On 28 February, the Japanese Sixth Flying Division arrived in Korea, and in the afternoon 400 Japanese Zero fighters attacked the airfield of the Xinjing Combined Air Force in Chengde, causing heavy losses to 66 bombers and 32 fighters. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
At the same time, the front-line headquarters in Xinjing was also attacked by Japanese fighters, but fortunately, Ma Desheng was not in the headquarters at that time because he was going to inspect the troops around Xinjing, but dozens of combat staff officers and cadres in the headquarters were bombed by Japanese fighters and suffered heavy losses.
After the tragedy, Ma Zheng was furious and ordered the Air Force Joint Command to immediately formulate an operational plan against the Japanese Air Force, and at the same time ordered the Air Force Joint Command to start a plan to bomb the Japanese mainland.
In addition, Ma Zheng also ordered the army of Central and Northern Manchuria to immediately march southward, except for leaving some troops to continue to attack Harbin, all the security work in the Central and Northern Manchurian areas was handed over to those newly formed troops, and the old troops must be assembled within three days, and then go south to accept the command of the headquarters.
So far, the result has been undoubted, whether the Japanese army wants to believe it or not, but the possibility of Ma Zheng's division recovering the entire Northeast is 100% certain
For the Japanese, this result is difficult to accept, even a little cruel. However, with regard to the aggressors, the position of the Saibei Corps and the people of Northeast China is the same, and in any case, all the Japanese puppet troops must be driven out of the Northeast and the 30 million compatriots in the Northeast will be rescued from the dire situation.
March 2 is a memorable day for all North Koreans, because it is a day when the entire North Korean people see the dawn of restoring their national sovereignty.
At 6 o'clock in the morning, about 800 Chinese and Soviet warplanes took off from airports in the northeast region one after another, and soon the group of planes converged in the border area between China and North Korea and headed straight for North Korea.
In accordance with Ma Zheng's order, the joint air force began to carry out uninterrupted and irregular air raids on the Japanese puppet army in Korea, and the main targets of the air raids were the Japanese barracks and strongholds in Korea, as well as important ports controlled by the Japanese, such as Incheon and Busan.
In order to strike at the Japanese in momentum, and at the same time to stimulate the will of the Koreans to resist, Ma Zheng ordered the Korean personnel of various units of the Saibei Corps to print a large number of propaganda slogans and pamphlets in Korean, and these things were dropped all over the DPRK along with bombs and other things, causing a strong reaction in the DPRK region.
The impact of the air raids was enormous, as Korea had been annexed by Japan for 32 years, and Japan took control of Korea by taking control of Korea by making up for the lack of soldiers, and implemented a series of policies to enslave Koreans, such as the "Imperial Nationalization Movement" and "Changing the Family Name".
As with the consequences of Japan's similar policies in Taiwan, many Koreans were raised to be loyal subjects of Japan, volunteering to serve as Japanese soldiers and cannon fodder for the Japanese.
According to the statistics of the Japanese Defense Agency in 1973, among the about 2.5 million Japanese troops invading China, there were 160,000 Korean soldiers and 380,000 in the puppet "Manchukuo" army. Despite this, there are still a large number of Koreans who know the history of their country and hate the Japanese enslavement of Korea very much.
The bombing was mainly aimed at all the important ports and major cities of North Korea, so after the bombing, almost all North Koreans knew that it was the Chinese.
At the same time, the nearly 600,000 troops of the Saibei Corps marched north and south to Mukden, and the people welcomed them wherever the army passed, and the vast number of young men and women enthusiastically joined the army, and the prestige of the Saibei Corps was greatly boosted.
On 7 March, an urgent telegram came from the intelligence department of the Northern Saibei Corps, saying that the Hidden Dragon Squadron had made a major breakthrough in the division and co-optation of the puppet Manchu political leaders, and with the assistance of the No. 1 informant, many of the puppet Manchu political leaders had deliberately broken away from the puppet Manchu regime and the control of the Japanese, many of whom were high-ranking and powerful people.
After receiving the telegram, Ma Zheng was overjoyed, and the chess pieces laid out a few years ago finally came into play. The identity of the so-called No. 1 line is only known to a limited number of people such as Ma Zheng and Xu Yinghui, and she is Yoshiko Kawashima, who was captured by Ma Zheng in eastern Hebei a few years ago.
After Yoshiko Kawashima was captured, Ma Zheng did not kill her, but secretly imprisoned her and sent people to reform her mind.
After two years of hard work, Yoshiko Kawashima finally opened her mouth last year and was willing to serve Ma Zheng's department. But the condition is that as long as the war is over, Ma Zheng must let her go unconditionally.
Ma Zheng naturally has no problem with this, why should she be left after the war is over. Of course, the premise is that she can use her own practical actions to wash away the sins she has committed over the years.
And the reason why Ma Zheng left Yoshiko Kawashima was interested in her intelligence gathering ability and understanding of the Japanese puppet agency, so half a year before advancing into the Northeast, Ma Zheng asked the Hidden Dragon Team to escort Yoshiko Kawashima back to the Northeast secretly.
And Yoshiko Kawashima did not disappoint Ma Zheng, with her assistance, the Hidden Dragon team successively picked a number of intelligence bases of the Kwantung Army, and provided a lot of top-secret information after Ma Zheng's counteroffensive in the northeast, otherwise Ma Zheng's department would not have attacked so smoothly.
With the continuous retreat of the Japanese puppet army, especially the relocation of the puppet Manchurian government to Mukden, Ma Zheng had already seen the prelude to the rout of the Japanese puppet army, so he ordered Kawashima Yoshiko to try to win over the top level of the puppet Manchurian government.
Ma Zheng just gave it a try, but he didn't expect that the Hidden Dragon Clan would have news so quickly, and they had made a major breakthrough.
Ma Zheng immediately ordered the Hidden Dragon Clan's team to have deeper contact with the high-level of the puppet Manchurians, and it would be better if they could flee Mukden directly with their families or troops.
The battle in the Tohoku region continued, and both Yamada Otozo and Yoshimoto Sadaichi understood that the overall situation of the battle had been decided, and the glory of the Imperial Japanese Army would all fall into the quagmire on them, and the myth of the Kwantung Army would become a laughing stock.
Now Ma Zheng's department is advancing vigorously, although there is still not much breakthrough in the southern front, but Ma Desheng's department from the direction of Xinjing and Liu Fengchi's department from the direction of Yingkou are infinitely close to Fengtian.
Even the reinforcements promised to them by the base camp have already arrived in Tonghua, but it seems unlikely that this 100,000 people alone will be able to reverse the decline.
Now Yamada's only hope is that the passage for the withdrawal of the army to Korea can be guaranteed, and at the same time, as many strategic materials and industrial equipment as possible will be withdrawn to the DPRK, and in his opinion the withdrawal of the Kwantung Army to the DPRK is inevitable.
Ma Zheng didn't care what Yamada Otozo thought, he was now bent on taking Shenyang and completely eliminating the Kwantung Army and the puppet Manchurian government.
To this end, Ma Zheng ordered the air force to continuously attack South Manchuria and Korea, and at the same time ordered the United Air Force to constantly look for fighters to cripple or even completely annihilate the Japanese air force.
At the same time, Ma Zheng also moved his headquarters from Tongliao to Changchun, and more than 50,000 mobile troops from three divisions of the Saibei Corps marched eastward.
After arriving in Changchun, the first thing Ma Zheng did was to change the name of the city, what bullshit Xinjing, this place is called Changchun.
Then Ma Zheng asked the troops on the front line to report their own background, and he looked at how many troops he had in his hands now, which was related to where the troops could fight, whether they hit South Manchuria or directly invaded North Korea, all of which depended on their own strength.
Soon, the troop statistics of the Fourth Route Army were reported to the command headquarters, and I didn't know if I didn't know it, and I was shocked when I saw it.
The expansion of various units was expected by Ma Zheng, after all, they were carrying out liberation operations and playing the role of rescuers, and they would definitely win the trust and support of the people. In addition, the people in the northeast region are already fierce, and there will definitely be many young and middle-aged people who will join the army at that time.
In addition, the army captured a lot of puppet soldiers in this battle, Ma Zheng didn't believe that Xu Hu and others would let go of these ready-made soldiers, I am afraid that those prisoners will be changed into the uniforms of the Eighth Route Army as soon as they are captured, and they will be stuffed into the army with a little ideological transformation.
But when the troops reported their respective family backgrounds to the headquarters, Ma Zheng was still taken aback. This speed and quantity are amazing.
Not to mention anything else, Xu Hu's army alone exceeded 600,000, you must know that before the battle, they were only 6 divisions and 300,000 people, which doubled in less than two months.
And Yang Chengwu and Ma Desheng's troops are also amazing, the total strength of these two armies has also increased to more than 300,000, and then counting the troops on the new front line of Panjinfu and Liu Fengchi's troops near Yingkou, now the total strength of Ma Zheng's troops in the northeast alone exceeds 1.8 million, an increase of more than 800,000 compared with before the troops.
