Chapter 393 North China Crisis (Before the Sixteenth World War)
At least so far, Ouyang Yun is satisfied with his performance.Although the situation in North China is still a cloud of fog, one thing is certain, it is precisely because of his appearance that the rapid fall was avoided, and it is precisely because of his appearance that the Xuebing Army and the 57th Army These two powerful armed forces will appear in advance.

The Xuebing Army now has five divisions (on the basis of the first, second, third, and 143rd divisions, the Jidong Special Attack Division adapted from the Jidong Special Police Column was added), two independent brigades, and one battalion There are special forces at the level and a regiment level, as well as a self-defense force equivalent to a division-level organization of the reserve and police forces.Taking the two provinces of Hebei and Chahar as an example, it is not easy to maintain such a large military force. If it were not for the support of penicillin and the electronics industry, let alone modernization reforms, it is estimated that Jicha would be able to give it to the army just by paying. If you are poor, let alone a series of reforms that benefit people's livelihood.

The 57th Army also has nearly five divisions. Compared with the Xuebing Army, because of its relatively narrow jurisdiction and lack of characteristic pillar industries, the financial situation of the 57th Army is much worse than that of the Xuebing Army. It was handed over, and the Nanjing government provided targeted support in order to curb the army of soldiers, so it can still be supported at present.

From Ouyang Yun's point of view, the situation in North China was quite optimistic because of the existence of the Xuebing Army and the 57th Army.If the Nanjing government is determined to forge ahead, it only needs to make full use of the military power of Shandong and Shanxi, so it may not be impossible to fight the Japanese army in North China.And as long as the most difficult initial stage is overcome, with the spread of the cadet army's industry in the United States and the application of advanced military technology, then the cadet army alone will become a huge rock in front of the Japanese army. Its strategic intention of taking North China as its own has come to naught.

"Maybe, I shouldn't have taken the path of semi-independence in the first place." At one point, Ouyang Yun even had doubts about his original choice.But then, the situation at Xifengkou stabilized, and after he toured around Jicha territory, he dismissed the idea.

After a series of land reforms, the current Jicha territory is completely different from the whole country.First of all, because the land that the landlord class used to exploit the common people was forcibly purchased and redistributed, the old landlords who had a lot of spare money, driven by profit, began to invest in industry and commerce, which made the industry and commerce in Jicha territory unprecedentedly prosperous.On the other hand, because of the large enough benefits obtained in the land reform, the peasants in Hebei and Chahar became staunch supporters of the Xuebing Army and the military government. As Ouyang Yun imagined at the beginning, the combination of the army and the people It has become a fish-water relationship.In addition, due to the defection of a large number of overseas Chinese and aspiring young people from all over the country, the quality of the soldiers and technicians of the Xuebing Army has been guaranteed. The most important point is that with the help of these overseas Chinese, the sales of the products of the Xuebing Army have quickly opened up. It provides a strong guarantee for the sustainable development of the subordinate enterprises of Xuebingjun.In order to make more effective use of the resources that overseas Chinese young people have, Jiang Shuren specially established an overseas sales company, and recruited a large number of overseas Chinese young people as sales directors in overseas countries. They were not only responsible for sales, but also responsible for contacting local governments. , to serve the political system of the Xuebing Army.

Ouyang Yun chose to inspect the whole territory at this time because of deep considerations.After this period of experience, he is no longer the little angry youth who only knows how to use his emotions. After realizing that it is impossible for Nanjing to have a big support for North China in the near future, he realized that learning Bingjun is about to face a real test.Regardless of whether it was Wen'an before, the victory in Tianjin later, or the defense of Wanping and Xifengkou later, the Japanese troops dispatched only small troops.You know, the Japanese army has a regular setup of [-] divisions in the country, and its reserve system is perfect. As long as the equipment can keep up, it is absolutely possible to pull out [-] divisions immediately.The domestic political situation in Japan has determined the previous small fights, and as the Communist Party headed by the terrorists completely controls the cabinet, then the actions of the Japanese army are bound to become bigger and bigger. By that time, What the Xue Bingjun had to face was not just a group of devils.At that time, if the Xuebing Army wants to maintain the current fighting situation, it will be unrealistic to conduct the war entirely on the border of Hebei and Chahar.In this way, it is necessary to be prepared for continuous fighting with the Japanese army in the territory, and the support of the common people is particularly important, and the role of civilian armed forces cannot be ignored.On the one hand, his trip was to test the adaptability of the self-defense forces and local governments below, and to declare the determination of the student army to fight to the end.

Ouyang Yun's inspection process lasted for more than a month. During this period, he was puzzled that the Japanese army did not launch an offensive against Shandong immediately, and Hideki Tojo did not take responsibility for the defeat in the Heijin War. .Later, from the various information sent back by Fox Tong, he realized that his previous guess was correct, and the Japanese army would make a big move.

The Japanese army was indeed making various preparations before the war without a trace. First of all, the North China Front Army and the Shanghai Dispatch Army were established.The North China Front has a total of seven divisions including the fifth, sixth, ninth, tenth, No.16, No.20 and 11th, plus three mixed brigades of the first, second and 16th, Plus an aviation regiment that has just been urgently dispatched from China.In terms of tanks and artillery, there are two full armored vehicle wings, plus six third artillery wings and three heavy artillery brigades.Among them, the ninth, tenth, No.20, No.[-], [-]th divisions, mixed first brigade, one regiment of armored vehicles, four mountain artillery regiments, and two heavy artillery brigades The First Army, assembled in the direction of Rehe, is responsible for the Pingjin offensive; the rest, except the Fifth Division, the Second Mixed Brigade, and the Aviation Corps, which are under the direct control of the headquarters, form the Second Army, assembled in Qingdao, and responsible for the Shandong offensive .

Secondly, in response to the purge movement of the 143rd Division of the Xuebing Army in the Duolun area, the Kwantung Army and most of the North China Garrison that had withdrawn from the Japanese Concession formed the Chahar Task Force.The commander is Hideki Tojo, which has two mixed brigades, two brigades, plus a tank brigade, a mountain artillery brigade, and a heavy artillery wing.

After fully obtaining the Japanese army's troop layout, Ouyang Yun couldn't help laughing and said to the staff officers of the military headquarters: "Nearly five divisions have been assembled on the front line of Xifengkou and Duolun alone. The little devil really thinks highly of us." Where are the cadets?"

Chen Shichang just left the hospital a few days ago, and heard the words: "It seems necessary to seek help from General Fu Zuoyi and Chairman Yan Xishan. Once Jicha was lost, Shanxi and Suiyuan lost their barriers. Out of the same hatred, we I don't think they'll stand by."

Ouyang Yun restrained his smile and did not speak.The tower that Chen Shichang mentioned has long been thought of, but if the Nanjing side does not come forward, Yan Xishan and Fu Zuoyi, can they come forward?
This is an unknown!
