Chapter 176: The battle begins again
A month's time is said to be fast or slow, time flashed in the blink of an eye, saying that he first suffered a loss in the south, and then failed to take advantage of anything in the north, although the Soviet Red Army's losses were greater than the Kwantung Army, but the Kwantung Army could not fight hard with the Soviet Red Army, in other words, he could not fight.
The Soviet Red Army did not want to start a complete war with the Kwantung Army, once the Soviet Union started a war, Germany, which was far away in Europe, would definitely take the opportunity to attack, and the battlefield in China must shrink the front, abandon the original occupation area, and retreat to one or several cities with all its might, so as to ensure that these cities are still in their hands before the war between the Soviet Union and the Soviet Union is over.
It can be said that the war between the Soviet Union and the Soviet Union did not benefit these two countries, but gave China a chance to breathe, and the Soviet side this time fought in the name of the Mongol army, while the Kwantung Army fought in the name of the Manchurian [***] team. It seems that the two sides of the Soviet Union are fighting to the death, but what is announced to the outside world is that Mongolia and Manchuria will fight again.
The two sides fought for a long time at Nomenkan, and the war stopped after each lost tens of thousands of people, and the most commendable thing is that this battle made both sides of the Soviet Union sober up a lot, and said that in addition to being extremely shocked, the Kwantung Army could only strictly order the Kwantung Army to retreat to the garrison and continue to provoke incidents rigorously, and the Soviet side did not expect that there would be such a big loss, although they were not people, but they could not be sent to death in vain, right?
So after the two sides temporarily signed a non-aggression pact, the previous calm was restored. Although the war stopped, neither side reaped any benefits, but the Soviets got the result they wanted, saying that they would not attack the Far East of the Soviet Union in a short time, and that they had also obtained the desired result, and that the Soviets would not interfere in the affairs of the Northeast region. The only thing that made Yue himself unacceptable was that at this critical juncture, the 99th Army in Huaxia actually took the opportunity to occupy five counties in the northeast.
And the most important thing is that the area occupied by the 99th Army is still the West Liaoning Corridor, which is an important passage for the Kwantung Army to enter the customs after the 99th Army, so if the passage is occupied by the 99th Army, then the Kwantung Army can only go by sea if it wants to enter the pass. If it were to go around directly from the west, the 99th Army would probably keep harassing its logistics troops, causing the front-line troops to run out of clothes and ammunition.
Historical events have been repeatedly advanced in advance, after the end of the battle, Ueda Kenkichi was transferred back to the country by the base camp, if nothing else, Ueda Kenkichi's military career should be over, and the most tragic is Isoya Ryosuke, who just took office as the chief of staff of the Northeast Army not long ago, there was such a big thing, in addition to the base camp Ueda Kenkichi was transferred back to the mainland, but also Isoya Ryosuke was transferred back.
The final result was already obvious, Ueda Kenkichi was forced to retire early, Ryosuke Isoya was transferred to the reserve, and Hiranuma resigned, and the battle that took place in the Far East instantly shocked the whole country. And this is just the battle of Nomenkan, about the 99th Army in Jinxi annihilation of nearly 60,000 Kwantung Army (8th and 12th Divisions totaling more than 40,000 people and more than 10,000 people at the beginning of the Western Front, and then pursued and annihilated the enemy. The military department has not yet dared to announce it to the public.
And he also sent the new commander of the Kwantung Army, General Umezu Mijiro, this guy is also a hard stubble, he has been in power for five years in history, not only wantonly oppressed the people of the northeast, but also signed an order to expand the 731 unit, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is notorious.
As soon as he took office, General Umezu Mijiro vowed to crush the 99th Army to pieces, and all those who dared to resist the Great Empire would become a corpse.
"Throne, the latest information from the Intelligence Section." The communications staff officer hurriedly trotted all the way to the military academy with a face on his face, and had to interrupt Su Dao, who was lecturing, and handed Su Dao the information he had just received to Su Dao.
Su Dao gently put the chalk on the lectern and took the information, and the generals and the more than ten student soldiers below looked at Su Dao with puzzled faces, I have to say that after a month of contact, they have even fallen in love with this school a little. Su Dao is right, even if they are given a few years, they may not be able to become a general, let alone lead the troops back to Beiping in person, it is better to teach well here, and when they return to Beiping, they can proudly say that it is my students who have recovered Beiping.
Su Dao looked at the information in his entourage, and the solemn look on his face became deeper and deeper, he didn't expect the Kwantung Army to react so quickly, that Umezu Mijiro had just come to the Northeast, and he dared to send troops to attack Jinxi before he was fully familiar with the situation of the Kwantung Army. Hmph, is it really easy for me to bully the 99th Army?
"Battle map!" Su Dao shouted to the communications staff officer, it is not strange that there is an operational map in the military academy, in the past month, they have deduced countless response plans for the Kwantung Army's attack, in addition to finding a solution for the future war, it is also to let these generals and colonels know more about the way to formulate the plan for the operation of the large corps.
The communications staff officer quickly pulled out a map of the middle and deputy operations from the locker on the side, and immediately Liu Sanpao and others, who were sitting in the front row, immediately stepped forward to help and hung the map on the blackboard. After this month of study, which one here is not itchy to go to the Kwantung Army for training? See if your own learning is really useful.
"The Kwantung Army really can't be idle, doesn't it just want to take advantage of Lao Tzu's recruits before they finish training, Lao Tzu will let you see what it means to take advantage this time." Su Dao cursed in a low voice, and then pointed to the map and continued to speak.
"The 768th Division immediately advanced westward from Suizhong and Qinglong, occupied Chengde, Luanping, Longhua, and Fengning at the fastest speed, and stationed on the spot after the task was completed, strictly preventing the Guannei Army from going out of the customs to fight, the western region is mountainous, and the armored troops are more difficult to march, and they can ask the Air Force for assistance in difficult battles, and the Kwantung Army has just lost nearly 100,000 troops, and morale is low, so let's take advantage of this opportunity to play with them."
"The 767th Division began to advance westward from the area of Xingcheng and Lingnan, occupying the plains, Ningcheng, and enclosures as quickly as possible, and after completing the task, a part of the troops was left to strictly guard against the Kwantung Army in the Jingpeng area, and the rest of the troops immediately advanced to the north and occupied Chifeng and Jianping." Immediately, Su Dao continued to command.
"The 766th Division rushed straight to Jinzhou from Jinxi, knocked out the last fangs of the Kwantung Army in the western Liaoning corridor, completely cut off the land connection between the Kwantung Army and the Guannai, and notified the Air Force to immediately bomb the Kwantung Army barracks near Jinzhou, and do not bomb the city." Finally, Su Dao commanded.
A seemingly important battle arrangement, Su Dao only solved the countermeasures in a few words, except for those officers who had no doubts, the more than ten student soldiers showed disbelief. They were wondering, is Su Dao crazy? The strength of three divisions would dare to launch a large-scale offensive? Are you sure that the opposite side is not the Kwantung Army, but the puppet Manchu army?
Although they have been in the army for more than a month, they have not been in the army once, and their understanding of the 99th Army is not deep enough to retreat. And the reason why Su Dao arranged it this way also stems from his understanding of the above-mentioned areas.
In addition to improving their combat skills, they are also responsible for observing the situation on the ground, and they are even more familiar with the strength of the Kwantung Army in the above-mentioned areas.
As for the danger of dividing troops, it basically means that there is no danger, as long as the 766th Division storms Jinzhou, the Kwantung Army will have to increase its support for Jinzhou, and once the 766th Division successfully captures Jinzhou, and then advances all the way to the north, at that time the Kwantung Army should think about how to stop the advance of the 99th Army, not how to attack the 767th and 768th Divisions.
Of course, if Umezu Mijiro doesn't want to keep his official hat and only thinks about how to eliminate the 99th Army, the above topic is a different matter, and the Kwantung Army, which has an absolute superiority in troops, still has no problem in eliminating the 99th Army. It's a big deal to send the air force directly to bomb Shinkyo, and if you're lucky, you might be able to directly blow up the bastard Umezu Mijiro.
Up to now, Su Dao has finally discovered his greed, as if as long as he starts a war, he must reap some benefits, otherwise he will feel uncomfortable all over, and his appetite will be bigger and bigger every time.
"Military seat, it's not proper, it's not proper, I think it's better for us to concentrate our forces first and start a decisive battle with the Kwantung Army, and after defeating the main force of the Kwantung Army, it is safer to take the opportunity to expand." Wu Zhongguo, who rushed to hear the news, opened his mouth in a panic and stopped.
Wu Zhongguo was teaching those staff officers in the classroom next door, and after hearing the movement here, Wu Zhongguo hurriedly ran over, but Su Dao had already given the task. can only stop Su Dao, while secretly worrying about the purse in the army in his heart.
The last pension had already drained the army, and it was not easy to replenish it, and it was not enough to support the losses of a big war, and if 10,000 people died in the battle, the 99th Army would have to go bankrupt. Therefore, the most important thing is to concentrate forces and reduce damage, at least until the 99th Army is financially rich.
"Haha, I know what you're worried about, but don't worry, there has been news from Germany, the response of the medicine is very good, the German political axe is already planning to purchase a large number of medicines, and there will be new orders at the end of the month at the latest, so we will not be short of money at all." Su Dao laughed, since the new benefits, Wu Zhongguo has become a money fan, no matter what he does, he has to break his fingers to calculate.
'Toot! Honk! Honk! ’
Not long after Su Dao finished arranging the task, there were bursts of rapid whistles in the barracks around the country, and the people in Jinxi City suddenly discovered a problem, the Jinxi Army University, which was originally very lively every day, suddenly became extremely quiet, except for the soldiers standing guard at the door, there was basically no one on the campus, and the classrooms were empty.
The air force also began to take off immediately after receiving the mission, and the air force of the Kwantung Army was so bored that they didn't know where they had gotten to hide, and they couldn't even see a shadow, and once they flew to the airport in Jinzhou to take a look, and found that the entire runway was empty, and they were greeted only by the seemingly weak anti-aircraft firepower.
