Bright Sword Military System

If Wang Xuexin had attacked other places, Umezu Yoshijiro would have finished with a "hehe", but Wang Xuexin had attacked Tonghua.

Tonghua may not be so well-known, but it is definitely a strategic location... Modern famous cities are usually big cities with good economy, but strategic locations are often not good places for economic development, so they are not well known, and Siping is one of them.

In history, after the devils occupied the Northeast, there were only two cities that developed in particular, one was Xinjing, and the other was Tonghua.

The development of Xinjing is not because it is a strategic location, but it is used as a model city to make movies for publicity purposes, and the development of Tonghua is because of its important geographical location.

The reason why devils value Tonghua so much is because it is located between Changbai Mountains, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and stuck on the important transportation line from Bangzi to Xinjing.

(Note: There are three main transportation nodes from the northeast to Bangzi: one is Dandong in the southwest, the other is Ji'an in the central part via Tonghua, and the third is Tumen in the northeast.)
At this time, Fengtian had been recovered by the Eighth Route Army. If the Eighth Route Army attacked Tonghua again, the connection between the pseudo-"Manchukuo" and Bangzi would almost be cut off in the middle.

More importantly, Tonghua is the "capital" after the devil plans to move the island to China.

The reason for choosing Tonghua is because it is located between the Changbai Mountains and is easy to defend and difficult to attack. At the same time, it is very suitable for the guerrilla strategy of the devils and Ying Jiang... If Ying Jiang fights over, the Devils can also retreat to Changbai Mountain and fight guerrillas.

If such a place is captured by the Eighth Route Army, even if the Kwantung Army can accept the devil's island, it will not be able to accept it.

Therefore, when he learned that the main force of the Eighth Route Army was marching to Tonghua, Umezu Yoshijiro couldn't help being shocked, and immediately mobilized troops to reinforce.

Umezu Yoshijiro was still a little skeptical at first, he said: "Could this be the Eighth Route Army's plan to transfer the tiger away from the mountain, hoping that we will transfer the Siping army to Tonghua?"

"Very likely!" The chief of staff seconded: "I think the Eighth Route Army's goal is probably still Siping, and the temptation of Xinjing will be much greater than Tonghua!"

After a pause, the chief of staff said again: "But we have to adjust. Unless, our army continues to transfer troops from the border fortress..."

"No!" Umezu Yoshijiro rejected the proposal without even thinking about it.

The border fortress has a defense line of thousands of kilometers. Although the imperial army has a strength of 40 to 300 troops, there are only more than [-] people on average per kilometer.

This is not the point. If there are no enemies on the border, an average of more than 300 people per kilometer is not too small.

The problem is that Mao Xiong has more than 100 million people on the same line of defense.

This makes Umezu Yoshijiro how can he safely adjust his troops to empty.

After being silent for a while, Umezu Yoshijiro ordered: "Transfer the 20th Division to Tonghua and make preparations to stop the Eighth Route Army!"

"Yes!"

Wang Xuexin got the news soon.

The 20th Division?

The defeated army that had fled in Fengtian before and had time to rest and replenish its troops in the future?

This is obviously just for show!

But Wang Xuexin is not in a hurry. If the devil thinks that he can deal with the Baizhan Brigade by acting like this, let's see what the result is!

Wang Xuexin did not interfere in this battle, and gave full power to Li Changfu to command.

Two days later, the Hundred Battles Brigade encountered the 20th Division of the Devils, and information from the frontline was sent to Wang Xuexin's desk like snowflakes.

"Start the battle at 43:[-] in the morning!"

"The Hundred Battles Brigade dispatched half-track vehicles to march overnight to the defense line of the Devil's 20th Division!"

"The Devil's 20th Division didn't seem to have expected the Hundred Battles Brigade to be so fast, and they forced a breakthrough at night, but they were caught off guard!"

……

Wang Xuexin secretly thought that this Li Changfu still has some skills.

Although he is good at hard fighting, but hard fighting also has the art of hard fighting.

For example, at this time, Li Changfu's forced march could easily be regarded as "expedition by laboring teachers" and "advancement underestimating the enemy", while the devils were "waiting for work with leisure".

Tactics are never static. From another perspective, this kind of "expedition with labor force" and "advancement underestimated the enemy" means "soldiers are precious and fast".

A lot of wars are based on the result analysis process: if you lose, you will underestimate the enemy, and if you win, you will be quick.

There's nothing wrong with that, because wars are about results!

But Wang Xuexin believed that Li Changfu's choice was right.

One: The devils didn't think that Li Changfu's troops with superior equipment would choose to break through at night, but Li Changfu did so.

Two: If the battle does not start tonight, it may be postponed for another day in the layers of defense of the devils, which means that the devils have one more day to prepare.

Three: The most important thing is that the devils may have poison gas bombs, and gas bombs are difficult to function at night.

There is no reason for it. The night is pitch black and the enemy and our armies are strangling together. Even if the devils have poison gas bombs in their hands, they don't know where to hit them!

Li Changfu also judged in the same way, he was actually worried all the way.

The political commissar had never seen Li Changfu's expression before, so he said: "Old Li, the one facing you is just the 20th Division of the Devils, the defeated general is a dog! We were not afraid when we had nothing before, but now we have tanks and half-track cars, why are we so worried?"

Li Changfu shook his head: "Political commissar, don't tell me, I'm really scared!"

"What? You are..." The political commissar looked at Li Changfu puzzled.

"Political commissar!" Li Changfu frowned: "Think about it, the Devil's 20th Division was just defeated by our army, and now it's spring again, and the ice and snow around Changbai Mountain have melted and mud is everywhere. The Devil's reinforcements at Bangzi will not be able to get through for a while! In other words, the 20th Division has no morale and no replenishment. It only has 1 people at its peak. What can we use to fight our Hundred Battles Brigade?"

"That's right!" said the political commissar, and then asked strangely, "Then what are you afraid of?"

"We know this, so the devils don't know about it?" Li Changfu replied, "If the devils know this, why did they send this army to stop us? I don't think it's easy!"

When Li Changfu said this, the political commissar thought it was right.

"Then you mean..."

"Gas bombs!" Li Changfu replied with certainty: "The 20th Division has gas bombs in their hands, and it is likely that they have prepared a lot!"

The political commissar's face turned pale in an instant.

Where the poison gas bomb passes, there is no grass growing. Who can not be afraid?
Li Changfu moved his fingers to the map, found the approximate location of the Devil's 20th Division, and tapped lightly: "Although we have prepared [-] sets of gas masks, these gas masks may not be of much use in real combat! So, I think we should fight faster and slower!"
