Thinking of this, Guo Bingxun looked at Yang Zhen's confident eyes, suddenly laughed, pointed at the map and said: "Since the commander intends to fish in troubled waters, let's muddy the water for him. You see, if
Counting the 29th Japanese Division on the front line of Mudanjiang, 70% of the total strength of the Kwantung Army is with us. [.Com text]
"The large area behind them is actually extremely empty. Except for the Puppet Manchukuo military and police, there are almost no large and organized Japanese troops stationed. At this time, it would be a good opportunity to spread out the first army, and we
Once the war starts here, the pressure on them to launch guerrilla operations will be much lighter!"
"Especially the old guerrilla areas of the First Army are basically blank now, and the First Army has now been renovated and completed full training. The equipment situation has been greatly improved. The guerrilla experience of the generals at all levels of the First Army is also abnormal.
Rich, and they still have a left-behind force in Ning'an!"
"I wonder if we should discuss with Commander-in-Chief Yang and ask them to go west into the Xiaoxing'anling area and then move southward. They don't have to fight face-to-face with the Japanese and puppet troops. As long as they move the Jilin section of the China-Changchun Railway and the Xinjing-Tulu
Our railway lines, especially the Xinjing-Tumen railway, can be paralyzed during our war!"
"If possible, it would be best to paralyze the Binsui Railway, the lifeline of all the Japanese troops around us. As long as the Binsui Railway is paralyzed, the hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops on the front line will be cut off from all supplies. This will
It will be of great benefit to our follow-up operations. I don’t believe that just those few transport planes of the little devil can maintain so much supply for the Japanese army!"
"I wonder if the main force of the First Army should be stationed between Binsui Railway and Xintu Railway as a maneuver, and let the Korean Independent Division go along the Xintu Railway. They now have 1,600 to 700 people and are fully equipped.
We have also completed full training. Tumen, Hunchun, Helong, and Antu there are their old guerrilla areas and a gathering place for Koreans. They can definitely expand enough troops there!"
Yang Zhen nodded, but said: "I will talk to the commander-in-chief of the First Army about this matter, but don't mention the Binsui Railway first. First, this is not their old base, and they are not familiar with it. Second, this area
Now that the main force of the Kwantung Army is concentrated, the area along the railway will inevitably become a heavily defended area for the Japanese and puppet troops. They will encounter considerable difficulties when deploying along the Binsui Railway!"
"We only talk to them about our general ideas. As for how they will develop it, let them decide for themselves. In terms of experience in fighting guerrillas, we are far behind others. I think with the commander-in-chief of the First Army, as long as we provide
Come out, he will never stand idly by!"
Guo Bingxun nodded slightly, and when he was about to answer, his words were interrupted by Chen Long who hurried over. Chen Long handed over a telegram report; "No. 1, No. 3, Mole No. 1 came from Xinjing.
According to the intelligence, the deployment of Japanese troops on the Western Front will undergo major changes!"
"The Kwantung Army has received a secret telegram from the Japanese base camp. Due to the tense war situation in South China, the Fifth Division is about to be transferred back to the South China Front. According to Mole No. 1, the call from Tokyo Base Camp is very urgent and orders all the troops of the Fifth Division within five days.
The assembly was completed within a week, and everyone boarded the train in Muling and went straight to Dalian.
"Before June, we must arrive at Qinzhou Bay, Guangdong and land. The Fifth Division itself was in Guangxi at the end of last year. After being severely damaged by the Japanese fully mechanized Fifth Army in the Kunlun Pass battle, it was transferred to Manchuria for reinforcements. This time it was hurriedly
was transferred back to the South China Front Army, there should be some important situation happening!"
"However, because the Japanese army formed several divisions at once and there were not enough soldiers to distribute, they did not complete the reinforcements until the beginning of May. Unexpectedly, just after the reinforcements were completed, they were transferred back to the Tokyo base camp. At this time, the Kwantung Army
It can be said that you lost your wife and lost your troops!"
"This time, in order to complete the replenishment of the Fifth Division in the shortest time and restore the Fifth Division, a mixed division of Japanese infantry and artillery tanks, the Kwantung Army replenished the original independent Third Garrison into the Fifth Division in its entirety.
Regiment, the current independent third garrison was formed by the Kwantung Army using so-called local soldiers!"
After hearing Chen Long's report, Yang Zhen was slightly taken aback, quickly took the telegram, read it carefully, handed the telegram to Guo Bingxun and said to Chen Long: "Immediately send a message to Li Mingrui, the reconnaissance battalion directly under the headquarters currently operating behind the Japanese defense line.
Report, let him allocate a platoon to monitor the movements of the fifth division, and be sure to find out whether this information is true or false!"
After Chen Long turned around and left, Yang Zhen turned his attention back to the map. If this information was true and the Fifth Division was transferred away, then the Japanese unit would be his replacement. Muling's Eighth Division would still be there.
Weihe, Ning'an's 29th Division, and Umezu Yoshijiro should not look at this gap and not choose to make up for it.
It's just that what went wrong in the South China war situation caused the Japanese base camp to hastily transfer the fifth division away at this time. This information made Yang Zhen clearly feel something unusual.
Yang Zhen looked at the Japanese army deployment on the map, and Guo Bingxun, who was beside him, said after carefully reading the telegram: "The Fifth Division is the main division of the Japanese army. It is not currently under the Kwantung Army sequence, but is a Japanese base camp preparation.
The troops transferred to the Northeast this time are only for replenishment and are not stationed there for a long time!"
"The reason why the fifth division was transferred to Baoqing was, firstly, to take advantage of the situation to replenish the troops here, and secondly, to replace the ninth division that was originally scheduled to be transferred to the Kwantung Army, but was unable to arrive due to the civil war in the Kwantung.
In fact, the fifth division plays a substitute role. Now that the war situation in South China has changed, it is reasonable for the fifth division to be transferred!"
"According to the news from the central government, the Japanese army abolished the organizational structure of the 21st Army this time, upgraded the troops under its jurisdiction to the South China Front Army, and broke away from the Chinese dispatched army organization, and changed it to the direct jurisdiction of the base camp. This time
Is it because you want to transfer the Fifth Division over?"
Having said this, Guo Bingxun shook his head and said: "It's impossible. Although Europe is now in a mess and the German army has begun to attack France, France has not been defeated. Britain and France are still persisting. The Japanese themselves were supported by Britain and France.
How dare they touch the tiger's butt!"
"You know, if they really occupy French Indochina, they will indeed cut off the National Government's largest external channel, but they will also completely offend the United States, Britain, France, Europe and the United States, especially the United States. Once the Japanese threaten their interests
, Americans will never sit idly by and watch!”
"The Japanese's main strategic materials such as steel and oil now come from the United States and Southeast Asia and other British and French colonies. Once the United States and Britain are wary, the United States and Britain only need to cut off their sources of oil, tin, rubber and other strategic materials, and the Japanese will not be able to fight this war.
There is no way to continue fighting!"
Regarding Guo Bingxun's somewhat shocked words, Yang Zhen shook his head and said: "Old Guo, you really underestimated the ambitions of the Japanese. The Yunnan-Vietnam Railway in French Indochina is responsible for the transportation of more than 70% of the National Government's foreign purchases. Even if you are a little devil,
It has the ability to carry out air strikes on railway lines in China, but it cannot completely destroy the railways!"
"Even if they force the French colonial authorities to cut off railway transportation, it is still unclear whether the Europeans, especially the arrogant French, will listen to them. If they want to cut off the blood supply of China's war of resistance, the easiest thing to do is to directly send troops to occupy.
Especially now that Europe is raging with war, the French army is trying its best to resist the German invasion, and French Indochina is empty of troops. At this time, it is a rare opportunity for the Japanese!"
Speaking of the Japanese invading South China Front Army, Yang Zhen suddenly remembered an incident in which the South China Front Army invaded French Annan without permission. Among the three major actions of the Japanese army in World War II, the one that most affected the outcome of World War II was the South China Front Army's unauthorized armed invasion of French Annan. After France was defeated, in order to completely cut off the
China's external channel, the Japanese army took advantage of France's recent defeat and sent troops to occupy northern French Indochina.
And this incident really attracted the attention of the Americans. After the Japanese army invaded French Indochina, the Americans immediately imposed a trade embargo on Japan, cutting off Japan's ability to import steel and the Japanese military's production in order to make up for the lack of domestic steel production.
Channels for copper, nickel and other strategic materials urgently needed for arms.
In 1941, after the Japanese army completely moved south to conquer French Annan, the Americans immediately adopted an oil embargo. It was the Americans' determination to cut off the supply of strategic resources that the Japanese army desperately needed that made the Japanese finally decide to go south and
Launched Operation Pearl Harbor against the American Pacific Fleet.
At this time, the Japanese base camp transferred the Fifth Division back to the South China Front. I am afraid that this idea has already begun. It should be preparing for this matter. It is facing the pressure of hundreds of thousands of troops from the Fourth Theater of the National Government, especially from Guangxi.
After the Japanese Fifth Division was transferred to the Northeast for reinforcements, the South China Front Army was obviously lacking in strength.
After the Xuzhou Battle, the Fifth Division had been part of the 21st Army for a long time and participated in various combat operations such as the capture of Nanning. The Fifth Division, which had been specially trained in subtropical climate conditions on Hainan Island, was familiar with the terrain there.
, and the climate are very suitable.
If my guess is correct, then it is not surprising that the Japanese base camp transferred the Fifth Division at this time. I am afraid that the Japanese are already thinking of taking forceful action if negotiations fail.
.
But these are not important to me now. The most important thing is which unit the Japanese army will transfer to fill the gap when the Fifth Division is transferred. But no matter which division the Japanese army transfers to take over, for me
, the transfer of the Fifth Division is indeed quite good news.
Thinking of this, Yang Zhen tapped the map with his finger, turned around and said to Guo Bingxun next to him: "No matter which division the Japanese army mobilizes to take over the fifth division, our original plan remains unchanged. If the Japanese army mobilizes and deploys the second division behind,
If the 19th Division joins the war, we will have even more room for action!"
"It would be even better if they mobilized new divisions to participate in the war. We can take advantage of the time when the reinforcements have not yet arrived and the deployment is being adjusted. We can attack in advance and catch them off guard. Now let's compare us with the Kwantung Army.
Let’s see who is bolder!”
"Is Umezu Yoshijiro not waiting for the new deployment to be adjusted and Tokyo to replenish him to take over the fifth division's new troops to launch the attack, or should we strike first, Lao Guo, you see the Japanese troops who launched the attack are in the fifth division.
Evacuate everyone, how about the day we arrive in Dalian?"
