    An hour later, Han Tie stood on the Japanese position where the ground covered his feet and was filled with bomb craters. The smoke had not yet dissipated. The remaining smoke after the explosion of the shells curled into the diffuse smoke. The corners of Han Tie's mouth revealed  A hint of a smile.  The troops are cleaning the battlefield. This is an old rule of the independent division and a special request of Lieutenant General Zhang Quan, the head of the Logistics Department. However, in Han Tie's view, cleaning the battlefield is just a formality. Everything on the Japanese position has been reduced to pieces.  .

    Looking at his watch, Han Tie said to the communications staff officer beside him: "Immediately send a telegram to the division headquarters and the sea-crossing campaign headquarters. Our Marine Corps, with six brigades, will arrive at Lushunkou at dawn on June 20th.  Landed and annihilated two divisions of the Seventh Army of the Kwantung Army. On June 21, from Bayuquan to Zhuanghe, launched an attack on the second line of defense of the Seventh Army of the Kwantung Army. After six hours of fighting,  Completely annihilate the defending Japanese troops and Japanese armed civilians!¡±

    "After the previous two rounds of bombing and one round of shelling, the specific number of enemy annihilations cannot be calculated. It is estimated that the number of regular Japanese troops annihilated is approximately 8,000, and the number of Japanese armed civilians annihilated is approximately 80,000. Now, our troops have  We are advancing towards the border between Northeast China and the Korean Peninsula in accordance with the original battle plan!¡±

    In the telegrams to the division and the Cross-Sea Campaign Headquarters, Han Tie did not use the word fierce battle. In fact, in the Battle of Lushunkou and the battle that just ended, the Marine Corps did not really take action at all. The protagonist of the battlefield was the aviation force.  As for the number of enemy bombers destroyed, it is indeed impossible to count. Japanese soldiers and armed civilians were killed by mortar shells as dense as locusts.  Not even a complete body could be found.

    Especially those members of the Manchurian Volunteer Team.  The explosives and grenades on their bodies became accomplices in blowing up their own bodies, and they were almost shattered to pieces. After simply cleaning up the battlefield, the 6th Marine Brigade continued to advance rapidly deep into the Liaodong Peninsula without stopping.

    From Bayuquan to Zhuanghe, more than 90,000 Japanese were buried.  Flesh and soil were mixed together. According to the soldiers of the follow-up troops, a few days later, when the troops passed by, they could still smell the pungent smell of blood, and the ground under their feet could still be seen.  Large areas of dried blood, and from time to time, stumps and broken arms, blown-out helmets, and 38-guns broken into several pieces could be kicked out from the void.

    That year, there was rain in the Liaodong Peninsula.  Extraordinarily abundant, the vegetation on the battlefield, after being baptized by artillery fire, grew vigorously again with the help of rain and sunshine.  It starts from Bayuquan in the east and reaches Zhuanghe in the west.  A plant belt was formed that was different from other areas of the Liaodong Peninsula. However, the local residents who escaped the war and returned to their hometowns found that the grass, trees, and bushes continued to grow wildly and were so lush that it was difficult to see  I believe that all the leaves and branches of the vegetation are green and black with light red. If they are broken, you can still smell a faint smell of blood.

    Six Marine Corps brigades with more than 100,000 troops, after the battle, quickly advanced towards Fengtian. There were three brigades on each side of the left and right wings. They advanced along the Liaodong Peninsula. After the main Japanese troops in the Liaodong Peninsula were all annihilated,  , there was no large-scale battle at all along the way, and some local Japanese garrison troops, washed away by this torrent, melted quickly like snowballs falling into a boiling water pot.

    On June 22, they recaptured Hengdaohe, Zhuanghe, Wanfu, Liangtun, Wanghaizhai and other towns and entered Gaizhou and other places. On the same day, Han Tie led members of the headquarters to Zhuanghe.

    Although the Marine Corps began to attack the Liaodong Peninsula at dawn on June 20, they won two battles in two days, completely annihilating the Kwantung Army's Seventh Army, and turning more than 80,000 Manchurian volunteers into broken pieces.  corpses, and the Japanese army's deep advance was extremely smooth in the past, but from the heart, Han Tie was not satisfied.

    The Marine Corps fought two consecutive battles, and the results were extremely eye-catching. The main force of the Seventh Army of the Kwantung Army was wiped out without playing any role at all. Because of this, Han Tie felt uncomfortable. The protagonist of the two battles,  They were all used by the aviation bomber unit. In comparison, the Marine Corps with hundreds of thousands of people had not experienced a decent battle at all. This was very depressing for Han Tie, who had the idea of ????beating the little devil.

    Han Tie, who commanded hundreds of thousands of troops, was depressed. In the waters on both sides of the Liaodong Peninsula, the captains of the two fast gunboat brigade who accompanied the troops to attack and were ready to provide fire support were even more depressed. He originally thought that what was going on along the coast of the Liaodong Peninsula  There will also be troops such as the little devil's maritime patrol, which will accompany the troops on land to attack and at the same time have the opportunity to fight, which is the best of both worlds.

    Unfortunately, they were disappointed. The ones responsible for patrolling the coast of the Liaodong Peninsula were not little Japs at all, but the Manchukuo Army. The patrols used were not warships such as patrol boats, but wooden sailing ships, with at most a diesel engine.  Transformed into a sailboat, it is the opponent of the gunboat brigade equipped with naval combat-type "Thunder" rocket launchers. It hardly uses rocket launchers.Just the machine gun on the gunboat killed these guys and they were buried in Liaodong Bay and the North Yellow Sea.

    Just listening to the sound of gunfire on the shore, but not receiving orders, with nothing to do, the two captains of the fast gunboat brigade discussed in the telegram that except for the necessary gunboats to stay, the rest of the gunboats should simply go  The battle against pirates turned out to be a massacre without suspense on land in the Liaodong Peninsula. The battle at sea also yielded great results. The unintentional actions of the two captains actually eliminated the sea pirates who had been harming one side for more than a hundred years.  bandit.

    After the independent division troops control the Liaodong Peninsula, they will no longer be disturbed by pirates. This can be regarded as an unexpected gain. However, this is purely an action of looking for wars without the approval of superiors, and they dare not go up at all.  Report, even Han Tie didn¡¯t know.

    At this time, Han Tie had led members of the headquarters into Zhuanghe County, which had not been baptized by war. Major General Jiang Fangliang, commander of the Sixth Brigade, greeted the commander at the south gate of Zhuanghe County. What he did not expect was that,  Also accompanying the vehicle was Major General Huang Wanshan, commander of the Fourth Brigade.

    Seeing Han Tie get off the armored command vehicle, Jiang Fangliang hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Report to the commander, the Sixth Brigade has occupied Zhuanghe County. Without a large-scale battle, the Japanese guard force there is extremely empty. There are less than  One squadron of Japanese military police and the rest were Japanese policemen. The battle lasted for thirty minutes and the Japanese troops were completely wiped out. Our unit now has 26 casualties! "

    Han Tie looked Jiang Fangliang up and down, making Jiang Fangliang's conscience tingle, "Jiang Fangliang, I think you seem very proud? Do you think that the Japs are vulnerable, and next, your Sixth Brigade will go straight to Fengtian?"  Han Tie spoke, but to Jiang Fangliang's ears, something seemed wrong?

    Han Tie looked at Jiang Fangliang, whose eyes were moving around, obviously thinking about what he just said, and then said with a straight face: "Okay, stop thinking about it, I don't mean anything else, I just remind you not to win the battle.  , got carried away, if the little devils didn¡¯t stop us in the wild, and all the troops were killed, how could it be so easy to defeat Zhuanghe by relying on the town? "Lead the way, let's go into the city and have a look!"

    Jiang Fangliang did not dare to say a word, but quietly grabbed Chief of Staff Wang Dongshan, "Chief of Staff, the commander seems not very happy, what is it for?" he asked in a low voice.

    Wang Dongshan lay next to Jiang Fangliang's ear and whispered: "It's not a good fight. In the two consecutive battles, the bombers of the aviation force played the leading role. Think about it, the commander can be happy? You still have to fight with a few Japanese soldiers."  If you talk about things in Zhuanghe County, you won¡¯t be punished!¡±

    Jiang Fangliang suddenly realized it. He patted his head and saw that the commander and his party had entered Zhuanghe County and hurriedly chased after them. The Zhuanghe County of that era was far from developing into a pearl of the Liaodong Peninsula and the county seat as it was in later generations.  The shabby, shabby houses and shops with obvious Japanese-style architecture are the only ones that look different. They are not only tall but also somewhat magnificent. The residents' faces are numb, and their eyes have a look of fear and uneasiness. They cower and lean on each other.  On both sides of the street, watching the troops entering the city one after another, an atmosphere of fear filled the entire county.

    Han Tie felt this atmosphere from the moment he entered the county, but Han Tie understood that it had been more than ten years since the September 18th Incident and the Kwantung Army occupied the entire Northeast. The residents of the Liaodong Peninsula had already remembered  What does it look like if you can't afford the Chinese army? No matter how you say it, after the little devils occupied the Northeast, many people had relatives who served as national soldiers in the Manchukuo army. In order to survive, they could be obedient citizens or in order to live a better life.  A little bit, he was a national soldier, but in short, he was under the rule of the little devil for more than ten years.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Today, so many soldiers suddenly came here, and they were also troops of the National Government. How can we not clean them up?  Maybe many people will be killed soon in Zhuanghe County, but the soldiers have blocked the four gates, and they can't get out even if they want to, so they just wait to be stabbed!

    This atmosphere made Han Tie very uncomfortable. He said to Jiang Fangliang and Huang Wanshan: "The battle has just ended. From now on, this is the territory of our independent division. Zhuanghe cannot be in chaos. Let's detach part of the troops, just one battalion.  Form the Zhuanghe Security Command and immediately begin to restore social security and market order in Zhuanghe. By the way, all Japanese property in Zhuanghe County will be confiscated immediately, and all Japanese will be detained and managed centrally! "

    Jiang Fangliang and Huang Wanshan looked at each other and said nothing. The commander's words were vague. Zhuanghe should leave a small number of troops, but he did not specify whether it was the fourth brigade or the sixth brigade. No one wanted to leave their own troops.  The troops stay in Zhuanghe for guard duty, which means that these troops are likely to become second-line garrison troops.

    Seeing that the two brigade commanders were both sullen and silent, Han Tie thought he didn't want to leave his troops behind to guard Zhuanghe.His eyebrows stood up immediately, "Didn't you hear what I just said? We haven't arranged for the troops to go there yet!" he said loudly.
