Traveling through 1937, I came to fight against the Kwantung Army

The weather is getting colder.

The snow on the ground is already a foot deep!

This situation is very difficult for large-scale combat operations.

Whether it is the safety of personnel, weapons and equipment, or logistical support,

It also brought great difficulties.

Jingshan Town,

Taking into account that the situation of the first army had greatly improved and the troops' campaign in Mengjiang County had basically ended, Yin Xinjun sent a telegram requesting all troops to begin gathering towards Narhong Town and prepare to return to the Jingpo Lake base!

With the financial and material support from Yin Xinjun, the First Army has expanded to more than 2000 troops (excluding the North Korean troops), and has been organized into five brigades, namely Han Renhe's 1st Brigade, Cao Yafan's 2nd Brigade, Wang Yaohui's 3rd Brigade, Li Hao's Guard Brigade and Jin RC's Independent Brigade!

in the yard,

There were piles of various rifles, including Type 500 rifles and Liao rifles, totaling more than !

On the ground next to them, there was a row of Type 50 light machine guns! A total of !

Next to the light machine gun are 30 grenade launchers!

Boxes of various types of ammunition were piled up more than a person high!

Several anti-Japanese fighters stationed in Jingshan Town are excitedly counting the supplies!

Before Yin Xinjun left, he took out a batch of stock from the space and handed it over to an army!

The gate of the courtyard opened, and Wei Zhengmin and a few others hurried over.

"Yan Wang, are you leaving today?"

"Yes, the matter in Mengjiang County has been completed. It is almost the end of the year. We plan to fight and retreat at the same time, and fight our way back!"

"The commander took Li Hao and the Guard Brigade to Baishan County. Commander Jin of the Independent Brigade had an important meeting with the commander there!"

The independent brigade is composed entirely of North Koreans, and the brigade commander is Kim RC. Although the independent brigade nominally belongs to the First Army, their range of activities spans the China-North Korea border and they actually have a great deal of autonomy.

Yin Xinjun stared into Wei Zhengmin's eyes.

"Secretary Wei, when the commander comes back, I hope the headquarters will move north as soon as possible. No matter where it is, it must be within 100 kilometers of Jingpo Lake. This way, we can contact each other through the radio and quickly support each other!"

Yin Xinjun was afraid that his army would repeat the same mistake, especially Commander Yang, who almost didn't care about his personal safety and took the risk to go to Baishan again.

Wei Zhengmin said gratefully,

"Originally, Brigade Commander Jin of the North Korean side intended to withdraw his troops to the Soviet Far East. The commander met with Brigade Commander Jin to discuss the matter together, hoping that they would also come to Jingpo Lake to conduct guerrilla warfare!"

When Yin Xinjun heard that it was North Korea's Brigade Commander Jin, he immediately became interested.

"Brigade Commander Jin? Can't they stay in North Korea?"

He is not very clear about the history of Korea's resistance against Japan!

"Alas, the North Korean comrades have come to the Northeast a long time ago. Their strength is too weak to gain a foothold in North Korea! Therefore, they have been active in our Northeast and are under the jurisdiction of the First Army of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces!"

Wei Zhengmin's words made Yin Xinjun nod his head frequently, but he was thinking about something else in his heart.

Why couldn't the war spread to Korea or even Japan's homeland?

"Secretary Wei, in fact, the South Manchuria Guerrilla Zone of the Anti-Japanese United Army borders North Korea. We can also consider cross-border strikes against the Japanese troops stationed in North Korea. In this regard, our team can provide all-round support!"

Wei Zhengmin was stunned. He had never thought of such a bold thing, but he nodded.

"Okay, I'll report this to Commander Yang right away!"

Xinjing,

Kwantung Army Headquarters,

In the conference room,

Major General Nozoe Masanori, commander of the Kwantung Army's 2nd Independent Garrison, suddenly discovered that

Kishiko Ryuichiro was definitely a talent. Especially after his death, the ten police brigades under his command collapsed rapidly.

Among the ten captains, three were killed by the King of Hell and the Anti-Japanese United Army!

The remaining seven captains all ran away. I don’t know whether they were scared by the King of Hell’s skin-peeling order or if they had some other ideas!

Without the effective cooperation of these police forces, Ye Fuchangde suddenly felt like he had lost his eyes. In Mengjiang County alone, his troops had lost more than 500 people.

However, he knew almost nothing about the strength, movements, intentions, etc. of the Anti-Japanese Bandits!

Just when he was at a loss, the Kwantung Army Headquarters convened a joint punitive operations meeting!

Lieutenant General Iimura Shige, the chief of staff of the frontline commander, first reported the battle situation of Ning'an and Dunhua in a long and rambling manner, and once again criticized the commander of the 12th Division, Uemura Seitaro.

If we lose the war, someone has to take the blame.

Often criticized,

Although Uemura Seitaro's face turned red with anger, he really couldn't find a reason to refute.

Because what Iimura Tsuyoshi described was basically true and not overly exaggerated.

Iimura continued,

"Commander, we have found traces of the King of Hell in South Manchuria, and there is evidence that the King of Hell's troops are now mixed up with the First Army of the South Manchuria Anti-Japanese United Army. This has caused great trouble for us to continue to attack the Jingpo Lake area!"

Umezu Mijiro looked at Nozoe Masanori.

"Deputy Major General Ye, what is the current situation in South Manchuria? When can we retake Mengjiang County?"

Nozoe Changde said with some guilt,

"Sir, my troops have been scattered due to the campaign against the Anti-Japanese United Army. They are currently gathering in Huadian, Tonghua, and Fusong. Due to the slippery snowy roads, it is very difficult for the troops to march. It is estimated that it will take another five days to complete the assembly. By then, we will launch a full-scale attack on Mengjiang County!"

Iimura said dissatisfiedly,

"Commander, I want to ask you how many enemies there are in Mengjiang County? Is the King of Hell in Mengjiang?"

Ye Fuchangde's face immediately turned red. He knew nothing about this information because the entire spy system in Mengjiang County had been eradicated!

However, he has reached this level, and he can brag easily.

"Sir, according to reconnaissance, Yan Wang personally led more than 3000 people to Mengjiang this time, and they brought cannons, tanks and other heavy weapons. After our crusade, the remaining strength of Yang's bandit group in the Anti-Japanese United Army is less than 200 people, so the enemy has only a little over 3000 at most!"

Nozoe Masanori's meaning was very clear. He had only 5000 men under his command, and they were going to fight against Yan Wang's 3000 men, who also had heavy weapons. It was obviously not enough. He was afraid that Umezu Mijiro would ask him to bear this heavy burden!

Meijin Mijiro opened his mouth expressionlessly, his tone was a little low,

"Everyone, I believe you all already know that food rationing will be implemented in the mainland starting this month!

Since the Tujia Line was cut off, the amount of food delivered to Manchuria has dropped by 30%. This time, the Jingtu Line was cut off again, and it dropped by another 30%, resulting in a lot of food being unable to be effectively and timely transported to the country. Therefore, our Kwantung Army has to bear a great responsibility for the domestic food rationing this time!"
