Chapter 595: Attacking Assimilation City? ?
Beidingyuan.
"Find out the previous information about Assimilation City." Lin Tianchen not only scanned the map.
Zhang Danwu's face paused, but he immediately started looking in the information, and after a moment, he began to introduce.
"Tonghua City borders Goryeo to the south and the Songliao Plain to the north. It has rich mineral resources and is the main control city for the Pyeongchu Warehouse..."
"Tonghua City is only separated from Goryeo by a river. It was the main springboard for the Japanese invaders to invade. They have a large number of military bases there. The city is a mixed bag, and on the surface, the city is under the control of the Manchus..."
"..."
After the introduction, Zhang Shanwu was a little confused
"Commander, this Assimilation City..."
"Attack here..." Lin Tianchen has his own judgment on the current situation in the three northeastern provinces.
If the Japanese were allowed to go south and reach Tonghua City, the pressure would be much greater than if they were allowed to reach Bingcheng.
Tonghua City is backed by Goryeo, and relying on the coastal area, it not only has the support of naval forces, but also can land at sea. He still has lingering fears about Jincheng's maritime smuggling.
Lin Tianchen absolutely did not want to put himself in that situation again. Now he did not have the conditions to fight at sea. Now that he was gradually gaining the advantage, Lin Tianchen could not be careless. He had to fight to death and not give them any chance to breathe.
"Attack Tonghua City?" Zhang Shanwu was slightly stunned, but he reacted instantly. The Japanese had a complete industry in the Goryeo region, and there was a Japanese military port on the coast, which was only separated from the Japanese headquarters by a strait.
Winning the assimilation battle is equivalent to cutting off more than half of the Japanese's escape routes in the three northeastern provinces. This is no longer a simple Battle of Spring City... but is truly about blocking the Japanese's future evacuation routes.
The previous attack on Tonghua City could only be described as a delay, but this time, it was completely to cut off the Japanese's retreat.
They wanted to force the Japanese to move the battle northward, form a confrontation, and even force the Japanese to fight a life-and-death battle with them!
Zhang Shanwu thought a lot at this moment. At the beginning of the Northern Expedition, the army was isolated and deep in the mountains and forests, where they were surrounded and bombed. Now they are planning the burial place for the little ghosts.
Even though the number of troops was smaller than that of the Japanese, the commander of the battle was Lin Tianchen. The three words "Lin Tianchen" were very important. Not to mention in the Northern Expedition troops, but also in the entire country and among the Japanese, only he knew how much weight these three words "Lin Tianchen" carried.
Zhang Shanwu originally thought that the Chuncheng Battle had enough advantages, and he was preparing to choose a battlefield next, but he did not think about finding a burial place for the Japanese devils.
This also made him unable to control his gaze, staring at the location of Assimilation City.
"Let the fifth regiment withdraw from the Beidingyuan battlefield to rest, the third regiment come from Shengjing, and the two regiments move towards Tonghua City at the same time." Lin Tianchen quickly issued the order.
Troops must be deployed to hold Tonghua City, not only to cut off the Japanese's retreat route, but also because this was the place the Japanese used as a springboard more than a decade ago.
"Yes!" Zhang Shanwu straightened his body and left after receiving the order.
As artillery fire continued to sound around him, Lin Tianchen's eyes became deep and he took a deep breath.
The cold air entering his lungs made his mind clear, and finally Lin Tianchen murmured.
"It's time to end the battle in Beidingyuan..."
On the battlefield of Beidingyuan, the roar of tanks became less and less, but the smoke of gunpowder continued to cover the sky.
When Qingye Sanshiwu's eyes fell on the plain, he felt a pang of pain in his heart.
This is not just the pain of the physical wound, but the pain comes from the heart.
"Lin Tianchen..." Qingye Sanshiwu said gritting his teeth. Of the more than 200 tanks at the beginning, only about 30 are left now.
At this moment, piles of black debris stood on the plain. The flames had subsided, but some were still emitting black smoke.
At first glance, it looks like a bonfire formed by black iron blocks piled together.
The Imperial tank became scrap metal at this moment.
The empty plain has a unique charm because of these clusters of black iron standing there. From a distance, this is the graveyard of tanks.
Smoke filled the air from the battlefield, making the entire plain look like a sandbox. The wreckage of tanks occupied the spots, and the smoke formed flags.
All around, the bodies of numerous soldiers were scattered around the tank, exposed in the wilderness.
It is a tank cemetery and a mass grave.
The sounds of fighting continued, but Qingye Sanshiwu felt powerless, from the absolute crushing at the beginning to the passive defense now.
Now he could only hope that the bomber that had caused them so much harm would not come.
"Sir, the enemy's right wing attack has been delayed, and a unit is withdrawing from the battlefield."
Just as Kiyono Sanshigo was looking at the sky vigilantly, Suzuki Ono's solemn voice came from the side.
He held a telescope in his hand and his expression suddenly became extremely solemn as he looked at Qingye Sanshiwu who was lying on a custom-made stretcher. Although the withdrawal of one troop reduced the pressure on his front, if he could not grasp the offensive intention of this troop, it might lead to their defeat on the front battlefield faster.
"Retreat?" Qingye Sanshiwu was very clear that when fighting with Lin Tianchen, he couldn't just stare at what was in front of him.
Just like a steep slope, if Lin Tianchen had not sent troops to penetrate them, or if they had prevented that terrifying force from penetrating, the battle situation would not have collapsed so quickly.
So after hearing that a unit of the Tiger Guards Brigade had left, he was filled with vigilance.
"Your Excellency..." Suzuki Ono obviously also figured out this point.
"Find out where they went?" Qingye Sanshiwu's tone was more serious than before.
The sudden transfer of the Tiger Brigade filled Qingye Sanwu with doubts.
"It seems to be heading south." Suzuki Ono said with a serious look.
"To the south..." Shanye Sanshiwu murmured softly.
After a short period of thinking, beads of sweat covered his forehead, and his already pale face looked even paler.
If his previous impression of Lin Tianchen was just his victories and he knew that this person was very strong, then now as his opponent standing on the battlefield, any slight movement made him nervous.
After all, he had personally witnessed the transformation from an armored division that was once powerful enough to sweep across any battlefield in this land to the remaining thirty-odd tanks today.
Until now, he still felt like he was dreaming! A dream he wanted to wake up from immediately.
Qingye Sanshiwu finally thought for a long time and said in a low voice:
"Telegraph headquarters, a Tiger Brigade originally stationed in Beiding has been mobilized and is heading south..." Qingye Sanshiwu said in a serious tone.
"Yes.."
