Chapter 480: Battle Shandong

Northeast. Upper reaches of the Liao River.

Li Dingguo led his troops to ambush a transport brigade of the puppet Manchukuo and completely annihilate an infantry brigade of the National Defense Army.

"Reading"

At 5 o'clock this afternoon, the cavalry group of our army completely annihilated the 98th Cavalry Division of the Japanese Army, the 9th and 12th Divisions of the Cavalry of the puppet Manchukuo National Defense Army, and completely annihilated more than 35,000 Japanese puppet troops and inflicted heavy losses on the enemy. You are hereby ordered to immediately assemble heavy forces to besiege Tongliao and its surrounding counties and cities, destroy the enemy's munitions and materials stored in Tongliao, and cut off the enemy's rear route, Shen Yùquan, Suidong Military Division, February 28, 1941. ”

"Got it, notify the communication company immediately"

"Yes"

Five minutes later, more than a hundred sturdy men gathered in front of the residence of Li Dingguo, who was temporarily stationed. A cadre wearing a sheepskin jacket and a cotton hat quickly ran over and said: "Report to the brigade commander, the communication company has been assembled, it should be 187 people, but it is 187 people, please instruct"

"Homecoming"

"Take a break"

"Risaki"

"Order: The whole company of the communication company set off, and now immediately rush to the garrisons of all troops, order all regiments, battalions, companies, and platoons to assemble at Baolong Mountain immediately, and cancel all battles large and small immediately, no matter how many horses are killed, the order must be conveyed, and it must be told to the military commanders of all units, do you understand?"

"Hear and understand, make sure to complete the task," everyone in the communication company said in unison.

"Alright, let's carry out the order"

"Yes"

Liu Zhiguo, commander of the communications company, flew on his horse and shouted: "Get on the horse, one platoon and one squad will go to Changling to notify the first regiment, one platoon and two squads will go to Longshan to notify the second regiment, one platoon and three squads will go to Xinglong to notify the fourth regiment, and the second platoon and one squad will go."

Not to mention that Li Dingguo's side hurriedly assembled troops to prepare for opening up, but Han Yunhua's side was overjoyed after receiving the good news from Saibei, and immediately sent an order to inform the whole military region to commend the Suidong Army Sub-district, and at the same time sent this good news to the Yan'an Party Central Military Commission and the Eighth Route Army Headquarters.

The news that more than 30,000 cavalry of the Japanese army was completely annihilated by Han Yunhua's department soon spread all over the north and south of the river, and suddenly the country was full of joy, Han Yunhua is like a symbol of the god of war, as long as he appears in the place where victory will always be accompanied, for a time young students from all over the country have flocked to Shandong, hoping to see Han Yunhua on the Shandong front line or participate in the troops led by Han Yunhua.

Jinan. Headquarters of the North China Front of the Japanese Army.

After reading the information sent by Yamaguchi Meizi, Okamura Ningji was silent, it was not that he had not thought of such an ending before, after all, everyone in the Inner Ancient Military Region knew about it, and even most of the entire North China Front Army had been planted in the hands of Han Yunhua's department, and it was not impossible to completely annihilate a few cavalry divisions. And to be honest, the rudeness of this battle in the north will not affect his head in Gangcun, if you want to say that the person in charge is also the commander of the Kwantung Army, even if someone is responsible for the defeat of the war, it will not be his turn to Okamura Ningji.

However, Okamura Ninji was still extremely sad, because no matter what, the losses were all the warriors of the Great Japanese Empire, and although only more than 12,000 of the more than 30,000 people were real Japanese troops, these 12,000 people were not something that the empire could afford to lose at will. You must know that the reason why Han Yunhua's department can rise in such a short period of time is not unrelated to the "support" of the imperial army, according to the combat experience of the past few years, those senior officers of the Japanese army have found the "main reason" for the rise of Han Yunhua's department, and the most important point is that soon after each major war, Han Yunhua's department will undergo major changes, and its strength will also develop by leaps and bounds.

The loss of 300,000 troops this time would not have had much impact on Japan, but Okamura Ningji knew that the gains of Han Yunhua's troops this time were far more than the results of these 300,000 emperors, but the addition of tens of thousands of cavalry troops.

"Yamaguchi, how many troops does the empire still have in the northern steppes of China, and who is the commander?" Okamura asked in a deep voice.

Yamaguchi Meizi said: "The empire sent a total of nearly 90,000 troops to the northern steppe of China this time, of which more than 95 were cavalry, and the Kwantung Army Headquarters also deployed 60,000 troops outside Shanhaiguan, known as 100,000 to the outside world, in order to contain the independent 77th Division in eastern Hebei and a large number of infantry in China, and prevent them from supporting the Saibei grassland." The commander in command of this operation was Lieutenant General Tajiro, but this time His Excellency Tajiro was fighting with the 98th Cavalry Division, and so far we have not received any news that His Excellency Tajiro was captured or killed in battle. ”

"Yo Xi, as long as it's not captured, it's very good, the Kwantung Army made a big mistake this time, Han Yunhua is indeed Han Yunhua, far more difficult to deal with than ordinary Chinese officers, we have already lost this battle." Speaking of this, Okamura Ninji sighed heavily.

"Nani, Your Excellency, although the empire has suffered a great loss in the northern steppe, our forces in the Shandong region have not been devastated, how can we say that we have failed?" Umeko Yamaguchi asked, puzzled.

"Yamaguchi, although you are a good intelligence officer, but you are not a good strategic commander, the fundamental purpose of Han Yunhua's battle with the front army was not to rescue the infantry regiment that was besieged in Lu Quantun, I have already guessed this, but I did not guess that Han Yunhua's real intentions would be so many. On the one hand, he wanted to permanently fight Hebei, Beiping, Jidong, Rehe, Chahar, Suiyuan and other provinces and cities, and on the other hand, he set his sights on the Suidong region. Due to the error of strategic judgment, the empire suffered a big loss this time, hey this is the difference between a strategist and a tactician, Han Yunhua is undoubtedly an excellent strategic commander. ”

"What does this mean, Your Excellency, our Great Japanese Empire still occupies the vast majority of the rich provinces and cities in China, and at the same time controls almost all the outlets of China, and the empire is also victorious in Southeast Asia, especially half a month ago, it occupied Myitkyina, the back road of the China Expeditionary Force has been cut off, and it is only a matter of time before the more than 100,000 elites sent out by the Chinese government are destroyed, whether it is in the entire East Asia or the entire Pacific Rim Theater Empire, it occupies an absolute advantage. Whether it is Beiping or Saibei grassland, it is just a small victory in the great rout of China for the whole battle situation, and it does not help the overall situation at all, so why worry about it. Yamaguchi Umeko said.

Okamura Ninji said: "Yamaguchi, what you see is only a superficial phenomenon, not long ago the 26 countries of the Allied Powers signed a military alliance treaty against the Empire, Germany and Italy, and now all the countries of the Empire are no longer facing only one country, but dozens of countries, including China, including behemoths such as the Soviet Union and the United States. So now the empire must be cautious with every step, and if you make a mistake, you will make a mistake. Don't underestimate these defeats in North China, he is likely to trigger serious consequences that we cannot predict. ”

"Your Excellency, although there is some truth in your words, it will not necessarily happen, although the branch is becoming more and more difficult to deal with, and Han Yunhua's department is becoming more and more powerful. But the threats you just mentioned are hardly any obstacles for the Empire, and let's talk about our current greatest enemy, the United States, which now has less than 100,000 land forces, and these armies are very reluctant to protect their homeland, and it is almost impossible to send troops to land for operations. Although the U.S. Navy is strong, it has been greatly damaged after the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor by His Excellency Yamamoto, and it is not to think of regaining combat effectiveness in a short time, so the only one that can compete with the Imperial Navy in the entire Pacific Ocean is the Soviet Far East Fleet. But the state of the Soviet Union ... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ］
