Predator Reborn

Chapter 691: Knocking on the Mountain to Shock the Tiger

Qingyuan County is less than 80 kilometers away from Meihekou City. Because the entire county is on the railway transportation line, and in addition, the entire Qingyuan County is like a nail, firmly nailed between Meihekou and the CCP base area.

The center is not only responsible for the security of the southern gate of Meihekou, a transportation hub, but also plays a role in curbing the northward development trend of the Northeast Field Army.

Faced with such an important military point, although the entire Qingyuan County was just a small county with a population of less than 20,000 people and a garrison of less than 1,000 troops a few months ago. However, in order to prepare for it, the momentum is getting louder and louder.

The Northeast Field Army. The cautious Kwantung Army, however, placed two infantry brigades totaling more than 2,500 elite Kwantung Army troops here. As for the Manchurian Army troops that assisted in the defense, they had an entire reorganized division.

, a total of more than 3,000 people.

Coupled with the "shrink defense" order issued by the Kwantung Army Headquarters more than a month ago, nearly a thousand Japanese and puppet troops scattered in various strongholds in Qingyuan County have all shrunk into the county. At this moment, the entire county garrison,

It has reached an unprecedented number of 7,000 people.

It can be said that the entire Yuanping County, due to the addition of more than 7,000 puppet troops, immediately changed from an inconspicuous small county to the military fortress it is today.

Facing a heavily defended military fortress and the enemy and our own armies, after more than a month of peaceful military confrontation, the entire county, from the commander of the regiment, Colonel Song Ping, to an ordinary puppet soldier, was there.

Consciously, I slowly relaxed my vigilance.

However, this kind of relaxation was broken by a sharp gunshot early this morning.

Just when it was dawning, the entire Qingyuan County slowly revealed its outline. On the city wall, a puppet soldier in charge of patrolling suddenly discovered that in the wilderness about one mile away from the city wall,

I don't know when, a huge trench appeared. As for the trench, there were countless soldiers, waving the engineering shovels in their hands, and quickly piled up the soil in front of the trench, preparing to use it as a bunker.

use.

"Company Commander, something happened, there is a situation ahead..."

Facing the sudden emergency, as an ordinary patrolman, after a brief shock, he rushed into the gate tower desperately and woke up the sleeping company commander.

After seeing the shocking scene in front of him through the telescope, as a small company commander who joined the puppet army just to make a living, he immediately sent a platoon of soldiers to attack, hoping to find out the specific situation and then report it.

However, what he didn't expect was that a platoon of dozens of soldiers had just left the city in less than two minutes. As a burst of sporadic gunfire rang out, they immediately fell into a pool of blood, motionless.

More than thirty Manchurian soldiers, with just one round of rifle fire, none of them escaped the net, and they were all turned into corpses. This made the puppet company commander guarding the city wall stunned, and at the same time, he was also severely shocked.

It touched the hearts of all the puppet soldiers on the city wall.

And this is the effect Liu Hua needs. Liu Hua, the commander-in-chief of this battle, wants to use the lives of more than thirty puppet soldiers to severely damage the morale of the puppet troops in the city. Then, let these puppet troops,

In the upcoming siege battle during the day, I do not have enough morale and confidence to fight against myself...

Outside the city, the piercing sound of gunfire was like a thunderclap, waking up the entire Japanese and puppet troops in Qingyuan County. Just as the captain of the regiment was in panic and had just put on his military uniform, a staff officer came.

He rushed into the room with a look of panic.

"Your Excellency, Captain, something has happened. According to the report of the defending troops, large-scale Chinese troops appeared on all sides of the city wall. Because the weather is too dark, the total strength of the troops is unknown. However, what is certain is that the entire Qingyuan County has been attacked by the Chinese.

Surrounded…”

"Snapped…."

As soon as the combat staff officer finished speaking, perhaps out of fear, the commander's command knife that he had just held in his hand fell heavily to the ground because it was no longer restrained by his hand.

After a few minutes of shock, the captain slowly regained his composure. He immediately stared at a pair of murderous eyes and roared loudly at the staff officer in front of him.

"What are you still doing? Order the county security headquarters to immediately impose martial law on the entire county. All combat troops will immediately enter a state of combat readiness and be ready to fight at any time. Inform the city defense troops to increase vigilance. In addition, be sure to find out as soon as possible

The total strength of the Chinese troops outside the city...will go immediately to convey the order..."

"Ha Yi, your Excellency the captain..."

Seeing the combat staff leaving quickly, the commander did not dare to show any signs of neglect. He picked up the command knife that fell on the ground and walked quickly towards the brightly lit war room not far away.

"Chief of Staff, how is the situation outside the city now? Do the Chinese troops outside the city have any tendency to launch an attack immediately..." Before entering the war room, the commander of the company was standing in front of the map, frowning.

The chief of staff frowned and asked eagerly.

Facing the commander's question, at this moment, all the chief of staff could do, who also had no clue, was to shake his head helplessly. However, after answering another phone call, the chief of staff immediately walked to the huge

In front of the city defense map, he answered loudly to the commander in front of him.

"Captain, the current situation is not optimistic...According to the report of the South Gate city defense troops, our city defense troops, as a tentative attack, were all killed in just one round of rifle volley from the opponent, and no one escaped.

.It can be seen that the Chinese troops outside the city must be the elite troops of the Northeast Field Army..."

"Baga, the cunning Chinese... aren't they in a military confrontation with us now? Why did they suddenly attack us... The Kwantung Army Headquarters, why didn't they warn us in advance? Now, all our troops are gathered in Qingyuan

In the county town, as long as the Chinese fire even one artillery shell, we will suffer huge losses. Why is this happening..." Facing the chief of staff's answer, after another brief shock, the commander of the regiment, Colonel Song Ping, couldn't help but shout loudly.

roared.

Facing the angry look in front of him, the commander of the regiment who seemed to have lost his mind even dared to scold the Kwantung Army headquarters because of his anger. As the chief of staff of his subordinates, all he could do was to answer according to his words.

"Ha Yi, your Excellency the captain is right. However, now our Qingyuan County has been heavily surrounded by the Northeast Field Army. If we cannot come up with a countermeasure in time, there may be only one way left for us... Please

Your Excellency, Captain, please think twice and make a decision as soon as possible..."

Under the reminder of the chief of staff, the commander of the regiment, who was still angry just now, slowly woke up from his anger. He knew that at this moment, he had become the fat meat in the mouth of the Northeast Field Army. As long as the Northeast Field Army is willing

, he is in danger of being destroyed by his entire army at any time, and ends up being shattered for the empire.

The commander of the regiment, Colonel Song Ping, couldn't help but shudder. Then, a pair of eyes quickly glanced at the city defense map in front of him and said to the chief of staff in front of him.

"Chief of Staff, I have just issued a specific order. Next, we have to wait for specific news from the city defense force before we make the final decision..."

"Ha Yi, your Excellency the company captain is wise..."

Inside the temporary headquarters of the North-Eastern Field Army, which is about three kilometers outside Qingyuan County, I looked outside the tent at the increasingly brighter sky. Looking a few kilometers away, I could already vaguely see the outline of Qingyuan County. Vice President

Commander Yang Jingyu quickly walked into the tent and asked Liu Hua in front of him with a puzzled look on his face.

"Commander-in-Chief, why don't we take advantage of the darkness and launch an attack immediately to catch the enemy by surprise? If so, I believe that the casualties we have incurred during the entire battle will be very small. There is another problem. The entire Qingyuan

The county garrison has a total of 7,000 troops, but we only sent one main division to attack. Isn’t that a little short..."

After hearing Yang Jingyu's question, he saw puzzled looks on the faces of the senior commanders around him. A mysterious smile immediately appeared on Liu Hua's face, and then he pointed at the huge giant in front of him.

The map of the three eastern provinces said.

"Comrades, we need to take a longer view. Although a sudden attack on Qingyuan County can achieve unexpected results. However, the ultimate goal of our expedition is not only Qingyuan County, but the entire southeastern Jilin

, there are dozens of counties in size. In such a large area, if a county or even a town has to send troops to attack, how long will it take? Moreover, to recover these places, how many units will the limited troops in our hands be divided into...

?”

"Everyone is thinking about it, if we can rely on the strength of one division to occupy Qingyuan County in the shortest possible time in broad daylight without having a strength advantage, and completely wipe out the 7,000 garrison troops in the county. You guys

Tell me, if word of such a classic siege battle spreads, it will cause a huge stir in the entire three eastern provinces..."

Seeing everyone nodding thoughtfully, as if some people understood what he meant, Liu Hua continued.

"If we can pass this classic siege battle, we can severely attack all the Japanese and puppet troops in southeastern Jilin. If nothing else, under the powerful offensive of our army, the entire southeastern part of Jilin will have 40,000 to 50,000 Manchurian troops.

A soldier, after learning that he has been heavily surrounded by our army, will definitely surrender as long as he does not want to die..."

At this moment, the senior generals who can stand in the headquarters are, without exception, the elite generals of the entire Northeast Field Army. If at this time, under such a transparent explanation, you still cannot understand the intentions of Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua,

Then there's no need to stand here.

Just as Liu Hua finished speaking, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Yang Jingyu's eyes immediately flashed with a sharp look. Then, he said excitedly to Liu Hua in front of him.

"Commander-in-Chief, you mean to knock down the mountain and shake off the tiger. Through this siege battle, you will severely damage the morale of the Japanese and puppet troops in the three eastern provinces..."

"Yes, it means knocking the mountain to shake the tiger..." Liu Hua replied affirmatively. Then he asked Yang Jingyu in front of him.

"Lao Yang, immediately give an order to the Logistics Department, and ask the Logistics Department to get me a thousand leaflets within an hour. As for the general meaning of the leaflets, it is this: order the garrison in the city to disarm all within an hour.

Surrender, we can forget the blame. Otherwise, when the city is broken, all Japanese soldiers will be executed as war criminals. All Japanese expatriates will serve in hard labor for life. All puppet soldiers will be convicted of traitors and will serve in hard labor for life...', of course.

, the specific content will be prepared by the staff department. An hour later, these leaflets will be sent into the county with artillery shells..."

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief..."

"In addition, immediately use the radio to clearly communicate the news to all the Japanese and puppet troops in the entire three northeastern provinces that our Northeast Field Army is surrounding Qingyuan County, as well as the specific contents of the leaflets. I will let all the Japanese and puppet troops in the entire three northeastern provinces

, everyone knows the news..."

"Commander-in-Chief, I understand..." Yang Jingyu replied with a smile on his face.

Looking at Yang Jingyu who was leaving quickly, Liu Hua's eyes immediately shifted to Wang Nanhu, the commander of the Third Corps during the siege.

"Old Wang, I have just said the ultimate goal of this siege. Now I only need a word from you. Can we, with one main division and one artillery regiment, defeat less than 8,000 people within four hours?

We have the strength to break through Qingyuan County and annihilate all the garrison troops in the city. Of course, if we don’t have the ability, I will replace them immediately..."

"Commander-in-Chief, please rest assured and ensure that the mission is completed..."

"Currently, the most powerful 19th Division of our Third Corps is deployed around Qingyuan County. Together with the assistance of an artillery regiment, we guarantee that the battle will be resolved within four hours. However, during the battle, please be patient.

The commander can help deal with possible air reinforcements from the Japanese army..." After changing his clothes, Wang Nanhu, who was more confident in his combat effectiveness, answered with certainty without any hesitation.

"Okay, I'll help you with the air reinforcements from the Japs. However, if you can't resolve the battle within four hours, I will directly remove you from your post..." Liu Hua nodded and then ordered...

"Commander-in-Chief, please rest assured and ensure that the mission is completed..."

In Qingyuan County, the news that the entire county was heavily surrounded by the Northeast Field Army caused a huge panic. The Kwantung Army, the ruler of the entire county, stopped the panic after executing several puppet soldiers.

.However, not long after, nearly a thousand leaflets were scattered like snowflakes to every corner of the county, and the entire county was once again plunged into panic.

Especially among the thousands of puppet soldiers in the city, the morale of the troops can be said to be extremely low. Faced with the intimidation of the Northeast Field Army outside the city, many people have begun to prepare for their future...

"Bageya Road, the cunning Chinese... Chief of Staff, ordered the gendarmerie to immediately collect all leaflets in the city. In addition, a squadron of troops was sent to the Manchurian Army station immediately to prevent them from mutiny..." After reading the leaflet in his hand

Regarding the specific content, the commander with a livid face gave the order loudly without any hesitation.

"Ha Yi, your Excellency the captain..."

"In addition, the situation of the Chinese people outside the city has been investigated clearly. Immediately report to the Kwantung Army headquarters that our Qingyuan County town is besieged by a main division of the Northeast Field Army. Request reinforcements..." Colonel Song Ping continued to order.

In Qingyuan County, where the Manchurian Army is stationed, and in the division headquarters surrounded by heavy troops, the entire army, and commanders at regiment level and above, all gathered together because of the leaflets in their hands. They discussed the entire army, the future way out, and at this moment, everyone

choice.

"I believe everyone has read the leaflet issued by the Northeast Field Army outside the city. Everyone, let's talk about what our 37th Division should do next?" After glancing at all the subordinates in front of him, the division commander said, breaking the news inside the headquarters.

Dreary atmosphere.

"What's there to say? After more than a year of development, the Northeast Field Army has occupied the entire Liaoning region. Now, their tentacles have extended to Jilin again. If my guess is correct, this time, dozens of counties in the southeastern region of Jilin

, will become the possession of the Northeast Field Army. If you stay here and die together with the little devils, or serve in hard labor for life. It is better to fight for once. As far as I know, the treatment of the Northeast Field Army towards the uprising and puppet troops on the battlefield is very good.

Okay. I have a brother who, because of the uprising on the battlefield, is currently serving as a battalion commander in the Northeast Field Army, with more than 500 people under his command..."

"Commander, I agree with Commander Wang. Sooner or later, this Qingyuan County will be at the feet of the Northeast Field Army. Instead of waiting to die, it is better to fight for once, and maybe we can win a good future..." Another regimental commander

, said immediately after.

"Okay, since everyone agrees to fight once, let's fight for our own future... Now I order that after the meeting is over, each department will immediately prepare for combat. At the same time, all the Japanese instructors among the generals quietly gave me

Get rid of it."

Seeing everyone nodding in agreement, the division commander continued to order.

"There are only 3,000 Japs in the entire county. Excluding the more than 2,000 people guarding the city, there is at most one infantry group with less than 1,000 people in the county. But we have more than 3,000 people, and with sufficient ammunition, we are fully capable of dragging

The little Japs living in the city will coordinate with the Northeast Field Army outside the city to annihilate all Japanese troops in Qingyuan County..."

"An hour later, after the Northeast Field Army launched its attack outside the city, the three regiments immediately launched an attack on the Japanese military garrison headquarters, and then welcomed the Northeast Field Army outside the city into the city..."

"It's...sir..."
