Chapter 473: Battle Shandong
Saibei. Xilinhot.
Shen Yiquan has been in charge of Xilinhot for half a year, and after more than half a year of understanding, he has a very clear understanding of the situation of the enemy in the entire Suidong.
The situation in the Suidong region is more complicated, although the Japanese are still strong here, but they do not dare to overly coerce the people of the ancient people, a large part of the political power here is still in the hands of those ancient princes, and although the cavalry divisions stationed here in the Inner Éng Ancient Military Region are quite numerous, the territory controlled by them is not too large, and the scope controlled by Han Yunhua's department in the entire Suidong region is less than one-third.
Shen yùquan knew Han Yunhua's intention of sending him to govern Suidong, there were **rules, and **'s ethnic policy was very tolerant and lenient, so in order to avoid friction with local ethnic minorities, the Party Central Committee has been strictly ordering Han Yunhua's department to expand its territory to the east, because Han Yunhua's eastward expansion will inevitably shake the interests of those ancient princes, and it is inevitable that the two sides will clash, and the eastward expansion will inevitably be directly related to the Japanese Kwantung Army. And the strength of the Kwantung Army is obvious to all, and the entire 800,000 army is not something that the current ** can provoke. However, Shen Yiquan knew that the commander had always wanted to "touch" the fertile soil of Suidong, and although the conflict with the Kwantung Army would have to pay a certain price, he could be in the same way as the anti-Japanese forces in the northeast region and include the entire northeast region in his attack range.
Although Shen Yùquan didn't know what to do with the Kwantung Army, he knew that Han Yunhua had never done anything he was not sure of, just like some time ago he was almost fighting against hundreds of thousands of troops of the North China Front Army with the strength of a military region, and many people were sweating for the Eighth Route Army, and they all thought that the little money that he had accumulated with great difficulty was probably going to be played out by Han Yunhua. But the result was beyond everyone's expectations, from the very beginning of the battle, Han Yunhua's headquarters ate a large number of troops of the North China Front Army like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, and then went to Baoding and broke Tianjin, and in the end, even the commander of the North China Front Army, Tada Jun, did not escape.
During this campaign, the Ancient Military Region established the status of the First Military Group, and the benefits gained were far more than that. Although nominally the entire Shanxi, Hebei, and Beijing-Tianjin regions should now be the territory of the national government, the biggest gains are only in northern Hebei and Suixi. However, in fact, so far, Han Yunhua's department has only withdrawn the troops that have penetrated deep into the hinterland of Shanxi, leaving only a small part to hold the northwest region of Shanxi.
As for most areas of Hebei, Han Yunhua's headquarters has not made a move to withdraw troops, let alone the Beijing-Tianjin region, which has long been coveted by the National People's Government. Although the Nationalist Government had telegraphed the Yan'an Party Central Committee, asking the Party Central Committee to order Han Yunhua's headquarters to immediately withdraw from southern Hebei, the Nationalist Government had to send Wei Lihuang's headquarters to southern Hebei.
However, with the reorganization of the Japanese North China Front Army, reinforcements continued to arrive in North China, and the Nationalist Government was a little timid again, and Wei Lihuang's more than 100,000 troops stationed in the Jiā boundary area between Shanxi and Hebei did not move, and the entire southern Hebei region except for Gao Shuxun's 39th Group Army was left with the Eighth Route Army. Therefore, Han Yunhua's subordinates have now actually controlled most of Suiyuan, Chahar, Rehe, and Hebei Province, and the entire Inner Ng Ancient Military Region has made a lot of money in that war.
Shen Yùquan is Han Yunhua's old partner, he watched Han Yunhua grow up step by step, when Han Yunhua was a small infantry commander, he has been following Han Yunhua, so he knows Han Yunhua far better than ordinary people, and the tacit understanding between him and Han Yunhua is not comparable to the later Zuo Quan and the current Luo Ronghuan.
Shen Yiquan, who knew Han Yunhua's plans, knew very well what Han Yunhua lacked now, and what Han Yunhua lacked now was just an excuse. In Han Yunhua's words, there are policies and countermeasures, isn't it not that we will not clash with the princes of the ancient clan at will, then I will personally ask these princes to send us troops, and as long as we find evidence of those ancient princes who are abusing the Han people, is it to ensure that those so-called ethnic policies can still tolerate those guys as Han jiān, so what Han Yunhua lacks now is just an excuse to send troops, Shen Yiquan was in charge of Suidong in order to find this breakthrough point.
After Shen Yiquan arrived in Suidong, he began to arrange a blow to the Japanese puppet army in Suidong, because there was an order pressed on it, so Shen Yiquan did not dare to blatantly send troops to fight the Japanese puppet army in Suidong, so he constantly sent capable small troops to raid the Japanese strongholds.
After several months of continuous anger, the cavalry group belonging to the Kwantung Army continued to increase troops in the direction of Suidong, from the beginning of 5,000 people has increased to more than 30,000 now, the conflict between the two sides is becoming more and more fierce, a few days ago there was even a tragic cavalry encounter in Zarut, a cavalry wing of the Japanese army plunged into the arms of the 1st Division and 1st Brigade of the Aurege Cavalry, and the two sides were engaged in a life-and-death duel between the cavalry.
In that battle, due to the absolute superiority of the number of the 1st cavalry division, 5000V1200 people, the result is self-evident. After two hours of fighting, the 1st Cavalry Division finally annihilated the Japanese cavalry wing. Afterwards, the soldiers of the 1st Cavalry Division and 1st Brigade also did an extremely ugly thing for the Japanese - torture the corpses, and the soldiers of the 1st Brigade beheaded all the Japanese soldiers, including about 100 prisoners, and then cut off their heads, and used their heads to cast a "Jingguan".
"Jingguan", also known as "Wujun", is to pile the corpses of enemy soldiers on both sides of the road, cover the soil and tamp it, forming a pyramid-shaped mound. As we all know, Japan is a country of great faith, Japanese culture believes that the head is the place of the soul, you can die, but you can't have no soul, so the Japanese army is the most afraid of being beheaded, and at the same time, it is also the most taboo to be beheaded, so that China has so many broadsword teams.
It is nothing to be completely annihilated by the squadron ** a cavalry wing, and there was a precedent for the entire cavalry group to be annihilated some time ago, which fully shows that the cavalry of the squadron can already compete with the Japanese army, so it is not a big deal to be completely annihilated a cavalry wing now. But the problem is that such an insult to the corpses of the warriors of the Imperial Japanese Army is unforgivable, and it will seriously affect the honor and morale of the Imperial Army. Therefore, Lieutenant General Tian Jiro, commander of the Japanese cavalry group, was furious after receiving the telegram and ordered the 4th Cavalry Division, the 110th Division, and the 7th and 12th Cavalry Divisions of the puppet Manchukuo Wehrmacht to immediately march eastward and kill Xilinhot by three routes.
Xilinhot, Suidong Army Divisional Headquarters.
"Commander, two cavalry divisions of the Japanese army, two puppet cavalry divisions, a total of more than 27,000 people, are coming to the defense area of our army division, and now its vanguard has reached Fuhe and Kundu, what should we do?"
Shen Yiquan frowned and asked, "Aolige, are you sure that the Japanese army only came with two cavalry divisions and two puppet cavalry divisions this time?" In the absence of other troops? ”
Aurege thought for a while and said: "No, according to the report that I arranged the ranger on the grassland, the number of Japanese soldiers this time is not large, and they are all those who have fought with us before, and their numbers are very recognizable, and they will not be wrong." ”
"That's not right, some time ago, our intelligence officers reported that the Japanese army transferred a total of 3 cavalry divisions, 5 puppet army divisions and 2 ancient cavalry divisions from Hulunbuir and Qiqihar to the south, with a total strength of about 85,000 people. Now there are less than 30,000 people who have come to attack us, this is not the style of the Japanese army, and the rest of their troops are there, and there is a conspiracy in it. "Shen yùquan is worthy of being an old soldier ... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ]
