It has been moved to the headquarters of the Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of China in Taiyuan.
The situation in North China as a whole. Because the Eighth Route Army implemented elite troops and streamlined administration in the entire base area in advance, coupled with the seizure of a large number of Japanese weapons and equipment at Tianjin Pier, the equipment of nearly one million troops was all uniformly replaced. As a result, the situation in North China could be said to be
It presents a prosperous situation.
Although the situation in North China is under the control of millions of well-equipped Eighth Route Army troops, there are almost no major problems. However, the bad situation in Northeast China is a very huge problem that has been plaguing the Party Central Committee, especially
Chairman's Heartstrings.
At this moment, Liu Hua, the central leader who has been nominated as an alternate member of the Politburo, is leading 20,000 troops. In the three northeastern provinces that can be called the rear bases of the Japanese army, he is carrying out an operation with more than one million Kwantung Army troops.
A brutal struggle.
More importantly, there is an unusual disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves, and the safety of Liu Hua, the commander of the Northeast Field Army... Everything that happens in the three northeastern provinces, without exception, is always worrying the heartstrings of several leaders of the central government.
Of course, at this moment, the bloody battle taking place around Baishan County was reported by Liu Hua to several central leaders before the battle began.
In the war room of the central station, directly opposite a huge operational map of North China. At this moment, it has been replaced by a military map of the three northeastern provinces. The various red and green arrows on the map clearly show everyone that
The specific distribution of forces between the enemy and ourselves in the three northeastern provinces.
At this moment, the Chairman, Commander-in-Chief, and Vice Chairman Zhou, who can be called the three giants of the Chinese Communist Party, are gathering in the war room, frowning, staring at the map with their eyes fixed on the map.
Baishan County has been marked countless times.
Just when the three people were frowning and looking worried about the future of the Northeast Field Army, Ye Jianying, chief of general staff of the Central Military Commission, stood in front of everyone with an excited look.
"Chairman, Vice Chairman Zhou, Commander-in-Chief, great victory, great victory for the Northeast Field Army..." An excited voice shouted from the mouth of Chief of Staff Ye Jianying.
In an instant, all three people's eyes were fixed on Chief of Staff Ye Jianying. The chairman opened his mouth. After several seconds, he recovered from the shock and asked in disbelief.
"Jianying, what did you just say? A great victory in Northeast China. Could it be that our Commander Liu Hua won another great victory in the three provinces of Northeast China? Come on, tell us old guys about it and make us happy too..."
Under the gaze of three people, Ye Jianying quickly replied.
"It's the chairman. The Northeast Field Army's Supreme Headquarters reported: The fifth column of the field army, the recruit column, totaled more than 40,000 troops. Under the command of Commander Liu Hua, after a day and night of hard fighting, the Japanese 27th Infantry was successfully annihilated.
division. Among them, a Japanese Lieutenant General division commander was killed, and a division flag of the Japanese 27th Division was seized. Since the time of the power generation, the 27th Division has been completely erased from the Japanese battle sequence.
Exist again.”
The commander-in-chief asked with wide eyes and disbelief.
"What, what did you just say? Seize the Japanese division flag and kill the lieutenant general division commander. Come on, tell us again?"
Because, in his heart, he clearly knew what it meant to capture the Japanese division flag. It meant that from now on, the Japanese 27th Division would be completely erased from the Japanese battle order. And this 27th Division,
It will also become a permanent scar for the Japanese army. Thinking of this, the commander-in-chief showed a look of excitement on his face, waiting for Ye Jianying's answer in front of him.
Ye Jianying, who was in front of her, saw the changing expressions on the faces of the three people. Thinking of the expression she had shown just after receiving the telegram, she nodded in agreement, and then replied again: "Report to the three leaders,
Our Northeast Field Army, after a day and night of hard fighting, completely annihilated the Japanese 27th Division, killed the Japanese division commander, and captured a Japanese division flag."
"Old Mao, I told you that as long as Liu Hua, the God of War, takes action in person, there will definitely be no problems in the entire battle. You see, in less than a day and a night, the troops have achieved such huge results.
All the flags of the little devil's division have been captured, which is really unexpected..." After receiving Ye Jianying's affirmative answer, the excited commander-in-chief slammed the table in front of him and said to the chairman beside him with a smile on his face.
Vice Chairman Zhou followed closely behind. As if he let out a long breath of bad breath in his heart, he said in an extremely comfortable mood.
"Chairman, this is the first time that the whole country has seized the Japanese division-level military flag since the Anti-Japanese War. This time, we have achieved such great results. In terms of public opinion, we must suppress Chiang Kai-shek in Chongqing.
If we ask him to send troops to the three northeastern provinces, he will have nothing to say."
Seeing the two extremely excited partners in front of him, the chairman was also very excited, nodded and replied.
"Enlai, boss, you are all right. The seizure of the first-level military flag of the Japanese army division is something that has never happened before since the war of resistance against Japan. Besides, with the current strength of our party, we have to break up with the Kuomintang Chiang Kai-shek and fight against each other.
It is only a matter of time before Jiang comes to rule. Therefore, we must make good use of this matter and vigorously publicize our party's ideas. Enlai, you have always been dealing with the Kuomintang and fighting a public opinion war with the Kuomintang.
I’ll leave this matter to you to complete.”
"Yes, Chairman, please rest assured that we will definitely live up to our high expectations. I will definitely make Baldy Jiang from Chongqing unable to tell the story of this war of words." With enough strength and evidence, Vice Chairman Zhou said with confidence.
.
"Well, Enlai and Chiang Kai-shek are going to have a war of words. Boss, then, it is up to you to stay in the war room and keep abreast of the first developments on the front line. As for me, I will immediately write out an editorial and broadcast it to Xinhua Radio to broadcast it to the whole country.
, people all over the world, publicize this matter vigorously. Of course, this is what our Comrade Liu Hua specifically requested." The chairman nodded and ordered firmly.
Needless to say, there was a war of words between Vice Chairman Zhou and Chiang Kai-shek’s Kuomintang. Faced with the hard facts and the strong military pressure from the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, in order to maintain his rule over the entire country, Chiang Kai-shek had to shamelessly withdraw himself.
previous order, and give certain commendations to the Northeast Field Army of the Eighth Route Army...
Just when the huge results of the Northeast Field Army were immediately transmitted to every corner of the world through the radio, the whole country was once again shocked by the huge achievements achieved by the God of War Liu Hua, and could not help but start to celebrate.
Qing. As for European and American countries, after confirming the accuracy of this news, they have a deeper understanding of the Eighth Route Army led by the Communist Party of China, which has greatly expanded the influence of the Communist Party of China in the world.
Of course, at this moment, there is a country that is in complete boiling over because of this news. And this country is Japan, which is completely influenced by militarism.
When the news that the 27th Division was completely destroyed and the division's flag was captured by the enemy spread to the country, Japan, which had been completely enveloped in an atmosphere of militarism. Both ordinary people and officers and soldiers at all levels, almost at the same time
, launched a large-scale demonstration. And their demonstration was not to ask the empire to withdraw its troops, but to immediately increase its troops and launch a retaliatory attack on the Eighth Route Army.
In the face of the massive national demonstration, although the cabinet tried its best to suppress it. However, under the repeated requests of domestic young military officers, Emperor Hirohito had to convene another meeting because of Liu Hua and the Northeast Field Army led by Liu Hua.
A royal meeting was formed by various factions to discuss specific solutions.
However, what made Emperor Yoto feel angry was that the entire meeting lost his control as soon as it started. The war-fighting officers headed by the Minister of War, General Hideki Tojo, under the instigation of a group of young and strong officers,
They have been asking the empire to send heavy troops to retaliate against the Eighth Route Army troops in Manchuria, so as to avoid the humiliation of the 27th Division being completely annihilated.
However, a group of military officers, led by Chief of Staff General Kenji Doihara, had been reactionary in sending troops to Mongolia because of the upcoming campaign southward and even the upcoming naval battle of Pearl Harbor.
"His Majesty the Emperor, although there are currently over one million elite Kwantung Army troops in Manchuria, the entire Kwantung Army is in a situation of being attacked from three sides. In addition, our Imperial Japanese Army is about to divide its forces and implement the southward operations plan.
The Kwantung Army simply cannot mobilize enough troops to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army troops in the Mengshan area." Chief of Staff General Kenji Doihara said very sensibly.
"Baga, are you just watching the 27th Division being abolished? This is simply the biggest shame since the establishment of the Imperial Army of Japan." In response to General Kenji Doihara's answer, Tojo Hideki
Without even thinking about it, he rejected it with a look of contempt. Then he continued to speak.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, I humbly believe that the Eighth Route Army in Manchuria, under the leadership of its highest officer Liu Hua, was able to develop and grow in a relatively short period of time and became a serious problem for our Kwantung Army. One of the most important reasons is that
The reason is that the Imperial Japanese Army's repeated concessions gave the cunning Liu Hua enough time to develop his own weapons."
When he saw everyone nodding in agreement because of his explanation, Tojo Hideki continued.
"Therefore, I believe that we can no longer make concessions to the Eighth Route Army led by Liu Hua, a Chinese, and must nip it in the bud. Otherwise, after a month or even half a year, this Eighth Route Army will be armed.
To what extent it can develop is beyond the imagination of a humble official. Please make an early decision, His Majesty the Emperor."
Regarding the chaotic imperial meeting in front of him, Emperor Hirohito shook his head helplessly and said: "Everyone, you are all the pillars of the Japanese Empire. What you just said is very reasonable. However, the lack of troops has already
This is a huge obstacle blocking the expansion of the Imperial Army of Japan. Tojo-kun, I wonder if you have any good suggestions? I believe that as long as we have enough troops, the Kwantung Army in Manchuria will
We will definitely not sit idly by and watch the Eighth Route Army grow and become a serious problem for the empire."
"His Majesty the Emperor is wise!" After hearing that his opinion was affirmed by the Emperor, General Tojo rolled his eyes at the Chief of Staff beside him. Then he said with excitement.
"His Majesty the Emperor, I have a plan here. I hope to get His Majesty the Emperor's approval."
"Well, it seems Tojo-kun is very well prepared. Let's talk, let's discuss it together..." Emperor Hirohito nodded with satisfaction to Hideki Tojo, who had even prepared the plan in front of him, and then said.
"Hai Yi, I believe that the current strength of the imperial army is simply not enough to sustain the possible battles that may occur next. Therefore, we must warn reserve soldiers and reorganize several divisions to deal with possible wars. And
According to the discussion of our Army Ministry, as long as we can re-form ten main divisions, totaling 200,000 troops, we will be fully capable of ordering the Kwantung Army troops to dispatch troops to eliminate the Eighth Route Army entrenched in Manchuria while conducting operations southward.
force."
In response to Tojo Hideki's suggestion, Emperor Hirohito nodded and did not answer immediately. Instead, he turned his head and shifted his gaze back to Chief of Staff Kenji Doihara, waiting for his statement.
At this moment, seeing the change in the expression on Emperor Hirohito's face, everyone attending the imperial meeting, no matter how stupid they were, knew that although Emperor Hirohito did not immediately express his position, in his heart, he had already agreed with Emperor Hirohito.
Hideki Jo's suggestion. Thinking of this, General Kenji Doihara quickly replied.
"Hai, His Majesty the Emperor, you are all humble and stupid. You didn't expect that our Empire of Japan has sufficient reserve soldiers. It is completely possible to form dozens of main divisions in a short period of time. Therefore, I completely agree with Tojo-kun.
It is recommended that the Omen Reserve reorganize ten main divisions within half a month to participate in the plan to fight south."
"Yo Xi, now that everyone has reached a unified opinion, it has been decided. Within half a month, ten infantry divisions will be formed as reserve forces to participate in the southward battle sequence. As for the Kwantung Army troops in Manchuria,
For this southern battle, no more troops will be sent. However, all hostile armed forces in Manchuria must be eliminated within a short period of time, especially the Eighth Route Army troops entrenched in the Mengshan area. Tojo-kun, I will leave these matters to you
You go and finish it." Emperor Hirohito nodded with satisfaction and then ordered.
"Hai, please rest assured His Majesty the Emperor. I promise to live up to my high expectations despite my humble position..." General Hideki Tojo replied with excitement.
With the convening of the Imperial Council, the demonstrations in Japan finally calmed down. At the same time, a large number of reserve troops quickly assembled under the orders of Emperor Hirohito and were ready to join the war at any time.
Of course, it is impossible to hide the huge movements in Japan from the all-pervasive intelligence personnel. Just as the order for the Japanese Army's omen reserve was issued, letters of the latest information were sent from Japan to all corners of the world...
In Baishan County, which had been reduced to rubble by artillery fire, Commander Liu Hua and commanders of each column at division level or above were gathering in the room where the former Japanese division headquarters was to hold a meeting to encircle and annihilate the Japanese 27th Division.
Wrapping up the meeting.
Just when the meeting was less than halfway through, a telegram was handed to Liu Hua by the communications staff. Commander Liu Hua, who had been smiling just now, immediately frowned.
stand up.
Waving his hand, after the communications staff member quickly left the conference room, Liu Hua faced the dozen or so commanders in front of him who didn't know why and ordered decisively: "Comrades, we have just received the central telegram. The Japanese Kwantung Army troops have another attack."
There are new developments. Therefore, the military situation is urgent. Now I order that the meeting be temporarily suspended. All ministries will immediately replenish ammunition on the spot and be ready to continue fighting. Commander Zhou Baozhong will stay for a while, and the others will adjourn the meeting immediately..."
Seeing everyone leaving the conference room one by one, he looked at Commander Liu Hua, who was frowning in front of him. Zhou Baozhong, who was left behind by Liu Hua, asked.
"Commander, did something happen?"
Liu Hua nodded and said affirmatively: "Take a look. The central government has sent the latest information. Because the 27th Division was cancelled, the Little Devils have begun to form reserve forces again. Within half a month, the Japanese army will reorganize ten
The main division, totaling 200,000 people, was put on the battlefield."
"Although we still don't know which battlefield these 200,000 people will go to. But I am sure that no matter where the 200,000 people go, the Kwantung Army's attitude towards us and the way they fight will be different.
Everything will change.”
"Commander, I really didn't expect that our seizure of a little Japanese army flag would cause such a big commotion." Zhou Baozhong said with emotion.
"It goes without saying that for the little devil, the significance of a military flag is far greater than the strength of several divisions. Without the soldiers, the little devil can continue to carry out omens. However, as long as the military flag is gone, the little devil's division
The formation of the regiment will be abolished forever, and at the same time, it will become an eternal scar and shame for the little devil..." Liu Hua nodded and replied.
"Then what should we do next?" Zhou Baozhong asked.
"Wait, the only way we can do now is to wait for the little devil to make a move, and then we will take action. However, I, Liu Hua, am not the kind of person who only passively takes beatings. While waiting, we can't
Give up such a good opportunity to eliminate the effective strength of the Japanese army. Lao Zhou, immediately convey the order to all ministries." Liu Hua said with certainty with a sneer on his lips.
"Order three columns and six main divisions, each equipped with the heavy firepower of an artillery battalion. Then, use the division as a unit to attack the Japanese and puppet army strongholds and counties around the base area, killing a large number of Japanese troops. In addition, it is necessary to
I warn the commanders of all main divisions that during the operation, we can only take advantage, not suffer losses, and we must control the casualties of our troops. After the attack is completed, there will be more difficult battles waiting for us."
