Chapter 437: The Northeast War

In addition, as a veteran BB party, Hu Weidong knew that in history, the Soviet Union finally received German jishu assistance in battleships and battle cruisers, but the result was that the battleships and battlecruisers developed by the Soviet Union based on the Italian jishu and built in 1938 had to be torn down and rebuilt, and the result was that it failed to catch up with the Soviet-German war. Otherwise, if they persist in the same way, the Soviets, who had repeatedly created miracles at that time, would not have been able to complete it before the outbreak of the Soviet-German war, so Hu Weidong would rather do it according to the historical arrangement, and it should be safer to think about it

Hu Weidong's strategy really worked wonders, the battleships and battlecruisers built by the Soviets eventually rotted on the slipway, while the United States, Britain and France were frightened for a while, and the mustache took advantage of this opportunity to once again defraud hundreds of millions of dollars in loans and further loosening of international treaties, thus further strengthening the preparations for war

Although the old Maozi was overshadowed again, the negative impact of the withdrawal of the Soviet army on the war situation in the Northeast has become a foregone conclusion, and the total number of hundreds of thousands, and the well-armed Soviet troops in the Far East are fighting together, and the 600,000 troops of the Kwantung Army are too much for the Red Party forces in the Northeast. However, after receiving the news of the smooth recovery of Shanghai, Nanjing, and Hangzhou, Taizu immediately made a decision and ordered the North China Field Army to transfer all its field troops to the northeast to fight a decisive battle with the Japanese Kwantung Army, while the North China Liberated Area, where almost all of its mobile forces had been evacuated, was temporarily sent by the Central Plains Military Region to take over the defense. At the same time, in order to ensure the logistical supply of the troops leaving the border, the North China Liberated Region completely stopped the transportation of civilian products on several railway trunk lines, such as the Beining Line, the Jinpu Line, the Pingsui Line, the Zhengtai Line, and the Longhai Line, and used all the transportation capacity to transport supplies.

With the full support of almost half of China, the North China Field Army launched a fierce attack on Shenyang without hesitation. Although the Japanese army was tenacious beyond expectations, its flesh and blood could not stop the shells falling from the sky after all, not to mention that it was only more than the number of people. There are also more North China Field Army, so the result is naturally obvious. After more than a week of fierce fighting, the North China Field Army successfully captured Shenyang at the cost of more than 110,000 casualties. Annihilated more than 200,000 Japanese puppet troops (including more than 90,000 Japanese regular troops, and 40,000 or 50,000 Japanese policemen and armed civilians) and immediately take advantage of the momentum to the east. Occupied Fushun, which had become an empty city. As a result, the Chinese army regained the dominant position in the Northeast Battlefield, and the North China Field Army, whose total strength had swelled to more than 700,000, could join forces with the Northeast Field Army to attack Changchun, the "national capital" of the puppet Manchurians, and to the south, it could attack the "Kwantung Prefecture," a brigade that was more important to Japan than the puppet Manchurians, while the Japanese army, which was increasingly overstretched, could only be beaten passively all the time, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that Japan's eight-year rule in the northeast had become "a rabbit's tail -- it could not grow."

During this period, the main force of the Japanese Combined Fleet, which had shelled Vladivostok, did not go all the way to Shanghai to fight against the main force of the 15 th Group Army after learning that the Chinese 15 th Group Army had crossed the Yangtze River and was heading south. Attack the Chinese naval base in Qingdao, which they thought had been greatly weakened by the defense of Liliang. There is another reason for this, Shanghai, Nanjing and Hangzhou were all recovered by China, which means that the Japanese army has lost all the airfields in the south of the Yangtze River in China, and if it insists on attacking Shanghai, it can only rely on the fleet to fight alone. However, the enemy can get the support of land-based aircraft, which is too much of a loss, and if it is to attack Qingdao, the large number of field airfields newly built by Japan in Korea and the Luda area can be of great help.

However, even for the sake of the two 70,000-ton giant docks, Hu Weidong could not ignore the garrison work in Qingdao, and the Japanese Navy was in the dust. Since the Japanese navy had already suffered considerable losses in previous battles, it was difficult to bear too many losses now, so it did not make a desperate effort after the setback in Qingdao, but stationed at Luda on the pretext of preventing the Luda naval base from being attacked by the North China Field Army. At the same time, because of the lessons learned from the attack on the brigade at the beginning, the devils' vigilance work was almost perfect, and the North China Air Corps could not find favorable fighters, but instead lost quite a few planes, and the Red Party also realized that for the Air Force, offensive operations were far more difficult than defensive operations when they did not have an advantage in strength. In addition, the new Type 99 fighters that the Japanese Army Aviation began to equip with in large quantities also showed their excellent performance in surpassing the Soviet-16 fighters in an all-round way, becoming a major threat to the North China Air Corps, but this also objectively accelerated the research and development of the J-1 and H-1

The erosion of the war situation in the northeast forced the Japanese army to send the 300,000 Korean troops who had not yet completed their training across the Yalu River in advance, and as a result, they were naturally defeated by the battle-hardened Chinese army, and more than 200,000 were annihilated in just one month, of which more than 100,000 were captured with sticks alone, and most of the Japanese officers in the army were quite brave, and almost all of the tens of thousands of people were killed, but they were still unable to return to the sky, and the first part of the Eastern Army was also hit hard, and more than 70,000 people were annihilated in this month, including more than 30,000 prisoners of war.

Although the North China Field Army only sacrificed more than 10,000 people in this battle, the already insufficient ammunition supply became more and more scarce, and because the North Korean Army carried very little ammunition and had a tradition of destroying weapons and ammunition after the defeat of the devils, the number of captured was only a drop in the bucket compared to the needs of the North China Field Army.

In the end, the huge North China Field Army had to temporarily retreat to the Shenyang area because the supply could not keep up, and due to the additional logistical pressure brought by the more than 100,000 Korean prisoners, and the need to replenish ammunition and wear and tear after the Qingdao air battle, which also occupied a lot of military production capacity and railway capacity in the Central Plains Liberated Area, so the recovery of ammunition reserves of the North China Field Army was much slower than Lin Zong's expectations.

The base camp of the Japanese army seized the time to send the newly formed troops in the country to Northeast China, so that the total strength of the Kwantung Army was restored to more than 700,000, although even the Japanese knew that this was a dry fish, but at least for the time being, the Kwantung Army did temporarily stabilize the situation, although also due to logistical problems, the Japanese army was unable to carry out a large-scale counteroffensive, and the Northeast Battlefield formed a stalemate for a while. However, it is said that it is a stalemate, but the liberated areas in the northeast under the leadership of the plateau have been expanding by actively infiltrating the countryside, while the Japanese army has become more and more confined to a few large and medium-sized cities and along the railway lines, and the territory under its actual control is becoming narrower and narrower. )
