Come on, friends!

The big store in mid-March is already full of spring breeze and peach and willow green.

Liu Yimin puffed on a cigarette in his mouth, put his hands in his trouser pockets, stood in front of the window, and thought quietly.

The current situation was that Chiang Kai-shek was concentrating on the Battle of Shanggao and the battle on the southeast coast, and he could not imagine that the Japanese army, which was fighting against the Eighth Route Army, would point the spearhead of attack at Zhongtiao Mountain. Otherwise, he would not have summoned Wei Lihuang, commander of the First Theater of Operations, to Chongqing at this time, still less would he have transferred the artillery regiment that was responsible for the fire support of various units in Zhongtiao Mountain.

If the Japanese army really wants to attack Zhongtiao Mountain, it will be difficult for our army to support in the Shanxi battlefield. One reason is naturally the bitter fruit planted by Chiang Kai-shek when he launched two ****, he can't just fight the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, and the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army backhand went to save his defenders of Zhongtiao Mountain, what he thought was too beautiful! Another reason is that the Shanxi Eighth Route Army has just finished the Hundred Regiments Battle, although the main force of Shandong vigorously cooperated, eliminated the Japanese 36th Division and the 1st Tank Division, forcing the Japanese army to reduce the strength of the Shanxi Sweep, but the Shanxi Eighth Route Army still suffered heavy casualties in the anti-sweeping operations in the late Hundred Regiments Battle, and the ammunition consumption was also large, and the troops were in the process of resting and replenishing. The third reason is that the Japanese army is carefully arranged, and once it launches an attack, it is bound to be as urgent as thunder, and the Eighth Route Army may not be able to save it even if it wants to.

However, now and unlike in history, the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border region was much smaller in history, and the Japanese army captured Zhongtiao Mountain and threatened Tongguan, and what was anxious was the southern part of Huzong stationed in Xi'an, which had ties with the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border area, but the danger of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border area was relatively small, and the troops left behind in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border area only needed to take care of the river defense in the border area. Now it's different, the whole of Shaanxi is the rear of the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese army captured Zhongtiao Mountain, directly threatened Tongguan, and then threatened the 800-mile Qinchuan, the Eighth Route Army couldn't fight without supporting the defenders of Zhongtiao Mountain. Because, our army had to protect itself.

Of course, there is another consideration, that is, if the Japanese army breaks through the Zhongtiao Mountain and drives Wei Lihuang's troops across the Yellow River, then there will be no Kuomintang Central Army in the entire North China region, which will definitely be beneficial to the next development of our army. Historically, after the Japanese army ended the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, it was soon discovered that the Eighth Route Army's battle behind enemy lines had reached the Zhongtiao Mountains. Moreover, unlike the Kuomintang, they could not drive out the Eighth Route Army.

There are several possibilities, depending on how the Central Committee and the General Headquarters and Chiang Kai-shek's Military Commission make decisions.

To be honest, Liu Yimin is not even willing to mention the names of Chiang Kai-shek's two sons now. Originally, the main force of our army in Shandong had little grievances with the first since the Anti-Japanese War, and the main reason was that Liu Yimin unswervingly insisted on uniting to resist the war. It's a pity that Chiang Kai-shek has his own considerations, in order not to let **get US aid, and in order to take revenge on Liu Yimin, he would rather send Ni Hua's mother and daughter to the United States than let them come back to reunite with Liu Yimin. Flesh and blood are separated, poor Liu Yimin doesn't even know what his daughter looks like! Can Liu Yimin not hate Chiang Kai-shek?

Liu Yimin knew in his heart that at this time of the Anti-Japanese War, the international situation had developed to this time, and even if the Japanese army launched the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain and defeated the defenders of Zhongtiao Mountain of the Wei Lihuang Department of the First Theater, it would not be able to change the outcome of the early destruction of the Japanese army. It's just that Liu Yimin feels sorry for the 100,000 soldiers of the defenders of Zhongtiao Mountain, and he is unwilling to let those loyal soldiers die in vain!

Liu Yimin naturally wanted to change the fate of the defenders of Zhongtiao Mountain, at least to reduce losses. The method is very simple, as long as Chiang Kai-shek and Wei Lihuang know that the Japanese army is about to mobilize heavy troops to launch the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, it is impossible for the little devil's plot to succeed. At the very least, the defenders of Zhongtiao Mountain will not be defeated as miserable as in history!

After thinking about the possible battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, Liu Yimin was thinking about another question, whether the Japanese army would attack Zhongtiao Mountain first or attack central and southern Lu first. You must know that now there are heavy Japanese troops concentrated around central and southern Lu, and the northern line of Jiaoji Road is the same as the iron bucket of the Japanese army's 1136th chapter regiment to encircle the entire southern part of central Lu, and the total strength is more than the Japanese army's 1136 chapter artillery fire and strength to attack a certain aspect of the Japanese army, and it can only be broken a little, and after a long time, when the sun comes out and the little devil plane arrives to help the battle, it will be difficult for the Eighth Route Army to expand the results.

When he thought of this, Liu Yimin remembered the battle of Guanjiayuan in the Battle of the Hundred Regiments. Judging from the situation reported by the headquarters, it is similar to history, the 129th Division was strictly ordered by Mr. Peng to mobilize three brigades to attack the Guanjiayuan ring fortification defended by a brigade of the Japanese army, and suffered heavy casualties, which made Liu Bochengdu and Mr. Peng anxious. Of course, now after all, it is different from history, although the artillery regiments of the 129th Division and the Independent Division have been transferred back to Shaanxi, but the current 129th Division has been supported by Liu Yimin several times, infantry artillery, mortars, and grenadiers, and the firepower is much stronger than in history, and none of the Japanese brigades have escaped.

After thinking for a while, Liu Yimin felt that the Japanese army would definitely fight the battle of Zhongtiao Mountain first and pick up soft persimmons. After defeating the ** of Zhongtiao Mountain, turn back and solve the main force of the Shandong Eighth Route Army. It's just that the Japanese army will not let our army in Shandong stop, and will use all means to harass our army, so that our army will be exhausted and unable to fight against the defenders of Zhongtiao Mountain. Moreover, if the main force of our army in central and southern Shandong were to forcibly break through one aspect of the Japanese siege on three sides, the Japanese troops on the other two sides would inevitably launch an attack and respond, once again turning the base area into a mess.

In addition, it was necessary to guard against a sudden attack by the Japanese army from the sea. Because at this time, in Chapter 1136 of the Japanese army, landing tactics were trained in preparation for operations in Southeast Asia. Soon, Chapter 1136 knotted training. In case the little devil had a whim, Chapter 1136 of the shipping thought that Japan and the Soviet Union might want to sign a non-aggression pact. Ta Kung Pao was quick to quote The Times, and there was speculation that Matsuoka would visit the Soviet Union. Two days later, Reuters reported that Matsuoka was about to visit Germany and Italy via Siberia, and that the real purpose of his trip was to sign a treaty between Japan and the Soviet Union.

By the time Matsuoka was ready to leave on the 12th, he announced that he was going to visit Europe via the Soviet Union, and there was already an uproar in public opinion. Chiang Kai-shek sent an urgent telegram to Gu Weijun, the ambassador to the Soviet Union, to ask the Soviet government about the situation, but the Soviets and the Japanese, like the Japanese, were tight-lipped and could not ask anything. Chinese newspapers and radio stations had no choice but to say that the Soviet Union had provided the most aid to China and had the deepest understanding of Japan's aggressive nature, and that it would absolutely not sign any treaty with Japan to understand Japan's aggression against China.

Now, the German army on the European battlefield is in full swing, capturing Greece and soon attacking Yugoslavia. On the Eastern Battlefield, the Japanese army was not at ease after entering northern Vietnam, and it was obvious that it wanted to fight in Southeast Asia. International fascism was at its peak.

At this time, the most important factor influencing the course of the war was the attitude of the United States and the Soviet Union. On the US side, in a fireside chat at the end of the year, President Roosevelt openly compared Japan with the German fascists and the Italian fascists, and announced that he would increase aid to China, and the possibility of the United States entering the war has become prominent. Only the attitude of the USSR remained.

Liu Yimin knew in his heart that the Soviet Union's wishful thinking at this time was to ease relations with Japan and avoid a two-sided war. Because, at this time, Stalin already felt the naked threat of Germany and was eager to find a solution to the enemy on both sides.

In this case, Matsuoka's visit to the Soviet Union was bound to coincide. Although Matsuoka's idea of drawing the Soviet Union into the German-Italian-Japanese alliance was doomed to come to naught because Germany was about to blitz the Soviet Union, if Japan and the Soviet Union signed the "Japan-Soviet Neutrality and Friendship Treaty" as they did in history, it would only be China that would be betrayed and hurt.

Liu Yimin remembered clearly that the Japanese-Soviet Treaty of Friendship and Neutrality clearly stated that Japan recognized the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union recognized Manchukuo, and both sides sold China to the Chinese.

How can this kind of thing make it happen?
