Chapter 201 Fight the Nenjiang Bridge again
Later, when the army learned that the supply route of the Yan and Huang Army had been opened in the Soviet Union again, they vigorously protested against the Soviet political axe's move and warned the Soviet Union not to do anything that would affect the harmonious relations between the two sides.
The Soviet political axe said that the Soviet Union's agreement to the Yan and Huang Army's opening of supply lines in the Soviet Union was a matter that had been negotiated before 918, and that the Japanese army and the Yan and Huang Army had not fought each other at that time, and now if the Soviet Union unilaterally breaks the treaty, I am afraid that it will suffer heavy compensation losses and seriously affect the credibility of the Soviet political axe.
Of course, he knew that this was an excuse for the Soviets, and they still wanted to use the combat power of the Yanhuang Army to contain the footsteps of the Yue Army. Now that the Yan and Huang Army have not been eliminated, the army does not want to make enemies with the Soviet Union at this time, and while continuing to make representations, it has begun to carry out a new round of deployment.
In mid-April 1934, with the help of Hulunbuir's victory, the army began to attack Suihua City, the two sides fought for more than 20 days, most of the southern part of Suihua was occupied by the army, in mid-May, the army mobilized heavy troops to attack Daqing and Qiqihar, in the west and south of Qiqihar there are six divisions of the army, in the south and east of Daqing, there are seven divisions of the army, these two parts of the army combined, almost the absolute main force of the army to invade China.
In the face of the heavy pressure of the Yue army, the Yan and Huang Army and the Northeast Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army were also solemnly waiting, and the Anti-Allied Army and the Anti-Japanese Union also vigorously carried out activities to maintain pressure on the rear of the Yue Army and support the defense of Heilongjiang.
In the face of an extremely difficult battle, the cabinet and the military department have some differences, do not fight to the death with the Yan and Huang army, just trap it, and find another way to negotiate with it, and the two sides will divide the land to wait for a favorable opportunity to be exterminated.
However, the military headquarters did not agree with this suggestion, declaring that it was necessary to be strong against the Chinese, so that it could preserve its own victory and continue to expand its results, and could further enhance the people's confidence in building a greater East Asia co-prosperity sphere.
In view of the dissent of the cabinet, the military department secretly ordered the commander of the Kwantung Army, Muto Nobuyoshi, to end the war in Heilongjiang as soon as possible, so as to silence the weak people in the country, and to promote the determination of the great empire to be the strongest force and establish a greater East Asia co-prosperity sphere.
Muto Nobuyoshi also felt that it was not a matter to surround the Yanhuang Army all the time, and the Soviets were sticking in the back, and they did not surround the Yanhuang Army to death at all, and it was just a superfluous move to continue to surround them.
Compared with Daqing, the Kwantung Army Headquarters tends to fight Qiqihar first, first, because Qiqihar is the capital of Heilongjiang Province, and second, the Northeast Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army is weaker than the Yanhuang Army, and many of their materials have to rely on the Yanhuang Army to fund, and the combat power is naturally not as good as the Yanhuang Army, third, Qiqihar has an army of 150,000, while Daqing has nearly 200,000 Yanhuang Army, and the protective force is much stronger than Qiqihar.
After the strategic goal was completed, the Yue army focused on Qiqihar, and this time, the Yue army did not plan to take the Nenjiang Bridge as the main attack, but instead broke into Qiqihar from Xing'an from the west from Xiaosongyuan.
Xiao Matsubara cut off the supply line of the Yan and Huang Army in Hulunbuir, and was treated as a hero by the army, and now, the army is to use a large number of heroes to cover up the impact of Takekawa Masao's surrender, Xiao Matsubara went up at the right time, and he couldn't become a hero, this time, the army used this hero to play the vanguard, and directly attacked Qiqihar from the west, because the defense area of Qiqihar is very large, the main forces are also concentrated in the middle, and the army gathered together to attack a certain point, and actually made Xiao Songyuan advance by leaps and bounds for a while, A large area in the western part of Qi was captured by the Yue army.
By the end of June, the vanguard of the Chinese army had occupied Longjiang County, which seriously threatened the defense of Qiqihar.
The Yan and Huang Army urgently dispatched 50,000 men for reinforcements, and Chen Bingnan personally led the troops to Qiqihar, and the Qiqihar defense force increased to nearly 200,000.
At the same time, the army also launched an attack from Tailai County in the south of Qiqihar, once, it was this place that let the souls of countless soldiers of the Great Imperial Empire return to other places, and now, the Great Imperial Army is going to fight back, and this time, there will never be the same situation as last time, because this time the leader of the army is the commander of the Sixth Division who successfully escaped last time, Lieutenant General Sakamoto Masaemon, after so long, the shadow of the failure of the last battle has been erased by him a lot, and now he is regrouping and drumming, and he is washing the shame.
Although the army was full of confidence this time, but the battle of Yanjiang Bridge obviously had an indelible shadow on them, this attack on Tailai County, the army put all the three divisions in the south of Qiqihar at once, and the new group of Kawashima Yoshiko's 50,000 An [***] also put in, one of the divisions slowly ran to the east, strictly preventing the surprise attack of the Yan and Huang Army in Daqing, and the other two divisions rushed all the way, step by step, An [***] immediately controlled the area laid down by the Yue army, and included it in the territory of Manchuriato help the army stabilize the rear.
Kawashima Yoshiko asked for battle more than once, but the army obviously did not believe in the combat effectiveness of the puppet army, and in such a critical battle, they did not want it to affect the combat confidence of the army, although they believed in Kawashima Yoshiko's ability, they really did not dare to take this risk.
By the middle of July, the army finally hit the Nenjiang Bridge in Tailai County, a place that they will remember for the rest of their lives, the army was much more cautious, first built a large number of fortifications, while resting, while stockpiling supplies, all the things that need to be prepared are ready, as if this battle is a large-scale war, although the last time the defeat here, it seems that the army is not nothing, at least learn to be cautious, let go of some pride.
Sakamoto Masaemon first communicated with Komatsubara, and asked him to send a part of his troops south to put pressure on the defenders of the Nenjiang Bridge, and then he led the remaining troops to take this place in one fell swoop.
Komatsubara agreed with his suggestion, after all, he could not defeat Qiqihar by himself, and only by closely cooperating with the two sides could he fully exert the combat power of the soldiers of the Great Empire, so Komatsubara immediately drew out one division of troops to go south, and the other two divisions continued to be nailed to Longjiang County to deter the Qiqihar defenders.
Sakamoto Masaemon also made corresponding arrangements, sending four wings of troops around the shallow area upstream to force a breakthrough, and the rest of the troops attacked the defenders in the front.
There are 50,000 defenders of Nenjiang Bridge, led by Lieutenant General Yao Hongbing, last time, it was he who annihilated a lot of the army here, but he was not complacent about it, this time it was different, the army was fully prepared, both in personnel and firepower, it was strengthened, so this battle could not be slackened in the slightest.
Yao Hongbing also learned that Xiao Songyuan had sent a division of troops to rush to the side, so he drew out the strength of two divisions and placed them at Beijia Station, and formed several defensive lines in the area of Daheiwan to block the advance of the army.
On July 20, the two sides had been fighting on the Nenjiang Bridge for a week, and the wide railway bridge was covered with a thick layer of corpses, all of which belonged to the Japanese army, because the Japanese army was the attacking side, and the defenders were only guarding the bridgehead over there.
After a long attack, Sakamoto Masaemon was angry and sent ten Type 89 tanks to fight again, and Yao Hongbing was not to be outdone, and sent eight Soviet-style T-26 tanks supported by the Yanhuang Army to fight, which made Xiao Yuben have a headache, because the Type 89 tank was obviously a grade behind the T-26, and it was impossible to open the gap of the defenders, because of this roadblock, which made the army hate the Soviets.
Although the Soviets sold a lot of rotten guys to Yan Huang, they also wanted to make good use of Yan Huang's strength, try to let them kill their own surname, and kill more and wound better, like the heavy weapons that the Yan and Huang Army were extremely lacking, the Soviet Union still sold some of them to them, but the asking price was not cheap, Wei Chendong secretly wrote down this account, but on the surface he still looked like a person with nothing to do.
Since the "......" had a longer range than the Japanese tank, the T-26 fired first.
