The Japanese Kwantung Army won a great victory in this encirclement and suppression! As soon as this news was published by the "Shengjing Times", "Datong Daily", "Taidong Daily" and some foreign newspapers, it quickly spread throughout Manchukuo, as well as the north and south of the country, and even had a huge impact in the international community.

At this historical moment, the Xinhua News Agency, the First News Agency, the Tagong News Agency, the People's News Agency, the Reuters News Agency, and the Roadside News Agency in China rushed to reprint and report. Hearing this event, the Chinese people were tragic, the traitors were surprised, the Japanese army's temperament was high, and the friends were shocked.

People in Wuhan, Chongqing, Changsha, Xi'an, Kunming, Chengdu, Lanzhou and other major cities spontaneously organized a silent tribute for Meng Qingshan, who sacrificed his life in the Anti-Japanese Federation, and the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army. In order to strengthen the people's belief in resisting Japan and encourage their enthusiasm for resisting Japan, the Eighth Route Army of our party in the Guannai actively launched several large-scale battles against the Japanese army.

In the past, everyone knew that Japan had gathered hundreds of thousands of troops outside China's Guan, and at first the Kuomintang and the Communist Party attached great importance to the movements of the Japanese Kwantung Army outside the Guan, fearing that hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops would suddenly enter the Guan, which would make the already very bad situation even more severe, but fortunately, most of the troops of the Japanese Kwantung Army were placed in the border area to prevent the Soviet Union, and a small part was held back by the Anti-Japanese Alliance, and the remaining troops were transferred to the Guannai to support. However, Meng Qingshan led the Anti-Japanese Federation to fight in the back garden of the Japanese army, and successively wiped out tens of thousands of Japanese troops, which shocked the Japanese military and political circles, and the Japanese Kwantung Army Command had to transfer back the troops sent to Guannai to make every effort to eliminate the Anti-Japanese Alliance, so that the balance of victory on the battlefield in Guannai was tilted in favor of the Chinese army in Guannai. At the same time, it also made Meng Qingshan and the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army into the eyes of the people of the whole country, and in the eyes of the people, as long as they fight devils, they are big heroes. And the troops led by Meng Qingshan were even more slaughtered, annihilating tens of thousands of Japanese troops successively, which was unprecedented in the pass, so Meng Qingshan was the god of war in their eyes.

After receiving the news from Umezu Mijiro, the commander of the Japanese North China Dispatch Army, Terauchi Shouichi, tried to completely crush the fighting spirit of the anti-Japanese forces in Kannai. Deliberately launched a propaganda war on a large scale, not only sending messages to several major newspapers such as "Central Daily", "Xinhua Daily", "Declaration", "Ta Kung Pao", "Wen Wei Po", etc., as well as photos taken by the Japanese army on the front line, but also at the same time. They also organized planes to fly to our party's guerrilla areas and to Wuhan, Chongqing, Changsha, Xi'an, Kunming, Chengdu, Lanzhou, and other major cities to distribute leaflets.

It can be seen that the Japanese Kwantung Army and North Japan have united and made full preparations. The photographs provided provide detailed descriptions of the battlefield. Including the position was full of anti-United Nations soldiers in gray and yellow uniforms, including several military flags. Other than that. In order to strengthen the persuasiveness. It also released the situation of the triumphant return of the Japanese army and the photos of Meng Qingshan killed, and many Chinese people burst into tears when they saw the fierce battlefield outside the gate and the assassination of Meng Qingshan.

Terauchi Shouichi, commander of the Japanese North China Dispatch Army, thought that this would be a blow to the anti-Japanese spirit of the anti-Japanese people in North China, but he did not expect the results obtained, on the contrary, before they came to their senses, the "Central Evening News", "Justice Daily", "China Times", "National Salvation Daily", "Struggle Daily", "Military and Political Daily", "Progress Daily", "Salvation Information", "Fuxing Daily", "Henan Daily", "Zhengzhou Daily", "Yudong Business Daily" ...... Hundreds of newspapers joined forces to change the Japanese army's successful killing of Meng Qingshan, the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army, into an assassination behind his back, while the encircled and annihilated Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army wrote that the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army surrounded by a large number of Japanese troops fought bravely. Regardless of sacrifice, he swore to defend his homeland to the death. All the tragic words are used, which makes people's blood boil when they see the article.

"Baga, what is the situation, it was originally a good thing for us, why did it become like this?" Terauchi Shouichi gritted his teeth and threw a newspaper on the ground, shouting angrily: "Tokugawa-kun, what do you say your intelligence department is doing, but you can't even manage the newspaper office of the Shina. ”

"Your Excellency, Commander, this is all done by the people of China to cover up their failures, and I think we must not only defeat them mentally, but also eliminate the spiritual pillar that they value the most."

"Spiritual pillars?"

"It's the Communist Eighth Route Army that is active in our places, the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army is also their subordinate unit, and the Hundred Regiment Battle they formed some time ago, this group of Tubalu is no longer ants in our eyes, they are very good at propaganda, so that the people in China can easily believe them, I think we should organize a big campaign to combat their arrogance."

It's good not to mention the battle of the hundred regiments, but the mention of the battle of the hundred regiments makes Terauchi Shouichi very annoyed, although the casualties of the troops are not much, and most of the losses are puppet troops, but the ability of this group of dirt and eight roads to destroy is a hundred times more powerful than their war, these months have destroyed more than 470 kilometers of railways, more than 1,500 kilometers of highways, countless pillboxes, after Terauchi Shouichi's decision, in order to realize his "law and order" plan, mobilize the main forces of the 20th and 109th divisions and the 10th, 35th, 36th, The 108th Division and the 4th and 9th Brigades of the Independent Mixed Brigade each totaled more than 50,000 people, commanded by the commander of the Japanese 1st Army, Umezu, to sweep the Taihang anti-Japanese base area, in an attempt to find and annihilate the main force of the Eighth Route Army, open up the Bai (Gui) Jin (Cheng), Handan (Dan) Chang (Zhi), Ping (Ding) Liao (County) and other communication arteries, control the main towns, divide the anti-Japanese base areas, divide the base areas of the Eighth Route Army into small pieces, and then clean up one by one by searching carpets.

In Chongqing, "Chairman of the Committee, Chairman of the Committee" as ****** confidant Chen Cheng hurriedly walked in.

"What's the matter?" Raising his head, he looked at Chen Cheng who hurriedly ran in, and said dissatisfied.

"The principal is as you expected, the devil is really dispatched, and there are quite a few of them, judging from the intelligence of the intelligence officers in front, the Japanese army has dispatched a total of nearly 50,000 troops to sweep the Communist Party's Taihang anti-Japanese base area, and now the Eighth Route Army is pouring blood mold, first a general was assassinated, and tens of thousands of troops were wiped out one after another, and now they are going to be encircled and suppressed, I think it is difficult for them to stand up this time."

"That's what they deserve, who let them think they acted on their own, and they don't understand the truth of shooting the first bird, Niang Xipi, the hundred regiments battle they organized, as the supreme leader of China, I don't even know at all, whether they still put me in their eyes, and the Meng Qingshan in the northeast, it is even more unreasonable, he didn't listen to the central government, and he deserved to be exterminated." He said as he stroked his beard.

"Headmaster, should we do something, or the Eight Roads side will say something in the newspaper."

"Hmmm! As for the dead Meng Qingshan, in view of the great contribution made by the Anti-Japanese Union to China's War of Resistance, Meng Qingshan was awarded the rank of general and rewarded with 100,000 silver dollars for the Anti-Japanese Federation. ”

"Principal, that Meng Qingshan is dead, do we have this money?"

"Just send it to Yan'an, I heard that they are preparing to hold a funeral for Meng Qingshan, you go to condolence on behalf of the central government, and give them the money by the way, of course, when you go, you also have to observe the situation of the Eighth Route Army." Instructed.

"Yes, Headmaster, I will definitely live up to your trust." Chen Cheng replied with a salute.

Soon, a telegram arrived from Chongqing to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, which was in the rear of the enemy. "Commander-in-Chief, ****** sent us condolences. It is about Comrade Meng Qingshan of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation, and this is a telegram. Peng Dehuai walked in and handed it to the commander-in-chief, who was studying the military situation.

"I think this Jiang bald head is a cat crying mouse, the condolences are fake, it is true to inquire about the situation of our Eighth Route Army, Lao Peng, I think the original text of this telegram will be given to the Central Committee, and the chairman will take a look at it." After reading the telegram, the commander-in-chief analyzed.

"I'll go." (To be continued.) )
