Tu Qianjun waited for a long time, but Japan never made any move. There are four strongholds in the three eastern provinces in Shandong, and according to the news they have sent back, there is now a calm there.

And under this calm, Tu Qianjun did not feel reassured. On the contrary, I gradually felt the slightest crisis! The calmer it is, the more it shows that the line of attack of the Japanese must be developing towards Yan Zhengqing's idea!

"Let's take one step at a time!" After learning the news, Yan Zhengqing sighed deeply at Tu Qianjun: "It's too far, the whip can't reach it!" ”

Tu Qianjun nodded silently, and that was the only way. After all, the mountains and rivers are far away, and the tentacles of the Wehrmacht cannot reach there.

There is no other way but to wait and see. I have to say that the Japanese chose this position very well, and the Wehrmacht couldn't touch it at all! Even if you reluctantly rush over, you can't compete with the Japanese army!

In May, the situation in eastern Fujian changed greatly! Jiang Zhongzheng set up a camp in Nanchang in Nanchang with full authority to handle the military and political affairs of Jiangxi, Guangdong, Fujian, Hunan, and Hubei provinces, and personally organized and commanded a larger-scale encirclement and suppression of the Soviet areas, and concurrently served as the commander-in-chief of the anti-bandit army.

After intense deliberations, Chiang Zhongzheng and others decided to adopt a new strategy of protracted warfare and fortressism, and at the same time imposed an economic and transportation blockade on the Soviet area, gradually compressing and destroying the Soviet area.

The aspect is led by Qin Xian, Wu Hao and Otto. The three-man regiment formed by Braun put forward the policy of keeping the enemy out of the country, and attempted to use positional warfare and regular warfare to contain the enemy outside the Soviet area and protect every inch of territory in the Soviet area.

The Eastern Army, composed mainly of the Red Third Army Corps and the Red 19th Division, and the Central Army, composed mainly of the Red First Army and the Red 14th Division, were ordered to continue to carry out non-stop attacks on the Kuomintang troops in the northwest of Fujian and the area between the Fuhe River and the Ganjiang River.

Yang Ziren and others, who were in Manchuria, were quite anxious when they heard the news! Overnight, Huang Xiaoling sent a telegram through the Soviet area and put forward some suggestions on guerrilla warfare. Unfortunately, his advice was not accepted.

Subsequently, Jiang Zhongzheng held a military conference in Lushan, opened a training regiment for 'suppressing bandits', and began to formulate a 'encirclement and suppression' plan to step up preparations for 'encirclement and suppression'. This 'encirclement and suppression'. Chiang Zhongzheng mobilized 1 million troops. Among them, 500,000 troops were directly used to attack the Soviet zone!

Its deployment was: Gu Zhutong, commander-in-chief of the Northern Route Army, commanding the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Route Armies. 33 divisions and 3 brigades. Its 1st Route Army's 4 divisions and 2 brigades were located in the Jishui, Xingan (now Xingan), Yongfeng, Le'an, and Yihuang areas; The 6 divisions of the 2nd Route Army were located in the Jinxi, Tengqiao, and Chongren areas; The 18 divisions and 1 supplementary brigade of the 3rd Route Army under the commander-in-chief of Chen Cheng were the main forces of this 'encirclement and suppression', and they were assembled in the Nancheng, Nanfeng, and Linchuan areas.

The task of the Northern Route Army was to build a blockade line of pillboxes from north to south. The main assault on the Central Soviet District was carried out. With the 3rd Route Army under the strategy of the 1st and 2nd Route Armies, it advanced in the direction of Guangchang to seek a decisive battle with the main force of the Red Army; The two divisions under the direct command of the General Headquarters of the Northern Route Army held Ji'an, Taihe and other places on the west bank of the Ganjiang River, and cooperated with the Western Route Army to maintain the transportation of the Ganjiang River; The 3 divisions of the General Reserve were located near Fuzhou (now Linchuan).

Chen Jitang, commander-in-chief of the Southern Route Army, commanded 11 divisions and 1 brigade to build blockhouses to hold the Wuping, Anyuan, Ganxian, and Shangyou areas, prevent the Red Army from maneuvering southward, and advance to Yunmenling and Huichang, and cooperate with the Northern Route Army in combat. The commander-in-chief of the Western Route Army, He Jiansuo, had 9 divisions and 3 brigades. Five divisions and four security regiments of the Zhejiang-Jiangxi-Fujian border defenders respectively 'encircled and suppressed' the Red Army in Hunan-Jiangxi, Hunan-Hubei-Jiangxi, and Fujian, Zhejiang, and Jiangxi Soviet Regions, and prevented the Red Army from maneuvering west of the Ganjiang River and northeast Jiangxi.

Cai Tingkai, commander-in-chief of the 19th Route Army, commanded 6 divisions and 2 brigades, responsible for the defense of Fujian. and prevent the Red Army from maneuvering to the east. Five teams of the Air Force are deployed in Nanchang, Linchuan, and Nancheng. Support operations.

Holding the telegram sent by the Soviet District, Yang Ziren and the others looked at the instructions above in a daze that made them self-respecting speechless......

Tu Qianjun held the newspaper and looked at the report on it and couldn't help but sigh. This encirclement and suppression in history is the heaviest loss of the entire Red Color! Historically, there has been a lot of analysis of this encirclement and suppression, but in the end, this time it was a failure.

Yang Ziren took his wife to find Tu Qianjun, and looking at their looks, Tu Qianjun knew what they were going to do.

took out a list and handed it to Yang Ziren, Tu Qianjun said with a smile: "No matter what, you all have to go back." After all, those are your ideals, and I can understand that! Let's get acquainted, and this is my gift to you! ”

Yang Ziren was stunned for a moment, and then took the list. But I saw that there was a bunch of medicines and some guns and ammunition on it, which were extremely lacking in the Soviet area now! Suddenly, a stream of heat flowed slowly in Yang Ziren's heart.

"I'll send someone from the 'Mountain Dogs' to protect you back." Tu Qianjun looked at Yang Ziren and said in a deep voice: "It's too dangerous to go this time, just stay, kid!" If things don't work out, I'm here to welcome you! ”

Yang Ziren nodded silently, for now, the National Defense Force is undoubtedly the safest place in the country! Even safer than Shanghai, where no foreign troops or people from any government can mess around!

In June, Yang Ziren left Manchuria with several comrades who had come to Manchuria with him under the escort of Huo Diange. With him went there was also some medicine, guns and ammunition.

These boxes were marked with the insignia of the Wehrmacht, and even the Central Army did not dare to inspect them at will.

In the chaos, no one noticed that Japan had transferred eight general-level officials to the reserve after the 226 Incident. A meeting of the three chiefs, jointly convened by the Chief of Staff of the Army, the Director of Education, and the Minister of the Army, decided that Toshiichi Terauchi would be appointed as the new Minister of Land.

Subsequently, the backbone of the unification faction, such as Sugiyama Moto, Nishio Toshizo, and Umezu Mijiro, were transferred to Tokyo to take control of the Army Center.

What no one noticed was that part of the main force of the Japanese army was quietly assembling towards Duwan! Most of the people's attention has been drawn to the battle between the red and the national capital!

In June, Yang Ziren and others rushed back to the Soviet area. But what awaits them is still the cold bench - no one cares about them. They were abandoned in the corner, and Qin Xiantie and others, who were keen on positional warfare, were concentrating their forces to try to fight a decisive battle with the Nanjing State Government!

Maybe Jiang Zhongzheng wanted to show respect for Tu Qianjun, or to show off his strength. In short, the Manchurian side received war reports from the Nanking government almost every day.

Of course, these battle reports will not mention the loose pillbox lines built around the Jianxian Bridge and Yongxing Bridge that they broke through in the Huwan attack launched by the Red First Army and the Third Army Corps.

Mostly talking about how many troops were annihilated in the Soviet zone and what and what places were occupied. Looking at these battle reports, Tu Qianjun sighed slightly. Perhaps, it will not be long before there will be a great strategic shift in the Soviet zone!

In history, the original snow hiding period of Yang Ziren is about to pass, and he will glow with his own brilliance! No matter what people say about him, there's no denying that he's a genius! This kind of genius may only appear in many years.

"The bandits harass us in all sorts of clever ways, and we have to gather our forces first, build fortifications, and hold on to ourselves in a stupid way! Find a good opportunity to destroy him later! ”

At the combat meeting, Jiang Zhongzheng instructed Chen Cheng and others beside him: "The bandits use all kinds of clever methods of attacking the east and west, waving flags and shouting, and all kinds of false voices and threats to harass our ears and eyes, and attack our spirits, so as to get cheap. ”

The people below recorded Jiang Zhongzheng's speech by "brushing ~ brushing ~ brushing ......", and then formed their strategic form! Encirclement and suppression of the entire Soviet zone!

"The bandit area is no more than 500 square miles. If our army can advance two miles a day, it will be less than a year and it will be able to completely occupy the bandit area! ”

Steady and steady, this is the strategy formulated by Jiang Zhongzheng this time! The aim was to annihilate the Red in the Soviet zone with blockade, attrition and gradual occupation! I have to say, this method is extremely effective!

Under the constant construction of fortresses, the living space of the Soviet zone was greatly compressed! In the end, I had to fight a positional war with the national government! In the case of a very different weaponry, the result of such a battle is simple: a crushing defeat!

Only in Jiangxi built more than 5,300 bunkers of various kinds, 573 in Fujian! More than 5,000 kilometers of roads have been built to communicate with the towers. A large number of bunkers and their connecting roads form a tight blockade!

Looking at the various reports, Tu Qianjun couldn't help but laugh dumbly! This Jiang Zhongzheng went to suppress bandits, and also built local infrastructure! Although he conquered a lot of people, at least he did a certain amount of infrastructure construction.

Putting down the report on encirclement and suppression, Tu Qianjun devoted himself wholeheartedly to the construction of various branches of the National Defense Force. Time is running out, and now the 109 fighter, which has just made successful test flights, is trying to equip part of it with the troops.

Now tanks have been successfully equipped with more than two hundred units! The trainees who had secretly arrived from Germany also gradually arrived in Manchuria and entered the secret training ground in Mongolia for training.

The first batch of officer trainees from the National Defense University of the three eastern provinces has also graduated, and they will return to their respective units to continue their military careers.

Under the coordination of various ministries, various industries in the three eastern provinces are booming! Now in the encirclement and suppression of the Nanjing government, 80% of the cars are the people's livelihood brands produced in the three eastern provinces! Some of the firearms are Tiger assault rifles produced in the three eastern provinces.

However, these are old, and new small-caliber rifles have been developed. But production was suppressed by Tu Qianjun - this weapon he was going to wait until after the war against Japan before putting it on the battlefield!

In September, the troops of the Soviet zone were repulsed by the Nanking government on a large scale without accident! The sphere of activity of the entire Soviet zone was sharply reduced, and the so-called "Soviets" were crumbling in the midst of storms......
