[The Iron Blood King of the Anti-Japanese Army] Chapter 837: The Withdrawal of Troops on All Fronts and the "Japan-Thailand Agreement" (Ask for subscription!) , ask for a monthly pass, ask for everything! ）

To be honest, Ma Zheng could command the troops to go south alone and complete the established battle plan, but the risk was not small. The most important thing www.biquge.info most important is that if the Nationalist Government had not been on the side to lead the war, even if he could have surrounded the First Army stationed in Shanxi, the outcome would have been difficult to predict.

After all, while he surrounded the Japanese army, he was also likely to encounter the Japanese army's east-west attack, and it was really not certain who would die at that time.

In addition, now that the Suicha Military Region has just completed its reorganization, and the troops have just completed replenishment, they have not yet formed combat effectiveness, so they are not ready for a decisive battle with the Japanese army at this time, so Ma Zheng really doesn't know what to do next.

However, just when Ma Zheng was entangled, the Hidden Dragon Squadron sent an urgent telegram from Tianjin, and nearly four divisions of Japanese troops landed in Tianjin Port last night, and there were troops arriving later.

After receiving the telegram from the Hidden Dragon Clan, Ma Zheng was naturally taken aback, although the strength of the four divisions was not very large, but they added up to at least 60,000 people. With the addition of these 60,000 fresh troops, the mobile forces in Okamura Ningji's hands suddenly became abundant, and it would be difficult for him to be caught off guard if he wanted to fight this **** again.

After thinking about it, Ma Zheng still decided to terminate this battle plan.

Ma Zheng was a simple person, since he decided to withdraw his troops, he would no longer procrastinate, and immediately ordered the troops on the front line to immediately cover each other, and then withdraw from the battle.

After learning that the Eighth Route Army had withdrawn, Okamura Ninji was in disbelief at first, and then he knew that the Eighth Route Army had already known the news of the arrival of their reinforcements, and while admiring the pervasiveness of the Eighth Route Army's intelligence department, Okamura Ninji was also relieved.

After all, no one knows the North China Front at this time better than him, and with the strength and morale of the front army at this time, it is really not suitable for large-scale operations, so the withdrawal of Ma Zheng's troops is really a good thing for them. Because of this, Okamura Ninji did not order the troops to pursue.

However, the Japanese army on the Changsha front line did not have such good luck, after Xue Yue learned that the Japanese 6th Division had retreated to the north, he knew that the Japanese army had begun to retreat and would not attack Changsha again. While admiring the alertness of the little devil, Xue Yue immediately ordered the troops to pursue the Japanese army.

In Xue Yue's opinion, although the Japanese army withdrew in time to avoid the danger of annihilation, this group of bitches still got most of their bodies into their pockets, so Xue Yue launched a general attack order, and after receiving the order of the Ninth Theater Command, the Kuomintang troops on the front line attacked from all sides!

Seeing that the Ninth Theater had been attacked from all sides, Ananwei had no choice but to issue a general retreat order on April 27.

After receiving this order, the Japanese troops on the front line, which were already exhausted, immediately retreated in a flock.

But it began to break through too deeply, and it was not easy to retreat now. During the retreat, the Japanese army was attacked from all sides by the 9th and 5th theaters, and suffered heavy casualties. In particular, the small garrison troops scattered all over the place were almost swept away by ****.

Under the fierce attack of the Ninth Theater, the Japanese troops staggered and retreated across the Miluo River on May 1. The Japanese army on the left flank could not retreat, so they had to retreat from Dongting Lake to Yueyang in a hurry.

At this time, there was already a certain degree of confusion in the various units of the Japanese army, but the headquarters of the 11th Army was hiding its ears and stealing the bell, and at this time it claimed that the combat objectives had been achieved, and the battle was all over. In fact, at this time, most of the Japanese army was still running wolf and pig, and did not retreat across the Xinqiang River.

In this pursuit, the Japanese suffered thousands of casualties, plus more than 10,000 casualties in the previous battle, the casualties in this battle were as high as 20,000. The Kuomintang suffered more than 30,000 casualties, which was larger than that of the Japanese army, but this casualty ratio was quite ideal given the huge gap in weapons and equipment between the two sides. As for the Japanese army's claim after the war that it only killed 850 people and wounded 2,700 people, it is not surprising that it is a devil's unique nonsense.

Before the war, the Japanese army declared that it would definitely occupy Changsha, so at the beginning of the attack, there was no consideration of retreat, and there was no preparation for retreat. During this retreat, although the Japanese army remained largely unchanged due to its good quality, it was very embarrassed due to being ambushed and pursued on all sides and running out of supplies. Therefore, the Battle of Changsha was a victory both strategically and tactically.

Strategically, the Nationalist Government used the method of luring the enemy to go deep and resisting one by one, which led to the gradual depletion of the Japanese army's combat effectiveness, and finally failed to achieve the goal of annihilating the **** main force of the Ninth Theater of Operations, nor did it achieve the goal of occupying Changsha, and accepted the complete defeat.

Although in the end, because Ananwei reacted relatively quickly, he did not enter the Changsha area and was not completely defeated by the reserves of the six divisions of the Ninth Theater, but he also suffered great losses and was a big defeat.

Tactically, the Ninth Theater was mainly defensive, relying on favorable terrain for defense, causing heavy casualties to the Japanese army. In the defense, the use of retreat and lack of battle, the destruction of communications and the clearing of strong walls led to the inability of the Japanese army to give full play to its advantages, and the combat effectiveness was greatly reduced, and in the end, the casualty ratio of the two armies was very close. Compared with the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the losses of the Nationalist Government were basically twice that of the Japanese army, which is inconceivable.

Later, Lao Jiang sent a congratulatory message to Xue Yue: "The victory in northern Hunan is exciting for the whole country, which is the evidence of the final victory, and it is especially important for the people's faith and international audio-visual. Jun Lie has made great achievements, and he has a good and deep celebration. ”

The Battle of Changsha ended with an unexpected result, and both China and Japan went back to lick their wounds, leaving only chicken feathers all over the ground.

Despite the defeat on the outskirts of Changsha, the Japanese government made a great breakthrough in foreign negotiations. On April 20, in the midst of the Battle of Changsha, the Thai dictatorial marshal finally could not withstand the tremendous pressure from the Japanese side and surrendered.

But Luang Phibun. Although Song Kan chose to give in, he did not completely and completely obey the Japanese arrangement. When the Thai cabinet discussed its policy toward Japan, there were serious differences of opinion, and in the end, the prime minister decided to choose a compromise plan, not to sign a military alliance treaty with Japan, not to declare war on China, but only to allow the Japanese army to use the route.

On April 21, Japanese Foreign Minister Yosuke Matsuoka and Thai Prime Minister Luang Phibun. The Thai-Japanese Agreement was signed in Bangkok, which consisted of three articles: First, in order to deal with the situation in East Asia as a matter of urgency, Thailand allowed the Japanese army to pass through the Thai border and did everything possible to facilitate it. Second, in order to implement the provisions of paragraph 1, the military authorities of the two sides shall separately negotiate a detailed by-law. Thirdly, Japan guarantees that Thailand receives the respect it deserves.

The signing of the "Thai-Japanese Agreement" legalized the entry of Japanese troops into Thailand, and the actions of the Japanese army went far beyond the scope of the treaty. Not only did the Japanese quickly occupy Songkhla, the new airport on the outskirts of Pattani, and at this time occupied the Manlang airport in Bangkok, but the railways and ports were also taken over by the Japanese army, and a large number of troops were stationed in various places.

After a great success from Thailand, Japanese Foreign Minister Yosuke Matsuoka transferred to French Indochina via Thailand on March 3, 1940, where he met with General Ansato of France.

Japan's relations with French Indochina have not always been very good, but this relationship has changed somewhat after Japan mediated the dispute between Thailand and France, and this change was caused by Matsuoka Yosuke.

At the beginning of January this year, mediation talks were held in Tokyo mainly between Foreign Minister Matsuoka and French Ambassador Amway and Thai Representative Wang. Whiteagen between them. Japan's original policy was to suppress the demands of French Indochina and support the demands of the Thai side, in order to obtain the relevant privileges of Japan in Thailand and, if possible, to form a military offensive and defensive alliance with Thailand.

However, Matsuoka was dissatisfied with the high-handed attitude of the Thai side. Instead, the talks were directed in favor of French Indochina. At the same time as the talks, the headquarters and the government held several joint meetings to maintain contact with Foreign Minister Matsuoka, who was presiding over the talks.

Foreign ministers, however, tend to act on their own personal assumptions and ignore these established national policies. The base camp felt helpless about Foreign Minister Matsuoka's deviant actions. During this period, the Army, Navy and the Government, in view of the procrastination of the French side, discussed on several occasions the use of force against French Indochina. Not long ago, the Army and Navy Headquarters, the base camp, even made up its mind to use force for a time. (To be continued.) )
