Chapter 758: Fierce Soldiers
Tang Qiuli dealt two heavy blows to the Japanese army in Northeast China and North China, which made the Japanese domestic jī flying dogs jump, dealt with a few scapegoats, and vented his anger, Emperor Hirohito murderously issued a conscription order, preparing to expand the Japanese army to about 2 million people, which was the national mobilization order.
At the same time, he also issued a secret order to the navy, in view of the fact that the development trend of the empire in the north of China is not very ideal, the navy should be prepared to go south to Southeast Asia, the current international situation is very conducive to the empire to expand its military strength to the traditional sphere of influence of Britain and the United States and other countries, and if necessary, it will not hesitate to fight with Britain and the United States.
The war situation in Japan was instigated again by an edict from Emperor Hirohito, and the conscription stations were crowded with fanatical Japanese youths who joined the army, and the war resources were mobilized to the maximum.
The new commander of the Kwantung Army, General Ueda Kenkichi, rushed from the mainland to Shinjing, where the headquarters of the Kwantung Army was located, with complicated feelings, and although His Majesty the Emperor gave him more than two months to prepare, he faced two major problems: First, the Kwantung Army had emptied all its troops from all over the country, causing the rear to be empty, so that the anti-coalition forces were everywhere, attacking the scattered strongholds of the Kwantung Army everywhere, capturing Manchukuo government officials, and gradually becoming a prairie fire.
The second is the battle of Shanhaiguan, the backbone of the Kwantung Army, basically wiped out, the newly replenished troops combat effectiveness into a problem, used to clear the Red Beard of the Anti-Japanese Federation, used to fight against the independent division of the devil Tang Qiuli, Ueda Kenkichi really has no bottom in his heart, although His Majesty the Emperor promised to increase the strength of the Kwantung Army to about 1.2 million people, but the quantity is not proportional to the quality.
As of 10 July, more than 1,000 attacks on the garrisons of the Kwantung Army had occurred, more than 1,000 of them had been killed, Manchukuo's local political power had been destroyed, a large number of Manchurians loyal to the empire had been shot, and Manchuria's form of húnluàn had seriously affected the fundamental interests of the empire.
According to intelligence, the equipment and combat effectiveness of the anti-coalition forces have been greatly enhanced, and they have become a major problem for the empire's rule in Manchuria, and Ueda Kenkichi's head has swelled several times, and after a few days of military meetings, he still sorted out the clues, at present, the biggest enemy of the empire is the anti-coalition forces operating in the hinterland of Manchuria, and as for the Tang Qiuli troops on the front line of Chen Bing Jinzhou and Linghai, there is no sign of a large-scale military offensive for the time being.
For this reason, Ueda Kenkichi sent a secret note to Emperor Hirohito, "His Majesty the Emperor, the minister Ueda Kenkichi bowed down, and the ministers and his subordinates discussed the results of a secret meeting for many days, and the key issue in Manchuria at present is to completely solve the existence of the anti-union forces, the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli is an external trouble, and the red beard of the Anti-Japanese Federation is an internal worry, and the internal worry is not eliminated, let alone resist the external trouble, therefore, the entire strength of the Kwantung Army should be used to exterminate the anti-union forces and restore order in Manchuria, which was originally scheduled for the beginning of October of this year, The launch of an attack on the troops of the North China Independent Division entrenched in Jinzhou will definitely be delayed, please ask Your Majesty Xià En and others to request"
Emperor Hirohito sighed when he saw Ueda Kenkichi's recital, he believed that Ueda was telling the truth, even if the Kwantung Army was replenished to the original strength, the training of the soldiers would not be enough to fight a large-scale offensive battle with Tang Qiuli's troops, pacify the situation in Manchuria, and avoid having time to drag Ueda Kenkichi's later tuǐer.
He gave the imperial approval to Ueda Kenkichi's recital: "This construction is accurate, I hope to be sympathetic to my grace, and live up to my high hopes" Ueda Kenkichi, who received the permission of His Majesty the Emperor, immediately mobilized his troops and went to various parts of the Northeast to carry out the task of clearing and suppressing the forces of the Coalition, the Kwantung Army troops pressed the border, and the situation of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation immediately became difficult, the battle was extremely cruel, and the harsh winter of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army came ahead of schedule.
After receiving the information from the Northeast Intelligence Station, the various units of the special operations detachment that penetrated into the entire territory of Northeast China, after completing the scheduled tasks, in accordance with the instructions of division commander Tang Qiuli, had already withdrawn from the northeast in batches and returned to North China before the Kwantung Army launched a large-scale clean-up campaign.
Along the way, try to hide his whereabouts as much as possible to avoid clashes with the Kwantung Army and the Manchurian ** troops, his whereabouts are secretive, Tang Qiuquan is on a special secret mission, and he is the only one who knows the specific content of this top-secret mission in the entire special operations force advancing eastward, that is, Tang Qiuli issued an order in code language, "The day has arrived, and the roses have opened"
The relative calm of the Jinzhou front line in western Liaoning gave Tang Qiuli more time to calmly adjust his deployment, rectify the rear, and lay a manpower and material foundation for the next large-scale operation.
On 14 July, Tang Qiuli issued an order to transfer Liu Tiehan's Dongzhi troops, leave Tianjin, rush to the Jinzhou defense line, and take over Feng Jiwu's Niangziguan Corps, all the defense of the Jinzhou front directly under the independent division, Sun Zhenbang's corps, and continue to stay in Jinzhou, so that on the Jinzhou front, there will be 280,000 troops of the two corps of the independent division, which can maintain the relative pressure on the Kwantung Army and resist the large-scale offensive of the Kwantung Army.
And Liu Tiehan's East Command Army, the vast majority of the soldiers are former Northeast Army soldiers, transferred them to Jinzhou, looking at their hometown from afar, still under the trampling of the iron hooves of the little devils, the old folks are still suffering from the humiliation of the slaves who died in the country, there is no way to return home, tears in their eyes, eager to kill back to their hometown immediately, once the war breaks out, there is no need to mobilize before the war, all the soldiers of the East Command Army, not to kill the Japanese with red eyes, this burst of murderous aura, can be indestructible, this is Tang Qiuli's deep intention to mobilize the East Command troops to the front line in Jinzhou.
In view of the small number of troops in this corps, the three divisions of the Central Army that were transferred to the front line in Tianjin were assigned to the command of Yuan Jinghao to jointly undertake the defense of Pingjin. It can be used as a mobile force to support Liu Tiehan's troops.
Among several commanders of the second-line corps of the Independent Division, Tang Qiuli recognized Yuan Jinghao's ability very much, and his appearance during the garrison in Henan was enough to impress the division commander, so Tang Qiuli's secret order to Yuan Jinghao was to gradually tolerate and digest the three divisions of the Central Army, and finally, completely incorporate them into the sequence of the independent divisions.
Tang Qiusheng's Sulu Mobile Corps, the Corps directly under the Division Headquarters of the Independent Division, Feng Jiwu's Niangziguan Garrison Corps, and Changfeng's Taihang Mountain Field Corps gathered in the Pingjin area to rest, no one knows, what is the intention of the division commander to concentrate so many troops in the Pingjin area?
What made all the senior generals of the Independent Division even more surprising was that Tang Qiuli sent a large number of engineering troops to the Erenhot area at the boundary between East Méng Ancient and Outer Méngjiāo to build two field airfields, and required to be completed at the end of August, less than two months, the difficulty of this project, it can be imagined, fortunately, the Independent Division Transportation Headquarters, immediately opened the Jiāo transportation line from Dingbian to Erenhot, a steady stream of materials, soon to ensure the normal progress of the construction, that era were propeller aircraft, Less stringent requirements for airport runways and infrastructure.
Using the more than 100 Japanese "Zero" fighters captured at the Songshan Airport in Jinzhou, the first batch of more than 260 flight cadets who graduated from the Dingbian Branch of the National Civil Affairs Central Aviation School finally had the opportunity to fly into the blue sky.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of the independent division to recover North China and make a name for itself, Tang Qiuli set up conscription offices all over the country, and batches of enthusiastic young people entered the troops of the independent division, and all the recruits recruited in North China were sent to the Huangya Dòng base for military training for half a year, and the recruits recruited in the area south of the Yangtze River were all sent to Dingbian for military training for half a year. Keeping Dean Jiang Baili busy.
At the same time, Tang Qiuli also sent a telegram to Liu Hanzhang to prepare for the establishment of a large number of institutions of higher learning, such as the Administrative Cadre Management College, the Economic Cadre Management College, and the Architecture College, in Dingbian to reserve talents for the future, and the Border Garrison District Command issued an order to set up an independent division reserve corps of no less than 20 brigades in Dingbian in early October this year, which is more than 240,000 troops. It's nothing more than actual combat experience.
In the eyes of these people, Tang Qiuli was digging into their corners and getting them on his head, and how could he be willing to regard the area he occupied as his own territory, and he didn't want his own troops to flow out.
What is the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War, if you are not annexed, it is the overall situation of the fundamental xìng, and you can't shake Tang Qiuli head-on, and you have complained to the National Government Supervision Yuan, and for a while, the complaint letter flew to Chongqing in the southwest.
