Chapter 1143: Storm (Subscription Requested!) , ask for a monthly pass, ask for everything! ）

Soon, Ma Zheng, who was in Chengde, received a call from an intelligence officer. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

After reading the telegram, Ma Zheng was ecstatic, after more than 20 days of fighting, the little devil finally couldn't hold on.

According to Ma Zheng's estimate, the Japanese army should have about 20 infantry divisions stationed in the northeast, and there are about 15 independent mixed brigades, which should add up to about 400,000 troops, which is the absolute main force of the Japanese Kwantung Army and is the elite.

In addition, the Kwantung Army stationed a large number of elite coastal troops in Lushun Fortress and Dalian and other port industries, plus nearly 100,000 troops such as chariots, artillery, air force, and navy, and the Kwantung Army's field troops that really threatened the Saibei Corps directly broke through the 500,000 army.

The rest are the directly subordinate units of the Kwantung Army, such as the police, gendarmes, and intelligence officers, etc., plus various armed forces controlled by logistics and supply, railways, transportation, coastal patrols, etc., and finally constitute the current armed force of about 600,000 in the Kwantung Army.

In addition, there were nearly 200,000 Wehrmacht troops in the northeast of Manchukuo, including the army and navy, and a small air force, which, together with the 600,000 Japanese troops, constituted a behemoth of 800,000 in the Kwantung Army.

Among the 800,000 troops, the Kwantung Army Command can now use no more than 400,000, because the troops stationed in Lushun and along the Ussuri River must strictly guard against the sneak attack of the Soviets, the total number of these troops should be about 200,000, and 100,000 reserve troops are also prepared, so the Saibei Corps actually has to deal with these 400,000 troops this time.

According to the information obtained so far, the Japanese army has deployed more than 10 infantry divisions in the South Manchurian region, and the total strength should be more than 250,000.

Similarly, the total strength of the Japanese army on the Shuangliao front is also more than 50,000 or 60,000, plus this batch of at least 80,000 elite infantry, so it can be judged that the elite Japanese army on the front line has reached nearly 150,000. Coupled with the troops on the front line of Baicheng, the total strength of the Japanese puppet army on this line reached a small 200,000, and then counting the 250,000 troops in South Manchuria and the 200,000 troops monitoring the Soviet Union, the Kwantung Army was basically equivalent to the elite exhausted.

Now the Japanese army has mobilized troops from the rear to come to reinforcements, which is exactly what Ma Zheng wants to see. Just wait for the Japanese army to transfer all the garrisons in the North Manchurian region to the front line of Shuangliao and Baicheng, then things will be easy to do.

However, Ma Zheng knew that it was still almost hot, although the Japanese army had been mobilized, but it had not yet reached the point of chaos, and it was necessary to increase the fire.

Immediately, Ma Zheng immediately ordered the troops on the front line of Baicheng to divide into two routes, one to continue to fight the Japanese army in Baicheng, and the other to bypass Baicheng and directly attack the Yaonan area.

Ma Zheng's subordinates exerted their strength again, which suddenly made the Kwantung Army feel the pressure. Immediately, the staff officers of the Kwantung Army Headquarters conducted a sand table exercise overnight, and the result made General Yamada Otosan fiercely startled, as long as Ma Zheng's department could withstand the casualties of more than 10 infantry divisions and 15 infantry divisions, then the entire Manchurian defense line would collapse on the entire line, and even the western Liaoning region would fall into the hands of Ma Zheng's department.

According to the intelligence collected by the intelligence department, the army of Ma Zheng's division in China also has at least 30 infantry divisions and a large number of technical troops. With Ma Zheng's fighting spirit in the past two years, he may not dare to exchange 15 infantry divisions for the entire Manchuria.

What's more, there is now evidence that the Chinese and the Russians were mixed up, and even secretly reached some kind of tacit understanding or agreement. It is not guaranteed that when Ma Zheng's troops attack Manchuria, the Russians will also stick sideways, if that is the case, then the problem will be serious.

Now the Japanese Empire is a little powerless to deal with the rebels in Tubalu and Manchuria, and it can still compete with the Russians, and once these three forces really unite, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Fortunately, the situation transmitted from the direction of North Manchuria was not bad, and the Russians showed no signs of moving, and they did not even strengthen their vigilance, but took the initiative to retreat the defense line back for 20 kilometers, as if they were expressing their sincerity to the Japanese Empire, saying that they would not interfere in the war between the Empire and Ma Zheng's department.

The Russians dispelled Yamada's concerns with their actions, and soon General Yamada Otozo transferred two more infantry divisions from the North Manchurian region to the south to supplement the defense area near Xinjing.

The fighting in the northeast continues, and it continues to escalate, and both sides continue to increase their troops to the front.

Judging from the map, almost all of the border lines in the entire Northeast Connecting Pass are fighting, from Baicheng in the north to Shanhaiguan in the south, not to mention thousands of miles of beacon smoke.

The Party Central Committee has become accustomed to such a large-scale campaign launched by the Saibei Corps, although Ma Zheng reported his battle plan to the Party Central Committee every time in accordance with the procedure. But almost every time it is the same, that is, the battle plan he reported to the central government and the battle that follows are almost two versions.

Taking this time as an example, Ma Zheng elaborated his strategic concept in the battle plan submitted to the Party Central Committee, which is almost exactly the same as what the Saibei Corps is doing now.

According to the battle plan, the Northern Saibei Corps will invest a maximum of 200,000 troops, but now this scale is not something that can be completed by one 200,000, and according to this posture, at least two 200,000 or even three 200,000 can be dispatched.

The central government chose to remain silent about this, because at this time, the central high-level leaders already had such a consensus, that is, Ma Zheng, a general, could not be used by ordinary people, and everything he did was very meaningful.

At that time, I may not have seen anything, and sometimes I even felt that he was young and proud, and a little stupid. But when the time came, I was surprised to find that the pit had been dug for a long time, waiting for the enemy to get in.

The most important thing is that almost everyone knows that Ma Zheng is a very pure nationalist and an admirer of China's supremacy, as long as it is beneficial to the country and the nation, he will do it, and he will generally not look at his own affairs, and he has never pretended to be public and private.

In addition, Ma Zheng is a little scoundrel personally, generally speaking, he only takes advantage and does not suffer losses, so as long as he does it, he will definitely not be able to suffer losses, and the central government will let it go.

In fact, according to the meaning of the central government, the Saibei Corps should not fight with the Kwantung Army at this time, and it is best to have the Pingjin area go south to clean up the lost dog of the North China Front.

In the eyes of the princes of Yan'an, no matter how powerful the Kwantung Army is, the Soviets will drag it, and there is no need to worry about the Kwantung Army entering the customs to fight.

The Saibei Corps has already made significant progress in Shandong, and after Dezhou is captured, the Saibei Corps will have a springboard to attack Jinan and fully occupy Shandong. With the current strength of the Northern Saibei Corps, it is possible to take Shandong with a maximum of 200,000 troops.

However, Ma Zheng's own meaning is very clear, that is, he wants to fight the Northeast first. The reason is also very good, but in any case, Ma Zheng's intentions and the instructions of the central government obviously conflicted, but fortunately, Ma Zheng had the support of the chairman, so the army chose to go east instead of south.

Fortunately, Ma Zheng did not live up to the expectations of the chairman and others, and achieved a great victory in Shuangliao just a few days after the start of the war, which made the leaders of the central government very satisfied.

Stalin was very satisfied with the performance of Ma Zheng, a young Chinese comrade, and when the Red Army Command in the Far East reported to the Kremlin in Moscow the progress of the battle between the Northern Serbian Corps and the Japanese Kwantung Army, Stalin himself was proud of his insight into the hero.

At the same time, Stalin did not expect that Ma Zheng really did it, it seems that in front of the Chinese, the powerful Kwantung Army is as fragile as paper paste, and now even he himself has an urge to send troops to the northeast.

According to the intelligence from the front, although the Japanese have an advantage in terms of troops, plus the troops of the puppet Manchukuo, the Japanese have at least more than 850,000 armed forces, and Ma Zheng is obviously inferior to the Japanese in terms of numbers. However, judging from the situation of the battle, the Northern Saibei Corps clearly had the upper hand.

Moreover, Stalin had almost seen the anxious appearance of the Japanese, and he believed that as long as the Soviet Red Army immediately moved south, there should not be much problem in completely annihilating the Kwantung Army.

But as the head of a country, he did not dare to gamble with the fate of the country until the situation in Europe was completely clear. The total annihilation of the Kwantung Army and the complete removal of the military threat from the Far East is certainly an irresistible temptation, but it is far from the security of the entire country.

However, Stalin knew that he could secretly help a group of Chinese and make some trouble for the Japanese. By the unanimous decision of the Soviet Military Council, 50 military trains and 200 transport planes were mobilized to help Ma Zheng's troops be transferred, and at the same time, the Red Army of the Far Eastern Military District supported Ma Zheng's troops with 300 tons of food, 200 tons of ammunition and 3,000 horses.

With the assistance of the Soviets, Xu Hu's 80,000-strong army bypassed Outer Mongolia and the entire Far East, and was rapidly approaching Jiamusi, Qitaihe and other places in the North Manchurian region, and a real storm was coming.
