After taking Dunhua, Lu Zhanwu immediately dispatched his elite troops to attack everywhere, focusing on the mines and forest farms controlled by the Japanese and puppet troops. At the same time, he also launched attacks on tribal groups where the Japanese gathered.
In just a few days, most of the forest farms and mines in Dunhua were taken down by the eastward column, and a large number of prisoners of war and laborers were rescued.
For these people, Lu Zhanwu did not refuse anyone who came, and incorporated them all into his unit.
The already extremely large eastward column expanded to 100,000 men in a very short period of time. The speed of troop expansion was staggering.
Of course, the number of soldiers has increased, but the weapons and equipment are very lacking. Therefore, Lu Zhanwu can only ask for help from the headquarters, hoping that he will not be able to solve some of the weapons and equipment for them.
Li Guoyao naturally has no objection to this.
After the capture of Dunhua, Lu Zhanwu sent those soldiers whose bodies had been tortured by the Japanese and puppet troops into secret camps in the mountains for training, and led the remaining troops with good physical strength to continue to launch attacks on Huadian, Panshi, Haihekou and other places where the Japanese troops were stationed.
The successive actions of Lu Zhanwu's headquarters quickly caused panic in southern Manchuria. Telegrams from Japanese and puppet troops from various places asking for help flew like snowflakes to the Kwantung Army headquarters in Fengtian.
General Yamada Yisan was also stunned by the sudden war. Before the situation on the Western Front stabilized, the backyard caught fire. This was a big trouble.
After some discussion between General Yamada Otsuzo and Lieutenant General Yukio Kasahara, they finally decided to transfer the 75th Division on the Harbin front line to immediately go south to recapture Dunhua.
At the same time, General Yamada Otsuzo, who realized that the situation in Manchuria was getting out of control, had to mobilize troops from the border area of ????North Manchuria and transferred the first part of the 19th Army stationed in North Korea to the Tonghua line.
At the same time, the Kwantung Army Headquarters quickly formed new troops in accordance with the established plan.
At the end of March alone, the Kwantung Army established 4 new divisions, 3 brigades and other special forces units in a short period of time, including the 107th Division, 108th Division, 111th Division, and 112th Division. , 1st Mobile Brigade, Fujin Garrison, 14th Border Guards, 2nd Guerrilla Force (this guerrilla force has many branches and is composed of Han and Mongolian personnel, and most of them are controlled by officers who graduated from the Army's Nakano Special Agent School) .
In addition, the Kwantung Army Headquarters decided after deliberation to form the 119th Division with the backbone of the 8th Border Guard Corps in Hailar and the remaining personnel of the 23rd Division that was originally stationed in Hailar and has been transferred to Luzon Island in the northern Philippines. The time is scheduled to be next month.
In addition to infantry, the Kwantung Army Headquarters also organized a large number of artillery forces, forming the 13th and 14th Independent Field Artillery Battalions, the 23rd Independent Heavy Mortar Battalion, the 17th Mortar Battalion, and the 17th, 18th, and 21st Independent Rapid-Fire Artillery Battalions. , 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 29, 30, 31, 32 Squadron and so on.
There are also flying units. Originally, the Kwantung Army's aviation unit was still very strong, because their opponent has always been the Soviet Red Army.
However, as the war situation of the Southern Army continued to deteriorate, the Japanese Second Air Force in the Northeast was eventually ordered to transfer various flying divisions, flying wings, and flying teams to the Pacific battlefield. Now the strength of the aviation force is quite weak.
Not long ago, the Japanese base camp was confirmed. The aviation force of the Kwantung Army will generally maintain its current status and will be strengthened in case of emergency.
It was also determined that the relatively stable environment and numerous airports in the Kwantung Army garrison would be used as a base to train new pilots and improve the combat skills of pilots.
At this time, Japan was being attacked by large fleets of US military aircraft day and night. It was difficult to train new pilots normally, so some training institutions were gradually moved to the Northeast.
Therefore, on March 8, the Kwantung Army newly established the 101st Educational Flying Regiment, which has the following 8 educational flying squadrons.
The above educational flight team is to train new pilots in basic combat skills after completing the driving skills. It is conducted on advanced trainer aircraft and "Type 97" fighter jets. The training time is usually 4 months.
The trained flying team is a modified combat type, training combat subjects and preparing to replenish the troops. The training time is also 4 months.
In addition, the Kwantung Army Headquarters has also planned to establish the 1st Independent Flying Team, the 25th Independent Flying Fighter Squadron, and the 41st Light Bombing Squadron.
In addition, the Kwantung Army also decided to establish 13 airfield brigades, the 28th and 50th aviation base headquarters, the 11th aviation intelligence wing, and 7 air-to-air radio communication teams.
The base camp also decided to transfer the 104th Fighter Squadron from Japan to station in Fengtian in an attempt to resist the US military's bombing of the 20th Air Force in Anshan, Shenyang, Benxi, Dalian and other places.
The Kwantung Army Headquarters has already noticed the dangerous atmosphere at this time. Different from the past, the dangerous atmosphere comes from the Soviet Red Army. The current enemy??Obviously not the Soviet Union, but the Chinese army.
Unlike the Anti-Japanese Alliance and Volunteer Army more than ten years ago, the Chinese army now appearing in Northeast China is more tightly organized, more powerful, and capable of fighting large-scale offensive and annihilation battles.
In addition, the opponent has always been in the dark, while the Kwantung Army is in the open, so it is passive everywhere.
This is similar to the state of the Imperial Japanese Army when the war broke out in Showa 12. The Chinese army has the responsibility of defending the territory, so it can only be beaten passively.
On the contrary, the Imperial Japanese Army went on a rampage, hitting wherever they wanted, and achieved unprecedented results in a short period of time.
It¡¯s true that the tides are turning, thirty years from Hedong to Hexi for thirty years!
What makes the Kwantung Army headquarters even more frightened is that in addition to this mysterious armed force, from southern Manchuria to northern Manchuria, rebels who had disappeared have sprung up one after another.
In a very short period of time, the secret service controlled more than two hundred anti-Japanese troops. These troops were distributed throughout Manchuria and were present in almost every county.
The number of these anti-Japanese troops may be tens of thousands, while the number may be only a few dozen.
Large-scale troops attacked strongholds, or ambushed the imperial army's transport convoys, while those who were not strong continued to attack the gathering points of expatriates, or used trains to blow up bridges.
So that the whole of Manchuria is now surrounded by war smoke and the sound of gunfire everywhere.
The Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army more than ten years ago did not have real regular troops. Although their numbers were larger than the last, there were actually very few truly organized troops.
However, it is different now. Regular troops are everywhere, and their weapons and equipment are not bad at all.
Under such circumstances, the Kwantung Army Headquarters was really in dire straits and was in a very bad situation.
¡°In addition, I don¡¯t know if they are supporting the rebel forces in Manchuria. The Soviet Red Army in the border areas is ready to move during this time, and regiment-level combat troops are constantly gathering in the border areas.
A few days ago, news came back from the Soviet Union that made the Kwantung Army headquarters very uneasy. The Soviet Red Army had decided to hold a large-scale exercise in the border area next month.
At this time, the Kwantung Army headquarters was unable to determine whether the Soviets were actually conducting an exercise or sending troops to Manchuria in the name of an exercise. Two years ago, the Kwantung Army would not have been worried that the Soviets would take the initiative to launch an attack on the Empire of Japan, but now it is not sure. .
Because the news coming back from Europe was all bad news, ally Germany suffered successive defeats at the beginning of this year. First, in the Battle of Novgorod, the German Army Group North commanded by Marshal Walter Model suffered heavy losses.
After more than a month of fierce fighting, the German army was annihilated three entire divisions and severely damaged 23 divisions. At the same time, the Soviet army advanced 220 to 280 kilometers westward, completely eliminating the German threat to Leningrad.
Then in the Ukrainian campaign on the right bank, the German Marshal Manstein's "Army Group South" also suffered heavy losses. In this battle, the German army concentrated 96 divisions with 1.2 million people, 16,800 artillery pieces, 2,200 tanks and self-propelled artillery, and 1,460 aircraft. shelf.
In order to completely annihilate the German army group on the southern flank of the battlefield and liberate the entire Ukrainian area on the west bank of the Dnieper River, the Soviet army concentrated on the 1st and 2nd Ukrainian Fronts commanded by Marshal Zhukov and the 3rd and 4th Ukrainian Fronts commanded by Marshal Vasilevsky. The total strength is more than 2.6 million, including 28,654 artillery pieces, 2,015 tanks, and 2,600 combat aircraft. The strength is twice that of the German army, with 1.8 times more artillery, 1.6 times more aviation, and twice as many tanks and self-propelled artillery.
This assault annihilated 10 German divisions and 1 brigade, severely damaged 56 divisions, and liberated the entire Ukraine on the west bank of the Dnieper River. The war has begun to shift to the German mainland.
At present, the Soviet Union and Germany are competing for Crimea. This is the 4th Ukrainian Front commanded by General Tolbukhin and the independent coastal group commanded by General Yereomenko. With the cooperation of the Black Sea Fleet and the Azov Sea Fleet, Offensive campaign to liberate Crimea.
Although in Odessa and Sevastopol, the German army deployed 21 divisions of the German 17th Army commanded by General Eneke and 700 aircraft of 2 air groups, and in addition the German army had more than 100 warships in the Black Sea, But judging from the current situation, the situation of the German army is very bad.
Under such circumstances, the Soviet Union has completely driven the Germans out of their territory, and the next war will push into Germany. At this time, the Soviets are fully capable of opening up new battlefields on the Eastern Front to cooperate with the Allies. other military operations.
