At this time, in the Beijing-Tianjin area, although the Kwantung Army had a large number of troops, it had to guard against the Soviet troops in the Far East, and was unable to go south to open up contact with the North China Front. By the end of the year www.biquge.info the Qianlong 3 fighters that had been put into service in the flight team had reached more than 9 squadrons. Although large-scale ground operations in the north have stopped, the air force activities in the northwest have become more frequent, and although the Falcon fighters of the Japanese Army Aviation have shortened the gap with the Feilong and Tenglong fighters to a certain extent, they still lag behind these two fighters in terms of performance, and it is basically impossible to escape death when they encounter the hidden dragon.

With the recovery of Shanxi, Suiyuan, and most of Hebei, the air defense pressure in the northwest has plummeted, and more flight formations originally used for the air defense of the northwest have been transferred to the front line to participate in the operation.

With a large number of Tenglong fighters escorting the whole process, the Northwest Heavy Bombardment Flying Squadron expanded to nearly 200 strategic long-range Kunpeng squadrons to attack the Luda that Japan had been controlling since the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle. More than half of the facilities in the north's largest port were destroyed. After the bombing of the brigade, after a short period of rest and maintenance, the Kunpeng team bombed Fengtian again, and the Fengtian Arsenal, which the Japanese army spent more than ten years and spent hundreds of millions of dollars to rebuild, was bombed into ruins.

Successfully destroyed the Mukden Airport, destroyed a large number of buildings and equipment of the Mukden Arsenal, and thousands of Japanese technicians and technicians died directly under the bombing. After two large-scale bombings, the Japanese-controlled Mukden Arsenal had lost its basic function, that is, it had lost its ability to replenish ammunition and weapons for the North China Front and the Eastern Army. The ammunition consumed by the Kwantung Army and the North China Front had to be transported from domestic routes in order to ensure its ability to continue fighting.

The heavy losses of Luda and Mukden hit the regeneration ability of the Kwantung Army, which made the top brass of the Japanese army in China at this time have to lament that the Northwest Air Force has dominated the entire northern battlefield.

Due to the unprecedented strength of the Northwest Army in the north, Pan Wenhua, the leader of the Sichuan Army, who originally wanted to ride the wall as a two-faced faction, also completely fell to the northwest. With Jiang Wenhao, 150,000 troops of the North Sichuan Group Army, they went to western Hubei and went straight down the river to Yichang and Jingmen.

Within a year, the situation of fighting in China had undergone earth-shaking changes, especially the North China Front, where the Kwantung Army had lost more than 150,000 casualties and was forced to drop nearly 30,000 men, and the North China Front suffered losses of more than one-third of the wounded. At this time, Wang Tiehan's 51st Army Yu Xuezhong, who was freed up, went south with the Jin Sui Army, and Zhao Tieshu's 2nd Group Army, Zhang Zhibang's 9th Group Army, Zhang Chujiu's 16th Army, and the Northwest Army of Tongguan in the east, totaling more than 800,000 people, counterattacked the North China Front Army with more than 400,000 troops from the long front of northern Lubei, eastern Henan, southeastern Henan, and northern Anhui.

At this time, the North China Front, which was overstretched, had fallen into a vicious circle, constantly drawing a large number of troops from the rear to fill the front line in order to resist the offensive of the Northwest Army, and the Japanese army had already been defeated, and the guerrilla activities in the rear, anyway, the puppet army had messed up the rear of the Japanese army. Once again, the supply of food, ammunition was delayed.

At this time, the Central China Front Army also faced Yang Hucheng, Pan Wenhua's counterattack of nearly 400,000 people, Yang Hucheng used Sun Liren's 13th Army as the forward, and fought through the Luohe River, Zhumadian, Xinyang, and Suizhou in one go. When Chinese New Year's Eve came in 1942, Chen Bing Xiaogan was already in Xiaogan, and the three towns of Wuhan were only separated by a river.

At this time, Chiang's Central Army was worried that the Northwest Army would grab too much territory, and also organized the troops under his command to counterattack on various fronts, containing a large number of Japanese forces, and at the same time, in order to win the support of the foreign powers, they were very obedient to the opinions of Britain and the United States in the operation into Burma. It's just that Chairman Chiang at this time probably knows that even if he obeys the will of Britain and the United States, he can't compare to the northwest to speak with strength, and now he can't figure out what kind of method Jiang Li used, and the Japanese army, which originally had an advantage in the north, almost suffered a rout on the whole line in a year. The two major annihilation battles fought by the Northwest Army directly annihilated 100,000 Japanese troops, which was an unimaginable figure for the Central Army.

Even at this time, Chiang's Central Army launched a large number of counterattacks, but there was a serious lack of firepower, and the Nationalist Army, which had no air cover, smashed its head and bled in front of the Japanese defense line. If it weren't for the fact that Matsui Shigen's Central China Front began to draw a large number of troops to block the Sichuan Army from the east, as well as the Yang Hucheng Group Army that went south, I am afraid that the Nationalist Army would have suffered heavy casualties under the counterattack of the Japanese army.

In the face of the unprecedented deterioration of the battlefield in China, Tian Junroku, Matsui Ishine, and the commander of the Kwantung Army all sent telegrams to the base camp one after another, suggesting that the war against China should be ended immediately, otherwise the troops of the troops dispatched in China would be completely lost under the counterattack of the rapidly expanding Northwest Army. Although the Japanese high-level contact with Chairman Chiang at this time, even the Kuomintang at this time was unwilling to act as the target of the public, the Japanese army has brought such heavy casualties and tribulations to the Republic of China in recent years, and now it wants to end the war and keep the northeast region, how can there be such a good thing. The attitude of the northwest was even more thorough, and directly refused to receive the Japanese envoys. The attitude of the North and the South meant that the war would end in the complete defeat of one side.

At this time, the mainland has become a hot potato for Japan, the food is tasteless, and Central China and North China are also just that, but the Northeast region, which has given up its rule for more than ten years and has entered a virtuous circle, is naturally unwilling for Japan, not to mention that the coal and iron resources in the Northeast are also an extremely important source of strategic materials for Japan. It's just that this means that the Japanese army must fight the Northwest Army to the end. However, the commanders of the Japanese army in China knew that the operations in North China and Central China would never last long in the face of a counterattack by the Northwest and the Nationalist Army. The base camp of the Japanese army made an emergency plan after painful consideration, that is, to withdraw from the battlefields of North China and Central China, and transfer these two troops, as well as a part of the Japanese army in South China, a part of Southeast Asia, and a unit into the northeast, so as to prevent the most important northeast region from being conquered by the Northwest Army.

This important information was sent to Jiang Li's hands by Qiao Jun in time, once the Japanese army completed the arrangement, the Japanese army in the northeast region may directly reach as many as one hundred thousand, under the key defense of such a huge force, the difficulty of the Northwest Army to recover the northeast will undoubtedly increase several times. And there will be a lot of losses.

However, fortunately, there are still hundreds of thousands of troops in the North China Front and the Central China Front combined, and it is not that they can be withdrawn, and at this time, Japan transported a large number of materials and troops from the South Seas, and it did not have this capacity in a short time. However, this plan was still reminded by the high-level leaders in the northwest after all, so under the propaganda of the red forces, under the drag of hundreds of people, a large number of weapons, ammunition, heavy equipment, and army supplies were sent to the front line. A large-scale winter offensive was also launched, and the airspace north of the Yangtze River at this time completely became the world of the Northwest Air Force.

After a little silence, the northern battlefield became noisy again, although the Northwest Army restrained itself from fighting Beiping, but the plan of the Japanese base camp did not allow the Northwest Army much time to delay, and it had to hit the northeast before the Japanese troops volleyed out in North China, Central China, and South China. A large number of tanks, assault guns formed a torrent of steel all the way to Tianjin rushed to the past, although the Republic of China's Tianjin is one of the largest cities in the north economically, but the lesser of the two harms, the Northwest Army can only take the Japanese army in Tianjin, in Datong, Guisui area after the initial rest of Li Du's 5th Army and 18th Army, as well as Wang Tiehan's 6th Army main force, and was used separately Jin Sui Army.

Although it did not have too much advantage in terms of troops, after this period of fighting, especially after the Mukden Arsenal was bombed twice, after the Japanese army rushed to repair, it was only restored to a quarter of its heyday, and the confidence of the Kwantung Army was suddenly knocked down. At this time, in addition to defending to the death by risk, the Japanese army completely lost the strength of the field duel with the Northwest Army, and in the not so vast theater of operations, the armored torrent formed by more than 1,500 steel fortresses of the Northwest Army, including the Snow Leopard armored car, rushed all the way, and in the case of casualties, the Japanese stubborn resistance destroyed more than 400 Tomahawk tanks, assault guns, and Snow Leopard armored vehicles of the Northwest Army in a three-month operation.

In just a few months, the Northwest Army has replenished more than 400 tanks and assault guns to the front line, and more than 180 Snow Leopard armored vehicles. The Japanese army paid more than 100,000 casualties and inflicted heavy casualties on the Northwest Army. However, relatively speaking, the Northwest Army was using tanks and assault guns to sacrifice as much as possible to save the lives of its soldiers, and under the cover of aviation, the casualties of the Northwest Army as the attacking side were much lower than those of the Japanese army. The speed of replenishment of the Northwest Army was even faster than the speed of destruction by the Japanese army, so that the artillery and armored units of the Northwest Army on the front line were fighting more and more, and such an outcome undoubtedly caused great damage to the morale of the Japanese troops fighting on the front line. The casualties of 100,000 still did not stop the northward advance of the Northwest Army, with the recovery of Tianjin. Wang Tiehan assigned a section of the Jin Sui Army, strengthened an artillery corps, and armored troops entered Langfang, and a corps separated from the 18th Group Army to monitor the Japanese army in Beiping, and he continued to move his army north, attacked Jixian, and successfully joined forces with the 5th and 18th Group Armies.

In the south, Yu Xuezhong commanded more than 100,000 people to sweep northern Lubei, capture Jinan, go all the way south, and launch the third battle of Xuzhou with Zhao Tieshu. However, the biggest progress was Zhang Zhibang's 9th Army, which captured Haozhou and Mengcheng, and then divided its troops all the way north to attack Xuzhou, all the way south, and attacked Bengbu and Huainan region.

Under the siege of the north-south advance of hundreds of thousands of troops of the Northwest Army, the rapidly depleting troops and ammunition of the North China Front Army could not be replenished in a timely manner, and after repeated deliberations, Tian Junliu left two divisions to hold Xuzhou in order to ensure the retreat of the North China and Central China Fronts, while he himself led the main force to the south to ensure that the retreat of the two front armies would not be cut off by the Northwest Army. Two divisions, the Japanese army, which had completely lost air supremacy, were soon drowned in the indiscriminate bombardment of the Northwest Army.

Yu Xuezhong waved his army to attack the east to Qingdao, Yantai, and Shandong! Beiping fell into the encirclement of the Northwest Army, Matsui Shigen faced a comprehensive counterattack by Chiang's Guo* Army and Yang Hucheng, and Pan Wenhua. Under the cover of the air force, Yang Hucheng's troops crossed the river with a large number of fishing boats organized and occupied the three towns of Wuhan first.

At the same time that the south is progressing quite rapidly, the situation in the northeast has also taken a huge turn, the Northwest Army, which has gathered the main forces of the three group armies, has more than 2,200 aircraft of various types, 1,500 tanks of all kinds, assault guns, and Qiao Jun Zhanmu, a staff officer who has always made meritorious contributions, was ordered to serve as the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army to assist the commander of the Kwantung Army in commanding operations. The Northeast region, which was originally planned to be recovered at a huge price, became twice the result with half the effort because of the appearance of this guy Qiao Jun Zhanmu, and Qiao Jun Zhanmu, who had been raised before, also received an excess return at this time.

Under Qiao Junmu's arrangement, the troops of a division of the puppet Manchu Army assisted the northwest paratroopers who were airborne again to successfully control the area from Yingkou to Dashiqiao, intercepted several trains of the Japanese army transporting arms and ammunition, and successfully blasted them. More than 50,000 troops of the North China Front Army, which were brought out of Shanghai by Japanese ship, had just arrived at the port, and the soldiers had not yet arrived at the shore, and nearly 200 Kunpeng fighters pressed down on the port of Dalian like a black cloud, once again turning this place into a world of blood and fire, with more than 50,000 Japanese troops, more than 20 large troop carriers, and a large amount of ordnance and ammunition.

On the front line, hundreds of thousands of Northwest Army, regardless of casualties, successively captured Jinzhou, Chaoyang, and Panshan, and opened up contact with the paratroopers at the critical moment when they were about to be surrounded and annihilated by the Japanese army, and consolidated the initial results. The Northwest Army, which had stood in the southwest of Liaoning, frantically poured in. Under the leadership of the Japanese traitors, Tian Jianlong's ** armored division drove overnight like a divine help, captured Liaoyang, and cut off the Nanman Road again. With the deliberate help of Qiao Junmu, the special operations brigade sent out from the northwest successfully intercepted a train carrying artillery shells from North Korea to Dandong overnight, and the train exploded on the railway bridge. North Korea's passage to Mukden Province was temporarily interrupted, and there was no possibility of building a railway bridge in a short period of time.

The Kwantung Army was dazed by a series of big moves by the Northwest Army, and even if the Japanese army was stupid, they knew that this series of coincidences was not accidental. However, soon the Kwantung Army Command got the news that Qiao Jun had defected by plane. A thunderous Umezu Mijiro vows to kill this traitor alive. Two squadrons of Hayabusa fighters were immediately dispatched to pursue them. It's just that the few fighters of the Japanese army soon encountered the Qianlong 3 squadron in the northwest.

Qiao Jun successfully landed at the airfield controlled by the Northwest Army, and brought a lot of information about Unit 731, as well as a lot of information about the Eastern Army and the General Staff Headquarters, as well as a detailed defense map of the Japanese army on the Fengtian Front.

Relying on this precious information, the Northwest Air Force destroyed several oil and ammunition depots hidden by the Japanese army as if they had eyes. Coupled with the previously destroyed supplies, the ammunition of the seven or eight hundred thousand Kwantung Army once dropped to a very dangerous level.

The defection of Qiao Jun, who served as the deputy chief of the Japanese army headquarters and the chief of the general staff of the Kwantung Army, was praised by Britain and the United States and other powers as the most valuable rebellion in the history of war. With a frantic rush to open up the situation in the Northeast. The use of various joint tactics, such as the use of countermeasures, the explosion of special forces, the bombing of ports by air forces, and the sudden landing of paratroopers, were also praised by Britain and the United States, even if the German generals who received the news at this time, as classic examples in the history of world warfare, and they were also the pinnacle of the development of intelligence warfare, special forces operations, aviation, and armored forces operations to modern joint applications.

More than 800,000 Kwantung Army, a huge number of troops, a number that can make both British and American forces in Southeast Asia fearful, also means huge consumption. Since the Northwest Army was in western Liaoning at this time, southern Liaoning had gained a firm foothold. The Northwest Army was not in a hurry to join forces with the Japanese.

More than 800 Zephyr bombers maintained a high degree of attendance, and more than 400 Huamao ground attack planes attacked all threatening targets of the Japanese army in Mukden Province as long as the weather permitted, and the role of the aviation unit in the war was used to the extreme by Gao Zhihang.

More than 800,000 Kwantung troops were cut off from the main supply channels of Xiangluda, Xiangfengcheng, and Dandong, and even if they were all withdrawn at this time, it became a luxury. Like the more than 50,000 Japanese troops in Shanxi before, the ammunition of the Kwantung Army at this time was getting less and less, and the number of troops was getting smaller and smaller, while the Northwest Army, which was pouring into the northeast, had more and more tanks and planes.

In the Northeast, the overall situation has been decided. The more than 30,000 Japanese troops in Beiping were still struggling to support themselves, but their original beliefs had collapsed. When Jiangsu was recovered, Feng Yong transferred a group of technical backbones to detour to India, and traveled tens of thousands of miles to the original Jiangnan shipyard site, and began to pull things around, trying to restore the production of Jiangnan shipyard. It has injected new vitality into the shipbuilding industry of the Republic of China.

At the beginning of the counteroffensive in the northeast, the offensive of the Northwest Army was like a shock, but after making a lot of progress, the speed of the Northwest Army became sluggish, and the only frequent activity was the air force that came and went. Boiling frogs in warm water tormented more than 800,000 Kwantung Army. In fact, while the overall situation in the northeast has been decided, the attention of the northwest has shifted to the south. The main forces of the two group armies of Zhang Zhibang and Zhao Tieshu invaded the whole territory of Anhui and Jiangsu, recovered Nanjing and Shanghai, and spread to some areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. In 1943, this year, was destined to have epoch-making significance for the Republic of China, at the end of the year, more than 800,000 Kwantung Army, in the case of a serious shortage of supplies, ammunition was seriously lacking. More than 160,000 people were killed in the battle, more than 100,000 people crossed mountains and mountains, or entered northern Korea by small boats, the Japanese troops in Lushun Dalian withdrew by boat, and more than 500,000 people were forced to land unconditionally in the northeast because they were bitten by the Northwest Army. More than 30,000 Japanese troops, who had been struggling to hold out in Beijing, lost their last faith and surrendered on November 7. Beiping was not baptized by fire and recovered peacefully. Although the Japanese army in China suffered a heavy defeat, the Japanese army in Southeast Asia was greatly increased after the complete withdrawal from the Republic of China.

As a result, Britain and the United States, which were fighting in Southeast Asia, fought quite hard. Despite repeated urging by Britain and the United States, they made up their minds in the northwest to resolve internal contradictions first, and rejected the invitation of the Soviet Union and Britain and the United States to send troops. The attitude of the Northwest Army gave Germany a glimmer of hope for victory, but Germany's request to send troops to attack the Soviet Far East was also denied. However, because the pressure of the Japanese army has been reduced a lot on the whole, the pressure on Germany is even greater, but at this time Germany got an inexplicable information, in the north of Germany, there are several oil deposits of varying reserves, with the attitude of preferring to believe it, German geologists after repeated surveys, actually found a few oil deposits, which made Germany, which is increasingly scarce in war resources, another shot in the arm.

In February of the following year, the leader announced that Beiping would be changed to Beijing, and the capital would be Beijing, which had grown to more than 4 million people, more than 4,300 planes of all kinds, including more than 160 Qianlong fighters, more than 3,500 tanks and assault guns, and tens of thousands of artillery pieces of various guns. Yunnan Longyun announced that it had joined the red forces. Gui Jun announced that he had changed to the Red Forces. In April, Yang Hucheng's group army was stationed in Guangzhou. The Republic of China, which had been divided for many years, was initially unified.

In May, the leader changed the name of the country to the People's Republic of China, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent a telegram to the Soviet Union, demanding that it fulfill the promise made by Lenin, the revolutionary forefather, to return the vast territory occupied by Tsarist Russia in China. At the same time, the 18th Group Army officially entered Outer Mongolia and set foot on this land that had been divided for many years. The movements of the PLA once caused panic among the allies. Although China's industrial strength was not strong at this time, it had the most powerful armored forces in the Far East, the most hard-working soldiers, the most advanced, and the only country equipped with jet fighters on a large scale at this time. It also has the unparalleled manpower advantage of this era, and the unified China * country in the war defeated the Japanese government, showing strong national cohesion. While the Allied forces in Southeast Asia were successively blocked before the Japanese army, the Northwest Army swept away the 1 million Japanese troops on the mainland with a thunderous force.

For a time, the envoys of the allies and Germany gathered in Beijing. The Soviet Union was even more frightened, after the Japanese army went south, Stalin sent the elite of the Far Eastern Army to the European battlefield, and the Far East at this time was extremely weak for the Soviet Union. Now there is a threat that is more aimed than the Japanese army, and once it strikes in the Far East, the Soviet Union will be completely caught in the dilemma of fighting on two fronts. In terms of the combat strength and war potential of the army and air force, the strength displayed by the Northwest Army has far surpassed that of Japan. For Germany at this time, the importance of China has even surpassed that of Japan.

In view of the important position of China in the Far East, and even more so between the Axis powers and the allies, the success or failure of the Soviet-German war could be directly determined. Britain and the United States do not want to offend China at this time, otherwise even if China withdraws its troops to fight in Burma, Britain and the United States will have considerable pressure to hold India.
