The remnants of the Fifth Army desperately broke through and collapsed under the powerful attack of the artillery group and the joint attack of the three vertical columns, the fifth vertical column, and the armored group. The Japanese fleet coming for reinforcements was tightly entangled by the Chinese and American air forces, strangled repeatedly in the air, and gradually moved away from the battlefield.

, and can no longer take care of the Fifth Army on the ground.

The setting sun disappeared deep into the grassland, and twilight finally began to cover the earth.

Liu Yimin's face was stained black and white by the smoke from bombs and shell explosions. He held his sniper rifle in his hand and stood on the artillery position, looking coldly at the sky, still searching for Japanese aircraft.

The shadow looks like a stone sculpture!

After the Battle of Songliao began, our artillery group defeated the main force of the Japanese Fifth Army in one fell swoop with overwhelming power. The battle went quite smoothly. The only variable was that the Japanese aircraft suddenly flew onto the battlefield to cover the retreat of the Fifth Army. If not

Our army deployed smoke bombs to cover the battlefield with thick smoke. With the rapid arrival of the Chinese and American air forces, the Japanese aircraft fleet was likely to blast a bloody path and support the remnants of the Fifth Army to break out.

Liu Yimin personally weighed a sniper rifle and went into battle. You can know the extent of damage caused to the battlefield by the sudden bombing of Japanese planes.

The heavy dusk could not conceal the smell of blood on the battlefield, but it forced the little devil's fighter planes to retreat honestly.

This air battle was another fierce fight between the two sides. Fortunately, the Chinese and American pilots were able to parachute at critical moments and receive ground fire cover. The same could not be said for the Japanese pilots, who were beaten into a hornet's nest before they could parachute to the ground.

The Japanese plane flew away. The large-scale battle on the battlefield was coming to an end. The troops were chasing the remnants of the enemy. The sound of gunfire continued intermittently and gradually faded away. There were occasional grenades in the center of the battlefield, and the explosion of bomb bags could be heard.

Come on. Needless to say, those wounded Japanese soldiers who were deeply poisoned by militarism blew themselves up in despair. These little devils encountered the main force of the Eighth Route Army who had been fighting on the anti-Japanese battlefield for several years. Unless they surrendered voluntarily, otherwise

They will all be replenished by soldiers. They want to die together with our army. It is just wishful thinking. They can only kill themselves by banging grenades or detonating bomb bags.

There were burning wreckage of tanks, armored vehicles, cars, and glue trucks everywhere. The air was filled with the pungent smell of burning gasoline. The corpses of war horses and Japanese soldiers were scattered on the land that was about to thaw, and it looked like a mess.

The Dongzhong Field Hospital located in Taonan City and the field hospitals located in the villages behind the ambush positions of each column were extremely busy. Seriously wounded people were sent one after another for emergency rescue.

While Liu Yimin was still staring at the sky, Luo Ronghuan, Ye Ting, and Cai Zhong came over.

Luo Ronghuan took the sniper rifle from Liu Yimin's hand, turned off the safety, and said with great joy: "After destroying the Japanese Fifth Army, the vast Mongolian grassland west of the Tao-Ang Railway is now in front of us. Our army cannot afford to lose.

Good opportunity! Should we immediately march eastward to Changchun, capture Changchun, and force the main force of the Kwantung Army to fight decisively between Gongzhuling and Siping, or march westward and sweep across the Mongolian Plateau. An immediate decision is needed. In my opinion, the entire army should march eastward, capture Changchun, and fight with the Kwantung Army.

Decisive battle. After the main force of the Kwantung Army is eliminated, we will quickly divide our forces to sweep across Mongolia and the Far East."

Liu Yimin said "Yeah", turned around, sat down on the ground, took out a cigarette and was about to light it. Cai Zhong on the side knocked the matchbox out of Liu Yimin's hand and said sternly: "Smoking is not allowed on the battlefield.

.This is the rule you set, you have to smoke and smoke again when you return to the headquarters!"

Luo Ronghuan added: "Director Cai is right, the battle is at its end, and the battlefield has not been cleaned yet. There might be some Japanese soldiers lying among the dead, pretending to be dead dogs! Smoking exposes the target, so you are not allowed to smoke!"

From attacking Shuangliao and annihilating the main force of the Japanese Sixth Army to moving north overnight and wiping out the Japanese Fifth Army, our army fought continuously and the troops were already quite tired. Although Liu Yimin was physically very big and unusual, he was the commander in chief and was more concerned than ever.

Others have much more work to do, and you can imagine how tired they are. Therefore, I want to smoke as soon as I sit down.

Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong spoke harshly, but they all sat down on the ground. Even Ye Ting, who was so focused on military appearance, also sat down.

Liu Yimin reached out and pulled out a withered grass root from the ground, shook it, shook the dirt off the grass root, chewed it in his mouth for a while, and then said: "We should divide our troops into three groups at this time, and one group is the cavalry group.

Sweep across Mongolia; take the train all the way north, via the Siberian Railway, sweep across the Far East; the other way south to Changchun, and join forces with the Liu Jianli Group in the south to fight the main force of the Kwantung Army. The most critical thing here is time. Once our army destroys the Japanese Fifth Army

When the news comes out, it is very likely that the Soviet Far East Red Army will take action and launch an attack on the Japanese garrison staying in the Far East. If the Soviet Red Army regains part of the land in the Far East and Mongolia, things will be in trouble. Unfortunately, there will be less regrets when the troops are used. We must

To fight the main force of the Kwantung Army, we must mobilize all available forces to engage in a life-and-death struggle with the Japanese army that affects the future and destiny of the Northeast. At this moment, we must concentrate all the main forces and quickly march eastward to Changchun to encircle and annihilate the main force of the Kwantung Army!"

Having said this, Liu Yimin pondered for a while and said: "After the main force moves eastward, a force must be left to consolidate the Taonan and Baicheng areas, and quickly seize the Aershan Station to the west and control the Bai-A Railway; attack Angang River to the north,

Qiqihar, to cover the true intention of our army to march eastward for the battle. At the same time, we raised food and grass and hoarded ammunition in the three key points of Taonan, Baicheng and Angangxi to prepare for our army's large-scale march westward to Mongolia and north to the Far East. This is a big event, Cai

The director stayed, Cavalry Political Commissar Bowen stayed, and Seventh Column Chief of Staff Li Deguang stayed. Taoliao Command was established, with Director Cai as the commander-in-chief, Bowen and Li Deguang as deputy commanders, Li Deguang was in charge of military command, and the cavalry group was transferred

The cavalry regiments and cavalry battalions of each column and the brigade of the seventh column remaining in Shuangliao are all under your command. They will be based in Baicheng and be responsible for coordinating and commanding the preparations for the westward march to Mongolia and the northward march to the Far East. The war is urgent, and Director Cai will immediately notify Bowen.

Come see me with Li Deguang."

This was a strategic plan related to the overall situation. Cai Zhong felt deeply that he had a heavy responsibility. He immediately stood up, saluted Liu Yimin, and loudly reported that he promised to complete the task. After the report, Cai Zhong asked in a low voice: "Mr. Liu, these troops are a bit small, can we

Can’t we give two more infantry regiments?”

Liu Yimin looked at Cai Zhong's dark face and said regretfully: "There is not a single company left."

Luo Ronghuan laughed: "You old Cai, why don't you understand now? After the cavalry regiments and cavalry battalions of each column of our army were reorganized, they were dissatisfied because of the lack of horses. There are many brave horsemen on the Horqin grassland, and our army

There are also more weapons and ammunition. Why don’t you just fill up all the cavalry regiments and cavalry battalions in each column? Then you can form a few cavalry brigades. Are you still worried about the lack of troops? "

Cai Zhong scratched his head: "Political Commissar, I thought so too, but few of our troops can speak Mongolian. We won't be able to communicate for a while. It will take time!"

Liu Yimin interrupted Cai Zhong and said: "If our Cai Zhong can't even handle this little thing, is he still Cai Zhong? You can discuss the specific matters later. Go and notify Bowen and Li Deguang to see me!"

Cai Zhong saluted again and ran to inform.

Liu Yimin then said to Ye Ting: "Order all units to quickly clear out the remaining enemies, end the battle as soon as possible, strictly block the news that our army has eliminated the main force of the Fifth Army, try to find the radio stations and code books of the Fifth Army or other divisions of the Japanese army, and disguise

The remnants of the Japanese army asked the Kwantung Army for help. With such a large force, Yamada Otsuzo absolutely did not believe that our army could wipe it out in such a short period of time. This is an opportunity we can take advantage of. Order one column, three columns, and cavalry.

, the artillery, column, and air defense brigade immediately withdrew from the battle to clear out the remaining enemies, and used the seized materials to quickly replenish combat consumption. The troops rested and ate on the spot, and marched along the railway highway from Baicheng to Changchun two hours later. Orders were given to the fourth, fifth, and seventh columns.

The column quickly completed the task of clearing out the remaining enemy forces, replenished ammunition, took a short rest, followed the first column, the third column, the cavalry column, and the artillery column, and then marched towards Changchun."

Ye Ting recorded the order and showed it to Liu Yimin and Luo Ronghuan. He turned around and was about to issue the order. Liu Yimin called out to him and told him: "Chief of Staff, you will personally lead the staff office to formulate a battle plan, and at the same time notify Zhao Yonggang in Changchun City.

Wei Zhengmin and others will cooperate well and support the main force to enter Changchun."

Ye Ting saluted again and ran to deliver the order.

Liu Yimin then said to Luo Ronghuan: "Political Commissar, you are responsible for organizing the train formation and deployment, using all the military trains left in Taonan and now on the railway, and using all the Japanese cars on the battlefield that have not been damaged. Try your best.

Good luck and fast luck, and ensure that our army's first and third columns arrive in Changchun before dawn."

Luo Ronghuan calculated silently and said: "Baicheng is 333 kilometers away from Changchun. It's already very stressful to arrive before dawn. I have two suggestions. One is to let Li Lingfeng, Wang Tongsheng, and Wang Laohu lead the special operations headquarters and the first regiment to set off immediately.

, kill the small groups of enemies at the train stations along the line, and ensure the smooth flow of railways and highways; second, let the four political commissars of the third column, fifth column, seventh column, and artillery column cooperate with me, work separately, and speed up."

The political commissar of the first column, Cheng Cuilin, and the political commissar of the fourth column, Yuan Guoping, are all in Shenyang. The political commissar of the cavalry column, Bowen, has to accept a new task. These four column political commissars are the only ones here.

Liu Yimin nodded, and Luo Ronghuan also stood up and left.

As soon as Luo Ronghuan left, Liu Yimin lay on his back on the ground and turned on his snoring after a while.

When Cai Zhong came with Bowen and Li Deguang, Liu Yimin was dreaming about Duke Zhou, and he was snoring loudly!
