Chapter 1272: The Great War!

"It is obvious that the Japanese army suddenly attacked Rehe, which was planned for a long time. The Eastern Anti-Japanese side had reminded this before, but we didn't take it seriously. We thought it was just a vain and unreasonable conjecture. But now their speculation has been confirmed. The Japanese's insidious and cunning and capriciousness taught us a lesson, that is, don't trust others easily and don't place hope on others. I was wrong. I'm sorry for the 30 million Northeastern elders. I personally pushed them under the iron hoof of the Japanese invaders..."

Zhang Hanqing was crying and had not yet received the fair ruling of the League of Nations, but he had waited for the news that the Japanese army had launched a large-scale attack on Rehe. How could he feel?

"Master, we can't continue like this. We have to fight back. If Rehe falls into the hands of the Japanese invaders, Beijing, Tianjin and North China will be in danger!" Wang Yizhe stood up and said loudly.

"Yes, we want to fight back and send troops to reinforce Rehe immediately!"

"Master, we can no longer disappoint the elders of Rehe..."

"Reinforcements must be sent. As for how to send and who to send, this needs to be considered!" Supervisor Zhang Zuoxiang said slowly.

"At present, the most important thing for us is to figure out the purpose of the Japanese attack this time, as well as the forces and attack routes sent by the other side!" said Rong Zhen, the chief of staff of the Northeast Army!

"The enemy situation is still unclear. If you rashly reinforce, will you fall into the trap of the Japanese?"

"What trap? We fight on our own territory. Do we still have to look at the Japanese's expression?" Wang Yizhe asked angrily.

"Builder Wang, don't be excited. Now it's just a discussion, not a decision!"

"Master. I ask to lead the Seventh Brigade to reinforce Rehe!" Wang Yizhe asked for battle. The September 18th Incident. The Seventh Brigade was known as the Imperial Guard of the Northeast Army. He retreated without fighting, which became his greatest shame since he joined the army.

What made him even more ashamed was that many generals in the East Anti-Japanese War today came from his Seventh Brigade, but he was not happy at all, because these subordinates were all unknown people when they were under his command, and some were even fired for internal strife.

Whenever these scars are exposed, Wang Yizhe feels like he is suffering in purgatory. He wants to fight with the Japanese army so much that he proves that he is not a escaping general who is afraid of death!

"this……"

"Please give Wang Yizhe a chance to avenge his previous shame!" Wang Yizhe's eyes turned red. The 7th Brigade must not be looked down upon by others!

"Supervisor, what do you think?"

"Brave Commander Wang is determined to fight, and his spirit is commendable, but the security of Peking is equally important. If the Japanese army invades the Great Wall, what should we do? Who will replace your defense zone?" Zhang Zuoxiang said.

"My defense zone is in Gubeikou, which is far away from Japan. You can transfer troops from Hebei or Chahar to the station..."

"Chief of Staff Rong, Deputy Chief of Staff Zang. What about your opinions?"

"I think it is feasible. At the same time, Huang Xiansheng's Second Cavalry Division can be allowed to come out of seclusion and support Brigade Commander Wang's actions!" Rong Zhen said.

"I think Wan Fulin's new Fourth Army has to be added. The Japanese army is coming in full force, and Tang Yulin's 36th Division alone cannot stop it!" said Tibetan Yi!

"Okay, then Wang Yizhe's 7th Brigade left Gubeikou and went north to help Chengde. Most of the newly formed Fourth Army of Wan Fulin and Huang Xiansheng's Second Cavalry Division left Cold Exit to support Pingquan and Lingyuan's front line. He ordered Tang Gechen to be sure to stay in Lingyuan for three days. After three days, reinforcements arrived!" Zhang Hanqing decided, "If Chengde is in a loss, he doesn't have to come back!"

"yes!"

The Kwantung Army's sudden war invasion of Reha not only surprised the Chinese people, but also the international community. Soon, the Japanese zf's act of arbitrary and undeclared war was unanimously condemned by the international community!

The telegram of condemnation and questioning came like snowflakes. Japanese Foreign Minister Hirota Hirota faced so many criticisms and pressure, you can imagine that he had the heart to eat Muto Nobuyoshi raw!

The sudden and large-scale attack of the Kanto Army also shocked the Japanese cabinet. Faced with the surging anti-war sentiment in the country, Prime Minister Saito was already exhausted from coping with it. Coupled with international pressure, Japan's economy may be even worse!

Emperor Hirohito asked the cabinet and the Army Department one after another, why did the Kwantung Army suddenly start a war while the cabinet and the Army Department do not know about it in advance?

Sadao Lu Xiang Araki was called by the Emperor and scolded him for being so bloody. He knew that his Lu Xiang was probably going to be over!

Damn Muto Nobuyoshi, you dare to make such a big bet for the fate of a marshal. If you win, it would be fine. If you lose, you will be implicated by you!

"Mom Xipi, the Japanese are so bastards!" When Jiang got up early in the morning, he received such a telegram and almost threw the milk prepared by his wife for him!

"Principal, the Japanese are so anxious that they are red from their eyes. The resolution passed by the League of Nations Conference is extremely unfavorable to them. If the resolution is followed, they will have to withdraw troops from the Northeast. This is probably something that Japan cannot accept!" Deng Wenyi analyzed.

"If they don't want to leave, are we willing to let them stay?" Lao Jiang said angrily.

"According to my judgment, the Japanese army suddenly attacked Rehe this time, probably had two intentions!" Deng Wenyi said.

"Oh, tell me!"

"First, the location of the Rehe land is important for ten minutes. As long as the Rehe is in our hands, if the Japanese army wants to take the pass, they will be cautious, so they are determined to win the Rehe. Second, they are to test our reactions with the international community. If we firmly resist, then they may stop at the Rehe. If our resistance is slightly weak, the Japanese army will likely cross the Great Wall and attack North China!"

"The Japanese don't have that big appetite, right?"

"Japan's ambition for China has long been obvious, but their strength is not enough to swallow us in one bite, so they chose this method of erosion. Principal, we must strengthen the military strength of North China. Once the Japanese army crosses the Great Wall, our troops north of the Yellow River will find it difficult to resist the Japanese army's steel army!"

"Well, Xuebing, what you said makes sense. Let me think about it carefully!" Old Jiang waved his hand.

"Yes, principal!" Deng Wenyi nodded. He knew the principal's thoughts. He was determined to destroy the Communist bandits. He was not enthusiastic about the anti-Japanese war.

Although Chiang Kai-shek was not enthusiastic about the fight against Japan, the Peking side soon received an order from Chiang Kai-shek, ordering Zhang and He to work together to resist the Japanese army's occupation of Rehe.

On the same day, Zhang and He joined forces to launch a combat plan to "defend Rehe" in Peking. On the basis of the original reinforcements, the 41st Army stationed in Shanxi, stationed in Shanxi, was dispatched to assist Chifeng, and the 29th Army stationed in Zhangjiakou, headed to Lengkou to fill the defense gap left by the newly formed Fourth Army heading north to aid Rehe!

The commander of the Japanese Kwantung Army also issued a Rehe combat statement in Changchun. The statement stated that Rehe was part of the territory of the puppet Manchukuo. According to the order of Emperor Hirohito on June 16 of the same year, the Kwantung Army had the task of protecting the puppet Manchukuo.

Moreover, Japan is ready to recognize the puppet Manchukuo, and according to the "Japanese-Manchukuo Protocol", so Japan and the puppet Manchukuo became an inseparable one.

The Kwantung Army has the right and obligation to ensure the national integrity of Manchuria, so this just war is to regain the occupied Manchuria territory!

As soon as this statement came out, the world was in an uproar!

It's shameless, I've never seen such shamelessness. Japan made it clear when it was in the League of Nations that it would not recognize Manchukuo for the time being. But this statement made a big turn of 180 degrees, and even the orders of the Japanese Emperor were brought out!

Also, Japan has secretly admitted that Manchukuo has not been made public before? Is this another secret agreement that is as inauspicious as the "Twenty-Eighteen Articles"?

"Haga, where did Muto-kun do this to place His Majesty the Emperor?" Japanese Prime Minister Misato was so angry that he cursed.

Emperor Hirohito's face turned pale when he received this news. Even if you want to find a reason to support your Atako combat plan, there is no need to move me out, right?

This is a naked hostage and kidnapping!

Of course, anyone with a little bit of military knowledge knows that Muto Nobuyoshi did this to boost the morale of the soldiers. At this time, putting forward the emperor's order will inevitably arouse the soldiers' belief in winning the battle for the emperor. This powerful belief is difficult to achieve in other ways.

Scolding is useless, just like fighting alone, with the fist swinged out, and the opponent was slightly injured, and he wanted to take back his fist, saying, "It was just a joke just now, we won't hit you." Is this possible?

In this way, the Japanese Empire is afraid that it will become an international joke again!

The only thing that can be done now is to fight with one's teeth. Both the Japanese government and the opposition were kidnapped by Muto Nobuyoshi and the Kanto Army!

More importantly, there are too many militants in the Japanese army. The sixth and eighth divisions that have just been transferred to rotate, why are they so willing to obey Muto's Nobuyi's command and launched a war in such a short time?

This is a very telling problem. The commanders of these two divisions are probably pretending to be confused because they understand it?

"Yaoxi, Commander Muto knows so much that we are here for China!" Motegi, the commander of the 4th Brigade, stroked his beard and looked at the fierce battle ahead, and couldn't help but say proudly.

"Report to the brigade commander and discover the Chinese army's vanguard?"

"Oh, we're finally here, where is it?" Mogi Kennosuke showed a surprise expression.

"Here, there is probably a platoon of people. Major Ando asks for instructions, should they be eliminated?" said the correspondent.

"No, no, keep them, don't let them discover it. I want to give the Chinese a big surprise!" A ray of light flashed in Kennosuke Mogi's eyes!

"Hayi!"

"Come on, call Colonel Nagayama, the leader of the 25th Regiment!" Mogi Kennosuke ordered.

"Hayi!"

Kailu was besieged by the Japanese army, and forced Tie Meng to cancel the original plan to lead Gong Changhai to lead the 101st Cavalry Division to meet the material convoy. The 101st Cavalry Division went north to rescue Kailu!

In addition to the 101st Cavalry Division, there is also a cavalry battalion of Song Dabiao led by Gao Wenbin. This cavalry battalion has been organized into the reconnaissance battalion directly under the First Brigade of the Rehe Squadron!

Since the troops defending Kailu were also under Gao Wenbin, and Gao Wenbin's ability and wisdom in overcoming Chifeng was very impressed by Tie Meng, he sent Gong Changhai and Gao Wenbin to partner and lead the army to support Kailu!

"Chief of Staff, you are resourceful, I will listen to you along the way!" Gong Changhai looked careless, but in fact he was very meticulous. He knew his strengths and weaknesses, so he gave up command from the beginning.

"Teacher Gong is so serious, the commander said, you are the commander-in-chief of reinforcements, I am here to be your staff!" Gao Wenbin said humbly.

"Hey, the Chief of Staff is the military advisor. If you don't listen to the military advisor, you will suffer any loss, but you will still listen to you!" Gong Changhai said.

"Team Commander Gong, the Fourth Japanese Cavalry Brigade is a strange army to us. What is their commander's personality and past experience? We are all blinded and we can say that we don't know anything!"

"Aren't you providing us with a piece of information?" Gong Changhai asked in confusion.

"Yes, the headquarters did provide us with a piece of information. The information says that Kennosuke Mogi is familiar with our military strategy and highly respects Zhuge Wuhou of the Three Kingdoms, but none of us have seen this person before, and the specific situation is very clear, so we must treat it with caution!" Gao Wenbin reminded.

"What the Chief of Staff said is, but now Kailu is besieged by the Japanese army, we must rush to help immediately. Once the Japanese army breaks Kailu, then we will be in great trouble!"

"How many Japanese troops?"

"According to the Kailu defenders' reports, there are at least four or five thousand people!"

"Where are us?"

"Including the Lu Guards, there are only more than 4,000 people in total!" Gong Changhai calculated in his heart.

"So, even if we join the Kailu defenders now, our troops will be almost as strong as those of the Japanese army. In this way, we will be evenly matched at most. Commander Gong should not forget that we are cavalry, what are the cavalry best at?"

"Of course it's a field battle!"

"Yes, the Fourth Cavalry Brigade is also a cavalry. The Japanese army used it to attack Kailu City. Don't you think the Japanese are that stupid?"

"Of course the Japanese are not stupid. The Chief of Staff means that the Japanese attack on Kailu is just a feint, and the target is us?" Gong Changhai exclaimed.

"I hope our guess is not true, otherwise we will be in trouble!" Gao Wenbin said worriedly, "We are quite unaware of the enemy situation now, and of course the enemy is the same, so it depends on who has the clever means!"

Dongkang Headquarters.

"How is the situation in Kailu?"

"It can still support it. Although the Japanese army had fierce offensives, there were no siege equipment and no heavy artillery were found."

"The Japanese army had a premeditated attack this time, but the preparations were rushing. It is estimated that some things were sacrificed in order to seek the speed of the attack. The heavy attack equipment may not have been kept up. According to my judgment, the focus of the Japanese attack is Chifeng and Lingyuan. Lingyuan is the defense zone of the Tang army, and we cannot manage it even if we want to. Chifeng is now in the hands of our army, and the safety of Chifeng must be guaranteed. As long as Chifeng is in my hands, even if the Japanese army captures Lingyuan and Pingquan, they will not dare to attack Chengde with all their strength!" Qin Shiyu said.

"Well, Lao Qin is right. We must ensure the safety of Kailu and Chifeng. This is the first priority right now!" Lu Shan nodded.

"General Lu, Beiping Telegram, the Northeast Army has responded quickly and sent reinforcements to the pass to rescue Rehe. It includes General Huang Xiansheng's Second Cavalry Division, General Wan Fulin's newly formed Fourth Army, General Wang Yizhe's Seventh Brigade, and Sun Dianying's troops of the 41st Army!"

"Well, there are a lot of people, and there are a total of 50,000 or 60,000 people!" Lu Shan nodded, "Are these people fighting on their own or commanding in a unified manner?"
