Chapter 59: Planning to work alone, conquering territory while fighting, and maybe unifying the whol

Jincheng Third War Zone Command.

"Young Marshal, it's just as you expected," Deng Wenzhong came to Qin Lin with a telegram and said, "Song Guoan fainted, and the yellow-robed boy in Kyoto asked Foreign Minister Lei He to temporarily serve as the deputy commander-in-chief of the headquarters. The first order issued by Lei He was for us to join the First War Zone and defeat the Japanese troops in the southern border of the camp."

"Join forces and defeat them?"

Qin Lin looked at the map and said, "I'm afraid that once we fight the Japanese, the First War Zone will take the opportunity to shake off the Japanese army, and let our Third War Zone fall into a quagmire."

"The court's intention is very clear now," Deng Wenzhong said, "They want to kill the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in our three war zones and prevent you, the young commander, from returning to the northwest alive. Then everything will be fine. As for the Japanese devils, we can ignore them for now."

"Hey!"

Qin Lin sneered and asked, "What's the situation in the Second War Zone?"

"Not optimistic."

Deng Wenzhong picked up a flag and planted it in the Second War Zone and said, "The Sixth Front Army of the Japanese still has a card in its hand. Although this card is not valuable, it can play a role at a critical moment."

"puppet army?"

"Ah."

Deng Wenzhong nodded and said, "The Japs' Sixth Front Army transferred 40 puppet troops to the Second War Zone, mainly to contain the main forces of the Second War Zone, while the Japs' Sixth Front Army defeated them one by one. The Second War Zone originally had only 30 troops, and now most of the main forces have been tied up by the puppet army. The Hunan Army and the Wolf Army saw the fate of Cao's army and began to withdraw their troops. Within three days, the news that the Second War Zone's defense line has been lost will probably spread."

"Hey!"

Qin Lin sighed and said, "We sent 160 million troops to the north, and now it has become like this."

"We can't help it. If the imperial court hadn't interfered, the situation would have been exactly as we expected," Deng Wenzhong said, pointing to a battle map deduced three months ago. "The Yingnan devils were destroyed. Our Third War Zone blocked the main force of the Third Front Army of the devils. The Fourth War Zone and the First War Zone had more than 80 troops, plus a corps of the New Army, nearly a million troops. What could the Yingnan devils do to stop them?"

"Even if the Japanese transport 20 troops to Huludao, it won't do anything. At least we can severely damage the Japanese Third Front Army and the Second War Zone. There is also the 30 troops of the First Corps of the New Army besieging the Japanese Sixth Front Army. If nothing else, we can at least kill more than Japanese troops and severely damage their Sixth and Third Front Armies, laying a solid foundation for our subsequent advance into the three provinces of Heilongjiang!"

"Hey!"

Deng Wenzhong also sighed and said, "But now the front line is in chaos. The Cao army in the four war zones was calculated by the court to lose more than 48% of its troops and withdraw from the joint resistance. Although the Dragon and Tiger Army is average in combat power, it is also one in a hundred and can resist the devils. There are Dragon and Tiger Army, and now there are only about left."

"There is a total of 160 kilometers of defense. Now only the 33 kilometers of defense line in our third war zone is still there. Most of the rest were abandoned voluntarily, and some were breached by the Japanese. The command of the imperial headquarters is completely disorganized. It seems that it is not just one person who is in charge, but there are multiple people with different ideas. This is the final result of the current situation."

"As expected."

Qin Lin shook his head and said, "Fortunately, this battle also annihilated more than 20 Japanese troops, weakened the Japanese military strength, and shattered their myth of destroying the Daqian Kingdom in six months. For at least more than three months, they didn't even open the door to the Central Plains."

"Young Marshal."

Political Commissar Yang Wenbin held up a telegram and said, "The court asked us to go support the First War Zone."

"Woolen cloth!"

Deng Wenzhong handed the telegram in his hand to Yang Wenbin and said, "This is the second one."

"Ah!"

Yang Wenbin snorted coldly, "This court uses people to move forward, not backward. Now they ask us to support the First War Zone. Isn't that just giving fat meat to the devils?"

"Now that they have said so, we have to take action, right?"

Qin Lin said, "Call headquarters and tell them we'll leave immediately."

"Young Marshal, are you really going?" Yang Wenbin said with his eyes wide open.

"Go to hell," Qin Lin pointed at the map and said, "There are more than 50 Japanese troops in Yingnan, and a fleet is ready to support them on the sea. Going to Yingnan at this time is courting death."

"Also, look at the Second War Zone," Qin Lin continued, "The Second War Zone's defense line will surely fall within three days, and the Hunan Wolf Army will quickly withdraw from the front line. Once the Second War Zone withdraws from the front line, the Japs' Sixth Front Army will be free to come, and there are also 400,000 Japs puppet troops. If we are in Jinzhou, we will just be waiting for the Japs to beat us. Once the defense line collapses, we will become an isolated army, so if we don't leave now, when will we leave?"

"That's right," Deng Wenzhong nodded. "If we don't leave now, it will be too late. There's no need to waste time with the Japanese. Let's save our strength for another fight."

"Yes, we must fight the Japanese, but we can fight on our own and take over the territory while fighting," Qin Lin said, pointing to Chifeng on the map. "We will march north from Jinzhou to Chifeng, and from Chifeng to Meng Province, and then take over this province of more than 118 million square kilometers."

"Our 7th Army will go from Meng Province to Miyun and head straight to Kyoto, which is about 600 kilometers away. At our marching speed, it will take about half a month to arrive. As for the five columns, they will quickly occupy Meng Province and connect the northwest and the entire northern provinces. In this way, as long as we have the strength, we can counterattack the devils at any time."

"Then let's have a long-distance forced march," Deng Wenzhong said.

"That's right. My 7th Army soldiers have experience in this." Qin Lin said, "Order the troops to start marching according to the marching route we have planned. The five columns will march in batches. We will meet in Chifeng. Then, Old Yang, you will lead the five columns to control the Meng Province. Wen Zhong and I will lead the 7th Army straight to Kyoto and finally return to the northwest."

"This battle!"

Qin Lin lit a cigarette and said, "Let the imperial court fight on its own and we will come to support them. They are really trying to trick us. In that case, let the imperial court face the Japanese army on its own. My Qin Army announces its withdrawal from the joint war of resistance and will not play with them anymore. Let's see what the imperial court can do!"

"That's how it should be."

Deng Wenzhong said, "In terms of justice, we sent troops to support the country and the people. As a result, the court's actions really chilled us. It is better for us to be a force in the northwest and fight alone. At least we can fight freely without worrying about whether someone will play dirty tricks! But young marshal, once we move, these five columns will not be able to hide!"

“No need to hide.”

Qin Lin said, "Initially, it was to prevent being attacked from both sides by the Japanese and the imperial court. Now, the situation has changed. The imperial court has been surrounded by the Japanese. It doesn't matter whether our five columns are exposed or not. What we need to do now is to quickly withdraw from the defense zone and march to Chifeng."

"clear."

After Qin Lin's order was issued, the General Staff began to implement it quickly. The 7 soldiers of the 11th Army began to quickly form a team and set out, as well as the five columns. Because of the large number of troops in the five columns, the speed was slightly slower, but they also began to withdraw from Jinzhou within three hours.

This movement was not a big deal. The entire population of Jinzhou was reduced by nearly one third. A full 70-strong army began to march rapidly towards Chifeng. When various forces learned that a 70-strong army suddenly appeared in Jinzhou, they were a little confused!
