With Ma Zheng's order, the entire northern part of China suddenly became lively, and in addition to southern Hebei, Jinzhong, Chanan, Rebei and the eastern grasslands were all fighting. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Ma Zheng's department became serious, and the Japanese puppet army began to suffer, and the first to be beaten was the department of King De.

Since being driven out of Xilinhot by Ma Zheng's subordinates, King De took Li Shouxin and others to flee to the Keshiketeng Banner on the eastern steppe, and attached themselves to the Japanese army in Chifeng City.

With the support of the Japanese, coupled with the favorable conditions of being a Mongol prince, in less than a year, King De, who was about to become a bare-bones commander, once again raised a very considerable number of troops.

The name of King De's department is still the Mongolian army, and the commander is still Li Shouxin. Compared with the previous strength of ten divisions, the current puppet Mongolian army has only five cavalry divisions with less than 18,000 troops, plus the 3,000-person personal guard under King De's account, the total strength is more than 21,000 people, almost half of the puppet Mongolian army in its heyday.

Although you have a lot of soldiers, but because of the repeated blows by Ma Zheng's troops, King De and the entire puppet Mongolian army have become a lot more obedient. In addition to the frequent contacts with the Japanese army, both the style of conduct and other aspects have changed greatly.

However, the news from within the puppet Mongol army said that due to some unknown reasons, there seemed to be a rift between King De and the Japanese, and the relationship between the two sides was not as harmonious as it seemed, and even a small team leader of the puppet Mongol army assassinated a Japanese adviser not long ago.

In fact, there is nothing incomprehensible when you think about it, and it is not out of the way that King Toku's fall to the Japanese, but for the sake of pursuing profits. But the problem now is that since following the master of Japan, King De has been repeatedly deflated by Ma Zheng, not only losing the holy city that he had managed to get his hands on, but even taking a Xilinhot and tens of thousands of troops that were hard to pull up.

More importantly, when the Japanese used them, they said very well, and there was no problem with the number of troops and weapons and equipment, but when the mountains and rivers were exhausted, the Japanese were not as good as they had said before, and they only gave them 15,000 long and short guns and less than 200 light and heavy machine guns for more than a year, and as for artillery, all five divisions were only 40 small steel guns, which were not as good as the artillery of a brigade of the Japanese army.

In addition, King De's department is under pressure from Ma Zheng's department all the time, which makes King De's psychological field change dramatically. Originally, he thought that the Japanese were invincible, but now it seems that the Japanese are not invincible.

This person's heart is the most elusive, and if the person's heart changes, then the rest is not easy to say. It is precisely because he clearly saw the strength of the Japanese that although King De still maintained close contacts with the Japanese during this time, the actual relationship between the two sides has faded a lot.

The Japanese were also aware of this, but they were also powerless about it, and they did not think about "replacement" and replaced Li Shouxin with their spokesperson in the Saibei grassland, but in the end they still did not implement the "substitution" plan. On the one hand, it is because King De still has a certain prestige in the hearts of the Mongols, which is not something that Li Shouxin can replace.

At the same time, the strength of King De itself is also very important, although the puppet Mongolian army is commanded by Li Shouxin, but in fact it obeys the orders of King De, and the more than 20,000 cavalry is still very deterrent.

In addition, the current war in the entire north is tight, and the situation on the Suidong prairie is also changing, and a bad one is likely to push King De to Ma Zheng's department, which is not what the Japanese army wants to see. In order to be safe, the Japanese army still made contact with King De and sent a large amount of aid to King De.

But even so, King De is much more careful than before this time, glory and wealth are important, but you have to have a life to enjoy it. If you can't recognize how many catties and taels you have, you can't be sure that Ma Zheng's killing god will suddenly fall from the sky that day. Just like the last time, he was shouted in his sleep, if Li Shouxin still had a conscience and didn't leave him alone, otherwise he really couldn't say what kind of state of existence he would be in now.

King De's "performance" Ma Zheng naturally saw it in his eyes, but while the iron was hot, since King De had the intention of repenting, then Ma Zheng didn't mind putting a little more pressure on him.

This time, the cavalry division advanced eastward, and Ma Zheng's meaning was very clear, he wanted to eliminate all Japanese forces in the eastern steppe. However, the eastern steppe is different from that of Chanan and Chabei, and it has always been the traditional sphere of influence of the Mongols. Moreover, this place is close to the northeast, even if Ma Zheng's subordinates captured all these places, it is impossible to send people to garrison these places all the time.

Because if one is not good, it is possible to provoke the behemoth of the Japanese Kwantung Army, and if the Kwantung Army is allowed to enter the customs in a big way, the consequences will be serious. You must know that the Kwantung Army did not enter the customs on a large scale in the eight years of the Anti-Japanese War in history, if the Kwantung Army entered the customs because of his reasons, Ma Zheng really didn't know where he would take this war.

Therefore, Ma Zheng did not plan to send a large army to garrison the eastern steppe, so in the end, the steppe still needs a real Mongol to manage, as long as King De behaves well, then Ma Zheng does not mind handing over the eastern steppe to him to manage, of course, with the current trend, King De is still far from the requirements of this manager.

The battle of the Suicha Military Region to attack the Keshiketeng Banner has entered the countdown, but as the supreme commander of this battle, Ma Desheng is not worried at all, and he already knows the outcome of this battle.

Of course, Ma Zheng has nothing to worry about, this time the troops led by Ma Desheng are the most elite cavalry of the Suicha Military Region, and it is really useless to deal with those cavalry with poor equipment, backward tactics, and weak fighting will against King De's department.

After more than two days of rapid marching, the cavalry division led by Ma Desheng finally arrived at the town of Dalenori, more than 80 kilometers away from the Keshiketeng Banner.

At this time, because it was already very close to the Keshiketeng Banner, the surrounding Mongolian herdsmen gradually began to increase, and it was impossible to keep it secret, so Ma Desheng had to order the cavalry troops to expand the scope of reconnaissance as much as possible, avoid those Mongolian tribes and tribes, and the army kept going straight to the Keshiketeng Banner.

At the same time, the Second Integrated Division, the artillery brigade directly under the military region, and other units fighting on the front line in Xuanhua also launched an attack on the Japanese puppet army in Chicheng, Xuanhua, and other places under the command of Yang Chengwu.

As the main force of Ma Zheng's war, the burden of Yang Chengwu's department was really not light, although they did not have a specific occupation task, but they had to create conditions for several other battlefields, and attract all the main forces of the Japanese North China Front to the Xuanhua front. That is to say, they have to face the frantic attack of the vast majority of the troops of the North China Front, and the enemy's strength may be 50,000 or 60,000, or more than 100,000, and the pressure can be imagined.

In fact, this was indeed the case, on the first day of the war, less than an hour after the start of the battle, the two sides entered a white-hot situation, and the Japanese not only dispatched planes and tanks, but even the precious heavy artillery units were also used. The artillery brigade directly under the military region opened fire at all levels, and even the rocket artillery, which had always been secretive, was brought out.

In less than an hour of fighting, there were heavy casualties between the two sides, which was not something that Ma Zheng and General Sugiyama could have predicted. In Ma Zheng's thoughts, the battle of the destruction of the entire company would definitely occur, but it would definitely not appear on the first day.

Senior General Sugiyama also did not expect such a fierce attack in the Suicha Military Region, and as the highest military commander of the Japanese army in North China, Senior General Sugiyama Moto's strategic level was still very superb. From the very beginning, he knew that the Eighth Route Army in southern Hebei was just a cover, a smoke bomb and a trick, and Ma Zheng's killing tactics were in the north, so he placed nearly 70,000 elite Japanese troops in the four elite divisions of the North China Front Army in the Xuanhua area from the very beginning, so there was a tragic battle between Wang and Wang at the beginning of the battle.
