Warlords: I just made a little fortune, but I didn’t build a country.

Bei'an Command Center, at this time Qin Lin had already returned to the front-line command center from Yunnan and Guizhou. Now because Jinzhong County and Xiaoyuan area were breached, the Japanese commander-in-chief Tianchi Jiangtai began to transfer all the troops back to Jincheng.

At this point, the Japanese Third Front Army Headquarters had a total of one division, namely the 322nd Division, but three to four thousand of its people were wiped out by the Qin Army's Reserve Division and Heavy Artillery Division.

There was also a heavy armored division of the Japanese army that confronted the Qin army's armored division and lost twenty to thirty armored tanks. The two sides mainly focused on containment, so at this time the Japanese headquarters had a heavy armored division, two direct brigades, an infantry division, an artillery brigade, plus the Royal Guards Regiment, Cavalry Regiment, etc., with a total strength of about 6.

The troops that encircled and suppressed the Japanese headquarters were the remaining soldiers of the 7th Army, nearly 12 in number. They began to tighten the encirclement and attack the headquarters of the Japanese Third Front Army.

In response to this, the Japanese flying troops began to provide frantic support, and the local garrisons quickly marched towards Yizhou Province. The hundreds of thousands of Japanese in Jiading also began to break out regardless of losses and join the headquarters.

"It seems that the Japanese have guessed our strategic deployment," Qin Lin said after taking a sip of tea, "It is obvious that they want to break out at all costs."

"If you still can't see it, then this devil is really stupid!"

Yang Wenbin took a sip of Shanghaoshengpu and said, "But it doesn't hurt to guess. The 37th Army of Jiading is holding on to the Japanese army tightly. If the Japanese forcefully withdraw, the losses will be very large. There are also Japanese troops in Jincheng. If they want to break out, it depends on whether they have the life to do so!"

"Without further ado."

Qin Lin said, "Order the frontline troops to implement the final step of the combat plan. The 37th Army must hold on to the enemy's Jiading frontline troops. The main force of the 39th Army will join the 7th Army to encircle and suppress the -strong enemy headquarters. The remaining troops will pursue the enemy's local garrison troops and strive to severely damage the enemy's Third Front Army within two months."

"Today is May 1st," Qin Lin said, "Before July, we will severely damage the Japanese, and then go south to encircle and destroy the Japanese Sixth Front Army!"

After Qin Lin's order was given, the troops on the front line began to move and started to prepare for the final decisive battle. Everyone knew that how much meat they could bite off the Japanese this time would depend on their true abilities!

On the Jincheng front, Deng Wenzhong led the soldiers of the 7th Army to encircle and suppress the Japanese Third Front Army. At this time, the entire Jincheng was surrounded.

"The Japanese have a heavy armored division in Jincheng, so if they want to break out and concentrate their forces to attack one point, we can't stop them."

Deng Wenzhong looked at the commanders under the 7th Army and said, "So, this encirclement and suppression operation plan is not feasible. After all, the Japanese have troops, and we are less than twice their number. Moreover, we have to defend such a large area, and our forces are very dispersed. The Japanese encirclement and suppression tactics are not favorable to us."

"The Chief of Staff is right."

Chang Xingwang, the commander of the 72nd Infantry Division, said, "The devils also have flying units. The flying units of the Third Front Army are very powerful and will cause great difficulties for our encirclement and suppression. Therefore, the encirclement and suppression tactics are indeed disadvantageous to us."

"My tactics are."

Deng Wenzhong picked up the baton and said, "Since the Japanese are trying to break out, we should set up traps to make them break out."

"Look," Deng Wenzhong pointed at the map and continued, "the Japanese have been making exploratory attacks these days. They should have discovered that the northern Aicheng District defended by the reserve division is a weak point. I happened to be a little careful. The area defended by the reserve division is exactly the opposite side of Yizhou Province where the Japanese want to break through. What do you think the Japanese will do?"

"I guess the Japanese will definitely break out from Aicheng District, because they guess that we can't guess that they will break out from the opposite side, so we can use their tricks against them and set a trap in Aicheng District and wait for the Japanese to jump in."

"Let me deduce the Japs' general tactics," said Deng Wenzhong, pointing at the map with his baton.

"Based on my understanding of Tianchi Jiangtai, he will definitely mobilize heavy troops to attack from the front first, pretending to fight us to the death, so that we will focus all our attention on the front, thereby misleading us. Then he will quickly break out from Aicheng from the back at night. By the time we react, the Japs will have already fled. When the Japs break out from the back, he will definitely mobilize flying troops to bomb from the front to attract our attention. This is a tactic that Tianchi Jiangtai often uses, making a feint to the east and attacking in the west."

"So at the beginning we have to play along with the Japanese. If they attack head-on, we will concentrate our forces to fight them back. This task will be handed over to your 72nd Infantry Division, Chang Xingwang."

"Yes, Chief of Staff."

"I'll give you the firepower support of a heavy artillery division and a tank regiment," Deng Wenzhong said to Chang Xingwang, "and I'll apply for support from the flying corps for you. Anyway, it's just a matter of words. Fight hard and make the Japanese think that all our heavy firepower is in the front."

"clear."

"Reserve Division," Deng Wenzhong said to the commander of the reserve division, "your mission is to lay mines. Lay 8000 mines on Chenghua Avenue behind your Aicheng District to form a minefield. This is the only way for the Japanese to pass."

"Yes, Chief of Staff."

"Also," Deng Wenzhong said to the armored division commander, "The rest of your tanks and armored forces, go around to the flanks of the minefield and wait for the Japanese to enter the minefield, then crush them like crazy."

"clear."

"Then," Deng Wenzhong said to the commander of the 71st Infantry Division, Yan Haokong, "your division will defend the left and right wings. After the mine explodes, you will quickly encircle Aicheng District and form a semi-encirclement with the reserve division and the armored division. The 71st Infantry Division and the heavy artillery division in the front will advance and close the gate. We will encircle the Japanese again. We will output all our firepower. When the Japanese want to fight to the death with us, we will open Chenghua Avenue and let the Japanese break out."

"Let the devils break out?"

"That's right," Deng Wenzhong nodded. "With this trap and the firepower of tens of thousands of soldiers, it's no problem for us to kill 18,000 Japanese soldiers. When the Japanese are ready to fight to the death with us, we will temporarily avoid the attack and let them go. Then we will chase them, set traps, and let them go after we have finished our firepower output."

"hey-hey."

Deng Wenzhong pointed at the map and said, "Jincheng is more than 500 kilometers away from Yizhou Province. It will take a month or so for the Japanese to reach Yizhou Province. During this month or so, we will fight and chase them. The key is to set traps and output firepower. If the Japanese want to fight, we will retreat. Once the Japanese start running, we will set traps again and output firepower again."

"What we need to do is to mobilize the Japanese and make them go wherever they go. In this way, how many troops will be left when the Japanese reach Yizhou Province?"
