Chapter 49: Wrong or Wrong

Seeing the documents on Minister Song’s desk full of documents and the staff behind him sent them from time to time, Jin Batian asked: “How is the situation on each line now?”

"Except for the Shang Zhen Ministry's failure to defeat the First Manchukuo Army and the 67th Division under the 32nd Army suffered heavy losses, the situation on all sides is good. The Shang Zhen Ministry has already allowed it to join the Miao Huiliu Army's troops in the 57th Army to pursue the Japanese." Minister Song was quite satisfied with the current situation. Even though the Shang Zhen Ministry did not break through the First Manchukuo Army's defense line, it had already suffered heavy casualties and forced the Japanese puppet army to retreat.

At this time, Duncan, the deputy platoon leader of the warrant officer who was known to Jin Batian, came over with a telegram: "Minister, Li Fuying of the Sixty-first Army was attacked by the Japanese and the Second Manchukuo Army, and the Akagi defense line could not hold on anymore."

This telegram undoubtedly gave the somewhat arrogant Minister Song a mouth. After receiving the telegram, Minister Song cursed: "Li Fuying, how did the Sixty-first Army fight? The Chicheng Line is the flank of the 67th Army of Gubeikou. What should I do if Wu Keren's troops were trampled by the Japanese? "

What Minister Song was really worried about was not that the 67th Army was trampled on the way, but because Wu Keren's unit of the 67th Army was the flank of the 17th Army, and the same reason was for worrying about the 67th Army and worrying about the 17th Army.

However, Jin Batian said a fair word: "The Sixty-first Army only has one division and two brigades, which is equivalent to a B division. Yan Laoxi was very angry. When the national crisis came, he was willing to send one division to the front line."

Minister Song also wanted to do it. The Jinsui Army was not under his control. It was Yan Xishan's army. Yan Laoxibi's ability was not very good, but Shanxi was run by Yan Xishan like an iron barrel. If Yan Xishan had not had a bad time with his general Shang Zhen some time ago, the Central Army would not have had the chance to win over Shang Zhen.

Minister Song said: "The telegram was forwarded to Shanxi, and Sun Dianying's 41st Army was sent to attack the Second Manchukuo Army on the side, and rescued the 67th Army of Chicheng. "

After a while, Shanxi also came to the telegram. Yan Laoxi had sent Fu Zuoyi's troops from the 35th Army to support the 67th Army. Li Fuying's best place would be the military court, of course the military court of the Jinsui Army.

Minister Song was relieved to see this. The two armies joined the remnants of the same division, and could they defeat the Second Manchukuo Army of the Puppet Manchukuo Army. The Second Manchukuo Army of the Puppet Manchukuo Army only had the fourth brigade, and when it was full, there were only more than 19,000 people. I heard that the commander of the Second Manchukuo Army of the Puppet Manchukuo Army was his own family. The former brigade commander of the Northeast Army made many military achievements after changing his banners and was promoted to the position of the commander of the Second Manchukuo Army of the Puppet Manchukuo Army. Unlike other Puppet Manchukuo Army, most of the subordinates of the Second Manchukuo Army of the Puppet Manchukuo Army were the former Northeast Army.

As mentioned earlier, at this time, most of the troops of the Zhongtian family were mercenaries, and everyone came to join the army to eat food and get salary. They did not avoid surrendering to the enemy after defeat. Most of the unlucky officers were officers, and only generals were given preferential treatment. The officers of the school were either removed from the army or were demoted. As for soldiers surrender, they would generally be eliminated from the elderly, weak, sick and disabled and then dispersed and merged.

This is how Song Yinya, the Second Army of Manchukuo, started his business. He has been peeking at the Northeast for decades since the previous dynasty. This layout was also laid out early. Whether it is necessary to lay out nails in the future or not is the Japanese's usual strategy.

Song Yinya, the commander of the Second Puppet Manchukuo Army, was from Jixi, Heilongjiang. During his school days in the Northeast Military Academy, he was targeted by the Japanese instructors. The Japanese instructors took special care of Song Yinya, asking for flower wine once every two days and tobacco once a day. After a long time, Song Yinya became more close to Japan.

At that time, Song Yinya was only a battalion commander of the Northeast Army for ten years. Later, after the Japanese Special High School developed Song Yinya, Song Yinya was able to move one year after another with a large handful of money sent by the Japanese in two years and be promoted to brigade commander.

Youdao is to use people's money and eliminate disasters. On September 18th, Song Yinya did not immediately follow the Japanese's routine and switch powers and flags, nor did he learn from other troops to resist or escape into the pass. Instead, he chose to hold on to the army without moving and watching the changes. Because of the special high school class, the Japanese did not make things difficult for him, or the Japanese at that time had no extra power to deal with him.

But in just a month, only sporadic resistance forces remained in the three eastern provinces and the young marshal's orders made Song Yinya feel depressed. After sending the subordinates who were unwilling to be puppet troops to leave, Song Yinya sent a telegram to change his flag and became the commander of the First Manchukuo Division. If it hadn't been delayed for a while, the position of the commander of the First Manchukuo Army of the puppet Manchukuo Army would have fallen on Song Yinya.

After the electricity was turned on, Song Yinya was very powerful as a professional soldier to suppress bandits and appease the places. The Japanese slowly put down their guard and organized the former Northeast Army, which were captured and surrendered, into Song Yinya's troops. The wings of Song Yinya's troops, which were originally less than a brigade, gradually became fuller, forming a military head of nearly 20,000 troops of the two divisions and four brigades.

The Li Fuying army of the Sixty-first Army did have a tough problem this time. Sun Tzu said that the art of war would attack him if he had twice the troops. Although they were all named an army, the enemy was twice as good as his. In the past, the defense operations had to be driven by the puppet army's offensive without enthusiasm to survive.

Li Fuying, who was unconfident in this full-scale attack, sent only two battalions as vanguards. After simple firepower preparation, the Jinsui army of the two battalions rushed forward. This sudden attack only caused a short period of panic to the Second Puppet Manchukuo Second Army. After the panic was over, everything was over. The Second Puppet Manchukuo Second Army was not a bandit force like the Third Army of the First Army, which lacked guns and artillery. The Northeast Army established in the era of Zhang Dashen attached the most importance to artillery construction. Although the heavy artillery of the Second Puppet Manchukuo Second Army did not allocate due to this reason, light artillery below 100 mm can still be formed into an artillery brigade.

In contrast, the Sixty-first Army of the Jinsui Army was much shabby. Everyone knows that it is impossible to establish artillery brigades with the first division and two brigades, so the artillery of the Sixty-first Army of the Jinsui Army was the size of the artillery battalion. Most of the artillery equipped were war defense artillery and mortars.

The battle situation began to turn after the artillery fire of the Second Manchukuo Army of the Puppet Manchukuo Army was exerted. The subsequent attacking troops were repelled by artillery partitions. As a vanguard, almost not many people ran back alive in the two battalions of the Sixty-first Army attacking.

Taking advantage of the depressed morale of the enemy's newly defeated, Song Yinya sent a brigade to launch a beautiful counterattack and directly captured the 61st Army's front-line position. After the Second Manchukuo Army took over, he immediately launched an artillery bombardment on the 61st Army's second-line position. The second-line defense was also in danger for a while, and Li Fuying also sent a telegram to the Ministry of Military Affairs of Beiping at this time.

Fortunately, the Japanese were short of troops at this time and had no intention of annihilation of the Sixty-first Army. Before Fu Zuoyi's troops and Sun Dianying's 41st Army rushed over, the Second Puppet Manchukuo Army withdrew.

The Admiral's Chengde Front General Command ordered the cameras below to retreat and arrange defense lines in the direction of Chengde. Although the Admiral has not stated it clearly, in fact, in the North China strategy, it has begun to turn from offense to defense. Faced with the situation where the Shanghai and other concessions have been lost and the Tianjin Concession is in danger, it is no longer meaningful to win the tactical counterattack without support at one or two locations.

Originally, the Great Wall defense line would definitely not be able to defend it, just like the saying that Jin Batian could see: How can a thousand-mile defense line defend against the enemy?

The principal was also wrong, and he asked 300,000 troops on the Great Wall to launch a full-scale attack. Now even if one or two places have failed to attack and are hit by the enemy, they will fight back (Dugu Jiujian is caught in a gun). Because the Japanese now need to defend Chengde with inferior forces and eat up the war bonus they have obtained, they have no reinforcements and supplies to follow up. It will take at least one month to wait for the local reinforcements and supplies to be in place now.

At this time, the Japanese had only 40,000 to 50,000 troops. Although they had been repaired many times, they still did not reach the level before the war. The puppet army had 70,000 to 80,000, but most of these puppet troops were formed by surrendering from various places outside the pass, and they were good at harassing the local area. The regular army, especially the Central Army, seemed to be unable to do so. With all the plans, there were quite a few troops of 120,000 to 30,000, but the Japanese were also wondering, how many troops could be left?

At this time, the puppet troops on the first line of defense outside Chengde were also panicked.
