Chapter 282: Declaration of Independence
On the hundreds of miles of front from Shanhaiguan to Mukden, hundreds of thousands of troops of the Kwantung Army were terrifying and launched a large-scale offensive against the Beidi Volunteers. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In particular, the battle in the Rehe battlefield was particularly fierce, and the Kwantung Army had exchanged fire with the garrison of the Northland Volunteer Army several times.
Although the Northland Volunteers are also resisting, the number of troops invested is not much, and the largest formation is only a battalion-level unit. Whether it is a fear of war or a lack of troops is a little unclear, giving people a feeling of lack of confidence.
The weak resistance of the Northland Volunteers undoubtedly fueled the arrogance of the Kwantung Army, and the soldiers pointed directly in the direction of the hinterland of the Northland Volunteers.
The tactics of the Kwantung Army had changed, and the eastern theater slowed down the pace of the offensive and focused on the western theater in Rehe.
Similarly, Feng Tian seemed to be aware of the intentions of the Kwantung Army, and also set his sights on the Rehe battlefield.
Moreover, Feng Tian ordered He Lizhong, the commander of the Rehe battlefield, to stop the army from taking the initiative.
Feng Tian's tactics are a bit out of common sense, in the face of the attack of hundreds of thousands of troops, he is reluctant to take out too many troops to block the attack, not only the Kwantung Army feels very weird, but even his subordinates don't understand.
The two sides of a war must always attack and defend, and their forces must be equal, especially in the early stage of the war, and it is necessary to deal a severe blow to the enemy and give the other side a dismount.
However, Feng Tian blindly retreated and never confronted the Kwantung Army.
No one knows what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd in Fengtian.
This tactic of the Northland Volunteers was completely out of the initial plan of the strategy formulated by the Japanese Army Staff Headquarters, which thought that the Northland Volunteers would be heavily deployed on the front line to block the Kwantung Army's northward advance.
And now it is the second day, and there are all kinds of signs that the Northland Volunteers will not resist the Kwantung Army.
Feng Tian's tactics did play a certain role, at least the head of the Japanese staff headquarters, Prince Xianyuan Gong Yahito, was suspicious, and he was very suspicious that Feng Tian was going to play tricks again, if Feng Tian really wanted to play tricks, he couldn't say that Prince Xianyuan Gong Yahito would have to adjust his combat strategy.
At the beginning, the Japanese side was suspicious of the Japanese side, and put on a posture of attacking on a frontline of hundreds of miles. Feng Tian saw the move, but he faced the Kwantung Army with weak troops in the eastern battlefield, and deployed heavy troops in the Rehe Theater.
Two days have passed since the start of the war, the big war has not broken out, the two sides have already fought tactically, and as for the final result, it is still difficult to tell the winner.
The war has been raged in the south, and the north is not idle.
In the early morning of 15 July, the people of the vast steppe in the north shouted and neighed, and nearly 20,000 young and strong herdsmen gathered here, and if you add some tribes from the surrounding area, there are 70,000 or 80,000 people.
Today is the day of the Alliance, and the grassland is full of flags and flags, and the herdsmen scattered on the grass have set up bonfires to prepare for the celebration of the success of the Alliance.
The time of the meeting was set for about 9 o'clock in the morning, and Yao Si, the leader of the alliance, made an extremely incendiary speech, and then declared the alliance successful.
According to the customs of the grassland, the herdsmen have to sing and dance, eat roasted whole sheep, and drink wine to celebrate.
At this time, the smoked whole sheep exudes an attractive aroma, the delicacy is ready, and the whole grassland is roasted whole sheep for several miles and the smoke is emitted, and the scene is quite grand.
The jubilant moment is coming, and a large field is vacated in front of the rostrum, waiting for important figures to appear on the stage and set off the climax of the alliance.
In the far inland, the Chinese and foreign media began to publish an article in the early morning of the morning, titled: "Declaration of Independence of the Prairie", which also set off a wave.
The manifesto was issued in the voice of Yao Si, a leading figure, and was signed by major figures such as King De, who swore an oath of independence on behalf of the grassland people.
Of course, the articles were prepared in advance, probably roughly the same as the speech in Yao Si's hand.
In other words, when the article was published, Yao Si had not yet taken the stage to speak.
This phenomenon is not surprising, it is also part of the entire operational plan of the Kwantung Army.
The whole operation is also the hand of the holiday himself, and the full agent is released in the Chinese and foreign media.
In the words of the Kwantung Army Command, this war will not only involve armed attacks, but also require a civil attack, and the civil and military forces will be ready to create a sensational effect, and in conjunction with the overall strategy, the Northern Volunteers must be exhausted to deal with it.
Yes, it did make a splash.
Regardless of the international impact this has, the entire Republic of China, whether government officials or ordinary people, was all shaken by this news.
Importantly, this happened at a time when the Kwantung Army was aggressively attacking the Northland Volunteer Defense Zone.
The war that took place yesterday was reported in the major newspapers.
There are three battlefields in the south of Rehe, the Kwantung Army has already invaded the Rehe Mountains, and in the northern area of Mukden in the east, the Kwantung Army is even more aggressive, and has approached Xinmin.
Now, there is a rebellion in the grassland, and it is just behind the Northland Volunteers, so I have to say that the cooperation is quite tacit.
At present, the situation of the Northland Volunteer Army is extremely bad, and in addition to dealing with the attack of the Kwantung Army, they also have to deal with the threat of rebels in the north.
I have to say that this hand planned by the Kwantung Army is indeed vicious.
Some people with newspapers in their hands were reading the contents of the newspaper to the people around them, and most of the people around them were full of anger that China's only force in the war was currently encountering an unprecedented crisis.
The Northland is in crisis, who can save them?
When I think of this problem, everyone is concerned.
The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression that took place in the north was not a day or two, and everyone could see it clearly, and some people couldn't help beating their chests and feet, and the anger in their hearts was hard to let go.
Everyone knows that it is not even a matter of expecting the Nationalist Government to send troops to support the Northland Volunteers.
Even if it is their own defense area, they do not resist, they retreat again and again, withdraw from the Northeast, withdraw from Jinzhou, even Shanhaiguan gave up, and let the Kwantung Army fight to the north of the river in a few years, not to mention let them support the Beidi Volunteer Army, don't dream.
The people were angry, but they were helpless, and all that was left was endless sighs.
Yan Xishan, the king of Shanxi, was shocked when he heard the news, and hurriedly grabbed the phone to contact Feng Tian, the commander-in-chief of the Betty Defense Zone.
"Hey, I'm Yan Xishan, Shanxi, please answer the phone from Commander Feng."
The one who answered the phone was Zhao Zhenfan, chief of the general staff of the Northland Volunteer Army: "Hello Chief Yan, I am Zhao Zhenfan, Commander Feng is not here, if there is anything urgent, I will convey it when Commander Feng comes back." ”
"No, no, I must talk to Feng Tian on the phone, if not, my old man will immediately take the car to find him."
Yan Xishan was really anxious, he was originally a little worried about whether the northern land could withstand the attack of the Kwantung Army, this time it was not as good as before, the Kwantung Army dispatched hundreds of thousands of troops, and set up a position to take the northern land, can Yan Xishan not be nervous?
Once the sealing of the sky fails, the north gate of Shanxi is open, and after the Kwantung Army occupies the entire north of the river, Yan Xishan's will be attacked in the east and north, and the west of the mountain is in danger!
It's good now, there is such a situation behind Feng Tian again, no matter what, Yan Xishan doesn't believe that Feng Tian can withstand it.
Seeing that Yan Xishan was so urgent, Zhao Zhenfan secretly smiled bitterly, so he had to say, "Chief Yan, please wait a moment, I'll answer the phone." ”
Yan Xishan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, that's good, I'll wait." ”
After a while, Zhao Zhenfan connected Feng Tian's phone, explained the reason, and asked Feng Tian to talk to Yan Xishan.
Feng Tian knew what Yan Xishan was worried about, and his mood was understandable, after all, the crisis in the Northland was already in the clear.
"Brother Yan, why are you in such a hurry to find me?"
Nima, that's what you knowingly ask.
"I said, brother, the situation is like this, you are not at home, you actually ran outside, I am in a hurry here. Today, all major newspapers have published that King De is making independence behind your back, and now your brother is suffering from the enemy, how can this be good? Yan Xishan even omitted ordinary polite words, and went straight to the point, pointing to the point.
"Hehe, brother, you're here for this." Feng Tian chuckled a few times and said, "King De has long had bad intentions, but he is just a clown who jumps off the beam, what are you afraid of him doing?" Don't worry, brother, you can't fight him. ”
Seeing that Feng Tian was so rash, Yan Xishan became more and more anxious in his heart, and said: "It's not about the number of troops of King De, but about the time he chose. ”
What Yan Xishan said is also reasonable, King De's independence has indeed formed a north-south attack with the Kwantung Army, which is not conducive to Fengtian at the point of time.
Feng Tian knew that Yan Xishan was worried, and comforted: "Brother, don't worry too much, even if King De raises troops, how many men can he have?" It's just a rabble. Wait and see, when I free my hands, I will definitely pinch him to death, don't worry. ”
Yan Xishan thought to himself, you said it so lightly, I am even more uneasy.
No, this kid has to be taken seriously.
"Brother, it's not me talking about you, you must not be so rash. I know you can fight, but you can't be proud, and underestimating the enemy is a taboo. King Toku's power is limited, but don't forget that you are fighting against the Kwantung Army, and if you are not careful, the consequences will be unpredictable. In this way, I will transfer you two divisions of troops under your command, at least it can help you solve the threat in the north, what do you think? ”
Yan Xishan also made a lot of money, and it was indeed abnormal to send out two divisions of troops at once.
"Hehe, thank you brother in advance for your concern. In this way, the soldiers of the mountain do not need to move for the time being, and if I feel too much pressure, I will naturally open my mouth to the old brother. For now, the pressure isn't very high. Northland is safe for the time being, brother, but don't worry. ”
People opened their mouths to send military support to him, this guy doesn't want it, what do you say is this?
Yan Xishan can't send out some soldiers, but it's a bit unexpected, and my old man is hot after a long time.
Yan Laoxi was a little helpless, and said: "Okay, if you feel tight, you must greet my brother, don't wait to ignore it, remember!" (To be continued.) )
