"Chief of Staff, how many people does this enemy have in total? Are they equipped with heavy weapons..."

"According to Air Force reconnaissance, the total strength is about 15,000. As for heavy weapons, they are equipped with a large number of large-caliber artillery..." the chief of staff replied.

"We have just succeeded in Siping. It seems that our opponent wants to stage a pincer attack on our defenders in the Liaoyuan area to eliminate our Liaoyuan defenders and occupy the entire Liaoyuan area again... However, the Northeast Field Army's

The appetite is a bit too much. In the entire Liaoyuan area, our army has accumulated hundreds of thousands of garrison troops. With their strength of more than 60,000, they cannot be our opponent even if they attack from both front and rear..."

"Chief of Staff, immediately convey my order: order the Liaoyuan garrison troops to prepare to meet the enemy. At the same time, send a telegram back to the two field divisions that are reinforcing the Tongliao area, and immediately dispatch a brigade of troops to return to Siping, threatening

Siping area, Northeast Field Army's retreat..." General Mizu Umejiro gave a firm order to the combat sand table in front of him.

"Your Excellency, Commander, this is a telegram just sent by the two field divisions that are reinforcing Tongliao. The troops have been besieged by at least one corps of the Northeast Field Army and are temporarily unable to escape..." Lieutenant General Toshima Botaro took out a telegram,

A kind reminder.

"Forget it... If we cannot threaten the Northeast Field Army's retreat in the Siping area and make them worry, we can only think of ways to strengthen the defense around the headquarters. Immediately send a telegram to the garrison in the Jilin area and order

The Jilin garrison troops will immediately mobilize a field division to return to support Changchun..." General Mizu Umejiro continued to order.

"Ha Yi, your Excellency, Commander, is a wise man. I am humble enough to go and give the order right away..."

In the eyes of General Mizu Umejiro, the two main divisions of the Higashino Third Army suddenly appeared behind the Lianyuan Kwantung Army garrison. It must be to cooperate with the frontline troops, carry out internal and external pincer attacks, and completely annihilate hundreds of thousands of Kwantung troops in the Liaoyuan area.

Military troops.

In fact, this is not the case. As the commander-in-chief, Liu Hua clearly knows that with the existing forces at hand, it is almost an impossible task to completely annihilate the hundreds of thousands of elite Kwantung Army troops in the Liaoyuan area and capture the entire Liaoyuan area.

As for Liu Hua's specific purpose of doing this, it is very simple, that is, to fully mobilize the Japanese troops in the Changchun area and annihilate a large number of Japanese troops in mobile warfare. As long as through this decisive battle, a large number of the Kwantung Army's troops can be wiped out, allowing the Kwantung Army to temporarily

If you don't have the ability to launch a new round of encirclement and suppression operations against your base area, even if you give up the Siping area you just occupied, it is still a very worthwhile thing...
