Moreover, it has not been long since the Anti-Japanese Federation withdrew from those old guerrilla areas, and there is still a little mass base in those areas, and if the Anti-Japanese Federation does not return for a long time, the local masses are likely to completely submit to the rule of the Japanese out of despair, and it will be difficult to win back the hearts and minds of the people when the time comes. As soon as Gao Yuan said this clearly, everyone's attitude immediately made a 180-degree turn, but Gao Yuan was not satisfied with restoring the guerrilla area, and the task he assigned was that the main force of the first column led by Yang Jingyu went to Changbai Mountain to establish the South Manchurian anti-Japanese base area, Zhao Shangzhi led the second column of the main force to advance into the Sanjiang Plain to establish the Dongjiang anti-Japanese base area, and Zhou Baozhong led the third vertical southeast direction to expand the current North Manchurian anti-Japanese base area. It was also responsible for the liaison between the headquarters and the second column, while the troops directly under the Anti-Japanese Union Command and the second-line troops of the three columns operated the North Manchurian base area under the personal command of Gao Yuan and continued to open up to the south

Among them, Yang Jingyu's column has the heaviest task, as long as the base area can be established, even if the team of more than 5,000 people who are now going south with him can never grow, it is enough to stabilize 100,000 Japanese troops and make them dare not leave South Manchuria at all, but the difficulties and dangers they face are also the greatest.

First of all, South Manchurian is the center of gravity of the devils in the northeast, and the army is far more powerful than that of North Manchuria, which is the first difficulty; The economy of South Manchuria is relatively developed, and even though the local people are brutally oppressed by devils, the survival pressure is still less than that of North Manchuria, so the determination to resist Japan is relatively weak. Naturally, it was not as easy as it was to mobilize the masses to resist Japan in North Manchuria, which was the second difficulty; The road traffic in South Manchuria is much more convenient than that in North Manchuria, which means that the devils can easily quickly mobilize a large number of troops to encircle and suppress the South Manchurian column, and the reinforcements of the Japanese army are also faster after the attack, which requires the South Manchurian column to solve the battle faster than other places, otherwise it is likely to be dragged by the devils, and when the time comes, it will be forced to sacrifice some comrades to break the rear. It is not impossible to annihilate the whole army, which is the third difficulty; South Manchuria's industrial and agricultural base, especially the military industry, is very good, and the devils can get enough supplies on the spot in this area. The logistical pressure was much lower than elsewhere, which meant that the Japanese were dispatched more frequently and the sweeps lasted longer. Therefore, the pressure that the South Manchurian base areas will have to bear will inevitably be several times or even more than ten times that of other base areas, and this is the fourth difficulty. The South Manchurian base area must have originated in the Changbai Mountains (although it is also possible to establish a base area behind enemy lines in the plains, the mountainous areas have always been the most favorable terrain for guerrilla warfare. However, this place happened to be naturally pinned down by the main force of the Japanese Kwantung Army and the Korean Japanese army, and the devils could send large troops from any direction, whether it was a defensive point or jumping to the outer line, it was more difficult than other base areas, and the activity space of the South Manchurian column was greatly limited, which was the fifth difficulty; As long as the other base areas are well developed, it should not be difficult to connect them. And before that, it was easy to echo because of the proximity, on the contrary, the South Manchurian column was completely alone, and by the time they could join forces with friendly forces, the entire situation of the War of Resistance was probably almost in sight, so they could only rely on their own Liliang for a long time. This is the sixth difficulty; For this reason, the first column will only be able to replenish ammunition by capturing after going south, so they are forced to reluctantly abandon all Soviet-style weapons so as not to become scrap metal after the supporting ammunition is exhausted, but this also inevitably reduces the combat effectiveness of the first column greatly, which is the seventh difficulty

Although Gao Yuan believed in Yang Jingyu's ability, he took into account the difficult situation of the South Manchurian column in the future. I was still a little uncertain in my heart, so he specially sent almost half of the special combat team members to Yang Jingyu, and almost all the elites, including the so-called "jackals, tigers and leopards" in the mouths of the soldiers, were sent out, and he only left his old subordinate Xu Chengji and more than a dozen instructors to train Xinding. …,

Although the Northeast Plain is a rare large plain in China, a lot of land has not been fully developed at this time, and the vegetation is very prosperous, even in the inhabited area, the green gauze tent is enough to hide, so although the devil's plane reconnaissance is very annoying, as long as the size of the army is not too large (Note 1), it is not impossible to conceal the march, not to mention that there is a method that can be applied anywhere by day and night, and now the Kwantung Army is seriously underwhelmed, and I did not expect that the Anti-Japanese Union would dare to divide troops through the thousands of miles of Japanese occupation area, Therefore, the main forces of the three columns arrived at their respective destinations safely without encountering too many obstacles, and quickly set off a terrible storm that even the commander of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, Gao Yuan, did not expect, and almost swept almost the entire northeast

Since the fall of Northeast China after the "918" incident, this has made the people of the plateau, who have just arrived in the south, inevitably despise the anti-Japanese enthusiasm of the people in Northeast China; in fact, the anti-Japanese enthusiasm of the people in Northeast China was also extremely high, and soon after the "September 18" incident, more than 300,000 anti-Japanese volunteers spontaneously emerged in Northeast China, with a population ratio of more than 1 percent. It is only because the anti-Japanese armed forces in Northeast China have been defeated and won few victories since then, and the situation has become increasingly difficult in the past two years, and the masses in Northeast China cannot see the hope of victory in the War of Resistance against Japan, so they have become increasingly numb because of despair. However, after the plateau came to the Northeast, the Anti-Japanese Federation swept away the previous decline, not only won many battles, but also established a large base with a population of several million in North Manchuria, and the Kwantung Army actually couldn't help them, this fact was there, the devil couldn't hide it, after the people in the Northeast were inspired, the anti-Japanese enthusiasm gushed out again, and when the team of the Anti-Japanese Federation returned, those areas where the Anti-Japanese Federation had a certain mass base almost became a hot spot for resistance against Japan in the blink of an eye

However, in the eyes of the young prince, who has never been afraid to speculate on people's hearts with the greatest malice, the terrible fact that was gradually revealed after the anti-Japanese alliance captured the Kwantung Army hard labor camp and rescued countless hard laborers may have a greater impact

Note 1: It was precisely with this in mind that Gao Yuan did not let them take too many people, and the total number of the three columns divided into three columns was more than 10,000 people, but although the number of these selected elite soldiers was small, they were incomparable to the left-behind troops in terms of combat effectiveness and ability to do mass work. And with the size of more than 5,000 people per column, the difficulty of crossing the Japanese-occupied area is undoubtedly much smaller than that of a large army of tens of thousands of people (you are welcome to come, your support is my greatest motivation. )
