Chapter 386: The All-People War of Resistance
Well, the Liberation Daily is still out of stock after three consecutive reprints.
The front of the Jiefang Daily office was crowded with newsboys waiting to get the newspaper, and the scalpers on the street actually speculated the price of a Jiefang Daily to five copper plates, but the supply still exceeded demand.
The great victory of the Yellow River, the great victory of Jingcheng, and the recovery of Shijiazhuang, one after another exciting news came out through the Liberation Daily, not to mention spending five copper plates, even if it takes an ocean, some people are willing to take a sneak peek.
Chongqing's Luoyang paper was expensive for a while, and even the straw paper that wiped the buttocks rose by three copper plates per catty.
The whole people were boiling, the whole country celebrated, the people's enthusiasm for the war of resistance was completely ignited, and the masses spontaneously organized a march to petition in front of the temporary presidential palace in Chongqing, asking the government to send troops to recover the lost territory.
This time, not only the teachers and students of the school were in the procession, but also ordinary citizens and military personnel.
People raised their arms and shouted anti-Japanese slogans.
People sang in unison, and songs from the liberated areas were sung in front of the Provisional Presidential Palace in Chongqing.
"Unity is strength, unity is strength, that unity is iron, that unity is steel, harder than iron and stronger than steel......"
"The big knife slashed at the heads of the devils and killed ......"
"A big river has wide waves, and the wind blows the rice and flowers on both banks...... When a friend comes, there is good wine, and if the jackal comes, he is greeted with a shotgun...... This is a strong motherland, where I grew up......"
"Onward! Forward! Forward! Our team is facing the sun and stepping on the land of the motherland. Carrying the hopes of the nation, we are an invincible force. We are the sons and daughters of the workers and peasants, and we are the armed forces of the people. From fearless, never yielding, fighting valiantly, until the devil is wiped out......"
"The wind is roaring, the horses are barking, the Yellow River is roaring, the Yellow River is roaring...... He picked up a native gun and a foreign gun, wielded a broadsword and spear, and defended his hometown, the Yellow River, North China, and the whole of China......"
The chorus of tens of thousands of people, the loud singing broke through the sky, and even the soldiers who were waiting in front of the presidential palace were full of blood and tears, but there was silence in the presidential palace.
Faced with the cries of the people, the old man summoned the Military Council of the National Revolutionary Army to convene an emergency meeting in the presidential palace.
I can only hold a meeting here, and I can't go out.
The old man slapped the table at the meeting and scolded his mother, and all the generals of the national army who were present and those who were not present were scolded for a bloody squirt, except for Xie Baoqing.
Xie Baoqing's prestige is in full swing, and he has overshadowed the old man, how can he scold?
The meeting decided to launch a large-scale summer counteroffensive throughout the country, and all 10 theaters were dispatched.
There is no battle plan, there is no strategic deployment, where there are devils, there is a battlefield, whether you fight in concert or on your own, how you like to fight, I just need to see how many Japanese you have eliminated and how much lost territory you have recovered.
The old man was anxious, according to the current public opinion, it seems that there is no need for the national government to exist if it does not organize a few decent counterattacks.
Even if it still exists, it has already existed in name only.
The hearts of the common people are to the liberated areas and to Xie Baoqing, so can this government still exist?
The country has been divided, the late Qing Dynasty emperor of Northeast Manchukuo, Wang Jingwei in North China and Central China, and the Mengpuppet King De, these are already clearly divided, as well as Ma Hongkui in Ningxia, Ma Bufang in Qinghai, Sheng Shicai in Xinjiang, Liu Wenhui in Sichuan, Li Zongren in Guangxi, and Yan Xishan in Shanxi.
The most important thing is that there is also a thorny back of Yan'an Mao eyeing the tiger.
In fact, the territory under the control of the Nationalist government was pitifully small, even less than the size of Manchukuo and Xinjiang, Sheng Shicai, and Wang's puppet government.
Now there is another Xie Baoqing who has made a big fuss in the northwest and north of Shanxi, and he has also accepted the appointment of the Nationalist Government but has gone his own way, and has also won the support of the Allied General Stilwell, and the old man's position is already in jeopardy.
At this time, Xie Tian's PLA troops were like broken bamboos, recovering Baoding, Bazhou, and Xingtai one after another. In Handan, Hengshui, Cangzhou, Hejian, and other places, the forward troops had already reached Jinghai, which was less than 100 miles away from Tianjin, and completely cut off the land communication lines between the Kwantung Army and the Japanese army in North and Central China.
Xie Tian issued a call to the whole country through Jiefang Daily to fight the war of resistance and liberate the whole of China.
What is surprising is that Yan Xishan, the commander of the Second Theater of Operations, who had already been driven across the Yellow River, took the lead in telegraphing the whole country to respond, and gathered three group armies from Datong to launch an attack on the Japanese army and the troops of the Mongolian puppet King Dehua from Datong.
Li Zongren of Guangxi then telegraphed the whole country to respond and launched a fierce attack on the Japanese army in his theater.
Yan Xishan. Li Zongren responded to Xie Tian's call to liberate the whole of China, and he responded positively in the form of electrifying the whole country, and put it into action, which was no less than a slap in the face of Chongqing Jiang in the face.
The old feud, these two people took the opportunity to retaliate against Chongqing Chiang, both of them had launched an anti-Chiang war, and both were unfortunately defeated.
The major battlefields of the country have vigorously launched a major counteroffensive, but there has been no movement from Yan'an, but it is making a fortune in a muffled voice, and the Eighth Route Army has followed the pace of the People's Liberation Army to regain lost territory one after another, and the base area has expanded several times in a short period of time.
The Eighth Route Army (18th Group Army) is subordinate to the Second Theater of Operations, and Yan Xishan, the commander of the Second Theater, has already telegraphed the whole country to respond to the call of the People's Liberation Army.
The Eighth Route Army is the main combat force in Yan'an, and the New Fourth Army, another unit in Yan'an, belongs to the Third Theater and mainly fights in the south, and the influence of the New Fourth Army is far less than that of the Eighth Route Army, so there is no need to make any noise alone.
The Eighth Route Army was a group army, which was reorganized and composed of the 1st, 2nd, and 4th Front Armies of the Red Army and the Northwest Red Army, and was the main combat force in Yan'an.
The New Fourth Army was just an army, composed of small units and guerrillas left in the eight southern provinces after the Red Army's Long March, and the most famous unit of the New Fourth Army was the Ye Ting Independent Regiment.
At this time, Xie Tian had already arrived in Jinghai, which was the forefront of the general offensive of the PLA troops on Pingjin.
In the Battle of Pingjin, Xie Tian chose to attack Tianjin first.
On the question of whether to attack Beiping or Tianjin first, Fu Zuoyi, Xu Shiyou, Zhao Gang and others held their own opinions, and after arguing for several days, no one could convince anyone, so that Xie Tian had no idea.
Xie Tian simply carried a roast chicken to Pang Yuan for advice, and put the pros and cons of fighting Beiping first and Tianjin first on the table, and discussed an idea with Pang Yuan.
As a result, Pang Yuan reluctantly opened the golden mouth after gnawing the last chicken claw: "I don't care about the war, you can do it yourself." ”
Angry, Xie Tian rolled his eyes, he finally understood that this old brother was just to eat a few more bites of roast chicken to listen to him patiently for a long time.
