By the time Li Mingfeng withdrew to the Jianping front line, it indicated that the large-scale fighting in this battle was basically over. After two and a half months of hard fighting, the Anti-Japanese Alliance suffered more than 200,000 casualties, almost half of the army's combat troops.
The highest casualty record since the reorganization. At the cost of the loss of more than 300 tanks and 276 combat aircraft.
In the major battlefields of Northeast China, northern Shanxi, Suidong, Rehe, and Chaxi, not counting the advancing troops and the various units participating in the Anti-Japanese War, a total of nine Japanese divisions were wiped out, three were basically wiped out, and four were severely damaged.
A total of nearly 300,000 enemies were annihilated. The Japanese garrison in Mongolia, the Kwantung Army and most of the North China Front were wiped out.
Completely regained the area north of the Great Wall in Shanxi, most of Suiyuan and the entire Jehol. And pushed the entire front in the Northeast to the Siping line, liberated Xinjing, the core of the Kwantung Army's rule in the Northeast, and destroyed South Manchuria.
Most of the Japanese military industrial industry compressed the Kwantung Army into the territory of the former Liaoning Province.
Although Siping failed to be finally won in the Northeastern battlefield, most of the combat objectives were basically achieved. Although a heavy price was paid, the entire army suffered too many casualties, and more than half of the tanks and aircraft were lost, but a direct line with the battlefield inside the pass was finally opened.
.Laid a good foundation for making full use of the rich human resources in the customs in the future.
The advancing army in the Cha'nan battlefield also paid one-third of the casualties. It basically captured the entire Cha'nan, regained the important town of Zhangjiakou in northern Saibei, and opened up the direct connection between the base outside the customs and the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region. The Japanese army was completely wiped out.
Two independent mixed brigades basically annihilated one division and severely damaged another division.
Although the Jidong Military Region and the Jizhong Military Region could not recover for the time being after this battle, the Pingxi and Pingbei base areas were all restored. Even the two main base areas of Pingxi and Beiyue were expanded to a certain extent. The most critical thing is that
Through this battle, a group of troops and commanders suitable for modern combat were trained.
During the battle, the Jizhong Military Region selected a group of capable personnel and assigned a group of armed forces. Taking advantage of the overall situation of the Japanese army retreating to Baoding during the battle, it returned to the Jizhong base area. Through efforts, it restored part of the guerrilla zone and restored part of the
Although the grassroots political power has not reached the peak of its heyday, it is still a good start.
After the battle, not only the Japanese North China Front suffered the heaviest damage since its establishment, and lost its offensive capabilities for a long period of time, even reaching the point where self-protection was insufficient. The Kwantung Army also suffered heavy losses, with more than half of its strength.
Being surrounded or severely injured.
The biggest loss to the Kwantung Army was not the loss of troops, but the heavy damage suffered by South Manchuria's military industry. In particular, the Fengtian Arsenal, which was responsible for most of the ammunition supply for the entire Japanese invasion of China, was forced to suspend production, which even jeopardized the entire invasion.
Ammunition supply to the Chinese and Japanese troops.
At the same time, the great impact of this battle is not limited to the Anti-Alliance, the armed forces behind enemy lines in North China and the Japanese troops inside and outside the pass. After the battlefield in northern Shanxi ended, we faced a new situation in which the Anti-Alliance armored cavalry group had entered Shanxi. And this battle
This caused a huge change in the situation on the entire Chinese battlefield. While Chongqing was dumbfounded, it also felt a strong sense of crisis.
After reading the report of the Military Command and the World War II Zone and the Eighth Theater Command on the troops and equipment used by the Anti-Japanese Alliance in the northern Shanxi battlefield, as well as the strategies and tactics used in the northern Shanxi battlefield, the most important thing is the report of the equipment invested. The person from Chongqing
The first person, while cursing that the Americans and the British were not the same thing, also felt a chill on the back of his neck.
Is this still the Tubal Road of the past? If the troops in Yan'an have such strong combat effectiveness and such good equipment, then does China still own the world? Niang Xipi, is this too much for the United States and Britain?
?Having given Yan'an so much equipment, who is the legitimate government of China?
He did not take the tactics used by the Anti-Japanese Alliance too seriously in this battle. But he really could not accept that among the equipment invested by the Anti-Japanese Alliance, there were a large number of tanks and aircraft made by the United Kingdom and the United States. Niang Xipi, himself a Chinese
For the legitimate government, asking for equipment from the Americans is like killing them.
A full half year has passed since the Pearl Harbor incident, and the Americans have only given them more than 60 unwanted aircraft and tens of thousands of rifles. The British have only given them a bunch of junk they captured on the North African battlefield, plus some money they received from the Americans before.
Bought second-hand goods. Those shabby Italian rifle machine guns and artillery. Not to mention not many bullets, many rifles didn't even have bolts.
Fortunately, when we got there, we were not given machine guns, but we were given so many tanks and aircraft. This leader in Chongqing did not believe at all those British-made Crusader tanks and British-made Crusader tanks that the Anti-Japanese Alliance put into the battlefield.
Fighter-bombers were purchased by Yan'an, which was extremely poor, and spent a lot of money to buy them.
Not to mention the Yan'an side, they simply don't have the strength to buy it. Even if they do, the British, who are too busy taking care of themselves at the moment, will not sell it. Those weapons and equipment must be supported by the British. There are also Americans who can't even sell them.
Seven bombers can be given to them. Don’t they know that those bombers can not only bomb Japan, but also bomb Chongqing and the entire rear area?
When the Americans mobilized these bombers to pass through the rear area, didn't they mean to go to the Soviet Union via China? Why did these bombers appear in the northeast of China? And would they appear on the battlefield in northern Shanxi? Are they really serious about this?
Are my intelligence agencies all blind, or don't know their planes?
As for what the United States and Britain keep saying, those tanks, light bombers and other equipment were given to the Soviets. As for whether the Soviets handed them over to the Northeast Communist Army, they don't know, and they don't have the ability to take care of it.
The first person didn't believe it at all. He thought this was the United States and Britain, playing with him like a child.
But when he had to ask for help, even though he cursed Niang Xipi ten thousand times in his heart, all he could do was to continue to strongly protest to the United States and Britain through the embassies in the United States and Britain.
In addition to protesting against the transfer of weapons and equipment originally provided to Chongqing by the two countries to the Anti-Japanese Alliance, they also continued to make serious representations to the US and British military delegations in China.
It has been repeatedly emphasized that they are the legitimate government of China, and only they are qualified to receive assistance from the United States and Britain. This move by the United States and Britain is suspected of provoking a civil war in China. As for whether the United States and Britain will finally stop giving aid to that
It is not up to him to decide how to provide assistance.
However, although the protests in Chongqing did not actually stop the United States and Britain from assisting the Anti-Japanese Alliance, the aid policies of the United States and Britain were obviously greatly affected. When the Americans provided assistance, they did not provide other materials.
Changes occurred. However, some changes were made in the performance of the weapons and equipment provided.
The best reflection of this problem is in the assistance of combat aircraft of the Anti-Alliance Alliance. In addition to the strategic bombers that ensure the bombing of Japan, the overall performance of the assistance of tactical aircraft of the Anti-Alliance Alliance, especially the assistance of fighter jets, has always remained at
Second-rate upper class.
After the P51 Mustang fighter and the P47 Thunder fighter entered service, they always refused to assist the Anti-Japanese Alliance. These two piston fighters had the best performance in the entire World War II. First, they only provided them with outdated piston fighters in the European battlefield, and basically withdrew from the British Army.
British-made Hurricane fighter jets of the army's front-line combat units.
After the Hurricane fighter jets provided by the British were no longer able to compete with the latest fighter jets of the Japanese Army Air Force, which gradually transferred its main combat units to the Chinese battlefield, the Americans who took over the main assistance still only provided second-rate
The P-40 and P-39 fighters.
The Anti-Japanese Alliance has used almost all P-40 fighter models, from the earliest A-type to the last N-type. In terms of equipment quantity, it even surpasses the US military to a certain extent. Because compared to the P-40 fighter, the Soviet Union
The army prefers the P-39 fighter jet equipped with a 37mm aerial cannon and anti-tank capability.
Because of the performance of the P39 fighter jets, it has become increasingly unable to cope with the situation on the Asian battlefield. The Anti-Japanese League coordinated with them and exchanged a batch of A20 attack aircraft with the Soviets using P39 fighter jets to satisfy their own needs for imitating the Iraqi
Before the Er-2 was put into production, there was a need for tactical attack aircraft.
In this way, although the Americans provided a large number of P39 fighter jets to the Anti-Japanese Alliance, the number of equipment in the army was far less than that of P40 fighter jets. After the US military replaced the P51 fighter jets, they simply eliminated themselves
The P40 that came down were transferred to the Anti-Japanese League and Chongqing.
Before the end of the Anti-Japanese War, the fighter force of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, except for a few imitation Soviet pull-type fighters, was already composed of American-made P-40 fighters and British-made Hurricane fighters. By the end of World War II, these two types were already second-rate, and they were simply unable to compete with the new Japanese fighter jets.
Fighters versus fighters.
The actions of the Americans forced the Anti-Alliance Aviation Forces to compete for air supremacy with the Japanese new-style Falcon, Zhongkui, Feiyan, and Hayate fighter jets on the battlefield. They could only fly fighters with inferior performance to fight against them. The generational difference in aircraft performance made the Anti-Alliance Air Forces
The losses during the battle were considerable.
Especially because the Feiyan fighter jets using liquid-cooled engines were unable to live up to the expectations of the Japanese army in the humid and hot battlefields of Southeast Asia, and they were all transferred to the southern Manchuria battlefield. When confronting the only liquid-cooled fighter jets of the Japanese army,
The Anti-Alliance Air Force's P-40 fighters and Hurricane fighters paid a heavy price.
After the Hayate came on the scene, the P-40 fighter seemed to be too old to be an opponent. Even the latest N type was no match for these two enemy aircraft. In the battle for air supremacy, the anti-alliance fighter force suffered huge losses. In the P4-4
Within a period of time in the first half of the year, the ratio of battle losses on both sides reached a level that was unacceptable to the aviation force.
Faced with the backward performance of fighter jets, which were increasingly unable to compete with the new Japanese aircraft, and the Americans always refused to provide new fighter jets. In desperation, Yang Zhen traded 500 M IV tanks for two tanks from the Soviet Union.
One hundred La5 FNs and one hundred La7 fighters could barely compete with the Japanese army's two new fighter jets with excellent performance.
The Americans have always refused to provide P-51 long-range fighter jets, which also prevented the Anti-Japanese Alliance from providing effective long-range escort for bombers when bombing Japan. Even the Yak-9 long-range fighter jets provided by the Soviets could only barely meet the needs. The United States
These things that happened in the provision of combat aircraft made the Anti-Japanese Alliance very passive in combat.
Compared with the better fighter jets, the Americans have gone even further when it comes to medium-range bombers and attack aircraft. The aircraft they provide are mainly short-range A-20 attack aircraft and British-made Blenheim bombers, which no longer provide long-range aircraft.
The B-25 and B-26 medium-range bombers were only given a batch of engines to replace the Soviet-made medium bomber engines in the Anti-Japanese Alliance that had reached the end of their lifespan.
The Americans still refused to provide medium bombers because the number of A-20 attack aircraft could not meet their needs, and the Anti-Japanese Alliance was in extreme need of tactical support aircraft. Instead, they provided a batch of SBD dive bombers that had been replaced by the Navy.
As well as the Army model A24 dive bombers that the Army does not need.
