Chapter 119: The Northern Frontier Army declares war on the Fuxing Army. This time I want to fight 3
Fuso, Kyoto, Kyoto Imperial Palace.
Since the bombing of Saikyo, the Kyoto Imperial Palace in Kyoto City has become the new palace of Emperor Tamashii.
The three bombings of Fuso by the Restoration Army had a huge impact on Fuso.
Most of Xijing's important institutions were moved from Xijing to the safer Kyoto City.
At least this place will not be bombed by the Restoration Army for the time being.
This is only one aspect of the impact. The biggest impact is undoubtedly the economic aspect.
Not to mention how much money it would cost to rebuild a large shipyard and two cities.
The destruction of the Wugang Shipyard and the two core city industrial belts dealt a fatal blow to Fuso's already fragile economy.
Now the entire Fuso government is on the brink of bankruptcy.
Now the Japanese government is borrowing money everywhere in an attempt to stabilize the economy and fill the fiscal deficit.
These also troubled Emperor Tamehito.
But now there is even worse news coming from the General Staff Headquarters.
"The 5th and 19th Divisions were surrounded and annihilated by the Restoration Army.
Shenzhou, the capital of Andong Province, is under attack by the Fuxing Army, and the 8th and 21st Divisions are struggling to hold on.
To reverse the decline, Hatoyama Shinya decided to lure the Russians south, using Songjiang Province as a lure. Another large force of the Restoration Army was held back by the Russians, temporarily easing the crisis in Shenzhou.
This is the report submitted by the General Staff Headquarters.
When Emperor Tamashii saw the contents of the report, veins popped out on his forehead and he tried hard to suppress his anger.
"You idiot! The Empire has lost four permanent divisions in a short period of time.
Don't you, the General Staff, need to give me an explanation?"
Facing the Emperor's questioning, Prince Utsuribei, the Chief of the General Staff, lowered his head and explained, "Your Majesty, the Restoration Army possesses a large number of tanks, aircraft, and artillery, and the Imperial warriors have done their best.
Almost all the brave warriors of the four divisions fought to the last man, loyal to His Majesty."
What this means is that the Fuxing Army is too powerful, and we have done our best. There has been no soldier defeat or even surrender, so it is not our problem.
Emperor Tamehimaro sighed deeply upon hearing this.
Ever since the emergence of this Renaissance Army, they have suffered setbacks one after another, like a nemesis sent from the sky.
"Of the three provinces in Saibei, two have already been ceded to that damned bear. Andong Province is also struggling. Haven't you figured out how to deal with it?"
When Prince Utsuriboe saw that the Emperor had no intention of pursuing the matter further, he felt relieved and his expression softened.
"Your Majesty, we have a plan to deal with this, and we need your approval."
"Say!"
“First, continue to draw reinforcements from the mainland to support Shenzhou from the Korean Peninsula.
Shenzhou is the support point of the entire Andong Province and must not be lost.
The second is to let the northern border of China and the imperial Zhili garrison army launch an attack on Beire Province and Jinyuan Province together, while guarding against the Fuxing Army in Qidong Province.
The Renaissance Army has sent a large number of troops to the northern frontier. Now is the time when they are short of manpower, which is also an opportunity for the empire. "
Emperor Tamehito thought for a moment and then nodded slowly, saying, "China's northern border still has hundreds of thousands of troops. Although they are a motley crowd, they still have an absolute advantage in terms of military strength.
In this battle, let them serve as the vanguard, depleting the Renaissance Army's manpower, while the Imperial forces will then deliver the fatal blow at the critical moment."
Prince Uturibei immediately bowed and said, "Hey, I'll contact Northern Frontier right away and have them launch an attack as soon as possible."
The situation in the northern border area developed so rapidly and so complicatedly that all the forces inside the Great Wall were dumbfounded.
At first, King Jiang Yulin of the Northern Frontier was betrayed and died in the Yang Mansion in Songjiang Chuncheng. This is also known as the Yang Mansion Mutiny.
Then Yang Changhui joined forces with the Fuso people to quickly occupy the provinces of Songjiang and Andong.
Tsarist Russia also tacitly occupied the Heilongjiang Province in the north.
Subsequently, Yang Changhui's troops and the Fuso Army launched an attack on Jinchuan, the last defensive stronghold of the remaining troops in the northern border.
From then on, the situation began to reverse.
Because the Renaissance Army is coming!
The Fuxing Army showed the world what strength is.
Not only did they defend Jinchuan, but they also fought a crushing counterattack, annihilating the forces of two Fuso divisions in succession.
Now the troops have surrounded Shenzhou.
If nothing unexpected happens, the Fuso army will definitely not be able to defend Shenzhou or even the entire Andong and Songjiang.
And at this moment the accident happened again.
Tsarist Russia moved south and occupied Songjiang, threatening the Fuxing Army's offensive against Shenzhou.
The situation became complicated again.
The northern part of the Great Wall has become a battlefield fought over by the Fuxing Army, Fuso, and Tsarist Russia.
With the entry of Tsarist Russia into this battlefield, it is hard to say who will be the final winner.
However, from the surface, the performance of the Renaissance Army has blinded everyone's eyes.
The Fuso Army, which has always been known for its fierce fighting power, was no match for the Fusion Army.
This also made all parties feel very uneasy.
I just don’t know whether Tsarist Russia can break the invincibility of the Renaissance Army.
The same was true for Yuan Shicheng, but before he could wait for the next change in the situation on the northern battlefield, he received orders from the Fuso people.
That’s right, it’s an order!
Yuan Shicheng was angry but dared not say anything.
Not only because he is now completely dependent on the Fuso Army, but also because the Fuso Army already has two divisions stationed in the Zhili area.
One of the divisions was in Shangjing, and the other was in Tianjin.
Another division is still landing.
Lieutenant General Nakajima Takahiro, commander of the Zhili Garrison Army, looked at Yuan Shicheng's volatile expression and said coldly, "Prime Minister Yuan, what have you considered? This battle is a matter of life and death for both us. Don't think of holding back your strength anymore; that would be foolish."
Yuan Shicheng certainly understood the reason, but he was very unhappy that the Fuso people gave him orders in an imperative manner.
But what can I do if I am unhappy? I can only accept it.
Thinking of this, Yuan Shicheng said somewhat discouragedly: "Then follow the instructions of your country's General Staff Headquarters."
In just one day, a joint command center was established in Shangjing.
This joint command is dominated by Fuso people, and the Northern Frontier has become a vassal army of Fuso.
The commander-in-chief of the joint command was naturally Lieutenant General Takahiro Nakajima, commander of the Zhili Garrison Army.
The total strength of the coalition forces has reached a scale of millions.
Of course, the vast majority of these troops are from the Northern Frontier Army, and most of them are a motley crowd.
The only troops that are truly combat-capable are five armies with a strength of more than 100,000 people.
Among them, three armies were recently equipped with Japanese weapons and trained by Fuso instructors.
Fuso has the 3rd Division and the 11th Division.
In addition, the 12th Division is also landing, and it will take a few days for the full strength to complete the landing.
Goryeo is also increasing its transportation efforts.
Night transportation is still used, but the scale has increased a lot recently.
On May 5, 12, the First Column of the Fuxing Army was still launching a tentative attack on the 8th Division of Xinming.
Northern Xinjiang suddenly issued a telegram to the whole country.
The main content of the telegram was just one thing: declare war on the Fuxing Army.
This telegram immediately caused a huge sensation across the country.
It also pushed Yuan Shicheng to the forefront again.
Now the Fuxing Army is still fighting against the two great powers, Fusang and Tsarist Russia, in the northern region to recover the three provinces in the northern region occupied by the great powers.
And Yuan Shicheng actually chose to stab the Fuxing Army in the back during this national war.
It was immediately strongly criticized by all walks of life.
Some groups who were not very happy with the Renaissance Army before have changed their attitudes.
This also completely confirmed Yuan Shicheng's identity as a traitor.
Students and workers once again went on strike and boycotted school, and took to the streets to protest.
Some more radical people even stormed the Prime Minister's Office, resulting in bloodshed.
This further intensified the conflict.
Northern Xinjiang has completely lost the support of the people at this moment.
Even some units of the Northern Frontier Army began to waver.
But Yuan Shicheng now has no way out and can only go down this path until the end.
He is not the kind of person who drags his feet.
As orders were issued one after another, the Northern Frontier Army in various places began to act quickly.
The focus of the attack was Yuguan, the ancient city pass at the junction of Zhili and Beire, and Jinyuan.
Yuguan was also the main attack direction. Two armies with a total of more than 80,000 troops were deployed in the northern border.
The 100th Infantry Division of the First Corps of the Fuxing Army is now stationed at Yuguan.
The division commander is not from Red Alert, but Qiao Qingyuan! (Appears in Chapter 66)
The former commander of the 22nd Division of the Anwu Army of the Northern Frontier Army was captured due to his defeat, and was also very disappointed with the Northern Frontier Army.
The subsequent actions of the Northern Frontier Army had completely disappointed Qiao Qingyuan, and he finally chose to join the Fuxing Army.
Since he was a division commander in the Northern Frontier Army before, and he was not a member of the Red Alert, he could not be the commander of the main division.
So he became the commander of the 100th Infantry Division, the second-line force.
Although they are only second-line troops, Jiang Hua did not treat them unfairly in terms of weapons and equipment.
Take light weapons for example. Except for the STG44 assault rifle, all other light weapons are available.
For example, the G43 semi-automatic rifle, the PPSh submachine gun, the MG42 general-purpose machine gun, the M2HB heavy machine gun, etc.
Although the infantry regiment does not have an artillery battalion, it is equipped with an artillery company with a total of 6 M2A1 105mm howitzers.
The artillery companies of the three regiments are equivalent to an artillery battalion, with a total of 12 105mm howitzers.
Then there is the artillery regiment, with three 105mm artillery battalions, 12 guns in each battalion, and 36 guns in total for the three battalions.
There is also an M1A1 155mm howitzer battalion, totaling 12 guns.
The division has a total of 60 barreled artillery pieces.
Apart from this, there is basically no motorization. Apart from artillery and logistics units, there are only a small number of cars and trucks.
This is a standard light infantry division.
However, the weapons and equipment of the light infantry division are much better than those of the elite divisions in the country.
This is mainly because the main task of the second-line infantry division is to garrison and defend.
So they don't need much mobility.
In addition, the 100th Infantry Division was deployed in Yuguan.
At the two passes of the ancient city, Xishankou and Gubeikou, a second-line infantry division was deployed respectively, the 104th and 107th Infantry Divisions.
In the direction of the Zhengtai Line in Jinyuan, two motorized infantry divisions of the Second Army of the First Army, namely the Third and Fourth Motorized Infantry Divisions, were deployed.
This is one of the attack directions of the Renaissance Army.
This is also one of the attack directions of the Northern Frontier Army.
Here, the Northern Frontier Army deployed three armies and 11 divisions, with a total strength of more than .
Their real attack direction was the two passes of Xishankou and Gubeikou.
Nearly 15 troops were deployed on each route.
Nearly 20 people were deployed in the Qidong direction for defense.
This is the overall deployment of the Northern Frontier Army and the Fuxing Army.
A great war across the entire north began.
This melee was also the battle in which the Renaissance Army rose completely.
Jiang Hua smiled after seeing the Northern Frontier Army's declaration of war and said, "It seems that this time we won't be fighting two, but three."
