Chapter 1525 The dust settled

The Japanese army retreated!

After hearing the news that the Japanese army in the Xinkou area was almost completely wiped out, the Japanese reinforcements from the south decisively chose to suspend the attack, leaving two wings in charge of the palace, and the rest of the troops quickly withdrew north. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The movements of the Japanese army were under the supervision of our air force units, and they were seen at a glance.

Lu Yixuan and Yang Jiuxiao, Qu Muchen and other generals who had converged in the north, immediately made a decision to transfer troops from various departments, concentrate ammunition and fuel, form a northbound detachment, and quickly pursue and attack the retreating Japanese army. The rest of the troops had a day's rest and then joined the pursuit of the Japanese army.

During this period, the 18th Group Army launched a wide range of operations behind enemy lines, and the 120th Division regained Jingping, Pinglu County, and Ningwu County in the northwest of Shanxi Province, captured key points such as Dongyulin, Mayi, and Daniudian on the Tongpu Road, as well as important places such as Ningwu Pass and Yanmen Pass, and destroyed a large number of bridges and railways; The Japanese transport convoys were ambushed four times in Xinzhuang in the south of Huairen, Heishigou in the south of Yanmen Pass, and Wangdongbao in the south of Yangmingbao, cutting off the Japanese army's rear supply line from Datong through Ningwu Pass and Yanmen Pass to Xinkou.

During this period, the units of the 115th Division recovered Hunyuan, Laiyuan, Guangling, Lingqiu, Weixian, Quyang, Pingshan, Tangxian, Wanxian and other county towns in the northeast of Shanxi and western Hebei and northern Chabei, captured Pingxingguan and Bauhinia Pass (evacuated after the failure of the Pingxingguan operation) and other key points, and intercepted and ambushed Fengjiagou between Guangling and Lingqiu in Xiaozhai in the northeast area of Pingxingguan, annihilated hundreds of Japanese transport troops, destroyed nearly 100 cars and hundreds of carriages, and attacked Japanese military stations and strongholds many times. Cut off the rear line of communication from Zhangjiakou to Dai County.

With the 18th Army attacking and harassing behind enemy lines and resolutely blocking them, the retreat of the Japanese army was not smooth.

Nanhua, Xinjing, the Supreme Command of the Anjia Army, the Strategic Command Center.

This command center was expanded on the basis of the former war room of the General Staff Headquarters, and in peacetime it was under the leadership of the General Staff Headquarters, and once it entered a state of war, it was upgraded to a strategic command center of the navy, army, and air force of the Supreme Command. At present, the airship radar has been deployed to the coastal and central areas of South China, and the information is directly transmitted to the command center, and after being analyzed and processed by a large electronic computer, it will be directly sent to various departments by radio waves, and the whole process will not take more than two minutes.

Hearing the news of the defeat of the Japanese army, An Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In the Battle of Xinkou, the Japanese army lost nearly 100,000 troops and a large number of strategic materials, and its air force suffered extremely heavy losses; although it is said that Ishihara Wan'er abandoned the Japanese army's consistent practice of emphasizing quality and neglecting quantity, and selected 85,000 young men from all over Japan to study in such large aviation schools as Yichang and Simao Aviation School, it still takes a certain amount of time to become talented, and it is no longer realistic to launch a new offensive in a short period of time.

And judging from the information in his hands, Ishihara Waner has repeatedly made a clamor in the base camp, once Hideki Tojo's operation to capture Shanxi against the will of the base camp fails, resulting in the loss of troops in the empire, then he does not mind sending Hideki Tojo to a military court, and then looking for the bad luck of the relevant responsible persons.

During the Battle of Xinkou, the Japanese troops on the front line of Shijiazhuang were ready to move, but the 35th Division of the Anjia Army left behind on the front line of Niangzi Pass and Jingcheng Pass gave the Japanese army a stick, and the large-caliber heavy artillery standing above Xiongguan was bombarded by a round of bombardment, which made the devil reimburse a brigade, coupled with the terrifying minefield arranged by the Anjia Army, which caused the Japanese troops of nearly a wing to be all "broken" before they could engage in battle.

"Now that the overall situation of Shanxi has been decided, the next thing is to chase and annihilate. It would be gratifying to be able to leave a few more devils, especially the generals and adjutants of the devils, but even if they escaped, it didn't matter, our strategic intention was to ensure the safety of North China, where supplies were inconvenient, so that the situation of the war would not change drastically. Our fundamental interests now lie in South China, Mongolia, and Central Asia. ”

An Yi stood in the middle of the two huge sand tables on the left and right representing North China and Kazakhstan, and explained in detail his next step:

"Especially in Central Asia, there has been a slight unexpected change in the war situation, the Soviets have taken the initiative to abandon the battlefields on the western and central fronts, and have almost transferred their troops to the northeastern region of Kazakhstan, waiting for an opportunity to find the main force of our army to fight; although under the monitoring of our air force's reconnaissance planes and airship radars, we can grasp the general movement of its troops, but the local war situation requires our commanders to make decisions on the spot.

"I have authorized Hu Jiyang and Xiao Wu to deal with and make decisions on their own according to the actual changes on the battlefield, otherwise we will make empirical mistakes if we stay away from the battlefield and blindly command out of reality."

Huang Zhi nodded: "The terrain of Central Asia is complex, with plateaus, hills, grasslands, mountains and deserts crisscrossing each other, and to the Aral Sea and the Caspian Sea in the west, there are a large number of lowland terrain below sea level. It is indeed a determination that must be made up to let the generals below exert their subjective initiative according to the actual situation. ”

At this time, Du Yi and Liu Qing walked into the command center one after another, and An Yi knew that there was something important to report at a glance, so he took the two to the small living room of the war room, sat down and asked:

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Liu Qing reported: "Those who know our route to Central Asia include the main generals of the group armies, front armies and military regions of southern Sichuan, southern Yunnan, South China and Mongolia, and the cadres of the armed police force of the Ministry of Advanced Police and the First Brigade of the General Political Department. There are 1,842 officers and colonels in the confidential personnel and communications departments.

"It seems that such a large base seems to be a big problem, but after a detailed analysis by our General Staff and General Political Department, the possibility of problems with these people is very small. We have a strict political vetting system, and the identities of almost all senior personnel and personnel in key technical departments have been double-checked and are still under a strict level of surveillance. Of course, this is not to distrust our comrades, but to exercise proper supervision that can motivate our cadres to demand themselves as national liberation fighters at all times, urging them not to be dazzled by power and money. ”

Du Yi continued Liu Qing's words: "Our national security department has been monitoring the radio waves in southern Sichuan, Xiangxi, Qianxi, southern Yunnan and Nanhua, and now it has expanded the monitoring to the whole of Mongolia, but so far, no abnormalities have been found. Therefore, I also feel that the problem of internal leaks is unlikely. It is not possible for ordinary people to take intelligence out of our control zone in a short period of time and then send it to the Soviet Union in a timely manner.

"After studying with the intelligence department of the General Staff, we agreed that the situation should still lie on the side of the Far Eastern Republic, after all, there are clues to follow in the movement of railway vehicles, the cooperation of relevant troops, and the supply of material supplies.

An Yi nodded with satisfaction: "It's good to be sure, so that we can avoid a lump in our hearts." You are professionals, and your conclusions can put an end to this matter for the time being. However, the so-called prevention of microaggressions, you have to save this matter in a file, more mindful, if there are similar doubts in the future, you can take it out and proofread it for reference, to see what has not been taken into account. In our intelligence work, we must neither wrongfully accuse a good person nor let a bad person go, and everything must be based on facts. ”

After Du Yi and Liu Qing recorded An Yi's request, Du Yi told An Yi a piece of news: "Chairman, Huang Han has been appointed by the ** Central Committee as the commander of the Ganqingning Military Region, and Li Xiaolong has been appointed as the political commissar of the Military Region...... Li Xiaolong went to Syria with our oil convoy a few days ago, quietly contacted us, opened a large purchase list, paid for it completely with the oil proceeds from the Yanqing Oilfield, and also asked us to release Shi Pufang...... It wasn't until this morning that our insider fed back the decision of the ** high-level, and we learned that Huang Han had come back again, and the official hat he was given was not small! ”

An Yi was slightly surprised, but after thinking about it, it was reasonable.

After all, at the critical moment, Huang Han led more than 17,000 Red Army officers and soldiers to join the Central Committee, which greatly enriched the strength of the Central Red Army, and made the subsequent Long March and the situation after arriving in northern Shaanxi much better than the original history.

"Shi Pufang followed Huang Han and Li Xiaolong, there should be no problem. If we protect a person, it is impossible to protect him for a lifetime, and he has to walk the road in the future...... Let Shi Pufang and Li Xiaolong leave, I won't go back to meet them, I've become more and more famous as a big capitalist and warlord leader over the years, so as not to be embarrassed when we meet...... Things are sold correctly, anyway, they use hard currency like oil to exchange with us, and we don't lose money! ”

After An Yi told Du Yi, he said to the two of them: "Your Ministry of State Security and the intelligence department of the General Staff should pay more attention to the situation in the northwest, this time Huang Han was activated is not simple, there must be deep-seated strategic and political intentions, I don't want to wait for everything to happen, you still don't know." ”

"Yes!"

After Du Yi and Liu Qing answered, they turned around and left with serious expressions.

......

At the same time as the Xinkou War was going on, the Great War in Central Asia was also in full swing.

On the way to Ust-Kamen, some of the Soviet troops who were facing our mechanized troops obviously did not understand the performance of the tanks equipped by our army, thinking that the armor of the tanks was nothing more than camouflage made of tin plates, which was used to bluff people, so the Soviet cavalry, inspired by the heroic deeds of the Soviets represented by Budyonny, which was rendered in the popular film "The First Cavalry Army" (1935 edition) in the mid-thirties, swarmed up and launched a fierce attack on our tanks with sabers and spears in their hands. The results were naturally sad.

A Soviet artillery regiment was moving from Kokpect in East Kazakhstan Province to Ust-Kamen, and on the way was caught up by a tank company of the 18th Tank Battalion of the 6th Tank Brigade of the Mechanized 2nd Army led by Major General Jingo.
