Glorious Mission 1937

So far, the number of battlefields in the Northeast has increased to five, and there are three on the Suidong front line. In addition to the newly opened Suihua battlefield and the Mandong battlefield, the five major battlefields were all fired, and the Japanese and puppet troops were retreating steadily.

The Soviet Union has tasted the sweetness, and the cooperation with Chen Feng's troops did not result in many casualties. Not to mention anything else, if Chen Feng's troops can maintain the current results of the battle, then the Far East crisis that has plagued the Soviet Union for a long time will be easily resolved.Now the Soviet Union has invested a total of less than 20 troops, and the investment and income are completely out of proportion.Stalin was also an extremely courageous person. After receiving Ivanov's report, he added another 10 troops with a swipe of a pen.

In addition to the addition of the [-] troops from the Soviet Union, Yeherina also finished handling the Heihe matter, leaving a regiment to maintain order, and the remaining [-] people all went south to join the battle sequence to attack Qiqihar.

At the same time, Xu Bao's unit, which had been lurking in the hinterland of the Northeast for a long time, also went into action with all its strength. The special forces attacked everywhere, killing traitors and destroying strongholds, bombing trains and scraping railroad tracks. My heart twitched for a while.

On November 11, a military train from Fengtian to Harbin was ambushed at the Fuyu Bridge. The escort troops of a squadron on the train were wiped out, and a train full of ammunition disappeared. What's more, the robber Jiang The truck was abandoned at a sharp turn, where a military column full of soldiers collided with the train that afternoon, causing more than 29 casualties. Ruined, all the traffic to Harbin is left with only the rough road along the way.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Feng's troops launched a full-scale attack on Qiqihar.After a day and night of attack, after paying more than 1 casualties, the military fortress was finally captured.At the latest, the battle of Qiqihar was over. This battle lasted for 3 months. Chen Feng's troops invested 28 troops on the front line of Qiqihar to confront the 20 Japanese defenders.

In less than 3 months, as the attacking side, Chen Feng's troops suffered more than 6 casualties, of which 2 were directly killed in battle.There are also more than [-] people who cannot return to the battlefield after recovering from injuries.It can be seen that the battle was brutal.

Of course, the Japanese army also lost a lot. More than 20 troops were killed and wounded, and as many as 11 were taken prisoner. The rest of the troops were all withdrawn to Harbin.This is mainly because the Japanese army left more than 4 wounded and more than 1 puppet troops on the position as cannon fodder.Otherwise, the casualties of the Japanese army would be much less.

Qiqihar changed hands.In the whole of Beimandi, there is only a lonely Harbin left. The Kwantung Army Command intends to abandon Harbin, but the problem is that Harbin is a map of Pingchuan to the south.If the Chinese army were allowed to bypass Harbin and go south to attack Songyuan and Shuangcheng, then Baicheng and Ulanhot would be unable to defend, and Xinjing would be further down, so Harbin could not be abandoned anyway.

Yoshijiro Umezu felt a headache when he thought that there were 60 to 22 Chinese and Soviet troops around Harbin, and the Japanese army had only [-] troops including the Suihua frontline troops, which was much smaller than others. What to do with such a huge disparity .

At this time, Naozaburo Okabe gave an idea. Because most of the city was captured, 10,000+ Japanese immigrants and 60 million Koreans withdrew to Harbin. Anyway, these people will become Chinese after the city of Harbin is broken. Captives, it is better to use waste.Therefore, Naozaburo Okabe suggested that all these immigrants be armed, and go to the battlefield if they have weapons, and repair trenches and fortifications if they have no weapons, and serve as logistics personnel.

It is of course good to be able to stop the attack of the Chinese army, and this is what we expect. If not, we can also black out the Chinese army once.In the words of Naozaburo Okabe, based on his understanding of Chen Feng's subordinates, they will execute all the captives after the city is broken. Think about it, most of these hundreds of thousands of immigrants are ordinary people. If the massacre of unarmed immigrants is widely publicized in the world, it will greatly damage the prestige of the Chinese people, and the hedgehog can also arouse the hatred of the Chinese people and the North Korean people towards the Chinese people.

Obviously, General Umezu Yoshijiro was persuaded, and within a very short period of time, all immigrants in Harbin, regardless of gender, age or age, were armed. Among them, as many as 18 directly fought with guns, and the rest were all in charge of logistics.And the 18 armed immigrants are not everyone with a gun, but a group of 3 people, one with a gun, and the other two with a bayonet and 10 rounds of bullets each. During training, the group is used as a unit. It's the same when going to the battlefield. If the person in front is killed, the people behind will pick up their rifles and continue fighting. If the second person dies, the third person will continue to fight.

On December 1941, 12, the Battle of Harbin started. This is the largest battle launched by China and Japan in northern China so far. In this battle, Chen Feng's troops assembled 2 troops on the front line of Harbin, and the Soviet Union touched 30 troops. The Kwantung Army dispatched a total of nearly 30 troops, and the troops of China, the Soviet Union, and Japan on the front line of Harbin alone reached more than 30.

On the first day of the battle, neither side tried their best. They fought tentatively for a whole day, with few casualties. However, starting from December 12, both sides fired at full force. In addition to conventional weapons, both sides also There were prolonged artillery and aviation battles.

In the battle on the 3rd, the Chinese and Soviet troops generally had the upper hand. The Japanese army shot down 27 fighter planes and destroyed more than 30 tanks. The losses of the Chinese and Soviet troops were only one-third of that of the Japanese army.

However, because the Japanese army built a large number of solid fortifications inside and outside Harbin, and there are hundreds of thousands of Chinese people in the city, this greatly limits the hands and feet of the Chinese and Soviet troops, so it is very difficult to take Harbin in a short time. of.

However, when the two sides were fighting desperately in the North Manchuria area, a news came from the south that shocked the whole of China. On the morning of December 12, the Japanese army launched a surprise attack on the Zengjiayan Mansion in Chongqing, using five fighter planes full of bombs. Zengjiayan official residence, and the old man and the chief of staff were having a meeting at Zengjiayan. Although they escaped in time, but because the entire mansion was affected, the old man was seriously injured and is now being rescued.

At the same time, the Japanese army launched a suicide attack on Yan Laoxi in Taiyuan, Longyun in Yunnan, Li Zongren in Hanzhong, and the Chen Mansion in Guisui. In the following four assassinations, only Yan Laoxi was out of luck and was succeeded by the Japanese. Li Zongren It was because of a temporary incident that he left the mansion 5 minutes before the arrival of the Japanese fighter planes, and went to the Hanzhong military camp to deal with a matter of arresting young men, and escaped by luck.

And Guisui is the easiest place. The fighter planes that assassinated the Chen family took off from Beiping, but the Japanese didn't know that Chen Feng's troops had long been equipped with long-range early warning radars. The first wave of cover planes flew together. Twelve fighter planes were dispatched to meet the enemy, and the second wave of fighter planes was intercepted again as soon as they crossed Zhangjiakou after taking off.

However, the Japanese army was obviously very patient. After being intercepted for the second time, TGK dispatched three batches of 15 fighters on different routes, and finally let a group of fighters arrive in Guisui.

However, the actions of the Japanese army stopped here. The five Japanese fighter planes were suddenly attacked by the Guisui ground air defense force as soon as they arrived in the sky above Guisui. The northern air force that took off was beaten down, so the assassination of the Chen family by the Japanese army this time was a complete failure.

However, from a general point of view, this assassination was extremely successful. The most important figures in China were either killed or injured, and even Lao Jiang's life and death were uncertain.

When the news came, the world shook, and China was in chaos.Jiang's personal life and death are irrelevant, but he shoulders the historical mission of leading China's war of resistance. As far as the current situation is concerned, anyone in China can die, but he cannot die, because if he dies, China will surely fall into chaos.No one has the prestige of Lao Jiang, who can simultaneously integrate the central army, local miscellaneous army and Yan'an army.

The Japanese also saw this, so they launched this assassination. Once Lao Jiang died, the United Front of the Chinese Anti-Japanese War would collapse, and even various local factions would break out wars because of power struggles, just like the one more than ten years ago. That warlord melee.

After receiving that his father-in-law was killed in the bombing, Lao Jiang's life and death were uncertain, and his home almost became the target of Japanese soldiers.While Chen Feng was angry, he was more worried.

Right now, China is in the most critical period of the War of Resistance Against Japan. North China and Central China are already familiar with the Japanese routines, and stalemate will not be a problem. Northeast China and Myanmar have entered a counter-offensive, especially in the Northeast. Large-scale counter-offensives are continuing. It won't take long to regain the Great Northeast.

Without this incident, China would definitely be able to defeat Japan ahead of schedule, and at that time, it would be able to recover all the land lost for nearly a hundred years, and it would be a shame.

However, once Lao Jiang died, the problem became serious.If the Japanese army took advantage of this opportunity to counterattack, it would be okay to have him in North China, but not in South China. Now that Lao Jiang has an accident, those arrogant soldiers may not be able to fight against Japan with peace of mind.

When the United States, Britain and other countries learned that Chiang’s life was uncertain, they all called the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Nationalist Government to inquire about Chiang’s injuries. Roosevelt even sent his own personal doctor to China urgently, demanding to save Chiang at all costs.

The Japanese side is also worried. This time, the assassination against the Chinese high-level officials is generally quite successful. The life and death of Lao Jiang is unknown, Yan Laoxi was killed, Long Yun was seriously injured, and only Li Zongren and Chen Feng were safe. **The morale of the people. (To be continued..)
