Chapter 289 The Great Wall War of Resistance (End)
"The Kwantung Army has indeed developed a sense of self-confidence. Taking advantage of the lessons of this failure, the Commander made a big revision to avoid repeating the same mistakes in the future. In addition, Jiang Li's 15th Army should also attract the attention of the empire. Jiang Li is not only a fierce and weird military strategist, but his vision of military construction is rare among the Chinese. The army sent to Luowenyu this time is almost no less than the imperial army except for armored vehicles. He even equipped Liandi.
The capital has not equipped air defense weapons on a large scale. According to the information, Jiang Li purchased a batch of oil smelting equipment last month to increase the mining of extended oil mines. Not only that, information also shows that in addition to rebuilding the arsenal in Gansu, Jiang Li also built an unknown steel plant. He already has a preliminary military production system, which is not even possible for the Nanjing government in China. He believes that in time, Jiang Li's threat is greater than that in Nanjing."
Okamura Yasuji said in a deep voice, "The volunteers in the northeast must be killed with one stick to prevent them from rekindling. At this time, the Kwantung Army had no extra troops to draw. If the 6th, 8th Division, 14th and later reinforced 33 mixed brigades gathered together, they could defeat the enemy in one go. However, after occupying the Rehe River, the long front line of more than 400 kilometers from Chinashanhaiguan to Gubeikou not only dispersed military affairs, but also added great difficulties to logistics. Especially at this time, the 6th Division suffered a heavy blow. From a military perspective, the Kwantung Army heading south had lost the ability to continue attacking. If the Chinese people were accumulating their strength to counterattack, they might not be able to firmly defend the territory they have occupied now with their existing forces."
"Well, my opinion is the same. Although the base camp is undergoing emergency mobilization, the far water cannot quench its near thirst. Britain, the United States and other countries have threatened that if the war continues, they will send coalition forces to land from Shandong. Under pressure from Europe and the United States, the base camp, but the empire needs to end the war with a decent amount, not now." Matsui Ishione nodded and said.
"Chiang Kai-shek was still in Nanchang to supervise the Communist Party. He also asked Wang Jingwei to preside over the National Government instead of Song Ziwen. This Wang Jingwei was not a staunch warrior. Moreover, at this time, Nanjing was the most critical time to suppress the Communist Party, he must not be willing to continue the war. As long as it was not too shameless, he would definitely reach an agreement with the empire on the North China issue again. As for time, I think it is time to negotiate with the Chinese people again, and wait for all the reinforcements to enter the designated location. As long as it can, assemble as many air forces to deal with the 15 Chinese troops, it is still possible to end the war with the empire with a decent end." Okamura Yasuji smiled slightly.
"Yes, it's worthy of being the think tank of the Kanto Army. Okamura Jun, this is why I transferred you from the north. In fact, the Empire has long been in secret with representatives from Nanjing to discuss the issue of ending the war, but the results can be achieved still depend on the performance of the Kanto Army on the battlefield. The diplomats are enough for the negotiations. I think we should achieve more military achievements that are more conducive to the empire." Matsui Ishione showed a satisfied smile on his face. Due to Okamura's outstanding performance, Matsui Ishione handed over more tasks to him.
"Thank you, Commander, for your trust!" Okamura Yasuji nodded.
After confirming the combat policy, Japan once again used the guise of peace talks to delay time. Although it knew that the Japanese army had used several random moves, as long as it was useful, it was a good move. At this time, the 17th Army and the 29th Army of Song Zheyuan sent by Nanjing had been fighting with the Japanese army for several months, and their combat effectiveness was exhausted for a long time. The personnel and ammunition were consumed very much, and the logistics supply was not perfect, and there was no counterattack. The main force of the Northeast Army had retreated to the rear and rested, and although Wang Tiehan
If he wanted to fight again, it was not easy for the Japanese army to enter the Great Wall Pass, and it was not easy for the first army to fight out. When even the Gubeikou and Xifengkou were unable to counterattack, he would lead a group of troops out of Luowenyu and would become an isolated army. There was a risk of being destroyed by the Japanese army's joint attack. In addition, the temporary cost of the first army was not small after several consecutive battles, so he rested in Luowenyu and sent some troops to support the main force of the 29th Army stationed in Xifengkou with Liu Ruming.
Part of the Japanese army's 33rd Brigade launched an attack on Luandong and captured the Shimenzhai area. Shang Zhen's 32nd Army, He Zhuguo's 57th Army, and Yang Zhengzhi's 53rd Army fought repeatedly with the Japanese army. In addition, due to the interference of the League of Nations and the concerns of the Japanese army, Luandong changed hands repeatedly.
After the army was deployed, the Japanese army captured Luandong again, and at the same time, the main force of the 8th Division attacked the positions of the 17th Army at night. Huang Jie, Du Jianming, Liu Kan fought hard with the Japanese army for three days, suffered heavy losses and was unable to fight again, so he ordered the retreat, and the important towns Shixiao and Miyun fell one after another. The Beiping Army Branch urgently dispatched Fu Zuoyi's 59th Army, Xiao Zhichu's troops from Nanjing 26th Army gathered in Peiping, and at the same time, ordered the Feng Qinzai 42nd Division sent by Yang Hucheng and the Zhang Zhibang's 2nd Division to rush to Beiping to meet the 17th Army. At this time,
In the Luanhe area, the Japanese army mixed 33rd Brigade and the 28th Brigade of the 14th Division transferred, crossed the river from Gaotaizi, Ninzikou and other places. The 29th Army stationed at Xifengkou was forced to retreat to the west of the Luanhe River and jointly defended the Luanxi area with Wang Yizhe's 67th Army. The Japanese army once again showed amazing efficiency and fought overnight. A force assaulted the gap between the 29th Army and the 67th Army. Wang Yizhe's 67th Army retreated one after another, and Song Zheyuan's 29th Army fought hard for nearly six days alone. Finally, because he was outnumbered, he had to retreat westward.
When the battle on the front line was the most intense, a sad decision appeared on the negotiating table. As the secret negotiations between China and Japan in Peking reached a critical moment, in order to make the Japanese army agree to a ceasefire, the Peking Army Branch ordered He Zhuguo, Wang Yizhe, Wan Fulin and other troops to withdraw to Ninghe, Baodi line, and Song Zheyuan's troops retreated to Sanhe and Pinggu areas. As a result, the Japanese army's attack on Luanxi was like a normal marching and did not encounter any resistance.
"Xipi, Wang Tiehan has moved the military headquarters to the front line. Yang Jie is still commanding hundreds of miles away. He really thinks he can plan and win a thousand miles away. Wang Tiehan and his army have achieved a record of nearly 1 to 1 with the Japanese army. The casualties ratio between the Central Army and the local army and the Japanese army is nearly 12 to 1. Does it mean that Jiang Li's 15th Army can also fight against several Central Army corps!"
Chairman Jiang threw the telegram on the table and cursed. This time the armistice with the Japanese army was not glorious. The patriotic officers and soldiers in China were full of voices of fighting. The Kuomintang army suffered more than 19,920 casualties, and more than 29,730 minor and serious injuries. The Japanese army suffered more than 11,200 casualties, and the proportion of more than 7,200 wounded seemed reasonable, but if the battle between Zhuang Huchen and Weng Zhaoyuan and Chengde was eliminated, there was also the Luowenyu victory that Wang Tiehan temporarily fought.
