[Anti-Japanese Iron and Blood King] Chapter 529: One Word - Dry! (Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass, ask for everything!) ）

Lao Jiang knew very well that China now urgently needed a hearty victory to sweep away the haze of decadence and depression shrouded in the heads of the people, otherwise if this situation continued, the Japanese army was likely to go up the Yangtze River and go straight to Yichang, Chongqing and other places, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

However, Lao Chiang analyzed the map for a long time, but did not see any worthy targets, from North China to Central China to South China, the Nationalist Government's several major theaters were almost in a bad state of being attacked by the Japanese army, and they were really unable to launch a large-scale offensive.

Suddenly, a point on the map caught the attention of Lao Jiang, Datong, an important town in northern Jin. When the Japanese army captured Wuhan, the fierce general of the Communist Party took the opportunity to take this ancient city, and its vanguard even inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese 20th Division on the Hunhe River between Shuoxian and Dai County, showing the prestige and morale of the Chinese.

The Battle of Northern Jin ended with the complete defeat of the Japanese army, and even though a large number of troops returned to North China after the Japanese captured Wuhan, there was still no move to recapture Northern Jin.

And it has been a full few months since the Battle of Northern Jin, and with the recovery ability of Ma Zheng's department, I am afraid that it has recovered its vitality at this time. If a large-scale campaign is launched in North China by the headquarters at this time, it should attract the attention of both domestic and foreign people. A big victory could calm the shock caused by the loss of Wuhan.

What's more, during this time, the conflict between the little devil and Lao Maozi in the Outer Mongolia area became more and more intense, and once a large-scale battle broke out in the Suicha area, the Japanese army would not dare to launch an attack on the area west of Wuhan at this time.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the more likely this plan was to succeed, and the only thing he was worried about now was whether Yan'an would agree, after all, it was the Eighth Route Army that was going to go to the battlefield to fight the little devils. With Yan'an's approach of preserving its strength, they may not be willing to fight this battle.

However, it is man-made, Yan'an still has the determination to resist Japan, and it is really not possible for the government to give some benefits to always move them. After thinking about it again and again, Lao Jiang decided to talk to Vice Chairman Zhou, the permanent representative of Yan'an in Chongqing.

On August 15, Yan'an sent a telegram to the headquarters of the Suicha Military Region to convey the meaning of Chongqing to Ma Zheng and ask for his opinion.

In fact, the chairman and others also realized that the situation in China was very bad at this time, and the fall of Wuhan was a huge blow to China's War of Resistance, and the argument that the War of Resistance was bound to perish, which had finally been suppressed, once again prevailed, and if the situation continued like this, the consequences would be very serious.

Just as Lao Jiang considered, the bigwigs in Yan'an also believed that China now needs a big victory to win back the hearts and minds of the people and the military, and China must come out of the unfavorable situation of the fall of Wuhan.

But the problem now is that there are not many places in China's major theaters that are capable of launching a large-scale campaign, and only Ma Zheng's department can think about it. However, the chairman and others knew that the Suicha Military Region was also full of problems now, and the most important soul figure Ma Zheng was not in Guisui.

As far as the current situation of the Suicha Military Region is concerned, it is best to be quiet and not make any big moves, and to focus on stability. On the one hand, it is because Ma Zheng is not there, and the dragons are leaderless, and on the other hand, many industrial zones such as Guisui, Baotou, and Dongsheng of the Suicha Military Region are developing rapidly, and it is best not to break this quiet situation.

I want to fight but don't dare to fight, this is the mind of the chairman and others. On the one hand, the overall situation of the country, and on the other hand, the actual difficulties faced, after thinking about it, the chairman and others decided to hand over the decision on this matter to Ma Zheng, after all, no one in the Suicha Military Region knows the situation better than Ma Zheng. If he wants to say that the Suicha Military Region can afford this battle, then he will fight it, and vice versa.

After reading the telegram sent by Yan'an, Ma Zheng was happy, he originally planned to teach the little devil a hard lesson, hoping to attract the attention of the Japanese army in North China. I didn't expect that before I reported the battle plan to Yan'an, I had the same mind over there, is this the legendary heart and soul a little clear?

It seems that Providence wants to fight this battle by itself, so why should I hesitate, one word - do!

In order to completely mobilize all the Japanese troops in northern China, Ma Zheng specially ordered Yang Chengwu, Huang Sicheng, Liu Fengchi, and others to set up a former enemy combat command to command the battle.

In order to fight this battle well, Ma Zheng also specially asked Wang Hansen to give Huang Yang and Huang Yang a special approval of 120 tons of ammunition as the operational needs of this battle. At the same time, Ma Zheng also asked the whole armored brigade to set off from Guisui and go south through Datong, Huairen and other places to directly attack Xinkou, which was heavily garrisoned by the First Army stationed in Shanxi, and also sent a large number of elite infantry to accompany the army.

In the Genan area, Ma Zheng ordered the reorganization of the third division to launch an attack on the Japanese puppet army entrenched in the front line of Chifeng in Tongliao, especially against the Dewang and Li Shouxin troops who fled to this area, so as to prevent their resurgence. This time, Ma Zheng was ready to take action against the eastern grasslands, and this piece of land that produced good horses was also placed under the jurisdiction of the Suicha Military Region.

At the same time, the Suicha Military Region dispatched all the troops that could be dispatched to launch a large-scale attack on the whole province of Hebei by multiple routes, with the goal of striking at the Japanese puppet army in the Pingjin area and attracting the main forces of the North China side to the front line of Zhangjiakou and Xuanhua.

According to Ma Zheng's battle plan, the Suicha Military Region will dispatch a full 120,000 troops this time to launch an attack on the Japanese army in North China on three fronts. This was the largest military operation launched by the Suicha Military Region since its formation, and almost all of the main forces of the Suicha Military Region were mobilized, except for the troops left behind in the military region.

In addition, in order to cooperate with the battle of Ma Zheng's headquarters, the Nationalist Government deliberately let the Second War Zone also launch a diversion operation in the southwest of Shanxi, and at the same time ordered 100,000 Kuomintang troops in the Zhongtiao Mountain area to also take the initiative to launch a large-scale attack on the Japanese First Army in Shanxi.

The Yan'an side sent a telegram to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, asking all units of the Eighth Route Army to conduct offensive and harassing operations in their respective defense areas and cooperate with the actions of Ma Zheng's headquarters.

As a result, with the close cooperation of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, a large-scale campaign with the Suicha Military Region as the main force is about to begin.

Naturally, the abnormal movements of the Suicha Military Region were not concealed from the reconnaissance of the Japanese army, and when Ma Zheng's headquarters began to assemble, the Japanese army's special high-tech department got the news. Aiko Sato didn't dare to slack off, and immediately reported the situation to Sugiyama Moto.

Knowing that Ma Zheng's department seemed to have made a big move again, General Sugiyama Yuan was depressed and entangled. As the former Minister of War and the current commander of the North China Front, General Sugiyama Mototo has a lot of prestige in the military, so many strategic plans and tactics are often consulted by those in the country, so Sugiyama Mototo knows a lot of things that others don't know.

As far as the current situation is concerned, it is really inappropriate to engage in a larger conflict with the Chinese people. The main reasons are as follows: First of all, with the stubborn resistance of the Chinese government and the military and civilians, Japan is overwhelmed economically; according to domestic news, although a large number of materials have been shipped back to Japan from Chinese mainland, the living standards of the domestic people are still inevitably greatly reduced, and a series of social problems and contradictions caused by this have become increasingly prominent.

Secondly, the attitudes of European and American countries, which used to have rights and interests in China, towards Japan have gradually changed. Japan, for its part, is afraid of fighting in China for a long time; Second, they were afraid of the intervention of a third country, and paid more attention to combat preparations against the Soviet Union.

The reason for this is that after the strategic offensive in Wuhan and Guangzhou is over, the base camp must be prepared to intervene in a third country in order to adapt to the long-term operation in China. Therefore, the General Staff Headquarters of the Japanese Army proposed a series of strategic adjustments, such as focusing on strengthening the deployment of troops along the Pinghan Road and the Yangtze River, ensuring transportation, and preventing the Kuomintang army from attacking from the west and south of the area.

The above plan of the Japanese General Staff Headquarters is mainly to avoid being exposed to the outside world for a long time and falling into the quagmire of war and to save national strength. Prepare for war against the intervention of a third country, so as to achieve its goal of constant internal and external aggression.

However, before this plan was implemented, a large-scale military conflict broke out between the Kwantung Army and the Soviet Union in the Nomenkan area, which caught the Japanese unexpectedly, so not long ago, the base camp sent a telegram to the North China Front, asking them to try not to have a large-scale military conflict with the Suicha Military Region and other units during this time, so as not to affect the fighting in the Nomenkan area.
