A few months later…
headquarters.
"Commander, it's not good." Xu Zhiyong walked into the headquarters with a telegram, looking a little anxious.
"Commander, the train Han Guangling was riding on his way back from an inspection in Ji City exploded. Three trains were bombed. By coincidence, one of the three trains was Han Guangling's ride."
"How is Han Guangling?" Qin Jinhong asked.
"The Northeastern Army released news that Han Guangling was seriously injured, but his life was out of danger."
"Seriously injured?"
"Is it really seriously injured?"
"The news from the Northeastern Army is that his son Han Xiliang has transferred the five most elite divisions of the Northeastern Army back to Liao Province."
"What's going on over there at Fusang?" Qin Jinhong suddenly asked Fusang.
"One division of the Fuso Army has retreated to Brigade City, and another division is still in Ji Province."
"Retired to the tourist market?" Qin Jinhong frowned.
"Travel market..."
"Travel market..."
"not good!"
"Commander, what's wrong?"
…
at this time.
On the sea not far from the tourist city, several Fuso warships were sailing towards the tourist city.
Traveling to the market!
Kwantung Army Headquarters!
"Send a report to Yamada and ask him to occupy the Kyrgyzstan railway as quickly as possible and capture Kyrgyzstan city." Yamada Erya said while looking at the map.
"Hey!"
"Order Shirota to set up defenses at the front collar and wait until the Second and Seventh Divisions arrive."
"Hey!"
…
Shenshi!
The Marshal's Mansion.
At this time, the top brass of the Northeastern Army and Han Xiliang were all in the front hall of the Marshal's Mansion.
"Xi Liang, the commander-in-chief has passed away. The Northeast Army cannot be without a master for a day. You are the son of the commander-in-chief. You have to cheer up and take over the Northeast Army." Feng Jiu, commander of the First Army of the Northeast Army, said.
He is Han Guangling's dead brother. It can be said that Han Guangling played an important role in making Feng Jiu the person he is today.
"Uncle Feng, if the old commander is gone, can I support the Northeast Army?" Han Xiliang said with a haggard face.
"Snapped!"
“I have to hold on even if I can’t hold it up!”
"Remember, you are Guang Ling's son. Only you can control the Northeast Army. If anyone tries to steal me, Feng Jiu will be the first to disagree!" Feng Jiu stood up and shouted with his face flushed.
"I agree, Xi Liang, you must take over as the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Army, otherwise the Northeast soldiers will not accept it."
The speaker was He Peiyun, commander of the Second Army of the Northeast Army, Han Guangling's brother and an absolute supporter of Marshal Han Xiliang.
After hearing that the two most powerful people in the Northeast Army had spoken, Han Xiliang stopped delaying.
"Now that the old commander has passed away, the Fuso people must be ready to take action. Now their troops in Shen City have retreated to Lu City. We don't know why they did this, but I guess their troops in Ji Province will definitely make some moves. , Uncle He, your second group army is now stationed in Ji Province, you should go back immediately and be sure to block any plans of the Fusang Army!" Han Xiliang said.
"Okay, I understand."
"Uncle Feng, you lead the First Army to march towards Puwang City. No matter what Fusang wants to do when he retreats to Brigade Province, we must stop them."
"Uncle Li, you lead the third army to assist Uncle Feng." Han Xiliang looked at a middle-aged man and said.
"Okay." Li Long, commander of the Third Army, said.
…
Ji Province.
The Kwantung Army's garrison in Kyrgyzstan.
After receiving orders from Yamada Niya, the head of the Sixth Division, Nobu Yamada, ordered an infantry regiment to attack the Ji Province garrison head-on. Ji Province soon fell under the powerful firepower of the Kwantung Army.
When the Second Army arrived in Ji Province, it was repelled by the Sixth Division after three rounds of attacks.
at the same time.
The Second Army and the Third Army of the Northeastern Army launched an attack on Brigade City. In Brigade City was the Third Fuso Division.
Nearly 100,000 people from the Northeastern Army and the Third Division of the Fuso Army started a battle at the front collar.
The battle lasted for five days. The Northeast Army suffered heavy losses of 50,000 to 60,000 people, but the Fuso Army suffered only a few thousand losses.
Just when Han Xiliang wanted to mobilize all his troops to capture the front collar, he was opposed by the generals in the army.
In addition, the warships of the Fuso Army arrived at the brigade city on their own, and the number of Fuso Army entering the Northeast reached nearly 80,000.
If you want to eliminate the 80,000 Fuso Army, it may not be impossible for the Northeastern Army to gather in one place, but it is a pity that after the death of the old commander, the generals of the Northeastern Army all have their own agenda. They all want to become the king of the three Northeastern provinces.
What added fuel to the Northeast Army's situation was that Feng Jiu was killed by the Fusang Army, and He Peijun was assassinated by a traitor.
Because of the death of the two men, Han Xiliang also completely lost control of the Northeast Army.
The generals of each army did not listen to orders and did not support each other.
This gave the Fuso Army an opportunity to take advantage of, and the Fuso Army adopted a policy of defeating them one by one.
Han Xiliang had no choice but to ask Xu Dingfang for help, and planned to seek refuge with Xu Dingfang.
Xu Dingfang also agreed to Han Xiliang's surrender, but the first order was for the Northeastern Army to give up resistance, return to the pass, and join forces with the Jiangnan Army to resist the Fusang Army's attack.
Although Han Xiliang was unwilling to do so, the situation was now out of his control. He could only follow Xu Dingfang's order and return to the pass with the Northeastern Army who still listened to him.
Otherwise he would be doomed, so he had no choice but to do it in order to save his life.
But the consequence of doing so is equivalent to giving up the three northeastern provinces to the Fuso people.
Shan Er also received the news that Han Xiiliang had retreated to the pass with his elite troops, and immediately ordered the 2nd Division to support the 6th Division, and the 7th Division to support the 3rd Division.
The main force of the Northeast Army is now dead and retreating, leaving only rural soldiers and some urban garrisons.
The combat effectiveness is completely incomparable with the regular army of the Northeast Army.
He and the Fuso Army are in the same sky and on the ground.
The four divisions of the Fusang Army occupied Liao and Ji provinces in just over a month.
Then the Second Division marched towards Bingcheng, Heilongjiang Province, and the Sixth Division attacked Heguang County.
It took the Fuso Army another month to capture most of the Black Province.
However, during the advance, they encountered firm resistance from the Black Province garrison.
For seven days, Fuso's army could not move forward.
But in the end they were forced to retreat due to lack of ammunition.
At this point, it took the Fuso Army four months to capture the entire three eastern provinces.
And during the attack, the Fuso Army lost less than 5,000 people.
Because those who died were all puppet soldiers.
After taking over the three eastern provinces, the number of puppet troops in the three eastern provinces actually reached an astonishing nearly 300,000 people.
Subsequently, the Fuso Army carried out several brutal massacres in the three eastern provinces.
This suddenly caused an uproar across the country.
What Xu Dingfang thought was that as long as the Fusang Army did not enter the pass, he would not move.
He also planned to turn a blind eye to what the Fuso Army was doing in the Northeast.
But the Fuso Army did not stop.
Fuso itself invested two more divisions in the northeast.
So far, the number of Fuso troops in the three northeastern provinces has reached six divisions and more than 100,000 people.
And integrated them into the Northeast Expedition Army.
Fuso Army General Ishiki Matsumoto was appointed commander of the Northeast Expeditionary Force.
The chief of staff is Lieutenant General Omitsu Ku.
Yamaji was sent to the Japanese General Staff.
