- Ishihara Cabinet Office, Tokyo, Japan.
Itagaki Seishiro, the current Cabinet Minister of War and Land, arrived at the door of Ishihara's mansion in an armored vehicle at high speed.
Before the armored vehicle came to a stop, Itagaki Seishiro kicked the door open, jumped out, and ran quickly towards the mansion.
Itagaki Seishiro and Ishihara Kanji are not only friends, but also the founders of this new cabinet, so the guards outside Ishihara Kanji's residence will naturally not stop him without a shrewd approach.
Itagaki Seishiro went straight to Ishihara Wanji's study, pushed the door in without knocking, and said urgently to Ishihara Wanji who was reading: "Ishihara-kun, it's not good, Shinozuka Yoshio's main force of the 200,000 Kwantung Army The whole army was destroyed.¡±
"Huh?" Ishihara Wan'er was shocked when he heard this, and stood up and said: "The entire army of 200,000 people was wiped out?"
Itagaki Seishiro nodded sadly and said: "It can be said that now the China Qiao family army has captured the entire Northeast. There are only less than 50,000 people left in our Kwantung Army, and they have retreated into the Korean Peninsula, but the China people are not willing to give up. , they have mobilized tens of thousands of troops and a group of tanks and armored units, have crossed the Yalu River, and are advancing towards the hinterland of the peninsula."
"The Korean peninsula cannot be held anymore. Immediately order the navy to coordinate the remnants of the 50,000 Kwantung Army and quickly withdraw to the mainland." Ishihara Wanji made a decisive decision immediately.
"I'm afraid not. According to the latest news from the Navy Combined Fleet, the mixed navy fleet supporting Yoshio Shinozuka was attacked by an unknown submarine group in the Bohai Bay. It is initially suspected that it should be the Chinese Navy formed by Qiao Anbang. With their presence , our naval ships may not be able to approach the waters of the Korean Peninsula. Even if they risk approaching, if they are discovered, the loss will be unimaginable." Seishiro Itagaki said with a sad face.
"Then what should we do" Ishihara frowned and began to fall into deep thought.
Abandon the 50,000 remnants of the Kwantung Army? Obviously not.
But is there any way to get them out of the Korean Peninsula?
You must know that the Japanese military, navy and army have always been at odds. If the navy is to support the army's evacuation at all costs, it is obviously impossible.
Even if you force them to execute it, it may not be effective, Navy frontline commander. There are absolutely all kinds of excuses to shirk responsibility and do things half-heartedly.
After thinking hard, Ishihara Wanji really couldn't think of any good solution.
Next to him, Seishiro Itagaki suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "Ishihara-kun, I have thought of a way to help the remnants of the Kwantung Army withdraw to the mainland."
"What can we do? Tell us quickly." Ishihara Wan'er said impatiently.
"Mr. Ishihara, after China's Qiao Family Army captures the entire Northeast, it will definitely pose a serious threat to the Russian Far East. I believe it won't be long. The Russians are bound to go to war with the Qiao Family Army."
"Tell me about your specific plan." Ishihara Wanji interrupted.
"Order our 50,000 Imperial Army to immediately retreat toward Vladivostok. If the situation is critical, we should continue to retreat to Sakhalin Island. It should not be a problem to hold on to Sakhalin Island with 50,000 Kwantung Army troops.
And the most critical thing is that Vladivostok and Sakhalin have always been occupied by the Russians and regarded as territory. If the Qiao Family Army dares to continue pursuing, to the Russians, it will be equivalent to invading their territory. In this way, a war will most likely break out between the Russians and the Qiao Family Army.
Once a war breaks out between the two sides on the Manchu-Russian border. The Qiao Army will no longer have time to pursue the remnants of our Kwantung Army, and they can stay on Sakhalin Island and stand by. You can also withdraw your capital easily. "Itagaki Seishiro said with a treacherous look.
"Hey Xi, this method is very good. In this way, it is very likely to drag the Russians into the quagmire and trigger a war between China and Russia. Once there is a war between China and Russia, then our Empire of Japan will be able to gain incredible A precious respite." Ishihara smiled and nodded happily.
"That's what we should do?" Tojo Hideki asked tentatively.
"Well, just do as you say, Itagaki-kun, and immediately find a way to contact Tojo Hideki or Shinozuka Yoshio, and order them to immediately regain command of the Kwantung Army and evacuate to Vladivostok as quickly as possible." Ishihara smiled and agreed.
"Okay, I'll do it right away." After speaking, Itagaki Seishiro turned around and left.
?¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
Since the restoration of the entire Northeast, in order to prepare for possible conflicts with the Russians, Qiao Anbang has transferred two-thirds of the 100,000 remaining troops in the Pingjin area to strengthen the Northeast, especially the border areas between Heilongjiang and Russia.
At the same time, more than 300 fighter aircraft of the First Air Division deployed in Tianjin and Peiping will be transferred to the Northeast.
They are stationed at Shenyang, Qiqihar and Harbin airports.
Independent armored division, specialThe brigade was also transferred to the Hulunbuir Prairie to police the Russian troops stationed in Outer Mongolia.
In order to eliminate the remnants of the Kwantung Army as soon as possible and control the Korean Peninsula, Qiao Anbont transferred his main 1st Division and 5th Division to the Korean Peninsula.
This is also the reason why he transferred troops from Pingjin. The purpose is to make up for the vacancies in the 1st Reorganized Division and the 5th Reorganized Division.
After crossing the Yalu River, the 1st Integrated Division and the 5th Integrated Division immediately divided into two groups and advanced rapidly toward Pyongyang.
Since the Japanese army had no intention of resisting, the reorganized 1st and 5th Divisions advanced extremely quickly. In just three days, they marched more than 150 kilometers and reached the gates of Pyongyang.
But at this moment, the remnants of the Kwantung Army had already abandoned the city and fled, and the entire army was withdrawing towards Vladivostok.
After leaving some troops to garrison Pyongyang and other places, the 1st Integrated Division and the 5th Integrated Division continued the pursuit under orders. By the end of November, they easily occupied the entire Korean Peninsula.
However, the Japanese army retreated all the way and forcibly withdrew into Vladivostok, currently Russian territory.
Due to the special geographical relationship of Vladivostok, the Russians did not deploy many troops here at this time, and they were unable to withstand the attack of more than 50,000 Japanese troops.
Vladivostok was occupied by the Japanese Kwantung Army.
Because the Russians were involved, Li Yifeng and Jiang Jun did not rush to attack Vladivostok immediately. Instead, they quickly reported this information to Qiao Anbang in Shenyang.
??¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
"Vladivostok?" Qiao Anbang, commander of the Qiao Family Army in Shenyang, listened to Yali's report. He quickly got up and walked to the map and found Vladivostok.
He was silent for a long time looking at the map. After weighing the pros and cons, Qiao Anbang finally said to Yali: "Call back to Li Yifeng and Jiang Jun and order them to suspend the pursuit of the Kwantung Army. The first division will stay in the Korean Peninsula and the fifth division will return to Shenyang immediately."
"Yes!" Yali happily agreed, then turned around and left.
Looking at Yali¡¯s leaving figure, Qiao Anbang took out his cigarette and sighed. He didn¡¯t mean to let the Kwantung Army escape. But he was really not ready to go to war with Japan and Russia at the same time.
The Russians are not comparable to the Japanese. Since the Russians were unified through the October Revolution in 1917, after so many years of development, their economic strength, national strength, and military strength have all undergone earth-shaking changes.
In the past, the Japanese were known as the number one in Asia, but little did they know. As strong as Japan, its comprehensive national and military power can only rank seventh in the world.
And the Russians have become the third world power after Britain and the United States.
Therefore, now is not the time to start a war with the Russians. You must be fully prepared to be able to fight the Soviets in the Far East.
The following days. Qiao Anbang began the craziest expansion of the army in history.
Although the current regular strength of the Qiao Family Army has exceeded 500,000, this is still very good for the Russians who have a large number and a large amount of equipment.
To deal with a behemoth like Russia, Qiao Anbang must at least triple the number of troops he has.
because. Qiao Jiajun's territory has now expanded to nearly three million square kilometers, almost one-third of the size of China in later generations.
Such a big area. In order to guard against Chairman Chiang and other warlords, a considerable number of garrison troops need to be left in various places.
Five hundred thousand troops are not enough just to stay here, let alone to use troops abroad.
Qiao Anbang placed the main recruitment areas in the four provinces outside the Pass, which have a large population, and the number of hunters and retired soldiers is much larger than in other provinces.
Compared with farmers who have never even touched a gun, these soldiers are obviously easier to train and can form combat effectiveness faster.
After nearly a year of training, trainees from the crash course of Longshan Military Academy located in the northern Anhui base area have graduated three batches in succession.
As soon as these graduates graduated, they were ordered by Qiao Anbang to be transferred to the Northeast, preparing to serve as the backbone to expand new troops.
By the end of December 1938, after nearly a month of full-scale recruitment expansion, Qiao Anbang had recruited a total of 300,000 new soldiers in the four provinces outside the Pass, plus nearly 200,000 surrendered Manchukuo puppet troops.
Qiao Anbang's military strength outside the customs and on the Korean Peninsula has expanded to more than 800,000 people.
The original ten reorganized divisions were all expanded into group armies, and the original independent armored divisions were also dispersed and expanded into ten tank armored divisions.
The Special Operations Brigade and the Air Force in the Northeast were also expanded. After the expansion, the Special Operations Brigade was reorganized into a Special Operations Division, and the First Air Division in the Northeast was expanded into the Second Air Division.
At the same time, Qiao Anbang's troops remaining in the Central Plains within the pass also expanded. The 200,000 garrison troops in the East China base increased to 100,000, and ten new troops were recruited.The 1st Division was officially reorganized into ten reorganized divisions, and the 1st Air Division left-behind flying regiment was also expanded. The Armored Corps was dispersed and expanded into five armored divisions, and the East China Front Army Headquarters was established, with Qiao Anguo as commander, unified command of the 400,000 left-behind forces. force.
The more than 30,000 troops left behind in the Pingjin area have also been expanded accordingly, with their strength tripled and organized into a group army. Li Pinxian serves as the group army commander and provides unified command.
The specific organization of the ten group armies outside the customs is as follows. Each group army has three army reorganization divisions and one directly affiliated armored division, with a strength of more than 60,000 people.
After expansion, the East China Front has a total of ten integrated army divisions, five armored divisions and one air force, more than 2,600 tanks and combat vehicles of various types, and more than 1,000 aircraft of various types.
There are nearly 10,000 large and small artillery pieces. In addition, the East China Front also temporarily has jurisdiction over the newly established naval fleet.
The Ping-Tianjin Group Army has a total strength of more than 90,000 troops, four integrated army divisions, one armored division, 500 tanks and combat vehicles, more than 2,000 large and small artillery pieces, and no air force fighter aircraft.
The most powerful one is the ten group armies outside the Pass. It is a front army directly under Qiao Anbang's preparation for foreign operations. It has a total of more than 5,000 tanks, combat vehicles and armored vehicles of various types.
There are more than 1,300 aircraft and more than 20,000 artillery pieces of various calibers.
Since pilots cannot be trained overnight, Qiao Anbang can only assign 1,300 fighters to the Northeast Front Army in a short period of time.
The fighter planes are not the problem, the main problem is the pilots.
In order to facilitate command, Qiao Anbang officially reorganized all Qiao's troops one month after the expansion of each unit, that is, in January 1939.
After reorganization, the Qiao Army has a total of fifteen group armies, sixteen independent armored divisions, and two air force divisions.
The fifteen group armies are divided into two strategic groups: the East China Front Army and the Northeast Front Army.
Among them, five group armies and five independent armored divisions are affiliated with the East China Front Army, and ten group armies and ten armored divisions are affiliated with the Northeast Front Army.
There is another group army and an armored division, also known as the Pingjin Group Army. It is nominally affiliated with the Northeast Front Army, but is actually directly under the personal command of Qiao Anbang.
At the same time, Li Pinxian also served as deputy commander of the Northeast Front Army and commander of the Pingjin Group Army.
Since the 200,000 puppet troops and the 300,000 Qiao army are veterans with combat experience, the 300,000 additional recruits this time did not cause a serious decline in the combat effectiveness of the troops.
Seeing that the troops in hand were almost enough, Qiao Anbang began to set his sights on the Russians.
In fact, in the past two months or so, the Russians have not been idle. The first thing is to protest against the Japanese forcibly occupying Russia's inherent territory of Vladivostok.
And therefore lodged a solemn protest to the Japanese government.
¡°However, although the Russians are clamoring for ferocity in diplomacy, in fact they have been slow to launch military operations.
This is not because the Russians are afraid of the Japanese, but because they are afraid of the Qiao Family Army, which is actively expanding its military and preparing for war. To be precise, it is the Northeast Front Army of the Qiao Family Army.
On the contrary, as early as the Soviet Union completed its unification and Russia gradually became stronger, the Russians have been looking for opportunities to go to war with the Japanese so that they can regain the southern peninsula of Sakhalin that was forced to be given to Japan during the Russo-Japanese War.
If there was no threat from the Qiao Army in the Northeast, the Russians might have already launched an attack on Vladivostok and drove the Japanese into the sea to feed the fish.
In view of the rapid expansion of Qiao's army in the Northeast, in order to ensure the security of the Far East, the Russians mobilized a large number of troops to the Far Eastern border areas through the Siberian Railway and the Middle East Railway.
By early February 1939, the Russians had gradually assembled more than 400,000 troops, tens of thousands of artillery pieces, and thousands of tanks and chariots in border areas such as Outer Mongolia.
At the same time, reinforcements are still being recruited from the hinterland of Russia. At this time, Russia's national strength is strong, the number of troops has reached millions, and it also has nearly 10 million reserve troops.
Its war mobilization capability and war potential are extremely amazing.
Knowing that Qiao Anbang was actively preparing for war, and also in order to punish the hateful Japanese, the Russians made great efforts and decided to have a big fight with Qiao's army in the Far East.
Because both sides know that as the Qiao family's army becomes increasingly powerful, peaceful coexistence is no longer possible, and both sides must have a war to determine their dominance in Northeast Asia. - Didn't finish reading?
