Chapter 213: The Light of "On Protracted War".
July 21, 1938, Yichun. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Since Xiaolu came back from Beiling, he has not left Yichun for a month and a half.
He has been studying the changes in Northeast China, Northeast Asia, and even China and Europe in Yichun, trying to choose the best course of action to get the most benefits.
The situation in the northeast, the pressure of the Soviet army in Hunchun, the Korean special forces that they photographed were in the south, and they were in the east and north, plus the base camp wanted the Kwantung Army to continue to replenish troops and transport supplies to East China, which made the situation of the Kwantung Army difficult.
The Kwantung Army suffered successive defeats, the fortress of Xingshan could not be captured for a long time, and thousands of people were eaten at Baichengzi, and the railway was cut off. Suihua, on the other hand, gathered 20,000 troops and could not find any enemies at all.
Kenkichi Ueda and Ryosuke Isoya wavered in their determination to break through the fortress of Kozan. They prepared to retreat the large forces gathered on the east and west sides of Yichun, some of them were transferred to the direction of Hunchun, some of them were transferred back to Jiamusi, and some of them were transferred back to Qiqihar, preparing to flank Baicheng. The huge number of casualties in the Heksan Fortress has already alarmed Tokyo. This was a fiasco for the Kwantung Army in China, and it was a great shame for the Imperial Army to be defeated by less.
At this time, Xiao Lu started the next step of the Great Deception Plan, and sent Han Dengying's troops to attack Qing'an before the devil army pulled back.
In the past, a lot of work was done in Qing'an and Suihua, especially through various channels to shake the military morale of the puppet army, and now, it is the harvest season.
The situation in East and Central China, as in history, is not optimistic. The Yellow River breached, creating a flood area and preventing the westward advance of the Japanese army in Central China.
The Japanese, who continued to attack westward, were about to occupy Kaifeng, Henan. Lao Chiang ordered the Yellow River embankment to be blown up at the mouth of the garden. At the beginning, the bombing was wrong and did not lead to the river. Later, I consulted relevant experts on the water conservancy of the Yellow River and blasted it at the dangerous section of Huayuankou, which was successful. The surging waters of the Yellow River flowed southward to the southeast, forming the famous Yellow Flood Area, which blocked the Japanese army.
Historically, this expert on flood control on the Yellow River has been branded as a rightist because of this. In fact, he was also wronged. He was supposed to help in the war of resistance.
The Japanese army is very modern compared to the Chinese army, and their army is equipped with automobiles, which can transport baggage, infantry artillery, and ashes back. They also had a large number of war horses, carrying heavy loads and pulling wagons for transportation.
Neither a car nor a horse-drawn carriage can pass through the floodplain area. The water depth in the Yellow Flood Area is not very deep, and most places are quagmires, and boats and vehicles cannot be driven.
The Japanese army could not cross the Yellow Flood area, so they had to attack Wuhan from the Yangtze River.
It was now the stage of the Japanese offensive, which was attacked in the area of Wuhan, Jiangxi, Jiangsu, and the Battle of Xuzhou ended in the victory of the Japanese army in mid-May.
The Battle of Wuhan has been fought so far, and the battle in Jiangxi is in full swing, and the outcome has not yet been decided. However, the Japanese army's attempt to quickly defeat China did not materialize.
Outside the war zones in various parts of the south, a large number of refugees are struggling to move to Chongqing and Hong Kong. The population of Hong Kong has increased dramatically, and the population of Chongqing has increased dramatically.
In this situation, a large amount of grain and materials from North Korea, Northeast China, and Taiwan were transported to the lower reaches of the Yangtze River by sea and land. The Japanese were very passive because of their lack of preparation, and conscription and transfer of troops were constantly carried out on the mainland.
In the Central Plains of the Yangtze River, the battle situation was not good, and it was defeated. At this time, the theory of the death of the country was very loud.
If you win, you will shout the theory of quick victory, and if you fail, you will shout the theory of the destruction of the country.
At this time, can the few victories of Xiaolu give them encouragement?
At this critical moment, a great work was born, that is, "On Protracted War".
The reason why it is a great work is that it points out the correct direction and the direction and method for a weak country to defeat a strong country. It is foreseeable that even if the Japanese do not launch the Pacific War and devote all their military strength to the Chinese battlefield, China will definitely win, but the victory will drag on for some years.
When Mao Gong began to write this book, it was in the spring of 1938, in order to warm his feet, the guards put the brazier at his feet, but he was overly involved, and the brazier burned his cotton shoes.
The whole work was written for eight or nine days. Although it was conceived for a long time, it was unprecedented to write such a book in less than ten days.
From May to June, Mao delivered a speech entitled "On Protracted War" at the Yan'an Anti-Japanese War Research Conference, which was warmly welcomed by cadres and soldiers, who vied with each other to spread rumors and start discussions.
Although history has been changed by small roads, when Mao Gong reads the information, he does not look at his own works, but focuses on the direction of history. When the Anti-Japanese War was difficult, Mao Gong just judged the situation and did not look at the historical materials on the computer, and just like history, he wrote "On Protracted War".
took out the draft, and compared with the historical documents, the people in the secret team were exactly word-for-word.
This is a shocking work, and the reaction of several people is very interesting. Chen Yunyi strongly advocated printing and went to Wuhan and Chongqing to print. Li Zongren admired it very much, and listened to Zhou Gong's introduction, and Bai Chongxi summarized "On Protracted War" into two sentences: "Accumulate small victories for big victories, and exchange space for time." ā
There are also many people who have a negative attitude, and two are very famous. One is Lao Jiang, who doesn't know what to do, and basically takes a dismissive attitude towards a work.
Another one with a negative attitude is Wang Ming. Wang Ming was in charge of the Yangtze River Bureau in Wuhan at this time, and he was very reluctant to print "On Protracted War".
Later, he also wrote a poem to mock: "400 million people are declining with fighting spirit, where does the staying power come from? Sitting and waiting for the war between Japan and the Soviet Union, the stage of three points only escaped cards. ā
After receiving this news, Xiaolu immediately printed and distributed hundreds of copies to the officers and underground parties in the whole northeast.
The Northeast is now in a difficult time.
It stands to reason that the Japanese army in the south is insufficient, and it should be an opportunity in the northeast, but the Japanese army in the northeast has not only not decreased, but has increased a lot. The increase in military strength in the south was all brought from Korea and Japan proper.
The land in Yichun and other places only had a one-year harvest in 1937, because the area was not large enough and the output was not high, and it was okay to feed the former troops, but for more than a year, a large number of people had poured in, and there was not enough food to eat. There is a lot of surplus grain in the land occupied by the localities, and if the troops are not dispersed to eat that grain, the Yichun problem will be even worse.
There are many people, there is not enough food to eat, there is also a shortage of clothes, cotton, cotton cloth.
Although the channel of communication with the Soviet Union is basically unimpeded, under the insistence of the small road, exchanges with the Soviet Union must be carried out on an equal footing. Although trade has begun, the flow of goods is not smooth and there is not enough goods. The Soviet Union wanted bulk goods, not small merchant retail goods.
In order to open up the cargo channel, the passage from Qing'an, Suihua, and Harbin to Qiqihar must be taken down.
This piece is not only the main road leading to Qiqihar, Heihe, Daxinganling and other places, but also a large plain, is an agricultural area, in the thirties, there are still many barren grasslands, woodlands, but some places have been settled and reclaimed.
Xiaolu attaches great importance to this place, as long as it strikes the Japanese and occupies this place, even if it weakens the power of the Japanese, a large number of people and their families can be arranged here without difficulty and reclaim a large amount of land in the plain. The people of the Northeast and the people of Guannai all know that the conditions for reclamation here are good, and if they don't mobilize, some people will move here.
Xiaolu has a headache in Heilongjiang, mainly because there are few people. With a small population, it is possible to open up base areas, but without ordinary people, base areas cannot survive.
This area is an agricultural area planned by the trail, not an industrial area. It is necessary to occupy the vast rural areas here, so that there will be food, people, and a future.
Because of the deception war in the previous stage, the Japanese army focused its attention on both sides of Jiamusi and Qiqihar, and in the middle, the Japanese army was insufficient, and the empty door of Harbin was wide open. Here's your chance.
In the previous paragraph, Koji orchestrated a huge scam. When a scam was exposed, when the Japanese thought that the other party's tactics were the focus of Xingshan, they suddenly had a lot of fun in the Nenjiang River Valley. Japanese troops from all over the country reinforced the Nenjiang River and defended the main artery of the railway, and the real killing of the small road came: attacking Harbin.
When this plan was proposed, almost no one was optimistic. The Yan'an bigwigs were all against it. In the end, Xiao Lu told him how to use several secret weapons, but Yan'an still disagreed, but promised him to test it, accumulate experience, and retreat immediately in case of defeat. The retreat must be prepared in advance.
When the Japanese army continued to be drawn out of Harbin, Yan'an began to feel that his Harbin plan should be realized.
After the report of the tension between the Soviet Union and the Japanese army in Hunchun was reported to Yan'an, Yan'an suddenly calmed down. After several sleepless nights, their views changed to the possibility of a victory in the assault on Harbin.
No matter how you fight, the fundamental purpose of the trail is to protect the base area of Yichun. Because of the lack of strength and population, the plan of the Great Khing'an Mountains was not realized, and the Small Khing'an Mountains could not be lost.
The agriculture under their control is very widely distributed, but there is only one industrial zone, and some light industrial products are about to see hope, and the large amount of investment in the past is about to see a return, and there must be no accidents in the base areas.
The Northeast is going to turn into a big quagmire, leaving the Japanese unable to move and helpless. It is necessary to keep the Japanese government decree out of the city.
If this time is fought, the stalemate in North China will be staged in Northeast China in advance. That is, the sphere of influence of the Japanese can only be concentrated in cities and railway roads, like a string of beads. In addition to the vast expanse, it is ours.
Of course, Xiaoji has the next step, which is to make the Japanese forget their own existence, concentrate on dealing with the Soviet Union, launch the Battle of Nomenkan, and obtain greater benefits in Nomenkan himself.
Can it be done? Will the Japanese concentrate on destroying themselves first and competing with the Soviet Union in the future? If Japan did not compete with the Soviet Union, then the idea of gaining benefits from the Battle of Nomenkan, which it had planned for a long time, would be in vain.
The Battle of Nomenkan, it was a fascinating battle.
Only to plan the next city strategic deception. Can it be done? There are always more solutions than difficulties.
Xiao Lu took Yan'an's telegram and issued an order to the front line of Qing'an: start acting.
