Chapter 593

Poisonous teeth

(...Every battle must be carefully prepared, and this preparation must be carried out quietly. When all the Japanese were attracted to the battleship at the Pearl River Estuary, our noose had been tightened quietly; and this battle also made Jiang Guangnai win the title of poisonous snake... Excerpted from "My Memories of the War of Resistance - Cao Xiaomin").

The editorial "Don't Believe the Japanese" has a huge impact on the whole country. The article lists a large number of cases of attacks against China by the Japanese after dispatching troops during many negotiations, requiring the whole army and the people to be more wary of the Japanese constantly re-using the same tricks. It also emphasizes that it is not enough for us to simply raise our vigilance. We should make various deductions at this time and formulate defense and counterattack methods to launch an attack once the Japanese army is redeployed; we also need to take the initiative. After all, the Japanese army must be relatively weak during the peace negotiations, and we must give them a big enough blow at this time...

The whole article is full of shouting and killing, but this kind of shouting and killing brings peace, such as "For the sake of real peace, we must defeat the invaders", "If we do not have the ability and determination to defend peace, we cannot enjoy peace", "because no one in Japan and the five generations of people in this battle cannot achieve peace"... The frequency of the word "peace" in this editorial makes the entire editorial community jokingly call this editorial "peace editorial".

If it is an editorial of an ordinary scholar or other politician, no matter what he says, it will have too much influence. However, when this editorial was written by Cao Xiaomin, the influence would be completely different. On the next day, there were multiple war zones across the country. The commander-level generals of the divisional war zone immediately issued an editorial response, expressing their full agreement with Cao Xiaomin's view, and expressing that they would immediately make a general mobilization of the war zone and seize the opportunity of "the Japanese mobilize troops and generals" to launch the "most violent attack" against the Japanese...

Hell! At this time, Cao Xiaomin suddenly attacked! Not only was Wang Jingwei and others caught off guard in Hong Kong, but Japan's Tokyo Base Camp was even more busy: If the troops were added to China at this time, it would completely confirm Cao Xiaomin's statement that the Japanese were dispatching troops and generals, which was unreliable; if they continued to withdraw their troops at this time, they would use the battle with the war zone where each declaration was to launch an attack? It seemed that they could not do it without any sarcasm. So, is it accusing that they had conspiracies or that the Japanese military was weak?

As long as Cao Xiaomin takes action, whether it is Lielie Xiongshi or a simple sentence or two, it makes the Japanese feel extremely uncomfortable; now, just such an editorial makes the Japanese feel at a dilemma.

Soon, the day after the editorial was released, after several theaters made statements, Cao Xiaomin spoke again: Reject the peace talks from the British today that they proposed to drag away the Japanese "Ruo" battleship stranded on the Dazhao Island as a peaceful mediator!

"The battleship of the 'Muo' once landed in Daya Bay caused great damage to our defenders. It was a powerful weapon for the Japanese fleet to invade Guangdong. Letting this battleship escape back is like letting the tiger return to the mountain and blowing it into scrap iron is what we should do. Can we still add to the peace clause that the "Muo" battleship must not enter several miles of the Chinese coastline in the future? Even if there is such a clause, will the Japanese abide by it once the two countries go to war!... Unless this battleship is to be dismantled into scrap iron after it arrives in Hong Kong, it will never be allowed to leave the beach..." Cao Xiaomin's speech almost directly expressed the meaning of blowing up the "Muo". Moreover, judging from the current atmosphere and Cao Xiaomin's habits, it is likely to be in these few days!

Bombing down the "Luo"? Cao Xiaomin is not that stupid. This should have been left to the British or Americans to bear. Like the two aircraft carriers, the "Luo" is a bargaining chip!

When the Japanese asked the British to help them retrieve the "Muo" as a third country, the British were overjoyed: the British, who had a special liking for battleships, actually wanted to take the "Muo" for themselves with some special means!

Of course it is good to have a buyer. Cao Xiaomin had already made a tacit understanding with the British before speaking on the "Muo": the last word in his speech, "Unless this battleship arrives in Hong Kong, it will be dismantled into scrap iron" is the foreshadowing. This sentence is equivalent to forcing the Japanese to pull the battleship to Hong Kong to demolish it - of course it is impossible to really demolish it. As for what way they want to compromise and trade with each other, it is their business. Cao Xiaomin also offered a considerable price for this battleship: four small submarines and ten "hurricanes" are the main exchanges, and there are others!

If there are small submarines in such areas as the Yangtze River Basin and the Pearl River Basin, how can the Japanese fleet enter inward? Even if they are willing to sacrifice, they will be trembling! Of course, this defense plan must be supported by the British to succeed. The Chinese Navy has no troops that can use submarines to fight.

As for the British, of course they were willing to support this plan. The British interest belt in China was originally in the Yangtze River Basin and the Pearl River Basin. The areas where the British least wanted to fight were in these two areas. When the conditions proposed by China were limited to local defense and would not cause other major impacts, the British were very willing to facilitate this transaction... So the two sides planned and took a double act.

Intrigue is a typical portrayal of international relations: Cao Xiaomin also set a trap for the British. He asked that he would get all his supplies before he could leave the battleship, so that he would be able to drag it for a while; maybe he could not withstand the Japanese and let the Japanese occupy the area around the Pearl River Estuary to snatch the warship back. Maybe the Japanese couldn't snatch it back, really handing over the ship to the British when he received all the supplies, but at that time the warship became the best bait, luring the Japanese to attack Hong Kong!

Cao Xiaomin's plan was to delay the time when the Japanese suffered a great loss in the Soviet Union and had to choose to go south before handing over the "Muo" to the British!

Just as the outside world was paying attention to the situation at the Pearl River Estuary, and the Japanese naval and land aviation forces (the Japanese 197 land war in Tainan, Kaohsiung is the main force of the Japanese air force in the Guangdong theater) were very nervous, Cao Xiaomin was carefully reading Jiang Guangnai's counterattack plan: the battlefield in eastern Guangdong looked like a big slut, but if he didn't fight back, it was not Cao Xiaomin!

Cao Xiaomin has never increased troops to eastern Guangdong because in his concept, the counterattack troops on the eastern Guangdong battlefield have been prepared long ago: Su Zuxin's Gui Army's 135th Division was not as simple as being a general reserve team. This was originally a force prepared by Cao Xiaomin for decisive battles!

"...It has been nearly a month since the fierce battle. The Japanese troops still dispersed their radio broadcasts and it is difficult to gather quickly. Fighters have appeared... Our army's preparations have also been completed. Among them, the "Shiboat Horse" (a production tool unique to the coastal mud horse that is unique to the south is also like a small boat, generally divided into three parts, with people standing in the middle, and a small bucket of head and tail can be used to fertilize the paddy fields. Generally, they are supported by bamboo poles, but there are also areas like coastal mud horses, which can be installed with rudders, and can be grasped by hands and pedaled forward. It is considered a combination of microboats and mud horses. This kind of field production tool can make farmers very different from paddy fields and ditches.

Moving rapidly, it can still be seen in backward rural areas in Guangdong today.) More than 5,000 pieces have been prepared, which can ensure that our officers and soldiers will quickly and deeply move in the Shutian River belt with considerable combat materials. Our army's reserve forces and the 135th Division of the Gui army also mastered the driving skills of "shit boats"... Recently, the Japanese Air Force has rarely appeared. Except for the occasional reconnaissance aircraft, only three bombers harassed at both ends of the morning and evening for a moment, and no fighter escort. The field airports in Chaozhou have been well maintained. In the rainy season, they are artificial drainage and soil filling. After testing by relevant airport staff, they are ensured that light bombers can take off and land..."

This battle is about to be won! Cao Xiaomin has not seen the detailed combat plan, but judging from the preparations, he already understands that another great victory is coming: China's land is vast and vast, and the special climate and geography of various places alone can make you cry without tears!

If it weren't for letting a group of Guangdong generals take the lead, who would have thought of so many strange tactics! Li Hanhun used a mud horse surprise attack in Daya Bay, and Jiang Guangnai developed the "shit boat tactic" in eastern Guangdong, but how many preparatory arrangements are needed! After almost a month of fierce battle, he used Tianfu tactics similar to Xue Yue to push the Japanese army to several key points, forcing them to spread in areas where mechanized troops could not be used, and all of them were trapped in paddy fields that could not be used. All this was just to create an attacking situation. Who knew that just this month's patience layout would have many security groups, wild troops, and private troops killed in battle, and how many people were displaced and destroyed! The people's war sounded nice and heroic, but who could imagine the kind of casualties that no one could experience!?

Cao Xiaomin kept making trouble with the "Luo" in the estuary of the Pearl River. The British people, including the ones, always thought that this was just a smoke screen in front of the stage for a behind-the-scenes transaction, but they all forgot: Cao Xiaomin is a soldier in his bones, and the soldiers only have victory on the battlefield in their eyes!

All the smoke screens were released. In order to ensure the safety of the battleships, the Japanese even stopped sending the planes sent to the battlefields of eastern Guangdong and turned into the Pearl River Estuary battlefield reserve team...

Everything is ready, whether it is their own preparations or fake actions; the Chinese Air Force will appear in the sky of eastern Guangdong when the Japanese unexpectedly, and the Chinese Army will gallop in the muddy fields with enough combat supplies at an unbelievable speed... The war is about to break out, but the Japanese who are troubled by battleships are completely unaware of it!
