Text Chapter 163 The Japanese Strategy in Yang Jicai¡¯s Eyes

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    What Yang Jicai is most worried about now is that the Japanese troops in North China have joined the Rehe battlefield. This is the most dangerous thing in his eyes. Whether the troops of the 18th Group Army in the pass can contain the Japanese North China Front is still unknown. Now the Japanese troops in North China  No large forces have been directly dispatched yet, but if the war situation continues, who can guarantee that the Japanese army in North China will not dispatch the main force northward.

    The Japanese army is not monolithic. In addition to the traditional army and navy due to different strategic goals and competition for military expenditures, there are also different disputes within the army for interests. In addition to the Korean army and the Kwantung Army, due to traditional relationships and strategic positions  The common interests are closely united.

    The relationship between the Kwantung Army and the North China Front Army affiliated to the China Expeditionary Force is not too harmonious. As for the most basic reason for this, there is only one sentence: interest. As for what interest, to put it bluntly, it is just one word money.  , everyone wants to catch the fat, but there is only so much fat, and when everyone wants to take a bite, it will inevitably cause some disputes.

    Of course, in terms of external affairs, especially in terms of policy towards China, the two are consistent, but when it comes to the distribution of interests between them, the two sides still get along somewhat and are not very happy. Just like when the Puppet Mongolian Army was formed,  The Chinese garrison in Tianjin and the Kwantung Army were trying to undermine each other, both trying to get their hands in.

    In particular, the Chinese garrison army, which was very dissatisfied with the Kwantung Army's monopoly on Northeast China at that time, secretly undermined it several times in order to expand its sphere of influence, and even dispatched consultants to the formed Mongolian Autonomous Army. If the Kwantung Army had not used a large number of weapons and equipment from the Northeast Army captured in its hands,  To strike first is to gain the upper hand. It is not certain who will win this so-called Mongolian army.

    Of course, in the end, the so-called Mongolian autonomous government was eventually assigned to the Mongolian garrison, which was affiliated with the North China Front Army. Although the Kwantung Army finally implemented this order, this result made the Kwantung Army, which had always emphasized the so-called integration of Manchu and Mongolia,  It¡¯s a given that you feel uncomfortable inside.

    Because in the view of the Kwantung Army, the entire area beyond the Great Wall of China should be within its sphere of influence, and the so-called Mongolian Autonomous Government and the so-called Mongolian Autonomous Army were not only established by themselves, but also the weapons and equipment.  What he provided was poached by the Chinese Expeditionary Forces. Although the Kwantung Army said nothing on the surface, they were very dissatisfied in their hearts.

    Similarly, the North China Front Army is also coveting the monolithic Manchukuo controlled by the Kwantung Army. They are always thinking about extending their power into Manchuria to gain some profits, especially Rehe, the largest tobacco producing area in northern China.  , the North China Front Army has been keeping an eye on it since its formation, but it has been unable to reach in due to the tight control of the Kwantung Army.

    In addition, the Chabei area is also controlled by the Kwantung Army, which has always considered it to be its own sphere of influence and has adopted various means to control it. This makes the North China Front Army even more unhappy. At this time, not counting the unified deployment of its Tokyo base camp, it is simply using the Kwantung Army.  When the military situation is unfavorable, they can participate in the fight for control of Rehe and seize a large financial source for themselves. The North China Front Army and even the China Expeditionary Force will also find ways to get involved.

    Rehe is the largest tobacco producer in northern China. The tobacco produced in it is not only of high quality but also large in output. Coupled with the low-price acquisition policy adopted by the Kwantung Army, it is almost equivalent to no cost. Most of the tobacco produced in Henan, the main tobacco producer in North China, is still controlled.  In the hands of the Chinese army, Rehe was almost like a piece of fat and oily fat to all aspects of the Japanese army in China.

    What is smoke and soil, also known as black gold, which is equivalent to black gold. Whoever controls Rehe will have an endless supply of almost endless small treasury for themselves. Even for the sake of profit, the North China Front Army will control Rehe  The situation will not sit idly by.

    And even if the North China Front Army does not participate in the war, it is not a pleasant thing for anyone to have such a large group of enemy troops behind them. Although the Japanese North China Front Army is relatively dispersed in its deployment, the Japanese army relies on the advantage of the railway transportation lines it occupies.  , and it is still very easy to mobilize troops consistently, and the most important thing now is the North China Front Army. Although the main divisions have not yet been dispatched, they have actually joined in.

    The Japanese and puppet troops who were defeated by him and were affiliated with the Mongolian garrison army, as well as the Japanese and puppet troops currently blocking the front line of the Great Wall, were all Japanese troops affiliated with the North China Front Army. From this point of view, it has been shown that the two major Japanese armies  Although the strategic groups are infighting in their hearts, they are accelerating their cooperation out of their own interests and the so-called overall interests of the Japanese Empire. The Japanese army is now very likely to treat the inside and outside of the pass as a whole battlefield.

    Although he has not been working at the headquarters for a long time, under Guo Bingxun's conscious leadership, Yang Jicai, who has a long-term vision, is very clear that the battle in Jehol is not only related to the Anti-Japanese Alliance or the internal forces, nor the Kanto"My own business, this is a game, a game that is extremely important to the balance of power between the enemy and ourselves on the Sino-Japanese battlefield."

    Once the Anti-Japanese Alliance and Guanchi forces converge, what impact will it have on the overall layout of the Japanese army on the Chinese battlefield and what kind of danger will it bring to the Japanese rule in North China? The top brass of the Japanese army should be very clear. Based on the Japanese  In terms of their consistent character, they will never let a dangerous situation go unchecked.

    Rehe is close to Beijing and Tianjin. It has been the gateway to the North China Plain since the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is now a hub connecting several strategic areas of the Japanese army. Once Rehe is lost, not only the Japanese occupied areas in North China will be directly exposed to the artillery fire of the Anti-Alliance.  Moreover, the Beining Railway, the communication line between the Kwantung Army and the North China Front Army, will be seriously threatened. This is absolutely impossible for the Japanese army to accept.

    There are indeed certain conflicts between the Kwantung Army and the North China Front Army, but that is just a competition for their respective interests. On the point of annihilating the Chinese anti-Japanese armed forces, the two sides have no different fundamental positions. If Rehe is lost, it will not only be the loss of the Kwantung Army, but also North China.  The flanks of the Front also posed a serious threat.

    Even the Beijing-Tianjin area, where the headquarters of the North China Front Army is located and its most core ruling area, will be directly exposed to the muzzle of the anti-Japanese armed forces. It is probably not only the Kwantung Army that feels the danger now, but the North China Front Army will also have a thorn in its back.  a feeling of.

    Also, once the Anti-Japanese League has established a direct line with the customs, the Anti-Japanese League¡¯s equipment and personnel training level, especially its own military production capacity, coupled with the huge human and material resources in North China, as well as the fact that it has already launched operations all over North China,  The Eighteenth Army will pose an extremely fatal threat to the Japanese rule in the Northeast.

    Another thing the Japanese know very well is that no matter how the Anti-Union equipment is improved and how powerful the combat effectiveness is, there is a fatal weakness that the Anti-Union can never avoid, and that is Southern Manchuria, which concentrates the main human resources of the entire Northeast. At least  Currently still under the control of the Kwantung Army, Northern Manchuria, where the so-called base area of ??the Anti-Japanese Alliance is currently located, has the smallest overall population base in the entire Northeast.

    For an army or a war, equipment is not the fundamental solution to the problem. Without the continuous supply of additional soldiers, no one will use the best equipment. The only way is to defend South Manchuria and cut off the communication between the Anti-Japanese Alliance and the customs.  With direct land connections, even if the Anti-Japanese Alliance temporarily gained the upper hand, it would not be able to change the situation in the entire Northeast.

    Because the lack of effective recruitment of soldiers will be their most deadly threat. This threat is even greater than other aspects. It is basically impossible for a person to be able to carry a gun and fight without sixteen or seventeen years from birth.  Yes, some women who cannot go to the battlefield will be thrown out in the meantime. After sixteen or seventeen years, the day lilies will have been cold long ago, so why fight? Everyone can just go and have children.

    Northern Manchuria, where the so-called base area of ??the Anti-Japanese Alliance is located, has the least population resources and the smallest population base in the entire Manchuria. Even if the whole people are mobilized there, the number of soldiers to choose from is limited. As long as they are blocked to the north of the Songhua River,  If they are not allowed to enter the southern Manchuria and Jilin front lines, which are relatively rich in population, their strength will weaken little by little as they are depleted in battles without effective reinforcements of troops.

    After last year's battle, the Kwantung Army re-formulated its overall strategy in response to the current situation in the entire Northeast. With the so-called Manchu-Soviet border almost completely lost, the original strategic goal of advancing northward was naturally no longer mentioned.  In the current situation where the Kwantung Army has suffered repeated defeats on the battlefield, the goal of counterattacking Northern Manchuria and completely wiping out the Anti-Japanese Alliance is considered by many to be an extremely elusive goal.

    The current commander of the Kwantung Army, Umezu Yoshijiro, is a more realistic person. Under this situation, the Kwantung Army made a plan to maintain the front line at the current location and protect the food-rich and densely populated Jilin-South Manchuria line. In Western Manchuria,  , in an effort to protect the area south of the Nanxing'an line, they intensified various blockades on the Anti-Japanese League base areas north of the Songhua River, especially the northward migration of the population, in an attempt to trap the Anti-Japanese League in northern Manchuria north of the Songhua River.

    It is precisely with this understanding and its extremely important strategic location that the Japanese army will not give up Rehe easily and will do their best to ensure control of Rehe. Therefore, Yang Jicai feels that no matter from which aspect,  Sooner or later, the Japanese North China Front will intervene in the fighting in Jehol.

    Although Yang Jicai was not very clear about the strategic goal of the Kwantung Army because of its location, he knew one thing clearly. Although the Japanese army had internal disputes of one kind or another, it was still consistent externally. Once the Japanese army integrated the Kwantung Army and the  The two major structures of the North China Front are coordinating operations. This battle has another change, and this change is likely to appear on the North China Front.

    Although on the 1st, the advancing army was allowed to rest for a period of time after the Battle of Jehol, if the North China Front Army really sends troops?I am afraid that this rest time will not be too long. Under the current situation where the Anti-Alliance forces have been used to the extreme, even if Commander Wang successfully eliminates the 23rd Division.

    However, the main force of the roundabout force and Chen Hanzhang's unit that may join the Rehe battlefield will have to contain a large number of Japanese and puppet troops in Fengtian and Jilin in the next operation, especially the two Japanese divisions in Jinzhou. They are unable and unable to invest too much.  More troops entered the Jehol battlefield.

    If the North China Front Army really sends troops to Rehe, I am afraid that the main force will be used by the advancing army. However, although he knows that some of the battles in the future will be fought by himself, Yang Jicai is somewhat depressed after being transferred from the main battlefield. In his opinion,  Come on, Rehe is not the main battlefield after all.
