January 10, 1939. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Yichun.

Xiaolu and Zhou Baozhong returned to Yichun together.

Xiaolu has always wondered why the Kwantung Army did not send a large force to crusade against Boli County. Not only was there no movement in Boli County, but even the other Japanese troops who were preparing to crusade against Yichun were also silent. Asked Yichun to study it, and asked local spy agencies to collect the movements of the Kwantung Army.

Soon, the Yichun General Staff sent back a summary, the fundamental reason is that Yichun sent 6,000 people to several counties on the south bank of the Songhua River, and the Japanese army suddenly felt that the strength was tight, and the garrison on the north bank of the Songhua River also carried out rural work, which was the huge loss of the Japanese puppet regime, and the Japanese army was obviously insufficient in strength.

There was also a change, that is, the activities of the Eighth Route Army in North China were frequent, threatening the Japanese rule in North China, and the Kwantung Army mobilized some troops into North China to ensure the campaign in Central China, so it was difficult for the Japanese army in Northeast China to mobilize.

There was another reason, that is, the Japanese troops on the border did not dare to move. The Japanese troops who had recently been transferred from the Japanese mainland to Northeast China had reached the border between North China and the Soviet Union. Recently, there has been a tendency for friction between the Soviet and Japanese armies to increase, but the weather is cold and neither side wants to fight a big battle.

Xiaolu still felt that the reasons of the General Staff were not sufficient, and now that the overall situation of the Wuhan Campaign had been decided, the Kwantung Army and the Japanese base camp should be very concerned about the relations between Manchuria and the Soviet Union, and should solve the worries of the Soviet border. Why didn't the Kwantung Army sweep out the advance army in the northeast?

In any case, after the Battle of Wuhan, the Japanese would devote a great deal of energy to the northeast and solve the problem of relations with the Soviet Union.

As a result, several pieces of information from Shinkyo answered all his questions.

As a result of the activities of the advance army in the past two and a half years, the financial revenue of the entire Manchukuo has dropped sharply. Coupled with the destruction of the advance army, various expenditures, including military spending, increased sharply. The puppet Manchurian is unable to make ends meet, and prices are skyrocketing. Recently, the puppet Manchurians have to print a large amount of currency, and the coins of the puppet Manchurians have depreciated.

One reason for the rise in prices is the reduction in planting.

The main source of military spending for the Kwantung Army was **, and the number of cultivation has decreased sharply, resulting in the Kwantung Army having to import from Iran and other places. The military spending of the Kwantung Army was insufficient, and after heavy losses, it was difficult to replenish it. Xinjing and other major cities not only increased taxes, but also forced everyone to buy bonds to supplement military spending.

How to buy?

In the pseudo-full salary, when the salary is paid every month, the bonds purchased are directly deducted. That is, the purchase is mandatory. Not negotiable.

Due to several large-scale urban destruction by the advance army, the Kwantung Army concentrated more of its forces in several large cities and the Soviet border, and the interior was empty. In places where the advance army did not arrive, the power of the bandits was rising, and the puppet Manchurian grassroots government kept asking for the bandits.

A piece of information from Yu Jingtao was the most valuable, and the debate in Tokyo about going south and going north intensified, and even the army was shaken in its determination to go north. A personnel change in the commander-in-chief of staff of the Kwantung Army was brewing, and many high-ranking officers of the Japanese army were discussing the matter.

Koji was very happy that Shouichi Terauchi's move finally worked.

Since the first year to the Tohoku, the advance team of Koji has been fighting against the ** industry of the Japanese. I was hoping that it would work in the second year, but I didn't expect it to work until now.

Since 1937, the Japanese have been engaged in an all-out war against China. Because they did not take all of China in three months, the Japanese had no choice but to start large-scale conscription, and a large number of troops were continuously sent to East and Central China. Japan adopted a wartime policy, and the economy suddenly became strained.

However, Japan was an economic power after all, and with the plundering in the East China and Central China Campaign, it was only now that the economy of the Northeast Manchurian puppet Manchurians had problems.

East China was rich, and the Japanese army plundered amazingly. Almost all the ancestral tombs in the countryside have been dug up, the antique gold and silver have been hollowed out, and all the cultural relics and scriptures of one temple have been transported away by a large number of Japanese monks. Private libraries were also looted, and shiploads of artifacts were shipped back to Japan.

It's all cultural plunder.

Economic plundering is even more vicious.

The Japanese occupied Shanghai and soon plundered Shanghai's economic lifeline. A large number of Chinese private assets have also become assets of the Japanese. The people of East China still had to survive, the merchants also needed to do business, and all economic activities had to be monopolized by the Japanese.

This is the reason why the puppet Manchurian government did not immediately experience severe inflation.

Just after returning to Yichun, he received another piece of information from Yu Jingtao that the Japanese army had decided to increase troops in Manchuria, and the specific plan was unknown.

Regarding the purpose of the Japanese army's troop increase in Manchuria, when Xiaolu did not return, the relevant personnel of Yichun began to discuss it. Some thought that it was necessary to deal with the Soviet Union, others believed that it was mainly against the anti-Japanese coalition forces. The point of view against the USSR prevailed.

This is the inertia of history. This large increase in the Japanese army was inevitable, because the Soviet Union was his main enemy.

Although there is inertia in history, there are still changes, because of the desperate battle of the Guangdong advance team, plus General Ye Jianying rushed from Wuhan to personally command the operation, and there are a large number of underground parties of the advance army in various parts of Guangdong to agitate the people's hearts, Yu Hanmou's troops held out for half a month. It fell on November 5.

The Battle of Wuhan also lasted for two more weeks, and it was only on November 7 that Chiang ordered the abandonment of Wuhan. Although the Wenxi fire in Changsha was not avoided, it was much smaller because of the rain not long ago.

The only thing that Xiaolu is unhappy about is that Jiang has not yet given his various armies in the Northeast a number. At present, Xiaolu has a great impact on Yang Jingyu and Wei Zhengmin's First Army, Zhou Baozhong's Second Army, and Zhao Shangzhi's Third Army.

The prestige of the trail throughout the Northeast has finally been established.

Now, although the anti-Japanese forces in the northeast have been integrated by the path, the number is chaotic, and they have whatever they call themselves. Like what

Lin Meng called his unit the advance team of the Red Army.

Initially, 500 people from Xiaolu came to the northeast, and the Northeast coalition army did not obey their persuasion and coordination at all, let alone the leadership. Later, they were admired by several major battles of the trail, and close ties were established with assistance to various troops. Little by little, the prestige was established.

Then, the actual maturity of the integration of the entire Northeast Army.

In the autumn, Yan'an proposed to reorganize the army in the northeast and strengthen leadership. After repeated discussions and many discussions with various leaders in the Northeast, the plan was finally agreed.

Yan'an will send leaders to preside.

Now, a piece of news that makes him happy is that two heavyweights have come to Yichun, that is, Mr. Zhu and Mr. Liu Shaoqi, that is, Hu Fu. They have already reached Vladivostok and will arrive in Yichun in two days.

Originally, Xiaolu arranged for their plane to land directly in Yichun, and for this reason, in the autumn, Yichun's runway was built. However, since the fall, several Japanese planes bombed in Yichun, and the runway was damaged.

The plane was Zhang Xueliang's, and the pilot was not familiar with Yichun and did not dare to land in Yichun. After negotiating with the Soviet Union, the plane landed in Vladivostok first, and Mr. Zhu and others took a train to the station near Yichun, where they were greeted by Yichun. After the plane is safe in the future, it will fly to Yichun again and send Mr. Zhu and others away.

Asking the central officials to arrive in Beiping is an idea that Xiaolu has had for a long time. Each of these people has their own personality charm, and their arrival has brought countless benefits to the Tohoku. Initially, Xiaolu hoped that Mao Gong, Zhou Gong, Zhu Zong, and Hu Fu could come to Yichun, and if Mao Gong could come, it would be good. If that's not possible, it's good to come to the other two. At the very least, it's good to have one.

Northern Shaanxi was also willing to send leaders to Manchuria to discuss for a long time, because Zhou was in the Southern Bureau, Mao commanded the overall situation, and finally decided that President Zhu and Hu Fu would come to Manchuria.

They were joined by Zhao Yiman, who had recovered her health, and her husband also came back with her, and Yan'an arranged that the two would continue to work in the Northeast.

In order for them to come to Manchuria, Yichun dispatched a large number of forces and repeatedly negotiated with the Soviet Union to solve the problem of routes and transportation.

It was not easy for them to come here, Hu Fu first passed through Shanxi to northern Shaanxi and Zhu Zongcong, and the two of them arrived in Outer Mongolia by plane, then by plane to Vladivostok, and then by train, and then by car to Yichun.

Together with the two of them, there were also some cadres who went to the USSR and several family members, who had already gone directly from Vladivostok to Moscow.

After the central government arranged for the two to come, Xiaolu made a series of arrangements, sent Wang Li to lead a few guards to Outer Mongolia to greet them, and accompanied them to Yichun all the time.

When they arrived at Vladivostok, Feng Zhongyun, Zhao Ziqiang, and Luo Cequn led the guards to greet them. Zhu and Liu secretly met with the marshal of the Soviet Far East Army Command, and then set off for Yichun.

The group took the train to the railway station near Foshan County, the train stopped, and the path walked into the train.

Mr. Zhu saw Xiaolu and said: "Our Xiaolu Lieutenant General is much more mature. ”

Hu Fu said: "Yes, when I first met him, he was a young scholar, and now he has an army of 80,000 in his hands, which is amazing, amazing." ”

Xiao Lu said: "It's really an honor to see the two elders again this time. Our cadres from all walks of life will inevitably be inspired by the two of them to strengthen their determination to resist Japan. ”

Mr. Zhu said: "I heard that your troops suffered heavy casualties? ”

Xiaolu said: "Yes." This is true of all units. It's much better now, a few years ago, the troops of the Anti-Japanese Union fought a battle, and only two or three percent of the dead were scattered, and then they gathered together to fight again. It's much better now, I brought back 30,000 from Kannai last time, and now I'm more than 3,000 dead. ”

Mr. Zhu said: "The Anti-Japanese Federation fought hard, which is similar to the Long March. ”

Hu Fu said: "In other words, the situation has improved now. Mr. Zhu, our low-key development is very effective. "Hu Fu is in charge of the Northeast, and he knows a lot of things.

Xiaolu said: "Yes. We need guidance, more from the central government. In the previous stage, I went to the south bank of the Songhua River, where the people had little confidence in the Japanese resistance. ”

Zhang Yongxing came in with a white cloak and whispered a few words in Xiao Lu's ear, Xiao Lu said: "All aspects are ready." Two chiefs, let's go. ”

Mr. Zhu said: "You are very cautious. ”

Xiaolu said: "Sometimes, Japanese planes often fly over Yichun, and if they find a target, they will bomb it. ”

Hu Fu said: "We obey the arrangement. ”

The group put on white cloaks, got off the train, and got into a row of five trucks. The trucks were painted white, the cadres sat in the cabs, and in the compartments sat the fighters, all dressed in white. Xiaolu and Zhu were in the second car, and Hu Fu Feng Zhongyun was in the third car. Mr. and Mrs. Zhao Yiman in the fourth car.

The car crossed the river, and everyone was silent. The Heilongjiang River has a wide field of vision, the wind is strong, and the snow on the ice is blown away. The river surface is uneven, high and low. The road is fine, it has been cleared. When he got ashore, Zhang Yongxing, who was in the first car, got out of the car, said a few words to an officer on the shore, waved to the convoy, and got into the car.

The convoy turned around a few times and entered the ravine.

No one noticed that after the convoy left, people stood up in the snow on the side of the road, one by one, these people were in groups of two, dressed in white and holding spears wrapped in white cloth, after the convoy left, the whole team gathered and followed the convoy.

This is a special combat team cadet arranged by Xiaolu.
