Chapter 323 North
Of course this was just a small episode. The wedding was still going on as usual, and Yang Feng didn't rush to the Pentagon the next day.
"What's the specific situation?" he asked Sun Liren.
"One of our patrol team was ambushed, destroying two Wranglers and killing three soldiers. The other party dressed as a cavalry of the puppet army. Judging from the number, it was Zhang Haipeng's man. However, the war horses were Japanese war horses. They were deliberately provoking, and the front line had entered a state of war readiness." Sun Liren said.
The Tongliao garrison was the Northeast Advance Army. Zhang Zuoxiang released a reorganized army there, and the commander was Huang Xiansheng. The deputy commander was his son Zhang Tingshu. Now the entire Rehe front was responsible for the Northeast Advance Army. However, there was no difference between the armies at this time. The troops of Han Fuju and others were also included in the same command system. In addition to the appointment of their generals, the old warlords no longer care about the military affairs. They are all busy making money now! Anyway, the five northern provinces and two regions are already a de facto whole, because the economy is interdependent and no one can escape from each other, and Yang Feng is not a bald man. These old warlords are very relieved about him.
"Since you dare to provoke, you have to be beaten. If you grow your troops, Rehe will not need to move. Let the new army go to practice for them." Yang Feng said with a sneer. His 300,000 new army has been completed now. Because the bald man did not give him a number, he created the name of the Iron-blooded Anti-Japanese Army. This army is a real new army, an airborne division, and two armored divisions. He uses the Wujiu tanks imitated by Peking. Although it is still a little different from the Wujiu that Yang Feng purchased from Hyundai, it is no less than the earliest models.
Three mechanized infantry divisions are mainly heavy tiger tanks and imitated infantry fighting vehicles, six motorized infantry divisions, and four light infantry divisions. These four light infantry divisions include two mountain divisions and two amphibious combat divisions. All infantry weapons are type 56 firearms imitated in Peking and Chongqing. The heavy artillery is mainly made of 130 cannons made by Yang Feng from modern times. Although it does not reach a range of 30 kilometers, twenty-five kilometers are still very easy. As for artillery caliber like the Seventh Five, it can no longer be found in the new army. Even the airborne division is equipped with 105 mm howitzers. Of course, due to the weight-reducing airdrop, its performance is shrinking compared to the 105-5 guns of the infantry division.
Yang Feng had all hope for these 300,000 troops, and the main offensive tasks would be handed over to them in the future, such as counterattacking the Northeast, attacking North Korea, or even landing in Japan. In addition to the Northeast advance, the other old troops would mainly fight in the south, and their lighter equipment was also suitable for doing this kind of work. It would be unimaginable to let a mechanized force go to the jungle of Myanmar.
"What do the Japanese want to do this time?" After deciding to go to the Reikawa, Sun Liren also frowned. It seemed that this question also puzzled him.
"Is it just an accident? The enemies we have made with the Japanese over the years are deep enough, especially when so many people are killed in their local area. If some Japanese soldiers attack us privately because of hatred and are afraid of being discovered by their superiors, they simply pretend to be puppet troops." Huang Baitao said that there is no war in Myanmar now, and both sides are too lazy to act. It would be too wasteful to put him there, so Yang Feng simply transferred him back.
"This possibility is not ruled out, but I always feel it is not that simple." Sun Liren said.
Yang Feng's mind suddenly moved.
"Call Tang Jie." He said to a staff officer next to him. Soon, Tang Jie, director of the intelligence committee of the Joint Association, hurried in.
"What abnormal mobilizations have been made by the Japanese army on other battlefields recently? Especially those behind the fronts." Yang Feng asked. Now his intelligence system is a commercial network that is beyond the reach of Americans. It covers countless partners, and infiltration of various countries. It allows him to know what is happening in any corner of the world as quickly as possible. He may not be able to access some of the most core things, but things like mobilization of troops are easy for him. Even he himself does not know how many people are working for him. Anyway, the intelligence personnel cannot find out what his secretary Caiyi sister may know by just one telegram.
"The Japanese army has changed defense frequently recently. At least twenty divisions have changed defenses, or it can be said to have taken turns, because they mainly replace local troops with war zone troops. However, this type of resumption is very common in normal times, but this time it is a bit larger. The intelligence sent back from Japan seems that the Japanese army will not conduct large-scale operations in the past year, so they have replaced old troops who have been fighting abroad for many years with troops that have not experienced the battlefield in China. First, they are trained and second, they are allowed to rest. The withdrawal mainly consists of the standing division and the special divisions when the first expansion of the army. When the Southeast Asia is basically newly formed divisions, ten of which are just formed." Tang Jie said.
"Change defense, can't it be a preparation for the battle?" Yang Feng said with a sneer.
"Preparing for war? And us? After just experiencing a crushing defeat, I don't think they are so crazy yet, right?" Huang Baitao said in disbelief.
"With our friend Joseph, I also need the recent mobilization of the German team, especially their main troops, especially where Guderian's troops are. Heinz will be the only one to act this time," said Yang Feng.
He guessed correctly that the Japanese really wanted to attack the Soviet Union. They provoked Yang Feng just to mobilize troops in the Northeast to cover their support. Everyone knew that Yang Feng would never tolerate their provocation. With this guy's style, he would definitely mobilize the army to increase troops as quickly as possible, so that they could naturally increase troops in the Northeast and then quietly prepare for war. In recent years, they built the railway in the Northeast so well that they could mobilize troops from south to north as quickly as possible.
This time, we can't blame them for being greedy. A super-large oil field with a reserve of tens of billions of tons is enough to make anyone crazy. What's more, this oil field has begun to produce oil now, and this oil field can also avoid the crisis-ridden maritime transportation lines. They are not afraid of British submarines. What they are really afraid of is that once war starts with the United States, the huge Pacific fleet joins the blockade of them. No matter how powerful the joint fleet is, it is impossible to row out with the oars if it has no oil.
Although Tyumen is not close, there is a large Siberian railway, which is not an obstacle at all. In addition to the developed railway network in Northeast China and North Korea, crude oil can even be transported directly to Busan, and then an oil pipeline is built in the Strait of Korea, so that oil can be transported to Japan continuously.
