……

The Japanese army rolled up nearly 150,000 elites and launched an offensive against the Tang Keqin Group Army in central Henan, which finally ended with the victory of the Eighth Route Army and the Tang Keqin Group Army in the battle with the Japanese army in northern Henan.

The devil's harvest after breaking through the defense line in central Henan was finally completely buried in the fiasco of the Battle of Northern Henan.

The once rampant Kwantung Jihadist Army led by Yamashita Fumimi suffered heavy losses.

The armored vehicles and tanks belonging to the armored troops of the old devil Inoue were also lost by more than half.

So far.

The series of victories won by the Japanese army successively against western Hubei, Hengyang, Changde, Guiliu and other regions can be said to have completely suffered a defeat at Waterloo in northern Henan.

What a night back to before liberation!

On this heavy land of China, although the successive defeats of Chiang's army disappointed 40,000 people, it also made Britain, the United States, the Soviet Union and other aiding countries that aided Chiang's army stunned.

But there are new stars on the rise!

The Eighth Route Army won a series of victories on the battlefield behind enemy lines, especially the first frontal victory in northern Henan led by the Eighth Route Army.

Officially declare to the world:

On the Sino-Japanese battlefield, in addition to the Chiang troops on the frontal battlefield, on the battlefield behind enemy lines, the troops of our Eighth Route Army were also not to be underestimated, which was enough to inflict heavy losses on the Japanese Chinese anti-Japanese armed forces.

In the propaganda of various external channels, and even in the announcement of radio signals to the international side, the Eighth Route Army firmly stated:

"Anyone who dares to oppress our Chinese nation, anyone who dares to infect the mountains and rivers of China, and anyone who dares to infringe on the interests of our Chinese nation will be regarded as an enemy by all the soldiers and people of our Eighth Route Army, and will resolutely fight and fight to the death!"

Reputedly.

After receiving this declaration from the Eighth Route Army, the principal was silent in his office for a long time.

His mood can be said to be mixed.

But the final order was still issued, and the Nationalist Government also released a declaration soon after, and the content of this declaration is more like a declaration corresponding to the Eighth Route Army:

"Anyone who dares to oppress our Chinese nation, anyone who dares to infect the mountains and rivers of China, and anyone who dares to infringe on the interests of the Chinese nation will be regarded as an enemy by all the soldiers and people of our National Revolutionary Army, and will resolutely resist and fight to the death!"

In the headquarters of the Special Experimental Zone, Kong Jie said with a smile: "The content of the chairman's declaration is really simple and clear, to put it bluntly, just two words, 'ditto', haha!" ”

Ding Wei smiled and agreed: "It's rare for the chairman of the committee to be so sensible, our Eighth Route Army and Jiang Jun have issued these two declarations one after another, which can demonstrate the determination of our Chinese military and people to resolutely resist foreign humiliation and fight against the enemy!"

If the Jiang army and our Eighth Route Army are enough to make the enemy pay attention, when we join forces and the brothers are no longer on the wall.

Is there any other enemy that can bully us in China? ”

"Lao Ding said it well, if the chairman of the committee could understand this truth, our War of Resistance against Japan may not be so difficult!" Li Yunlong then expressed his opinion.

Then talked about the battle of northern Henan.

Ding Wei said: "After this war, the Japanese army can be said to be wounded, we also consume a lot, after the end of the war between the two sides, I am afraid they will need a period of rest and recuperation, and the whole army will fight again."

In the next period of time, it is estimated that there will be no large-scale fighting between the two sides.

I can breathe a sigh of relief and take a good rest for a while. ”

Kong Jie nodded: "According to our strategic plan, if this second phase of deployment is to be launched, it will indeed take a period of time to prepare.

But we must be fast, before the devil's troops recuperate and recuperate, and before the rectification is completed, we will take the lead in completing the rest and recuperation of the troops, and take the initiative to launch an offensive against the Japanese army, and we must not let the little devils completely ease their strength. ”

Li Yunlong said happily: "Look, after our Iron Triangle Army advances to the Kanto, this little devil is afraid that he will have nightmares every day!" ”

Lao Li's topic always changed quickly, and as he spoke, he changed his words and suddenly asked again:

"Lao Kong, has your son given a name?"

Kong Jie was stunned, he was discussing the military, why did he suddenly talk about his son?

But when he thought of his son who was not yet a month old, the corners of Kong Jie's mouth couldn't help but show a fatherly smile, these years have been in a trance, since he appeared in this world, although there are so many old comrades-in-arms around him, and there are so many extremely real experiences, even his wife has been married.

But deep down in his heart, he is lonely after all, a kind of loneliness that has no fundamental connection with the world, a kind of loneliness that cannot be told to any outsider.

Until this moment, it comes from the resonance of the bloodline.

Kong Jie truly experienced the sense of reality that was initially connected to the world.

Perhaps this is the importance of offspring!

Kong Jie shook his head: "The big name hasn't been taken yet, but the nickname has been temporarily set, since we are soldiers, and he is the descendant of soldiers, I have also discussed it with my mother-in-law at home, so the nickname is called Junjun!" ”

Li Yunlong shook his head when he heard this: "Lao Kong, if you want me to say that your name is really bad, if you want to say that your brother has been learning cultural knowledge all these years, and there is a lot of ink in his stomach, why did he take this name?" ”

Kong Jie was surprised: "Yo, Lao Li, do you have a good idea?" ”

Li Yunlong immediately straightened his chest and said with an oath:

"If you want to talk about the name, I, Li Yunlong, am professional, and the name I gave is catchy and domineering, I don't have to say it, it's top-notch."

"What's it called?"

"Nicknamed mortar, big name hole missile. Listen, how domineering this name is, as soon as you hear it, it is the species of our soldiers, Lao Kong, if you want me to say that our godson should be called such a name! ”

Kong Jie: "......"

Ding Wei: "......"

"No, what kind of eyes do you have? What a beautiful name! If you don't like it, I have something else! Let's change the nickname again!

Howitzer?

Bazooka?

Melon grenade? No, melon, melon is a nice name, or is it called melon?

The king eight box is also ......"

"Phew, Li Yunlong, your son is about to be born, I think you should leave your good names to your son!" Kong Jie immediately interrupted Li Yunlong's words, this old Li really became more and more out of character the more he talked.

Hahahaha –

The three old comrades-in-arms burst into laughter for a moment.

After laughing for a while, Li Yunlong suddenly glared, looked at Ding Wei and said: "I said Lao Ding, I joked with Lao Kong, that's because we have a son, and we have a common topic. ”

Ding Wei: "......"

"Lao Li, back then, they were all brothers who came out of the kang, the same good man who came over with a single person, you are full now, but you laughed at me, and forgot the time when we were brothers and brothers together?

Besides, it's hard to say whether your wife is pregnant with a son or a daughter in your belly! If it's a girl, where do I see you kid crying? ”

"Ahh It's better than your old Ding, and you're still a single! Li Yunlong teased.

Ding Wei scolded angrily, this bastard Lao Li, staring at his old scars, is endless.

"Then again, Lao Kong, what kind of name is your son going to make?"

Ding Wei changed the subject with interest.

Kong Jie thought for a while and said: "We have been fighting with the little devils for so many years, and our soldiers have shed their blood on the front line, in the final analysis, for the independence of the nation and for the construction of a new and prosperous new China.

This is the scenery that tens of millions of people have dreamed of seeing.

The child is our descendant, is our hope, he should carry such a dream, I think it is better to call it Kong Xinguo! Looking at a new China! ”

Ding Wei agreed: "This name is good, unlike Lao Li, except for the little guy in the army, I can't think of any other words!" ”

Li Yunlong, who was on the side, rolled his eyes, and then said: "Haha, Lao Kong, our old comrades-in-arms have been fighting side by side for so many years, and this son should also work together in the same trench."

Since your son's name is Kong Xinguo, I think about it, my son will be called Li Shengguo, I wish the motherland prosperity! ”

Ding Wei also suddenly came up with an idea: "The sons of the two of you will come out together, and the prosperity (new) will come out, then I will have a good time, if I have a son in the future, I will call Ding Zhonghua, this China is prosperous, just make up a string!" ”

"You're still beating a bachelor!" Li Yunlong said.

Ding Wei: "......"

It's hard to get back to business again.

With the help of the map in front of you, we can discuss the strategic deployment of the second phase of the next phase.

Kong Jie summed up and said: "After this battle, from the bright side, both the Japanese army and our Eighth Route Army, including the Jiang army, have to enter a long period of rest and recuperation.

We can just repair the plank road in the open and Chen Cang in the dark.

On the one hand, they continued to launch some small-scale offensives from time to time in North China, including Central China and South China, to contain the Japanese troops in the Guannai, especially the Kwantung Army in the south, and absolutely not let them return to the Kwantung region.

On the other hand, our real main force can officially set off, first secretly sail to the Mengxi area, and prepare to launch an attack in the direction of Xilin Gol, Chengde, Chifeng, and Hailar in the direction of Chahar and Mengdong.

Then pull out the Kwantung military border garrison in the Daxinganling area, and then attack the North Manchurian Heilongjiang region all the way through the Daxinganling.

The other way can pass through the middle of the Outer Khing'an Mountains to force Hecheng. ”

Speaking of this, Kong Jie's eyes revealed expectations, as if he had seen the dawn of the situation to that point, "If the offensive in these stages goes well, even if we can't immediately force the Kwantung Army to collapse, we can gain a firm foothold at the earliest, enter a confrontation situation with the Kwantung Army in the area outside the Guandong, and gradually build up the troops until we can launch a strategic counteroffensive and defeat the Kwantung Army in one fell swoop." ”

The environment at this time was extremely favorable for the Eighth Route Army.

First, in the past 42 years, the Japanese army in the Pacific Theater has changed from its original advantage to its inferiority, and from its original active offensive to a passive defensive side.

The scales of war have gradually become unbalanced.

In order to survive and withstand the pressure of the Pacific Theater, the Japanese army could only continuously draw elites from China, especially from the Kwantung region.

The Kwantung Army's reinforcements to the Pacific theater led to a rapid decline in the elite of the Kwantung Army and a sharp decline in combat effectiveness.

At this time, the Kwantung Army, which was stationed outside the pass, was no longer as strong as it had been in previous years.

Maybe it's just a paper tiger that can be broken with a single stab.

Coupled with a series of operations carried out by the Eighth Route Army in Guannai, the Kwantung Army was forced to continuously withdraw reinforcements to North and Central China.

After the disastrous defeat of the Japanese army in the Battle of Northern Henan.

The losses of the Kwantung Army were not small, and the elite Jihadist Army and armored divisions, plus the reinforced aviation units, all suffered heavy losses.

To sum up in Kong Jie's words: "I am afraid that the current Kwantung Army has long been strong outside and strong in the middle." ”

As for the work of the front station to advance into the Kanto region, Kong Jie had already begun preparations as early as a year or two ago, especially in terms of intelligence.

So far, it has been fruitful, and the Eighth Route Army has secretly set up a lot of intelligence networks in the Kwantung region.

With the help of this information, Kong Jie and other generals can make an analysis: "The continuous transfer of the elite of the Kwantung Army to the Pacific Theater, the transfer of the elite of the mobile to the Kannai, coupled with the enlistment of a large number of new soldiers, the troops have long been inferior to before.

Perhaps even the second-rate Japanese army in Sekinai could not be compared.

There is also the policy of merging villages and villages, which has led to the excessive concentration of troops in the Kwantung Army, as long as our interspersed troops can break through and take advantage of the advantages of mobile troops, is it not a dozen or a quasi? ”

"Maybe after the final battle begins, it will go even more smoothly than we imagined!"

"Of course, when the specific plan is launched, we will definitely launch several active offensives in North and Central China, and it is best to hit the Japanese puppet army in North and Central China in one fell swoop, on the one hand, let the Japanese puppet army in Guannai take care of itself. On the other hand, it may also be possible to force more Kwantung Army to move to Kannai.

The pressure on us to advance into Kanto will be further weakened. ”

Ding Wei thought deeply about this: "At that time, our participating troops will definitely be indispensable."

Commander Fu's troops, the Yanbei Detachment, the Daqingshan Detachment, the Mengxi Guerrilla Corps, the Beijin Detachment, the Jireliao Base Area, the Central Hebei Army, the Southern Hebei Army, and the Shandong Army, including the four main brigades of the 129th Division and the 120th Division, which had long been established, as well as our Iron Triangle Group Army.

I'm afraid that I can form several echelons in one breath and advance one after another. ”

Li Yunlong said: "Anyway, the vanguard who took the lead in advancing into the Kanto region must be our Iron Triangle Group Army." ”

Kong Jie also hit the international side with his idea.

"You said that after our deployment to the Kanto region begins, how about contacting the United Kingdom and the United States and other allies? I think they'll be happy to help! ”

Ding Weile said: "This is for sure, such a big piece of cake in Kanto, the British and American sides will definitely want to intervene, even if they can't intervene, they will never watch the Soviet side of the near water building get involved." ”

Kong Jie said: "Then it depends on how well our Tai Chi is playing."

It's just a matter of retaining one principle: we can ask Britain, the United States, the Soviet Union and other allied countries to reinforce it, but only if it is limited, and it is great that it is some assault troops.

The Kanto region is the fundamental interest of our China, even if they are allies, if they try to point fingers, we must not be polite to them! ”

Li Yunlong said: "That's for sure, we are in charge of our territory, who dares to say anything?" ”

This is said with confidence.

What is the origin?

It stems from the absolute self-confidence of the troops of the Eighth Route Army in militarily defeating the Japanese invaders, and is far away from the foundation brought about by the stable and rapid development of the major base areas of the Eighth Route Army.

Gone are the days of backwardness and beatings......
