    ??

    Because the Japanese occupied Dalian and Lushun controlled the entrance and exit of the Bohai Bay, and the South-Manchuria Railway penetrated the heart of the Northeast, China's most industrially developed city Shenyang and most of the heavy industry bases Tianjin and Qingdao and important ports Huludao, Qinhuangdao, Yingkou, and the capital  Beijing was always under threat from the Japanese navy, land and air force.

    Although the Bohai Fleet has undergone earth-shaking changes compared with the official history, it is unable to passively protect the numerous ports around the Bohai Sea and the north. What's more, Japan's navy is more than one level stronger than China.

    The Japanese military presence in Kanto State and the spy agency in mainland China seriously threaten the country's survival, like a thorn in China's neck.  After experiencing another assassination, the Zhang Zuolin government's hatred of Japan has reached its peak. Now that politics, military, and economy have made long-term progress, it is time to eliminate this cancer.

    Five years ago, the Northeast Autonomous Government, with the Fengcian clique as the main force, established a new transportation committee in the Northeast, built its own railway system-the second Beijing-Harbin line and telecommunications system, and developed Huludao Port.  To fight against the Dalian Port under Japanese rule.

    Now, the government firmly refuses to extend Japan's leased land and prohibits local people from working for the Japanese in order to stop Japanese mining and deforestation in the Northeast.

    Under this policy, the transportation capacity of the Japanese-occupied South Manchuria Railway, which once connected the important industrial areas of Changchun and Dalian, dropped to less than half the level in 1922, and it was in a loss-making situation for three consecutive years;

    ??In the Northeast, industrial and mining enterprises under the control of the People's Government prohibit Japanese personnel from participating in cooperation, resulting in a large number of Japanese Koreans becoming unemployed in the Northeast;

    In Shanghai, Chinese-owned enterprises, with funding from the central government, took advantage of China's local resources to squeeze out the Japanese textile industry, which had long been monopolized by the Japanese, out of Shanghai. The Chinese textile industry sprung up everywhere, replacing Japan as the world's number one.  export country;

    In Shandong (especially Qingdao), due to the Japanese government's loss of power, a large number of Japanese Koreans immigrated to the Northeast, exacerbating the crisis of Nanman Co., Ltd.

    It is this situation that makes the Japanese regard the crisis of Nanman Co., Ltd. as the result of the Chinese's exclusion of Japan.

    In early 1928, China, which had successfully completed its third three-year economic plan, and under Zhang Hanqing's long-term planning, had an overwhelming advantage over Japan in Northeast China.  The six armies of the Shenyang Military Region commanded by Pei Qixun formed a pincer attack on the Japanese Kwantung Army in the east, west and north directions.

    The opening of the (Beijing) Jia (Beijing) Jia (Musi) line, which bypasses the railway lines shared by China and Japan such as Shenyang and Changchun, has made it possible to strategically transfer and support various troops within the pass. It can be said that whether it is a battle  Whether it's a quick war or a protracted war, the Northeast People's Army has the advantages of troop deployment and logistical supplies.

    Han Linchun significantly adjusted the deployment of the Northeast Army:

    With the main force of the 20th Army occupying Yingkou, the South Manchuria Railway and Guandong Prefecture can be cut into two sections during wartime, and the Japanese landing in Liaodong Bay can be prevented;

    The 14th Army guarded the west side of the Yalu River in Dandong, blocking the Japanese and Korean reinforcements from Sinuiju during the war, and was authorized to blow up the Yalu River Bridge in Dandong at critical moments of the war, preventing the Korean army from responding, forming a closed-door and dog-fighting strategy against the Kwantung Army.  potential;

    The 30th Army is the garrison, responsible for the Sino-North Korean border from Hunchun at the mouth of the Tumen River to Baishan and Tonghua - this area is crisscrossed with ditches and large-scale operations are unlikely, but it is necessary to prevent the Japanese army from possible attacks in Hunchun and other border areas  diversionary activities and possible countermeasures for the Japanese and Korean troops;

    The elite 29th Army guards Shenyang, Fushun, Tieling and other places as the total mobile force.

    According to Zhang Hanqing's order, the "Beidahuang Construction Corps" was also ordered to form two armies, each with three infantry divisions, as a strategic general reserve.

    The People's Army Air Force is also ready to go and has stationed two bomber squadrons in Benxi in advance.  A newly formed 125mm heavy howitzer regiment was also ordered to be deployed and placed under the organizational structure of the Shenyang Military Region.

    Faced with the almost aggressive posture of the Chinese government, Japan has significantly strengthened the strength of the Kwantung Army.  Lieutenant General Murakaze Chotaro, who is known as the rising star of the Locust Army, replaced General Muto Nobuyoshi as the new commander of the Kwantung Army on August 26. The elite 2nd Division also changed its commander a month ago. The division commander is Japan Army University.  Lieutenant General Akai Harumi who graduated from the 9th class.

    In order to make up for the numerical disadvantage of the Kwantung Army, the Navy's 17th Destroyer Squadron and two seaplane squadrons were stationed in Port Arthur.  The 17th Destroyer Division has four destroyers including "Urakaze", "Isokaze", "Tanikaze" and "Hamakaze", and its flagship is the light cruiser "Yura".  This is the largest naval force in the China-North Korea region, especially in the Bohai Bay, and it poses the most direct threat to China's heartland.

    The Japanese and Korean troops also mobilized a brigade and deployed it beside the Dandong Bridge on the east side of the Yalu River on the China-North Korea border to??Emergency events.

    The Dandong Yalu River Bridge is located in the urban area of ??Dandong, Liaoning Province. There are actually two bridges, less than 100 meters apart.  The construction of the first bridge started in May 1909 and was completed in October 1911. It was built by the Railway Bureau of the then Japanese Governor-General of Korea and was originally a railway bridge.  At that time, the first bridge was the only bridge between China and North Korea on the Yalu River, and it was a convenient land transportation artery for the Japanese army to invade China.

    As early as 1922, when the Feng clan was having trouble with the Japanese, Zhang and his son had agreed that in the event of a mutiny between China and Japan, the weak Feng army would blow up the bridge at all costs at the beginning of the war in order to create a short-term confrontation.  The overwhelming advantage of the Kwantung Army.

    However, as the situation has developed now, Zhang Hanqing does not want to blow it up easily: First, the offensive and defensive momentum has reversed, and the possibility of Japan launching an attack first is declining; on the other hand, if a war breaks out, it will be a protracted war of attrition.

    It would be easy to completely annihilate the Kwantung Army and form a situation of facing each other across the river on the China-North Korea border, but it would inevitably have to give up the advantages of the People's Army Army and fall into a situation in which China's limited navy responds to the relatively powerful Japanese navy, which would greatly affect China's foreign trade.  , which is detrimental to China¡¯s economic development.

    And if control of this bridge is a condition, the victory of the People's Army Army will continue to attack southward in North Korea to put pressure on the Japanese army. In this way, the pressure may be reduced in other places.  After all, the loss of North Korea is an unbearable burden for Japan. It is related to its strategic security, national honor, and national status symbol.

    If Japan loses power here, it will inevitably continue to send troops. In this way, China and Japan may, after several major wars, reach an agreement similar to that of stopping the line at the 38th Parallel after the end of the Korean War.  In doing so, firstly, the powerful advantages of the People's Army and the Army are brought into play; secondly, it is not only the Japanese who have the final say on whether to cease the war and the scale of the Sino-Japanese war, and strategically they do not lag behind their opponents.

    The two sides were at war with each other and sent troops to the front one after another.  At this time, neither China nor Japan was ready for a full-scale war.  Japan has not yet formed a comprehensive war mobilization, and China is still carrying out comprehensive economic construction in order to restore the vitality of its former economic power.

    Although Japan has been invading China for decades, Zhang Hanqing has a vision that is half a century ahead of his time. Will the balance of history tilt towards China?  ?(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
