The Kwantung Army was caught in a dilemma. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

On the one hand, they were mobilizing troops and supplies, and they were gathering in Suihua and Jiamusi and were not preparing to attack Yichun. On the one hand, the town of Bei'an was hit hard again. In other words, the troops that have just been transferred from Bei'an Town have to be transferred back in order to defend Bei'an.

Obviously, it is not appropriate to transfer all of them back, and it is not good to say it.

The second factor was that the Korean garrison not only had to guard against the Soviet Union, but also had to deal with the Korean riots, and demanded that the Kwantung Army send troops to cooperate, mobilize the troops of Majima and Andong, and encircle and annihilate the riot forces.

The most difficult thing was that the Kwantung Army still had to support the Great War in Kannai. This is the fundamental reason for the shortage of military strength and materials, not only in the Kwantung Army, but also in Japan itself.

As a result, the Kwantung Army Command wanted to mobilize Sun Wu's troops, but Sun Wu's Japanese army did not agree. Sun Wu's opinion was to let a small number of imperial troops act as overseers and drive the garrison to attack Yichun. Even if the garrison is exhausted, Sun Wu's imperial army cannot be used.

Why? We suspect that the Soviet Union is moving strangely, and in the past, we were taken by surprise by border conflicts such as the Zhang Gufeng incident, and we have reason to believe that the Soviet Union might have taken the fortress by surprise.

The Kwantung Army abandoned the idea of mobilizing the troops of the Sun-Wu Kwantung Army, but intensified its efforts to transfer the garrisons from all over the country to the vicinity of Yichun.

On the west side, the Japanese army reoccupied the county seat of Tieli in Qing'an. On the west side, the imperial army gathered a large number of troops in Jiamusi, and some troops and military supplies were still assembled in Xingshan. It is foreseeable that around the time of the autumn harvest, the imperial army marched into Yichun in a big way. At that time, Yichun would definitely be occupied by the Japanese.

August 21. Yichun.

Like the Kwantung Army, Yichun was under tremendous pressure.

Yichun's pressure came from two sides, the first was the enemy's large army pressing the border. The second is economic pressure. The pressure is so great that people at the decision-making level are a little out of breath.

Originally, these pressures were big enough, but North Korea had another accident.

Officials and officers of Yichun met in a large conference room. The atmosphere of the meeting was somewhat dreary.

This morning, further news came from Andong, all of which were good news about the great victory of the Korean uprising.

According to intelligence, the victory of the great uprising shook the whole of Korea, especially North Pyongan Province, and the Korean people were uplifted and celebrated with songs and dances.

The intelligence also said that the advance team Li Zhi made it public that they would form a political party and form an army. I heard that some people wanted him to set up an anti-Japanese people's government in Korea, to apply for assistance from the Soviet Union, and after obtaining weapons and military training, he would use his iron fist to crush the rule of the Japanese army and restore the entire territory of Korea.

The slogan shouted by the Koreans was: Fight to Japan!

Kill the Emperor!

Local youths enthusiastically joined the army, and Li Zhi expanded the army aggressively, and at the beginning, when he had a gun, he recruited a new soldier. Later, the various units expanded their troops on a large scale and could no longer contain them, and there were now more than 70 remaining cadres of the original 100 people, most of whom were directly promoted from squad leaders to battalion-level cadres.

At the same time, a telegram also came from Vladivostok, saying that there were several members of the DPRK advance team of the Soviet Far Eastern Military District, who did not meet Wang Li's contact, and asked for direct cooperation with the Soviet Union.

After the briefing on the situation in North Korea, Zhao Ziqiang began to introduce the situation in Yichun. The first is the transfer of troops from the Japanese army. Then there was the situation of the Japanese army building the railway.

The Japanese army had reoccupied the county town of Tieli in Qing'an, and the construction of the Suijia Railway continued. The Japanese army placed a large army and pulled back the road construction workers, and the road construction speed was very fast.

Suijia Railway, starting from Suihua in the east, passing through Qing'an, Tieli, Tangyuan, Lianjiangkou to Jiamusi.

To build this railway, everyone has accepted the advice of the trail, that is, let them build it. Ignore him except to go on strike among the road construction workers and fight for wages. Because the railroad was repaired, the money and wealth were left in China, and in the future, if they did not want the Japanese to plunder, they could destroy it at any time, and there was no need to worry about its threat to the base areas. This does not contradict economic warfare.

Then Wang Cai spoke. Wang Cai first explained why he proposed this meeting: "Ladies and gentlemen, in recent months, Yichun has increased its population by 110,000, of which 50,000 are Japanese prisoners, 30,000 are troops returning from Beiping in Nanjing, more than 10,000 are the Third Army of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, and there are a large number of progressive youths and family members of the Anti-Japanese Federation. If there is no increase in the population, or if the population increases less, Yichun will have enough food to eat until October. However, the population pressure is enormous, and counting the newly seized grain, we can only eat food for half a month. This is number one. It is difficult to transport grain from places such as Suihua to Yichun Mountain, because there is also a large increase in population. Many people in Northeast China and North China knew about our victory here, and they flocked to their relatives and friends. There is a lot of pressure on food and materials. Nothing is missing. ”

Everyone fell silent all at once.

Wang Cai said: "Second, the materials are insufficient. The reason for this is known to everyone, mainly because the enemy blocked the transportation on the Suihua front line, and trade was completely stopped. Although we got a lot of floating money and materials back in Harbin this time, we didn't have enough raw materials. The raw materials for making match soap are only enough for a month's supply, and as for the raw materials for explosives, they are out of stock. The explosives plant has been discontinued. At present, only the glass factory and the steel factory arsenal are still in production. ”

Wang Cai waved the list in his hand and said, "Third, there is not enough medicine. Since our pharmaceutical factory moved to Yichun, production has always been in short supply, and medicines are military supplies that cannot be exchanged for money. In the last few major battles, there were many wounded, and even Japanese prisoners had to be treated, and there was a serious shortage of medicine. Fourth, there is not enough cloth. We are preparing winter clothes, not enough. This is a serious problem, and half of the winter clothes have not been solved. ”

Wei Jialiu said: "The production of the pharmaceutical factory is still very tight, and the raw materials are okay, thanks to Wang Cai." However, the current demand for drugs is too great. As soon as a batch of medicines was produced, it was transported to hospitals and front-line troops. ”

Xiaolu said: "Let's discuss. Don't worry. There are many of us, and there is always a way. ”

Zhao Shangzhi said: "I'm sorry. My Third Army is causing trouble for the base areas. I am ready to pull the main force out and return to the Tonghezhu River base area. ”

Xiao Lu said: "Don't say that, Commander Zhao. The Yichun base area belongs to everyone, and there is no problem of causing trouble. It is recommended that the Third Army only act in accordance with the instructions of the Manchurian Provincial Committee and your own plans, and do not consider the pressure from the base areas. ”

Zhao Shangzhi said: "Our plan is also to take immediate action to help the Yichun base reduce the pressure. ”

Xiaolu said: "I also suggest that the number of wounded in the Third Army is huge, and we must recuperate well." In the future, all the wounded of the anti-United Nations forces, who are not in good health, can be sent over for recuperation as long as possible. I think the arrangement of the Third Army is thus decided. ”

Zhao Shangzhi said: "Okay." The biggest problem was that the Japanese prisoners could save a lot of food if they were killed. ”

Xiaolu said roundly: "Commander Zhao means to maximize the use of Japanese prisoners of war, I think this is a good idea." It is not okay to kill, because we have our discipline and our long-term purpose. ”
