Devil's Army
Chapter 173: Western Expedition to Chahar
(Additional note: First of all, I would like to thank everyone who supports me!
Thank you for giving me tips every day, Gu Xinyue who loves fruit vinegar drinks!! Your tips every day are my affirmation and support!
To all the other friends who gave me rewards, I would like to express my gratitude here!!
A reader said that I update too little and I am deliberately whetting their appetite. This is really unfair to me. The royalties from Tomato Novel are far from enough to support a family's daily expenses. I often have to do some odd jobs to help with the family expenses. I also have to think about chapters and look up information. I can usually only update two or three chapters a day. I really don't mean to whet their appetite. I apologize again for the inconvenience caused to you. )
After seeing Leng Feng, Mr. Zheng and the others off that day, Wu Lang began to plan for the Aozuikou Pass.
"Brigade Commander, there is a squadron of Japanese soldiers deployed on each side of Aozuikou. The terrain is easy to defend but difficult to attack. We may have to send one or two battalions of troops to take it down," said Hu Facai, who was good at fighting and had been promoted to the commander of the third regiment.
The Second Brigade only has six battalions in total. Two battalions will be deployed to attack a pass. This deal is a loss no matter how you look at it.
Due to the limited supplies in the fortifications at Aozuikou, Wulang decided to surround them instead of attacking.
He moved the brigade headquarters to a small path in the jungle not far from Aozuikou, and sent the first regiment to garrison not far from the southern exit of the Aozuikou fortifications, the second regiment to the northern entrance of the Aozuikou fortifications facing Aozuikou, and the third regiment to the northern entrance of the Aozuikou fortifications facing Tiaobinshan County. The brigade's direct battalion served as a reserve force.
Every morning, the three regiments of the Second Brigade conducted drills and training as usual, just like they did in Hujia Village.
There is no water source at Aozuikou, and the Japanese in the fortifications cannot last for many days after drinking their reserve water.
On May 5, General Feng convened the "Chahar People's Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Conference" in Zhangjiakou. A massive demonstration was held after the conference.
Under the non-resistance policy of the Nanjing government, General Feng held high the banner of anti-Japanese resistance, which attracted great attention from patriots at home and abroad, and they called to express their support. The Red Army also sent more than 300 outstanding cadres from the Pingjin area to assist General Feng in forming the Chahar Anti-Japanese Allied Army.
While the anti-Japanese movement in Chahar was in full swing, the 500,000 yuan military expenditure and appointment letter given by the Nanjing government to the Northeast First Army of the National Revolutionary Army were also delivered to the Oroqen tribe.
Also delivered was an order for the First Army to send troops to Chahar to assist General Feng's Chahar Anti-Japanese Allied Army in expelling the Japanese invaders.
"Commander, has the Nanjing government also started to resist the Japanese?" asked Gray Wolf.
"Assisting in the anti-Japanese war and expelling the Japanese invaders is a cover, and the real purpose is to fight for influence and control over Chahar." Leng Feng revealed the Nanjing government's purpose in one sentence.
After all, the Nanjing government was caught in the cusp of public opinion at home and abroad because it abandoned the three northeastern provinces without firing a single shot. It wanted to win back some public support through the Rehe Campaign, but it was a complete failure again, so it had to let Marshal Zhang step down to quell public anger.
Taking money from others to help them get rid of disasters, not to mention that fighting against Japan was the original intention of the First Army.
Leng Feng ordered the 3rd Brigade and the 6th Brigade to form the Western Expedition Army. Li Guozhu of the 3rd Brigade was the commander-in-chief of the Western Expedition Army, and Liu Yaohua of the 6th Brigade was the deputy commander-in-chief of the Western Expedition Army. They took the golden eagle and set out for Chahar on the morning of the second day after receiving the order.
The Sixth Brigade handed over the defense work on hand to the Fifth Brigade. At 7 o'clock the next morning, they attended the Western Expedition Army Departure Ceremony held by Leng Feng on the playground and started the First Army's first obedience to the Nanjing government's dispatch and marched westward with the Third Brigade!
In order to avoid the Japanese and puppet troops in Rehe, the Western Expedition Army marched in many places and arrived in Chahar in mid-June.
General Feng, who had been appointed commander-in-chief of the Chahar Anti-Japanese Allied Army, had also heard about the Fengtian Campaign launched by the First Anti-Japanese Army in Chahar, and warmly received the soldiers of the Western Expedition.
On June 6, the Western Expedition Army followed Zhang Lisheng's Allied Forces to fight the first battle in Kangbao, attacked Guyuan, and recovered a large area of land in the east of Chahar. The Japanese and puppet troops fled back to Duolun in a panic.
Duolun is an important town in the east of Chahar, a transportation hub connecting Chahar, Rehe, Hebei and Inner Mongolia, and a commercial center and military fortress outside the Great Wall. The Japanese army deployed heavy troops and a large number of artillery here. There are also numerous bunkers, trenches and barbed wire outside the city.
The Western Route Army and the Allied Forces launched three fierce charges, all of which were blocked by the fierce firepower of the Japanese and puppet troops.
The Japanese army sent out bombers to bomb, but before they started, two of them were blown up by Golden Eagles. One was damaged by the fragments of the exploding bomber and flew away with black smoke. The other bombers also fled in panic.
The Japanese army guessed that the evil troops had joined the war and was horrified. From then on, they dared not send bombers to bomb recklessly.
On the evening of the 11th, General Ji and 40 soldiers disguised themselves as puppet troops and sneaked into Duolun City. On the evening of the 12th, General Ji sent a signal to the siege troops outside the city.
The Allied Forces and the Western Expedition Army outside the city attacked Duolun City fiercely. General Ji and his soldiers who sneaked into the city launched a fierce attack on the Japanese and puppet troops from inside the city, and took advantage of the situation to open the city gate.
The Allied Forces and the Western Expedition Army rushed into Duolun City and engaged in fierce street fighting with the Japanese and puppet troops.
The Japanese and puppet troops relied on the houses and put up a tenacious resistance.
Three hours later, more than a thousand stubborn Japanese and puppet troops were annihilated, and the rest fled Duolun in a panic.
At this point, the entire Chahar region was completely recovered. When the news spread, the whole country was excited. General Feng also became famous.
The bald leader of the Nanjing government was extremely jealous of this. In addition, the Japanese army put pressure on the Nanjing government on the grounds that the Nanjing government violated the Tanggu Agreement. They also sent heavy troops to wait for an opportunity to counterattack.
The Nanjing government declared the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces an illegal armed force and sent 16 divisions to Chahar. It also instructed the National Revolutionary Army's Western Expedition Army to cooperate with Minister He's 16 troops to prepare to wipe out the illegal Chahar Anti-Japanese Allied Forces.
Commander-in-Chief Li of the Western Expedition Army followed Leng Feng's instructions and quietly told General Feng the secret order from the Nanjing government.
At this time, the Chahar Anti-Japanese Allied Forces were also falling apart, and were under heavy pressure from the Nanjing government, and the Japanese and puppet troops launched a heavy counterattack. Helplessly, General Feng had to agree to hand over power to General Song, and he left Zhangjiajie and returned to Mount Tai.
The Western Expedition Army also completed its mission and returned to the Oroqen tribe.
