When the Japanese base camp decided to cooperate with the German army in an east-west attack to destroy Soviet Russia, the purpose was relatively simple. It just hoped to exchange more military technology and weapons support from Germany. However, in just half a month, the Far East Army had not yet been reorganized.
After that, the national battlefield has undergone earth-shaking changes. Not to mention Ribayashi Tadamichi's Qinling raiding force, after the Xuebing Army entered Chongqing, the unit was actually sentenced to death, and its destruction was actually only a matter of time. The order
The most distressing thing for the Japanese base camp is that due to the failure of the Xuzhou air battle, the aviation force stationed in China suffered heavy losses. This directly resulted in that its ground forces in China and East China would have to fight under the suppression of the National Air Force, and the combat environment was unprecedentedly harsh. Therefore, once
The brave and skilled Imperial Army, the second strongest army in the world, suddenly seemed to be incapable of fighting. It lost one battle after another, and each defeat was worse than the last. The twenty-third army would be completely destroyed, and the eleventh army would be completely destroyed.
The Japanese Army, as well as the vassal North Korean Co-Prosperity Army, and the Peace Army were in danger. In East China, the Japanese army's hard work for more than three years seemed to be in danger of collapse overnight. Tojo Hideki could not hold back his anger. At one point, the old Japanese even mobilized the North China Front Army, and even
The Kwantung Army went south to rescue the troops and had the idea of a decisive battle with the troops. However, after Hohhot was captured by the troops and Liangfu's entire army stationed in Mongolia was destroyed last month, the old Japanese realized that without the support of aviation troops, no matter how many ground troops entered Hua and East China
The area was no different than death, so we had to break our teeth and swallow our blood. We had to consider the suggestions of a group of young staff officers in the General Staff Headquarters to open up the Far East communication line as soon as possible to welcome the German army southward.
Tojo Hideki made this decision a little late. Fortunately, Umezu Yoshijiro and Okamura Neji were quite capable. Although they couldn't think of a place to go with him, Takeharuji wanted to enter the Soviet Union from Outer Mongolia all the way, but he waited.
Preparations have been made. If the purpose is to open up the Far East transportation line, it is naturally much faster to go through Outer Mongolia than to go through Vladivostok. However, Momotake Haruyoshi's road is originally considered a branch road, and the military strength is relatively weak. It seems that it is not difficult to achieve a rapid advance.
Xiao. Of course, for Hyakutake Haruyoshi, this was an opportunity for his war talents, so after receiving the order, he did not mention any difficulties and accepted it very happily. Hyakutake Haruyoshi is not blindly confident, he
When he served as the head of the Harbin Agency, a secret service agency directly under the Kwantung Army, he was famous for his ability to detect enemy secret messages. It was precisely because of this experience that he mastered a large amount of intelligence about Soviet Russia and Outer Mongolia. Therefore, he was confident that he could
Fifty thousand troops defeated the more than 300,000 National Defense Forces in Outer Mongolia, and another September 18th Incident occurred.
In order to achieve the effect of a surprise attack, Hyakutake Haruyoshi ordered the troops to speed up their march while trying to avoid contact with the Inner Mongolia Peace Corps. "One day, we will fight back from where we were, and by then, it will be the day of the subjugation of the China Army!" In this order,
When giving the order, he was worried that avoiding contact with the Inner Mongolian troops would cause misunderstandings among the soldiers and damage morale, so he said this.
Whatever he was afraid of would come. Although he tried to avoid it, what was supposed to come still came. "Are you sure there are only more than 10,000 people?" he asked the communications staff officer who came to report the news. The communications staff officer answered in the affirmative and said: "Major General Xiaoshan requested the headquarters
Immediately provide tactical guidance, Your Excellency, and please make a decision."
Hyakutake Seikichi looked forward, suddenly waved his hand vigorously and said: "Send the order, the whole army advances. More than 10,000 Chinese people dare to stop my 50,000-strong army. The Chinese people despise us so much, we will teach them a painful lesson."
!”
"Hai!" his general replied loudly. Immediately, the same order was passed on. Soon, the entire Japanese army moved quickly and rushed towards the area where the forward troops were located.
About thirty kilometers away from where Hyakutake Harukichi was, in a temporary tent, Ding Yi was sitting on a foldable pony, discussing the battle situation with a few subordinates over a map.
Ding Yihui's appointment as the commander of the paratroopers was related to the fact that all the backbone of the paratroopers came from Langya. When the paratroopers had just appeared, parachute was included in the training subjects of Langya. Therefore, Ouyang Yun was
When I decided to form a paratrooper unit, I naturally thought of drawing the key members from Langya to form an instructor group and build the skeleton of the paratrooper unit. Any trainee from Langya can be used as a skydiver and let them serve as paratroopers.
The instructors of the army are also responsible for the command, which can be said to be tailor-made.
Ouyang Yun just decided to use paratroopers. The main purpose was to make up for the lack of strength in the Far East Expeditionary Force. With the cooperation of the Air Force, he used the mobility of paratroopers to divide and annihilate scattered enemy forces. The secondary purpose was to train troops and hope that the paratroopers would
It can pass the test of war and become a standing regular military force. But now, because the main force of the Japanese Far East Army has moved to Vladivostok and entered the Soviet Far East, the target of actual combat training of the paratrooper force has naturally fallen to Hyakutake Haruyoshi.
Originally, out of caution, Ouyang Yun wanted to conduct remote control command to ensure that the paratroopers would not suffer major battle losses and affect the normal "development" of this unit. Now, because the number of troops in the northwest region has actually
After surpassing the Japanese army, he no longer had this worry and let go completely, instructing Ding Yi to let go of the command: "Don't be afraid of sacrifice, but the sacrifice must be valuable. Paratroopers are a brand new branch different from traditional infantry. Your mission this time is not to annihilate
How many devils, but to figure out what the paratroopers should do to play the role of the edge..."
"Blade" is undoubtedly the most appropriate description for paratroopers, and Ding Yi understood this. He scrapped the original battle plan, divided the army into two, and led one of his troops into Inner Mongolia first, and blocked the Baiyun area.
On the only path that Takeharu Yoshibe must pass.
Ambush the Japanese vanguard, this is the second step of the new combat plan that Ding Yi personally participated in formulating. The purpose of this step is to lure the main force of the Japanese army into a larger ambush circle, and if the Japanese army is fooled, then the second group of troops will
Parachute drop was carried out behind the Japanese army, and they attacked from both front and back.
Hyakutake Harukichi was fooled as expected, and Ding Yi took his staff to recheck the details of the battle plan, and then issued a series of orders.
His eyes turned to Hyakutake Harukichi. He had just advanced with the main force for about an hour and a half when a report came from Major General Koyama from the front, saying that the China Army that ambushed him had escaped, and asked if he would take advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack.
As soon as he received this telegram, Hyakutake Haruyoshi, out of his instinct to engage in intelligence work all year round, immediately realized that the team had sent a reconnaissance unit to monitor the headquarters' actions. Then, he called the reconnaissance unit released to verify that this unit was in the surrounding area.
Later, I called Xiaoshan back and asked him to launch a counterattack on the spot, and the stronger the counterattack, the better: "...the main force is on the way, so fight boldly and don't worry about the Chinese counterattack!"
