Chapter 340 Four Clusters

Japanese people think Shintaro Ishihara was extremely shameless in hype for his right-wing words and deeds. In fact, Zhang Xuewu thinks that all this is still possible, because although Ishihara Kanir was injured by his own sabre, he was not in the state of being a child, and he was willing to linger in a place of love and love. It was also possible to catch up with Shintaro Ishihara's mother who liked the love and dedicated business. So with Shintaro Ishihara, the evil beast, Ishihara, before his old mother died, Shintaro Ishihara learned the news. For the Japanese, it is possible that it is the true meaning.

For Zhang Xuewu, Ishihara Kanji replaced Tojo Hideki, which was definitely something he had not expected. In terms of overall strategic decision-making, Tojo Hideki is almost an idiot who cares about his head and doesn’t care about his butts. Ishihara Kanji is one of the few people with a clear and calm mind in Japan. With Umezu Mijiro, the partners of these two people are very difficult to deal with.

During two large-scale battles with the Japanese Kanto Army, the tactical qualities and tenacious spirit of the Japanese soldiers also deeply touched Zhang Xuewu. In addition to the 23rd Division who abandoned the troops and fled after seeing the situation was not good after Hideki Tojo's chaotic command, the division commander ordered the weapons to be put down and large-scale surrendered, the Japanese troops who participated in the war fought to fight to the death, especially the annihilation of the Sixth Division and the Sixteenth Division, which made Zhang Xuewu pay a heavy price.

The report submitted after the war shocked Zhang Xuewu. Three or four Japanese soldiers could hide in a small pit one meter square for two days and nights, waiting for tanks or armored vehicles to attack, and then pass by the area, and then rush to the bottom of the tank or armored vehicle with their arms? What a crazy behavior? Even the chassis and armor of the Iron Cavalry medium main battle tank is relatively fragile. The Japanese are very satisfied with the lives of dozens of officers and soldiers to exchange for the record of destroying a tank.

The Japanese could afford to sacrifice their lives, but Zhang Xuewu could not afford to lose. The Iron Cavalry's medium main battle tank was quite expensive. Moreover, the Iron Cavalry's medium main battle tank was still confidential. The Japanese obtained only the information they were equipped with a smoothbore cannon of 100 mm, so that all the vehicles damaged by the war had to be towed back.

So after learning that Ishihara Kanir was appointed Chief of Staff of the Kanto Army, Zhang Xuewu immediately stopped a large-scale military operation and began to gather some troops in the direction of Taiyuan. Because Ishihara Kanir has always been known for his strange use of troops, his tactical qualities are no less than his strategic decision-making ability. Zhang Xuewu did not want to give Ishihara Kanir an opportunity to take advantage of it and be caught off guard by the Japanese, that would be really thrown to his grandma's house. Moreover, the Japanese are best at launching attacks at the most unlikely time and the most considered impossible location to achieve the suddenness of the battle. In gambling terms, the greater the risk, the greater the reward.

Zhang Xuewu plans to form a North China Cluster 1st Division, the Honorary First Division, the New First Division, the Third Division, the Fifth Division, and the Seventh Division, which are assigned to the First Field Heavy Artillery Brigade, the Second Brigade, and the First Mobile Rocket Artillery Brigade! The First Armored Cavalry Reconnaissance Regiment, Engineer Regiment, Anti-Art Armored Artillery Regiment, Chemical Defense Regiment, First Field Hospital, and First Flight Destroyer Division to form a North China Cluster and deploy it in Longhua to directly threaten the Pingjin area! Hao Wenbin serves as the commander of the cluster.

The Second Armored Division, the Tiger Division, the New Second Division of the Youth Army, the Fourth Division, the Sixth Division, and the Eighth Division, were assigned to the Third Field Heavy Artillery Brigade, the Fourth Brigade, the Second Mobile Rocket Artillery Brigade, the First Armored Cavalry Directly Under the Special Reconnaissance Brigade, the Engineer Regiment, the Anti-Art Regiment Regiment, the Chemical Defense Regiment, the Third Field Hospital, and the Third Flight Destroyer Division, formed the Northeast Cluster, appointed Zhan Yang as the Cluster Commander and the Commander of the New Fourth Division.

Zhang Xuewu personally served as the commander of the Central Cluster, with the Third Armored Division, the New Ninth Division of the Youth Army, the 10th Division, the Fifth Field Heavy Artillery Brigade, the Sixth Brigade, the Third Brigade of the Mobile Rocket Artillery, the Engineer Regiment, the Anti-Air Regiment, the Chemical Defense Regiment, the Second Field Hospital, the Second Flying Fighter Division, and the entire bomber unit. The headquarters arrived in Chengde to garrison, and changed its past defensive attitude, giving the Japanese army a feeling that they seemed to be looking for favorable fighter jets.

In Yinchuan, the newly formed 11th Division and the 12th Division of the Youth Army were used as the foundation to supplement the 700 grassroots officers from the Baotou Military Academy's short-term training class. Five garrison divisions were selected from various places to form the Northwest Cluster. The newly formed 11th Division, the 12th Division, the 13th Division, the 14th Division, the 15th Division, the 7th Field Heavy Artillery Brigade, the 4th Brigade of the Mobile Rocket Artillery, the 5th Brigade, the First Light Fleet Regiment, the Second Light Fleet Regiment, the Third Light Fleet Regiment, the Fifth and Sixth Strong Strikes Brigade, and Major General Huang Tao, the General Senator of the Tenth War Zone, was the commander of the cluster.

The purpose of the four combat clusters formed by Zhang Xuewu is to be flexible and mobility in combat, so as to avoid excessive dependence on the staff headquarters and lack of suspicion of the overall strategy. It can also be seen that the focus of Zhang Xuewu's attack has changed from the Northeast to North China, because the main force of the Japanese army in North China is now digging in Jinzhou every day, becoming a group of groundhogs.

The elites of the 10th War Zone of Zhang Xueji gathered together. Hao Wenbin, Chen Yuxing, Li Xinkai, Wang Chuang, Xu Guohui, Zhao Xinyu, Hu Zhenglong, Gao Zhihang, Guo Xiangfei, Zhan Yang, Tang Ziqiang, Zhang Tianpeng, Huang Tao, Ye Yunfei, Zhang Lingfu and others rushed back to Chengde from the front line of the army.

Before the combat meeting, Zhang Xuewu first took out a telegram to condemn the National Civil Affairs for shamelessness and inaction, and did not resist Japan to jointly sign a telegram to a group of generals. The generals present were also fired by the Japanese Kwantung Army this time, especially the Fifth War Zone where more than 700,000 troops were stationed in Xuzhou. They were busy playing with strategic deployment for two months from beginning to end. This slow strategic deployment was not finished until the Japanese army was confirmed to be defeated, but only made a corresponding strategic deployment for the Japanese army in China and there seemed to be no tendency to attack in the near future.

The generals led by Hao Wenbin and Xu Guohui believed that the National Civil Affairs Department could no longer be supported. They had given Li Zongren so much help to the fifth war zone, but in the end they were only to keep the troops unmoved? Did Li Zongren dare not accept any orders from the foreign military? In fact, Zhang Xuewu was very clear that it was not that Li Zongren did not dare, but that if Li Zongren really did this, a large number of miscellaneous troops were put into combat. How should the direct troops of the Central Army, as the most combat-capable Central Army in the fifth war zone, handle themselves? What should they do if these troops listened to Xuan and did not listen to the orders like Tang Enbo? Obviously, the only person who knew Li Zongren best in his situation was Zhang Xuewu.

Therefore, the extremely indignant generals signed and condemned each other happily. Everyone knew very well. The so-called condemnation was just a gimmick for Zhang Xuewu. The real purpose was to make everyone stand on the same boat and work together. The chairman's gold bullet and silver bullet were very tempting, but we must also consider that if he really became a traitor, how could he be trusted? Moreover, the troops in the 10th War Zone were adapted from the Rehe Legion. It has always been repeatedly instilled and educated the officers and soldiers with fanatical personality cult and national rejuvenation as the core concept. Even the division commander may not be able to pull the troops away, because the battalion commander below was a student who had studied in the Baotou Army Infantry Command Academy, and Zhang Xuewu was also the dean of the college.

Looking at the signing of joint deployments one after another, Zhang Xuewu was still very satisfied with these subordinates who were now jealous of the National Civil Affairs Office and could only run to the black side with him. Only by forming a close interest group can the Tenth War Zone continue to exist. The collapse of a powerful group and fortress is often not conquered, but has begun to collapse from the inside.

After Zhang Xuewu ordered people to turn on the power, he began to hold a secret military meeting to study and discuss the next plan for replenishment and refill of the troops, and transferred the strategic center from the attack on the three northeastern provinces to North China. However, in the northeastern aspect, it was necessary to give the Japanese Kwantung Army a huge sense of oppression, causing the Japanese to fall into forced strategic defense.

Zhang Xuewu was studying his strategic deployment, but someone broke a Qianlong pot worth tens of thousands of oceans in Luojia Mountain, Wuhan. He stared at his eyes and the blue veins on his head pounded, tearing the electricity to pieces, and cursing Zhang Xuewu and his men as the only men of the people, spreading rumors and slandering the supreme commander.

He Yingqin, Bai Chongxi, Zhang Qun and others stood aside and were speechless, especially He Yingqin had a clear understanding of the whole incident. It was your Chairman Jiang who suppressed Li Zongren and instructed him to sit in the mountains to watch the tiger fight. Now that the two tigers have been fought, the Japanese have completely retreated, Zhang Xuewu naturally has to hold a grudge and not make any disgusting things about the telegram and revelation. He is not Zhang Xuewu.

In fact, this time, the Japanese Kwantung Army and the North China Front Army jointly launched a siege on the 10th War Zone. Many foreign reporters also believed that the Fifth War Zone would have major military operations and would likely take the initiative to seek fighter jets to attack the Japanese Central China Front Army. However, the government has always claimed that the time is not yet ripe. Now the battle is coming to an end, the Japanese Kwantung Army fled in panic, and even the main force of the North China Front Army was chased and fled into Manchuria. It can be said that the Fifth War Zone lost a big fighter jet from beginning to end.

Therefore, Zhang Xuewu's power-up was like a deep water bomb. Zhang Xuewu was firing authentic "map cannons"! He bombarded all relevant officials from the National Government, so Wang Jingwei and others also jumped out to clarify that he firmly advocated anti-Japanese resistance. Chiang Kai-shek's anger was directly reflected in the provisions approved by the Ministry of Military Affairs to the 10th War Zone. Everyone knew that the Supreme Military Commission of the Central Government only gave fixed staffing of the 12 divisions in the 10th War Zone.

The situation in the Tenth War Zone was extremely special. It was hanging behind enemy lines, and the soldiers had to be replenished through Shanxi. The National Government also secretly intercepted the patriotic and passionate young people who went to the Tenth War Zone, which led to Zhang Xuewu fighting with the Second War Zone every few days. However, Zhang Xuewu had the experience of killing the Second War Zone, and the Jin army was very afraid of Zhang Xuewu, a completely disregarded person.
