Therefore, Wang Xuexin's action seems to be just asking for help and supplies from the bear, but it actually has a profound meaning.
It would be much more convenient for Mao Xiong to provide supplies to the Eighth Route Army... This supply is not only preparing Chifeng for the attack on Fengtian, but also preparing for the capture of the entire Northeast.
Mao Xiong has been confronting the Japanese in the border area for a long time and has already improved the frontline supply line. Now all they have to do is add a section of railway to connect with the northeast.
More importantly, Wang Xuexin wanted to use the bear to put some pressure on the Japanese.
As mentioned before, the Japanese Kwantung Army has dozens of divisions and hundreds of thousands of people... From the information given by the headquarters, Wang Xuexin estimated that the Japanese Kwantung Army has about 400,000 people.
The reason why we are not sure is that many of the places where the Japanese troops are stationed are heavily guarded and the Eighth Route Army has not many intelligence personnel who have penetrated into the Japanese in the Northeast, so there is no way to know the detailed strength of the Japanese troops.
(Note: At the end of World War II, the total strength of the Kwantung Army was 700,000, but 250,000 of them were temporarily recruited Japanese expatriates, and hundreds of thousands of them were not even equipped with guns)
The Japanese had so many troops and the overall quality of the soldiers was higher than that of the Eighth Route Army. How could the Eighth Route Army defeat them all?
The way Wang Xuexin came up with was to try to create a situation in which he and Mao Xiong cooperated to attack the Japanese.
Today let Mao Xiong build a railway, tomorrow let Mao Xiong equip an army, and the day after tomorrow let Mao Xiong send some instructors for training and guidance...
What would the Japanese think if they saw these actions?
Non-aggression pact?
Forget it!
If the treaty had worked there would have been no two world wars.
What's more, after signing the treaty, the Japanese planned to tear up the treaty and attack Mao Xiong... This happened in 1941. Hans launched an attack on Mao Xiong on June 22.
The Japanese thought this was an opportunity, so they thought about taking advantage of this opportunity to cooperate with Hans to attack the bear. A week later, there was a special large-scale exercise of the Kwantung Army, which was the so-called "Guan Special Exercise".
This thing is said to be an "exercise", but in fact it is just mobilizing troops and generals to look for opportunities to see if they can start a war against the bear.
Since the Japanese had previously intended to not abide by the contract, why couldn't Mao Xiong do the same?
As a result, the Japanese with evil intentions will definitely fall into a dilemma under the pressure of Mao Xiong.
This is what Wang Xuexin wants. Then Mao Xiong can add troops to the border to show off, or he can even conduct an exercise...
Will the Japanese dare to send troops back to reinforce Fengtian?
I'm afraid that not only will we not dare to return our troops, we will have to mobilize troops from Fengtian to the border to deal with the bear!
After all, Mao Xiong is a much more powerful being than the Eighth Route Army.
Wang Xuexin didn't think of this method during the meeting at the headquarters. At that time, he was busy thinking about how to deal with BF109. Now it was Lemon Lokov who came up with the idea... Why not let the furry bear play a greater role?
Later, when the chief learned about this, he couldn't help but sigh: "Okay! This guy already knows how to use political means!"
The chief of staff also laughed, with a bit of embarrassment in his smile: "Thankfully, we were still pushing and beating Xiao Dongbei in front of Xiao Dongbei during the meeting. We were only thinking about how to cut off the Japanese traffic lines and prevent reinforcements. Who would have thought?
Xiao Dongbei can still pull this trick! This is how he wiped out hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops while just talking and laughing, it’s simply a stroke of genius!”
But the leader responded generously: "It doesn't matter if we make a fool of ourselves, as long as we can defeat the Japanese and revitalize China, I will be happy if I make an even bigger fool of myself!"
These words can explain the chief's mentality. He has put so much effort and effort not for personal honor and disgrace, but sincerely for China.
Mao Xiong actually knew Wang Xuexin’s intentions.
Mao Xiong's top deputy commander is a veteran in the political arena. How could he not understand the purpose of Wang Xuexin's move?
So after hearing Lemon Lokov's report, he immediately said meaningfully: "This Chinese regiment leader is not simple, I'm afraid he wants more than this!"
Lemonlokov was still a little confused and asked: "Did he ask for anything else?"
Lemon Lokov was a little confused. The requirements of the Chinese delegation leader were clearly written. There was nothing else except supplies and railways.
The Supreme Deputy Commander did not answer. He did not intend to expose Wang Xuexin.
Because once it is revealed, there will probably be many opposing voices within Mao Xiong. They will say:
"We cannot allow our country to risk war with the Japanese for the benefit of the Eighth Route Army!"
"If we do this, will we be fooled by the leader of the Chinese delegation?"
"What good does this do to us? Our enemy is not the Japs but Hans!"
…
My God, the Supreme Deputy Commander can already imagine what those short-sighted politicians will say. Then he will have to work hard to convince them that this is also in the interests of Mao Xiong... The Japanese are in the Northeast.
The hundreds of thousands of Chen soldiers are Mao Xiong's heartache, and Mao Xiong is also happy to see that the Eighth Route Army can eliminate this enemy from both sides for them in the Northeast.
Therefore, the Supreme Deputy Commander believed that it was best to remain in a state of seeing through the situation without saying anything.
Therefore, the Supreme Deputy Commander's answer to Lemon Lokov was: "Nothing, I was wrong! I think we can agree to the request of the Chinese regiment leader, but these must be deducted from our arrears, and we will not
The supplies are given to them for free! This is our final bottom line and cannot be compromised!"
"Yes, of course!" replied Lemonlokov.
When Lemonlokov saw this telegram, he felt that the Supreme Deputy Commander was a little unkind. The help given by the Chinese regiment commander to Mao Xiong was obvious to all. If it were not for the Chinese regiment commander, Stalingrad and the Baku oil field at this time would probably be
They all belong to Hans.
But now, the leader of the Chinese regiment just asked for some reinforcements in Chifeng to lay a railway line. The top deputy commander was wondering whether the leader of the Chinese regiment would ask for more in the future and whether it would be in vain!
Of course Lemon Lokov didn't know that the Supreme Deputy Commander was actually helping Wang Xuexin by saying this... It was precisely because the Supreme Deputy Commander saw that Wang Xuexin had other deep intentions that he used "deduction of arrears" as Wang Xuexin's true purpose.
Cover.
In this way, when someone, like the Supreme Deputy Commander, doubts whether the Eighth Route Army has other motives for doing this, the Supreme Deputy Commander can silence them with the clause "deduction of arrears":
"The assistance we gave to the Eighth Route Army was not free. Remember they paid in advance? We owe them this!"
"If we don't pay it back now, when will we pay it back? When they are defeated by the Japanese?"
"Then let's just tell them that we plan to ignore the debt!"
This was what Wang Xuexin wanted to see most, so he agreed to the conditions given by Lemon Lokov without even thinking about it!
On this matter, Wang Xuexin and the Supreme Deputy Commander formed a certain tacit understanding...
