The Japanese army suddenly landed in Qinzhou Bay and captured Fangcheng and Qingu, which stunned Chiang Kai-shek.

Seeing that Nanning was in danger, Chiang Kai-shek strictly ordered Bai Chongxi, the director of the Guilin camp and a first-class general, to adjust the deployment of the 16th Group Army to ensure that it was not lost, and asked Chen Cheng, Zhang Zhizhong, and Li Jishen to rush to the front line to supervise the battle, while urgently transferring the Fifth Army, the 36th Army, and the 99th Army to reinforce Guinan, and concentrate on Nanning, Yishan, and Liuzhou.

As for the conflict between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, Chiang Kai-shek no longer had the intention of entangling Shaanxi, and he was anxious to transfer troops from the front, so he instructed Zhang Qun to make an appointment to meet Zhou Enlai, to stop the illegal expansion of the armed forces, the illegal construction of political power, not to destroy the anti-Japanese "people" main united front, and not to launch attacks on the first line of Tongguan and the first line of Qinling. It's tantamount to a rake!

Anyway, Chiang Kai-shek is going to sit down and negotiate with **.

It is a pity that the Japanese army moved by plan, and Chiang Kai-shek and Bai Chongxi responded passively, and without waiting for Chiang Kai-shek's adjustment in place, the Japanese army crossed the Yijiang River in only two days, defeated the defenders of Nanning, and captured Nanning.

After the capture of Nanning, Lieutenant General Toshiyoshi Ando, commander of the 21st Army, who was personally on the front line, ordered the Taiwan Mixed Brigade to be responsible for guarding the Baoqin Highway, setting up a military station base in Qinxian County, handing over the operational command of Nanning to Lieutenant General Jun Imamura, commander of the 5th Division, and leading the army headquarters to return home to Guangzhou.

The Fifth Division is an offensive mechanized unit with fast movement and strong combat effectiveness.

With the support of the aircraft, Imamura sent the Guards Mixed Brigade and the Fifth Cavalry Wing to pursue the [Zhong] ** team along the highway to Binyang through Kunlun Pass and the road to Wuming through Gaofeng Pass, and occupied Gaofeng Pass and Kunlun Pass successively. Imamura sent a wing from the 9th Brigade to break through to Zhennanguan and Longzhou. At this point, the Japanese army launched the battle of Guinan to achieve the expected goal, Imamura Jun ordered to leave a brigade to garrison Kunlun Pass, the main force to return to Nanning, and ordered the Japanese naval aviation to prepare to use Nanning as a base to bomb the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway and the Yunnan-Burma Highway, and completely cut off the international communication line in the southwest of China.

Due to Chiang Kai-shek's attack on Shaanxi, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party became hostile, and the Military Commission did not report the battle report of the Guinan Campaign to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army. It was not until the Japanese army announced the results of the capture of Nanning that Liu Yimin knew that the Battle of Guinan still took place, although it was a month later than in history.

At this time, Chiang Kai-shek was busy dispatching troops to prepare to recapture Nanning, and he naturally saw this very clearly with the strategic vision of the "Lord". Mr. Peng is also ambitious, and he asked to mobilize troops from Shanxi and Shanji again to eliminate the ** troops entrenched in the Qinling Mountains in one fell swoop, at least to defeat them, recapture Hanzhong, Shangluo, northern Sichuan, and Longnan, and drive the troops of the first theater entrenched on the front line of Tongguan back to the starting position in the Lingbao area.

To tell the truth, at this time, Chiang Kai-shek was reckless, and if our army counterattacked with all his might, it was certain that he would regain the lost territory. However, out of consideration for the overall situation, the "Chairman" did not agree to President Peng's plan, but instructed Deputy Chairman Zhou and Dong Biwu to negotiate with Zhang Qun on the condition that the Kuomintang must withdraw from Hanzhong, Sichuanbei, Longnan, Naluo, and Tongguan.

This condition is difficult to negotiate, and the bottom line of the central government's research is to give up northern Sichuan and Longnan if necessary, but Hanzhong and Shangluo must be withdrawn.

The final result was beyond everyone's expectations, there was no progress at the negotiating table, but ** quietly withdrew, our army took advantage of the situation to recover Hanzhong, Shangluo, Tongguan, while northern Sichuan and Longnan were still in the hands of **, and our army also correspondingly withdrew from the guerrilla political organs and local armed forces in these two areas.

The KMT and the CCP were not satisfied with this result, but they had to compromise with each other. Chiang Kai-shek was to deal with the Japanese offensive in southern Guinan, and had no time to further develop the war in Shaanxi: ** On the other hand, it was difficult to attack the ** stable defense line, and besides, he couldn't take advantage of the Japanese raid on Guinan to fight with Chiang Kai-shek, right? Chiang Kai-shek can do that, we can't do that.

The first **** launched by Chiang Kai-shek ended for the time being. Chiang Kai-shek was busy taking concubines in Nanning, busy consolidating the occupation of northern Sichuan and Longnan, and busy replenishing and recuperating the troops that had suffered defeat on the Xi'an front. Head. hair

The Eighth Route Army was also not comfortable, most of the Shandong base area was occupied by the Japanese army, the Shanxi base area was frantically swept by the Japanese army, and it shrank significantly, Shaanxi lost northern Sichuan and Longnan, and the Shandong troops, Shanxi troops, and Shaanxi troops suffered relatively large losses, and they could only slowly tiǎn wounds.

Knowing that the Battle of Guinan broke out, Liu Yimin thought of the bloody battle of Kunlun Pass that was about to break out, and the blood of the ** people in the middle was about to stain the southern sky. He knew in his heart that although the Japanese army launched a little late, Chiang Kai-shek was focused on attacking Xi'an, and Guinan's defense knew that it was extremely empty without asking, otherwise he would not have been caught off guard by the Japanese army. Next, it must be exactly the same as in history, Chiang Kai-shek mobilized hundreds of planes and hundreds of thousands of troops to capture Kunlun Pass and Nanning, a large group of Japanese troops held Kunlun Pass, and the Fifth Army made every effort to capture Kunlun Pass, which had treacherous terrain, and achieved a great victory at Kunlun Pass. However, the 250,000 troops of the ** team failed to take advantage of the victory to recover Nanning.

The Japanese army mobilized reinforcements to counterattack aggressively, and adopted a roundabout approach to a decisive battle in Binyang, Chiang Kai-shek and Bai Chongxi's command errors led to an unfavorable battle situation, and the ** team had to give up Kunlun Pass again, and the Japanese army took advantage of the situation to occupy Binyang and Wuming, and once again staged a farce of total collapse. In the end, Chiang Kai-shek convened a review meeting of the Battle of Guinan in Liuzhou, investigated responsibility, demoted Bai Chongxi, who was in charge of command, and Chen Cheng, who supervised the war, from first-class generals to second-class generals, removed Ye Zhao, commander of the 37th Group Army, Xu Tingyao of the 38th Group Army, and a group of army commanders and division commanders from their posts for investigation and prosecution, and also revoked the Guilin camp and the numbers of the 37th Group Army and the 38th Group Army, and transferred the defense of Guinan to the Fourth Theater.

The headquarters of the commander of the 4th theater was moved to Liuzhou.

It is useless to know history, the whip is beyond reach, and because Chiang Kai-shek launched ****, many things have become sensitive, even if Liu Yimin gives him one or two, Chiang Kai-shek may not listen, and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army may not forward this kind of telegram to him as before, and it will be misunderstood by party comrades. The blood of so many martyrs is not cold yet! What Liu Yimin could do was to get a good grasp of restoring the base areas in Shandong and restore the combat effectiveness of the units that had been seriously damaged by the heavy Japanese army.

Now, due to the support for the Battle of Guinan and the First Army's sweep of the Shanxi base area, the strength of the Japanese army in Shandong has also been significantly reduced. Following the withdrawal of the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 23rd, and 24th divisions of the Kwantung Army to the northeast, the 6th and 15th Divisions of the Japanese Army and the 22nd Division, which had been stationed on Pinghan Road for a long time, were returned to the 11th Army and the 13th Army respectively.

The 38th Division, which remained in southwest Lu and whose main force was annihilated, also left southwest Lu, and the Japanese army drew troops from the supplementary teams of several divisions and regiments, perfected the structure of the 38th Division, and transferred it to the 21st Army to undertake the defense of the Foshan area. In this way, the 11th Division and the 5th Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army were left behind on the Pinghan Line, the 11th Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army stationed in southern Hebei, and the 37th Division held the Deshi Road and made every effort to organize the construction of the Deshi Railway to support the southern Hebei and central Hebei and Pinghan Line operations: the Central Hebei region was still the rebuilt 35th Division, and the 110th Division also ended the sweep of the Hebei and Lu borders and returned to the Pingjin area, and the 40th Division commanded the independent mixed formation.

The 20th and 21st Brigades were stationed in the northwestern part of Shandong, the 41st Division was stationed in the western part of the country, and the 7th Brigade was stationed in the southwestern part of the country. The Jiaodong area was still garrisoned by the 28th Division.

This time, Tada Jun was determined to implement his strategy of driving the tiger into the cage, mobilizing the 1st Guards Division,

The 2nd Guards Division, the 9th Division, the 12th Division, the 27th Division, the 114th Division, the 29th Division, the 32nd Division, and the 36th Division, a total of nine divisions and regiments, as well as the 16th, 17th, 18th, and 22nd Brigades, and the Fourth Brother Independent Mixed Brigade and Manchuria, marched and relied on the Jiaoji Road, Jinpu Road, and Longhai Road to tightly surround the mountainous areas of central and southern Lu, and then they were busy, Ding, Ding

The pseudo-security regiment and the pseudo-police investigation center began to implement his cage policy. All units of the North China Public Security Army were driven to the battlefield by the Japanese army, and cooperated with the Japanese army to sweep away the occupied areas.

In the later stage of the Battle of Guinan, in order to counterattack, the Japanese army transferred the 1st Guards Division and the 6th Division of Central China to Guinan to participate in the counteroffensive operations, and then transferred the 2nd Guards Division back to Japan.

The Japanese army's net had already been opened, and Liu Yimin's headquarters in central and southern Lu saw that it had become a fish in the net. As long as the fortifications of the Japanese blockade line are completed, they can launch a sweep at any time.

Both the base camp and Tada Jun tasted the sweetness from the strategy of driving the tiger into the cage, trapping Liu Yi's main force, and the battle was easy to fight, and the progress of the Japanese army in various places was relatively smooth.

During the Battle of Guinan, Lou gave birth to three Dafeng.

A major event was the collapse of the Nobuyuki Abe cabinet and the rise of the Mitsumasa Yonechi cabinet. After Nobuyuki Abe came to power, he continued to implement the policy of using China to contain China, and vigorously supported Wang Jingwei in forming a puppet regime. However, diplomatic relations with the United States gradually became strained, and the Americans had no intention of re-signing the Japan-US trade treaty. Moreover, the domestic economy was deteriorating day by day, and Nobuyuki Abe had no choice but to carry out official reforms, limit the price of rice, and make prices soar back and forth, and in the end, even the parliament began to collapse. Nobuyuki Abe, who was in trouble both internally and externally, wanted to rely on the army to dissolve the parliament and maintain his rule, but the land minister Shunroku Yanyan clearly told him that he should step down. In this way, Senior General Nobuyuki Abe, who was raised to the prime minister's throne by the army, only served as prime minister for only four and a half months, and was thrown from the throne by the army. He was succeeded by Admiral Mitsumasa Mine, who was resolutely opposed to the alliance with Germany and Italy.

The second major event was that the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army launched the Battle of Loess Ridge and killed Abe Norihide, who was known as an expert in mountain warfare.

Unlike in history, the cause of this Battle of Loess Ridge was that Chiang Kai-shek's attack on Shaanxi gave the Japanese North China Front a glimpse of the fighters, strengthened the strength of the First Army, and launched a frantic sweep against the base areas in Shanxi. The 26th Division of the Méng Army and the rebuilt Second Brigade of the Abe Norihide Independent Mixed Brigade were also ordered to sweep Dàng Jinchaji in an attempt to completely destroy the base area of the Eighth Route Army.

At this time, the 115th Division transferred a part of its troops back to Shaanxi, and Lin Nie led the main force on the way back from western Liaoning. When the main forces of Lin and Nie rushed back from Liaoxi, ** stared at the Abe Brigade at a glance, determined to annihilate it in one fell swoop.

The Sichuan 5th Division is the main force of the main force of our army, the seed troops. Lin and Nie Gang fished a lot of money from Liaoxi, made a lot of money, and got supplies for the Battle of Shimen, which was equivalent to the tiger's spirit. In the words of **, that is, Chiang Kai-shek, Yan Xishan and the Japanese puppets joined forces to fight the Eighth Route Army, and if they don't teach them a lesson, these guys don't know that there is a steel army on this battlefield that can't be defeated or dragged down!

Historically, the Battle of Loess Ridge was commanded by Nie Rongzhen and Yang Chengwu, and our army participated in the battle with 6,000 troops

People, support fire is also mortars. The Abe Norihide Brigade only dispatched three infantry brigades, and the first infantry brigade was ambushed by the Eighth Route Army in the Yansu Cliff Gorge and fled back with 13 soldiers. Annoyed and angry, Abe Guixiu personally led the second and fourth brigades of 1,500 people to retaliate, and fell into the encirclement of our army in the Loess Ridge area, which had already laid an ambush circle. After our army annihilated more than 900 Japanese troops, in view of the arrival of Japanese reinforcements, they took the initiative to withdraw from the battle.

This time, Abe Norihide dispatched five infantry brigades, artillery, and engineers, with a total strength of 4,500 troops.

The strength of our army also greatly exceeded the number of troops participating in the war in history, **, Nie Rongzhen personally commanded, mobilized the artillery regiment supported by the instructor, and surrounded the Abe brigade to the death in the area of Loess Ridge. This was followed by a general offensive on all fronts, without giving the Japanese army any chance. The Abe Brigade was wiped out in ashes, not even a single signal corps could escape, and Abe Norihide himself was blown into several pieces by the shells of the Eighth Route Army. The newspaper lamented that "the huā of the famous generals withered on the Taihang Mountain".

This was the biggest victory achieved by the 115th Division since it went north to resist Japan, and it formed and eliminated a brigade of the Japanese army. **, Zhu De, and Zhou Enlai were in an unusually moving mood, and sent telegrams from Xi'an, Chongqing, and Taihang Lou respectively to congratulate the heroic Red First Army on its victory in Loess Ridge. **'s telegram even said: "The battle of Loess Ridge proves that the strength of our first army has improved rapidly, and it is fully capable of destroying one wing and brigade of the Japanese army at a time." We should continue to work hard, learn from the Shandong troops, combine guerrilla warfare with mobile warfare, and strive to defeat one or two more brigades and regiments of the Japanese army within this year.

** Immediately called back to the "Chief", saying that the 115th Division is now a huge force, but due to the rapid expansion of the army, the combat effectiveness of the troops has been diluted. In the next step, it is necessary to concentrate efforts on strengthening the regularization of the troops, especially the building of artillery and engineers. If possible, it is proposed to form a second artillery regiment to increase the strength and firepower of the fortified fortification. Without powerful artillery fire, it is impossible to carry out a large corps operation. Especially when encountering the elite divisions of the Japanese army, they could not gnaw hard bones, and the casualties were only increased.

The main seat was extremely quick to express his position, and called back to say that compared with our army in Shandong, the equipment of the Red First Army was greatly backward, which affected the operation. After our army in Shandong has completely defeated the encirclement and suppression of the Japanese army, it is planned to transfer additional artillery, air defense troops, and engineers from Shandong to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the 1st Red Army.

Although the Red First Army has long been reorganized into the 115th Division, in the minds of the "Chief" and the boss, this unit is still the Red First Army they brought out and is based on the Great Wall.

Liu Yimin was ecstatic after receiving the good news. He knew that the total annihilation of the Abe Brigade and the ambush of the heavily damaged Abe Brigade were not the same concept at all. Historically, our army used ambush tactics to completely annihilate the two brigades of the Abe Brigade at Loess Ridge, and suffered heavy casualties, and finally had to withdraw from the battle before the Japanese reinforcements arrived. The main reason for this result is that our army is a lightly equipped unit and lacks heavy artillery support. Now, the Sichuan 5th Division has an artillery regiment and has been put into actual combat, which proves that the 115th Division has begun to rise from the decline in combat effectiveness caused by the great expansion of the army some time ago. Next, this heroic army may soon bloom with dazzling results. The little devil is still behind when he is unlucky!

Liu Yimin and Luo Ronghuan sent a telegram to Beibei and Nie, saying that the battle of Loess Ridge had played the prestige of our army's first-class main force. Abe Norihide didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was thick, and he dared to become an expert in mountain warfare in front of our army, which was simply ridiculous and generous.

The third thing is that after New Year's Day, when the "Japan-US Treaty of Commerce and Navigation" expired, the United States ignored Japan's repeated requests and refused to renew the "Japan-US Treaty of Commerce and Navigation" with Japan. This is tantamount to the United States imposing a comprehensive embargo on Japan. Liu Yimin was so happy that he wrote an article entitled "The Dawn of Victory in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in China", which was published in the "Dazhong Daily".

In the article, Liu Yimin analyzed the significance of the suspension of the "Japan-US Treaty of Commerce and Navigation", and pointed out that the abolition of the treaty has cut off the most important foreign trade import channel of Japan, which is equivalent to putting a rope on the neck of the Japanese invader, and the little devil has been put on the gallows, leaving only the remnants of the Yanyan.

Liu Yimin said: The suspension of the "Japan-US Treaty of Commerce and Navigation" is a strong support from the United States for China's just War of Resistance Against Japan. Without the crude oil, steel, rubber, aircraft, and parts imported from the United States, the small number of war material reserves of the little devils could not sustain the war at all. In the future, the warships, planes, tanks, and cars of the little devils will be paralyzed, and there will be no steel to support their military enterprises. No matter how hard the little devils fight in China, no matter how much territory they occupy, they can't find the oil and rubber they urgently need, and the steel is also very limited. In this way, the little devil will either bow his head and admit defeat, obediently get out of the [China] country, and compensate the "China" country for the war losses. Either continue to expand the aggression and look for oil and rubber. If it is the latter, the little devil will be completely dragged into the mud pit of war until destruction.

Dear book friends: Shanren was on a business trip in Zhengzhou, and last night he was late because he was busy with updates, which led to the collapse of his dream of earning a 500 yuan attendance award for a month. I'm depressed! Today, only 15,000 words can be written to recoup the loss. It's a pity that the mountain man has to go home in the afternoon, and I don't know if he can write enough 10,000 words in the evening. Thank you!!.
