Glorious Mission 1937

Chapter 324: The 12th Division Sent to Your Door

The rapid escalation of the war made the Japanese base camp very dissatisfied, but more worried about the future situation.Please remember the URL of this site:.The time has entered the beginning of June 1939. At this time, Germany has annexed Czechoslovakia, and the situation in Europe is extremely tense.The strong rise of Germany not only made the surrounding small countries tremble, but also made the Soviet Union, a big country, feel panic.

In order to stop the aggression of Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union is negotiating with Britain and France at this time, aiming to establish a collective security system.However, due to various reasons, the negotiations failed.At this time, Britain and France have seen the strength of Germany. On April 4, on the day of Hitler’s 20th birthday, Germany held a grand military parade. The tens of thousands of elite German combat power in this military parade made Britain and France feel Shocked, they seem to have smelled the smoke of war.

Despite this, Britain and France did not agree to an alliance with the Soviet Union. They believed that so many years of hard work should be able to move the Germans, and the direction of German tanks would only go to the east, not the west where they were.More importantly, Britain and France have their own plans. France is very confident in the 50 billion Maginot line of defense. If the Germans want to attack France behind this line of defense, they will have to pay at least 50 casualties. Therefore, France is fearful.

Britain is not worried about the German attack because of the natural barrier of the English Channel.Although the German army is very powerful, the proud British never took the German navy seriously. The British gentlemen who spanned five continents and four oceans would wipe out all the landlubbers in Germany in the exhausted strait.

Although the negotiations did not yield much results, the Soviets still did not give up.They traveled between countries and frequently met with dignitaries from various countries.And hold talks.And all these make Japan extremely nervous. Once the Soviet Union resolves the threat to the east, it is bound to do its best to deal with the crisis in the east. [

At this time, although Japan thought it was very strong, it did not dare to go to war with China and the Soviet Union at the same time, because at this time Japan's economy was already able to support a larger war.Originally, according to the idea of ​​​​the base camp, even if a certain price is paid, even if Japan takes the initiative to retreat, this northern crisis must be resolved.But due to the strength of the Kwantung Army.It is believed that the scale of the war can be controlled in a local area, and it should be possible to defeat or even wipe out the Soviet Red Army's Far Eastern Front in a short period of time.

However, things backfired.For two and a half months, instead of defeating the Soviet Red Army, they suffered repeated heavy losses from the Soviet-Mongolian coalition forces.Now it has even attracted a 10,000+ army from the eighth station of the National Government, which is not only panicking in the base camp.Even the Kwantung Army Command, which has always been strong, is in a hurry.

The development of the matter to the present is definitely not what the North China Front Army wants to see, let alone what the Japanese army base camp sees.However, things have happened, and they must face it no matter what.

Tens of thousands of troops marched westward, expanding the scale of this war again.So far, the two major overseas strategic groups of the Japanese army have all invested in the fierce war.In the north, the main force of the Kwantung Army was divided into two battlefields.The first battlefield is the Nuomenkan battlefield, which is also the main battlefield. Here, the Kwantung Army mobilized 3 divisions and 2 brigades. In addition, it also mobilized more than 400 tanks and 450 aircraft to fight against the Far East Red Army commanded by Zhukov. The First Army confronted.

The second battlefield is on the eastern grasslands.Mainly concentrated in Chifeng, Tongliao and the east of Xilin Gol.Here the army mobilized two divisions and 4 puppet divisions, and the 15 troops under Chifeng's troops were carrying it hard.

in North China.The Japanese army was also full of flames and wars, and the Shanxi First Army went on a rampage.Northern Hebei is ready to move, and even Jidong, which has been quiet for less than five months, is undercurrents. Both the commander of the Kwantung Army, General Ueda, and the commander of the North China Front, General Bin Shanyuan, feel a lot of pressure.Although their two corps combined had nearly a million troops, but after excluding the left behind troops, there were no more than [-] who could really attack.

But the enemy they have to face is far more than 40. Now there are 20 to 20 troops on the side of the Soviet and Mongolian coalition forces, and the combined army of the north and south in the eighth station area is at least [-], and there are also troops in the second theater. At least [-] troops can be used to attack. In addition, the first theater is not a mess, and [-] troops can be dispatched to attack southern Hebei at any time.The most important thing is that whether it is the Soviet Red Army or the Eighth, Second, and First Theaters of China, they can quickly mobilize more troops to participate in the war, which is far better than them.

So this battle seemed to be on fire, but the Japanese army didn't want to make things so big.In the telegram sent from the base camp to the Kwantung Army Command and the North China Front Army Command, Prince Kanin Gongzaihito, the actual controller of the Japanese army, warned General Ueda and General Bin Shanyuan that it would be best if the battle could end as soon as possible. If it can't end as soon as possible, then control the war within a certain range, because major events are likely to happen in Europe.

After receiving the order from the base camp, the North China Front Army quickly adjusted its strategy, and some troops of the First Army immediately stopped attacking. In the telegram sent by General Bin Shanyuan to the First Army, Bin Shanyuan ordered Umezu Yoshijiro to control the front line within 38 years. As it did at the end of the year, it caused a strong reaction from the second theater and the eighth station area of ​​China.

The Japanese troops who originally planned to attack Zhangjiakou and Fenghuang Mountain also retreated urgently. This made Xu Hu, the commander-in-chief of the 52nd Army who was ready to meet the enemy, very depressed, as if he had punched cotton.

Although the Japanese army had the idea of ​​retreating, Chen Feng disagreed. The Japanese could not judge the world situation, but he knew it clearly.And he also knew very well that the Japanese were about to make a big fall in Nuomenkan this time, which was a good opportunity for him to break into the eastern grassland and the northeast region.

Therefore, Chen Feng personally went to Xilinhot to command the battle.Knowing that the two divisions of the Japanese army and a large number of puppet troops went north to attack the Heshigten Banner, Linxi, and Xiwu Banner, Chen Feng ordered the local defenders to retreat immediately and resolutely refrain from confronting the Japanese army before the arrival of reinforcements.

On June 6, the 4th Regiment of the 8th Division of the Japanese Army captured Keshigten Banner, the 17th Regiment of the Japanese Army captured Bahrain Right Banner, and the 12th Infantry Brigade of the 12th Division of the Japanese Army captured Bahrain Left Banner. Put forward a posture of going straight to Xilinhot, trying to force Li Yifeng's troops to return to aid, and at the same time, also want to force Li Yifeng's troops to go south to fight them, so as to relieve the pressure on the front line of Nuomenkan.

Originally, according to Li Yifeng's combat plan, some troops were dispatched to the south to contain the Japanese army's westward advance, and at the same time, a special mixed brigade and two cavalry divisions were sent to the north, and he himself led the remaining troops to attack Huanglong, and Huolingol directly attacked the Japanese army. The important town of Tongliao.

But this battle plan was rejected by Chen Feng, because Chen Feng knew very well the result of the Nuomenkan Battle. The seemingly powerful Kwantung Army was vulnerable to a single blow in front of the god of war Zhukov. It doesn't matter whether my troops go or not, it doesn't have much value.More importantly, Nuomenkan is too far away from Xilinhot, and it is also a strategic location that the Soviet and Mongolian troops attach great importance to, so the Soviet Union will not let itself hang on to that place, so there is not much benefit in running so far of.

Since the Japanese army wants him to go south to fight, then I will do as they please. All 15 troops will go south, not even the Huolingol that was just captured.Chen Feng knew that the Japanese army had only stationed one division in the Horqin area, and his target was the 12th Division.

The reason why Chen Feng dared to attack the permanent division of the Japanese army was because, on the one hand, the 12th Division happened to be the Japanese army stationed in the Horqin area, and there was no way to match it.On the other hand, it was because Chen Feng understood the 12th Division, not only its past, but also its present and future.It can be said that this division is the most special division among all the troops of the Japanese army. Compared with the dumbfounding fourth division, the luck of this 12th division is much more enviable.

The 12th Division was formed on October 1898, 10, and the place of formation was Kurume.Administer the 1th, 14th, 24th, and 46th Wings.This unit has always had a rusty sword during World War II. It existed as an important division when it launched aggression and expansion against mainland China. The 48th Division not only has four powerful infantry regiments, but also has field heavy troops The Artillery Brigade has jurisdiction over the Field Artillery Wing, the Independence Mountain Artillery Wing, and the Field Heavy Artillery Wing. In addition, there is an anti-aircraft artillery wing and a tank wing.

However, such a powerful military force has hardly fought a battle. After the Russo-Japanese War and before the 1932 Shanghai Incident in 128, the 12th Division only participated in a small-scale war, and its performance was mediocre.During the Shanghai Incident in 32, although the 12th Division sent a mixed 24th Brigade with three infantry brigades and a mountain artillery brigade as the backbone, it went to Shanghai to participate in the war.But the luck was not so good. After the brigade successfully landed at Wusongkou in Shanghai, it fought with Zhang Zhizhong's 5th Army on the line of Wusong Town-Miaohang Town-Dachang Town.It took nearly three months for the 24th Mixed Brigade to occupy Miaohang Town, and its performance disappointed the top Japanese army. In April 3, the 1936th Division was ordered to station in Manzhou, during which time there was no fighting. [

Moreover, Chen Feng also knew that even after the outbreak of the Pacific War, the 12th Division had no chance to go to the battlefield.Until November 1944, the 11th Division was sent to Taiwan to serve as Taiwan's defense.Until the surrender of the Japanese army in August 12, this new force had never fought against regular Chinese troops, let alone the U.S. Army. The only battle was probably with a U.S. submarine in the process of being transported to Taiwan. After a small fight, the result was that three warships were sunk and thousands of Japanese soldiers died in battle.

It can be said that although this army looks scary on the surface, it is actually a group of recruits, how could Chen Feng miss it.If it was another division of the Japanese army, Chen Feng would at most play a side drum, but since he met the 12th division with a lot of soldiers and money, Chen Feng would eat it in one bite, and then let the Kwantung Army see him well Mr. Chen is amazing.
