News of the great victory at Fengtian spread throughout China like the wind.
However, the first one to get the news was the National Army Headquarters in Chongqing. Because the Headquarters had direct intelligence sources within the Chahar Independent Regiment, the six cavalry battalions of the Independent Regiment had just completed the first attack on the Japanese military camp outside the city. In an instant, Xiang Yingxin, a field reporter accompanying the army, sent the news back to Luojiawan No. 16.
Of course, Xiang Yingxin’s move had Xu Rui’s consent.
After receiving the telegram from Xiang Yingxin, Director Dai did not dare to neglect and immediately drove to the headquarters in person. Chairman Chiang and several close aides happened to be at the headquarters at that time.
After listening to Director Dai's report, Chairman Chiang and several close aides were instantly shocked.
The entire combat hall instantly became dead silent, and everyone held their breath.
After a long while, Chairman Jiang finally came to his senses and asked in disbelief: "Yunong, you just said that the Chahar Independent Regiment won a great victory in Fengtian and defeated the Seventh Army in one fell swoop?"
"Yes!" Dai Li took a deep breath and nodded heavily, "The Chahar Independent Regiment defeated the Seventh Army!"
Then the entire combat hall fell into dead silence again, and Chairman Chiang and several close aides were once again deeply stimulated, because even Bai Chongxi, although he expected that the Seventh Army's move to capture the hostages had already been buried. Knowing the hidden danger, he also expected that the Chahar Independent Regiment might turn defeat into victory, but he never expected that the Chahar Independent Regiment could turn defeat into victory so quickly and defeat the Seventh Army in one fell swoop.
According to Bai Chongxi's deduction, the final result of the Northeast War should be like this: the Seventh Army could not capture Fengtian for a long time, and civil resistance surged in the three northeastern provinces, seriously threatening the local rule of the Japanese and puppet troops, and also seriously threatening the Seventh Army. As a last resort, the Seventh Army had no choice but to withdraw from the siege and retreat to Xinjing.
In other words, according to Bai Chongxi's prediction, the most ideal result of the Chahar Independent Regiment could only be to regain Liaodong Province. As for defeating the Seventh Army, he had never thought about it. How could it be possible? Xu Rui only has the Chahar Independent Regiment in his hands. No matter how many tricks he makes, how can he possibly close the huge gap in strength and weapons between the Chinese and Japanese armies
But now, Xu Rui has really made the impossible possible, and actually defeated the Seventh Army!
"Oh my God!" At this time, He Yingqin finally came to his senses, let out a long sigh of relief, and then continued, "How on earth was this battle fought?"
Chen Cheng also said: "Yeah, how did this battle happen? Anyway, I really can't imagine it. Xu Rui only has one regiment, and the number of troops is at an absolute disadvantage. Needless to say, the armored force and the aviation force, the gap is even bigger! Under such conditions, the Chahar Independent Regiment is lucky enough to be able to defend Fengtian, but can it actually defeat the Seventh Army?"
"Yeah, I didn't expect it, I never expected it." Bai Chongxi also said, "I thought that the Chahar Independent Regiment could defend Fengtian and even force the Seventh Army to return without success, but I never thought that it could be defeated The Seventh Army! I originally thought I had overestimated Xu Rui’s ability, but I never expected that I ended up underestimating it!”
After a pause, Bai Chongxi said in sincere admiration: "Xu Rui's use of troops is really amazing, amazing!"
It can be seen that Bai Chongxi, a senior general of the national army known as Zhuge Liang, has been completely impressed by Xu Rui.
Bai Chongxi kept praising Xu Rui's ability, but Chairman Jiang's face became darker and darker. And every time Bai Chongxi praised Xu Rui's ability, Chairman Jiang's face became even more ugly. In the end, he was so gloomy that he could scrape off frost. Come on, this is understandable. No matter what, Xu Rui is a warrior on the Communist Party's side after all! The stronger his ability, the greater the threat to the party-state in the future!
Seeing Chairman Jiang's expression so ugly, Chen Cheng woke up from a dream and said quickly: "However, even if the Chahar Independent Regiment defeated the Seventh Army, it does not mean that the Seventh Army can be completely annihilated!" If the Seventh Army cannot be completely annihilated and the hundreds of thousands of defeated soldiers of the Seventh Army are allowed to escape back to Xinjing or Lushun, they will be able to form several divisions in the blink of an eye!"
"Yes, yes." He Yingqin quickly followed Chen Cheng's tone and said, "In other words, the Japanese military strength in the three eastern provinces has not been fundamentally weakened, and although Xu Rui's Chahar Independent Regiment defeated Fengtian We will fight, but we must have paid a heavy price, so next, we will only control the area around Fengtian at best."
Chen Cheng added: "If we go further, we will only control most of Liaodong Province and will not be able to achieve success."
"Have you said enough?!" Chen Cheng and He Yingqin didn't blush at all, but Chairman Jiang blushed and immediately said angrily, "If you can't make it happen, how about you show it to me? I don't want it either. You won a great victory at Fengtian, let alone defeating a Japanese army group. I will be satisfied as long as you defeat a Japanese division! Can you do that?"
Chen Cheng and He Yingqin immediately lowered their heads and defeated a Japanese division? Aren't you making things difficult for us
After training Chen Cheng and He Yingqin, Chairman Chiang turned to Bai Chongxi and said: "Jian Sheng, in the name of the headquarters, immediately send a commendation message to the Chahar Independent Regiment to congratulate them on their aggressive offensive in the three eastern provinces and their unprecedented victory. It greatly increased the morale and determination of the soldiers and civilians across the country to resist the war, and in addition, a reward of three thousand legal currency was given."
"Okay, I'll do my humble job now." Bai Chongxi turned and left.
Chairman Chiang said to Dai Li again: "Yunong, come with me."
After finishing speaking, Chairman Jiang took Boss Dai into the secret room next door. The two of them talked in the secret room for a long time, and they didn’t know what they said. Anyway, when Boss Dai finally came out of the secret room, his face was full of tears. He looked embarrassed, as if Chairman Chiang had given him a completely impossible task.
…
In Tokyo, the Japanese base camp.
The staff meeting was already halfway through, and the dozens of senior staff members present at the meeting had basically all spoken. Their views were basically the same, and they all believed that the situation in Manchuria was already very bad.
Only a major general staff officer named Ayabe Tachibana had the opposite opinion.
After all his colleagues had spoken, Ayabe Tachibana said: "Your Highness, gentlemen, the situation in Manchukuo is indeed not optimistic, but it is not so bad that it is irreversible!"
"So Dega." Xianyuan Gong Zairen said, "Tell me what you think."
"Hai!" Ayabe Tachibana paused and said, "First of all, after the Fengtian Battle, Xu Rui's Chahar Independent Regiment has also suffered unprecedented heavy losses. This can be seen from the final counterattack, because only those who participated in the counterattack The opponent has a small amount of cavalry but no infantry. This is not because of the high mobility of the cavalry, but because the Chahar Independent Regiment can no longer send even one infantry to pursue the Seventh Army!"
"That makes sense." Xianyuan Gong Zairen nodded happily, "Go on."
Ayabe Tachibana added: "That is to say, at least at this stage, we do not need to consider the threat of the Chahar Independent Regiment. Now Xu Rui can at best send a small number of veterans into the rebel Manchukuo Army and civilian armed forces to serve as Grassroots officers, but this is not enough to fundamentally improve the combat effectiveness of the Manchukuo Army and civilian armed forces."
Koiso Kuniaki couldn't help but said: "Ayabe-kun, did you make a mistake?"
"Oh, really?" Ayabe Tachibana smiled slightly and said, "Please make it clear, Your Excellency, the Deputy Minister."
Koiso Kuniaki said: "The problem now is that Manchukuo's military strength is already very empty. The rebellious Manchukuo army and civilian armed forces can sweep most of Manchukuo without increasing their combat effectiveness. However, the imperial army has not responded to this. There is nothing we can do, and today’s staff meeting is also about solving this problem.”
Ayabe Tachibana said: "Hoshi's point of view is not inconsistent with the views of His Excellency the Deputy Minister. Hoshi did not say that the predicament of Manchuria can be solved with the existing strength of Manchukuo. What Hoshi wants to explain is that Manchuria's predicament can be solved." Although the situation is very dangerous, it will not deteriorate out of control in a short period of time."
After a pause, Ayabe Tachibana added: "Because the rebellious Manchukuo army and civilian armed forces cannot achieve great improvement in a short period of time, even if they sweep the entire Manchukuo, once a heavy military group returns, By aiding Manchuria, we can easily put it out and put an end to the chaos in Manchukuo again.”
Koiso Kuniaki said: "The question is, where will the heavy military group come from to support us now?"
"This is not something that should be considered in the humble position. After all, the humble position is just a small combat staff officer in the combat department." Ayabe Tachibana shrugged and said, "But what I want to remind His Highness and the Deputy Minister is that the remaining The time for the imperial army to quell the chaos in Manchukuo is running out, at most half a month, and once the wounded from the Chahar Independent Regiment have recovered and been discharged from the hospital, there will be no chance!"
"Nani, a wounded member of the Chahar Independent Regiment?" Kanin Gong Zairen and Koiso Kuniaki suddenly changed their expressions upon hearing this.
"Hai!" Ayabe Tachibana said after a pause, "During the Battle of Fengtian, because the Chahar Independent Regiment controlled the battlefield most of the time, most of their wounded were rescued. Even if it is a conservative estimate, the number of these wounded people is tens of thousands! It may even exceed 20,000!"
After a pause, Ayabe Tachibana continued: "If there are only a few hundred veterans who have joined the rebel Manchukuo army and civilian armed forces, it will not be a big problem, but if there are tens of thousands or even 20,000 experienced soldiers If veterans of the war join the rebel Manchukuo army and civilian armed forces, the problem will become very serious!"
Koiso Kuniaki said solemnly: "By then, the combat effectiveness of Manchukuo's resistance forces will be significantly improved!"
Hanyuan Gong Jieji also said: "What's even more terrifying is that this is a huge army with a total strength of more than 100,000, and the number is still expanding rapidly!"
