The two sides will gather heavy troops to hunt Wuhan, and either direction may play a decisive role in the direction of the war. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThe counterattack on all fronts in the Fifth Theater also shocked the Japanese army.

As the strategic depth of the Japanese army lengthened, many Japanese generals also truly realized that it was far more difficult to annex China than they imagined. They far underestimated the decisive battle of the Chinese army and civilians in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, and how vast the territory of China was.

Although in the continuous conquest, the Japanese army obtained a lot of resources and wealth through plunder. But they have forgotten far from that in addition to resources and wealth, they also need a steady stream of troops.

Without troops to hold those occupied territories, without troops to carve out new territories, everything they have in front of them will be in vain. In contrast, at this moment, except for a few traitors, China has almost formed a situation of national resistance against Japan.

Even many people of Chinese descent overseas supported the Chinese War of Resistance in various ways. As a result, the Japanese army gradually felt the pressure and became more eager to end their campaign against China earlier.

It's a pity that with the continuous development of the war, the situation that the Japanese army's crossbow has come to an end has been seen by many people. In addition, there are many countries in the international community that do not want to see Japan dominate in Asia.

The competition for colonies has also made more and more countries hope that China can drag Japan down, so that Japan, which has not many resources, will be caught in this so-called East Asian holy war, and constantly consume Japan's stored war potential.

Although the news of the total annihilation of the 10th Division has not yet come out, it is no secret to many national intelligence organizations concerned about this war. Upon learning the news, they were shocked again.

Especially for the Soviet side, they were surprised to learn that the troops of the Eighth Route Army who were fighting in the south had once again completely annihilated a division of the Japanese army. But they all knew that the Eighth Route Army already had the strength to hold back the Japanese army invading China.

At this moment, the Soviet Union, which had begun to focus on the West, also did not want the Japanese army to drag them back. Even in the eyes of many people, the just-concluded Zhang Gufeng incident taught them a hard lesson to the arrogant Kwantung Army.

But they also knew that the strength of the Kwantung Army was no worse than that of the Far Eastern Army. The reason why they did not fight with them, and even ended the battle quickly in the end, was actually related to the fact that the situation on the battlefield in China was unfavorable to the Japanese army.

In this case, the representatives of the Eighth Route Army, who had been looking for cooperation in the Soviet Union, were quickly informed. The Soviet Union had been reluctant to sign a commercial agreement, but it was finally finalized by Stalin.

After receiving the telegram from the Soviet Union, Mao Taizu was excited and discussed with Mr. Zhu, who had returned to Yan'an: "It seems that this time, thanks to that kid for playing such a record on the front line. Otherwise, Big Brother still looks down on us! ”

This only shows that we still have a long way to go if we want to achieve the goal of liberating China. However, the commercial agreement reached this time will also play a crucial role in our future development.

When that kid left the previous time, we also discussed with him about the war between the Soviet Far East Army and the Kwantung Army. The kid said that this war would not last long, whether it was the Soviet Union or Japan, they were actually the same.

After all, they are very greedy for the Far East and want to take it for themselves. But in reality, it's our territory. It's a pity that we are still very weak now. Not to mention the Far East, even the Northeast we cannot recover.

However, this time the battle between the Soviet Far Eastern Army and the Kwantung Army ended, which also meant that the Kwantung Army was afraid that it would transfer some troops to counterattack us. It seems that in the second half of the year, we don't want to live a peaceful life. ’

Listening to what Mr. Zhu said, Mao Taizu naturally knew it. This time, the Soviet Union has always been reluctant to purchase a large number of machinery and equipment for heavy industry from the Soviet Union, as well as the aero engines mentioned by He Zhengdao earlier.

In order to be able to purchase these materials, the Eighth Route Army can also be said to have taken out the real money and silver in storage, as well as a batch of overseas free aid funds. But even so, the Soviet side still maintained a cautious attitude towards such purchases.

From this incident, Mao Taizu knew that if he didn't have strength, he wouldn't be respected. In the eyes of the Soviet Union, the team they led was just a little brother. Only when it is used can it be valued.

If they don't use it, then they don't pay too much attention to it. This is also the reason why the Soviet Union provided a large amount of military aid, but was reluctant to hand over this batch of military aid to the Eighth Route Army. Perhaps, in their opinion, the strength of the Central Army is stronger.

If the Central Army had a large number of military supplies provided by them, it might be more effective in holding back the Japanese army. Judging from the current form, the influence and combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression have made it impossible for the Soviet Union to ignore it.

'Iron also needs to be hard! If you want to be respected by others, you still have to have strength in the final analysis. Since the little devils don't want us to live in peace, let's fight them. Anyway, our team also needs to be tempered in actual combat.

According to what we have learned so far, the newly appointed commander of the Japanese North China Front has put forward a so-called cage fortress operation plan to continuously reduce the scope of our activities in the enemy-occupied areas.

In view of this situation, we must also respond accordingly. Although their trick is poisonous, they can also see that the little devil has not many troops to mobilize now. Otherwise, there is no need to use this tactic. ’

The newly appointed commander of the North China Front, Jun Tada, was honest for a while after taking office. It was only as the Eighth Route Army continued to encroach on their control area behind enemy lines, and Tada Jun also realized that he had to make a move.

However, due to the small number of troops at hand, Tada Jun finally came up with a move, which was to carry out a cage policy and carry out intensive division of the anti-Japanese base areas, which greatly reduced the room for maneuver of the Eighth Route Army, which still played a certain role.

This time, Mr. Zhu rushed to Yan'an, in fact, to discuss the formulation of relevant policies. In any case, although there are still a few resistance troops of the Central Army in the north today, it is the Eighth Route Army that is really fighting against the Japanese army.

Hearing Mao Taizu's words, Mr. Zhu also nodded and said: "Well, this trick of the little devils is really poisonous, they have vigorously implemented the public security and rectification plan in North China this time, and implemented the so-called 'railway as a pillar, highway as a chain, and bunker as a lock' cage policy."

This move has indeed played a certain destructive role in the current communication between our main divisions. However, judging from the current situation, they are afraid that this trick will not have much effect. We can even take the opportunity to expand our base areas.

It's just that as things stand, we can't get too excited about it. Therefore, for this raid campaign, my personal recommendation is to take it easy. It really pushes the little devils into a hurry, and it is still not good for the development of our base areas. ”

As a soldier, Mr. Zhu naturally hopes to regain the lost ground as soon as possible. But he also knows that North China still plays a big role for little devils. And at this moment, the Eighth Route Army could not annihilate the Japanese army with one blow.

Most importantly, the Eighth Route Army did not have air supremacy, nor did it have sea supremacy. In many cases, only the army can be relied on to achieve operational victory. I'm really going to push the little devil into a hurry, I'm afraid that the little devil will also make some crazy moves.

In addition, it can also be seen through the Zhang Gufeng incident that the current focus of the Japanese army is still on the Chinese battlefield. This meant that once there was a crisis in the situation in North China, the Kwantung Army would move south to clear the Eighth Route Army.

In that case, the whole of North China will also become a new battlefield. Although they are all wars, Mr. Zhu still hopes that such battles can be fought less. After all, in a decisive battle with the Japanese army in North China, it was the common people who suffered in the end.

If the war is stalemate, it will also be extremely disadvantageous for the Eighth Route Army, which has to rely on its own reserves of war resources. Therefore, in this attack plan, Mr. Zhu still feels that stability is the main thing.

Regarding Mr. Zhu's suggestion, Mao Taizu also agreed: "Not bad! At present, our steel factory has just been put into operation, as long as we can give us some time, I believe that our arsenal can also produce a batch of weapons and ammunition.

In these years, the war is ultimately about money and logistics. Our current strength is indeed not weak, but many materials can only be obtained in the form of seizures. We can't compare with Lao Jiang, every money has to be spent on the blade.

Regarding this raid campaign, it is better to focus on new recruits, supplemented by veterans. In terms of combat methods, guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare are still adopted. Warning our front-line troops not to attack the county towns occupied by the Japanese army lightly.

If you have the opportunity, ambush the little devil's baggage troops more, and capture more weapons, ammunition and food for the little devils. By using the method of war to feed the war, we will sabotage the enemy's policy of encirclement and suppression, and temper and beat our anti-war troops. ”

As the chairman, Mao Taizu knew very well that the main divisions currently behind enemy lines had much larger troops under their command than when they were first formed. However, many of these expanded troops are new recruits.

Having led soldiers before, he also knows the difference between a recruit and a veteran. Although it is possible to put new recruits into battle, there is a possibility of greater casualties. But in the same way, more veterans and more elite troops will be tempered.

He Zhengdao, who was commanding the battle on the front line, was concerned about the situation in the northwest and north China. But he also believed that he didn't have to worry too much about this kind of thing, and the Eighth Route Army, which was much stronger than in history, had the ability to solve these troubles.

What he wants to do now is to build the morale of the Eighth Route Army and the prestige of the Eighth Route Army on the battlefield in Wuhan. If we can, we will strive to set up the Central China Military Region within the year.

In order to achieve this, in addition to the need to repel the Japanese troops who were forcing the Dabie Mountain area, his 67th Army also needed to continue to grow and develop. At least in He Zhengdao's view, he hoped that when the Central China Military Region was formed, it would also have a main combat force of 100,000 people.

In this way, whether it is facing the Central Army or the Japanese army, the Central China Military Region will have the strength to fight a war. It is not that as soon as the military region is formed, it may face the danger of being destroyed by others! (To be continued.) )
