Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

My seat, this time the little devils assembled more than 30 elites to prepare to attack Wuhan.If the Eighth Route Army can be transferred, we can definitely send them to the front line and let them fight against the elite of the little devils.

Central China has always been our control area.As long as they come, they must accept our command.If they can win, I believe it will be of great help to us to hold on to Wuhan, and it will also help to enhance our reputation at that time.

If they can't fulfill our orders, then we can deal with them with military law, and let the common people know that the Eighth Route Army is actually a paper tiger and can't deal with the elite of the little devils at all.

Whether it is victory or defeat, it is beneficial to the party-state.Moreover, by transferring them to our theater, we can also observe closely how strong the combat effectiveness of these Eighth Route Army is now, so that we can understand their real combat effectiveness.

The intelligence officer's words made Old Jiang think thoughtfully: "I'm afraid you didn't come up with this suggestion, did you? You people! However, I will seriously consider your suggestion.

It's just that you don't underestimate the ability of the Eighth Route Army on the propaganda front, let alone forget that the Eighth Route Army now has the power to fight independently.If you want to call them to join the war, you only need a paper order, but there are also a lot of cumbersome things.

We only have the right to suggest, not to order, which troops to transfer and where to go.And with their wisdom, wouldn't they fail to see what we were up to?Let me think carefully about this matter again! "

Faced with the intelligence officer applying eye drops again, Lao Jiang also knew very well that this was the instigation of some generals in the military.After several battles, many elite troops of the Central Army suffered heavy losses, which made these generals feel distressed.

Now that the Eighth Route Army is developing rapidly in the Northwest, they are naturally a little jealous.But for Lao Jiang, he knew very well that the Eighth Route Army at this moment was no longer the Red Army that arrived in northern Shaanxi at the beginning of the year.

The Red Army who marched into northern Shaanxi on the Long March made him somewhat worried.Now on the surface, the Eighth Route Army has ten main divisions, how can they control it at will?

He knew that the Eighth Route Army did not dare to destroy the unified anti-Japanese front at will. As the commander-in-chief of the Republic of China and the supreme commander of the Central Army, how could Lao Jiang not know that a complete fallout with the Eighth Route Army would be of no benefit to the National Government? ?

After all, Lao Jiang also knew in his heart that the biggest enemy facing him right now was actually the Japanese army.If he can't resist the Japanese attack, he or the Eighth Route Army may become a subjugated slave.

Although he was very worried, taking advantage of the opportunity of the War of Resistance, the Eighth Route Army took the opportunity to grow stronger, and eventually the tail was too big to get rid of.But compared to becoming a subjugated slave, Lao Jiang still feels that the most urgent thing is to protect the family and the country.

And as far as the current situation is concerned, the Central Army has achieved good results in several battles.But there is one thing that Lao Jiang is still worried about.That is, he also cannot fully control these troops.

Even when dealing with those generals who resisted passively, Lao Jiang sometimes had a lot of worries when he wanted to deal with them.This situation does not exist in the Eighth Route Army.This may be the reason why the Eighth Route Army can develop rapidly in the Northwest.

Just when the Central Army began to deploy troops to deal with the peripheral battles of the Wuhan battle that had already started.The advance detachment of the Dabie Mountains sent by He Zhengdao has arrived in the Dabie Mountains area in a low-key manner and joined a local guerrilla group.

Even if the advance detachment is only the size of a main battalion, in fact the advance detachment does not stay in one place.On the contrary, according to He Zhengdao's order, the advance detachment was divided into several small units to carry out activities and reconnaissance in the Dabie Mountains area.

For the arrival of the advance detachment, the guerrillas who insisted on guerrilla warfare in the local area were very happy.The main force sent a small unit, which shows that it attaches great importance to the guerrilla struggle in the Dabie Mountains.

This also means that guerrillas operating locally can also have more room for development.Even in the upcoming war of resistance that may come, save more hope for life.

At this moment, He Zhengdao, who has completed the expansion of the army, ordered the troops to hurry up and complete the training after the expansion, and also pay attention to the enemy situation in Wuhan, and prepare for the possible participation in the war.

Just when the Eighth Route Army felt that the Central Army might not send them to Wuhan for the battle.Zhou Enlai, who was far away in Chongqing, finally sent a telegram, and the government officially sent a notice, hoping to deploy the new 67th Army to participate in the battle.

Seeing this telegram, Mao Taizu and Boss Zhu couldn't help sighing, it seems that He Zhengdao guessed it right again!to be continued

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

As the main offensive and defensive area of ​​the Eighth Route Army, the current situation in the North China battlefield is generally calm.It's just that many people know that the little devil is the one who doesn't want to suffer, and after all, he wants revenge.

The Eighth Route Army, which is currently rising in the northwest, seems to be very powerful.Even in the eyes of many people, the Eighth Route Army has dominated the form of resistance in the north.But in fact, the Eighth Route Army also has opponents to worry about.

This opponent is the Kwantung Army that has already gone south once. If the Kwantung Army goes south in a big way, it must be very difficult for the Eighth Route Army to withstand the joint suppression of the Kwantung Army and the North China Front Army.

It is this kind of hidden worry that makes the Eighth Route Army, which has a slight advantage in confronting the North China Front Army, also dare not make a large-scale recovery of lost ground.The reason is that they are afraid that the Japanese army will be angered and asked to send a large number of Kwantung Army out of the customs to participate in the war.

This situation, as the national government, is naturally aware of it.Even if they kept preaching that the Eighth Route Army attacked and harassed the enemy's rear, they rarely dared to confront the Japanese army head-on.But in fact, the Eighth Route Army contained the Japanese army in North China to a large extent.

Although Lao Jiang's combat command level is not very good, he still has some judgments in his heart about the overall form of the domestic war of resistance.He knew very well that the Eighth Route Army's containment of the Japanese army in North China was equally important to the national war of resistance.

At present, they are fighting less and less in the south, and the elite troops are also fighting less and less. The idea of ​​the generals below wanting to call the Eighth Route Army to participate in the war is also understandable to Lao Jiang.

After all, in the eyes of many Central Army generals, they are the real main force of the War of Resistance.Whether it is the Sichuan Army, the Gui Army, or other local troops, even if they are wiped out, they will not feel any distress.

Although the two parties are currently in a joint war of resistance, it is well known that the Eighth Route Army has become stronger and stronger, and its territory has become bigger and bigger.Under such circumstances, it is completely understandable for them to worry that the Eighth Route Army will become the biggest opponent in the future.

At least as far as many direct-line generals of the Central Army are concerned, they all understand that there will inevitably be a war between the two parties in the future.As for the establishment of a coalition government advocated by the Eighth Route Army, Lao Jiang, who is accustomed to centralization, would definitely not agree.

Then let Lao Jiang be the commander-in-chief of the future coalition government, how could the Eighth Route Army agree?At present, the two parties are united in the war of resistance. Although Lao Jiang is the commander-in-chief in name, in fact the Eighth Route Army still manages its own affairs.

Once the strength of the Eighth Route Army grows and it has the capital to compete with the Central Army, there will inevitably be struggles between the two parties over the right to lead the country.At that time, it will undoubtedly be very unfavorable to the Central Army, which suffered great losses in the War of Resistance.

It is understandable that Lao Jiang would be entangled in the overall form of the country's war of resistance on the one hand, and his own little abacus on the other.But when the Wuhan battle started, a piece of news made Lao Jiang feel that the opportunity might be ripe.

The Soviet Far East Army and the Japanese Kwantung Army finally started a war.Although it was not a large-scale battle, the exchange of fire between the two parties meant that it was unlikely that the Kwantung Army would go out to fight in a short period of time.This means that the Eighth Route Army does not need to reserve too many troops in the north.

In view of this situation, Lao Jiang sent someone to find Zhou Enlai, who was in charge of the Chongqing office, and formally expressed the hope that the Eighth Route Army could send the main force to participate in the battle in Wuhan.Lao Jiang believed that the Eighth Route Army would not be able to refuse such a request at this time.

Director Zhou, you should have heard about the recent Soviet-Japanese war on the northeast border, right? '

The war between the Soviet Union and Japan that Lao Jiang talked about was actually a military conflict between Japan and the Soviet Union around the two highlands of Zhanggufeng and Shacaofeng.It can even be said that this is also a war between the puppet Manchuria and the Soviet Far East Army.

But now everyone knows that the so-called puppet Manchuria is actually a puppet supported by the Japanese army.Isn't robbing the territory of Manchukuo the same as robbing the territory of the Kwantung Army?How could such a move be tolerated by the Kwantung Army?

Even if the Japanese government knows that it is not appropriate to start a dispute with the Soviet Far East Army under such circumstances.But for the Kwantung Army stationed in the Northeast, they themselves are troops established to fight the Soviet Far East Army.

If they don't fight, how can they prove their strength?The result is very natural. What was originally a matter of grabbing each other's territory eventually turned into a battlefield where the Soviet Far East Army and the Kwantung Army showed off their muscles.

Compared with the outbreak of the "Zhang Gufeng Incident" in history, the battle in Wuhan has reached a critical moment.This incident is still happening today, and the Japanese army's attack on Wuhan has not yet reached a critical moment.

But for the Soviet Far East Army, they felt that at this time, Riba didn't have too many troops, so they dared to show off their muscles.The ambition of the Soviet Far East Army for the Northeast is also well known.

If it is said that Japan has invaded the Northeast, it will make Huaxia very angry and helpless.Then the Soviet Union is undoubtedly the second candidate who most opposes the Kwantung Army's occupation of the Northeast.After all, during the Qing Dynasty, they were the ones with the greatest interests in the Northeast.

Faced with Lao Jiang's question, Zhou Enlai nodded readily and said, "Chairman, we already know about this matter. However, judging from the current situation, this is just a border conflict, right?"

Regarding Zhou Enlai's answer, Lao Jiang shook his head and said: "It seems to be a conflict around a disputed area, but Director Zhou should know that the Kwantung Army and the Korean Army will not sit idly by. of.

According to what we have learned, the Kwantung Army has decided to expel the Soviet troops currently occupying Zhanggufeng.Moreover, the Soviet Union also detected that the Kwantung Army was preparing for a major war, and it also continued to send troops to the area.

Of course, I didn't come to you today to discuss this matter with you.What's more, I still feel that after the outbreak of this incident, I believe that the Kwantung Army should not have the energy to take care of the war in North China in a short period of time.

Now surrounding the upcoming war in Wuhan, I believe Director Zhou should also know something about it.Once Wuhan falls, it will undoubtedly be very unfavorable to our anti-Japanese situation.In this case, can your army send troops to fight? "

In fact, neither Zhou Enlai nor Lao Jiang knew about it.He Zhengdao realized it when he received the "Zhang Gufeng Conflict".Why did the Kwantung Army not mobilize too many troops to participate in the war of resistance when the war of resistance was so fierce.

The reason must be that they have always felt that the Soviet Far East Army was a threat.When they signed a 'non-aggression' pact with the USSR.Under the leadership of the Japanese Navy, they have launched a war of aggression and colonization across Asia.

Under such circumstances, it seems reasonable that the main force of the Kwantung Army was transferred to the Asian War one after another, and it did not participate too much in the war with the Chinese Anti-Japanese Forces.But He Zhengdao felt that the staging of this conflict as scheduled meant that the pressure on them was greatly reduced.

If one were to choose a unit among the Eighth Route Army that would truly confront the Kwantung Army head-on, it would undoubtedly be the independent column commanded by He Zhengdao.After all, their current defense zone is closest to the jurisdiction of the Kwantung Army.

After receiving the notification forwarded by the Central Committee, He Zhengdao said to Luo Ruiqing: "Chief of Staff, order the troops to prepare for battle. This time a conflict broke out between the Soviet Union and Japan, I am afraid that we will also prepare for battle."

Hearing this, Luo Ruiqing also said in a timely manner: "Do you want to take this opportunity to recover Zhangjiakou?"

Perhaps the troops were about to complete their reorganization, but they still hadn't received an order from the Central Army to recruit them to participate in the battle. Luo Ruiqing also felt that the reorganization of the troops was completed, and they should fight a battle to test their combat effectiveness.

At present, the Kwantung Army's attention is being held back by the Soviet Far East Army. They can indeed concentrate their main forces and try to regain Zhangjiakou.If Zhangjiakou can be recovered, it will be extremely beneficial to the Eighth Route Army.

To Luo Ruiqing's surprise, He Zhengdao shook his head and said, "The time is not yet ripe for the recovery of Zhangjiakou. At least as far as the current situation is concerned, it is not appropriate for us to start a big war, and we will pay more attention to the establishment of base areas behind the enemy.
