1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

Good fellow, after all, we are the big guys, can't we show some friendliness?

Your attitude of "I'm going to destroy these idiots" makes me very uneasy!

Under this stimulation, the northern warlords united early on. Not to mention that they had to destroy the "Northeast Army", but at least they had to buy enough time to prevent it from moving south easily again.

Well, for now, dealing with the CCP is just a side job. If Fujiwara no Kanezane is really defeated, then defending against the CCP will be much more important than defending against Fujiwara and Chiang.

This is what is called "primary contradiction and secondary contradiction".

Of course, this does not mean that the warlords have forgotten the "Rehe Fiasco" or the combat effectiveness of the 129th Division. However, who made Fujiwara no Kanezane so "arrogant" that he dared to go deep into the grassland with only 20000 people (most of whom were said to be new recruits)?

Most importantly, with just these 20,000 men, he actually dared to cause trouble for the CCP's Northward Anti-Japanese Corps and even threatened to engage in a decisive battle!

Do you think you are the God of War?!

CCP's Li Dezhenbu is also very strong, isn't it?

That was verified by Chairman Chiang's hundreds of thousands of troops!

Therefore, the warlords who had been formulating combat plans similar to the historical "Suiyuan Anti-Japanese War" and "Great Wall Anti-Japanese War" and looking for suitable opportunities to take action could no longer bear it after hearing that the Li-Teng talks broke down and the 129th Division and the Red Army started fighting.

Heavy casualties on both sides?

Good, good!

The mantis stalks the snake, unaware of the oriole behind!

If you miss such a good opportunity, your ancestors will never forgive you!

The 129th Division and the Red Army knew that this military exercise was a military exercise, but in the eyes of outsiders, there was no such thing as a "military exercise" at all. It was just a large-scale head-on decisive battle between the Tenglong Communist Party and the Communist Party!

Otherwise, where would all the gunfire and casualties come from?

Not to mention the KMT spies, even the nearby herdsmen said they heard deafening shouts of killing every day, and saw many people being carried out on stretchers or even wrapped in white cloth!

Therefore, several parties quickly agreed and made a rough plan:

Fu Zuoyi's 35th Army was the main force, attacking Ulanqab from Guisui, Liangcheng, and Chahar Right Wing Middle Banner to the west;

Yan Xishan's 33rd Army moved northward from Datong, Fengzhen, and Chahar Right Wing Rear Banner, and joined forces with Fu Zuoyi to attack Teng's army.

Song Zheyuan's 29th Army marched northward from Zhangjiakou and Zhangbei, cutting off the 129th Division's retreat route and blocking possible reinforcements from the Northeast.

Ji Qiong's army moved to Apartment A in Chang (he hasn't been exposed yet) and tried to stir up some trouble in Tianjin to attract the attention of the Northeast and the Japanese army, etc. etc.

Other small warlords such as Shang Zhen also had tasks such as waving flags and shouting slogans. Zhang Xueliang, who was trapped in Peiping, also had to concentrate on keeping an eye on Wu Kehua's troops, who were separated from him by a wall, to prevent them from causing chaos.

Of course, for confidentiality reasons, the full plan was known only to Fu, Yan, and Song, who were the main force and contributed the most. The others were simply following orders.

The reason why Fu Zuoyi's troops could serve as the main force was, on the one hand, because they were closest to Ulanqab, and on the other hand, because they had the most resolute anti-Japanese attitude, the greatest hostility towards Fujiwara no Kanezane, and were the most confident in doing such things.

Anti-Japanese!

From a big picture perspective, no one can find fault with it!

While the CCP and the puppet army are fighting fiercely, we will quietly move north without firing a shot!

Facing Chen Changjie's question, Fu Zuoyi shook his head:

"Brother Jieshan, be careful. No one else can be relied upon. We can only rely on ourselves.

Although he agreed to send troops to attack Fujiwara no Kanezane, Fu Zuoyi knew very well that Yan Xishan's mind was not that simple, so he still took precautions.

Otherwise, why didn't Fu Zuoyi send out the 35th Army in full force, but instead arranged for the 73rd Division, which he had built himself, to guard the southern area along the Guisui line?

Hum, the 129th Division must be annihilated, and the Red Army can be annihilated together. Then can Fu Zuo also be "accidentally injured" along the way?

But don't let yourself be used as cannon fodder!

A day later, the scouts reported back:

Although the specific conditions in the camp cannot be seen, there are indeed a lot of people wearing white coats.

The medical staff coming in and out were very lax in their security, not only were there no patrols outside,

They can even advance to a position of about one kilometer for reconnaissance!

It was found that there were thousands or even more grass

Looking at the deep pits and burial traces next to it, it is very likely that

Corpse!

ha?

When Fu Zuoyi received this news, his first reaction was still

letter.

The casualties were so heavy?

Impossible, right?

Is there any army in the world that can bear such heavy casualties and still not collapse?

Do not flee, do not mutiny, fight to the end, or even follow the commander all the way?

Could it be a strategy to lure the enemy?

Seeing that Fu Zuoyi was still hesitating, Chen Changjie and others could no longer hold back.

Got:

"Brother! What are you waiting for!"

"But.."

"Brother! We came from the west, and the people we encountered were not Communist bandits, but Fujiwara

Puppet army! What does this mean? It means the Communist bandits have been wiped out by Fujiwara!"

"To be able to wipe out bandit leader Li Desheng's bandit army, the Fujiwara puppet army must have suffered heavy casualties! This is proof right now! Big brother, if you hesitate and wait for them to recover, the chance to annihilate them will be gone! This opportunity cannot be missed!"

M

After repeated persuasion from Chen Changjie and other generals and staff, especially the phrase "What if Yan Xishan arrived in Ulanqab first?", Fu Zuoyi finally made up his mind:

"The 1st Cavalry Brigade and the 72nd Division will attack from the front. The 101st Division will retreat from the left flank, and the 103rd Division will encircle from the right! Order the artillery to fire the first round! Completely annihilate the remaining puppet troops within one day!"

"yes!!!"

As the order was given, the 35th Army's accompanying artillery opened fire collectively. The shells whizzed towards the camp with red flags flying in the distance, sending up columns of smoke into the sky.

Although few shots hit the target, the momentum was quite strong.

The first to charge was naturally the 1st Cavalry Brigade. As expected, there was no fierce resistance - there were only sporadic gunshots in the outer positions, which soon fell silent.

To be on the safe side, the vanguard cavalry checked the straw mats placed at the fence and indeed found the bodies inside. Seeing the chaos in the tents and the escapees farther away, they excitedly raised signal flags to the army in the rear.

After confirming that it was absolutely safe, Chen Changjie completely let go of his last bit of worry, excitedly drew his sword and shouted:

"Brothers! Kill the enemy and serve our country today! Charge!!!"

As a result, the 72nd Division quickly pressed forward, and about 6000 Jin Army soldiers followed the 1st Cavalry Brigade like a tide and poured into the large camp of the "Northeastern Army" built on the mountainside and beside the lake;

However, looking around, there was not a single valuable thing except a few corpses and a small amount of supplies.

"Go, go, go! They must have run to the back hill!"

Chen Changjie was still brave. Although he shouted "Charge!", he was actually still charging forward with his guards. Then he saw a cavalryman from the 72nd Division waving a flag wildly.

"Commander! Commander! We have captured an enemy flag!

"Bullshit! Is that a military flag?

Looking at the waving white flag, Chen Changjie was both angry and amused. He had originally thought it was just the work of some Northeastern puppet army that wanted to surrender, and was too lazy to pay attention to it, but suddenly he saw some black mixed in with the white, and was stunned:

"Spread out that white cloth and show it to me!

The cavalrymen eagerly unfurled the white flag and handed it over. Chen Changjie narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but read out loud:

"Sex...Poruisi. Mazel. Fake?

What the hell?

Before he could figure it out, dense gunfire and the whistling sound of artillery shells suddenly rang out from all directions, and then screams came one after another from the position of the First Cavalry Brigade in front.

not good!

Got fooled!!

Just as Chen Changjie was about to yell "Be careful", he saw a guard next to him had his skull blown open by a bullet, and white and red blood splattered all over him. He was so scared that he rolled off his horse and planned to walk back.

However, it was too late now.

The machine gun positions disguised as sand dunes lifted their camouflage nets and began to spit out flames. The Northeast Army's special snipers, who had been lying in ambush for a long time, called out the names of the enemy officers one by one, and commands continued to come from the walkie-talkies:

"Mortar Team 01, load 32-caliber shotgun shells, scale xx, direction xx, two per group, 10-second intervals, fire!"

"The infantry group pushes forward, the cavalry brigade begins to encircle and execute an iron wall encirclement!

"Nishi Takeichi, Kuribayashi Tadamichi, cut off their retreat!"

In this sudden and fierce long-range attack, the 72nd Division, which thought it was here to take advantage, collapsed in an instant after suffering casualties of more than 10% before even seeing the other troops of the 129th Division.

As for the 1st Cavalry Brigade charging in the front?

Even the horses are gone.

Fu Zuoyi in the rear realized that something was wrong the moment the 129th Division counterattacked.

How could such dense yet chaotic gunfire be produced by an army that suffered heavy casualties and low morale?

Since there were no heavy casualties, that means...

Although he always held an extremely firm and tough attitude of resistance to the Japanese, Fu Zuoyi was a man who knew what was happening. He did not think that his troops could defeat the fully equipped 129th Division, not to mention that they were now ambushed!

Seeing the chaos in the camp in the distance and the sound of gunfire getting closer and closer, the 101st and 103rd Divisions on the left and right wings also reported that there was an approaching enemy in front. Struggle appeared in Fu Zuoyi's eyes.

Although the 72nd Division is not my direct unit, the division commander Chen Changjie is my beloved relative, friend, and brother!

Ten seconds later...

"The entire army takes turns covering the retreat!

"Commander! The 72nd Division..."

"I said! Retreat!

"yes!

I'm sorry!

Brother Jieshan!

This is a necessary sacrifice for the greater good!

I believe in you! Hold on firmly, there will be a way!

Almost at the same time, in the south of Ulanqab, Yan Xishan's Jin Army also suffered.

When the Shanxi Army marched into the Huangqihai grassland, what awaited them was not the expected "Fujiwara puppet army with heavy casualties", but well-built and well-hidden field fortifications and a large number of ambushed Red Army soldiers.

Li Desheng hid the cannons that someone had donated through various channels in the reed marshes of Huangqihai. After most of the Jin army had passed by, he suddenly opened fire from the side. The first wave killed a small half of the Jin army's vanguard.

"This is a huge loss of life.

After the "Rehe defeat", Sun Dianying was forced to leave the Chifeng area with his troops. After many twists and turns, he finally chose to surrender to Yan Xishan and become a "semi-independent armed force". His hands were shaking as he held a telescope.

In his field of vision, at least two enemy regiments were counterattacking in a very strange yet beautiful inverted triangle skirmish line. Their high morale was so strong that it reached his head even from a few miles away.

He had never fought against the Chinese Communist Party, so he couldn't tell for the time being that this was the Red Army, but he could tell that this couldn't possibly be the legendary "Fujiwara puppet army with heavy casualties"!

At least there were no heavy casualties!

Oh shit!

It's no wonder Yan Laoxi, the greedy one, didn't let the elite troops of the Jin army rush to the front. He was probably prepared for this move!

Sun Dianying regretted it so much when he recalled what Yan Laoxi said to him, "I'll give you a good opportunity" and thought that the other party was trying to win people's hearts. But then his eyes turned and he had an idea.

A friend of the Dao dies rather than a poor Daoist!

Grandma’s!

Necessary sacrifice!

"Come here! Inform Liu Heiqi and the 66th Division! Tell them we've captured the remaining puppet troops, but they're resisting fiercely. Request them to attack northward quickly and cooperate with our army to cut off their retreat!"
