The current strength of the US-Australian coalition forces exceeds 400,000, what kind of virtue the Americans are, Zhuo Fei knows very well, once they lead the military operation to attack the Japanese mainland, or let them become the main force attacking the Japanese mainland, the umbrella that has made a lot of efforts in the early stage will also be reduced to a supporting role or even a trick, and will not be able to participate in the feast of interests of Japan after the war, which is what Zhuo Fei is most worried about.

But Sir James only promised to support some fighters to the umbrella, but the specific delivery time of the fighters has not yet been determined, and the fighters produced by the British in Australia still need to be modified, which will take a lot of time, but Zhuo Fei can't continue to wait now. Such a dilemma made Zhuo Fei feel somewhat tricky, so he would gather his staff to discuss.

"Boss, the second batch of recruits we helped the Chinese government train has been in the training camp in Ruili for more than 8 months, is it time to release them out for actual combat?" Wu Xunzhou, who has always been a man of few words, was the first to speak, and when he said this, the other staff members reacted. Yes, the Umbrella did not move south to the training camp in Ruili, and when it moved south to the Jewish settlement, the Umbrella had accepted Chongqing's request to help the Chinese army train the second batch of New Army troops, and so far, the second batch of 200,000 New Army troops have been training in Ruili for more than eight months.

"That's right, boss, the current war in the Northeast is not clear, if we transfer these 200,000 New Army troops who have been training for more than eight months to the northeast, I think the situation we expect to see will be further clarified, and in this way, it will also be a help to the Dangkou army on the Korean Peninsula." After Wu Xunzhou, there were staff members who spoke one after another, and most of the focus of the topic revolved around the 200,000 new troops.

Betting chips on the Northeast Battlefield at this time is indeed a good move, but Zhuo Fei doesn't know if Chongqing will agree to this plan. "The temporary fleet was transferred to the Philippine battlefield, and for a short period of time, our troops stranded on Jeju Island could not receive convenient logistical assistance. But we still have a lot of cargo ships on our hands, and we can convert them at the Kuala Lumpur shipyard right away, and it is impossible to expect them to be the main force in naval warfare, but at least they can be used as transport ships and fixed batteries. ”

"That's right, the situation in South Asia is stable at the moment, and any additional servant troops can be transferred north. If we use China's second-line troops and servant troops to hold the line and assist China's Forces nouvelles to attack in separate ways, the Japanese army may not be an opponent. Once the balance of forces between the enemy and us is unanimous, we will be the superior side with strong firepower and weapons, and I think that when the time comes, the Japanese army will only take the initiative to retreat in addition to fighting hard with us. ”

Zhuo Fei's staff members came up with a lot of useful strategies, and after Zhuo Fei groaned slightly, he immediately asked the communications staff officer to send a telegram to Chongqing, asking if the 200,000 reserve new troops in the Ruili training camp could be mobilized to fight north. With the conquest of Jeju Island and MacArthur's counteroffensive against the Philippines, popular enthusiasm for the war of resistance further increased, and newspapers even appeared with long reports calling for the government to completely drive the Japanese out of China as soon as possible.

Under such circumstances, Zhuo Fei's telegram to Chongqing was treated with caution by the top government officials, and Chiang Kai-shek convened a special meeting to discuss the matter. "I think I can promise Zhuo Fei, after all, the 200,000 reserve new army went north to drive the Japanese out of the northeast as soon as possible, and the weapons and equipment produced by Ruili Arsenal are enough to equip 200,000 reserve new army troops." Zhou Enlai has been paying attention to the cooperation between the government and the umbrella, and after learning that Zhuo Fei had another big action, after learning more about it, Zhou Enlai chose to support Zhuo Fei's plan.

Chiang Kai-shek, as always, did not express his position on the spot, but those who attended the meeting could see that Chiang Kai-shek had actually already made a move, and the convening of this meeting was just a gesture of Chiang Kai-shek. A day later, just when Zhuo Fei thought that Chongqing would reject him, the Ruili training camp suddenly received an order from Chongqing, requiring the 200,000 reserve new troops trained in the Ruili training camp to rush to Kunming to assemble immediately.

The endless stream of trucks drove out of the Ruili Arsenal and galloped all the way to the training base dozens of kilometers away, where 200,000 soldiers of the New Army who had completed their training were waiting for weapons and equipment to be sent from the arsenal. Thanks to the large road-building machinery and equipment left by the umbrella company to Chongqing, Chongqing has already connected the railway between Kunming and Chongqing, and the soldiers of the New Army, who have received weapons and equipment, will board a train from Kunming and go straight to Chongqing, and then change to a truck in Chongqing to go north to Shanxi, and then exit the customs and enter the northeast.

It only takes 15 days for the first batch of 30,000 reserve recruits to arrive at the Jinzhou front, and the follow-up recruits will also move north to the northeast to prepare for war in 10 days. Zhuo Fei, who learned the news, couldn't help but be overjoyed, adding another 200,000 new army troops in the northeast region after 8 months of rigorous training was definitely a great pressure on the Japanese army, but it was a big help for the umbrella. According to the order issued by the Chongqing side, the troops of the New Army in the northeast launched another attack on the Japanese army, and after Zhuo Yan's independent army left at the northern tip of the Korean Peninsula joined the servant army troops heading north, it also began to attack and encircle the Japanese troops entrenched in the Tonghua and Baishan areas from the flank.

In the counterattack battle in which the servant army and the Korean Independence Army participated, they still adhered to the consistent style of the protective umbrella, never confronting the Japanese army head-on, but gradually expanding the number of Japanese casualties in a small way, and in just one week, thousands of Japanese troops from all walks of life in the northeast have been killed, in addition to more than 10,000 wounded soldiers. Consume as much of the Japanese army's vital strength as possible, this is the core idea of this counterattack battle, compared with the Japanese army face-to-face positional duel, it seems that this method can more effectively destroy the Japanese army's fighting spirit and confidence.

Small-scale firefights were staged every day on the land of Northeast China as scheduled, and if the Forces nouvelles or servant forces took advantage, it would be better to say that if the Japanese army took advantage, the rocket artillery vehicles provided by the umbrella would immediately be dispatched to make the Japanese army cry bitterly with a mountain of covering bombing. The area of engagement between the two sides seems to be changing every day, the new army is almost encroaching on the original Japanese control area little by little, with the arrival of 200,000 reserve new army troops, the Chinese army side with high fighting spirit has been secretly brewing a big battle.

Although the New Third Army commanded by Lin Biao was not as eye-catching as the New First Army, which had the first armored division, among the other four units of the New Army, the New Third Army commanded by Lin Biao was the unit with the smallest casualties and the greatest results. "At present, the Japanese army in Shenyang has become a lone army, whether we are ready to encircle the point to send reinforcements or lure the snake out of the hole, they will choose not to hold out. The Japanese army has already built a new defensive line along the Sipyeong and Liaoyuan lines, and the servant troops of the umbrella have cooperated with the Korean Independence Army to help us contain the Japanese forces in Tonghwa and Baeksan, so I think we should change the original battle plan and change the combat objectives at the same time. ”

On the map spread out in front of Lin Biao, Lin Biao had already drawn a big arrow with a red pencil, and the final destination of the arrow was actually Changchun. "That's right, it's Changchun, the Japanese army built a defensive line in Siping and Liaoyuan, on the one hand, to defend Changchun, and on the other hand, it also has the intention of waiting for an opportunity to support Shenyang. If we can defeat Changchun, not only will the Japanese army in Shenyang not be able to continue to consume us, but their defensive lines in Siping and Liaoyuan will be useless, and as long as Changchun is taken, we will be able to blitzkrieg Jilin and completely block the land passage between the Japanese army in the northeast and the Japanese army in Korea. ”

The generals of the New Army who attended the meeting were all interested in the battle plan proposed by Lin Biao, because in this way, the battle would inevitably evolve into a real battle around Changchun. After some heated debate, Lin Biao, who proposed the plan, was given the task of leading his troops north to bypass Shuangliao and coerce Changchun, while the other four New Army units were not idle, and they all had to shoulder the task of attracting the attention of the Japanese troops in Siping and Liaoyuan.

The battle plan of the new army was quickly sent to Jiaodong, and Zhuo Fei took his combat staff to conduct repeated sand table deductions before calling back to express his approval. Lin Biao was the best senior commander in the Eighth Route Army, and when it came to the ability to fight, there was almost no one in the Eighth Route Army. Knowing that Lin Biao was the person who formulated this battle plan, Zhuo Fei had to secretly sigh at Lin Biao's boldness, but at the same time, Zhuo Fei also knew that the success rate of this battle plan would be very high.

In order to facilitate the smooth implementation of this combat plan, Zhuo Fei specially mobilized a group of fighters from Jiaodong to go north to the northeast to help in the war, and also equipped the New Third Army under the command of Lin Biao with 12 armed helicopters. In the face of Vivian's puzzlement, Zhuo Fei's explanation was extremely simple, "If everything goes well, we can really cut off the land passage between the Japanese army in the northeast and the Japanese army in Korea, which is very important for the next action of the Dangkou army." ”

Zhuo Fei is well aware of the current shortcomings in the combat power of the servant army and the Korean Independence Army troops, and the only thing Zhuo Fei can rely on at present is to hope that the new army can take Changchun and occupy Jilin, because only in this way can the umbrella rely on the new army to cut off the land passage between the northeast and the Korean Peninsula, in order to truly solve the worries of the Dangkou army, and to make the Dangkou army exert its real strength. For now, only by completely liberating the Dangkou army can Zhuo Fei have the possibility and capital to implement the next plan.
