On April 15, under Ma Zheng's order, the Korean People's Liberation Army rushed to the front line to fight in the DPRK. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Before leaving, Ma Zheng gave an order to Wu Ting, commander-in-chief of the Korean People's Liberation Army, that their army did not need to shoulder the combat mission of frontal attack, and was only responsible for guerrilla operations in Korea.
Ma Zheng knows very well the combat effectiveness of this army, although the weapons and equipment are not bad, but there are too many peasants in it, and the time to join the army is too short, and it is not possible to fight a big battle.
However, just like the Eighth Route Army, although the frontal battlefield is not powerful, guerrilla warfare can be powerful.
Moreover, Wu Ting himself was the only Korean who had walked the Long March, and he himself was one of the founders of the Chinese artillery unit, and he had been leading guerrilla operations in the Taihang Mountains before coming to Northeast China, and he was very experienced in guerrilla warfare. Ma Zheng believed that under his command, this army would definitely be able to greatly contain the strength of the Japanese army.
Although the fighting in the northeast region has not completely ended, the focus of Ma Zheng's work has shifted from commanding operations to receiving territory and organizing production.
At the same time, because he was busy fighting the Japanese during this time, the bandit Silk Cloth in the mountains and forests of the Northeast also began to become active. Ma Zheng himself hated these bandit troops, and ordered the armed forces in various places to resolutely exterminate them.
Although the Japanese retreated, what was left to Ma Zheng was a mess, the entire northeast region was full of broken walls, city defense facilities, traffic roads were seriously damaged, and bridges in many places were blown up when the Japanese puppet army retreated, which must be repaired as soon as possible, in addition to the turtle shell of Harbin that needs to be solved.
The three northeastern provinces are definitely a piece of fat, the industrial system here is perfect, the agriculture is also extremely developed, and the cities are lined with a large population, accounting for the northeast Ma Zheng can enjoy the ambition in the hearts of the soldiers.
Although the fighting on the front line still did not subside, the Japanese army in Harbin was still resisting stubbornly. However, Ma Zheng ordered the defenders in various places to immediately count the large enterprises and factories in various places, and those who could resume production should resume as soon as possible, especially the military industrial enterprises.
At the same time, Ma Zheng also inspected the Fengtian Arsenal, although the Fengtian Arsenal was destroyed by the Japanese when they left, and most of the equipment was either dismantled and transported by the Japanese or buried on the spot, but Ma Zheng still ordered the troops to repair it, and looked for insiders to search for the whereabouts of the equipment.
At the same time, it also asked the Soviet Union for help, hoping that the Soviet Union could reinforce a batch of weapons production lines.
In the Battle of the Northeast, it was the Japanese who suffered the most, and the biggest beneficiary was Yan'an, and there was no one who was the most angry than Lao Jiang.
The development of the border government had been out of his control, and Ma Zheng's strong rise not only completely changed the situation of the war between China and Japan, but also changed the balance of power between Yan'an and the Nationalist government.
Although the Nationalist Government still has nearly 3.5 million troops, the current CCP is not inferior to the Nationalist Government at all, and in terms of the combat effectiveness of the troops, Lao Chiang is confident that he does not dare to compete with the Japanese Kwantung Army, which means that the current strength of the CCP may have completely surpassed that of the Nationalist Government.
Now from Alxa in the west, to the Bohai Sea in the east, from the Mongolian steppe in the north, to the Jizhong Plain in the south, the seven provinces of Heilongjiang, Gulin, Liaoning, Rehe, Suiyuan, Chahar, and Hebei have completely become the territory of the CCP.
Fortunately, Xue Yue can also be regarded as a competitive spirit, following the Third Battle of Changsha, Xue Yue commanded the troops of the Ninth Theater to launch a counterattack against the Japanese dispatch army, and the troops have won successive battles, and now the Japanese have been completely driven out of Hunan.
In addition, the Allied forces also achieved good results on the battlefield in Burma, and the Yunnan Provincial Government was also good, Chairman Long Yun commanded 250,000 troops to recover Tengchong and other places, and completely drove the Japanese out of Yunnan Province.
The good news kept coming, and the old Jiang, who had been entangled for a long time, finally got a little comfort. However, whenever I think of him, Jiang someone lightly gave up the Northeast competition for more than ten years, and it fell into the hands of the CCP, which made Lao Jiang think how unbalanced.
Moreover, now Ma Zheng's department has almost developed a habit, that is, all Japanese theaters have become the objects of their contention, and for every Japanese puppet army annihilated, a city or region falls into the hands of the CCP.
If Lao Chiang did not want the CCP to develop, he had to occupy the territory in advance, forcing Lao Chiang to have to increase his troops to the front line, and at the same time strictly ordered the troops in various places to immediately formulate corresponding battle plans, and then launch an attack on the Japanese puppet army in the area under his jurisdiction to seize the territory
In fact, Lao Jiang didn't know that this was the most powerful part of Ma Zheng's formulation of forcing Jiang to resist Japan. If Lao Chiang does not want the CCP to develop too quickly, he must grab territory from the Japanese himself, and if he grabs territory, he must fight with the Japanese and make enemies, so that even if the Japanese have the intention to release water, it will not work.
In general, during this period, both Yan'an and the Nationalist Government have recovered a lot of territory, and at the same time, they have also won many battles, which has impressed the international community.
Lao Chiang took the opportunity to ask President Roosevelt for a loan of $1 billion, perhaps because the Nationalist Government had done well during this period, or because of some other factors, Lao Chiang's request was quickly granted.
All in all, the situation on the battlefield in China as a whole at this time is very good, and there is a great chance of recovering lost ground and carrying out a major strategic counteroffensive.
On April 18, after being besieged for a whole month and a half, the Qingshui Regular Office finally could not hold on, and in the morning Yang Chengwu's headquarters broke through the Japanese army's fortifications, and the battle extended into the urban area of Harbin.
Because the ammunition of the Japanese army had been exhausted two days earlier, although the Japanese who lacked ammunition also put up stubborn resistance, but they were too restricted, and finally the city gate was breached, and when it was more than 11 o'clock in the afternoon, the remaining 50,000 Japanese troops in the city finally collapsed completely.
At about 6 o'clock in the afternoon, Lieutenant General Qing Shui, who was completely desperate, ordered more than 13,000 Japanese troops trapped in the vicinity of the Harbin Radio and Television Building to surrender to the Saibei Corps.
Only two days later, the southeast front came with good news, Wu Xiuda's division and the remnants of the Kwantung Army in Fengcheng after three days of hard fighting finally took Fengcheng, the front of the army pointed directly at Dandong, once Dandong was taken, the army could be across the river with the Japanese army, and also won the initiative in the war against Korea.
On April 22, 1944, Ma Zheng, as the commander of the Saibei Corps, announced to the world the news of the defeat of the Japanese Kwantung Army and its withdrawal from China, in which Ma Zheng showed the world the combat effectiveness of China's national defense forces.
During this period, millions of troops fought thousands of miles in Northeast China, recovering 144 large and small cities in Northeast China, eliminating 840,000 Japanese puppet troops, and the total number of Japanese puppet troops fleeing to Korea was less than 300,000, and the Kwantung Army, which claimed to be one million elites, was basically wiped out.
After the circular was issued, the Nationalist Government, the Soviet Government, and the United States Government immediately sent congratulatory telegrams, followed by Britain, Free France, and other countries on the Western Front to celebrate the major victory of the Chinese people.
The entire liberated areas and the nationalized areas controlled by the Nationalist Government were in a state of joy for a time, while the Japanese and Japanese-controlled enemy-occupied areas were in mourning and lifeless.
When the news of the disastrous defeat of the Kwantung Army came back home, the Japanese people were shocked, and in their minds, the Kwantung Army represented victory, and they were synonymous with invincibility and invincibility.
Although the Japanese government still wanted to cover up the defeat, due to the vigorous propaganda of the Northern Saibei Corps and the Allied forces, the Japanese government could not stop Youyou's mouth at all.
The Japanese people demanded that the government immediately deal with the stupid guy Yamada Otozo and replace it with a more capable general who went to Korea to clean up the situation. However, many more people attributed the failure of the war to the government's mistakes, and the cabinet should be held responsible, and for a time the whole of Japan was in turmoil.
On April 27, under domestic pressure, the Japanese emperor made a decision to resign the Tojo cabinet and form a cabinet with Army General Kuniaki Koiso as prime minister.
The successive defeats made the Japanese government realize that it was necessary to have a strong army general as prime minister, but there were indeed many qualified army generals, but not many were able to escape.
Emperor Hirohito and the Ministry of Military Affairs turned over the army generals, and found that those with prestige and ability could not get away from the front line, and Koiso Kuniaki actually worked in the General Staff Headquarters and the Ministry of War more than 10 years ago, and served as the Minister of Extension for two terms after retiring.
At the same time, the Japanese army headquarters made a decision and ordered General Yamada Otozo to immediately return to China to report on his work, and at the same time, Army General Nobuyuki Abe immediately went to Korea to serve as the ninth governor of Korea and commander of the Kwantung Army, responsible for all military and political affairs on the Korean front.
