Chapter 1693 Battle of the Eastern Front
In the end, Wang Xuexin still did not go to Turing.

The reason is that at this time the devil's campaign against the Eighth Route Army's eastern front had already started.

The devil's attack was not much different from Wang Xuexin's guess. Its main force was the troops stationed in Fengtian, and the main attack direction was to the Kaiyuan line north of Fengtian.

This is actually encircling the Eastern Front of the Eighth Route Army, because the devils have deployed a division in the south to attack Jinzhou and never stop. If they succeed in going north again, they will encircle the Eighth Route Army on the Eastern Front from the rear.

However, Sasaki Jingjiang was much more cautious than Wang Xuexin imagined. He only sent a division of more than 1 people to attack the north.

"The deployment of the devil's troops is like this!" Chen Songyong pointed to the small flag on the sand table and said: "The 27th and 31st divisions in the south have about 20 troops, and the 1th division in the north has more than 3 troops. People, Fengtian and the vicinity, the devils still have more than 1 troops, these are the devils' troops, and there are more than [-] people in the three regiments of the puppet army, and the devils forcibly recruited soldiers from the common people to recruit a group of more than [-] people. The militia..."

Wang Xuexin didn't look at the other forces, because they didn't have much combat power, especially the more than [-] militias that the devils drew from the people. If they really wanted to fight, they wouldn't know who to point their guns at!

And the devil is a little naive in doing so.

The Eighth Route Army can draw troops from the common people and equip them to form combat effectiveness in a short period of time. How dare you devil do that?
It was only later that Wang Xuexin realized that the devil had his reasons for doing this.

These militia groups were drawn from the local businessmen and landlord class, and the devils spread everywhere that once the Eighth Route Army invaded, they would confiscate their land and property and distribute them to the people...

This is true, the Eighth Route Army not only attacked devils, but also attacked local tyrants and evil gentry.

This is also the main point of contradiction between the Eighth Route Army and the stubborn army: the Eighth Route Army represents the proletariat, while the stubborn army represents the landlord class.

From this point of view, there is no problem for the devils to unite the landlords and businessmen in Fengtian City. From the perspective of their interests, they really need to help the devils resist the Eighth Route Army.

However, what the devil did not expect was:
How many of these wealthy landlords and businessmen can there be?
Aren't the people they gathered under their hands all farmers, long-term laborers or servants?
Even if these people have any brains, it is impossible for them to work hard for the interests of landlords and businessmen. Isn't this degrading themselves?
However, there are more than 3 regular devils in Fengtian City, and this does not count those who are disabled but may still fight on the battlefield.

More than 3 is not a small amount, and it is still difficult to fight with them guarding Fengtian City!

Wang Xuexin didn't think too much, and ordered: "Order the troops, hit harder, let the devil bleed!"

"Yes!"

When this order was passed on to all the troops on the front line, it became "No step back, and the main goal is to kill the devils' vital forces!"

Therefore, the directional mines and bazookas greeted the devils vigorously, and sometimes the aviation team would send a few rocket fighters or "mosquito" fighters to bombard them, which made the devils' charging troops scream.

Of course, this scene is mainly concentrated in the north, that is, the Kaiyuan line.

If it was in the past, when more than 1 people from a division of the Devils attacked the three regiments of the Eighth Route Army and it was a defense line composed of new regiments, it would be as simple as cutting melons and eating vegetables.

But now, all kinds of auxiliary arms of the devil are in a state of being suppressed by the Eighth Route Army, and they can only charge with pure infantry... The devil's [-] infantry artillery and grenades can barely be used. The former is because it can be used as a mortar. Building a cannon fort before the war has a certain survivability, while the latter is ready to attack and go, and has a short range and low trajectory, and can hardly be detected by the cannon detection radar.

But these devils' equipment is nothing compared to the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army... The M30 howitzer of the Eighth Route Army will not fire casually.

But at the same time, the M30 howitzer can't hit whatever it wants.

Because as soon as the M30 howitzer fires, the Devil Artillery scouts will immediately know its location and then the shell will come over, unless the M30 howitzer moves immediately after firing a shell.

But in addition to the M30 howitzers, the Eighth Route Army captured all the howitzers and cannons of various calibers from the devils.

Because at this time the devil's artillery knew that the Eighth Route Army still had a hand, and once they opened fire to suppress it, the Eighth Route Army's M30 howitzers would immediately destroy their artillery positions.

This even cast a psychological shadow on the devil:
In some positions, the Eighth Route Army actually did not deploy M30 or artillery detection radar.

After all, the total length of the two lines of defense is seven to eight hundred kilometers, and the number of artillery detection radars is not enough, and there are always places that cannot be taken care of.

But the Devil Artillery has been frightened by the Eighth Route Army's artillery detection radar. As long as the Eighth Route Army's M30 howitzer does not fire, they think that the Eighth Route Army artillery detection radar is on the opposite side with machine guns ready to blast them into the sky. Because the artillery dared not move.

In fact, these loopholes in the gun detection radar are no longer obvious.

The reason is not the large number of gun detection radars, but the reliability and safety of gun detection radars since they are equipped with transistors.

Even if some places are bombarded and can't take care of it for a while, it's okay to immediately call the nearby artillery detection radar over for reinforcements.

Under such circumstances, it is far from enough for the devils to use only one division to attack the defense lines of the three regiments of the Eighth Route Army, even if the three regiments of the Eighth Route Army are just recruits!

Wang Xuexin is forcing the devils to continue sending troops to the northern front.

Sasaki Jingjiang also seemed to realize that this was a trap, so there was no movement.

Wang Xuexin guessed right, Sasaki Shizue has been worried about Fengtian's safety since the moment Umezu Yoshijiro put forward the counterattack plan.

He worriedly said to the staff: "It's a good thing that your Excellency General can organize a counterattack, but...he has never fought against the Eighth Route Army, so he doesn't know how powerful the Huaxia regiment leader is! What if the Eighth Route Army attacks Fengtian while we are counterattacking?"

The staff officer replied: "Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, even if the Eighth Route Army attacks Fengtian, we have a chance to return to defense, right? What's more, Fengtian City has a thick wall, so the Eighth Route Army won't be able to take it so easily, right?"

Sasaki Shizue didn't answer, just shook his head with a frown.

No one knows better than him that the defense of Fengtian City looks solid at this time, but it is actually in jeopardy.

The reason is that the hearts of the people in the city have dispersed.

Both the common people and the "Manchukuo Army" are bullying and looking forward to the arrival of the Eighth Route Army.

Because only in that way can they have enough to eat and not be starved to death, or even slaughtered by the imperial army...
