Majestic, high-spirited, across the Yalu River.

Good sons and daughters of China, move forward bravely, and the flag should be planted on Mount Fuji.

Climb aboard the Dongying Islands and kill all the pirates, all the pirates!

……

In April 1943, when it was warm and cold, the Second War Zone once again sounded the clarion call for a counteroffensive. The Far Eastern Front, the New Fifth Army and other units simultaneously launched a fierce attack on the enemy forces on the opposite shore from the east and west coasts of the Korean Peninsula.

At that time, the Japanese Army stationed in Korea had the 34th and 58th armies, the 120th, 150th, 160th, 320th divisions, and the 127th mixed brigades, with a total of 9 divisions, 3 brigades, plus police, totaling 150,000 people. Lieutenant General Yoshio Kamitsuki was the commander, and Lieutenant General Junjiro Ihara was the chief of staff, and the headquarters was located in Seoul.

Although there are so many troops and millions of Japanese expatriates, you can see from the number that the Japanese army stationed in Korea does not have any decent troops at all, and it is far from being a well-equipped, well-trained, and opponent of our army, which has air and sea supremacy.

The soldiers sang "All the Dead Men of the East Ying", which was changed beyond recognition by Zheng Huzi, and forcibly crossed the Yalu River and Tumen River with the momentum of a tiger descending the mountain. Under the heroic fighting of the soldiers, it took less than three hours to break through the enemy's defense line on all fronts, and then quickly broke through the enemy's depth by taking advantage of maneuverability.

Under the transportation and cover of the US fleet, the Eastern Route Army (Far Eastern Front) successively adopted amphibious landing operations, and successively rushed to land on beaches in Tuancheon, Hungnam, Wonsan, Jiuyi-ri, Gangneung, Samcheok, and other places, completely disrupting the Japanese army's defensive deployment.

Although the Western Route Army (mainly the New Fifth Army) lacked amphibious combat capabilities. However, Commander-in-Chief Liao Yaoxiang made proper arrangements and gave full play to the advantages of our army's fierce firepower and strong mobility to the maximum.

He used light infantry as a sharp blade, and quickly interspersed behind enemy lines along mountain paths under the leadership of Joseon Neiying; At the same time, with the armored corps as battle axes and hammers, they advanced along the roads and railways, and launched wave after wave of ferocious offensives against the opponent until they completely defeated the opponent.

The two armies echoed and cooperated with each other, and finally suppressed the enemy's main force between the Qingchuan River and the Datong River, and all of them were annihilated. Later, Liao Yaoxiang led the army to continue southward and liberated Pyongyang, an important town in the north. The front of the army is approaching Kaesong and Seoul.

Meanwhile. The soldiers of the Volunteers, who had already sneaked back to various parts of Korea, also raised their troops in response, and they launched attacks in all directions, and even the Korean people in the southernmost port of Fusan and the most remote island of Jeju began to rise up to resist. As a result, Japan's rule on the Korean Peninsula for more than 40 years collapsed in an instant.

And more than 20 US submarines have already quietly dived into the Tsushima Strait. Any Japanese ship trying to cross. Both aircraft carriers and small sampans were smashed to pieces by American GIs with excess energy.

Seeing that it was another devastating victory, both the domestic people and international allies were cheered. Even the British, who had always been dissatisfied with Zheng Huzi, and MacArthur (who had a conflict over the distribution of American aid) sent congratulatory telegrams, wishing them persistent efforts and new achievements!

Shenyang, the war room of the second theater of operations. Chief of Staff Zhou personally took a pen and ruler to write and draw on the map, and suddenly slapped the table excitedly and shouted excitedly: "Good, good fight!" It seems that in two months at most, we will be able to achieve a complete victory in the Korean campaign. ”

Zheng Weiguo also nodded with satisfaction, as long as Korea was taken, the barrier of the Japanese mainland would no longer exist. Moreover, the Korean Peninsula stretches all the way to the junction of the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea, which can directly cut off the connection between the Japanese mainland and the Okinawa Islands, China, the South Seas, and other places, completely isolate Japan, and cut off its industrial raw materials and the possibility of supplying grain from abroad.

"Commander-in-Chief, Chief of Staff!" Political Commissar Cheng suddenly burst in angrily and shouted angrily: "Oh no, something big has happened in North China!" ”

Zheng Weiguo and Chief of Staff Zhou were taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Political Commissar Cheng said angrily: "We are bent on copying the little devil's lair, but some people are so good that they are secretly calculating our lair." You say, is this a traitor! ”

Zheng Huzi got up and poured a cup of coffee for Political Commissar Cheng, and comforted: "Old Cheng, don't worry, what is the situation?" You speak slowly. ”

Political Commissar Cheng thought that he was angry, but he didn't look closely, grabbed the cup and poured it violently. "Ahh When I drank it, I felt that something was wrong, and I stuck out my tongue and shouted, "Ah, it's so bitter, it's so bitter, what a joke!" Bitter bile, why is it so bitter, phew, phew! ”

Zheng Weiguo and Chief of Staff Zhou couldn't help but laugh. Chief of Staff Zhou hurriedly poured a glass of boiled water for Political Commissar Cheng and explained with a smile: "This is coffee, the drink that Americans drink, just like our tea." He also quipped: "Don't you often say that the Long March is the most bitter, why is there still a time when it is bitter?" Which is more bitter than the Long March? ”

Political Commissar Cheng took out the cup and rinsed his mouth, shook his head and said, "How can this be compared?" Although the Long March is hard, we have a hope in our hearts! This game is so bitter that my tongue is numb, what is there to drink? As he spoke, he picked up the cup again and looked at the black and slimy things inside, and said disgustingly: "Tsk, foreign devils drink this bitter thing?" No wonder our tea is scarce! As he spoke, he hurriedly pushed the coffee cup aside.

Zheng Weiguo smiled: "It's good to get used to drinking." Then he asked, "What happened to North China just now?" ”

Political Commissar Cheng slapped his thigh and said anxiously: "Look at this stubble, I almost forgot about the big thing!" Commander-in-Chief, according to reliable information, the Ministry of Military Affairs is secretly mobilizing troops to assemble in Shaanxi, Henan, and Jiangsu, preparing to attack North China as soon as the main force of our Second World War Zone moves north. ”

"What!" Zheng Weiguo and Chief of Staff Zhou glanced at each other, both of them in shock! Could it be that Chang Kaishen dared to brazenly provoke a civil war at this time?

Political Commissar Cheng said again: "Alas, if you just suffer from the army, what is even more hateful is that the little devils are also gathering in Shandong, Jiangsu, and Anhui provinces, I am worried that there is a conspiracy here!" ”

Chief of Staff Zhou thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be!" Now that the general trend of Japan has turned, I believe that the chairman of the NPC Standing Committee will not be stupid enough to form an alliance with the Japanese. ”

Political Commissar Cheng snorted and said, "Anyway, I can't trust him, we have to guard against this!" ”

Chief of Staff Zhou said to Zheng Weiguo again: "What does the commander-in-chief think? ”

Zheng Weiguo carefully recalled the situation of the Anti-Japanese War that year. I thought that the chairman of the committee didn't surrender back then, so he shouldn't have done such a stupid thing in this time and space, right?

However, the second theater is now developing too fast, which not only poses a fatal threat to Japan, but also poses a challenge to Chang Kaishen's position from within. With Zheng Huzi's strength and military exploits, he can be called a master of high merit in all dynasties. To tell the truth, the chairman of the committee has been able to endure until now, which is already very self-contained.

From this point of view, if Japan wants to solve the current predicament, it will inevitably use unscrupulous means to deal with Zheng Huzi and the Second War Zone. Such a means of benefiting and not costing China with China is certainly in their consideration.

Back then, they could support the Gui and Guangdong factions to oppose Chiang in the name of resisting Japan. Why can't you support Chang Kaishen to "destroy Zheng" now? Plainly. Where there are interests, there is a source of power.

The chairman of the NPC National Committee has always advocated that "if you go outside, you must first settle inside," and killing people with a knife is also his strong point. If we can use the hands of the Japanese to eliminate the "internal troubles", why not? As for whether the second theater of operations will be defeated because of instability in the rear, it is not in his mind at all. Anyway, I've already given up on the Northeast once. What's the harm in giving up again?

Political Commissar Cheng slapped the table. agreed: "The commander-in-chief is right, Jiang damn and the little devil must have hit this ghost idea!" ”

Chief of Staff Zhou shook his head and said: "Although the two sides do have a basis for cooperation, how dare the chairman of the committee defy the condemnation of the world?" Isn't he afraid of the opposition of the whole country? ”

Zheng Weiguo shook his head and said, "Why do you have to unite openly? ”

Although an open union is really unlikely. But in the World Cup under everyone's eyes, there are still teams that blatantly play "tacit ball". With the intelligence of the chairman and the Japanese, it is entirely possible to use more clever means.

Moreover, the national army has had bad deeds in this regard, for example, Zhang Yinwu once took advantage of the Japanese army's sweep of the base area of the Eighth Route Army to send troops to seize the territory of the Eighth Route Army, which is called "liberation". Liang Peihuang of the Jin Sui Army even directly cooperated with the Japanese army to invade the base area of the Eighth Route Army. Moreover, when the Shandong Eighth Road was in conflict with the national army, the Japanese army actually sent troops to reinforce the national army.

When Chief of Staff Zhou heard this, his face couldn't help but become solemn, and he said uneasily: "The commander-in-chief's analysis is very reasonable, it seems that I have thought things too simply. Alas, why did the chairman choose to do it at this time? Fry each other in a hurry! ”

Zheng Weiguo sneered and asked rhetorically: "This is not simple, will they still have a chance after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War?" ”

Chief of Staff Zhou thought about the speed of the development of the terror in the second theater, shook his head and said: "Alas, it seems that the chairman of the committee has regarded our second theater as his enemy, and he wants to get rid of it as soon as possible!" He asked with some embarrassment: "Commander-in-chief, what should we do now, should we send troops back to North China?" ”

Zheng Weiguo was silent for a moment and asked, "Lao Cheng, what are the plans of Mr. Zhu?" ”

Political Commissar Cheng said a little depressedly: "Mr. Zhu thinks that the main force of our theater going south will only intensify the contradictions and damage China's position in the anti-fascist alliance, so he does not approve of us going south." ”

Zheng Weiguo sighed, nodded and said, "Well, Mr. Zhu's opinion is right!" ”

If it is only the conflict between the Eighth Route Army and the Central Army, it is only a partisan contradiction and a regional contradiction. But if a war zone confronts the central government, it will be a split of Hongguoguo. If the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression has ended, then the split will be split, and it is a big deal to fight a war of liberation in advance.

But now that the enemy has not gone, the brothers are on the wall, and it will only be the Japanese who are happy. And now the international situation is very delicate, and the British are lobbying the White House and the Senate and House of Representatives in an attempt to get the United States to return to its previous policy of "Europe first, then Asia".

Compared with yellow-skinned Chinese, Americans must have a better impression of Britons of the same culture, so Zheng Huzi has already felt the strategic vacillation of the US government, which is not a good phenomenon.

In case the U.S. military really adjusts its strategy, all of Zheng Huzi's previous deployments will be in vain. China has paid so many costs and sacrifices, and in the end it is empty-handed, leaving only a land ravaged by war!

What to do?

Zheng Weiguo frowned and paced in the war room, walking back and forth like this for more than an hour. Finally, he sorted out his clue and said in a deep voice: "Lao Cheng, you immediately contact Mr. Zhu and Yan'an, and if the national army provokes, please bear with them for the time being." When necessary, some of the base areas on the periphery can also be appropriately relinquished. ”

Political Commissar Cheng said unwillingly: "What if they have to make an inch? ”

Zheng Weiguo snorted and said, "Then it's no wonder that we are the core base area, which is related to the survival of the Second World War Zone, and it must not be allowed." You tell Mr. Zhu that if you have to fight, then you must fight cleanly and beautifully. ”

Political Commissar Cheng grinned and said, "Eliminate evil, who doesn't understand this truth?" ”

Zheng Weiguo nodded, and said to Zhang Wenbai: "Wenbai, you immediately fly back to Chongqing to report to the chairman of the committee, and ask him not to be too out of line for the sake of national interests and national righteousness." ”

Zhang Wenbai hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, the commander-in-chief, he will do his best to prevent the outbreak of civil war!" ”

Zheng Weiguo nodded, and said: "The United States has proposed to convene a high-level meeting between China and the United States in order to delineate the pattern of the post-war Pacific Rim region. When the time comes, President Roosevelt will come over in person, and on the Chinese side, we will still respect the chairman as the sole leader and ask him to attend the meeting on behalf of the 500 million Chinese people. ”

Zhang Wenbai was overjoyed and said: "This is easy to do, I think the chairman will definitely be tempted!" ”

Chief of Staff Zhou interjected: "Brother Wen Bai, it would be best if you could convince the chairman. If you can't, do your best to stall. ”

Zhang Wenbai was busy.

Zheng Weiguo walked to the map and looked at it, and said helplessly: "This kind of taste of handing over your fate to others to judge is really uncomfortable!" If we can recover Korea and North Manchuria before the Ministry of Military Affairs takes action, I think things will inevitably take a major turn for the better, and even if the chairman wants to do so, he will have to weigh it. ”

Chief of Staff Zhou said anxiously: "It's too difficult, it will take at least two months to recover North Korea, and it will take at least three months to recover North Manchuria, and the Central Army and the Second World War Zone are close at hand, I'm afraid that only one month will be enough." ”

"A month!" Zheng Weiguo slammed his fist on the wall and ordered: "Prepare the plane, I will go to the sky over Seoul to supervise the battle immediately!" (To be continued......)

PS: Things were going well, so I rushed back early. It's not too late, huh
