In the first battle of Qiqihar, the Japanese army was defeated.made the commander of the Kwantung Army, Yamada Otozo, angry, in Yamada Otozo's opinion, the Eighth Route Army was a group of defeated generals, and now he was defeated by his own defeated generals, which is simply a great shame.Yamada Otozo, who felt disgraced, was naturally unwilling to give up.So Yamada Otozo immediately began to draw troops and prepare to counterattack Qiqihar, which was a shame.Because the fierce battle between Germany and the Soviet Union was raging at this time, Yamada Otozo expected that Soviet Russia at this time would have no time to look eastward and would not be able to launch an attack on Japan, and would fall into the dilemma of fighting on two fronts.Therefore, the troops of the 57th Division, the 71st Division, the 123rd Division, and the 124th Division were transferred from the border to attack Qiqihar.Among them, the 57th Division and the 71st Division, in cooperation with the Miyamoto Brigade, assembled on the Anda front line in an attempt to attack Qiqihar from the east.The 123rd and 124th Divisions moved south along the Nenjiang River and approached Fufu County in an attempt to attack Qiqihar from the north.At the same time, Yamada Otozo also transferred the 10th Division and the 14th Division to the north, and joined the remnants of the 7th Division, the 1st Division, and the 8th Division with Baicheng, in an attempt to launch a counteroffensive against Qiqihar from the south.This time, the Japanese army gathered a total of about 250,000 troops to flank Qiqihar, which shows that Yamada Otozo is bound to win this battle.The Japanese army mobilized a large army to besiege Qiqihar, and the news soon spread to the headquarters of the seventh column of the Eighth Route Army in Qiqihar, and the situation became more and more severe.Ma Zhenguo held a baton in his hand, pointed to the huge map hanging on the wall, briefly introduced the current situation to the generals attending the meeting, and finally said: "The Japanese army has concentrated about 250,000 troops to attack Qiqihar in three directions, and the situation is very unfavorable to our army. ”After Ma Zhenguo finished speaking, he turned around and returned to his place and sat down.The scene immediately fell into silence, and everyone couldn't help frowning, everyone could see that the current situation was quite grim.Political Commissar Lu sighed softly and said: "The Japanese army is strong, and the two main divisions of our seventh column are still near Linxi County, and with our current strength in Qiqihar, I am afraid it will be difficult to block the Japanese army's large-scale counterattack." ”"In this case, then all the new First Division and the new Second Division will be transferred north, and our army will concentrate its forces to fight a decisive battle with the Japanese army in Qiqihar, I don't believe that we can't deal with these little devils."
Yang Erhu took the lead in speaking."
Yes, as long as we annihilate the main force of the Japanese army in the decisive battle, we will definitely be able to take this opportunity to recover a large area of territory in the Heilongjiang region.""
Sooner or later, we will have a decisive battle with the Japanese army, so why not take this opportunity to have a good fight with the little devils.Last time we couldn't hold Tongliao, but this time we must hold Qiqihar. ”Yang Erhu's words were immediately approved by many generals.Although nearly half a month has passed since the victory of Qiqihar, the enthusiasm of the soldiers has not completely diminished, and the morale of the troops is at this time, and even these senior generals present are clamoring for a good competition with the little devils.Li Guotao didn't speak, frowning and not knowing what he was thinking, but also listening to everyone's opinions.After a while, everyone was probably tired of the discussion, and they stopped one after another, and the scene gradually returned to quiet.Political Commissar Lu turned to Li Guotao and asked: "The commander has not spoken, what do you think, also say it for everyone to hear" Li Guotao raised his head and glanced at the generals present, and asked with a smile: "It seems that everyone thinks that we should have a decisive battle with the main force of the Japanese army in Qiqihar" Most of the generals couldn't help but nod their heads when they heard this, indicating their attitude, and some people just frowned, as if they were thinking about something, and were not in a hurry to show their attitude.Li Guotao said with a smile: "Our army has finally recovered Qiqihar, so naturally we can't give up easily, but this time the Japanese army has mobilized so many troops and attacked Qiqihar on three sides, and it is not so easy to block the Japanese offensive and keep Qiqihar." ”Yang Erhu hurriedly interjected: "If the new first division and the new second division are transferred north to support, although our army is still at a certain disadvantage in terms of strength, but our army is on the defensive side, and it is easy to block the attack of the little devils. ”Li Guotao nodded noncommittally and said, "What Master Yang said is very reasonable.However, in this way, the two sides will inevitably fall into a long-term war of attrition, which will be very unfavorable to our army. ”"Then how does the commander plan to fight this battle," Lin Feng asked with a frown.Li Guotao stood up directly, walked to the huge map hanging on the wall, pointed to the map and said with a smile: "We only noticed just now that the Japanese army was moving north, and more than 250,000 troops were besieging Qiqihar.But have we neglected a key point, that is, on the southern front, Chifeng, and Lingyuan lines, how many Japanese troops are left now" Hearing Li Guotao's reminder, everyone's eyes couldn't help but turn to the southern front, and they all frowned and began to think seriously about this issue.Li Guotao didn't give everyone much time to think, and continued: "According to the current situation, the Japanese army is on the line from Chifeng to Lingyuan, and there is only one 9th Division and the 11th Division left, and the main force of the 11th Division is still stationed in Chaoyang, and the 12th Division of the Japanese Army has also gone north and is stationed near Tongliao.While protecting Tongliao, the main Japanese forces in Baicheng could be supported at any time. ”"That is to say, now the Japanese army is in Liaoxi, and there are only two divisions left" "That's right, we only thought about Qiqihar before, but we didn't think about the southern front. ”The congregation will once again start talking, but this time the focus of the discussion will be shifted from Qiqihar to the western Liaoning region.Political Commissar Lu said with a serious face: "In terms of overall strength, our army is inferior to the Japanese army.If you want to defeat a strong enemy, you can only win by avoiding the real and attacking the unprepared.Judging from the current situation, Yamada Otozo was anxious for revenge and focused on Qiqihar, so he neglected the southern front, resulting in the emptiness of troops on the southern front.I feel that this is an opportunity, and if our army takes advantage of this opportunity to launch a large-scale attack from the southern front, it will definitely succeed in one fell swoop. ”aa2705221:
