Chapter 198 The Heavenly Army Enters Tibet (Including All Counterattacks)
The Battle of Jinzhou proceeded smoothly, and the People's Army first suppressed and destroyed the heavy artillery clusters with superiority and the superior air force. (Small ^ said ^ Collection ~ Reading Network) The Japanese army suffered great losses from the beginning of the battle, from the airport to the artillery positions, from fortifications to personnel.
Because Jinzhou had considerable accumulation before the battle began, and the good traffic capacity of the Beijing-Jinjin section of the railway, this Jinzhou battle that only took two months to prepare for the night, fought the night in a short time. Results.
The frontline troops of the Japanese nearly two divisions were surrounded by four main divisions that crossed the line following the heavy armored brigade, and nearly 100,000 old Northeast Army regiments that launched an attack from the front.
After chasing for a while, the heavy armored brigade also had a lot of problems, so it was ordered to return to participate in the encirclement of the Japanese army.
As a result, with the help of this heavily armored brigade, the besieged Japanese army was once again treated badly. The Japanese army of more than 50,000 men in two divisions was repeatedly interspersed with infantry troops by the heavy armored brigade. As a result, the two divisions were cut into tofu pieces and divided into many portions.
Facing the encirclement of hundreds of thousands of squadrons, the Japanese army in small groups started to surrender.
After all, compared with the battlefield of Tianjin and Beijing and the early stage of the Jinzhou campaign, the Japanese army who was not afraid of death had a little less war intention.
Because in the early days of the Jinzhou campaign after the September 18th event and the early days of the Tianjin-Beijing campaign, the Japanese army despised the squadron from top to bottom and held a winning mentality towards the squadron. In this case, people easily broke out Top combat effectiveness. Because at this time, even if the battle is dead, you can get victory.
However, the battle was different until the second Jinzhou battle.
First, the 100,000 Japanese troops in the Tianjin-Beijing battle were annihilated, then Jinzhou was not captured for more than a year, and then they were covered by firepower launched by large-scale artillery groups. Although the Japanese on these lines of defense did not necessarily suffer heavy losses, some even had shelling. None of them suffered. After all, they were not in the main breakthrough stage of the People's Army. However, the sky of failure fell from the sky, covering everyone.
If you die, you can exchange for victory. Then, maybe you grit your teeth and think of Japanese cherry blossoms, the emperor and his parents, wife and children, the Japanese army can also launch an onboard charge.
However, if death cannot be exchanged for victory, it can only be the result of Yu Sui, then this task of Yu Sui may have to be handed over to some officers, and not all ordinary soldiers are determined to fight to death.
During the three-day siege period, the Japanese army ran out of food and water, and drank the water in the tunnel to survive. At first, they could persist, but when they were too hungry and hungry, they found that something had fallen from the sky.
"On the third day, when everyone, including the squadron leader, was so hungry that their sights were blurred, the Chinese dropped planes, water and Japanese letters on planes. From that moment, we can no longer restrain the troops."
This is a diary written by a Japanese prisoner of war in a prisoner of war camp. It was also on the third day that the Air Force of the People's Army dropped tens of thousands of pieces of paper for surrender, letting these people lay down their weapons for a surprise attack.
After all, they are occupying long trenches and tunnels. The People ’s Army does not want to dig moles and trenches to clear up these debris, but also wants these devils to taste the feeling of being forced into despair. So, while casting a letter of surrender, It also gave them hope-rice balls.
"In order to set an example for the Japanese troops in the northeast battlefield and to let the Japanese lay down their dirty heads, Major General Chen Jun and I agreed that we should persuade the Japanese troops. Coincidentally, this application to temporarily change the battle plan came to the army Ministry, actually received the personal approval of Chairman Zhang ... "
Zhang Xueliang said this when facing the news media as commander in chief of the Northeast Theater.
Next, the People's Army made a rapid advance and smashed the Japanese army from Jinzhou to Shenyang.
Although Shenyang is not the place where the soldiers of the past must fight, but in the eyes of the Japanese, it is more important than anything.
Nothing else, just open the map and see. Shenyang is located in the south of the whole Northeast. The original geographical location is not too surprising, but it is only about 170 kilometers away from North Korea. As a major town between the northeast and the north, the squadron can shelve the rest of the northeast, and choose a large army to penetrate the border between China and North Korea, completely cut off the rear path of the Japanese army, and bring the entire Japanese army in the northeast into Langzhong to pack up slowly. This is why, when the Japanese army invaded the Northeast, they had to win Shenyang anyway.
Due to Shenyang ’s important strategic position, the dying Japanese army continued to deploy troops from various parts of the Northeast, such as Changchun, Harbin, and Dalian to support Shenyang. It also landed four divisions from the North Korean emergency deployment, including The military strength, the entire Shenyang theater, gathered the huge strength of nine Japanese divisions, nearly 200,000 Japanese troops, is already Japan's shortest time to mobilize the night to the Shenyang theater, the largest force.
Regarding the development of the war, Zhang Shusheng was quite clear. He knew that it was not that the Japanese did not want to mobilize more troops. The Japanese are now far less powerful than they were during World War II after the frantic preparations. In the early 1930s, the main divisions of the Japanese army were divided into two categories, the horse-drawn divisions and the horse-drawn divisions. However, they added some first-class divisions and second-class divisions to the 17 standing divisions. The strength of the entire Japanese army in 1933 was just over thirty divisions.
On the Chinese battlefield, since the September 18th Incident, losses have been particularly heavy in the Jinzhou and Beijing-Tianjin battlefields, including the loss of soldiers by the sinking transport ship. The total loss has exceeded the eighth division and is basically the most elite. That group of divisions, nearly 200,000 elite Japanese troops. On this basis, minus Taiwan ’s Japanese army, North Korea ’s standing Japanese army, and local troops, the Japanese army will not be able to mobilize troops from China. Gathering nearly 200,000 elite Japanese troops and preparing for a crucial battle with China on the fate of the Northeast is already the last effort that Japan can make. If this battle is successful, China will lose its strength and opportunity to recover the Northeast in the short term. If it fails, the Japanese army will lose to the end.
Therefore, from the beginning, Shenyang was destined to stage a second battle between China and Japan, and it was also a hasty battle. Both sides estimated that there would be an army of six or seven million people in the Shenyang theater.
After the battle for Shenyang entered the period of both sides' storage, the Northeast temporarily quieted down, while the Japanese army shrank from various parts of the Northeast to major cities, while forcing the construction of arsenals in various parts of the Northeast, and using factories on Chinese land to produce killing weapons, while attacking Japanese expatriates Conduct assault training and prepare to fire weapons in case of unexpected events.
Northeast quieted the night for a while.
When there was no war in the Northeast, the whole country was red in August 1933.
The 40 million people who were full of energy burst out with unprecedented enthusiasm for construction. They survived the heavy oppression of the three mountains, partially repelled the Japanese aggression, and then looked forward to the founding of New China. At this time, they were the most enthusiastic and most diligent laborers. As long as the government organizes and guides them, they can take the initiative to actively invest in infrastructure projects throughout New China.
Nationwide, the most intensive road traffic, water conservancy projects, and other infrastructure construction and some resource-based factories, mines, and oil and gas fields are initially constructed.
In this way, the government not only provides a huge opportunity for the peasants who have gone bankrupt or is about to go bankrupt to relieve their eyebrows, but also lays the groundwork for the next big economic construction.
The factory is not built in a day, not to mention that tens of thousands of factories can be built with one finger. The systematic industrial layout and regional economic planning need to be strictly implemented step by step from the central government to the local government, so as to ensure that the vigorous economic construction of New China will not go astray and will not change from a large construction to a great leap forward. Starting from the basic industry chain, we can find a balance point in terms of regional demand, regional advantages, and resource supply. For example, in areas with rich mineral resources, in addition to improving transportation, more auxiliary industries such as chemical plants and mines need to be built. According to the characteristics of resource-intensive industries, unified layout planning is required. Wherever the geographical location is extremely advantageous, such as the southeast coast and the Guangxi coast, some new mid- to high-level production and processing enterprises and high-tech industries will be densely arranged. In addition, the construction of some economic circles will also be on the agenda, and the educational and scientific research industry supporting for this will also keep up.
In the preliminary planning, the Bohai Rim Economic Circle with Beijing-Tianjin-Tangshan as its core, the Yangtze River Delta economic circle with Han-Hu-Ning-Hang as its core (Hanjing and other three places), and the Pearl River Delta Economic Circle with Guangmin, Hong Kong and Macao as its core, The western economic circle with Cheng Yiyu as its core. The four economic circles will play the role of four economic and industrial hercules in the near future, picking up the entire New China economy.
Cheng Yiyu in the four major economic circles will receive special emphasis on construction. Depending on the planned estuary of Myanmar, the entire Cheng Yiyu economic circle seems to have the most geographical location, but actually has the entire southwest, northwest, and even central China and Backed by parts of the north, in the future, Myanmar ’s estuary will be opened, and the China-Myanmar-Dalian Railway, which serves as a major artery to the sea, will have advantages no less than the southeast coast, especially in terms of trade with Europe.
When Zhang Shusheng made this decision, he took into account some of the "learning lessons" of later generations. The economic planning was unreasonable, and he prematurely requested that a small number of areas drive the majority of backward areas to become rich. The result is that the affluent place is getting rich, and the region that should be driven to become affluent has become a province where migrant workers have exported, and they have not enjoyed much of the fruits of economic construction. Cold eyes. Therefore, in the case of occupying various advantages, there are huge administrative advantages, and as a result, the gap between the east and the west is getting wider. The so-called East is catching up with Europe and America, but the Midwest is being overtaken by Asia, Africa and Latin America.
Of course, he also knew that as a backward economy, the advantages of transportation and geographical location were extremely huge in the early stages of economic development. However, unlike New China, the demand for foreign trade is not particularly large for the time being. The coastal layout has paid enough attention to the future development potential, while at the same time studying Soviet Russia in part, focusing on the path of internal economic construction and laying a solid foundation. Only in the era of high-speed global trade can there be something that can hold hands.
Moreover, in Zhang Shusheng's plan, Myanmar will be a place that must be won. The short-term demand of New China is simple, that is, a route to the Indian Ocean. Only this route has been opened. After the comprehensive industrialization is basically completed, Only new China can confront the US and European economic giants in all directions. At that time, the eastern and western regions each have their own advantages. Only when the industrial layout and the educational and scientific research layout are relatively balanced, the economic development momentum that integrates the strength of the whole China with the eastern and western regions can continue.
In addition to the flaming national infrastructure and the Jinzhou Great Victory, the big march that New China is still going on is in two directions in the west.
At this time, the troops in Xinjiang did not even go out in Gansu. Not to mention the time spent in Shaanxi will be night. Gansu alone is an 1800 km east-west corridor. Some local illegal ethnic armed forces will be deterred and seized along the way. The marching speed can be imagined.
In this way, the troops entering Tibet have received widespread attention from the Chinese people. A private newspaper in the southwest, the "Hua Xia Express", is known for sticking to the standpoint of the Han nationality. This time, it used an oversized headline to cover the entry into Tibet: "Tian The army into Tibet "
The marching route of the troops entering Tibet is along the northern route of the Sichuan-Tibet line of the Tea-horse Road. Although this road is equally difficult, it is the best way to enter Tibet from Sichuan. Due to the bumper harvest in the tea-producing areas of Sichuan in Ya'an and other places, since the establishment of the tea system in the Song Dynasty, merchants have carried tea, cloth, salt, and ceramic utensils along small mountains or cut out roads or cut out cliff gaps. On the small road, people went into and out of Tibet from generation to generation, brought goods, and exchanged them for horses and other things in high demand in the southwest hilly region. This route is called the Sichuan-Tibet 'Great Road'. Via Ya'an, Yingjing, Hanyuan, Luding, Kangding, then pass through Daofu, Luhuo, Ganzi, Dege, and cross the Jinsha River into Tibet.
Starting from Ya'an, the Zhuge Health Ministry will march along Ya'an-Kangding-Qamdo-Nyingchi-Lhasa in accordance with the established route.
Due to a few days of rain in the middle, the marching speed of the troops was greatly affected. It was almost over in early August, and it only went to the Tibetan area of ​​northern Sichuan. It has not yet entered real Tibet.
At this time it was evening, but a dark dragon on the mountainside lit up a headless dragon. The Tibetans on the hills in the distance looked at it, and they were scared that the monsters had come out to find food, and they hid. At home, the portal is closed and children are not allowed to look around curiously.
This long dragon was the troops entering Tibet in the evening.
Between the troop's march, Zhuge Sheng and Tie Sangan stopped with a guard from the army in a stone hole cut in a cliff. The security guard Zhang Luo was burning water to make tea, Zhu Gesheng was watching the march outside the cave, and Tie Sangan was chatting with several Tibetan guides.
The previous road was slightly better, but once it passed the boundary of Litang, the terrain became extremely difficult to walk. Just like the road under the foot, it was basically a road cut out from the cliff half-waist. Two The soldiers seemed a little crowded to pass side by side.
Zhuge Sheng looked at the troops passing by the cave. The secret road is much more difficult than the Shu Road. If the Shu Road is as difficult as the sky, this tea horse road is as difficult as coming down from the sky.
"Report to the captain, the water is boiling."
Hearing the guard's shout, Zhu Gesheng patted the dust on his body and turned around. He took the pot of Pu'er tea from the guard, and then made a few small cups of tea by himself. The oldest old man among several Tibetan guides.
"Master Danba, this road is really difficult for you. You worked hard, please drink tea. This is the authentic Pu'er tea I brought from Yunnan, hehe."
Father Danba is a Tibetan celebrity in Litang. Although the entire Litang county is not as large as some towns and villages in Sichuan, there are many Tibetans. This Danba father used to be familiar with the ancient tea and horse road in his early years. He speaks Mandarin and is very open-minded. Although he is almost sixty years old, he was still in business for two years. He just took off the burden and became the head of a local Tibetan village. After the large army passed Litang County, they packed up two local Tibetans who oppressed the Tibetans, rescued the civilians detained, and after dividing the field, Father Danba realized that the new government rumored before was indeed correct and took the initiative Non-discrimination does not suppress ethnic minorities, but also respects the customs and habits of ethnic minorities. The army entered Litang and was able to achieve no crime in the autumn.
The old man was used to Sichuan and Tibet, knowing that this is an accomplished army that can bring real happiness to the Han and Tibetans, so he took the initiative to take the initiative and took the team running a business in the village as a guide. They can all speak some Chinese, they can communicate basically, they are familiar with the road, and they can help the army to eliminate many troubles in communicating with the Tibetans. In comparison, it is much stronger than the few Tibetan guides that the army had invited.
However, the old man is an ordinary person after all. Seeing that it is impossible to live on a weekday, the masters of Bayi who rely on rifles to try to resist the Heavenly Army are defeated by the general with the army's effort, and he has a kind of Humility. Not to mention that when he saw the strength of the entire army entering Tibet and the mighty force of the army, he took more care in his heart to guide the army with the general mentality of serving the heavenly army.
He is different from the two masters of Bayi. He knows that such an army cannot be opposed by ambitions. On the contrary, a strong disciplined army can bring true peace to the Han and Tibetans.
Seeing that Zhuge Sheng, the general who entered Tibet, himself poured tea for himself, Father Danba's waist was almost bent to the end, and the two Tibetans around him also bent over.
Zhugesheng waved his hand and personally helped Father Danba to sit back on the folding stool. "Master, our army is not an army of any ethnic group, we are the entire Chinese army, the entire Han ethnic army, so you do n’t have to be afraid, the people ’s army is of course for How can the people be the masters of the people, like the old social army, to oppress the people? "
"General Zhuge has the legacy of his predecessors. He is a world famous and a world famous." Although Danba listened to Zhu Gesheng's words, he felt very comfortable and admired them, but he was still careful in words. "This iron pot works very well. It boils water fast and hot enough, good tea, good tea."
Father Danba dipped a bite of tea and smelled the fragrance of Pu'er tea. Although he had transported this tea many times, he never drank it. This was the first time. What he refers to as a good iron pot is a gasoline pressure cooker.
Zhuge Sheng laughed without saying a word, raised a glass of tea, and drank it himself.
Along the way, the troops entering Tibet did abide by discipline and did not commit any crime against the Tibetan people. Occasionally, they would try to explain them when they encountered some misunderstandings. Of course, this does not mean that the army will be weak. On the contrary, in the event of resistance or obstruction, Zhuge Sheng will always order it to be destroyed in secret. Of course, the liberation of serfs must be done when the local tyrants are divided into land and land. Although Litang is located in Sichuan, it is close to the Tibetan area. It is mainly a gathering of Tibetans and has been affected by many Tibetan serfdom.
In order to win over these Tibetans who have a greater effect on the people's army, Zhugesheng specifically ordered to bring some practical goods that are useful to the Tibetans, and even modern products in the southwest, such as cheaper pressure cookers and matches. Father Danba's villager got several good pots, including pressure cookers and aluminum pots.
"General General rest assured that after this picket mountain is a large open mountain, very suitable for the Heavenly Army to spend the night." Father Danba was a bit nervous, although he had seen Zhuge Sheng several times before, but he is not used to it now.
"Finally, I passed this mountain in no surprise, thanks to your guidance, Master." The original Tea Horse Road was on the other side of the mountain. It was broken and impassable. . Speaking of which, the closer it is to the Tibetan area, the harder the march. Starting from Litang, the first engineering units were busy opening up mountain roads for the troops to pass.
"Master, how much do you know about Batang?"
I remembered that there were many questions about Batang in this place, and Zhugesheng could not help asking.
Batang is no better than Litang. This is the junction of Sichuan and Tibet. It is better than Tibet when it is not in Tibet. It is the hardest hit by many illegal elements. They use Batang as a gateway to Tibet and see some people who are not seen. Banner, always watch out and suppress Han-ren.
"Batang, the general must be more careful."
Father Danba was silent for a long time, and finally said this.
Zhugesheng nodded, and he could foresee some of the situation in Batang. After all, it was mentioned in the intelligence that the news of the army entering Tibet was leaked. After all, an army of tens of thousands of people was heading for Tibet, regardless of some ulterior motives Even the British, they will not line up at the Sichuan-Tibet border to welcome ~ EbookFREE.me ~ not to offer Hada.
While drinking Puer tea subconsciously, thinking about countermeasures.
"The old man said that the situation in Batang may be a little complicated."
Father Danba heard the news and saw that the general also knew something about it, and he couldn't help but be surprised. As a frequent traveler between Sichuan and Tibet, he naturally knew that some Tibetan nobles and British people ran between Tibetan and Han ethnic groups. From his standpoint of running a business for many years, any confrontation between the two ethnic groups is only beneficial to those nobles, and it is all harmful to civilians. Can't help but said, "The general must be more careful not to let someone with ulterior motives hurt the heavenly army."
"Master Danba's kindness, Zhuge understands, rest assured, neither the British nor some people can violate the majesty of the Heavenly Army." But Zhugesheng secretly said in his heart, was he worried about the British or Tibetans? Instead of jeopardizing the army, people are thinking about how to deter and stun them in case of an emergency.
As for the honest father-in-law Danba, although he knows tens of thousands of troops, everyone with a gun is difficult to invade, and his own heart is Chen Chen's abnormal awe, but he cannot know that when facing any rebellion or disorder As soon as the Heavenly Army became angry, what kind of severe punishment would be given to those young people.
