848 The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard!
…………
Japan's war against China is not over yet.
Suddenly, as if his head was hot, he ran to attack the US Pearl Harbor again. This time, it was like poking an ant's nest, directly pushing the huge US war machine into the hostile side.
Do you think the little devil is stupid?
My head is burnt and confused, and the birthday girl keeps hanging himself. Do you think you have a long life?
In fact, this is not the case. The little devil is very clear in his heart. This is the best solution out of desperation.
On the eve of the outbreak of the Pacific War, Japan's domestic economy was almost in decline. Coupled with the war against China, the rate of domestic military expenditures continued to skyrocket, which made Japan's economy even worse.
Japan is a small country with a lack of local resources. While it is particularly dependent on countries, mainly the United States, to import oil, rubber and other military supplies, the United States has directly banned the export of these military supplies.
Suddenly it was stuck in the throat, strangling the lifeblood.
The Japanese can only find a way to change all this, even if it is a desperate move.
They knew very well that if they attacked Pearl Harbor, the Japanese army would be defeated in the future.
Without the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, Japan might have been defeated by now!
I'm afraid the Anti-Japanese War will not last until 45 years before it ends, maybe it will be over in 1942 or 43 years.
The sneak attack on Pearl Harbor actually achieved the expected strategic purpose to a large extent for the Japanese army.
This greatly delayed the Japanese army's launch of a war of aggression and eventual defeat.
After the Pearl Harbor incident broke out, the U.S. military was caught off guard and fell into a defensive state for a long period of time.
The Japanese army took the opportunity to conquer Southeast Asian countries in one fell swoop, took the opportunity to invade and expand, and quickly replenished the war machine's demand for oil.
Only then did the Japanese have a chance to survive.
In fact, when the Sino-Japanese War broke out, the Japanese army put forward the slogan of destroying China in three months. On the one hand, it was to boost the morale of the three armies and combat the anti-Japanese sentiment of the Chinese army.
On the other hand, it stems from Japan’s national conditions.
Japan has a small land area and very limited domestic resources. Once it starts a war, it will be dragged into a long-term war.
There are too many factors that may change at any time, which may easily lead to the large amount of imported materials that the Japanese army relies on to launch the war being restricted by various countries, thus leading to the forced failure of the war.
Therefore, whether it is to save resources or to reduce the impact of changing factors on the outcome of the war.
The Japanese all want to decide the outcome with China in the shortest possible time.
In other words, Japan is actually a fast shooter.
Later, the Songhu War broke out, and the tenacious fighting will of Chinese officers and soldiers in the anti-invasion battle completely bankrupted the Japanese army's three-month dream of annihilating China.
In fact, from that time on, Japanese scholars with a long-term perspective believed that:
The Japanese army failed to destroy China in three months. This aggressive war against China will eventually fail.
The reason why the stalemate continues on the Chinese battlefield is that the Japanese are unwilling to give in, and the Japanese want to maximize the benefits of this war to Japan through continued aggression.
Until the United States restricted the export of oil and various military supplies to Japan.
The profits the little devils gained from the invasion of China are no longer worth the consumption of foreign imports. This is called making ends meet.
If the fight continues, even if the Japanese army is not defeated, they will die of poverty!
Naturally, the Japanese soldiers at the bottom would not understand these truths.
But the high-level Japanese officers knew this very well.
For example, the Japanese troops stationed in the headquarters of the First Shanxi Army in Taiyuan City.
The commander of the Japanese First Army, Yoshio Shinozuka, and the Chief of Staff Kitagawa, these two old Japanese saw this matter very clearly.
Speaking of the sudden outbreak of the Pacific War, the Japanese army was even forced to fight on two fronts.
The two old devils also looked sad and sighing.
Beichuan's eyes were filled with worry, "General, there is a Chinese idiom called drinking poison to quench thirst."
He smiled self-deprecatingly, "Now it seems that our army's attack on Pearl Harbor is very similar to this idiom!"
Yoshio Shinozuka was noncommittal.
He said: "What can you do when you are particularly thirsty? At least the thirst problem is solved!"
The heavy topic made the two old devils tacitly choose not to continue.
The two discussed the current combat situation between the Japanese Army and the Eighth Route Army in North China.
Beichuan, the Japanese chief of staff, who was well aware of the Sino-Japanese war situation in North China, said seriously: "General, the U.S. is far more powerful than the National Government. After the Pacific War breaks out, I think it will soon become our great nation."
The main battlefield of imperial warfare.
Even the war against China has to give way and become a second-line battlefield.
As for the large number of areas occupied by our army in China, they can even be called the rear area of the main battlefield.
Once the Pacific War becomes intense, our military's operations in China will inevitably be affected, and elites may have to be continuously transferred to the Pacific War.
This will inevitably weaken the strength of our troops fighting in China.
From this perspective, I think that before the Pacific War has completely intensified, it is very likely that we will finally have the opportunity to concentrate our forces and destroy the Eighth Route Army troops in the occupied areas in one fell swoop."
Yoshio Shinozuka nodded: "You are absolutely right. Just half a day ago, His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief and I had a phone call.
He made it clear on the phone that in order to ensure that our army gains an advantage in the outbreak of the Pacific War, ensure the security of the rear area, and ensure that there are no worries on the main battlefield.
After the outbreak of the Pacific War, our North China Front should focus more on the security of the occupied areas, especially on attacking and annihilating the Eighth Route Army troops on the edge of the occupied areas.
In order to cooperate with the main battlefield in the Pacific, our North China Front Army will prepare a large-scale mopping up plan to wipe out the Eighth Route Army troops in the occupied area in one fell swoop and completely stabilize the security in the rear area.
So that this vast occupied area can become the logistics supply warehouse for the main battlefield."
After hearing this, Beichuan breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the superior commander had also taken this into consideration, "In that case, I am relieved. Your Excellency, the Commander-in-Chief is indeed wise!"
Following this topic, the two old devils then used the combat map of the Sino-Japanese situation in the entire Shanxi area to study the future large-scale mopping up plan against the Eighth Route Army.
……
……
A team headquarters.
Coincidentally, the two old Japanese, Yoshio Shinozuka and Kitagawa, were studying the situation of the outbreak of the Pacific War.
Kong Jie, who was holding the phone, also discussed this matter with Lu Dayou, the leader of the 28th Regiment.
Now that the 28th regiment and the first team have opened the transportation channel early and have connected the phone, the communication between Kong Jie and Captain Lu is much more convenient.
Speaking of the outbreak of the Pacific War.
Lu Dayou said: "Lao Kong, what does this mean?
This shows that the situation in the Sino-Japanese War is undergoing tremendous changes.
Of course, the advantage is reversing towards our Chinese army.
In recent years, with the development of our Chinese army, especially our Eighth Route Army, it is obvious that the little devil is unable to succeed and is about to die.
As a result, this little devil poked the U.S. side in the eye again, forcing him to fight on two fronts.
Now the pressure on our war against Japan will definitely be reduced a lot, and the future combat situation will definitely be clearer!
I’m afraid the little devil has too much time to take care of himself now! How can he still care about our base area?”
However, is this really the case?
Kong Jie instantly thought of the May Day raids launched by the Japanese army against the Jizhong Military Region that broke out not long after.
As the 28th Regiment in the Central Hebei Military Region that has developed the best recently, it will definitely bear the brunt.
No matter whether the Pacific War breaks out or not, as the Eighth Route Army troops behind enemy lines, they will still face strong Japanese forces, and the enemy is still strong and we are weak.
Blind optimism at this time is not a good thing.
One of the reasons why the May Day raids caused heavy casualties in the Central Hebei Military Region was that some Eighth Route Army cadres misjudged the revolutionary situation and were blindly optimistic.
"Lao Lu, who said these words?"
Kong Jie's suddenly heightened tone made Captain Lu on the other end of the phone realize the seriousness of the topic.
Commander Lu did not hide anything and replied: "During the meeting yesterday, the commander asked the commanders of each regiment to express their opinions on the Pacific War that broke out when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor.
That's what some group leaders said.
As soon as this analysis came out, the atmosphere of the meeting became much more relaxed, and everyone felt that the burden on their shoulders was relieved.
We have been fighting against the Japs for these years, and we have been careful not to make any mistakes. Now that the Japanese army is at war with the United States, our cadres feel that the pressure is much less..."
"Confusion, this is blind optimism, it will only harm ourselves!"
On the other end of the phone, Kong Jie was very angry and interrupted Lu Dayou's unfinished words.
"Old Kong, why do you say that?" Lu Dayou asked in surprise. This was the first time he felt Kong Jie's anger.
Lao Kong, who had always been calm and calm even in the face of a large-scale raid by the Japanese army, now showed anger.
Kong Jie said: "The ancients paid attention to being prepared for danger in times of peace. It's better for us now. The war is not over yet, and we are already thinking about times of danger.
It is good for our army to carry forward revolutionary optimism, but this requires attention to the object. What should be optimistic is the spirit of hardship, the spirit of dedication, and the spirit of belief.
Rather than making a blindly optimistic judgment about the current situation!
It doesn’t matter if it’s the Pacific War or the Atlantic War.
This does have something to do with our Eighth Route Army, but it has nothing to do with it.
Could it be that as soon as the Pacific War broke out, the little devils on the Chinese battlefield surrendered?
After all, it is up to us to eliminate the enemies at our doorstep!
Other than that, no one can count on it."
In order for Lu Dayou to understand this truth, Kong Jie also gave an example and said: "This is like you being kidnapped by bandits, and then your father led a brigade of troops and directly surrounded the entire bandit village. This
At that time, you were so happy and thought that you could sit back and relax, but this time nothing would happen.
So you get angry and even anger the bandits.
As a result, the bandits are so cruel that they will kill you before the village is breached.
Tell me, where can you go to reason?
Now our Eighth Route Army is like this hostage, are we going to entrust our lives to others?"
On the other end of the phone, Captain Lu was silent.
Kong Jie said: "Old Lu, let me say something from the bottom of my heart. Compared to the Jizhong Military Region, I am an outsider. There are some things I am not easy to say, but you must speak.
In particular, we must report this matter to the commander. In short, we must not be blindly optimistic about the outbreak of the Pacific War. The more this time, the more we must be prepared for danger in times of peace.
The little devil who is always ready to jump over the wall will give us a knife at this critical moment!"
Then, Kong Jie analyzed the war situation to Lu Dayou.
"For the Japanese army, after the outbreak of the Pacific War, due to the strength of the US military, it will sooner or later become the main battlefield of the Japanese army's foreign operations. By then, the Japanese occupy a large number of areas in China and even become the rear area of this main battlefield.<
/p>
Lao Lu, tell me, in this situation, will the little devil let us make trouble in his rear?
So no matter what the final direction of the Pacific War is? The Japanese will definitely attack our Eighth Route Army troops before then... So..."
After finally analyzing this, Lu Dayou broke out in a cold sweat.
After hanging up the phone, Commander Lu did not delay, and immediately summoned cadres at all levels in the regiment and directly held a military meeting. At the meeting, Commander Lu directly proposed:
"Comrades, I have something to make clear to you. Now that the Pacific War has broken out, the Japanese are fighting on two fronts, and the Nationalist Government has also declared war on Japan.
Don't think this is the time to relax.
On the contrary, this is the most critical time, and the enemy is most likely to use all his strength to deal with us.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
We will tell the soldiers when we go back, and even convey our thoughts to every company, every platoon, and every squad.
Soldiers must continue to strengthen their training without stopping for a moment, and are always ready to engage in the most challenging battles.
In addition, the preparation of various development materials within the group must not be left behind..."
After an intense meeting, Captain Lu sounded the alarm to the cadres at all levels of the 28th Regiment.
After the meeting, Lu Shunming, the third battalion commander of the 28th regiment, Sun Chuanzhong, the second battalion commander and other cadres gathered together.
Confusion appeared on everyone's faces, and Sun Chuanzhong said: "This is really weird. During the meeting yesterday, the regiment leader also said that with the outbreak of the Pacific War, our battle against Japan has improved and the pressure has been reduced.
Why is it that in less than a day, the group leader is getting nervous again?"
Lu Shunmin said: "It's hard to talk about this, but I heard that our regiment leader seemed to have had a phone call with detachment leader Kong in the morning, and then a meeting was held."
"Did these words come from Captain Kong?"
Lu Shunmin said: "Who knows? But I think what our leader said is reasonable. We should be prepared for danger in times of peace. At this time, we cannot take it lightly."
"That makes sense!"
On the other side, Lu Dayou did not dare to delay, and immediately made a detailed report to the commander of the Jizhong Military Region on the phone based on what he discussed with Kong Jie.
Within two days, the commander also realized that he was a little careless and even made a deep self-examination.
In addition, he severely criticized several group leaders who made blindly optimistic remarks in the last meeting.
In this regard, the commander’s words were decisive and powerful:
"The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard!
Being prepared for danger in times of peace is the most precious quality. Our cadres must always encourage and alert soldiers to train and learn, instead of blindly comforting everyone.
We should take this as a warning and never do it again.
Our entire Jizhong Military Region must always be prepared.
Be prepared for any major counterattack that the invaders and reactionaries may launch at any time!"
