…………

Japan's war against China was not over yet.

Suddenly, as if his head was hot, he ran to attack the US Pearl Harbor again, which was like stabbing a beenet's nest and directly pushing the huge US war machine to the hostile side.

Do you think the little devil is stupid?

The head is burned in the lake, the birthday star hangs himself, and he thinks he has a long life?

In fact, it is not, the little devil is very clear in his heart, this is the best solution in desperation.

On the eve of the outbreak of the Pacific War, Japan's domestic economy was almost withering, and coupled with the war against China, the ratio of domestic military spending continued to skyrocket, which made Japan's economy even worse.

Japan, which is already a small country, lacks expensive local resources, and has been directly banned by the United States from exporting oil, rubber, and other military supplies from countries dominated by the United States.

All of a sudden, he was stuck in his throat and choked his lifeline.

The devil can only find a way to change all this, even if it is a desperate bet.

They knew very well that a sneak attack on Pearl Harbor would lead to the defeat of the Japanese army in the future.

If we hadn't attacked Pearl Harbor, Japan might have been defeated now!

I am afraid that the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression will not last until four or five years and will not end until four or five years, maybe it will be over in four or four or three years.

The sneak attack on Pearl Harbor was, for the Japanese army, in fact, to a large extent achieve the expected strategic purpose.

This greatly slowed down the speed of the Japanese army's war of aggression and its eventual defeat.

After the outbreak of the Pearl Harbor incident, the US military, which was caught off guard, fell into a state of defense for a long time to come.

The Japanese army took the opportunity to conquer Southeast Asian countries in one fell swoop, took the opportunity to invade and expand, and quickly replenished the demand for oil in the war machine.

The devil has a chance to survive.

In fact, when the Sino-Japanese War broke out, the Japanese army put forward the slogan of destroying China in three months, on the one hand, in order to boost the morale of the three armed forces and strike a blow to the anti-Japanese sentiment of the Chinese army.

On the other hand, it is due to Japan's national conditions.

Japan is a small country with limited domestic resources, and if it starts a war, it will be dragged into a long-term war.

There are too many factors that can change at any time, and it is likely that the large amount of imported materials that the Japanese army relied on to wage war will be restricted by various countries, which will lead to the forced defeat of the war.

Therefore, whether it is to save resources, or to reduce the impact of changing factors on the outcome of the war.

The devils all want to split the victory or defeat with China in the shortest possible time.

In other words, Japan is actually a fast gunner.

Later, when the Songhu War broke out, the tenacious will of the Chinese officers and soldiers in the anti-aggression operation broke out, and the Japanese army's dream of destroying China in three months was completely ruined.

In fact, since that time, there have been long-term Japanese scholars who believe that:

The Japanese army failed to destroy China for three months, and this war of aggression against China will eventually fail.

The reason why the stalemate on the Chinese battlefield continues, one is that the little devils are unwilling, and the other is that the devils want to maximize the benefits brought to Japan by this war through continuous aggression.

Until the United States restricted the export of oil and various military supplies to Japan.

The benefits gained by the little devils from the war of aggression against China are no longer worth the consumption of foreign imports, and this is called making ends meet.

If the war continues, even if the Japanese army is not defeated, it will have to die of poverty!

Naturally, the Japanese soldiers at the bottom would not understand these truths.

But the high-level devil officers are well aware of this.

For example, the Japanese army in Taiyuan City was stationed in the headquarters of the First Army in Shanxi.

Yoshio Shinozuka, the commander of the First Army of the devils, and the chief of staff Kitagawa, these two old devils have seen this matter very thoroughly.

Speaking of the sudden outbreak of the Pacific War, it even led to the Japanese army being forced to fight on two fronts.

The two old devils also had a look of emotion and embarrassment.

Beichuan's eyes were worried, "General, there is an idiom in China called drinking water to quench thirst. ”

He smiled self-deprecatingly, "Now it seems that our army's raid on Pearl Harbor is similar to this idiom!" ”

Yoshio Shinozuka was noncommittal.

He said, "What can you do when you're particularly thirsty? At least the thirst problem was solved! ”

The heavy topic made the tacit choice of the two old devils not to continue.

The two talked about the current situation of the Japanese army in North China against the Eighth Route Army.

Beichuan, chief of staff of the devil, who had long been aware of the situation in the Sino-Japanese war in North China, said earnestly: "General, the United States is strong and strong, far from being comparable to the Nationalist Government, and after the outbreak of the Pacific War, I think it will soon become the main battlefield of our Imperial Japanese War."

Even the war against China had to be conceded and became a second-line battlefield.

As for the large number of occupied areas occupied by our army in China, it can even be called the rear of the main battlefield.

Once the Pacific War heats up, our army's operations in China will inevitably be affected, and the elite will probably have to be constantly transferred to the Pacific War.

This will inevitably lead to a weakening of the strength of our army's forces fighting in China.

In this respect, I think that the period before the Pacific War is completely intensified will be the opportunity for us to finally concentrate our forces and destroy the Eighth Route Army in the occupied area in one fell swoop. ”

Yoshio Shinozuka nodded: "What you said is right, just half a day ago, His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief and I were on the phone.

He made it clear on the phone that in order to ensure that our army would gain an advantage in the outbreak of the Pacific War, ensure public order in the rear area, and ensure that there are no worries about the main battlefield.

After the outbreak of the Pacific War, our North China Front should all the more focus on law and order in the occupied areas, especially to attack and eliminate the troops of the Eighth Route Army on the fringes of the occupied areas.

In order to coordinate with the main battlefield in the Pacific Ocean, our North China Front will prepare a large-scale sweeping plan to wipe out the troops of the Eighth Route Army in the occupied areas in one fell swoop and thoroughly stabilize public order in the rear.

In this way, this vast occupied area will become a logistical supply warehouse for the main battlefield. ”

After hearing this, Kitagawa breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the superior commander also took this layer into account, "In this way, I am also relieved, Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief is really wise!" ”

Following this topic, the two old devils then studied the future sweep plan against the Eighth Route Army on the operational map of the Sino-Japanese situation in the entire Shanxi area.

……

……

Detachment command.

Coincidentally, when Yoshio Shinozuka and Kitagawa were two old devils, they were studying the war situation in the Pacific War.

Kong Jie, who was holding the phone, also talked about this matter with Lu Dayou, the head of the 28th regiment, on the phone.

Now that the 28th Regiment and the first detachment, which have already opened up the transportation channel, have connected the telephone, the communication between Kong Jie and Commander Lu is much more convenient.

Speaking of the outbreak of the Pacific War.

Lu Dayou said: "Lao Kong, what does this mean?

This shows that the situation of the Sino-Japanese war is changing dramatically.

Of course, the advantage is reversing in our Chinese army.

Over the years, with the development of our Chinese army, especially our Eighth Route Army, the little devil is obviously weak in follow-up and is about to die.

As a result, this little devil stabbed the US side in the eye again, and forced himself to fight on two fronts.

At this moment, the pressure on our war against Japan will definitely be reduced a lot, and the future combat situation will definitely be clearer!

I'm afraid the little devil is already too busy to take care of himself now! How can you take care of our base? ”

However, is this really the case?

Kong Jie instantly thought of the May Day sweep launched by the Japanese army against the Jizhong Military Region that broke out not long after.

As the 28th Regiment of the Jizhong Military Region with the best development in recent times, it will inevitably bear the brunt of the attack at that time.

Regardless of whether the Pacific War broke out or not, as a unit of the Eighth Route Army behind the enemy, the strength of the Japanese army facing it was still strong, and the enemy was still strong and weak.

Blind optimism is not a good thing at this time.

One of the reasons for the heavy casualties in the Jizhong Military Region caused by the May 1 Sweep was that some cadres of the Eighth Route Army were blindly optimistic about the wrong judgment of the revolutionary situation.

"Old Lu, who said these words?"

Kong Jie's suddenly aggravated tone made Captain Lu on the other end of the phone realize the seriousness of the topic.

Regiment Commander Lu did not hide it, and replied: "At the meeting yesterday, the commander asked the commanders of each regiment to express their views on the Pacific War that broke out in the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.

That's what some of the regimental commanders said.

At that time, as soon as this analysis came out, the atmosphere of the meeting was much more relaxed, and everyone felt that the burden on their shoulders was relaxed.

All these years have been fighting with the little devils, everyone is cautious, not daring to make mistakes, now that the Japanese army and the United States are at war, our cadres feel a lot less pressure......"

"Hutu, this is blind optimism, it will only harm us!"

On the other end of the phone, Kong Jie was very angry and directly interrupted Lu Dayou's unfinished words.

"Lao Kong, why do you say that?" Lu Dayou was surprised, it was the first time he felt Kong Jie's anger.

For a long time, Lao Kong, who was calm even in the face of the Japanese army's sweep, showed anger at this moment.

Kong Jie said: "The ancients paid attention to being prepared for danger in times of peace, let's be good now, this war is not over yet, and we are already thinking of danger and peace?"

It is good for our troops to carry forward revolutionary optimism, but we must pay attention to the object, and what should be optimistic is the spirit of enduring hardships, the spirit of dedication, and the spirit of faith.

And not blindly optimistic judgments about the current situation!

Say a thousand words and ten thousand, regardless of whether it is the Pacific War or the Atlantic War.

This does have something to do with our Eighth Route Army, but it has nothing to do with it.

Could it be that as soon as the Pacific War broke out, this little devil on the Chinese battlefield disarmed and surrendered?

After all, the enemy at our doorstep has to be destroyed by ourselves!

Other than that, no one can count on it. ”

In order to let Lu Dayou understand this truth, Kong Jie also gave an example and said: "It's like you were kidnapped by bandits, and then your father took a large team of men and horses to directly surround the entire bandit village.

So you get angry, and even anger the bandits.

As a result, the bandits were ruthless and cut you down before the stockade was breached.

Tell me, where are you going to reason?

Now our Eighth Route Army is like this hostage, do we want to entrust our lives to others? ”

On the other end of the phone, Head Lu was silent.

Kong Jie said: "Lao Lu, let me say something from the bottom of my heart, compared to the Jizhong Military Region, I am an outsider, and I am not very easy to say some things, but you must speak."

In particular, we must report this matter to the commander, in short, we must not be blindly optimistic about the outbreak of the Pacific War, and the more this time comes, the more we must be prepared for danger in times of peace.

Ready to jump off the wall at any time, the little devil will give us a knife at this critical time! ”

Then, Kong Jie analyzed the situation of the war for Lu Dayou.

"For the Japanese army, after the outbreak of the Pacific War, due to the strength of the US army, sooner or later it will become the main battlefield of the Japanese army's foreign wars.

Lao Lu, can you tell me that in this case, will the little devil make trouble behind him?

So no matter what the final direction of the Pacific War is? The devil will definitely strike at our Eighth Route Army troops before this...... So ......"

In the end, after this analysis, Lu Dayou also broke out in a cold sweat when he heard it.

After hanging up the phone, Regiment Commander Lu did not delay, and immediately convened cadres at all levels in the regiment and directly convened a military meeting.

"Comrades, I have something to say to you clearly, now that the Pacific War has broken out, the devils are fighting on two fronts, and the Nationalist Government has also declared war on Japan.

Do not think that this is the time to relax.

On the contrary, the more this time, the more critical it is, the more likely the enemy is to do everything in his power against us.

Let's go back and tell the soldiers, and even convey our thoughts to every company, every platoon, and every squad.

The fighters must continue to strengthen their training, never stop for a moment, and always be ready to plunge into the most challenging battles.

In addition, the preparation of various development materials in the regiment should not be left behind......"

After a meeting in full swing, Regiment Commander Lu sounded the alarm to the cadres at all levels of the 28th Regiment.

After the meeting, the third battalion commander of the 28th Regiment, Lu Shunming, the second battalion commander Sun Chuanzhong, and several other cadres gathered.

Everyone's faces were full of confusion, and Sun Chuanzhong said: "This is really a strange thing, when we held a meeting yesterday, the regiment commander also said that the Pacific War broke out, and the form of our war against Japan has improved, and the pressure has been reduced."

How come it has been less than a day, and the regiment commander is nervous again? ”

Lu Shunmin said: "It's hard to say about this, but I heard that in the morning, our regiment leader seemed to have a phone call with Captain Kong, and then a meeting was held." ”

"Could it be that these words were said by Captain Kong?"

Lu Shunmin said: "Who knows? But I think what our head of the regiment said is reasonable, be prepared for danger in times of peace, the more this time, the more we can't take it lightly. ”

"Makes sense!"

On the other hand, Lu Dayou did not dare to delay, and immediately made a detailed report to the commander of the Jizhong Military Region on the telephone on the content of the discussion with Kong Jie.

Within two days, the commander, who also realized that he was a little careless, even made a profound review.

In addition, he severely criticized several regiment leaders who made blindly optimistic remarks at the last meeting.

In this regard, the commander's words were categorical and sonorous:

"The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard!

Being prepared for danger in times of peace is the most precious quality, and our cadres should always encourage and alert the soldiers, train and study, instead of blindly comforting everyone.

This matter should be taken as a warning and never be committed again.

Our entire Jizhong Military Region must be ready at all times.

Prepare for a great counterattack by all aggressors and reactionaries that may be launched at any time! ”
