At this moment, in the office of the Central Military Commission in Taiyuan City, the chairman, Vice Chairman Zhou, and the commander-in-chief are sitting in their positions, looking at their hands with a pensive face, Liu Hua and Luo Ronghuan, who have just reported on the formation of the anti-Japanese advance detachment..."Boss, you are the supreme commander of the army led by us, you can first tell me, Liu Hua and Luo Ronghuan, the feasible surnames of this combat plan, how big is it, is it really as the report says, The action of the advance detachment to advance into the northeast is related to the overall situation of the entire field army advancing into the northeast...."The chairman first broke the silence of the entire office, shifted his gaze from the documents on the table to the boss next to him, and then asked....

"Lao Mao, how can I answer your question... Let me put it this way, if the advance detachment successfully advances to the northeast, gets in touch with the Anti-Japanese Federation, and successfully gains a foothold in the rear of the little devils. Then I am here, I can be responsible for saying that our Northeast Field Army, 100,000 troops marching into the Northeast, there will be no problem....However, if this operation fails, then the nearly one million troops in the three eastern provinces will definitely be aware of it, and then, they will prepare a shocking net in the three eastern provinces, waiting for the nearly 100,000 troops of our Northeast Field Army to drill into their pockets...."The commander-in-chief said....

"It seems that this plan is very suspenseful. Boss, if we don't send an advance detachment, when the time comes, the 100,000 troops will directly march into the three eastern provinces and fight all the way, what will be the result? As soon as the head office leader finished speaking, Vice Chairman Zhou followed up and asked..."Just like the telegram said, the first thing our Northeast Field Army has to face is the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Japanese army, and an iron wall prepared for us... As the whereabouts and purpose of the main force are revealed, the Kwantung Army Headquarters will definitely deploy a large number of troops to encircle, pursue and intercept us along the way. It can be said that the whole process is just like the scene that our Red Army faced after crossing the Xiangjiang River after a bloody battle... Although, with the current combat strength of the Northeast Field Army, it is absolutely capable of breaking through the defense line of the Chinese army. However, when the time comes to meet with the Anti-Japanese Alliance, I think that the entire Northeast Field Army will also become greatly weakened..."The commander-in-chief continued.

"Bloody battle on the Xiangjiang River, let the Northeast Field Army have another long march....no, no matter what, we can't let the 100,000 elite Northeast Field Army embark on this old road..." Hearing the bloody battle on the Xiangjiang River, I witnessed with my own eyes nearly 100,000 Red Army commanders and fighters, and after several months of continuous fighting, the chairman and Vice Chairman Zhou, who had been sharply reduced to more than 10,000 people, immediately changed their faces and vetoed with certainty.

"Lao Mao, Enlai, since we don't want the 100,000 commanders and fighters of the Northeast Field Army to re-embark on the old road of the Long March, then we will agree to this battle plan. However, there is one thing that we must discuss. It is about Comrade Liu Hua who took the initiative to ask Ying to serve as the commander of the advance detachment. If you want me to say, Comrade Liu Hua is, after all, the supreme commander of the entire field army, how can he leave the main force behind and serve as the leader of the commando team? Seeing the faces of the two partners, the boss continued....

"In principle, I also do not agree with Liu Hua as the commander of this advance detachment. However, after learning the important surname of the advance detachment's operation, I really couldn't find a single person in the entire Northeast Field Army who could replace Comrade Liu Hua as the head of this detachment... Just like Liu Hua himself said, only when he personally served as this commander could the advance detachment achieve the final victory... Therefore, I completely agree with Comrade Liu Hua's suggestion. As for the security issues you just mentioned. With the special operations brigade in hand, there is absolutely nothing to do with safety...."The chairman said with a resolute face..."I agree with the chairman's opinion, and I believe that the entire advance detachment, under the leadership of Comrade Liu Hua, will definitely achieve a lot of unexpected results for us...."Vice Chairman Zhou also said with a resolute face..."As the so-called Zhu Mao is not separated, Lao Mao, I also agree with this suggestion, and hand over nearly 10,000 commanders and fighters of the advance detachment to Liu Hua's hands, I can rest assured...."The commander-in-chief also immediately affirmed....

"Unanimous vote, chairman, boss, I will immediately give Comrade Liu Hua a response, let him start to set up an advance detachment, ready to set off at any time...."Vice Chairman Zhou finally said... In a blink of an eye, a month passed, and with the consent of the Central Military Commission, the advance detachment of the Northeast Anti-Japanese War began to be formed under Liu Hua's order... Nearly 1,000 members of the special operations brigade have been continuously trained and selected for a month. Of all the combat personnel drawn from all regiments of the army, a total of 3,249 were retained to form this advance detachment of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Resistance. Of course, among the more than 3,000 commanders and fighters, only the commanders and fighters from the northeast account for more than half of the number....

"Report to the commander, political commissar, the second round of training and screening was successfully completed, of which 3,294 soldiers were successfully selected and became a member of the advance detachment advancing to the northeast...."On the huge training ground outside the city, Liu Xiaogang, the captain of the special operations team, quickly ran to Liu Xiaogang, who had just walked to the door, and replied loudly..."Comrade Liu Xiaogang, your special operations brigade is really good at picking people, more than 10,000 soldiers, in less than a month, you have brushed off more than half of the troops... Tell me and the commander what kind of soldiers are there among the more than 3,000 people? Looking at the training in front of him, although the weather at this moment is still very cold, the captain of the special operations team who still has beads of sweat on his face, that is, Liu Xiaogang, who served as the commander-in-chief of the soldier screening this time, said.

"Report to the commander, political commissar, and special operations brigade to ensure that all personnel are selected in strict accordance with the indicators specified by the commander, please rest assured that the commander's political commissar ..."It seems that you are planning to transfer the problem to us." Tell you, I've heard some of the eliminated soldiers complain that these soldiers under your command usually suffer too much at your hands. This time, I was finally able to train others, so I sprinkled all the resentment in my heart on these soldiers...."Regarding Liu Xiaogang's answer, Liu Hua said with a smile

Seeing that Liu Xiaogang wanted to explain something, Liu Hua waved his hand and continued: "Okay, although this kind of training, the soldiers are very hard. However, this time, as an outpost of the whole army, we were going to fight in a place where we were not familiar with our lives, so in order to be responsible for the safety of the lives of the soldiers, such training was nothing... Let's go, let's talk as we go, you tell me, what kind of troops do these more than 3,000 soldiers have?"

"Commander, commissar, counted. Among the more than 3,000 people, including 2,568 infantry, 246 artillery, 120 armored soldiers, and the remaining hundreds of soldiers, including cavalry, communications troops, and engineers....In a word, among these more than 3,000 commanders and fighters, there are all the existing arms of our field army...."Liu Xiaogang said as he walked....

"Okay, with these elites, plus your special operations team. At that time, as long as we enter the three eastern provinces, we will have a convergence with the Anti-Japanese Federation. We can lay down a base in the three eastern provinces in the shortest possible time, and then welcome the arrival of the main force...."Liu Hua's eyes showed a hint of sharpness, and he replied excitedly....

In the blink of an eye, the group had walked into the huge training ground. Because the troops have just gone through a round of competition. At this moment, more than 3,000 commanders and fighters, under the leadership of their respective instructors, are sitting on the training ground in a scattered manner with companies as units, constantly panting and gasping for breath. It can be seen that in the big competition just now, the fatigue of these commanders and fighters....

"Commander, because the troops have not yet been systematically reorganized, plus they have just undergone training, it is a bit chaotic. You see, will the troops be assembled immediately..."Liu Xiaogang said..."No need, I came here with the political commissar today to take a look at the situation of the soldiers after the second round of training and elimination. Let's let the soldiers continue to rest....However, now there is a more important task that you and your special operations team need to complete" Liu Hua shook his head and continued..."Commander, is the unit about to set off. In order to select these fighters, the special operations team trained for more than a month. Now the entire special operations brigade, almost everyone is screaming and wanting to go out of the customs to fight devils, and it is not right to fight the Kwantung Army outside the customs... In my office, there are a lot of petitions from the soldiers...."Hearing that there was a task, Liu Xiaogang immediately asked excitedly as if he had taken a stimulant.

"It seems that today I am going to disappoint our Captain Liu again. However, I promise, in a month at most, I promise to take you out of the customs, march into the three eastern provinces, and enter the lair of the little devil Kwantung Army. Liu Hua smiled and said, "Commander, what is your mission for our special operations team?" Suddenly, Liu Xiaogang was like a defeated rooster, lowered his head and asked...

"Task? Didn't you just say that? It's the more than 3,000 warriors you have chosen in front of you. The request of me and the political commissar is very simple, give you a week's time, according to the strengths of each soldier, and reorganize the more than 3,000 fighters in front of me into two combat detachments. As for the specific mode, it's the same as your special operations team. After the reorganization of the unit is completed, a two-week run-in training will be conducted. Then, the troops can be on standby at any time, waiting for the order of the headquarters, and preparing to go to battle...."Liu Hua's face immediately became serious, and then, he said affirmatively...

"Yes, commander, political commissar, all commanders and fighters of the special operations brigade, guarantee the completion of the task, please rest assured, commander, political commissar...."After getting the specific time for the troops to go out, Liu Xiaogang, who was still decadent just now, once again showed an excited look on his face. Without any hesitation, loudly assured....

"Very good, then I and the political commissar, but we are waiting for your good news..."After speaking, the two left the huge training ground, returned to the temporary headquarters, and began to discuss the advance detachment, the specific time and path of sending troops....

"Your Excellency the Commander of the Report, Minister of Special Intelligence, Taikubo Junjiro Osa has important matters that need to be reported to you personally...."At this moment, the commander of the Kwantung Army, General Umezu Mijiro, who already has more than one million soldiers, is standing in front of a huge military map, thinking about the specific situation of nearly a million Kwantung Army troops moving westward and attacking Siberia....And at this moment, the orderly next to him pushed open the door of his office and whispered, interrupting himself who was falling into thinking.

"Nani? Special Intelligence Service, could it be that the Soviet Red Army in the Far East has made some major moves? Quick, please come in for a long time...."General Umezu Mijiro's brows immediately condensed into a river. Then, he sorted out his military uniform, sat back on his own work, and ordered....

"Hey, Your Excellency Commander...."In less than ten seconds, the head of the Special Intelligence Department, Gunjiro Osa, pushed the door and entered the office, and then hurriedly stood in front of the commander and said with an anxious face.

"Report to Your Excellency Commander, the Interception Department of the Special Intelligence Department, in the course of two months, has detected a large number of radio signals coming and going between North China and the Far East of the Soviet Union. After more than a month of cracking by our intelligence department, we learned that the Soviet Red Army was engaged in a large-scale transaction with the Eighth Route Army in North China, and this transaction was very harmful to our Kwantung Army. ”

"Nani? The USSR traded with [***] ... Could it be that the Soviet Union asked the Eighth Route Army led by [***] in North China to send troops to Manchuria to contain the Kwantung Army of our empire..."Glancing at the military map in front of him, and looking at the Eighth Route Army and the Soviet Red Army in the Far East on the map, the commander General Umezu Mijiro couldn't help but say in shock....

"Hi, Your Excellency Commander. After our cracking, we learned that the Soviet Far East Red Army, at the cost of a large number of aircraft, tanks and various weapons production equipment, in exchange for [***] sent 100,000 elite troops of the Eighth Route Army to Manchuria to enter the rear of our Kwantung Army, contain the strength of our Kwantung Army, and sabotage the battle plan of our Kwantung Army to advance westward into Siberia...."

"Baga, the cunning Eighth Route Army, the cunning Zhukov....How did I forget that to the south of us, there are still nearly a million Eighth Route Army, which are looking at us with fierce eyes, ready to pounce and bite us fiercely. Bage Yalu, it seems that before the Eighth Route Army is resolved, we say that the plan of the Kwantung Army of this empire to advance westward is going to be postponed...."After getting the confirmation of the intelligence staff officer in front of him, the commander General Umezu Mijiro couldn't help but say angrily loudly, which was used to vent the dissatisfaction and anger in his heart at this moment....

However, in a matter of moments, the commander, General Umezu Mijiro, quickly regained his senses. Then, he ordered loudly to the Taikubo army Jiro Osa in front of him: "No matter what, we can't watch the 500,000 Soviet Red Army in the Far East and nearly one million troops of the Eighth Route Army in North China unite. Pass on my order, the aviation troops, immediately dispatch reconnaissance planes, must find all kinds of supplies for the Soviet Union to support the Eighth Route Army, no matter what the cost, they must destroy them on the road, absolutely not a single bullet must be allowed to enter the area controlled by the Eighth Route Army, and must destroy their deals...."

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander. However, almost two months have passed since we heard the radio signal and deciphered the entire telegram. If nothing else, in the intervening two months, the Soviet Union has completed the deal with the Eighth Route Army. However, this needs to be confirmed by our intelligence services. After all, it is impossible for so many weapons, as well as combat planes to fight two, to suddenly enter the defense area of the Eighth Route Army without attracting the attention of our intelligence personnel...."The head of the special intelligence department replied cautiously.

"Yo Xi, what you said makes a lot of sense. Orderly, immediately inform the chief of staff and the chief of the intelligence section, come to my office, quickly...."The commander nodded with satisfaction at the suggestion of Taijiujun in front of him, and then, to the orderly guarding the door of his office, he ordered loudly....

"Nishimura-kun, this is the information that the Special Intelligence Department heard through the radio. The Eighth Route Army in North China is conducting large-scale transactions with the Soviet Red Army in the Far East, preparing to unite against the Kwantung Army units of our empire. I don't know if your intelligence officers have found any abnormal behavior of the Eighth Route Army in North China in the past month or so...."Looking at the panting Major General Nishimura Toshio and the commander General Umezu Mijiro, the head of the intelligence division in front of him, he handed over the information in his hand and asked with a serious face....

Faced with the questioning of the commander General Umezu Mijiro, Major General Nishimura did not dare to have any slackness, quickly took over the information, and began to browse quickly. However, I don't know if I don't look at it, but when I look at it, beads of sweat the size of beans begin to appear on Major General Nishimura's forehead.

Because, a month ago, I had already received some information from the intelligence officers in North China that the Eighth Route Army in North China had carried out a large-scale transfer, and that the surrounding areas of Taiyuan City in North China had been divided into military restricted areas. However, because the Eighth Route Army's secrecy measures were so good, Major General Nishimura, who did not find out the specific reason, did not find out the seriousness of the problem, so he did not report it.

And today, after reading the situation in hand, I will compare some specific dates on the newspaper. The various information he had received in front of him was immediately solved....Thinking of this, Major General Nishimura's heart began to worry about his mistakes.
