On December 12, 1941, near the Wangye Temple, in a cave. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the cave, a man takes off his headphones and laughs at the wall. The confidential officer next door ran over and said, "Mr. Lu, what's the good thing?" ”

Xiaolu said: "Listen to the radio, you listen to the radio." "Xiaolu has just flown here from Yichun, and immediately tunes in to the latest American news. News is broadcast from Hong Kong or Chongqing.

The staff officer said: "English? Or Russian? Do not understand. I only know Japanese. ”

Xiaolu said: "This is an American broadcast. Listen, Pearl Harbor is on fire. Oil on the surface of the water is burning. Everything in the whole harbor was on fire. You listen. The repair shop, the dock was bombed and burned again. ”

The staff officer said: "Is this still good news?" ”

Xiaolu said: "The Americans have entered the war, isn't this news good enough?" Is there anything more stupid in the world than the Japanese government? No! Japan is stupid, can it not be happy? Lao Tzu endured for two years, and a better day came. ”

At this time, Constanta came to Xiaolu's headquarters, and saw Xiaolu sitting on a chair looking at the map, the table next to him had not eaten food, it was cold, the water was not drunk, it was cold.

Xiao Lu saw him come in and said, "Please be seated." ”

Konstanza said: "Lu, now is a good opportunity, we can attack. The opinion of the Politburo is that you want to impress the Japanese army in a large-scale campaign and launch a general offensive, instead of fighting a guerrilla war against the rural regime, as in the past. Our Far East was lost, and now, the pressure on Siberia is great. ”

Xiaolu said: "The opportunity is much better now than last month. I'm also ready to launch the second phase of the campaign. Now, my request report has been reported to Yan'an, and I am waiting for their instructions. As soon as it is approved, go to war immediately. ”

"The United States has become an ally with us, and it has become an ally, a de facto ally, with China. With the participation of the world's number one power in the fascist battle, the situation will immediately be different. I see that the USSR quickly counterattacked. ”

Xiaolu said: "The opportunity for a Soviet counteroffensive may not be ripe. There is bad news, I don't know if you know, the German-installed puppet government of Semenov has begun to operate, he has gathered more than 100,000 troops and started fighting the Soviet army. ”

Konstanza said: "Who are his troops? ”

Xiaolu said: "Look, the situation in the Soviet Union, you don't know as much as I do. More than half of his army is said to be surrendered Soviet troops, and a small half are Poles, Ukrainians, Belarusians, and Russians he recruited. ”

Konstanza's heightened enthusiasm was quickly extinguished, and he said: "These people are familiar with the climate and operational characteristics of the Soviet Union. Looking at it this way, we are in a bad situation. ”

"Today, Russia in the Far East has been ethnically cleansed by the Japanese, and we observe that they have slaughtered more than half of the Soviet population in the Far East, and only a few people who fled to Siberia and those who fled to our base areas have survived. There are more than 2,000 people in our base. ”

Constanta was silent.

Xiaolu said: "Don't be sad, I said that the second phase of the battle is about to begin. Just today, December 9, 1941, Lin Sen, Chairman of the Chinese Nationalist Government, signed and issued the Proclamation of the Chinese Government Declaring War on Japan, officially declaring war on Japan, Germany and Italy. ”

Constanta said: "Your great Chongqing government has finally declared war on Japan. It's been ten years, and it's incredible. ”

Xiaolu said: "Yes. Yesterday morning, the Kuomintang convened a special meeting of the Central Executive Committee and proposed: "The countries invaded in the Pacific should immediately formally form an alliance, and China should unanimously declare war on Germany, Italy, and Japan with the United States, Britain, and the Soviet Union." Although Japan's Tojo cabinet issued two statements expressing its willingness to make peace with "China alone," Lao Chiang was determined to declare war on the Japanese this time. ”

Konstanza said: "I'm going to ask again, when are you going to attack?" ”

Xiaolu said: "To answer this question, we have to look at the situation in the Pacific theater. At the same time as the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Japan launched an attack on Malaya. Soon they also attacked Hong Kong, Guam, the Philippine Islands, Wake Island, and a few hours earlier, the Japanese attacked Midway. What does this mean? What does it mean? ”

Constanta said: "What does this mean? ”

Xiaolu said: "It means that the troops are insufficient." In the Pacific theater, the Japanese army was underarmed. Agree? The Japanese don't sprinkle beans into soldiers. Agree? ”

Konstanza nodded, "Okay, agreed." No matter what beans, what soldiers, agree. ”

"The Pacific is short of troops, but the Far East is victorious, what does this mean for the Japanese?" ”

Konstancha said: "Transferring troops from Manchuria and the Far East? ”

Xiaolu said: "That's right! In order to transfer troops, it is inevitable that they will mobilize more new troops to Manchuria, and in this way, our opportunity will come. ”

Konstanza said: "You still have to wait? ”

Xiaolu said: "There is no need to wait for a long time, as soon as Yan'an approves it, we will start immediately." According to our intelligence, the Japanese troops in Vladivostok have left 50,000 in the past half a month, and the new troops have come in 20,000. The opportunity is coming soon. ”

December 12, 1941, near the Wangye Temple, base.

Konstanza found Xiaolu's office and said, "New news, Molotov has arrived in Yan'an." ”

Xiaolu said: "I see. This means that they are discussing decisions at the strategic level. Our task is to wait for their orders and act according to them. ”

Konstanza: "Regarding the battle plan, I still suggest that we first enter Hailar and Manchuria, and after victory, immediately enter Chita, so as to pose a huge threat to the Japanese army and rescue the Soviet Union." ”

Xiaolu said: "If you want to use my limited army here to defeat the Japanese, you must pay attention to strategy, not hard fighting. According to your plan, my troops will fight these two cities before they can take them.

December 15, 1941. Yan'an.

In fact, some changes have occurred in Yan'an.

Molotov negotiated with Mao Gong and others, and Mao Gong agreed to several matters: First, we will start fighting against Japan on the line from the northeast to Outer Mongolia in the near future, and the Eighth Route Army south of Shanhaiguan is on its way to fight in the north, so we must have an advantage over the Japanese on the local battlefield. Second, raise the level of the CCP's liaison offices in the Soviet Union, and send Sergei to the liaison office as a translator and secretary. Thirdly, continue to help the Soviet military and civilians in the Soviet Far East to retreat to the base areas of Manchuria.

The Soviet Union, for its part, promised several things. First, a part of the troops of the Eighth Route Army, which had already arrived in Lanzhou on foot, were airlifted by transport planes to Dihua, and supplies were airlifted to Dihua, Yan'an, Ulaanbaatar, and other places. Second, as compensation for the losses of the Eighth Route Army, the Soviet Union presented the Eighth Route Army with military supplies and production equipment worth 100 million rubles.

The talks got stuck on another thing, and that was the issue of unequal treaties.

The Chinese side demanded that the Soviet Union agree to talks with the Chinese Central Government on the elimination of the unequal treaties of the previous Tsarist era.

The Soviet side did not agree.
