Liao Province, Shengjing, the headquarters of the Kwantung Army!
Kwantung Army Commander Honjo Shigeru, Banheng Seishiro, Ishihara Kana, and Dohihara Kenji were all very pleased with themselves.
The success of the 918 plan had made them famous and had gained a very high reputation in the country.
Moreover, they had received strong support from the militarists in the country, which boosted their confidence.
As long as they took down the entire Manchurian region, they would be able to return to their country to receive supreme glory.
Moreover, it could be foreseen that their future would definitely be very bright.
Then, a telegram in front of them broke the atmosphere.
"Baka, I must punish these cunning Chinese people.”
Ben Zhuang Fan's expression changed when he saw the contents of the telegram.
"Commander, what happened?”
Seeing his expression, Ishihara's heart sank slightly. She had a bad feeling.
Ben Zhuangfan slammed the telegram heavily on the table.
"That silkpants didn't retreat from Jin City as promised. Instead, he dug a line of defense on the edge of Liao River in an attempt to stop our attack.”
Hearing this, Dohihara Kenji's eyes narrowed and he said,""Impossible."
"Our intelligence department has already investigated the withdrawal of the Northeast Army. Their troops have indeed withdrawn from Jinzhou.”
"How could they leave so many soldiers behind? Are you sure this is the Northeast Army?”
Honshaka nodded with a serious expression and said,""There is indeed such a troop, but I guess it is the Northeast Army.”
"And this unit is equipped with powerful anti-air firepower. Our reconnaissance plane was shot down, and they sent this telegram back before the jade shattered.”
Itakashi Seishiro frowned when he heard this, but then he relaxed.
"No matter who it is, they can't stop our plan. We'll still attack Jin City according to the original plan. We can't let them have a chance to catch their breath.”
In the end, after a discussion, they decided to send the entire 2nd division to attack the Liao River defense line.
The 39th mixed regiment launched an attack on Tiger Mountain in advance to disperse Jin Zhou's forces.
Moreover, the Kwantung Army headquarters had also decided to send the heavy artillery brigade and the Army Air Force south to support the Jinzhou battle.
They wanted to launch an offensive with thunderous momentum to intimidate the armed forces in the northeast.
However, the person they met was Qin Yi, and they were destined to meet a bloody end.
On the 27th, the Liao River defense line was finally completed with the help of tens of thousands of civilian workers.
At the same time, Qin Yi also took out the 100 88mm dual-purpose cannons rewarded by the system for air defense.
When Xiao Liuzi left, he took all the fighter planes and pilots in the northeast with him.
He could only rely on these anti-air cannons to ensure the safety of his airspace.
........
The Japanese troops arrived earlier than expected.
On the afternoon of the 27th, the vanguard of the Japanese Second Division, the 2nd Cavalry Regiment, arrived on the other side of the Liao River.
Commander Hisashi Yamaoka frowned as he looked at the formation in the distance.
From the layout of the camp, it could be seen that the enemy was an army that was very good at soil engineering.
The arrangement of the positions and firing points was impeccable.
However, from the looks of it, the enemy did not have a lot of troops. This might be good news.
"Regiment Commander, the division headquarters called, asking us to conduct reconnaissance on the enemy's position.”
"I understand." Shouzu Yamaoka didn't even turn his head.”
Although the Northeast Army was well-equipped, their morale was very low, and the quality of their soldiers was not high.
This order was not too difficult for him.
He immediately gave the order.
"The entire regiment will change to infantry and feint the front to test the enemy's firepower!”
Although the layer of ice on the Liao River was thick, it was also very slippery and was not suitable for cavalry to fight.
That was why he had given the order to change to infantry combat.
The 2nd Cavalry Regiment had a total of 3 cavalrymen, with a total of 1700 men.
Not only did they have excellent horse guns, but they also had light and heavy machine guns, as well as a dozen mortars and other light artillery. Their firepower was still very powerful.
Leaving more than 200 people to guard the camp, more than 1,000 Japanese soldiers lined up in battle formation and began to strengthen the Liao River.
Looking at the cautious advance of the devils on the surface of the Liaohe River, the atmosphere in the 1st regiment began to turn heavy.
A great battle! It could be triggered at any moment!
"It seems that the Japanese are also very cautious. They asked the First Regiment to hold back and not expose all their firepower.”
Huang Baitao looked at the situation in front of him and quickly judged the Japanese army's intentions.
A group leader muttered after receiving the order.
"Motherf * cker, you still have to be timid in a battle. What is this?”
Of course, he only complained a little, but he still began to seriously carry out the orders of this new division commander.
He did not want to be the first one.
Moreover, he also thought that this was the right order.
With the current firepower, if they were all exposed, they would probably scare the main forces of the Japanese.
Their strategic goal this time was to severely injure or even wipe out the Japanese Second Division.
All the operations revolved around this goal.
Even if there were more sacrifices, it was inevitable.
