Just when Lin Junshen was thinking about pulling the tail of the wild bull of the Kwantung Army and not letting go. In Zhongnanhai, Beijing, the princes of China and G are also worried about defending the nascent base area in western Liaoning.

In the West Flower Hall, there is a strong smell of second-hand smoke emitted by low-quality tobacco. Zhou Elai frowned lightly, and his fingers tapped lightly on the table. A large military map was unfolded in front of the members of the Politburo of the Central Committee. Everyone's eyes were not staring at the line of the Daling River, where the Chinese and Japanese armies faced each other, but at the mountainous area north of Jinzhou.

This mountainous area, which includes Yixian, Nanpiao, Beipiao, Chaoyang and other counties, is the freshly baked "Liaoning West Anti-Japanese ** Base Area". Moreover, the birth of this "base area" was approved by General Zhang Xueliang, commander of the Northeast Theater of Operations

At today's military meeting, Zhang Xueliang readjusted the defensive deployment of Jinzhou's front line in accordance with the suggestion of Chief of Staff Deng Yanda. Jinzhou and the mountainous areas of western Liaoning were divided into two defense areas, north and south, and the responsibility of guarding the northern defense area was entrusted to the Eighth Route Army and the Seventeenth Route Army. And this northern defense area is the mountainous area of western Liaoning, which covers the flank of the frontal defense line of the Daling River in Jinzhou, and once it is captured by the Japanese army, Jinzhou will not be able to hold on. Similarly, this mountainous area is also the choke point for the elite troops of China and G to enter and exit the Northeast, if the North Japanese army controls the mountainous area of western Liaoning, then the only way for China and G to enter the Northeast is to detour through the Rehe, take the Xilamulun River, or cross the Daxing'an Mountains into Jilin.

"The base area of Liaoxi is something we must defend, as long as Liaoxi is in hand, the real Liaodong will be ours sooner or later" Zhou Elai slapped his eyes on the map with blazing eyes.

Mao ZD tightened his eyebrows, and nodded lightly Liaoxi must be guarded, otherwise it will be a long detour to enter and exit the northeast. He looked at the southern end of the Daxing'an Mountains on the map and looked at it for a while, and finally shook his head Liaoxi, and when this piece of fat got into his mouth, there was no reason to spit it out again. It's just that...... This Liaoxi is law-abiding, and it still needs to be discussed. ”

Taking the base area in western Liaoning as a springboard for entering and leaving the northeast, dispatching elite troops to continuously infiltrate behind enemy lines, and opening up anti-Japanese base areas in the vast rural and mountainous areas of the northeast was originally the established strategy of the Central and G. But they never imagined that they would soon start a main battle with the Japanese army in the mountains of western Liaoning.

I didn't expect that the Japanese would not eat the fat of Beiman, but put the main force in western Liaoning, and it seemed that the Northeast Army and the Central G would be driven out of the Northeast

Now Liaoxi must be defended, but at the same time, the strength of the Japanese army, all of you here have already learned through the offensive and defensive battle of the Daling River on 1 October

The room was silent, except for the sound of Zhou Elai's fingers unconsciously tapping on the table.

"If you really can't pull the Fourth Route Army up? 150,000 people should be able to hold on. ”

Mao ZD glanced at Zhou Elai, and a trace of anxiety flashed on his face, so that he could fight hard so that the Kuomintang could come north and replace him? ”

"I'm not afraid that the troops can be rebuilt. To be honest, we Chinese are not lacking. As long as the weapons and ammunition can keep up, the army can be formed in a steady stream. And the weapons and ammunition ...... The Kuomintang will give it to us. At present, they are also plotting in the northeast, and the North Manchurian Anti-Japanese Federation is that they are playing tricks behind their backs, but the Anti-Japanese Federation has just been formed, the territory has not been consolidated, the internal has not been straightened out, and the troops have not been expanded. All of this is needed, and only the Battle of Jinzhou can help them fight for it. So they will definitely pay for us to fight, as long as the battle of Jinzhou does not end for a day, their weapons and ammunition will not be broken for a day, this is also an opportunity"

Zhou Elai just looked at Mao ZD and slowly said his plan.

Mao ZD smiled coldly, and squeezed out a sentence E from between his teeth, don't you worry about the anti-union being big and difficult to clean up? The voice passed by, and the tone was solemn......

Zhou Elai was shocked when he heard this. Only then did I remember that the current Northeast is another Three Kingdoms Chronicle of "enemies, me, and friends". Now that the Japanese are not running away, the Central G and the Kuomintang are still friendly forces, and when the Japanese are gone, the Central G and the Kuomintang are a battle of life and death, not only in the Northeast, but also in the whole country

At this time, Zhou Elai could only nod silently, but what he said was that the Battle of Jinzhou seemed to be more auspicious, but we GCD people have a responsibility to fulfill, to let the people of the whole country see clearly, who is really fighting Japan"

Mao ZD nodded coldly...... Where is the main direction of attack of the Japanese? ”

……

The figure on the ground flashed, and an artillery mirror was slowly erected, swaying from side to side to bring all the situation on the west bank of the Daling River into view. It was the position of the Northeast Army, and after a few days, the Northeast Army there carried out a large-scale expansion and reinforcement on the basis of the original defensive position. A continuous trench was constructed, and layers of deer and horses were set up. The entire west bank of the Daling River has been turned into a complete defensive zone that stretches across the river. All of the vantage points looked like they had been converted into heavily armed fire points, with enough machine guns to block the entire front with cross-beam fire, although the artillery positions could not be seen. However, the offensive and defensive battle on 1 October had already taught the Japanese army the power of the artillery of the Northeast Army. There were only a few figures on this front that were occasionally moving, and it seemed to be quiet, but there was a thick murderous aura

The person who looked through the artillery mirror was the commander of the Japanese Kwantung Army, General Takashi Hishigari. In the past few days, the staff officers of the Kwantung Army and the division commanders on the front line have constantly suggested to him that he should change his original plan to break through the Dalinghe defense line of the Northeast Army head-on, because this defense line is simply difficult to break through His face is pale, and it seems that after seeing the opponent's defense with his own eyes, he has also approved the analysis of his subordinates. A group of staff officers lay down in the trenches, and when they saw their commander's sad face, they all unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. On the opposite side, there is also the 100-meter-wide Daling River, as well as a series of highlands on the west bank of the Daling River...... In everyone's eyes, it is stronger than the Lushun fortress in the Russo-Japanese War, and if you fight with your life, you will have to die at least 50,000 or 60,000.

"Miyake-kun, who's guarding the defense zone there? Is the defense tight? Ryokari moved his body, which had become a little stiff because he had remained in the same position, and raised his hand to ask the chief of staff Miyake Koji beside him, pointing to a mountain field looming in the distance.

"Your Excellency, it is the Songling Mountains in western Liaoning, and it is found that the Eighth Route Army and the Seventeenth Route Army, which are the descendants of the central government of China, are defending there. Their total strength was about 100,000 men, of which the Eighth Route Army was very strong in combat, and they were the ones who led the battle on 1 October. However, the defenses there were not too tight, and there were no defensive strips as deep as on the west bank of the Daling River, but defenders were deployed at major junctions and towns. ”

Ryokari Long smiled faintly and looked down on Jinzhou City in the Songling Mountains, as long as this highland was captured, Jinzhou would be self-defeating...... After taking Jinzhou, it will be difficult for the North Manchurian Anti-Japanese Federation to make waves. Miyake-kun, our breakthrough direction is in the Matsuling area. Only diversionary attacks were carried out along the Daling River. ”

Miyake Mitsuji was high, hesitated for a while, and said again, Your Excellency, the commander of the Fourth Division, Lin Mi, has just sent a telegram. ”

Ryokari nodded with a smile Oh, it's Lin Mi, this impatient must want to attack Beiman, right? It was indeed a bit of a waste to leave his Fourth Division in the rear without a lot of words. He thought about it and ordered Lin Mi Sanji to sweep away the forces that disobeyed the empire in Jilin and Liaodong with the strength of a brigade. But don't fight with the North Manchurian Anti-Union for the time being, and it's not too late to clean them up after the Battle of Jinzhou. ”

Miyake Koji shook his head, and handed a telegram he had just received to Ryokari Takashi Lin Yajun had already returned some of the weapons to Puyi's An**, and was ready to use the strength of a brigade and 20,000 An** to go north to meet the southbound Chinese anti-coalition forces. ”

“？” Ryokari exclaimed in surprise in a low voice, and hurriedly reached for his nose-clamping glasses and looked at them carefully.

Hayashi Mi Sanji's request is clear. The Anti-Japanese Union in North Manchuria sent a force to cross the Songhua River to the south, seized the territory of two counties, and threatened to attack Jilin and Changchun, but if they did not strike, they were afraid that the situation in Jilin Province would become more and more chaotic. Therefore, Lin Mi Sanji decided to use An **, who was loyal to Puyi, to attack together with the Eighth Brigade to which the Fourth Division belonged......

Ling Kalong looked faint, frowned and said This Lin Mi should not be a meritorious person, I can't wait to attack Harbin, right? There are not many words" He shook his head and ordered that the Fourth Division and An ** were not allowed to cross the Songhua River to fight...... Tell Lin Mi that the future North Manchurian strategy will definitely allow the Fourth Division to play the vanguard."

……

Wuhan, East Lake.

In Luo Yaoguo's Beilu Mansion, in the living room, everyone sat opposite each other, and there was only a cup of tea for guests.

Coming in a hurry tonight were Sun Ke, minister of armaments of the Nationalist Government, and Wang Jingwei, minister of foreign affairs.

It is also a shame not to declare war on Japan, because the territory of the country has been invaded by Japan, but it does not dare to declare war openly. He even asked the League of Nations to investigate...... It seems that this national government is reactionary after all

These days, Luo Yaoguo is busy fighting behind enemy lines...... And the ordinary bigwigs in Wuhan were hesitant to decide whether to declare war on Japan. Basically, the civil and opposition forces shouted for a declaration of war, while the princes on the stage and the monopoly chaebols who supported them opposed the immediate declaration of war against Japan on the grounds that the navy was weak and that China's foreign trade would be cut off by the Japanese navy once war was declared. Major imports, including oil and machinery and equipment, had to be cut off, the Nationalist Government's heavy industry plan and the Ministry of Armaments' oil reserve plan were all in vain, and Japan, which had now been sanctioned by Britain, the United States, France and the Netherlands, had to import all strategic goods from the Soviet Union. Declaring war or not declaring war will not have much effect on them.

After the two of them finished speaking, the living room was quiet. Luo Yaoguo held the teacup and stared blankly at the hot air coming out of the cup. No one can declare war now, but who will say it? Who said that...... Whoever is a traitor and traitor, someone else has a handle just to drive you out of power. So now several people on the stage are silent about this matter, but the princes in the audience are making foolish noise.

It's a bit of a problem......

Look at Luo Yaoguo, Sun Da couldn't sit still a little. Whether it is the heavy industry plan or the oil reserve plan, it is the business of his armaments department, he patted the table lightly, but you can tell me, whether this war is declared or not? ”

Luo Yaoguo glanced at him. This state is not easy to express, and now there is no such thing as saying it at home, but once you say it in public, it will stink

He nodded with a calm face, and put down the small teacup in his hand, Zhao Ming. Everyone knows that war cannot be declared. The next few years will be a critical moment for the construction of our heavy industry and strategic material reserves, and we will not be able to do it once we declare war. And we don't have a border with the Japanese, even if it's a declaration of war...... It is impossible to defeat them without sea supremacy. So this battle ...... It must not be announced, and it will take a few years to declare it. The question now is not whether to declare war or not, but how to make the people really want to resist Japan." Aren't we now blocked by GCD's turf and can't reach the anti-Japanese battlefield? I think we can start negotiations with GCD to form a unified anti-Japanese coalition government. ”

Sun Kehuo Ran stood up, with a look of disdain GCD to unite with us? It's already polite that we don't destroy them."

Wang Jingwei also faintly agreed, and said that this Japanese invasion was not because GCD provoked a civil war and pulled the Northeast Army into the pass? Speaking of which, they are the culprits."

Looking at their performance, Luo Yaoguo was also a little speechless, a Japanese and a GCD, and now they are all ...... in the south He smiled bitterly, this is forbearance and seeking the country, and everyone can understand the painstaking efforts of the national government. Besides, the negotiations for the formation of an anti-Japanese coalition government could not be negotiated overnight. Maybe talk about the last ten years or eight years...... Isn't the topic of this declaration of war shifted?

Sun Ke sighed lightly and sat down slowly, looking like he had approved of Luo Yaoguo's suggestion. But Wang Jingwei beside him had a strange look, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.

Luo Yaoguo smiled lightly and said that Zhaoming has any suggestions, don't skip words.

"This ......" Wang Jingwei glanced at Luo Yaoguo, gritted his teeth, and lowered his voice a little, Since we can negotiate with GCD, why can't we negotiate with the Japanese? They did not divide and annex Manchuria now, but only installed a governor of the three eastern provinces. He smiled coldly, this Pu Yi was fostered by the Japanese...... GCD was fostered by the Soviets, and they made a difference between not skipping words.

A trace of disdain flashed on Luo Yaoguo's face, and he said coldly that now GCD is resisting Japan......"

……

Liaoxi, Yixian.

The sound of artillery rumbled, blowing up the position of the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side into smoke and smoke. More than a dozen mountain artillery guns were placed on the spot, and the shell shells were already beaten like a hill, and the Japanese gunners stripped off their arms, loaded a daze shell into the barrel, and then pulled the line of fire and fired the shell.

The officers and men of the Japanese invaders, with squadrons as units, formed a series of attacking skirmish lines, and under the cover of artillery, grenadiers, and machine guns, they constantly attacked various positions around Yixian. And on every hill, the officers and soldiers of the Eighth Route are desperately resisting. In the end, it turned into hand-to-hand combat. Either the Japanese army was driven back, or the high ground was captured and the banner of the rising sun was raised.

Beginning on 11 October, on the battlefield in western Liaoning, it was the turn of the Japanese army, which had completed its adjustment, to launch an attack. To everyone's surprise, the Japanese did not go to the front of the defense line carefully constructed by the Northeast Army to break the bloodshed, but focused their attack on the mountainous area of western Liaoning, north of Jinzhou. Yixian, sandwiched between Songling and Yiwulu Mountain, became the first target of the Japanese army's major attack

At this time, Yixian had just been taken over by the 22nd Division of the elite Eighth Route Army of the Central G, which was the vanguard of the First Battle of Dalinghe on October 1, with losses of more than 4,000 people. However, the combat power was still severely discounted. In particular, the 43rd Brigade of the front line of the Daling River in the northeast of Yixian County...... As a result, the Japanese army was defeated in a night attack last night, and the first line of defense to defend the ** base area was lost, and the Japanese army took the lead from the beginning

However, the Eighth Route Army and the Seventeenth Route Army, which were in a passive position, could not turn around and run, and gave the belly and back of the Northeast Army to the bayonets of the Japanese, so that not only would the situation of the Battle of Jinzhou completely collapse, but also the newly born anti-Japanese base area in western Liaoning would not be guaranteed. This base area is a gathering place for Manchu compatriots, and the emperor Lao Tzu of the people in Shenyang City is not just fighting the landlords, just dividing the land, and the problem is complicated...... It doesn't make sense at all for a few months.

At this time, Wang Erzhuo and his 22nd Division naturally had no choice but to grit their teeth and rely on the mountainous areas around Yixian County to resist desperately and strive for the consolidation of the entire base area in western Liaoning. Everywhere there is a fight to the death. Although the Japanese army has strong firepower and good combat effectiveness, it is not easy to play in this continuous mountainous area, and can only gnaw little by little. The two sides fought to the death and attacked to the death, and they were both tenacious and tenacious. In the past few days, the entire Yixian area has become a sea of blood, and every position seized by the Japanese army is surrounded by corpses from both sides, but it is far from the time for the collapse of the 22nd Division.
