"Commander-in-Chief, as of noon today, our army has captured Jiutai, Nong'an, Daheishan, Shuangyang and other places. The troops are advancing towards Changchun from four directions. By the end of today, all the surrounding counties will be recovered!"

Zhang Shengqing personally introduced the current situation to Jiangdong.

"There are many railways and highways in Changchun, but at the same time, there are river networks, and the movement of our army's heavy equipment is slow. It is expected that the final battle will be on September 9th!"

Jiang Dong nodded,

"September 9th is a good time, just follow your plan!

Tell me more in detail."

"The troops currently surrounding Changchun mainly include the 1st Army, 2nd Army, 3rd Army and 5th Army, the Young Guards, four armored divisions, and a cavalry group with 50,000 cavalry!"

Every time Zhang Shengqing said the name of a group army, its officers would stand up involuntarily, with excitement and pride in their eyes.

"The 1st Army and the Young Guards are responsible for the west, the 2nd Army and the 3rd Army are attacking the north and east of Changchun respectively, and the 5th Army and the Cavalry Group are in the south!

The four armored divisions are the vanguard of the entire army, opening a breakthrough for the infantry units like sharp knives!

The preliminary plan is this:"

Zhang Shengqing paused,

"After the final battle began, all the troops went out with all their strength, trying to capture the Japanese positions outside the city in half a day, and the troops reached the Changchun city wall!

The 2nd Army and the Armored Division are responsible for siege warfare and street fighting after entering the city!

………”

The 5th Army captured Fengtian, the 3rd Army took the lead in entering Harbin, the 1st Army captured Longjiang, the 4th Army was far away in Andong, and the 2nd Army had no chance to shine yet. The glory of this final battle will be given to them.

Zhang Shengqing considered the matter very comprehensively, Jiang Dong nodded while listening, and finally felt relieved.

He turned to look at all the officers in the headquarters and said in a deep tone:

"Operation Songhua River has been going on for more than 20 days, and I believe that you and your soldiers are very tired!

Fortunately, the final battle is coming soon. After destroying the Japanese Flower, everyone will have at least half a year's rest!

You must have heard about the current international situation. In half a year, our army will go to a new battlefield!

I hope you will cheer up and finish this final battle beautifully, giving Operation Songhua River a perfect ending!

The folks in the Northeast and compatriots all over the country are looking at us, looking at the shame of our bloody September 18th!

The upright Chinese people, the ever-victorious Chinese army, are talking about you, me, and our Sixth Corps!"

Jiang Dong glanced at everyone, and said loudly:

"Now I order that the final battle of Operation Songhua River has officially begun. All group armies must follow the combat plan and arrive at the designated combat position within the scheduled time!

On September 9th, destroy the Kwantung Army and recapture Changchun!"

"Whoa!"

The officers all stood at attention and saluted, their movements solemn and neat.

"yes!!!"

Jiang Dong watched his senior officers walk out of the headquarters one by one in high spirits, with a happy aunt's smile on their faces.

After everyone left, Wu Zhan walked slowly to Jiangdong and handed over a telegram.

"Ahem, Commander-in-Chief, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate for you to look at the Army Division Order with such eyes."

Wu Zhan said jokingly.

Jiang Dong rolled his eyes, took the telegram and began to read it casually.

The telegram was sent from Peiping by Xie Chengrui, which conveyed the Chairman's intention.

After reading the telegram, Jiang Dong's smile did not diminish, and he said casually:

"The prestige of the central government, haha... Those people in Chongqing are getting thicker and thicker!"

"How to reply?"

Jiang Dong glanced at the telegram again and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"At this time, we should indeed maintain the same position as Chongqing, and we should not do things that make relatives happy and enemies happy! What the chairman wants is nothing more than face, so let's give it to him!

You don’t have to lose face, but you can’t lose the actual benefits in the negotiation!”

"The Americans were dragged into Yunnan by the military. Otherwise, we should choose Kunming as the venue for Sino-US negotiations. This can be regarded as a way for us to express our protest!" Wu Zhan suggested.

Jiang Dong spread his hands,

“Of course there is no problem in choosing Kunming!

The Americans rose up mainly to stand up for the establishment of the anti-fascist alliance, and they should not talk about the coordinated operations of the Allies and the distribution of post-war benefits, etc.!

Our most important thing is to express our attitude and clarify our future status among the Allies!"

"Obviously, the Chongqing government is in charge. We also need to send people there, and we also need to find ways to gain the initiative in negotiations." Wu Zhan asked:

"Does the Commander-in-Chief have a suitable candidate in mind?"

Jiang Dong rubbed the telegram with his fingers, thought for a moment and said:

"Go and call Lu Zhuoran over!"

Wu Zhan was startled for a moment, and then smiled knowingly. Lu Zhuoran was indeed a suitable candidate.

With the existence of the Military Intelligence Bureau, Jiangdong knew everything inside the Sixth Corps.

Of course, it also includes the Zhenghua Youth Society organized by a group of young people such as Lu Zhuoran.

From the youth club's initial youthfulness to its gradual maturity, Jiang Dong has been watching from the sidelines.

Jiangdong's attitude towards the Youth Society is that as long as the members of the Youth Society continue to adhere to their original aspirations, take the revitalization of China as their own responsibility, do not deviate from tradition, and adhere to Jiangdong's anti-Japanese and national views, then he will not interfere too much in the development of the society.

What Jiangdong led was actually a military government.

The emergence of the Zhenhua Youth Society allowed Jiangdong to see other effective ways to bring together ambitious young people from various systems such as the military, administration, and industry.

The emergence of a core organization outside the military government is beneficial to overall unity.

As for possible conflicts with the Chongqing government in the future, Jiangdong is not worried at all.

As long as the mushroom bomb is developed, all conflicts will be solved.

On the way here, Wu Zhan had already told Lu Zhuoran the general situation of the negotiations.

When meeting Jiang Dong, Lu Zhuoran asked directly:

"What attitude should I adopt when going to Kunming for negotiations?"

Jiang Dong smiled and said:

"Since the establishment of our 6th Corps until today, we have only one attitude toward all internal and external forces: toughness!"

"I understand!" Lu Zhuoran nodded!

"I will personally participate in the negotiations between the Allies. Before that, you must express to the Americans our attitude towards seeking great power status!" Jiang Dong warned seriously:

"In the future alliance, we can accept the first and second positions, but we must not succumb to third or worse!"

"yes!"

Jiang Dong thought of another possibility and said:

"The founding conference of the Allied Powers will most likely be held in the Americas. You have to fight for this location. Although the possibility is very low, don't give up. If we can choose it in our country, we will secure the top spot!"

Both Wu Zhan and Lu Zhuoran's eyes shone brightly, especially the latter's. He felt that Jiang Du's actions were highly in line with the program and purpose of the Youth Society, and he was extremely excited.

"You can choose the other members of the negotiating team yourself. In the end, all you have to do is submit the list to me!" Jiang Dong confidently delegated power.

Lu Zhuoran felt Jiang Dong's trust and promised to complete the task resolutely.

"Go ahead, the plane has been prepared for you. Return to Peiping overnight. If you encounter anything you are unsure about, discuss it with the chief of staff!"
Chapter completed!
