Chapter 413: Full Moon (3)

In fact, at this time, Han Yunhua was not fully sure how long he could support the attack of the two major fronts of the Japanese army, although the North China Front Army was no longer a concern for Han Yunhua, compared to those newly formed recruit units, Han Yunhua was most concerned about the old and strong brigade like the Kwantung Army. If the North China Front Army, which has more than 10 divisions under its jurisdiction, is a behemoth, then the Kwantung Army, which has 31 infantry divisions, 11 infantry and tank brigades, 1 death squad brigade and 2 aviation armies, plus the troops of the puppet Manchukuo, the Kwantung Army with a total strength of about 120,000 people is a giant.

Although Han Yunhua also knew that the combat effectiveness of the Kwantung Army at this time was not as strong as people imagined, these cannon fodder in the Pacific Theater were still an invincible force for the current squadron. The Inner M-Ng Ancient Military Region now has nearly 300,000 troops, and all of them are well-trained Jīng Rui, and the vast majority of their troops are veterans who have seen blood on the battlefield. In addition, a large number of arsenals established by the Inner M-Ng Ancient Military Region have been established, so the weapons and equipment of all the troops in the entire Inner M-Ng Ancient Military Region are extremely good, except for being slightly inferior to the Japanese army in terms of heavy weapons, Han Yunhua's troops are not much sharper than the Japanese army in other aspects.

But despite this, Han Yunhua still did not dare to guarantee that he would be able to achieve victory under the joint attack of the Japanese Kwantung Army and the North China Front. However, Han Yunhua did not believe that the Japanese army dared to transfer the main force of the Kwantung Army to North China, you must know that Japan and the Soviet Union at this time have always been very dirty, and the relationship between the two countries is extremely strange.

However, in this forgotten battle, the two sides invested more than 20,000 soldiers, more than 5oo artillery pieces, 9oo aircraft, 1,000 tanks and armored vehicles, and more than 60,000 people died. Among them, in the four months of fighting, the Soviet army invested about 57ooo men, more than 5ooo tanks and about 35o armored vehicles; The official death toll was more than 9ooo casualties. However, according to the files declassified after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the true death toll of the Soviet army was about 7ooo, 1ooo was missing, and about 16ooo were wounded.

After the war, the military medical department of the 6th Army announced that the number of Japanese killed was 7,696, the number of wounded was 8,647, the number of unaccounted for was 1o21, and the total number of troops dispatched was 58,925. However, it is obvious that this number is not real at all, and it does not stand up to scrutiny, first of all, this number can be too close to the number of wounded and the number of killed, if the number of dead and missing is added to the number of missing, the two are almost equal, and the number of dead and missing is more than the number of wounded, which should be relatively rare in war, unless the wounded have the motive of deliberately committing suicide, otherwise the number of wounded on the side should be much larger than the number of dead. Immediately after that, the Japanese 6th Army authorities showed a general casualty figure, and the number of killed and wounded was listed as about 18ooo casualties, but Han Yunhua knew that the losses of the Japanese army in this battle were at least more than 50,000 people, if it were not for the defeat of the Japanese army in the Battle of Nuom-Nkan, then the Japanese army was likely to abandon the United States, Spain and Britain in Southeast Asia, and directly attack the Soviet Union, which posed the greatest threat to them.

Han Yunhua was still happy about the talks between Japan and the Soviet Union, which lasted more than half a year and finally made good progress, and the two sides signed a series of cease-fire agreements and non-aggression pacts. This also caused the Soviet Union to lead the troubles southward, and Japan turned its guns on the United States, and then there was the Pearl Harbor incident that shocked the whole world. As Professor Lorenz of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology once said, "A butterfly flapping its wings in the heart of Asia may cause a storm in the South Pacific in a few weeks." "In the military and political spheres, the causes of many major historical events may be negligible, but the "butterfly effect" produced is eye-popping. The Battle of Norm-Nkhhan is a case in point, as one could have predicted that an obscure border conflict in the heart of Asia would set the stage for the eventual defeat of the Axis powers.

By this time, the evil Nazis had extended their grip to the surrounding countries, even though the Soviet Union had previously signed a non-aggression pact with Germany. However, Stalin, as a mature politician, did not believe in Germany's sincerity, knowing that at this time Germany had begun to occupy Western Europe and Northern Europe, Finland, Norway and Sweden and other countries had been defeated, and Luxembourg, Belgium and Portugal were also in danger. If the Soviet Union and Germany were to go to war in Eastern Europe, then the question of whether the security of the rear could be guaranteed was a question. However, fortunately, Zhukov was not bad, and lived up to Stalin's trust, and a few months ago the invading Japanese army was crushed on the Sino-M-Ng border.

Han Yunhua was very concerned about the secret battle between Japan and the Soviet Union, because he knew that the significance of that battle was far more significant than people imagined, and it could be said that it changed the whole world because of it. As an editorial in the New York Times on July 2o, 1939, commented on the bitter struggle between the Soviet Red Army and the Japanese army in the M-Ng steppe, the Times scoffed with disdain that "[they] vent their anger in a corner of the world that people don't notice." It wasn't until two years later when the Japanese bombs were dropped on Pearl Harbor that the Americans realized that it was precisely the First World War, which they considered insignificant, that changed the object of Japan's war, and that it was precisely this small country that they simply despised that gave them a fatal blow. Americans paid a heavy price for their pride and carelessness.

The distrust between the Soviet Union and Japan also caused Japan to dare not send nearly 800,000 troops stationed on the Sino-Soviet border to the Chinese battlefield, and it was a miracle that the Japanese army was able to mobilize four divisions to go south with the current situation, and you must know that there were still more than 100,000 Soviet Red Army troops stationed on the Sino-Soviet border at this time.

However, this is just Han Yunhua's speculation, in fact, whether the Japanese Kwantung Army can go south is still a question, if it can't go south, then the North China Front Army alone is simply a piece of scum, and the North China Front Army, which has lost its sharp strength and even more lost its belief in battle, has lost its qualification to compete with the M-Ng Ancient Military Region.

Moreover, Han Yunhua already had a preliminary plan for the next battle, so although he was not completely sure in his heart, he still wanted to gamble, and if he lost the bet, he would spit out all the results of the previous period of battle, and if he won the bet, there would be no more war in the entire North China region. The gain is not proportional to the pay, where to find such a good thing, so Han Yunhua thought for a while and asked Political Commissar Luo and the cadres at the ministerial level of the military region to send a joint telegram to the Party Central Committee and the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, hoping that the Eighth Route Army Headquarters could cooperate with the actions of the Inner M-Ng Ancient Military Region.

Immediately after that, Han Yunhua gave a new order to the entire military region, and from now on, all the special forces of the Inner M-NG Ancient Military Region immediately infiltrated the occupied area in the form of a brigade to create ho;n1u-n, of which the Feilong special combat team entered the territory of Northeast Manchukuo, the Eagle special combat team entered the territory of Shanxi, and the Wang Xiaohu and Xiaofeng special operations brigade immediately infiltrated the Shandong boundary, and as for the last Cheetah special combat team, Han Yunhua directly lined up in the Jiao border area between Hebei and Henan.

At the same time, the military and political chiefs of each county under the jurisdiction of the Inner M-Ng Ancient Military Region have received the latest orders issued by the Military Region, and Han Yunhua ordered all counties to assemble troops centered on the county seat, whether it is a militia or a guerrilla, or those stragglers, as long as they are sincere in resisting Japan, they can assemble and train strictly, and wait for the latest instructions of the Military Region.
