Section 3 The Game Behind the Scenes VIII
The headquarters of the Kwantung Army retreated south, but Okabe Naosaburo insisted on not leaving, and Qin Yan Saburo also refused to leave now, and the seven divisions on the east bank of the Hunhe River were seizing every opportunity to evacuate, and the ** Second Brigade of the Tank rushed to Xiuyan at a gallop
In the western part of Xiuyan, in the mountains, Lu Ruishan led his troops to rush along the mountain road, the long line was dragging on the mountain road, and the soldiers were sweating, but they did not say a word, and hurried away
On the sea, thousands of sails are competing, the second echelon of the 51st Army is leaving Qinhuangdao and heading towards Gaizhou, Xia Yanglin is standing anxiously in the bow of the ship, and he can't help but ask to speed up the sky, the fighters roar, and dozens of silver eagles are hovering in the air, protecting the fleet below
Yingkou Port, gunsmoke filled, fires soared into the sky, several patrol boats rushed out of the port in the face of artillery fire, several P51s roared down from the sky, machine guns sprayed bullets like raindrops, several fires appeared on the sea, several explosions sounded one after another, and soon the sea surface returned to calm
In the distance, hundreds of warplanes bombed around Arthur, and the port of Arthur was in flames, and the only few patrol boats were all blown up at the dock, and the entire Japanese navy was blocked in the port by the Chinese air force
On the Hunhe front, the team launched a round of attacks, hundreds of cannons spewed out the flames of revenge, and the Japanese positions on the east bank were flooded by gunsmoke and flames, and the Japanese soldiers struggled to support under the artillery fire
On the wide river, hundreds of small boats braved the fire of the cannon to sail to the opposite bank, and the waves of the shells were sprinkled on the soldiers, and from time to time the soldiers fell into the river with a wail, while the rest of the soldiers still tried to paddle
On the road to the east, there were many figures, horses neighed, and the Japanese army was retreating south, and three planes sprang out of the clouds on the horizon, and the planes circled in the sky, and then swooped down to the ground, and the marching team quickly scattered to both sides, hiding in the woods on both sides, and a long string of dust splashed on the ground, and two trucks full of ammunition exploded
Ten minutes later, the plane staggered away from the troops and came out of the woods, the road was desolate, the trucks continued to burn, the wounded were shouting loudly, the soldiers began to busily pack up the ammunition that could still be used to bandage the wounded, and after everything stopped, they continued on the road
Throughout the Hunhe River, the Japanese army left the seven brigades dominated by the 188th Division to hold the east bank, covering the entire main force to transfer seven brigades, to defend hundreds of miles of river banks, more than a dozen possible ferries, and withstand the strong attack of hundreds of thousands of troops, neither Tonghua Okabe Naosaburo nor the former enemy commander-in-chief Yoshio Hongo thought they could come back alive
After the great changes on the Western Front, after Yasuken Nakajima received a report on the battle situation, the entire command headquarters immediately became nervous, and in just one day, the battlefield underwent such drastic changes, and there was a huge disagreement within the command headquarters about where the troops would go next
Yasuken Nakajima did not have time to form his own command structure, but turned the headquarters of the 270th Division into his command headquarters, and the commander of the 270th Division, Lieutenant General Hideken Yoshikura, was a senior two years older than him at the Army University, and the two were very familiar with each other
After a short period of movement, the chief of staff of the 270th Division, Nakamori, first proposed to abandon the Eastern Front and retreat across the Yalu River to solidify the south bank of the Yalu River
Yoshikura supported Nakamori's proposal: "Nakajima-kun, now the Chinese Army has not yet entered the Tonghua Nineteenth Group Army, and the front has only reached the right flank of the Liuhe River, and the First Mechanized Group Army of China has only reached the Mengjiang River, they will need at least two days to go to Tonghua, and two days have passed, the Hunhe River must have been lost, and the Western Front has begun to evacuate If we still stay near Tonghua, it is easy to be attacked by the East and West of the Zhina Army."
Nakajima Yasuken did not speak, he carefully studied the map, the situation shown on the map was very unfavorable to Japan, the 49th Army on the front was depressed, the 103rd Army attacking on the front had entered Liuhe, the 102nd Army on the left flank occupied Jiangjiadian, and the 2nd Cavalry Army seized Shengshui Hezi
After the First Mechanized Group Army occupied Fusong on the Mengjiang River, it followed the Futong Highway to Jiangyuan, and in the distance, the First Army swept through the southeast of Ji, where the Manchurian Defense Forces surrendered one after another, and the First Division of the Airborne Forces seized Yanji and approached the Tumen River
The danger is that the Zhina Army that came from Fushun, this Zhina Army suddenly appeared a few days ago, the number is the 51st Group Army, this group army is very fast, in just two days it has advanced nearly 100 kilometers, and now it may be crossing the old bald mountain
"Okay, let's evacuate" Nakajima Yasuken turned his head to look at the officers in the division headquarters, the officers were relieved, Nakajima Yasuken is not unknown now, but famous, some of his deeds have long been circulated in the Japanese army before he opened his mouth, all the officers were worried that he would not evacuate, now he is relieved, everyone is relieved
"However, we can't just evacuate" Yasuken Nakajima glanced at everyone and turned to point to the map and said: "Gentlemen, you see, the 49th Group Army is on the front, and they have slowed down the pace of attack, on the contrary, the pace of the attack of the 1st Mechanized Group Army is very fast, they have gone south from Harbin, and they have walked thousands of miles along the way; What does this mean? ”
Everyone looked at Nakajima Kangjian, Yoshikura thought for a while and asked tentatively, "Is it logistics?" ”
Nakajima Kangjian nodded: "Yoshikura-kun is right, it is logistics, the capacity of tanks and armored vehicles is large, but it needs oil, you know very well, whether it is Harbin or Beijing, the materials have all been rushed south by us, they can't get oil supplements from Beiman, they can only take care of themselves, I believe they must have been supplemented, but this supplement cannot fully meet his needs; The commander of this group army is called Qiu Qingquan, this person is very confident and arrogant, I want to make something about him"
Although the northeast is cold in spring, it is very comfortable in summer, Sun Zhen sat comfortably under the grape trellis in the temple and drank tea, and the ripe grapes hung on his head like this, he sat in a good position, and he could clearly see the figures of the staff officers coming in and out
"This is this spring's tea," the abbot put down the teacup and said to Sun Zhen: "Although it is not as fragrant as the southern tea, it tastes pure."
Sun Zhen laughed: "Master, I won't tell you, I'm just a big boss, I drink human blood on the battlefield to the habit, this tea is just a vassal elegance, I don't know if it's good or bad."
I always said that I don't know if it's really good or bad or I know a little, but I also know a little bit, Sun Zhen is worried that the old monk will discuss the tea scripture with him, then it will be a shame to lose a lot of hair, it is better to be refreshing and admit it yourself
Sun Zhen set up his headquarters in the Qingliang Temple outside Liaoyuan City, the Qingliang Temple is not large, only more than a dozen monks Sun Zhen occupied a few wings in the backyard, except for a few chief officers, most of the officers and soldiers lived outside the temple
The Western Front was in full swing, but the Eastern Front was very free, and there was not much of a battle, and the Japanese army put on a posture in Gongzhuling, Sun Zhen was in a mood for a while, thinking that he could have a good fight now, but before his team was assembled in place, the Japanese army ran away and left his hundreds of thousands of troops there
In the ensuing pursuit, the resistance of the Japanese army was still not firm, and there was not a single battle of the Three Routes Army, and the Japanese army occasionally stopped to fight for a few hours, then ran again, and then stopped and fought for a few hours
The Japanese army gave up Siping, Liaoyuan, and Panshi in succession, not only Sun Zhen was puzzled, but Qiu Qingquan, Guo Xunqi, and Sun Liren below didn't know if Japan kept retreating to Korea like this
Yesterday, news came from the theater command reminding him that the Japanese army is likely to reinforce the Western Front on a large scale, and that it is necessary to pay attention to the coordination of the two flanks when attacking, and to be vigilant against the Japanese ambush
Fighting under the command of Zhuang Jihua for a long time, Sun Zhen knew very well that Zhuang Jihua would not say this easily, from the beginning of the offensive on the Eastern Front, Zhuang Jihua only sent two telegrams, one was to order him to send the Eighth Army north to seize territory; The first was to warn him that he must wait for the 49th Group Army and the 1st Mechanized Army to arrive before moving south
He carried out these two orders, and this time he still didn't dare to take it lightly, he ordered Guo Xunqi and Qiu Qingquan to slow down and pay attention to the cooperation between the two group armies
Guo Xunqi obeyed the order and the 19th Group Army's offensive slowed down, but Qiu Qingquan was unruly, he simply called back, the First Mechanized Group Army is made of steel, not tofu, and the little devil does not have such good teeth; Sun Liren's call back was simple, and he sent a few devils to my soldiers to see
Although Zhuang Jihua has repeatedly emphasized that it is not allowed to have mixed opinions, this kind of prejudice has always existed, but it is much better than other war zones, but Qiu Qingquan and Sun Liren, only Zhuang Jihua can suppress them in the entire war zone
The telegram of the two was very polite, and Sun Zhen didn't care, especially in the direction of Sun Liren, there are almost no Japanese in this direction, Sun Liren can completely let go, if it weren't for Zhuang Jihua's order, he would have been able to kill all the way to Vladivostok
But Qiu Qingquan's side is different, the Jinan Mountains are rugged, the terrain is complex, and the tank is not suitable for fighting in this terrain, but Sun Zhen also knows that Qiu Qingquan's xìng grid, knowing that no matter how he prompts, he can't do it if he doesn't comply, even if he finally agrees, in practice, he won't do it, so Sun Zhen simply sent another telegram, and then he didn't care
"The general Rong Ma is handsome, saving the people from fire and water, how can he be like us, attending Zen and worshiping the Buddha all day long, and there is a stinky skin" The abbot is very modest, although Sun Zhen said rudely, but according to his observation, in fact, this person is not so rude, and it is generally because of modesty
"I am from Sichuan, I used to study Teng at the Baoding Military Academy, and I have a little ink in my stomach, but I really don't understand this tea" Sun Zhen smiled, and then asked: "Master, the Northeast is recovered, and the future is to build the Northeast, there are relatively few Northeast people in our army, how to build the Northeast, please ask the master for guidance"
The abbot quietly took a sip of tea, and then quietly shook his head: "The general is too modest, General Zhuang has both cultural relics, although the old man is outside the world, he has also heard of the great name, how to build the Northeast, naturally there is a strategy, why should the general worry," Speaking of this, the abbot's tone changed: "However, since the general asked, if the old man didn't say it, the general would be responsible, thinking that the old man was self-conscious."
Sun Zhen smiled quietly, the Northeast was recovered, please trust the people of the Northeast who are slaves, and sent out great enthusiasm, everywhere they went, the people welcomed them, the support was unprecedentedly high, the recruitment office was crowded with people who asked to be soldiers, all kinds of condolence materials were piled up in the barracks, and some officers who had been fighting for a long time without wives were enthusiastically pursued by young women
The main reason why he had this question was that he had a feeling that after the recovery of the Northeast, Zhuang Jihua was likely to let Lao Sichuan Army generals like Yang Sen, Wang Lingji, and Pan Wenhua leave the army and serve in local posts
The abbot continued: "According to the old man's view, there are only two things to govern the place, follow the trend, what is the meaning of following the trend, recruiting talents, understanding the people's feelings, and thin tax burden; The Northeast is fertile and sparsely populated, rich in products, and politicians only need to remember these nine words, and the local nature will be governed by nature."
Sun Zhen nodded frequently, with a teachable look, and he was about to answer, when the chief of staff ran over and spoke: "Commander, Commander Zhuang is in an emergency"
