Volume 3 Chapter 59 The Battle Begins
"Division commander, the enemy is coming. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Long Yi next to him reminded that Wang Lung was lying on a hillside two miles away from the road at this time. Wang Lung raised the binoculars, and sure enough, the enemy came, but the puppet army was not covered, and they were very cautious, and the scouts were placed one mile away from the road. The enemy's first brigade, about 1,500 men, rode forward on horseback, and in this way, walked for half an hour before disappearing from Wang Lung's field of vision.
Wang Lung saw that Wang Lung's cavalry had gone away and sat down: "Long Yi, Xuan Yi, you said that after we win this anti-encirclement and suppression, what should we do!" ”
"If we win, I think we will fight to Ulanqab, knock Ulanqab down, and slowly develop the base area with our backs to Ulanqab, division commander, what do you think." As soon as Xuan saw that Wang Long's battle had not yet been fought, he was thinking about what would happen after the victory, and replied with a smile.
After hearing this, Wang Lung did not speak, but smiled. Ran Xuanyi is not a person of this era, but he doesn't know these problems of later generations, and Wang Lung knows that the devil will put the main force in most regions such as North China, Northeast China, and South, and the devil is most concerned about the Northeast, and the devil will never give an existence that can threaten him, so if Wang Lung really laid down Ulanqab and developed in Ulanqab, then it really touched the devil's beard.
Japan's war of aggression against China was originally started by occupying the three eastern provinces, no matter from any point of view, there is no difference in strength between China's Northeast Army and Japan, when there were nearly 24 million people in Northeast China, Zhang Zuolin had China's most elite sea, land and air forces in Northeast China, and the railways in Northeast China have always been in the hands of the Northeast Army, while the Japanese army stationed in Northeast China is only 200,000, on the surface, no matter how it is fought, it is impossible for the Japanese army to occupy Northeast China in a short period of time, However, the fact is that Tohoku was occupied by Japanese troops in a very short period of time.
Needless to say, the three northeastern provinces played a huge role in Japan, not only coal and iron and steel mines, but also agriculture and grain alone to greatly support Japan's war needs.
It is important to know that the black soil is the most fertile land in the world, and the Northeast is one of the only three black soils in the world; The other two black soils in the world are in the Great Plain of Ukraine on the Dnieper River in the Soviet Union, where the black soil is huge and is known as the granary of Europe; The other is the Mississippi River Basin in the United States, with a huge area of black soil, which is the largest producer of corn and cotton in the United States.
The black soil area of the Northeast is larger than that of the United States. From this point of view, the Japanese Ishihara Waner's statement about the lifeline of Manchuria was very appropriate, and later proved to be so, but it is a pity that such a large piece of fine land became a rear base used by the enemy to attack himself at the critical moment when the fate of the country changed the fate of the country in World War II.
The most fundamental reason for Japan's occupation of Northeast China is the development of industry, although the Japanese troops do not have much advantage in terms of the number of troops and combat strength, but before the Japanese army carried out a full-scale invasion of the three northeastern provinces, the first to invade the three eastern provinces was their chamber of commerce, compared with the traditional Chinese enterprises, Japan accepted the profound impact of the industrial revolution at the same time, but also brought their industrial development and economic model to the northeast province of China, the effect of Japan's vanguard is quite obvious, In less than a year, it has basically grasped the lifeblood of the economy of Northeast China, and this is what Japan wants to see the most, because even in the entire war of aggression against China, Japan's greatest need is to plunder China, and this model has obviously achieved great success in Northeast China.
The next thing is to push the boat down the river, through the explosion incident to kill Zhang Zuolin and a series of political operations and military oppression, China's three eastern provinces fell into the hands of Japan, Japan's first invasion of the Northeast In addition to an important strategic springboard consideration, there is also an important factor because the Northeast has a large number of oil resources, China's largest oil field and the first oil field started from the Northeast, and China's heavy industry also started from the Northeast. Part of this is based on Japan's composition for the development of Tohoku.
According to Japan's conception at that time, the underground oil resources in Northeast China could support Japan's use for 300 years.
Although Ulanqab is still far away from the three northeastern provinces, Wang Lung learned from the information of later generations that there is no large-scale anti-Japanese force west of Chengde, and some are only some small teams, and in Ulanqab can threaten the transportation line of weapons and ammunition produced from the northeast.
And even when the Japanese devils surrendered, they were still firmly in control of the northeast of China, and after the devils surrendered, GMD wanted the northeast at all costs.
Xuanyi didn't know what Wang Lung was thinking, and seeing that he was thinking so intently, he didn't speak anymore, and walked towards the hidden troops, leaving Wang Lung alone to think quietly.
"Division commander, the second echelon of the puppet army is here." Long Yi next to him pulled Wang Long, who was in a trance.
Looking at the second echelon of the puppet army in the telescope, a smile appeared on the corner of Wang Lung's mouth. Because the enemy army in his eyes not only did not send search soldiers, but also did not even have sharp soldiers, could Wang Lung not laugh.
Xuan Yi, who had just gone to inspect the troops, quietly came to Wang Lung's side, saw the scene in front of him, and smiled when he saw the puppet army coming here.
The waiting time passed really slowly, and finally the puppet army of the first echelon left Wang Long's sight. After hearing the signal from the scouts that it was safe, Wang Lung immediately ordered his troops to build an ambush position.
After all the troops were quietly lying on their positions, the scouts came with the latest information, and the puppet army had 20 minutes to enter the ambush circle. Wang Lung immediately ordered his troops to prepare for battle.
As time passed, the puppet army finally appeared in view. Looking at the puppet army that was getting closer and closer, Wang Lung quietly loaded the rifle in his hand and aimed at the first enemy soldier who hit the head.
"The division commander, the brother of the rearguard reported that the puppet army has all entered the ambush circle." Due to several successive victories, Wang Lung's troops had already used field telephones to contact them.
"Bump" Wang Lung fired the first shot of the ambush battle, and with the sound of gunfire, the artillery position that had been prepared for a long time immediately fired the first round of shells, and all the heavy machine guns and light machine guns spewed out tongues of fire that harvested human lives.
