June 23, 1939, morning, Yichun. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Xiaolu has been in the command room for the past few days, and he hardly goes out every day. He was most concerned about the situation in the north and west of the Nenjiang River. Of course, the Battle of Nomenkan is the focus, but his eyes are definitely not just one Nomenkan, but the entire Nenjiang River and the entire Daxinganling.

Historically, Li Zhaolin successfully fought several battles in the Nenjiang River Valley, and at that time, the Battle of Nomenkan was underway. General Li Zhaolin's actions not only hit the empty door of the Japanese army, but also greatly responded to the Soviet military action.

Xiaolu is to take advantage of this opportunity to take down the Nenjiang region, that is, the pseudo-Hung Yen province. It is more difficult to take down the railway line, but it must be won in the countryside and mountainous areas.

A few days ago, North Korea's refugee policy**, many people came to ask, then I am Han, can I be divided into one person and one place? My relatives are hired farmers and have no land, can they come? Not only the people came to ask, but even many cadres and soldiers of the army were asking.

After a meeting of the Northeast Bureau, the Yichun government made supplementary regulations to encourage poor hired peasants who had lost their land to come to the areas under the jurisdiction of the anti-Japanese government and give them wasteland to reclaim. The supplementary regulations also say that this policy applies to all displaced people and to all families of anti-Japanese elements.

As a result of the policy of the last Korean refugees**, the hearts of the Korean refugees were completely linked to the anti-Japanese government. North Koreans have come from North Korea one after another to seek refuge with relatives and friends, and the Yichun government knows that the Han people in other parts of the country will also be attracted by this policy, and they will come one after another.

Therefore, it is necessary to solve the land problem, that is, to occupy more areas and resettle these people. In the previous period, the refugees were mainly arranged in the area of Bei'an and Wutong River, and the land in the Bei'an area was basically reclaimed in the north. And the large wasteland on both sides of the Nenjiang River is the best place to arrange them.

Now that there is the Battle of Nomenkan, Xiaolu naturally sets his sights there.

Now, Xiaolu also wants to open up a base in the mountains of the Great Khing'an Mountains. His eyes have been set on Jiagedaqi, and if he wants to enter Jiagedaqi, he must take down the countryside near Qiqihar.

Xiaolu received a report from the Soviet side that several Soviet lost planes attacked Hailar and were attacked by the Japanese army for no reason, so they had to return fire, shooting down thirteen Japanese planes and five Soviet planes. In addition, it has been confirmed that the pilot who parachuted was rescued by friendly forces, and I would like to express my gratitude.

Soon, Xiaolu had already received a telegram from Song Laohu. In addition to the four Soviet pilots, he cared about several other Japanese pilots. This was the starting point of his future aviation career, an instructor at his flight school.

Koji called back, congratulating the Soviet Aerospace Forces on their achievements. The four Soviet pilots managed to send the plane back to Mongolia safely in time, and if the Japanese plane was captured, the Soviet pilots were to fly the plane back to Yichun. At the same time, they were asked to hit the Japanese airfield in the Taoer River valley and strive to capture the Japanese planes.

Within 15 minutes, Xiaolu sent a second telegram: "General Zhukov, Yakov. General Smushkevich: According to intelligence, I have a bad feeling that the Japanese army will sneak up on airfields in Mongolia and the territory of the USSR. According to our reconnaissance, the Japanese army still had a lot of planes in the hangar, which were not destroyed. In addition, around the battlefield, the Japanese army had many airfields, and the planes were still intact. It is very likely that the Japanese will attack by surprise, and the target of the sneak attack will be the airfield. It is advisable to be prepared. ”

Xiaolu sent a telegram, and as for whether the Soviets acted or not, it could not be forced.

His eyes were fixed on the railway from Baicheng to Arshan. Wang Santai's troops had just captured the oil trucks and demolished a long section of the railway, and the puppet Xing'an division was already trapped in Wuchagou.

June 23, 1939, noon, Wuchagou.

The officers of the Hung Yen division were depressed.

The Xing'an Division was established a little more than a year ago, and its headquarters was in Zhengjiatun. In May 1938, the Japanese selected some so-called outstanding officers and soldiers from the puppet Xing'an Army to form the Xing'an Division. At that time, the Japanese Kwantung Army allocated a lot of good equipment in terms of equipment and other aspects, and the Xing'an Division was better than other puppet armies.

The newly formed Hung Yen Division was under the leadership of the Ninth Military Region. The Ninth Military Administrative Region, also known as the Xing'an Military Administrative Region, was commanded by General Batmara Budan, who turned out to be the prince of the Zarat Banner, and obtained this vacant post after defecting to Japan.

Of course, the main commander was held by the Japanese.

Nomura Noboru Kamee was a division commander with the rank of lieutenant general, and graduated from the Japanese Army University. Noda Nakasa is a military adviser (a special officer of the Japanese Kwantung Army); The chief of staff called Colonel Goto Waima; Most of the staff officers and adjutants of the division headquarters are Japanese, and even the company commander and platoon commander are Japanese.

The shelves of the Japanese division headquarters were easy to erect, but the officers and soldiers were all transferred in from various units, dragging their feet. It was not until the beginning of June 1939 that the transferred personnel were basically ready.

The Xing'an Division has the 4th, 5th, and 12th Regiments of the Xing'an Cavalry, a total of three cavalry regiments. In addition, there are artillery regiments, mortar regiments, separate cavalry companies, communications companies, field hospitals. When he participated in the Normenhan War, he was attached to a cavalry regiment, that is, the teaching regiment of the Army Hung Yen Military Academy. In addition, a convoy of cars was attached to it, with a total of 30 trucks and 3 armored vehicles.

This belongs to the first-rate equipment division in the puppet army.

The commanders of the regiments of the Khingan Division were overwhelmingly Japanese officers. Colonel Takahashi, commander of the 4th Regiment, Major Kimura, deputy commander of the regiment; Lieutenant Colonel Qin Huanzhang (Mongolian), commander of the 5th Regiment, and Major Furuno of the regiment; Colonel Tanaka, commander of the 12th Regiment, and Lieutenant Colonel Inoue, deputy of the regiment; The commander of the teaching regiment, Colonel Kim Yong-bok (Da nationality), the deputy lieutenant colonel of the regiment, the commander of the artillery regiment, Colonel Hirakawamori, the commander of the mortar regiment, Colonel Nakano, the commander of the independent cavalry company, Major Kobayashi, and the puppet officers of the other companies were two-thirds Japanese.

Why isn't the rank of the Japanese called Dasa, Zhongsa, and Shaosa? Because it was incorporated into the sequence of the puppet army, the military rank came according to the sequence of the puppet army.

The pseudo-Xing'an division belongs to the first type of establishment, and below the division is the regiment, and under the regiment is directly the company.

There were three companies of cavalry per regiment of the Hung Yen Division. A company of machine guns, Type 92 heavy machine guns, amazing. One company of rapid-fire guns, with a caliber of 37 mm, is better than other puppet armies, with a total of five companies. The machine gun company had four heavy machine guns; The rapid-fire artillery company had four consecutive guns. The cavalry company and platoon are all four-four systems. There were two light machine guns in each platoon, two grenadiers. The artillery regiment of the Xing'an Division had eight mountain guns of the 41 type, four mountain guns of the Keshan type, four heavy mortars and eight light mortars of the mortar regiment, which was second only to the Japanese army in terms of weaponry at that time.

The equipment is great, but the people can't. This is the problem of the Xing'an Division.

In the puppet Xing'an Division, except for the original members of the Fifth Regiment and the Teaching Regiment, who belonged completely, the other departments and teachers were newly transferred, and some were transferred from thousands of miles away. There are many officers and soldiers who do not know each other, the regiment commander does not know the company commander, and the company commander does not know the soldiers.

There is no shortage of guns, but the cavalry equipment is not good, some cavalry have no horses, some have horses but no saddles, and the artillery lacks pack horses and pull horses. Just bought horses and saddles in Wangye Temple, Ulan Maodu, Hailar and other places, but it is still not enough.

With such a newly formed army, the Japanese officers did not dare to leave the soldiers at all, and Division Commander Nomura Noboru also went with the team. Along the way, there were constant problems with the railway, and the officers of the Hung Yen Division were depressed.
