Chapter 352 The Battle of the Middle East Railway(1/2)
The Republic of China was indeed a very prosperous era, but its background was always humiliation.
Time passed as a group of people with lofty ideals sought a way out for the ancient civilization.
From the beginning of the Republic of China, to Yuan Datou's proclaimed emperor and his defeat, to Zhang Xun's restoration, Wang Yan did as he said, not participating in anything, nor expressing any opinions, and it had nothing to do with him.
If there is anything to do with it, it is probably because after Yuan Datou disappeared, his official position changed from 'Governor' to 'Governor', and the 'Governor's Office' was naturally changed to 'Governor's Office'.
Needless to say, Governor Wang does sound better than Governor Wang.
He lives in seclusion all day long, either going to the Northeastern Martial Arts Hall to teach people, or going to the school to give lectures on the country, family, and foreign devils to his subordinates, including his children and a group of senior military and political officials, so as to cultivate hawks for the next generation.
Patriotic talents.
There is nothing that can be done about it. The resources that these people's parents have are there. Even if they open up the path for the lower-level civilians to rise, the number of geniuses at the top is far less than imagined. And these children, even if they grow up and cannot reach the top, but
At the end of the day, they are all middle-level people in the military and political fields, they are the absolute backbone. The long-term is not what he should consider, because his power is destined to be destroyed, that is, it is a matter of this generation.
Apart from these, he mainly went to arsenals and various laboratories to speed up various research and development progress.
After years of development, by 17 years, his arsenal was fully equipped with an annual output of more than 60,000 rifles, more than 18,000 light machine guns of various types, more than 10,000 heavy machine guns of various types, and 6,000 cannons of various types.
Yu Men, other types of artillery shells, bullets are not counted.
This was the result of five years of hard work and countless money spent. Of course, if you want to do this, you also need talents. To put it bluntly, the most peaceful places today are Heilongjiang and Kyrgyzstan.
It is these two provinces where people see hope. Moreover, Wang Dujun treats talents very well, and the treatment he gives is very terrible. There are many talents. As the highest power center in the two provinces, the place where you can most intuitively feel Wang Dujun's governance ability also has many cultures.
People have traveled thousands of miles to see with their own eyes how capable Wang Dujun, who has always been the protagonist in the public opinion field, is, even though he has not spoken out. Many of them are even historical figures, so I won’t mention it too much.
With such a large number of talents, it is of course impossible to only study firearms. There has been progress in all other aspects, and the improvement in overall strength is very obvious. The implementation of various industrial manufacturing equipment has greatly increased the production speed of various products. Because of his
Production capacity is increasing year by year, and some goods are even unsalable in China.
The aircraft has not yet been built, but he has more than 40 fighters and bombers in total. Because pilot training is too difficult, many of them are still vacant.
The tank was not built yet, but the vehicle was built, and it was only in the beginning of 2017. The first truck was successfully built, but the failure rate was quite high, and it was very difficult to build... But the good thing is,
Made it by myself.
In fact, building a car is far from that difficult. What is difficult is to make it accurately and well. What is difficult is to make the equipment to build a car. They are all precision-made. A lot of things can go wrong. If you can build a car,
Even though it is broken, even though it is not very useful, it still represents a leap forward in industrial manufacturing capabilities under Wang Dujun's rule. In another three or two years, we will almost be able to produce a qualified car. Of course, the performance cannot be compared with the car of the foreign devils.
, as long as it can run, pull goods, and transport troops.
After these five years, the number of soldiers under his command has increased from 160,000 to 230,000. An increase of 70,000 in five years is definitely not comparable to the development in previous years. This is because
Twelve years have passed since the beginning of Lao Jingou. Many of the soldiers from that time have become old and can no longer fight. Wang Dujun is kind-hearted and will send some people away every year to let the bandits who have long since reformed return to live for a few years.
Good days.
If there is no large-scale explosion, it will be too late. Moreover, the population is limited, and the number of soldiers that can be carried is also limited. According to the census data from 2015, the entire Heilongjiang and Kyrgyzstan provinces have a population of more than 9.34 million.
Excluding the elderly, young children, and women, there are less than 2.5 million adult men between the ages of 18 and 40. This is because the King Governor came to power and worked hard in the past few years to attract many people. Comprehensive current situation
With certain industrial capabilities, population composition, resources, etc., the peak of the two provinces can bring together almost 500,000.
And if 500,000 soldiers are really deployed and the battle is over, these two provinces will basically be annihilated, so they still have to develop and develop.
At his peak, Lao Zhang only had this kind of troops, and he also controlled three provinces with a population of 20 million. Of course, Lao Zhang couldn't compare with him. Lao Zhang didn't have that much money, and it was difficult to raise troops, let alone lead them out to fight.
And the gold in his Lao Jingou has not been dug out yet. In addition, he prints his own currency and has a good financial system. The factory is rumbling every day, and he can make most of the daily necessities by himself. The semi-planned system guarantees
Prices in the two provinces are stable and there is plenty of money.
Although there has not been a huge explosion in the number of soldiers, the soldiers recruited are basically new recruits in their twenties. However, with the good tradition of the old leading the new, coupled with the increasing firepower equipment year by year, including the completion of the Northeast Martial Arts Hall in the past few years,
Under the leadership of some middle-level non-commissioned officers who have received advanced training and know tactics and strategies, the combat effectiveness is much stronger than the previous pure bandit army.
It is recognized throughout the Republic of China that Wang Dujun is the largest warlord, and he is also the most cultured and wise among these warlords. Apart from other things, Wang Dujun’s calligraphy works were accidentally seen by people who are skilled in this art.
Then it spread more and more widely. Although many people don't want to acknowledge the achievements of a bandit warlord, they have to say that calligraphy should be respected by Wang Dujun. Considering his special status, calligraphy works are priceless and rare.
Very good. Also true, the rewards he gave to his subordinates were all written with subtitles.
As for the development of his army, arsenal, business and people's livelihood, those who are interested have always paid attention to it. Everyone knows that Wang Dujun is strong, but to what extent no one has a clear understanding.
Even Wang Yan himself didn't know it, because except for the small friction at the border, the Northeastern Army had not fought for several years and had been training and training again. So in order to test the combat effectiveness of his troops, he took action.
In recent years, Lao Zhang has still built up the mountain as before, and his development has even been better than in history. His benefactor is of course Wang Dujun. When Yuan Datou was here, he was not worried, and Little Japan was not worried either.
One provides officials and policies, and the other sells weapons to help him improve the combat effectiveness of his troops. Lao Zhang is indeed dissatisfied. He does not want to unify the Northeast, but the powerful enemy in the north cannot sleep well with him, so he naturally takes advantage of the situation to grow stronger.
Originally, this was the year in history when Lao Zhang unified the military and political affairs of Feng Province and annexed Heilongjiang Province. Two years later, he formed a partnership with Little Japan to acquire Kyrgyzstan Province and became the complete king of the Northeast. Now, although Heilongjiang and Kyrgyzstan are two provinces,
He couldn't annex it, but he still managed to unify the province. He had about 130,000 troops. Although the equipment was not as sophisticated as Wang Yan's, it was pretty good. Some of it was sold by Wang Yan. But he wanted to be the king of the Northeast.
, then he was dreaming. So Wang Dujun took action. On the one hand, he wanted to shock Lao Zhang, who was getting more and more excited recently, and Little Japan, who was always doing little things.
On the one hand, there is another. He has long been concerned about the China Eastern Railway. Since the war with Russia in 2009 and the Manchuria confrontation, they have coexisted harmoniously in these years. In the center of his territory, he is allowed to
He has endured Lao Maozi and the small Japanese garrison for a long time.
In the original history, there was a controversial Middle East Road Incident. This battle was led by Xiao Zhang and ended in a huge defeat. Many people believe that it was this defeat that allowed Little Japan to see an opportunity and encouraged Little Japan to
The ambition of the internal hawks finally dared to send troops to fully invade the Northeast. If they win, if they win a big victory, little Japan will definitely launch an attack later. Even if it can fight, it will not dare to attack with only 50,000 people. Plus a
Without resistance, Xiao Zhang was completely beaten to death. But on the other hand, Lao Zhang was killed in the front and Zhongzhong Lu was behind, which shows that Xiao Japan is not that afraid, and it is hard to say what will happen.
Of course, the situation now is different from that then. The battle between Little Japan and Lao Maozi has not yet gotten over. I dare not say it to death, there is a high probability that there will not be an all-out war, and it has to be about the railway.
In the end, he was sold to Little Japan by Brother Su. Of course, this kind of thing was intolerable to Wang Yan.
Now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, because it is August 17, and Russia is no longer unstable internally. It is at the critical moment of changing the world. A series of influences in February and July have made the interior a mess. Dear Dava
When Li Shi came to the stage of history. So in this case, they had no time to care about the eastern border. If they didn't take action, they would be really sorry for the cowardice that Wang Dujun had suffered in the past few years.
Today, the 19th, in the morning.
In the war room on the east side of the third floor of the Military Council Office, there are two separated spaces, one large and one small. In the small space, there is a group of telegram transceivers ticking, quickly receiving and translating the messages passed from the front.
Information, there are still people sending information from the King Commander to the frontline combat troops.
Wang Yan has never taken the construction of information networks lightly. His radio equipment has spread to the regiment level, which is the benefit of having money. However, he will not directly command regiment-level units to fight. It would be too much and too tiring.
His instructions only go to the corps and division level, and he will not tell others how to fight. That is a matter for the leaders of the combat units to consider. What he grasps is the big strategy and what he wants is to achieve the set goals.
In the large space, there is a detailed map of the Northeast posted on an entire wall. At this moment, Wang Yan stood in front of the map with a cigarette in his mouth, listening to the report of his subordinates.
"Manzhouli, the Third, Sixth and Twelfth Divisions of the First Army have launched an attack."
"The Crane City Security Regiment just received a call and has taken control of the railway station and captured three hundred Russian soldiers."
"Ice City..."
"The Spring City railway section encountered strong resistance from the Japanese, but their garrison only had 500 troops. It is expected to be completely captured within half an hour."
"Hilalar..."
"Suifenhe..."
"Russian Vladivostok reinforcements have been dispatched, and the main enemy force has been identified on the front line..."
"A large number of Russian troops on the northern border have dispatched to the south, and have been exchanging fire with the 1st, 3rd, and 4th divisions of the Fourth Army in the Heijiang... area..."
"At the border of Feng Province, Zhang Zuolin's Northeastern Army has made unusual movements, and its direction is unknown."
"A call came from the capital. The president asked the capital army why they started the war without any reason."
Wang Yan calmly listened to the reports from his subordinates, his eyes moving back and forth on the map following the reports, and he was judging the situation and direction of the entire war in his mind.
"Order the 1st and 2nd Divisions of the 5th Army to go south and garrison on the Kyrgyzstan border. The 3rd and 4th Divisions will be transferred to the Yalu River. The 6th, 7th and 11th Divisions of the 3rd Army will reinforce Suifenhe. All three divisions of the 2nd Army will move northward.
Go to the Tongjiang area. Order twenty fighter planes to escort the bombers to Manchuria to support air strikes. Move the Seventh Artillery Regiment..."
His army consists of five corps, one corps and four divisions, and the remaining three divisions are mobilized independently. Although they have more than a dozen numbers, they are just numbers.
After issuing a series of orders, Wang Yan said calmly: "Call the President back and get out of here."
The order clerk suppressed his smile, tried to salute, turned around and hurriedly ran to the partition to deliver the order. Sitting on one side, a group of people from the war department also shrugged their shoulders.
You can't blame Governor Wang for this. In fact, the president knew what he was asking. The people in power now are Zhili, and the president is the great-great-grandfather of a famous cross talk actor who has been famous for many years in future generations. Then I have marked you.
Is it reasonable for you to come here and question me? Don’t you know what the relationship between us is? You want to explain to me? Anyone with a discerning eye can see that he started a war with Lao Maozi just for the railway, and he still questions? He just has other strategic purposes. He can
Tell me? You just talk nonsense.
This time he was determined to take back the railway and drive Lao Maozi out of his territory. He also wanted to go further and take back Vladivostok in the east and the area adjacent to Kyrgyzstan, all the way to Beihai.
The main battlefield is divided into three lines: east, west and north. The east line is Suifenhe and Vladivostok, the north line is Heijiang and Songhua River, and the west line is Manzhouli and Hailar. The small battlefields are the station sections along the railway, and
All the various mines that were invaded were successfully captured without any decent resistance. Over the years, the situation of the Russian Far East garrison has been known for a long time. There are only more than 100,000 troops. And due to the situation, they have no reinforcements.
From a macro perspective, this time's war on the Middle East Road is not much different from the original incident on the Middle East Road. Because Lao Maozi's soldiers were in those places, and it was his Northeastern Army who took the initiative to attack, the battlefield was naturally nearby.
At present, the Northeastern Army under his command has the advantage, even if it is more than one. Not to mention the large number of people, the tactics are also there. Artillery fire saturation strikes, infantry penetration in depth, guerrillas, occasional encounters, and head-to-head confrontations.
.And the most important thing is that Lao Maozi has no reinforcements, no logistical supplies, and he is fighting in his own home base. With the superior force and similar equipment, there is really no reason why he can't defeat him. It's just about the number of casualties and the length of time.
In addition to the 60,000 people deployed at the junction of Jifeng and Fengcheng to guard against Lao Zhang and Little Japan, and the 10,000 people stationed in Bingcheng, the remaining 160,000 people were all put into battle. The battle must be successful. It was not that he was dragging the boss, but
Lao Zhang's strength is just that, and the training intensity of soldiers in the two aspects is completely different. Not to mention 130,000, even 250,000 is not enough. The main reason is that he has insufficient hands, and he can easily include Chunshi.
The railway belonging to Little Japan in Kyrgyzstan Province has been snatched back. The Kwantung Army is currently not dispatched. It is probably holding a small meeting. No one knows whether there will be a war later.
To be continued...
