Chapter 86
Yang Jingyu's preparation for a large-scale battle has been completed. When he was still in the planning stage, he had already reported this idea to the central government, and the reply he received was beyond his expectations. The Central Military Commission did not evaluate or modify his plan itself, but only encouraged him to achieve good results and encourage him to achieve his own strategic concept. It also stated that the central government will not interfere in the local area of each military region, nor will the military commander make the determination to fight. The Northeast Bureau's headquarters should rely on the help of the S1 Far East District Government, and decide on the start and end of the battle if it is considered appropriate. During this period, it is necessary to coordinate with S1 and reach an agreement with anti-Japanese aggressionism in the grand strategy.
Yang Jingyu, who received this message, was both happy and puzzled. He was happy that the central government took the initiative to delegate power and did not interfere with the combat command of the Northeast Bureau. He was puzzled that he did not know whether this was a special treatment made by the Central Government due to the special circumstances of the Northeast Bureau (cooperation with the Soviet side). It seemed to be to resolve his doubts. The Central Committee called again the next day to explain that this decision was treated equally and treated the same way for all military central regions. He also gave examples of the Eighth Route Army's attack on the Zhengtai Road (later carried out into a hundred regiment war) and was also fully formulated by Peng Dh and Zuo Q, and the Military Commission did not intervene.
In addition to the more than 3,000 soldiers who were still in training, Yang Jingyu used almost 6 ooo soldiers who were fully equipped with the Soviet Union's active weapons. In addition to field artillery and mountain artillery, they were equipped with light artillery fire such as mortars and rocket launchers, and the light machine guns reached the level of one per squad. The light weapons were equipped with the latest Soviet Tokarev automatic reloading rifles and a small number of Mosin-Nagan rifles. In addition, there were nearly 2,000 submachine guns that Ma Qian'an had worked hard to grind. Such advanced armament even the Soviet commanders who were close to the garrison were coveted.
Ivanov's attack on the Confrontation League also attached great importance to it and reported this situation to Shi Daling.
Shi Daling knew a little about the previous battles of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces. He was not optimistic about this miscellaneous armed force. He heard that the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces were preparing to fight back to Northeast China, and he was silent for a while. If this battle could really be solved as quickly as Yang Jingyu said, and he could secretly withdraw the Japanese brigade (11oo people) and not let the RBs catch the handle of S1 supporting the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, but if the war is broken and cannot be withdrawn and the evidence is bitten by the RBs, he will be very passive in diplomacy. Is it necessary to fight another battle like Zhanggufeng or Nomenkan with the RBs? He is still unable to make up his mind yet.
However, this attack from the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces is also another opportunity to test the combat effectiveness of the RB Kwantung Army. You can also test the performance of the Soviet army's latest standard equipment in actual combat. It is an excellent practical test site. Third, you can directly observe whether the quality of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces is as unbearable as the information says, or otherwise, see if they are powerful tools that can be used in the future.
The consequences caused by the battle were unpredictable, and this was exactly where Shi Daling was unable to make up his mind. It was the first time that he had encountered such a small armed armed force in the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces.
As a clear-headed leader, Shi Daling knew that the Japanese army's combat effectiveness was not as low as that of its own propaganda. The data of the Nomenhan battles could illustrate all this. In this battle, the two sides used equal forces, but the Soviet army won because of the huge number of technical weapons, and the aircraft, tanks and armored vehicles deployed were always twice that of the Japanese army. It took more than three months to win the victory after more than three months. More than 25,000 casualties on our side and nearly 50,000 casualties on our side. Just as the officers and soldiers died, there were 9,000 Soviet troops and 18,000 Japanese troops. With the advantage of weapons, our side did not achieve one-sided massacre victory against the Japanese army. Propaganda was propaganda, and Shi Daling did not believe this.
In terms of military quality, both sides were not on the same level. The Soviet army drew some of the most elite garrisons in Europe, from Southern Europe, the Caucasus and Belarus to draw two tank divisions, and one mechanized artillery division was sent to the Nomenkan front. In addition, there were three aviation divisions and four mechanized anti-aircraft artillery regiments. The Japanese main 23rd Division was just a new recruit division that had only been established for a year. Most of the soldiers were soldiers in one year or two years. There were very few veterans and were sent to Manchuria after only a short training. In terms of individual soldiers' strength, of course, they were not as good as those of their own veterans who could fight.
Moreover, Shi Daling also noticed that in order to make up for the shortcomings of technical weapons, the Japanese army often incited soldiers to charge death. The desperate people tied up all over the body or held a moor bottle caused a lot of damage to their own gasoline-motivated tanks and armored vehicles such as t-26, t-28, etc. This Eastern method of "braveness" also made Shi Daling unable to underestimate them.
While contemplating, Shi Daling entrusted Dimitrov, chairman of the Executive Committee of the Communist League, to let him touch the bottom of the Communist Party and see what Mao ZD's attitude was. The information he received in the end was also extremely interesting. The party expressed his opinion that he would not interfere with the specific actions of local military anti-Japanese war, but expressed his gratitude for being able to cooperate with S1 and help the S1 party in providing the anti-Japanese alliance.
After Shi Daling thought about it, Japan and Russia finally had the upper hand in their thinking of a century-long grudge. In the Far East, there was only one winner, that is, the great S1, RB, the local dog, must be defeated.
In addition to this thinking, a proposal from Foreign Minister Matsugang Yoyuki also made Shi Daling angry. The agreement mentioned that it was required that S1 give up the northern part of Sakhalin Island, and RB would compensate S1 for certain fees and fishing rights. If agreed, RB would sign a non-aggression treaty with the Soviet Union to ensure peace forever. This is the smoke emitted by the new cabinet of RB's new cabinet to test S1's attitude. How could Shi Daling not know? It would be fine if it was something else, but the arrogant RB proposed to North Sakhalin Island (Sakhalin Island, at this time, according to the Portsmouth Treaty signed after the Russo-Japanese War in 19O5, Russia occupied the northern half and Japan occupied the southern half), which reminded him of the territory lost in the Russo-Japanese War, and his anger suddenly rose.
The Zhanggufeng battle that had been fought for 38 years and the Nomenkan battle that had been fought for 39 years were all first provoked by the "Manchukuo" army controlled by Japan, and then the Japanese attacked unscrupulously. The RB people can be unreasonable, so I can do it too, isn't it just an agent war? So what if you take the initiative? By the way, you can explore the bottom line of the RB government, and you can also explore the attitudes of countries around the world to see where they are standing.
