    Originally, Jiujin Qianping wanted to stop quickly by doing this. He believed that although he had weakened the defense force between Jianping County and Ye Baishou and Chaoyang, as long as he acted quickly, he could use his forward position of Sidaoyingzi Mountain close to Xinjiang.  Hui County has the advantage of being the first to attack where it must be saved.  And with enough troops at the point, the enemy cannot take advantage of this short blank period.

    Although he also thought that the no-man's land created by the Kwantung Army last year would bring concealment to his opponent's actions.  But he did not expect that his opponent would move faster than him. Just as he was shrinking his troops, Lee Myung-bak's troops, who acted first, had begun to secretly penetrate the two wings of Jianping.

    In fact, if it hadn¡¯t been for Lee Myung-bak¡¯s repeated orders from his superiors to adopt a defensive posture in the Redong area.  Lieutenant General Wushijin Seohei's deployment of a combination of lightness at the front and emphasis at the back has long made Lee Myung-bak's hands itchy.  This combat operation has been considered many times in his mind.  His troops have always maintained first-level combat readiness.

    ¡°If it weren¡¯t for the repeated orders from his superiors and the fact that most of the troops under his command had been transferred away, and the position he held was too important, he would have punched him out long ago.  With his habit of being a militant, how could Jiujin Qianping be so comfortable in Liaoxi and Redong?  He doesn't have enough troops to fight with large armies, so he can't afford it.  He still has the capital to fight a division-level battle.

    As soon as he received the order from the headquarters, he finally started to take action after finally waiting for the order from his superiors.  Within a day and a half, the troops secretly set off in batches organized into battalions and companies, concentrating as they marched.  Within a day and a half, the entire army secretly arrived at the attack starting area and completed its assembly at the same time.

    This is much faster than the three days it took the Japanese army to shrink and gather its forces.  Moreover, the method of marching in batches and secretly mobilizing and assembling was adopted, which also increased the need for concealment.  Using battalions and companies as organizational arrangements, even if the Japanese army discovered it, they would at most think that he was adjusting their deployment.

    Although he also knew that doing so would leave a lot of gaps in the defense.  But his thoughts were similar to Lieutenant General Washizu Seppei.  He believed that as long as he acted quickly, concentrated his forces and defeated the Japanese army first, and took the initiative on the battlefield into his own hands, the Japanese army opposite him would not be able to cause much trouble.

    ¡°And after the battlefields around Fengtian started, Lee Myung-bak was even more confident.  Judging from the situation around Fengtian, even after his actions are launched, a large number of gaps will be left behind, and the remaining troops in his hands can only stick to the three points of Xinhui, Ningcheng, and Pingquan.

    ¡°But as long as we start from Jianping to Yebaishou before the Japanese army mobilizes enough troops to advance westward, we will leave a large number of Japanese defense forces behind us on the Fuxin line. If we want to take advantage of the situation, we may not have the ability to do so.  Unless he really doesn't want Fuxin, Beipiao, or even Montenegro.

    It is true that he does not have many troops in his hands, but the Japanese army in front of him only has the strength of two divisions.  In addition, he still has to protect his own butt. Even if Washizu Senpei finds that his defense line has exposed a lot of gaps, how many troops can he invest in counterattack?

    If Washijin Seppei had enough troops, he wouldn't have put up such a weird defensive formation.  According to his self-righteous defensive formation, even if he had half a division of troops on hand, the two supporting points of Sidaoyingzi and Jianping City would have been taken down by him long ago.

    Take off the front of Jianping and Sidao Yingzi to control the entire Nuruer Tiger Mountain in his hands. The striker entered the Jinjin Railway, threatening the Beining Railway, and he had to jump off the building.  It's a pity that the troops on hand are more than enough to protect themselves, but not enough to attack. Even if they reluctantly launch an attack, they have no ability to sustain attacks.

    Nowadays, everyone is half a catty in the number of troops.  He didn't have enough troops, and his brother's troops had already appeared behind him.  Unless they give up their butts, they simply won't be able to muster enough troops to threaten them.

    This is also the main reason why he didn't care at all about the Japanese attack on Xinhui after the battle started.  He believed that as long as his troops moving south could ensure concealment and move quickly enough after the battle started, there would be no suspense about the outcome of the battle.

    From the facts, he did do this.  His two intersecting troops arrived at the designated location, and the Japanese army was not aware of it.  Especially the troops setting up an ambush in the northwest of Jianping County, even though they were placed between Sidaoyingzi Mountain and Jianping County, the Japanese troops at the two points were not aware of it.

    In order to avoid the Japanese outposts and security strongholds, the routes he chose for his troops were too hidden. Many routes were even chosen through the steepest and precipitous parts of the Nuruerhu Mountains.  It was a bit hard to move through the troops, and they could only take the mountain trails.  In many cases, the artillery can only be disassembled from the upper shoulder.

    forCarry as much ammunition as possible. All cadres and soldiers, almost everyone, while carrying their own weapons and ammunition, also need to carry two artillery shells.  But compared to the sacrifices on the battlefield, this hard work is nothing to the anti-alliance cadres and soldiers.  Although the troops were exhausted by doing this, it also ensured maximum concealment of the insertion.

    On this point, the Japanese army did very poorly.  Although its actions were quite covert, the Anti-Union could not get the information, and so did they.  As soon as the plainclothes reconnaissance team attached to it, the so-called Iron Man troops, entered the mountainous area northeast of Jianping, some people began to escape in the name of plainclothes reconnaissance and stragglers.

    Only one day after setting off, two-thirds of these people had already traveled.  Even though the Japanese troops were weaving in and out, some of them were captured and killed directly with bayonets.  But in the end, these guys took advantage of the familiar terrain and ran away a lot.  Several people were directly captured by the security and reconnaissance teams sent by Lee Myung-bak.

    There is no other way. In this uninhabited mountainous area with a radius of nearly a hundred square kilometers, a few farmers or hunters suddenly appear. Even a fool knows what they do.  Besides Japanese spies, who else could be there?  Whether these people are deserters or something else is not important to the Anti-Japanese Alliance.

    When it was learned that two infantry brigades of the Japanese army, attached to the iron and stone troops of the puppet Manchukuo army that had fled from Rehe, were secretly moving between Xinhui and Jianping, trying to ambush their own troops to reinforce Xinhui.  Lee Myung-bak did not completely change the original deployment.  The original plan to attack Jianping remained unchanged. He just withdrew his ambush troops to the area where the Japanese army was preparing to ambush him.  Take advantage of the terrain there to catch the Japanese army by surprise.

    But although Lee Myung-bak's reaction was quick, the actions of Jiujin Chunping opposite him were not slow either.  Just when his troops arrived at the location where the Japanese ambush was set up, they happened to encounter the Japanese troops who were rushing over to set up an ambush for the Anti-Japanese Alliance.  They originally planned to encircle the two armies for reinforcements and ambush each other, but their original plans fell through.

    At first, the leading troops of the two armies met unexpectedly and fought fiercely. As time passed and follow-up troops arrived, more and more troops were invested.  This encounter, in which the wishes of both sides failed, eventually turned into a melee and chaos.

    The frontline commanders on both sides tried to adjust their deployment and penetrate behind the enemy's troops in order to disrupt the enemy's position in front of them.  But no matter how the adjustment was made, under the relatively messy mountainous terrain, the forces invested by the two sides were tightly integrated.  No one can get rid of anyone, they can only fight in this way.

    The overall positional situation of both sides is not based on the overall offensive or defensive position.  It is decided based on the order in which follow-up troops from both sides arrive.  First, after an encounter between a vanguard squad of the Anti-Japanese Army and a search team of the Japanese army, they fought without hesitation.

    Immediately afterwards, a leading company of the Anti-Japanese Alliance and an infantry squadron of the Japanese vanguard arrived, and each quickly participated.  Immediately afterwards, the Japanese army used two infantry squadrons, a search squadron, and a battalion of the Iron and Stone Forces of the puppet Manchukuo Army as the vanguard. They relied on their strength to gain the upper hand and surrounded the vanguard of the two companies of the Anti-Japanese Alliance.

    A battalion of the Anti-Japanese Alliance arrived immediately, and after defeating a battalion of the Tieshi Army, they and the two companies surrounded by the Japanese army launched a front-to-back pincer attack on the three squadrons of the Japanese army.  Then the main forces from both sides arrived and started fighting.  The two armies are me and you, and we are fighting together.

    Although the focus of the attack was first on the front-line anti-alliance troops on the puppet Manchukuo army, they quickly and violently launched an offensive and took the lead in defeating the two regiments of the so-called iron and stone troops that cooperated with the Japanese army.  He killed his commander, Japanese Puppet Manchukuo Army Major General Awano Shigeyoshi, who was personally commanding the front line, and captured the commander of the 37th Infantry Regiment, Japanese Puppet Manchukuo Army Colonel Minami Seiichi.

    ¡°However, the Japanese army, which was not slow at all, under the cover of this puppet Manchukuo army, took the lead in seizing the commanding heights around the battlefield, which was a threat to the joint forces participating in the war.  Although the deputy commander of the Mountain Division commanded by the anti-alliance front line repeatedly concentrated his forces in an attempt to seize the commanding heights, he was entangled by other Japanese troops and failed due to the desperate resistance of the Japanese troops on the mountain.

    After failing to seize the commanding heights in a short period of time, the front-line commanders immediately changed their deployment under the order of Lee Myung-bak.  The troops were concentrated and deployed along the ridge line. Only one battalion of the advancing army was used to contain the remaining infantry brigade of the so-called iron and stone troops of the puppet Manchukuo army participating in the war.  The remaining forces were concentrated on the two Japanese brigades.

    First defeat these two Japanese brigade, and then concentrate the forces to deal with the puppet Manchukuo army, which has low morale and will collapse in a single attack.  In this battle, the combat effectiveness and morale of this puppet Manchukuo army, known as Iron Stone, was so low that the Anti-League troops who had fought with it in Rehe felt a little incredible.

    In the second half of last year, during the Japanese army's sweeping raids on our two base areas behind enemy lines in East Hebei and Pingbei, this puppet Manchu army gave us a lot of help behind enemy lines.?The two major base areas have caused considerable losses.  Countless local cadres and local armed forces were lost at the hands of this puppet army.  The only four main regiments in the Jidong Military Region also suffered more than half of their casualties in the battle with this puppet Manchukuo armed force.

    During last year¡¯s anti-mopping operations, one of the main leaders of the Jidong Military Region died in the hands of this armed force during the Panshan battle.  It is precisely because they know that their hands are stained with the blood of anti-Japanese comrades behind enemy lines that this armed force, whose backbone is Chinese and composed of Japanese officers, always fights to the death on the battlefield.

    Because they know that unlike other puppet troops, their compatriots will not let them go because they have committed too many evil acts.  In addition, before and after participating in the large-scale raids on base areas behind enemy lines last year, the Kwantung Army adjusted some of their unreliable commanders in the puppet army.

    "Major General Guo Wentong, the commander of the 49th Puppet Cavalry Regiment, who was considered to have tendencies, was shot, and a large number of Japanese and Korean officers were mixed in.  As a result, this unit has basically become a Japanese military, except for ordinary soldiers and some officers below the battalion who are so-called Manchurians.

    During the battle in Rehe, this puppet Manchu army, which was privately called by the Northeasterners as the most hard-core traitors, had caused a lot of trouble to the Anti-Alliance offensive in Chifeng and the advancing army's offensive in Chengde.  Even many veterans did not fall under the guns of the Japanese army, but fell under the guns of this puppet army
