001 The new situation
At this time in the original history, China and Japan were in a period of relative peace, the Kwantung Army was tired after the Battle of Rehe, so it needed to rest, and the Nationalist Government was busy suppressing the Communists, using millions of troops near Ruijin in Jiangxi. However, the addition of special combat personnel has made the current situation in the four eastern provinces somewhat complicated, and on the whole it presents an unfavorable situation for the Japanese army.
The greatest threat to the Kwantung Army came from the Soviet side, the Soviet Army in Heilongjiang, the Ussuri River, and the Manchurian-Mongolian border had a total of 300,000 troops in the Far Eastern Front composed of five group armies, an aviation division with more than 100 TB3 bombers and more than 100 I-15 fighters, and the troops on the Manchurian-Mongolian border had two group armies, one of which was the armored group army temporarily formed by the commander-in-chief Tukhachevsky, with more than 600 T-26 tanks and more than 800 BT-2 and BT-5 tanks, and the other group army was a cavalry group armyIn addition to the establishment of the two army groups, there was a separate heavy artillery brigade with 120 B-4 203mm howitzers known as "Stalin's hammer".
Mikhail? Nikolaevich? General Tukhachevsky was famous in the Soviet Red Army for his tactical theory of "great depth", but since he put forward this set of tactical theories, which was very advanced and avant-garde at that time, there has not been much opportunity to test the correctness of this theory through actual combat, so the cavalry general General Budyonny has always tried to refute his theory, believing that the cavalry is the king of the battlefield.
This time, the Japanese Kwantung Army played with fire**, Kamo's troops were exposed, and they also recklessly challenged the Soviet Far East Special Army before, causing dozens of casualties among the Soviet Red Army soldiers, and the angry Stalin sent General Tukhachevsky, who was still the head of the General Armament Department at this time, as the commander-in-chief to teach the Kwantung Army a lesson, and he just took this opportunity to prove to Stalin the correctness of his theory of great depth, so at the beginning, the two group armies on the Manchurian-Mongolian border launched a sharp attack, and more than 100 "Stalin's hammers" of the independent heavy artillery brigade At the same time, fire was fired, and a heavy artillery bombardment of the positions of the 6th Division of the Kwantung Army in front of them was launched for half an hour. 203mm grenades weighing 100 kg fell on the heads of the Japanese army one after another, hundreds of T-26 tanks covered thousands of Red Army soldiers with the aftermath of the "Stalin's hammer" to launch a group charge, the 6th Division suddenly collapsed, and in the next ten hours, the Japanese army was quickly divided and surrounded by Soviet tanks and cavalry in the vast Mongolian steppe and annihilated, Tukhachevsky led the two group armies all the way to the southeast, and arrived at the foot of the Great Khing'an Mountains in only 3 days, The depth of the battlefield reached more than 400 kilometers, and the staff officers of the Kwantung Army Command in Ryokarakami had broken through the stop line of the Soviet army's offensive drawn on the map again and again, and Okamura Ninji, who was temporarily promoted to chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, was also very anxious, and the armored army of the Soviet Red Army, which was close to the Great Khingan Mountains, had no intention of stopping the offensive after receiving the fuel and ammunition supplies airdropped by the TB-3, and the Far Eastern Special Army east of the Ussuri River on the eastern front also approached the Changbai Mountains. The two group armies of the northern front also crossed the Qinghei Mountains into the Sanjiang Plain, captured Hegang and Jiamusi, the Kwantung Army was already a tired division after the Battle of the Great Wall, plus more than 20 people of the wolf's teeth tossed for a month, in the face of the sudden intervention of the Soviet Red Army in the battlefield for a while, at this time Feng Yuxiang and Ji Hongchang led the Chahar Anti-Japanese Allied Army also launched a fierce attack on Rehe, successively recovered Kangbao, Guyuan and Baochang, and the troops were under the city of Duolun, and the entire Kwantung Army was already in danger.
The 29th Army on the south side of the Great Wall also took out a posture of being ready to attack at any time, and Song Zheyuan, chairman of Hebei Province, was instructed by the Nanjing government to maintain a high-pressure military posture against the Japanese army, but there was no need to actually send troops, as long as it sought international support, because this time the Japanese bacteriological troops were stabbed in a hornet's nest, and the entire Western countries unanimously condemned the despicable acts of the Japanese Kwantung Army, and the League of Nations, which dragged its feet in the "918" incident, showed their extremely high work efficiency for the first time. Of course, the purpose of these Western capitalists is not to sanction the Japanese, but to obtain more benefits from the Japanese, so the rapid offensive of the Soviet Union not only made Tokyo panic, but also caught Western countries off guard, how can they tolerate the Soviet Union, the first country, to meddle in Northeast China, so in the name of "peaceful settlement" jointly put pressure on the Soviet Union, Stalin, who felt outnumbered, also had to order Tukhachevsky to suspend military operations.
In the end, under international pressure, the Japanese authorities could only agree to open all Japanese-controlled ports in Northeast China, allow Western countries and the Soviet Union to open factories in major cities in Northeast China, and allow countries to trade freely in the three eastern provinces. When he returned to Moscow, he was promoted to the rank of marshal together with Budyonny and four others because of this battle, becoming the youngest of the first five marshals of the Soviet Union. The League of Nations did not challenge Japan again after obtaining benefits.
Chiang Kai-shek in Nanjing was full of hope that this time the League of Nations would definitely uphold justice for China, so after Dai Li handed over the news brought to him by Zhuang Yan to Chiang Kai-shek, Chiang Kai-shek immediately arranged for a large newspaper to report on it, and sent a telegram condemning the ugly acts of the Japanese army, in order to show that he stood aside with the British and American sides, and once again asked the League of Nations to sanction Japan and return Rehe and the three eastern provinces. Chiang Kai-shek, who learned of the results, greeted Roosevelt, Chamberlain, and Stalin's relatives several times in his office, but he was helpless except for scolding a few words of "Niang Xipi". "There is no diplomacy in a weak country", these five words once again hit Chairman Chiang's heart, and he really spared no effort to suppress the Communist Party, but at the same time, he was also a staunch patriot.
The Chinese Soviet Government in Ruijin, Jiangxi Province, also sent a telegram as soon as it learned of the news of the Kamo troops, condemning the Japanese imperialists' disregard for international conventions, of course, only condemnation, and they were surrounded by Chiang Kai-shek's troops, and they could not do anything else.
Dongfang Yunming and his group of 24 people in the northeast's "nightmare" operation can be described as "one stone stirs up a thousand waves", this morning, Gao Wenfeng and Fan Tianlei were on a balcony of the division headquarters, seeing the news in the newspaper and the war report, Gao Wenfeng could only smile bitterly at Fan Tianlei: "Old Fan, look at it, these wolf cubs can really toss!" ”
Fan Tianlei said: "You are his old instructor, there must be a teacher, there must be an apprentice!" ”
Gao Wenfeng shook his head: "Dongfang Yunming's combat style is not like me at all, he is like another person!" ”
"Who?"
"The first captain of the Lone Wolf Special Commando, Lei Keming." Gao Wenfeng replied calmly, "I'm also very strange, when Dongfang Yunming entered the wolf's teeth, Lei Keming had already been transferred to the Northwest Military Region, but the insidious and cunning of these two people are exactly the same!" Do you know that among the rookies in Dongfang Yunming's issue, he was the only one who did not have any obvious scars on his body after passing the training camp. ”
"yes, I don't know." Fan Tianlei was a little surprised.
Gao Wenfeng still said calmly: "At that time, his comprehensive strength was the strongest in the entire training team, but he was lagging behind in all the training subjects, just exceeding the qualified level, and I sweated for him in every assessment, but every time he was able to save the day, until he won me in the final jungle confrontation drill, I didn't know that the previous mediocrity was deliberately pretended by him, the golden mean, because we instructors always like to repair those who are on the top." An absolutely resourceful special forces like him, I've only seen one Lei Keming. ”
Fan Tianlei nodded and said, "It depends on whether he has the ability of Lei Keming this time, and he and Ye Cunxin can escape from the encirclement of devils safely." ”
"I'm sure he can!" Gao Wenfeng said confidently, "I brought him out!" And he's better than me! ”
Fan Tianlei smiled: "I also said that Dongfang Yunming is not like you, but you are so confident." Hey, Lao Gao, if he really comes back, how can you explain to him the letter of appointment just issued by the Nanjing Military Committee? You are a regular, but he left his post to retain his title. ”
Gao Wenfeng smiled contemptuously and said, "If he minds this little thing, he won't be a soldier taught by my wild wolf." ”
At this time, Dongfang Yunming's voice behind the dog-headed old man said loudly: "What kind of power of attorney?" How can a scheme that even you can see can fool me? Gao Wenfeng turned around and saw the heavily armed Dongfang Yunming and Ye Cunxin walking towards him, their camouflage combat uniforms were already torn everywhere, especially Dongfang Yunming's back was cut by the wreckage of the plane, if it weren't for the cover of the backpack, he would definitely be pointed at all the way.
Fan Tianlei turned his head and saw the two of them, smiled and said, "Yo, say Cao Cao Cao has arrived." ”
Gao Wenfeng's face sank: "I thought you two were on your honeymoon, it's been twenty days, and if you don't come back, I should have a memorial service!" ”
Dongfang Yunming turned his head to Ye Cunxin and said, "Look at me, this dog-headed old Gao Zhun is thinking about holding a memorial service for us." Then asked Gao Wenfeng: "What?" Did the Nanjing commission think that the two of us were hung up and appointed you as the division commander? ”
Gao Wenfeng was taken aback: "How do you know?" ”
Dongfang Yunming said: "The general star on your collar badge told me. ”
Gao Wenfeng touched his collar and smiled: "Good guess!" Then he walked back to the office, picked up the letter of appointment and the commendation order on the table, handed it to Dongfang Yunming, and said, "Take a look!" Our heroic martyr Dongfang Yunming! ”
Dongfang Yunming took it and looked at it, and the commendation order read: "According to investigation, Dongfang Yunming, the commander of the new 6th Division of the National Revolutionary Army, and the soldier Ye Cunxin, fought to the end with an enemy several times their own and died bravely. Then the letter of appointment reads: "Gao Wenfeng, deputy commander of the new 6th Division of the former National Revolutionary Army, is appointed as the commander of the new 6th Division, and his rank is promoted to major general." ”
Dongfang Yunming glared and said, "What does this Chairman Jiang mean?" He really thinks that I died heroically, and it is 'according to investigation' that it is enough to posthumously award a lieutenant general, and I will not be given bonuses, nutrition fees, and mental damage expenses? ”
Ye Cunxin took the commendation order and looked at it, and immediately disagreed: "Hey, if you die, you will be posthumously awarded the rank of lieutenant general, and if I die, I will be awarded a captain, why?!" ”
Fan Tianlei saw that the two were talking and laughing, and also said: "Chiang Kai-shek's purpose is obvious, that is, to divide these people from our wolf teeth through this means. Logically speaking, as long as Lao Gao did not report that you had died, the Military Council would not recognize you as a martyr, but Chairman Chiang would be able to make the people below think that Lao Gao wanted to seize power, which would cause internal discord among us, and Lao Chiang would be able to completely integrate our troops without much effort. ”
Dongfang Yunming smiled and nodded, what Fan Tianlei said should be similar to what Chiang Kai-shek thought, the independent regiment's record in Rehe showed extremely strong combat effectiveness, with a total of tens of thousands of casualties to all units of the Kwantung Army, especially the wolf's tooth special combat team, which fought behind enemy lines for a month, and the backyard of the Kwantung Army was on fire, and Japan's losses were incalculable. In the first battle of Rehe, the wolf's ambition of the Japanese army to annex China was undoubtedly revealed, and Chairman Chiang also did not have so high hopes for the League of Nations, so when Gao Wenfeng directly found Nanjing, he expanded the independent regiment into a new 6th division with a letter of appointment and awarded Dongfang Yunming the rank of major general, just to hold this army firmly in his hands, whether it is to suppress the Communist Party or resist Japan in the future, he will be able to have an extra strong force in his hands. Later, I learned that Dongfang Yunming and Ye Cunxin were missing in the air battle, and after they disappeared for more than ten days, they directly identified the two as martyrs, and decided to correct Gao Wenfeng, because Gao Wenfeng's standing and demeanor when he first met him revealed a strong iron-blooded military temperament, and his attitude of neither humility nor arrogance won Chiang Kai-shek's appreciation.
When Chiang Kai-shek was about to issue the letter of appointment, Dai Li of the Special Service Department of the Lixing Society asked worriedly: "Principal, why don't you find someone from among the students of the Whampoa Department who are most loyal to you to take over the position of division commander, this Gao Wenfeng has higher qualifications than the original Dongfang Yunming, and it is inevitable that excessive promotion will not be lost!" ”
Dai Li said this with his own selfishness, he wanted to control this new 6th division with strong combat effectiveness, especially the small army that went deep into the three eastern provinces, Lixing Society has been subject to the central party department, he has endured Chen Lifu, Chen Guofu and Xu Enzeng for a long time, and has been trying to overwhelm them in strength, but although Dai Li is a student of the sixth phase of Whampoa, he has not been able to graduate smoothly, and has not been reused, until a young man named Zhuang Yan found him a month ago, saying that he was entrusted with all the information of Dai Li's Zhongma City, This information made him stand out in front of Chiang Kai-shek, so Dai Li took the opportunity to say such a thing in front of Chiang Kai-shek, wanting Chiang Kai-shek to appoint him as the commander of this division.
With Chiang Kai-shek's mind, how could he not understand Dai Li's careful thoughts, he reprimanded: "What do you know? This new 6th Division was nominally a unit of the Central Army, but they were recruited by this Dongfang Yunming on the battlefield behind enemy lines, and even the Political Department could not be established. Besides, Dongfang Yunming is only missing now, and he is not completely sure that he will be killed, at this time, it is impossible to command the students of Huangpu at all, this Gao Wenfeng is their own person, and his age and qualifications are higher than Dongfang Yunming, so he will definitely not be happy in his heart, then I will correct him now, he must be very grateful to me, and this can provoke a contradiction between the two groups of people who are biased towards Dongfang Yunming and Gao Wenfeng, so that I can effectively control this army, understand? ”
Dai Li replied carefully: "Yes, the student understands!" But principal, what if this Dongfang Yunming comes back? ”
Chiang Kai-shek smiled and said, "If he comes back and disappears in the enemy-occupied area for so long, won't your secret service examine it first?" Simply scare him, kill his arrogance, and then give him a suitable position! Doesn't he know how to fly planes? Just let him go to the aviation board or the aviation school. ”
"Yes!" Dai Lili replied immediately, and then Chiang Kai-shek asked the chamberlain to issue the letter of appointment and commendation that Dongfang Yunming saw.
The division headquarters of the new 6th Division, the members of the wolf's teeth heard the news of Dongfang Yunming and Ye Cunxin's safe return and rushed over, Lu Liangbiao has been under his father and Zhang He since returning to Zhangjiakou, and did not go to Beiping with the new 6th Division, when the Kwantung Army attacked Heling, he took the Japanese soldiers and the puppet army to kill 256 people at Xu Yihang's wedding, and later swore in front of the three sisters and brothers of the Xu family after being rebelled, and atoned for the same number of Japanese troops with his own hands, and he killed a total of 129 Japanese soldiers in the battle of the three eastern provinces, Only half of his oath was fulfilled, and he had to continue to fight the Japanese to atone for his sins. The total establishment of the new 6th Division is 4 infantry regiments, 1 artillery regiment and 1 logistics brigade, a total of more than 12,000 people, Lei Zhan and Tan Xiaolin are respectively called the head and chief of staff of the 1st Regiment of the new 6th Division, Chen Yingtian and Shen Lanni are the commander and chief of staff of the 2nd Regiment respectively, Geng Jihui and Yan Gang are the commander and chief of staff of the 3rd Regiment, the 4th Infantry Regiment is supplemented by the Military Commission of the National Government, but it is not yet in place, Niu Qingfeng and Liu Yi are the head and chief of staff of the artillery regiment, and the artillery regiment is a regiment because of the particularity of the technical arms. In fact, there were only more than 800 people, equipped with 24 105mm howitzers and 36 75mm mountain guns captured from Chengde, and the logistics brigade was in charge of Tian Guo, Lei Jianming became the commander of the division headquarters guard battalion, Xu Jinchuan was the commander of the special service battalion directly under the division headquarters, Lin Guoliang and He Lu were the chief and deputy captains of the division headquarters field medical team, and the others were all division headquarters staff officers.
Ouyang Qian, who had the rank of captain, first asked in a mocking tone: "Sect Leader Dongfang, tell me honestly, what happened to the two of you in twenty days?" ”
Everyone coaxed together, Ye Cunxin waved his hand and said, "What's going on, don't gossip like this!" But Dongfang Yunming brazenly put his arm around Ye Cunxin's shoulder and said, "What do you think should happen, it basically happened!" Suddenly, everyone was in a hurry again.
Ye Cunxin turned his head and squinted at Dongfang Yunming: "I want something to happen, but you can't!" Speaking of this, Ye Cunxin deliberately paused, causing everyone to exclaim: "What? "Sect Master, why can't you?" "Have you practiced the Sunflower Treasure Book?"
At this time, Dongfang Yunming panicked, and hurriedly said: "Don't just say half of what you say, I can't do anything, I was seriously injured at the time, what do you let me do." ”
"Ah, seriously injured? Didn't it hurt the vital position, did it? Deng Zhenhua said and looked down at Dongfang Yunming.
Dongfang Yunming slapped Deng Zhenhua's hat with his backhand: "What do you want?" I was wounded in the back by the wreckage of the plane, do you dare to move such a long wound? I was in a coma for 7 days, and I was lying on the bed for more than 10 days before I could get off the ground, and now the wound is not completely healed. Besides, I was injured in a temple, a Buddha Pure Land! ”
"Then what else do you say that what should have happened happened?" Tan Xiaolin asked with a smile, Dongfang Yunming was speechless for a moment, Gao Wenfeng sighed and said, "Why were you cheated by these female soldiers again?" Don't say it's my apprentice in the future, I can't afford to lose this person for my teacher! ”
