After conquering Bengbu, Jiang Feng left half of his troops to deal with the Japanese reinforcements, while the main force of the other six regiments quickly attacked northward, heading straight for Suzhou and Huaibei.
At the same time, three of Lu Wenlong's four regiments also separated and went south to attack Huaibei and join Jiang Feng's troops!
Soon the Japanese army realized something was wrong. They originally planned to severely attack the Chinese army in northern Jiangsu. However, when the fighting started in northern Jiangsu, northern Anhui and central Anhui turned into a pot of porridge.
Moreover, southern Shandong was not at peace either. The main forces from Li Guoyao's headquarters and the Sulu Theater Headquarters continued to attack Linyi and various places in northern Jiangsu, which put huge pressure on the Japanese army.
At this time, not only southern Shandong and northern Jiangsu, but also central and northern Anhui and other places are fighting, and the scale of the battle is still escalating!
Almost overnight, the battle broke away from the control of the Japanese army and developed in an uncontrollable direction!
Of course, the Japanese army is not afraid either!
After all, it¡¯s not just the North China Front that is worried right now. Central Anhui and northern Anhui are under the jurisdiction of the Chinese Expeditionary Forces Headquarters. If something goes wrong, it won¡¯t be Tada Shun and others¡¯ responsibility. They only need to fight Lu Just the battle between South and North Jiangsu will be enough.
But neither Tada Shun nor Yan Junliu in Nanjing City expected that the Chinese army would be so powerful. On the third day after Bengbu City was captured, Suzhou City was also captured, and more than 1,800 defenders were wiped out. , no one was spared.
Immediately after the main force of the National Army, nearly 20,000 regiments of seven regiments surrounded Huaibei. The 2nd Regiment of the 12th Brigade of the Imperial Association Army in Huaibei City suddenly defected and rebelled on the battlefield. Late at night, they attacked the South Gate position where the Japanese troops were stationed and opened the city gate. , to welcome the national army into the city, Huaibei City was broken.
Although the Japanese troops in the city were very tenacious and fought an extremely brutal street battle with the Nationalist army, because the number of troops was only a few thousand, while the Nationalist army was dozens of times their number, they finally held out for six hours. The Japanese troops in Huaibei City were also wiped out.
In four days, three important cities were captured from Bengbu all the way north!
At this time, the intention of the Chinese army was also obvious. The other party was obviously heading for Xuzhou City!
The General Headquarters of the China Expeditionary Forces was shocked, and the North China Front Army Headquarters was shocked!
Shocked, Yan Junroku and Tada Shun called the Japanese troops in Xuzhou City to immediately shrink their troops and abandon all surrounding counties to strengthen Xuzhou's defense.
At the same time, troops from Zaozhuang, Guide, Haizhou and other places were mobilized to reinforce Xuzhou!
But the speed of the Chinese army once again shocked the Japanese army. On the afternoon of March 24, the Chinese army on the South Route easily captured Xiao County and appeared outside Xuzhou City with 10 regiments of heavy troops.
On the northern front, Xie Baojun's six regiments also appeared outside Xuzhou City after taking over Taierzhuang, Pizhou, Jiawang and other places.
For a time, a large army gathered outside Xuzhou City, reaching more than 40,000 people!
With 40,000 troops besieging Xuzhou City, this is no longer a matter of pressure or not. You must know that in addition to Li Guoyao's troops with amazing combat effectiveness, the troops outside Xuzhou City also have an equally powerful guerrilla force.
Li Guoyao's Japanese army knew that that unit, like their commander, was a poisonous snake. If it didn't move, it would draw blood!
And this guerrilla force is equally frightening. From the fact that it took the opponent less than five days to reach Xuzhou from Bengbu City and captured many important towns along the way, it can be seen that this is a fighting force. Strong elite.
Now that these two elite troops have joined forces, the city of Xuzhou is in danger!
Although the Japanese army on the southern route had already captured Xinghua, Taizhou and other places at this time, Han Deqin's troops did not even have the courage to fight back. However, the advancing Japanese army at this time deeply felt that the lone army was too deep in strength, and the rear was on fire one after another. In desperation, After some discussions, the Japanese Army Dispatch Force Headquarters immediately decided to withdraw troops from all parts of northern Jiangsu.
On the morning of March 28, the Japanese troops withdrew after burning down the Xinghua County Government and various government agencies.
After the Japanese army withdrew, Han Deqin's troops returned to Xinghua. Then the 33rd Division of the 89th Army of the Korean Army cooperated with the guerrillas and followed the Japanese troops to attack, forcing the Japanese troops on the northern front to withdraw from Funing for a time. The national army pursued bravely and gained a lot. many.
The blocking and harassment by the national army caused certain casualties to the Japanese army and recovered some lost ground. However, Xinghua and other places were captured and burned by the Japanese army, which also had a great impact on the reputation of the national army.
Although the Japanese army opened the canal and the sea-connecting highway, the national army still controlled the vast areas on both sides and continued guerrilla warfare. It failed to achieve the strategic goals set before the war, and it was barely a draw.
What the Japanese army did not expect was that when the armyAfter the Japanese troops withdrew to Xuzhou from northern Jiangsu and other places, the originally aggressive Nationalist troops actually gave up on the precarious Xuzhou and withdrew their troops directly.
At the same time, the mysterious guerrilla force also took the initiative to withdraw from Suzhou, Huaibei, Xiao County and Bengbu City, and then disappeared among the vast mountains, as if it had never appeared.
Although these people disappeared without a trace, their impact on the Japanese army had just begun!
Affected by this, the China Expeditionary Forces Headquarters immediately ordered the secret service to immediately set up a special investigation team, and then, with the cooperation of Wang Ni Agent No. 76, make every effort to investigate this mysterious guerrilla group.
This battle started on March 15th and ended on March 31st, a total of 16 days.
The Japanese army successively mobilized one unit each of the 21st Division, the 15th Division, the independent mixed 39th Brigade, the 32nd Division, and the 3rd Division, and launched an all-out attack on the northern Jiangsu area. The result was half a month of fighting. However, they failed to achieve the expected goal. Instead, they were caught off guard by the Jiangnan guerrillas. They had to withdraw their troops at the critical moment, and their success was defeated!
This battle seems to be a bit of an anticlimax from both the North China Front and the base camp, which is a pity!
If it weren¡¯t for Li Guoyao¡¯s command and the mysterious guerrillas to intervene, it would be basically impossible for the national army in northern Jiangsu to hold up this time!
Despite this, the base camp did not reprimand the North China Front Army. After all, the responsibility for this matter did not lie with Shun Tada.
Also, although they failed to eliminate Han Deqin's troops in this battle, they successively captured more than a dozen counties, including Xinghua and Taizhou, which can be regarded as a considerable achievement. Therefore, the North China Front promoted propaganda to the other side. At that time, they still described this battle as a major victory.
As for the capture of Bengbu and other places, that is not something Tada Shun needs to consider, because the garrison there has nothing to do with the North China Front.
Fortunately, the base camp did not really rely on this victory of the North China Front to increase its bargaining chips. It was just the icing on the cake. Shortly after the end of this battle, the Soviet Union and Japan officially came to the negotiating table.
On April 12, 1941, the two sides reached an agreement and formally signed the "Neutrality Treaty" the next day.
The treaty has 4 articles in total and is valid for 5 years. The main contents are: Both parties promise to maintain peaceful and friendly relations between the two countries and respect each other's territorial integrity and inviolability; if one of the contracting parties becomes the object of war between one or more third parties, , the other side remained neutral throughout the conflict. and agreed not to sign an ancillary protocol regarding the transfer of rights in North Sakhalin Island for the time being.
On the same day of the signing, the two sides also issued a statement: "The Soviet Union pledges to respect the territorial integrity and inviolability of Manchukuo, and Japan pledges to respect the territorial integrity and inviolability of the Mongolian People's Republic."
This was obviously an unwarranted interference in China¡¯s internal affairs and a serious violation of the Sino-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact. Since then, the Soviet Union¡¯s aid to China has gradually decreased.
When the news came, there was an uproar!
Wang Chonghui, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China, issued a statement the day after the signing of the Japan-Soviet Treaty: The four northeastern provinces and Outer Mongolia are Chinese territory, and Manchukuo is illegal. The Chinese government will never recognize the Soviet-Japanese neutrality treaty, and the Chinese government and people will never recognize it. Any decision by a third country to impede China's territorial and administrative integrity is recognized, and the joint declaration issued by the Soviet Union and Japan is absolutely invalid against China.
¡°But a weak country has no diplomacy, so China¡¯s voice is naturally ignored by all countries!
Although Li Guoyao was also very angry about this, he knew that this matter was not necessarily a bad thing for China.
Indeed, the Soviet Union's aid to China has indeed been significantly reduced since then, but even if there is no peace between the Soviet Union and Japan, the Soviet-German war will break out soon. Being busy dealing with the Germans, the Soviet Union will not have the energy to give China more Attention, aid reduction is also inevitable.
More importantly, the signing of the Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Pact played a major role in affecting the development of the Second World War.
Especially for the Japanese army, after receiving the Soviet Union's commitment, Japan finally determined its strategy of going south, and began to prepare for the use of troops in Southeast Asian countries.
And after temporarily stabilizing the war situation in China, they began to withdraw their troops from the Japanese invaders including the Kwantung Army!
It can be said that it was precisely because of the peace between the Soviet Union and Japan that it gave Japan the courage to invade Southeast Asia and provoke the United States, and it also gave China the opportunity to defeat them!
