[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 1147: Applause is like thunder (please subscribe!) , ask for a monthly pass, ask for everything! ）

The Japanese army moved very quickly, and in the afternoon of the same day, Sadaichi Yoshimoto, chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, left Xinjing (Changchun) under the protection of an air brigade and rushed by plane to the Mudanjiang River in North Manchuria, where the "banditry" was most serious. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

At about 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the plane landed at Mudanjiang Airport, and after entering Mudanjiang, Yoshimoto Sadachi knew the seriousness of the situation. Originally, he thought that although bandits were rampant in the area north of the Jiaohe River, the defenders should also resist.

But when I came here, I found that Xu Hu's department had stirred up the entire hinterland of Manchuria, and in the vast area from the north of the Mudanjiang River to the south of Jiamusi, the imperial defenders collapsed on all fronts, and all the urban and rural counties and cities fell into the hands of Xu Hu's department, and the people of China were still attacking, and the momentum was extremely rapid.

The most important thing is that there are now less than 30,000 of the 90,000 imperial troops in this area, and only about 20,000 of the original 50,000 imperial troops remain, and the 150,000 troops promised to him by His Excellency the Commander have become only about 50,000 before they have even begun, and the aviation units and paratroopers are at most 60,000.

After receiving Yoshimoto Sadachi's report, General Yamada Otosan was also taken aback, and immediately transferred reinforcements from two divisions to Yoshimoto Sadachi. He also ordered Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Sadachi that no matter what method or means were used, he must completely solve the problem of bandits in the hinterland of Manchuria.

At the same time that the Kwantung Army Headquarters held a military meeting, Xu Hu also held a meeting of military and political cadres above the division level in Yilan.

Because of the importance of the meeting, even Li Zhaolin, who was far away in Shuangyashan, sent people to attend. Although Li Zhaolin himself could not leave the army due to the vigorous encirclement and suppression of the Japanese puppet army, he still sent his deputy Shi Quanhai to Yilan to attend the meeting.

The venue of the meeting was set up in the former Yilan Japanese Army Garrison Headquarters, and because the level of this meeting was relatively high, the number of people was relatively small, adding up to more than 10 people.

Compared with the luxury of the Japanese conference room, it is much simpler here, a military map, a few tables, chairs and benches, a few glasses of boiled water, and then a few officers and cadres who do not even have uniform uniforms.

The atmosphere of the meeting was also not as dull and tense as that of the Japanese army, which was of course due to the impressive performance of the troops. In addition, it is also due to the fact that there is a comradely relationship of mutual trust between military and political cadres, rather than the rigid hierarchical relationship between Japanese officers.

At the beginning of the meeting, Xu Hu first read out the affirmation of the North China Corps Headquarters and the Party Committee of the North China Bureau for their operations against Japan during this period, and also read out the commendation decision drawn up by Ma Zheng himself.

Then Xu Hu asked each unit to make a report on the results of the battle: "Comrades, when making a report on the results of the battle, you also tell you about the strength of your respective troops by the way, I don't have the ability of our commander Ma Zheng, people can continue to win the battle without knowing how many troops they have, but we can't!" ”

"We are now deep into the enemy's hinterland, and every soldier and pawn must be used on the blade, so our command must understand the actual combat strength of each unit to facilitate the command, Commander Wu, let's start with your 9th Division!"

Wu Xiuda got up and said loudly: "After capturing Shuangyashan, we reorganized the Ninth Division and continued to move south, successively occupying Xiangbaoqing, Huanan and other places where the Japanese puppet army was empty, and now we actually control the territory of 5 counties. During this period, 13,000 Japanese defenders were eliminated, including 4,800 Japanese soldiers, more than 8,700 Japanese nationals were captured, 37,000 prisoners of war from both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party were rescued, and a large number of weapons and equipment, gold and silver property were seized. ”

"Tell me about your unit's current strength and weaponry!" Xu Hu said.

"Yes, after capturing Baoqing and other places, our unit temporarily expanded the troops, adding 9 infantry regiments and 2 cavalry regiments, totaling more than 30,000 people. Counting the old troops, our division now has more than 54,600 soldiers. Wu Xiuda replied.

"To be more detailed, although the number of your troops has increased, what is the combat effectiveness, and can it withstand the joint attack of the Japanese puppet army? You must know that our Saibei Corps has always looked at the actual combat effectiveness, and whether a unit is strong or not depends not on how many people it has, but on whether it can withstand strong winds and waves, and whether it can fight or drag forward is the real elite," Xu Hu continued.

Xu Hu knew that Wu Xiuda was born as a bandit, although he was an expert in leading troops to fight, but he had a lot of problems with his body, and if he didn't ask a few words, this guy would inevitably play tricks on himself.

Wu Xiuda stood up straight, and immediately said: "Commander-in-chief, our reorganized Ninth Division can accept any challenge from the enemy. Our 50,000-strong army is not used to make up numbers, all the unqualified soldiers have been kicked out of the army, and all those who can stay are first-class good soldiers, and there is not a single soldier. ”

Then Wu Xiuda continued: "All the later additions in our department have a certain military foundation, whether it is the Kuomintang prisoners or the bandits who were originally hiding in the mountains and forests, or the remnants of the Northeast Army, they are all elite who can directly pull up and resist the little devils, as long as they run in for a period of time, they can definitely be pulled out to fight bayonets with the little devils." ”

"Very good, tell me about your establishment, is there a gap in weapons and equipment?" Xu Hu continued to ask.

"The establishment of the old unit remains unchanged, it is still three brigades and 13 regiments, and the new unit has 11 regiments, for a total of 24 regiments. The weapons gap is there, but it's not big, and we can fix it ourselves. However, we are now extremely short of conscienceless cannons and war horses, and if possible, I hope that the command can equip us with some conscienceless cannons and war horses. ”

"Commander-in-chief, if they still lack weapons and equipment, the other divisions will not live. During the attack on Baoqing, their 9th Division robbed two Japanese military columns transporting munitions, and heard that they could equip two divisions. In addition, Captain Baoqingtie's special combat team handed over a captured arsenal to the 9th Division, and when our 4th Division arrived, Division Commander Wu was there to count the loot. Bi Lige, the new commander of the Fourth Division, deliberately showed himself and said sourly.

"Hahaha, Lao Bi, my eyes are red, and I have the ability to get a few military trains by myself!" Wu Xiuda said with a smile.

"Okay, let's not talk about the 9th Division, they are really doing very well, Comrade Bilige will talk about your 4th Division!" Xu Hu knew that he couldn't let these guys joke like this, otherwise this meeting would become a tea party that made fun of each other.

"In the nearly half a month of fighting, our fourth division captured 8 county towns of the Japanese puppet army, destroyed 66 large strongholds of the Japanese army, and eliminated 28,000 Japanese puppet troops, including more than 8,600 Japanese garrison soldiers. At present, our unit has more than 40,000 troops, an increase of more than 15,000 from before the expedition. In addition, we are very short of weapons and ammunition in the second field, and many soldiers and units do not have enough weapons and equipment, which needs the help of the commander-in-chief! Bilig briefly talked about the situation of the reorganization of the Fourth Division.

"The situation of the Fourth Division is also very good, it has exceeded the expectations of our military department, very good, very good! All of your captured loot can be kept for your own use, and you don't need to hand it over to the general headquarters. In addition, how many weapons and equipment are missing, pull a list, and I won't send it to you in the fastest time! ”

"Commander-in-Chief Xie!"

"Comrade Bilige, please take a seat, Comrade Shi Quanhai, please tell me about the situation on your side, although you also belong to the battle sequence of our Saibei Corps, we know the least about the situation of your department!" Xu Hu said.

Shi Quanhai hurriedly got up and said: "Report to the commander-in-chief, since our troops were dispatched, we have continuously fought in Jiamusi, Shuangyashan, Tangyuan and Qitaihezi, and after inflicting heavy losses on the Japanese puppet army, the main force is repairing in the Jixi area north of the Mudanjiang River. However, we have received information that the Japanese army is mobilizing the 76th Division, the 127th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade, the 34th and 35th Infantry Divisions, the 4th Cavalry Division of the Puppet Manchurian Wehrmacht, the 1st Independent Tank Wing, and the 3rd Flying Regiment of the Aviation Corps to the north, and it seems that they are preparing to encircle and suppress our troops. ”

"Our general command also knows this news, and now we are drawing up a counterattack plan, and this time we called you here for this matter. Let's talk about this matter separately for a while, let's talk about the troop allocation and combat power of your department first! Xu Hu said.

"Yes, our division now has a total of 3 divisions and 90,000 troops, in addition to the three infantry divisions, 5 cavalry regiments and a large number of supplementary troops have been added, all of which have been collected from the puppet army and the rescued prisoners. The quality of these people is okay, but the degree of loyalty is not guaranteed. Not long ago, we captured a large Japanese arsenal at Qitaihe, and also seized a large amount of weapons and equipment, which could barely make up for the shortfall in the troops. ”

After Shi Quanhai sat down, Xu Hu immediately got up and said, "Comrades, you heard it!" After more than half a month of fighting, all units have made great progress. According to a rough count just now, the total strength of the 4th Division, the 9th Division, and our newly formed 31st, 32nd, and 33rd Divisions has reached 200,000, and the total strength of the 50,000-strong Fifth Division has reached 250,000, which is more than 170,000 more than when we set out on the expedition. ”

"That's a huge number, but it's also a gratifying result! Although some of them certainly require a long period of training to become real soldiers, this achievement cannot be erased and is real. To say a word of immodesty, the strength of our army is soaring, and the strength of the enemy is rapidly declining, and we have reason to applaud ourselves! ”

After speaking, Xu Hu took the lead and clapped his palms!

"Bang Bang!"

Everyone in the conference room followed suit, and for a while, the applause in the small conference room was thunderous!
