912 anti-encirclement and suppression and the Long March 19 Han turned out to be precious!

August 16, 1939, Bhubaneswar, General Headquarters of the South Asian Army of the GC International. ////(

"August 11, 11 p.m. to 7 p.m. Our GC International Armored Division fought a decisive battle with two armored divisions of the 1st Armored Corps of the Indian Army on the plains west of Dubrajpur and won the victory! In this battle, our heroic GC International Armored Division killed and wounded 4,553 enemy officers and soldiers, and captured 1,869 people; 184 enemy tanks were destroyed and 32 enemy tanks were captured, including 21 tank No. 2 (assembled from parts of damaged tanks); captured 46 enemy armored vehicles; 8 105mm howitzers, 56 mortars, machine rifle ammunition, etc. were captured. Our army lost 1,536 people, 655 were seriously wounded, and 48 were missing; 41 armored vehicles of the 28-year-old were damaged (irreparable), and 55 light wheeled armored vehicles were damaged......"

Aug. 14, 4:10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. The GC International Armoured Division engaged in a fierce battle with the Indian 3rd Armoured Division at Birlampur, north of Calcutta. On that day, the GC International Armored Division displayed its tenacious fighting spirit of not fearing death and hardship, fought hard against the enemy with air superiority, and finally won the victory. In this battle, our army killed and wounded 3,898 enemy officers and soldiers, and captured 226 people; 86 enemy tanks were destroyed and 24 enemy tanks were captured, including 11 tank No. 2; captured 19 enemy armored vehicles; 12 mortars, 26 machine guns and 553 rifles were captured...... Our army suffered 1,863 casualties, 842 seriously wounded, and 98 missing; 52 Type 28 armored vehicles, 26 tanks, and 68 light armored vehicles were damaged.

At present, our GC International Armored Division still has 30 tanks, including 11 No. 2 tanks, 12 No. 1 tanks, and 7 Vickers light tanks; 19 Type 28 armored vehicles, 97 light armored vehicles, 18 75mm armored assault guns, 5 Type 28 auxiliary armored vehicles; There are still 5,968 officers and soldiers left in the division......"

“…… The Jamshedpur-Danbad front was still in the midst of a bitter battle, but after the Indian armoured forces were routed by our GC International Armoured Division. The Indian offensive weakened significantly, and although Slim still drove the Indian infantry to attack in turn, he suffered heavy losses under the blows of our superior firepower and elite infantry. The 1st and 4th armies of the South Asian Army of our GC International also took advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack, and are currently fighting desperately with the Indian army in the city of Danbad, and it is expected to capture the city before August 17. On the northern front, the 2nd, 3rd and 4th armies of the Indian army had reached the front line on the night of August 14 and were currently unfolding on the front line of Bélampur, confronting our GC International Armored Division and the 5th Army, and it is estimated that an offensive will be launched before August 17. In addition, the siege of Kolkata by our 7th Army was quite solid, and on 14 August, the besieged enemy organized a general siege to echo the 3rd Panzer Division of the Indian Army moving south, but was thwarted by our besieging troops......"

“…… Olisha Battlefield. The fierce fighting continued, and our 6th and 8th armies fought very hard after the arrival of the main forces of the Indian army on the southern front. At present, the war is in a stalemate. However, it is not easy for a 6th Army plus the newly formed 8th Army to withstand the onslaught of nearly 400,000 troops of the Indian Army, 2 Central Army Infantry Corps and 6 Local Infantry Corps. ”

"After seven days of fierce fighting on all fronts, our army has now gained initial superiority on the battlefield, although most of the fronts are still in fierce fighting. However, the Indian army has suffered heavy losses, according to the results reported by the various armies, as of 10 a.m. on August 16, our army has killed and wounded 75,668 Indian puppet officers and soldiers, and captured 4,025 people; The losses of our army were only 18,665 casualties, 9,656 seriously wounded, and 5,038 missing, with a total loss of 33,359 people, which was less than half of the Indian puppet army. Among them, internationalist fighters from China lost 13,369 ......"

Ye Ting, the commander-in-chief, now seems to have become Mao Zd's chief of staff. ,/ While pointing to the situation map in front of him that he had personally marked, he explained to Mao ZD that the overall situation seemed to be on paper.

After introducing the military situation, Ye Ting smiled slightly and said in a low voice: "Vice Chairman Mao, in the 7-day battle, we eliminated nearly 80,000 Indian puppet troops, it seems that this battle is a big victory!" ”

Mao Zd's eyebrows were always furrowed, smoking cigarette after cigarette, staring at the map with burning eyes, as if thinking about something.

The total strength of the GC International South Asian Army in this battle was only 8 corps, 1 division plus 1 artillery group, even counting the local troops of Odisha, it was only 500,000 people. However, it launched a decisive battle with more than one million Indian puppet troops, and in just seven days of fierce fighting, it achieved a record of destroying nearly 80,000 enemies, while its own losses were only more than 30,000 people, of which the old Chinese internationalist fighters of the Chinese G only lost more than 13,000 people, which cannot but be said to be a brilliant victory. But the question is, is the one-to-six exchange ratio (Chinese internationalist fighters for the Indian puppet army) a loss or a gain for the Chinese G?

"How's the recruitment going?" Mao Zd's thinking seemed to be jumping, and he suddenly turned to recruiting new recruits. Ye Ting was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and replied: "As of the end of July, the GC International South Asian Runner-up has recruited more than 250,000 recruits. If the agrarian revolution is completed in West Bengal, it is estimated that 500,000 recruits there will not be a problem. East Bengal is also very densely populated, and when we liberate it, it will be possible to recruit a million recruits! So we don't have to worry about recruits at all now......"

Mao Zd waved his hand and interrupted Ye Ting. "Nope! I'm not talking about the Indians, but about the recruitment of recruits in the country, how many recruits have been recruited in the country in recent months? Is there a report coming over? ”

"Domestic?" Ye Ting was stunned when he heard this, pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "Now the six northern provinces have implemented discipline and government, although our party is in power, but all social systems and laws have been on par with the national control region, and the flow of people is completely free...... Under such circumstances, it is much more difficult to recruit troops than in the past, although the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff have given the border guards a quota of 200,000 people and recruitment, but ......"

"But I can't recruit soldiers! Is it? Mao Zd tightened his eyebrows, and then Ye Ting's words continued: "Before the training of the government, the Han people in the six northern provinces together were only more than three million...... And after the discipline, people can move freely, especially in the past two years, Chinese imperialism has become a first-class power, with large and rich colonies that can be used to balance colonies and new territories. Moreover, the Nationalist Government has also given various preferential immigration conditions to encourage the poor people in the country to move out, which is very attractive to the peasants of the six northern provinces who live in extreme poverty! ”

Ye Ting heard a deep sense of worry in Mao's tone, so he was relieved: "Please rest assured, Vice Chairman Mao, Chairman Zhou is now trying to attract people from the national control region to settle in our six northern provinces and the Far Eastern Republic." It is believed that in the near future, the flow of people will be reversed, and the population of the six northern provinces will certainly increase greatly. ”

Mao ZD smiled slightly when he heard this, noncommittal, but the conversation turned to the upcoming Sino-Japanese war. "The telegram I sent to me the day before yesterday mentioned that Luo Yaoguo was planning a war against Japan, Xiyi, what do you think?"

Ye Tu lowered his eyebrows, he was also very unaccustomed to Mao Zd's whimsical way of thinking, but he had to try his best to adapt to the other party. He pondered for a moment and replied: "The Sino-Japanese war that is about to start should be an imperialist war in nature, and the purpose is still to fight for colonies, so it is unjust. Both the Nationalist Government and the Japanese authorities launched the war on the opposite side of the people. ”

"I'm not asking you this." Mao ZD frowned again, this kind of big truth can be said in the "Red Star Daily", what is the use of talking about practical problems?

Besides, Luo Yaoguo colluded with Hitler to provoke two major disputes against the Soviet Union and Britain and France one after another, and it seems that he didn't see how the people opposed him! At most, there were some small "anti-war movements" in the early days of the "anti-Soviet war".

But when Stalin ceded East Siberia and most of Central Asia to seek peace, Luo Yaoguo was a voice of praise for virtue in China, and after defeating Britain and France and signing the "Roman Peace Treaty", Luo Yaoguo had already been praised as the first hero of China since the beginning of the world! Now there are worshippers everywhere who don't know the truth......

"Then Vice Chairman Mao wants to ask about the victory or defeat of the Sino-Japanese war in the future?" Ye Ting hesitated and asked tentatively.

"There is no suspense about the outcome of the Sino-Japanese War!" Mao ZD lit another cigarette, took a few puffs, and said lightly, "Japan will inevitably be defeated by Chinese imperialism!" Because this is a struggle for hegemony between imperialists, the key to determining the outcome of the war is the strength of the war, and imperialism has an overwhelming advantage in this regard. ”

At this, he paused, and his tone intensified. "I am now concerned about the spoils of war obtained by Chinese imperialism after its victory over Japan! Now that the Japanese have achieved a clear advantage in Australia, Wavell's Anzac forces have suffered defeats, Sydney has now fallen, and Canberra will soon be lost...... It seems that the entire Eastern Australia will soon change hands, and Luo Yaoguo may attack Japan at that time! And affluent Eastern Australia will become the next great place to settle in China's domestic poor. ”

Ye Ting nodded, his face became solemn, and he seemed to realize the seriousness of the problem. Mao Zd glanced at him and continued: "The victory in the Battle of Calcutta is only a matter of time, now that the offensive of the Indian puppet army is at the end of its strength, if we hold on for a few more days, they will be exhausted and weakened. Next, East and West Bengal, Assam, Orissa, and possibly Garkhand, a large chunk of eastern India will be ours! In the future, we may get more territory, including the whole of India, half of Korea, half of Japan, etc., and it is possible that in the future, the surname G will be given. ”

Speaking of this, Mao Zd suddenly waved his arms heavily and said loudly: "However, these territories are not the key to the success or failure of our revolution, nor the key to our party's strength, and may even be the trap that will destroy us!" This is a huge conspiracy of the Kuomintang reactionaries! ”

Mao Zd's words shocked Ye Ting's heart, and he immediately looked at him intently. Mao Zd's face showed rare anxiety. "It's a conspiracy, and it's a big conspiracy!" Mao ZD repeated this point again, and then looked up at the map, "Bangladesh, Assam, and Odisha are indeed rich and prosperous territories, and I don't know how much better than our barren northern six provinces. However, there are no Han Chinese here, only 70 or 80 million Indians...... However, in order to seize this piece of land, we have already paid the price of more than 20,000 Han soldiers! And that's just the beginning! As he spoke, his tone suddenly became heavy, "Xiyi, do you know that the more than 200,000 Han soldiers in our hands, as well as the two or three million Han people in the six northern provinces and the Far East, are the foundation of our cause!" If there were no Han Chinese, what would be the case with the whole of India? ”

"Without the Han army, it is not ours to defeat India, but the ...... of India's GCD" Ye Ting's voice was extremely soft, as if he was muttering to himself: "No wonder the Kuomintang is so enthusiastic about helping us open up a world revolutionary base area, it turns out that it is fighting this idea!" As he spoke, he raised his voice and asked Mao Zd: "Vice chairman, do you think we are going to withdraw from India?" ”

Mao Zd shook his head, opening up India as a world revolutionary base is the method he proposed, and under the condition that there is no way to launch the domestic revolutionary war for the time being, the acquisition of this treasure land in India will certainly be beneficial to the party's revolutionary cause. But at the time, he ignored one of the least problem-solving issues in China - population, and it was a Han population! The Han Chinese are the most populous ethnic group in the world today, so neither the Chinese reactionaries nor the revolutionaries regard the population as a valuable resource! Only then did Mao ZD suddenly realize that the key to the success of the revolutionary cause was actually the Han people...... The Han people turned out to be so precious! It's heart-wrenching to die on the battlefield.

However, it is not a way to withdraw from India now, and once it withdraws from India, the blood of the comrades who sacrificed in the past will be shed in vain. And without the wealth of India, even the Chinese G cannot afford to maintain an army of 200,000 people at a time when the people's livelihood in the country is rapidly improving! It is also unable to improve the livelihood of the people in its "training area", so that the Han population of the six northern provinces will continue to be lost to wealthy Australia!

"Vice Chairman Mao, can we find a way to attract people from the national control areas in China to migrate to India? The land in India is very fertile and the climatic conditions are also suitable for crop growth. Ye Ting thought about it for a long time, and then came up with a method that sounded a little ridiculous.

Mao Zd's eyes lit up and nodded slightly, "This is indeed a way, after we consolidate our base areas in India, we must find a way to formulate a preferential immigration policy to attract poor middle peasants from the national control areas to settle down in India." The location was chosen in ...... Around Kolkata! The land is the most fertile in India, the transportation is relatively convenient, the infrastructure is good, and the population density will be very low because of this war, so it can always attract two or three million poor middle peasants from the country to immigrate, right? ”

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of Mao ZD's office, and it was Zuo Q, the deputy chief of staff of the GC International South Asian Army, who came in.

"Vice Chairman Mao, Commander-in-Chief Ye," Zuo Q first gave a military salute to each of them, and then handed over a telegram. "The urgent telegram of the Northern Advance Corps, the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Armies of the Indian Army, the 3rd Armored Division and other units, are storming the defensive line of our 5th Army and the GC International Armored Division in Berambul, and fierce fighting has been launched between the two sides. At the same time, the Indian army in the city of Calcutta also began to break through to the north of the city, and our 7th Army was trying to stop it. He paused for a moment, and then said: "Vice chairman, Commander-in-Chief Ye, there are as many as 300,000 Indian troops on the front line of Bylampur and Calcutta!" Since our army is less than 100,000 men, and we have to divide our troops into two routes, the situation is very dangerous, and I propose that troops be immediately drawn from the Jamshedpur-Danbad line to reinforce them. ”

Mao ZD took the telegram and glanced at it, turned his head and asked Ye Ting, "Xiyi, what do you think?" ”

"No way!" Ye Ting did not hesitate to veto Zuo Q's suggestion, and he said in a deep voice: "The Jamshedpur-Danbad front line is the main battlefield, where more than 30 divisions of the enemy and us are concentrated, and they are all elite troops. Now that the battle has reached the most critical moment, no one can take a step back, otherwise they may lose everything! ”

"But what about Blambpur and Calcutta? If the Indian army is allowed to relieve the siege of Calcutta, won't we lose all our efforts? Zuo Q hesitated.

Ye Ting waved his hand and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, the key to victory and defeat now is not Calcutta, but the decisive battle on the front line of Jamshedpur-Danbad." As long as we can defeat the 8 armies of the Indian army, we will be able to liberate the forces of the 4 main armies and one artillery cluster for use near Calcutta, and the three and a half armies of the Indian army plus some local troops with weak combat effectiveness will certainly not be our opponents. ”

Mao Zd twisted his eyebrows and thought for a moment, nodded, and instructed: "I also agree with Comrade Ye Ting's view, the gains and losses on the front line of Jamshedpur-Danbad care about the overall situation, and there is no room for loss. Therefore, the Northward Advance Corps should give priority to breaking the main Indian army on the Jamshedpur-Danbad line. For this reason, it was necessary for the main forces of the Northern Advance Army to intensify the offensive in an all-round way in order to achieve victory in the battle of Jamshedpur-Danbad as soon as possible.

As for Kolkata, the suggestion of the General Front Committee of the South Asian Army of the GC International was that the Indian Army's Northern Front Corps should be prevented from joining forces with the enemy in Calcutta as much as possible. If this goal is not achieved, it is also necessary to retreat to the Hooghly River line to prevent the Indian army from advancing westward, so as to ensure that the main battle of the Jamshedpur-Danbad line will not be affected. ”
