Chapter 578: Post-War Direction
readx; Just when Tang Shengming and Wang's puppet regime were maneuvering, the winter offensive on the frontal battlefield had also come to an end. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The winter offensive that began in November 28 of the Republic of China lasted more than three months, and in order to ensure this winter offensive, the national political axe mobilized a total of ten theaters and a huge force of one hundred divisions!
In this winter offensive, the First Theater of Operations attacked Kaifeng, Qinyang, Shangqiu and other places, and destroyed many enemies. Because the theater was "ordered to be cautious and march forward forever," it was commended by the Central Military Commission. The second war zone was Zeng Kefu Wenxi, Jiangxian County, Xia County, Yi County, Licheng, Shexian County, Lucheng and other places. Because the army launched an offensive ahead of schedule, it disrupted the operational plan of the theater, so the results of the battle were relatively small. The Third War Zone invaded Nanchang, Hangzhou, Fuyang, Yuhang and other cities, and cut off the Yangtze River water transportation for a short time. The army also admitted that because "the preparations had not yet been completed" and due to a surprise attack by the Kuomintang troops, "the Yangtze River route was temporarily cut off in front of Datong." At that time, "the battlefield was filled with gunsmoke, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the guns roared, which could be heard for miles away." However, after only three days and nights of fierce fighting with the Japanese army, the theater was forced to retreat to its original defense area, and was severely reprimanded by the Central Military Commission "until its mission was not accomplished." Guo Xunqi, commander of the 50 th Army, was dismissed.
Fifth War Zone: The offensive in this theater was fierce, and it captured strong strongholds such as Wangjialing and Wangjiahe, and the army suffered heavy casualties. The 3rd Division defending Xinyang and Yingshan and the 13th Division defending the banks of the Xianghe River were "subjected to stubborn and frequent repeated attacks by the enemy" throughout the winter offensive, and the troops suffered heavy losses in men and weapons. Eighth Theater of Operations: The Fu Zuoyi Division of this theater once attacked Baotou and recovered Wuyuan, Linhe and other places, annihilating more than 4,600 people in the army, and killing Lieutenant General Mizukawa Yves and two Dazuo of the army, and the army itself had to admit that the blow was very heavy. The 10th Theater, the Jicha Theater, and the Lusu Theater did not make any major moves.
Undoubtedly, the two theaters that have achieved the most brilliant results are the Fourth and Ninth Theaters of Coordinated Operations.
Among them, the Fourth Theater should not only maintain the offensive against its own theater, but also transfer the strength of six divisions under the personal command of Gao Fei, commander of the theater, to assist the Ninth Theater in operations.
In this operation, the 4th Theater concentrated the strength of six divisions to defeat the 6th Division of the elite 11th Army. He captured Lieutenant General Machijiri Liangki, commander of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army, and annihilated more than 11,800 people from the 6th Division, the 33rd Division, and the 14th Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army.
As long as the high flying is there, victory is within reach, which seems to have become a common idea in the minds of the whole people!
The people will not think about how many lives and blood of [***] soldiers are hidden behind such a great victory, and how many stories of tears and tears have happened on the battlefield, all they want is victory!
Victory, often able to cover everything!
The Winter Offensive was a large-scale, offensive campaign launched by the Kuomintang army during the stalemate phase of the War of Resistance against Japan. This campaign had a profound impact on both sides of future wars.
The Chinese side pinned down and eliminated a large number of effective forces of the Chinese army, and the winter offensive lasted more than three months, and the Kuomintang troops directly participated in the battle, with more than 550,000 troops, 1,050 sorties, 1,340 battles with the enemy, annihilated more than 30,000 Japanese troops, captured more than 400 enemy personnel, sank and damaged nine enemy transport ships, and captured 11 artillery pieces of various kinds and more than 2,700 rifles. The army itself admitted that the "sacrifices made in this operation were unprecedented in previous battles."
Secondly, it shows the combat effectiveness of the Kuomintang army, which has been continuously defeated since the Anti-Japanese War, and its combat effectiveness has been basically restored after simplifying the command structure and reorganizing and supplementing the training. At the same time, we have changed the past practice of stubbornly defending our positions and being beaten passively, and have strengthened our sense of attack. The Military Committee of the National People's Political Axe of the Winter Offensive mobilized nearly 100 divisions of strong forces to launch an all-out attack on the army, which was indeed expected by the army.
In summing up the campaign, the army also held that the scale of the winter offensive and the fighting will of the Kuomintang troops "far exceeded our expectations, especially the counteroffensive in the third, fifth, and ninth theaters was extremely fierce," "the enemy's will to attack was extremely tenacious," and "until about 20 January, the two armies still did not see victory or defeat."
Third, the safety of the Yunnan-Myanmar international communication line has been guaranteed. One of the reasons for the Winter Offensive was to secure the international lines of communication between Yunnan and Burma. After the Battle of Guinan in the winter offensive, the Japanese army that invaded Guinan and threatened the security of the Yunnan-Burma international communication line was dealt a heavy blow, and could only retreat near Nanning, and was no longer able to draw troops to cut off the Yunnan-Burma international communication line. At the same time, it objectively reduces the pressure on the battlefield behind enemy lines.
However, the winter offensive also exposed some problems in the Kuomintang army!
One of the main problems is the poor coordination between the various ministries. Due to historical reasons, the Kuomintang army was suspicious of each other and between the local army and the local army, and each did not obey orders, and also preserved its strength during the battle, causing many undue losses.
In the defense of Suixi by Fu Zuoyi's troops, the 35th Army and the 81st Army of Ma Hongbin in Ningxia were originally scheduled to ambush the Yue Army in the area east of Fengji Canal, but due to the unauthorized retreat of the 81st Army, the ambush battle turned into an encounter and disrupted Fu Zuoyi's general combat deployment; Another example is the Sixth Cavalry Army of the Kuomintang Central Army commanded by Fu Zuoyi, before the defense of Suixi, its army commander Men Zhizhong thought that his troops had suffered too much loss in the Battle of Baotou and could not fight again, and insisted on withdrawing to the Taolimin area of the Yikezhao League to rest, although Fu Zuoyi repeatedly dissuaded them, they finally withdrew, making Fu Zuoyi's army, which was already lacking in troops, even weaker, which was also an important reason why the Suixi Defense War failed to achieve greater results.
But in any case, the winter offensive organized by the Nationalist Political Axe was still a great success, especially in the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, when there were repeated defeats in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, and the haze that pressed on the hearts of the people across the country was finally temporarily dispelled.
And Gao Fei, this name has once again become the most resounding name in the country.
However, during this winter offensive, Gao Fei always had a secret and never reported it to Chiang Kai-shek. That is, he captured Lieutenant General Machijiri Liangji, the commander of the Sixth Division of the Japanese Army!
Not only Chiang Kai-shek, but even Yu himself was concealed. In their battle report, they wept sadly, "Lieutenant General Machijiri, the commander of the 6th Division, has always been calm and steady in the enemy's frantic attack, and insisted on sharing the weal and woe with the soldiers on the front line.
When he saw this battle report of his own, Gao Fei just smiled.
If you say that Machijiri is "loyal", then "loyal".
Gao Fei was strenuously opposed, believing that it was always a hidden danger to keep an Oriental lieutenant general in prison without letting the chairman know about it, a bomb, and God knows when it would explode.
But Goofy just smiled and didn't answer anything.
Lao Hei knows Goofy's temper too well, and no one can stop him from doing what he wants to do; What he didn't want to say, no one could dig out of his mouth.
Chen Yingying and others were transferred back from Yucheng, and the main officers of the Fourth War Zone also gathered around Gao Fei.
Gao Fei didn't miss anything about Mao Bingcai, and told his brothers in detail, and when the brothers heard it, they became chaotic at that time, and Ma Debi was the first to say: "Fuck, Dai Li actually put his hand on Lao Tzu's side, can he really do whatever he wants?" ”
"What about Mao Bingcai? Pull it over, Lao Tzu shot him! Yu Wenzheng also said hatefully.
"He has already defected with Tang Shengming," Gao Fei glanced at Lao Hei and said.
Mao Bingcai is a member of the military command, but he is still loyal to Gao Fei. And now he is following Tang Shengming to perform a special task
After a seizure, Ma Debi gradually calmed down: "What does the commander mean when he called us here today?"
"How many more of us are in the military? How many Mao Bingcai are there? Gao Fei said slowly: "Sometimes I feel scared when I think about it, and our every move is under the surveillance of others. Do you feel scared when you eat, sleep, what you do, and others will soon find out? I'm scared anyway! ”
"It's because the subordinates are not doing well, and they didn't find Mao Bingcai in time," Chen Yingying stood up and said.
"Sit down, sit down." Gao Fei waved his hand: "It's none of your business, no one will investigate my Gao Fei's side, and you don't have that much courage." Today I called you here, not to hold you accountable, but to think about what to do? All these people who are planted around us are bombs! Now the all-people war of resistance, its danger is not yet visible, but in the future, once the war of resistance is won? What to do? The danger of these people will explode at once! ”
Chen Yingying sat down and thought for a while: "Commander, conduct a comprehensive investigation and dig out all these people." I think that as long as I can dig up a big fish, I will pull out a batch. Such an infiltrator must have a command structure, and according to my analysis, this command organization must be in Fujian! ”
"You do it, what to do, don't come to ask me, I'll give you absolute rights!" Gao Fei smiled faintly: "Also, since Dai Li can install people around us, we may not be able to install people around him."
Xie Yi, who had never spoken, suddenly said: "Commander, aren't you afraid that some of us are Dai Li's people?" Maybe what you said today will reach Dai Li's ears in a while. ”
Lao Hei glared at him fiercely: "Lao Tzu looks at you like a person wearing a hat!" ”
Gao Fei smiled and stopped the two of them: "You are all brothers who were born and died with me, fighting bloodily. If even one of you betrays me, I will have no complaints even if I am sent to the guillotine! ”
Goofy trusts these brothers around him, this person, as he said, is born and died with him, fought bloodily, crawled out of the pile of the dead, and he firmly believes that no one here will betray him.
There are some people who can't be bought with high-ranking officials and money
"That's the first thing." Gao Fei changed his words: "The winter offensive has ended, I think we will go back soon, and now it is time to transfer to my fourth war zone." Economic matters, naturally, Cai Yu asked them to deal with them, and what I want to talk to you about is military issues."
Gao Fei lit a cigarette: "In Taiwan, although most of Taiwan is under my control, the fighting on the island is still extremely fierce, and the army is always thinking about retaking Taiwan, a place that is vital to them. Therefore, I have decided to choose one of you to personally guard Taiwan and stabilize the local situation as soon as possible."
His eyes went to his subordinates one by one, and finally fell on Ma Debi's body: "Ma Debi, you go." ”
"Yes!" Without any hesitation, Ma Debi replied loudly.
Gao Fei looked solemn: "Taiwan is important to me, and it is equally important to us!" Ma Debi, after you arrived in Taiwan, the task facing you was not only to drive all the troops out of Taiwan, but more importantly, how to eliminate the impact that the Japanese army had on Taiwan over the years."
Saying that, Gao Fei sighed softly: "It is said that the time for this to occupy Taiwan is too long, and the impact on Taiwan is also unimaginable to all of us here. Since the Treaty of Shimonoseki, the Manchu government has ceded Taiwan and the Penghu Islands to Yuben. The people of Taiwan were unwilling to accept foreign rule, and more than 100 armed uprisings broke out in the past 20 years. Under the circumstance that the policy of repression and massacre could not conquer the people of Taiwan, the imperialists adopted a more vicious hand and carried out the 'education of the imperial people' in an all-round way, in a vain attempt to 'assimilate' the people of Taiwan into the Yamato nation and eventually become the 'obedient people' of the empire. They manipulated the media in public opinion, preaching that 'the Yamato nation is the best nation' and boasting that 'the Great East Asian Holy War will eventually achieve complete victory.'"
In terms of customs, the people of Taiwan are forced to change the names of the Han nationality to their names, they are forced to wear kimonos, clogs, and tatami mats, the people of Taiwan are forbidden to celebrate the Spring Festival and worship their ancestors, and the performance of local Taiwanese operas such as puppet operas and gezai operas is prohibited, and students are forced to study and learn courses such as costume tailoring, flower arrangement, piano arrangement, tea ceremony, and archery, and inculcate the living customs and lifestyles of the Yue Ben; Religiously, the Temple of Literature, the Temple of Guandi, the Temple of the Jade Emperor, and the Temple of Mazu were demolished, and the temples were rebuilt to worship the "god Amaterasu." Economically, we have implemented the industrial policy of "industry and agriculture in Taiwan," and have built water conservancy and improved seeds, but this has restricted the development of Taiwan's industry
It is undeniable that the 'Imperial People's Movement' has indeed created a group of people who are willing to act as 'imperial people', including both large industrial and commercial owners and large landowners who have grown up under the wing of the Emperor's Father, as well as some intellectuals who have sold themselves to take refuge.
Under the patronage of the colonial authorities, these 'imperial families' set up factories, banks, businesses, land rents, and privileges, and accumulated a great deal of capital. After the liberation, the 'Imperial Family' quickly emerged in the business, political, and academic circles by virtue of the political, economic, educational, and personal resources accumulated during its reign. ”
Gao Fei said this, paused for a moment, pressed out the cigarette in his hand and continued:
"The most direct impact is the place name. There is a Ximending in Taipei, and you will know that its name originates from the book when you hear it; Kaohsiung's original name was 'Fighting Dog', but it was changed to its current name after I went. Similarly, Pingtung, formerly known as 'A Monkey'
In Taiwan's common sayings, there are also many clues of the book. Taiwanese people call the bathroom 'powder room' and the kindergarten 'kindergarten', and the same Chinese character name can be found in the Chinese language. The old man likes to use 'Obasan' or 'Dosan'.
Another is diet. Many of the foods that Taiwanese people like are called this flavor. Sashimi and a variety of bento boxes have the mark of the book; There is also a 'oden', which is also called this snack.
Taking a hot spring bath is a favorite leisure way for Taiwanese people, and it is called 'bathing'. It was first developed by Yue himself, who changed the customs of many aborigines. The Atayal people's writing was forcibly banned after they occupied Taiwan.
On the surface, they said that after entering Taiwan, they opened normal schools and medical schools, but their purpose was to try to brainwash Taiwanese people through education. In particular, after the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the so-called 'imperial education' that was carried out in Taiwan was carried out by the Emperor's People's Association, and the 'Imperial People's Association' was established throughout Taiwan, with 6 million people as members; even elementary school students were not spared the 'Amaterasu Okami,' who demanded that Taiwanese worship the Emperor's God," and the whole school was held to pay homage on the 1st, 8th, and 15th of every month. In 1910, the language was called 'Chinese' in Taiwan, and students were forced to speak it in schools, and in 1937, Chinese newspapers were banned altogether.
There is also a theory that it was Yuben who created Taiwan's industrial age. At that time, Taiwan completed the construction of transportation infrastructure such as railways across the island, and industries such as sugar and aluminum production also developed. However, all of these constructions were planned for the needs of the original year.
After the '918' incident, he deliberately used Taiwan as a base in order to transport supplies for his southward expansion. In other words, the vast majority of the people who have benefited from Taiwan's economic development are themselves. ”
The brethren were all listening attentively, and Goofy let out a long breath when he said this:
"Therefore, it is an easy task to achieve military victory, but how to completely eradicate the bad influence of the Japanese in Taiwan over the past few decades is the most important and fundamental matter!"
