[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 859: The Possibility of the Kwantung Army Entering the Customs (Ask for Subscription!) , ask for a monthly pass, ask for everything! ）

Ma Zheng's words made Luo Ronghuan and the others fall into deep thought, and after thinking about it carefully, they felt that Ma Zheng's judgment was very likely to happen. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After all, Lao Luo has been a military and political chief who has been a senior cadre since the Long March, and he has a natural sense of combat. He stared at the map, and then said: "If we want to know if the Japanese army really wants to fight our army, we only need to look at the distribution of the Japanese army's strength at this time!" At the beginning of the year, the Japanese army suffered heavy losses, with a total of more than 100,000 casualties, and if the Japanese army did not replenish its forces as soon as possible, it would be difficult for it to compete with our military region again. Now that the Japanese reinforcements have arrived and formed a combat effectiveness, then the Japanese army is coming at us this time. ”

"In the past few months, every once in a while, quite a few Japanese troop carriers have landed in Tianjin or Qingdao, and our scout is a staff member of the port of Tianjin, who has personally recognized the numbers of at least four divisions and regiments, as well as some troop numbers that he does not recognize. It is estimated that the Japanese army has at least five C-class divisions to reinforce this time, and there are even some technical units that we don't know. And for so long, they must have formed combat effectiveness! Chief of Staff Xu said in a deep voice.

"Then we can basically conclude that the Japanese army is preparing to have another main decisive battle with our military region this time, then we must plan early, don't let the **** beat us by surprise." Mo Shaoyan, the new director of the Political Department, said with some concern.

Political Commissar Luo also opened his mouth and asked: "Commander, if the Japanese army attacks our military region with all its strength this time, we have a few chances of victory!" I just came to the military region, and I don't know much about some things, especially the soldiers who have just been turned from puppet soldiers and prisoners to the battle. ”

Ma Zheng thought for a while and said: "Although our army won the victory in the last war, its own casualties were not small, after a period of reorganization, the Suicha Military Region now has a total of 5 infantry divisions and 8 independent brigades, plus armored divisions, cavalry divisions, artillery brigades, engineer brigades and other directly subordinate troops, the regular force that can be mobilized is about 230,000 people. ”

"In addition, after half a year of recuperation, more than 7,000 wounded have regained their combat effectiveness one after another, and these wounded are all elites who have experienced a hundred battles and seen blood, so I am ready to reorganize these wounded into two reinforced regiments, which will be under the direct jurisdiction of the headquarters of the military region. In addition, there are more than 100 local garrison regiments in our military region, which add up to about 150,000 people, so that even if we don't count those few people in the Shandong Military Region, our army can use about 380,000 troops. ”

Then Ma Zheng continued to analyze: "Although we are not very clear about the strength of the North China Front, it will not exceed 350,000 people, and if you add the puppet army, its total strength should be more than 500,000 people. In terms of troop strength, we will definitely suffer a loss, but don't forget that the territory controlled by the Japanese army is much larger than ours, and the burden is much heavier than that of our military region. ”

"What's more, we also have the support of other troops of the Eighth Route Army, and we are also assisting in the First and Second War Zones of the Nationalist Government, so if the Japanese army really has another decisive battle with our army, its chance of victory is less than four layers. Of course, this is just to say that our military region is against the enemy's North China Front, and if the Japanese army orders the Kwantung Army to attack our military region together with the North China Front, then our chances of victory will be less than four layers, or even lower. ”

"The Kwantung Army is mainly used to monitor the Soviet Union and the puppet Manchuria, and it simply does not have the energy to go south to fight our army, so I think there is little chance that the Kwantung Army and the North China Front will besiege our army." Xu Yinghui analyzed.

"I don't think so, at this time, the Japanese army in North China has been almost forced into a desperate situation by our army, and it is not bad that the Kwantung Army is mainly dealing with the Soviet Union, but if even our China can't solve it, how dare the Japanese army provoke the behemoth of the Soviet Union? We can fully see that the hundreds of thousands of Kwantung Army are only used to deter the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation, which is a waste of resources. ”

Then Ma Zheng continued: "Obviously, the Japanese base camp has also realized this problem, so it will frequently order the Kwantung Army to send small troops south to fight with the North China Front, from a wing at the beginning to a brigade later, and then to a division now. However, no matter how many Japanese troops come, they are all chickens and dogs in front of our military region, and several successive blows have made the entire Kwantung Army very faceless, and even field divisions such as the Second Division, the Fourth Division, and the 12th Division have been wiped out by our army, so our military region is also very famous in the entire Kwantung Army, and people are eager to eat our flesh and skin us, so I think the possibility of the Kwantung Army going south is not small, so we must not take it lightly. ”

Although it is true that the Kwantung Army did not conduct large-scale operations in history, history has changed so much now. The most important thing is that the Mongolian garrison formed by part of the Kwantung Army in history was wiped out by Ma Zheng, which will inevitably greatly increase the probability of the Kwantung Army entering the customs. You must know that the army stationed in Mongolia is not only to control the Mongolian region, but also to protect the flank positions of the Kwantung Army.

And this is particularly important, according to the post-war Japanese base camp of the war history, at the end of 1935 the Japanese army occupied Zhangbei, from 1939 the Japanese army began to camp on the Yehuling line between Zhangbei County and Zhangjiakou, in order to cooperate with the Kwantung Army to defend the Soviet-Mongolian coalition army.

According to the record in the "North China Public Security Campaign", the Japanese army demanded that "the troops stationed in Mongolia should mainly secure the important places in the Yinshan Mountains near Zhangbei to cover the flanks of the Kwantung Army, and begin to build part of the field fortifications, which will be strengthened year by year." ”

In 1943, the invading Japanese army obtained the consent of the base camp and made the following arrangements in late November: Changing the Yinshan Mountains to the main line of resistance, making the best use of the terrain and planning a protracted battle.

By August 1945, when the Soviet army sent troops, the Japanese army built a permanent fortification of about 300 kilometers long with a point line combined with a ring, more than 200 light and dark pillboxes, and there were open trenches and dark ditches between the pillboxes, and a battle defense trench with a width of 5 meters and a depth of 4 meters was also built on the front of the north side of the position. The trench is equipped with barbed wire, and complex minefields are set up in front and behind the barbed wire.

But now that the army stationed in Mongolia has been established in history, it has been directly thrown into the garbage heap of history by Ma Zheng's department, and even the notorious commander of the army stationed in Mongolia has become a pile of loess and white bones, so the Kwantung Army has completely lost the protection of the flank position, and it is not impossible for the Kwantung Army to enter the customs in this situation, which is also the reason why the Kwantung Army has been attacking frequently recently.

"Lao Luo, it is very important for us that the Kwantung Army does not fight in the south, and the improvement of our own strength is even more important, so I think we will try to gain time now, if there is more than a month, even if I am attacked by the Japanese army from the north and south, I am confident and sure to retreat, so that the little devil will return in vain." Ma Zheng said.

"Well, it is not impossible to win a month, as long as the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army helps to hold back the Japanese army, and then we order the Shandong Military Region to cooperate with the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army to carry out a diversion battle, I believe that it will not be a problem to contain the North China Front for more than a month. Without the cooperation of the North China Front, I think the Kwantung Army would not have directly exchanged fire with our army, after all, the Soviet Union at this time also stationed many troops in the Far East. ”

"In the eyes of the Japanese, we and the Soviet Union are one, and if we are not fully sure, the Japanese army will not use the Kwantung Army to destroy us at will. However, with the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, it can deal with the Japanese army for a month at most, of course, this is only to ensure that the casualties are as small as possible, if you fight for the casualties of a division, it will be no problem to contain the Japanese army for half a year. But what are we going to do in a month? ”

Lao Luo was very worried that Ma Zheng would dare to compete with the Japanese Kwantung Army and the North China Front Army with the strength of only one military region, but Ma Zheng's previous records were too brilliant, and every battle was so classic, so that he, a veteran who had been in battle for a long time, could not see Ma Zheng's reality clearly.
