Glorious Mission 1937

() The main force of the North China Front Army attacked the 61st Army, dispatching 7 troops at a time, and each army was a well-known army in the Japanese Army, which immediately attracted the attention of the whole of China to Northern Shanxi.In addition, all parties know that the garrison in Mongolia has just been severely damaged by the 61st Army not long ago. Not only did it lose a complete cavalry brigade, but also many other troops were severely damaged. It stands to reason that this army should hide on the northern grassland now. Licking the wound, waiting for the day of full recovery, so no one pays attention to the Mongolian army at all.

It was this kind of subconscious neglect that gave the Japanese army an opportunity to take advantage of it.When the tens of thousands of Japanese troops stationed in Mongolia were galloping towards Guisui, the Nationalist Government's Wuhan Camp and the World War II Zone Chief's Department were all calculating who would win the final victory this time between the Japanese Army and the 61st Army. alright.And Yan Laoxi had even secretly ordered the No.30 Fifth Army and the Second Cavalry Army to assemble in the Northwest of Shanxi. Once the North China Front Army and Chen Feng were at the end of their battles, he, a fisherman, would not hesitate to appear.

The Jinsui Army has a lot of opinions about Yan Xishan's behavior, because many people think that although Chen Feng is rebellious, the 61st Army belongs to the battle order of our Jinsui Army no matter what. It is an act of adding insult to injury, which is very contemptible.

But in Yan Laoxi's view, Shanxi is the largest in the world, and now his old man's Shanxi has been almost divided up. In a small Shanxi, there are not only the fierce tiger of the Japanese, but also the hungry wolf of the Central Yang Army. There is also the Eighth Route Army, and now there is Chen Feng, a disobedient junior, occupying the 12 counties around Datong.Shanxi is no longer the Shanxi of his old man Yan.

Right now is a good opportunity, as long as it is used well, it is not impossible to drive Ri himself out of Shanxi in one fell swoop, and then take back all the northern Shanxi areas.At that time, Shanxi will still be his Shanxi, as long as there are guns, cannons and territories, he will still be a fierce tiger.Otherwise, it won't take long for Old Man Yan to become a kitten who can be bullied.

Of course, Old Man Yan had another plan for ordering the army to assemble in Northwest Shanxi, that is, he was a little worried about the combat effectiveness of the 61st Army, although the 61st Army had created war miracles one after another.But in the eyes of Old Man Yan, the 61st Army has been fighting continuously since its formation.But the replenishment was very limited, and the troops were not trained enough.The most important thing is that the old man learned from Yan Changxi that more than half of the soldiers in the various units of the 61st Army are converted from captives, and the rest are recruits recruited in recent months.There aren't many real veterans.

Old man Yan once studied in Japan when he was young.Studied at the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy.He was a classmate with Seishiro Itagaki and other senior officers of the Japanese Army, so he had some understanding of the various units of the Japanese Army, so he knew very well the combat effectiveness of the Japanese Army that attacked Chen Feng's troops this time.Those are all standing troops of the Japanese Army, and their combat effectiveness is first-class even if you look at the world.

Based on these factors, Old Man Yan didn't think that the 61st Army would defeat the Japanese Army as smoothly as in the past. Don't even think about it. A tie would be considered a miracle.Therefore, he stationed heavily in Northwest Shanxi. Once the defeat of the 61st Army is revealed, the large forces of the Jinsui Army will be stationed in North Shanxi as soon as possible.Of course, even if there is still a little strength in the 61st Army, the Jinsui Army will never act.

National Zheng Fu's mind is similar to that of Old Man Yan, but because National Zheng Fu has enough energy for the war in the north, Old Man Yan's lair is in Shanxi, and it is only a matter of words for him to intervene in the war in Shanxi. That's not enough, the Nationalist government has almost no troops stationed in the five provinces and cities in North China, and it is very difficult to rely on the troops of more than a dozen divisions in Jinzhong and Jinnan to protect themselves, so how can we talk about progress.

When the Japanese Army in North China and the Army Garrisoned in Mongolia made concerted efforts to plan the Great Wall, the national government from top to bottom to the local government intrigues against each other. It has to be said that this is the tragedy of a country and a nation.

After two days and one night of rapid marching, the vanguard of the Japanese army had passed through the hinterland of the Gegentala Grassland and reached the Wuchuan area north of Qingcheng, which was less than [-] kilometers away from Qingcheng Guisui.

No one thought that the garrison in Mongolia would act at this time, nor did Chen Feng himself.He predicted that the Mongolian Army might take some action, but he believed that the greatest possibility for the Mongolian Army would be to cooperate with the North China Front Army to attack his administrative area. If the Mongolian Army attacked from south to north, the 61st Army would be attacked by the enemy, and the Japanese Army The chances of winning have greatly increased, so Chen Feng did not use the 222nd Division, it was entirely to guard against the Mongolian Army.

The morning in winter is a bit cold, even in the northern region, and the snowstorm overnight made everything quiet.Although it was already 07:30, there was still no one on the street, it was empty.At this time, a group of soldiers with long guns suddenly appeared at the end of the street, walking towards the north gate of Qingcheng.

There are not many soldiers in this team, less than 40, but each of them has a murderous look on their faces, which makes people dare not look directly at them.

"Captain, where is the prince's troops?" A tall man asked the captain in Mongolian.

"One hour ago, the prince sent someone to inform me that the army had arrived at the Majiadian, so the time should be up soon." The captain said in a deep voice.

"I hope the gang of grandsons guarding the city gate know each other, otherwise don't blame me for attacking them." The big man laughed wildly.

"Girt, don't be careless, there is usually a company garrisoned at the gate of the city, we have to be careful." The captain warned.

"Captain, you're too careful. Who would sleep under the covers in this damn weather? Look at the gates of the city, the gates are empty, and those guarding the city sneaked back to sleep on the eighth floor," Geert said.

Soon this little troop arrived at the city gate position, and Gilt really guessed it. Except for two unlucky guys who were sleeping soundly, there was no one else at the gate of the city.Soon the two unlucky guys were solved by this small army, and a north gate of Nuoda was controlled in this way.

"Send a signal to the princes!"

At this time, after seeing the signal, the Japanese and puppet soldiers who had quietly moved outside Qingcheng immediately stopped hiding and rushed towards the north gate.

At eight o'clock sharp, Qingcheng was successfully occupied by the Japanese army. There were more than 9 people in the Suiyuan Jing Garrison First Division, the 7000th Security Brigade, and the Second Railway Security Regiment. In his sleep, he became a captive of Ri himself.After the sporadic bursts of gunshots, when the citizens of Dangguisui went out again, they suddenly found that the top of the city had been replaced with a Japanese dog-skin plaster flag, and teams of Japanese troops with live ammunition were wiping out remnants of the enemy throughout the city.

After the easy capture of Guisui, Lieutenant General Hou* Gongjun, the commander of the Garrison in Mongolia, ordered his troops to divide into three groups, with Shigetoku Kuroda, the veteran commander of No.20 Sixth Division and No.20 Sixth Infantry Brigade, as the commander. Command the headquarters and a cavalry division of the puppet army to immediately attack Damao Banner and Guyang County along Wuchuan.The Second Route Army mixed du li into No.15 Brigade Commander Maj. Gen. Yuhara Seiichiro. He led the troops from the headquarters and the puppet army, a cavalry division and an infantry division, and went out to Guisui Ximen to attack westward all the way. Baotou, an important town in northern Saibei.The third route is to use Matsui, the head of the Fourth Division of the Japanese Army, as the commander. He will lead the main force of the Fourth Division and an infantry division of the puppet army out of the East Gate of Guisui, and attack all the way west. Jining, the core control area of ​​the army.

Due to the assistance of traitors and ghosts, coupled with the lax discipline of the Guisui garrison, the entire city of Guisui fell into the hands of Ri himself very quickly and easily, so that the garrison commander of Guisui did not even have time to call for help. Fa made him a prisoner of Ri himself, including the World War II zone chief's department. No one knew that Guisui, the capital city of Suiyuan, had fallen.

In the next half day, as if the Japanese were in no-man's land, they would soon engulf Chasuqi, Saraqi, Tuoketuo County, Helinger, Wuchuan, Guyang, Damao Banner, and Zhuozi County. Baotou and Baotou were all captured, and the two divisions and three brigades left by Fu Zuoyi in Suiyuan were completely lost in just half a day, losing control of Suizhong and Suidong.

After receiving the news, the World War II area was in chaos. Although Yan Laoxi has always adopted a strategy of emphasizing Shanxi and despising Suiyuan, it does not mean that this old man can accept others to rob Suiyuan.In just half a day, the Suiyuan garrison was completely lost. The two security divisions and the three security brigades were wiped out by the Japanese and puppet troops except for the Baotou security division which broke through the encirclement with less than one brigade.

Originally, Fu Zuoyi, Chairman of Suiyuan Province and Commander-in-Chief of the Seventh Group Army, asked for a battle, hoping that Old Man Yan, Marshal Yan, would allow him to lead his troops to recover Suiyuan.Now that the matter has come to this point, the old man can only admit it while pinching his nose.

The World War II zone reaped the consequences. Not only did they suffer heavy losses, but they also made the 61st Army extremely passive. The main force of the Fourth Division, more than 26 people, captured Zhuozishan County at one o'clock in the afternoon on the 61th, and the army was rushing towards Jining. Come.So far, the 61st Army has Yamashita Fengwen's Department in the east, the Fifth and Twelfth Master Regiments of the Japanese Army in the south, and the Fourth Division in the west. Although there are no large Japanese troops in the north, the north is also the control area of ​​the Japanese Army. The Chinese Army has strategically completed the encirclement of the [-]st Army.

The World War II zone was in chaos, and the camp in Wuhan was in a panic.When the Military Control Bureau reported the latest progress of the war situation in the north to the old man, even though the old man's command level was not very high, he knew that the 61st Army might be over this time.To be honest, the old man regretted it a little now, the reason why he aimed at Chen Feng was because he wanted the 61st Army, not because he wanted this army to be wiped out by Ri himself.

No matter how rebellious Chen Feng is and how he refuses to be greeted, he is a Chinese after all, and he is still a patriotic Chinese. Under his leadership, the 61st Army belongs to the national defense force of the Republic of China.I am afraid that from then on, the 61st Army will completely disappear from the battle order of the National Revolutionary Army. This is really self-inflicted. (To be continued..)
