When the Northeastern Advance Army and the Kwantung Army were fighting a bloody battle on the Xing'an front line, an influential international conference concluded in Cairo, the capital of Egypt.
On November 20, 1943, U.S. President Roosevelt, British Prime Minister Churchill, and Chairman Chiang Kai-shek of the Chinese National Government arrived in Cairo. During the next six days, these heads of state held talks on the issue of launching a war against Japan.
On December 1, the United States, Britain, and China formally issued a declaration on Japan, the Cairo Declaration: "Future military operations against Japan will be determined through consultations by various military envoys. Our three major allies are determined to not relax. Pressure is imposed on the brutal enemy from all aspects of the sea, land and air. This pressure is already increasing. Our three major allies are waging war this time to stop and punish Japan's aggression. The three countries will never seek their own benefit, nor will they expand Territorial meaning.¡±
¡°The purpose of the Three Kingdoms is to deprive Japan of all the islands it has captured or occupied in the Pacific since the beginning of World War I, and to return to China the territories Japan has stolen from the Chinese people, such as Manchuria, Taiwan, and the Penghu Islands. . Japan will also be expelled from all the lands it has seized by force or greed. Our three major allies commemorate the slave treatment of the Korean people and decide to make Korea free and independent within an appropriate period of time."
"Our three major allies, committed to the above-mentioned goals and consistent with the goals of other joint countries fighting Japan, will persist in carrying out the major and long-term operations necessary to obtain Japan's unconditional surrender."
The Cairo Declaration not only expressed the Allied Powers' firm determination to defeat Japanese militarism, but also clarified the illegality and ineffectiveness of plundering other countries' territories by force. This is not good news for Japan, which is currently crumbling.
After receiving the information about the Cairo talks, the Japanese military base camp and the government immediately conducted research with great concern. Then, they received information that Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin seemed to be holding separate talks. Japan was more concerned about the latter information, so it reported it at the joint meeting on December 4 before the specific details were clear. Discussions were held.
Both the base camp and the government believed that the fact that the Soviet leader did not attend the Cairo Conference showed that the United States, Britain, and the Soviet Union did not yet fully agree on the issue of Japan.
However, there have been rumors of peace in Europe recently, so it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the situation related to the ongoing talks between Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin, unify the opinions of the base camp and the government on these issues, and take necessary countermeasures.
After some discussions, Japan formulated a series of countermeasures.
First, Japan decided that on the second anniversary of the start of the war, the Prime Minister would deliver a speech about the moral purpose of the imperial war, the determination to complete the war, and the unity of the countries in Greater East Asia.
The second step is to take measures on December 11, the anniversary of the signing of the Three-Power Agreement, to show the determination of Japan and Germany to complete the common war.
At the same time, at home, we will provide appropriate guidance on the comments on the two talks, and ask the countries in Greater East Asia to take the same steps as the empire's measures according to the situation.
Finally, we should seize the recent issue of the enemy¡¯s sinking of a hospital ship (casualty ship) and severely attack its inhumane cruelty.
Of course, these are not enough to make other countries face up to Japan's attitude, so the base camp still needs a hearty victory to stimulate the morale of the people, and at the same time demonstrate to the governments of China, the United States, and the United Kingdom.
However, Japan has fallen into the swamp of war in Southeast Asia. It has been retreating steadily under MacArthur's island-hopping tactics. It is difficult to protect itself. It still has the power to fight back, so the base camp can only turn its attention to the Chinese battlefield.
On the Chinese battlefield, the Japanese army had just suffered heavy losses in the previous Battle of Changde, and the central areas of North and Central China were temporarily unable to attack. At this time, the Northeast was turbulent, and the resistance seemed to be on the rise, so the headquarters ordered the Kwantung Army Headquarters to formulate a combat plan. Completely suppress the resistance forces in Manchuria.
This move can not only curb the resistance movement in Manchuria and scare the local people, but also increase actual combat opportunities for the Kwantung Army, effectively improve the Kwantung Army's combat effectiveness, provide experience for future combat with the Soviet Union, and achieve the purpose of a base camp. , it can be said that it accomplishes multiple things with one stone.
It is said that the Kwantung Army Headquarters immediately stated that it would go all out after receiving the order from the base camp. But at this moment, bad news suddenly came from Songyuan. Songyuan was captured by the Chinese army, and the Ninth Division was surrounded by enemy forces. .
When the news reached Fengtian, the entire Kwantung Army headquarters was shocked and shocked.
They didn¡¯t understand what happened to the Ninth Division. How could such a powerful field division be surrounded by enemy forces overnight?With destruction imminent, it all seemed like a dream.
"In fact, it's not just those at the Kwantung Army headquarters who can't figure out the situation, even most of the officers in the Ninth Division don't know what happened, and it all started last night.
When the commander of the 9th Division, Lieutenant General Tasaka Yachiba, adopted the suggestion of Chief of Staff Sasaki and moved the division headquarters to Wangye Temple, the northern and southern fronts belonging to the Northeastern Advance Army totaled 23,000 troops. Yibei launched attacks on Songyuan and Baicheng at the same time.
At 1:30 in the morning that night, Lin Li commanded the troops on the northern front to arrive outside Songyuan City. With the assistance of the special forces, the gates of Songyuan City were quickly opened. Then the main force entered the city. After two hours of bloody battle, they were finally annihilated around 3:30. More than 3,000 defenders in the city occupied Songyuan City.
In this battle, Lin Li's troops not only captured the provincial capital city of Songyuan, the puppet Manchuria province, but also completely wiped out the ninth division's heavy infantry regiment and the puppet Songyuan garrison brigade, wiping out more than 3,000 enemies and capturing 2,000 others.
The most important thing is that the troops intercepted a large amount of weapons, equipment and combat supplies stored by the Ninth Division in Songyuan City. In addition to the supplies they carried, the Japanese and puppet troops on the front line suddenly ran out of ammunition and supplies.
At the same time, Zhang Shaolin and others on the southern front also suddenly appeared outside Baicheng, and then launched a full-scale attack on Baicheng.
Garrisoned in Baicheng is the Engineer Regiment of the Japanese Ninth Division. Although it is a regiment-level establishment, the total number of all troops is less than 2,000. Facing the crazy attack of more than 10,000 elite national troops, coupled with the special The team had already sneaked into the city, and Baicheng only persisted for less than twenty minutes before breaking through.
After the city was broken, a large number of troops entered the city and street fighting began.
After a melee, just like Songyuan City, the main force of the Japanese and puppet troops was wiped out, some troops surrendered, and Baicheng was also controlled by the Northeastern Advancing Army.
¡°Subsequently, the troops of Songyuan and Baicheng immediately abandoned the newly occupied towns and then encircled Wangye Temple and other places with all their strength.
At this time, the main force of the Japanese 19th Regiment also fought hard for 7 hours at Fossil Mountain and Lu Zhanxiong's troops, suffering extremely heavy casualties.
After receiving the news that Matsubara and Baicheng had been lost one after another, and a large number of Chinese troops appeared outside Wangye Temple City, Lieutenant General Tasaka Eighty-eight immediately realized that he was about to be in danger, and immediately ordered the 19th Regiment to immediately abandon the mission of rescuing the 7th Regiment. , return to Wangye Temple with all your strength.
But when they came, it was easy to go. When they were about to withdraw from the front line, they found that the back road was cut off. The Chinese army not only deployed heavy troops in the back, but also placed a large number of mines on the roads along the way.
When the Ninth Division came, they were blown away and turned upside down. Now they want to retreat and have to go through it again.
Just when Lukou and the colonel were about to repeat the tactics they used during the day, there were not many puppet troops left who gave up.
Originally, there were more than 800 puppet troops when they came. However, after a big battle, Bai killed and injured more than 400 people. When they attacked the national army positions, more than 200 people died. At this time, only the remaining soldiers were still able to fight. There are less than two hundred people.
Now the Japanese army wants them to risk their lives to fight thunder. These people know that there is no chance of survival, so they naturally quit.
In addition, it happened to be night, so a large number of puppet troops quietly escaped from the ravines on both sides. By the time the puppet army commander and Lukoutong realized the problem, it was already too late. Only two of the more than two hundred puppet troops escaped. More than ten.
Angrily, he slashed the puppet army commander with the same knife, and then drove the remaining puppet troops to clear the way, preparing to retreat to Wangye Temple.
His idea was good, but the result was obviously not what Li Guoyao wanted to see, so a large number of national troops intercepted the 19th Regiment in front. As for the 19th Regiment's rescue target, the 7th Regiment, was behind the 19th Regiment. When the regiment was preparing to retreat to Russia, it lost its effectiveness and was almost eaten by Chen Jianzhong's troops.
