    Coupled with the fact that Chen Hanzhang was almost helpless when he was holding Molotov cocktails or being covered with grenades and trying to burrow into the tanks with meat bombs from time to time.  The firepower of the rifle machine gun restricted the movement of the infantry.

    The movement of the infantry was quite restricted. It was impossible to remove the anti-tank mines that were the greatest threat to tanks. It was also impossible to erect and open passages for tanks to pass through anti-tank trenches. It was also impossible to provide infantry cover for tanks during combat and to clear out Japanese tanks.  missiles and anti-tank artillery.

    Especially those Sanqi flat-fire cannons and rapid-fire cannons that are ambushing on the other side of the anti-tank trench, waiting for the tank to expose its chassis with the worst defensive performance so that they can take advantage of the opportunity to attack. Therefore, these anti-tank cannons, along with those crazy meat bombs, are still needed.  The infantry went to clean it up.

    Tanks that cannot pass through minefields and anti-tank trenches, in turn, cannot provide cover for the infantry. They can only provide close fire support for the infantry outside the Japanese minefields and on the other side of the anti-tank trenches. In this case,  Under such circumstances, it is strange that the attack speed of the troops can be faster, especially when the number of infantry responsible for the attack is insufficient.

    But even though there are many objective reasons for the delay of the battle, as Guo Bingxun judged, for a person with a strong self-esteem like Chen Hanzhang, he cannot do anything like complaining to his superiors, even if he has a strong bone.  He will also use his teeth to nibble bits and pieces.

    Fortunately, although the progress has been slower and the casualties have been higher, especially the consumption of artillery shells has far exceeded expectations, the troops have now taken the Bayantala line. Here, the Japanese army used countless reinforced concrete and trenches to form a triangle.  A hole was made in the hard walnut.

    The most critical thing is that the main force of the 18th Division that caught up later has recovered its strength after two days of rest and took over the main force of the 3rd Division that was transferred to the Kailu direction, and replaced the 3rd Division that suffered heavy losses in the battle of Bayantala.  The Eighth Regiment has forcibly crossed the Xiliao River under the cover of artillery, and the Motorized Infantry Regiment of the Armored Brigade has, with the cooperation of two tank battalions, cut off the road connection between Kailu and Tongliao.

    The cavalry brigade took advantage of its low logistical dependence and flexible mobility to bypass the Japanese fortification area in Tongliao. After capturing Shuangliao, it entered the Horqin Sandy Land south of Shuangliao and cut off the Datong railway line. As long as it captured the adjacent Afghan  In Kailu of Luhorqin Banner, the entire Tongliao battlefield is completely connected with the Linxi battlefield.

    Although the goal is already close at hand, it is still unknown for Chen Hanzhang when it will be finally completed. Taking the Bayantala line is just a breakthrough of the entire Japanese army located on both sides of the Liao River in the west, starting from Kailu in the west and Kailu in the east.  Go to a corner of the fortification area at the intersection of the West Liao River and the East Liao River.

    When can he truly capture Kailu and form a pincer offensive with Linxi's Wang Guangyu's troops, or move eastward to the front lines of Changtu and Kangping, will he be able to truly achieve his strategic goal. As for now,  In Chen Hanzhang's view, it was only the first step in completing the entire strategic intention.

    Putting down the telegram in his hand, Chen Hanzhang's face looked quite solemn. He was aware of the telegram sent by Wang Guangyu before, but he did not expect that the progress on his side was so great. Compared with his own progress now,  It is too slow. This is not a matter of competitiveness, but a key issue related to the entire Western Manchuria war situation.

    Chen Hanzhang walked to the observation port, raised his telescope and looked at the troops of the 18th Division who were forcibly crossing the Xiliao River. He was silent for a long time and said to Liu Yanlai, Chief of Staff of the Armored Forces, and Wang Jun, Commander of the 18th Division: "Your 18th Division must speed up.  The speed of action means that both regiments must cross the Xiliao River before midnight tonight. They are equipped with the fourth armored battalion, the brigade armored teaching company, and an armored vehicle platoon to seize Shuangpaozi and Kongjiawo Fort in the northwest of Tongliao, forming a pincer for Tongliao County.  offensive."

    "Order the second battalion of the armored brigade and the second teaching company, plus the armored brigade's motorized infantry regiment, the brigade's two companies of the self-propelled artillery battalion, and a 122 rocket launcher company to concentrate their forces to seize Zhanggutai, Sankeshu, Guanyin  No. 1 line, firmly cutting off the connection between Tongliao and Kailu. "

    "Whether the Japanese army in Tongliao is moving toward Kailu, or the Japanese army in Kailu is moving closer to Tongliao, they will nail it there like nails. At the same time, two infantry battalions will be assigned to a tank company along the way.  Along the highway from Tongliao to Kailu, we cooperated with the Kailu frontal attack troops and launched an attack in the direction of Kailu County."

    "Order the seventh regiment of the third division and a strengthened battalion of the eighth regiment to shrink, together with the first battalion and the third battalion of the armored brigade and a tank company, to change direction and attack in the direction of Kailu. The connection between Kailu and Naiman Banner must be cut off tomorrow morning.  , and concentrate their forces to form an encirclement situation around Kailu County. All units must concentrate engineers to clear anti-tank mines, open up anti-tank trenches and create channels for tank troops to operate. "

    &nbsp"I don't care whether they concentrate artillery bombardment or use continuous blasting by engineers. Those hateful earth walls in front of the Japanese anti-tank trenches must be cleared away, otherwise these earth walls will still have Japanese anti-tank firepower hiding on the opposite side."  , It¡¯s really too much of a threat to the armored forces.¡±

    "Order the cavalry brigade to leave some troops to guard the rear, and the main force to immediately go north to cooperate with the 18th Division's attack on the Tongliao front line. Order the 9th Regiment of the 3rd Shuangliao Division to strengthen one battalion of the 52nd Regiment of the 18th Division, and the 3rd Armored Division  One company of the battalion, one mountain artillery company of the 18th Division Artillery Regiment, one 100mm howitzer company, and one 107 rocket launcher company immediately seized the time to repair the fortifications and prepare to block the Japanese reinforcements east of Shuangliao."

    "Tell the head of the ninth regiment and the political commissar that if Japanese reinforcements appear in the area east of Shuangliao, stop them at all costs. Even if their entire regiment is wiped out, they will not be able to allow Japanese reinforcements to enter Tongliao. Tell them that they will stop them at all costs.  No matter how many Japanese reinforcements come, they must hold on. Even if a division comes, they must not take a step back. "

    "All units must arrive at their designated positions before seven o'clock tomorrow morning. At ten o'clock in the morning, they will launch a general attack on Tongliao and Kailu at the same time. All units must control the rhythm of their respective units' attacks and do not get carried away.  He will fight and charge regardless."

    "We must warn the troops not to compete with the Japanese troops one after another, let alone to push forward in a straight line. The little devils have built such a dense group of fortifications in this triangle area. If we attack them one by one, it will not be possible even if it freezes.  Able to reach the edge of the county seat.¡±

    "All troops must dare to ignore the threat of enemy forces in the rear during the attack, put aside the enemy forces on both wings and concentrate the main force to penetrate directly into the two counties. Our infantry firepower is absolutely superior to the Japanese army, and there are tanks to cooperate in all aspects of operations. The Japanese army wants to cut off  Our army's retreat is not that easy. If the Japanese army really digs out their mouse hole, it will save us a lot of trouble. "

    "When conducting offensive operations, we must learn from the lessons learned some time ago. Each unit must distribute recoilless rifles, rocket launchers, and 12mm anti-aircraft machine guns to each company, and ensure that each platoon has a recoilless rifle or rocket launcher.  , a fire support team composed of anti-aircraft machine guns. The regiment's 14mm machine guns were strengthened to the company. Each infantry company must ensure at least one. If it was really insufficient, the 23mm anti-aircraft guns of the division's anti-aircraft artillery battalion were also strengthened.  Infantry company."

    "The tactics of four groups and one team that we usually train are not necessarily used in urban battles. In such a situation where the density of Japanese military fortifications is so high, it cannot be used. Why, in such a situation?  There will be no fighting if the war is over.¡±

    "The previous offensive was slow. In addition to the reasons for the Japanese army, many reasons were due to our own tactics being too rigid. Don't always look for objective reasons, let alone put all the blame on the Japanese army. The progress is not smooth. First of all, we must  Start with ourselves.¡±

    "Didn't we fight very well when we broke through the Songhua River? Didn't the multiple arms cooperate with each other in a tacit understanding? All kinds of tactics were used well. Why didn't we arrive at the battlefields of Tongliao and Kailu, where the battlefield conditions were much better?  The tactics are used, and there are armored brigades. If there are more anti-tank trenches, there will be no fighting, and the usual training will be thrown away. "

    "The self-propelled artillery battalions, self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery battalions, as well as the mechanized infantry regiments and engineer battalions assigned to them will fight in the field with the Japanese army. Who told them that the anti-aircraft artillery battalions can only defend against the air. In order not to use anti-aircraft guns  With the advantages of long range and strong penetration, it can carry out fire strikes on Japanese military fortifications from a long distance.¡±

    "How to fight tough battles and how to break through have been practiced many times. When they arrived in Tongliao, they were trapped by several anti-tank trenches and anti-tank mines. They still only learned how to attack in groups and how to cooperate with infantry tactics.  It¡¯s gone to the back of my head, wouldn¡¯t it become a big joke if I said this?¡±

    "We can't delay any longer, and we don't have time to fight steadily with the Japanese army. If the delay is too long, it will affect the implementation of the entire combat plan of the headquarters. The content of the telegram sent on the 3rd, you will also know.  You see, this is a disguised warning that we must speed up.¡±

    "There is no other way. At this time, we can only adopt the tactic of forcibly inserting into the heart of the enemy. We will first capture two counties, disintegrate the enemy's command system, cut off their supply sources, and then turn around and eliminate them one by one behind them.  The remaining enemy forces are certainly risky, but we can end the battle as quickly as possible.¡±

    After thinking about it, Chen Hanzhang said to Liu Yan: "You can find a way to allocate a batch of flamethrowers to the main attack force, and try to equip each main attack group with as many as possible to deal with these Japanese troops who love to dig holes. That thing  It¡¯s the best. Since they built the kennel thicker than the city wall, let¡¯s burn them out.¡±Hearing that Chen Hanzhang wanted to mobilize a batch of flamethrowers, Liu Yanlai frowned: "Commander, according to the weapons and equipment organization of our army, the number of flamethrowers is relatively small. Even for an old unit like the Third Division, one  One chemical defense company in the division was equipped with twelve flamethrowers, and the 18th Division was a later division, and the number was even smaller, with only six flamethrowers in total. "

    "Of the twelve flamethrowers of the Third Division, five of them were left behind and were not carried. According to this number, even if the heavy flamethrowers that are not suitable for infantry use are included, the average of the four main attack regiments is only  It can be divided into three parts. The most critical thing is the thickened gasoline used in the flamethrower. The quantity we have on hand is insufficient and we can only guarantee the full use of four of them.¡±

    "It's okay to say that the Japanese army has fortifications outside the city, but now we find that they have also built a large number of fortifications in villages and market towns. These fortifications are connected to the residential buildings in villages and market towns. We don't even dare to use artillery. What if  If you spray it with a flamethrower, the people here will be dead, as well as the two counties of Kailu and Tongliao. Not all of them are Japanese. "
