Siheyuan: Hang Jia Dongxu, smash Banggeng to death!

"Commander Lin, spare my life! I was forced into this. Those scoundrels are pointing guns at me. If I don't submit to them, they'll kill my whole family!"

Lin Tian walked over, looked down at him, and said coldly, "Treason is treason, there is no reason. Your family's lives are lives, but other people's families are destroyed and their lives are not lives?"

You aided and abetted the evildoers, helping the Japanese pirates to harm our compatriots. You are not human, you are beasts, and beasts deserve to die like beasts.

Commander Li opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

Lin Tian turned around, raised his hand, and said, "Remember to be a patriot in your next life. Carry it out."

Gunshots rang out like popping beans, and rows of puppet soldiers fell, their bodies piling up like mountains.

The blood flowed into streams, steaming in the snow.

As night fell, the battlefield fell completely silent.

The soldiers cleaned up the battlefield, carried away the wounded, and buried the bodies.

The next day.

The province of Kyrgyzstan has been liberated.

The news spread throughout China, and the whole country rejoiced.

From the north and south of the Yangtze River to inside and outside the Great Wall, people took to the streets to celebrate the victory.

Students chanted slogans, workers set off firecrackers, and the elderly burned incense and prayed to Buddha.

Heilongjiang Province was liberated, and Jilin Province was also liberated, leaving only one province in Northeast China—Liaoning Province.

Xiao Xing's old nest in Northeast China is about to be finished.

Lin Tian stood on the city wall, looking at the brightly lit county town in the distance. Brigade Commander Chen walked over, holding a battle report in his hand.

"Commander, the entire province of Jilin has been liberated. More than 50,000 Japanese troops and nearly 100,000 puppet troops have been annihilated. Our side suffered about 2,000 casualties, most of whom were Northeast Army soldiers, totaling about 30,000."

"it is good."

Lin Tian nodded. "Let the troops rest for a few days, then continue to wipe out the Japanese pirates."

"Yes."

Brigade Commander Chen turned and left.

Lin Tian stood alone on the city wall, the night wind ruffling his clothes. The stars twinkled overhead, yet his heart remained calm.

With the liberation of Jilin Province, the entire Northeast will soon be back.

Those who died can rest in peace now.

Those who are alive can go home now.

This is not something I would do if I traveled back in time.

In Tokyo, the military was in complete turmoil.

Hideki Tojo swept everything off his desk and onto the floor; the inkstone shattered, the brush broke, and telegrams were scattered everywhere.

"Baka yarou! Baka yarou!"

He roared, his voice echoing in the office, veins bulging on his forehead, his face turning a deep purplish-red.

The secretary huddled in the corner, barely daring to breathe.

Heilongjiang Province was lost, and so was Jilin Province.

The Kwantung Army and its puppet troops, numbering in the hundreds of thousands, suffered heavy casualties, with the remaining troops demoralized and running out of ammunition and food.

The empire's decades of efforts in the Northeast were about to be destroyed.

Several cabinet ministers walked in, their faces grim.

Lu Xiang lowered his head, his voice hoarse: "Your Excellency, the Kwantung Army in Liaoning Province is urgently assembling, and there are currently 150,000 men."

In addition, the puppet army also recruited 150,000 people, bringing the total strength to 300,000.

They vowed to retake Heilongjiang and Kyrgyz provinces and avenge their fallen comrades.

Hideki Tojo turned to look at him, his eyes bloodshot, as if he wanted to devour him.

"Three hundred thousand? Is that enough? The enemy has planes, tanks, and artillery. What will our soldiers use to fight back?"

"Sir, we also have airplanes and tanks. Although their performance is inferior to the enemy's, we have a numerical advantage. Moreover, we also have secret weapons."

"A secret weapon?"

Hideki Tojo frowned.

Lu Xiang lowered his voice: "The Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Department of Unit 731 has developed several new types of biological and chemical weapons with extremely high destructive power. Once deployed, the enemy will collapse without a fight."

Hideki Tojo was silent for a moment. "Is it reliable?"

"Reliable. It has already been tested on Chinese people with remarkable results."

"Then use it."

Hideki Tojo gritted his teeth, "We must eliminate the enemy in Liaoning Province at all costs. The Empire cannot lose Manchukuo."

Meanwhile, at the headquarters of the Kwantung Army in Liaoning Province, the newly appointed commander, Yasuji Okamura, was holding a military conference.

The map hangs on the wall, with the enemy and friendly positions marked in red and blue pencils.

Okamura pointed to the location of Jilin Province on the map, his gaze cold and stern. "The Chinese Independent Brigade and the Northeastern Army of China are resting and reorganizing."

It is expected that they will advance south to attack Liaoning Province in three to five days. At that time, reinforcements from Yan'an and Nanjing will also arrive, bringing the total force to approximately 200,000.

A general stood up, his face full of resentment.

"Your Excellency, we have an army of 300,000, giving us a numerical advantage, and we are fighting on home soil."

The enemy has come from afar and is facing supply difficulties. We are fully capable of launching a preemptive strike and annihilating them in one fell swoop.

Okamura shook his head.

"Take the initiative? The enemy's air force is far superior to ours. Without air superiority, taking the initiative would be suicide."

He ordered troops to reinforce fortifications, stockpile ammunition, and prepare for a desperate defense; at the same time, he requested air support from the mainland.

"But Your Excellency, our air force has suffered heavy losses in the previous battles and it will be difficult to replenish it in the short term."

Okamura paused for a moment, then tapped his fingers lightly on the table. "Then let Unit 731 prepare."

When the enemy attacks, use aircraft to drop biological and chemical weapons; this is the best way to kill the enemy.

After the meeting, all units began intensive preparations for combat.

The Japanese troops in Liaoning Province frantically built fortifications, with trenches, bunkers, and minefields densely packed together.

The soldiers dug day and night, their hands blistered and bleeding, but they dared not stop.

Among them were twelve- or thirteen-year-old Boy Scouts who had just been recruited from the island, their faces still showing childish innocence, their eyes filled with confusion.

They carried rifles taller than themselves and heavy ammunition boxes.

The instructors shouted from behind, and if anyone was even slightly slow, they would beat them with wooden sticks, leaving them covered in bruises.

A boy was kicked to the ground by his instructor, his knee hitting a stone and bleeding profusely.

He gritted his teeth and got up, not daring to cry, tears welling up in his eyes. The old soldier beside him sighed and whispered:

"I wonder when this battlefield will end. I heard the Chinese Independent Brigade doesn't take prisoners. Sigh!"

The atmosphere in Lin Tian's command post was also very heavy.

The map on the table shows the enemy and our positions.

In Liaoning Province, there are 150,000 Japanese troops and 150,000 puppet troops, for a total force of 300,000. This is data that has just been verified by the intelligence department.

Brigade Commander Chen stood to the side, his face serious. "Sir, our troops have suffered considerable casualties in the battles in Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces."

The Huaxia Independent Brigade suffered approximately 2,000 casualties, while the Northeast Army and other anti-Japanese forces suffered approximately 50,000 casualties.

Currently, our total troop strength is about 100,000, and with the reinforcements sent by Chiang Kai-shek and the Generalissimo, the total is now about 200,000.

Ma Yongzhen stood up, patted his chest, and said, "Commander, we are confident that 200,000 against 300,000. Our equipment is a hundred times better than theirs."

"It's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark."

Lin Tian looked up at them and said, "You know what kind of people the Japanese are. They resort to dirty tricks when they can't beat them."

Biological weapons, germ warfare, Unit 731—you've all heard of them, right?

There was a moment of silence in the command center.

Dajun and Zhou Xingxing exchanged a glance, their faces turning pale. They had heard about the crimes of Unit 731 in their later lives.

I knew how terrifying that demonic factory was.

"so……"

Lin Tian's voice turned cold. "We can't wait for the Japanese to make the first move; we must strike first."
