Zhang Yunfei's concern makes a lot of sense. Now the Japanese Kwantung Army is known as 700,000. In the past, in order to prevent the Soviet Union from advancing eastward, the Japanese Kwantung Army had a long confrontation with the Soviet army.

Now, the Germans are attacking the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union's war is not going well. A large area of ​​land has been lost under the joint attack of the Germans' aircraft, cannons and armored clusters.

In order to resist the German offensive, the Soviet Union had already drawn more than 100,000 troops from the Eastern Front to the battlefield on the Western Front. Now, the Soviet army no longer has an advantage in front of the Japanese Kwantung Army. Now the Soviet army's strategy is to defend the Japanese Kwantung Army, rather than attacking.

Therefore, the Kwantung Army of the Japanese have the ability to draw more than 100,000 troops to move south. At present, the 36th Army has defeated the Japanese, and it is entirely possible for the Kwantung Army to move south and reinforce the Japanese, the North China Front Army.

Based on this situation, Zhang Yunfei thought that he would not rush to attack Beiping, but to occupy several cities between Beiping and the northeast to prevent the Japanese Kwantung Army from heading south.

When everyone saw Zhang Yunfei nodding, they became cautious.

After thinking about it carefully, everyone thought that Zhang Yunfei's concern was completely necessary and that they must prevent the Japanese Kwantung Army from moving south.

Zhang Yunfei walked straight to the big map, looked at the map, and then tapped the location of Shanhaiguan with his fingers. "Comrades, we must seize Shanhaiguan immediately, control the Great Wall, and wait for an opportunity to march to the outside of the Great Wall."

Zhang Yunfei's meaning is very obvious, which is to control the Great Wall defense line and control the Great Wall before the Japanese react. This will be able to resist the Japanese Kwantung Army's journey south.

If possible, it would be even better to restore a few cities outside the Great Wall. The entire Great Wall defense line is very solid. If you want to go south, you must first break through these areas.

After Zhang Yunfei finished speaking, everyone's eyes were lit. Comrade Zuo Qingquan, the Chief of Staff, quickly stated, "Commander-in-Chief, I'll see if I'm going to seize Shanhaiguan. At present, the Japanese have empty troops near the Great Wall Defense Line. There is only one brigade stationed in Shanhaiguan. We can completely capture Shanhaiguan and quickly control the entire Great Wall Defense Line."

Zhang Yunfei nodded and immediately ordered: "Tell me the order, and order the 5th column to seize Shanhaiguan and control the Great Wall. The 4th column also moves to the north of Beiping to restore Chengde. The 6th and 8th columns move towards Beiping. The 9th and 10th columns move to Zhangjiakou and act as reserve teams."

When everyone saw Zhang Yunfei mobilizing his troops on a large scale, everyone thought to themselves. The Commander-in-Chief is playing a big game. As long as he controls Chengde and Qinhuangdao, plus the Great Wall, it will be more difficult for the Japanese to go south.

....................................

The 1st Column Position.

Starting from six o'clock in the morning, a large number of heavy artillery from the 1st Column carried out violent artillery bombardment on the defensive positions of the 54th Division of the Japanese. After half an hour of artillery bombardment, the Japanese suffered heavy casualties.

Now that the artillery has ended, the 1st Column is conducting a frontal offensive, led by the Tank Regiment and the Mechanized Infantry Regiment. This time, the 1st Column dispatched four infantry regiments.

The battle is in full swing ahead.

Wang Haiyang, the commander of the 1st Column, was holding a telescope and carefully observing the battle situation ahead. Seeing the soldiers' attacks smoothly, Wang Haiyang also watched with relish, as if he was enjoying a big show. Seeing the exciting part, Wang Haiyang did not forget to shout "Okay!"

"Commander, Datong's war situation notification!"

A correspondent stood respectfully next to Wang Haiyang with a telegram.

Now, the entire 36th Army is launching a large-scale counterattack on the Japanese. In order for everyone to better understand the situation and command the battle, Zhang Yunfei asked to send some major situations to the hands of each column.

This time, the telegram sent was sent to the liberation of Zhangjiakou and the 10th and 30th Japanese devils were completely wiped out.

After receiving the telegram, Wang Haiyang looked at it and cheered happily. Unexpectedly, the 6th and 8th columns were so beautiful. In comparison, the attack of his own column was much slower and he was still fighting fiercely with the Japanese.

Wang Haiyang thought that his troops were the 1st column and could not be too cheap, but he should also perform well, destroy the 54th Division of the Japanese devils on the other side, and it would be better to wipe out them completely.

Thinking of this, Wang Haiyang whispered loudly: "Tell me the order, go up to two more infantry regiments, and in addition, the cavalry regiments also pressed up and defeated the Japanese devils."

When he heard that the three regiments were coming up, the chief of staff of the First Column was also full of joy and went to convey the orders in person.

In front, the Japanese's position.

China and Japan have been fighting fiercely together and have been fighting for two or three hours. The Japanese's first line of defense has been occupied by the soldiers and are now breaking through to the Japanese's second line of defense.

The Japanese were also occupying the favorable terrain and resisting there. Since there were many hills on both sides of Zhengtai Road, the Japanese were condescending to block the advancement of soldiers.

"Mortar! Set up the mortar and knock out the machine guns of the Japanese in front of me."

At the foot of a hill, a captain company commander was shouting.

Halfway through the mountain, three or four hundred meters ahead, several Japanese machine guns, several crooked machine guns and Type 92 machine guns were firing violently, and several soldiers rushing up had already sacrificed their lives.

In front, the three Japanese machine gun points of the Japanese were distributed in triangular shapes. Each machine gun point had at least two machine guns. There were some Japanese Japanese who were shooting with Type 38 rifles next to them. There were a lot of sandbags piled up in front of each machine gun point.

The Japanese were condescending, and the firepower of the three machine guns crossed, causing a lot of trouble to the soldiers attacking the mountain. In addition, some Japanese soldiers who were shooting with Type 38 rifles next to them were actually suppressed by the Japanese firepower.

Hearing his company commander shouting, several soldiers, carrying two 60mm mortars, rushed over and quickly set up them up.

In just one minute, two 60mm mortars were set up. Several soldiers carefully measured the distance and orientation, then adjusted the mortars, and immediately fired at the Japanese machine guns.

Two muffled sounds of "bang, bang", and two shells flew towards the Japanese machine gun point.

"Boom, boom" two explosions came. Everyone saw that one of the Japanese machine gun points was blown away, and several Japanese were blown away, and the machine gun points were immediately reimbursed.

"Okay! OK! Keep calling me."

With these two mortars, the Japanese's machine gun points were immediately knocked out. As soon as the Japanese lost the firepower support of the machine gun, they were immediately suppressed by the soldiers' firepower. Although the Japanese holding Type 38 rifles were condescending and occupied the territory, they were simply seeking death when they shot against the soldiers holding the AK-47 assault rifle.

Not long after, many Japanese devils were killed, and the soldiers rushed up the mountain for two or three hundred meters.

"Company Commander, look, two armored vehicles rushed up."

The captain company commander looked back and saw that it was not. Two Type 39 armored personnel carriers were also driving up the mountain with their outstanding horsepower and off-road capabilities. Some small trees were crushed one after another, and the armored vehicles advanced much faster than infantrymen.

"Comrades! Go!"

With the powerful firepower support of the armored personnel carrier, it would be much easier to fight, and the Japanese would definitely not be able to withstand it.

Sure enough, the soldiers' offense was much smoother. Several Japanese machine gun points on the mountain were not enough to see in front of the 30mm cannon of the armored personnel carrier. This small hill was immediately occupied by the soldiers.

"Company Commander! Look, it seems that we have reinforced a lot of comrades."

"Company Commander! It seems that the comrades from the cavalry regiment have also participated in the war."

Sure enough, many infantry soldiers and cavalrymen were coming here in the distance. Seeing this scene, the captain company commander immediately said loudly: "Comrades, continue fighting and rush with me!"

Originally, after destroying the Japanese on this mountain, the captain and company commander wanted the soldiers to rest for ten minutes. Now it seems that they will definitely not be able to rest, so they can only start fighting immediately and eliminate the Japanese as soon as possible.

................

The 54th Division Command of the Japanese.

The commander of the Japanese Division, Taro Imai, also held a telescope and looked at the battle situation ahead. However, compared with Wang Haiyang, the commander of the Japanese Division's face looked much ugly.

A morning shelling caused heavy casualties to the Japanese. Now, the offensive of the 36th Army is extremely sharp. The Japanese retreated step by step and even lost the first line of defense.

Seeing many Japanese deceased, Taro Imai's heart was bleeding.

The Japanese Chief of Staff next to him was also watching the battle situation and saw that the 36th Army had dispatched many chariots. The Japanese Chief of Staff was basically killed in front of these chariots.

Seeing another machine gun position in the distance being bombarded by a tank of the 36th Army, the Japanese Chief of Staff could not help but say: "Secretary Commander, the tanks of the ** team opposite are so powerful. We might as well send our chariot brigade out as well, so that we can resist it."

The 54th Division of the Japanese devils was equipped with a chariot brigade, consisting of more than a dozen Type 92 tanks and armored vehicles. This chariot brigade has not yet been put into combat.

Upon hearing this, the commander of the Japanese Division shook his head, "The tanks of the China ** team are so excellent. The main guns of their tanks look at least six or seventy mm, and the armor also looks very thick. Our tanks are afraid they are not opponents."

The Chief of Staff of the Japanese was so sad that he saw Taro Imai say this.
