Chapter 289: Prelude to the Battle of Changchun Offensive and Defensive War (1)

"The fertile soil of Changchun has been multiplied by human beings as far back as 40,000 years ago. It is the political, military, economic, and cultural center of the Japanese imperialist rule in Tohoku. With an area of 80 square kilometers and a population of 1.217 million, the total population of Changchun has exceeded 3 million, surpassing the population of Tokyo (metropolitan area) and is known as the largest metropolis in Asia. It is the only multi-ethnic settlement city in the north, more than half of the urban population is ethnic minorities, the Manchu, Han, Mongolian, Hui and Korean ethnic groups in the city live in different urban areas of Changchun, the north of the city is mainly the Korean nationality settlement area, the south of the city is mainly the Manchu settlement area, the southwest area is mainly the Mongolian nationality settlement area, the northwest is mainly the Hui nationality settlement area, the Han nationality is scattered in the whole city and mainly lives in the east of the city. Due to Changchun's unique multi-ethnic settlement, it is known as 'Little Switzerland of the East'. ”

Lin Junxiong, accompanied by Wu Dafang, walked on Chengbei Street in Changchun City, and Wu Dafang introduced the situation in Changchun City to Lin Junxiong as he walked.

"Uncle Dafang, I really didn't expect Changchun to be so large and have such a large population, and now that I think about it, I am quite lucky to be able to successfully win Changchun this time." After learning that Changchun was Japan's most important base in the Kanto region, Lin Junxiong was somewhat glad that he was able to occupy Changchun smoothly.

Wu Dafang said with a smile: "To be honest, I am indeed a little lucky, the new First Army annihilated five Japanese divisions that originally belonged to Changchun in the First Battle of Pseudo-Tonghua, and the Kwantung Army dropped the remaining two divisions out for the sake of your old nest Lotus Mountain." In addition, Japan and the Soviet Union have been secretly negotiating on the northern border to withdraw a large number of elite Kwantung Army elites, but they have not been able to reach an agreement for a long time, which has also bought time for the new First Army to occupy Changchun. ”

Lin Junxiong stopped, looked at the majestic buildings around him, and sighed in his heart that he didn't know how many buildings in Changchun would be intact after the next war, "It's easy to take Changchun, but it's still very difficult to defend." Uncle Dafang, try to evacuate the people as much as possible. ”

"Junxiong, those who want to run have run away, and the rest of the people have sent representatives to express the determination of the people to live and die with Changchun, more than ten years of waiting, and finally hope for hope, I can't persuade it."

"Yes, it's been more than ten years, the new first army will desperately hold on to Changchun, since the people don't want to evacuate, let's gather them in the inner city, but we must conduct a strict inventory of their identities."

"Don't worry, it's all arranged." Wu Dafang said and followed Lin Junxiong forward, constantly introducing the history and humanity of Changchun to Lin Junxiong along the way.

Lin Junxiong returned to the headquarters of the newly established New First Army Headquarters, and Wang Biao and Zhao Xing were already waiting.

"Wang Biao, Zhao Xing, how did you do the arrangement?"

Wang Biao took a step forward and said: "Commander, we have already checked the people in Huawei's troops, and more than a dozen people with problems have been brought under control, and those who have no problems have been arranged to go to Lianhua Mountain to receive ideological and political education." ”

"Commander, my side has conducted reconnaissance on the periphery of Changchun, and there are no large numbers of suspicious troops within a radius of twenty kilometers outside Changchun City." Zhao Xing then reported.

"Well, Wang Biao, you take ten commandos all the way to send Hua Wei's troops to Lotus Mountain, and by the way, tell the political commissar that the troops of Kasawara Yukio and Tojo Iwa will be contained but not eliminated, and when the devil's large army arrives in Changchun, then launch an encirclement and annihilation, and make corresponding preparations in advance, and at the same time, let the political commissar and the chief of staff inspect the eighteen fortresses of Lotus Mountain, which will come in handy after the start of the Changchun defensive battle."

After Lin Junxiong finished explaining to Wang Biao, he turned sideways and said to Zhao Xing: "Zhao Xing, you take the rest of the commandos to set up ten secret posts around the inner city, I am worried that Uncle Dafang will not investigate thoroughly, there are Japanese spies mixed in the people, the first batch of mortars for arranging defense will arrive tonight, I don't want our defense arrangement to be known by the devils, find suspicious people, shoot immediately!" ”

The two responded, Lin Junxiong saw that Wang Biao had a look of embarrassment on his face, and asked, "Wang Biao, is there something wrong?" ”

"Commander, why didn't Wang Bangzi leave with the troops, he said that he wanted to stay in Changchun, but he couldn't persuade him, he said that he would come to see you later."

Lin Junxiong couldn't help but want to laugh after hearing this, "This Wang stick wants to stay and establish merits, or not, although his three hundred people have a short training, their basic quality is okay, and their marksmanship is okay, you go and tell him, I approve him to stay, and let him go to Lao Feng in a while to see how Lao Feng arranges." ”

Zhao Xing and the others had just left, and Wu Dafang walked in, "Commander, there is a person who said that Commander Xie Qin recommended you to see you, and his name is Cui Yongjian." ”

Lin Junxiong thought about it carefully, and remembered that Xie Qin once told him that this Cui Yongjian was the deputy commander of the Second Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance, and he was also the second person in North Korea later, "Please come in!" ”

As soon as Cui Yongjian walked in, he arched his hand and said, "Commander Lin, I have admired my name for a long time!" ”

"Commander Cui is polite, please take a seat!"

The two sat down to greet each other for a while, and Lin Junxiong learned that Cui Yongjian had come to Changchun secretly this time to persuade two literati who had important influence in the hearts of the Korean people to go back with him.

"Commander Cui, the next Changchun will become the main battlefield, if the matter is dealt with, please leave early."

Cui Yongjian heard that Lin Junxiong's words meant to send off guests, and immediately stood up and said, "Commander Lin, in fact, I came this time, first, to visit you, and second, I may ask you to help you more in the future." ”

Lin Junxiong naturally knew what Cui Yongjian wanted to help him with, so he pretended to be puzzled and said: "Commander Cui is polite, Lin doesn't seem to be able to help much, right?" ”

"Commander Lin, the Korean people have been enslaved by Japanese imperialism for decades and are about to embark on the road of independence and freedom, and the New First Army, as a brave army in the three northeastern provinces, will inevitably help the Korean War of Independence at that time."

"I heard that your hopes are more on the side of the Soviet Union, and second, the new First Army is our party's troops, and we obey the arrangements of the party Central Committee in everything."

Cui Yongjian lowered his head and sighed, "In order for the Korean people to get out of the sea of suffering, we naturally do not give up all foreign aid, we are both Comintern, after all, the Soviet Union has a great influence in the world, and we have no choice." We know that Commander Lin thinks that the Soviet Union is hoarding heavy troops on the northern border, but he is reluctant to attack, and he has some resentment in his heart, but please believe in our sincerity, Commander Jin is discussing with Vice Chairman Zhou of your party, and I just hope that Commander Lin can fully support us when we need it. ”

Lin Junxiong did have some resentment in his heart about the Soviet Union's troops in the north, but he did not attack, in historical records, the Soviet Union attacked the Kwantung Army, but many people ignored what the Soviet Union used in exchange, it was obtained by sacrificing China's interests and letting **** in exchange, but Mongolia later stood on the side of the United States, which is indeed a bit ironic. Lin Junxiong retracted his thoughts, stepped forward to hold Cui Yongjian's hand and said: "Commander Choi rest assured, the Korean people have always been friends of the Chinese people, as long as the instructions of the Party Central Committee arrive, when the Korean people need it, the New First Army will definitely go all out to help the Korean people." ”

Cui Yongjian excitedly clasped Lin Junxiong's hand, his eyes were full of tears, Lin Junxiong led the New First Army to break the dominance of the Kwantung Army in the Northeast, and the wonderful battles of the Pseudo-Tonghua Battle had already spread, he believed that the final victory in the Northeast must belong to the New First Army of the Chinese Communist Party, as for whether the Soviet Union could take the opportunity to attack the Northeast and seize interests, he did not know, but he believed that the New First Army would not easily let the Soviet Union run rampant on China's territory. On the Soviet side, if nothing else, it will help North Korea for independence, with a little brother, but North Korea and China are close to each other, and from the bottom of their hearts they prefer to be close to China, the big brother.

Lin Junxiong is still calm about the DPRK in his heart, and he also understands the DPRK's move to get close to the Soviet Union, and the weak country has no diplomacy, and the weak country has no strong words, and this truth has been repeatedly confirmed in history. When I think of the Ryukyus, how similar the experience is to Korea, in real history, in the Cairo Declaration, Korea gained independence with the help of the Soviet Union. Now with his arrival, the independence of Korea in the Cairo Declaration should not change, but let Shang Tianen plan in advance, what will be the fate of the Ryukyus?

Lin Junxiong did not blame Shang Tianen for not telling him the latest situation, he knew that Shang Tianen did not want to involve himself in an unfavorable whirlpool because of the Ryukyu incident, after all, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party are still cooperating to resist Japan, and the anti-Japanese situation is becoming more and more favorable.

After Lin Junxiong sent Cui Yongjian away, he sat quietly for a long time, the arrangement of Changchun's defense must be completed as soon as possible, the intelligence shows that the Kwantung Army in the north has accelerated the speed of the march, and there are still twelve or three days left for his own arrangement, and the artillery fire of the second column can only be delivered tomorrow, and the artillery fire of the fourth column can only arrive the day after tomorrow.

The persistence of grandfather Lin Shigong, the perseverance of the 36 surnames of the Fujian people for many years, and the desire for freedom of the Ryukyu people, all made Lin Junxiong unable to give up his attention to Ryukyu in his heart, and the army he worked hard to build up, and he worked hard to make the Ryukyu people from despair to hope for several years, but in the end, the fate of Ryukyu still could not escape the influence of the great powers, what will be the final fate of Ryukyu?

At the Cairo Conference, as one of the great powers, the supreme commander of the Asian Anti-Fascist Alliance, Lao Jiang had to show enough humility in front of the British and American powers, after all, the CCP was a deep thorn in his heart, and the result of the War of Resistance against Japan did not need to be thought about, he began to be afraid of the development of the CCP army, the development and growth of the Eighth Route Army had already frightened him, and now a new army of Lin Junxiong appeared in the northeast, which made him panic.

As for the Ryukyus, Lao Chiang did not think about it at all, and he only hoped that the territories that Japan had stolen from China, such as Manchuria, Taiwan, the Penghu Islands, and the Nanhai Zhudao, would be returned to China, and he would be satisfied. It wasn't until two urgent telegrams were sent to him that he gasped that his two sons were kidnapped by Ryukyu patriots at the same time, and the other party demanded that he fight for Ryukyu independence with all his might, and promised not to harm his son.

Ryukyu? Once a vassal of China, occupied by Japan for a long time, Lao Chiang recalled the memory of Ryukyu in his heart, his two sons were controlled by the other party, and he could only try his best.
