Division, Wang Jun was the commander, but Liu Chun still accepted Wang Jun's compliment calmly, not because of Canada, but because of his understanding of the division commander and having followed Tang Qiuli for many years.  , fought from the Northeast to the inner pass, and then moved to Outer Mongolia. I have seen countless combat orders issued by the division commander.

    The division's order to the North Manchuria combat group did not limit the time to capture Harbin, but emphasized annihilating the enemy in the field. Liu Chun understood the division commander's intention. In addition, the situation in Harbin was different from Fengtian and Xinjing.  , the garrison strength of the Kwantung Army and the Puppet Manchukuo Army has not suffered any losses, so this battle cannot be rushed!

    In fact, Tang Qiuli's call back to Wang Jun was very simple, but it was enough to make Wang Jun feel encouraged and comforted. "I have received all the calls. It is rare for you to fully understand the division's instructions and the basic principles of fighting in Northern Manchuria.  The situation in the direction of Harbin is special and it is not advisable to rush for success. The time for ending the battle is not limited. The tactics you have adopted at present are the best plan. I hope you will continue to focus on annihilating the enemy in the wild! "

    Without the pressure to occupy Harbin within a limited time, Wang Jun suddenly felt extremely relaxed. He looked at Liu Chun and said: "Commander Liu, we should adjust our offensive deployment now. Do you have any good suggestions?"

    Liu Chun said cheerfully: "You are the commander, go ahead and do whatever you want. Come up with the charter and command the infantry in combat. I am an amateur. If you can add anything, I'm welcome!"

    Wang Jun smiled and shook his head. To be honest, when he first started working with Liu Chun, he still had some concerns. Liu Chun was a head above him in terms of qualifications, military rank and position.  He is one of the veterans who followed the division commander from the northeast to the pass. He has the rank of major general and holds the position of first-level commander of the independent division.  Are you really afraid that this senior person will put many constraints on you, and many campaign ideas will not be implemented and executed?

    But after getting along with each other for a period of time, Wang Jun¡¯s worries became clear.  Completely eliminated.  He discovered a phenomenon. All the veterans of the independent division who started up in the Northeast following their teachers had a very excellent quality, that is, they never showed off their seniority, and they were not stubborn in their own opinions. They followed the good and established themselves well.  They are all very easy to get along with, as is my boss Sun Zhenbang.  The same goes for Liu Chun, the division commander and cavalry commander!

    "Commander Liu, since the division commander's intention is to annihilate the enemies of Harbin in the wild, avoid large-scale battles, and conduct them inside the city, I have considered it this way. Change the current attack method from all sides and concentrate all the troops in one place.  direction, and then gradually reduce the investment in offensive forces and the use of heavy equipment, giving the Kwantung Army commander in Harbin the illusion that our army's military strength is not sustainable and that it is difficult to supply logistics, attracting Kwantung Army troops to constantly fight with our army!  "

    Liu Chun smiled and interjected: "Commander Wang, do you have a more ruthless back trick?"

    Wang Jun was also happy, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you. After attracting most of the main force of the Kwantung Army garrison in Harbin in one direction, at the same time, I sent a unit to use swift and violent movements to attack the back of the Kwantung Army in Tea Ceremony.  , cutting off their retreat route to the city of Harbin. In this way, the division commander's idea of ??annihilating the enemy in the wild can be realized. This force taking the retreat must be your cavalry! "

    Liu Chun thought about it carefully and said cheerfully: "Sure, leave the job of taking the back route to the cavalry troops. My opinion is that the main battlefields should be located on the Wujia and Taiping front lines in the northwest of Harbin. This way  , in the transition zone from the suburbs to the city, there will be a gap of nearly ten kilometers. More than 7,000 of my cavalry will insert along this gap to separate tens of thousands of Kwantung Army troops and puppet Manchukuo troops from the urban area of ??Harbin.  come out!"

    "Although this was a risky move. The seven thousand cavalry had to face the counterattack of tens of thousands of Japanese puppet troops, but it was the most effective. Although the division commander did not limit the time to occupy Harbin, the battle was as stinky and long as a lazy woman's foot wrap.  , I also have a dull face, right?"

    "In this way, 500 mortars, 80 recoilless rifles, 500 light machine guns, 100 heavy machine guns, and enough ammunition to last more than three days will be mobilized from various units. Damn, cavalry  We can't fight a positional blockade unless we have some capable men, so I'll take 7,000 heavy-armed cavalry and create an opportunity for our North Manchu combat group to encircle and annihilate the enemy in Harbin!"

    Liu Chun spoke very boldly, which moved Wang Jun. He knew very well how much pressure such tactics would put on the cavalry troops. Once the Kwantung Army and the Puppet Manchukuo Army, which were fighting the main force of the group in the wild, found out,  If the way back is cut off, there will inevitably be a crazy counterattack. The cavalry is not good at positional warfare.Law.

    If there are other ways to complete the scheduled combat mission, Wang Jun will not let the cavalry troops bear the pressure. For example, taking advantage of the rapid speed of the mechanized troops, using tanks and self-propelled artillery, soldiers riding in vehicles and quickly interspersing, will  Do it more neatly than the cavalry!

    But there is one biggest drawback. The Japanese and puppet troops in Harbin will not leave the city too far. A large-scale mechanized force operation with a huge momentum is bound to alert the Kwantung Army. If they find something wrong, they will immediately retreat into the city.  District, it may be impossible to lure him out again!

    As long as ten thousand or even thousands of Kwantung Army soldiers retreat to the urban area, the battlefield will inevitably take place in the urban area. Wang Jun never wants to see such a result.

    Only cavalry units that are more mobile and flexible than mechanized units but are more concealed and faster can complete such a task and achieve unexpected results. "Commander Liu, there is no problem at all in strengthening the equipment of the cavalry units.  In addition, I will also contact the aviation unit to provide air fire support to the cavalry!" Wang Jun held Liu Chun's hand tightly and said sincerely.

    Liu Chun laughed, "Commander Wang, if you have a capable guy, it's no problem to fight a positional battle. I will personally direct the cavalry troops to intersperse. It's so damn happy to be able to take the kid's retreat!"

    The Independent Division troops besieging Harbin suddenly withdrew from three directions and concentrated all their forces in the northwest. For several days, they bombarded the Kwantung Army soldiers and the puppet Manchukuo soldiers with heavy artillery, which made them complain incessantly.  The tanks that daunted them and had to sacrifice their lives to replace them also lost their former majesty and showed a tendency to be weak. This caused the Kwantung Army's top commander in Harbin, Major General Shinichiro Kobayashi, commander of the Harbin Military Police, to have an illusion.  .

    Major General Kobayashi believes that the Harbin battlefield is quite far away from the battlefield in western Manchuria. This independent division that suddenly appeared in northern Manchuria should have been alone. It does not have an absolute advantage in strength. Between the Kwantung Army and the Manchurian Army  After several days of stubborn resistance, they have lost their offensive spirit. The most important thing is that there are difficulties in logistical supplies. Otherwise, why would there not be so many heavy artillery and tanks left unused?

    Major General Kobayashi's conclusion was also the fault of General Nanjiro, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army. Faced with the irreversible situation in the Manchurian war, General Nanjiro issued an order to resist until death, and for the defeats on various battlefields,  , especially when the main force of the Kwantung Army in western Manchuria and western Liaoning was about to be wiped out, a strict blockade was imposed on all Kwantung Army commanders fighting in isolation.

    In other words, the current Major General Kobayashi Shinichiro does not know that in the Nuruerhu Mountains in Western Manchuria, the more than 400,000 Kwantung Army has been surrounded by the troops of the Western Manchuria Theater of the Independent Division and is destined to collapse.  , it is inevitable that the more than 500,000 Kwantung Army soldiers on the battlefield in western Liaoning are already in danger, and Xinjing and Fengtian are even more precarious and will be captured by the independent division troops at any time!

    Perhaps General Nanjiro did this because he did not want the bad news of defeats on these battlefields to affect the morale of the Kwantung Army soldiers who were still fighting tenaciously in various places.  , the commanders at all levels of the Kwantung Army who commanded operations, suffered from the consequences of lack of information, and Major General Xiaolin was one of the victims!

    The battles in the next few days seemed to confirm Major General Kobayashi's judgment. The troops were concentrated in the independent division northwest of Harbin. The momentum of the offensive was significantly weakened. The frequency of heavy artillery and tanks was also significantly reduced. Kwantung Army soldiers  The pressure on the soldiers of the puppet Manchukuo army was suddenly greatly reduced. On several occasions, even positions that in Major General Xiaolin's opinion were inevitably undefendable were not broken through.

    The change in the battlefield situation has undoubtedly played a role in boosting morale for the soldiers of the Kwantung Army and the Puppet Manchukuo Army who have been beaten and complained in the past few days. Major General Xiaolin is even more confident, even if he cannot repel or severely damage this army.  It is not a problem for the independent division troops to defend Harbin!

    But Major General Xiaolin had enough cunning and promotion. In the following battle, he chose several secondary defensive directions and organized several small-scale counterattacks. The number of troops dispatched was no more than one Kwantung Army soldier and a Manchurian Army soldier.  , the size of the mixed regiment consisted of thousands of people. Although the success was not high, it strengthened his judgment. Ever since the war broke out in Harbin, it had been suppressed by the independent division troops and was in a defensive state.

    After holding on for a few days, local counterattacks could be carried out. The situation on the battlefield had reversed in a direction favorable to the Kwantung Army. Coupled with the unprecedented increase in the morale of the soldiers, Major General Kobayashi decided to carry out a larger-scale and larger  Counterattacks from different directions gradually pushed the battlefield away from the suburbs of Harbin.

    Major General Xiaolin turned his determination into the actions of his troops. In the next few days, the independent divisionBetween the troops of the Manchu Combat Group and the Kwantung Army's Harbin defense forces, both sides were attacking and defending each other. As they advanced and retreated, the battlefield gradually approached the Wujia and Taiping areas.
