"Mr. Lu, today is the third day. Should I fight or not?" Liu Gang, who was impatient, had already come over to fight more than once. More than 15,000 troops surrounded Meihekou Town on three sides. Even if he didn't attack, he would almost make people anxious..././

"Captain Liu, why are you anxious? Mr. Lu knows it." Lin Nan laughed. He didn't worry about that. He was not vague when he should fight. When he should not fight, he should rest when he should practice.

"Old Liu, be calm!" Lu Shan said in a deep voice.

"Mr. Lu, now is a good opportunity to eat the 9th Division of the Japanese Army. When the Japanese reinforcements arrive, there will be no chance." Bao Jinghua frowned slightly. He didn't understand why Lu Shan surrounded him and did not attack. He even let go of the opening in the west to facilitate the Japanese army to withdraw at any time.

"Don't make random guesses. Mr. Lu has his own plans!" Zhai Lequan said.

"Report!"

"Is there any news?"

"Yes, General Lu, the Anti-Japanese War rescue ** Feng Zhanhai's troops agreed to accept the reorganization of our troops, and more than 4,000 people under their command were organized into a brigade, with the number being the 10th Brigade of the East Column. After receiving some of our troops' weapons and ammunition, they will be on standby at any time!" Zhou Yubin said loudly.

"Okay, where is the location of the Ninth Brigade now?" Lu Shan asked.

"Renovation in Jiaohe Town!"

"Well, I order to form an attack cluster with the Ninth and Tenth Brigades, the 1st Agricultural Reclamation Division, the 1st Construction Division, and the 102nd Cavalry Regiment, a mountain artillery battalion and an infrasual artillery battalion to target Jilin!" Lu Shan ordered loudly.

"Yes!" Zhai Lequan's cells all over his body were trembling with excitement. It turned out that Lu Shan's target was not the remnants of the Ninth Division, but Jilin City.

Bao Jinghua and others also suddenly realized that they surrounded the remnants of the 9th Division, which was to lure the Japanese army to rescue them, and took the opportunity to attack Jilin City.

Jilin is less than 100 kilometers away from Changchun, the capital of the puppet Manchukuo. If Jilin is captured, it will pose a huge threat to Changchun. The Japanese should panic.

In addition to attacking Jilin, Lu Shan also issued an order to go north. Wang Delin's 2nd Construction Division went north to attack Hailin, Han Zhen's 3rd Construction Division attacked Longjing, Hunchun and other places, recruited bandit armed forces and wiped out Japanese and puppet forces. All the Japanese and puppet forces in these places were uprooted.

The 2nd Construction Division also headed north under the leadership of Wang Fengqi, the acting division commander, and entered Dunhua and Antu.

In this way, before the Japanese army could react, the war had already burned into their actual control area!

This is the strategy of Lushan’s southern line shrinking and the northern line expanding northward!

Japan has a powerful navy. This is an indisputable fact. They can mobilize large troops from their homeland and come from the sea at any time. The Japanese army from the North Korean side can also cross the Yalu River to harass and attack the East Zong!

Lu Shan’s target is not Jilin. Jilin is not of great value, but controlling Jilin is equivalent to threatening Changchun at any time. It is like a thorn stuck in his throat, unable to swallow it, and unable to vomit it.

The Japanese army must have deployed heavy troops in Changchun, so that they would have to force the Japanese army to garrison from Heilongjiang again.

To put it bluntly, this is another strategy of "speaking the east and attacking the west".

Even if the Japanese army knew that Dongzong wanted to do this, he had no choice. If he did not transfer troops back to defense, Dongzong would attack Changchun with the opportunity. How to fight, the initiative is in Lu Shan's hands!

Moreover, this battle must be fought quickly and quickly, and the Japanese army will be caught off guard to achieve the best results!

To conquer Jilin, this is already the limit of the current war potential of the Dongzong. If you fight further down, the Dongzong's equipment and ammunition reserves are not enough.

There is also the necessary defense left behind. The Dongzong seems to have won one after another, but in fact the shortcomings have been exposed!

It’s just that the Japanese army was so shocked that they were not aware of it yet!

The series of battles in the East Column have consumed almost 80% of the material reserves and two-thirds of the ammunition reserves. Even if the battlefield is seized and replenished, it will not be more consumed.

In modern warfare, money and food are all fought. Without supplies and ammunition, Lu Shan, a clever woman, could not cook without rice.

Jilin is the old nest of Xiqia, the location of the Jilin Garrison Command of the Puppet Manchukuo State. It is also the provincial capital of the Puppet Jilin Province. It is naturally prosperous. Although it is not as prosperous as first-tier cities such as Fengtian and Harbin, it is always much more prosperous than ordinary small county towns.

Lu Shan is now a bandit leader. He will not move the people's things, but he will move them without hesitation!

In order to enrich the power of the Dongzong, he was not afraid even if he was criticized by thousands of people!

The traitor Yu Shencheng guarded Jilin. This guy was the commander-in-chief of Jilin's bandit suppression. This time he attacked Dongzong with the 9th Division, which was his army. However, in the battle with Qin Shiyu, this guy suffered heavy losses and suffered heavy losses.

In addition, the remnants of the 19th Regiment also returned to Jilin, and Major General Jing Shu, the commander of the 18th Brigade of the Japanese army, was also slightly injured.

On the afternoon of the 31st, Major General Hattori Jiro led reinforcements to Meihekou Town and met with the remnants of the 9th Division.

After the reinforcements arrived, the Chief of Staff of the 9th Division, Tashi Ichiro Tashi, who had been in a coma for three days, also woke up.

Hattori Jiro took over Suda Yoshiiichiro and became the commander-in-chief of the Japanese Army in Meikawakou.

Originally, Kenyoshi Ueda, the commander of the 9th Division, was going to come here in person, but as soon as he arrived in Xinjing, the amputation wound was a little inflamed and had a high fever, so he was unable to come.

The Kwantung Army Command appointed the acting chief of staff to serve the Jiro Provisional Ninth Division to command the Japanese army in Meihekou Town!

There were more than 4,000 Japanese soldiers and more than 1,000 wounded soldiers at Meihekou. Now, reinforcements from Hattori Jiro arrived, and the troops suddenly reached nearly 10,000!

The strength has increased greatly!

Hattori Jiro was also eager to make achievements. Since he was here, how could he not fight with the Chinese?

The East Zong also built fortifications on the east bank of Huifa River, Wujianfang and other places, which were high and low, crisscrossed, like a spider web.

In the early morning of August 1, the Japanese army launched the attack first, with a very fierce attack. It is worthy of being a new force and has never suffered any hardship under Dong Zong.

After more than an hour of fierce fighting, the Japanese army dropped more than 150 bodies and hurriedly retreated to the west bank of the Huifa River.

The Dongzong suffered a lot of losses, but it was conducive to defense, with less than 50 casualties.

As the Japanese army retreated to the west coast, Lu Shan did not order a pursuit.

"What's going on with the Chinese? They could attack before, but they didn't. Now they just forced us to retreat to the west bank and then stopped their troops. Could it be that they didn't want to capture the mouth of Meihe River?" Hattori Jiro asked Major General Akiyama beside him strangely.

"The Chinese people have many tricks, and I don't know what their purpose is!" Major General Akiyama gritted his teeth and said that his Sixth Brigade had lost more than half of his attack on the East Column this time. Moreover, the Seventh Regiment was wiped out, which was simply the most shameful time in the history of Sino-Japanese war.

If he had known that the 7th Regiment flag was hung on the head of the Lushan Command and used to wipe his feet every day, he might have been like Tashiyo Wanichiro. He would have been unconscious after vomiting blood!

Speaking of which, Lu Shan was still very happy to seize a complete Japanese army flag.

But after a while of happiness, he felt that nothing was wrong. Since he could seize the first side, there would be a second side and a third side!

Then, except for the special meaning of the first side, there is probably no meaning. Later, when washing your feet, I didn’t find the foot cloth. I pulled this gang flag at random.

He didn't notice it at that time. After finishing wiping his feet, he realized that he had used this flag as a wiping step.

"Monk, you bastard, I'll ask your foot cloth to scoop the flag to make?" Lu Shan was furious at the time.

"Hehe, Mr. Lu, this broken flag cannot be eaten or worn, so it's better to pull it as a foot cloth for your brothers!"

"You loser monk. This is a military flag, can you use it as a foot cloth?" Lu Shan cursed in anger.

"Isn't it just the Japanese military flag? I'll just make another one for you next time, monk." Yang Shangwu muttered.

"Okay, monk, what you said. If you don't get another Japanese corps flag for me, you'll wait for me to peel off your skin and make a flag!" Lu Shan said fiercely.

"Okay. As long as you are willing to let it go!" Yang Shangwu laughed, picked up the foot wash, and ran away in an instant.

Lu Shan held the 7th Regiment's gang flag in his hand, feeling amused and crying!

Although it was an unintentional mistake, the seventh wing flag was "defiled". Although Lu Shan only used it to wipe his feet once, this story later spread and the Japanese hated him to the core, and many people were because of this.

Lu Shan is not a person who likes to promote. He did not announce the matter of seizing the gang flag to the public. Anyway, there is no need to show off his victory.

"Hatbet, I heard that the above intentionally wanted to talk to the Chinese army. Is there such a thing?" Major General Akiyama asked in a low voice.

"I have heard of it, but the opinions above are still inconsistent now. We are soldiers and have no orders, so we have to continue fighting!" Hattori Jiro said.

"Their fortifications are very well built, and the light and heavy firepower combination is perfect. It seems that their commanders are not ordinary people, they must have received formal military education!" said Major General Akiyama.

"Well, Akiyama-kun, do you understand your enemies?"

"Hathogawa, to be honest, I don't know them. The information given by the intelligence department is too wide. Their organization is very tight. It is very difficult to spy on their intelligence. I really don't know how they did it." Major General Akiyama said.

"A unfamiliar opponent, this battle is not easy to fight. The headquarters obviously launched a wrong war at a wrong time!" Hattori Jiro said.

"Hatbet, there is no need to say that, if the Chinese people are allowed to develop, they will one day become the empire's biggest concern!"

"They are already a big trouble for the empire. They defeated our two elite divisions and achieved brilliant results, but now we have no better way to do this." Hattori Jiro.

"What does Hattori mean?" Akiyama asked.

"I was wondering why they didn't attack three days ago. With their troops several times my strength, it would probably not be too difficult to capture Meikawakou!" Hattori Jiro said thoughtfully.

"That would also cost a huge price. The honor of the Ninth Division cannot be defiled!" Qiushan said loudly with a blushing face.

"You just said that the Chinese are very cunning. Will they have other purposes?" asked Hattori Jiro. "Did they have any abnormal changes in these three days, such as the transfer of troops, increase or decrease?"

Qiuyama recalled carefully and said, "No!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support is my greatest motivation.)
