"The 14th Japanese Division, code name: Zhao (top secret within the Japanese army). Japan has one of the 17 A-type divisions. At the end of the Russo-Japanese War in 1905, in order to increase the front-line troop strength, the Japanese Army formed four new divisions, and the 14th Division was one of them!

The division was formed in Utsunomiya on July 6, 1905, so it is also called Utsunomiya Division. It is currently the division commander of the division, Lieutenant General Matsuki Naoki, and is under its jurisdiction. The 27th Infantry Brigade (the previous article may have been misled, I'm sorry), the 28th Infantry Brigade, the 4th Cavalry Regiment, etc., with a total force of about 24,000 people...

{}

The 27th Infantry Brigade is under the jurisdiction of...

The above is the introduction to the situation of our largest Japanese army at present. What do you think?" On the 13th, Lu Shan returned to Tonghua and held a military meeting in Tonghua. Except for the generals who resisted the Japanese attack on the front line, basically all other brigades and regiment-level and above military cadres arrived.

"The Japanese army is coming in full force. I think we should avoid its edge, take the initiative to retreat, and put the Japanese army in and attack!" Zhang Yihu, deputy commander of the 1st brigade of the 1st brigade of the Education Brigade, influenced by Lu Shan.

"It's not appropriate. If the Japanese army is brought in, what will the people think of us?" Li Chunrun opposed.

"Yes, the Japanese army is cruel. Thinking about the tragedy in Pingdingshan, this time they suffered such a big loss, they will definitely take revenge wildly. If we withdraw, what should the people do?" Ying Ruoyu also expressed disagreement.

"In terms of military strength, we are not inferior to Japan, but in terms of strength, we still have a big gap. If we fight for position defense, how much chance of winning are we going?" Qin Shiyu asked a question.

"This is not easy to estimate. Although we are not as good as the soldiers, we are still sufficient food and ammunition." Sun Mingchen said.

"Mr. Lu, we have guns now, can we expand it?" Lin Zhenqing of the Eighth Brigade asked a question that many people want to ask.

"It is OK to expand, but it is better to have nothing than to be too bad!" Lu Shan nodded. A new group of grassroots officers of the Northeast Army greatly enhanced the grassroots command capabilities of the East Column, and these people were required to enrich some of them to enter the original troops, and the rest was only one way to expand.

Seeing Lu Shan nodding in agreement to expand, a smile appeared on everyone's faces, and he did not take the upcoming battle to heart.

"Mr. Lu. What is the specific organization?"

"At present, although we have seized a large number of weapons and ammunition from the enemy, enough for us to equip tens of thousands of troops, we will suffer a large part of the war in the upcoming war, and the war is not more than people. Therefore, this time I only plan to increase the organization of four to six regiments!" Lu Shan said slowly.

"Only six groups?"

"Two of the regiment numbers have been given to the newly established Ninth Brigade!"

"Ninth Brigade?"

"When did we have another Ninth Brigade?"

"It was adapted from the original Advance Detachment of the East Column North. It has incorporated guerrillas from Antu, Longjing, Yanji and Hunchun counties, the mountain forest team and bandit armed forces, brigade commander Wang Rong and deputy brigade commander Zhang Guanyi. Come and stand up and get to know everyone!" Lu Shan pointed his hand at Wang Rong and Zhang Guanyi.

The two stood up together, first salute everyone, then introduced themselves, and then sat down together!

"In addition, Zhang Guanyi also served as the security commander of Antu Military Airport. Now we have anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft guns, and we have formed an anti-aircraft gun battalion and an anti-aircraft machine gun battalion. Each battalion has two companies, stationed at our two major airports respectively!

Lu Shan felt a little uncomfortable when he got off the airport. They all flew into the sky, but in the end they landed less than 70%.

Thirty young lives have not yet bloomed with brilliant flowers, but have sprinkled their blood on the sky of the motherland!

Although this is already a very good result, it still makes people feel uncomfortable and distressed!

Some of them did not even leave a whole body. Some turned into dust directly in the sky, but their spirit of giving their precious life for the freedom of the country and the nation deeply inspired the hearts of countless soldiers in the East Zong!

They are martyrs and national heroes!

Fortunately, they all left their lives and photos, which gave future generations a target to express grief.

Lu Shan ordered to find a beautiful Feng Shui treasure land near Tonghua Airport and buried them there!

"Isn't that the organization of only four regiments left?"

"Just just have a military division and a regiment, it's fair and reasonable!" someone suggested.

"This method is good, not favor one or the other, fair and just!"

"Mr. Lu, what do you mean?" Ying Ruoyu turned his eyes to Lu Shan. He was the one who finally decided to make the decision. Without him, the following proposals can only be.

"I plan to abolish the Qingliu Military Sub-district, divide it into two, merge with the Liaonan Military Sub-district and the Northern Group, and form a new Southern Group and Northern Group!" Lu Shan said slowly.

As soon as this proposal came out, everyone was a little surprised, but many generals with long-term eyes showed a deep expression of thought.

"What about the Yalujiang Military Sub-district?"

"Yalujiang Military Sub-district remains unchanged for the time being!" Lu Shan said calmly, "I have considered the establishment of the four regiments, and add one regiment to the Yalujiang Military Sub-district, and all the rest will be given to the Southern Group!"

"ah?"

"The pressure on the Southern Group will face greater than that of the Northern Group, so this time the expansion of the symptoms gave the Southern Group. Moreover, the Northern Group has added a 9th Brigade this time, and there are already two regiments in place, so the Northern Group does not need it!" Lu Shan explained.

This is fair and reasonable. Moreover, the Liaonan Military Region is under great pressure now. Faced with the huge pressure of tens of thousands of Japanese and puppet troops, it is natural to increase the strength of the Southern Group.

"About the division of the Qingliu Military Sub-district, Commander Li had a communication before this, and decided to allocate Sun Mingchen's 2nd Brigade and Guo Jingshan's 4th Brigade to the Southern Group. After the First Brigade and the Fourth Brigade were replaced, join the Northern Group!"

"About the expansion indicators of the three regiments of the Southern Group, all of which are given to the front-line troops, Su Kun's Second Education Brigade, Deng Tiemei's Seventh Brigade, and Huang Yuzhou's Fifth Brigade!"

No one has any objection to this assignment. Except for Su Kun's 2nd Brigade, Huang Yuzhou's 5th Brigade and Deng Tiemei's 7th Brigade were all fighting fiercely with the Japanese, and even the military meeting was absent this time.

This is actually a triangle formation that Lu Shan thought about still created. Anyone who has learned geometry knows that triangles are more stable than quadrilaterals. According to the terrain, the defensive line in the east longitudinal is exactly very similar to a triangle.

After adjustment and expansion, the Southern Group will have five brigades of troops, with a total force of 30,000. It can basically be comparable to the 14th Division of the Japanese Army!

In addition, Lu Shan also plans to assign He Shili's artillery regiment to the Southern Group. After equipping nearly forty artillery out of the arsenal with the artillery brigade, in terms of heavy firepower, even though the Southern Group is not as good as the 14th Division of the Japanese Army, it is not much different!

According to Lu Shan’s vision, Benxi, Fengcheng and Dandong are the first line of defense. Dandong is now lost, but Huang Yuzhou has suffered little loss and is still fighting against the Japanese army in Jiuliancheng. The second line of defense is Qingyuan, Xinbin and Huan Ren.

Lu Shan was mentally prepared to be broken through a line of defense. He even had the idea of ​​putting the Japanese army in and fighting.

But the second line of defense cannot be easily abandoned.

His idea in the past was to find a remote place that the Japanese could not reach to develop for a few years, and then fight with the Japanese when they became stronger.

However, the more remote the place is, the less populated it is. Even if various resources are found, the difficulty of mining is very great, let alone no one can develop.

So he changed his mind. Tonghua was close to the border between China and North Korea, and was a major political and economic center in the Liaodong region. In history, Japanese imperialism finally wanted to use the triangle area centered on Tonghua to fight against the Soviet Red Army, struggling dyingly. But it failed in the end!

But the situation when Japan was defeated was different from its current situation!

The Soviet Red Army was so powerful in the late period in history that it was impossible to compare with the current Kwantung Army. If it were to build a solid and permanent anti-Japanese base with Tonghua as the center, it might not be impossible to block the Japanese attack, and there would be no problem in developing and growing.

Moreover, Tonghua has convenient transportation between east, west, south and north, and is backed by Changbai Mountain. Even if it is not as good as the Japanese army, it can retreat to the deep mountains and forests of Shangbai Mountain to fight guerrillas with the Japanese army!

This is the worst result.

After the military meeting was held, Lu Shan proposed to convene a meeting of the Supreme Military Commission. Qin Shiyu, Guo Jingshan and other brigade commanders attended the meeting.

"The newly established Southern Group and Northern Group will each establish a front-line command to unify the defense and combat of the two major military groups!" Qin Shiyu announced that this was something they had communicated in advance. The so-called military meeting was mainly an enemy situation report, and it was also announcing the expansion and adjustment of military deployment. As for listening to the following opinions, there would naturally be no need to change without opinions!

"What do you think of the front-line commander of the Southern Group? Can anyone recommend it if you choose?" Lu Shan threw two packs of cigarettes to Zhai Lequan and signaled him to send it.

Those who serve in the army basically have an indissoluble bond with cigarettes and alcohol, especially the commanders. There are a few who are not old cigarette guns and alcoholics. However, the military discipline and rules are in place, and drinking requires moderation in daily life. Smoking is not restricted, and it will be prohibited unless it is banned in military operations to prevent smoking from exposing the target.

After walking around two packs of cigarettes, they were basically empty.

"The commander-in-chief of the Liaonan Military Sub-district has always been Deputy Chief Lei. I think no one except him can hold back the front line!" Ying Ruoyu said first.

"I also agree with Deputy General Lei to point out in front of others!" Sun Mingchen responded in the second time. He had worked under Lei Dong's hands, so he naturally supported it!

"Huang Xinghan's military command ability is obvious to all. I think it is also appropriate for him to come to the current command!" Guo Jingshan suggested.

"Xinghan called, he wouldn't be the front-line!" Ying Ruoyu said, and he knew the thoughts of Guo Jingshan and others. Although Dong Zong was a family, the competition between the Dong Zong and the generals of the former Self-Defense Army was still very powerful!

However, although the generals of the Self-Defense Army came from the Northeast Army and surpassed the original generals of the Eastern Region in terms of qualifications and experience, seeing these young descendants one by one, the older generation seemed a little unwilling to give up and wanted to prove their abilities. So what they fought for was not the power in their hands, but an opportunity to prove themselves!

Others don’t act like this anymore, and others don’t have the right to force it. And it seems that except for Huang Yuzhou, who can compete with Lei Dong, no one else has the qualifications.

"No one has any other candidates. We will decide Lei Dong when we refer to this Southern Group!" Lu Shan said slowly.

Everyone nodded.

"Then Huang Yuzhou and Deng Tiemei serve as the first and second deputy front-line commanders respectively, and Guo Jingshan serves as the chief of staff!"

The commander-in-chief of the Northern Group didn't have to discuss it at all. Lu Shan would definitely serve as the front commander, followed by Tang Juwu and Qin Shiyu, Ying Ruoyu as the chief of staff, and Li Chunrun as the deputy chief. As soon as this came out, it would basically be passed.

The Japanese army was fierce and looked like they would not turn back if they did not destroy the East Zong. The 14th Division was worthy of being an elite division that came down from the Shanghai battlefield with the G Army. Its combat effectiveness was even higher than that of the Kwantung Army!

Moreover, the 14th Division was not affected by the morale of the Kwantung Army's defeated some time ago. It was so morale that it gave Dong Zong a certain amount of force as soon as it started fighting.

The 27th Brigade was coming in full force. The 2nd Regiment joined the Matsuda Brigade and captured Dandong, which Huang Yuzhou defended by nearly 5,000 troops!

After the Japanese army occupied Dandong, they attacked Jiuliancheng, which Huang Yuzhou retreated several times, but did not achieve the results of the next battle. The two sides fought fiercely for several days in a few kilometers between Jiuliancheng and Dandongcheng.

The Japanese army was supporting the endless supply, and Huang Yuzhou also received support from a batch of ammunition and food that Su Kun seized from Liaoyang City, as well as eight artillery pieces!

With ammunition and drug supplies, Huang Yuzhou certainly was unwilling to retreat sadly, commanding the troops to repeatedly compete for positions with the Japanese army, and the number of casualties on both sides increased sharply!

Colonel Ishiguro Sadazusa, the captain of the 2nd Regiment of the Japanese, did not expect that the team of ** was defeated one after another in Shanghai, but encountered a tough problem here.

The battle in Fengcheng was also very fierce. Although Deng Tiemei's troops had experienced many battles, they were all fighting. This time, after the Luo Chengbao blocking battle, they grew up quickly, especially the two regiments of Xu Tong and Miao Kexiu, who were both tough guys who dared to fight and fight. After replenishing some of the puppet soldiers, their combat effectiveness recovered very quickly!

Although Liu Jingwen's army also had a lot of people, he suddenly changed from fighting against Japan to a traitor, and many people were unwilling to follow him to fight with Dongzong!

Therefore, as soon as the troops arrived in Fengcheng, they became deserters and carried guns and ammunition. In just a few days, his three thousand troops shrank by half. On the contrary, the three regiments under Deng Tiemei fought more and more!
