After receiving the news, Chen Feng urgently convened a meeting of military and political officials in Chongqing to discuss the matter. When Chen Feng informed the bigwigs of the news that the Japanese army was withdrawing troops to Korea and Southeast Asia, everyone was stunned, and then the whole conference room resounded with excited cheers.

Chen Feng understands the mood of these bigwigs very well, after fighting for so many years, and now he finally sees the hope of victory, how can he not be excited?

After everyone had vented their excitement, Chen Feng signaled everyone to be quiet, and then got up and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, although there are many signs that the Japanese are withdrawing their troops from the Chinese battlefield, the direction of the Japanese army in North China and Northeast China is Korea, and the Japanese army in Central and South China is preparing to withdraw to the Indochina Peninsula and other colonies in Southeast Asia. However, after all, this is only a conclusion reached by our intelligence department on the basis of the information in our hands, and it is wishful thinking, and it is still inconclusive as to what the Japanese think. ”

"Japs are rabbits' tails – they can't grow! This time, the Japanese evacuated overseas Chinese in Liaodong, and at the same time, most factories and enterprises also followed the overseas Chinese to North Korea, which is a very strong signal, and the Japanese will definitely not be able to hold on. Moreover, judging from the current battlefield situation, the time is ripe for our army's all-out counteroffensive, if it were not for the Japanese army in central China suddenly concentrating all its strength to launch an attack on Chongqing, I am afraid that our army would have reached Wuhan now, and if the Japanese were not stupid, they would definitely withdraw from the Chinese battlefield before our army launched a full-scale counteroffensive, otherwise it would be too late to withdraw when our main naval force returned to the mainland! Mao Runzhi said.

"Brother Runzhi has a point, the Japanese are going to withdraw nine times out of ten. But what do we do? Is it chasing or waiting to see what happens? He Yingqin asked the voices of everyone present.

Chen Feng thought for a while and said: "If the Japanese really want to withdraw their troops from the Chinese battlefield, then our reaction is nothing more than two kinds, one is to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and the other is to wait and see what happens. Although the pursuit of victory may cause certain casualties, it can eliminate a large amount of vitality of the Japanese puppet army, which will be conducive to our next operations on the Indochina Peninsula and the whole of Southeast Asia. ”

"Watching the changes also has the advantage of watching the changes, the old saying is that the rabbit is in a hurry and bites, if we are in a hurry, I am not sure that the Japanese will burn a jade with us. The safest way is for us to follow the Japanese and take over the territory. They retreat one kilometer, and we advance one kilometer until all the territory is recovered. ”

He Yingqin said: "What should we do with the idea of commissioning, there are pros and cons to advance and retreat!" ”

Chen Feng said: "The army should have sharp spirit, and it is advisable to chase after the poor." Don't sell your name as a scholar. Taking advantage of your illness to kill you is a bit unauthentic. But it is militarily feasible. The Japanese have been in power in China for five or six years, and if they are allowed to withdraw their troops from China so calmly now, where will the face of our people be placed? Where will the face of the 40,000,000 people in China be placed, so we absolutely cannot allow the Japanese to withdraw from China intact, and the dignity of the Han nation will never be trampled on by anyone, especially a militarist country like Japan. ”

"In addition, there is a very real problem, that is, the Japanese have plundered a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry from China in recent years, and some of them have been transferred to Japan, but some of them are still intercepted in China, and we must not give the Japanese time to rush to transport materials and gold and silver treasures, so my opinion is to fight, resolutely defeat the arrogance of the Japanese, and keep all of them in China."

"It's good to say 'it is advisable to chase the poor bravely, not to sell the name of the overlord', it is like this, it's time for a full-scale decisive battle with the Japanese. Now that their minds are all about how to escape back to Japan, their morale must be very low. The higher the morale, the higher the combat effectiveness, and vice versa, I support the opinion of the solemn brother, and resolutely fight to the death with the Japanese! Mr. Mao said loudly.

Chen Feng suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and accidentally remembered the sentence 'It is advisable to chase the poor bravely, and you can't sell your name as a scholar overlord' Isn't it a classic poem of this one, but he didn't expect that he would blatantly plagiarize in front of the original work, and he also won the appreciation of the original author.

After this period of war against Japan, all the senior officers present here have a very clear understanding of the gap in military strength between China and Japan, that is, China today is no longer the China of a few years ago, or even a few months ago, and China now is no worse than the Japanese in terms of the quantity and quality of its troops.

Coupled with the fact that China has a large land and a large population, a large land and a large number of resources, and a large population means a large number of soldiers, a large number of resources, and a large number of soldiers, coupled with advanced training methods, it is actually very easy to build a strong army. Moreover, China fought a civil war that lasted for 34 years and a war of resistance against Japan that lasted for another five years, and there were many qualified soldiers.

Compared to the Japanese, there is nothing to praise at all, except for the Meiji Restoration, which accumulated a little bit of family foundation. There are no resources, no energy, and some people are just people who are dazzled by the spirit of bushido, and it is already a miracle that they can hold on for so many years.

After so many years of war, Japan, from the imperial family to the common people, is already at the end of their power, and they simply have no strength to continue fighting, so all the senior officers and the Japanese army present here no longer have the fear they had a few years ago. There is just endless hatred.

On November 3, 1942, Chen Feng issued an order for the last battle against the Japanese invaders, requiring the Northeast Theater, North China Theater, Central China Theater, South China Theater, and Southwest Theater bordering the Japanese defense zone to concentrate all available armed forces and launch a comprehensive counteroffensive against the Japanese army.

At the same time, Chen Feng also pointed out in particular that there was no operational plan for this campaign, and all troops only needed to move forward, and when they encountered a city that could not be defeated, they would bypass it, continue to advance, and leave the hard bones there to gnaw at the most.

After receiving Chen Feng's order, the various theaters quickly carried it out, and more than 3 million troops, 5,400 tanks, 28,000 artillery pieces of various calibers, and 4,000 fighters were all dispatched on the front line.

The fierce reaction of the Chinese government Ling Japanese side was extremely angry, according to the idea of the Japanese army base camp, our Great Japanese Empire has decided to withdraw troops, you Chinese should accept it when you see it, so you do not hesitate to think that our Imperial Japanese Army is easy to bully.

In this way, many Japanese divisions, brigades, and regiments were so angry that they completely forgot the order of the Chinese Dispatch Army Headquarters to retreat quickly, and some of them retreated while fighting, while others simply stayed in the big cities to block the Chinese troops who came to pursue them.

This is the fulfillment of Chen Feng's wish, Chen Feng's idea is very simple, no matter whether he can eat it now or not, as long as it remains on the Chinese territory, it is his Chen's own food.

China and Japan fought to the death on the Chinese battlefield, and the United States, Britain, and other countries were overjoyed and also had a deeper understanding of the combat effectiveness of Chen Feng's troops.

On November 25, after more than 20 days of fighting, the Japanese army finally withdrew more than half of the expatriates and 60 percent of the enterprises in the northeast to Korea, and there were only less than five divisions left to fight and withdraw.

To tell the truth, the performance of the Kwantung Army in the process of withdrawing troops this time is indeed remarkable, because the Kwantung Army acted early, and there is a perfect combat plan, so the withdrawal time is very short, but the effect is surprisingly good, this is also the most outstanding battle fought by the Japanese army in 1942.

Although the Japanese army in the northeast withdrew quickly and cleanly, not only the army withdrew, but even the vast majority of the expatriates and puppet troops also withdrew, and those who did not withdraw became prisoners. But the Japanese troops in Central China were not so lucky, they were resounding, but because there were too many troops and expatriates, there were not so many ships to retreat for a while.

In addition, the situation of the enemy in Central China is the same as that in the Northeast, where the Japanese have been operating for more than ten years, and the road to Korea is very smooth, and no one dares to intercept the Japanese on this road. In addition, there are roads and railways that lead directly to North Korea, and the transportation is very good.

Central China is far away from the place where the Japanese army will train and the network, and there is no direct road and railway, so the withdrawal order was issued very early, but the effect of implementation is not very good, so it was quickly entangled by Chen Feng's subordinates.

In order to withdraw troops from the Chinese battlefield as soon as possible, the Japanese government mobilized large and small ships from all over the country to China to serve as troop carriers, and at the same time sent troops to forcibly collect large Chinese fishing boats and cargo ships.

In fact, the British also called the Japanese withdrawal from the Chinese battlefield the Dunkirk evacuation in the east, but the British obviously did not know what to do, and the Japanese were extremely dissatisfied with the effect of this retreat. There are more than 700,000 Japanese troops, 1.2 million overseas Chinese and 280,000 puppet troops in China, but the daily ship throughput of Wusongkou can only maintain the retreat of 50,000 people, and so far only 800,000 overseas Chinese and 300,000 troops have been evacuated.

These are not the most irritating things, the most irritating thing for the Japanese is that the puppet army in Central China and the puppet army in North China and Northeast China are simply two different things, I heard that the Japanese are going to withdraw to Japan, and nearly 100,000 puppet troops have revolted one after another, and the rest of the troops also seem to have lost their souls, and they have no fighting spirit at all, and a large number of puppet troops flee every day, so that now the Japanese army has to send a large number of combat troops to monitor the puppet army.

It was fortunate that the Japanese army did not do this, but the contradictions between the two sides were further intensified, and it brought many difficulties to the withdrawal of troops. (To be continued......)
