In order to respond to or cooperate with the war of the Soviet Far East Army in Nomenhan, He Zhengdao finally decided to start a campaign to recover the entire territory of Rehe in advance. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoIf Chaoyang and Jinxi can be recovered in advance, it will also play a very important role in the later battles.

At present, Shanhaiguan has been recovered, and there is one more passage to the northeast. In addition to the Chifeng area that was recovered earlier, the Northeast Field Army, which is now being reorganized, also has the advantage of attacking the Northeast from anywhere.

However, in He Zhengdao's view, if the Chaoyang region, Jinxi, and even the Tongliao region, which are still controlled by the Kwantung Army, are not recovered, they will also pose a certain threat to the follow-up troops attacking Mukden and other places.

Since this time the Soviet Union took the initiative to express the hope that the Eighth Route Army would respond to it, it was impossible for the public and private Eighth Route Army to sit idly by. After all, in the eyes of many people, the Soviet Union is still the big brother of the Eighth Route Army!

It's rare for Big Brother to speak once, how can the Eighth Route Army sit idly by?

Another reason why He Zhengdao is willing to help the field is also that he hopes that before the Soviet Union signs a 'non-aggression pact' with the little devils, it can expand the control area of the Northeast Field Army as much as possible, so as to provide strategic depth for the subsequent confrontation with the Kwantung Army.

In the final analysis, at present, only with the strength of the Northeast Field Army, if he wants to fight against the Kwantung Army, which is open to the game, He Zhengdao still feels that his strength is lacking. In this case, falling into the well is undoubtedly the best choice.

Taking advantage of the fact that the elite of the Soviet Far Eastern Army and the Kwantung Army were playing against each other, He Zhengdao naturally had to seize the time and reap a little more benefits. If you miss this opportunity, you want to have such an opportunity next time, but I'm afraid it's unlikely.

The first column, which was the first to complete the reorganization, also began to make preparations before the attack under the order of He Zhengdao. However, it was not the troops of the first column that acted in advance, but the second column of the East Field that was dominated by cavalry.

Nowadays, the war between the Soviet Far Eastern Army and the Kwantung Army has also continued to expand with the continuous replenishment of their respective troops. Even the Xilin Dunle Alliance, which has been recovered by the Eighth Route Army, has become a place where both armies want to take advantage of it.

But for the suggestion put forward by the Soviet Far East Army, He Zhengdao still chose to refuse. His answer to the Central Committee was that at present, the Northeast Field Army has the ability and strength to hold this place, and will not allow the troops of the Kwantung Army to break through from here.

This means that the troops under his command actually protected the flank security of the Soviet Far East Army. Although the Soviet Far Eastern Army was a little dissatisfied with this refusal and reply, it was not easy to say much.

After the order was issued to encircle and annihilate the Eighth Division, the three cavalry divisions formed earlier quickly assembled in the Xing'an League and the Tongliao area. Including a newly formed infantry division, it also began to take over the defense area of the main force of the first column and the first division.

Faced with the advance of the three cavalry divisions and one infantry division of the Second Column, the troops deployed by the Kwantung Army in the Xing'an League and the Tongliao area immediately became nervous. If the flanks are lost, it is very likely to affect the battle in front of them.

When this information was quickly fed back to the Kwantung Army Headquarters, Mei Xianjimilang, who was having a headache for the battle in Nomenhan, also scolded: "Yaga! These guys who took advantage of the fire to rob also said that they had no contact in private! Yaga! ”

Earlier, the Kwantung Army also questioned the Soviet Far Eastern Army, believing that they were involved in the war between the Kwantung Army and the Eighth Route Army. At the same time, the fact that the Eighth Route Army has been able to achieve such results at present is also inseparable from the support behind the Soviet Union.

But for such a question, the Soviet side naturally denied it. The reason for their launch of the Battle of Nomenhan was that the Kwantung Army had signed a mutual assistance agreement with them for the Outer Mongolian Army, and they only provided protection for the Outer Mongolian Army.

And the reason why the Kwantung Army entered the war was naturally because the puppet Manchurian Army was simply unable to resist the Soviet Far East Army, and the Kwantung Army, as an ally, naturally could not sit idly by. But in the final analysis, the Outer Mongolian Army and the puppet Manchurian Army are actually puppets of the two armies.

'Your Excellency Commander, at present, the Eighth Route Army has dispatched tens of thousands of troops to force into the Xing'an League and the Tongliao area. If we don't give those reinforcements more, I'm afraid that our troops there will be very difficult to stop their breakthrough.

As soon as the flanks are lost, the main forces, which are currently fighting the Far Eastern Army at the front, will face the threat of flank attacks. In order to ensure the security there, should another division be sent over to assist in the defense? ’

Although in recent years, the Kwantung Army has also expanded a lot. But now the Kwantung Army, which is fighting on two fronts, also feels the helplessness of being overstretched for the first time. Even if there are still troops, most of them dare not be easily mobilized!

Looking at the troop deployment map of the defense area, Mei Xianzhi Meilang could only say in the end: "Send an elite division from the Heihe side, and let the Manchurian Army transfer two cavalry regiments over, and we must not let the Eighth Route Army go deeper."

Second, a division was transferred from the Seoul side and asked it to be transferred to the Heihe side. Although it seems quiet at the moment, after the troops deployed there have withdrawn, I am worried that the Far Eastern Army on the other side will make some small moves. ”

After some consideration, Mei Xianjimiro finally chose not to move the garrisons of the other two provinces, but to transfer troops from North Korea to assist in the defense. In the final analysis, the situation on the Chaoxian side is more stable than that in the northeast.

Compared with the North China Front and the Central China Front, if they need to increase their troops, they must obtain the consent of the War Department. But for the Kwantung Army, if their troops are squeezed, they can still squeeze out a lot of troops.

After the troops of the second column went to the border to contain the Japanese puppet army deployed there. The three cavalry divisions, also under the orders of He Zhengdao, began to constantly raid areas that the Japanese puppet army could not fully grasp.

For a time, the situation in the Xing'an League and the Tongliao region suddenly became tense. As for the people in the Northeast, they also learned about the Eighth Route Army as the war continued to break out.

I learned that the troops of the Eighth Route Army have now fought to the Xing'an League and Tongliao, and even Shanhaiguan has been recovered. Many people in the Northeast who originally accepted their fate also began to seem to be moving, feeling that the good days of the little devils would not last long.

The most direct reaction is that the puppet army that was a fox and a fake tiger in the past has become much more polite when dealing with the people. Perhaps these puppet armies also know that there are too many people who really want to harm, and they will inevitably be liquidated by the Eighth Route in the future.

Even the puppet emperor Bo Yi, who was far away in Shengjing, was also very concerned about the war on the front line. After receiving a telegram from the Kwantung Army Headquarters and learning that two more cavalry divisions would be sent over to help in the battle, he also realized that the battle at the front was very unfavorable.

Naturally, he did not dare to refuse the request of the Japanese adviser. After sending the troops, he summoned some Manchu nobles and asked: "Zhong Aiqing, how much do you know about the war on the front line?" Is the Eighth Route Army in the Guannai really so powerful? ”

knows very well that he, the puppet emperor of Manchukuo, once he falls into the hands of the Eighth Route Army, he is afraid that the end will not be too good. In view of this situation, Bo Yi also seemed a little worried, so he wanted to ask the opinions of these elders.

In the face of Bo Yi's inquiry, a prince said: "Your Majesty, I believe that the war on the front line can be solved by the imperial army." At present, the Eighth Route Army dares to attack our territory, which is nothing more than relying on the old Maozi to support them.

As long as the Imperial Army is victorious on the front line, it will be able to free up and clean up these chaotic troops jumping up and down. Although the battle on the front line is somewhat unfavorable, we must have confidence in the imperial army, they will definitely be able to defeat those who are in chaos! ”

These princes, who experienced the fall of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, know very well what will happen to them when they fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army, but they are afraid that they will be more uncomfortable than death. In this case, they could only cling to the thighs of the Kwantung Army for safety.

At least in their opinion, even if the Kwantung Army could not withstand the attack of the Eighth Route Army, they could still survive. The worst is that with the wealth that has been looted and accumulated, if you go abroad to be a rich man or something, you won't lose your life!

But if there is any distraction at the moment, let those intelligence officers of the Kwantung Army know, I am afraid that their lives will really be in danger. Therefore, for the worries revealed by Bo Yi, they naturally have to comfort and comfort more.

Although Bo Yi is the emperor they elected at the moment, any minister of the puppet state of Manchukuo knows that the person who is actually in charge is the Kwantung Army. Even the emperor Bo Yi is also a puppet and microphone supported by the Kwantung Army.

As long as they have any careful thoughts and small actions, once they are known by the Kwantung Army, the end will be miserable. The more they got to this time, the more they had to trust the Kwantung Army, even if they were worried and afraid, at least on the surface, they had to trust the Kwantung Army.

While Bo Yi was worried about the war on the front and the fate of Manchukuo in the future, He Zhengdao appeared on the front line in Pingquan. Regarding his arrival, Li Xiangdong, Wang Tianlin and others actually did not agree.

But they couldn't stand He Zhengdao's insistence, and they could only agree to let He Zhengdao stay on the front line and personally command the next battle. After all, this time the troops used by the Eighth Route Army had a unit that needed to be ordered by He Zhengdao personally.

Looking at the operational staff officers of the temporary headquarters, He Zhengdao looked at his watch and said, "All the troops have arrived at the scheduled attack position, right?" On the little devil's side, are there any new moves? ”

'Report to the commander that the units have entered their intended attack positions and are ready for battle. At present, the little devils have not reacted, and the troops they have deployed on the front line are still on combat readiness as usual. ’

Listening to the answer of the combat staff officer, He Zhengdao also nodded and said: "Okay, let the artillery brigade directly under it start shelling!" The artillery fire of the divisions of the column also joined the shelling. The reconnaissance troops deployed on the front line keep an eye on the movements of the Japanese artillery at any time! ”

'Yes, Commander! ’

As the operational staff conveyed He Zhengdao's order to the artillery division, as well as the divisional artillery regiments deployed in the offensive positions on the front line. The artillery units, which had been waiting for a long time, also began to make final preparations before the shelling.

After everything was ready, he received a telegram from the artillery brigade asking for instructions, He Zhengdao nodded directly and said, "Start shelling!" ”

With He Zhengdao's order, the artillery brigade, which had been assembled again, immediately launched an artillery bombardment on the position of the Eighth Division on the opposite side. Looking at the artillery fire flying in the sky, the Eighth Route Army lying on the front line on standby was very excited.

After all, this is their artillery group, an artillery unit that can really compete with the Japanese division in artillery fire!
