Chapter 1681 is devastating

On September 19, 1938, the situation in Siberia took a dramatic turn. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At a time when the First and Third Armies of the Japanese Army, relying on the sudden autumn rains, successfully stopped the eastward advance of Li Jinlong's corps on the line between Barabinsk and Kuibyshev, and the headquarters of the Siberian Front was complacent about the great "victory" achieved by the two armies, Xiao Wu's corps and Hu Jiyang's corps had already crossed the Salail Pass and suddenly appeared under the city of Guryevsk, and an independent infantry brigade of the Japanese army was quickly annihilated before it could pass on the news.

At that time, the Japanese army was retreating eastward in an orderly manner, and because the transportation capacity of the Trans-Siberian Railway was very problematic, the supply of food and ammunition was extremely tight, so it had to collect ammunition from various divisions and send it to Barabinsk, Kargat, Churem, and Berdissk to ensure that the First, Third, and Fourth Armies had enough ammunition to cover the retreat of the divisions.

Even Matsui Ishone's Eighth Army, which was in charge of the demolition mission, also surrendered its ammunition because it was in the rear.

Behind the battle line, with the natural barrier of Mount Salaire in the western part of the industrial area, which is more than 1,000 meters high, and the fact that the Seventh Army had previously sent an independent infantry brigade to fortify the edge of the forest, no one realized that the crisis was approaching.

The Japanese troops scattered in various cities, factories and mines in the Kemirovo-Temiltau region were still unhurriedly planting explosives according to the explosion points set by the sappers after surveying.

The First and Second Mechanized Corps under the jurisdiction of Xiao Wu Corps were equipped with Soviet-made tanks and armored vehicles, while the troops directly under the Corps were equipped with Wolf and Leopard tanks and armored fighting vehicles designed and produced by Syria.

The Hu Jiyang Corps is a semi-motorized unit, which has under its command the Corps Headquarters and the 10th and 11th Group Armies of the Northern Military Region, and the three armies supported by Xiangxi, Qianxi, and Yunnan to the north are also temporarily under its command.

After the two corps occupied the city of Guryevsk, they carried forward the spirit of continuous combat and quickly spread out to both flanks without a moment's pause.

As many as seven corps of troops, in the heart of the Kemirovo-Temirtau, left and right bows, like a tiger out of a cage, all units cooperated with each other, courageously forward, in just three days, the largest industrial base in the West Siberian region with more than 20 industrial cities was declared to have changed hands.

The saddest figure was undoubtedly Matsui Ishone, who sat in the southeast of the industrial zone in the city of Abagan and presided over the blasting of this industrial and mining enterprise, but because the Anjia military first parachuted the air force to various strategic points, cut off the telephone lines of the entire region, and used the electronic countermeasures brigade, interfering with the radio communications of the entire region.

From beginning to end, Matsui did not receive a distress telegram from the front-line troops.

Although during this period, Matsui Ishine sent troops many times to investigate the situation, but as soon as the people were sent out, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no news.

It was not until September 22, when a large number of troops had retreated from Stalinsk along the railway line, that Matsui learned that his 41st, 49th, and 113th Divisions and four separate infantry brigades were finished.

Although the Eighth Army was equipped with rifles and light and heavy machine guns, the troops were only issued a small number of ammunition, grenades, grenades, mortars, and infantry guns, and were not equipped with any anti-tank weapons at all, and the battle was one-sided from the beginning.

In the face of the rolling tanks and armored vehicles, as well as the elite of the An Jiajun who followed behind like a tiger, the cowardly Japanese obediently tied their hands and captured.

Just as he was considering the overall situation of the battle and preparing to order the 37th Division stationed in Abagan to blast the industrial and mining enterprises in advance and then evacuate urgently, fierce gunfire had already sounded outside the city.

Such a fierce frequency of gunfire was not at all possible for the 37th Division, which lacked ammunition supplies, and Matsui Ishone was very helpless, so he had to save the troops as the first priority, and immediately ordered an accelerated retreat.

The pursuers were too hasty, and the subsequent retreat turned into a rout.

Countless Japanese soldiers fled north along the railway line, followed by the mechanized units of the Anjia Army in tanks and armored vehicles, and by the time Matsui Ishone retreated to the city of Achensk on the 26th, there was less than a brigade left, and the vast majority of the Japanese soldiers were taken prisoner.

However, it is fortunate that the Japanese army is fortunate that as early as the 22nd, when the main force of Hu Jiyang's corps attacked the city of Kemirovo, the Japanese front headquarters learned from the retreating soldiers that the rear of the battle line was attacked by the main force of the Anjia army.

At the suggestion of Chief of Staff Koichi Ishikawa, the commander Marshal Ishimotonomiya Morimasa immediately transferred the Fourth Army to the two cities of Yugar and Taiga for defense.

Worried about the safety of the retreat, King Imoto Morisho ordered the First Army and the Third Army to cover the retreat alternately, and then quickly retreated with the men and horses of the Front Army Headquarters.

Late on the night of September 22, Yang Jiuxiao's corps, which had been approaching the city of Novosibirsk for two days, suddenly launched an attack on the city of Berdisk. Berdisk is the most important city in the south of Novosibirsk, and due to the construction of the Ob River hydroelectric power station, the city is surrounded by water on three sides, and the railway and highway bridges leading to the city of Western Siberia are easy to defend and difficult to attack. Previously, the Japanese defense was almost impeccable, and Yang Jiuxiao did not dare to give the order to attack the fortification for fear that the other side would blow up the bridge.

However, the retreat of the two divisions of the Japanese Fourth Army stationed in the city gave Yang Jiuxiao's corps an opportunity to take advantage of it, and the three group armies and the troops directly under the front army shouted earth-shattering, all the way through the fortifications built by the Japanese army outside the city, rushed into the city, and then crossed the railway and highway bridges to the southeastern suburbs of Novosibirsk.

The two divisions of the Fourth Army, which had just withdrawn to Novosibirsk, hastily built fortifications southeast of the city, and then telephoned the First and Third Armies to warn them to speed up their retreat, as if the city of Novosibirsk was captured by the Anjia Army, the two armies would be in a desperate situation.

At this time, the First Group Army led by Dong Jinming advanced all the way along the Chanei River, and finally in the early morning of the 23rd, it entered the southwestern suburbs of Novosibirsk, and Yang Jiuxiao's troops on both sides of the Ob River, echoing each other, and launched an attack on the city of Novosibirsk together.

Seiji Kazuki and Shun Hata were shocked, and at this time, they could no longer care about the enemy in front of them, so they discarded all their baggage and heavy weapons, and quickly retreated eastward.

In order to ensure the retreat route of the First Army and the Third Army, he strictly ordered the troops to fight for every inch of trenches, and those who retreated were all disemboweled, and then the entire position outside the city was lost, and then it turned into difficult street fighting, fighting hard for two days and two nights, until the First Army and the Third Army retreated to Novosibirsk City.

In this battle, the two divisions and two brigades of the Fourth Army defending the city of Novosibirsk were almost wiped out as a formation, and the remaining troops covered by the First Army and the Third Army, retreated along the railway to Omsk, and then retreated to Krasnoyarsk on the west bank of the Yenisei River under the drive of the pursuing troops.

On October 5, the last units of the Japanese Siberian Front withdrew across the Yenisei River and moved along the railway towards Lake Baikal, and the entire Battle of Western Siberia was completely concluded.

Due to poor logistical supplies, the entire campaign, the six divisions and six independent brigades of the Japanese army were almost completely wiped out, of which the worst performance was the Eighth Army led by Matsui Ishine, who sent the troops away in a daze without much resistance, and the entire army of 120,000 people, and finally collected the remnants of less than 20,000, and was captured by the Anjia Army in one fell swoop Six wing flags, which can be described as a great shame.

As a result of this fiasco, Matsui Ishine led his troops back to Irkutsk and was sent back to Tokyo by plane, where he met the Empress and returned to his official residence to apologize, thus ending his sinful life.

General Kotaro Nakamura, commander of the Fourth Army, who withstood the continuous attacks of the Anjia Army, temporarily replaced King Ishimotonomiya Morimasa, who had returned to Beijing to report on his duties, as commander of the Siberian Front.

......

On a gentle slope on the west bank of the Yenisei River.

Hu Jialin and Huang Zhi watched the large army pass through the railroad and highway bridges and pontoon bridges erected by the engineer units across the Yenisei River, and at the same time gave Hu Jiyang, who led his troops into Eastern Siberia and pursued the Japanese army fiercely.

On the advice of Hu Jialin and Huang Zhi, the General Staff of the An Jia Army approved the plan for the formation of the East Siberian Corps. General Hu Jiyang commanded the 1st, 10th, and 11th armies of the Northern Military District, followed the pace of the Japanese army, penetrated straight into Irkutsk, and advanced to the Mardaban Mountains on the southern shore of Lake Baikal, where they confronted the Japanese army.

"Jiyang, your three group armies have a long way to go to deal with the troops of the seven armies of the Japanese army, block the road of the Japanese army's westward attack, and protect our industrial and agricultural bases in Central Asia. I know that you must have doubts in your mind, didn't the previous plan stick to the defense line of the Yenisei River, why did you want to push it to the Baikal region in one fell swoop? What if the Japanese army suddenly came after being replenished with ammunition and troops?

"I'll tell you right now, we have top-secret intelligence that confirms that the Japanese army intends to move to the south, and the Japanese army in Siberia will continue to move south, and in the end it is expected that only two armies will be left to hold the defensive line. The bottom line of the Japanese army was Lake Baikal, and the Japanese army base camp had stockpiled a large amount of food and ammunition in Ulan-Uda and Chita early, and in August sent a large number of Lanyin natives to build permanent fortifications along the foothills of Lake Baikal and the border with Mongolia. The purpose of the Japanese army is obvious, and to hold Lake Baikal is to defend the Far East and Northeast, and the Japanese army is unequivocal about this.

"In this case, the pressure on your defense is not too heavy, but you must not be too lax, the Japanese army has always had a tradition of subduing the enemy, if the front-line commander insists on going his own way and takes the initiative to provoke an attack, and you are not prepared, the losses will be very heavy, you must pay more attention to this.

"As the Eastern and Western Fronts become more stable, and our ammunition and food supplies also have certain problems, there will not be many opportunities to fight in the Central Asian theater for a long time to come. According to the results of my discussions with the chairman in Xinjing, Central Asia will be transferred to economic construction in the next two to three years, and both industry and agriculture must develop by leaps and bounds in the next two to three years. As long as Central Asia can develop, then our Anjia Army can hit people with both fists. In a few years, when we have enough food and ammunition, we will assemble a large army and fight all the way back to the Far East, Northeast China, North China and Korea from west to east, and drive little Japan out into the sea! ”

Hu Jiyang was extremely excited and saluted Hu Jialin: "Thank you to the commander and chief of staff for your attention, Jiyang promises to keep the door open and not let the commander and chief of staff worry about it." ”

Huang Zhi nodded, smiled and said, "The Mongolian Military Region has gathered heavy troops along the border line, and it is ready to respond to your actions at any time. Alright, the troops are almost over, you go! ”

Hu Jiyang saluted Huang Zhi again, turned around and walked down the hillside, got into the jeep waiting there, and soon the car passed over the Yenisei River bridge and disappeared into the distant sky.
