Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

Taizu naturally knew how much rice there was in a big pot.Therefore, even if he knows that many people think that with the current strength of the Eighth Route Army, there may be a chance to regain the entire territory of North China.

But the problem is, after it is defeated, whether it can be managed well is what Taizu is most worried about!There are experienced combat commanders like Boss Zhu in the war, so you don't have to worry too much if you think about it.

However, if you want to cultivate a batch of government management talents, it will take time to accumulate.At this time, it was undoubtedly the reason why Boss Zhu did not agree with Zhou Enlai's mention of organizing a big battle in Chengde.

Facing the discussion of the three high-level officials, He Zhengdao, who was far away in Suiyuan City, was naturally not very clear.After learning that the Kwantung Army had conscripted a group of troops from the Puppet Manchukuo and put them on the battlefield, He Zhengdao also knew that his pressure was on again.

Even the puppet Manchurian army is actually similar to the puppet Mongolian army.But in terms of loyalty to the Kwantung Army, it is undoubtedly stronger than the Puppet Mongolian Army.Many grassroots military officers of the Puppet Manchurian Army went to the military academy run by the little devil for further study.

This also means that the combat effectiveness of this puppet Manchurian army still needs to be cautious.Fortunately, the three main infantry divisions under his command have been assembled one after another, so there is no need to worry about the little devil's surprise attack.

Let the reconnaissance troops on the front line pay close attention to the movement of the No. 11 Division that came from the Xing'an League.He Zhengdao also decided to let Ye Jianying sit in Suiyuan City, and he would lead the armored brigade and artillery brigade to Xilinhot to join the advance brigade.

Once he was allowed to find an opportunity to ambush, he would let the No. 11 Division of the Japanese Army who was ordered to go out know that it was a very painful thing to fight with his troops.Only in this way can we ensure the smooth progress of the next combat deployment! (To be continued.)

Chapter 40 The Country Surrounds the City!

The unexpected fall of Duolun City, coupled with the destruction of the Puppet Mongolian Cavalry Division, formed a chain reaction that also shocked the Kwantung Army.But after these two battles, at least the Kwantung Army could see clearly that the strength of the Eighth Route Army should not be underestimated.

Many high-ranking Kwantung Army officers who had ridiculed the incompetence of the North China Front Army earlier felt disheartened in the face of such a defeat.Even the No.11 Division of the Japanese Army, which has not been disturbed too much, is now marching more cautiously.

I have to say that the little devil is a guy who is good at summing up failures.Realizing that the Eighth Route Army's capture of the Xilin Gol League was not a whim, but premeditated.The Kwantung Army also knew that more preparations were needed.

According to common sense, in the face of such a situation, it is undoubtedly the safest way for the Kwantung Army to gather its elite divisions to fight.However, Umezai Jimiro still felt that the elite of the Kwantung Army should be used against the Soviet Far East Army.

Along with the He Zhengdao Department of the Eighth Route Army marching into the Xilin Gol League, the Kwantung Army troops deployed on the front line of Outer Mongolia also began to discover Outer Mongolian reconnaissance cavalry operating on the border.The appearance of these reconnaissance cavalry also made the Kwantung Army full of vigilance.

Umezai Jimiro, who heard the news, gritted his teeth and said, "Baga, it seems that behind this incident, there must be something to do with the Soviet Far East Army. Regarding the situation on the border, we must be ready to go to war at any time."

In fact, He Zhengdao also felt a little surprised when he received the news.But thinking of the Soviet-Japanese War that broke out on the border of Outer Mongolia this year, He Zhengdao is also aware of his actions, which may have given many careerists a chance!

Even if the Eighth Route Army is now several times stronger than the Red Army, in the eyes of some high-level Soviet officials, the Eighth Route Army is still not a regular army.Apart from the large number of people, there doesn't seem to be much to be positive about.

In addition, most of the people who hold the power of the party and the army are not pro-Soviet military and political officials. The Soviet side, which wants to support a pro-Soviet political party in China, is also dissatisfied with the development of the Eighth Route Army.

Moreover, as the Eighth Route Army gradually took over the border areas bordering Outer Mongolia, the border guards deployed by the Eighth Route Army on the border also made the Soviet Far East Army feel that this was the Eighth Route Army's distrust of them.

But they have completely forgotten that the foreign independent government they are supporting now is a puppet government that is not recognized by the government of the Republic of China.After all, it can't be called their Soviet territory, it can only be regarded as a colony in disguise.

It's just that the Eighth Route Army stationed troops outside their colonies, which also made the Outer Mongolian army somewhat worried.Although the two armies are currently very restrained, no one can guarantee that the Eighth Route Army will cross the border and regain Outer Mongolia in the future?

I saw that the Eighth Route Army is now fighting vigorously in places such as Suiyuan, Chahar and even Rehe.The Outer Mongolian government, which also wants to expand its territory, also wonders if it is possible to grab more territory from the little devils.

Although the Outer Mongolian government is also a little afraid of the strength of the Kwantung Army, some people in the Soviet Far East Army stationed in Outer Mongolia also hope to do something on the border.In this case, it can also divert domestic attention from the military.

Under such circumstances, it would undoubtedly be a very good idea if the Outer Mongolian army could be used as pawns and they would support them behind the scenes.For this reason, the Outer Mongolian government dared to dispatch scouts and began to operate in disputed border areas.

After receiving the investigation report forwarded by the headquarters, He Zhengdao also smiled and said: "It seems that our fight has actually emboldened some people. However, it is not an easy task to seize food from the Kwantung Army." ah!"

Looking at the overall situation, He Zhengdao does not want Outer Mongolia or the Soviet Union to seize territory from the Kwantung Army.In his view, once there are Outer Mongolian troops or Soviet troops stationed there, they cannot adopt offensive strategies for the time being.

Conversely, if these territories are all in the hands of little devils, then the Eighth Route Army will take them back, and no one will be able to say anything.Similarly, Outer Mongolia and the Soviet Far East Army did not dare to easily destroy the good cooperative relationship between the two parties.

As the Eighth Route Army possessed more and more liberated areas, more and more Chinese materials were exported from Outer Mongolia to the Soviet Union.This is still very important for the Soviet Union whose economic situation is not very good.

In addition, even the Outer Mongolian government needs to import a large amount of daily necessities from the Eighth Route Army.In the past two years alone, the commercial exchanges between the Eighth Route Army and the Soviet Union have satisfied the senior Soviet officials in charge of commerce.

In addition to a large number of mechanical equipment, some technologies that do not have an international advantage can also bring considerable benefits to the Soviet Union after being sold to the Eighth Route Army.This kind of income is undoubtedly also urgently needed by the Soviet Union.

Even the Kwantung Army has not yet received information about the possible invasion of the Northeast by the Soviet Far East Army.But the Zhang Gufeng incident that happened earlier has made the Kwantung Army clear that the Soviet Far East Army has never given up on the occupation of Northeast China.

Compared with a border area currently captured by the Eighth Route Army, the northeast of Ruoda is the core lifeline of the Kwantung Army.It is no exaggeration to say that once the little devil loses the logistics base in the Northeast, the Japanese army in China will also fall into a complete collapse.

Under such circumstances, as the commander, Umezai Jimeiro, how would he dare to deploy troops from the border to fight in the Xilin Gol League?If the Soviet Far East Army really invaded the Northeast, the losses would be truly unbearable!

When Duolun was completely recovered, the Second Cavalry Division also completely took over the territory of Duolun.The Second Infantry Division, which was marching secretly, has also arrived at the Duolun area to garrison and build new fortifications around Duolun.

Seeing that the Eighth Route Army did not advance into the Chifeng area after capturing Duolun, the Japanese and puppet troops stationed in Chifeng also breathed a sigh of relief.However, in the face of the large troops of the Eighth Route Army arriving one after another, the Japanese and puppet troops in the confrontation area also seemed worried.

The most obvious situation is that many local tyrants and evil gentry living in the confrontation area and the princes and nobles of the puppet Mongolian government have also chosen to stay away from places that may become war zones and choose to live in safer places.

In addition, the senior officials of the puppet Mongolian government who also learned that the puppet Mongolian cavalry division was wiped out and that an infantry brigade was surrounded by the Eighth Route Army also resigned one after another or simply ran to Beiping City to hide.

All of a sudden, the Zhangjiakou garrison, who had expected to launch a counterattack, began to appear low-key again.Except for some key areas, where they sent heavy troops to defend, they completely gave up many places on the periphery.

In response to this situation, the North China Front Army troops dispatched behind Zhangjiakou earlier also received a telegram from Neiji Okamura.That is to start building fortifications on various traffic arteries entering Beiping in Zhangjiakou.

Faced with the Eighth Route Army's choice of defense, the North China Front Army also chose to defend and prepare for war. Many people who followed this battle felt a little surprised.At least from their point of view, the little devil has always been awesome, he likes to attack and doesn't like to defend.

But only He Zhengdao, Taizu, Boss Zhu and others know that it is true that the little devil is good at attacking.But in defensive warfare, the ability of the little devil is not bad.It can even be said that the little devil is also very proficient in defensive warfare.

Fu Zuoyi, who originally wanted to try to capture Zhangjiakou, also seemed a little depressed about the little devil's tactic of acting like a turtle.Now that the little devil is clearly not going out of the city, he doesn't dare to lead his troops into a siege battle easily!

After all, they are fighting against little devils these days, and crowd tactics are one of their advantages.In addition, it is to be familiar with the local situation, and it is easy to ambush the little devils.But siege warfare is not a tactic they are good at!

If we really want to fight a siege battle, it must be filled with human lives.After finally recovering a little vitality from the 35th Army, Fu Zuoyi was also reluctant to wipe out the troops.After all, he knew He Zhengdao's character, and he didn't like to trade casualties for military exploits.

Fortunately, not long after, He Zhengdao sent a telegram to Fu Zuoyi to report: "In view of the current changes in the situation between the enemy and ourselves, the 35th Army can transfer the defense task to the Suichaji Army Division to take over.

The next task of the 35th Army is to conduct encirclement training around the Zhangjiakou area.In addition to containing the Japanese and puppet troops in Zhangjiakou, they also tried to compete with the North China Front Army.In this way, the attention of the North China Front Army was restrained.

In the next period of time, the 35th Army aimed to regain the countryside, and continued to compress the living space of the Japanese and puppet troops in the surrounding areas.As long as the little devils dare to go out of the city, they should concentrate their superior forces and wipe them out.

In order for the 35th Army to better accomplish this task, the Third Cavalry Division will cooperate with the 35th Army to launch joint operations.If there is an opportunity, the offensive edge of the troops can be pushed to the surrounding areas of Chengde. "

The overall core meaning of this telegram is only one, that is, all important places like the county town are reserved for the little devils to occupy.But outside the county town, the Eighth Route Army took over all of them.

At least He Zhengdao believed that as long as he controlled the countryside around the county seat, he would cut off the little devil's logistics supply line.He believed that the only ones who couldn't stand it would be the little devils and the Japanese and puppet troops who hid in the city.

As far as the troops of the Eighth Route Army fighting in the Zhangjiakou area are now, their strength has completely surpassed that of the Japanese troops stationed in Zhangjiakou.Therefore, as long as the North China Front Army does not send main support, the remaining Japanese and puppet troops in Zhangjiakou will not last long.

After receiving this telegram, Fu Zuoyi also brightened his eyes and said: "Yes! Commander He is a good idea. The little devils are willing to guard the city, so let them continue to guard. Let's liberate the villages around the county first. Yes. What do you call this tactic?"

Even if Fu Zuoyi was still the commander of the 35th Army, when he withdrew to Datong, the Eighth Route Army also sent a political commissar to the 35th Army.The one Fu Zuoyi is questioning right now is the political commissar who is his partner.

Hearing Fu Zuoyi's words, the political commissar also smiled and said, "This is the tactic of encircling the city from the countryside proposed by our chairman earlier! It is really suitable to solve the predicament we are facing right now!"

In fact, for the current 35th Army, with the backing of the Suichaji Army Division, their implementation of such tactics can indeed effectively reduce the space for the activities of the Japanese and puppet troops.If the siege lasts for a long time, I'm afraid the Japanese army will collapse without attacking! (To be continued.)

Chapter 41 Gaining momentum!

Puppet Manchukuo is a puppet regime established by the little devils after they invaded and occupied the three northeastern provinces.Because the Nationalist Government, the Chinese Communist Party and the international community did not recognize the Puppet Manchukuo regime, it was called 'Puppet Manchukuo' or 'Puppet Manchukuo'.

In fact, the intention of the little devils to form this Manchukuo government is nothing more than to conceal their true intention to embezzle the three northeastern provinces.In addition, they are also worried that European and American countries, which also have colonial interests in China, will strongly condemn them.

To put it more bluntly, the little devil wants to be a female cousin and also wants to set up a memorial archway.It's a pity that the European and American powers didn't sell this trick, and they didn't recognize the proposal submitted by the little devil at the League of Nations Congress.

Maybe the little devils think that they are already invincible in Asia, even if they have become a first-class military and economic power in the world.Even after the League of Nations rejected this proposal, the little devil angrily withdrew from the League of Nations.
