Chapter Seventy-Five: Waiting

Everything seemed to be going well, but Zhuo Fei suddenly became a little confused, and suddenly, Zhuo Fei began to doubt the correctness of this attack. The Korean Independence Army www.biquge.info only 60,000 troops, and the troops transferred north into the Korean Peninsula under the umbrella plus the Dangkou Army are only 150,000 in scale, and it is said that 210,000 troops are enough to resist the Japanese army on the Korean Peninsula, but Zhuo Fei suddenly had some doubts about the combat effectiveness of the Korean Independence Army and the servant army, and he didn't want to lose all the Dangkou Army here.

However, the situation on the Korean Peninsula is already on the verge of breaking out, and the protective umbrella has already severed its relations with Chongqing from the surface, and if the protective umbrella, which currently has the upper hand, gives up this opportunity, it may be squeezed out of the Korean Peninsula by the Japanese army, which is secretly massing heavy troops. Attacking the Japanese mainland has always been Zhuo Fei's ultimate goal, because he knows that only in this way can this protracted war be ended as soon as possible and China can recover as soon as possible.

"It's a big deal that we can do it all over again, as long as our base in Western Australia is still there, and those Jewish experts are still there, the umbrella will have a day to rise again." The confusion in Zhuo Fei's eyes had already been seen by Zhuo Yan and others, and at this time, the only one who could comfort Zhuo Fei might be Vivian. Vivian's words made Zhuo Fei's eyes light up, that's right, even if the umbrella fails this time, as long as the base in Australia is still there, as long as those Jewish experts are still there, the umbrella will still have a chance to rise.

Zhuo Fei from later generations and even the power of science and technology are so strong that he has always taken good care of those Jewish scientists and engineers who are willing to accept the employment of the umbrella, not only giving them the best living environment and conditions, but also doing his best to provide and find experimental equipment and materials for them. Although the Jewish Independence Army has fully turned to Britain and the United States, more than 30,000 Jewish scientists and engineers, experts, and scholars of all kinds are still employed by the umbrella, in addition to a large number of Jewish craftsmen and technicians working in the factories of the umbrella base.

Relying on the various resources transported to Western Australia by the five South Asian countries, the base of the umbrella in Western Australia has gradually returned to the original level in Ruili, although the scale is not as good as before, but the ability to develop new products has been much higher. In line with the idea of prevention and unwillingness to be controlled by others, from the day the Western Australian base was established, Angela followed Zhuo Fei's secret order to select reserve forces from the Chinese who moved to the five countries in South Asia to enter the base to study, so that it only took a few years, even if all the Jews turned against the umbrella at that time, Zhuo Fei still had a large number of Chinese forces in his hands for the umbrella.

Vivian's words reminded Zhuo Fei that since he had already arranged a way back for the umbrella, what was there to be afraid of in the predicament in front of him, just start over again. Zhuo Fei, who had figured it out, swept away his previous hesitation and immediately issued an order to the main force of the Dangkou Army, which had quietly left Incheon, to stand by, waiting for the combat aircraft group from Australia to rush to the Korean Peninsula, which was the beginning of the general offensive.

The Korean Peninsula was calm, but Konoe Fumima, who was far away in Chongqing, had already ordered the Korean Japanese army to be on guard, and at the same time urgently ordered the Japanese army in the northeast to immediately move eastward to the Korean Peninsula in order to flank the umbrella forces entrenched in the Korean Peninsula. "Mr. Sasaki, we have not yet received an order from Chongqing, and before we receive the order, it is absolutely impossible for our department to withdraw the troops from Tonghua to Dunhua, otherwise I, the commander, will be punished by Chongqing and even tried by a military court." Dai Anlan, who commanded the New First Army, politely refused the Japanese army's request, which greatly annoyed the Japanese envoy who rushed to Tonghua.

The New First Army commanded by Dai Anlan had made great achievements in the Northeast Battlefield, and he was already a celebrity in Chongqing, and the transfer of his New First Army to the line from Tonghua to Dunhua was originally just an opportunity for the Military and Political Affairs Department to prevent the New First Army from covering up the faces of several other New Army, but no one would have thought that Dai Anlan's New First Army would become the biggest obstacle to the eastward advance of the Japanese army in Northeast China into the Korean Peninsula. The envoys sent by the Japanese army in the northeast have been stranded in Tonghua for more than three days, and no matter what means and temptations are used, the new army will not give an inch, and the new army's move has made the Japanese army in the northeast crazy.

The Japanese army in the northeast was very annoyed by the New First Army, but they did not dare to use force against the New First Army, because in the Shenyang area on the left flank of the New First Army, there was still a new force stationed in the Shenyang area---- which had just joined the Northeast Battlefield for less than half a month. The first batch of 300,000 new troops trained by the umbrella to help the Chongqing coalition government at the earliest, was divided into five independent combat units after the formation of the army, and the number was also ranked from the New First Army to the New Fifth Army.

At a time when the Japanese were diverting most of their energies to the American continent and promising the Germans to take action against the Soviet forces in the Far East, the Japanese cabinet took the initiative to propose an armistice and peace talks to China for the first time. At this time, the Umbrella began to help the coalition government train the second batch of new troops, and due to the limited supply of weapons and equipment, the second group of new troops trained by the umbrella was only 200,000 people. The New Seventh Army, currently stationed in Shenyang, is the second batch of new army units to leave the Ruili training camp. The second batch of 200,000 new troops was divided into four independent combat units, and the number was also ranked from the New Sixth Army to the New Ninth Army, with a unified number of 50,000.

The Chinese army suddenly had 500,000 well-equipped troops of the New Army, which was not a good thing for the Japanese army. The Japanese army has learned many times about the combat effectiveness of the new army, especially the Kwantung Army, which the Japanese army called elite, suffered heavy casualties at the hands of the new army. Therefore, after learning that there was still a new army unit stationed in Shenyang, the Japanese army in the northeast, which was originally full of resentment against the new army, had to temporarily suppress the resentment in their hearts and start another war with the 500,000 Chinese new army.

No matter what the Northeast Japanese Army said, the New First Army under the command of Dai Anlan just refused to give way, and the Japanese Army in the Northeast had no choice but to move south from the Mudanjiang River north of Dunhua, and part of it crossed the Tumen River from the Hunchun area into North Hamgyong Province in North Korea, while the other part went directly to Vladivostok, and this part of the Japanese army tried to land directly on the northern coast of the Korean Peninsula by sea. Dai Anlan's new army could only hold the line from Tonghua to Dunhua and not give the Japanese army in the northeast the opportunity to enter the Korean Peninsula easily, but he could not stop the Japanese army from bypassing Hunchun and moving south, because Zhuo Fei, who received the telegram on this matter, did not care very much.

The northeast Japanese army marched eastward into the Korean Peninsula, which was originally expected by Zhuo Fei, but he did not expect that the northeastern Japanese army advancing eastward would be divided into two. Zhuo Fei was not afraid of the part of the Japanese army that went south from North Hamgyong Province, the terrain in North Hamgyong Province and the Northeast were completely different, and compared with the vast Northeast, North Hamgyong Province was a mountainous terrain at all. Because of the terrain of North Hamgyong Province, many of the heavy weapons equipped by the Japanese troops in Northeast China could not guarantee the speed of their march, and if they were to ensure that these heavy weapons were not left behind, the Japanese troops going south from North Hamgyong Province would slow down their journey.

In fact, Zhuo Fei had already equipped gifts for the northeastern Japanese army in North Hamgyong Province, and more than 20,000 mountain troops of the Korean Independence Army and 50,000 servant troops had already been broken into pieces and ambushed in the Hamgyong Mountains in North Hamgyong Province, and now they were just waiting for the appearance of the Japanese army going south. If it was a positional battle with the Japanese army facing the enemy head-on, Zhuo Fei would never deploy 70,000 troops into North Hamgyong Province, but if it was a mountain battle with the Japanese army, the Korean Independence Army, which was familiar with the terrain, and the South Asian servant army, which was good at mountain warfare, were not inferior to the Japanese army in Northeast China.

The Japanese army in the northeast tried to land on the northern coastline of the Korean Peninsula by sea, and Zhuo Fei did not really pay attention to it, the Korean Japanese army did not have a naval fleet in the real sense at all, and Zhuo Fei had already secretly transferred the submarine formation trained in the South Asian waters to the Korean waters to prepare for war. Deciding to provoke another war on the Korean Peninsula, Zhuo Fei had already thought of all the issues that needed to be considered, and in order for the Japanese to completely shift their attention to the American continent, the movement of the umbrella on the Korean Peninsula must be big.

With the 210,000 troops in his hand, Zhuo Fei didn't expect to be able to eat the Korean Japanese army in one bite, and the Japanese army in the northeast had also moved south into the Korean Peninsula. But Zhuo Fei was sure enough to bleed a large amount of blood to the Japanese army on the Korean Peninsula, as long as the Japanese army shed enough blood on the Korean Peninsula, coupled with a little intentional guidance, it was possible for the Japanese cabinet to completely shift its attention from the edge of the quagmire to the American continent, which could reap a lot of benefits.

On the one hand, there are constantly a large number of casualties and the need to consume a large number of materials in the quagmire of war, and on the other side is the bright road to the revival of Japan, Zhuo Fei believes that as long as the Japanese cabinet members and the emperor are not fools, they will definitely make the right decisions and choices, but the Japanese do not know that the so-called bright road is the biggest bitter fruit in the world, so bitter that all Japanese will regret it for life. Zhuo Fei didn't know whether his plan could be implemented smoothly, but the situation had developed to this point, and it was impossible for Zhuo Fei to retreat at this time.

The umbrella forces on the Korean Peninsula seem to be still calm, and the Japanese army in the northeast has also bypassed Hunchun and moved south into the Korean Peninsula, Konoe Fumima expressed his satisfaction with the Chinese New Army troops who are also standing still, and without the obstruction and containment of the Chinese army, Konoe Fumima believes that it is only a matter of time before the Japanese army recaptures the Korean Peninsula. While the Japanese army in the northeast continued to bypass Hunchun and move south into the Korean Peninsula, the troops of the New Army stationed in the northeast also took back control of the northeast region from the Japanese army one after another, and there are no Japanese troops stationed south of Harbin at present.
