Jilin Province, Changbai Mountain, Laoma Mountain, Hejiatun. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Major General Jin Hongmo, who had been appointed commander of the Seventh Army of the Northeast Group Army, stood in front of the map, his eyes blazing and his expression grim. Under An Yi's strong initiative, all the generals and colonels of the Northeast Army were awarded the corresponding Anjiajun ranks, although the Military Commission of the Nanjing Government and the Ministry of Military Affairs will not recognize it, but it will be recorded in the files of the Anjiajun, and there will be a significant improvement in welfare and treatment, which is also a huge honor.

In this reorganization, Tang Honglei, the former commander of the rescue army, was appointed as the deputy commander of the Northeast Group Army and awarded the rank of lieutenant general of the An Jiajun; Zhang Jie, the former deputy commander of the rescue army, served as the chief of staff of the group army, and An Mingqi served as the director of the first department of the group army, and both of them were awarded the rank of lieutenant general of the An Jiajun.

The headquarters of the group army has a total of 11 infantry divisions under the jurisdiction of the first, second, and third armies, and after the arrival of the 500 generals and colonels sent by Syria again, it will form a instructor, guard, artillery, and armored division directly under the group army. In addition, the Syrian government has also sent 1,000 fresh graduates of the Southwest University of Political Science and Law, the Syrian Institute of Technology, and the South Sichuan Medical College, as well as some teaching equipment, to establish the Northeast Noncommissioned Officer School, the Northeast First College, the Northeast Institute of Technology, and the Northeast Medical College on the basis of the established Jining Noncommissioned Officer School, so as to thoroughly solve the problem of insufficient personnel in the development of the Northeast Group Army.

The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd armies and the units directly under the headquarters of the group army formed the central combat cluster of the Northeast Group Army, which carried out-for-tat guerrilla warfare with the Japanese army based on the mountains and ravines around the Sanjiang Plain and relying on the convenient material support of the Soviet Far East.

The Fifth Division was upgraded to the Fourth Army, and the Sixth Division was upgraded to the Fifth Army, and on this basis, the North Manchurian Army of the Northeast Group Army was formed, with Hu Jiyang serving as the commander of the Lieutenant General, He Yifei, the former commander of the Sixth Division, serving as the deputy commander of the Lieutenant General, and Tang Wen, the chief of staff of the Fifth Division, serving as the chief of staff of the Major General Corps. The North Manchurian Army Corps has six infantry divisions under its jurisdiction, and has the most elite armored divisions and artillery divisions directly under the entire Northeast Group Army. The North Manchurian Army formed the Northern Combat Cluster of the Northeast Group Army, which would make use of the lofty mountains and mountains in the Greater and Lesser Khing'an Mountains to skillfully maneuver with the Japanese army;

The Seventh Division was upgraded to the Sixth Army of the Northeast Group Army, with three infantry divisions under its jurisdiction, Dong Jinming served as the commander of the major general, and carried out guerrilla warfare in the mountains and plains between Changchun, Harbin, and Mudanjiang, sabotaging the economic construction of the Japanese army and containing the vital forces of the Kwantung Army;

Jin Hongmo's Seventh Army and the group army also gave the establishment of three infantry divisions, and the combat area was Changbai Mountain and the surrounding areas, making full use of Jin Hongmo's advantage of fighting guerrilla operations here for a long time and being familiar with the terrain to carry out movement and sabotage warfare, attack the Japanese army's transportation and supply routes, distract the energy of its command organs, and create favorable conditions for the main force to win a decisive victory.

Just as the various units of the Anjia Army were joyfully celebrating the upgrade of their troops, the Japanese troops gathered in Mukden (Shenyang) had launched a rapid offensive.

The thirteen main divisions, twenty-one brigades and a large number of the first army and the puppet Manchurian army rushed back from North China to help, without the slightest hesitation, immediately divided into two routes, the left route army along the South Manchurian railway quickly northward, under the terrifying construction ability of the engineer wing directly under the main brigades and five engineering brigades, the damaged South Manchurian railway was repaired in less than a day, and on the night of the 22nd, the left route army successfully arrived at Xinjing (Changchun), the capital of the puppet Manchukuo, leaving a division and three brigades, and the rest of the troops continued to go north, Urgent support for the North Manchurian war.

The Japanese army on the right side along the Jifeng Railway (Shenyang to Jilin City) ***, although this railway was also damaged by the Seventh Army in many places, but with the help of the Japanese army's large number of main brigades directly under the engineer wing, the first engineer brigade and mechanized auxiliary equipment, like a torrent, rolling forward, in just two days, the road army quickly consolidated the defense of Fushun, Qingyuan, Hailong (now Meihekou City), Panshi and other cities along the railway, and in the case of dominating superior forces, Barbed wire fences and defensive forts were built by engineering units along the railway line.

After the Japanese army entered Jilin City, it did not continue to go north, but quickly plunged into a sweep of the nearby areas, plus the puppet army and the *** army transferred from Korea, a total of 450,000 troops, like a locust, to the mountains and plains between the Jibong Railway and the South Manchurian Railway to carry out a strict sweep of each mountain.

Jin Hongmo looked at the map and secretly shouted, "It's dangerous", if it weren't for the fact that he smelled the wind and decisively pulled the troops back from the Liaobei Plain and the mountainous and hilly areas back to the east of the Jifeng Railway, it is estimated that at this time he would have fallen into the encirclement of the Japanese puppet army with the railway as the pillar, the highway as the chain, and the pillbox as the lock.

Located in the middle of the Jifeng Railway and the map of South Manchuria, the Hadaling, Moli Red Mountain and the Liaohe Plain area, located in the hinterland of the Japanese army's rule, there are a large number of railway and highway networks, and most of the mountains here are small hills of three or one hundred or four meters, which is not conducive to the hiding and transfer of troops.

"Lao Jin, the First Army of the Anti-Japanese Alliance has reported that the Japanese army is strengthening the defense along the Jingtu Line (Changchun-Tumen) railway, obviously trying to adopt the same barrier tactics to trap us. Commander Yang Jingyu asked us about our next move. Major General Hong Yupu, deputy commander of the Seventh Army, strode up to Jin Hongmo and handed over a telegram.

After a cursory glance, Jin Hongmo turned his head to look at his best friend who had followed him for four years in front of him, and asked, "What do you suggest for Boss An and the fourth hall?" ”

Hong Yupu said: "Commander An has every opportunity and will not notice the situation on our local battlefield. Judging from the information we have given back to the secret spies we have planted in the puppet Manchurian army and the Kwantung army, the Japanese army will continue to sort out the mountainous and hilly areas between the Jifeng Railway in northern Liaoning and the South Manchurian railway in detail and rebuild the group tribes. At present, it is the peak of the Japanese army's front, and the fourth hall suggests that we avoid the real and attack the false, and we must not collide with the Japanese army! ”

Jin Hongmo looked up at the map: "The food and materials we plundered in the south are enough to survive the winter, but the Japanese army's Jingtu Railway is like a rope that binds our hands and feet on the main road to communicate with the Soviet Far East. Therefore, even if the Japanese army gathers heavy troops, we must resolutely break the cage of the Japanese army. Lao Hong, you see, the area around the Jingtu Line is steep and mountainous, and the traffic is extremely inconvenient, but it is a good place to fight guerrillas. ”

Hong Yupu smiled: "What, the idea has been decided?" ”

The black and strong Jin Hongmo said coaxingly: "Of course, after following Boss An for so long, if you don't even learn a single strategy from him, my junior brother is too inferior, right?" This time, Lao Tzu gave him a pinching of his head and a broken tail, and attacked the center, so that the devil could understand that I am not a black blind man! ”

"Army commander, deputy army commander, headquarters emergency!"

Colonel Zhu Zhefu, chief of staff of the Seventh Army, who graduated from Jiangnan University of Technology and studied at the Syrian Non-commissioned Officer School, came to the map, handed the telegram to Jin Hongmo, and then picked up the baton and pointed to the line from Jilin City to Tumen:

"The headquarters decided to launch the Battle of the Gyeongtu Railway in the next half month, cut off the communication between the Japanese Gyeongtu Line and the Beixian Line in North Korea, destroy the Japanese army's pillbox groups and trenches, and make our two guerrilla areas closely linked. The initial intention was for the central cluster to mobilize one army to cooperate with our Seventh Army, mobilize a total of more than 60 regiments, flank the north and south, and take any major city in Tumen, Yanji, and Dunhua, strike at the arrogance of the Japanese army, force its main force to divide its troops south, and reduce the pressure on the central cluster of the group army.

"This is what heroes see!"

Hong Yupu listened to Zhu Zhefu's explanation, and his face was full of smiles. Jin Hongmo took the message from Zhu Zhefu's hand, read it carefully, and read out the part that Zhu Zhefu did not tell:

"Another: Yesterday, the 7th Division of the Japanese Army, with the cooperation of more than 40 fighters of its air force, launched a large-scale attack on the line of Daqingbei Mountain on the Binsui Railway. Last night, our troops along the Binsui Railway launched a brave counterattack, and the Japanese Seventh Division fell into the encirclement of our army at Mowhet Town, and only then did it get out of trouble under the response of the 108th Division of the Japanese Army, which arrived urgently. In addition, because the railways and highways on the Tujia Line (Tumen-Jiamusi) were completely destroyed by our army, and at the same time, on the way of the Japanese army to Linkou, our First Army laid mines all over the place, and the 8th and 21st Divisions of the Japanese Army were struggling, and they are still hovering between the Laoyeling Mountains in the north and south of the Wulin River. ”

After reading it, Jin Hongmo praised loudly: "I don't know how Boss An cultivates talents, these young people are full of wisdom and flexible tactics, the original comparison of the strength of the Chinese and Japanese armies seems to be a one-sided situation, and now the little *** is actually dragged to the point of difficulty." I estimate that in ten days and half a month, Xiao *** will not want to enter Linkou County, let alone Jining. Maybe we can keep the Sanjiang Plain area for a long time! ”

Chief of Staff Colonel Zhu Zhefu shook his head: "Army commander, I think the situation is not as optimistic as you think, according to the latest report from the headquarters, Xie Wendong, commander of the Eighth Army of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, surrendered to the enemy yesterday in Jiangjialu, west of Fangzheng County, Zhao Shangzhi's Third Army did not know what was going on, and on the way to the Eighth Army with his troops, he was ambushed by the Japanese Twelfth Division in the Erhongshan area west of Daqing Mountain, and suffered heavy losses.

"Now, with the cooperation of the traitors and the Harbin spies of the Kwantung Army, the Japanese army has firmly controlled the upper reaches of the Songhua River, and it is possible to attack Yilan County in the middle reaches of the Songhua River at any time. Li Yanping, commander of the Fourth Army of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, Wang Guangyu, deputy commander of the Fourth Army, and Li Huatang, commander of the Ninth Army, have urgently asked for help from the headquarters of our group army, and the two divisions of the Third Army of our central cluster have urgently taken a train to Jiamusi via Linkou, striving to rush to Yilan before the arrival of the Japanese army, otherwise the Fourth Army and the Ninth Army of the Anti-Japanese Alliance will not be able to stop the Japanese offensive with a combined force of less than 10,000 guns. ”

"Xie Wendong has defected to the enemy?"

Jin Hongmo was stunned for a while!

In fact, Xie Wendong is a person, Jin Hongmo has long seen that his will to resist Japan is not resolute enough, and his attitude is at both ends of the rat, and he belongs to the kind of villain who steals and cheats, and takes advantage of the advantages and slips away when he encounters a tough battle, but the high-level leaders of the South Manchurian, East Manchurian, Jidong, and Songjiang (North Manchurian) provincial party committees, the Harbin Special Committee, and the Anti-Japanese Federation have always insisted that they should unite all forces to resist Japan and meet Xie Wendong's various non-specific demands, but they turned a blind eye to his passive resistance to Japan, which finally led to today's tragedy.

Hong Yupu suddenly thought of something, glanced around, approached Jin and Zhu, and whispered:

"The Fourth Hall has transferred news that the Moscow side has sent people to Harbin and is contacting various departments of the Anti-Japanese Federation everywhere, and the Harbin secret service of the Kwantung Army has actually been aware of it, but it has turned a blind eye and allowed it to move. As you know, the Red Army in the Far East and Moscow are now in a stalemate, the contradictions are becoming more and more acute, and there will always be an outbreak one day, but our interests are firmly tied to the Red Army in the Far East, and if we were to fight the Japanese invaders, a fire in the backyard would be quite troublesome. ”

Jin Hongmo and Zhu Zhefu glanced at each other and both felt the seriousness of the problem.
