readx; "Report to the commander, all the people have been captured!"

Glancing at Yue himself, who was tied up in front of him, Gao Fei said coldly: "Name." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"Shima Geno!" Shima Genxiong did not want to lose the dignity of an "empire" officer in front of the Chinese, so he tried to straighten his waist as much as possible, but then asked unwillingly: "Gao Fei, how did you know that I would attack you here?" ”

Gao Fei glanced at him: "I am a soldier, the instinct of a soldier. ”

As he spoke, seeing the bodies of those attackers being lifted out one by one, Gao Fei sneered: "Shima Genxiong, I'm a soldier, do you really think that with these spies under you, you can successfully assassinate me?" ”

"I failed." Shima Yuanxiong gritted his teeth: "I've heard of you, 'Shina Death', seven of my subordinates died under your gun, this blood debt, someone will definitely come to you to pay it!" ”

"Really?" Gao Fei didn't take it to heart at all: "The blood debt of 300,000 unjust souls in Nanjing, someone will also come to you to repay it, Dao Yuanxiong, believe me!" ”

As he spoke, he suddenly pulled out his gun and shot out the bullets in the gun in one breath at Shima Genxiong!

Everything happened so suddenly, Shima Geno didn't have any defense at all, he didn't even think that he would die here.

He is the leader of the espionage organization, and this time he was captured alive, Gao Fei must have a lot to ask himself, and he will try his best to uproot the espionage organization in Yucheng, but Gao Fei has no intention of doing so at all.

So until he died, Shima Genxiong's eyes widened.

Not only Shima Genxiong, but even Gao Fei's subordinates didn't expect the commander to do this. Adjutant Mao Bingcai took a while to come back to his senses: "Commander, just shot him like this?" Don't ask for a confession at all? ”

Goofy put away his gun: "I don't have time to waste energy on a spy. Kill one Shimamoto, crack a Shimamoto spy organization, and there will be more Shimamoto, and more Shimamoto spies will be sent in. The best way to stop it is to completely defeat Yumoto and make all the Shima Genxiong lose the meaning of their existence! ”

Mao Bingcai nodded thoughtfully

Ninth Theater Command.

"Chairman of the Fujian Provincial Political Axe, General Gao Fei, Commander of the Fourth Theater of Operations, has arrived!"

With this voice, Xue Yue hurriedly greeted him: "Brother Gao Fei! ”

"Brother Boling!" Goofy also strode to catch up, his four hands clasped tightly together.

"Brother Gao, I heard that he was attacked on the road?" While flying Gao into his headquarters, Xue Yue asked with concern.

"A few small attacks, already resolved." Goofy doesn't care about authenticity. As soon as he entered the headquarters: "Did my people come back?" ”

"Not yet, but soon, about the day after tomorrow." Xue Yue said with a smile: "Don't worry, Brother Gao, everything is safe, the people I sent out have already received them." In a moment, you will go and see the wounded soldiers who came back in the first batch and those who surrendered anyway. ”

"Good!" Gao Fei nodded, and gave Xue Yue a look, Xue Yue understood, and let everyone leave, leaving only himself and Gao Fei. Gao Fei cleared his throat: "The commission has already sent you a telegram, right?" At this time, it seems that I am going to fight here with Brother Boling. ”

Xue Yue smiled: "I can't ask for it, your name is high, your fame moves the world, and now Xue Yue is fortunate to fight the enemy with you, which is really a great joy in life." ”

As he spoke, he put away his smile and said seriously: "After the Battle of Wuhan, the Yue army successfully entered and occupied Wuhan, but at this time, the Yue army was already in a state of excessive extension, and most of its standing and A-level reserve divisions had been put into the front line, and they had not been able to destroy the main force of our army, and although most of the elite area had been lost, our political axe and committee were still not ready to accept the terms of peace talks, and I found that they had fallen into the abyss of a protracted war that they had been trying to avoid.

At this time, the choice of the army was to stop, consolidate the occupied areas on the one hand, and take a local offensive on the other hand, so as to exert pressure on the national political axe, hoping that the national political axe would agree to peace talks. This strategy was basically just a repetition of the old tune after the capture of Nanjing, but the situation was even worse for the Yue army, which at least doubled in size, and lacked both the strength to fully control the occupied area and the lack of sufficient reserves. ”

Gao Fei sneered repeatedly: "If it is wise for the army to adopt this strategy at the end of the 26th year of the Republic of China, it is stupid to restart this idea a year later." ”

"Oh, what do you mean by that?" Xue Yue asked with interest.

Gao Fei lit a cigarette: "The army entered China with a large number of newly formed Reading Brigade and B-level reserve divisions, and exchanged defenses with the standing divisions and A-level reserve divisions that were originally put into the battlefield. The troops that were replaced were either driven back home to be mobilized, or the Kwantung Army was transferred to fight the Russian threat. The army has deployed a total of 24 divisions, 21 mixed brigades, and two cavalry brigades in North China, with a total of nearly 800,000 ground troops. This number of troops was very large, and the cost of the garrison also put a lot of pressure on the political axe, but the occupied area was so vast that although the army had broken up the garrison into parts, it was stationed in a large number of squad and platoon-level strongholds in order to control the occupied area. Even if a division can only maintain the mobile strength of one brigade, the control of the occupied areas is still not very effective. ”

"Yes, that's exactly what we're getting." Xue Yue nodded: "In addition to trying to control the occupied area, I also hope to consume our strength with a local offensive, because the elite Dobu of the central lineage belongs to the southwest and acts as a reserve, or it is arranged around Wuhan to counterattack Wuhan." Therefore, the army decided to focus its local offensive on the defense areas of our Fifth and Ninth Theaters, and to take striking at the units of the Central Command one by one as the first priority. While all armies were busy adjusting their defenses and replacing divisions with brigades, the 11th Army occupying Wuhan still controlled the huge strength of seven divisions and three brigades, and undertook the task of continuously carrying out local offensives. ”

After a pause, he said: "In the 28th year of the Republic of China, the Eleventh Army first captured Nanchang, and then launched a large-scale offensive against the Fifth Theater of Hubei and the Ninth Theater of Hunan. The Battle of Nanchang, the Battle of Suizao, and the Battle of Changsha were carried out. But except for the capture of Nanchang, the blow to our army was not serious. At the beginning of the 26th year of the Republic of China, the Republic of China had just passed the plan for the reorganization of the First Sea and the Army, with a total amount of 2.4 billion yuan, and it could only be implemented. Therefore, the central bank's gold was prepared to be rapidly consumed, and by the end of the 27th year of the Republic of China, more than two-thirds of the gold stocks in the hands of the central bank had been consumed. ”

"It's money to fight, and it's not even necessary to say that I am fighting." Gao Fei interjected lightly, and then said:

After the Battle of Wuhan, the reorganization plan of the army was revised again, from the initial wartime 40 divisions to the 55 divisions at the beginning of the 27th year of the Republic of China, and then to the end of the 28th year of the Republic of China, with the goal of completing the rearmament of the 65th division and 164 squadrons of the army air force during the war by 1942. In order to produce and reserve sufficient equipment, ammunition, and the funds needed for the reorganization program have been rising steadily, and the annual budget for the expansion of the army this year alone will require 1.8 billion yuan. ”

Xue Yue looked at Gao Fei for a while: "Brother Gao's intelligence work is also very good." ”

"The three armies have not moved, and intelligence comes first." Gao Fei said calmly: "In fact, Yue Ben also actively wants to get out of China, but the conditions for peace talks are far beyond the bottom line of China's civil affairs axe, and the probability of achieving a breakthrough in this aspect is not high; On the other hand, although he tried to support the vassal political axe in North China and Central China, 'using China to control China', so as to help the Yue army weaken the influence of the national political axe in Yucheng, because the effect was not very good, even if Wang Jingwei's status and prestige were established, the national political axe could not be collapsed with Wang Jingwei's status and prestige, so this trick was useless. ”

Xue Yue smiled "haha": "Brother Gao's analysis is very thorough, so for Yueben, if the text is not good, then come to the martial arts!" However, as I have already said, the results of the 11 th Army this year have only been unsatisfactory, and on the whole the strength of the 11 th Army is not enough to allocate, even the divisions and regiments of the 11 th Army are also responsible for the task of occupying, and if they want to launch an offensive, they must draw up a large number of garrison forces, and under the premise that there are no troops to take up the defense, the offensive will not be able to continue; in other words, if we want to weaken our army with a major offensive, we must increase our troops by a large margin, otherwise what we can fight will only be a partial offensive that does not go deep.

Lieutenant General Okamura Ninji, commander of the 11th Army, also realized this, and he decided that diplomacy or small offensives could not be useful, and that it was necessary to greatly increase the number of troops and take a major offensive. As a matter of fact, since the Battle of Wuhan, the Army's 'garrison' has been reduced by about 50,000 since its peak after the Battle of Wuhan from about 850,000 to the Army's Army's Army, China, The full strength of the standing division or A-class reserve division is about 22,000, the newly transferred garrison division is only about 15,000, and the reading mixed brigade is only about 6,000. Although Gangcun Ningci's idea was correct, it was impossible for the higher authorities to accept it, and they were still considering further reducing the number of troops in China to 400,000. ”

"So!" Speaking of this, Xue Yue's face became even more solemn: "With the approval of the commission, my ninth war zone is about to organize a winter offensive and deal a heavy blow to the army!" ”

"All of my theaters have to prepare for the army or launch a local offensive, and we can't draw troops, except for my fourth theater!" Gao Fei said: "Therefore, my task is to command 6 divisions to assist the Ninth War Zone in launching the winter offensive!" At present, our various units have been drawn out one after another, and they will arrive at the end of the month, starting from my high flying down to an ordinary soldier, all under the command of Commander Xue! ”

"Brother Gao!" Xue Yue was a little emotional: "Brother Gao, as the commander of the theater, does not hesitate to surrender his identity, Gao Feng is bright, Xue Yue is not as good!" ”

Gao Fei exhaled: "Brother Boling, as long as you can defeat the Japanese Kou, what is this grievance?" ”

Xue Yue waved his hand: "Others don't know, but I know it very well." Your mission in the Fourth War Zone is just as intense. Not only to continue to fight for Taiwan with the Japanese invaders, but also to confront the Japanese army in Guangzhou and other places, and to be able to draw out 6 divisions, I am afraid that your brother Gao is already bankrupt, and even the last bit of reserve force in his hand has been taken out. ”

Gao Fei nodded silently, he didn't want to deny this, he did take out the last bit of reserves.

In Fujian, he fought wars with the Japanese at every turn, and his troops were overstretched, and the newly recruited soldiers could not immediately enter the battlefield, and in many places they could only be on the defensive, and they did not have the strength to attack again in a short time. From now until the new forces are put into the battlefield, it is the most difficult and most difficult stage for oneself.

However, Gao Fei knows more clearly that in terms of the entire anti-Japanese situation, he is not the main battlefield there, but the fifth and ninth theaters are. Only by waging a decisive battle with the enemy here can the situation of the War of Resistance be reversed little by little.

In order to achieve the final victory of the Anti-Japanese War, in order to minimize China's losses, Gao Fei will do whatever it takes!

At the same time, supporting the Ninth Theater also plays an extremely important role in the Fourth Theater.

After the loss of Wuhan and Guangzhou, the only channels for the Nationalist government to receive aid from Britain and the United States were the Guangdong-Hong Kong international communication line and the Yunnan-Burma international communication line. Due to the loss of Chaoshan and Nanning, the Guangdong-Hong Kong international communication line has been cut off by the Chinese army, and the Yunnan-Burma international communication line has also been greatly threatened by the Japanese army, and may be cut off at any time.

It is necessary to actively participate in the winter offensive in order to ensure that Fujian will not be directly threatened by the attack of the Japanese army!

Gao Fei thought about it and said, "Actually, it is still more beneficial for us to organize a winter offensive at this time. Because the battle front was too long, the troops were insufficient, and the army was short of supplies, it was no longer able to launch a large-scale all-out offensive operation, and was forced to switch to a defensive operation. The base camp of the Chinese army was also forced to change the strategic policy of aggression against China from 'quick and quick victory' to 'protracted warfare'. When Germany invaded Poland and provoked World War II, he said: "The Reich will not intervene in the war in Europe and will decide to move exclusively towards the settlement of the Chinese incident," and rejected Germany's request to send troops to the Soviet Union to respond to the European battlefield. He said that he was too busy to take care of himself. ”

"Not bad!" Xue Yue said: "On the other hand, although our side fought hastily, with inferior equipment, poor training, and the passive avoidance of war by individual generals, in the one year and four months of the war, we paid a heavy price and lost a large area of economically developed areas. Forced to remote areas in the southwest, northwest and some provinces in the interior. However, thanks to the painful experience of the committee and the national government, and with great efforts, the situation has been greatly improved.

In order to sum up the lessons and lessons of the previous phase of the war against Yue and draw up the strategic guidelines for the next period, the Kuomintang held military conferences at Nanyue, Hunan, and Wugong, Shaanxi Province, at the end of last year and the beginning of this year, respectively, to sum up the experiences and lessons of the previous phase of the war against Yue and to formulate the strategic guidelines for the next phase. Continue to adopt a long-lasting strategy. Continuously launch limited offensives and counterattacks to contain and consume the enemy, respond to the guerrilla forces behind enemy lines, strengthen the control and harassment of the enemy's rear, and smash his attempt to use China to contain China and feed the war with war.

At the same time, the command structure has been simplified, the corps, corps, and infantry divisions have been abolished, and the infantry division has been changed from the previous two-brigade and four-regiment system to a three-regiment system, which has greatly improved the mobility of the troops. By this month, our army had a total of 242 infantry divisions, 31 infantry brigades, 12 cavalry divisions, and eight cavalry brigades, totaling more than 2.8 million people, belonging to 10 theaters, including the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, eighth, ninth, and tenth, Lusu, and Jicha. There is already the possibility of a local counteroffensive! ”

Gao Feida agreed: "When I was in Yucheng, the committee once talked to me about this matter. After the completion of the first and second phases of our training, the combat effectiveness of the troops has increased greatly, and it is ready for a war. At the same time, the committee held that the army had been "divided into many forces, and when it came to the military invasion of China, it was said that it was a long way to go, and it was in a dilemma." In order to strike at the effective forces of the Chinese army and to smash the army's attempt to contain China with China and to nourish the war with war, all theaters should simultaneously exert their might and turn on the offensive. At the same time, there is another very important reason, that is, to deal a heavy blow to the Wang puppet regime! ”

"The establishment of the Wang puppet regime has dealt a great blow to the morale of the army and the people behind enemy lines." Xue Yue felt the same way: "In particular, Wang Jingwei's defection to the enemy and treason caused division and chaos within the Kuomintang."

Gao Fei was silent, and said in a low voice: "Fighting the winter offensive will also be of great help to our country in seeking assistance. ”

Xue Yue was stunned for a moment, he didn't know much about this.

I only heard Gao Fei say: "After the outbreak of the July 7 Incident, various countries issued declarations and speeches one after another, condemning the war of aggression against China launched by Yueben. Among them, the Soviet political axe provided a large amount of weapons and equipment and several large credit loans, and sent pilots directly to China to participate in the war, which gave important help in the early stage of China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. Later, due to changes in the international situation and the political tendency of the Kuomintang political axe, the Soviet political axe gradually reduced its aid to China.

After the July 7 Incident, the British and American political axes only morally condemned the aggressive acts of the Legnik, but did not provide assistance to China, and at the same time did not stop the sale of strategic materials to the Leg. Later, because the British and American governments no longer recognized the open-door policy, the interests of Britain and the United States in China were greatly damaged, and out of consideration for their own interests, the British and American political axes gradually took a stern attitude toward the policy. At the same time, the British and American political axes realized that only by supporting the Kuomintang political axes to continue to resist the Kuomintang political axes could they have no time to take care of anything else and ensure that they would not be attacked. As a result, assistance to the Kuomintang political axe was strengthened. ”

Speaking of this, Gao Fei paused slightly, and deliberately accentuated his tone: "Therefore, in order to show the international community China's determination to fight the war to the end in order to win more foreign aid, the commission has made up its mind to launch a winter offensive. ”
