Chapter 618: The End of the Kwantung Army (16)

The great change in North Manchuria finally aroused the great concern of the Japanese high-level, after General Yamada Oto-san issued the order to go south, the base camp sent a secret telegram to inquire about the battle situation, different from the last time, this time the base camp obviously paid more attention than the last time, and asked General Yamada Oto-three to write all the relevant battles since the start of the war on October 18 and report to the base camp, and at the same time the base camp decided to increase troops to the Manchurian region, the main purpose of this increase is not to recover the Central and Northern Manchurians that have been occupied by the Chinese people, but to keep South Manchuria and Korea, Especially North Korea.

Moreover, the reinforcements transferred to Manchuria this time were not those newly formed Baiding Divisions, but some elites were drawn from the Japanese local defense forces to rush to Manchuria, with a strength of about 100,000 people in 6 divisions, and at the same time, under the strict orders of the base camp, the reinforcements of the four divisions that were already on the road also rushed to Shenyang to accept the dispatch of General Yamada Oto.

In order to make up for the air power in South Manchuria, the base camp specially transferred a flying division from the Japanese air force defending the homeland, together with 400 newly equipped Zero fighter reinforcements, all of which were transferred to Manchuria, but the tank troops urgently needed by General Yamada Otozo still did not exist.

Like Hideki Tojo, the top leaders in Japan saw the crisis in Manchuria and knew that if they did not spend money to protect the Kwantung Army, not only would Manchuria, which the Japanese Empire had painstakingly managed for more than ten years, not only would it be impossible to protect Manchuria, but even the allied forces of China and the Soviet Union would very likely take advantage of the situation to take Korea. Korea is as important to Japan as the puppet Manchurians are to Japan, and even more so. Unlike the puppet Manchurian regions, the whole of Korea has now been completely tamed and has become a complete colony of Japan. However, the puppet Manchurian region is different, there have always been resistance forces like the Anti-Japanese Federation, and now there are even kingly troops like the Inner Mongolia Military Region.

An untrained tiger is never as cute as an obedient deer, and in the eyes of the Japanese, Korea is clearly a completely tamed deer, while Manchuria is a wild tiger, although this tiger has lost its teeth and is in old age.

Han Yunhua had already prepared for reinforcements in the northeast region in Japan, but he did not expect that Emperor Hirohito and the entire Japanese high-level would be so calm and defeated, and the Japanese Kwantung Army had basically been disabled, and even if hundreds of thousands of reinforcements came, they might not be able to restore their combat effectiveness. It is important to know that a strong combat force not only needs high-quality soldiers and high-tech combat equipment, but more importantly, it needs to have a high-intensity will to fight.

After the Kwantung Army, once Japan's trump card, after experiencing such a setback, both soldiers and officers, from the bottom of their hearts, already had a fear of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, and this fear was the inner demon and the obstacle, and it was the most terrible curse that prevented the Kwantung Army from regaining confidence. As long as the Inner Mongolia Military Region is not destroyed, it will be impossible for the Kwantung Army to restore its former glory.

On the 28th, the Japanese Sixth Flying Division arrived in Korea, and in the afternoon 400 Japanese Zero fighters attacked the airfield of the Changchun Joint Air Force Headquarters, causing heavy losses of 66 bombers and 32 fighters, and at the same time, the front-line command headquarters in Changchun was also attacked by Japanese fighters.

After the tragedy, Han Yunhua was furious and ordered the Air Force Joint Command to immediately formulate an operational plan against the Japanese Air Force, and at the same time ordered the Air Force Joint Command to start a plan to bomb the Japanese mainland. In addition, Han Yunhua also ordered the army of Central and Northern Manchuria to immediately march southward, except for leaving some troops to continue to attack Harbin, all the security work in the Central and Northern Manchurian areas was handed over to those newly formed troops, and the old troops must be assembled within three days, and then go south to accept the command of the command headquarters. …,

At the beginning of the battle, there was no doubt about the result, whether the Japanese army wanted to believe it or not, but the possibility of the Chinese army recovering the entire Northeast was 100% certain, and this result was difficult for the Japanese to accept, and even a little cruel. However, with regard to the aggressors, the position of the Inner Mongolia Military Region and the people of Northeast China is the same, and they must drive all the Japanese puppet troops out of Northeast China and rescue the 30 million compatriots in Northeast China from the dire situation.

However, during this time, there was one person who was suffering, and this person was none other than Yu Zhishan, the puppet Minister of Public Security of Manchukuo and the general of the General's Office. Yu Zhishan's original name was Yu Shiwen, the word Lanbo, the name Zhishan, a native of Huangshatuozi Village, Tai'an County, Liaoning Province. Born in a landlord family, he was a bandit in Du Lisan in his early years. In April 1914, he entered the Fengtian Lecture and Martial Arts Hall to study, and after graduation, he served as the chief of the water police. In 1917, he was appointed Chief of the Maritime Police. In 1920, he was appointed commander of the infantry colonel, and soon expanded into a brigade, and served as a major general. Later, he was promoted to division commander and chief military attache of Zhang Zuolin's attendant, and in October 1927, he was appointed commander of the 30th Army of the Northeast Army. In 1928, he was transferred to the town guard of Dongbian Province. 1931 "IX. After the 18th "incident, he publicly descended to Japan and served as the commander-in-chief of the puppet "Dongbian Province Autonomous Security Command". In December of the same year, he was appointed as the commander of the garrison of the puppet Fengtian Province, and later reappointed as the commander of the garrison of the puppet 1st Military District. After the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, Yu Zhishan was appointed as the Minister of Military Affairs of the puppet Manchukuo in 1937. In 1940, he was transferred to the Ministry of Public Security of the puppet Manchukuo, and not long ago he was appointed as the general of the puppet Manchukuo General's Office.

In the military system of the puppet Manchukuo, Yu Zhishan can be said to occupy an extremely important position, and no one dares to deny this. The military armament of the puppet Manchukuo was established with the support of the Japanese, so the military establishment of the puppet Manchukuo has certain similarities with Japan, in addition to the three-level establishment of generals and captains, the puppet Manchukuo also imitated Japan, set up the general's palace above the generals, and at the same time appointed the four generals with the highest military rank in the puppet Manchukuo at that time, namely Zhang Jinghui and Zhang Haipeng, as well as Yu Zhishan and Jixing.

Jixing is a Manchurian royal family, and he is naturally loyal to the puppet Manchurian government, and the other two are very old, and they have no motivation to work hard, and they only hope that they will be happy and safe to complete the last part of their lives, and they will not care so much about the infamy behind them. Half of their bodies have been buried in the ground, and it doesn't matter if they are scolded or not, as long as they don't commit evil again, they are already very satisfied.

Under the hint of this psychology, when the Inner Mongolia Military Region counterattacked the northeast, except for Yu Zhishan and Jixing, the four major generals of the puppet Manchukuo either refused the Japanese order for one reason or another, and Zhang Jinghui even resigned on his own initiative.

Yu Zhishan actually wants to be a hardcore traitor, but this year the traitor is not easy to do, during the counterattack of the Inner Mongolia Military Region in the Northeast, Yu Zhishan himself was assassinated by a total of 22 heroic spies from all walks of life, fortunately, this person's life is comparable to the nine-life cat demon, otherwise it would have become a pile of loess.

However, with the rapid progress of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, Yu Zhishan's mood became lower and lower, and now he has completely lost confidence in the Japanese.

Yu Zhishan served as the commander-in-chief of the puppet Manchukuo National Defense Force at this time, and the 200,000 troops of the puppet Manchukuo National Defense Force, except for the two guard divisions that guarded the palace, the rest were all under the command of Zhishan and Li Shouxin. Since the troops followed the Japanese army to the south and retreated to the Liaoshen area, Yu Zhishan had other thoughts.

Yu Zhishan secretly ordered the troops to preserve their strength and not to sell their lives for the Japanese as before. In fact, it is not used for Zhishan's advice, and the failure of the front line will no longer dare to fight to the death with the Inner Mongolia Military Region, a lesson from the past, if the millions of elites of the Japanese army had not fought to the death with the Inner Mongolia Military Region regardless of life and death, they might have been defeated so quickly and so miserably.

Yu Zhishan's various behaviors have also attracted Han Yunhua's attention, and Han Yunhua still attaches great importance to Yu Zhishan, although this traitor is also hateful, but this person is clever enough to see the decline of the Japanese at this time. Although Yu Zhishan's crime was more than enough to shoot him a thousand times, now Han Yunhua still hopes to make this important minister of the puppet Manchukuo anyway, that is, the heaviest blow to the Japanese puppet army. …,

However, Han Yunhua also knows that an old fox like Yu Zhishan can't convince them with a few words, these people have always valued real interests, the Japanese are here, and they can surrender like the Japanese for their own interests. Now that the Chinese have returned from the counteroffensive, they can certainly surrender the Inner Mongolia Military Region, but this will require the Inner Mongolia Military Region to pay a certain price.

After attending the military meeting convened by General Yamada Otosan, Yu Zhishan returned to his headquarters in a sullen manner, and today General Yamada Otozo informed all the senior officers of the Japanese army about the decision of the Japanese base camp to reinforce the Kwantung Army. After listening to the words of General Yamada Otosan, Yu Zhishan was not as happy as Li Shouxin and others, but was a little depressed.

Yu Zhishan also didn't know why he was so depressed, it stands to reason that for the puppet Manchukuo and the Japanese Kwantung Army, which were already in danger by the Inner Mongolia Military Region and the Soviets, reinforcements were indeed a happy thing. But Yu Zhishan didn't want the Japanese reinforcements to arrive deep down, and Yu Zhishan didn't know what he thought, he knew very well that with the things he had done in the past, once Japan was defeated, their fate would be absolutely extremely miserable.

After returning to the headquarters, Yu Zhishan habitually called his staff Yang Ming and asked him for advice. Yang Ming had joined the revolutionary party in the early years and was a veteran of the Kuomintang. But after Sun Yat-sen's death, Yang Ming withdrew from the Kuomintang, and now Yang Ming, who is nearly 60 years old, is no longer in his prime, and what remains is just an old man in his last years. However, such an old man who is about to die has a crucial influence on a big traitor like Zhishan with heavy troops, and even his opinion can change Yu Zhishan's decision.

"General, the old man understands your current mood, maybe the authorities are confused, the general himself doesn't know what he needs now, but the old man knows it!" Yang Ming replied after listening to Yu Zhishan's words.

"Mr. Yang, you have been following General Ben for almost 10 years, and I have to be Mr. in the second year of the 918 Incident to nag Fengtian, and later took refuge under my account as a staff master. Ten years of being in a certain very clear gentleman's person, what to say Mr. said. "Yu Zhishan Road.

"In fact, the general cares about his own name, the word traitor is not something anyone can bear, Zhang Jinghui can achieve such a high position as the prime minister, he will resign, doesn't he know the fate of offending the Japanese. Obviously not, but the old fox doesn't want to be a traitor's tombstone on his grave after his death, and the epitaph is also called a traitor. The general's current psychology is actually the same as Zhang Jinghui's, and the general does not want to bear the name of a traitor forever. Before, the Japanese were really strong, and the general was overwhelmed, and even if he had the heart to resist, he was powerless. But now that the Japanese are in the twilight, the general's sense of resistance is getting stronger and stronger, so in essence, the general doesn't want to be a traitor, and the general doesn't want to let go of this good opportunity, so the general is so unhappy, I don't know if I'm right or not? Yang Ming slowly analyzed.

Yu Zhishan is not stupid, otherwise he would not have climbed to the high position of the four major generals of the puppet Manchukuo. The more Yu Zhishan thought about it, the more he felt that what Yang Ming said was reasonable, so he hurriedly asked: "What Mr. Yang said is reasonable, how can a good Chinese be willing to be a big traitor who everyone scolds if he is not suitable for someone, but the times are pressing, and someone is also forced to do so." But one wrong move is all lost, and then looking back on a hundred years, even if I change my mind now, I'm afraid it's too late, hey! ”…,

Yu Zhishan sighed, but Yang Ming was very happy in his heart, although he didn't say it all these years, he still had a lot of opinions about what Yu Zhishan did, if it weren't for the fact that he was indeed old and not suitable for running around, plus although Yu Zhishan was not a thing, he was good to him, and he had a life-saving grace, so Yang Ming would do his best to assist Yu Zhishan. Seeing that Yu Zhishan seemed to be a little moved now, Yang Ming said tentatively: "General, in fact, as long as the general changes his mind, it is not too late, I think the Chinese army is happy to see the general in battle." ”

"No, if it were someone else, I would have some other thoughts, but Mr. knows that it is Han Yunhua who is leading the team this time. Mr. Han Yunhua doesn't know if he's heard of it, this person kills people like hemp, and he hates the Japanese and the puppet army extremely, in the battle of Baicheng some time ago, this person slaughtered nearly 100,000 Japanese puppet soldiers in Baicheng overnight, and he is a complete murderous demon king. Yu Zhishan said worriedly.

Yu Zhishan's worries Yang Ming also knew that anyone would have a headache with such an opponent, and Yang Ming also had a certain understanding of what Han Yunhua had done, and knew some of the deeds of this CCP general. However, in order to persuade Yu Zhishan to surrender, Yang Ming still decided to say something well: "General, don't worry, in fact, things are far from being as bad as you think." I heard that Han Yunhua is a fierce general on the CCP side, and he is the most powerful and most relied on general under Mao Zedong. I also heard that this person is Zhou Gong's guard, and he was brought up by Zhou Gong. And Zhou Gong has no children in his life, so it can be said that this General Han is Zhou Gong's godson. I had a relationship with Zhou Gong back then, although I haven't been in touch for more than ten years, but as long as I repair a book, Zhou Gong will definitely get in touch with Han Yunhua. At that time, as long as we are sincere anyway, I don't think Han Yunhua will do anything to us, but it is up to the general to decide whether he is sorry or not. ”

"Mr. Yang, you have a relationship with Zhou Gong of the Communist Party of China, God help me. If you revise a letter now, I will say that I am sincere to someone, as long as the CCP is willing to accept it, I am willing to lead 160,000 soldiers under my command to surrender to the CCP, and I will also launch an attack on the Japanese Kwantung Army as the vanguard of resistance against Japan. After the war, I will automatically hand over my military power, but the CCP must ensure the safety of my life and not pursue the past. In fact, Yu Zhishan's requirements are not high, Yu Zhishan is really tired of this kind of life, and the dream of being promoted to become rich has been done for decades, and he is tired. As Yang Ming said, Yu Zhishan didn't want to be scolded as a traitor, lackey, and traitor after his death.

"Okay general, I can write a letter, but the general must get in touch with Zhou Gong and Han Yunhua on the front line as soon as possible, otherwise, with the current advance speed of Han Yunhua's subordinates, they will soon launch a large-scale attack on South Manchuria, and then you and your troops will have to exchange fire with Han Yunhua's subordinates, and it will be difficult to handle it at that time." Yang Ming reminded in a low voice.

"Well, what Sir said makes sense, and the division and brigade commanders under my command also need to ventilate a little, but they can't be too obvious, so that they don't have Japanese eyeliner in them."

Let's not talk about Yu Zhishan's active planning anyway, let's just say that Han Yunhua is also a little entangled now. The Soviets launched a larger-scale counterattack on the Eastern Front, and also achieved considerable success, and if this situation continued, the Soviet Union would be able to recover all of Eastern Europe in the near future. It is precisely because of this that Stalin actually sent a formal note to the Chinese Communists, hoping that the Chinese Communists would send Han Yunhua to the Soviet Union to serve as the deputy chief of the General Staff of the Soviet Red Army, and the Soviet Union would send more Red Army troops to fight in the south.

The bait thrown by the Soviet Union is indeed very tempting, and anyone can see that if the Soviet Union uses this in exchange, then the northeastern territories occupied by the Soviet Union will definitely be handed over to the CCP in the end
