This sweep of the Japanese army also alarmed Chen Feng, who was far away in the northeast, and Chen Feng was shocked when he received the telegram from Hua Dajia, Okamura, this bastard, actually came to North China? This is months ahead of the original history.

After receiving the telegram, Chen Feng's first reaction was to immediately pack up his luggage and return to Guisui, feeling like a wolf was coming, which made Yehelina and the others quite strange. In their minds, Chen Feng is a person who is very calm no matter what he encounters, Taishan collapses in front and his color remains unchanged, and the elk is happy in the left and his eyes are not instantaneous, how can he be shocked because of a Japanese officer who has just taken office.

To be honest, Chen Feng, the newly appointed commander of the North China Front, was indeed very worried. To say that there were millions of Japanese troops invading China, hundreds of thousands of officers, and hundreds of generals, there was only one one that Chen Feng had the most scruples, and that was Okamura Ningji. The reason why Chen Feng is so scruple is completely out of concern about Okamura Ningji's personal qualities and past achievements.

Okamura Ninji was different from ordinary Japanese generals, this man's military career began very early, he was already an infantry second lieutenant at the age of 20, and a squad leader at the age of 21, and participated in the Russo-Japanese War. At the age of 23, he served as an infantry lieutenant and taught at the Army Non-commissioned Officer School, when Yan Xishan, Sun Chuanfang and others were all students of the school, so Okamura Ningji still had a teacher-student friendship with them. At the age of 48, he served as the deputy chief of staff of the Shanghai Dispatch Army of the Japanese Army, and participated in the 1932 "I. In the same year, he was promoted to major general of the army, presided over the study of the modernization of the army, and was later transferred to the deputy chief of staff of the Japanese Kwantung Army.

Looking at Okamura Ninji, his experience is very rich. Almost all of his military career has been related to China. He served as Sun Chuanfang's military adviser. He participated in the Jinan Massacre in 1927, the September 18 Incident in 1931, and the 1932 Massacre. The 28 Incident and later the Pacific War. Among all the generals of the Japanese army, he was the only one with such an experience. And this person is also an authentic "China expert", not only because Okamura Ninji can speak Chinese, but because Okamura Ninji is quite familiar with China's geography, customs, and folk customs.

Secondly, Okamura has served as a commander of the Japanese Army at all levels except for brigade commanders, and has practical experience in all battlefield commanders except squadron commanders and group commanders. Although there are many generals in the Japanese army, there are not one or two who have made a name for themselves on the Chinese battlefield, but none of them have such experience.

In addition, Okamura Ninji's record is also impressive. Okamura Ninji was just a spy attaché. It's not a shocking case. During the strike of textile workers in Shanghai, after the shooting of Gu Zhenghong by a Japanese manufacturer, he skillfully used the British imperialists to take the lead in creating the May Day Massacre and the Shaji Massacre. As a result, the anti-imperialist spearhead of the Chinese people was suddenly concentrated in Britain. Outcome. Total Japanese exports to China in 1925. Far from falling under the influence of the anti-imperialist patriotic movement, it increased by 12 percent over the previous year.

Since then, Okamura has presided over the signing of the Tanggu Agreement and the Shanghai Incident Armistice Agreement on many occasions. At the outbreak of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang War. Okamura Ninji sent military spies to the armies of both sides as advisers, and he became the chief director of the war, fighting whenever he wanted, stopping when he wanted, so as to test the combat strength of the armies of both sides.

After the outbreak of the war of aggression against China, Okamura Ningji was even more "defeated", Wuhan was fought by him, Nanchang was also fought by him, especially in the Nanchang Campaign, Okamura Ningji concentrated all the combat vehicles and artillery in his hands to use, and opened the way with aircraft, this is simply the Chinese version of the blitzkrieg, and the time is much earlier than the German "blitzkrieg Poland", it can be said that Okamura Ningji is the first military genius to practice blitzkrieg tactics.

Such an old devil who has a considerable understanding and study of China and has quite a wealth of experience in operational command is of course a fierce opponent for China's anti-Japanese military and people. Now that this person has arrived in North China, it is not a good thing for the anti-Japanese forces in North China.

Another point, that is, after inspecting the Northeast this time, Chen Feng found that Ye Helina and Xu Bao and others were developing very well in the Northeast region, so he decided to implement his Great Northeast strategy.

The so-called Great Northeast strategy is to continuously infiltrate the Northeast region, and finally completely wipe out the Japanese army in the Northeast and recover this black land.

Since it has been decided to implement the Great Northeast Plan, then the main strength of the Eighth War Zone and his main energy in the next period of time will definitely be tilted towards the Northeast region, and at this time, Okamura Ningji suddenly appeared in North China, how can this reassure Chen Feng.

Moreover, facts have proved that Okamura Ninji is not easy to provoke, and both the military discipline purge and the sweep have achieved great results, and the purge of military discipline can greatly reduce the hostility of the Chinese people towards the Japanese, and this is also an extremely vicious means of disintegrating the Chinese anti-Japanese army and people.

Needless to say, the effect of the sweep was to quickly strike a blow at the anti-Japanese forces in the enemy-occupied areas and consolidate the rule of the Japanese puppet army. Chen Feng believed that with these two measures alone, the Japanese would be able to stabilize the crumbling situation in North China, and once the situation in the occupied areas was stabilized, the Japanese army would begin to expand outward again, turning those non-occupied areas into occupied areas.

However, Chen Feng also believed that if Okamura Ninji had not been arrogant and arrogant, he would not have made provocative moves against the Eighth Theater at this stage, but once the Japanese army in North China had solved its internal problems, then the North China Front would definitely start a battle with the Eighth Theater on an unprecedented scale.

Okamura Ningji's appointment gave Chen Feng great pressure, but Chen Feng still recognized the combat effectiveness of the army under his command, no matter how the situation in North China changed, Chen Feng still decided to take action against the Japanese puppet army in the northeast.

On 20 February, immediately after Chen Feng returned to Guisui from the Nianzi Mountains, he convened a military and political meeting to make a decision to temporarily reduce the number of troops, and at the same time transferred two integrated divisions and two artillery brigades to the 61st Group Army. In addition, three integrated divisions, one armored division and some artillery units were transferred to the 69th Army, and the theater guard division was also transferred to Xilinhot.

So far, the total strength of the 61st Group Army stationed in Xilinhot has reached 120,000, and the total strength of the 69th Group Army stationed in the former Outer Mongolia has also reached 110,000, which is the main force that Chen Feng used to attack the northeast.

However, if you want to seize the Northeast, it is not easy to implement the entire Great Northeast Plan, because before the army advances into the Northeast, it is necessary to take the Suidong Grassland, that is, it is difficult to start Chifeng, Tongliao, Hulunbuir in the north, and Xing'an League in the east.

Although Chen Feng's troops sent troops to the Suidong prairie many times, and fought several times with the Japanese Kwantung Army, but in the end they still did not hold here, in addition to Chifeng, such as Tongliao, Naiman, Horqin Left Banner, Right Banner and other places are still in the hands of the Japanese, and the Hulunbuir and Xing'an League in the north are completely controlled by the Japanese puppet army, which is the first problem in front of Chen Feng.

Originally, Chen Feng didn't plan to implement the Great Northeast strategy so quickly, but after inspecting the Northeast this time, he felt that the time was almost up. According to the reports of Ye Helina and Xu Bao, although the rule of the Japanese puppet army in the northeast is as solid as an iron bucket, they have not gained nothing during this time. After more than half a year of development, Yehelina's 3,000 people have expanded to more than 5,500 people, of whom more than 3,900 are White Russians of former Tsarist origin, and the rest are Chinese.

This unit is now stationed in the Nianzi Mountains of Qiqihar, because of its relatively weak strength, so they are not very ostentatious in peacetime, even if they fight against the Japanese army, they only attack in the form of small detachments, and the scale of the general battle is controlled at the company and platoon level.

However, there is a requirement for Yeherina to fight, that is, to plan and then move, either without a fight, or to win the battle, and definitely not to attack blindly, so as not to expose the target.

Therefore, although they attacked a lot in the past six months, killed and wounded thousands of Japanese soldiers, and wiped out half of the puppet army's regiment, they did not attract the attention of the Japanese army at the division level, and the Japanese army sent an infantry brigade into the mountains to encircle and suppress it, and the troops above the wing never appeared at all.

And Xu Bao and others entered the Northeast region relatively early, but because Chen Feng only gave him a special operations squadron when he came, the speed of development was not very fast, and there were only more than 800 people now. However, this small army led by Xu Bao has made a name for itself in the entire Northeast, because Xu Bao led the elite of the special combat team, so as soon as he arrived in the Northeast, Xu Bao blew up a column of the Japanese army, and then assassinated 4 big traitors and 2 Japanese major generals in a row.

Every time he finishes his work, Xu Bao will leave a flag on the scene, and the flag is embroidered with a huge leopard head with black and white thread, so the name of "Leopard King" spreads far and wide. Speaking of the "Leopard King" in the Northeast, it is very famous, and the Japanese are inexplicably taboo about it, and the puppet army is silent about it.

All in all, Xu Bao and Yehelina have developed very well in the northeast region, as long as they continue to drop troops to the northeast region by helicopters, they will definitely drive a big nail in the heart of the enemy in a short period of time, which will make the Japanese puppet army feel painful.

In addition, now Chen Feng has digested all the original Mongolian Ulaanbaatar, Dongfang Province and other territories, together with the 61st Group Army stationed in Xilinhot, in fact, it has formed a semi-encirclement of Hulunbuir and the Japanese puppet army in the Xing'an League area, especially Hulunbuir, from the map this place seems to draw a semicircle, a large part of which directly broke into the defense area of Chen Feng's department.

Such a piece of fat was put next to Chen Feng's mouth, wouldn't it be sorry for the hospitality of the Japanese if he didn't eat it, so Chen Feng decided to immediately implement the first step of the Great Northeast strategy - to occupy the Suidong prairie. (To be continued......)
