Chapter 318: The Wind and Rain of the Eastern Crusade Shakes Harbin
In the middle of May, Jingyuetan has been green and proud, and the trees have been moistened and sterilized by the snow water, which looks more vibrant, but under the scene of hope for rebirth, it is a group of people with a touch of sadness, including the elderly, children, and a beautiful young woman with a strong belly.
"Xue Nai, you were born in the Northeast and died in Jingyuetan, I don't know if you were reluctant to leave the Northeast to choose this place. Today, I take my mother and Junxia and your two nieces, I will bury you again, and I swear to you that as long as I live for one day, I will not let anyone disturb the peace of you and your children. ”
"Yukina, are you okay with the child over there?" Lin Junxiong knelt in front of a delicate grave, at this moment he was not the god of war in the northern part of China that shocked the world, he was just an ordinary person who had lost his beloved, and the hero shed blood, but at this moment he couldn't help but cry.
Cai Yuexiu stepped forward slowly, brushed a few handfuls of soil on the grave, and said sadly: "Xue Nai's daughter-in-law, eldest grandson, my mother has come to see you, are you okay over there?" Is it cold or not? If you need something, you can tell us in a dream, you don't enjoy peace in life, don't wronged yourself over there. ”
Lin Junxia led Eun Xi to Cai Yuexiu's side and comforted her, and Eun Xi also comforted her grandmother with childishness and said, "Grandma, Aunt Xue, they will be fine, don't cry." ”
Lin Junxia didn't comfort Lin Junxiong, because he knew that he had hidden too much sadness in his heart in the past few years, and now that the blood revenge has been avenged, maybe only the unstoppable heroic tears can make him relieved.
After venting his sadness, Lin Junxiong looked at Lin Junxia with pity, he didn't want her to come this time, but Lin Junxia insisted on coming to see his sister, he stepped forward and held his lover's hand, this woman who was wholeheartedly devoted to herself did not get angry when she fell in love with Xue Nai, but pitied Xue Nai very much.
"Old baby, I will definitely cherish you and the two little babies, and we will be happy together."
Lin Junxia nodded with a smile that turned all beings upside down, took his hand, and said sideways: "Sister Xue Nai, you can rest assured that our man will be handed over to me, I will take good care of him, you also have to take care of yourself over there, love is sweet, love is also bitter, only those who have experienced true love will understand, we all want to be happy." ”
Xiao Enxi didn't know when she went to pick a handful of wildflowers nearby, she carefully put it in front of the grave, and muttered in a low voice: "Aunt Xue, brother, Eunxi is leaving, next time I come to see you, you have to be happy." ”
There is always time for the sad footsteps to stop, and the people related to Xue Nai's tragedy in Jingyuetan are all dead, Lin Junxiong knows that he still has the heavy responsibility of driving away the Japanese invaders on his shoulders, and he is also responsible for the happy future of his family, and it is time to say goodbye to the past.
After Lin Junxiong sent his family back to Lotus Mountain, he immediately rushed to Jingyu County, the heads of Cheng Yubin and Ryuichiro Kishitani had been sent to Yang Jingyu's grave, and the body of Zhang Linfeng, who had repented, was also sent there.
After dealing with the memorial to Yang Jingyu, Lin Junxiong returned to Lianhua Mountain and began to deal with the devils in Rehe and prepare for the Battle of Harbin.
Umezu Mijiro was extremely depressed, the two divisions besieged in Harbin kept asking for help, and after he ignored them, they complained to the Army General Staff, and after many delays, someone in the Army Staff found out that he was the culprit of the defeat of the Kwantung Army, and the Army Staff even had the intention of replacing him, and under multiple pressures, knowing that the New First Army besieging Harbin must be a siege point for reinforcements, he also had to send five divisions to reinforce in the direction of Harbin.
The result was not unexpected, the five divisions of the Japanese army that Hulunbuir rushed to were ambushed by a column north of Qiqihar, although they also showed tenacious combat effectiveness, but these five divisions were only the reserve troops of the Kwantung Army, not at all the opponents of the well-equipped new army, the two sides fought fiercely for two days, and after the Japanese army was damaged by nearly half, it still did not advance an inch, and the devil commander hurriedly commanded the troops to the east, trying to raid Jiamusi, tearing a gap from there, advancing to Harbin, and joining the defenders there.
The 107th Division of the Fourth Column, which had been waiting for a long time, under the command of Gou Yu, violently blocked the attack according to the favorable terrain, coupled with the 102nd Division of Shangguan Yingwei who came later, and the two sides fought for less than a day, and when there were only more than 10,000 casualties left in the devil's army, they showed a state of complete collapse and fled in all directions.
When the devils of the five divisions on the northern border were engaged with the new first army near Qiqihar, the Japanese army in Harbin attacked a division and prepared to respond, but it was attacked by the 101st Division of the first column ambushed south of Qiqihar, and the devil's troops hurriedly withdrew to Harbin and never dared to leave the city again.
When the fighting was fierce in the Qiqihar area, Umezu Mijiro took the last six elite divisions of the Kwantung Army in Hulunbuir to stand still, he did not want to help, but the intelligence department got the latest news, the Soviet Red Army on the eastern front of nearly 300,000 people moved frequently, there was a tendency to attack the northeast, in order to guard against the Soviet Red Army and the new first army from the north and south, he ordered the troops to strengthen the defense, his own deployment of the three lines of defense has been somewhat insufficient, let alone the battle of Qiqihar.
Most of the troops of the first, second, and fourth columns of the new First Army approached Harbin, and the encirclement of Harbin continued to shrink, coupled with the Harbin underground party's two-month attack strategy in the city, as well as the news that the devil reinforcements near Qiqihar and a division in Harbin suffered heavy injuries spread, for a time Harbin was in a stormy situation, and a multi-division regiment stationed in the city no longer had the arrogance of a few years ago, panicked like a lost dog, and had no more heart to resist, and the only hope was not to win the war, but to be alive after the war.
After the garrison headquarters regained a large area of land to the east and north of Rehe, it stationed troops on the northeastern border of Rehe and Inner Mongolia to guard against the sudden westward escape of Umezu Mijiro's headquarters in the direction of Hulunbuir.
At the same time, Feng Zhansong led the Sixth Column to clear the Japanese troops in the southwest of Rehe Province, and the strong combat effectiveness of the New First Army had already made the Japanese garrisons in various places who were not superior in numbers have no heart to resist, and they fled westward one after another, and by the end of June, the entire territory of Rehe was recovered by the New First Army.
When the New First Army was engaged in the Japanese army in Harbin and the Rehe area, the Kuomintang army took the opportunity to gather a large number of troops to attack the Japanese troops in Hebei and Shanxi, and although they paid heavy casualties, they also won the victory with difficulty, and most of the territory north of Hebei was recovered except for Inner Mongolia.
In July 1944, the Allies also achieved a suppressive victory in the European theater, due to Hitler's stupid moves, Rommel was removed from the post of African commander-in-chief, and the African Allied forces led by the British army took the opportunity to counterattack, and the German-Italian coalition army was defeated one after another, and the Italian government soon chose to surrender.
Italy surrendered in the Axis powers, Japan weakened in the Pacific theater, and even more so in China, leaving only Germany to support itself, and the future of the world anti-fascist war was bright, and various conspiracies between the great powers began to be staged gradually.
First, the Allies, led by Britain and the United States, began to secretly discuss the division of interests after the war, and then the Soviet Union agreed to the terms of Britain and the United States and decided to launch an attack on the remnants of the Japanese Kwantung Army in the northeast in August.
Stikov put 300,000 Soviet Red Army troops on the Sino-Soviet border, first suppressing the Kwantung Army from momentum, but he was still afraid of the Kwantung Army's desperate blow, and tried to wait for the new First Army and the Kwantung Army to fight a decisive battle in Hulunbuir, and then attack to reap the benefits of the fishermen.
Umezu Yoshijiro received an order from the Army General Staff to provoke a war between the Soviet Red Army and the New First Army at the cost of the sacrifice of a division, and then look for fighters to bypass the defense line of the New First Army and insert into the rear of the New First Army, so that the situation that had just stabilized in the Northeast was stirred up into chaos, and then send troops from Hokkaido to capture Dalian, Lushun and other important ports, and regain the initiative in the Northeast.
On August 15, 1944, in the area of the main peak of Buyun Mountain in the hills of eastern Liaodong, Lin Junxiong and the high-ranking officers of the Fifth Column got together, and he had just finished inspecting the defensive line of the hills of the Fifth Column in Liaodong.
Hu Xianqiang, who was anxious, couldn't help but ask: "Commander Lin, Harbin has already become our bag, why don't we take it in one fell swoop, and then go all out to attack the Japanese army Hulunbuir to participate in the troops?" ”
Diao Yongyun and Yun Dong also looked at Lin Junxiong, as if they did not understand that the three columns of the New First Army had besieged Harbin for several months and did not attack, and it could be said that they were waiting for an opportunity, but Qiqihar eliminated five divisions of the devil in the first battle, and there was only one more division left in Harbin, and it had long been demoralized, why did most of the New First Army concentrate near Harbin and delay the attack?
Lin Junxiong smiled and said: "Harbin has long been out of our strategic considerations, and we can capture it whenever we want." According to reliable information, Stikov has already deployed 300,000 Soviet Red Army troops on the Sino-Soviet border, and we must wait patiently for the other side to make a move, and when the time comes, the first, second, and fourth columns and the garrison headquarters will be dispatched together, and more than 200,000 people should be able to inflict heavy losses on the invading Soviet Red Army. ”
After hearing this, Yun Dong asked with some concern: "Commander Lin, do you really want to start a war with the Soviet Red Army?" ”
Lin Junxiong was silent, and only sighed after a while: "The battle between our new First Army and the Soviet Red Army seems inevitable, and I have already consulted the Party Central Committee to indicate that the territory of the country has been broken for more than ten years, and now it has been lost and recovered. Although the Party Central Committee did not reply, I think it was probably negotiating with the Soviet Union. ”
Lin Junxiong did not say all the thoughts in his heart, he knew that the Soviet Union's dispatch of troops could not be changed, and he had already strengthened his determination in his heart, the Party Central Committee was embarrassed, and he could not make trouble for the Party Central Committee, if the Soviet Union marched into China, then his final battle in the northeast would be the Soviet Union, and perhaps it would be his curtain call on Chinese soil.
