"Agree to Stalin's request and immediately prepare supplies for the past. Immediately comrades, two commanders-in-chief, I will not care about the signing of the contract, let them sign an agreement with the Soviet Union as soon as possible, and I will wait for their good news. ”

Chen Jinghui saw that Stalin finally agreed to his conditions, and knew that the Soviet Union's mobile defense line and the Mongolian defense line must be in danger of being broken through at any time, so he was in such a hurry to agree to his own conditions and let himself send troops.

After receiving Chen Jinghui's telegram, the two commanders did not delay, and they still chose Nanchang as the place where the agreement was signed, and then arrived in Nanchang the next morning.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, the two commanders-in-chief and Marshal Zhukov of the Soviet Union, under the supervision of journalists from all over the world, successfully signed the agreement. After the agreement was signed, they immediately informed Chen Jinghui of the results, and then they went their separate ways.

Originally, the two commanders wanted to talk to Chen Jinghui, but the battle situation was urgent. Since they have agreed to the conditions, it is not appropriate to delay the time themselves. So the two commanders could only give up their ideas and turn around and leave.

"The political commissar was ordered to immediately transfer supplies to Mongolia, and the Eighth Route Army was responsible for transporting them to the border between China and the Soviet Union. A telegram was sent to Stalin that three days later supplies were to be received at the border. ”

"Order the officers of all units at and above the rank of the army to immediately go to the General Headquarters to convene an emergency military meeting."

After the agreement was signed, Chen Jinghui's heart was also relaxed. Now he has only one idea, that is, to advance to the northeast, completely solve the Kwantung Army of the devils, and completely eliminate them.

"By the way, send out an invitation letter and invite Mr. Peng from the Eighth Road to attend this meeting together." Chen Jinghui said.

After receiving Chen Jinghui's order, the commanders of the various units immediately made arrangements for the troops, and then immediately got up and rushed to the general headquarters to attend a military meeting.

After receiving Chen Jinghui's telegram, Mr. Peng was very surprised. He didn't expect that the high-level military meeting of the Flying Fox would invite an outsider to attend. But since he was invited, he still had to reply, so he immediately passed this information to the commander-in-chief of Yan'an. In the end, the Yan'an headquarters decided to agree with Mr. Peng to participate in the military meeting of the flying fox.

The headquarters agreed, and Mr. Peng did not dare to delay more, knowing that Chen Jinghui was holding an urgent military meeting, which must be to discuss the matter of attacking the northeast. Therefore, he did not dare to delay, and after directly deploying the Eighth Army, he immediately got up and rushed to the Flying Fox headquarters.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the military and political chiefs of all units basically arrived, but Mr. Peng had not yet arrived.

"Wait a minute, I have to wait for someone."

Seeing everyone sitting there solemnly one by one, quietly waiting for Chen Jinghui to speak, Chen Jinghui was very embarrassed to tell him that he had arrived home, and there was still one who had not arrived.

"Hehe, I'm really sorry, I'm done, please forgive me."

Half an hour later, Mr. Peng smiled and hurriedly came to the conference room under the leadership of the guards. As soon as he entered, he apologized to everyone present.

"Mr. Peng, you are here, hurry up and do it, I'll wait for you." Chen Jinghui got up and said.

"Commander-in-Chief Peng is good." The others also stood up and saluted Mr. Peng.

"Okay, everyone, sit down. Thank you. Mr. Peng expressed his gratitude to everyone for waiting, and then did it.

"Alright, now that everyone is here, the meeting will start immediately."

After Chen Jinghui finished speaking, everyone immediately straightened their waists and looked at Chen Jinghui with two eyes.

"As you know, a few days ago, the Soviet Union's Commander-in-Chief Stalin sent their Marshal Zhukov to our China to ask for assistance, and agreed to our conditions, impermanently returned the Mongolian region, and gave us the right to use the Tyumen region of Siberia for 50 years. Not only that, but they also gave us $2 billion in money and bought a lot of weapons and equipment from us. But their condition is that we send troops to the northeast to contain the devil Kwantung Army from behind and relieve the pressure on them who cannot move the line. I agreed. So this meeting is mainly about attacking the Northeast. Next, Chief of Staff Qiang Chen will give a briefing on the current situation. Chen Jinghui introduced.

"Ladies and gentlemen, according to intelligence, the Kwantung Army in the northeast of the devil, in addition to staying in the four major cities of Jinzhou, Shenyang, Changchun, and Harbin, has a total strength of 12 divisions and 250,000 people. The rest of the place is all local troops, half of the combat strength. Now the devils have gathered 1.1 million men of the Kwantung Army to advance to the Siberian region of the Soviet Union and begin to attack the eastern defense line of the Soviet Union. And the devils of Inner Mongolia also gathered a group army including the devils and the puppet army, with a total of more than 400,000 troops, to attack the Soviet defense line of ten thousand Mongolians from the Inner Mongolia region. In addition, the Korean Peninsula, which borders the northeast, also has the deployment of 10 divisions of the devils. Among them, four Vietnamese divisions were deployed in the border areas. That's the rough picture. Chief of Staff Chen finished his introduction.

"Everybody, you've heard that. The strength of the devil's attack on the Soviet Union this time, the Kwantung Army and the army of Inner Mongolia together combined amounted to 1.5 million. Moreover, they still have nearly 500,000 garrison troops in the northeast and the Korean Peninsula, and the total offensive adds up to 2 million troops. Ladies and gentlemen, we will face 2 million elite devil troops in this battle, and it will be a tough battle, and I hope you will be prepared. Chen Jinghui said.

"Please rest assured, Commander, we will live up to our mission, defeat the Devil Kwantung Army, and recover the lost territory in the Northeast." All the soldiers of the Flying Fox immediately stood up and assured.

"Sit down, I know you have faith, and I believe in you. However, in this operation, we will definitely not be able to rely on ourselves, and we still need help, so I invited Mr. Peng, the front-line commander of the Eighth Army, to come over. Chen Jinghui said.

"Commander Chen, the commander-in-chief had already said when I came, and the Eighth Army would obey your dispatch this time." Mr. Peng said.

"Okay, thank you Commander-in-Chief Zhu, thank you Yan'an for your strong support. At the same time, I would also like to thank Mr. Peng for coming in person, thank you! Chen Jinghui stood up and bowed.

"Commander Chen is polite, recovering the lost territory is an unshirkable matter for our generation of soldiers. What's more, you have already done a lot, and the recovery of Hong Kong and Outer Mongolia is already remarkable. We are also soldiers, and it is time for us to help. Mr. Peng said.

"Alright, now I'll announce the order." Chen Jinghui said.

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately straightened their waists, including Mr. Peng. Everyone looked at Chen Jinghui intently, waiting for their battle orders.

"Order the Flying Fox's 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th armies, as well as the marines, to immediately hand over their respective defenses to the newly formed troops, and then quickly march to Shanhaiguan and assemble at Shanhaiguan, which must be assembled within three days."

"Yes"

"Order the 1st Air Force Division to stay in the Flying Fox Defense Zone, and the 2nd Air Force Division and the 3rd Air Force Division will immediately all be stationed at Beiping Airport and be ready to fight at any time."

"Yes"

"Order the Eighth Army to assemble immediately, penetrate directly into the Inner Mongolia region from the back of Shanxi, and work with the Soviet troops to form a flanking attack on the Inner Mongolian devils. The specific number of troops needed to participate in the war, Mr. Peng made adjustments according to his own judgment, and it will not be explained here. ”

"Yes"

"The battle was named the Northern Campaign. The general headquarters of the campaign was set up in Beiping, and I recognized the commander-in-chief, Mr. Peng as the deputy commander-in-chief, Chen Yi as the chief of staff, and Xu Jun as the deputy chief of staff. Comrades Chen Hu and Xu Xiangqian stayed at the garrison to prevent the sneak attack of the devil navy. Everyone and disagree. Chen Jinghui said.

"No," everyone said in unison.

"That's good, after the four armies of Flying Fox were assembled at Shanhaiguan, they immediately went out of the customs and approached Jinzhou. First Army, your task is to take Jinzhou Airport as quickly as possible; The task of the Second and Third Armies was to attack Jinzhou; The Fourth Army directly bypassed Jinzhou and established a temporary defensive line between Jinzhou and Shenyang to block the Japanese reinforcements from Shenyang. After the First Army took the airport, the Second Air Division immediately made a special field and stationed at Jinzhou Airport. Remember, in the Battle of Jinzhou, I will only give you one day to take Jinzhou for me and eat the two divisions of the devils. ”

"As for the offensive route of the Eighth Army, Mr. Peng, you decide for yourself. I have only one request, the Eighth Army must appear behind the Inner Mongolian devils three days later, that is, on the fourth day, and launch an attack on the devils in the early morning of the fifth day. Also, I have prepared 5 divisions of weapons and equipment for you, and I will take them with me when I go back. I hope you can make good use of this equipment and give me a beating devil. Chen Jinghui said.

"Yes, guaranteed to complete the mission." Everyone stood up and saluted.

"Okay, the meeting is dismissed, everyone will go back and prepare immediately, I will have your news in Beiping." Chen Jinghui announced the adjournment of the meeting, then immediately turned around and immediately took the conference room, rushed to the airport by car, and flew to Beiping.

The others were the same, they left in a hurry, returned to their respective troops, and began to dispatch troops, gather troops and rush to Shanhaiguan. In fact, Flying Fox's troops have been preparing to attack the Northeast for a long time, so they have already prepared everything. After the order was issued, they immediately handed over to each other, and then quickly assembled and rushed to Shanhaiguan.

After returning home, Mr. Peng reported Chen Jinghui's deployment of the Northern Campaign to Commander-in-Chief Zhu. After consulting with Commander-in-Chief Zhu, they decided that in this battle, all the three main forces of the Eighth Army would go up. Therefore, the 115th, 120th, and 129th Divisions quickly assembled after receiving the order and began to advance on the back of Shanxi. And Mr. Peng distributed the weapons and equipment donated by Chen Jinghui as soon as possible, and each division was equipped with tens of thousands of elite troops as the sharp knife troops of each division.

Everything was going on in an intense and orderly manner, and the progress of the various units was soon reported to the General Headquarters of the Northern Campaign in Beiping, where they were to report the progress to Chen Jinghui.
