After receiving a telegram from the forward troops asking for help, Commander Kita Seiichi of the Japanese Sixth Army suddenly became energetic as if he had taken opium.

Kita Seiichi's thinking is very normal, that is, the information obtained last night that Shuangliao City is still an empty city, and now the Northeast People's Anti-Japanese Allied Forces suddenly appeared, indicating that Liu Yimin also knew that Shuangliao was an empty city and sent troops to occupy it. Moreover, stationed in Shuangliao

The Northeastern People's Anti-Japanese Democratic Alliance Army in Liaocheng does not have many troops. Otherwise, his forward troops would not be able to successfully withdraw from the station. Seiichi Kita in North China

When I was young, I knew Liu Yimin's troops very well. I knew that Liu Yimin's fighting style was extremely tough. They showed no mercy to the Japanese army and did not care about any prisoners. Not to mention small soldiers, even major generals and lieutenant generals, they would kill them without hesitation.

There is only one explanation for why the forward troops were able to escape from the station, and that is that Liu Yimin's troops stationed in Shuangliao City were limited in strength and unable to completely wipe out his forward troops.

After understanding this, Kita Makoto, who was sitting on the train, urgently ordered the follow-up troops to speed up and the 23rd Division to speed up and attack Shuangliao before Liu Yimin's reinforcements arrived at Shuangliao.

As long as Shuangliao is invaded, Kita Seiichi believes that with the fully mechanized combat power of the 23rd Division, Shuangliao will not be lost. He will wait for the main force of the Kwantung Army to launch a major counterattack and wait for the main force of the Fifth Army to arrive at Shuangliao.

Under the strict orders of Kita Seiichi, the main force of the Japanese Sixth Army passed through railways and highways and rushed towards Shuangliao.

Liu Yimin actually didn't like fighting in broad daylight because the Japanese planes were too nasty. When fighting in the daytime, the troops would be exposed to Japanese planes for a long time, and the casualties would increase sharply. But there was no way, the little Japs were coming to kill them.

We can't accept them. If the main force of the Sixth Army is allowed to enter Shuangliao City and our army besieges it at night,

The casualties will also be huge. The most important thing is that the 23rd Division of the Sixth Army has now replaced its shotguns with cannons and become a mechanized division, together with the Japanese First Guards Division, Second Division, and Fifth Division.

Like the regiment, it is one of the only four mechanized divisions of the Japanese army. If they see that the momentum is wrong and escape, they will regret it!

Because there were scouts left by Wei Zhen to monitor the whereabouts of the Japanese troops heading south, Liu Yimin, who was sitting in Shuangliao City, could accurately know where the main force of the Japanese Sixth Army was.

The communication battalion has connected the telephone calls to each column. Except for the forward troops of the Japanese Sixth Army outside Shuangliao City, which are still firing stupidly at our troops, the entire Shuangliao area is in the terrible silence before the war.

Time passed by minute by second as Liu Yimin waited anxiously.

In fact, the waiting time was not particularly long. It only took half an hour. The second Japanese military column arrived. This time, the little Japanese military column did not dare to drive into Shuangliao City again. Instead, it parked outside the city.

The Japanese got out of the car and joined the vanguard troops who were shooting at our troops. They immediately entered the battle and launched a counterattack against our defending troops.

Kita Seiichi's military train was the last to arrive and parked on the railway in the Kaosantun area. Knowing that the Eighth Route Army's fighter jets suffered heavy losses in the air battle with the Fourth Flying Group, and without fighter cover, the Eighth Route Army's bombers might appear, Kita

Seiichi was no longer afraid and stayed on the train without getting off, directing the battle in the carriage.

Kita Makoto was thinking that the Eighth Route Army defending the city did not have many troops, and his army's supplementary team captured Shuangliao City with one assault. Unexpectedly, one assault was repelled, and two assaults were still repelled. Kita Makoto was annoyed.

, simply ordered the artillery regiment directly under the army he brought to set up positions, bombard Shuangliao City, and cover the troops to seize Shuangliao.

This is the shortcoming of Kita Seiichi's lack of actual combat experience. If it were the commander of the 23rd Division, Lieutenant General Nishihara Kanji, he might have already launched poison gas bombs by this time, and he would not be a fool.

, and attacked in one direction. Kita Seiichi originally wanted to rely on Shuangliao City to hide and defend after entering Shuangliao City, but he was reluctant to use cannons.

Before Kita Seiichi's artillery fired, the forward troops of the 23rd Division arrived.

The 23rd Division is a mechanized force, composed of tank troops, air defense troops, and motorized infantry troops. The artillery is all self-propelled artillery, and the marching speed is very fast. No, the forward arrived not long ago, and the main force roared quickly.

He roared to catch up.

Seeing that the 23rd Division had arrived, Kita Makoto became enlightened and handed over the battlefield command to Lieutenant General Nishihara Kanji, the commander of the 23rd Division, and returned to the carriage to think about more important strategic issues.

.

Lieutenant General Kanji Nishihara is different from Seiichi Kita, who turned to spy work. He came out of the Russo-Japanese War and the War of Invasion of China, and has extremely rich battlefield experience. He had just arrived at Kaoshantun, and his eyes were black.

Seiichi Kita was granted battlefield command. The first thing Nishihara Kanji did was not to attack the city, but to lead several regiment commanders to the hills of Kaoshantun and observe the terrain with binoculars.

It doesn't matter if you don't observe the terrain. This observation scared Nishihara Kanji to the point of peeing! I saw a huge team suddenly appeared in the wilderness on the east side of the Sitao Railway, heading towards the road and railway. Behind the team, there was Gao

Needless to say, the artillery group that raised their barrels was fooled again, and the Eighth Route Army's artillery shells were about to fall.

Nishihara Kanji did not look further north or south. He just glanced at it and knew that a dozen miles to the north, the dust was rising and blocking the sky. It was obvious that a large-scale cavalry group had arrived. Such a large-scale cavalry force

The cluster of Kwantung Army is gone now, they only have one third cavalry brigade left. Needless to say, that is Liu Yimin's cavalry cluster!

Kanji Nishihara was so shocked that he almost dropped his telescope and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Evacuate quickly, evacuate quickly!"

Kanji Nishihara yelled too late. At this time, no one among the captains paid attention to what Kanji Nishihara was shouting, because the familiar roar sounded in the sky. Anyone who has been on the battlefield knows that it is when the artillery group fires.

The sound of shells streaking across the sky.

The huge mechanized convoy of the Japanese 23rd Division is lying on the road like a dead snake!

The artillery group that opened fire was naturally the artillery group commanded by Li Chang, commander of the artillery column of the Northeast People's Anti-Japanese Democratic Alliance Army. At this time, Li Chang had the capital and transferred it to the eighth column. The heavy artillery regiments of the eleventh column had already been reorganized. Li Chang

Heavy artillery regiment, rocket artillery regiment, two field artillery regiments, two mountain artillery regiments, medium mortar

The artillery regiment and the artillery regiments of the first, third, fourth, fifth and seventh main columns were all used to fire at the huge convoy of the Japanese 23rd Division that stretched for more than ten miles on the road.

It’s just that the two artillery regiments, the First Column and the Fourth Column, were deployed on the west bank of the Liao River and have not spoken for the time being.

As soon as the artillery group of the Northeast People's Anti-Japanese Democratic Alliance opened fire, groups of artillery shells flew across the sky and fell, exploding on the roads and railways. The Japanese 23rd Division immediately exploded the group. The little devils were busy starting the tanks,

Armored vehicles, cars, and self-propelled artillery evaded the Eighth Route Army's artillery fire.

It is said that the 23rd Division is indeed the elite of the Japanese army. The officers and soldiers have shown good qualities and remain calm in the face of chaos. The problem is that they have become targets now. Under such a powerful artillery fire, no matter how high their tactical quality is, it is useless.

.

After a test firing, the artillery group that had calibrated the artillery parameters began to fire a salvo. The artillery shells kept falling like hailstones, and vehicles of the little devils were constantly being hit. Especially the rockets of the rocket artillery regiment,

The little devils of the 23rd Division have never seen such powerful artillery shells. This time it is an eye-opener. Tanks, armored vehicles, cars, self-propelled artillery, as long as they are hit by rockets, they will immediately become a pile of scrap metal.

Lieutenant General Kanji Nishihara, who staggered down from the hill, had completely woken up. He knew that his mechanized division had completely fallen into the trap carefully laid by Liu Yimin. His only idea now was to take advantage of the strong mobility of the troops.

, escape!

The 23rd Division has now been enveloped by the artillery group of the Northeast People's Anti-Japanese Democratic Alliance and was beaten to pieces. However, after all, it is a mechanized division with more than 18,000 people. It is lined up on the road for more than ten miles. The Eighth Route Army

No matter how fierce the artillery fire is, it is impossible to completely cripple it all at once. It will take time and continuous bombardment.

Nishihara Kanji got into a tank, exposed himself from the turret, waved a small plaster flag, and kept waving it toward Luxi. The meaning was very clear. He couldn't escape to the east, and he couldn't go to Shuangliao City to the south.

, the way to the north has been cut off by the Eighth Route Army cavalry group, and only the west side has not been shelled, it is quiet. Nishihara Kanji will lead the remaining tanks, armored vehicles, cars, and self-propelled artillery of the Japanese army to escape toward the west.

To the west is the Liaohe River, which has not yet thawed and looks like a white jade belt in the sun.

Kanji Nishihara guessed that Liu Yimin must have thought that the Liaohe River was a natural barrier and that the 23rd Division was a mechanized division that could not be crossed by heavy vehicles, so he opened a barrier to the west. Nishihara Kanji was rich in battlefield experience and thoughtful.

, he wanted to take advantage of Liu Yimin's negligence and lead the remaining troops to quickly retreat to the Xiliao River. If necessary, abandon all vehicles and let the soldiers cross the river on foot to escape.

Nishihara Kanji has seen clearly that Liu Yimin's main force is here, surrounded from the east, south and north, and there is only one way to go west.

Nishihara Kanji was relatively lucky, and still had the opportunity to get into a tank and lead the remaining troops to escape westward. Lieutenant General Kita Seiichi, the commander of the Sixth Army, was not as lucky. The military train that Kita Seiichi was riding on was parked on the railway.

, the target was so obvious, it was attacked by the rocket artillery regiment as soon as it came up. The entire military column was blown into more than ten sections, dumped on the side of the roadbed, and truly turned into a dead snake!

The artillery group was roaring, the sound of the artillery was echoing, and the ancient Songliao Plain was shaken!
