Chapter 778: Full Bloom, Persecuting Chongqing

On the night of March 8. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yan'an issued an order ordering the Eighth Route Army, the New Fourth Army, the Northeast Coalition Army, the Guerrilla Army, and other units throughout China to launch an attack on the Japanese army in China, disrupt their transportation logistics, sabotage their puppet government, and contain their forces to prevent them from reinforcing Korea.

Yan'an issued an order to the base areas in various places: each township and city was required to annihilate ten devils every day.

This is a hard indicator.

Because the order is issued through the radio, various countries are also paying attention to China, so many countries are aware of this hard indicator. Some people interpret it as an assassination, while others understand that it is called a people's war.

The next day, regular army guerrillas from Jiangsu, Henan, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Hubei, Hunan, Guangxi, Guangdong, Hong Kong, Wuhan, Yunnan, Burma, and Vietnam attacked the Japanese army together.

It's a show of power.

At the Yalta Conference, the powers expressed doubts about Yan'an's capabilities. This time, Yan'an had no choice but to expose its actual strength in various places to show its strength to the world.

Another purpose of this is to show the people of the whole country that Yan'an has begun to lead the national war of resistance. Yan'an had the ability to defeat the Japanese, so as to boost the hearts of the Chinese people.

Of course, there is a downside to this, that is, Chongqing and the warlords of all stripes will be extremely wary of Yan'an. They will stop the fight of the nuclear Japanese army and preserve their strength. The worst possibility is that they reached a tacit understanding with the invading Japanese army and united against the forces to which Yan'an belonged.

Historically, in the later period of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, there was indeed such an order in the base areas to consume the Japanese army in this way. According to the research of historians, the ratio of losses to the enemy of the Japanese army by the peasants was actually the lowest, and even far better than that of the strong army.

March 9, 1945, 8:30 a.m. Chongqing.

Chongqing received a telegram from Yan'an: Chairman Chiang Junjian: In order to eliminate the invading Japanese army as soon as possible, I hope that the troops of your and our armies north of the Yellow River will go south to Jianghuai and fight together to eliminate the Japanese army in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. He also hoped that the troops of your army in the south would launch an active attack posture against the Japanese army in various places, and strive to destroy the Japanese invasion troops in China within half a year and fight to Japan.

It is suggested that you and we form a joint coordination group, each organize a decisive battle headquarters, and begin to plan for the final battle against Japan and liberate the whole of China.

Chairman Jiang observed the battle situation, and after a few days, he had already made his own opinion, and said: "We only make a gesture, we don't need to send troops, let them fight." "This is the best plan to drain the Yan'an army.

The people below quickly went to handle it. The representative office of the Eighth Route Army in Chongqing was waiting outside, ready to negotiate with the Chongqing authorities. On the same day, a coordination group was set up to discuss the decisive battle against the Japanese invaders.

In the evening, several newspapers issued a special call calling on the Kuomintang and the Communist Party to unite and plan the final battle against Japan.

Newspapers were distributed free of charge on the streets of Chongqing, and the crowd in Chongqing was boiling. The common people knew that the war situation on the Korean Peninsula was progressing favorably, and that the Japanese army had not been reinforced from the Japanese mainland, and that the Japanese were running out of stamina, and they all hoped to take the opportunity to liberate the whole country. Yan'an's actions are also very clear, everyone sees it, and everyone expects Chongqing to increase its efforts and fight a decisive battle against Japan.

In the past few days, a series of actions made by Yan'an have put tremendous pressure on Chairman Chiang.

In late February, Song Ziwen, who had attended the Yalta Conference, returned to Chongqing and conveyed the spirit of the Yalta Conference to him.

The humiliation of not attending the meeting had erupted several times, and during the meeting, Soong Ziwen's telegram seemed to have been transmitted back to Chongqing. He was extremely angry at Mao Gong's leadership of the Chinese delegation and became angry several times.

When the countries raised strong doubts about Yan'an's proposal, he also began to be suspicious. But soon, he began to be vigilant: how much power did he have to promise to take North Korea and attack the Japanese mainland with the American army?

He made a strategic analysis of the Asian solution proposed by Mao Gong in Yalta, and when Yan'an offered to send troops to aid the Soviet Union, he began to be confused: what confidence did Yan'an have?

If no miracle happens, according to the plan proposed by Yan'an, Yan'an's Northeast Coalition Army will be exhausted in the big war, especially in the attack on the Japanese mainland.

In order to win the war against Japan, they were bound to throw the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army in North and East China into the war against the Japanese mainland.

Lose both.

These days, the president's conclusions have become clearer, and he has held several meetings in a row, some of which are private military meetings, and all remarks are not made public, and even the meetings are not known to the outside world. The other few are public meetings where the President will address several public meetings. In his speech, he analyzed the international situation and the domestic situation, and concluded that it was too early to fight a decisive battle against Japan, and that the main attention of the allied forces was on the Pacific Theater and the Yunnan-Burma Theater, and we should actively prepare for one year, counterattack in two years, start a war in three years, and succeed in five years.

Now, the idea in his heart is to let them fight first. If you leave North China, I will occupy North China, and when you and the Japanese army are both defeated, I will be able to reap the benefits.

In the afternoon, Yan'an sent another telegram of suggestion, which was sent to the two headquarters of Yan Xishan and Fu Zuoyi, in addition to putting forward suggestions for the next move, but also reported: "The Outer Mongolia Department, the Inner Mongolia Department, and the Shanxi troops of our Eighth Route Army have begun to move southward in order to conduct a meeting with the enemy in Henan and Jiangsu, and I hope that your army will give it convenience." ”

Of course, doubts came quickly: China has not been liberated, so why should it liberate North Korea? Some people also said: If the DPRK agrees to become a part of China, it is still possible to liberate the DPRK, otherwise, the Northeast Coalition Army should return to the northeast and go south to Henan, instead of fighting in Korea.

The Korean battlefield is progressing well.

In the next few days, Zhao Shangzhi's Third Army attacked east and north, and Zhou Baozhong's Second Army, which was mainly attacking Pyongyang, rested for five days, crossed the Taedong River, waved south, and marched to Seoul.

On the same day that Pyongyang was captured, a miracle occurred when the commander of the Northeast Police Force, Wang In-ji, led 30,000 police troops to appear on the northern coast of North Korea.

According to the plan, Wang Renzhi why the order in the neighboring areas of North Korea. Wang Renzhi took the initiative to attack, and a few days ago he crossed the Yalu River from Cong'an, crossed the mountains, and gathered in North Korea. Today, the army surrounded the seaside city of Jincheng, and attacked at night, with a drum down, and more than 300 defenders were killed.

In the days that followed, all the coastal towns were recovered by Wang Renzhi. Wang Renzhi's newly formed Coast Guard dispatched several troop carriers from Vladivostok to transport his troops along the coast, speeding up his march.

On March 13, his troops and Zhao Shangzhi's vanguard met at Yuansan, and since then, the Japanese army has held Kaicheng, Yan'an County, and the Northeast Coalition Army has held Haizhou and other places, and the two armies have faced each other.

Wang Renzhi began to escort more than 40,000 captives back to Ji'an. This group of captives had already been booked on Sakhalin, where there were plenty of roads waiting for labor.

Mr. Zhu had an evaluation of his military action: "This Wang Renzhi, if you give him an order, he can do eighty things according to this order." If he hadn't been allowed to become a police officer in the Northeast, he would have been beaten to Japan now. It is reassuring to hand over security in the northeast to him. ”

Mao Gong said: "I really want him to go to the front line, but to firmly grasp the northeast base area, public security is the most important, even more important than the front line." I had to ask him to be a policeman. He is a policeman in the Northeast Liberated Zone, and I am relieved. ”

In the past few days, various newspapers and broadcasts have published and broadcast Wu Ting's proclamations one by one. Xiao Lu organized a capable writing team of more than a dozen people, and according to the discussion of the meeting and Wu Ting's opinions, he wrote a proclamation and sent it out immediately. Several important proclamations were distributed throughout the DPRK in the form of leaflets.

Wu Ting has been working in North Korea for more than a year, and because he participated in the Long March and has high prestige, he quickly established his prestige among Korean cadres. The underground party in North Korea has been handed over to him, and the guerrillas everywhere have taken him as their leader. He had two troops under his command, one was Choi Hyung-sik's First Army and the other was Lee Hongguang's Second Army. The two forces have forged ahead and have now made a name for themselves.

On March 10, Mao Gong published an article entitled "The Last Battle against the Japanese Invaders". The article says that now that the Japanese army is retreating one after another and is no longer able to counterattack, our military and people want to launch a final war against Japan: "The war against Japan is in the final stage, and the time has come for the final victory over the Japanese aggressors and all their lackeys. Under these circumstances, all anti-Japanese forces of the Chinese people should launch a nationwide counteroffensive and closely and effectively cooperate with the Soviet Union and other allies. ”

"The Eighth Route Army, the New Fourth Army, and other people's armies should, under all possible conditions, carry out extensive attacks against all aggressors and their lackeys who are unwilling to surrender, annihilate the forces of these enemies, seize their weapons and assets, and violently expand the liberated areas and shrink the occupied areas."

"It is necessary to unleash the organization of armed task forces, hundreds and thousands of teams to go behind enemy lines, to organize the people, to break through the enemy's lines of communication, and to cooperate with the regular army. It is necessary to unleash the millions of people in the occupied areas, immediately organize an underground army, prepare an armed uprising, cooperate with the army attacking from the outside, and destroy the enemy. Attention should still be paid to the consolidation of the liberated areas. ”

"This year, among the existing 20,000,000 people and the people of all newly liberated areas, we should generally reduce rents and interest rates, develop production, organize the people's political power and the people's armed forces, strengthen the work of the militia, strengthen the discipline of the army, uphold the united front of the people from all walks of life, and prevent the waste of manpower and material resources. All this is aimed at strengthening the offensive of our army against the enemy. The people of the country must be mindful of the danger of civil war and work towards the establishment of a democratic coalition Government. ”

The article concludes, "A new stage of China's national liberation war has arrived, and the people of the whole country should strengthen their unity and struggle for the final victory." ”

On March 11, the results of the Battle of Pyongyang in North Korea reached China and were publicly announced. In the Pyongyang campaign, a total of 65,000 people were annihilated, and only 3,000 escaped from Pyongyang. The puppet army in Pyongyang died, and those who participated in the uprising participated. The Japanese militia involved in the war annihilated more than 30,000 people, and the rest were taken prisoner.

At present, about 150,000 Japanese regular troops have been annihilated in the whole of Korea, and the number of regular Japanese troops on the Korean Peninsula is less than a quarter of our army. It is only a matter of time before North Korea is fully liberated.
