Chapter 237: The Next Cleaning Object
Watching the East China Army make a move, it went straight to their hearts, and listened to the battle on the front line that was almost overwhelming. Less than three days after the start of the war, the newly established democratic government of Dongyi decided to move the capital. Move their democratic government to Lanzhou City. Moreover, in order to buy time for their relocation of the capital, the governor of Dongyi, who was promoted to the president, ordered the Dongyi army on the front line to slow down the pace of the East China Army's advance.
If there is a mouth above, the officers and soldiers below will run and break their legs. In the face of this kind of constant wanton bombardment from the sky and the ground, the other side is far superior to their East China Army in terms of equipment and logistics. The officers and men of Dongyi on the front line undoubtedly felt aggrieved by the fight. As the number of sheep driven by the East China Army increased, the officers of the East Yi Army gradually found that their soldiers began to slip.
Either go to the toilet and disappear without a trace, or wake up and the entire squad and platoon disappear, this kind of situation where the morale of the army is scattered. Let the generals of the Eastern Yi Army, who are in charge of the command at the front line, know that this cannot be stopped at all. Moreover, with the troops of the East China Army, they began to march into the east.
The common people, who had been deceived by the Dongyi government, found that these occupying forces were not as terrible as their governor and current president had said. On the contrary, the attitude of these officers and soldiers towards them was much better than that of the Eastern Yi Army. In particular, the troops responsible for the logistics of this army occasionally provide some food to help the victims of the invasion of the army.
Even in the war, the people who were accidentally injured by the East China Army would be given a certain amount of compensation. How could such a benevolent army be a murderer who completely treats the people as slaves as their president said?
With the troops of the East China Army, Qiu passed through the occupied area without any crimes, and those people who had felt the enthusiasm of the East China Army for the common people. Next, when facing the East China Army officials who came with the army to take over the local government affairs, I saw those government officials.
It was announced that many of the previous harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes had been abolished, and that some chiefs or landlords had taken their own land. Begin to distribute them according to the head. This means that from now on, as long as they pay a certain amount of public grain to the government, the rest of the grain they grow will belong to them. How can such a good day not make the people of Dongyi cheer?
With the support of the people, coupled with the war situation in which the morale of the army was scattered, the democratic government of Dongyi had just moved to the city of Lanzhou. When he was ready to stop and take a breath, adjust the arrangement again, and delay the offensive of the East China Army as much as possible. I learned that the armored division of the East China Army was the same as Li Zhiguo, the eldest son of Li Shichang, the former president of Longhua. Commanding the reorganized Northern Yi Army.
Less than two hundred miles away, the military governments in the places they passed through were all the people of the city who surrendered to Kaesong. So much so that Li Zhiguo, who had only fought a few battles in the border area, found that the Beiyi Army under his command was almost a city that could be accommodated by the First Division of the Panzer Army.
It is clear that he has been declared a traitorous governor of Dongyi. With a hardcore confidant official, looking at the exhausted relocation troops. Eventually, all you can do is keep running. Run to the most remote and largest Xining Mansion in the east. Not really. Some officials have begun to consider whether to go to the other two provinces to seek political asylum!
It's a pity that when they rushed all the way to Xining Mansion, the commander of the garrison division of Xining Mansion had already been rebelled by the intelligence department of the East China Army. Directly led troops to dismantle the power of the Xining prefect, solved the security liliang in the city, and immediately telegraphed to express support for the East China Army. Don't be a traitor.
The military and political officials of Dongyi who were in a hurry along the way were still in the dark. When they saw the cavalry regiment of the garrison division coming, they thought that the other party was coming to pick them up, but they learned that they were under the orders of the East China Army. They were arrested and escorted back to Xianyang for public trial. The high-ranking officials of the Dongyi government, who were already in a state of mental stress, were paralyzed by fright several at once.
So far, the matter of the independence of the three Yi, with the Xining Garrison Division rising up and fighting back, the senior military and political officials who moved the capital to Dongyi came to a pot. This democratic government, which had been in existence for less than half a year, immediately declared its collapse.
Those military and political officials of Dongyi, who had advocated separatism, were directly ordered by Xu Bin to be charged with treason and tried in public, and were shot dead in the square where they announced the establishment of a democratic government on the same day.
For a time, the other two governments also felt pressure. Because when Xu Bin executed all the traitors in Dongyi, their list was also there. This means that one day if they fall into the hands of the East China Army, they will inevitably be executed.
In less than a month, this Dongyi democratic government, which was hated by the people of Longhua at the beginning, was officially declared extinct. Looking at the East China Army, it began to draw troops from the inland and enter the east to prepare for war. Many people are looking forward to how the East China Army will clean up the two governments that split Longhua, Nanyi and Xiyi.
Xu Bin, who just took Dongyi and completely isolated the other two, did not rush to arrange the next combat plan. Instead, they ordered the volunteers to intensify their attacks on the Japanese troops in Heihe Prefecture and Jizhou, focusing on destroying their military bases and transportation supply lines. He planned to drive this disgusting little devil out of the land of Longhua first.
Considering that the Sun Kingdom was unavoidable from a war with Longhua Kingdom, they increased the speed of colonization of other surrounding island countries. As a result, the resources plundered from these South China Sea Islands are quickly converted into weapons and ammunition, expanding their armies and fleets.
When the people of the Sun Country were busy blackmailing other Asian island countries, Xu Bin arranged the air force of the governor of Liao in Longcheng and began to appear in the sky over Changbai Road. The factories of the Japanese army in Changbai Road and even the port were bombed. Its submarine force is even more around the Changbai Sea, attacking past merchant ships flying the flag of the Sun Country.
For a while, many countries knew that the next target of the East China Army would be Heihe Prefecture and Jizhou, which were occupied by the Sun Country, and even Changbai Dao, which was seized in the name of Lend-Lease like Dongtai Port!
Realizing this, the Sun Kingdom army quickly ordered the troops on the front line to prepare for war. At the same time, on the side close to the country, two main fleets were assembled for defense. As for the other side, they simply did not dare to send warships over. Otherwise, it will not play any role except to serve as a target for the navy of the East China Army.
After a main division of the armored army has been secretly mobilized to Liaozhou, Xu Bin also dropped his henchman Wang Erscar here. Responsible for presiding over the battle to recover Heihe, Jizhou and Changbaidao. The battle goal he gave to Wang Erscar was to drive all those disgusting little devils out of the land of Longhua.
Wang Erscar, who received this order, accompanied Situ Baili, who had been busy recently and was both happy and painful, and continued to study the next strategic layout. Let's see how they should fight next, and fight this battle of recovery well. It can kill a large number of the army of the Sun Country, and it can ensure the smooth completion of the original Jihua.
Soon Situ Baili and Wang Erscar made strategic arrangements, relying on the air force and armored troops along the line of the Green River and the Tujiang River. The Japanese troops in Heihe Prefecture and Jizhou were completely isolated from Changbai Road. The rest of the Japanese troops on Changbai Road were mainly defended, and the Japanese troops in Heihe Prefecture and Jizhou were mainly attacked.
After the strategic decision was made, Xu Bin listened to the opinions and quickly made the approval. So much so that the First Army of the East China Army, which went north with Wang Erjiao, began to secretly move in the direction of Liaozhou. They will be the main force in this battle, taking on the defense and counterattack of the Sun Nation Army.
For the first officers and soldiers who can fight against the Sun Nation Army, they are undoubtedly very excited. Especially when they learned that after the end of this battle, they would have the opportunity to participate in the battle to recover southern Xinjiang. Isn't this kind of joy of fighting what they have been looking forward to?
Like the officers and men of the First Army, Du Liren, the commander of the volunteer army who received Xu Bin's telegram, summoned the division commanders scattered in various places to enter the meeting. The commanders of these divisions were all regimental and battalion commanders who had gone deep behind enemy lines. Now almost everyone has been promoted to the next level, and the number of troops under his command is seriously exceeded.
According to the current distribution of the main force of the East China Army, the number of people is about 200,000, and this volunteer army, which has nearly 400,000 volunteers with guerrillas and militia, can be expanded into two armies. Even the independent division, which is the number one main force of the Volunteer Army, now has nearly 100,000 soldiers under its command.
This kind of speed of pulling the team, when convening the war mobilization meeting this time, Du Liren also felt a little shocked and said: "You guys, usually let you report the establishment and always hide and refuse to report. Now that we know that the commander-in-chief has called, so that we can carry out a full-scale counterattack, you are finally willing to reveal all your family backgrounds. I'm afraid I didn't fight, right? ”
Facing this army commander, who is now a lieutenant general, he is still wearing the military uniform that he participated in the war to protect the country, and the division commanders are also smiling silently. But they are all eager for the next step, they can get a hard bone, so that Haode will turn Heihe Prefecture and Jizhou upside down, and it is not in vain that they have been drilling here for so long.
Looking at the eager expressions on the faces of these division commanders, Du Liren said: "This time, we will cooperate with the commander of the First Army, the first division of the third armored division, and the two flying groups of the air force to start the battle to recover Heihe and Jizhou in one fell swoop." At present, the commander-in-chief has ordered us to destroy the military warehouses and supply lines built by the Japanese army in both places in a small attack. Completely paralyze their supply lines and, when appropriate, engage in siege operations.
Among them, independent divisions, your task is more difficult. The order given to you by the command this time is to seize the Japanese positions on the front line of the Heihe River. and build fortifications there to stop possible cross-border provocations from the Ice Bear Nation.
The commander gave you an order with only one sentence, that is, you are not allowed to cross the border to stir up trouble, and once it is found that you have taken the initiative to stir up trouble, military law will take action. In the same way, if the Ice Bear Country dares to cross the border to provoke, it can be beaten to the death without lightly. ”
Hearing that the independent division still had a special order, the division commanders of the Volunteer Division undoubtedly knew it. This errand should be regarded as gnawing a hard bone, so that the independent division took the lead again, and it is indeed a little envious! (To be continued......)
