Ma Desheng has been in charge of Rehe for half a year, and after more than half a year of understanding, he has a very clear understanding of the situation of the enemy and the enemy in the entire Rehe and the eastern grasslands. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The eastern grassland includes Chifeng, Tongliao, Xing'an League, Hulunbuir and other places, covering an area of no less than 100,000 square kilometers. The situation here is more complicated, and although the Japanese are still strong, they are not the only one, and there are hundreds of Mongol tribes ranging in number in addition to the Japanese.

Don't look at these Mongol tribes without a decent army, and they don't have any advanced weapons and equipment. But because they are very united and fierce enough, not to mention that a large part of the power here is still in the hands of those Mongol princes, so the Japanese do not dare to push them too much.

Going back to Ma Zheng's department, since the establishment of the Suidong Military Division, Ma Zheng has been preparing to develop eastward, because this is the trend.

After the last large-scale reorganization of the troops, Ma Zheng deliberately merged the former Renan Army Subdivision and the Suidong Army Subdivision to form the Rehe Military Region, with the purpose of further attacking the eastern grasslands and preparing for the capture of the entire northeast.

However, because the power of the Kwantung Army is still huge, and some local Mongolian princes do not cooperate, there are a lot of people stationed here under Ma Zheng's department, but the territory controlled by Ma Zheng is not large, from Chengde to Hulunbuir The vast area, Ma Zheng's department controls less than one-fifth.

As the commander of the Rehe Military Region and the commander of the cavalry division, Ma Desheng knew Ma Zheng's intention of sending him to govern Rehe. The Eighth Route Army had the rules of the Eighth Route Army, and the Eighth Route Army's ethnic policy was very tolerant and lenient, so in order to avoid friction with local ethnic minorities, the Party Central Committee had always strictly ordered Ma Zheng's troops not to expand their territory to the east.

Because the eastward expansion of Ma Zheng's department will inevitably shake the interests of those Mongolian princes, it is inevitable that the two sides will clash. Moreover, the eastward expansion would inevitably require a direct exchange of fire with the Japanese Kwantung Army, which the Party Central Committee did not want to see.

Don't look at Ma Zheng's troops now, but compared with the Kwantung Army, it is still a lot worse. The strength of the Kwantung Army is there, and the entire 600,000 army is not something that the current Eighth Route Army can provoke.

However, Ma Desheng knew that the commander had always wanted to "touch" the fertile soil of the eastern grassland, and even coveted the entire northeast. Although there is a certain price to be paid for the conflict with the Kwantung Army, it can integrate the anti-Japanese forces in the northeast region and include the entire northeast region in its own attack range.

Although Ma Desheng didn't know what to do with the Kwantung Army, he knew that Ma Zheng had never done anything he wasn't sure about. Just like from last year to this year, Ma has repeatedly used the strength of a military region to fight against hundreds of thousands of troops of the North China Front, and many people have sweated for the Eighth Route Army, and they all think that the little money that the Eighth Route Army has accumulated with great difficulty is probably going to be played by Ma Zheng.

But the result was beyond everyone's expectations, from the beginning of the battle, Ma Zheng's department ate a large number of troops of the North China Front like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, and then went to Baoding and broke Tianjin, and finally even the commander of the North China Front, Tada Jun, was forced to death, and Okamura Ningji, the Japanese army general, if he was not lucky, I am afraid that he would have been a wooden card in the Yasukuni Shrine by now.

After these battles, the Northern Serbian Corps established its position as the No. 1 military group in the north, and the benefits gained were far more than that. Although nominally the whole of Shanxi, southern Hebei, and Henan are the territory of the Nationalist Government, the Eighth Route Army has established absolute prestige in the whole of North China, although it cannot be said that Jianfeng is invincible, but it is not that any cat or dog dares to provoke the Eighth Route Army.

But this is the end of it, Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, and the vulgar point is that the rafters that come out are rotten first. The Eighth Route Army has been majestic enough in the past two years, but it has also become a thorn in the side of the Japanese puppet army

With the reorganization of the Japanese North China Front, reinforcements continued to arrive in North China. The Nationalist Government wanted to hide behind and watch a good show, Wei Lihuang's more than 100,000 troops stationed at the junction of Shanxi and Hebei did not move, and Gao Shuxun's 39th Army in southern Hebei did not dare to make any changes, so Ma Zheng's department became the only target of the Japanese army in North China.

Coupled with the agreement between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, whether it is Ma Zheng's department, other units of the Eighth Route Army, or the New Fourth Army, etc., they can no longer unscrupulously develop in the Jiangnan region without the order of the national government, so Ma Zheng's department has lost the space for continued development.

Ma Desheng is Ma Zheng's old partner, he has been following Ma Zheng when he was a small infantry battalion commander, so he knows Ma Zheng far better than ordinary people, and the tacit understanding between him and Ma Zheng is not comparable to Yun Jian and others.

Ma Desheng, who knew Ma Zheng's plans, knew very well what Ma Zheng lacked now, and what Ma Zheng lacked now was just an excuse. In the past, small-scale troops were nothing, and the above also turned a blind eye and didn't take it seriously.

But now it is different, Ma Zheng's department specially set up the Rehe Military Region, and the purpose was obviously to go to the eastern grassland. This made the Party Central Committee very worried, and warned Ma Zheng many times not to touch the red line of national policy, after all, there are many Mongolians in the Eighth Route Army, and once other problems are caused, the consequences will be very serious.

However, Ma Desheng knows that Ma Zheng will not stop there, in Ma Desheng's words, Ma Zheng, the commander, is a donkey, and the things he has determined will not be easily changed, not to mention that the threat of the Kwantung Army is real, and he must grasp the strategic initiative.

However, this problem is not unsolvable, the Party Central Committee does not agree to conflict with those Mongolian princes, but does not want to provoke those neutral Mongolian princes, and it is no problem to deal with traitors like King De. Therefore, as long as we find evidence that those Mongolian princes were traitors or aided in the abuse, the Party Central Committee will not tolerate those guys as traitors because of the ethnic policy.

Therefore, what the Eighth Route Army lacks now is not weapons and equipment, nor is it the food and salary of soldiers, but an excuse to send troops, and Ma Desheng's reintake of Rehe is to find this breakthrough point.

After Ma Desheng arrived in Suidong, he began to arrange a blow to the Japanese puppet army in Suidong, because there was an order pressed on it, so Ma Desheng did not dare to blatantly send troops to fight with the Japanese puppet army in the eastern grassland, but he constantly sent capable small troops to raid the stronghold of the Japanese puppet army.

The tactics of cold guns and cold guns are still very effective, and with the actions of Huang Haitao's troops in the northeast, they dealt a major blow to the Japanese puppet army.

However, the Japanese are not vegetarians, especially since they provoked the Kwantung Army, which has always been arrogant, so the Japanese army began to eliminate them very early.

Umezu Mijiro has always been very jealous of Ma Zheng's troops, and he is not prepared to clash with Ma Zheng's troops unless necessary, but as a far-sighted commander, Umezu Mijiro can naturally see the threat of Ma Zheng's troops from the Kwantung Army.

Therefore, after the 12th Division was annihilated, it has been increasing troops to the eastern grasslands, and has also frequently mobilized troops to deal with Huang Haitao's headquarters on the Shuangliao front line and the elusive special combat team.

In order to deal with the provocation of Ma Desheng's subordinates, and in order to completely remove the threat of Ma Zheng's subordinates to the Kwantung Army, Umezu Mijiro decided to launch a limited offensive to completely drive Ma Desheng's subordinates out of the eastern grasslands.

Therefore, from the beginning of June, the cavalry group of the Kwantung Army continued to increase troops in the eastern steppes, and in just one and a half months, the strength of the army increased from 2,000 at the beginning to more than 10,000.

After receiving reinforcements from the Kwantung Army Headquarters, the Japanese puppet army on the front line of Tongliao no longer carried their tails between their legs, and their rampant nature was fully revealed, and they began to frequently sweep the nearby Mongolian tribes and Han Chinese gathering points.

As a result, a sweeping and counter-sweeping operation was launched in the eastern steppe, but as both sides invested more and more troops, the conflict became more and more intense, and the scale of the battle became more and more large.

A few days ago, there was even a tragic cavalry encounter in Zarut, where a cavalry brigade of the Japanese army plunged headlong into the arms of a cavalry regiment under Ma Desheng's department, and the two sides were engaged in a life-and-death duel between cavalry.

In that battle, due to Ma Desheng's absolute advantage in numbers, 1200 VS 360 people, the result is self-evident.

After two hours of fighting, Ma Desheng's department finally annihilated the Japanese cavalry brigade. Afterwards, the soldiers of Ma Desheng's department also did an extremely ugly thing for the Japanese - torture the corpses, they beheaded all the Japanese soldiers, including about 100 prisoners, and then cut off their heads, and used their heads to cast a "Jingguan".

This "Jingguan" is also called "Wujun", which is to pile the corpses of the enemy on both sides of the road, cover the soil and tamp it to form a pyramid-shaped mound.

As we all know, Japan is a very superstitious country, and some traditional Japanese cultures believe that the head is the place of the human soul, and that a person can die, but not without a soul. Therefore, the Japanese army is the most afraid of being beheaded, and at the same time, it is also the most taboo to be beheaded, because if the head is cut off, it is equivalent to having no soul, let alone a chance to be reincarnated.

Because of this, the Japanese army is so fond of cutting off the enemy's head, and at the same time, they are afraid of being beheaded by the enemy. It is precisely because of this that China, which is inferior in weapons and equipment, will have so many broadsword teams.

After all, there are only more than 300 cavalry brigades in a cavalry brigade, and there is even a precedent for the annihilation of an entire cavalry group on the Chinese battlefield, so being completely annihilated a cavalry brigade will not attract the attention of the Japanese high-level troops.

But the problem is that the head of the Imperial Japanese Army was turned into a "Kyoto Temple" by the enemy, which is amazing.

Such an act was undoubtedly an insult and a provocation to the Imperial Japanese Army, and this insult was unforgivable, because it seriously affected the honor and morale of the Imperial Army.

Out of this consideration, and even more in order to take revenge, after receiving the news, General Umezu Yoshijiro ordered Lieutenant General Tanaka Kujiro, commander of the Kwantung Army's cavalry group, to immediately recover the remains of the imperial warriors, and at the same time severely punish the Shina army that dared to provoke the Imperial Japanese Army.

After receiving the order from the Kwantung Army Headquarters, Lieutenant General Tanaka Kujiro did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered the 5th and 9th Cavalry Brigades and the 7th and 12th Cavalry Divisions of the puppet Manchukuo Defense Army to immediately attack Chifeng, and the northern Chinese grasslands were again smoky.
