Beiyang reactionaries

By around the 24th, Japan had sent two divisions of troops to Dalian, and there would be three divisions soon.The war in the direction of Dalian has also been stabilized.

That's why some naval warships were mobilized to support Sinuiju and break the Andong Line of Defense.

Anton is very important in the Japanese army's plan.

The Japanese army has already made a plan to counterattack the Chinese army.One is to use the troops of three or four divisions to attack northward along the Nanman Railway from the direction of Dalian, defeat the troops on the opposite side, and attack Shenyang.One is to use two or three divisions from the direction of Andong to attack Shenyang along the Anfeng Railway.Anyway, it is a two-sided attack to take Shenyang.

As long as Shenyang is taken, it means that the large forces of the Chinese army have been defeated in Fengtian.

There will be winners and losers in this war.

So after transporting about three divisions in the direction of Lushun, the Japanese Navy immediately deployed warships to Andong to defeat the Yalu River defense line.

Tang Shengzhi observed the Japanese warship with a telescope.At present, Tang Shengzhi's headquarters is already very forward, very close to the defense line of the Yalu River. The No.12 Army also came out in full force. Three infantry divisions, two cavalry divisions, and the bandit suppression division formed in Heilongjiang were all deployed on the Yalu River defense line.Because the pressure on the Yalu River is also increasing.

Because Japan's No.20 Division has already arrived in Sinuiju, and some of the Japanese [-]th Division that landed from Busan Port later also had the vanguard troops come to Sinuiju.

The Japanese military force is increasing.

After several unsuccessful attacks on the Yalu River Bridge, the Japanese army has begun to work on a new plan.Although it was difficult, Japan still collected a lot of fishing boats from all over the country, and even called the country to get some speedboats.

Not only did they have to attack from the ground, but they also had to cross the Yalu River directly.

Have tried many times.

The pressure on the Chinese army on the Yalu River defense line is increasing, and the casualties are also increasing.Tang Shengzhi is already preparing to replace the frontline troops, because the frontline troops have been on the Yalu River defense line for five days.

"Call Master He."

Tang Shengzhi observed the movements of the Japanese army and found that the Japanese army was preparing for a new round of attack.Tang Shengzhi knew that the arrival of Japanese warships would be of great benefit to the strengthening of Japanese firepower.

This time the Japanese warships and army units will definitely attack together.

"Yes."

In order to fight, a telephone line was specially drawn between the troops to increase the connection between the troops.

"Commander, the call is connected."

Tang Shengzhi came over, picked up the phone and said, "Mr. He, I'm Tang Shengzhi."

"Commander."

"The warships of the Japanese army are coming, and their firepower can directly cover our frontline positions. Abandon some temporary positions and let all the front troops withdraw. Don't leave the troops within the range of firepower of the Japanese army, and don't increase unnecessary casualties .”

"Yes."

"The troops are ready to change defenses. I will let the troops of Commander Rao (Rao Guohua) take over the Anton defense line, and your troops will withdraw and recuperate for a few days."

"Yes."

For Tang Shengzhi, every team is very important.

Because now is the beginning.

At present, there is only Tang Shengzhi in the direction of An Dong.Shang Zhen's order to Tang Shengzhi was very simple, that is, the No.12 Army must block the Japanese troops coming from North Korea.

They must not be allowed to affect the combat plans of other troops.

The task is daunting.

It's not easy.Because there are more and more Japanese troops coming from the Korean Peninsula.Tang Shengzhi had to consider the battle for a period of time in the future, and he must not cause unnecessary casualties to the troops for the sake of some positions.

The direction of Dalian is the battle.

For example, the planes of the Air Force are all in the direction of Dalian.Anton will take care of it occasionally, and will not take this as the focus.In other words, the war here is completely borne by the Twelfth Army independently.

Fortunately, the Twelfth Army has a huge establishment, and its strength is sufficient at present.

…………

"How's it going?"

"Commander, not long ago, Tang Shengzhi's troops withdrew from the Yalu River defense line. The No. 20 Division of the Japanese Army took control of the Yalu River Bridge, and the troops have begun to enter Andong. Looking at the current situation, even if Tang Shengzhi's side deploys a defense line in Andong , but Anton should be captured by the Japanese army soon."

Fushun.

After Zhang Zuolin made way for Duan Xun's troops, most of the main force moved eastward, and Zhang Zuolin himself established a command room in Fushun, not far from Shenyang.It is to know the situation in Shenyang all the time, and to know the situation on the battlefield all the time.

More importantly, once something happens in the future, you can quickly return to Shenyang from Fushun.

Therefore, Zhang Zuolin is paying close attention to the current war.

"The defense line of the Yalu River has been breached?"

"Yes. The Japanese navy has dispatched warships to support it, and Tang Shengzhi's troops have retreated."

Zhang Zuolin nodded while listening to the current battle report.

After thinking for a while, he asked, "What about Dalian?"

"It is also entering the defense across the board. Although there is no definite information, I heard that two or three divisions of the Japanese army have entered Lushun. Shang Zhen has stopped the troops from continuing to attack Dalian, and instead built a defense line in place."

"Humph."

Zhang Zuolin snorted coldly.

Then he said: "Mom, I don't know what Duan Xun is thinking about. I used to cooperate well with the Japanese, and everyone got what they needed. Why did I suddenly think of going to war with Japan? I think it's all because of Duan Xun." The first half of the child's life was so smooth that he easily became the prime minister of the cabinet. He was too inflated and wanted to leave his name in history. Looking at the current situation, can he provoke Japan? In the beginning, the Japanese army was caught off guard. But what is the use. When Japan began to pay attention and began to mobilize large forces, now it is the turn of the Japanese army to counterattack across the board. Duan Xun's side can only defend. More and more troops pour into the Northeast, and it will be another big defeat. If we lose again this time, we don’t know how much we will pay and how much land will be ceded. Maybe it will be even more painful than in the Jiawu Year.”

"Commander, once Duan Xun's troops are defeated, it will be an opportunity for us."

Yang Yuting is currently Zhang Zuolin's most trusted staff member.

Immediately give Zhang Zuolin an analysis.

"According to the current situation, the Japanese army will definitely have five or six divisions, or even seven or eight divisions, with 6 or [-] people entering the Northeast. As long as Duan Xun can't hold on, the troops will definitely flee at that time. Duan Xun The Prime Minister's position in the cabinet is also precarious."

"of course."

Zhang Zuolin nodded.

Then he said disdainfully: "What is shaky, his political life is over. Duan Xun really thinks that fighting is a joke. This big defeat, does he still want to continue to be the prime minister of his cabinet? What a joke. As long as the defeat, not only need Spit out the customs swallowed some time ago, and also pay for the losses of Japanese merchants, as well as war reparations. I don’t know how much I will pay this time. I don’t think it will be more than a billion or more than two billion silver dollars. Japan will definitely not end War. When the First Sino-Japanese War ended, Li Hefei became the target of everyone's shouting. This defeat, Duan Xun will be even more bleak than Li Hefei back then. His cabinet prime minister will definitely not be kept."

What country is Japan.

Zhang Zuolin has cooperated a lot with Japan and knows Japan better than anyone else.

This time Duan Xun can be said to have no room for reconciliation with Japan, because he has completely turned his back on Japan.Once Japan defeats the Chinese army, it will definitely take advantage of the victory and pursue it. Duan Xun must be pulled down.
