416. Historical coincidences
Bai Shujie determined the future course of action for himself, and at the same time ordered Hou Zide's troops on the Chifeng side to strengthen the monitoring of the enemy, only then did he look back and re-examine the current predicament faced by Rehe Province, and always felt that the situation was very strange.
In fact, Bai Shujie made a mistake of "inertial thinking"!
His mind is full of the relevant historical materials of "China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression" that he knew in his previous life, so when analyzing the various signs in front of him, he will always unconsciously return to the original historical trajectory to consider the problem. But he forgot who he was, what he did, and what a ripple effect it would have!
First of all, today's "918 Incident" has completely subverted the original ending!
The little devil did not get the chariot regiment (tank regiment) of the young marshal Liuzi, and there were four less tank squadrons. The Kwantung Army, which was arrogant in history, was defeated in the Great Wall battle because there were no tanks to help the battle! Nothing but the consumption of a large number of soldiers, weapons and ammunition!
didn't get the 260 planes of the little marshal Liuzi, the aviation of the Kwantung Army of the little devil is still two squadrons, and 15 of them have been killed by Bai Shujie, and now it is a problem to even have a squadron full attendance! In all the subsequent battles, the little devil had no air support, and his combat capability was already halfway there!
Without getting the Northeast Army's Fengtian Ordnance Depot, the little devil's Kwantung Army did not get the original 315 cannons of the Northeast Army, nor did it get 12 million shells! Since the little devil launched the "918 Incident", every time it has been a war of attrition, and now it is no longer available!
It did not get the "Fengtian Ordnance Factory" of the Northeast Army -- this was the largest arsenal in Asia in those years, which was capable of producing one battalion of light and heavy weapons and equipment and 500,000 rounds of ammunition every day, and was capable of producing cannons and shells of various calibers such as 37mm, 75mm, and 105mm!
This arsenal is now in Bai Shujie's "Three Immortal Caves" base area, and the little devil's conspiracy to "feed war with war" has completely failed!
Second, the fundamental guiding ideology of the Kwantung Army in launching the "September 18 Incident" was to take over all the war materials of the Northeast Army and then use these equipment to rearm the Kwantung Army. Next, we will make use of the resources of the three eastern provinces to draw local materials, give full play to the advantages of "Asia's No. 1 arsenal", and get rid of the Kwantung Army's dependence on the island's military industrial enterprises!
Because of Bai Shujie's appearance, all attempts by the Kwantung Army to launch the "918 Incident" were broken! Nothing but vast land was gained.
In order to solve Bai Shujie and seize the strategic place of Rehe, the little devil launched three battles successively, but the loss of troops was not to mention, and the weapons and ammunition stored by the Kwantung Army were exhausted!
Third, the Kwantung Army launched the "918 Incident" without the authorization of the military headquarters of the base camp on the island, and there were many contradictions!
The Kwantung Army has always had a tradition of "going down and going up", and in 1931 it launched the "918 Incident" without authorization, in order to create a fait accompli and force the base camp and the Prime Minister's cabinet to carry out their expansion.
As a result, the wishful thinking did not start, not only offended all the Western powers, but also "created" such a powerful opponent as Bai Shujie!
After a series of defeats, the status and deterrence of the Kwantung Army on the main island of Dwarf have declined sharply, and now the military headquarters no longer takes the various "strong demands" of the Kwantung Army seriously!
It was precisely because the dwarf island's military industrial enterprises found out that the Kwantung Army wanted to get rid of its own control and then set up its own door, so those enterprises were "willingly" blackmailed by Bai Shujie and "compensated" Bai Shujie for all the heavy weapons that were originally prepared to be equipped for the Kwantung Army!
This intention is very clear: If you Kwantung Army still want to make achievements and can still speak to the military headquarters, then obediently return to the island to "plead guilty" -- ask for forgiveness from the major military industrial enterprises, and then obediently send over all kinds of strategic materials looted in exchange for the weapons you need! And not as it is now, to prepare to build its own arsenal on the Korean Peninsula!
Since ancient times, the military has served interest groups. To put it more technically, it is the so-called "war is an extension of politics"!
To put it bluntly, the army is nothing but a thug of various interest groups, and it is for interest groups to take care of their homes! The Kwantung Army was arrogant and domineering, with no one in sight, and there were already many complaints on the island. Now that Bai Shujie is used to teach the Kwantung Army a lesson, it depends on how the Kwantung Army will reflect next.
Fourth, for the sake of their own face and to find a more haode step, the Kwantung Army launched a seven-way siege against Rehe. It is hoped that he can win by luck and reverse the image of the Kwantung Army in the eyes of the islanders.
To this end, the Kwantung Army took out all its strategic reserves and issued ammunition for a campaign base to all participating units. I hope that the victory will be decided in one battle, and the shadow of "Zhina Devil Bai Shujie" in my heart will be completely erased!
It's a pity that good wishes are one thing, and the harsh reality is another.
The Kwantung Army went all out to deal with Bai Shujie in Rehe, which was an open move, which naturally attracted everyone's attention, even serious attention. Among them, there is General Yang Jingyu, the "Commander-in-Chief of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army"!
As mentioned above, General Yang Jingyu in this era is completely different from the original. Bai Shujie not only sent a large amount of equipment, but also copied a copy of the top-secret map of the Daqingshan secret camp to him! The food and ammunition in it were enough to "equip two divisions" according to the establishment of the anti-Japanese coalition army!
In mid-February 1935, the strength of the Kwantung Army moved westward, and this news was obtained by the "Southern Yang and Northern Zhao" (Southern Manchurian Yang Jingyu, Northern Manchurian Zhao Shangzhi) of the Anti-Japanese Allied Army at the same time. The little devils have no time to take care of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army, and this is an excellent opportunity to develop and grow.
On 9 February, Zhao Shangzhi commanded the troops directly under the headquarters of the Third Army to start from Wuchang County, coerce Bin County, and cut off the connection between Harbin and Yanshou County and Fangzheng County.
On February 10, the Suining Anti-Japanese Allied Army was officially reorganized into the Fifth Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army, with Zhou Baozhong as the commander.
On 15 February, the "Declaration on the Unified Establishment of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces" was issued, and the anti-Japanese armies of various names in South and North Manchuria were unified into the First to Seventh Armies, with Yang Jingyu, Wang Detai, Zhao Shangzhi, Li Yanlu, Zhou Baozhong, Xia Yunjie, and Li Xuefu serving as commanders respectively. The number of this force has now reached more than 55,000.
On February 27, Zhao Shangzhi's 1st Regiment of the 3rd Army began to attack Yanshou County, and engaged in a fierce battle with the puppet military and police at Guanmenzuizi, near Zhonghe Town.
On March 9, that is, when the 33rd Brigade was mixed into the little devils to attack the front line of Jinxi and Suizhong, Zhao Shangzhi, Li Huatang, Xie Wendong, Qi Mingshan and others led the combined army to conquer Fangzheng County, and captured 179 puppet military police chief and short guns, 9 Czech light machine guns, and an ammunition depot.
On March 10, the combined army advanced again under the command of Zhao Shangzhi, and after a day of fierce fighting, took Yanshou County, and captured 191 Liao 13 rifles, 18 imitation Czech light machine guns, and 12 mortars!
All the strategic materials in the two counties of Fangzheng County and Yanshou County were obtained by the anti-Japanese coalition forces of Zhao Shangzhi and others, and the North Manchurian anti-Japanese coalition army was suddenly shocked. The backyard of the little devil caught fire, and the provincial capital Harbin was in danger!
At the same time that Zhao Shangzhi of North Manchuria showed his might, General Yang Jingyu of South Manchurian acted even more ruthlessly, and directly stirred up the territory of Jilin!
On 15 March, Li Hongguang led the First Division of the First Army to intercept the enemy's automobile convoy at Huoyiling, Liuhe County, Jilin Province, annihilating a squad of more than 60 people of the escort convoy and burning 13 cars. 45 Type 38 rifles, 8 crooked machine guns, 8 grenadiers, as well as a large quantity of ammunition, first-aid medicines, and logistical supplies were seized.
On this day, a train of munitions urgently transferred by the little devil Kwantung Army from the 20th Division stationed in North Korea was blown up by the third company of Chen Jie's task force on the railway south of Benxi!
At the same time, Chen Jie led the first and second companies of the task force from the secret camp of the ancient tomb and eliminated the Hushitai barracks north of Fengtian City. Destroyed the devils of the two squads, and blew up the ammunition depot of the little devils on the first line of Montenegro and Zhangwu!
On March 18, Wei Chong commanded the Rao'an Independent Regiment to occupy Jinghai County, and by mistake, Tada Jun was almost captured alive! Zuihou sacrificed a squadron of cavalry to barely escape back into the Tianjin Concession.
Subsequently, Bai Shujie ordered Gubeikou, Huangyaguan, and Xifengkou to intensify their counterattacks, and Duotianjun's "Tianjin Garrison Army" fell into dire straits!
On 21 March, Wang Detai's Independent Division of the Second Army held a joint meeting of the political commissars of the First and Second Armies of the People's Revolutionary Army in Yuanyinggou, Wangqing County, Jilin Province.
On March 22, the two armies jointly dispatched, Yang Jingyu led the troops directly under the headquarters of the First Army to capture Hongtuya Town and Weishahe Town in Linjiang County, Wang Detai's First and Second Regiments of the Independent Division of the Second Army captured Dadianzi in Antu, and Linjiang County of the little devil was lost.
It was also on this day that the little devils ceased fire on all fronts around Rehe Province!
On April 3, Bai Shujie received a telegram from Chen Jie: informing him of a series of actions of the anti-Japanese coalition forces, and at the same time reporting the news that the first wing of the first division of the North Korean Second Devil Regiment, which had been reinforced from Benxi, had begun to withdraw its troops.
"I see!" Bai Shujie suddenly realized: "The little devil's backyard caught fire, and the arms couldn't be helped!" ”
After a quick glance at the map, Bai Shujie immediately shouted, "Lamei, record the telegram." Order: The Guards Division is hidden in the headquarters of Guan Xingguo in Daqinggou, and all of them will be dispatched to Zhangwu County at eight o'clock tomorrow night, and an attack will be launched at twelve o'clock in the evening. ”
"Order: Chen Jie's task force immediately dispatched covertly and crossed Fengtian City to attack Zhangwu County. Tomorrow night at twelve o'clock to launch an attack from the east and occupy the Zhangwu railway station. Then cooperate with the cavalry battalion of Guan Xingguo's department to comprehensively sweep away the remnants of the enemy in the county and cover Guan Xingguo's cavalry to operate and take supplies. ”
"Order: Xia Enze will lead all the mobile troops of the Guards Division to dispatch at twelve o'clock tonight, interspersed between the Qinglongshan Fortress and the Gaojiagou Fortress to hide on the front line of the camp, and launch a full-scale attack at twelve o'clock tomorrow night! Among them, Qi Hongyi led the first regiment of armored heavy machine gun battalion and air defense battalion to occupy Ping'an Township in the west of Zhangwu County and attack the second brigade of the 26th Wing of the Little Devil Cavalry. ”
Deng Xiuyan led the heavy machine gun battalion and air defense battalion of the 2nd Regiment to attack the Kulun Banner and attack the first brigade of the 26th Cavalry Wing. Ding Jianming led the cavalry battalion of the second regiment, directly inserted into the Horqin Left Banner and occupied it, and then closely monitored the enemy in Tongliao. Xia Enze led the third regiment of Xu Chenglong's headquarters as a general reserve, ready to strike at the enemy on the Kailu front line at any time. ”
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
