Chapter 454: Battle Situation Analysis
Fengtian City, Jiang Baili politely sent Sun Wen away. Regarding Jiang Baili's proposal to let Sun Wen serve as the liaison ambassador between China and Japan, Sun Wen agreed to it. However, compared with Jiang Baili's recommendation, Sun Wen attaches more importance to Feng Yong's opinion, after all, Feng Yong is in charge of the Northeast.
"Transfer a company from my guard regiment to protect Mr. Sun's safety along the way!" Jiang Baili ordered. After all, Sun Wen is not from the Northeast, and even if he acts as a liaison ambassador between the two sides, the ambassador will not need him for specific negotiations. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Beijing government is the main force in the negotiations. Sun Wen's presence plays the role of a connection.
"To send a telegram to the young marshal, Sun Wen has agreed to contact the Japanese side, and now he is leaving for Changchun north, and he wants to negotiate with the young marshal face-to-face." Jiang Baili thought for a while and said.
After arranging this, Jiang Baili once again put his mind on the battlefield of the two sides.
"Zhenzhen, where are they now?" Jiang Baili asked.
"Commander, they have arrived in Buyun Mountain, and they will arrive at Wafangdian in a few days."
"Wafangdian?" Jiang Baili's brows couldn't help frowning, and he said, "I remember that the remnants of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army were stationed in Wafangdian, right?" ”
"Yes, according to the report of the 1st Guard Regiment, the remnants of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army are indeed in the Wafangdian area. However, their strength has now been strengthened, and there are more than 20,000 people. The first regiment of guards did not provoke and was already retreating like the north. The operational staff officer said.
"Very well done, it is not surprising that the Japanese army has increased its troops, Japan has a complete military service system in the country, coupled with their strong transportation capacity, it is not surprising that the strength of the 10th Division will be restored in a short time. I think if we don't hurry up, the 10th Division will revert to a behemoth again. Jiang Baili smiled and said, Jiang Baili was extremely envious of the powerful navy of the Japanese army. But envy is envy, the Northeast wants a strong navy, not a few years but impossible.
"Order the troops of the Southern Military District to speed up their advance."
In the southeast battlefield, the entire Yalu River has almost become a fortress for both China and Japan. On one shore, you can see the busy figure of the enemy on the other side. But both sides were very restrained, and there were no large-scale engagements. The ice floes on the river surface have condensed again, but unfortunately, the temperature has risen a little by this time. Such ice could hardly allow the troops to walk on a large scale.
"Lao Cao, is there any movement in the Fourth Division?" Lin Hu asked.
"Yes, yes, but is this Fourth Division really an elite unit of the Japanese army? I don't feel like it at all, do I? Cao Zheng said with a frown. It's not that the positions of the 4th Division are poorly built. It's not that the soldiers of the 4th Division are not diligent. Just because of a face-to-face feeling, the Fourth Division did not have the momentum of that elite unit. In terms of momentum, it is far from being able to compare with the remnants of the Korean Army and the 8th Division.
"You can't underestimate them, after all, they are the permanent divisions of the Japanese army, and their strength is definitely not bad. And according to our intelligence, the 5th Division is also approaching. At that time, the pressure between the enemy and the enemy will be even greater. Lin Hu said in a deep voice.
"What are you afraid of! Don't we also have reinforcements, the first division of the Southwest New Army, nearly 30,000 people, plus a famous general like General Cai Yi, we can't let the little devils take advantage. Liu Hei said indifferently.
"Don't be careless, let's talk about the combat effectiveness of the new army in the southwest first, and no one knows what their attitude is towards our northeast. What's more, they all have Japanese-made weapons, and heavy weapons also need to be drawn from the weapons we have captured, so it is unknown whether they will really cooperate with us! In addition to General Cai's name, although it is loud. We don't know if we really have that kind of strength. When the time comes, let's take action! Lin Hu sighed and said.
The total strength of the three permanent divisions of the Japanese army plus the remnants of the Korean Army is the same as the current strength of the Northeast Army, and Lin Hu may not be afraid of the Japanese in a real fight. Because of the courage to confront head-on, Lin Hu naturally didn't care about the support of Cai Yi's First Division of the New Army. In the eyes of the generals of the Northeast Army, the southwest Cai Ye and the northeast are competitors, and when the northeast defeats the Japanese, they will become enemies sooner or later. Under this kind of thinking, they are naturally wary of Cai Yi.
After all, few people know about Cai Ye and Feng Yong's sworn brothers.
"I think General Cai Ye can send the most elite troops to help us, he is definitely a patriotic man, we can't live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." Liu Hei said with a smile. The idea in his heart was that since the young marshal did not object, he even personally attended the swearing-in meeting of the first division of the new army, which must have more profound meaning, and he and the others only needed to do what the young marshal ordered.
"Lao Liu, what you said on a dog day is simple! Forget it, I can't tell you clearly. Wait for the news of the young marshal! Lin Hu gave him an angry look.
"Are we launching a tentative attack in the near future, after all, we are still in a state of hostility!" Cao Zheng thought for a while and said.
"It is not possible to go to war, although I would also like to burn the flames of war to North Korea!" Lin Hu shook his head and said.
"Damn! We can send small forces into North Korea to plunder. Grandma's, this can not only harass the Japanese army, but also find out the reality of the Japanese army, and also take the opportunity to find out the terrain in North Korea and prepare for possible battles in the future! Liu Hei rolled his eyes and said.
"Good idea!" Cao Zheng and Lin Hu's eyes lit up.
"It's nothing, on the border of Heilongjiang, Lao Tzu did this, but Lao Maozi didn't have such good equipment as us, and the situation was not good, the troops who came to loot were annihilated by us a lot, we have to be careful, we can't let the little devil make dumplings." Liu Hei talked in detail about his experience on the border of Heilongjiang.
"No wonder you have so many veterans of the Northeast Military Region, it turned out to be trained with the blood of Lao Maozi." Cao Zheng nodded with some envy. His Northwest Military District defended the vast Mongolian steppes, while the Far Eastern Army on the opposite side left only a small force to defend the Trans-Siberian Railway, and the rest had been withdrawn to the Far East. As a result, the entire Western Military District troops will not be able to catch even a single enemy hair. As for the horse bandits on the steppe, where do they dare to provoke tens of thousands of troops.
"Yes! Grandma's, I don't know what's going on, during this time, Lao Maozi is like crazy and desperately come over to loot, the density is very large, even if the loss is huge, it will not stop at all. Moreover, these people are very poorly equipped, and in the past two years, our military region has transported tens of thousands of Russian prisoners of war to Changchun alone. Even so, the Russian side did not react much at all, and small forces continued to appear. This is strange. Liu Hei also thought that it was the enemy's conspiracy, but seeing that it had lasted for so long and there was no change, his psychology gradually let go. For the Russians' death-seeking behavior, of course Liu Hei accepted it all, anyway, the foundation of the Northeast now needs a lot of cheek labor, and the tall old Maozi is the best coolie, don't say anything about the humanitarian spirit of the Northeast, Feng Yong doesn't eat that, the rise of that strength is not accompanied by a lot of white bones. And the rise of the Northeast needs the bones of foreigners is much better than sacrificing the countrymen.
"Maybe there's something going on inside Lao Maozi!" Cao Zheng sighed and said. The last time the Northeast and the Russians went to war brazenly, the Russians' performance was a mess, you know, the Northeast Army at that time did not have such a strong level of firepower and equipment as it is now, that is, the Northeast Army still beat the Russian ** team to the ground. Now comparing the combat effectiveness of the Russians and the Japanese, Liu Hei feels that the combat effectiveness of the Russians is becoming more and more unbearable.
"Everyone, put aside the Russians' affairs for now, now we are facing the Japanese, and we have seen the telegram sent to us by the young marshal last time! It seems that the young marshal has the intention of making peace. We should have prepared in advance. Lin Hu said in a low voice.
"We haven't suffered a loss in the current situation, even if it's a peace talk, it's nothing, but I hope the little devil is unwilling, so that we can continue to fight." Liu Hei said with a smile.
"Now we are very passive, although the Japanese have suffered heavy losses, but after all, they are a strong country, with great war potential and strong military mobilization capabilities. Coupled with their powerful navy, if we really fight, I am afraid that we will have more difficulty, so I think the peace talks are not bad. Cao Zheng thought for a while and said. Although when Feng Yong inquired, he still proposed to continue fighting. However, this does not mean that he thinks the peace talks are bad. After all, Tohoku needs respite too much.
"There are quite a few Japanese in our prisoner camp, and there are several Japanese generals! If it is really a negotiation, we will definitely not suffer! Liu Hei's eyes rolled, and his mind kept thinking about what benefits he would gain from negotiating in the Northeast.
"Nope! I don't think so, if the Japanese really agree to the peace talks, I'm afraid the two sides will have to fight again on the battlefield! Lin Hu said in a deep voice.
"How?"
"If the Japanese come to the negotiating table with a couple of big routs, do you think they will be able to curry favor? Besides, is our young marshal the kind of person who is willing to suffer? Once the two sides negotiate, they will definitely reach a stalemate at the initial stage, and if they want to continue talking, they must continue to compete on the battlefield. Compared with national strength, we are inferior to Japan, because Japan will not give up attacking by force. Therefore, we should prepare early, if the little devil comes, we are giving him a ruthless, and then fight a big victory, and the little devil will be hurt and scared, then we will really win! Lin Hu analyzed carefully.
"Okay, Lao Lin, it's only been a long time! You're an expert! Liu Hei said with a smile.
"In that case, it is imperative for us to test the Japanese! It is necessary to find out the operational characteristics of several divisions and regiments of the Japanese army, and at the same time to agitate the resistance organizations in Korea. Although the Koreans are nestled, there are still a few who are unwilling. Cao Zheng added.
"That's right! I'll send a special combat team to infiltrate North Korea first. Let's find out first! ”
