Zhang Xuewu checked the so-called county annals of the sixteen counties including Zhangbei. The average winter temperature was between minus 27 and 34 degrees Celsius. However, most of these records were from recent years. The previous records made many words such as ice, which made people crazy and unjustified. However, since the Ming Dynasty, hundreds of garrison officers and soldiers stationed at the beacon towers had been frozen to death. However, considering the characteristics of the Minor Ice Age weather in the Ming Dynasty, it is estimated that the temperature might also drop below minus 40 degrees Celsius.

Unlike the global warming in later generations, whenever snow falls in Rehe River during this period, the temperature will drop by more than ten degrees sharply, which is almost terrifying. Moreover, Rehe River, Suiyuan, Chahar and other places are the only places for the diversion of the Siberian cold current, and they are all famous wind outlets. As the locals say, winds blow twice a year and half a year.[]

Zhang Xuewu always believed that although the Japanese were a little stupid, they would not remember to eat or fight. After only a few years of bloody battle in Chengde, the Japanese dared to attack themselves again in even worse weather. Their tanks could not be driven, and the Japanese tanks were not good either. The attendance rate of their fighter jets was extremely low, and the Japanese even took off was a problem.

However, it is obvious that Zhang Xuewu ignored a person. This person is a man who cannot be called a human from a normal perspective. As a general, he is famous for his bravery and ruthlessness. After three efforts and care, he was admitted to the Mainland University. After three efforts and under the control of the 2.26th Mutiny, Nagata Tetsuyama, the military commander who was killed during the Second and Second Mutiny. As the senior of Tojo Hideki, he once said a sentence that influenced Tojo's life with his insight into Japanese society: "Tojo is a person who will shoulder the Japanese army in the future." You should know that at that time, in the Japanese army, Nagata Tetsuyama was with Shinsai.

Hui is known as the number one brain in the army, and she has strong majesty among soldiers. She is recognized as the leader of the ruling faction and is a well-known important figure who shoulders the future of the Japanese Army. Being able to make such a high evaluation of Tojo, an ordinary person who registered three times before entering the Mainland University, is enough to make Hideki Tojo grateful for his life. However, Hideki Tojo doesn't know that there is another unknown saying after Nagata Tetsuyama's famous remark, that is, Tojo is a person who shoulders the Japanese Army in the future, and it will be a disaster for Japan!

In the eyes of Ishihara Kanir, Tojo Hideki is not only incompetent, but even his appearance is unbearable. This is also the main reason why Tojo Hideki doesn't like Ishihara Kanir. Can you criticize me for being incompetent? But you will never allow me to attack me for being ugly. You must know that Tojo Hideki is still very satisfied with his appearance and is proud of it!

In secret, Ishihara's bad words about Hideki Tojo are common. Tojo can only manage two machine guns, but if you exceed two, you can't do anything. Kanir Ishihara once said in person that Hideki Tojo, who has been promoted to lieutenant general of the army, was a private to Tojo!

In fact, this has a close relationship with Ishihara Kanir being the Imperial Dominion faction, because during the 2.26 mutiny, Ishihara Kanir had long been sidelined. Fortunately, there was no big involvement. However, Hideki Tojo, who was the commander of the Kanto Army's military police at that time, issued secret telegrams and orders to the divisions, brigades and military police scattered in various places, ordering to immediately execute the treasonists. According to the blacklist of the Imperial Dominion faction, the Japanese military police in the pseudo-Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin Kin K

On the other hand, Hideki Tojo seized the opportunity to send a telegram to the Emperor and the Military Headquarters, proclaiming that the Kanto Army

Opposing military admonition and firmly supporting the Emperor, Hideki Tojo's decisive actions immediately stabilized the situation of the Kanto Army, allowing the commanders to firmly control the Kanto Army, the flower of the imperial army, and call on Tokyo's counter-insurgency.

After quelling the rebellion, Tojo Hideki was deeply appreciated by the ruling faction and rose to prominence, so he took the throne of Chief of Staff of the Kanto Army. This unexpected promotion also made Tojo Hideki ecstatic and decided to make a big move and completely eliminate Zhang Xuewu, who had always been regarded as a major concern by the Imperial Japanese Army of the Great Japanese.

On January 25, 1938, Emperor Hirohito officially issued a meeting of the headquarters to establish a secret assembly of the seventh divisions of the North China Front Army, which was assigned to the Sixth, Seventh Brigade of the Field Heavy Artillery, the 11th and 12th Regiments of Independent Chariots, and cooperated with the main forces of the Kwantung Army to secretly gather with Zunhua as the center.

The Kwantung Army, with the First Front Army commanded by the Zhouli Army, the Second Division, the Eighth Division, and the 12th Division, the Main Forces of the 12th Division have gathered and attacked from the Fuxin direction to Chaoyang northwest direction. The 10th Division, the 22nd Division, the 35th Division, and the 36th Division under the Second Front Army, assembled and attacked from the Jinzhou direction to the southwest direction to Chaoyang, and encircled Chaoyang. If the Chinese army reinforced or counterattacked from the Chengde direction, the main force of the North China Front Army should be blocked.

The 6th Division, the 14th Division, the Independent Mixed Brigade and the Independent Mixed 35th Brigade and the Independent Mixed 36th Brigade, attacking Zhangjiakou at all costs. The 38th Division and the 39th Division respectively feinted the attack on Chengde and Chifeng respectively, and constrained the Chinese army in the 10th War Zone on the entire line.

Tojo Hideki personally directed the Ohara Rie Chariot Division and the 23rd Mechanized Division to be hidden and standby near Datong.

Emperor Hirohito used many languages ​​used in his combat orders. In this battle, the rise and fall of the imperial country was fought hard to achieve success and striving for two thousand years, etc., words that were only used in the major battles that determined the fate of the empire during the Russo-Japanese War. As the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Expeditionary Army and Kenyoshi Ueda, the commander-in-chief of the Kanto Army, both felt the burden on their shoulders was so heavy that it was frighteningly heavy.

Due to this war, Tada Jun, who was almost transferred to the reserve service, was still appointed as the commander of the Central China Front Army. For this reason, Tada Jun assigned the Third Division, the Ninth Division, the 16th Division, and the 101st Division to the Second Field Heavy Artillery Brigade, and advanced across the line towards Xuzhou. The large-scale mobilization of the Japanese army confused the Fifth War Zone, and at the same time, Zhang Xuewu, who was also confused, launched a full-scale offensive in the most inappropriate season and at the least possible time!

The North China Front Army, with the 24th Division, the 25th Division, the 37th Division, the 40th Division, the 6th Brigade of the chariots and the 7th Brigade of the Heavy Artillery as the main force, the Chinese army in Chengde was responsible for cutting off the reinforcements of Chaoyang by Chengde. The 51st Division, the 55th Division, and the 56th Division were also secretly gathering towards Beiping. On the entire Xuzhou Jinpu Road, there were only two divisions of Itagaki Seishiro's troops, and the other brigade of the other brigade were left.

In the early morning of January 26, 1938, Kenyoshi Ueda announced that the strategic purpose of annihilation of the main force of the 10th War Zone of the Chinese Army and destroying its Baotou Industrial Base was implemented. The Japanese seemed to have placed all their hopes on the "Kamikaze" that made them live in suffocation. In the 13th century AD, Kublai Khan planned to conquer Japan with all his might. Unfortunately, he encountered two monsoons in succession, and the offensive plan was set. Japanese Shinto monks called these monsoons kamikaze. They believed that these two monsoons were the result of their prayers to Amaterasu's old rabbit.

In front of the Yasukuni Shrine in Kyudansaka, more than 900 fresh army non-commissioned officers wearing military lieutenants uniforms and commanding knives were lined up in line. In the past, this ceremony was held in front of the Japanese Imperial Palace. Graduated non-commissioned officers received the last militarist indoctrination before walking onto the battlefield. However, this time the location was changed from Zhentian Prefecture to Yasukuni Shrine.

The Japanese have a characteristic, that is, whether good or bad, as long as they are different, they are good. The oaths that were made in Zhentian Prefecture in the past were suddenly changed to the Yasukuni Shrine? This made these non-commissioned and excited. The hands of these young officers who were devoted to serving militarism were tightly held together, and they vowed to die for His Majesty the Emperor.

The actual real reason is that the war is coming, and Emperor Hirohito did not want to be disturbed by himself, so he ordered the temporary change of the place. Except for a few people with excellent grades, this group of graduates will all supplement the Kanto Army and the North China Front Army. Because the combat plan against the main force of the Chinese army's 10th War Zone was regarded by Emperor Hirohito as a battle of national destiny. Whether it can strategically China and consolidate the existing occupied areas depends on whether it can annihilate the main force of the 10th War Zone of the Chinese army and cut off the Soviet aid material channels of Dingyuan Battalion in Suiyuan. As long as the route of Chinese military aid is killed, it will be more effective than adding ten divisions.

On January 27, 1938, the Second Division, the Eighth Division and the Twelfth Division, which were commanded by the Shuli Army, were impatient to carry out the orders of Kwantung Army Commander Kenji Ueda and began to attack the 1st garrison Division of the 10th China War Zone in Chaoyang before the field heavy artillery troops and chariot troops entered the attack launch area.

Although the wind and snow have decreased at this moment, and the temperature has slightly risen to about minus 34 degrees Celsius, for ordinary people, this temperature is still unbearable, especially when the temperature is below minus 20 degrees Celsius, the engine oil that the rifle relies on to maintain lubrication will condense. If the temperature continues to drop below minus 30 degrees Celsius, the oil will freeze. Before the anti-freeze-low temperature oil was invented, the only effective and simple way was to roast the shooting parts of the weapon with fire.

Dai Peng, the colonel of the First Gage Division, is the commander of the main regiment of the Huben Division. He was transferred to serve as the commander of the First Gage Division. Although his position has been promoted, once the Gage Division is converted into a youth army, he can become a genuine major general commander. However, for Dai Peng, who graduated from the Geelyvinia Army School in the United States and has always dreamed of commanding mechanized troops, this is simply a nightmare that can be compared with the weather.

After just taking over as the commander of the First Division of the Chaoyang Governor's Division, Dai Peng, the commander of the security commander, inspected his overall defense zone, was surprised to find that there was an eight-strong jackal light tank in Chaoyang City. There was also a large twelve-wheeled tank trailer. The trailer was covered with thick canvas. The security commander wanted to find out that he had been blocked? (To be continued.
