1227 The situation of being beaten if you fall behind is gone forever.
…
The Japanese army mobilized nearly 150,000 elite troops to launch an offensive against the Tang Keqin Group Army in central Henan. It ended with the victory of the Eighth Route Army and the Tang Keqin Group Army in a battle against the Japanese army in northern Henan.
The gains gained by the Japanese after breaking through the defense line in central Henan were ultimately ruined in the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Northern Henan.
The once rampant and arrogant Kwantung Holy War Army led by Yamashita Tombumi suffered heavy losses.
More than half of the armored vehicles and tanks belonging to Old Japanese Inoue's armored force were also damaged.
So far.
The Japanese army launched a series of battles against Western Hubei, Hengyang, Changde, Guiliu and other areas, and achieved a series of victories. It can be said that they suffered a complete defeat in Northern Henan.
It’s really like going back to before liberation in one night!
On this vast land of China, Chiang Kai-shek's army was retreating steadily, although it disappointed the 40 million people. It also shocked the countries that supported Chiang's army, including the United Kingdom, the United States, and the Soviet Union.
But a new star is rising!
The Eighth Route Army achieved a series of victories on the battlefield behind enemy lines, especially the first major victory in the frontal battle in northern Henan, which was led by the Eighth Route Army.
Official declaration to the world:
On the Sino-Japanese battlefield, in addition to the Chiang Kai-shek troops on the frontal battlefield, our Eighth Route Army troops on the battlefield behind enemy lines cannot be underestimated, and they are enough to severely damage the Chinese anti-Japanese armed forces of the Japanese invaders.
In the various channels of publicity to the outside world, including the announcement of radio signals to the international community, the Eighth Route Army made a firm statement:
"Anyone who dares to bully our Chinese nation, anyone who dares to accuse our country, and anyone who dares to infringe upon the interests of our Chinese nation will be regarded as enemies by all the soldiers and civilians of our Eighth Route Army, and they will fight resolutely and fight to the death!"
It is said.
After receiving this declaration from the Eighth Route Army, the principal was silent in the office for a long time.
His mood can be said to be mixed.
But the final order was issued, and the Nationalist Government also released a declaration not long after, and the content of this declaration was more consistent with the Eighth Route Army's declaration:
"Anyone who dares to bully our Chinese nation, anyone who dares to accuse our country, and anyone who dares to infringe upon the interests of our Chinese nation will be regarded as enemies by all the soldiers and civilians of our National Revolutionary Army, and they will fight resolutely and fight to the death!"
In the headquarters of the Special Experimental Zone, Kong Jie said with a smile: "The content of the chairman's declaration is really simple and clear. To put it bluntly, it is just two words, 'same as above', haha!"
Ding Wei smiled and echoed: "It's rare for the chairman of the Generalissimo to be so sensible. Our Eighth Route Army and Chiang Kai-shek's army issued these two declarations one after another, which can demonstrate the determination of our Chinese military and civilians to resolutely resist foreign humiliation and fight against the enemy!"
If Chiang Kai-shek and our Eighth Route Army are on one side, it will be enough for the enemy to take notice. When we join forces, brothers will no longer be at the wall.
Is there any other enemy that can bully China?"
"What Lao Ding said is good. If the Chairman could understand this truth, our war of resistance against Japan might not be so difficult!" Li Yunlong then expressed his opinion.
Then let’s talk about this battle in northern Henan.
Ding Wei said: "After this war, the Japanese army can be said to be exhausted, and we have also spent a lot of money. After the war, both sides will probably need a period of time to recuperate and reorganize their armies to fight again.
In the next period of time, it is estimated that the two sides will not have any large-scale wars.
I can breathe a sigh of relief and have a good rest for a while."
Kong Jie nodded: "According to our strategic plan, it will indeed take some time to prepare for the second phase of deployment.
But our speed must be fast. We must be the first to complete the rest and reorganization of the troops before the Japanese troops are recuperated and reorganize, and take the initiative to launch an offensive against the Japanese army. We must not allow the Japanese troops to completely recover."
Li Yunlong said happily: "Just wait and see, after our Iron Triangle Army advances to Guandong, this little devil will have nightmares every day!"
Lao Li's topic always changed quickly. As he spoke, he changed the topic and suddenly asked again:
"Lao Kong, have you chosen a name for your son?"
Kong Jie was stunned for a moment. We were discussing military affairs. Why did he suddenly mention his son?
But when he thought of his son who was not yet one month old, Kong Jie couldn't help but reveal a fatherly smile. The years were blurry. Since he appeared in this world, even though there are so many old comrades around him, and there are so many incomparable
Real experience, I even married my wife.
But deep down in his heart he is ultimately lonely, a kind of loneliness that has no fundamental connection with the world, a kind of loneliness that cannot be told to any outsider.
Until this moment, it comes from the resonance of blood.
Kong Jie truly experienced the sense of reality that comes from establishing an initial connection with the world.
Perhaps this is the importance of heirs!
Kong Jie shook his head: "I haven't chosen a nickname yet, but I have decided on a nickname for now. Since we are soldiers and he is a descendant of a soldier, my wife and I have also discussed it. Let's call it Junjun.
!”
After hearing this, Li Yunlong shook his head: "Old Kong, I would say that your name is really not very good. I have to say that you have been studying cultural knowledge over the years and have a lot of ink in your belly. Why did you choose this name?"
Where’s the name?”
Kong Jie said in surprise: "Hey, Lao Li, so you have a good idea?"
Li Yunlong immediately puffed up his chest and said with confidence:
"When it comes to names, I, Li Yunlong, am a professional. The name I chose is catchy and yet domineering. Needless to say, it's awesome."
"What's it called?"
"My nickname is mortar, my big name is Kong Missile. Listen, this name is so domineering. It sounds like we are a soldier. Lao Kong, if you ask me, my godson should be named like this!"
Kong Jie: "..."
Ding Wei: "..."
"No, what are you looking at? What a nice name! If you don't like it, I have something else! Let's change the nickname!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Howitzer?
Rocket launcher?
Cantaloupe grenade? No, cantaloupe, cantaloupe is a nice name, why not just call it cantaloupe?
The tortoise box is also..."
"Bah, Li Yunlong, your son is about to be born. I think you should leave these good names of yours to your son!" Kong Jie immediately interrupted Li Yunlong's words. This old Li was getting more and more outrageous.
Ha ha ha ha--
The three old comrades burst into laughter in an instant.
After laughing for a long time, Li Yunlong suddenly glared, looked at Ding Wei and said: "I said Lao Ding, Lao Kong and I were joking because we have sons and we have a common topic. Why are you, a bachelor, joining in the fun here?"
?”
Ding Wei: "..."
"Old Li, back then we were all brothers who came from the kang, and we were all the same heroes who were beaten by bachelors. Now that you are full, you are laughing at me. Have you forgotten that we were brothers who were in trouble together?
Besides, with your two babies, you still can’t tell whether the baby in your wife’s belly is a son or a daughter! If it’s a girl, I wonder where you’re going to cry?”
"Ah, what our old Li gave birth to must be a son. If it were really a daughter, hehe, we would still like her! She is better than you, old Ding, who is still a bachelor now!" Li Yunlong teased.
Ding Wei angrily cursed, "This bastard Lao Li is staring at his old scars and he's not done yet."
"Speaking of which, Lao Kong, what name are you planning to give your son?"
Ding Wei changed the topic wisely.
Kong Jie thought for a while and said: "We have been fighting against the Japs for so many years. We soldiers have shed our lives and blood on the front line. In the final analysis, we are doing it for the independence of the nation and for building a new and prosperous China.
This is a scenic sight that tens of millions of us people dream of seeing.
The child is our descendant and the hope we place on him. He should carry such a dream. I think it is better to call him Kong Xinguo! Look at a brand new China in the distance!"
Ding Wei said: "This is a good name. Unlike Lao Li, except for the army, I can't think of any other words!"
Li Yunlong on the side rolled his eyes and continued: "Haha, Lao Kong, our old comrades have been fighting side by side for so many years. Now that we have a son, we should work together in the same trench.
Since your son’s name is Kong Xinguo, I’ve decided to call my son Li Shengguo. I wish the motherland prosperity!”
Ding Wei also suddenly came up with an idea: "If you two sons are put together, the prosperity will come out. Then I will join in the fun. If I have a son in the future, I will call him Ding Zhonghua. This Zhonghua
Xingsheng just makes a string!"
"You're still a bachelor!" Li Yunlong said.
Ding Wei: "..."
Finally got back to the topic again.
With the help of the map in front of us, we can discuss the strategic deployment of the second phase.
Kong Jie concluded: "After this war, from a clear perspective, both the Japanese army and our Eighth Route Army, including Chiang Kai-shek's troops, will have to enter a long period of recuperation.
We can just build the plank road openly and visit the warehouse secretly.
On the one hand, we continued to launch some small-scale offensives from time to time in North China, including Central and South China, to contain the Japanese troops in the Pass. In particular, the Kwantung Army that moved south to the Pass must not allow them to return to the Kanto.
On the other hand, our real main force can officially set off, secretly heading to the western Mongolian region first, preparing to launch attacks in the direction of Chahar and Xilingol, Chengde, Chifeng, and Hailar in the eastern direction of Mongolia.
Then they pulled out the Kwantung Army's border garrison in the Greater Khingan Mountains, and then attacked the Heilongjiang area in Northern Manchuria all the way through the Greater Khingan Mountains.
The other way can be to attack Hecheng through the middle part of the outer Xing'an Mountains."
Speaking of this, Kong Jie's eyes revealed expectations, as if he had seen the dawn of the situation reaching that point, "If the offensive in these stages goes smoothly, even if we cannot force the Kwantung Army to collapse immediately, we can stabilize it at the earliest."
Heel, entered into a confrontation with the Kwantung Army in the area outside the Pass, and gradually strengthened its troops until it could launch a strategic counterattack and defeat the Kwantung Army in one fell swoop."
The environment at this time was extremely favorable to the Eighth Route Army.
First, since 1942, the Japanese army's advantage on the Pacific battlefield has turned from its original advantage to a disadvantage, and its original offensive position has turned into a passive defensive one.
The balance of war has gradually become unbalanced.
In order to survive and withstand the pressure of the Pacific battlefield, the Japanese army could only continuously draw elite troops from China, especially the territory of Kanto.
The Kwantung Army sent reinforcements to the Pacific battlefield, resulting in a rapid reduction of the Kwantung Army's elite and a sharp decline in combat effectiveness.
At this time, the Kwantung Army stationed outside the Pass was no longer as powerful as it had been in previous years.
Maybe it's just a paper tiger that can be broken with just one poke.
Coupled with the series of operations carried out by the Eighth Route Army within the Pass, the Kwantung Army was forced to continuously mobilize reinforcements to North and Central China.
After the Japanese army suffered a disastrous defeat in the Battle of Northern Henan.
The losses of the Kwantung Army were considerable. The elite jihadi army and armored divisions, as well as the reinforced aviation units, all suffered heavy losses.
To sum it up in one of Kong Jie’s words: “The current Kwantung Army has probably long ago become a powerful force on the outside.”
As for the frontline work to advance into Kanto, Kong Jie had already started preparations as early as a year or two ago, especially the advance development of intelligence.
So far, it has been very effective. The Eighth Route Army has secretly established many intelligence networks in Guandong.
With the help of this information, Kong Jie and other generals were able to make an analysis: "With the continuous transfer of the elite Kwantung Army to the Pacific battlefield, the transfer of mobile elites to the Kwantung, coupled with the recruitment of a large number of new soldiers, the army has long been inferior to what it used to be.
Perhaps even the second-rate Japanese army in the pass cannot compare.
There is also the policy of merging villages into villages, which has led to the over-concentration of the Kwantung Army's forces. As long as our intersecting troops can break in and take advantage of the mobile troops, isn't it possible to hit them with precision?"
"Perhaps when the final battle begins, it will be smoother than we imagined!"
"Of course, when the specific plan is launched, we will definitely launch several active offensives in North and Central China. It is best to destroy the Japanese and puppet troops in North and Central China in one fell swoop. On the one hand, the Japanese and puppet troops in the pass will be overwhelmed. On the other hand, maybe
It can also force more Kwantung Army to deploy into the territory.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The pressure on us to advance into Kanto will be further weakened."
Ding Wei is convinced of this: "Our participating troops will definitely be indispensable by then.
Commander Fu's troops, the Yanbei Detachment, the Daqingshan Detachment, the Mongolian Western Guerrilla Corps, the Northern Advance Detachment, the Hebei Reliao Base Area, Jizhong Hebei, South Hebei, and Shandong armies, including the 129th Division and the 120th Division have returned to the four divisions long ago.
A main brigade, as well as our Iron Triangle Army.
I'm afraid I can form several echelons in one breath and advance one after another."
Li Yunlong said: "In any case, the vanguard that takes the lead in advancing into Guandong must be our Iron Triangle Army."
Kong Jie also put his mind to the international aspect.
"How about we contact Britain, the United States and other allies after we launch our deployment to Kanto? I think they will be happy to help!"
Ding Weile said: "That's for sure. With such a big piece of cake in Guandong, the British and American sides will definitely want to get involved. Even if they can't get involved, they will never watch Su Fang win first in Jinshui Tower.
Get involved."
Kong Jie said: "Then let's see how our Tai Chi goes.
We just need to retain one principle: we can ask for reinforcements from the Allied countries such as the United Kingdom, the United States, and the Soviet Union, but the premise is limited, and it can only be some assault troops.
Kantung is our fundamental interest as China, and even if they are allies, if they try to influence us, we will never be polite to them!"
Li Yunlong said: "That's for sure. We have the final say on our territory. Who dares to say anything?"
This is said with great confidence.
From what?
It originated from the absolute self-confidence of the Eighth Route Army troops in defeating the Japanese invaders militarily, far from the foundation brought about by the stability and rapid development of the Eighth Route Army's major base areas.
