Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

But as the Eighth Route Army deployed heavy troops on the border between Henan and Hubei provinces, Lao Jiang suddenly realized that the Eighth Route Army in Shaanxi was actually not far from Chongqing where he was.If the opponent launches an attack from behind, he is afraid that it will be really embarrassing.

Even in the border areas, the Central Army has also deployed heavy troops for defense, the purpose is also to worry that the Eighth Route Army will attack from behind.Another purpose of deploying heavy troops is to find an appropriate opportunity to advance into Shaanxi.

Previously, the Eighth Route Army had only protested against the deployment of heavy troops by the Central Army in the area where the two armies bordered. Lao Jiang also appropriately warned some front-line troops not to provoke disputes between the two armies at will.

But even so, Lao Jiang still did not order the withdrawal of those troops deployed in the bordering area.At that time, in order to take the overall situation into consideration, the Eighth Route Army did not pursue too much, but only strengthened the patrols and vigilance in the bordering areas.

As long as the Central Army does not cross the border to provoke trouble, the Eighth Route Army will not protest anything.The troops deployed in those bordering areas are similar to those in other places.This made the Central Army feel that they are still the boss and can still overwhelm the Eighth Route Army.

But no one expected that this time because of the incident of the New 67th Army, the Eighth Route Army would gather heavy troops in these places.How could Lao Jiang believe this excuse when it was said that the troops were moved to defense?

It doesn't matter if you don't believe it, Zhou Enlai also said very clearly: "Chairman, according to the joint resistance agreement we signed before, you first violated the agreement not to deploy heavy troops in the border area between the two sides.

In the past two years, although your troops have not crossed the border to provoke trouble.But according to our investigation, we have sufficient and sufficient evidence to prove that your troops deployed on the front line participated in several attacks on villages in our base area.

In order to keep the overall situation in mind, we have not made these things public.This is not to say that we are really incapable of combating those bandit armed forces that are fleeing into our territory, but that we don't want to do things that make loved ones hurt their enemies and make their enemies happy.

But this time, what you have done to the New 67th Army is really chilling.Our troops went south to cooperate with you in fighting. They have always fought resolutely, achieved great results, and paid a heavy price.

But at this time, in order to protect your troops, you abandoned the New 67th Army in Xinyang for the sake of the overall situation.This is indeed chilling, and it makes our party and our army even more angry.

In view of this situation, we have to suspect that you have an ulterior purpose in deploying heavy troops in the border area.In order to ensure the safety of our Soviet area, we can only take some defensive postures.

In addition, in order to ensure the safety of the border area, we will also conduct a large-scale sweeping operation.As long as your troops don't withdraw, the troops we moved there will not retreat any more.

As for your claim that by doing this, we are undermining the joint anti-Japanese agreement signed by the two parties.Then, at that time, we might as well hold a joint press conference, where everyone can refute it well, and see who is destroying the united front of the War of Resistance! "

After pointing out all the words to this point, Lao Jiang also really realized that the Eighth Route Army has endured humiliation for so long, and now it has some confidence.Compared with his troops fighting less and less, the Eighth Route Army continued to grow and develop behind the enemy lines.

It can be said that, just as Lao Jiang himself guessed, even if they really drive the little devil out of China.Who has the final say in China in the future, I'm afraid they really have to fight hard between the two parties and the two armies.

Just when Lao Jiang felt that the Eighth Route Army dared to threaten him, Zhou Enlai said in a timely manner: "Chairman, our Eighth Route Army moved from the Soviet area in southern Jiangxi to the north, and our goal has always been to resist Japan and save the country, and this will never change.

This time, I can only say that your actions are too chilling.Your army is an army, isn't our army not an army?What's more, the record of the New 67th Army in previous battles is enough to show our sincerity.

Now that your internal affairs have not been resolved, you can plot against us instead. I can only say that your approach is too radical.You should know that this is far from the time when we can let our guard down.

Most importantly, you may not know that you will not be the one who is really happy about your approach, nor will it be those consultants who give you advice.The only ones who are really happy are the aggressors and conspirators.

Regarding the decision of our party and the army, I have also spoken out frankly.As for how to choose, it depends on the chairman's choice.An additional piece of news is presented, Wang Jingwei's representatives are secretly contacting the Japanese army.

I think the chairman should know better than me that once Wang Jingwei really colludes with the Japanese army, it will be a blow to the chairman and the national government.Maybe the chairman also thinks that we can negotiate a peace with Japan.

But I must emphasize that no matter what decision the national government makes, we will resolutely fight to the end.Our Party and the Eighth Route Army do not accept humiliating peace.Any surrender faction will not end well! "

After saying these words, Zhou Enlai did not give Lao Jiang too many opportunities to ask questions, and directly left the presidential residence.Lao Jiang, who learned of this situation, naturally felt ashamed and annoyed on his face.

He was very clear about Zhou Enlai's last message, which was to tell him clearly that the internal affairs of the national government should be dealt with first, and then think about other conspiracies and schemes.Otherwise, the national government will also be infamous for thousands of years.

As for Wang Jingwei's plan to defect to the enemy and seek peace, Lao Jiang naturally received a tip.But what surprised him was that Zhou Enlai had naturally heard about such a confidential matter.

If this kind of news gets out at this time, what will the people think of the national government, and how will they think of him as the chairman of the committee?Lao Jiang couldn't accept such a reputation as a traitor.

When Li Zongren returned to Chongqing to report his duties, Li Zongren also said directly to Lao Jiang's question about the New 67th Army: "At present, Huaibin and Gushi have been captured by the Japanese Third Division, and Xinyang may not be able to defend it. .

Earlier, I followed the chairman's instructions and delayed giving them the order to retreat for three days.Except for Feng Zhi'an, the commander of the 77th Army, who led the remnants to successfully retreat to the Biyang area, the new 67th Army failed to withdraw.

On the way here, although I received some information, I didn't know much about it.After the 77th Army was defeated across the board, the losses of the new 67th Army were also not small.At present, most of their main forces have gone into the mountains to fight guerrillas.

As for Commander He, even though he is still commanding the battles of various troops.But he has made it clear that he will no longer be dispatched by the Central Army in the future and will return to the Eighth Route Army's combat order, but he will continue to stay in Xinyang to deal with the little devils. "

Such words made Lao Jiang somewhat angry.But he knows that the performance of the Eighth Route Army during this period has already explained the attitude of the Eighth Route Army.Unless he dared to tear his face, he had to endure it even if he was angry.

After a while, Lao Jiang said again: "Delin, do you also think my arrangement is wrong?"

"Commissioner, standing in the interests of the party and the country, we have done nothing wrong.But when it comes to matters of national righteousness, we are indeed a bit dishonest.Most importantly, once this incident occurs, there will be no chance for our two militaries to cooperate in the future.

Although the Japanese army is already showing signs of exhaustion, it may be difficult to reverse the current unfavorable situation with our party and army alone.Even if the Japanese army will gather heavy troops to wipe out the Eighth Route Army fighting in the north next time.

Just based on what I know about the Eighth Route Army, the Eighth Route Army is now in full swing, and it may not be so easy for the Japanese army to wipe them out.Such strong support is actually very important to us! '

Even if Li Zongren had a lot of opinions on Lao Jiang, Li Zongren also clearly realized that he was also one of the important members of the national government.If Huaxia is no longer in power by the national government in the future, he will also lose everything he has now.

Perhaps because of this understanding, even if Li Zongren knew that Lao Jiang's decision was inappropriate, he still carried out Lao Jiang's decision.Although it doesn't feel good to lose faith in He Zhengdao, besides being a soldier, he is also a politician.

As a politician, such things as breaking one's trust are nothing to worry about.As long as it can bring benefits and benefits to oneself, betrayal is a normal thing.At this level, Li Zongren doesn't think there is anything wrong with him.

After hearing Li Zongren's words, Lao Jiang felt somewhat uncomfortable.But now that things have happened, if you want to make up for something, you will undoubtedly bow your head to the Eighth Route Army and admit your mistake.

With his majesty as the leader of a country, how could he make such a mistake?Therefore, maintaining this face-to-face and heart-to-heart cooperation may be the best way for Lao Jiang to solve this matter!

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

With the capture of Xuji by the Japanese Third Division, the No.70 Seventh Army was responsible for the defense of the entire area.The front-line troops of the 77th Army, which had already decided to retreat, also retreated from the front line to the mountains for rest.

Although some soldiers of the 77th Army are not very happy to stay in the mountains to avoid the enemy.But these soldiers also knew that if they really went outside the mountain, they might not end well, and the little devil would not let them go easily.

Even if some soldiers think that as long as they take off their military uniforms, maybe the little devils won't bother them.But many recruits heard earlier that the little devils like to capture strong men as coolies, and these coolies are also worse than death.

It's not a good feeling to stay in this mountain, but at least I can save my own life.What's more, they who stayed in the mountains also found that they could at least have enough food every day.With such treatment, what more can they expect from big soldiers like them?

The full retreat of the 77th Army meant that the flanks of He Zhengdao's defense area were wide open.In order to prevent the little devil from breaking through from the flank, He Zhengdao also ordered at the right time that all blocking troops also took refuge in the mountains temporarily.

The real battlefield has moved from the main roads of various counties to the mountainous areas where the roads are relatively remote.The more difficult the road is, the more people and the Eighth Route Army's anti-Japanese troops behind the enemy lines will be.

Knowing that the New 67th Army, which has been resolutely blocking, also abandoned the blocking position they guarded, Fujita felt a little regretful, and could only order the troops to start accepting the Huaibin City abandoned by the Eighth Route Army.

Looking at the county town where the entire Tenth Division was annihilated, the city walls that were damaged by earlier battles can still be seen.The only regret is that the abandoned Huaibin City looks desolate and quiet at the moment.

Fujita Susumu, who transferred the headquarters from Funan to Huaibin, the first thing he did when he arrived in Huaibin was to appear in a valley outside the city.The reason for coming here is that the troops who took over Huaibin found a place to bury the corpses.

After the Tenth Division was encircled and wiped out earlier, the Japanese army sent special personnel to find out where the bodies of those soldiers were buried by the Eighth Route Army.And this valley is where the corpses are buried.

Looking at the highly decomposed bones, many soldiers in charge of the excavation were nauseated and vomited by Kaoru.Even Fujita Shin, who arrived here, felt that the valley looked gloomy, and there was an unpleasant smell in the air.

Although he also felt disgusted, Fujita Susumu still said: "Baga! They insulted the remains of our warriors like this! More than 2 people were buried in such a narrow valley, it's too abominable!"

On the other hand, the chief of staff who accompanied the inspection smiled wryly and said, "General, the clean-up work in the past two days has caused hundreds of people to have fever and cough symptoms to varying degrees. Can this kind of clean-up work be done by others?"

'Who will do it?Let those imperial association troops clean up the remains and let them see the embarrassing end of our warriors?Find the people in China to clean up, so we need to be able to find the people.Now, do we have to find someone? '

In Fujita Jin's view, he knew that cleaning up so many corpses was a very headache.But he also knew that if he could bring the bodies of these fallen soldiers back to the country for burial, he would also receive many honors.

Although he still has a lot of troops from the Imperial Association Army, he doesn't want these Imperial Association Army to see their miserable end.After all, almost none of the excavated bodies were well preserved.

It was not that the Eighth Route Army destroyed the corpses of these little devils, but that these corpses had been buried for nearly a month, and many of them had rotted away.The most unbearable thing for the excavation team was that many corpses were piled up in one pit.
