Ye Jianying looked at some of the latest trends and intelligence from Yan'an brought by Jiang Cheng and said, "Don't be careless. Overall, the enemy's advantage is still very obvious, especially in terms of navy and air force. Our air force is only superior in quality."
, in terms of quantity, they are still unable to compare with the Japanese army.”
Jiang Cheng calculated that radars from Britain and Germany should be coming out soon, and his radar advantage would not last long. He said, "It is true. Because we have radar now, we know ourselves and the enemy, and we can wait for the Japanese to learn from Europe."
Without radar technology, our pressure will increase."
"Report, Commander, everyone is here, the evening meeting can be held normally." An officer walked in and said.
Yang Jingyu waved his hand and said, "Okay, let the logistics department make some good food and rice. Comrades finally got home and it's time to take a rest."
When the officer went out, Ye Jianying said, "203, it's just a coincidence that you came here this time. We happened to have a big operation recently. I was wondering if there would be a shortage of ammunition, but you really came in time."
Jiang Cheng asked, "What's the big move?"
Yang Jingyu sighed and said, "This matter starts from the time of our reorganization. At the beginning of our resistance alliance, there were 11 armies. The strength composition of each army was different, except for the first, second and third armies.
The Sixth and Seventh Armies are controlled by our party; the Fourth and Fifth Armies were established on the basis of the remnants of Wang Delin's National Salvation Army and Li Du's Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Army; the Eighth, Ninth, Tenth and Eleventh Armies were formed from the Volunteer Army.
It was established on the basis of the remaining troops and the Anti-Japanese Forestry Team. So when we reorganized, we asked all units to be disrupted, but some people were unwilling, especially some teams from the bandit caravans, who took the troops to Jilin and established the
The Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, also called the Anti-Japanese Alliance, initially numbered five to six thousand people, led by Xie Wendong, Cheng Bin and others. Of course, although they broke away from us, they were still an anti-Japanese team after all, so we have always maintained a relationship with them.
We have maintained contact with each other, but in recent months, the situation has suddenly changed."
With that said, Yang Jingyu turned around, picked up the stick and pointed at the hanging map and said, "The Japanese have millions of troops outside the customs, including five to six million Japanese troops. As the old saying goes, on the side of the bed.
How can we allow others to snore and sleep? Since the beginning of the year, the Japanese have decided to completely eradicate us anti-Japanese armed forces. They have established a group tribal system in the countryside, implemented the joint sitting and Baojia system, and created no-man's land in some places that are inclined to us to cut off peace and harmony.
Our connection: In April, the Japanese gathered three divisions and a large number of puppet troops, with a total number of about 70,000 to 80,000 people, and began a large-scale sweep against our army. The first one to be attacked was the Anti-Alliance.
That is the direction of Jilin."
Yang Jingyu continued to point to the map and said, "Actually, because our army is part of the same family as the Anti-Japanese Alliance, we have also provided them with a lot of supplies during this period, so we are not very clear about the guerrilla zones. Now our army has a total of three
division, plus an independent division, which is composed of various special operations battalions. In fact, with the supplement of materials from 203, the combat effectiveness of our other three divisions is not low. Our current arrangement is that the first division is mainly active in Liaoning.
The Second Division's main activities are in Jilin, and the Third Division's main activities are in Heilongjiang. The Independent Division followed the Third Division northward at first, and recently returned to our old camp for repairs.
The main location of the Anti-Alliance's activities is in the eastern part of Jilin, which is now being encircled and suppressed by the Japanese. The situation is very urgent, and we have already asked for help from our Second Division and our military headquarters."
Ye Jianying followed up and said, "We had a meeting and discussed it. We believe that the Anti-Japanese Alliance is also an important anti-Japanese force. It was originally separated from us and must be saved. Although the Second Division is not weak in combat effectiveness, it faces heavy troops like the Japanese."
It’s difficult to achieve success even if we don’t have enough strength, so we decided to send all members of the independent division north to attack the arrogance of the Japanese aggressors.”
Jiang Cheng asked, "How many people do we have now?"
Yang Jingyu smiled and said, "There are only 50,000 people in the official establishment, but in the past year, many places have been seriously harmed by the Japs' gangs and tribes and no-man's land. Many people have come to join us one after another.
We will let these people build villages deep in the dense forest. There will probably be about 30,000 to 40,000 people, but many of them are women and children."
This is also because Jiang Cheng provided a large amount of material supplies, so that the Anti-Japanese Alliance could support the supplies of nearly 100,000 people. Otherwise, just eating would be enough to collapse the Anti-Japanese Alliance.
Jiang Cheng frowned and said, "But there are 70,000 to 80,000 Japanese soldiers and we only have 20,000 to 30,000 people. There is basically no chance of winning in a head-on fight."
Ye Jianying smiled and said, "Why don't we fight him head-on? Hit his back, kick his butt, and cut off his logistics. I don't believe it. In this mountain, the Japanese can be more flexible than us."
Yang Jingyu also laughed and said, "Yes, just kick his ass!"
The sun is gradually setting, and winter in the Northeast is coming quickly, especially in the mountains and forests. At this time, you can exhale white air and put on thick cotton clothes. In the wooden house, the lights are bright, and dozens of anti-union officers are sitting together for a meeting.
, at this time, if the Japanese army came to blow up a plane, the Anti-Japanese Alliance would basically be paralyzed.
"Okay, that's it for introducing the situation. Do you have any questions now?" Ye Jianying asked.
"Chief of Staff, just tell us how to fight? We have been repairing here for two or three months, and we can't stand it anymore." The leader of an independent division shouted loudly.
"Yes! The Anti-Japanese Alliance is also an anti-Japanese team. We must unite and completely defeat Japan!"
"Down with little Japan!" "Down with little Japan!"
Ye Jianying laid hands and said, "Okay! Comrades are very enthusiastic, and high fighting spirit is the greatest guarantee of victory. The Japs' leader this time is Kusaba Tatsumi. This guy was a brigade member of the 16th Division in 1937."
The commander went to Nanjing in our customs and massacred a large number of our people there. The crime was heinous. This time, we must beat him hard! Now the Japanese army is divided into seven groups, each with nearly 10,000 people, covering each other.
In the mopping up in Jilin, our goal is this second line, which is mainly composed of 4,000 people from the Eighth Division and 6,000 puppet troops. We have to travel at night and day, and run in front of the enemy to ambush them. Do you have confidence?
"
"have!"
"Okay! Everyone go down and prepare. The march will start at four o'clock tomorrow afternoon!"
"yes!"
Jiang Cheng exhaled outside and felt the strange feeling in the dense forest in the northeast. He saw people coming out of the wooden house one after another, so he walked over. Ye Jianying saw Jiang Cheng and quickly stepped forward and said, "203, why didn't you rest?"
ah?"
Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "I'm leaving tomorrow. It seems I won't be able to catch up with your battle. Why don't you say something?"
Ye Jianying asked, "Why are you so anxious?"
Jiang Cheng waved his hand and said, "The situation across the country is now very delicate. A balance has been reached in various places. The chairman said before I came that after this period, we may start a new round of counterattack, and we in the Northeast will also
If you want to take action, I’ll tell you first.”
Yang Jingyu also came over at this time. Hearing Jiang Cheng's words, he asked excitedly, "Are we going to start a counterattack too?"
Jiang Cheng had seen Yang Jingyu a long time ago and smiled at Yang Jingyu and said, "Our strategic goal in the Northeast is not to counterattack, but to contain. The chairman's strategic ideas have always been different from ordinary people. I can't say what the task will be then.
All I can say is that everyone should be prepared first."
Ye Jianying seemed to understand something, nodded and said, "Okay, I understand, this time we will protect our own vitality to the greatest extent."
Jiang Cheng smiled and said that this was the purpose of this. Jiang Cheng naturally had nothing to say when he went to rescue the Anti-Alliance this time, but if too many troops were lost because of the Anti-Alliance, problems would eventually arise in the strategic layout.
That's a big loss for a small gain.
Yang Jingyu also understood and said, "How about we take the initiative to attack after this fight. In two months, the mountains will be blocked by heavy snow, and the Japanese will not come in. We can develop in these two months."
Show some strength."
"You can take care of this. By the way, how is the development of our North Korean comrades?" Jiang Cheng suddenly remembered Kim Il Sung he had seen accidentally. At that time, Jiang Cheng was startled and almost wanted to run away again.
I went to ask for a group photo, but after thinking about my identity, I gave up.
"The development has been good. Now there are three to four thousand Koreans in our army, and among them there are one or two thousand who were originally Koreans." Ye Jianying said.
Jiang Cheng suggested, "Actually, I think we can let North Korean comrades go to North Korea to fight. North Korea is already truly subjugated. If our anti-Union banner is flown in North Korea, it should be able to attract many people to defect to us."
"Well, that's a good idea. Now the Japanese have built a railway between North Korea and Northeast China and are constantly transporting supplies. If we can rob some of this, our supplies will be even richer." Yang Jingyu touched his beard and smiled.
.
"What? Commander Yang? Are my supplies insufficient?" Jiang Cheng said with a smile.
"I'm really frightened by the situation in the past few years. The more supplies the better! No amount is too much for me!" After Yang Jingyu finished speaking, he laughed with Jiang Cheng and others.
--Nanjing
Seishiro Itagaki slowly closed the report in his hand and said to Nishio next to him, "What do you think, Nishio-kun? Our General Okamura gave us another surprise."
Nishio nodded and said, "It is indeed a very good plan. It considers all aspects of politics, economy, military, and people's livelihood. Okamura is a handsome man." Then he shook his head and said, "But this three-light policy is
Isn’t it a bit too much? After all, it’s okay if the military can’t control themselves. Isn’t it inappropriate for our senior leaders to introduce such a policy?”
Itagaki Seishiro was also a little worried. He hesitated and said, "But just like what Okamura said, our previous approach of just breaking up the Eighth Route Army was ineffective. The predecessor of the Chinese Red Party was a group of bandits, and they were intermediary with Chiang Kai-shek."
After fighting in Jiangxi and other places for so many years, we have long been accustomed to escaping. Even if we can disperse them, it will only take them a few weeks to recover. Remember the New Fourth Army? We spent so much money to
They attacked them and even joined forces with Chongqing, but now they are still growing bigger in northern Jiangsu!"
Speaking of the New Fourth Army, Nishio also felt a headache. He looked at the map on the wall. The red sign on Lianyungang seemed to be mocking him. The navy was not willing to cooperate with him to attack Lianyungang. Without the cooperation of the navy, Nishio could only rely on the army.
I don’t know how to eliminate the tens of thousands of New Fourth Army troops gathered in northern Jiangsu. After all, the main force of the Japanese army has been diluted by the many occupied cities. Some unimportant towns and villages were occupied and then evacuated after appointing some Chinese gentry.
Many Japanese politicians criticized the Army for conquering the world for Chinese landlords.
"Then support him in doing this! If we can really eliminate the Eighth Route Army troops in Shandong, then it will be worthwhile to be criticized by international public opinion." Nishio finally made up his mind.
"Knock knock knock" a knock on the door sounded.
"Come in!" Itagaki Seishiro said to the outside.
A guard came in, holding a cowhide bag and said, "This is sent by General Doihara by plane. He said it is for you." He bowed and sent it up.
"Oh? Doihara-kun? He lived a good life in Manchuria." Itagaki Seishiro walked up with a smile, took it, and quickly opened it. There was a stack of documents inside. Itagaki Seishiro looked at it and said with a smile, "
This is really a great gift.”
Nishio asked curiously, "What is it?"
Itagaki Seishiro said, "Doihara-kun left the army after the Lunan Battle and specialized in intelligence work in Manchuria. He also established an organization called Shigekodo, which worked for many retired Chinese politicians and achieved good results.
, this time Okamura sent him a message asking for help. Didn’t he send me a list of agents lurking within the Chinese Red Party and the Eighth Route Army? He told me to make good use of it. Are you saying that?
Big gift?"
Nishio is also a man who has been on the battlefield for a long time. Of course he knows the importance of intelligence. He nodded excitedly and said, "With your help and Doihara-kun's help, I think Okamura's plan will be realized."
Itagaki Seishiro hummed and said, "It depends on Tokyo's reply, but if Okamura clears Shandong within half a year and North China no longer needs imperial blood transfusions, the empire will definitely agree."
Itagaki Seishiro understood Tokyo's situation very well. While the world was still developing, Japan entered the war early. He thought that this war could bring huge benefits, but it turned out to be a huge quagmire. Japan now urgently needs to take a breather. As long as
I can take a breather, and I'm afraid Tokyo will agree to it no matter what it is.
"Huh? I didn't expect that Doihara would actually attack him. If he could be invited to come out, many things in North China would be easier to handle." Seishiro Itagaki said suddenly while looking at the information.
"Who is he?" Nishio stepped forward and took a look. "Ah! If it's him, it's indeed a great achievement!"
