As the largest puppet army leader in eastern Henan, Zhang Lanfeng not only openly treason and surrendered to the enemy, but also "cared for" the Chongqing people. At the same time, he also avoided conflicts with the armed forces of the National Army as much as possible. However, Yang Tianfeng did not want to let him go. In eastern Henan, no matter how good Zhang Lanfeng was, he was helping the Japanese suppress their compatriots, and had serious conflicts with the interests of the Third Column.
The night was getting darker, but Yang Tianfeng had not yet rested. He was writing quickly and writing articles under the pseudonym of thunder.
The situation of the domestic anti-Japanese war is generally relatively stable, but the sharp changes in the international situation are becoming increasingly unfavorable to China. The Chinese government, which was once excited about the fight between Japan and the Soviet Union in Nomenkan, was not only disappointed, but also faced a more severe anti-Japanese war situation.
In May 1939, about 700 Outer Mongolian troops crossed the Halaha River west of Nomenkan, entered the pseudo-Manchurian Empire, and clashed with the Manchu army. The 23rd Division of the Japanese Kwantung Army stationed in the area immediately went to support the support, and the Soviet army also rushed to assist the Mongolian army, triggering the famous Battle of Nomenkan.
The Kanto Army was recognized by Chief of Staff of the Immortal Palace of the Army Department, and approved by the Provincial Department of the Army, and approved by the Chief of Staff of the Army Department of the Army Department. In fact, it was the emperor's acquiescence. It immediately galloped like a wild horse that broke free from reins. In June, a large number of aircraft suddenly dispatched to lightning attacks on Tamsk, shooting down and destroying 124 Soviet aircraft. Only four Japanese aircraft were missing, and the rest were not damaged.
Subsequently, the Kwantung Army used the main force of the 23rd Division and other subordinate troops to cross the Halaha River, and swept the western wing of the Su-Meng Army with an unstoppable force. On the endless grassland, they fought cruelly with the Su-Meng Army. The Soviet army blocked the Japanese army with its superior heavy artillery and tank groups and drove them back to the right bank of the Halaha River.
Then, the Japanese army launched a large-scale offensive again, but did not break open the Soviet-Mongolian defense line. The two sides were in a stalemate again. The Japanese command did not take the Soviet Union seriously and was determined to attack its "aggressive acts". In fact, these actions were all backed by the defense agreement between Japan, Germany and Italy.
However, when the Japanese army was red in Nomenkan and the Soviet army's eyes, Hitler, the elder brother of the Three Kingdoms, had a very ambiguous political, economic and military transaction with Stalin in Moscow, hoping to form a secret military alliance with Stalin and jointly divide Poland's territory.
In order to gain benefits on the Polish issue, the Soviet Union used clever skills: while negotiating with Germany, it also engaged in military negotiations with Germany's mortal rivals Britain and France, which made both Germany and Britain and France feel that if the Russians were not properly dealt with, they would turn to the enemy. As a result, the Soviet Union got a good situation.
Hitler changed his normalcy and had another reason for his secret talks with Stalin, which was that he was disappointed with the other two little brothers of the Axis powers. Hitler wanted to conquer the world and knew that he would fight with the Soviet Union and Britain and France. Therefore, when he was the main alliance to determine the "revolutionary target" of the Axis powers, he listed the Soviet Union as the number one, and Japan and Italy had no objection to this.
However, when Hitler also listed Britain and France as the "revolutionary objects" of the Axis powers and demanded that Japan and Italy assume military obligations to fight against Britain and France, the two little brothers were less willing.
The reason why Italy is reluctant is not mentioned for the time being. However, Japan is reluctant because there are strong opposition forces in the country. The main force is the maritime minister, and the foreign minister and Tibet agree, firmly opposing the enemy of Britain and France for a faraway place in the sky. However, the strong army faced tit-for-tat, firmly advocated the sincere unity of the Axis powers and the "revolutionary object" as the enemy.
After Prime Minister Hiranuma ignored the firm opposition of the Navy and Foreign Minister, Tibetan Prime Minister turned to the army and bet his political future on whether Hitler would be trustworthy in the future and jointly opposed the Soviet Union with Japan. However, when Hiranuma's cabinet expressed its attitude, he realized that Hitler was secretly engaged in friendly and secret talks with the Soviet Union, and there were rumors that Germany and the Soviet Union would form an alliance and sign a non-aggression treaty.
At this time, the Nomenkan War was in fierce development. Japan believed that even if Germany and the Soviet Union signed a minimum agreement, it would be a shameless betrayal to Japan. Because as long as Germany and the Soviet Union were friendly, even if it was temporary, it would actually lift the pressure on the Soviet Union's Western Front, and the Soviet Union would gather heavy troops to deal with Japan in the Far East.
The Japanese discovered that just as Hitler put China and Japan in the Far East together and thought Japan had the strength and abandoned China, now Hitler put Japan and the Soviet Union together and thought the Soviet Union was more powerful.
In order to stop Germany and the Soviet Union from colluding, the Hiranus cabinet made a quick move and also used diplomatic tricks to restrict Hitler. Japan suddenly turned to get close to Britain. In late July, Japan and Britain negotiated in Tokyo and reached an agreement, and the two governments issued a statement with the same content at the same time.
In this way, Japan resoundedly fought back against Hitler's collusion with the Soviet Union, and at the same time achieved the goal of isolating the government. However, Britain carried out a conspiracy in the Far East Munich to sacrifice China's interests and achieved his ulterior motive. In the end, China was at a loss.
The joint defense alliance formed by Hitler's main alliance has now been destroyed by Hitler himself. He betrayed the "loyal and honest" Japanese brothers. In response, the Japanese cabinet was angry and dismissed. The ambassador to Germany Oshima made a strong protest to the German government on the grounds that this treaty violated the Secret Subsidiary Agreement of the Japan-Germany Defense Communist Agreement.
Germany and the Soviet Union signed a contract and declared a disastrous defeat in Hiranuma's diplomacy. Prime Minister Hiranuma was severely criticized by domestic political forces and was forced to resign.
In August, the Kwantung Army and the Manchukuo Army also fought tens of thousands of people with the Soviet Union and Mongolian Army in Nomenkan. The Soviet army was involved in the front-line battles with three infantry divisions, seven tank brigades and thousands of artillery corps, and five divisions and a large number of aircraft were deployed in standby mode.
The muscles of the Japanese dwarf were obviously not as strong as those of the polar bears. Under the repeated attacks of Soviet tank groups and the bombardment of cannons and planes, there were heavy casualties. The Japanese army was unable to launch another attack and took the defensive.
Subsequently, Japan proposed a ceasefire to the Soviet side. Unexpectedly, the Soviet side immediately agreed to the ceasefire like the Zhanggufeng incident, and its urgency to ceasefire was stronger than that of the Japanese.
This is because Hitler's military preparations for Poland have been completed. According to the German-Soviet secret agreement, a large area of land on this side of Poland should be occupied by the Soviet Red Army. It is only because the Japanese army had great concerns about escalating the conflict between the Soviet army in Nomenkan that the Soviet army had no time to look at the land in Poland and did not rashly send troops to Europe.
Each had its own needs and progress was smooth. After the Soviet Union reached an armistice agreement in Moscow, the Soviet Red Army began to transport cars and tanks from Nomenkan to the Western Front via the Siberian Railway, preparing to swallow up a large area of Polish territory.
Japan really has to work together on the Sino-Japanese War. As for the war between Japan and the Soviet Union in Nomenkan, in the eyes of the newly appointed Prime Minister Abi, it was Hitler's business. The Japanese just believed his promise and stepped into the mud. But Japan has not yet fallen deep, and it is still time to pull it out now.
Only China's war was initiated by Japan independently. Therefore, it is Japan's business to fight well and break up. He does not expect others to help, nor does he want outsiders to interfere. The statement of the new Prime Minister of the Japanese cabinet is actually: He has no intention of inquiries in any event anywhere in the world, except for the incident in China.
The stimulation of the Nomenkan incident on the Japanese army and the subsequent outbreak of the European War surprised the world. The Japanese-Soviet conflict not only did not restrain one Japanese army and one soldier, but instead deepened the pressure of the Chinese army's war of resistance and deepened the cruelty of the Sino-Japanese War.
This is the political relationship between countries. There are no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. It is dirty and disgusting, and the smelly black water is stinking.
Now, the War of Resistance has become China's own business. The United States, Britain and France declared neutrality, and even the Soviet military aid will be interrupted. Although the Soviet Union's aid to China and anti-Japanese war was due to its own interests and strategic considerations, it is undeniable that in the nearly four years from the July 7 Incident to the outbreak of the Soviet-German War, most of the foreign aid supplies that China urgently needed and actually obtained in the War of Resistance against Japan came from the Soviet Union.
The most likely impact was the Chinese Air Force. At that time, the Chinese Air Force had established three flight brigades, among which the largest first flight brigade and the third flight brigade were established based on aircraft and weapons and equipment provided by the Soviet Union. Only the equipment of the Second Fbrigade was supported by aircraft provided by the United States, France, Britain, Italy and other countries.
The Chinese Air Force used the Soviet Union to make warplanes and fought side by side with the Soviet volunteer pilots, defending political and economic centers and strategic locations such as Nanjing, Chongqing, Wuhan, Lanzhou, Xi'an, and Chengdu, bombing Japanese airports, stations, ships, trains, warehouses, expeditions to Taiwan and Vietnam, and supporting army operations, creating remarkable results in these major battles.
But now, the Chinese Air Force will lose one less fighter jet. Next year, Japan will take the lead in the zero battle, and the Chinese Air Force will be hit in a row, becoming a battle-avoiding air force, and will be redirected everywhere.
Isolation and helplessness, the cruelty of war will indeed make some people depressed and cannot see the hope of dawn.
As a time traveler, Yang Tianfeng certainly knew all the answers, we finally won the eight years of the War of Resistance Against Japan, we knew that this was the first time in history that the entire Chinese nation rose up to resist foreign invaders, we knew that Japan launched the Pacific War, and finally ate the American atomic bomb, we knew that the Japanese army did not capture the Southwest in the end, and we also knew...
