With four heavy artillery brigades and three divisions of artillery regiments, the Eastern Route Army of the Northeast New Army can compete with the Soviet Army in terms of artillery scale. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The two sides engaged in a fierce artillery battle across the river, causing mutual damage.

Due to the continuous thunderstorms in Heilongjiang, the air forces of the two sides are basically useless.

On the second day of the artillery battle, the Soviet army took the initiative to stop the shelling because of the complete rout of the Western Route Army and began to withdraw from the combat area one after another.

On the battlefield on the Western Front, the Soviet army, under the attack of more than 100,000 new troops in the northeast, was defeated from outside Hailar City.

>> "Pig Island Novel; Zhang Xinghan ordered the troops to chase after him and pursued them all the way to Manchuria, where the tens of thousands of Soviet troops left behind in Manchuria were affected by the rout of the main force.

In addition, the Northeast New Army has already mastered air supremacy and is facing air threats at all times.

As a result, the troops composed of tens of thousands of logistics and wounded troops hurriedly evacuated Manchuria before the pursuit of the Northeast New Army arrived.

The New Army in the Northeast easily regained Manchuria, and wiped out countless small units of the Soviet Army along the way.

After the pursuit until the border area, Zhang Xinghan ordered the ground troops to stop the pursuit.

It's not that he doesn't want to drive straight into the nest of the Soviet army, but the time has not yet come, and the three northeastern provinces have suffered wars one after another, and the people are already unbearable.

The economy is already on the verge of collapse, so Zhang Xinghan cannot use troops abroad yet.

The end of the reckless army, there are already painful examples in history, and no matter how angry Zhang Xinghan is, he can only endure it temporarily.

However, although the ground forces stopped the pursuit, Zhang Xinghan did not restrain the air force from continuing the pursuit.

Instead, he instructed Zhang Xinghua, Liu Cuigang and other commanders to increase the number of attendances and carry out continuous air raids and pursuit of the retreating Soviet troops who were evacuating from the Sino-Soviet border by the original route.

Considerable casualties and losses were inflicted on the Soviet troops.

On March 23, the 22nd year of the Republic of China (1933), the Northeast New Army won a complete victory in the defense of North Manchuria.

In this battle, more than 50,000 Soviet troops were killed and wounded, and countless were captured.

However, due to the fact that the main force had previously fought against the Japanese in South Manchuria, the 5th and 8th independent divisions and a large number of military police units suffered heavy losses.

Therefore, the Northeast New Army also paid a considerable price in this battle.

However, Zhang Xinghan also summed up some valuable experience in this battle.

He understood. For an opponent like the Soviet Army, which had a large armored force, the mobility was much stronger than that of the Japanese army.

Coupled with the terrain of Hulunbuir Prairie, unless you have the strength of absolute superiority.

Otherwise, it is basically impossible to truly keep the enemy out of the country.

In view of this, after the victory of the defense of North Manchuria, Zhang Xinghan only symbolically deployed a tank regiment and a motorized infantry regiment in Manchuria.

The main defensive forces were placed in Hailar and even Qiqihar and other places.

Echelon deployment of troops, deepening strategic defense in depth, or the same sentence, space for time.

After making some simple arrangements, Zhang Xinghan handed over the aftermath to Liu Guodong and others to deal with. He took the guard battalion from Qiqihar to Jilin City by transport plane.

Due to the heavy losses of the 5th and 8th Divisions, especially the 8th Division, in this battle, Zhang Xinghan decided to replace the above two divisions with the 2nd and 3rd Divisions to garrison the Hailar line.

The 5th Division returned to Qiqihar, the 8th Division returned to Songyuan, and the Daqing area re-recruited new recruits to rest and replenish.

The 9th and 4th Divisions set off one after another, preparing to return to Changchun and Shenyang, where the garrison of the Northeast New Army was extremely weak, although it now belonged to the hinterland of the Northeast New Army.

But it is not possible to do without a garrison for a long time.

On the afternoon of March 23, 21st year of the Republic of China. About 40 kilometers south of the Yalu River, it is the administrative center of North Pyongan Province in Bangzi Province - Sinuiju.

Until 1910, Sinuiju was a small border village with no name.

Later, river ports were opened, and in 1924, the little devils invaded the Korean Peninsula in order to facilitate the plundering of the resources of northeastern and central China by rail. The administrative center of North Pyongan Province was moved to Sinuiju.

Since then, Sinuiju has entered a stage of rapid development.

After nearly a decade of development, it has become very prosperous and the population has surged a lot.

The Japanese army on the Korean Peninsula used it as an important channel to communicate with the Kwantung Army in the northeast, and its strategic location was quite important.

In the past. When the Kwantung Army was fully armed, the situation in the Tohoku region did not deteriorate, and the Japanese 19th Division stationed on the Korean Peninsula deployed only one infantry squadron here. Plus a few hundred puppet soldiers, of course, the puppet army of the Stick Country.

However, as the situation in the northeast deteriorated, the Kwantung Army was defeated, and the Japanese army began to increase the garrison on the border of the Yalu River.

The Japanese puppet army stationed in Sinuiju has increased from more than 500 to more than 5,000, including more than 2,800 Japanese troops.

When it was learned that Dalian Lushun had been lost one after another, the Kwantung Army had completely lost its last foundation in Manchuria.

The Japanese base camp began to order the Japanese troops stationed on the Korean Peninsula to blow up the bridge over the Yalu River and strengthen the border garrison.

At the same time, the tens of thousands of remnants of the Kwantung Army evacuated from the Arthur fortress were transferred to the Korean Peninsula, and its intention was very clear.

It is intended to use the Korean Peninsula as an overseas base and a springboard for a re-attack on Northeast China in the future.

After all, the country of Bangzi is no longer China's territory in modern times, so unless there are special circumstances, the Northeast New Army will not cross the border to attack the Japanese army on the Korean Peninsula.

Moreover, the North Manchurian region was being attacked by the Soviet army at this time, and the Northeast New Army could be said to be powerless.

It is precisely because the top level of the Japanese base camp has seen this point that they have the intention of continuing to occupy the Korean Peninsula and confronting the Northeast New Army across the river.

At this time, there was only one railway bridge over the Yalu River, located in the territory of Ji'an, which was built by the Railway Bureau of the Japanese Governor-General in Korea.

Approaching April, both sides of the Yalu River basin have already bid farewell to the harsh cold and ushered in the spring season.

The banks of the river are shaded by green trees, and a piece of spring is full of joy.

A railway bridge spans the entire Yalu River, and it is a straight pier bridge with a huge solid pier every few tens of meters.

The whole bridge is about one kilometer long, and it has been built for more than ten years, and there is a direct railway to the South Manchurian railway branch line.

About dozens of Japanese soldiers were busy on the bridge at the moment, and it wasn't long before a Japanese soldier pressed the detonator.

There was a loud bang in the center of the bridge, followed by a series of violent explosions.

In the billowing smoke and fire. The more than 10-year-old railway bridge was completely destroyed by the bombing, and the bridge body broke and fell into the rushing Yalu River.

At the same time as the Japanese army blew up the bridge, there was a port suitable for crossing the river about ten kilometers upstream.

A group of tanks of the Northeast New Army with the emblem of the blue sky and white sun on their bodies are building bridges.

This is the bridge-building tank of the Northeast New Army, and more than 20 bridge-building tanks are superimposed on each other, and a temporary but unusually strong steel bridge was quickly erected on the river surface more than several hundred meters wide.

On the edge of the port, several hundred new officers and men from Northeast China, who had been waiting for a long time, drove onto the bridge in dozens of tanks and armored vehicles and crossed the Yalu River with ease.

Behind them, dozens of trucks followed, also crossing the Yalu River.

After crossing the river, the leader of the team was Feng Zhanhai, commander of the tank regiment of the 1st Division. After the expansion of the Northeast New Army.

Zhang Xinghan incorporated Feng Zhanhai and others into each division, after all, they are all patriotic generals, and the Northeast New Army is now only in Zhang Xinghan's control, so it is not surprising that they are the former generals of the Northeast Army.

Of course, Zhang Xinghan was also carefully considered in terms of specific appointments, such as Feng Zhanhai.

Zhang Xinghan assigned him to Huang Xiansheng's 1st Division as the commander of the tank regiment, and Huang Xiansheng was the former police commissioner of the three northeastern provinces.

It can be said that he is Feng Zhanhai's old acquaintance and Shangfeng, which can not only avoid Feng Zhanhai's dissatisfaction, but also use Huang Xiansheng to suppress him well. It's a win-win.

For this mission, Feng Zhanhai was really happy.

To put it mildly, it is to raise money and food, and in layman's terms, it is to let him lead the troops abroad to rob.

Before you go. Feng Zhanhai made detailed preparations, such as preparing a large number of military uniforms and flags captured by the Japanese army, and wearing a few translation soldiers who could speak Japanese and Korean.

"Tuanza, did you hear the explosion just now?" A major officer took advantage of the break. came to Feng Zhanhai and asked.

"I vaguely heard a little, if I'm not mistaken, it should be the little devil who blew up the bridge." Feng Zhanhai said lukewarmly.

"Tuanza. Not far below is Sinuiju, the little devil will definitely not know that such a force of ours has crossed the Yalu River, you said that we are now a surprise attack, is it possible to capture this Sinuiju in one fell swoop, this is the most important strategic place for the little devil on the Sino-North Korean border, if you take it, it will definitely be a great achievement. The major officer said eagerly.

"You kid has a lot of appetite, we only have less than half a regiment of troops, and you still want to fight Sinuiju?

Before he arrived, the division commander said that the chief of staff had an order, and our task this time was to get food and money, and we didn't care about anything else. Feng Zhanhai paused and said: "

The deputy regiment commander and the second battalion commander should also cross the Yalu River.

Stop talking so much nonsense, get the brethren to change their clothes, and give me the icons on the tanks and armored vehicles and cars, and set off immediately. ”

"Yes!" The major officer did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly stepped forward.

Soon, as the order was delivered, the officers and men took out a large number of Japanese-style military uniforms, military trousers, military hats, and military flags from the compartments of dozens of military trucks.

After a tense and orderly change of clothes, hundreds of Northeast New Army became "Japanese soldiers"

Some soldiers are also hiding the blue sky and white sun emblem on the tank body.

After making all the preparations, Feng Zhanhai got into an armored car and waved his big hand: "Let's go!" ”

The major officer knew Japanese, and reminded with a smile: "Tuanza, you have to talk about opening the way now!" ”

"Oh." Feng Zhanhai nodded suddenly, waved his hand again decently, and said, "Open the way!" ”

Tanks and armoured vehicles, as well as automobiles, started and headed south. (To be continued......)
