Zhang Xuewu checked the so-called county records of sixteen counties such as Zhangbei, and the average winter temperature was between minus 27 and 34 degrees, but most of these records were in recent years, and many previous records were dripping into ice and other words, which made people crazy and unable to judge, but since the Ming Dynasty, there have been cases of hundreds of soldiers and soldiers stationed in the beacon tower being frozen to death, but considering the weather characteristics of the Xiaoice period in the Ming Dynasty, it is estimated that the temperature may also drop below minus 40 degrees.

Different from the global warming in later generations, as long as the snow blows the so-called white hair wind in Rehe during this period, the temperature will plummet by more than ten degrees, and the degree is almost appalling, and Rehe, Suiyuan, Chahar and other places are the necessary places for the diversion of the cold current in Siberia, and they are all famous outlets, as the locals say, the wind blows twice a year, and blows for half a year at a time.

Zhang Xuewu has always thought that although he is a little stupid with a pig's head, he is not so good that he does not remember to eat or not? It's only been a few years since the bloody battle in Chengde, and I dare to attack myself again in even worse weather? His own tank can't be driven, and neither can his own combat vehicle, and the attendance rate of his own fighter is extremely low, so it is a problem for him to even take off.

However, apparently Zhang Xuewu ignored a person, this person is Tojo Hideki, who cannot be called a person from a normal point of view, but he is known for his courage and ruthlessness after being a general, and after three efforts under the care of him, he was admitted to Lu University. The Minister of Military Order, Nagata Tetsuyama, who was killed at the time of the 26 Mutiny, was Tojo's senior, and with his insight into the society of Tojo, he once said something that influenced Tojo's life: "Tojo is the person who will shoulder the army of Tojo in the future." "You must know that at that time, in the Saymoto Army, Nagata Tetsuyama was known as the first brain in the army for his intelligence, and he was a very strong political ability among the soldiers, and he was a recognized leader of the ruling faction, and he was a well-known important figure who shouldered the future of the Tsurumoto Army. That is, if Tojo is the person who will shoulder the army of Samoto in the future, it will be a disaster for Samoto!

And in the eyes of Ishihara Waner, Hideki Tojo is not only immoral and incompetent, but even his appearance makes him unbearable, which is also the main reason why Hideki Tojo does not want to see Ishihara Waner, you can criticize me for being immoral and incompetent? But you are absolutely not allowed to attack me for my ugly appearance, you must know that Hideki Tojo is still very satisfied with his appearance and is proud of it!

Behind the scenes, Ishihara said bad things about Hideki Tojo, what Tojo can only manage two machine guns, and there is nothing he can do if he exceeds two, and Ishihara Waner once called Hideki Tojo, who has been promoted to lieutenant general, a senior soldier in Tojo!

In fact, this has a close relationship with Ishihara Waner is the Imperial Dao faction, because two. At the time of the 26th Mutiny, Ishihara had already been sidelined, but fortunately there was not much involvement, but Hideki Tojo, who was the commander of the military police of the Kwantung Army at that time, sent secret telegrams and secret orders to all divisions, brigades, and military police scattered in various places, ordering the immediate execution of the traitors. According to the blacklist of the Imperial Daoist faction in their possession, the military police of the puppet Xinjing acted quickly and arrested and killed all the high-ranking officers of the puppet Xinjing.

On the other hand, Hideki Tojo lost no time in sending a telegram to the emperor and the military department, stating that the Kwantung Army was opposed to the military advice and resolutely supported the emperor.

After the rebellion, Tojo Hideki won the appreciation of the ruling faction and rose to prominence, so that he sat on the throne of the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, and this unexpected promotion also made Tojo Hideki ecstatic, and decided to show his strength and completely eliminate Zhang Xuewu, who had been regarded as a great danger by the Imperial Army of the Great Empire.

On January 25, 1938, Emperor Hirohito officially issued a decision at the Imperial Council of the Base Camp to secretly assemble with the strength of the seven divisions and four brigades of the North China Front Army, the 6th and 7th Brigades of the Field Heavy Artillery, and the 11th and 12th Wings of the Reading Tank, in cooperation with the main force of the Kwantung Army, with Zunhua as the center.

On the Kwantung Army, the main forces of the 2nd, 8th, and 12th Divisions under the command of the First Front Army under the command of the Zhou Libing Army have already assembled and attacked from the direction of Fuxin in the northwest direction of Chaoyang, and the headquarters of the 10th, 22nd, 35th, and 36th Divisions under the jurisdiction of the Second Front Army of Isoya Ryosuke have assembled and attacked in the southwest direction of Chaoyang from the direction of Jinzhou, and encircled Chaoyang.

The 6th Division, the 14th Division, the 35th Brigade and the 36th Brigade under the jurisdiction of the 3rd Front Army under the jurisdiction of Yamashita Fengwen attacked Zhangjiakou with all their might, and the 38th Division and the 39th Division feinted to attack Chengde and Chifeng respectively, and pinned down the [***] team in the 10th Theater on the whole front.

Hideki Tojo personally commanded the Ohara Tachie Chariot Division and the 23rd Mechanized Division to be hidden near Datong.

Emperor Hirohito's battle orders used many words that were only used in edicts, such as the rise and fall of the imperial kingdom in this battle, the struggle to achieve success, and the planning of the 2,000-year-old country, which were only used in the great battles that decided the fate of the empire during the Russian War, and Terauchi Shouichi, as the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Dispatch Army, and the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, Kenkichi Ueda, both felt that the burden on their shoulders was terrifying.

Because of the relationship of this war, Tada Jun, who was almost transferred to the reserve, was still appointed as the commander of the Central China Front, for which Tada Jun attached the Third Division, the Ninth Division, the Sixteenth Division, and the 101st Division of the Central China Front Army to the Second Brigade of Field Heavy Artillery, and advanced to Xuzhou on the whole front.

The North China Front Army, with the 24th Division, the 25th Division, the 37th Division, the 40th Division, and the 6th Tank Brigade and the 7th Heavy Artillery Brigade of Okamura Ninji's Fifth Army as the main force, should cut off the reinforcements of the Chengde Central [***] Brigade to Chaoyang, and the 51st Division, 55th Division, and 56th Division of the Umezu Mijiro Eighth Army with the 5th Heavy Artillery Brigade were also secretly assembling in Beiping, and only the strength of the two divisions and the other brigade of Itagaki Seishiro's army remained on the entire Jinpu Road in Xuzhou.

In the early morning of January 26, 1938, Ueda Kenkichi announced the implementation of the kamikaze battle plan for the strategic purpose of annihilating the main force of the 10th theater of operations and destroying its Baotou industrial base, and he seemed to have pinned all their hopes on the "kamikaze" that made them smug and linger, in the thirteenth century, Kublai Khan intended to conquer the Kamito with all his might, but unfortunately, he encountered two monsoons in succession, and as a result, the offensive plan was frustrated, and the Shinto monks called these monsoons kamikaze, They believe that these two monsoons are the result of their prayers to Amaterasu, the old rabbit, to play a role.

In front of the Yasukuni Shrine in Kudanzaka, more than 900 new army noncommissioned officers and students, wearing second lieutenant uniforms and swords at their waists, lined up in a neat line. However, this time, the location was changed from Zhentianfu to Yasukuni Shrine.

He said that he has a characteristic, that is, no matter whether it is good or bad, as long as it is different, it is good, and the oath that was carried out in Zhentianfu in the past was suddenly changed to the Yasukuni Shrine? This made these non-commissioned officers feel extremely excited and excited, and the hands of these young officers who were determined to serve militarism were clasped tightly together, and they swore to die for His Majesty the Emperor.

The actual real reason is that the big war is coming, Emperor Hirohito does not want to be interfered with, so he ordered a temporary change of place, this batch of graduates except for a few people with excellent grades, all of them were supplemented to the Kwantung Army and the North China Front, because the battle plan for the main force of the 10th theater of the [***] team was regarded by Emperor Hirohito as a battle of national fortune, whether it can strategically support the country and consolidate the existing occupied area, it depends on whether this time can annihilate the main force of the 10th theater of the [***] team and cut off the Soviet aid channels of the Dingyuan battalion in Suiyuan. As long as the way to kill the [***] reinforcement in the middle is more effective than increasing the number of ten divisions and regiments.

On January 27, 1938, the 2nd, 8th, and 12th Divisions, which had been commanded by Zhou Libing, could not wait for all the field heavy artillery units and tank units to enter the area where the attack was launched, and they could not wait to carry out the order of the commander of the Kwantung Army, Kenkichi Ueda, and began to attack the 1st Garrison Division of the Chinese 10th Theater in Chaoyang.

Although the wind and snow have decreased at this moment, the temperature has risen slightly to a minimum of about minus 34 degrees, but for ordinary people, this temperature is still unbearable, especially when the temperature is below minus 20 degrees, the oil on which the rifle relies to maintain lubrication will condense, if the temperature continues to drop below minus 30 degrees, then the oil will freeze, before the invention of antifreeze low-temperature engine oil, the only effective and simple way is to roast the gunfire part of the weapon.

Dai Peng, the colonel of the first garrison division, is the commander of the main regiment of the Huben Division, and was transferred to serve as the commander of the first garrison division.

After inspecting his overall defense area, Dai Peng, who had just taken over as the commander of the First Chaoyang Garrison Division and the commander of the garrison, was surprised to find that there was a reinforced company of eight jackal light tanks in Chaoyang City. And a large twelve-wheeled tank trailer? The trailer was covered with a thick canvas, and he, the commander of the garrison, was blocked from trying to find out?
