The 320th Division of the Japanese Army is a division that has just been formed in North Korea.

This division is not so much a Japanese division, but rather a Korean division... Most of its soldiers are Koreans, but because North Korea has been under the colonial rule of the Japanese for decades, a considerable number of them have been brainwashed to completely treat themselves as the Japanese and willingly fight for the Japanese.

The commander of this division is Major General Nishisaburo Hachisumi.

(Note: The Japanese division commander is usually a lieutenant general, but with the fierce war, the Japanese lieutenant general and general have decreased a lot due to the death of war and retirement, so the division commanders of the troops formed in the later period were mostly major generals.)

After being bombed by the Chinese Air Force, Yasuzumi Nishisaburo cursed in anger: "Bastard! Where has our air force gone? What's going on? Is it the case that we were transferred here? Is it just that we were bombed?!"

From this we can also see that Yasumi Nishisaburo knows nothing about the situation of the puppet Manchukuo.

This is not surprising. The 320th Division is not under the command of the Kwantung Army. The transfer of its puppet Manchukuo was ordered by Hideki Tojo as the chief of staff when he was in office. At this time, Hideki Tojo had already stepped down. The newly appointed Chief of Staff Mijiro Umezu was also determined to plan a decisive battle with the US military in Wright Bay, and he didn't care about the 320th Division at all.

This made the 320th Division look like an isolated army without anyone commanding it, with no information except for the occasional orders sent by Naosaburo Okabe.

Not long ago, Yasumi Nishisaburo shouted to his subordinates very arrogantly: "Everyone, speed up the marching, think about the Chinese women in Manchukuo and countless treasures! They are waiting for our arrival!"

When the subordinates heard this, they couldn't help laughing, and in their minds... the Chinese troops were the kind of enemy who could catch up with a bayonet and charge, so from top to bottom, they regarded this reinforcement as a trip.

But thinking about...

As soon as they entered the sky of the puppet Manchukuo, a bunch of bombers and fighters appeared. At first they thought it must be an Imperial Army aircraft. Besides the Great Japanese Empire, what other troops could have air power! So the Japanese even waved military caps to cheer at these fighters.

But soon they realized that they were wrong. The fighter planes and bombers dived down and bombed them.

At this point, these fighter jets and bombers became nightmares for the 320th Division... They flew in a group every thirty minutes, and every time they arrived, they bombed them without exception. What's worse was that the location of the 320th Division was still full of wilderness, and there was no hiding place in the white area, so more than 2,000 people were killed or injured in just one day.

This forced Yasuki Nishisaburo to march at night, but it was not easy to march at night. From time to time, he would be attacked by artillery fire in unknown directions... What makes people angry is that the Japanese army, who were blown upside down, didn't know where the artillery fire came from, and didn't understand why it was so accurate!

This artillery fire is naturally a harassment team of Chinese troops, a harassment team formed by half-tracked armored vehicles with howitzers.

The reason why they will be so accurate is that they selected several artillery positions during the day and calculated the numbers and even completed the test firing. At night, they found that the enemy entered the section of the road and fired according to the corresponding numbers.

This made the 320th Division the slowest division among several offensive troops, and in the end they chose to retreat before they even reached Yingkou... According to Yasuki Kishisaburo, it means that more than half of the 320th Division had died or injured before they reached the destination, and we had no food and no ammunition. Do we really need to fight with our teeth and stones?

The two Japanese divisions attacking Chenyang were the fastest.

Zhang Chi intends to make them fast, so they are basically not harassed by the Chinese Air Force.

But the life of these two Japanese troops was not easy, because the 53rd Army was already ready to face the enemy... Wu Xuexin, the commander of the 53rd Army, had fully mastered Zhang Chi's combat idea of ​​"attack as defense" and was able to retract and release it on the battlefield. Chenyang seemed to have become a meat grinder... A team of Japanese troops attacked and occupied the position. Before they could gain a foothold, a team of tanks rolled up, and then repeated such a tug-of-war again and again. The result of each tug-of-war was at the cost of a large number of casualties of the Japanese army.

There are still risks in the direction of Siping, mainly because to the west of Siping, there is no danger to defend the Kerrbi grassland, and this is exactly the direction of the attack of the Japanese 117th Division.

But it is precisely because the Japanese attack direction was the Koerbi Grassland that the mobile troops of the 53rd Army could be penetrated at any time to the rear of the 117th Division to cut off their supplies and surround them.

so……

Zhang Chi, who looked at the map, believed that the most difficult and dangerous ones were Qiqihar and Harbin, especially Qiqihar, which was the farthest away from Xinjing but had to face the two Japanese divisions.

"The Sixth Army location?" Zhang Chi asked.

Staff Liang looked at the telegram and replied: "After Dehui, we are almost at Fuyu!"

"Why is it so slow?" Zhang Chi couldn't help but frowned.

"Japan is prepared!" Staff Liang replied helplessly: "Their methods of destruction have been upgraded. They buried mines during the day and penetrated and destroyed at night. Sometimes they even launched small-scale attacks on my rear... If they accidentally built a bridge, they would be blown up. In addition, they continued to organize personnel to disguise the railway."

Zhang Chi thought that the Japanese had learned their cleverness, and their playing style was more like the practice of the "rail guerrillas" in the past, but now it is the opposite... The Japanese who protect the railway have become destroying the railway, and the Chinese who destroy the railway have become protecting the railway.

"Teacher!" Then Staff Liang handed a telegram to Zhang Chi and said: "The news I just received... The Japanese army's offensive against Principal Jiang on the Southern Front has not only not weakened but has strengthened!"

"Oh?" Zhang Chi looked at Staff Liang with some surprise.

The purpose of Zhang Chi's attack on the puppet Manchukuo was to capture the Japanese army's rear route so that the Japanese army had to return to defense, but now... the Japanese army does not return to defense!

Why is this?

Then Zhang Chi quickly figured it out that Okamura Yasuji wanted to break through from another direction, that is, Okamura Yasuji chose to fight to Vietnam to meet with the Japanese army in Vietnam.

As for this puppet Manchukuo, Okamura Yasuji was afraid that he had never thought of coming back from the beginning.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chi couldn't help but sigh... He originally hoped to save some soldiers and people who died in the Battle of Henan, Hunan and Guangxi, but now it seems that this purpose cannot be achieved.
