Chapter 211: The Battle of the Heart

Receiving the telegram forwarded by the Eighth Route Army, Hu Biao, who was far away in the southwest, also seemed very happy. The successful recovery of Northeast China and North China was particularly important to the Eighth Route Army and even the entire anti-Japanese battlefield at that time, and the end of the Japanese army invading China was not far away.

In view of the interest of the Japanese troops who had withdrawn from the Yajiang area, Hu Biao immediately sent a report to the Sea Eagle fleet, ordering it to quickly turn back and prepare to attack Shanghai. In addition, Hu Biao also sent a telegram to the Eighth Route Army and asked the New Fourth Army to implement a response in Soviet Province.

Once Shanghai and Suzhou provinces are taken, there are not many options left for the mountain city side. At least one thing Hu Biao knows very well is that some important generals in the national army are in a wait-and-see state at this time, waiting for the situation to change.

In the face of the secret telegram sent by Hu Biao, Mr. Zhu and others, who were receiving the liberated area, said with a little surprise: "It seems that our old friend seems to be more anxious than us!" It's just this move, I'm afraid it will affect the whole body! ”

Only Taizu thought for a while and said: "Fight early and fight late, you have to fight after all!" Since they don't fight, let's fight. Let the Qilu Column support it and strive to clear the remaining Japanese troops in the country as soon as possible, this battle has been fought long enough! ”

Taizu and others, who had already considered moving their offices to Beiping, also knew very well that they would start thinking about the founding of the country in the next step. For the people who have been devastated by the war, they are eager to end the war as soon as possible and enjoy the breath of peace.

Although they knew that the mountain city was also struggling and hesitating, Taizu and the others felt that those people in the occupied area could not afford to wait. In view of the needs of this situation, the New Fourth Army, which had taken over the Wolf Army's anti-Japanese base in Soviet Province, soon received an operational order.

At this time, the Japanese army in the south already knew that the North China Front had been defeated and retreated to the peninsula colonies. But what about them? In the case of not being able to open up land routes, it also lost the power to dominate the sea and the air.

To put it simply, the Japanese troops stationed in the south at this time were similar to the Japanese troops who invaded the Indian colonies before. When the special high school sent information to inform the return of the Sea Hawk fleet of the Southwest Independent Army, the Japanese knew that trouble was coming.

Having previously joined the Axis powers, the Japanese army had taken full control of the concession in Shanghai. Shanghai, which used to be prosperous, has now become much more depressed. When people learned that the anti-Japanese forces were about to regain Shanghai, many people fled Shanghai.

At the same time, the Japanese army, located on the border with the Soviet province in Shanghai, was soon attacked by the main forces of the New Fourth Army. Shortly after the battle began, the Japanese army was building an airfield in Shanghai, and soon there was a piercing air defense siren.

At the headquarters of the Japanese army in Shanghai, the generals said with serious expressions: "Baga! They're coming so fast! ”

Listening to the sound of anti-aircraft artillery fire and bombardment coming from the city, many Japanese generals knew that it was very difficult for them to hold Shanghai in the face of the landing operation of the Southwest Independent Army. But let them surrender, and many generals felt unwilling.

"Let's fight! At the moment, we are already a lone army, and before we receive domestic instructions, we will order all the troops to fight to the death! ”

"Hey!"

Regarding the choice made by the Japanese army, Chen Qiang, the commander of the Eighth Division of the Wolf Army, who was in charge of the landing operation, did not feel any surprises, and summoned all the regiment commanders under his command who participated in the battle, began to deploy the corresponding combat tasks, and carried out the offensive in a steady manner.

When deploying the combat mission, Chen Qiang also said seriously: "When the wolf hair comes, the secret telegram comes, let us take an oppressive attack in the operation to recover Shanghai." In the future, a propaganda team will also be sent to persuade surrender.

In addition, the elite of the special operations brigade has been dispatched and will enter the urban area to carry out sabotage and decapitation operations. After the landing of the various units, they are ready to attack at any time. Once an order is received, the combat mission assigned by the command must be completed to the letter. ”

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief!"

In view of the fact that there was no war in the southwestern colonies, Hu Biao began to shift his energy to the construction of naval and air forces. As for the army, Hu Biao felt that it was enough for the time being, and what he wanted was not quantity but quality. These troops were all sent out to fight in rotation.

Under the cover of heavy artillery fire from the Sea Eagle fleet, the attacking force successfully completed the landing. The Japanese army, which had already decided to fight in the streets, was surprised to see the landing of the Southwest Independent Army, and began to adopt encirclement tactics and did not attack.

Even the Japanese army quickly ascertained that among the combat units that landed, there was also a division that had penetrated behind them, surrounding the Japanese regiments stationed in Shanghai. The siege but not the attack really surprised and puzzled the Japanese army.

Not long after, a large number of loudspeakers suddenly appeared in front of the Japanese defensive position. Listening to the songs on the radio, and the prisoners of war who were responsible for carrying out psychological warfare, they earnestly persuaded the Japanese army to lay down their arms and surrender.

For such psychological warfare, many Japanese generals were also very angry and said: "Baga! How can those damned traitors stoop to their knees? Command all departments to closely observe the movements of the soldiers! ”

"Hey!"

Knowing that the morale of the army was already unstable, now the Southwest Independent Army has carried out this kind of psychological warfare before the battle, which has really caught the Japanese army by surprise. What surprised the Japanese even more was that night, several explosions and gunshots were heard in the city.

Just when the generals wondered if the Southwest Independent Army was attacking at night, the operational staff officer in charge of the inquiry said with a depressed and worried face: "General, all of the warehouses where we have collected materials have been attacked by unknown armed forces!" ”

"Yaga! What do the troops guarding the warehouses eat? What about the losses? ”

"A rescue is currently being organized! However, I am afraid that the number of materials that can be recovered is not much! ”

"Yaga! What evil intentions! ”

If it is said that the destruction of the Japanese army's material warehouses is only the first good play of the oppression war. After the meeting, some Japanese generals went out to inspect the defense units, but without exception, all of them were attacked, and many generals were killed by the bombing.

Upon learning of this situation, the commander of the Japanese army could only order: "Dispatch troops, thoroughly investigate the whole city, and find out the southwest special forces who have infiltrated it." All generals are not allowed to go out, stay at the command post and be responsible for commanding the troops! ”

Such command efficiency can naturally be imagined. Moreover, after finding out where the Japanese headquarters was, a large number of fighters of the Eagle Strike Air Force began to drop bombs on the headquarters in turn the next day, which once again caused panic among the Japanese troops in the city.

At this time, the horn that sounded in the middle of the night last night sounded again, and the anti-war propagandists of the Japanese army on the radio said again: "Compatriots, comrades-in-arms, lay down your arms and accept surrender!" That way, we still have a chance to return home alive.

Think about your family, think about the cherry blossoms that bloom in spring, think about the sweets and sushi that your mother makes, don't you really want to? Did you hear the explosion in the city last night? That's the explosion of a warehouse of supplies!

If you don't lay down your arms, then even the simplest of food will be a problem. Stop working for the emperor and the dictators, we need peace, we need stable jobs and incomes, we don't need to fight.

If you choose to fight, there will be no one to collect your bones, and your souls will not be able to return to their homeland. At that time, how much will your relatives who are far away in China miss you? How sad would it be? ”

Tang monk-style propaganda to persuade surrender, accompanied by homesick songs sung from time to time, many ordinary Japanese soldiers finally began to seem a little passive. When the first defense unit deserted and turned to propaganda, the stalemate collapsed.

Even the officers who supervised the battle at the front warned the soldiers under their command not to be deserters. But as the Japanese army began to supply limited food, even the stupid little devils knew that they could not even maintain the most basic supplies, so how could they persevere?

Moreover, there were more and more deserters who fled to the Southwest Independent Army, and they talked about the treatment after being captured, and many Japanese soldiers who were brainwashed by Tang Seng chanted scriptures finally chose to escape. Because, they really want to go home, they don't want to die in a foreign country!

Seeing that more and more deserters were being received, Chen Qiang also smiled and said, "How is it?" That's a good move, right? The battle of attacking the heart is infinitely powerful! The fire is almost the same, and an ultimatum was issued to the Japanese army, and if you don't surrender, you will be killed! ”

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief!"

The Japanese generals, who had been exhausted by propaganda and raids, had no idea in the face of the Japanese anti-war propagandists earlier. But in the past two days, it turned out to be their generals in India who made the anti-war declaration.

Even the generals began to make anti-war propaganda for the independence army, which was a predictable blow to the morale of the Japanese army. The telegram sent to the cabinet never gave an accurate reply, and the daily bombing of the country also realized that it was not far from the landing of Menia.

Under such circumstances, the ministers of the Japanese Cabinet still chose to resolutely resist. The Japanese army, who had already understood that the defeat was decided, finally accepted the surrender. Hearing the news, Chen Qiang also breathed a sigh of relief.

When the Independent Army began to accept the Japanese troops who surrendered, Chen Qiang also immediately said: "Send this news to the wolf head immediately!" ”

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief!"

Hu Biao, who received Jiedian, was also full of joy and said: "Okay! Although it took a bit of time, it finally saved Shanghai. Forward this telegram to the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, I believe that the Japanese army will also be disheartened when they receive this telegram! ”

Sure enough, when the Japanese army, which had been resolutely arriving at the New Fourth Army's counteroffensive, was stunned when faced with a clear telegram issued by the Eighth Route Army, informing them that Shanghai had been liberated and that all the Japanese troops stationed in Shanghai had disarmed and surrendered.

"Yaga! Even the commander has surrendered, is there still a need to fight this battle? ”

To the surprise of many people, the national army, which had been standing still before, finally launched a counterattack on all fronts at this moment. Looking at this frame, it seems that they also realize that if they don't seize the opportunity to do it, they may not even be able to drink the soup!

Hearing the news, Hu Biao shook his head and said: "It's really too late to do it at this time!" ”

The situation in the north has been decided, and the southwest is under Hu Biao's control, and Shanghai and the Soviet provinces will also be liberated by the New Fourth Army. How much area is left for the national army to recover? Fortunately, it's better to shoot now than to sit and watch the show!

The anti-Japanese forces launched an all-out attack, and the pressure on the Japanese army can be imagined. At this time, Hu Biao looked at the telegram sent by Tian Tiezhu from Menia, and said with a solemn expression: "This day is finally coming!" ”

In this telegram, Tian Tiezhu informed that Menia had just completed a secret explosion experiment. Although the specific result of the explosion is unknown, according to what Tian Tiezhu knows, the explosion was very powerful.

This also means, albeit a delay of a few months. But the atomic bomb was finally successfully developed by Menia!
