Chapter 8 Section 2 Marching in Multiple Ways New
As planned, the Chinese anti-Japanese forces prepared to divide the land and water armies into multiple routes to attack the Japanese army.
Route 1 is
The large units of the "Republican Army": the 103rd Army of the Guangxi Army, the 101st Army, the 91st Army of the Guangdong Army, the 71st Army of the Yunnan Army, and the 21st Army of the Northeastern Army (after the army was reorganized, the original 39th Army was changed to the 21st Army according to the military district number)
,22nd Army
), the 23rd Army of the Northwest Army, the 81st Army and the 13th Army of the Guizhou Army, a total of 8 armies, the 1st and 2nd Artillery Divisions, the 1st Cavalry Division, and the 1st and 2nd Armored Divisions, with a total of nearly 600,000 main troops, divided into 3
battle batch:
The 1st batch: Also known as the "High 1st Column," nearly 260,000 people from the 21st Army of the Northeast Army, the 81st Army of the Guizhou Army, the 13th Army, the 1st Armored Division, the 1st Artillery Division, and the 1st and 2nd Cavalry Brigade from Shenmu
Set off and head west via the Inner Mongolia front line, preparing to launch an attack from the Baicheng front line;
The 2nd batch: Also known as the "Gao 2nd Column," nearly 240,000 people from the 23rd Army of the Northwest Army, the 103rd Army of the Guangxi Army, the 71st Army of the Yunnan Army, the 2nd Armored Division, the 2nd Artillery Division, and the 3rd Cavalry Brigade passed through Shanxi
Entering Hebei, prepare to launch an attack from the paddock and Fengning line to the Chifeng line.
The third batch is the backup for this forward force. It mainly assists the 1st and 2nd columns from Mongolia to fill the gaps and strengthen the connection between various departments.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also urgently mobilized nearly 1,000 aircraft at Shenmu, Taiyuan and Zhangjiakou airports to prepare for air support for these armies.
Of course, Commander-in-Chief Gao has also issued special combat readiness orders to all military regions. Each military region is also urgently conducting training for various garrison units and strengthening militia training to prepare for future war losses in various departments.
The second line is the "People's Party"'s third column, consisting of eight armies with nearly 300,000 men, preparing to attack in two lines along the Miyun and Xinglong lines.
The third route is the main force of the Kuomintang. A total of 6 armies from Shandong, Shanxi and the Central Army plus a teaching corps of about 220,000 people have been mobilized. They are preparing to set off from Peiping and Tianjin, cross the Luanhe River, and then exit Shanhaiguan.
All units moved forward in unison to the north.
The various departments of the "Chinese Anti-Japanese Allied Forces" in the Northeast were also divided into two groups, the East and the West, to attack the Japanese troops from the north, east, and west at the same time.
The high-ranking navy still sent the 1st Naval Division out of the Yangtze River and northward along the coast to station in the Bohai Bay, preparing to attack the Japanese coastal forces or remaining naval forces.
There are: cruiser "Hanyang", destroyer "Xiangfan", 4 self-built destroyers with a displacement of 2,600 tons, 8 small ships of 300-500 tons converted from cargo ships, 1 German-made submarine, 2
torpedo boats and more than 50 self-produced submarines of all levels. The cruiser "Hanyang" also carries 36 fighter jets and 16 bombers.
The National Army Navy has long since repaired the six Japanese warships captured by Commander-in-Chief Gao last time, and they have been appropriately modified and included in the National Army Navy formation. This time they also dispatched "Guojian" and "Guochang"
"(named in commemoration of Commander-in-Chief Gao's victory over the Japanese Navy) and the "Cathay" and other 1 cruiser, 3 destroyers and 8 gunboats, together with the 1st Navy Division, formed a joint naval formation to go north to fight against Japan.
With advanced radar technology and underwater submarine groups, Commander-in-Chief Gao is still full of confidence in the navy.
The reorganized original 19th Army (99th Army of the Guangdong Army) was transferred back to Zhanjiang, Guangdong to garrison in Beihai because it wanted to protect the safety of the construction of the Beihai Naval Port. This time, it seemed that the anti-Japanese war had no role of its own. The two eldest brothers were with Gao Xiaodi.
He was so anxious that he received only one telegram a day, so Commander-in-Chief Gao had no choice but to ask the 99th Army of the Guangdong Army to send his 21st Division, along with 8 warships and 12 submarines from the 2nd Navy Division, to go north.
Commander Gao paid off his plan and asked the 99th Army to establish a new base in the Laoshan area and let the Navy's secret base cooperate with the 99th Army's operations. This was also to facilitate the landing operations against Japan and to lay the foundation for the future war of resistance.
Since the 99th Army arrived in Zhanjiang and Beihai, at the request of Commander-in-Chief Gao, the unit has been conducting naval landing training. The Guangdong Army has virtually become the Marine Corps.
In order to allow the common people in Northeast China to stay away from the cities controlled by the Japanese army as soon as possible, to avoid the war, and to take this opportunity to attack the Japs in various parts of our country, and to take back the Japanese concessions in Shanghai, Peiping, Qingdao, Tianjin and other places.
Commander-in-Chief Gao sent a telegram to the whole country on August 14, 1934: Starting from 0:00 on August 15, 1934, the country will be cleared and the Japanese will be expelled. In order to allow the Japanese military ministries and agencies to have sufficient time to evacuate, our army
From 0:00 on September 1, 1934, tough measures will be taken against the Japanese who remain in our country and they will be deported.
At the same time, it also requested the Japanese army to release Chinese workers in various mining areas, and called on Chinese people in enemy-occupied areas to leave the city as much as possible to avoid the war.
In order to prevent the little devils from detaining and making things difficult for the Chinese people and workers in the mining areas, Commander-in-Chief Gao also proposed to the Japanese government that once the Japanese army made any trouble, the Chinese army would also use more harsh methods to treat all Japanese in China.
Under the main attack of the National Army, the "Rent Collection Operation" coordinated by the Jiaolong Brigade, Wolfhounds and Flying Tigers under the "Gao Family Army" also started shortly after the declaration of war against Japan.
Whether it is an urban street battle, a critical battle or a spy operation, Commander-in-Chief Gao is also testing the results of the final training of various departments in the early period.
Although this electrification was considered to be a bit too much in the eyes of some pseudo-Taoists, it nevertheless aroused a new anti-Japanese upsurge throughout the country.
Seeing the little devils who used to show off their power in various places fleeing like lost dogs, the common people felt a joy that they had never experienced before.
The Japanese also released nearly 50,000 miners from more than a dozen mining areas, and did not take excessive measures to prevent ordinary people from fleeing the city.
Therefore, in addition to intensifying inspections of the belongings carried by the Japanese at customs, docks and other places, the Chinese in the land of etiquette did not create too many difficulties during the evacuation of the little Japanese.
However, although the arrogant Japanese evacuated Japanese expatriates in various places, they did not evacuate the concessions. Instead, they strengthened defenses in the concessions along the coast. Under the condition that they could not re-increase their troops, they still resorted to smuggling to the coast.
Nearly 10,000 additional Japanese troops and ronin were sent to the concessions in various places. They also organized and mobilized the remaining "expatriates" to join in the resistance.
Without sea transportation, the little devil also began to intensively mobilize troops through its powerful air force and fishing boats from South Korea and North Korea, and urgently built three temporary airports on the Korean Peninsula, preparing to take advantage of its air superiority.
The tenacious fighting power of the Kwantung Army dealt a fatal blow to the Chinese army.
For more than a month, the Little Devils broke into pieces and sent six of their main divisions to the northeast. The total number of the Kwantung Army exceeded 500,000. During that period, the main task of Dandong Port was to transport troops from North Korea
Secretly transport these little devils.
The Japanese Air Force, which has nearly 3,000 aircraft in six flying groups, is eager to try.
Chapter completed!
