Chapter 600: Zhou Lin's identity announced

Time did not stop in 1944, and history came to 1945.

In the last months of '44, the Japanese army frantically attacked the areas controlled by the Chongqing government.

On September 2, the Japanese army Okamura Ninji commanded 10 divisions and 3 brigades with about 150,000 troops to attack Guangxi.

This was the third step of the Japanese army's "Operation No. 1" in order to open up the mainland communication line, rescue the lone army trapped in the South Seas, and complete its "Operation No. 1".

The first two steps were the "Henan Campaign" and the "Changheng Campaign", in which the Japanese army achieved its objectives and captured more than 100 cities in three provinces, and the Chinese army had lost nearly one million soldiers.

This time, Zhang Fakui, commander of the Fourth Theater of the Chinese defenders, commanded about 120,000 people in the command post department, plus 850,000 reinforcements from other departments, to organize resistance.

From September 1, the Japanese army began to attack in two ways, occupying Wuzhou on the 23rd and Danzhu Air Base on the 28th, thus forming a flanking attack on Guilin and Liuzhou.

On October 4, the Japanese army occupied Fuzhou for the second time.

On September 27, more than 2,000 people of the 62nd Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army, under the command of Changling Xiyi, landed at Xiaowo, Daowo, Pukou, Dongdai and other places at the mouth of the Minjiang River.

On the 28th, it occupied Lianjiangguantou. On October 1, the Japanese army attacked Fuzhou from Lianjiang in two ways: one from Pandu and Tangling to attack Dabeiling; Capture Min'an Town and Mawei all the way.

On October 4, the Japanese army attacked and occupied Fuzhou from the Dabeiling and Mawei routes, and at the same time occupied Changle. The Fuzhou region fell for the second time.

In October 1944, after the establishment of the Sixth Front Army of the Japanese Army, it stepped up its attack on Guangxi.

On October 11, the Japanese Eleventh Army captured the northeastern part of Guangxi.

In the second half of the year, a large-scale offensive began, with six divisions advancing south along the Xianggui line and two divisions attacking in the direction of Liuzhou.

In order to resist the Japanese attack, the Kuomintang authorities concentrated more than 20 divisions in the Fourth Theater to organize defense with Liuzhou as the center.

On the 28th, the Japanese army surrounded Guilin and bypassed Guilin with 2 divisions and went straight to Liuzhou.

From November 1, the Japanese army began to attack the outskirts of Guilin, and the Chinese army and civilians relied on the Shishan Cave to resist stubbornly.

The Japanese army used poison gas on the Chinese defenders of Qixingyan, and more than 3,000 defenders died tragically in the large and small caves. The fortifications on the outskirts of Guilin were almost completely destroyed by Japanese artillery fire, and the remnants of the outlying troops retreated into the city.

On the 6th, the Japanese troops stationed in Matsui Town, Yanshan Town, a southern suburb of Guilin, Guangxi, went to Wutang Village to search and kill, but there was no one in the village, and found that there was cooking smoke rising from Jishan, so they rushed to Soshan and found the entrance to the cave. They piled up the cages, clothes, tobacco leaves, and other combustible materials that the peasants had stored at the entrance of the cave, poured kerosene, and set fire to the people in the cave. Except for a few dozen who survived the poisoning, the rest have all been poisoned and died. A total of 208 people died in the cave.

On the 8th, the Japanese army concentrated 100 artillery pieces and 30 tanks to support the infantry to force the crossing of the Li River and break into the city of Guilin.

The Chinese army suffered heavy casualties due to the Japanese attacks with tanks, armoured vehicles, and flamethrowers.

On the morning of the 9th, the city defense headquarters was razed to the ground under the bombing of Japanese planes, and the command system was completely out of order.

On the 10th, the Japanese occupied all of Guilin City, and the last small group of Chinese air forces broke out of the encirclement. The Japanese captured Liuzhou on the same day, and then attacked along the Guizhou-Guizhou Highway and sent rapid troops to pursue and annihilate the Chinese route.

In December, after the Japanese occupied Nanning without resistance, they pursued the Chinese army along the Hunan-Guizhou Highway with fast troops.

On December 2, the Japanese army captured Dushan in Guizhou, threatening Guiyang and Chongqing was shocked.

On December 10, the Japanese troops from Nanning and the Japanese troops advancing north from Vietnam joined forces at Suiyu and opened up the mainland communication line. This was the end of the Battle of Yuxianggui launched by the Japanese army.

During this time, there was one thing that made Zhou Lin happy, that is, his rival died.

On November 10, 1944, Wang Jingwei died of illness at the Imperial University Hospital in Nagoya, Japan.

After hearing the news, Zhou Lin was seven points drunk, and Chang Liang was also eight points drunk.

Zhou Lin used his drunken hand to send a clear telegram.

"Traitor, Wang Jingwei, why did you die? The person I arranged to kill you has just left Zhoujiadao for a day, if you hold on for a few more days, how good it would be to die at the hands of my people! ”

Zhou Lin's telegram made everyone who received it laugh, this Zhou Lin, people still hold grudges when they die.

However, there was also something that made Zhou Lin unhappy.

On April 12, 1945, U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt died.

The 31st president of the United States died suddenly in his exquisite little cottage in Worm Springs, Georgia.

This news shocked the whole country and the world.

A doctor in his entourage said the 63-year-old president died of a cerebral hemorrhage.

Since March 29, the president has been living in Wormsprings to relieve the fatigue of the hustle and bustle of ending the war.

He died at the time of the triumphant victory of the United States.

His army and warships had reached the gates of Berlin and the coast of Japan.

A conference to draw up a United Nations charter to ensure world peace is scheduled to take place in San Francisco later this month.

Ruya Mercer, a lifelong friend of President Roosevelt, commissioned Elizabeth Sumatov to paint his portrait. For a few hours before his death, he had been in a seated pose for the painter. In the early afternoon, the president muttered, "My head hurts." ”

After a while, he died. The obituary was delivered at 5:48 p.m. Less than 2 hours later, Vice President Harry Truman was sworn in as president.

President Roosevelt was regarded as the most prominent leader of the White House.

Born in New York, he came from a prominent family and was educated at Groton, Harvard, and Columbia University.

After his election to the presidency in 1932, he actively advocated for the New Deal to extricate the United States from a deep economic crisis.

In 1936, he was re-elected by a landslide.

He then broke with convention and was elected president of the United States twice in 1940 and 1944. He was re-elected president for 4 consecutive terms, which is unprecedented in the history of the United States.

On April 13, 1945, in the list of people who attended the president's funeral released by the U.S. government, people saw an unfamiliar name: Zhou Lin.

Subsequently, in the resume of Zhou Lin released by the US government, it was written: Zhou Lin, now thirty-one years old, Chinese New Year's Eve, US citizen, current US Navy rear admiral, senior staff of the CIA.

The whole world was shocked all at once.

The most shocked are the Japanese and the people of Chongqing, they are stupid.

This world is so unpredictable that under my nose, there is such a person hidden.

The Japanese Prince's Mansion immediately jumped out, saying that they had long suspected that Zhou Lin was an American spy, and they had attacked several times, but they did not succeed, not because they didn't do their best, but because there were too many people who protected Zhou Lin, so that Zhou Lin escaped the attack several times.

At the Chongqing official residence, the old man called Dai Li.

"You're a rice bucket, huh? Such a big crocodile, you can't even see that he is a crocodile? I was deceived by him. The old man scolded for a few minutes.
