The battle situation that was originally full of flames seemed to have become quiet again with the announcement of the liberation of Beiping City by the Eighth Route Army. www.biquge.info Although the two sides are still fighting each other in some places, the battle is much smaller than before.

The smooth recovery of Beiping also realized that the situation of the Chinese War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression had entered a new stage. The Japanese army, which had previously focused on the Southern Army, was now also considering intensifying its offensive or interception in the north.

In this North China Campaign, the attack power displayed by the Eighth Route Army really shocked the Japanese army. Heavy artillery, tanks, armored vehicles, and new and powerful fighter planes all made the Japanese army realize that the Eighth Route Army was not ordinary.

Most importantly, as the United States began to implement the material embargo, many of the strategic materials that the Japanese army urgently needed began to be in short supply. In the midst of such internal and external troubles, the Japanese military cabinet also began to choose to adjust its combat deployment.

Despite the battle with the Nationalist Army at Changsha, the Southern Dispatch Army gained a certain advantage. However, for the sake of the overall situation in China, the Japanese Cabinet still issued an order to send troops from the south to rest and recuperate, and temporarily stop the advance of the national army.

The actions of the Japanese army in the south naturally could not escape the intelligence system of the Eighth Route Army in the south. The Führer, who learned of this situation, also realized that the Japanese army was only afraid that it would focus on dealing with the Eighth Route Army in the future. Fortunately, today, Peking has been successfully recovered.

In view of the current situation, after telegraphic discussions with Mr. Zhu, the Führer and Mr. Zhu finally decided to start the defensive deployment of the original 129th Division and the 35th Army on the periphery of Tianxi. Of course, in order to ensure the security of the rear, there are still troops on the offensive at the front.

The original 115th Division and the original 120th Division, which originally advanced to the north, began to move to Shandong under the order of Mr. Zhu. At the same time, the troops of the original 120th Division were more deployed in the Henan-Anhui border area.

Cooperate with the troops of the Eighth Route Army now deployed in the Central Plains to exert pressure on the Japanese garrison in the Central Plains. As for the Japanese army in Tianyan, the Führer and Mr. Zhu both felt that it was safer to postpone the attack.

In the final analysis, in order to prepare for the North China Campaign, the Eighth Route Army also took a truce for a period of time before preparing these materials. Now that this battle has been fought so far, there is not much left of all kinds of supplies.

If the battle to attack Tianyuan comes into a stalemate or tug-of-war, it will also be very unfavorable for the Eighth Route Army. At present, the top priority is to reorganize the resources of the Eighth Route Army in the liberated areas in the north.

Regarding the telegram forwarded by the head of state and Mr. Zhu, He Zhengdao also felt that this decision was very wise. Although the reputation of laying down Tianxian is very good, in He Zhengdao's opinion, even if he lays down Tianxian for a while, he will not be able to keep it.

Even with a strong navy, the Japanese could attack from the sea at any time. Now take a moment to make the Japanese army feel that the Eighth Route Army is satisfied. Perhaps next, the Japanese army will slowly withdraw troops from Tianxian.

At least from the intelligence gathered by the Eighth Route Army so far, the Japanese army is already planning an invasion plan against the colonies in Southeast Asia. The troops that invaded Hainan earlier are now gathering and preparing to leave for Burma.

Looking at the telegram from the head of the Yuan, Ye Jianying also asked, "Commander, will our battle continue?" At present, the war situation in North China is beginning to ease, and if we continue to attack, the supply line will be a little long! ”

"There are a large number of troops in North China, and they have a military and geographical advantage over the little devils. Therefore, the little devil who retreated to Tianyan did not dare to carry out a counterattack when he thought about it. Blocking and defending is their combat goal.

But our side is different, at this stage we cannot relax, we should continue to put pressure on the Kwantung Army. From the information relayed from various intelligence stations in the northeast, it can be roughly judged that the Kwantung Army has begun to mobilize troops from the border.

As long as these troops are in place, it will be difficult for us to break through their defensive nets. It is better to let the front-line troops continue the offensive, take over the troops in the rear and start building fortifications, and then let the troops withdraw when the time is ripe. ’

In He Zhengdao's view, today's Northeast Field Army, compared with the Kwantung Army, still does not have an advantage in strength. In this case, it also means that the Eighth Route Army still needs time to strengthen its own strength.

But if it is easy to retreat, it will only make the Kwantung Army see that the Eighth Route Army lacks confidence. For this reason, even though the troops are fighting very hard at this stage, He Zhengdao still ordered the front-line troops to continue to exert pressure on the Kwantung Army.

Whether it is the current three columns, or the directly subordinate columns advancing towards Mukden, they will attract the attention of the Kwantung Army to the city of Mukden. Even, in order to ensure that Mukden was not lost, the Kwantung Army transferred a lot of troops deployed in the Hung Yen League.

At this moment, the area of the Hung Yen League has entered the stage of ice and snow sealing the mountains. Whether it is for the Eighth Route Army or the Japanese army, conducting a large-scale operation in such bad weather is undoubtedly a self-inflicted move!

Compared with the Northeast Field Army, which was still fighting against the Kwantung Army, the troops of the Eighth Route Army that participated in the North China Campaign this time, in addition to the troops who were ordered to be stationed in North China, the rest of the troops also began to enter the process of resting and moving.

According to the operational deployment of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, the operational objectives of the Eighth Route Army in the next step will be to focus on Shandong and Anhui. In particular, the Shandong region, which borders North China, was also the focus of the next troop offensive.

The original 117th Division, which was deployed in Shandong, has now been expanded into a combat unit at the army level. As the troops of the former 115th Division began to move south, the main combat units of the original 117th Division also began to prepare to continue to infiltrate and even attack.

However, limited to the fact that the logistics materials are slightly insufficient at present, the operational goal given by the headquarters to Xu Xiang's front is to infiltrate the troops in the form of small detachments first. Strive to find out the garrison situation of the Japanese army in Shandong before the next general offensive.

It can be said that this order is undoubtedly very exciting for the officers and men of the 117th Division. After all, as the main combat force of the Eighth Route Army, it was a pity that he could not participate in the campaign to recover North China.

At present, the headquarters is entrusted with the task of recovering Shandong, and serves as the main attacking force. This is also an excellent opportunity for the officers and men of the 117th Division to make meritorious contributions and prove themselves.

At the same time, Xiao Jinguang's unit, which had been staying near Dabie Mountain, also received operational instructions from the headquarters. Cooperate with the 115th Division that will enter Anhui next, and strive to wipe out all the Japanese troops in Anhui.

Perhaps it was this large-scale troop movement of the Eighth Route Army that made the Japanese troops in the southern region also very nervous. Even this action of the Eighth Route Army has aroused great attention and vigilance on the part of the Nationalist Army.

The troops of the National * Army deployed near the new 67th Army have also strengthened security vigilance at the same time. Even in order to ensure that the Hubei region would not be captured by the Eighth Route Army, the Nationalist Army began to mobilize troops in Hubei to prepare for a counteroffensive.

According to Lao Chiang's operational instructions, that is, it is necessary to grab territory with the Eighth Route Army. Of course, it is not appropriate to grab the territory that has been recovered by the Eighth Route Army. Whoever snatched it from was naturally in the hands of the little devils.

Therefore, the National * Army and the Eighth Route Army also began a new round of competition in the Central Plains. In the face of this competition, both the Central China Bureau and Mr. Peng, who presided over the military and political work in Henan, felt that it was much better than engaging in friction between the two sides.

Even judging from the current situation, in the future, the National * Army and the Eighth Route Army are afraid that there will inevitably be a war. However, at this stage, if we can guarantee the idea of working together to resist Japan, the Eighth Route Army will naturally not destroy this excellent situation.

The New Fourth Army, which had been staying in southern Anhui earlier, also began to make moves. Some of the combat units under his command also began to enter the territory of Liangguang and Jiangxi Province to develop armed forces behind enemy lines. Such a combat deployment also made the Japanese army in the south very nervous.

According to the Führer's intentions, the Eighth Route Army's operational goal next year is to ensure that the Northeast Field Army does not lose and to strive to win the dominance of the Central Plains. And in the campaign to exterminate the Japanese army, the control area of the Eighth Route Army was constantly expanded.

In the past, the Führer would have felt that such a plan was too radical. However, with the US side promising to provide 500 million yuan in military aid, the first batch of 200 million yuan of loans was also exchanged for a large amount of materials and machinery and equipment.

With this loan, the Eighth Route Army will move forward a little bigger, at least without worrying about pulling eggs!

Earlier, some of the southern dispatch troops who were unwilling to end the Battle of Changsha hastily received telegrams from the garrison troops in various places. also began to know that they were supposed to be in the rear, but they were afraid that there would be another gunsmoke in the future.

At this time, the people in the south were a little unfamiliar with the Eighth Route Army. But when many people learned that the Red Army was the former of the Eighth Route Army, and now after its strength grew rapidly in the north, many people were also willing to support the Eighth Route Army in the war of resistance behind enemy lines.

There is a saying that 'the righteous have much help, and the unrighteous have little help', and the common people actually have a scale. Whoever they support, who can get more benefits, they will also consider it to some extent. After all, the victory of the national * army after the Anti-Japanese War is indeed a bit unsatisfactory.

After the two main anti-Japanese forces began to plan a strategic counterattack, the Japanese army also really began to realize the increase in pressure. The Japanese army, who had been thinking of sending troops from the south to the north, suddenly found that there were no troops to be mobilized at all.

In order to ensure the security and stability of the southern ruling areas, the anti-Japanese armed forces that began to rise in the south were also suppressed. The main combat units of the Japanese army also began to divide into wings or brigades and go to various areas in the south to stabilize law and order.

In the final analysis, the Japanese army at this time also really realized that the people who had opened up the people's wisdom also realized that the good days of the little devils were not long. Some opportunists, compared with their previous support for the Japanese army, have also become a little hesitant this time.

The most direct proof is that the puppet government in Nanjing, which is now supported by the Japanese army, has also begun to decline the invitation of the Japanese army and seems to be reluctant to get too close to the Japanese army.

As for those hardcore traitors, they also know that there is no way out. A big traitor like Wang Jinwei, he also knows that he must go all the way with the Japanese army. After all, Lao Jiang and the Eighth Route Army will definitely not spare him easily.

For a time, with the many actions of the Eighth Route Army in the south, the city of Nanjing, which had been singing and dancing earlier, also began to have an undercurrent. As for those hardcore traitors, they also began to think about a way out to save their lives in advance!
