June 4, 1942. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info night. Shenyang.

Now, Koji can't wait to restore the name of Tohoku to before the Japanese occupation, or rather, to his own time. Because recently, the entire Northeast Coalition Army has planned a campaign plan for the southern part of the Northeast. For this plan, the top level of the Northeast held several meetings, and the staff also did a lot of work. Various local armies also made a lot of preparations in advance.

When Zhou Gong came to the Northeast, he also participated in the planning of the campaign.

This was a huge strategic battle, with 300,000 troops dispatched, plus militia and migrant workers, the number was as high as 800,000, and Yan'an attached great importance to it, believing that this was the most critical battle to recover the Northeast, and participated in the formulation of the campaign plan throughout the process.

Different troops, with different ideas. Most of the troops in southern Liaoning demanded that the net be opened, and while beating them severely, the Japanese troops would be let go and let them leave from Dalian. In this way, strength can be preserved and losses can be reduced.

Mao Gong's proposition is to fight southern Liaoning first, Dalian first, and close the door to fight dogs. His courage was so great that he finally persuaded the leaders of several units in southern Liaoning to resolutely implement this decision.

People with strategic vision in the Northeast are worried that if we have beaten the Japanese army badly, will the Japanese army transfer troops from North China, Central China, the Far East, and even the Pacific Ocean to attack us?

The upper echelons of Yan'an have similar concerns. In addition, the upper echelons of Yan'an are also worried that we are too sharp, and Chongqing will be afraid of us. In that case, friction will continue in various places, and work behind enemy lines will encounter tremendous difficulties.

It's a hard decision. Just two days ago, Mao Gong finally made up his mind to start a war in Yingkou Dalian and close the door of the cage. The opportunities in the Northeast are fleeting. As long as the whole northeast is occupied, there is no fear of being squeezed in the pass. We are strong, and we are not afraid of Chongqing and their squeezing.

Xiaolu even had an idea that if necessary, he could take the central part of Yan'an to Harbin.

The Kwantung Army has not had a good time lately, with both ice and fire. On the one hand, the glory of the Soviet Far East, and on the other hand, the defeat of Manchuria.

The Kwantung Army suffered huge losses. Until now, the Japanese army has suffered huge losses, and the puppet army has suffered even greater losses. was first attacked on the front line of Qiqihar in Inner Mongolia, and before the army could reach Qiqihar, Harbin was broken again. The army turned back to Harbin, and it was reported that the Eighth Route Army had assembled in Jiamusi and was preparing to attack Jiamusi.

Jiamusi is a big battle, but they dispatched advanced weapons to conquer Jiamusi. This was much more important than the capture of Harbin on the Kwantung Army, because this time the losses were the greatest.

The Kwantung Army doubts, how many people are in the Northeast of the Eighth Route Army? The Eighth Route Army now has fierce artillery fire, excellent guns, and plenty of ammunition, how much aid did they get in the Soviet Union?

The Kwantung Army wanted to base camp at first, and wanted to transfer back 300,000 Soviet troops, but as a result, of course, this was impossible.

The base camp has now taken over the movement of Japanese troops in the Soviet Far East, Vladivostok has been largely repaired, and a headquarters has been set up, although the troops are all drawn from the Kwantung Army, but this command is no longer under the control of the Kwantung Army.

In addition, the Far Eastern Railway operated normally, constantly transporting looted materials to Vladivostok and personnel and military supplies to Siberia.

The abundance of timber harvested in the Soviet Union, as well as the coal that drove the captives, was so important to Japan. A large number of tens of thousands of Korean prisoners were sent to work as coolies and transported supplies to the Japanese mainland, and the whole of Japan was praising the attack on the Soviet Union. The sudden increase in the amount of supplies shipped back has greatly eased the economic pressure, and Japan is no longer inseparable from Siberia.

Today, Siberia has more than 400,000 Japanese troops stationed, most of them on the western front, with the exception of a few in several cities such as Vladivostok and along the railway. Now, preparations for the offensive have been in place there since early summer.

At this time, it was a very difficult decision on the Western Front, whether to attack the USSR or to hold on there, and the base camps were arguing.

At this juncture, who can take care of the affairs of Manchuria? The whole base camp believed that Manchuria was a chicken rib compared to the Far East.

Just when the transfer of troops failed, something happened in southern Liaoning.

The loss of Jinzhou last month, not to mention the loss of tens of thousands of troops, but also completely cut off the passage into Manchuria, and the Guannai and Manchuria could not support each other, and the Kwantung Army immediately felt a kind of terror. At present, Japan's food shortage depends entirely on grain from East China. In order to ensure safe speed, only the transport is reversed, and then transshipped to Japan. The railway is broken, how can the grain from East China be transported?

If this continues, Manchuria will be lost. Could it really be that the Soviet Far East was taken and Manchuria was lost? The Kwantung Army simply did not have the ability to start a decisive battle with the anti-Japanese coalition forces in Manchuria.

Therefore, they set their sights on the North China Army. Ask for help from North China.

After the fall of Jinzhou, the Kwantung Army's distress telegram had already been sent. Now, reinforcements from North China have arrived.

June 5, 1942. Peiping.

Gangcun Ningci ordered the puppet army Sun Liangcheng to attack Jinzhou.

In an interview with several news agencies in late May, when asked about his next steps, he said: "At the moment, I don't care about the Japanese in Changchun, Shenyang. I have a soft spot for Beiping, the last time I visited Beiping once, I haven't been there for a few years, I miss Beiping very much, I want to lead 200,000 troops, to eat a little Beiping flavor snacks. ”

The newspaper published this part of his conversation.

The newspaper with the conversation was soon on Okamura's desk.

Okamura, because of the deterioration of the situation in Manchuria, was already mobilizing troops to attack Rehe and Jinzhou. Now, when Manchuria asked for help, he felt that if he did not regain control of Manchuria in time, North China would be in danger.

Okamura had long been prepared, and tens of thousands of elite Japanese troops had already gathered in Tangshan and Qinhuangdao, and they were about to attack Jinzhou.

It was at this time that the Manchurian Eighth Route uttered a language of challenge. Why, he wants to attack North China again?

It turned out that Okamura's power in North China had increased. After the Battle of the Hundred Regiments, Okamura not only increased his military strength and focused on public security in North China, but also adopted different policies.

After the Battle of the Hundred Regiments, the policy of the Japanese army was the three-light policy, burning, killing and robbing. The burning is for revenge, for the Eighth Route soldiers and civilians to have nowhere to live. Killing all of them is to make the people dare not fund the Eight Roads. Robbed all, that was to make the Eighth Route Army have no supplies, and by the way, also supply the Japanese army.

When the situation calmed down a bit, he adopted a more relaxed policy, which he called in his diary the "three noes" policy, that is, "no killing, no robbery, and no fornication." He also used the eyes of a Chinese woman to judge the effectiveness of policy implementation. If a young Chinese woman dares to walk on the street where there are Japanese troops, it means that the policy is effective.

He was preparing for a long occupation.

In addition, because the Japanese army was only 250,000, fixed-point defense would lead to a situation of passive defense, so he began to take the initiative to defend, which led to the shrinking of the territory of the Eighth Route Army, and a large number of national army troops could not hold on and surrendered. Historically, Zuo Quan died in battle under such circumstances.

By the spring of 1942, hundreds of thousands of Kuomintang troops could not hold out and surrendered to the Japanese army. The Kuomintang Army had many guerrilla units in the Japanese-occupied areas. Because the Japanese army was limited and could not control the entire occupied area, the Kuomintang army took the opportunity to expand its territory and conduct guerrilla warfare.

The troops left behind the enemy lines by the Guofu Army were mainly the former Northwest Army, which had rebelled many times and were suppressed by Chongqing. In addition, Chongqing treated them unfairly, and the military pay and materials given were limited. met with the Japanese envoy, and the two sides hit it off and surrendered to the Japanese army one after another.

Noting the events in Jinzhou, Rehe, and Manchuria, Okamura was shocked.

The Kwantung Army had achieved a brilliant record in the previous autumn, acquiring millions of square kilometers of land in the Soviet Far East, at a time when almost all of Japan was in a state of madness, and the Japanese forces in North and South China were greatly encouraged.

When the Japanese army captured all the cities of southern Baikal, the Japanese army became even more crazy in the country, and the enthusiasm of the young people to serve as soldiers increased.

Just recently, the Kwantung Army, stationed near Lake Baikal, in the warm weather of spring, again cooperated with the German offensive, attacked west along the railway, had already advanced more than a thousand kilometers to Siberia, occupied Krasnoyarsk.

Krasnoyarsk is the third largest city in Siberia, and the Yeseny River passes through the city and flows north. The Soviets blew up all the bridges, and the Japanese army advanced, relying entirely on trains, so they could not advance, and occupied the city of Hedong. The Soviet people have run clean.

Hearing this news, and thinking of the counterattack of the German army occupying Moscow, and the rout of the Soviet troops around Moscow, Okamura felt that the complete victory of the Japanese army was almost within reach.

However, Okamura judged that it would not be easy for the Kwantung Army to continue its advance, and it was likely to use the Yeseny River as the boundary to confront the Soviet army in Siberia.

In addition, it was not suitable for the Japanese army to continue its advance, because although the Soviet center was in Yekaterinburg, many of the central departments were in Kuibyshev, a few hundred kilometers west of Novosibirsk. If the city of Novosibirsk was approached, it would provoke a massive counterattack by Soviet troops.

But at this time, something happened in Manchuria, and the Eighth Route Army in Manchuria captured several large cities, annihilated more than 100,000 Japanese troops and the Manchurian army, and pointed its troops to North China. If no more troops are dispatched, then North China will be in danger.

But Okamura also has a hard time. This feeling is the same as that of the Kwantung Army, that is, the strength is tight. Although there are hundreds of thousands of more Huang Xiejun, those troops can't be counted on. Last year, due to the improvement of public order and the shortage of troops in the plan to advance south into the Pacific Ocean, some troops were transferred to North China, which led to a shortage of military strength in North China, and the activities of the Eighth Route Army became frequent.

If the troops are sent to the northeast, then the May Day sweep will have to choose another time.

There are not enough troops, there are not enough troops.

Therefore, his attention fell on Sun Liangcheng, who had recently surrendered to the Japanese army.
