ww.x.om At the same time that Shinro Hata launched a counterattack, the 23rd Army of the Japanese Army in South China and the Japanese army living in Vietnam launched, and began to attack the main force of the Fourth War Zone, which was in an offensive situation.
Chiang Kai-shek panicked, thinking that because he refused the negotiation begging from Japan for his radio speech, the Japanese army would concentrate their forces to destroy his national army. He hurriedly ordered the war zones to retreat quickly, break away from contact with the Japanese army, and defend with a solid position.
This is a bit like Liu Yu's northern expedition during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and he was just a laughing name from Yuanjia.
Xue Yue, commander of the Ninth War Zone, was a real famous general of the National Army's anti-Japanese war and a vanguard of the National Army's anti-Japanese war system.
Since the Battle of Wuhan, the Ninth War Zone has been the only one among the various war zones of the National Army, with a record of greater than that of the other war zones. It has carried out three famous battles such as the Changsha Battle and the Shanggao Battle, and enjoyed a high reputation in the minds of the Chinese people.
After the news of Liu Yimin leading his army to land on the Liaodong Peninsula and attacking Chenyang came out, the tiger-boy Xue Yue was eager. He could not have imagined how could Liu Yimin have so many unimaginable ideas in his mind, and each move was a stroke of magic. This is the case with Zhan Tianjin and Zhan Shanghai. Now he has another move to land in Liaodong, which is simply incredible! Why is he so bold?
Xue Yue, who was eager to do so, not only mobilized the Ninth War Zone, but also sent a telegram to the Military Commission for war, demanding to organize a major battle to annihilate a part of the Japanese army.
At that time, although Chiang Kai-shek hoped that Liu Yimin would destroy more Japanese devils, he also hoped that the Kwantung Army and Liu Yimin would die together. Xue Yue's telegram to fight was naturally sank to the sea.
When Liu Yimin eliminated the main force of the Kwantung Army and attacked Changchun, the Military Commission ordered the war zones to counterattack against the enemy in front of them. Other war zones may use one-third of their troops to counterattack, and they can capture a market town as a report and propaganda. Xue Yue's ninth war zone was different. It was a big mobilization and a big counterattack. In northern Jiangxi, the two lines of northern Hunan were launched together. The Japanese army's new wall river defense line was broken in the north of Hunan. There was also a breakthrough in northern Jiangxi, which won the 11th Japanese army. The defense line was not stable. Unfortunately, other war zones were not cooperated well. After a while in the ninth war zone, they had to rush troops to truce and move into defense.
This time, Liu Yimin led his troops to the pass to eliminate the main force of the North China Front Army. Chiang Kai-shek was worried that our party and army would control the area north of the Yangtze River, and ordered all war zones to encircle and annihilate the 11th Army. The purpose was to show off the prestige of the national army, quickly recover the Wuhan area, and then recover Beijing and Shanghai. Hangzhou area is good for mobilizing troops to squeeze our party and army back to the area north of the Yellow River.
The military committee elders thought that the Kwantung Army was eliminated, the North China Front Army was eliminated, and the main force of the Japanese army was basically eliminated. The Japanese army in central China, east China, and south China were eager to retreat, and it is very likely that the main force of the national army would be launched. I will abandon Wuhan, retreat towards Shanghai, and then take a boat back to Japan. If I do not take the initiative, it will be too late to take action. When the CCP troops march south to destroy the Japanese army in Central China, East China, and China's richest places will all fall It is in the hands of the CCP, and it will be difficult to take it back.
It is not only the bigwigs of the Military Commission who see this way, but now people with some common sense know that Japan is going to be over. All the agencies of the National Government in the rear are preparing to move back to Nanjing.
Xue Yue also launched an attack with this mentality, and without any reservation, he drove all the main forces of the Ninth War Zone up, seized the opportunity of the Japanese main force chasing and annihilated the main force of the First Front Army, recovered Yueyang in one fell swoop, and attacked north. Plan to capture Xianning and the troops are coming to Wuhan.
When Chiang Kai-shek ordered the various war zones to urgently shrink and defend, Xue Yue disagreed. He believed that the three towns in Wuhan were right in front of him. Moreover, the Japanese army had empty troops and had to take advantage of the situation to attack them. As long as Wuhan was recaptured, the Japanese army would become rootless and would collapse quickly.
Therefore, he just ordered all troops to keep in touch, concentrate their strength, and run to Xianning in different directions.
Xianning is the barrier south of Wuhan. During the first and second battle in Changsha, the 11th Army headquarters of the Japanese army was located here, and Okamura Yasuji once stationed here to command the Japanese army's attack.
Xue Yue's troops were stubbornly blocked by the Japanese army at Tingsi Bridge south of Xianning.
In front of Tingsi Bridge, it is surrounded by mountains in the east, and surrounded by water on three sides. During the period when the Guangdong-Hankou Railway runs from southwest to northeast, it is the truly first dangerous pass in southern Hubei.
This is also a famous battlefield during the Northern Expedition. The Fourth Army of the National Revolutionary Army fought against Wu Peifu's troops here. Local Communist Party members Wu Guozhen and others immediately joined the army and joined the Ye Ting Independent Regiment, mobilized fellow villagers to lead the way, and guided the Ye Ting Independent Regiment to cross the mountains and cut off the enemy's backbone.
, attacked the enemy sideways and made great contributions to the victory of the Tingsiqiao Battle. Wu Guozhen later joined the Nanchang Uprising with Ye Ting Independent Regiment. After arriving in the Central Soviet Area, he became the deputy commander of the Red Third Division. In 1933, he died heroically when he led his troops to attack Tingsiqiao.
Xue Yue did not participate in the battle of attacking Tingsiqiao during the Northern Expedition. He led his army to capture Hangzhou and followed He Yingqin to capture Shanghai. However, Xue Yue was born in the Guangdong Army and was very familiar with the battles of attacking Tingsiqiao, Xianning and He Shengqiao under Zhang Fakui, and was also familiar with Xianning.
Geography, after knowing that the Fourth Army captured Tingsi Bridge that afternoon, it captured Xianning and then launched the Hesheng Bridge Battle.
Xue Yue wanted to repeat the story of Ye Ting's Independent Regiment's roundabout encirclement, but unfortunately the Japanese army was not Wu Peifu. He was meticulous in his work and had an ambush. He attacked Xue Yue's roundabout encirclement encirclement encirclement encirclement encirclement encirclement. Xue Yue had no choice but to calm down, concentrate on artillery fire, and honestly started the battle.
This attack was like a sea of corpses and blood. It took time and effort to capture Tingsi Bridge. In Xianning, it was firmly blocked by the Japanese army. When Xue Yue attacked Hesheng Bridge, the vanguard troops could no longer attack.
At that time, the main force of the Japanese army that repelled the Sixth War Zone suddenly appeared in Yueyang and recaptured Yueyang. The main force of the Ninth War Zone was cut off.
At this time, Xue Yue realized that it was fake to fight the first battle zone and the sixth battle zone. His goal was to maintain the strongest combat power and maintain the offensive posture.
Xue Yue was anxious, and Chiang Kai-shek was anxious. At this time, he didn't say anything. The most important thing was to save the main force of the Ninth War Zone. After passing on the orders, the main force of the Ninth War Zone quickly evacuated the battlefield and moved to the mountainous area west of the railway.
During this shift in the main force of the Ninth War Zone, the main force of the Japanese 11th Army and the 13th Army chased after them and chased them. When the main force of the Ninth War Zone retreated into the mountainous area, Changsha City was exposed without any cover.
Under the Japanese army's muzzle.
This time, the Japanese army did not conquer Changsha after bloody battles as in history, but easily captured Changsha, the capital of Hunan Province, which had extremely empty troops, and the Hunan party, government and military organs retreated to Hengyang.
The Japanese army chased after the ranks, and the Hunan party, government and military organs retreated to Hengyang had to evacuate again. The defenders' first awakening of the 10th Army fought bloody battles for four days, and the ammunition was exhausted and the assistance was eliminated, so they had to put down their weapons.
At this point, the 11th Army of the Japanese Army, the 13th Army, the 23rd Army of South China and the Vietnamese troops formed a three-sided attack on the Fourth War Zone. The last attack of Hata Shunrok was also staged, and he worked hard without stopping and killed directly.
Going towards Guilin and Liuzhou, the main force of the Fourth War Zone retreated to Guizhou.
Historically, the Japanese army started the battle of Henan, Hunan and Guangxi in April 1944, which lasted six months, and opened up mainland transportation lines from Northeast China to Vietnam. This time, Hata Shunrok saved the trouble of crossing the Yellow River to attack Luoyang.
The speed was faster. In just one month, the transportation line from Wuhan to Vietnam was opened, causing the second major defeat of the national army since the War of Resistance Against Japan.
For a moment, public opinion was in an uproar, and even Chiang Kai-shek himself cursed and embarrassed at the combat review meeting.
Seriously, the war initiated by Hata Shunji was really good, and the timing was very accurate. It seized Chiang Kai-shek's aggressive mentality in trying to regain Wuhan and Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou areas in front of our army, and also seized Xue Yue to take advantage of it.
The Japanese army's main force pursued the defeated troops in the First War Zone to seize Wuhan, and the battle was successful. Hata Shunji was truly a famous Japanese general.
During the performance of Hata Shunroku's glorious performance, Liu Yimin was resting in Xuzhou.
Chiang Kai-shek is the chairman and his words are counted. If our army ignores him and insists on moving south, maybe Chiang Kai-shek will dare not fight the Japanese, turn the guns to attack our army, and create another anti-communist climax. You must know that in Wuhan, Beijing
The Shanghai-Hangzhou area is a traditional ruling area of the Kuomintang. If it is occupied by our army, Chiang Kai-shek will fight our army to the death, and the civil war will inevitably break out early.
Liu Yimin doesn't want to fight a civil war, at least he doesn't want to fight before the Japanese surrender. You know, once the Japanese fight, they have the opportunity to take advantage of the civil war. This civil war lasts another year or two years, and I'm afraid the Japanese will escape the responsibility of war compensation.
It's right.
Vice Chairman Zhou is negotiating with the Kuomintang in Chongqing, and the Central Committee ordered our army to suspend its southward movement, so our army's divisions naturally have to implement the central government's orders.
The reason why the central government ordered this was not only because it needed to negotiate with Chiang Kai-shek and avoid civil war, but more importantly, North China was initially decided to stabilize the rear and establish a regime. The Shandong Field Army, which turned out to be in fierce battles, and the troops had not completed the real battle.
To fight south, the troops must be completely reorganized, familiar with new equipment such as heavy artillery and run-in. There must also be enough troops to guard Shandong and not just lift their butts, as they will easily be taken to the old nest.
Another reason has prompted Liu Yimin to rest, that is, when the Eastern Field Army was in a secret operation, many cadres and soldiers from Shandong who were in Shandong left without saying goodbye to their families. This time, when they returned to Shandong, the families of many cadres and soldiers traveled a long distance.
They came to the army to look for relatives. Those who found, met, were happy, and the families of the cadres and soldiers who died were crying. Liu Yimin simply ordered the army to allow some cadres and soldiers to visit relatives.
In this way, Liu Yimin led his army to rest for a month in Xuzhou. He used this month to draw a division from the First and Second Corps and the Third Corps to conduct parachute combat training, preparing to give the Japanese army another big surprise.
