The national troops guarding the Taierzhuang and Xuzhou areas include Sun Lianzhong's Second Army, Tang Enbo's 20th Army, Li Pinxian's 11th Army, Liu Xiang's 21st Army, Deng Xihou's 22nd Army, Yu Xue
Zhong's 51st Army, Zhang Zizhong's 59th Army, Lu Han's 60th Army and other units.
Perhaps the biggest change is the "9th Cavalry Division". Historically, this unit participated in the Battle of Taierzhuang. However, in parallel time and space, the 9th Cavalry Division has become a maneuver card of the National Defense Force. At this time, it is guarding the direction of Inner Mongolia and deterring foreign troops.
Mongolia and Soviet Russia.
A shocking collision between over a million troops from China and Japan is about to take place!
However, will history really repeat itself?
The Japanese army is no longer the same Japanese army in history. After the defeat in the Battle of Peking and Tianjin, the Japanese army's firepower configuration became more powerful and its tactical level became higher. Historically, the first-level Japanese army units were generally three-division systems and were rarely independent.
combat units, but at this time, in order to be on par with the National Defense Forces, the Japanese military-level units implemented a five-division system; the independent combat units added two heavyweight units, the independent heavy artillery brigade and the independent armored brigade; the division level added a combat unit
The vehicle regiment (it was a tank regiment at the same time in history, or even non-existent) and the field artillery regiment have been strengthened, and the heavy firepower configuration at the regiment level and group level is more than 50% stronger than at the same time in history.
Of course, the strength of the national army has also increased. Since the National Defense Force was able to manufacture arms, in the export of arms, as long as you pay for the central army series of the national army, it is basically a configuration of one division and one mountain artillery regiment, while other miscellaneous armies,
Then an army sells a mountain artillery regiment.
According to relevant information, there was only one "4th Artillery Regiment" of the National Army participating in the defense battle of Taierzhuang. In fact, there may be more than one artillery regiment, but this number cannot exceed 3; while the National Army Artillery Regiment gathered in Taierzhuang in parallel time and space, at least
There are 10 mountain artillery regiments.
In terms of air force, the Japanese Army has the 2nd Flying Group, which has more than 200 combat aircraft. The combat aircraft of the National Army are better than the same period in history. Until the war, there are still about 400 combat aircraft in existence; however, the Japanese Army can obtain the Kwantung Army
With the timely support of the Air Force and the Japanese Air Force in East China, fast-moving aircraft from Japan can also reach North China.
Although Wu Aihua attacked Shanghai Hongqiao Airport and captured more than 200 aircraft, that was not the entire Japanese air force in East China, but only half of it.
In addition, although the firepower of the national army has been significantly strengthened and the number of German weapon divisions has also increased, the training level of the national army has still not improved. The mentality of "serving as a soldier and eating food" among soldiers has not been fundamentally changed. Upper-level officers are afraid of war.
The mentality of cherishing war still exists, and tactical command is still rigid. It is really difficult to predict the outcome of this war.
Perhaps, the only variable on the battlefield is the action of the National Defense Force, China's strongest military force. If the National Defense Force uses two strategic forces, the armored division and the artillery division, to attack Lieutenant General Higashiya Nahiko's third army during the war between the two armies.
2 Army, thereby quickly seizing a large area of land in Hebei, which is very likely to cause the Japanese army in Xuzhou and Taierzhuang areas to be attacked from both sides.
The expansion of the National Defense Forces at this time has not yet begun. The 1st Army, plus the teaching division, armored division and artillery division, as well as Li Jinkun's 6 Chahar garrison divisions, are only the number of soldiers compared with the Japanese 9th Army and 2nd Army.
Slightly less. However, if the National Defense Forces have to deal with the two armies of the Japanese army and want to eat one of them, they have to take a huge risk. This risk is not the loss of the National Defense Force itself, but the massive construction of Baotou.
It is very likely to be damaged or even lost. As for Baotou, everyone in the National Defense Forces understands that it is the heart and soul of Commander-in-Chief Wu Aihua and cannot be lost. Wu Aihua's task for the Northern Group of the National Defense Forces is to ensure that Baotou is not lost first.
In addition, the National Defense Forces also have the 1st Air Force Regiment in the north. This unit, which made great achievements in the night attack on Tianjin, is even more powerful at this time. However, the total number of aircraft in this regiment is only 200. If the National Army
The theater commander negotiated well with the National Defense Forces, and the 1st Regiment of the National Defense Forces Air Force was able to support the fierce battle in Taierzhuang. The straight-line distance from Caijiayu, the Northern Air Force Base of the National Defense Forces, to the Taierzhuang area was within 600 kilometers. After the National Defense Forces Air Force fighter jets arrived in the sky above Taierzhuang, there were at least half
hours of combat time.
This time, because Li Delin was the commander and first commander of the theater, and the Xuzhou area was close to the Japanese front line, Chiang Kai-shek was very talkative and agreed to the air support of the Northern Air Force of the National Defense Forces for the Taierzhuang operation.
In the past two years, especially since the July 7th Incident, Chiang Kai-shek's mentality has undergone extremely subtle changes. In the past, he was to guard against g and counter-g. However, this Zhu Mao failed to guard against and annihilate a more powerful military force.
Forces appeared on Chinese soil. Dozens of divisions were mobilized to annihilate them in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly, their own troops retreated thousands of miles overnight. Hundreds of thousands of national troops and hundreds of generals became prisoners of others and were lost forever.
Fujian and Jiangxi, and Chahar was lost in the Ping-Tianjin battle. Chiang Kai-shek suspected that if there was another battle, the territory controlled by the national army would most likely be greatly reduced.
Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek is no longer as flamboyant in handling internal affairs as in the past, but is more timid. He is afraid that Wu Aihua will really offend Wu Aihua, and this Lang Touqing, who has never been unreasonable, suddenly launches an attack. He does not feel that his moral weapons
The division was able to hold Nanjing. Because of this, Chiang Kai-shek feared and hated Wu Aihua. Of course, he also admired Wu Aihua a little bit.
With such a mentality, how could Chiang Kai-shek dare to allow the National Defense Forces Air Force to station at the airport near Nanjing? That was his hometown and base camp.
In the historical Battle of Taierzhuang and the Battle of Xuzhou, the Japanese Central China Front attacked from south to north in an attempt to occupy Bengbu and Fengyang, and then moved north along Jinpu Road to join forces with the Japanese North China Front. The Japanese army failed to achieve its strategic purpose and instead suffered losses.
thousands of people.
Wu Aihua's time travel turned the Central China Front Army into the East China Front Army. Moreover, the East China Front Army was attacked by the National Defense Force's Lightning Force, Swordfish Commando, Air Force and the "Robbery Trio", and its plot to occupy Nanjing failed. Therefore, the North and South
The strategic goal of docking does not exist at all. The direct purpose of this change of the Japanese army is to engage in a decisive battle with the main force of the National Army and continue to implement the strategy of "picking peaches and picking soft ones". The hidden purpose may be to see the National Defense Forces.
In response, after all, the Japanese army still has a strategic force, the South China Front, which is still hidden in Taiwan and has not taken action.
After the embarrassing defeat of the Japanese army in East China, the young soldiers in Japan arrogantly clamored for "revenge" and advocated an immediate retaliatory attack on the National Defense Forces (intelligence showed that the "devils" finally disappeared in Fujian), and the Japanese underworld organization Black Dragon Society asked
The Japanese army base camp petitioned to send samurai and ninjas to deal with the hateful "wizard".
Finally, Japanese Emperor Hirohito acquiesced to the Black Dragon Society's request, and a group of about 20 so-called "masters" entered Shanghai before the Chinese Spring Festival. The military strategy was slightly adjusted. The original strategy was to "break through the Yangtze River and join forces."
"North China" was changed to "attack in the north and defend in the south, join forces in East China", and the following two sentences "attack Fujian and Guangdong together, unify China" have not changed. Of course, whether there is a change or not depends on the actions of the National Defense Forces.
The Japanese army's "attack in the north and defend in the south" strategy was also a strategy used by the Japanese army in another time and space.
However, the reorganization of the National Defense Force has been completed. Will Wu Aihua let the Japanese army lead him?
On February 12, 1938, the Japanese Third Army under Yamashita Fengwen moved south from Weixian (today's Weifang). Within a few days, it conquered Yishui, Juxian, and Rizhao, and headed straight for Linyi.
Historically, the National Army that guarded Linyi was the 40th Army of Pang Bingxun's 3rd Army. When the Japanese 5th Division attacked Linyi, Li Zongren sent Zhang Zizhong's 59th Army to support and severely damaged the Japanese army in Linyi. However, this time
The Japanese offensive was several times that of the same period in history. Because of this, in addition to the 3rd Army Corps, the national troops on the front line in Linyi also included Li Pinxian's 11th Army Group, Liu Xiang's 21st Army, Zhang Zizhong's 59th Army, and Yu Xuezhong's 51st Army.
Army. China and Japan formed a confrontation on the Linyi and Junan front lines, with artillery rumbling all day long.
The commander of the Japanese 1st Army, Kozuki Kiyoshi, was previously the commander of the Japanese garrison in North China, and Yamashita Tomomi was only the major general commander of the 40th Brigade of the 20th Division under his command. Who knew that there was someone in Yamashita Tomomi's court? In less than a year,
From the brigade commander and the front army chief of staff to the commander of the 3rd Army, he was completely on the same level as himself.
Therefore, when Kozuki Kiyoshi saw that Yamashita Fengwen fought extremely fiercely and achieved impressive results, he became impatient and urged his troops to rush towards the Chinese defenders.
On February 17, the 20th Division of Lieutenant General Bunzaburo Kawagishi of the Japanese 1st Army arrived in Teng County. Sun Zhen, the 41st Army of Deng Xihou's 22nd Army, who rushed to Tengxian County, quickly engaged the enemy. The 122nd Division of the Japanese Army was responsible for the defense.
The county seat of Teng County.
The 20th Division of the Japanese Army is one of the first 17 permanent divisions formed by the Japanese Army. Its combat power is extremely strong. The division commander is Lieutenant General Fumiyamaro Kawagishi, the chief of staff is Major General Kimura Kuzo, and the 39th Brigade is under the jurisdiction of Major General Takagi Yoshito.
, the 40th Brigade was led by Major General Yoshio Yuetsuki (who took over Harufumi Yamashita's original post), as well as the 28th Cavalry Regiment, the 26th Field Artillery Regiment, the 20th Tank Regiment, the 20th Engineer Regiment and other units directly under the division, with a total strength of more than 25,000 people.
This 20th Division has actually been defeated by the National Defense Forces for a long time. On the afternoon of July 11, 1937, the 3rd and 4th Regiments of the National Defense Forces Instruction Division cooperated with the 9th Cavalry Division of the National Army and annihilated the 26th Field Artillery Regiment.
The 20th Engineer Regiment and the 28th Cavalry Regiment came out and killed three Japanese regiment captains: Hosokawa Nakayasu, Minami Kaoru, and Okazaki Masaichi, and captured the flags of the 28th Cavalry Regiment and the 20th Field Artillery Regiment.
However, the Japanese army, the most shameless force in the world, still rebuilt the 28th Cavalry Regiment and the 20th Field Artillery Regiment.
Later generations of military history experts studied this period of history, such as Lieutenant General Kawagishi Bunzaburo. Why did so many people serve as military commanders?
During the war with the Soviet Union), he only served as the division commander, even though his division later became the ace division of the 1st Army and made many military exploits in the battle to attack Shandong. Military history experts have found that
The conclusion reached was beyond people's expectations, that is, two regiments under his command lost their military flags, humiliating the entire Japanese army, and Kawagishi Fumiyamaro had to pay the bill.
