Chapter 622: Great Northeast Strategy - Prologue (Asking for subscriptions, monthly passes, and various !! )

Chen Feng once again showed his strength and courage to everyone with his practical actions, which was manifested in his courage to put forward conditions to Britain and the United States and other powers, and he was able to succeed in doing things that the United States and Britain and other countries could not do, and he also dared to break through the dirt between Lao Jiang and Long Yun in person, and he didn't care at all that he might offend the two bigwigs.

He is dedicated to the public, not afraid of anyone's grudges and difficulties, knowing that it was Lao Chiang's Central Army who went south to Burma to fight, and promised to change the clothes of all the expeditionary troops.

Chen Feng's reputation is well-known in the army, and no one thinks that Chen Feng is grandstanding or perfunctory to the old man. Almost all the bigwigs here have dealt with Chen Feng directly or indirectly, and the gold content of Chen Feng's two words is still very high, at least much more reputable than Jiang Someone's three words.

It is precisely because of this strength and courage that Chen Feng was praised by everyone at the venue, although some people thought that Chen Feng was a little stupid and a little stunned and a little unworthy, but more people were still impressed by Chen Feng's noble and unafraid character.

Chen Feng did not disappoint, and after the British government telegraphed Chongqing and announced that it had renounced its ownership of Burma, he immediately used aircraft to transport eight divisions of weapons and equipment to Kunming, including not only light weapons, but also some heavy weapons.

When Du Yanming, who was in charge of organizing the expeditionary force, saw the mountains of weapons and equipment at the airport, the whole person was stunned, knowing that Commander Chen in the north of the expeditionary force was wealthy, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful.

The rifle is a Mauser 98K, which is not comparable to the little devil's 38 big cover. It is better than the official rifle in the standard equipment of the national government, and it is the standard equipment used by the German army, and the Germans used this rifle to rampage in Europe.

The light machine guns were Czech, with 1,600 rounds and 50 million rounds of ammunition, and the heavy machine guns were Maxim, with 800 rounds. These are not counted, the most shocking thing for the troublemakers and others to arrive was the artillery, Commander Chen sent 500 small-caliber mortars and 240 small mountain guns at one time, in addition to the heavy artillery of an artillery brigade. The huge amount of weapons and equipment is like a mountain of Wujiaba Airport.

According to the list of equipment. Du Yan knew that there were a total of 8 divisions of weapons and equipment in Langdao, but if it was according to the equipment standards of the national government, at least 12 divisions could be armed, and all of them were first-class divisions.

With this batch of weapons and equipment. Du Yanming and the others can finally breathe a sigh of relief. If these 8 divisions are equipped according to the standards of Commander Chen. The 8 divisions of the expeditionary force will reach about 200,000 people, and it is possible to go south to Burma, not to mention blocking the Japanese devils from moving north, even if they recapture Rangoon.

Du Yanming and others were busy forming an expeditionary force in Kunming. After nearly three months of preparation, the pre-war preparations for attacking the northeast had been basically completed, and according to Chen Feng's idea, it was necessary to launch an attack on the Japanese army before the expeditionary force entered Burma.

On September 30, 1941, Chen Feng convened a meeting of the commanders of the units directly under the military region of the Eighth Theater Military Region at the first level in Guisui.

At the beginning of the meeting, Chen Feng gave a briefing on the fact that the Nationalist Government was about to organize an expeditionary force to fight in Burma, and at the same time explained that the Eighth Theater would launch an attack on the Japanese army in the north in order to contain and cooperate with the expeditionary force's operations.

"Ladies and gentlemen, after several months of preparation, our army has been ready for battle on all fronts, and it has been suppressed for more than half a year. Chen Feng said loudly.

"Grandma, if you don't hit your arms and legs, they'll be rusty, Commander, just give an order, and I, Li Yifeng, will listen to you!"

"Commander, our Mengbei Military Region is also ready to launch an attack on the Japanese army at any time!"

"Commander, our Suidong Military Region is also ready, as long as you give an order, you can ensure that the little devil who beats will cry and call his mother!"

Chen Feng was very satisfied with the reaction of his generals, very good, always so confident.

"I am very satisfied with everyone's reaction, the purpose of our operation this time is to completely occupy the four northeastern provinces, drive the largest and most elite strategic group of the little devils out of the northeast or annihilate them all, do you have confidence?" Chen Feng asked loudly.

"There is !!"

"Down with Japanese imperialism and destroy the Kwantung Army!"

"Down with Japanese imperialism and destroy the Kwantung Army!"

"It's good to have confidence, but I want to remind you that the Kwantung Army of the Japanese devils is different from other troops, and it is indeed one of the most powerful divisions in the Japanese Army! The combat effectiveness of this unit is very strong, and it has always been called the "flower of the imperial army" by the Japanese army. In particular, the willpower and combat effectiveness of junior officers are no worse than those of the current German army! So I want you to have both strategic contempt for your opponents and tactical importance for your opponents! Let Minister Hua tell you about the information we have about the Kwantung Army! Chen Feng said.

Hua Rong stood up and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the infiltration of our intelligence department into the Northeast region began two years ago, and after the unremitting efforts of the intelligence department, after paying an extremely heavy price, we also have a large amount of intelligence on the Kwantung Army. The command organ of the Kwantung Army is the Kwantung Army Headquarters, located in Changchun, the commander is General Otozo Yamada, and the chief of staff is Lieutenant General Naosaburo Okabe, our old opponent. It consists of the General Staff Department, the Adjutant Department, the Ordnance Department, the Manager Department, the Military Medical Department, the Veterinary Department, and the Judges' Department. ”

"The establishment of the Kwantung Army stationed in the northeast is divided into field divisions, independent garrisons, as well as the Arthur Artillery Brigade, the Kwantung Military Police, etc. The 28 field divisions and regiments with a total strength of 450,000 men are truly combative, and there are more than 40 independent garrisons with more than 30,000 people, in addition to a large number of mechanized units such as artillery, paratroopers, charioteers, and aviation units, with a total strength of more than 100,000 troops. In addition to these, the Kwantung Army also has a large number of directly subordinate organs and covert troops, such as the notorious Unit 731 and the Railway Army, with a total strength of about 150,000 troops, and according to the intelligence we have obtained, the total strength of the Japanese army in the northeast should be about 70-750,000. ”

"In addition to the regular troops of the Japanese army, there are a large number of puppet armies in the northeast, which are divided into three parts, the first part is the troops of the puppet Manchukuo, which has a large number of people and relatively strong combat effectiveness. According to the information sent back by the intelligence personnel of our army who broke into the puppet Manchukuo army, the national defense force of the puppet Manchukuo plus the police has a total of 700,000 people, of which about 350,000 are regular troops, and there are 28 infantry divisions, 9 cavalry divisions, and 7 mixed brigades, and the rest are all police forces. ”

"It is worth mentioning that the police of the puppet Manchukuo are very weak in combat, although they are equipped with guns in peacetime, they basically have not undergone much training, and the only ones who can really pose a threat to our army are the Japanese army and the regular army of the puppet Manchukuo."

"The second part of the puppet army is our old opponent, originally subordinate to the puppet Mongolian army under the command of the puppet Mongolian Xinjiang Autonomous Government, after the main force was defeated and annihilated by our army, Wang Ying and part of the puppet Mongolian army continued to operate in the Suidong area with the support of the Japanese army, after several years of development, now there are more than 80,000 people, divided into 13 divisions, but because the vast majority of the soldiers are ordinary farmers and herdsmen sent by Wang Ying to capture, so the combat effectiveness of this army is very weak."

"The last part is the two devils composed of Koreans, the number of this force is about 150,000, it is mixed with the Japanese army, and the combat effectiveness is not weak, and the troops composed of these Korean sticks are very cruel, very loyal to the Japanese masters, and don't be careless when facing the enemy."

To sum up, the total strength of the Japanese puppet army in the northeast is about 1.65 million, including about 1.05 million regular troops, and the Japanese army has millions of immigrants in the northeast, which can become reserve soldiers of the Japanese army at any time. The Japanese army has more than 20 military bases and a large number of strongholds in the northeast region, equipped with about 1,400 tanks, 1,600 aircraft, and an unknown number of artillery pieces. That's it! ”

After Hua Rong sat down, everyone fell into deep thought, this Kwantung Army is indeed very powerful, and the regular army and ordinary military police add up to about 1.65 million, which is indeed a difficult bone to gnaw.

Although Chen Feng had known this number for a long time, he was still taken aback by the huge strength of the Japanese puppet army, which was much stronger than the Kwantung Army in history. You must know that when the Kwantung Army was at its strongest in the history of the province, there were only about 1.2 million people.

However, Hua Rong also said privately that because the northeast is close to the Korean Peninsula, the Kwantung Army and the Korean Army are often transferred, and some of these troops may be double-counted. However, such a large number of troops of the Japanese army really exceeded Chen Feng's expectations, and it was not easy to annihilate the entire 1.05 million regular troops.

"Ladies and gentlemen, everyone knows the situation of the Kwantung Army, it can be said that the Kwantung Army is the most formidable enemy that our Eighth Military Region has encountered since its establishment, do you have the confidence to defeat them?" Chen Feng asked in a deep voice.

"Commander, you are underestimating us people, what are we doing in the Eighth War Zone, we are the elite who specialize in fighting devils, if the group of eight devils in the Northeast are all a group of soft-footed shrimp, then this battle is not interesting! If you want to fight us, you will fight the elite of the devil! Li Yifeng said loudly.

"That's it, the theater of aircraft and artillery has made a lot of it, and we haven't really fought a tough battle yet, this time it's our turn to show our skills!" The commander of the armored group, Lu Nautical, said loudly

"Since everyone has confidence, then this battle is up to you!" Chen Feng stood up and said loudly.

"Use me in the first battle, use me to win!"

"Use me in the first battle, use me to win!"

"Use me in the first battle, use me to win!"

"Good! This time we launched an attack on the Japanese Kwantung Army and liberated the whole of Northeast China, which was the largest campaign we have conducted since the establishment of the Eighth Theater, and in order to win this battle, we have been preparing for nearly half a year, so I hope that all the officers and men will be able to carry forward the fine style of our Saibei Army that dares to fight and fight without fear of life and death! ”

Then Chen Feng continued: "According to the battle plan, this time our army will attack the Japanese army in three ways, namely the Northern Route Army, the Middle Route Army and the Southern Route Army.
