Chapter 528: Turning Passive into Proactive
"Commander, no matter what, we're going to have to figure out a solution. Offset the various drawbacks that have arisen since our strategic intentions were exposed. If there is no feasible way, when the time comes, our field army will definitely be under the supervision of the army after it enters the three eastern provinces. And our whereabouts are exposed to the army in advance, so that the army can calmly deploy its forces on the road we must pass. When the time comes, what awaits us must be a large number of troops of the Kwantung Army...."Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan said with a worried face..."Well, it is certain to find a way. Now I'm thinking about how to turn our current passivity into initiative and grasp the initiative of the whole plan. In a word, I, Liu Hua, at any time, it is absolutely impossible to let the little devil lead me by the nose...."The corners of Liu Hua's mouth showed a sneer, and he said with a murderous face..."Change from passive to active? However, Commander, our current strategic intentions have been exposed to the army, and perhaps, there are countless pairs of little devils' eyes staring at our every move. As long as we have any abnormal movements, the commander of the Kwantung Army, the little devil of the three eastern provinces, will definitely know about this situation as soon as possible. In such a bad situation, how can we change from passive to active? You must know that the current commander of the Kwantung Army, Umezu, is a veteran with a lot of combat experience..."Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan shook his head and asked in disbelief..."General Umezu Mijiro is a veteran, which is indeed good." However, I don't know if his subordinates, especially the intelligence officers around us, are experienced and vicious-eyed intelligence officers? At the time of the art button, the corners of Liu Hua's mouth slowly showed a sneer, and he said to the political commissar beside him..."Commander, you mean, let's create an illusion to let the eyes of the little devils around us see... Then, let these little devil intelligence officers report what they saw to the Kwantung Army Headquarters, and report it to their commander, General Umezu Mijiro, so that, through this illusion, mislead the supreme commander of the little devils and make them make wrong decisions..."In an instant, the eyes of political commissar Luo Ronghuan also showed a sharp edge, and he said excitedly..."Yes, political commissar, that's what I said. No matter how shrewd the little devil commander is, it is impossible for him not to believe the reports of his subordinates. This time, let's make good use of the military intelligence officers around us. Let them pass on a fake message to their superiors. And the main force of our field army, let's give the little devil a golden cicada to get out of the shell, secretly Chen Cang's strategy, and get rid of the surveillance of the intelligence officers of the army..."Liu Hua nodded and said affirmatively.
"Good way, if this plan can really succeed. When the time comes, we will not only be able to hide from the eyes of the little devils. What's more, as long as we make good use of the intelligence personnel of these little devils, we can also take the opportunity to transfer the hundreds of thousands of troops prepared for us by General Umezu Mujiro away from our route to the northeast. When the time comes, our 100,000 field troops will be able to unexpectedly appear in the rear of the little devils. And by the time the little devil reacted and mobilized heavy troops to prepare to encircle and suppress us, we had already gained a firm foothold in their rear, and used the bullets and shells in our hands to welcome their arrival..."Under Liu Hua's explanation, a beautiful picture immediately appeared in the eyes of political commissar Luo Ronghuan. Imagining the beautiful situation faced by the field army after the success of the plan, a smile slowly appeared on the face of political commissar Luo Ronghuan..."Yes, as long as we deal with it properly, plus the advance detachment will gain a firm foothold in the rear of the little devil in advance." When the time comes, the main forces will advance to the northeast, and there will be no more doubts ... Political commissar, chief of staff, come, let's discuss in detail, how to put on a good show, show us around, the intelligence officers of the little devils, and finally achieve the results we want...."Liu Hua's face also showed a trace of excitement, and he greeted the political commissar and the chief of staff in front of him....
A few days later, at the sound of orders from the field army headquarters, several main columns hidden in various barracks surprised everyone. Groups of commanders and fighters ran out of the barracks with loaded guns and ammunition, began training, and appeared in the public eye....looking at the huge number of troops outside the city. After the last military parade, the citizens of Taiyuan once again felt the strength of the Eighth Route Army... Of course, these troops opened the barracks, not for ordinary people, but for the intelligence personnel of the puppet army hidden around Taiyuan.0....Just when the lurking puppet intelligence personnel, through several days of observation and reconnaissance, marveled at the huge number of troops gathered around Taiyuan, a news that people could not believe once again came out from the field army headquarters, and reported to the people of the whole country....
That is, the specific establishment of the Northeast Field Army, which has already been established, has appeared in the public eye... After discussion by the Central Military Commission, based on the Reading Division of the Eighth Route Army, the Reading Division was reorganized into the Northeast Field Army of the Eighth Route Army. The Northeast Field Army has five field columns and one special forces column, with a total strength of 120,000 troops...
At the same time, the specific purpose of the formation of the Northeast Field Army was also announced to the Chinese people: that is, to advance into the Northeast and occupy the three northeastern provinces that the PLA had occupied for five years. The 30 million Northeast fathers and elders who liberated the three northeastern provinces and regions and were enslaved by the army for several years. At the same time, because the troops are unfamiliar with the environment and terrain of the three northeastern provinces. Call on soldiers and young people from all over the country who belong to the three northeastern provinces to sign up for the Northeast Field Army and follow the troops to liberate the three northeastern provinces....
As the news was made public, the whole of China once again cheered for this operation of the Eighth Route Army... Similarly, under the call of radio and newspapers, the former soldiers of the Northeast Army scattered all over the country learned that they could finally return to the three northeastern provinces and return to their hometowns after several years of absence. Without any hesitation, he immediately broke away from his original army and went to Taiyuan, North China, to join the Eighth Route Army....Of course, these things were unexpected by Liu Hua and Luo Ronghuan.
As the Northeast Field Army gradually entered the field of vision of the people across the country, the agents of the puppet army lurking around Taiyuan also made a final summary of what they saw, heard, and reconnoitred at the first time. Then, it was sent by radio to the Kwantung Army Headquarters in the three eastern provinces ....
As a result, the specific situation of the Kwantung Northeast Field Army slowly appeared in the eyes of Major General Nishimura, head of the Army Intelligence Division of the Kwantung Army Headquarters, the little devil....Seeing the information about the Northeast Field Army in front of him, at this moment, Major General Nishimura, who was eager to make meritorious atonements, did not hesitate, and immediately took a piece of information that he had just sorted out, and quickly walked to the office where the commander General Umezu Mujiro was....
"Report to Your Excellency Commander, I have important information that needs to be reported...."Walking into the office, I saw the commander who was staring at the huge military map and seemed to be in a daze, Major General Nishimura reminded in a low voice....
"It turned out to be Nishimura-kun. Nishimura-kun, is it true that the reconnaissance of the Eighth Route Army in North China has already yielded results..."Seeing Major General Nishimura, the commander immediately pulled his thoughts back from the map and sat on his office chair and asked.
"Hi, Your Excellency Commander. After many investigations by the intelligence personnel of the Imperial Army, we have already made clear the specific establishment of the Northeast Field Army of the Eighth Route Army and the candidates for its commander. However, it is not clear when this unit will be dispatched because our intelligence officers cannot approach the enemy's senior commanders. Major General Nishimura quickly replied.
"Nishimura-kun, don't worry, it's only been a week, and it's already very good that I can reconnoiter so much information. Quickly, report to me on the specific establishment of this Northeast Field Army and the selection of commanders...."The commander said.
"After reconnaissance, the predecessor of the Northeast Field Army was the Reading Division of the Eighth Route Army. The entire Northeast Field Army has a total of five main columns and one special forces column, with a total strength of more than 120,000 people... Among them, the 1234 and the special forces column, a total of five columns, were directly adapted from the original reading division, and the fifth main column was directly adapted from the anti-Japanese alliance that was compressed by our army to the area of Changbai Mountain...."It took a full ten minutes for Major General Nishimura to finish the specific establishment of the Northeast Field Army and the composition of the troops that he had prepared in one night.
"Yo Si, infantry, artillery, armor, engineers, cavalry, and air defense are all there. It seems that this Northeast Field Army, in terms of equipment and types of troops, is currently the most powerful unit in the entire Eighth Route Army... With such a strong combat effectiveness and advanced equipment, his supreme commander must be the most capable general to command... If my guess is correct, the supreme commander of this unit must be Liu Hua, the former supreme commander of the Reading Division...."The commander nodded and said.
"Hey, Your Excellency Commander, the commander of the Northeast Field Army is Liu Hua, who has the title of victorious general, the first deputy commander is Yang Jingyu, the supreme commander of the Anti-Japanese Federation, and the political commissar of the field army is Luo Ronghuan, who has rich experience in political work....According to our statistics, the headquarters of the entire field army can be said to be the headquarters with the highest level and the most experience among all the armies...."Major General Nishimura replied with a flattering face.
"Yo Xi, it seems that [***] has very great expectations for their Northeast Field Army. However, no matter how strong the combat effectiveness of this army is, I say that the Kwantung Army of this empire is not the North China Front, and when the time comes, I will definitely let this victorious general bow his head and admit defeat in front of our Kwantung Army... Nishimura-kun, you did a good job, I hope you will continue to work hard, in the shortest possible time, at any cost, to find out the specific time of the Northeast Field Army's troops... Gain plenty of time for me to make a big deal about the specific deployment of the Kwantung Army...", and General Umezu Mujiro, the commander of the command who received the exact information, immediately showed a confident smile on his face. Then, facing Major General Nishimura in front of him, he looked at the ropeway with an encouraging face.
"Thank you for your trust, Your Excellency, I will live up to your trust and successfully complete the task...."Seeing the encouraging smile on the commander's face, Major General Nishimura's heart was sweeter than eating honey, and he quickly replied loudly.
"Very good, Nishimura-kun, I'm here, waiting for your good news..."|The commander nodded with satisfaction and said.
In the temporary headquarters of the Northeast Field Army in Taiyuan, Li Qing, chief of staff, was excitedly reporting to Liu Hua and Luo Ronghuan on the various benefits that the troops had achieved after the announcement of the establishment of the field army. It has only been a week, and our party's offices in various localities have received donations totaling 5.6 million yuan from all over the country. What's more, the amount of various donations is still rising in a straight line..."Before the two people could react from the shock, Chief of Staff Li Qing continued..."This is not the most important thing. Since learning the news that our party is forming the Northeast Field Army and making contributions to the Northeast, the former officers and soldiers of the Northeast as well as the youths and students of the three eastern provinces have been distributed in various places. They gathered from all over the country to Taiyuan. In just one week, we received 2,459 former Northeast military officers and soldiers, 4,358 young students and young adults from all over the country. If it goes on like this, I guarantee that within a month, with those officers and men from the Northeast who came in a hurry, we will be able to re-form a main column..."
"Commander, I really didn't expect that a good show we specially prepared for the little devils would get so many benefits for no reason. I knew that there would be such a result, at the beginning, when we were in the reorganization of the army, we should have announced the news...."Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan said with a shocked face....
"There are good and bad things to everything. Maybe at this moment, Chiang Kai-shek, who was far away in Chongqing, was trying to find a way to make trouble for us and was waiting to see our jokes? Liu Hua shook his head and replied..."Commander, political commissar, anyway, now the benefits outweigh the disadvantages... What should we do with these oceans, materials, and recruits just recruited by the troops...."Chief of Staff Li Qing asked..."All the oceans and materials will be handed over to the central government for unified distribution and use where they are needed. After all, we readers have so many family backgrounds, and if we are monopolizing, we can't talk about it. Besides, after marching into the Northeast, it is impossible to take all those things with us. As for those recruits, we can't dampen their confidence in recovering the three eastern provinces. As long as it is a former soldier of the Northeast Army, it will be directly handed over to various units. They are reorganized according to their original functions. As for those students and youths, recruit training will be carried out immediately, and when the time comes, a unified assessment will be conducted, and those who pass will be integrated into the army, and those who are not qualified will continue to be trained...."Liu Hua thought for a while, and then ordered.
"Yes, Commander, and then I'll give orders to the ministries. Commander, all matters concerning the reorganization of the Northeast Field Army can now be announced, and we have already made all the announcements through various channels. The rest is only a specific time for the troops to send troops. I don't know, when we set this time, can be the best for us. Chief of Staff Li Qing nodded and continued to ask.
"When exactly will I think about it....our advance detachment will strike in about this month's time. In this way, the dispatch was scheduled for three months later... Let's give the little devils plenty of time to move their troops. And we, taking advantage of the fact that the little devils were transferring troops from all over the country and there were a large number of defensive loopholes in the entire Northeast region, interspersed all the way, directly inserted into the Changbai Mountain area, and joined forces with the Anti-Japanese Federation active in the Changbai Mountain area... Then, the two troops merged into one place, and the little devil was caught off guard...."Liu Hua said affirmatively....
"I agree with the commander that the specific time for sending troops will be set in three months. It's just, Chief of Staff, what should I do to reveal this time? You must know that the time of dispatching troops is clear to the entire field army only to commanders above the timing. Such a high-level secret, if it is leaked casually, the intelligence officers of the little devil will not believe it..."Regarding Liu Hua's proposal, political commissar Luo Ronghuan nodded thoughtfully. Then, another question came to the mind of the political commissar: "Commander, political commissar, you can rest assured of this, we have already thought of a way." In our intelligence department, a high-ranking spy of the little devil has just been captured. This time, we plan to reveal the news through his mouth, and we will definitely not show any horses' feet..."Saying the specific method, the corner of the chief of staff Li Qing's mouth immediately showed a smile, and he said confidently.
