Chapter 651 No matter whether there is a minefield or an abyss ahead, I will move forward without looking back

Without the threat of the powerful U.S. Pacific Fleet, Japan could completely ignore the power of other powers in Southeast Asia, and thereafter it occupied all of Southeast Asia, the southwestern Pacific Ocean, and expanded its power all the way to the Indian Ocean.

But in the long run, Pearl Harbor was a complete disaster for Japan.

Four U.S. Navy capital ships were sunk and three were wounded.

One of Japan's main targets was three American aircraft carriers, but none of them were in port at the time: the Enterprise was on its way back to Pearl Harbor, the Lexington had just sailed a few days earlier, and the Saratoga was being repaired in San Diego.

Without these battleships, the U.S. Navy had to rely on its aircraft carriers and submarines, which were in fact the only ships left in the U.S. Navy at the time, and these ships were the main force for resisting and later counterattacking Japan. Later it turned out that the destruction of the battleship had a much smaller effect than expected.

After smoking a cigarette, Wang Liang shook his head and stopped his infinite reverie.

It doesn't matter what the reason is, it is already an established fact that the United States will inevitably be involved in this war, and perhaps the Japanese will be rampant for a while in the next six months, but when the US Navy eases up, it will definitely be enough for the Japanese to drink a pot.

Subsequently, the newspaper broadcast spread that the United States had declared war on Japan, and more than 20 other countries had declared war on Japan at the same time, and World War II had broken out.

However, this does not seem to have had any effect on Japan, which is as rampant as ever, and after occupying the central and eastern parts of China, they have turned their attention to Southeast Asian countries.

Seeing that the US naval fleet in the Pacific Ocean had been decapitated and that its strategic objective had been achieved, they immediately took the next military measure.

This was planned a year ago, and it can be said that the Japanese have been planning for a long time.

Japan is a small island country, both in terms of resources and land resources, which are very limited, and cannot meet their own needs, so they must continue to expand to meet their development ambitions.

Perhaps further expanding its ambitions after the occupation of China, a small island nation set itself the goal of dominating Southeast Asia.

It may have seemed like a funny joke at the time, but the Japanese did it.

December 8 - Battle of Malaya: Japanese troops land on the Kra Isthmus in Thailand and begin their attack on the Malay Peninsula from Thailand.

Battle of Hong Kong: The Japanese army begins to attack Hong Kong from Shenzhen.

December 16 - Japanese attack on British North Borneo (present-day northern Kalimantan, Malaysia and Brunei).

December 25 - Battle of Hong Kong: The Japanese army occupies Hong Kong, Hong Kong falls, and the "three years and eight months" period of Japanese occupation in Hong Kong begins.

On December 28, 1941, Wang Liang received a telegram from Yan'an and was summoned to Yan'an.

Wang Liang knew very well in his heart that Yan'an was still calling himself past at this New Year's mark, and there must be some important task, and I am afraid that it is inseparable from the fall of Hong Kong on the 25th.

After receiving the telegram, Wang Liang explained the relevant matters to several cadres, and then rushed to Yan'an non-stop.

On December 30, he successfully arrived in Yan'an.

Not long after arriving in Yan'an, Wang Liang met the chairman again.

After more than a year of absence, the chairman's figure seems to be a little thin, and his gray hair has increased a lot.

Wang Liang knew that there were too many things that this great man needed to worry about, and what about the rest time? Less pitiful.

No matter how powerful it is, the body can't bear it.

Suddenly a wave of admiration and admiration rose.

"I'm here with my sword, General Wang, come in and sit in the house." The chairman, who was reading the documents in the courtyard, was overjoyed when he saw Wang Liang and warmly greeted Wang Liang into the house.

The chairman didn't seem to be afraid of the cold at all, and he was still reading documents in the courtyard in the cold winter, which he said would refresh him.

"Hello Chairman." Wang Liang hurriedly stood up and saluted.

Receiving such courtesy from the chairman, Wang Liang was naturally excited in his heart.

"Chief, the chairman has been talking to you every day, and you are finally here." The guard couldn't help but interject.

This is the case in Yan'an, there is no distinction between high and low, everyone is the same, whether it is a cadre or a guard, they have the right to speak.

Wang Liang didn't know how to respond, but he kept smiling, and his heart was full of emotion.

"I have learned from other comrades about your several battles in Jinchaji, and the battles were fought very well. With a very small loss in exchange for a brilliant victory, I have to admit it, you are a military commander. Creating outstanding results in such complex and harsh conditions is a reflection of your personal ability. The chairman sat down and began the conversation.

"Chairman, I also learned from you, and the classic examples you created during the Red Army's Long March are all worthy of our study and study." Hearing the chairman's non-stop praise, Wang Liang hurriedly praised back.

Hearing Wang Liang say this, the chairman smiled and waved his hand, "Don't compliment me, you little ghost, don't say flattering words." I'm not just talking about this to praise you, I'm going to give you a more important task, but I don't know if you can withstand this burden and complete it well? I have faith in you, and the other leaders have faith in you, but what about you? Do you have confidence in yourself? ”

Wang Liangluo stood up suddenly and promised: "No matter whether there is a minefield or an abyss in front of me, I will move forward, without hesitation, do my best, and die." ”

Wang Liang's sentence is a quote from a speech by Premier Zhu of the former Republic, which Wang Liang likes very much and has always practiced it.

This sentence is not only applicable to Communist Party members, but also to the entire people.

When your country is facing a crisis, and your people are facing a life of enslavement and humiliation, so compatriots must move forward, do their best, and die. It doesn't matter if there is a minefield or an abyss ahead.

Translated into Wang Liang's words: "Do it alive, count it dead." For the country, for the nation, for the people. ”

Wang Liang's words were impassioned, and the chairman was moved when he heard it.

Yes, how many young people have been inspired by such a passionate sentence is enough to become a classic.

"Good! You can say that again. I think you should be able to think of the quest, check this out. The chairman gave Wang Liang a round of applause, and then handed him a stack of papers.
