Chapter 642: Great Change

When the news of Guiliu's fiasco came, the whole country was in an uproar, and Han Yunhua also felt depressed for a while, secretly lamenting that no matter how great his personal ability is, he is only a drop in the ocean in the face of the tide of history, and the role he can play is also minimal. The result of the Battle of Guiliu has long been doomed, but Han Yunhua still hopes for a miracle, but now it seems that there is no miracle, and the Battle of Guiliu still ended in a fiasco.

There are indeed objective reasons for the defeat of the Battle of Guiliu, but there are also many subjective reasons, such as the preservation strength of the local factions and the lack of reinforcements for each other, etc., in a word, the Battle of Guiliu, the Kuomintang army is still more than successful. No matter how you fight, you will definitely lose, but I just hope that the squadron can fight better, eliminate more Japanese, and let the people lose less. However, the leaders of the various factions in the Battle of Guiliu behaved extremely badly, which was despicable, especially the leaders of the Gui faction.

At that time, the Guangxi army of nearly 50,000 in the 120,000 ** in the Battle of Guiliu, the Guangxi Gui Army in Guilin almost all of the 20,000 people fought with the Japanese army, at that time the miscellaneous army guarded the big city and behaved like this, this is not a thing that any other local army has, the defenders of Guilin behaved very heroically, they were isolated and helpless, lost the unified command, and nearly 100,000 well-equipped Japanese troops fought for 13 days until the fall of Guilin, which is also the only place worth mentioning in the Battle of Guilin. But on the other hand, judging from the performance of the defense of Guilin, the Gui army still has combat effectiveness, just because their troops have combat effectiveness, so the behavior of the head of the Gui family in his own territory to save troops regardless of his hometown and elders is even more contemptible.

After the end of the Battle of Guiliu, the Japanese army launched the battle of the continental line of communication is also coming to an end, in this battle, the Japanese army in the early stage of the tactical set the correct tactics, so the overall operation almost achieved success, in terms of the results also reached the beginning of the predetermined combat objectives, but the Japanese army from the beginning of the war appeared in the problem of insufficient troops in this all-out battle again exposed, although the effective blow to the National Revolutionary Army, but can not effectively occupy the territory under the final withdrawal of part of the area, There were also many unsatisfactory aspects of the operation in the Guiliu area, especially the Japanese army besieging the Guiliu area but not annihilating the troops of Zhang Fakui's Fourth Theater, so it left many hidden dangers. At the same time as the Japanese launched Operation No. 1, the U.S. forces conquered Saipan, and all Chinese B-29 bombers moved to Saipan, so the Japanese failed to stop the U.S. planes from attacking the Japanese mainland.

In this battle, the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government made a mistake in strategic guidance, as mentioned above, and although the direction of the main attack of the Japanese army was roughly known, in the end, due to the support for the Yunnan-Burma operation, the main force and reserves were not properly allocated. Seriously misestimating the Japanese side's determination and preparations to attack and occupy it forever with all its might, as a result, large areas of land in Henan, Hunan, and Guizhou were occupied, and air bases and depots were destroyed.

While the Chinese battlefield was ravaged by the Japanese army, the European side was full of good news, and in early April, the Allies successfully landed in Normandy, successfully opening up the second European theater of war. At this time, Germany was already at the end of its power, although Mussolini regained power because Hitler used his elite special forces to rescue Mussolini and also helped. But at this time, Italy could no longer be called Italy, because Mussolini only controlled a small piece of Italy, and his help to Germany could not be smaller.

The German army on the Eastern Front was also in a depression, and the continuous attack tactics of the Soviet Red Army made the German army, which was already short of troops, anxious, and by the beginning of June, the German army had been driven out of the Soviet Union. In particular, the 51 key offensive campaigns formulated by Han Yunhua all achieved decisive victories, annihilating a total of 136 German divisions, liberating all the territory occupied by the Soviet Union, advancing the front 1,100 kilometers to the west, the German army had retreated to the mainland on the eastern front, the Soviet army had approached the German border in most areas, and part of the army had entered Germany. Due to the powerful blow of the Soviet army, Germany's fascist international alliance completely collapsed, and its allies Romania, Bulgaria, Finland, and Hungary withdrew from the war one after another, established democratic governments, and declared war on Germany. …,

The situation of the world anti-fascist war was very good, and the German, Italian, and Japanese Triple Alliance was no longer invincible under the blows of the Allies, so Germany, Italy and Japan were trying to reverse the decline.

Nanjing, the Chinese dispatch army test ground admiral star-studded, although not a sea of people, but each of them is an important figure in the Japanese army and navy, the first is one of the supreme commanders of the Japanese army in China, Yan Shunroku, followed by Nishio Shouzo, Yokoyama Isamu and others.

"Your Excellency, is it possible to start the experiment?" A young man ran over and asked.

"Yo Xi, let's get started!" Yan Junliu said decisively.

"Hay!"

I saw this young man pick up the red flag in his hand and wave it lightly into the distance, and a white fighter plane not far away from the opposite side slowly rose into the air, and came towards the testing ground, and then a sharp sound sounded above the heads of all the senior Japanese officers, and then a heavy bomb was thrown down, and a seemingly solid fortification in the middle of the trial ground was hit head-on, and soon the entire fortification fell into flames.

Soon, a captain ran over and said: "Report to Your Excellency General, the experimental data has been withdrawn, the combustion temperature of this new type of bomb can reach 3200 degrees, after special treatment, this kind of bomb not only has amazing explosion power, but can also burn in an oxygen-free environment, the permanent fortification we built has now been completely destroyed, and the 12 prisoners of war in it have died, and no one has survived." ”

"Yo Xi ......"

After reading the results of the experiment, Nishio Toshizo and Yan Shunroku and others returned to the headquarters of the Chinese Dispatch Army, where they would meet with an important person.

This was the last moment of Nishio Shouzo's trip to China, and the Japanese base camp had already issued an order to transfer him back to China to report on his work, and Yan Junliu would take over his post as commander-in-chief of the Chinese Dispatch Army. Still, Nishio was willing to stay in China for a while, and he wanted to watch this great plan come to fruition.

The Chinese Dispatch Army Headquarters, Yan Shunroku and Nishio Shouzo came to the office and waited for the arrival of a mysterious figure.

"Report to Your Excellency Commander, Yamada Shaoza has arrived!" The guards came in and reported.

"Let him in!"

"Hay!"

Soon, an ordinary person with a young appearance and a thin body walked in and said in fluent Chinese: "Report to Your Excellency Commander, Tadaichi Yamada, the head of the Chinese intelligence agency of the Great Japanese Army, salutes you!" ”

"You may be seated!"

"Commander Xie!"

"Yamada, I'm sorry to transfer you from China, because this time we have to carry out a big plan, and we must need the help of you, a Chinese intelligence expert." The sixth general Yan Jun said in a friendly tone.

"As a Japanese soldier, you should be loyal to the Japanese Empire, Your Excellency the Commander is polite, as long as you can help, you will definitely go all out." Tadashi Yamada.

"Yamada, what we are going to do this time is a major event related to the national fortunes of the Great Japanese Empire, now the resistance on the battlefield of China is getting bigger and bigger, the Great Japanese Empire is no longer tenable in the entire northern part of China, and it is difficult to achieve our tactical goals in regular operations, so the Chinese Dispatch Army Command has decided to implement a key elimination plan for the Chinese people, hoping that through the assassination of Chiang Kai-shek, ** and others in China, then China will fall into new chaos...... "Yanjun Liudao.

"Commander, is it understandable that the Empire is preparing to create chaos through assassination, and it is better to let the people of China go back to the time when warlords fought like they did decades ago." Yamada Tadaichi's comprehension ability is still very strong, and Yan Junliu just said it in general, and he already has a general understanding.

"Good, that's it." Yan Jun Liudao.

"Your Excellency Commander, the lowly position is from an intelligence officer, I don't know what Your Excellency's lowly position will help you do?" Tadashi Yamada. …,

"I need you, a China expert, and your team to infiltrate Chongqing, the capital of China, and Guisui, where the leaders of the ** are located, to steal information for the Japanese Empire, and to determine the location of the official residence of the leaders of the rebels in China and the laws of their activities."

"Hay!"

………………

Neither Han Yunhua nor Dai Li, the first intelligence director of the Nationalist Government, realized that a huge net had been cast against the leaders of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.

Although the war has ended, the confrontation between the Japanese army and the Chinese air force has just begun, and after each US air force withdraws from China, the joint air force command has become the defender of China's territorial airspace, and as for the air force of the Nationalist Government, there are now less than 300 warplanes left, and in the previous battle, the air force of the Chinese Nationalist Government not only lost dozens of airfields, but also a large number of fighters were shot down or blown up, and its combat strength was less than one-half of the pre-war level.

Several large cities have to engage in air battles every day, with dozens or hundreds of fighters facing each other at most times, and several fighters exchanging fire at few times. Such frequent air battles lasted for nearly a month, and even Han Yunhua himself felt annoyed, and in addition, the United Air Force cooperated with the US Air Force to bomb the Japanese mainland and also entered the first stage, and hundreds of bomber groups loaded with aerial bombs rushed to Japan every day.

At the same time, Han Yunhua has also made preparations in the army, and the army has been on the border of Shandong and the Taihang Mountains for more than a month, but the central government still does not approve Han Yunhua's southward movement, forcing Han Yunhua to order the troops to be divided into pieces and infiltrate the hinterland of Shandong in batches.

Unlike the invasion and occupation, the troops of the Inner Mongolia Military Region infiltrated Shandong only a very small part, and compared with the 1.5 million army, a few thousand people are really pitiful. But Han Yunhua knew that the peak showdown between the Inner Mongolia Military Region and the North China Front Army was imminent, and both the Japanese army base camp and Okamura Ningji himself already hated Han Yunhua, a fierce general with a huge threat.

In addition, now that China's anti-Japanese tide is rising wave after wave, the living space of the traitor group is getting smaller and smaller, there are many original hardcore traitors who have begun to waver, and even many puppet troops have fled, making the rule of the Japanese army shaky, so if the Japanese army wants to maintain this transcendent position, it must fight a beautiful battle and completely destroy the spiritual support in the hearts of the Chinese people. With Han Yunhua's current prestige in China, if the Japanese army wants to find a chicken that sets an example for monkeys, it must be Han Yunhua.

However, just when Han Yunhua was actively preparing for the war, Yamada Tadaichi and others had also parachuted into Chongqing, and soon gained a firm foothold in Chongqing with the help of spies in the city. Immediately after that, the Japanese army, with the cooperation of Tadaichi Yamada, carried out a deceptive bombing of Chongqing, and this deceptive bombing was carried out very successfully, and every day the Japanese air force flew planes to the skies over Chongqing to carry out multiple rounds of bombing, sometimes a few planes, sometimes dozens of planes, anyway, planes came every day.

Despite this, for some unknown reason, the damage caused by the Japanese planes was minimal, and as soon as the air raid sirens sounded, the residents of the city quickly rushed to the nearby bomb shelters. But after such a long period of testing, people are not as worried as before, and after the air raid sirens sounded, not many people rushed to the bomb shelters. Moreover, as time went by, there were fewer and fewer daily planes sent to Chongqing every day.

Despite this, Dai Li himself did not dare to slack off at all, and the capital Chongqing was bombed one after another, but the Kuomintang intelligence department was completely unaware of these bombings in advance, which made Dai Li, as the director of the Military Command Bureau, restless. He knew very well that if he didn't figure out all this, it would mean to Chongqing, a wartime companion.

But Dai Li's action was too late, and at a quarter past nine in the morning of August 12, 1943, three Japanese bombers flew to Chongqing to bomb under the protection of three of the latest Zero fighters. The Air Force Command of the Nationalist Government ordered the Fourth Group of Destroyers at Chengdu Airport to immediately conduct an air interception. …,

After learning about the enemy's situation, the four brigades sent 10 fighters to Chongqing to intercept the enemy planes, but shortly after the 10 planes of the four brigades took off, they were ambushed by a large number of Japanese fighters in the eastern suburbs of Chengdu. At the same time, the planes that attacked Chongqing did not drop bombs on the city at will, as in the past, but went straight to a military restricted area in Chongqing.

Seeing the Japanese planes rushing towards them, the artillery positions on the ground opened fire quickly, but the intensity of the fire was unexpected, and the density of the firepower was at least an anti-aircraft artillery regiment.

Soon one of the bombers was hit in the wing and disintegrated into the air, but the other successfully completed the bomb drop, and two specially made heavy bombs exploded in the military restricted area below, followed by billowing smoke on the ground. At the same time, Guisui was also bombed by the Japanese army, but the Japanese fighters that bombed Guisui were not a few, but more than 200.

At 10 o'clock, the plane was intercepted by the fighter plane sent by the joint air force command over Zhangjiakou, but the effect was not good, and more than 80 Japanese planes broke through the encirclement. At 10:30 a.m., the plane arrived at Guisui and carried out a strategic bombing of Guisui, the most fatal thing was that the central government compound was accurately bombed by the Japanese army, several central leaders were seriously wounded, two senior central cadres were killed, and another platoon of guards was killed in battle. However, these Japanese fighters who participated in the air raid were torn to pieces by hundreds of fighters from the Combined Air Force Command who arrived later.

No one thought that these two heavy bombs would change history, let alone that a military operation by the Chinese Dispatch Army Command would achieve such a major result.

After the air raid, the Ministry of Military Affairs of the Nationalist Government urgently issued an order to all troops on the entire front, ordering all units to immediately prepare for battle, all units that had rested and recuperating immediately to return to the front line, and the commander-in-chief of all group armies to immediately return to Chongqing to convene an emergency military meeting, and those who disobeyed the order were immediately dismissed from their posts on the spot.

Although there are many doubts in it, no commander-in-chief of the group army dares to defy the law, after all, Han Fuqu and others are bloody facts, and there are not one or two senior generals who have been cut off by President Jiang since the beginning of the war, so after receiving the order, almost all the commanders-in-chief of the group armies got up and returned to Chongqing, and then the Nationalist Government sent more than a dozen army lieutenant generals to the front line on business.

There are strange events everywhere that make many people scratch their heads, but there is only one person who can see it clearly, this person is none other than Yamada Tadaichi lurking in Chongqing. He had been observing the movements of the Nationalist Government since the bombers bombed the restricted military zone, and I did not know where the restricted military zone was, but Tadaichi Yamada knew it, because Chiang Kai-shek, the president of the Nationalist Government, the de facto leader of the Chinese War of Resistance, lived there.

His most important mission in Chongqing this time was to find out Chiang Kai-shek's residence and travel patterns, and then report it to the air force, and finally use the latest special aerial bombs developed by the empire to completely destroy it. They have done similar things three times, the first time was in 1938, although the bomb fell next to Chiang Kai-shek's Huangshan residence in Chongqing, and the violent explosion of the aerial bomb did affect Chiang Kai-shek's Yunxiulou residence, but at that time Chiang was lucky to dodge in time, so he was not affected. However, 2 of the guards were killed and 4 were wounded.

The second time, in 1942, was also unsuccessful, but this time it was different, and there were indications that someone in the top echelons of the government in China might well have been injured or even killed. Combined with the news from the front, Yamada Tadaichi Shaozo is almost certain that something must have happened at the top of the Nationalist government, and there is a more than 90% probability that this person is Chiang Kai-shek. This news is extremely important for the Chinese military and for Japan as a whole, and Japan, which has been in the doldrums for a long time, really needs something exciting enough to stimulate the enthusiasm of the Chinese people, Yamada Tadaichi thought.
