Although the units of the Puppet Manchukuo National Defense Force are not full and all belong to the B-level establishment, the Eighth Army and the Ninth Army combined have more than 30,000 people. Of course, because the Kuancheng Military Camp is located by the Lincheng River, the terrain is easy to defend. Difficult to attack, the Eighth Army and the Ninth Army have never had a chance to use their strength advantages. However, the Japanese deserters of the independent detachment do not think so. In the minds of most of them, they just have more than three hundred people. They held back more than 30,000 opponents and won the final victory. Seeing the puppet troops scurrying around like headless flies, no matter how restraining the officers of the Eighth Army and the Ninth Army, it had no effect. The Japanese The deserters inevitably got carried away, and some even shouted: "The Imperial Army of Japan is mighty."
The Japanese who yelled out this habitual slogan was named Ichisou Yamana, a superior soldier. After shouting out this slogan, he suddenly felt a silence around him. He looked around in surprise, but saw everyone looking at him, including Zhang Xuyun and Mu Haoren suddenly realized something, and beads of sweat as big as soybeans instantly broke out on his forehead. Then he raised his arms and shouted: "The Japanese Liberation Army is mighty, the independent detachment is mighty." After shouting this, he still felt uneasy, and his head Walking to Fujita Tsuno in a cold sweat, he explained: "Fujita-kun, I, I just made a slip of the tongue. Please explain it to the captain."
"Ba Ge, use your brain more when talking and doing things from now on." Fujita scolded, and then walked towards Zhang Xuyun with a smiling face.
Zhang Xuyun actually didn't care about this matter, but because of the special nature of the independent detachment and the situation it would face next, he had to pay attention to it, so when faced with Fujita's intercession, he said coldly: "The death penalty can be avoided. If you are guilty of living, you will be punished by copying the name of the mountain a hundred times, the name of the Japanese Liberation Army and the independent detachment, remember, use Chinese."
Teaching Chinese to the Japanese deserters is also one of Zhang Xuyun's daily tasks during the battle and rest time. As for why he does this, Zhang Xuyun hopes to use these auxiliary means to brainwash these Japanese deserters, so that they will not only become Japanese traitors willingly, but also And she will be proud of her status as a Japanese rapist.
"Hai, Hai, thank you on behalf of Yamana, sir, what should we do next?"
"What should we do? Continue to retreat to Nong'an."
"Hai."
Nong'an Town is a place that Zhang Xuyun has long chosen to defend. The reason why he chose Nong'an instead of other places is because there is a small airport in Nong'an, which allows them to easily obtain logistical supplies from the paratroopers. At the same time, It is also convenient for Ding Yi and others, and if the Japanese and puppet troops really surround Nong'an as he predicted, this place will become an opening to open the war in Changchun, just like Yichun in Heilongjiang.
At this time, Ding Yi was already sitting in the cabin of a new type of flying fortress, watching several of his army staff members perform war games on the map.
The strength advantage of the Japanese army in the Changchun area is too obvious. Although he has received assurance from the Supreme Command that he will receive strong support from the air force, considering the huge disparity between the enemy and ourselves in terms of ground power, he still behaves very cautiously and does not want to get involved because of Problems with your own layout may lead to failure or even worse situations.
"Nong'an is good. We can ask General Wang to support us with a helicopter squadron. The Japanese armored force and aviation force are weak, which is conducive to the performance of the helicopter force. What I am most worried about now is the Japanese army and the North Korean Co-Prosperity Army on the China-North Korea border. In order to encircle and suppress the uprising troops in North Korea, the Japanese army has assembled a considerable force in this area. We must prevent them from turning their attacks on us. By the way, I heard that the governor of North Korea has been replaced by Seishiro Itagaki."
As a person born in the early years of the Republic of China, Ding Yi experienced the domestic warlords fighting against each other, so he had a deep understanding of the factional struggles in Japan. Itagaki Seishiro was able to re-serve as the governor of Korea, naturally because of Tojo Hideki, and the Kwantung Army It was the place where Tojo Hideki made his fortune, so he is now a little worried that Itagaki's appointment as the governor of Korea is just a transition. Tojo's real intention is to replace Yamada Otsuzo in charge of the Kwantung Army. Looking at Itagaki Seishiro's experience in China, although His record was mediocre, but in terms of his understanding of China and even the Xuebing Army, he knew much more than Yamada. Based on this alone, Ding Yi concluded that he must be far more difficult to deal with than Yamada, and he was a formidable enemy worthy of attention.
"Yes, according to the information we received from the CIA, Itagaki has now arrived in Seoul. Next, he will go to the front line to personally direct the suppression of the Korean rebels."
"Then triple the number of enemy troops that may appear in the east. Itagaki Seishiro has been in North Korea for many years and has quite deep connections there. We have to worry that he can quickly put down the rebellion in Huishan. In that case, he can Gather a large number of troops and enter Jilin."
Facts have proved that Ding Yi's worries were not unnecessary. On that night, in Hyesan, North Korea, a mutiny took place among the Korean rebels against the top brass of the rebels. According to the intelligence obtained by the CIA afterwards, this mutiny was exactly what happened. Itagaki Seishiro sent people to instigate several middle-level officers of the Korean Communist Army whom he had met when he was the governor. After the mutiny, the Korean rebel army became a pile of scattered sand because all the senior officials were killed or disappeared. In fact, It no longer poses a threat to the Japanese army in Korea.
The Korean rebel army was defeated as soon as it was established. The person who suffered the biggest blow was naturally Li Dazhong. He originally wanted to use the rebel army to bargain with the Chinese coalition government to obtain more political and military resources, but now he can only despair and lament. God don't help the Koreans.
Not mentioning the Korean rebels, we still focused our attention on Ding Yi and his party. At eight o'clock that night, the 123rd Division and the 149th Division of the Kwantung Army combined with the Eighth Army and the 8th Army of the Puppet Manchukuo National Defense Force. The Ninth Army, under the command of Harem Chun, formed an encirclement on Nong'an. When they wanted to encircle the independent detachment and the Fifth Army and Thirteenth Army of the Puppet Manchukuo National Defense Force, the two airborne divisions led by Ding Yi attacked the Eighth Army. The army responsible for the western front successfully parachuted, and then directly penetrated the Eighth Army's position with thunderous momentum. Not only did it successfully merge with the independent detachment, the Fifth Army and the Thirteenth Army, but it also annihilated approximately 800,000 soldiers of the Eighth Army in one fell swoop. The troops of the two brigades immediately intimidated Gu Zhenggang and Gui Tianjia.
As a unit directly under the Chinese Supreme Command, the paratroopers are second only to special forces such as Langya in terms of individual soldier quality and weapons and equipment. They are currently one of the strongest troops in the Chinese Army. In addition, the Eighth Army has never been airborne without countermeasures. With combat experience and having just experienced Kuancheng, the morale of the soldiers was in a slump, so it was not surprising that the Eighth Army was helpless to resist.
