"Commander, our 2nd and 3rd divisions have surrounded the 10th division!”
In less than an hour, the two divisions finally completed the division of the Japanese army.
Nearly 30,000 Japanese soldiers were divided into pieces, and then concentrated on the superior forces to eat them piece by piece.
"Quickly take down the 10th division and continue to advance towards Fengtian.”
If it wasn't for the fact that they had too few troops, the 2nd Armored Division could have continued their assault until they reached Fengtian City.
This blitzkrieg was still a little strenuous for the border guards.
"How's the Second Army?"
The First Infantry Division's target was the 38th and 39th mixed regiments of the Japanese army. In addition, there were several independent Japanese garrison brigades, with a total strength of more than 20,000 people.
The 1st Infantry Division only had 15,000 men, so they were at a disadvantage.
However, it was not a big problem to defeat the Japanese army.
"Reporting to the commander, the Second Route Army has already exchanged fire with the Japanese soldiers of Xinmin.”
After the Japanese soldiers discovered the 1st Division, they took the initiative to attack.
They directly attacked the 1st Division.
The commander of the 1st Division was shocked by the Japanese army.
They didn't put the 1st division in their eyes at all. They just attacked them like that.
Thus, the 1st Division built a simple line of defense around the Willow River.
Defense could give him a greater advantage, and it was more conducive to displaying his firepower advantage.
Therefore, without the support of the air force and armored trains, a big battle broke out between the 1st Division and the Japanese mixed brigade.
The commander of the First Infantry Division arranged two infantry regiments to defend the front line, attracting the main forces of the Japanese army.
The division's tank battalion and the remaining mechanized infantry regiment used their powerful mobility to penetrate the rear of the Japanese army and surround them.
Fortunately, the ice on the river was very thick, and the engineers did not spend much effort to build a simple bridge across the Willow River for tanks.
Thus, while the front line was busy attacking and defending, the division's tank battalion successfully maneuvered to the rear of the Japanese army.
An infantry battalion left the main force.
Their target was Xinmin City, which only had one Japanese garrison.
The rest of the troops would attack the rear of the two mixed regiments.
The sudden appearance of this tank force caught the Japanese off guard.
The two infantry regiments on the front line jumped out of their positions and directly attacked the Japanese army.
An encirclement was quietly forming.
More than 16,000 Japanese soldiers were surrounded in the Liuhe area.
It would take some effort for the 1st division to take down this tough nut to crack.
However, as long as they could take down this tough nut, it would be equivalent to opening the western gate of Fengtian.
The new citizens were only 50 kilometers away from Fengtian.
"Break out of the encirclement, we must break out of the encirclement at all costs!”
At this moment, the two exploration teams had formed a joint command center.
Facing the gradually forming encirclement, the two regiment commanders made the same decision.
However, it was impossible for the 1st Infantry Division to break out of the encirclement so easily.
As the first division under Qin Yi, they were the best in terms of quality and equipment.
Amid the encirclement, artillery shells began to fall.
Three 105mm howitzer battalions and one 155mm howitzer battalion had a total of 48 heavy artillery.
In addition, there were also a large number of mortars and rocket launchers.
The fierce firepower almost made the Japanese army think that they were surrounded by hundreds of thousands of troops.
Such fierce firepower had completely awakened the Japanese army.
He wanted to let them know how wrong his decision to take the initiative was.
In fact, this was not the fault of the two Japanese exploration teams.
They had never come into contact with the border guards and had only heard some rumors.
However, in their opinion, these rumors were definitely exaggerated.
Moreover, with the advantage in numbers, how could they put the Chinese army in their eyes?
Hence, the two exploration teams slapped their heads and decided to take the initiative to attack and defeat the attacking border guards.
The early stages of the attack were still very smooth.
The border guards could only build a defensive position to defend against the attacks of the Empire's warriors.
After a round of battle, they also discovered that this Chinese army was not as powerful as the rumors said.
Hence, they continued to increase their offensive.
If they could annihilate this Chinese army, then they would have made a great contribution.
However, they only realized how wrong they were when the tanks appeared behind them.
Thus, they were surrounded.
The commander of the 1st Division used binoculars to observe the situation on the battlefield. He said with a serious face,""The Japanese resistance is still very tenacious. I'm afraid it will be difficult to take them down in a few hours.”
"Tell the 3rd Regiment and 7th Battalion to take down the new citizens as soon as possible. Don't let the reinforcements from Fengtian come over.”
"Ask the air force if they can get air support.”
"Yes, sir!"
Qin Yi was feeling this way.
200 plus fighter jets seemed like a lot, but when it came to using them, they realized that they were not enough.
After the telegram from the Second Route Army arrived, Qin Yi sent out the remaining Mustang fighter jet brigade.
"Perhaps we can send the Torpedo Machine Brigade as well. There are no abnormalities in Bohai Bay.”
Just as this thought appeared in Qin Yi's mind, the Air Force called.
"Commander, traces of the Japanese fleet have been discovered in the Bohai Strait.”
After hearing this news, Qin Yi was shocked.
"How big is it?"
