The Japanese army was busy preparing, and the independent division was also preparing for the war in full swing. A large amount of cement for building fortifications was transported to the outskirts of Tianjin. Before the Japanese came, they had to build a permanent fortification. Of course, before the Japanese
At the location of the half-repaired fortifications. It has to be said that the Japanese chose a good location to build the fortifications and used materials carefully, which saved Zhou Weiguo and the others a lot of effort.
"So, if the Japanese attack with the Kwantung Army, they will definitely attack by sea, land and air." Zhou Weiguo pointed to the map, "I'm afraid, they will also attack the border of Shandong, making it impossible for us to look at each other."
"Indeed, since the Japs are dispatching the Kwantung Army this time, I'm afraid they really want to finish us off in one battle." Fang Shengli continued, "If the Japs still attack Shandong, our military strength will be somewhat insufficient."
Zhou Weiguo smiled and said, "Even if the Japs attack Shandong, how many troops can they have? If the Japs really want to attack, then the entire battlefield situation in China will probably change."
Fang Shengli thought for a while, "That's true, what about us?"
"Do what needs to be done, not to mention, we also have foreign aid!" Zhou Weiguo raised his eyebrows, "I think the Soviet Union must be very interested in my suggestion, although I don't know what conditions Japan has given."
"A great and good country has been ruined by you." Fang Shengli was helpless, "In this case, we don't seem to have anything to worry about. I'm afraid the devils have other dirty tricks. Our independent division can be regarded as
I’ve suffered enough from the devil’s tricks.”
"Although I say that, we just need to be careful. I'm afraid the Japanese don't have the energy to play this kind of trick now. You know, the price they pay for playing it once is actually very high."
"So now we can only wait?" Fang Shengli was still a little unwilling.
Zhou Weiguo sighed, "To be honest, I don't want to sit and wait in vain. I want to capture some more places to strengthen the strategic depth. However, the Japanese are probably holding on with all their strength now. If we want to fight, we will probably have to pay a price."
.”
"If this is the case, the defense of Tianjin will definitely be a bloody battle?"
"Yeah." Zhou Weiguo nodded, "But as long as we win this victory, the little devils should be unable to do anything in China. The most important point is that even if we don't win, as long as we achieve the original strategic goal, which is to connect with Shanxi
, then not only do our independent divisions have allies, but most importantly, we have cut off the Japs’ southward communication lines. The Japs in the hinterland of the Central Plains will probably have to rely on sea transportation for their supplies in the future.”
"And if the Japanese only rely on sea transportation, then our navy, and even our submarine force, will have a perfect space to perform."
"Yes. But all of this must be based on our victory in this battle." Zhou Weiguo added, "This battle is really the battle that determines the fate of the country. Only if we win, we will have the remaining strength to slowly
If we lose the place taken away by the Japanese, our independent division may have to recuperate for a long time, or even be driven away."
Fang Shengli was silent for a moment, "So, you can't lose, you can only win, even if you die in battle."
…
Chongqing
Dai Li took the telegram and hesitated again and again. He had just received the news that all the independent divisions in Nanchang had returned to Shandong. Then, Fang Shengli gave Nanchang and Yongxiu and the surrounding areas to Jiujiang's New Fourth Army to take over. In fact, he had no right to blame.
Fang Shengli's move, after all, the political personnel there were originally provided by the Eighth Route Army. If the national army took over, I don't know what conflicts would arise. But Fang Shengli did this without saying a word. After all, it was
There is a lack of respect for the government, to put it bluntly, it is called giving and receiving privately, which is a serious challenge to Chiang Kai-shek's power.
If Chiang Kai-shek were to find out, I don't know how angry he would be.
There was another piece of information about the mobilization of the Japanese Kwantung Army. He also deduced it in private. The situation of the Kwantung Army seemed to be going south. The purpose of going south was to hit Tianjin. The last telegram was sent by the Independent Division.
, also about the Battle of Tianjin.
Dai Li sighed and knocked on the door, "Principal."
"Yunong? Come in." Lao Jiang's voice came from the room.
Dai Li pushed the door open and went in, "Principal, there are some documents here, please take a look."
Chiang Kai-shek took it, and the first thing he saw was the explanation about the Battle of Tianjin sent by the Independent Division, and their speculation that the Eastern Army would go south. It also stated that the Battle of Tianjin would be a battle for the fate of the country. If they win, then
The Japanese will no longer be able to do anything in China. They are defeated and the independent division is destroyed.
After reading this telegram, Chiang Kai-shek frowned and asked, "Are you sure the Kwantung Army will really go south?"
Dai Li nodded, "Principal, the second piece of information is about the mobilization of the Kwantung Army. Our people sent it back. In recent days, the Kwantung Army has indeed mobilized frequently, and the Japanese have also had contact with the Soviet ambassador. I am afraid that it was in
Make some arrangements."
Lao Jiang nodded without saying anything, and then looked at the third telegram. As a result, Lao Jiang's face darkened, "Niang Xipi! What does he think of the National Government! Huh?" He threw the telegram on the table.
on, "I'm so angry."
Dai Li was silent. From the end of last year to March of this year, which was last month, the anti-communist campaign had no effect. On the contrary, Zhu Huaibing's troops were crippled. As a result, peace was negotiated again. The Eighth Route Army became stronger and stronger, and with the Independent Division
It doesn't matter, it's normal for Lao Jiang to be angry. If he were Lao Jiang, he would also be angry. But as the leader of the military commander, he knew how rotten the Kuomintang was. In fact, Lao Jiang also knew it, but he didn't
People can change, unless they break and then stand up. But how many people are willing to break? How many people can truly consider the country and the family? But if he were Zhou Weiguo, he would make the same choice as Zhou Weiguo.
Given the situation in the Nanchang area, it is impossible for the Kuomintang troops to cause trouble again. What will happen if there is a conflict and bloodshed?
"Eh." After a long time, Chiang Kai-shek also sighed. He struggled as much as he could, but the building was about to collapse, and there was nothing he could do. It is the Communist Party now, and even if there is no Communist Party, there will be other parties. What's more,
At this time, there were many parties, large and small, saying, "That's it, let's forget about it."
Dai Li did not answer.
"That guy is right about the Japanese Kwantung Army, or the Battle of Tianjin. As long as this battle is won, the Japanese will really have nothing to do in China. And once they get through Shanxi, the Japanese will go south.
The road is cut off. It is a good thing for the country and the people. Fighting the Japanese is still a national policy and cannot be questioned."
"That's what the principal said."
"This telegram was forwarded to several war zones and asked them to discuss how to fight this battle and how to cooperate."
