Chapter six hundred and fortieth one: Destruction can be expected
The country took back Outer Mongolia, which was a huge encouragement to the morale of the Chinese people. In the past few days, drinks were out of stock in all parts of the country, including the Japanese-controlled areas. In the Kuomintang-controlled areas, the sound of firecrackers was endless, and almost everyone joined in. The Chinese people have reason to be happy. Before, if they were not clear about the current situation of the country due to lack of information, now they can clearly feel that the strength of their country is becoming getting stronger and stronger,
The people were in high spirits, but the atmosphere in the main conference room of the State Council seemed a bit dull. The return of Outer Mongolia was indeed gratifying, but challenges also came with it. What Outer Mongolia implemented was the Soviet Union's system, which was incompatible with China's existing system. So what should we do? Regarding the implementation of governance power over Outer Mongolia, some people have proposed that the central government directly send people to re-establish the military and political teams of Outer Mongolia. They believe that as long as the two top priorities of military and political affairs are grasped, there will actually be a basis for exercising governance power; others have proposed the following: Like the Xuebing Military Special Zone, Outer Mongolia is given a certain degree of autonomy, while the central government takes military and diplomatic rights and interests into its hands... Ouyang Yun disagrees with both of the above. He believes that in order to govern Outer Mongolia well, it is still necessary to rely on Mongolia. People themselves, but at the same time, they cannot give the separatists an opportunity to take advantage of them. "Outer Mongolia is different from the Xuebing Military Special Zone. There are no ethnic issues in the Xuebing Military Special Zone, but if the ethnic issues in Outer Mongolia are not handled well, big things will happen. , and the consequences are endless... Therefore, autonomy is necessary, but we cannot simply separate Outer Mongolia into a special zone. What I mean is to merge Outer Mongolia and Inner Mongolia, plus the Far East region, and redivide it to establish a province. Level administrative unit..." Ouyang Yun said after everyone had expressed their opinions,
"With Outer Mongolia and the Far East, its area should be larger than the current area of our country. Oh dear, how many more provinces will be added?" Song Ziwen said,
"Why, Foreign Minister Song thinks the place is too big." Ouyang Yun smiled,
"There is no such thing as too much land. I was just thinking that the population density in Outer Mongolia and the Far East is very low. If we really want to divide provincial administrative regions according to the standards of the Central Plains, wouldn't the total population of a province be insufficient? A phenomenon that affects tens of thousands of people.”
"Of course we will not divide provincial administrative regions according to this standard. We must take the population factor into consideration. Foreign Minister Song, you were originally responsible for receiving the Outer Mongolia delegation, so this matter will be left to you. First organize a team to go Let’s conduct a field trip to Outer Mongolia and the Far East to find out the local customs and geography, and then discuss this matter with the Mongolians. Well, that’s it for today’s meeting. Next, I have to go to the headquarters. Well done Ding Yi. , a force of just over 20,000 dared to encircle and suppress 50,000 Japanese troops, haha, we have another tiger general."
"Ding Yi, is that Commander Ding of the paratroopers?" someone asked,
"Yeah, I'm waiting for his good news."
Ding Yi didn't let Ouyang Yun wait too long before he sent good news. It was good news for China, but it was bad news for Japan. The 50,000 elite expeditionary corps were made dumplings by the Chinese paratroopers who numbered over 20,000. Most of them were annihilated. This news spread back to Japan, which directly caused an uproar and became the last straw that led to Tojo Hideki's resignation. Poor private, when he first took office as Prime Minister, he was still trying to single-handedly change Japan's status quo. As for the great dream of the Spring and Autumn Period, it was precisely because of his random command that it accelerated the process of China's war. Of course, this process was only beneficial to China.
Three days later, just as Japan's new cabinet came to power, the Battle of Xi'an, which lasted for more than a week, came to an end. The remaining more than 5,000 Japanese troops, together with their commander Tadamichi Kuribayashi, were surrounded and annihilated in Weinan by Xue Yue's troops.
The collapse of the Ririn Chungdo Department not only symbolized the failure of the Qinling strategy that the Japanese army had invested heavily in, but also meant that China had regained a stable rear area. After Xue Yue's Far East Expeditionary Force solved the Japanese army of the Ririn Chungdo Department, due to the Inner Mongolia War
Outer Mongolia is already under the control of the Chinese army, which will mean that they can take advantage of mechanized marches and drive straight into Inner Mongolia.
Turning his attention to the Wuhan battlefield, after Li Zongren completely eliminated the Japanese and puppet troops and the Korean Co-Prosperity Army in Sichuan, and brought 200,000 troops to join the Wuhan battlefield, the Chinese side of the Wuhan battlefield had more than 500,000 troops, and had actually formed an overwhelming force on the Japanese army.
Because Li Jiayu had completely opened the road from Sichuan to Hubei before, Li Zongren's troops advanced extremely quickly. When the military flag of the troops appeared outside Hanchuan City, Hengshan Yong, who received the report, knew that the 11th Army and himself were all
It's over. Becoming a senior commander in charge of an army and leading the war in a certain region was originally what Yokoyama Isamu once dreamed of. But now it seems that the Japanese base camp has ordered him to take over the position of commander of the 11th Army of Anami Yuki.
It doesn't feel like a compliment, but more like a punishment, because at this time, the 11th Army is no longer as brave as it used to be, and the Chinese army, even the Sichuan Army with the worst equipment, has now replaced a shotgun with a cannon.
Long, not to mention that the troops are still at a disadvantage, even if the troops are equal, Yokoyama may not be confident in winning. It doesn't matter if he can't win. There are no undefeated generals in the world. However, because there is no retreat,
The result of defeat is destruction, so it seems reasonable that Isamu Yokoyama would become hysterical.
The 11th Army is the elite of the Japanese army, and it is also the only remaining force of the Japanese army in Central China. As long as the 11th Army can stay in Wuhan, then the Imperial Army may rely on this nail to fight back to Central China. This is some assistance from the Japanese base camp.
The thoughts of the senior staff officers have reached this point. These crazy staff officers still cannot see the facts clearly and are still dreaming about the invincibility of the imperial army. Compared with these staff officers, the top brass of the Japanese base camp are much more rational and pragmatic.
, they no longer dreamed of co-prosperity in Greater East Asia at this time, but pragmatically wanted to rescue the 11th Army. However, air supremacy was completely in the hands of the Chinese Air Force, and the Yangtze River Waterway returned to the hands of the Xuebing Army because of Jiangyin Fortress and Madang Fortress.
, the Japanese warships simply couldn't get through, so although they were pragmatic, they could only worry in vain, but in fact they had nothing to do.
Until now, the 11th Army has been fighting with the Chinese army, and there are still more than 70,000 troops, plus more than 20,000 North Korean Communist Army, the total strength is still about 100,000, which is far inferior to the Chinese army. In addition, the Changchun Army
Time cannot be replenished, and guns and ammunition cannot be supplied. This has resulted in the Japanese army having less than 10,000 bullets for the whole group... All of this seems to indicate that the destruction of the 11th Army will only be a matter of time.
