Chapter 215 Re-entering the plane of the Republic of China
The plane of the Republic of China...
"The last time I left was in July 1941. In the blink of an eye, I went to three worlds. Looking back now, a year and a half has passed. Time flies so fast." Sitting at a roadside food stall, Wang Xu said
Looking at the newspaper in his hand, his eyes were full of emotion.
As soon as I saw it, I saw the front page headline of the newspaper, which clearly stated that in April 1943, the Japanese troops in North China withdrew from the three eastern provinces, and the liberation of the customs was announced.
In the year and a half since Wang Xu was away, the domestic war of resistance has really blossomed.
First, the second Battle of Shangsha was victorious, and the main force of the Japanese army in the Jiangnan area was forced to move to the Shanghai area.
Then the Kwantung Army went south, and our party, which was equipped with AK47s and a large number of Type 65 infantry artillery, used guerrilla tactics to divide and encircle, and the defeat was in vain.
Compared with the real historical process, the history of the Republic of China was completely changed because of the emergence of Wang Xu.
The first is the Hundred Regiment War. In the Hundred Regiment War in history, although our side won the victory, not many Japanese troops were wiped out, less than 30,000 people. The main purpose was to break the enemy's blockade.
And here, because there are Japanese army defense plans, weapons blueprints supported by Wang Xu, radio stations, drug synthesis formulas and a series of plug-ins.
The number of Japanese casualties increased rapidly. The official number of killed and wounded was as high as 164,000. Among them, all Japanese-occupied areas centered on Taiyuan were declared lost.
Encouraged by this, the number of people in General Xue's 9th Theater who launched the second Shangsha Battle also increased from more than 500,000 in forty divisions to nearly 800,000 in sixty divisions.
The success of these two battles not only destroyed the arrogance of the Japanese army, but also annihilated and injured nearly 400,000 Japanese troops.
You must know that during this period, not counting the puppet troops, the number of Japanese invaders was only 1.46 million, of which 650,000 were the Kwantung Army, which could not be easily mobilized and needed to guard against the Soviet Union's southward march.
As a result, on the entire Central Plains battlefield, the Japanese army could only mobilize about 800,000 troops, plus 1.5 million puppet troops.
The reduction of 400,000 troops had a dramatic impact.
More and more Japanese generals have woken up from the dream of occupying China for three months. They have realized with reality that China is no longer a China that can occupy the Northeast without firing a single shot during the Marco Polo Bridge Incident. It is increasingly attacking China.
The stronger it is, the more it fights, the bigger it becomes.
Yes, I believe that the Japanese military headquarters must have a deep understanding of the word huge.
Because let alone them, even Wang Xu doesn't know how our party grew its troops from hundreds of thousands to three million in one and a half years.
You must know that during this period, the orthodox government was the Nanjing government.
Even the Nanjing government advertises that it has 7 million troops, but if you throw away those who are on empty pay, the number of troops it has is only about 4 million.
For a person who is not recognized by the central government and is labeled as a gangster from time to time, the total number of people has quadrupled in one and a half years. This is very incredible. Because this is not a game of addition and subtraction. One more person means one more mouth.
A gun, a need to ensure logistics.
It is well known that our party was not very good at economics during this period. Wang Xuzhen doubted how a few bosses could solve the problem of food and clothing with such a huge number of troops. We cannot all bring their own dry food and the guns in their hands are made of wood.
Yes.
"I cheated every time I attacked the county. I remember when Li Yunlong attacked the county town, the county defenders only had more than 3,000 troops, but he had more than 7,000 troops. The number was more than double that of the county defenders. Sure enough, he cheated.
The tradition of the two parties is the same. But no matter what, the domestic situation is very good. The two parties combined have seven to eight million actual troops. No wonder the Japanese army either withdraws north to defend the three eastern provinces, or withdraws south to defend Shanghai and Dongguang. This is
I can’t stand it any longer!”
Wang Xu was sitting at the breakfast bar eating wontons. From the conversations in the newspaper and the people around him, he gradually understood what the current situation was like.
The Japanese were driven away, and those in the north were huddled in the three northeastern provinces, while those in the south were huddled in Shanghai and Dongguang.
The situation in the Central Plains is also basically clear, with two parties confronting each other. The provinces near the coast are in the hands of the Democratic Party, and the inland provinces in the west are in the hands of our party.
At present, everyone is relatively restrained. Our party has extended its tentacles to the three northeastern provinces, and the Democratic Party has extended its claws to Dongguang and Shanghai. Both sides are avoiding an early decisive battle.
"Fellows, I am Xu Fugui, a Tianjin native, Lieutenant General of the 42nd Army of the Kuomintang. With the love of the principal, I will lead all the officers of the 42nd Army to guard the city of Tianjin. With our brothers here, the Japanese will never want to come back again.
Got it!"
Halfway through breakfast, there was a sudden shouting outside. A man in a general uniform was standing on a truck talking loudly.
Wang Xu put down his chopsticks and, like the diners around him, stood at the door and looked out.
He didn't see Xu Fugui. He only saw groups of military vehicles and countless KMT officers and soldiers armed with live ammunition, patrolling the streets to reassure the people along with the sound of speeches.
"It's General Xu Fugui. He was the hero of the Changsha Battle. He was promoted to major general and division commander in the middle of the battle. At the end of the battle, he was promoted to lieutenant general. He is a famous tiger general in the ninth theater!"
"This is not the point. The point is that General Xu is from Tianjin, one of our own, and he has lived a good life now."
When Wang Xu stood at the door, Xu Fugui had already walked away, and he only saw the 42 officers and soldiers standing on the military vehicle, constantly waving to the people on both sides.
Listening to everyone's discussion and looking at the military vehicles passing by, Wang Xu's first thought was not envy, but thinking that Xu Fugui was back. Does Xu Jiazhen know about this?
If he remembered correctly, Xu Fugui's path to fortune was not fighting a beautiful battle in the Ninth War Zone, but taking over General Xue's niece.
If Xu Jiazhen knew that Xu Fugui, whom she had been waiting for for many years, had embraced his beloved wife and became a winner in life, should she cry or laugh?
By the way, this is the Republic of China, and there are many people who have three wives and four concubines. Several women can live with one man.
But the problem came again. Xu Fugui, a shadow puppet performer, was promoted to general forcibly. This shows how much effort Chief Xue put into this.
There are three wives and four concubines. Although Xu Jiazhen is the eldest sister who started the family first, is it possible to let Commander Xue's niece be the youngest?
"Junior brother, you are finally back. Where have you been?"
Before Wang Xu could start his thoughts, he was brought back to reality by a call.
When I saw it, Zhang Fan, the third senior brother who was in charge of the Tianjin Martial Arts School, was coming with a large team of people. At first glance, it seemed that there were many familiar people.
Looking at these familiar faces, Wang Xu felt melancholy in his heart, and all he could say turned into a silent nod.
He has been away for too long. Since he came into contact with the inner force and the counter-world with higher technological levels, the importance of the Republic of China plane has been greatly reduced.
In his opinion, he had only disappeared from three worlds, but the total time spent was a full year and a half.
There was no news for a year and a half, as if he had disappeared from the world. Even in modern times, he is regarded as a missing person, let alone in the war-torn Republic of China.
"It's hard to explain. Master, how are you doing?" Wang Xu recovered his thoughts and asked Zhang Fan.
Zhang Fan nodded repeatedly and replied: "Master, everything is fine. I can eat two or three bowls in one meal, but..."
"Just what?" Seeing Zhang Fan hesitate to speak, Wang Xu felt a bad feeling in his heart.
Zhang Fan lowered his head and sighed, and replied: "Master is getting older and has some hidden injuries. He was ill last autumn. Although he is fine, his head is just a little confused."
"What!" Hearing that Mr. Han Muxia was confused, Wang Xu couldn't care less about Xu Jiazhen, so he hurriedly said: "Take me to have a look."
"This..." Zhang Fan looked embarrassed, as if he had something to hide.
Wang Xu's eyes instantly turned cold and he whispered: "What, am I not allowed to go, or are you trying to stop me?"
After three days of separation, I was surprised to see that Wang Xu had disappeared for a year and a half, and he had transformed from an ordinary person into a first-class master in the world.
As soon as he stared at him, Zhang Fan had the illusion of being stared at by a beast, as if he would be torn into pieces in an instant if he said a wrong word, and he would not be able to say what he wanted to say next.
