    Being in sales is much more difficult than I thought. I'm sorry. I've been too busy recently and have been adapting to my new position.

    If you want to say which city is the busiest area in China now, there is no doubt that it must be Fengtian.

    In this all-out war with Japan, the general headquarters of the Northern Theater Command is located in Fengtian. As the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Military Region, the largest in the country, Li Jishen is naturally appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Northern Theater Command.

    To meet the needs of the war, the First Army to the Sixth Army in the northern theater are now under the direct command of Fengtian.  Now the First Army, the Third Army, the Fifth Army, and the Sixth Army have all been involved in the battle. There is still the Second Army stationed in Jinzhou, ready to reinforce at any time along the Northeast Railway to the Liaodong Peninsula.  In order to prevent the Japanese fleet from attacking the flanks of Jinzhou, a torpedo speedboat force is stationed in the Huludao area, which can conduct tactical harassment of enemies on the sea surface in the direction of Liaodong Bay and contain the activities of the enemy fleet.

    In fact, Fengtian has been under construction as a large military fortress.  As the headquarters of the Northeast Military Region, Fengtian and nearby counties and towns have built a large number of permanent military facilities.  The most eye-catching one is the country's largest field airport, which is larger than Dengzhou. It can accommodate more than twenty squadrons of Army aviation fighters during wartime.

    As the commander-in-chief of the Northern Theater Command, Li Jishen was sitting in Fengtian and personally commanding the actions of more than 500,000 troops.  The Japanese have been operating in the Northeast for many years. In order to prevent the presence of Japanese spies and assassins in Fengtian City, a heavily guarded cordon has been set up around the Northeast Military Region Headquarters where Li Jishen's headquarters is located. Unless you have a certificate specially approved by the military,  Pass order, otherwise anyone who wants to come and go freely will have to undergo garrison inspection.

    "This is not the only place that is heavily guarded. The entire Fengtian City, noeven the northeastern provinces have all entered the first level of alert.  Not only were all high schools and primary schools suspended, but even some people who were closer to the front lines and areas where war was likely to break out were evacuated to several large cities in the rear under the protection of the army.

    The entire Northeast region has now become a huge military camp. Only four hours after the war broke out, the provincial governments of the Northeast provinces issued notices and recruitment orders, intending to recruit 600,000 people in the Northeast within a week after the war broke out.  Migrant workers and 7,000 mules and horses transported supplies to the army.  Although the Great Northeast Railway Network has been constructed, the entire Northeast is still sparsely populated, and military supplies in many places cannot be met by railways alone.  The government still needs to do a lot

    The Central Committee has been very determined for many years to prepare for this war. It is to prepare for a life-and-death all-out war with Japan. China has made preparations for a long-term war.  However, according to the plan designated by the General Staff, if the frontline battle goes smoothly, the possibility of the war becoming protracted is very low. As the commander-in-chief of the Northern Theater Command, Li Jishen has a heavy responsibility. After a sneak attack kicked off the war against Japan, he himself did not think that  My own brain will be better than the plan jointly formulated by the best tactical and strategic commanders in the country from the General Staff, so I decided to launch the attack in full accordance with the original tactical plan, and only change the offensive plan when encountering situations.  .

    Now, Li Jishen and his staff members are holding the last military meeting before the war in the war room. In addition to some senior generals of the army, there are also some intelligence officers from the Ministry of Public Security and the Bureau of Investigation.  They will be responsible for assisting in providing reliable intelligence support for military offensives and strengthening local counterintelligence capabilities.  There is Manchuria in the Northeast, which has always been Japan's most coveted fat. Therefore, in the past few decades, Japan has built a vast intelligence network in the Northeast. Many key personnel are well hidden. Once Japan uses it after the war,  As a result, not only the military intelligence of the Republic of China may be leaked, but it may even affect the victory of the war and the stability of the rear.  Therefore, before the outbreak of the war, Xi'an began to dispatch a group of additional police officers and agents from the Investigation Bureau and the Ministry of Public Security to the Northeast under various names under various names. They received Li Han's personal approval. During the war,  All personnel who may have contact with Japan would rather kill three thousand by mistake than let one go.

    Such killing methods show that the central government attaches great importance to Japan.

    The content of the meeting was nothing more than to slightly revise and arrange specific combat plans based on the resistance of the Japanese troops on the Liaodong and Korean fronts. The general policy formulated by the General Staff remained unchanged.  At the same time, Li Jishen also strictly ordered the local army to assist local police agencies in strictly investigating spies, thieves and local forces serving the Japanese.

    After three o'clock in the afternoon, telegrams were sent back from various places on the front line, informing Fengtian of the specific battle conditions on the Liaodong Front and the Korean battlefield.  Li Jishen already knew the result of the sneak attack in the early morning. It was undoubtedly a brilliant victory.  The Japanese naval fleet stationed in Lushun was severely damaged and was no longer able to provide effective fire support to the Japanese Kanto Prefecture garrison in Lushun and Dalian.  At the same time, ?The bomber groups that launched air strikes also destroyed a large number of Japanese defense lines on the front lines of the Liaodong Peninsula and the Korean Peninsula. Not long after the war began, the National Defense Forces were as powerful as tigers, catching the Japanese by surprise.

    Now there are two choices before Li Jishen: The first choice is to continue to attack the Liaodong Peninsula, concentrate firepower to first destroy the Japanese 3rd and 8th divisions that are resisting in Lushun, Dalian and other places, and first eliminate the Japanese enemies in the Liaodong Peninsula.  Complete the first task assigned by the president to the Northern Theater and then wait for the opportunity; the second option is to go hand in hand, while maintaining the attack intensity on the Liaodong Peninsula front, also take into account the Korean front, storm the Japanese army on the Korean Peninsula, and strive for two fronts  flowering.

    Although the General Staff has formulated numerous strategies, it takes into account the complexity of the war.  During the war deliberations on the northern front, two plans were formulated to deal with various possible situations. Both plans have their own advantages and disadvantages.  For example, the first type can concentrate superior forces to destroy the Japanese defenders on the Liaodong Peninsula in a short period of time. However, the disadvantage is that it has to concentrate a large number of land aviation fighters and troops on the Liaodong Peninsula, which will cause the offensive on the Korean Peninsula to be frustrated and create a good situation for the Japanese.  Leave time for calm response and deployment of troops.

    "The second type is a plan formulated by some moderate factions within the General Staff.  They are based on the comparison of the national strength of China and Japan, and what they say is very clear, that is, since China and Japan go to war, they must be prepared to fight a protracted war and a war of attrition.  If Japan is the strongest country in East Asia in terms of national strength, even if the Republic of China bowed its head and rushed to catch up in the years after the Revolution of 1911, it could barely equal Japan in military industry and surpassed this country in aviation manufacturing.  In basic industries, shipbuilding, etc., the gap between China and Japan is still obvious.

    Now the choice is placed in front of Li Jishen. He needs to choose the most suitable plan from the two options as soon as possible, and then arrange it as soon as possible.

    How to make a choice?

    Li Jishen was deep in thought. After the General Staff¡¯s plan for the northern front was released, he exchanged experiences with senior officials from the Ministry of War and the General Staff.  There is no doubt that the vast majority of senior Army officials and General Staff commanders agree with the second option.  There are also big names who support the first plan. At least Li Jishen knows that the president is very much in favor of concentrating the main force to destroy the Liaodong Peninsula and regain the sovereignty of the Liaodong Peninsula.  Then concentrate our efforts to fight Japan decisively on the Korean Peninsula and gain the initiative in negotiations with Japan.

    This was undoubtedly a difficult choice, but after careful consideration, Li Jishen decided to take the first option, concentrating the Army Aviation and the main forces of the First Army and the Second Army, and by the way, calling in two soldiers from the Fourth Army that had not yet been mobilized.  Artillery brigade to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the Liaodong Peninsula in an effort to disintegrate the Japanese defense line within a week.

    The reason for making this choice was that Li Jishen and Li Han had basically the same thinking. They both still remembered that the original intention of this Sino-Japanese war was not to compete with Japan for hegemony in Northeast Asia. The first strategic purpose was actually just to regain the lost territory.  The land occupied by Japan, as well as the other heavy losses to the Japanese Army, and gaining the initiative in negotiations are only the second and third strategic goals.

    Therefore, we can only concentrate our efforts to destroy the Japanese 3rd and 8th Divisions stationed on the Liaodong Peninsula before the Japanese can react, with several times the force of the Japanese. While regaining the territory, it also makes the Japanese feel the pain.  Only in this way can we avoid the disadvantages of fighting on two fronts.

    Li Jishen made a choice quickly, and in fact, his decision was supported by Li Han.  This decision is indeed a bit risky, but the war itself is an adventure. The National Defense Forces concentrated four times the absolute superiority of the Japanese army on the Liaodong Peninsula, and mobilized hundreds of fighter planes and thousands of artillery to attack. This force with absolute superiority can  Crush usually destroys Japan's military strength in the Liaodong Peninsula within a week, which directly determines whether the entire northern battlefield and the Republic of China can always take the initiative in the war.

    After receiving the news that the First Army had begun to attack Gaizhou, Li Jishen immediately ordered the Second Army to attack Xiuyan. Xiuyan is located on the south bank of the Dayang River in the middle of the Liaodong Peninsula. Although this city is small, it has great strategic significance. According to the Qing Dynasty that year,  According to the Luda Lend-Lease Treaty signed between the Imperial Court and Russia, Xiuyan is located on the so-called "neutral zone line". The northern part of this line is controlled by China, while the southern part is controlled by Japan, although nominally Japanese troops cannot be stationed here.

    But in fact, Japan has always regarded this place as an outpost to defend the Luda leased area, and more importantly, Xiuyan is the closest strategic stronghold to the Sino-North Korean border area on the Yalu River. According to the relevant Sino-Japanese treaties, in  During peacetime, the Japanese army was not allowed to leave the "neutral zone line" and the "protection line" of the South Manchuria Railway. As a result, the railway line built by the Japanese government that started from the southern coast of Korea and ended in Shenyang would be difficult to effectively protect. Once  When war breaks out, the Chinese Army can advance into the Yalu River at any time and cut off this international railway, preventing the Japanese Army from using the railway to reinforce the Japanese troops in the Brigade Leased Area. What's even more fatal is?, the Chinese army may even use this international railway to rush to the southernmost tip of the Korean Peninsula in one go, drink in the Sea of ??Japan, and overlook the Tsushima Strait.

    Therefore, the Governor-General's Office of Kanto Prefecture in Japan has always regarded Xiuyan as a very important strategic stronghold for construction. Like Gaizhou, an infantry regiment of the Japanese Third Division is stationed here. Even because of the importance of the strategic position, here  Not only was a Japanese infantry regiment and an artillery brigade stationed there, but the Japanese also built a defensive position of more than 170 miles nearby. It was the most important defense built by Japan during the period of cold relations between China and Japan.  China's Northeastern Military Region is moving southward in a massive effort to build fortifications.

    Once the Second Army destroys the Xiuyan Defense Line and the First Army destroys Gaizhou, not only Japan's elite Third Division will be completely severely damaged, but two-thirds of Japan's so-called Jinzhou Defense Line on the Liaodong Peninsula has been destroyed.  , unable to stop the National Defense Forces from marching southward.
