[The King of the Iron Soldiers of the Anti-Japanese Resistance] Chapter 132: The surprise of the generals of the Mongolian army

The meeting of generals of the headquarters of the Mongolian army is still going on, and after the applause, the harem Chun will continue to say: "Whether it is the North China Front Army or the Central China Front Army, they are both expanding their territory and conquering cities, but only our Mongolian army is standing still. What's more, it's a great shame that we can't even protect our own commanders. ”

"Now that more than a month has passed since the Battle of Zhangjiakou, and the body of His Excellency Hasunuma Pan is still on display as a trophy in the Second War Zone of China, and more than 1,000 imperial expatriates are being imprisoned in the occupied area of the Ma Zheng Department of China, so there are serious doubts about the combat effectiveness of our army in China. So please remember that this is a shame for all of us in the Mongolian army! And shame can only be washed away with the blood and heads of the enemy, so the purpose of this meeting is how to disgrace! ”

"Hay!" As soon as Lieutenant General Harem Chun's voice fell, all the generals immediately stood up and said loudly.

"In many major battles, including the Battle of Fengzhen, the Battle of Yama Mountain, the Battle of Tianzhen Yangyuan, the Battle of Jining, and the Battle of Zhangjiakou, this Eighth Route of China, which we once did not pay attention to, has caused extremely heavy losses to the imperial army, and so far there are no less than 8,000 imperial warriors killed or wounded in the hands of Ma Zheng's department, including a lieutenant general commander."

Then Harem Jun continued: "This is only the loss of the imperial army, and the loss of the imperial army is even greater!" Why is this Tubalu army so strong, aren't they the army of the Zhina? Obviously not, summing up the previous operations against the department, we will obviously find a problem, that is, we will always despise the enemy, to put it bluntly, we have not figured out the strength of Ma Zheng's department at all. ”

"More than 2,000 years ago, the great military strategist Sun Tzu once said a very reasonable sentence: Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles! This means that if you have a thorough understanding of the situation on both sides, you will not be in danger of fighting a battle. The failure of the imperial army was that it did not understand the situation of Ma Zheng's department in a timely and accurate manner, so it caused today's predicament. That's why I'm going to invite Miss Sato over, so I'll ask Miss Sato to tell us the details of Ma Zheng's department. ”

Aiko Sato looked around coldly and arrogantly at the generals present, and then said loudly: "Ma Zheng, male, Chinese (Han) nationality, 28 years old, from Ruijin, Jiangxi. He participated in the strategic retreat of what the GD called the Long March in China, and served as the commander of the first battalion of the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army after the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War. ”

"Ma Zheng's division first appeared in the field of vision of the imperial military department at the end of the 12th year of Showa, when His Excellency Sakai Hoji's independent mixed 1st Brigade defeated a battalion-sized Tohachi Road in the area north of Datong, severely damaged the department, killed and captured more than 370 people, and it was later verified that the first battalion of Ma Zheng's teaching regiment was severely damaged. But what is surprising is that in less than a month, Ma Zheng's unit appeared in the field of vision of the first brigade of independent mixed formation, and this time the unit with a powerful attack capability repeatedly attacked Fengzhen County and Hongshaba, an important transportation hub. ”

At the beginning of this year, Commander Terauchi Shouichi launched a comprehensive sweep of the Eighth Route Army troops in the Wutai Mountain area, Ma Zheng in order to rescue the Eighth Route Army in the Wutai Mountain area, led his troops to attack the south, two battles and two victories, and broke through two county towns in just a few days, killing more than 4,000 people in our army. At this time, Ma Zheng was already the head of the anti-Japanese guerrilla detachment in southern China. ”

Aiko Sato continued with a sigh of relief: "Since then, Ma Zheng's headquarters has been valued by the National Government of China, and the army has been rapidly expanded into a brigade-level military unit. However, according to the post-mortem investigation, Ma Zheng's so-called brigade actually far exceeded the establishment of a brigade-level military unit of the Chinese army. After that, His Excellency Commander Terauchi Shouichi and His Excellency Hasunuma Pan of the Mongolian Army sent two wings of the Imperial Army and four cavalry divisions of the Imperial Allied Army to besiege Ma Zheng's headquarters, but unfortunately because they had too little knowledge of the enemy's situation, this military operation was defeated, and the four cavalry divisions of the Imperial Allied Army were mysteriously annihilated, and only a small number of people escaped. ”

"What really shocked the people was the Battle of Zhangjiakou a month ago, in which almost all the troops stationed in Mongolia were dispatched, and as a result, His Excellency Liannuma Pan was killed in battle and martyred, and at the same time Zhangjiakou fell, and the troops stationed in Mongolia suffered heavy losses. The most recent action of Ma Zheng's headquarters was to reinforce the army in the northwest of Jin, and it was to serve Ma Zheng's headquarters quietly marched thousands of miles, completely annihilating more than 2,300 imperial troops and more than 3,400 imperial army. ”

In the end, Aiko Sato concluded: "According to the investigation of our special high school, we know that there are at least four infantry regiments, two or three cavalry regiments in Ma Zheng's department, and there is also a considerable artillery unit, and the total strength of Ma Zheng's department is conservatively estimated to be between 13,000 and 16,000 people. The territories directly controlled by the ministry included Xinghe, Chahar Right Wing Early, Fengzhen, Jining, Shangdu, Zhuozishan, Shangyi and other areas, and in fact Ma Zheng's department had already formally cut off the Pingsui Railway. ”

After listening to Aiko Sato's narration, a group of generals in the conference room were stunned, most of them had just been transferred to the battle sequence of the Mongolian army in other battlefields, and in fact they had not fought with Ma Zheng's department, and of course they didn't know the glorious achievements of Ma Zheng's department. Based on some bits and pieces of information that I got by chance, I only knew that there was a resistance force with good combat effectiveness in the area under the jurisdiction of the garrison in Mongolia, and the commander was called Ma Zheng, and the headquarters of the garrison in Mongolia was disgraced.

As for how strong this resistance force is, how many troops it has, what kind of weapons and equipment, and how strong the commander's tactical command ability is, these generals are all unknown. Moreover, with their usual pride and arrogance, when they learned that the Mongolian army had been beaten by a dirt road and lost their armor, almost all the generals would laugh at the incompetence of the Mongolian army.

But now they have also been assigned to the battle sequence of the Mongolian army, and they are deployed by the Mongolian army headquarters, and they finally know what a formidable opponent they will face.

13,400 people is equivalent to two ordinary infantry divisions in China, and what is particularly amazing is that this Tubalu not only has a large number of cavalry and artillery, but also has the combat effectiveness to annihilate the 10,000 Emperor's Allied Army at the same time, which is really surprising, and even the always arrogant Nakajima Imasago has a strong interest in this Tubalu.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the general situation is like this, now the front army has held talks with Yan Xishan in the second war zone on the matter of the body of His Excellency Liannuma Pan, and under the condition that the front army has made a commitment not to attack the northwest of Jin and supports part of the weapons and equipment of Yan Xishan's department, Yan Xishan has agreed to return the body of His Excellency Liannuma Pan to the front army, so the only enemy of our department now is the Tubalu Ma Zheng Division!" Harem Jun said categorically.

At this time, the new commander of the 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade Regiment, Major General Shigetoku Kuroda, said loudly: "Your Excellency, Commander, the previous reason for being taken by the people of China was entirely due to the serious shortage of troops in the front army. I think that our military defense area in Mongolia includes all of Suiyuan and Chahar provinces, as well as some parts of Rehe, Shanxi, and Hebei, and the territory is wider than any other front army. ”

"But such a vast defense area only has the strength of one division plus one brigade, and the Imperial Cooperative Army is only forty or fifty thousand. In addition to defending such a vast defense area, it is also necessary to protect the more than 1,000-kilometer-long Pingsui Railway, and it is also necessary to organize troops to attack the Chinese army in Suixi. ”

Then Kuroda Shigetoku changed his voice and said: "However, the situation is different now, with the addition of the cavalry group and the 16th division, the front army has as many as two infantry divisions, one mixed brigade, five independent infantry brigades, and one cavalry group, with a total strength of 60,000 troops. In addition, the Imperial Association Army still has three cavalry divisions, and five divisions will be formed soon, with a total strength of more than 80,000 people. ”

"Therefore, our department has an absolute advantage in terms of troops, and I think that it is time to correct the name of the front army, so please give the order to Your Excellency the Commander! The mighty Imperial Army of Japan will wash away the shame they have imposed on the Imperial Army with the heads and blood of the Shina people! ”

Kuroda Shigetoku is Harem Chun's right-hand man, although this person is arrogant and arrogant, but Harem Chun still values him very much, and immediately said with satisfaction when he heard the words: "Yo Xi! Kuroda-kun's analysis makes sense, what do you think, Miss Sato? ”
