Chapter 41: Partnering Again (1)

Zhuo Yan's guerrilla warfare was in full swing, and the rear defense line of the Japanese army in Dandong was gradually torn apart by the Korean Independence Army commanded by Zhuo Yan, and the logistics supply line was cut off many times. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info only a few days, the number of stocks of the Dandong Japanese army plummeted, if it continued like this, there was no need to wait for the confrontation with them to attack the army, just because of the shortage of materials and supply difficulties will make the Dandong Japanese army confused.

Unable to sit idly by and watch the enemy attack everywhere like rats, the Japanese troops stationed in Tonghua finally attacked again, pursuing and encircling the enemy forces that were harassing the supply lines. The Kwantung Army was different from the ordinary Japanese army, and the Kwantung Army, which had been stationed in the northeast for a long time, was very familiar with the terrain of the northeast, especially in the battle with the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance, and even worked out a set of effective mountain combat tactics. Compared with the field troops of the Kwantung Army, the raid troops commanded by Zhuo Yan could only rely on the superiority of weapons and equipment.

The Kwantung Army was familiar with the terrain of the northeast, while the Korean Independence Army commanded by Zhuo Yan was familiar with the terrain of northern Korea, and both sides relied on the terrain they were familiar with to fight with each other, and the war situation was constantly changing at any time, and the field wing of the Kwantung Army from Tonghua to the south had gradually been led to the territory of Korea. The field wing of the Kwantung Army, which was originally deployed in Tonghua, was led to North Korea by Zhuo Yan, and when the troops on the Dandong to Tonghua line were empty, the Dangkou Army once again used helicopter units and airlifted more than two battalions of troops to the rear line of the Japanese army in Dandong.

The frog jumping tactics were not really displayed, but the ability of the helicopter unit to transport troops at a fixed point by leaps and bounds was refreshing to the command of the Dangkou Army. In the next few days, the helicopter unit did not stop for a moment, and kept transporting troops or supplies to different locations according to the order, until the moment when the Dangkou army launched an advance on Dandong, the Japanese army in Dandong found itself as if it was surrounded.

"To be honest, I am not arrogant enough to think that I can deal with Japan alone by relying on my own protective umbrella, but I want to make it clear to you that at least more than half of everything I do now is for the sake of the Chinese nation." Just when the Japanese soldiers in Dandong were panicking, Zhuo Fei, who was far away in Australia, finally waited for his long-awaited guest---- Zhou Enlai from Chongqing. Zhou Enlai and his entourage came to Australia at the invitation of Zhuo Fei, and the delegation headed by Zhou Enlai truly united the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, with half members of the CCP and half of the Kuomintang.

"Zhou Gong, the umbrella is fundamentally a commercial company, and since it is a company, it must be responsible for the company's shareholders and employees. If I blindly damage the self-interest of the umbrella, then I, the boss, will also be overthrown by other shareholders. Zhuo Fei patiently explained his difficulties to Zhou Enlai, and Zhuo Fei could only refuse the CCP's request for rocket artillery weapons and design drawings.

In fact, Zhou Enlai didn't need to say anything, just looking at the two entourages who had been following Zhou Enlai closely, Zhuo Fei knew that it was the Soviets who really wanted the rocket artillery technology of the umbrella company. Zhou Enlai didn't know that Zhuo Fei had already recognized the identities of his two entourage, and if Zhou Enlai knew that Zhuo Fei had a cheat system, he would never have brought two people sent by the Comintern to meet Zhuo Fei.

"Zhou Gong, what I want to know is, why are the coalition forces stagnating? At present, it seems that the only ones who are actively fighting the Japanese army are the Dangkou army, and if the coalition forces continue to confront the Japanese army, I think I can only transfer the Dangkou army back to South Asia. Ignoring the two entourages behind Zhou Enlai, Zhuo Fei asked Zhou Enlai his questions and tried to get answers from Zhou Enlai.

"General Zhuo, I am only responsible for people's livelihood and military affairs within the coalition government, and I am not very clear." Zhou Enlai's answer was a little beyond Zhuo Fei's expectations, Xu noticed the change in Zhuo Fei's face, and Zhou Enlai paused slightly before continuing. "However, as far as I know, the second-line troops in China have moved from North China to Guanwai, and the New Army troops assembled on the front line in Shenyang have made a posture of going north to Tongliao and Baicheng, I think their next step will be to take the initiative to cut the connection between the Kwantung Army and Inner Mongolia."

The second half of Zhou Enlai's words caused Zhuo Fei to be in a short trance, and the new army troops were ready to cut off the connection between the Kwantung Army and Inner Mongolia at this time, which was undoubtedly a provocation to the Kwantung Army. The Kwantung Army has always adhered to the will of the Japanese cabinet, and when it called Inner Mongolia to the outside world, it was a general term like Manchuria, and the purpose was to annex Mongolia as it had invaded Manchuria. In a sense, the New Army's move has seriously provoked the face of the Kwantung Army, but Zhuo Fei did not remind Zhou Enlai to ask the New Army to be vigilant against the Kwantung Army's counterattack, and he didn't know if anyone listened to what he said.

On the third day after Zhou Enlai and his entourage arrived in Australia, Zhuo Fei finally gave a brief introduction to Zhou Enlai and his party in the war room of the umbrella base. Looking at the huge and delicate sand table in front of them, several officers in the inspection group all had bright eyes, and they couldn't wait to grab this sand table and move back to Chongqing. "This sand table was made by the umbrella staff department for a month and summarizing countless intelligence, and the rivers, roads, and bridges on the sand table are all real, and they are all made in strict accordance with the physical proportions."

"We invited Chongqing to send an inspection delegation to Australia, the real purpose is for the sake of the next battle plan of the Dangkou Army, which will enter North Korea to fight in the next step, but we need Chongqing's full support." Zhuo Fei's words have been said clearly, but to Zhou Enlai and others, it was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, why did the Dangkou army have to go to North Korea to fight the Japanese army?

Pointing to the large map hanging on the wall with the baton in his hand, Zhuo Fei immediately solved the doubts for Zhou Enlai and others on the spot, "Everyone, please look here, this is a map of the world, here is the Japanese mainland, and here is the Korean Peninsula." As you can see, compared to Shandong and Shanghai in China, the southern part of Korea is the closest land to the Japanese mainland. After entering Korea, the Dangkou army will go all the way south to find an opportunity to establish a temporary forward base along the southern coastline of Korea, and I think that if the planes take off from here, the possibility of bombing the Japanese mainland will be greatly increased. ”

Zhuo Fei's words were like a thunderbolt in the clear sky again, and Zhou Enlai and others who were bombed almost forgot to breathe, bombing the Japanese mainland, what a crazy idea. Without waiting for Zhou Enlai and the others to speak, Zhuo Fei preemptively spoke, "Everyone, bombing the Japanese mainland is not an unattainable thing, and at present, the technical team of our umbrella has completed the upgrade and research and development of the latest B29 heavy bomber in the United States. The upgraded heavy bombers not only carry more bombs by 20%, but also have a greatly increased combat radius, allowing them to take off from the coast of China to carry out air strikes against the Japanese mainland, even if they do not take off from North Korea. “

Zhuo Fei's words puzzled Nian Nianlai, and asked Zhuo Fei with a frown, "Since this new type of bomber doesn't have to take off from North Korea, why does the Dangkou Army insist on entering North Korea to fight the Japanese army?" Once the Dangkou army forms a lone army, it may face a situation of being besieged or completely surrounded by the Japanese army, have you considered the hidden dangers in this regard? “

"Zhou Gong's question is good, in fact, what I want to say is that the southward movement of the Dangkou army in Korea is just a trick, and the real purpose is only to cover up the Umbrella's imminent operation of building a large airport on the Shandong Peninsula. As I said earlier, the upgraded heavy bombers are fully capable of taking off from the Shandong Peninsula to directly attack the Japanese mainland, and these upgraded fighters are also capable of blockading the Bohai Bay. ”

Zhuo Fei mentioned the three words Bohai Bay in his words, Zhou Enlai couldn't help but move in his heart, leaned over to look at the map hanging on the wall, and after a while, Zhou Enlai finally came back to his senses, and he had roughly understood Zhuo Fei's true intentions. "Awesome, it's really interlocking." After Zhou Enlai figured everything out, he couldn't help but secretly admire Zhuo Fei's arrangement in his heart, if this arrangement can be successful, it will definitely be a great blow to Japan.

Zhuo Fei knew that Zhou Enlai had already understood his arrangement, so he didn't continue to explain anything to others, but continued to ask Zhou Enlai about things related to Shandong. "Zhou Gong, the umbrella only needs a short-term base on the Shandong Peninsula, once the arrangement of the umbrella on the Shandong Peninsula achieves tactical results, when the umbrella completely withdraws from China, those facilities will also be handed over to you free of charge. Zhou Gong, to say something private, this matter is related to public and private, and you will not suffer. ”

Zhou Enlai's strength is not in military command, but there are a few officers from the Ministry of Military Affairs in the inspection group, who carefully listened to the content of Zhou Enlai's retelling, and then thought of the giant sand table he saw that day, one of those officers suddenly lost his voice and shouted. "No, the direction of the umbrella must still be North Korea, otherwise the continuation of the new army to the north will be useless. The umbrella is to turn the whole of Korea into a battlefield, and the base they built in Shandong is only an auxiliary role, and when necessary, it can also carry out air support across the sea to the Korean battlefield. ”

The delegation's discussion of Zhuo Fei's words did not escape Zhuo Fei's ears and eyes, but Zhuo Fei didn't care much about it. "What they see is only one aspect, but in fact, the original intention of this plan is to be false, and if the situation is in our favor, North Korea can become the main battlefield. If the war is unfavorable, we will shift our focus to the Shandong base, and as long as we firmly grasp the rhythm of the war, this cooperation with Chongqing will not be in vain. ”
