Chapter 280 The Yan and Huang troops are under the city of Nanjing
During the period, he personally went to Moscow and met Stalin with his identity, and some of the things he brought made Stalin very interested, such as the current fighters of the Yan and Huang Army, and the technology that the Soviet Union did not have on the tanks, which was very military for Stalin, who immediately reached a lot of consensus with Wei Chendong, such as the cooperation between the two sides to develop second-generation tanks, fighters, etc., with this opportunity, Wei Chendong decided to make good use of the strong industrial level of the Soviet Union, and Stalin also promised to provide at least 5 million tons of steel and other minerals needed by the Great Northwest every year, and in addition, Wei Chendong also reached cooperation with Stalin in oil and other fields.
Stalin also personally accompanied Wei Chendong to visit many large factories in Moscow, Wei Chendong praised the Soviet people's high production efficiency and exquisite technology, so that Stalin listened to the great feeling, he immediately asked the Soviet factory to help produce some processed parts and other products, Stalin was naturally not stupid, he knew that when Wei Chendong proposed to visit the big factories in Moscow, it was with this idea, since so many cooperation has been reached, he does not care about this, and this is not harmful to the Soviet Union. Having asked for some benefits, Stalin readily agreed.
Returning from Moscow, Wei Chendong was very satisfied with this trip, not to mention other aspects, in the future, the product productivity of the Yanhuang Army's military industry will be at least doubled, which is very important for the improvement of the overall strength of the Yanhuang Army.
During this period, the Yue army, who was not willing to be lonely, also launched a fierce attack on the positions of the Yan and Huang Army in the northeast and north China, but under the united resistance of our army and people, they gained nothing.
He tried to encourage Britain and the United States and other countries to unite to drive the Yan and Huang Army away, and then divide the interests equally, but these guys are not fools, knowing that Xiao Yue originally wanted to provoke them to fight against the Yan and Huang Army, so they passed the buck to each other, after all, if they knew, the Northeast used to be the Soviet Union, so many forces went deep into it at once, and it was strange that the Soviets did not go crazy, and when the time came, they were forced to unite with the Yan and Huang Army, and they might not know who would die.
Knowing that relying on external forces is ineffective, he said that he put his hope on himself, military spending continued to increase the budget, the size of the army quickly swelled, and he was ready to wait for the Kuomintang and the Communist Party to fight to a critical moment, and seize the whole of China with lightning speed The Yan and Huang Army did not get involved, because the Yan and Huang Army has been secretly squeezed out by the national political axe, so there are not many areas in China at present, mainly in Gansu, Qinghai, Ningxia and Xinjiang Province, and then Jilin, Heilongjiang, Inner Mongolia, and North China, Central China, They have almost nothing to do with South China and other vast areas, which is undoubtedly a very large cake for Yue himself.
Wei Chendong knew the ambitions of this gang of fascists, he secretly ordered a substantial increase in military spending, and the number of troops should also increase by one million within a year, and at the same time, he continued to expand the areas controlled by the Yan and Huang Army, and sent troops to Xinjiang Province, Ningxia and other areas where the national political axe control was weak, because he expected that the national political axe would not dare to risk fighting with the communist army and the Yan and Huang army on two fronts at the moment, and he only sent troops to control some areas with mineral deposits, and would not directly attack the local Kuomintang troops, In this way, Lao Jiang can also accept it.
Sure enough, when the Yan and Huang Army occupied many locations designated by Wei Chendong, the Nationalist Axe publicly protested, but the Yanhuang Army only made a verbal justification, and did not intend to withdraw the army, and the Nationalist Axe finally did not have the confidence to fight with the Yanhuang Army at such a moment, and the matter was over.
With more resources in hand, Wei Chendong also increased his development efforts, and even sent troops to directly increase production, and what he couldn't use was exported to other countries. The United States, which puts interests first, first extended an olive branch to the Great Northwest, and Wei Chendong was not too pretentious, and reached cooperation with the United States on grain, minerals, and so on.
Britain and other countries have also followed suit, and the internationalization of the Great Northwest has slowly opened, which makes me and the National Political Axe worried, but fortunately, these countries have little cooperation with the Great Northwest in the military field, mainly economic and trade, and in the current attitude towards China, they still support the National Political Axe as always, and the investment is immediately much larger, and even from time to time there are some skirmishes with the Yan and Huang Army, this is politics, shooting each other in the back, smiling face to face, in fact, I can't wait for the other party to play immediately, For this set, after so many years of hard work, Wei Chendong can also play around, the yin behind the yin people, and when it is time to pretend to be coy, he has also pretended to express it, and this state has been maintained for more than a year.
In the second half of 1939, Wei Chendong began to speed up his preparations.
In early July, Wei Chendong ordered Chen Bingnan to be the commander-in-chief of the Yan and Huang Army's Northeast Resistance, return to Gansu by himself, and transfer Wu Dingbang back from Anhui, and then reorganize 300,000 troops by himself, and under the premise of [***] promise, he entered Henan through Shaanxi, which is still controlled by the Kuomintang.
Wei Chendong made a public speech, saying that the Yan and Huang Army went out of the northwest only to resist and not participate in the struggle between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, but if any side stopped the Yan and Huang Army from expelling the Tartars, it would be irresponsible to the country and the people, and the Yan and Huang Army claimed to be the people's army, and everything was people-oriented, so there would be no tolerance for any enemy who dared to defy the condemnation of the world, and would do whatever it takes.
After the notice was completed, Wei Chendong immediately arranged for an armored division with 500 tanks to start and go all the way to Nanjing and Shanghai.
For Wei Chendong's actions in such a blind eye, the national political axe was naturally annoyed, but now it is fighting with [***] in Hunan and Jiangxi, if he falls out with the Yan Huang Army at this time, and someone stabs him in the back, it will be really a big deal, so in desperation, he had to endure this breath and ordered [***] to let him leave by the way under the premise that the Yan and Huang Army did not take the initiative to attack.
Wei Chendong personally came with hundreds of thousands of Yan and Huang troops, which made the whole world shocked, this Yan and Huang army's hand is too big, 500 tanks of all kinds, it is said that there are no less than 800 aircraft of all kinds, and more than 600 artillery pieces of all kinds...... Until Wei Chendong and Chen soldiers in southern Anhui, the base camp had not come up with a practical plan to deal with the battle, because all this was too much beyond their expectations, could it be that they used the power of the entire Great Northwest to recover Central China?
However, their own fantasy was not realized, and they also learned that no less than the 300,000 troops were equipped to march into the northeast, and the militarization of the great northwest had reached such a point that it immediately shook the entire government and the opposition, and the troops and military budget were increased again and again, and the original plan was to increase the number of troops by 300,000, which was directly changed to 500,000, and the Third Fleet and the First Air Fleet were also equipped to provide maritime support, so that the area now occupied by China must be preserved.
After the troops arrived at the deployment site, Wei Chendong and the Yanhuang army did not rush to attack, Wei Chendong was waiting for an opportunity, because now these places to be attacked, there are Western forces infiltrated, if you blindly attack, it will inevitably be strongly counterattacked, so some gains outweigh the losses, so he ordered all troops to speed up the consolidation of their supply routes, and build fortifications and airfields and other military facilities.
In August, Wu Dingbang reorganized 100,000 troops from Gansu, all the way through Sichuan, Guizhou, Guangxi, entered Guangdong, and drove all the way to Dongguan. However, Wu Dingbang didn't care what others guessed, and immediately ordered the troops to build temporary warehouses in the Dongguan area, and batches of various materials transported from Gansu were sent here to be stockpiled.
During this period, Europe was also changing, Germany's various moves involved the hearts of Western countries, Britain and France have been implementing a policy of appeasement, so that Hitler's ambitions swelled sharply, and finally on September 1 the target was extended to Poland, brazenly launched a surprise attack, World War II broke out in full swing, and on September 3, Britain and France declared war on Germany.
"Okay, it's just this moment, the whole army will attack", knowing this information, Wei Chendong's eyes lit up, and the army that was already ready to attack on all fronts.
In Northeast China and North China, the anti-Japanese army, including the Yan and Huang Army, had nearly 1 million soldiers and nearly 800,000 troops, and in Central China, the anti-Japanese army, including the Yan and Huang Army, had more than 500,000 soldiers and more than 300,000 troops.
On the Yan'an side, regardless of the current situation of fighting with the Kuomintang and having no time to separate, he ordered the troops in southern Anhui to cooperate with the Yan and Huang Army as much as possible to fight against Yue.
On September 3, Wei Chendong asked his father-in-law, General Huang Keqiang, to lead 200,000 troops to attack Shanghai, and he also led 200,000 troops to Nanjing, preparing to directly attack the base camp of the Central China Army and wipe out the Central China Dispatch Army in one fell swoop.
However, the army still underestimated the equipment of the Yan and Huang Army, a full 800 tanks of various types were rampant on the battlefield in Central China, more than 1,000 warplanes flew from the northwest to various airports in Central China, and 1,200 cannons of various calibers stood side by side.
However, the militarists obviously could not accept this fact, and frantically shouted that the imperial army could be defeated without other changes. After all, they have been plotting against China for so long and have spent so much thought, and if they admit defeat without letting go, they themselves feel that they can't afford the energy they have been expending.
The 500 tanks of an armored division were in the lead, and the poor Type 97 and other light and medium-sized tanks of the army could not be given at all, and they were quickly wiped out as soon as they appeared.
More than 1,000 fighters took turns to sweep away all blocking forces. Wei Chendong's 200,000 troops were divided into two routes, one of which was from the north of the Yangtze River to Nanjing, and the other was led by Wei Chendong himself to cross the Yangtze River in Anhui, and also went to Nanjing, and the 200,000 army only took a week to reach the periphery of Nanjing.
