Chapter 176: Bridge
The actions of the Japanese army far exceeded the expectations of the Northeast Frontier Defense Army!
Fang Tianlong, who was in charge of the entire Northeast defense at the moment, stood in front of the huge map with a serious face! Watching the staff put the enemy and our situation on it!
A huge blue arrow was striking straight towards Fengtian!
"What the hell is going on! How do we fight this war?" Fang Tianlong cursed in dissatisfaction.
"Commander, the Japanese army's offensive firepower is very fierce this time! According to the intelligence we have obtained, there are as many as eight divisions!" said Wang Yong, Chief of Staff of the Northeast Theater.
"I don't want to hear this nonsense! Can we withstand the Japanese attack now? We have known about the Ice Cone Plan for a long time, and the commander-in-chief has already made arrangements! Why is it still like this?"
"Commander, the commander-in-chief's deployment is to lure the enemy deep into our territory. However, the Japanese offensive momentum was too fierce this time, and the troops below somewhat underestimated the enemy." Wang Yong sighed.
"Damn it! They've almost reached my doorstep! What are they doing? A bunch of good-for-nothings! Where's Jiang Chaoyang? Where is Jiang Chaoyang now?"
"Jiang Chaoyang's 11th Army is currently gathering in the Gaoguan County area to build defensive fortifications!"
As Wang Yong spoke, he marked the location on the map.
Fang Tianlong stared at it for a long time, and suddenly said: "I remember that the east of Gaoguan County is Yongling Town, right?"
"Yes, about thirty miles!"
"That's where two rivers meet and three main roads meet! Order Jiang Chaoyang to abandon Gaoguan County and move to Yongling Town to build a defensive position! We must not lose this important transportation route!"
"Commander is wise! We have all overlooked this small Yongling Town!" Wang Yong had a cold sweat on his forehead!
When Fang Tianlong mentioned Yongling, he found it on the map! This place is really too important! It is simply the main road that controls the traffic from east to west, north to south! As the chief of staff, he actually overlooked this strategic location! This mistake is unforgivable!
Fortunately, Fang Tianlong did not intend to blame him.
"Order the troops to blow up all the bridges over Ling River! Slow down the Japanese army's advance!"
"Commander! This won't do! How can we use the bridge if it's blown up?" Political Commissar Zhao Mingren said somewhat dissatisfiedly.
"I have the final say in military matters! You have the final say in life! This is a combat meeting! Stop talking nonsense!" Fang Tianlong said without question!
"But! The entire bridge was blown up, and we suffered huge losses!"
"What? You want them to march out of the snowy mountains in big strides! And rush directly in front of us! How do you think we can stop these eight divisions of Japanese troops on the plains!" Fang Tianlong said with his eyes wide open.
"Follow my orders! Blow up the bridge!" Fang Tianlong shouted at Wang Yong again.
Fang Tianlong is now the commander-in-chief of the military of the three northeastern provinces, but he has never found a suitable person to form a team with him.
He was a veteran of the border defense army, and was Xu Yan's brother who had fought for his life. He was the first person to follow Xu Yan. In more than a year, he had changed five political commissars! Xu Yan was speechless.
Fang Tianlong is good in everything except his temper! He is a man of his word! Fortunately, he is not arbitrary, otherwise Xu Yan would have a headache! He doesn't want to see any of the old men who follow him be eliminated!
"Report! Commander Liu Kunyi is here!" the guard shouted.
"Take him to the reception room! Today's meeting is over! Dismissed!" Fang Tianlong was delighted when he heard that Liu Kunyi was coming! These old guys haven't seen each other for a long time!
As my position gets higher and higher, there are fewer and fewer old friends around me, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to see them!
Although Xu Yan was very open-minded, Fang Tianlong and others also consciously avoided risks! Especially after what happened to the brothers Wang Zhuguo and Wang Dingguo, although they didn't say it, they still had some emotions about Xu Yan's handling of the matter!
