The Japanese temporary First Army Corps lasted five days from its establishment to its demise. None of the 130,000 Japanese troops and 12,000 puppet Manchu troops survived. From then on, the designation of the First Army Corps was permanently banned by the Japanese military.
Thanks to Xie Tian's thunderous methods, the massacre never happened again.
It never happened to the Chinese again.
Under coordinated airborne operations, the People's Liberation Army used the same means to recapture Chengde and Zhangjiakou. The Japanese troops in the two places were wiped out by the People's Liberation Army. It was a unilateral massacre of the Japanese by the People's Liberation Army. It was a just struggle against the invaders using unjust means. The Japanese asked for it.
It's just that the people in these three cities suffered from the same old sins. They were all coughing so hard that they were in agony. It took four or five days after the war to gradually return to normal.
The common people love and hate the People's Liberation Army who always serve them with a smiling face. They can't even curse, and they can't get over the humiliation in their hearts without a few curses. They are so entangled.
It wasn't until the common people learned that the Japanese massacred Tangshan and Zunhua that they understood Xie Baoqing's helpless actions. He was saving their lives.
Li Zongren originally thought that the eight transport planes borrowed by Xie Tian (Xie Baoqing) should be released after bombing Qinhuangdao. However, he did not expect that after the bombing of Qinhuangdao, there would be Chengde, and after the bombing of Chengde, there would be Zhangjiakou.
Who the hell knows where he will go after blowing up Zhangjiakou?
Xie Baoqing borrowed the plane, this damn thing seems like Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou.
Sure enough, half a month later, eight transport planes, sixteen pilots and more than twenty flight attendants, only five pilots and four flight attendants returned to Chongqing in a truck. As for the others, they voluntarily stayed in the People's Liberation Army Air Force. in the team.
It’s not that those who came back didn’t want to stay, it was that they had reasons to come back.
You can't give up your wife, children, father and mother, right?
The returning pilot brought a message from Xie Baoqing: From the time Kita Makoto arrived at Yoshiko Kawashima, the Chongqing government owed too much supplies to the People's Liberation Army. The eight second-hand transport aircraft should offset part of the debt.
The pilot also told Li Zongren: Xie Baoqing asked, when can the remaining debt be paid?
Li Zongren didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Damn Xie Baoqing, I kindly arranged a plane to send you rescue, but you damned well even detained the plane for me.
Director He also looked at Li Zongren dumbfounded and said, "Xie Baoqing is just a bandit. You cannot use common sense when dealing with him."
After regaining Qinhuangdao, Chengde, and Zhangjiakou, Xie Tian did not push forward Umezu Yoshijiro again and stationed troops in the pass to recuperate, giving people the illusion that the People's Liberation Army was satisfied with its current achievements and would stop fighting.
From ancient times to the present, there have been countless historical periods in China with Shanhaiguan as the border. When the People's Liberation Army stopped its troops at Shanhaiguan, great smart people began to interpret the strategic intentions of Xie Baoqing and the People's Liberation Army. They said that some people even had noses and eyes. They dug it out and compared it with the current layout of the liberated areas. Needless to say, there were quite a few similarities.
In fact, Xie Tian was a little scared. He was afraid that if he pushed Umezu Yoshijiro too hard, Umezu Yoshijiro would commit another atrocity and massacre the city.
At the same time, Xie Tian was also waiting, waiting for the troops to recuperate, waiting for the arsenal to produce JH44 and all re-equipment, waiting for the war situation in the south, waiting for Kim Il Sung, waiting for Qin Fen and Chu Yunfei to quickly tinker with the Red No. 1...
Xie Tian waited for more than a month, and it was not without fighting for more than a month. Fu Zuoyi and Zhang Xueliang attacked from two fronts and drove King Mengzi to Mongolia and the Northeast. The entire territory occupied by Mengzi was recovered, that is, Rehe Province and parts of Mongolia's Liaoning Province were originally divided by the National Government.
It's so shameless. Mengzi has a vast territory and is sparsely populated. The Mengzi Army is dominated by cavalry. The two tank divisions of Fu Zuoyi and Zhang Xueliang and the armored infantry division are rampaging on the Mengzi prairie. The Mengzi Army only fought one battle with the People's Liberation Army. How could the cavalry, sabers, and rifles fight against the tanks? What's more, the tanks equipped by the Huaye and Dongye tank divisions were X-1 main battle tanks with thicker armor than their skins.
In fact, these two tank divisions also have many Type 97 and Type 94 tanks captured from the Little Devils. However, the tanks and equipment of the Little Devils have become stepmothers in the PLA tank divisions. The tank regiments equipped with Japanese tanks can only bear the responsibility. Some combat tasks with low combat intensity, such as escorting the fuel and ammunition required for the X-1 tank, setting up a small stronghold, fighting a few small infantry, and so on, the tank regiment soldiers equipped with Japanese tanks were embarrassed to say that they were They were from several regiments. Of course, when they met their infantry comrades, these guys were also very happy and arrogant.
After Mengzi was recovered, Fu Zuoyi and Zhang Xueliang each expanded a cavalry division with a tacit understanding. Chengde was divided into the Dongye Defense Area, and Mengzi returned to Huaye from other places.
Fu Zuoyi and Zhang Xueliang have achieved their own achievements, especially Dongye, which has grown from scratch and has become a strong force in just two months. The defense area from Tangshan to Qinhuangdao and Chengde has also reached a small scale.
The General Headquarters also takes special care of Higashikata. Weapons and equipment produced in the arsenal are given to Higashino on priority. All three armies of Higashino have now been equipped with JH44 assault rifles, and the tank division is fully equipped with 215 X-1 main guns. battle tanks, 75 Type 97 tanks and Type 94 tanks.
Dongye has so many Japanese tanks thanks to the Battle of Shanhaiguan, Qinhuangdao. All the equipment of a tank regiment deployed by the Japanese army at Shanhaiguan, Qinhuangdao fell into the hands of Dongye, plus those captured from the Japanese 14th Division during the Tianjin Campaign. Tanks, Dongye's 1st Tank Division now ranks first among the three major field armies in terms of strength, which can be regarded as catching up from behind.
Not only that, Dongye expanded another cavalry division during the Mengzi battle. After asking Xie Tian for instructions, the two cavalry divisions merged into the First Dongye Cavalry Corps, and their strength jumped up a lot.
Seeing Dongye and Huaye getting rich, the grumpy Xu Shiyou couldn't sit still.
Xu Shiyou rushed from Shijiazhuang to Tianjin and went straight to Xie Tian's office.
The Zhongye Headquarters is located in Shijiazhuang, the Huaye Headquarters is located in Peiping, and the Dongye Headquarters is located in Tangshan (Lin).
There is now no war in Shanxi. The military in Shanxi is under the jurisdiction of the Taiyuan Military Division. The Taiyuan Military Division, Shijiazhuang Military Division, Handan Military Division and Cangzhou Military Division are under the Central Plains Field Army battle sequence.
Huaye established the Peking Military Division, Zhangjiakou Military Division and Mengzi Military Division.
Dongye currently only has the Tangshan Military Division, and Zhang Xueliang's application to establish the Chengde Military Division has not been approved.
Dongye's goal is the northeast, and the Tangshan Military Division is only the temporary base of Dongye. It is meaningless to establish another Chengde Military Division, and it also partially overlaps with the Mengzi Military Division of Huaye.
Seeing Xu Shiyou coming in the dust, Xie Tian smiled: "Look at the way the elder brother is looking for someone to fight with. Isn't the elder brother here to fight with me?"
Xu Shiyou looked at Xie Tian speechlessly: "We in the middle and jungle have been without a fight for almost three months. I'm here to ask you for a mission."
Xie Tian laughed and raised his wrist to look at his watch and stood up: "Isn't it a good thing that there is no battle to fight? This means that our liberated area has been stabilized. Let's take a walk after get off work and see what dinner your brothers and sisters have prepared for us today. Let's have a nice drink tonight."
Xu Shiyou had a dark line: "I'm not here to drink with you. The Eighth Route Army's operations in Shandong are not going well, otherwise we might as well send troops to Shandong."
Xie Tian walked around the desk and pulled Xu Shiyou, laughing and saying: "No hurry, no rush, let's talk over a drink."
