The telegram from the Sulu Theater Headquarters was personally sent by Commander-in-Chief Yu, with only one content, asking for help.
Under the crazy attack of the Japanese army, all the troops in the Sulu theater were beaten back steadily. Basically all the county towns and larger towns that had been captured were captured by the Japanese army. All the troops were now in danger of being surrounded by the Japanese army.
After these few months of development, all units in the Sulu theater have established a firm foothold in the southern Shandong area, and their strength has also improved.
In particular, several main forces have developed rapidly. Take Yu Xuezhong's 51st Army as an example. As we all know, the 51st Army is the absolute main force in the Northeast Army, but everyone does not know that this unit basically did not reach the south of Shandong before it arrived. It was wiped out.
Speaking of the predecessor of the 51st Army, we can start with the 18th Mixed Brigade of the Army established in 1917. The backbone of the brigade can be traced back to the Yi Army in the late Qing Dynasty. Therefore, it can be said that the 51st Army has the longest history among all the armies during the Republic of China.
When the 18th Mixed Brigade was established, Zhao Ronghua, a veteran Yijun officer, served as the brigade commander. The brigade was affiliated to the Zhili clique. It later developed into a division under the leadership of the successor brigade commander Yu Xuezhong, and then joined the Fengclique. After several reorganizations, it was expanded into the 51st Army in February 1933, and its commander Yu Xuezhong continued to serve.
After Yu Xuezhong led his troops to join the Feng faction, they launched fierce battles with the National Revolutionary Army in Henan and Jiangsu. As the Feng clique's troops retreated one after another, Yu Xuezhong's troops not only blocked the National Revolutionary Army's attack, but also shouldered the heavy responsibility of covering the northward retreat of the main force of the Feng clique.
All these not only established Yu Xuezhong's position within the Feng clan, but also enabled the army to continue to grow until it developed into an army.
When the 51st Army was established in February 1933, it was a three-division A-type Army. However, after the "Xi'an Incident" in 1936, the Northeast Army was divided and disintegrated. Under this situation, the 51st Army was also reduced to a two-division B Army.
Because before the incident, the 51st Army stationed in Gansu was one of the most resolute troops supporting Zhang Xueliang. After the incident, the 51st Army was the first to disarm the Central Army outside Shaanxi.
Logically speaking, such "rebels" are in danger of being eliminated by Nanjing at any time.
Fortunately, after the incident, Chiang Kai-shek still wanted to appease the remnants of the Northeast Army, especially Yu Xuezhong, a senior general with a reputation in the Northeast Army, so he appointed him director of the Jiangsu Appeasement Office and commander of the 51st Army. This force can have its own small territory and continue to be maintained.
When the Anti-Japanese War broke out, the mission of the 51st Army was to defend the original defense. When the Japanese army invaded Shandong and Anhui in January 1938, Army Commander Yu Xuezhongfeng received a direct telegram from the Military Commission, asking the army to march to the Huaihe River to set up defenses to prevent the Japanese army that captured Nanjing from moving north and joining forces with the Japanese army coming down from Shandong. Xuzhou.
In the next nearly a year, the 51st Army appeared on various battlefields like firefighters, fighting fiercely on the Huaihe River. At the cost of more than 3,000 casualties, the 51st Army completed the task required by the 5th Theater to stop the Japanese army. ; In the bloody battle of Lanling, Liu Ming, colonel commander of the 684th regiment, was shot and killed, and Hu Xianmei, commander of the 340th brigade major general, died heroically.
In the battle of Lanling Town, the 51st Army suffered more than 8,000 casualties, and most of its pre-war elite were lost in this battle.
The 51st Army in the Wuhan Battle also suffered heavy casualties. Two years after the war began, the 51st Army lost 4 major generals, 6 colonels, and 15 lieutenant colonels. The total number of casualties in the entire army was close to 20,000, and almost all the elites were wiped out.
When the troops headed north to Lunan, the two divisions of the 51st Army totaled just over 10,000, which was two-thirds less than at its peak.
Moreover, the weapons and equipment are also very poor. Before the war, each unit of the Northeast Army could basically have nine machine guns in a company. However, with the lack of effective replacement after the battle losses, only one company of the 51st Army was left. Four machine guns.
But after these few months of development, especially the huge gains from the previous attack on Linyi, the army not only added more than 4,000 new recruits, but also added a lot of weapons and equipment.
This is just the 51st Army. Others such as the 57th Army, the Marine Corps and the 69th Army have also made gains. Seeing that the entire Japanese army in Lunan was beaten and abandoned, the situation in the Sulu Theater was excellent.
As a result, with the arrival of the Japs, the good development momentum of the army was curbed. At present, the tens of thousands of Japanese troops were approaching menacingly. If they were not careful, the good situation created before would be ruined. This was something Yu Xuezhong would not do under any circumstances. Would like to see.
At present, in the Sulu War Zone, apart from some troops located on the eastern coast who are scattered to break out, the remaining main force is still in the Yimeng Mountain area. The most important thing is that the Japanese army's encirclement has been formed. Not only is it difficult to break out, but there is no place to break out.
After thinking over and over again, Yu Xuezhong decided to carry out anti-mopping operations with the Japanese army on the spot, using the mountains toThe advantage of the terrain was to deal with the Japanese army.
But Yu Xuezhong also knew that passive defense would not work. Once the Japanese encirclement was formed, it would continue to shrink to the center, and finally directly compress the living space of the Sulu theater to the extreme, and eventually eat up all the national troops in Lunan.
At this moment, there must be an external force to tear apart the encirclement of the Japs and make their entire plan flawless. Therefore, Yu Xuezhong thought of the Shandong Guerrilla Corps and Li Guoyao.
Yu Xuezhong has always looked at this rising star of the Northeast Army with special eyes. He knows very well that Li Guoyao is definitely the most dazzling general in the Northeast Army and is also the commander with the highest combat level.
If there is anyone who can solve the crisis in the Sulu war zone right now, then this person must be Li Guoyao.
Firstly, the Shandong Guerrilla Corps has this strength. Repeated great victories have proved that the strength of the Shandong Guerrilla Corps is far stronger than people imagined. Whether it is fighting Xuzhou or Zaozhuang, if it does not have absolutely strong strength, it will have to lose its front teeth. .
Secondly, the Shandong Guerrilla Corps is close enough to Yimeng Mountain. The straight-line distance between Xiong'er Mountain and Yimeng Mountain is only a few hundred kilometers. If the speed is faster, it can be reached by marching in one day.
What's more, the intelligence department also detected that Li Guoyao had a large number of cavalry. It would be faster if the cavalry attacked.
The most important thing is that the reason why the Sulu Theater was regarded as a thorn in the flesh by the Japanese army was entirely because it supported the Shandong Guerrilla Corps.
Although there were some operations in the Sulu War Zone before, the scale was not very large. The battles involving hundreds of thousands of people only involved town strongholds and small gun towers.
It¡¯s not like Li Guoyao¡¯s army, which attacked important military towns like Xuzhou and Linyi from the very beginning.
Although the Sulu War Zone received a lot of praise afterwards, it also attracted the attention of the Japanese army. No, revenge was coming immediately!
For the Commander-in-Chief and others, this vat is okay, but it cannot be used. When the Japs came to take revenge, you Li Guoyao just hid aside and watched the excitement. You were not the one to do the business, so there was this telegram asking for help.
After receiving the request for help telegram from the Sulu Theater Headquarters, Li Guoyao immediately held a combat meeting attended by senior officers to discuss the matter.
Regarding whether to reinforce the Sulu War Zone, the Shandong Guerrilla Corps was divided into two factions with different opinions. The group headed by Wang Zhanhai, Zhang Tengjiao, Lu Dashan and others hoped to send troops to reinforce the Sulu War Zone and cooperate with the national army in Yimeng Mountain to crush the Japanese army. Sweep.
However, the group headed by Xu Hu, Ma Desheng and others firmly opposed the reinforcement of the Sulu Theater Headquarters. Their reason was that the troops had not yet recovered from the previous war, especially since there were many new recruits in the troops. If it is not useful enough, it is likely that it will fail to save others and end up putting itself in trouble.
In addition, there are not only the Japanese 21st Division, but also the 32nd Division and even a mixed brigade outside Xiong'er Mountain. These Japanese troops are eyeing the Shandong Guerrilla Corps. At this time, troops are sent to reinforce Yimeng Mountain. Once the main force of the Japanese army comes to attack, The consequences could be disastrous.
"But Wang Zhanhai and others believe that the Shandong Guerrilla Corps, the 51st Army, and the 57th Army belong to the same lineage as the Northeast Army. If they stand idly by at this time, they will definitely be cast aside in the future.
Secondly, Commander-in-Chief Yu takes good care of the Shandong Guerrilla Corps. He personally called the troops to ask for help. It must be that the Sulu Theater is about to be unable to hold on. As China's national defense force, it is against the military to watch friendly troops being annihilated. the rules.
??The two parties were arguing about the public¡¯s reasons and the mother-in-law¡¯s rights. They were so quarrelsome that in the end the decision could only be left to Li Guoyao!
