Yan'an Electric: Approve the plan. The order will be executed immediately.
Yan'an decided to liberate the whole northeast first, first in the south and then in the north.
Yan'an's decision was risky, and it was extremely risky. The risk is that, first, the Japanese army in Hebei may move north to flank the attack. Yan'an's plan was for Hebei's Eighth Route Army to move simultaneously, hold off the Japanese army, and liberate several areas of Hebei.
The second risk is that the Japanese troops in Vladivostok and other places will enter the northeast. Regarding this point, Yan'an believes that it is difficult for the Japanese army to draw out military strength to advance into the northeast. Don't be afraid to abandon the territory, the important thing is to destroy the Japanese army.
At present, most of the Japanese troops in Vladivostok and Boli have been transferred to Siberia, and many of the troops in North China have been transferred to Nanyang, and neither of them can afford to mobilize troops to the northeast.
In the past year, the production capacity of Northeast China has grown by leaps and bounds, especially Harbin and other places have been restored, a large number of workers have arrived, a large number of factories and equipment have been in hand, a large number of factories have been fully operational, and military materials have been rapidly transported to various parts of Northeast China.
By now, the opportunity for a counteroffensive is ripe.
The first battle was Dalian. Dalian's sea route. As soon as the sea route was broken, the gate to the northeast was closed. Jinzhou has been taken. If Dalian is taken, then the gates of the northeast will be closed.
The battle plan approved by Yan'an was to operate in Dalian, cut off the sea route, and pass the gate. Then they captured Yingkou and completely blocked the road for Dalian to flee. The second step was to attack Anshan, seize the steel base, and quickly resume production. The third part is a decisive battle with the Japanese army in the south of Shenyang. After the victory of the decisive battle, he captured Shenyang, Changchun, Jilin City and other places in the northeast, and then liberated the northeast.
After that, the troops in the northeast were divided into two lines, north China in the south and Vladivostok in the north.
The entire campaign began in early June, and we strive to complete this great campaign in a year to a year and a half. This plan, to put it mildly, is an ambitious plan, and to put it mildly, it is a great and aggressive plan.
An order was transmitted from southern Liaoning to Dalian, ordering Dalian to start moving.
June 6, 1942, night, Dalian.
Dalian Port was the first military port, and it was the Beiyang Navy Division Military Port that began to be selected and built in 1980, and the port was located in Dalian Bay, which was the address selected by Li Hongzhang. The Sino-Japanese War of 1894 was a year of complete turning point in the history of Dalian Port. On September 17, the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle began, the Beiyang Navy was defeated, and by November 21, the Japanese army occupied the entire Luda area and slaughtered the city in Lushun for four days and nights.
On April 17, 1895, Li Hongzhang and Japanese Prime Minister Ito Hirobumi signed the Treaty of Shimonoseki, which stipulated that China would withdraw its troops from the Korean Peninsula and recognize Korea's "independent independence"; China is no longer the suzerainty of Korea; China ceded the island of Taiwan and all its affiliated islands, the Penghu Islands and the Liaodong Peninsula to Japan; China compensated Japan with 200 million taels of military spending; The Japanese were allowed to set up consulates and factories in China's treaty ports and import various machinery.
This huge amount of reparations is equivalent to more than three times Japan's annual income, and 85 percent of it is used by the Japanese government for military spending.
On April 23, six days after the signing of the Treaty of Shimonoseki, Russia, Germany, and France offered friendly advice to force Japan to return Liaodong to China. On October 19, Japan reached an agreement with the three powers: the Liaodong Peninsula would be returned to China, and the Qing court would pay 30 million taels of silver as a ransom. On November 16, the Japanese troops were completely withdrawn from the Luda area.
On December 17, 1897, under the command of Rear Admiral Unov, five Russian warships broke into the Port of Arthur. On March 27 of the following year, on behalf of the Qing government, Li Hongzhang signed the "Luda Land Lease Treaty" with Russia, with a lease period of 25 years.
Since then, the port of Dalian has changed hands again and has been occupied by Tsarist Russia. On August 16, 1899, the Tsarist government promulgated the "Provisional Rules for the Rule of Kwantung Continent", named the Dalian region as the municipality of Dalini, and established the Kwantung Governor's Office in Lushun.
The large-scale construction of the port of Dalian began on September 28 of the same year, and the first phase of the project was completed at the end of 1902. By the eve of the Russo-Japanese War in February 1904, Dalini had a population of 42,500.
In January 1905, the Russo-Japanese War ended, and the Russian army surrendered to the Japanese army; On February 11, the Japanese army announced the abolition of "Dalini" and renamed it the city of Dalian.
Since then, Dalian has become a wound for Japan to suck Chinese blood, and the materials plundered by Japan are basically loaded and transported into Japan from here. Most of the troops and cheap products shipped from Japan also came to China from here.
From the time of the Japanese army's special exercise to the present, Dalian Port has absorbed a large number of Japanese troops. The elite departed, and the recruits marched in. Later, the elite troops of the North China Army left.
Beginning in 1941, Japanese warships stationed in Dalian returned to Japan one after another. Japanese Communist Party member Nakanishi Ko was passing through Dalian at that time, and based on this information, it was determined that the Japanese army was going to launch a naval battle.
As Nakanishi observed, Japanese warships and freighters had been sailing from Dalian to transport a large number of troops and supplies from the northeast to the Japanese mainland.
The Soviet side got the information of Zhongxi Gong and copied it to Yan'an, which caused controversy in Yan'an, and many people believed that it was not logical for the Japanese army to increase troops in the northeast and transport army supplies from the northeast in large quantities since the Guan special exercise.
Later, Dalian intelligence explained this doubt. The Japanese troop movement was a two-way street, bringing in new recruits and bringing away veterans.
It was a relatively calm night.
At the beginning of June, five cargo ships came from Japan, and the cargo ships were 5,000-ton large mixed ships. There were also several cargo ships of 3,000 tons, loaded with coal ore.
Two 7,000-ton ships brought metal ingots from Shandong to Dalian and returned to Japan with these ships. Aluminum is an important material for the manufacture of aircraft, and the Japanese discovered the metal in Shandong, and after successful mining and smelting, the finished aluminum ingots are transported to Japan and manufactured into aircraft parts at various factories in Japan.
Now, the two old warships escorting the escort have been resupplied and are all ready, just waiting for tomorrow's departure.
There were electric lights in the harbor, the lights were dim, and the Japanese soldiers patrolling the harbor patrolled back and forth, and the sea was calm.
If you look closely, there are shadows on the surface of the sea swimming towards cargo ships and warships. Soon, the shadows were under the ship. The shadows came to a halt with their hands on the hull, and then several toad cries rang out.
Toads in the seawater, fresh, right? Who has ever seen a toad in the sea!
Soon, the rope came down from the side of the boat, until it reached the surface of the water, and the black shadows in the water pulled the rope, and one by one they were agile and climbed onto the boat. When they arrived at the boat, they could be seen carrying long bags and wearing the short clothes worn by fishermen.
There were several men on the side of the ship, and they made a gesture, and one of them led the people on board into the cabin.
Within ten minutes, hundreds of people were gone, scattered into several ships, and the cargo ship returned to calm.
The warships were not high, and there were more people on each ship, one hundred and ten people.
Silence returned to the port again, and at this time, the patrolling Japanese troops came back.
On the morning of 7 June, warships and cargo ships left the port of Dalian, and more than a dozen large ships, under the protection of two warships, one in front and one in the back, left the port of Dalian and headed for Japan.
In Dalian at the beginning of June, it was already very warm on land, and it was cool in the morning and evening. The weather today is cool, there are some thin clouds in the sky, and those who are experienced know that there will be wind and rain after this afternoon, and the weather will be very bad, and small boats are not suitable to go to sea.
After about an hour, Dalian behind him could no longer see clearly, surrounded by a vast sea in the distance.
A Japanese sailor finished his homework, left his post, and was about to go back to the cabin to rest, and walked up to the deck, where he vaguely saw a figure. Strange, what people? The ship's cargo crew is below and should not come up.
The sailor walked to the front and said, "Who?" ”
The figure flashed out, and it turned out to be a man dressed in the clothes of the people. The sailor was shocked and said, "Who are you?" ”
The man kicked the sailor in the heart, and the sailor fell to the ground on his back. The figure took a step forward and put one foot on its neck, only to hear the click of its neck. Then he threw himself up, lifted the sailor, and threw it out. With a plop, the sailor entered the water, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
On the warship, an engineer finished eating, went to the engine room to be on duty, conducted a routine inspection of the machine, and after entering the ship's hold, passed through several hatches, entered the engine room, and the rumbling sound was heard.
Entering the cabin, he shouted, "Yamada, why haven't you rested?" I'm Akita. It's time for my class. You go to rest. Yamada, Yamada! ”
As he shouted, a hand came out from behind the pipe behind him and covered his mouth, and two guns were pressed against his waist.
Akita saw a few people, and then, only to feel a heavy blow to the back of the head, and then fainted.
Several figures gathered on the deck, and now, these people have suffered from military uniforms, which are the uniforms of the Northeast Coalition Navy.
One of the fighters said: "Commissar, do you want to act?" "Who is this commissar? Zhang Xuesi, Zhang Xueliang's younger brother.
This time, Zhang Xuesi used his connections on the dock and the intelligence of the Dalian underground party to learn that the fleet escorted by two warships was leaving Dalian and returning to Japan. Because there are not many soldiers in Shanghai on the warship, they can use the pirate tactics of Mr. Lu, and people sneak onto the warship and kill people to seize the ship after the warship leaves Dalian Port.
So, they demanded that the campaign begin immediately. It was on the basis of this situation that Yan'an determined the start time of the campaign.
This time, he organized less than five hundred people, including combat teams, sailors, captains, and crews, to sneak into the Dalian dock. Other units in the Dalian area were also prepared in various places and fully cooperated in the capture of this fleet.
In addition, he organized several units to make a big noise in the vicinity of Dalian to attract some Japanese troops out of the city, and in addition, he organized urban guerrillas to wreak havoc in several places in Dalian to attract the Dalian police to leave the vicinity of the docks.
Because these two movements were a bit louder, the Dalian authorities were anxious and wanted to strengthen the guards at the wharf, but they had no troops to adjust.
Now, the time has come and the action begins.
