Chapter 28 The Third Battle of East Henan?
(Xiao C just checked the past manuscripts and found that Dai Nianwei’s wedding had actually been written about long ago, so it was a repetitive description. I’m really sorry. Please just treat it as the wedding of Dai Yihe, the second daughter of Dai Jiliang, born to Qi Xi, who graduated from the Basic Physics Department of Northwestern University of Science and Technology, and I won’t make any corrections.)
During the Second Battle of East Henan, the Japanese Army in North China requested the Kwantung Army to send troops for assistance, but was rejected by the Kwantung Army. It was not that the Kwantung Army relied on its special status to ignore the safety of friendly forces, nor was it that the Kwantung Army, which had always been keen on aggression and expansion, became a Buddhist and a vegetarian. Instead, it was that they were indeed in trouble.
On May 11, 1939, at the Xilintaolage grassland in the Nuokanmen area, Lieutenant Gongbuzab, commander of the 3rd Cavalry Company of the 7th Regiment of the Puppet Manchukuo Xing'an Guard Army, saw a group of Mongolian cavalry driving their horses across the Khalkha River and immediately ordered their troops to open fire to stop them.
The attacked Outer Mongolian cavalry crossed the river with a force of more than 70 horses the next day. The Mongolian soldiers on both sides fought with swords and guns. Both sides continued to invest troops, and the scale of the battle escalated rapidly, soon rising to the regimental level.
Since the Chimeng side had superior military strength, they drove the puppet Manchukuo army out of Xilintaolage in one breath.
After suffering losses, the Mongolian cavalry units of the "Manchukuo Army" hurriedly asked for help from their master, the Kwantung Army.
According to the "Outline for Handling Disputes on the Manchuria-Soviet Border" drafted by Masanobu Tsuji, the operations staff officer of the Kwantung Army General Staff after the Zhanggufeng Incident in 1938, which stated: "In areas where the border is unclear, the defense commander can independently draw the border line. In the event of a conflict, regardless of the number of troops or the border line, victory must be achieved." The 23rd Division of the Japanese Army stationed in Hailar sent a light armored vehicle squadron led by Lieutenant Colonel Yahizo Higashi, the commander of the cavalry regiment, and part of the 8th Cavalry Regiment of the Xing'an North Guard Army of the "Manchukuo Army", a total of more than 800 people, to attack Xilintaolagai with great momentum.
At this time, the Kwantung Army's Second Flying Group stationed in Hailar was not to be outdone and dispatched light bombers to bomb the Chimeng Army.
The Chimeng Army, which had no air defense capabilities, was bombed to pieces and had to retreat to the other side of the Khalha River in disgrace.
When the Eastern Detachment arrived at the Nokan Gate, they found that the opponent had disappeared. Thinking that he had completed his mission, Higashi Yaichiro left the puppet Manchukuo cavalry to guard it and led the Japanese army back to Hailar triumphantly.
But on May 21, news came that "Outer Mongolian cavalry crossed the river again and drove away the Manchukuo army."
According to the report of the Kwantung Army Air Force , there were about "more than 400" Red Mongolian cavalrymen who crossed the river this time. Therefore, the arrogant Tsuji Masanobu drew up a battle plan based on the calculation formula of "one Imperial Army soldier is worth ten", believing that the Kwantung Army only needed to send one squadron to drive the Red Mongolian Army across the river.
However, the commander of the 23rd Division, Lieutenant General Michitaro Komatsubara, was cautious and ordered the 64th Infantry Regiment to send five additional squadrons led by the regiment commander, Colonel Takemitsu Yamagata, to Nokan Gate.
According to the order of Lieutenant General Michitaro Komatsubara, Colonel Takemitsu Yamagata led 1,058 people from the 3rd Battalion of the 64th Infantry Regiment equipped with three 75mm Type 38 mountain guns and three 37mm rapid-fire guns.
The Higashiyazaki search team consists of 220 people and one Type 92 armored vehicle.
A baggage train of 340 people and a cavalry unit of the puppet Manchukuo army of 464 people, a total of 2082 people from the entire detachment, marched to Xilintaolagai in a mighty manner, ready to use a "sledgehammer to kill a chicken" to demonstrate the power of the Japanese army.
However, the report of the Japanese Air Force was extremely inaccurate. In fact, the Japanese army was not facing only 400 Chimeng cavalry, but a mechanized sniper battalion and a reconnaissance squadron of more than 1,200 people from the Soviet 11th Tank Brigade.
As well as 250 people from the 6th Cavalry Division of Chimeng, their technical weapons include 16 BA-6 armored vehicles, 23 other types of armored vehicles, 10 heavy artillery pieces above 100mm, 4 76.2mm self-propelled artillery pieces, and 6 45mm anti-tank guns.
What was even more unexpected to the Japanese army was that behind this Soviet-Mongolian joint force, which was far superior to the Japanese Yamagata Detachment except for its slightly inferior troop strength, there was a Soviet second-line support force consisting of a Soviet infantry division, a tank brigade and a machine gun battalion.
The Japanese army, unaware of the enemy's situation, ran headfirst into the iron wall of the Soviet and Mongolian armies. As a result, from May 28 to May 29, the Eastern Detachment, which had moved south from the Khalkha River to outflank the enemy's rear, was almost completely wiped out. Higashi Yabaizo and nine officers and 97 soldiers of the unit were killed, and one officer and 33 soldiers were injured.
When the news reached Hailar, Masanobu Tsuji, who was waiting for good news, immediately rushed to the front line. He used all means to drag Takemitsu Yamagata to the battle site, and under the cover of darkness, he retrieved the bodies of Tou Yaozo and others. This was the so-called "First Nokan Gate Incident."
"Brother Park Chu is right. There are nearly 100,000 Russians in Outer Mongolia, and they have a large number of technical weapons. The Kwantung Army must have hit a wall this time."
Dai Jiliang discussed the recent news about the Japan-Soviet War with Zhang Zilii who was far away in Gaolan over the phone.
"Yes, now the arrogant Kwantung Army will have a hard time. Yes, the Soviets will also pay a considerable price. More importantly, the Red Russians will face the dual pressure of our army and the Japanese army in Mongolia, and the burden of the Mongolian Border Army Group will be much lighter."
Due to the armed confrontation with the Northwestern Army in western Outer Mongolia, the Soviet army could easily mobilize a considerable number of troops to the eastern front.
In order to avoid the one in a million possibility of an accidental blind action by the Northwestern Army, Stalin dispatched Zhukov to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Soviet-Mongolian Allied Forces to command the Battle of Nokan Gate, in order to quickly resolve the war and intimidate the Northwest with a great victory.
On the other hand, the cause and progress of the war were reported to the Northwest through the consulate in Dihua and the Guiyang government respectively, in an attempt to gain tacit indifference from the Northwest.
"Yes, yes, we don't need to participate in this dog-eat-dog fight. The Mongolian Border Army should do what it should do. Chen Shiqi's Sixth Army can press the Mongolian troops to the east."
After hanging up the phone, Dai Jiliang squinted his eyes and thought about it. Now that the Japanese Central China Expeditionary Force has captured Nanchang, Okamura Yasuji, who is greedy for more, has set his sights on Changsha, and the Battle of Changsha is imminent.
Since the Japanese troops in the north and south have been tied down, can the two major war zones of Hebei, Shandong, Henan, and Jiangsu, Xuzhou, Shandong, Henan, and Anhui launch the Third Battle of East Henan to recover Guide and Xuzhou?
After thinking for a while, Dai Jiliang reached out and pressed the doorbell. Soon a 17-year-old young woman timidly opened the door.
Dai Jiliang waved to her, and the little woman walked over, twisting her waist.
Dai Jiliang patted his thigh again, and the woman sat on it with a flushed face.
Dai Jiliang held the woman's slender waist with one hand, unbuttoned her cheongsam with the other hand and got in. While playing with the young woman's not-so-full breasts, he leaned close to her ear and asked, "Have you dealt with all the family affairs?"
The young woman, who was being attacked from both sides, responded in an inaudible voice: "Thank you, godfather. I have taken care of it."
"Although I can't marry you off in a formal way, we are still one after all, so there's no need to thank me."
After Dai Jiliang finished speaking, he turned the young woman's body over, then pried open her cherry lips and teeth to chase her small vagina. After a long time, Dai Jiliang let go of the panting woman.
"I need to tell you something, your cousin."
The young woman's heart suddenly fluttered. She already understood what Dai Jiliang was going to say. However, she had no ability to resist the King of the Northwest who could send her to heaven with just one word and send her back to hell with just one word. So, a line of clear tears of grievance slowly flowed out of her eyes.
"Why are you crying for no reason?"
Dai Jiliang took out his handkerchief and wiped it for her lovingly.
"Don't be petty. After all, we are sisters within the fifth degree of mourning. Her father did a bad thing by taking your property and selling you as a prostitute, regardless of blood relationship. But her father is her father. She still cares about you, her cousin. And if her father hadn't done evil, how could you and I be together?"
"She misses me as her cousin?"
The little woman sobbed.
"It's just to show off your status as a young lady in front of me."
The woman cried and punched Dai Jiliang, but the force was very light.
"She loved snatching things from me since she was little. Her family was not well off at the time, so my parents always told me to give in to her. But after my uncle took away our family wealth, she looked so arrogant. I will never forget that for the rest of my life."
Dai Jiliang sighed. This was a common story among the people. After his brother died, the greedy uncle seized his nephew's (daughter's) property and sold his niece to a brothel. If the brothel was controlled by the Police Archives Bureau, the end of this beauty would surely be long-term misery after a period of glory. No wonder he would be so resentful.
"How old are you now? How old was she then? Both of you were young and naive. Now that you have experienced ups and downs, you have naturally matured."
Dai Jiliang patted the woman in his arms.
"Now that the war of resistance is underway, there are many things to do as a godfather, and there are many women. It is impossible to take care of everything. You are miserable alone, and having her accompany you can at least avoid some loneliness."
The young woman knew that she couldn't disobey Dai Jiliang's intention, so she could only nod in grievance. Dai Jiliang immediately comforted her a few more words, then picked up the phone and said, "Send Miss Zhang in."
A few minutes later, a girl, no, a young woman, who looked similar but younger, walked in from the side door.
Dai Jiliang also called her to his side and said, "Go and say sorry to your sister."
"Sister, I'm sorry."
The one who came later bowed ninety degrees to apologize to the one in Dai Jiliang's arms, and tears flowed out like a spring.
"Sister, please forgive me and Dad. We have really suffered a lot in the past six months."
The young woman in Dai Jiliang's arms turned her head away stubbornly, seemingly not hearing the other's apology. Instead, Dai Jiliang held the two women's hands together and said, "You are both my godfather's women. Everything before is written off. You must love each other in the future. Otherwise, don't blame me for not wanting you two."
The two young women shuddered at the same time. They naturally understood the weight of Dai Jiliang's words. Thinking of the days when they were once ferocious brothels and begging on the streets, the two tearful faces nodded aggrievedly at the same time. Then Dai Jiliang was satisfied and took the two women into his arms at the same time. In front of the shy each other, he started to have sex with them from left and right, exchanging saliva in their mouths.
How could the two girls who had just lost their virginity withstand Dai Jiliang's teasing? They soon began to breathe rapidly. However, the evil Dai Jiliang forced the cousins, who still had a grudge against each other, to kiss each other passionately. Looking at the two pink tongues entangled together, Dai Jiliang, an old gourmet, couldn't help but feel his appetite grow.
Soon the battlefield moved to the lounge nearby, where naked men and women faced each other and played ancient and moving music.
