Chapter 1456 is warmly welcomed
East Zhejiang, Linpu County southwest of eight kilometers of Heshang Town, the town is located in the Yongxing River and many tributaries of the confluence, Zhuxiao Highway (Zhuji to Xiaoshan) runs through the town, winding to the north, the surrounding area of the mountains is dangerous, the forest is luxuriant, the enemy army drives to enslave the local people, the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Highway is cut off, and at the foot of the west mountain in the south of the town, a very strong fortification has been constructed, coupled with the artillery positions and air defense positions on the left and right wings of the mountain, it can be said that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and occupies the best geographical position.

However, the An Jiajun completely ignored the opponent's defense, and in order to open up the passage to the north, the 68th Division and the 137th Division of the New Eighth Army, under the leadership of army commander Li Jinlong, launched a fierce attack on the enemy.
A total of 72 120 heavy howitzers from the artillery regiments directly under the two divisions poured out furious shells, which blew up the flesh and blood of the devils, and they were terrified.
As soon as the enemy did not know how to move to the mountain, the 24 75mm mountain guns and field artillery guns were bombarded by four bomber groups, including the 1st Air Regiment and the 2nd Air Regiment, in turn, and the enemy's artillery positions and air defense positions were shrouded in gunsmoke.
Subsequently, the artillery of the Anjia Army ravaged the enemy's positions again and again, and four consecutive trenches as deep as 1.5 meters were almost razed to the ground in the end.
Before the infantry of the An Jia Army could attack, the enemy lost most of it. You must know that the An Jia Army not only has heavy artillery, but also has a large number of recoilless guns and mortars, and the strike accuracy is far higher than that of the enemy.
Now it is no longer the embarrassing situation when An Yi led the independent regiment to attack Yangchun Bridge 11 years ago, the strong An Jia army has enough firepower to hit the opponent and create a safe attack line for the infantry, and at the same time, the southwest air force unit with air supremacy can be dispatched at any time to strike a merciless blow to the stubborn resistance of the enemy.
Five days ago, after obtaining the grand audio-visual materials of the Anjia Army's entry into the city on the 25th, the enemy's base camp immediately issued an order: In view of the failure of the Songhu battle plan on the whole front, the eastern Zhejiang region will face the attack of the Anjia Army, which has a large number of artillery, armor, and tanks, and in order to avoid unnecessary losses, the eastern Zhejiang Front will withdraw from the eastern Zhejiang front line from now on, and all the troops participating in the battle will return to Korea by boat to participate in the offensive and suppression of the guerrillas in northern Korea, consolidate the rear, and create a solid rear for the next operation.
The enemy army has always had a tradition of committing crimes, and if it does not conform to the wishes of the grassroots troops, they will have to deal with it.
This time, the 16th Division, which was greedy for the place where the humanities gathered in eastern Zhejiang, took the initiative to jump out, and its division commander, Lieutenant General Nakajima Imasago Imasago, made a statement to the base camp, saying that the area currently controlled by the enemy army is a land of fish and rice, a land of abundance, and a land with dangerous mountains and rivers, and that with only a small number of troops to defend it, it can obtain a piece of fertile land that is almost the same size as Japan's Shikoku Island, which can be used to recuperate, and greatly alleviate the food pressure faced by Japan.
Moreover, choosing to give up without resistance was a sign of cowardice and incompetence, and it was a serious irresponsibility to the Japanese people, so I asked to lead my troops to stay behind and defend the dignity of the Imperial Japanese Army.
The base camp issued a telegram to sternly plead, however, Nakajima Imago also had sympathizers, and Hideki Tojo, Akira Muto and others interceded for him, saying that his performance only proved the loyalty and courage of the imperial warriors, and perhaps the tenacity of the 16th Division could be defended by the tenacity of the 16th Division to see if the An Jia Army was a paper tiger, otherwise it would retreat without a fight, which might affect the morale of the army.
Subsequently, the teacher and regimental commander of the 16th Division, Nakajima's old boss, and the current governor of Korea, General Nam Jiro, also said good things for him, and the base camp ignored it when it saw that so many people supported it.
Nakajima's ambition suddenly rose, and he also wooed the two commanders of the 15th and 17th mixed brigades, asking them to stay and fight side by side with him, so after the large troops boarded the ship and left on the night of the 27th and 28th, the devils of the 16th Division and the two mixed brigades took on the heavy task of fighting the An Jia army.
Nakajima was very vicious, recruited 200,000 puppet troops in eastern Zhejiang, and appointed one traitor leader after another who took refuge as officials at all levels, distributed all the weapons captured in the previous battles in eastern Zhejiang, and then changed into the clothes of the Chinese regular army that needed to be brought to eastern Zhejiang due to a disguised sneak attack.
At the same time, Nakajima Imago urgently recruited 300,000 people to build fortifications at passes such as Tiantai Mountain, Huiji Mountain, and Siming Mountain, and used natural dangers to confront the Anjia army.
It is a pity that no matter how hard you try, the gap in strength between China and Japan cannot be bridged by relying on spirit.
Using the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway, a steady stream of strategic materials produced in Qianxi, Xiangxi, and even Syria could be easily transported to the hands of the front-line troops, and the 28th Army, the 49th Army, and the New Eighth Army gathered in eastern Zhejiang had absolutely no problem in the supply of food and ammunition.
At the same time as the victory of the New Eighth Army in Heshang Town, Shi Zhen's two divisions of the 28th Army also took the fortifications carefully constructed by the enemy on the front line of Shipan Mountain, and forced the enemy to Linpu County from the eastern front.
......
on the highway.
A total of 100 tanks, 200 armored vehicles, and 400 personnel carriers of the mechanized division directly under the First Army Corps of the Northeast Group Army marched mightily toward the city of Kulen in the south.
Lieutenant General Hu Jiyang, commander of the First Army Corps, sat in a command vehicle converted from a truck and had a whispered conversation with Deputy Commander He Yifei, Chief of Staff Tang Wen, and Chief of Operations Hu Ayao.
In the past few days, all units of the Northeast Group Army have made smooth progress.
On the 27th, the 10th, 11th, and 12th Brigades of the 4th Division of the 1st Army Corps successfully entered the city of Krulun (now Choibalsan, Mongolia) and took over the defense of Krulun from the officers and men of a regiment of the Red Army in the Far East.
That night, the 36th Regiment of the 12th Brigade, marching all the way, rushed to the south of Krulen, to take over the defense of the Red Army, which had a battalion stationed there, and to closely monitor the movements of the enemy forces in Chahar.
After a night's rest, the 4th Division left behind the headquarters of the 12th Brigade and its two subordinate regiments, the division headquarters and the 10th and 11th Brigades, together with the Far Eastern Red Regiment that had withdrawn westward, along the Kuhutai Station Road, and marched towards Kulen.
On 29 July, the 10th and 11th Brigades of the 4th Division were stationed in Bailutai City, and after leaving one regiment to garrison them yesterday, the rest of the troops set off again and marched towards the city of Khan in Chechnya, which is expected to arrive the day after tomorrow.
The rest of the troops stationed in Mongolia were all concentrated on the Sino-Soviet border, and because the city of Aihui was opposite Hailanpao, and there was a railway connected to the main artery of the Siberian Railway, the headquarters of the First Army Corps, the troops directly under it, and the Fourth Army became the first batch of troops to rush to Mongolia.
This time, the First Army Corps left behind three divisions of the Fifth Army and six newly formed local guerrilla columns to defend the base areas of the Greater and Lesser Khing'an Mountains, maintain the unimpeded connection between Mongolia and the northeastern base areas, and engage in-for-tat operations with the enemy.
The headquarters of the group army, together with the units directly under it, as well as the newly formed Ninth Army and the Tenth Army, became the second batch of troops to enter Mongolia. The First Army remained in the area where the Xiaoxing'an Mountains and the Sanjiang Plain converged, and together with the Third Army stationed in the area on the east bank of the Mudanjiang River and the south bank of the Songhua River, to ensure the security of the Sanjiang base area.
According to the needs of the war, the First Army and the Third Army were organized into the Third Army Corps of the Northeast Group Army, with Lieutenant General Han Xianzhi, commander of the First Army, as the commander of the corps, to lead the military and civilians in the base areas to fight against Japan.
After receiving the defense with the various units of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, the two corps of the Second Army Corps, which were the first to withdraw from the Changbai base area, walked to Vladivostok, and on the 29th, they took the train to the north and became the third batch of troops to enter Mongolia. At this time, Dong Jinming's Sixth Army and Jin Hongmo's Seventh Army had just withdrawn from the base area and were moving towards the border line.
The Government of the Far Eastern Republic has vigorously cooperated with the Northeast Group Army's large-scale relocation operation, not only dispatching a huge convoy of transport along the border, but also making considerable efforts in railway dispatch to ensure that the army can rush to Mongolia unhindered, and the two units will have to fight side by side in the future.
On the morning of the 26th, the Kremlin's decision reached the ears of the party, government, and military leaders of the Far Eastern Republics, and the generals and officials who had been in charge of the purge and the end of a series of erroneous lines rejoiced at the end of the rebellion and a series of erroneous lines, believing that the revolution had won and began to consider how to end it with dignity.
Although the top brass of the Far Eastern Republic had anticipated all the despicable methods displayed by Stalin, they did not expect Stalin to do such a desperate thing.
In response to the Kremlin's continuous combination of punches, the Far Eastern republics have bitter words.
Since the night of the 25th, the Soviet side has begun to completely interfere with the normal broadcasting of radio stations in the Far East, and now even Central Asia and the Urals are unable to listen to radio programs in the Far East. At the same time, the Soviet army sent a large number of fighter planes to block the airspace, and more than 10 bombers loaded with leaflets in the Far Eastern Republic were shot down as soon as they flew over the Ural Mountains; at the same time, the Soviet Ministry of Internal Affairs intensified the investigation of suspicious persons, and 14 underground organizations sent by the Far East to Moscow to engage in propaganda work were cracked, and the public opinion offensive in the Far Eastern Republic came to an abrupt end.
Under these circumstances, the top brass of the Far Eastern Republics, who knew that they were no match for Stalin's opponents, unified their understanding, realized that the current battle with the Soviet Central Committee had become an endless situation between the two sides, and quickly informed the entire population of the Far Eastern Republics through radio and newspapers about the despicable means of Moscow and the decision of the Soviets to send all the people of the Far East to the gallows, so that the 35 million people who had seen Stalin's iron-blooded methods gave up all illusions, It has embarked on the path of armed self-defense.
On the morning of 30 July, the Far Eastern Republic solemnly announced to the whole world that the independent government of the Far Eastern Republic was officially declared with immediate effect, and that the territory included all areas east of the Ural Mountains, and that all countries in the world were welcome to establish formal diplomatic relations and carry out economic and trade cooperation with the Far Eastern Government.
Subsequently, the government of the Far Eastern Republic announced that it would declare war on the USSR from now on, fighting to defend the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the country!
......
"Lao Hu, tell me, where will the situation develop in the future?" He Yifei asked.
Hu Jiyang sighed very much: "The political struggle is really cruel, and Moscow has reached the point where it can do everything, if it is said that the Far East side was still three or four percent sure that it could win the final victory, but since the Kremlin decisively adopted a series of countermeasures, even one percent is no longer sure."
There was silence in the carriage, and everyone shuddered.
With the current strength of the Northeast Army, is it possible to withstand Stalin's ferocious counterattack? At that time, the newly recovered Mongolian homeland will be plunged into the flames of war, and all longing and good wishes will cease to exist.
At this moment, the convoy came to an abrupt halt.
Lieutenant Colonel Zhuang Yifan, the captain of the special group directly under the legion, flew into the carriage and jumped into the carriage: "Report, according to the call from the first squadron that went out to reconnoiter in an armored car, there were a lot of people in front of the Kulun City Gate, and I don't know what happened. ”
He Yifei was very surprised: "It won't be to oppose our entry, right?" Mongolia has been away from the motherland for so many years, and the government led by Choibalshan and others has been pursuing a policy of de-sinicization, and now I don't know what a bad situation Kulen will be, this is troublesome! ”
Tang Wen hesitated: "Probably not, after all, now that Kulen is still in the hands of the Red Army in the Far East, they will not allow large-scale riots." ”
Hu Ayao's face flushed: "They don't dare to oppose the entry of the Red Army, and when they hear that we are coming, they run to block the door, which is really hateful!" If you don't teach them a lesson, they don't know that the pot is made of iron......"
"Don't be impatient!"
Hu Jiyang raised his hand, condensed his eyebrows and thought about it for a while, and suddenly said with a smile: "I didn't say it, they must have come to welcome us." ”
Seeing that everyone was looking at each other and puzzled, Hu Jiyang patiently explained: "If you really want to resist in tandem, you have to do it after the Red Army in the Far East leaves, and they didn't know the details of us, so they rashly gathered people to make trouble, which is very unreasonable, so there can only be one explanation for this - they are here to greet us!" ”
Speaking of this, Hu Jiyang ordered: "Order all departments, cheer up, and continue to move forward." ”
Armored vehicles and tanks with red flags in the front of the car appeared at the end of the road, kicking up dust and cheering enthusiastically.
