The end of the Japanese army

In the small conference room of the Dongye headquarters, Vice Chairman Zhou, General Peng, Commander Ye Ting, the commanders of the three main divisions of the Eighth Route Army, Zhang Yunyi, chief of staff of the New Fourth Army, commander-in-chief of Liu Hua of the East Field, Chief of Staff of Luo Rongmad of the East Field, and Chief of Staff of Zuo Quan of the East Field. Several people, centered on Vice Chairman Zhou, were sitting around a huge circular table.

Glancing at the conference room in front of him, there were almost all the high-ranking generals' conference rooms. After receiving the signal from Vice Chairman Zhou, our protagonist Liu Hua slowly stood up from his seat. Then, under the gaze of everyone, he took out a telegram and spoke.

"Vice Chairman Zhou, Mr. Peng, Commander Ye, comrades, this is an important message that I have just heard from the radio signal of the Kwantung Army's mutual contact in the radio listening room of the Dongye Intelligence Section. However, at present, this news, whether for the Japanese army or for us, is still kept secret and has not been spread...... And this news is really important to the current situation of the War of Resistance in China. Therefore, without everyone's consent, I summoned all the leaders very rashly. ”。

"Comrade Liu Hua, what is the situation, so important...... Seeing Liu Hua, who rarely showed a serious look on his face in front of him, Vice Chairman Zhou also sensed the seriousness of the matter, and asked with a frown.

"The situation is like this, according to intelligence, the aircraft carriers and aircraft of the Japanese Combined Fleet and miniature submarines successfully attacked the US Navy fleet's base in Hawaii Pearl Harbor and the US Army and Navy air base on Huludao early this morning. If nothing else, the Japanese army's "plan to go south" began to be implemented. At the same time, the United States, which has always pursued neutrality, is about to enter the war because of a sneak attack by the Japanese Navy............ Liu Hua replied.

For a while, the entire conference room immediately resounded with a buzzing discussion. Even Vice Chairman Zhou, who was sitting in the center, was stunned by the earth-shattering news in Liu Hua's mouth at this moment.

Finally, after a few minutes of discussion, everyone shifted their eyes to Vice Chairman Zhou in front of them for the first time, waiting for Vice Chairman Zhou's answer.

"Comrade Liu Hua, can you ensure the accuracy of this message? The Japanese Navy really attacked the U.S. Pacific Fleet, and it won............"

"Report Week's Vice President" I assure you that this message is accurate. So far, the Japanese Combined Fleet has successfully returned home, and all bombing targets have been "turned into ruins...... under the bombing of Japanese carrier-based aircraft groups. Liu Hua replied in the affirmative.

After getting Liu Hua's affirmative answer, Vice Chairman Zhou immediately set his eyes on Mr. Peng, who was the oldest in the conference room. Then he asked.

"Lao Peng, what do you think about this matter? …”

"Vice Chairman Zhou, my experience is all on the domestic battlefield, and I am not particularly clear about foreign affairs. But "what I know is that the United States is currently the most powerful industrial empire in the world, and it is a very unwise choice for Japan to pull the United States into the battlefield at this time......" Mr. Peng shook his head and then said.

When Vice Chairman Zhou set his eyes on Ye Ting, Ye Ting also shook his head helplessly

In the end, Vice Chairman Zhou set his sights on Liu Hua. Immediately, holding on to the last glimmer of hope, he asked, "Comrade Liu Hua, what do you think of this matter?" After this incident, what kind of impact will it have on the current situation of the Anti-Japanese War in China? …”

"Report Vice Chairman Zhou, I fully agree with Mr. Peng's thoughts."

At this time, it was indeed a very unwise decision for Japan to go to war with the United States, which had the title of an industrial empire, and it could be called "an unprecedented gamble" on the fate of the entire country. ”。

Seeing that everyone nodded in agreement, Liu Hua continued to speak: "Although" For today's military operation of the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese Combined Fleet has achieved a temporary victory. However, as long as the United States starts its war machine, the ships and planes it lost in this incident will definitely be replenished in a short time. When the time comes, what awaits the Japanese Combined Fleet is the frenzied retaliation of the US Navy. Unless, the Japanese army can import a large number of army troops to Southeast Asia and other regions in a short period of time, and occupy the entire Southeast Asia and the southwestern Pacific Ocean. However, even so, after the U.S. military recovered, what awaited the Japanese Army was the same frenzied retaliation and counterattack .........." , "Also, on the battlefields of China. The millions of elite Kwantung Army troops gathered in the three eastern provinces have been besieged by the Northeast Field Army, the Soviet Far East Red Army, the Eighth Route Army, and other units, and they are unable to move, and they are simply unable to mobilize powerful troops to participate in their southward battle plan. …”

"Looking at the Japanese North China Front, which has hundreds of thousands of troops, under the siege of our Eighth Route Army, it also suffered heavy losses and had no chance to move south. As for the Central China Front, there is even less of a chance. Because, around them, there are the New Fourth Army that I am eyeing closely, the Jin Sui Army of Yan Xishan, and the ** troops in the area of Dongtiao Mountain. And their South China Front and the Shanghai Dispatch Army were directly threatened by the Kuomintang Central Army, and they were not capable of making random deployments. …”

Therefore, the two million Japanese troops stationed in China have been deeply mired in the quagmire of China's anti-Japanese battlefield. The Japanese Army had only one choice if it wanted to concentrate dozens of field divisions and regiments and launch their southward plan, and that was to reorganize the units of the New Army. And if we calculate the population base in Japan, the number of soldiers they can recruit is close to exhaustion. ”

"Therefore, here I dare to conclude that the little devils launching this military operation are tantamount to self-destruction. At the same time, the end of the little devil is slowly approaching with the start of the sneak attack battle this morning......".

"Well, that's a good ,...。" As soon as Liu Hua's words fell, Mr. Peng applauded first. followed by a look of admiration and said.

"Comrade Liu Hua, although I am your elder. However, in terms of campaign command and analysis of the world pattern, I, Peng Dehuai, admit that no matter what I say, I am not as good as you............"

Immediately afterwards, Commander Ye Ting also spoke: "Comrade Liu Hua, what you said is so good, you really woke up a person in a dream...... Vice Chairman Zhou, through Comrade Liu Hua's analysis, I also completely agree with Comrade Liu Hua's opinion, the end of the little devil, with the start of the sneak attack this morning, is coming. …”…，……，……

After everyone spoke, Vice Chairman Zhou once again set his eyes on Liu Hua in front of him. Then, he asked meaningfully.

"Comrade Liu Hua, you have a very unique insight into the analysis of the current situation. So what do you think we should do at the moment? …”

"Report Vice Chairman Zhou, I believe that we should take advantage of the favorable opportunity when the Japanese army launched a plan to move south, and there is no time to take care of us, concentrate our forces, launch a strategic counteroffensive against all Japanese troops on the Chinese battlefield, and destroy a large number of Japanese forces. At the same time, through this campaign, we can announce to the world that China is determined to oppose fascism, so as to arouse the attention of all countries to China's military strength.... Liu Hua decisively said what he had been planning for a long time.

"Huh? What's next? Vice Chairman Zhou's eyes lit up and he continued to ask.

"In the Southeast Asian and Pacific theaters, if the United States wants to deal with the steady flow of Japanese army units moving south, it must find ways to contain the limited strength of the Japanese army in other theaters. The Eighth Route Army, the New Fourth Army, and the Northeast Field Army led by our Chinese ** have contained more than one million elite ...... of the Japanese Army on the huge Chinese battlefield."

"When the time comes, we China will undoubtedly enter the sight of European and American countries. When the time comes, we can take advantage of this to ask the United States and other European and American countries to support us in providing us with a large amount of industrial equipment and developing our own heavy industry, so as to promote the modernization of our army, contain a large number of the Japanese army's vital forces, and make full preparations for the final counteroffensive. In the face of Vice Chairman Zhou's rhetorical question, Liu Hua no longer had any hesitation, and directly trayed out all the thoughts in his heart, and told them all...

For a while, a noisy discussion sounded in the conference room again. However, a few minutes later, the entire conference room, including Vice Chairman Zhou, cast a wave of appreciative glances at Liu Hua in front of them. made the commander-in-chief Liu Hua unaware of his mistake for a while.

However, at this moment, Vice Chairman Zhou said with a smile on his face, solving Liu Hua, who was currently in embarrassment.

"Comrade Liu Hua, I found that putting you in the post of commander-in-chief of Dongye is really condescending. I'm wondering if I will suggest to the Central Military Commission that you be transferred to the Central Committee to take up the post of chief of staff of the Central Military Commission after I go back.........."

"Hehehe..." As soon as Vice Chairman Zhou's words fell, a sound of good-natured laughter sounded in the conference room. ,

"Alright, comrades, let's get down to business. As for Comrade Liu Hua's proposal just now, I will report it to the Central Military Commission and submit it to the Central Military Commission for discussion in the shortest possible time. When the time comes, the Central Military Commission will directly issue the latest operational orders to everyone present. After the atmosphere in the conference room was eased to a certain extent, Vice Chairman Zhou ordered with a serious face.

"Yes,...".

"Comrade Liu Hua, now that everyone is here, can you first introduce us to the Northeast Field Army, in this counteroffensive, the specific operational goals and the ultimate strategic objectives?" Vice Chairman Zhou asked.

"Yes, Vice Chairman Zhou............" Liu Hua replied briskly. Immediately, he walked to the front of the huge combat map on the wall, pointed to the huge three eastern provinces on the map, and spoke.

"At present, the seven main armies of our Northeast Field Army, as well as all the units directly under the Field Army, totaling more than 200,000 troops, have fully formed combat effectiveness. As for the eight armies that have just been reorganized, although there is still a lack of a certain number of commanders, most of them have already been reorganized. What I mean is to pull out all the combat units, a total of 15 corps, a guard division, and a heavy artillery division, and take the initiative to attack the troops of the Kwantung Army, and treat the entire offensive process as a battlefield training ......."

"As for the specific purpose of the operation, it depends on the situation. My initial idea was to gradually compress the living space of the Kwantung Army through a step-by-step encroachment approach. In the end, it directly occupied the entire territory of Liaoning Province, the eastern part of Jilin, and the southeast of Heilongjiang, and finally, directly cut off the connection between the Kwantung Army and the Korean Front...... In addition, there was an important operational purpose, which was to take advantage of the favorable opportunity for the Japanese navy to move south and occupy a port. Open the sea communication channel between us and European and American countries........."

"What a big appetite...,... Comrade Liu Hua, it seems that your Northeast Field Army already has the strength to fight a strategic decisive battle with the Kwantung Army. How about it, is there any difficulty, when the time comes, I will let He Huzi's master cooperate and contain the hundreds of thousands of Kwantung Army troops in the area of the Great Wall at Xifengkou,...。 After a short period of shock, Mr. Peng reacted first, and then asked. Thank you, Mr. Peng, thank you, Mr. He. If there is the cooperation of the 120th Division, the chances of our army winning this counteroffensive will be even greater........." Liu Hua replied with a grateful face.

"Okay, Comrade Liu Hua, we are all ** members, we are all armed by the party leadership, and it is also appropriate to help each other, so don't be polite to me. Of course, if you really want to thank me, return all the dowry I gave you yesterday ....... Mr. Peng said with a wicked smile.

"Mr. Peng, stop, stop here...... A dowry is a dowry, help me help me, and it can't be mixed up. In a word, I must get my hands on the more than 100 commanders,...。 Liu Hua replied affirmatively, once again causing the laughter of the people in the entire conference room......

Vice Chairman Zhou waved his hand, and after the entire conference room fell into silence again, he said: "Comrades, Comrade Liu Hua has already said the analysis just now. Ever since the Japanese launched their so-called "Southbound Plan" to force the United States into the war. It is a sign that their end is coming. So, there's a lot more that we need to do. ”。

Seeing that everyone nodded in agreement, Vice Chairman Zhou continued: "Comrade Liu Hua, we have made a complete operational plan for the strategic counteroffensive that may occur in the next step based on the current situation in the three eastern provinces and the existing strength of the Northeast Field Army, which can be implemented at any time. Therefore, "I demand that the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army also not lag behind, and must come up with an operational plan in the shortest possible time" and submit it to the Central Military Commission for examination. ”。

"Yes, Vice Chairman Zhou............" several people replied in unison.

As soon as everyone's words fell, Vice Chairman Zhou continued to speak: "Comrades, time is pressing" The little devil will not leave us too much time. So "here, I ask everyone, whatever method you use, to return to your unit within ten days." As for me, I will also return to the Central Committee as soon as possible to discuss the operational plans submitted by various ministries and make a final decision, all of which are clear......."

"Clear...,......".

"Very well, now I declare, adjourn ,......。"

At the gate of Fengtian City, early in the morning, it was put under martial law by a regiment of guards. Just when the sun was just rising, Vice Chairman Zhou, Mr. Peng, Commander Ye and others, accompanied by the master Liu Hua, Luo Ronghuan, Zuo Quan and others, slowly came to the city gate. "Comrade Liu Hua, because time is pressing, I won't stay here too long. Here, I would like to give you and Comrade Qiaolin's final wishes, the white-headed old man, and the early birth of a noble son....... Holding Liu Hua's hands in front of him, Vice Chairman Zhou said excitedly.

"Thank you, Chairman Zhou Wo,......".

"Comrade Liu Hua, as for the battle plan you told us all yesterday morning, although it has not yet been approved by the Central Committee. However, I believe that with the strategic vision of the chairman, commander-in-chief and others, it is certain to approve your request for operations. Therefore, after we leave, you can start to prepare for the first stage of our army's counteroffensive against the Japanese invasion of China. After receiving the telegram order from the central authorities, they should immediately start taking action and take the Kwantung Army in the three eastern provinces by surprise. Vice Chairman Zhou continued to encourage.

"Yes, please rest assured, Vice Chairman Zhou, to ensure that the task is completed..." Liu Hua hurriedly replied.

Immediately afterwards, Mr. Peng, who was next to Vice Chairman Zhou, said: "Comrade Liu Hua, I won't say more about blessings. After I go back, I will definitely send you the dowry given to Comrade Qiaolin as soon as possible. At the same time, the 120th Division will also begin to assemble in the area of the Great Wall at Xifengkou in accordance with our discussion yesterday, so as to create a certain amount of military pressure on the defending troops of the Kwantung Army........."

"Thank you, Mr. Peng.........." Liu Hua said with a grateful face.

"Comrade Liu Hua, I, Ye Ting, am a bare pole, I have nothing to give you, and at the same time, there is nothing to help you. Therefore, on behalf of all the retired officers and men of the New Fourth Army, I wish you and Comrade Qiaolin to grow old together and give birth to a noble son early. At the same time, I wish the Northeast Field Army the final victory in the first stage of the counteroffensive,...。 Commander Ye Ting followed and spoke.

As soon as Ye Ting's words fell, Vice Chairman Zhou waved his hand and organized everyone who wanted to continue. Then, he said: "Comrades, time is pressing, if there is any superfluity, let's save it for after beating the little devils." When the time comes, the central government will definitely approve you, and you will say enough. And the most important thing in front of you now is to return to your own unit in the shortest possible time and prepare to receive new orders from the central authorities. ”。

"Yes, Vice Chairman Zhou.........".

After receiving everyone's affirmative answers, Vice Chairman Zhou immediately set his eyes on Liu Hua beside him. Then he said: "Comrade Liu Hua, as the so-called "send you a thousand miles, you must say goodbye in the end, a few of us, just come here, don't pass." I hope that the next time we meet, the War of Resistance will be finally victorious, and the little devils will be driven out of the country by us......".

"Yes, Vice Chairman Zhou......." Liu Hua replied affirmatively.

"The first regiment of the Higashino Guard Division has been assembled and can set off at any time. In addition, I transferred a motor transport battalion from the logistics department of the headquarters to be responsible for transporting the leaders to the Shanhaiguan ......... in the shortest possible time."

"Good,... Comrades, let's go ...... now. Vice Chairman Zhou nodded appreciatively. Then, very decisively ordered.

Ask for subscriptions, ask for collections, ask for monthly passes, ask for recommendation tickets, ask for rewards......... To be continued.
