[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 1114: Dispatch to the Eastern Grasslands (Ask for subscription!) , ask for a monthly pass, ask for everything! ）

When the news came, Ma Zheng was naturally very happy, and he finally decided to fight, it was really not easy!

Since it has been decided to implement the Great Northeast Plan, the main force of the Saibei Corps and his personal main energy in the next period of time will definitely be inclined to the Northeast region. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but there is Okamura Ningji, a fierce tiger and hungry wolf, in North China, how can this reassure Ma Zheng.

Moreover, facts have proved that Okamura Ninji is not easy to provoke, and both the military discipline purge and the sweep have achieved great results, and the purge of military discipline can greatly reduce the hostility of the Chinese people towards the Japanese, and this is also an extremely vicious means of disintegrating the Chinese anti-Japanese army and people.

Needless to say, the effect of the sweep was to quickly strike at the anti-Japanese forces in the enemy-occupied areas and consolidate the rule of the Japanese puppet army.

Ma Zheng believed that with these two measures alone, the Japanese would be able to stabilize the crumbling situation in North China, and once the situation in the occupied areas was stabilized, the Japanese army would begin to expand outward again, turning those non-occupied areas into occupied areas.

However, Ma Zheng also believed that if Okamura Ninji had not been arrogant to the point that no one was in sight, he would not have made provocative moves against the Saibei Corps at this stage, but once the Japanese army in North China solved the internal problems, then the North China Front would definitely start a battle with the Saibei Corps on an unprecedented scale.

However, Ma Zheng still recognized the combat effectiveness of the army under his command, and no matter how the situation in North China changed, Ma Zheng still decided to take action against the Japanese puppet army in the northeast.

In order to do his best to transfer combat troops to the east, Ma Zheng sent a telegram to the central authorities, hoping that the North China Corps would take over the defense of Tianjin and northwest Shandong, and that Yang Chengwu, Xu Hu, and Liu Fengchi's troops would be withdrawn.

The central authorities did not have any problem with this, and immediately called the headquarters of the North China Corps, asking them to immediately organize a large army to go south and take over the defense area left by Ma Zheng's department.

However, just in case, the central government asked Ma Zheng's department to leave at least three main divisions in the Pingjin area, so as not to be exploited by Okamura Ningji.

On September 10, after Ma Zheng returned from Chengde to Guisui, he immediately convened a military and political meeting and made the decision to send troops to the northeast.

However, if you want to seize the northeast, the premise of implementing the entire plan is to take the eastern grassland, that is, the grassland from the paddock in the south, Chifeng in the west, Hulunbuir in the north, and Xing'an League in the east.

Although Ma Zheng's troops sent troops to the Suidong Prairie many times and fought several times with the Japanese Kwantung Army, they still did not hold this place in the end.

Now in addition to Chifeng, places such as Tongliao, Naiman, Horqin Left Banner, and Right Banner are still in the hands of the Japanese, and Hulunbuir and Xing'an League in the north are completely controlled by the Japanese puppet army, which is the first problem in front of Ma Zheng.

Originally, Ma Zheng didn't plan to implement the Great Northeast strategy so quickly, but after inspecting the Northeast this time, he felt that the time was almost up. After the blows of Ma Desheng and others in the past two years, although the rule of the Japanese puppet army in the northeast is as strong as an iron bucket, its control over the eastern grasslands is not as good as before.

Coupled with the blow of the special combat team sent by Ma Zheng before, it was equivalent to driving a big nail in the heart of the enemy, which made the Japanese puppet army miserable, so Ma Zheng decided to make a move on the eastern grassland first.

If we want to say that the Kwantung Army is the strongest of these front armies of the Japanese invasion of China, this is not only because the Kwantung Army has the largest number of soldiers, but also because the Kwantung Army can be in a transcendent position among all the Japanese forces invading China.

This is mainly due to the "brilliant" achievements of the Kwantung Army, at the time of the September 18 Incident, the Kwantung Army with more than 20,000 men captured the entire northeast region in less than a year, and the territory area obtained was more than three times that of the Japanese mainland.

In addition, most of the divisions and regiments of the Japanese army under the jurisdiction of the Kwantung Army are the top 20 permanent divisions of the Japanese army, and their combat effectiveness is very strong, and the quality of their soldiers is not much worse than that of the first batch of Japanese troops invading China after the Lugou Bridge Incident in 37, so the Kwantung Army has always been like a sharp sword hanging over Ma Zheng's head.

Since Ma Zheng raised troops to resist the Japanese in Chanan in 37, he was not afraid of the Japanese army in the pass, but he always had a worry, that is, he was afraid that because of his appearance, the Kwantung Army would enter the pass in a big way, and the problem would be serious.

To tell the truth, if Japan had not turned its guns on the Soviet Union and concentrated its forces on China, it would have been possible to defeat the whole of China with the strength of the Kwantung Army and the Chinese Dispatch Army.

You must know that in the original history, the reason why the Mongolian army was not able to attack Shaanxi and Ningxia from Suixi was entirely because Fu Zuoyi's troops withstood the attack of the Mongolian army. If the Kwantung Army had been able to send one or two divisions to the west at that time, I am afraid that with the combat strength of the Jin Sui Army, it would have been possible to escape, and then the troops stationed in Mongolia would have directly captured northern Shaanxi or Ningxia and strategically completed the encirclement of the Nationalist Government, then the outcome of the War of Resistance might have been a different story.

Fortunately, the Japanese were far more ambitious than Ma Zheng had imagined, and they wanted not only the millions of square kilometers of land in China, but also all the territory east of Siberia in the Soviet Union.

At will, although Ma Zheng's troops made a lot of trouble in the pass, and even hit the Suidong prairie for a time, the Kwantung Army still had no intention of entering the customs to fight. Even if troops are sent into the customs, they are only one or two divisions, and there is not much change in the battle situation.

Now six years have passed, and the number of troops under Ma Zheng's command has grown from more than 100 people at the beginning to more than 800,000 now. With the continuous expansion of strength, Ma Zheng no longer looked down on the Japanese army in the pass, especially the North China Front Army directly under the guns of Ma Zheng's department.

If you want to say whether Ma Zheng's department has the strength to completely annihilate the North China Front, if Ma Zheng himself wants to say it, then there must be. You must know that at present, all the combat units of the Northern Saibei Corps add up to no less than 800,000, including more than 600,000 infantry, more than 50,000 cavalry, and more than 100,000 other technical arms, which includes almost all the current technical arms.

Especially in terms of aviation, armor and artillery, Ma Zheng's unit was no worse than the Japanese army, and even stronger. Because Ma Zheng, who came from later generations, was well aware of the impact of these technical arms on the war situation, he had his own artillery and special forces at the beginning of the establishment of the army.

And what does the North China Front have? Although Okamura Ninji claimed to have an army of 500,000 to the outside world, the real Japanese army was only 2780,000 when it was fully defeated, and the rest were all indiscriminate puppet troops and local police.

Besides, the small 300,000 Japanese troops, don't compare the current Japanese army with the Japanese army in 37 years, the current Japanese army has long been lost in the elite. In particular, most of the Japanese recruits on the battlefield in North China were hastily sent to the battlefield after half a year of training, and their survivability on the battlefield may not be comparable to that of Ma Zheng's recruits.

So now if Ma Zheng's department really wants to destroy the North China Front, it will not be a big problem, at most it will be more casualties. But casualties are nothing at all for a general like Ma Zheng.

As the old saying goes, Ci is not in charge of the soldiers, since he is in charge of the soldiers, then don't affect your judgment because of casualties.

The reason why Ma Zheng did not completely fight the final battle of the North China Front Army was because Ma Zheng felt that it was useful to keep this Japanese army, otherwise how could the dozen or so divisions of the North China Front Army be the opponent of the North China Front Corps.

Saying that it is still useful to leave the North China Front Army, perhaps many people do not know very well, and many people think that since it is an anti-Japanese war, how can there be any reason to keep the Japanese from fighting.

In fact, it is really useful to leave the Japanese army, think about it, if Ma Zheng's department now concentrates on annihilating the North China Front, what kind of scene will it be.

Maybe the common people will sing and dance, they will celebrate, and even regard Ma Zheng as China's most meritorious anti-Japanese hero. But what will the Japanese think, and what will the Nationalist Government think?

The Japanese must hate Ma Zheng to the core, this is nothing, anyway, the relationship between the two sides has become like this, Ma Zheng is really not afraid that the Japanese will hate him.

He was worried that the Japanese would take some special actions, and if Ma Zheng wiped out the North China Front, the Japanese would have two methods, the first was to concentrate their firepower against China, not only the Kwantung Army would enter the pass, but also the troops preparing to go south against the United States and Britain and other countries would also be mobilized to the Chinese battlefield.

The second approach was to withdraw troops from the Chinese battlefield, with the exception of the Kwantung Army. All the invading Japanese troops will withdraw to Japan, and the situation will return to the way it was before the Lugou Bridge Incident in 37.

Neither of these two approaches is what Ma Zheng wants to see, the first one goes without saying, if Japan desperately wants to fight to the end with China, if there is no help from the United States and Britain and other countries, it is still unknown whether China can persevere.

If the Japanese were willing to make peace with the United States, the Soviet Union, and Britain alone, then China would be in a troubled situation, and although it was not necessarily certain that it would be defeated, it would be wishful thinking to conclude a quick war before 45 years.

The second possibility is not necessarily a good thing for Ma Zheng, although the war situation has returned to the way it was 37 years ago, but peace is still far away for China. At this time, there were two kinds of contradictions in China that dominated China's political trend, namely, national contradictions and class contradictions.

The national contradiction is the contradiction between the Chinese nation and the Yamato nation, and the class contradiction refers to the contradiction between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie. As far as the present situation is concerned, it is the national contradictions that prevail, so the class contradictions have eased slightly, and the Kuomintang and the Communist Party have joined hands to resist Japan, and the muzzles of the guns are also unanimous to the outside world.

However, if Japan withdraws its troops from China, then the national contradiction will become a secondary contradiction, the class contradiction will become the main contradiction in Chinese society, and the civil war will break out again.

Therefore, it is necessary to keep the North China Front, only by keeping them can the whole world situation be chaotic, and Ma Zheng will have a chance to achieve his goal.
