The third bloody war of resistance Chapter 6 the stalemate Chapter 8 the turning point (twenty)
Ershi thought it was strange. Zhuang Jihua Yuanjing also held the view that he was not moving for the time being. The alliance was about to move, and two war zones were going to be dispatched at the same time... He frowned and silently, and Chen Cheng and Bai Chongxi also felt incredible. The whole army spent a lot of energy. But just putting the army into the battle is too unfavorable.
Chiang Kai-shek stopped and stared at Zhuang Jihua and asked in a deep voice: "Are you worried that the Soviet Union could not hold back, so you wanted to force Japan to transfer some troops back and reduce their pressure, is that right?
Zhuang Jihua nodded silently. He did not deny that the Soviet Union was defeated so quickly and suffered such heavy losses. If there were no Far East troops, could Moscow defend it? And now the Far East seems to be unable to defend it, although he did not believe Stalin would surrender, because Hitler would not accept Stalin's surrender. Stalin's cruel suppression of the internal situation also gave him no way out and could only do his best to win.
"The Soviet-Russian battlefield is the main battlefield of the entire war. If the Soviet-Russians fail, both us and Britain and the United States will face difficulties. We will help them, but in fact we will help ourselves." Zhuang Jihua was worried about gains and losses. It is really hard for him to judge what the storm incited by his butterfly would have brought about.
"The Cultural Revolution was too worried." Bai Chongxi shook his head and said, "Although the Japanese army dispatched a million troops, Japan is also in difficulty now. The US-British oil embargo has stuck his throat, so his attack on the Soviet Union will not last for a long time. As long as the Soviet Far Eastern troops are not completely wiped out, the situation will be stable. I think if the US-British oil embargo is not lifted, Japan will still go south.
Zhuang Jihua's judgment on whether Japan will continue to move south has also been shaken. The elites in the Japanese government would not unexpectedly that with Japan's strength, Japan cannot challenge the three major powers of China, the United States and the Soviet Union at the same time. History has changed, but this has led to Japan's abandonment of going south, so this change will not be worth the loss.
"I think this is possible. The fifth theater dispatches two armies and the ninth theater dispatches one army. In addition, the other departments form elite squads to harass the Japanese army." Chen Cheng suggested: "After the reorganization of the army is over, the troops need to undergo practical exercises to test the reorganization effect. This attack is just a drill.
"Minister Chen said very well." Zhuang Jihua immediately expressed his support. He knew that Chiang Kai-shek was worried that the army would suffer too much, Chen Cheng. Imagine that the best of both worlds: "This is a political and military war. We do not aim at siege cities and seize land, but mainly annihilate the Japanese army's live forces. We do not attack big cities, but only eliminate strongholds near major traffic arteries. The main tactic is to siege the city and attack aid, and to deal with the enemy in a mobile warfare manner.
Chiang Kai-shek was relieved, and he nodded: "Ci Xiu, tomorrow you will go to the Ninth War Zone. Discuss with Xue Yue how to fight, but the main force of this counterattack is the Fifth War Zone. They have the most narrow troops. Jiansheng, go to the Fifth War Zone and discuss with De Neighbors. The fifth War Zone will dispatch two armies. Except for the Forty-Ninth War Zone, all other troops can be moved, and the Fifteenth Army in the Ninth War Zone is not allowed to move.
Chiang Kai-shek specifically pointed out that the Forty-Nine Army was not for Zhuang Jihua, but for the Forty-Nine Army, the Forty-Nine Army, had already become famous. The Military Commission once proposed to transfer the Forty-Nine Army to the direct jurisdiction of the Military Commission for strategic offensives. The Japanese army was also deeply afraid of the Forty-Nine Army. Once it was discovered that the Forty-Nine Army was dispatched, it would definitely think that this was the main attack direction of the squadron and would definitely draw heavy troops to deal with it.
Zhuang Jihua was secretly proud of himself, but there was nothing wrong with Chiang Kai-shek doing this. The 49th Army did not move, which made the Japanese wonder where the main attack direction was. And once the Japanese counterattacked, the 49th Army would be a strategic reserve.
With Chiang Kai-shek's order, the Fifth War Zone and the Ninth War Zone began to move. The commander of the Fifth War Zone and the deputy commander of the Ninth War Zone Xue Yue were not Yi Yu, and had already sharpened his sword. Li Zongren began to prepare for a counterattack on the day of the outbreak of the Soviet-Japanese War. The Ninth War Zone was the most common war zone in the war zone. Most of the troops in the war zone were replaced with Chongqing in a system, and the 15th Army of Chen Cheng's civil engineering system was replaced with full American equipment. This was also because Chiang Kai-shek was not allowed to use the 15th Army.
Before the Double Tenth Festival, the Fifth War Zone launched a massive counterattack. Li Zongren mobilized the 22nd Army and the 33rd Army. The remaining units of the Fifth War Zone formed a reinforcement battalion based on divisions. They had extensive activities.
The entire Fifth War Zone was in full swing, and Anan Wei from Wuhan was shocked by the sound. Before he could react, Xue Yue started to move in the Ninth War Zone. Xue Yue's actions were different from Li Zongren. He used not a whole army, but to draw three from the various army and direct troops under his jurisdiction, and attacked widely from the Xinxiang River with a guerrilla column.
,know, ten thousand
Anan Weiji urgently dispatched three elite divisions of the 11th Division and the 13th Division and two mixed brigades to the north to reinforce northern Hubei, and fought fiercely with the 22nd Army and the 33th Army in Anlu Guangshui, and rushed to Xinqiang River with the 40th Division and the 43th Division. Only one division and one mixed brigade were left in defense in Wuhan and western Hubei.
However, the development of the war shocked senior generals such as Chiang Kai-shek and Chen Cheng. The 33rd Army defeated the 39th and 15th Divisions of the Japanese Army in Guangshui. The 22nd Army fought with the three Japanese divisions and two brigades in Anlu and the two sides were in a stalemate.
The battles in southern Hubei were also fierce, but the Japanese army used many lakes and rivers in southern Hubei to stubbornly block the troops in the Ninth War Zone, and the battle situation between the two sides was in a stalemate.
"Read newspapers, read newspapers, counterattack. The spokesperson of the Military Commission said that this move was to support the Soviet Union." The newspaper boy shouted along the street, and while the citizens were puzzled, a sense of pride arose.
"Reject the Soviet Union's request, the National Government sends troops with righteousness! Read the newspaper! Read the newspaper! Reject the Soviet Union's request, the National Government sends troops with righteousness! Read the newspaper! Read the newspaper!"
Jensen closed the window and let the thin layer of glass break the hustle and bustle of the street, turned back to his desk and continued to write a report to Washington.
"Judged based on various circumstances. The squadron's counterattack was at the request of the Soviet government. According to the information I received, Yan'an refused to launch an offensive in the Yicha War Zone; the commander of the war zone was General Zhu. The main troops were the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army under their leadership; instead, they asked the National Government for help. Surprisingly, the National Government agreed to this request and launched a large-scale offensive in Hubei. They defeated the two-day military divisions in northern Hubei. According to the information obtained by the embassy, the Japanese army urgently reinforced a division from Jiangnan.
Since the counterattack last summer, the squadrons have begun to reorganize the army on a large scale, especially local troops. The way to reorganize the officers, including improving the tactical capabilities of officers. The most important thing is to replace Chongqing production of Muqiu Lian, and the weapons far exceed the weapons they used to use. Facts have proved that after being reorganized, the combat effectiveness has increased significantly.
His Excellency the President, General Stilwell once told me that if Chinese soldiers had the same firepower as Japanese soldiers, no, half of the firepower support. The squadron would easily defeat the Japanese army, and now I believe his judgment.
In addition, Chongqing's diplomatic circles have reported that secret negotiations are being held between China and the Soviet Union, and it is estimated that the two sides may reach a military alliance against Japan
Sure enough, shortly after Jansen's report was submitted, China and the Soviet Union announced that the two sides formed a military alliance. The two sides agreed to jointly fight against Japanese fascism. At the same time, the Soviet Union recognized that Xinjiang is China's inherent territory. Manchuria is Chinese territory. Abolishing the Treaty of the New Soviet Union, it does not support any attempt to split Xinjiang, and supports the National Government as China's only legal government.
But at the subsequent press conference, several reporters from the Central News Agency pursued the relentless pursuit of Yan'an's rejection of the Soviet Union's request, and Cui Koff had to admit that it was true.
Now the new closed community is lively. A large number of reporters gathered outside Hongyan Village, asking for an interview with Zhou Gang to fly to the office reception office like snowflakes. On Thursday, a press conference had to be held.
"Mr. Zhou, don't your party believe in it? Why did he refuse to help the Soviet Union?" A reporter from the Central News Agency took the lead in asking.
"The world comes from the same source. Japan's attack on the Soviet Union is an attack on us. It will definitely be opposed by all the proletariats in the world, including the Japanese working class. Japanese imperialism will definitely be defeated in this war." Zhou Ganglai looked calm and talked freely, but the reporters were dissatisfied. It was obvious that Zhou Ganglai avoided the main problem.
"Mr. Zhou". Mei Youlan stood up. Although Zhou Gang came to know him, she would introduce herself first: "I am a reporter from Yuzhou Evening News. I would like to ask. The National Government launched a large-scale counterattack in the Fifth and Ninth War Zones, and what measures did the Yicha War Zone under the leadership of your party take?
%,Ten thousand
Mei Youlan's problem is aggressive, Zhou Ganglai seemed to have expected this problem, and he smiled gently: "The Yicha War Zone also participated in the War of Resistance Against Japan under the leadership of the Military Committee of the National Government. Since the outbreak of the War of Resistance, our Eighth Route Army New Fourth Army actively operated behind enemy lines. It attacked extensively in Hebei, Chahar, Suiyuan and other regions, and gave heavy blows to the Japanese invaders. Now the Eighth Route Army New Fourth Army is fighting against more than 400,000 Japanese troops and all puppet troops, which strongly supports the frontal battlefield and the Soviet Russian battlefield.
Mei Youlan sighed in her heart. Zhou hid again, but she didn't know that Zhou Ganglai was so nervous. The central government called them and asked them to minimize the impact of this matter. In fact, Cui Kov admitted that after Moscow asked for help from Yan'an, it had caused some fluctuations in Yan'an. Wang Ming, who had been recuperating, has now become active again. Bogu also questioned Yan'an's decision in Chongqing. He believed that the Eighth Route Army New Fourth Army should attack with all its strength and restrain the Japanese attack.
"Mr. Zhou, I am a reporter from Ta Kung Pao." There were still reporters who rushed up without fear to challenge the wisdom of Thursday: "It is said that the Soviet Union is willing to provide equipment for three armies to Yan'an, on the condition that the Eighth Route Army's New Fourth Army must launch an attack on the Japanese army. For this reason, Yan'an refused. Does this mean that the lack of weapons and ammunition in the past was just an excuse to find for your party's travel?
"Haha, this reporter is interesting. The Eighth Route Army urgently needs weapons and ammunition. If we can get the equipment of three armies, we are of course very willing. But the equipment promised by the Soviet Union needs to be used to send troops to the China-Mongolia border to seize it. But you know that the China-Mongolia border has to pass through an uncovered grassland. If the Eighth Route Army easily enters this grassland, it will definitely be bombed by Japanese planes and pursued by armored troops. It will definitely suffer major losses and may even be eliminated." Zhou Ganglai's attitude was very sincere and impeccable.
When Zhou Gang came to see off the reporters with a smile, his face became gloomy. Now the situation is very clear. The Kuomintang used the Soviet Union to seek help to launch a political and propaganda war, and in this struggle, he was in a full passive position. This has never been before.
When the Chongqing media launched an offensive, Zhou Gang came and felt a little dangerous. After he reported to the central government, the central government also felt something was wrong. They sent an emergency telegram to tell them to minimize the impact of the matter. However, Chongqing is not Yan'an, and Yan'an can take action, but Chongqing cannot do it.
The Kuomintang didn't even need to use any administrative means. From support, this huge span was originally a major news. However, due to serious dissatisfaction with Yan'an, the Soviet side deliberately admitted this to the outside world. The facts made it difficult to distinguish and put out the fire even if they wanted to distinguish.
"I still don't understand whether Comrade VCD is still a member. The Soviet Union was attacked, but he was indifferent! If we are both people, we are still a branch under the leadership of the Communist International!"
Before Zhou Gang came, he heard Bo Gu complaining inside. Since the news of the Soviet Union asking for help from Yan'an was exposed, Bo Gu has been complaining like this and questioning the central government's decision.
If there is another question, Dong Wu or Li Nong, Ye Jianying would have long refuted that since its birth, China has always regarded the Soviet Union as a revolutionary holy land and a beacon. Most leaders in the party have been in the Soviet Union. The party’s policies have been formulated by Moscow for a long time. If the Soviet Union is windy, it will start to rain within the party. Among all the leaders in Yan'an, the only one is the rudder. Dare to refuse Moscow's request.
In fact, Zhou Ganglai was a little hesitant at the beginning, but now he has considered it clearly. He thought it was right to do the 0. In any case, the army must be saved. The Eighth Route Army New Fourth Army attacked with the main force. According to the information obtained by the central government, the Japanese were not unprepared for this, and the risk was too great.
But if you think it through, you can't say it clearly. The young cadres and soldiers of the Southern Bureau are full of feelings for the Soviet Union and do not understand the central government's decisions. What you say is not to add fuel to the fire.
"The Kuomintang also knew about the joint war of resistance and helped the Soviet Union. I think it was not as good as the Kuomintang." Bo Gu's attitude became more and more intense, and the more he spoke, he became more and more outrageous.
