After 1947, the scale of the war between the underground party and the Kuomintang became larger and larger on the land of China.

What is different from the original history is that because the Soviet army did not enter the northeast this time, the US army did not pull the bias to help the Kuomintang transport troops, on the contrary, after the US army defeated the Kwantung Army, it directly gave the weapons and equipment of the northeast region and hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops to the Democratic Alliance Army.

In addition, Li Junhao was originally going to send the 121st Group Army to the northeast, and even to restore its name as an underground party army, but after contacting northern Shaanxi, there was an unexpected result - the 121st Group Army was still stationed on Qiongdao in the name of the US army for the time being, and did not participate in the operation in the north, and then participated in the war when the front was unfolded in the south!

In this regard, Li Junhao admires a group of great people, this kind of self-confidence, vision, and courage definitely surpasses everyone in the Kuomintang, and they should win the world!

——

After Li Junhao returned to Washington, he mainly worked in the King Building, occasionally went to the Lower Sea and Land Command, and occasionally went to participate in the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and lived a regular life.

Now the sea and land are running very well, one-third of the troops have returned to the United States, and two-thirds are in the Far East, guarding the Ryukyus, Bay Island, Qiongdao, Hong Kong Island, Huhai, Luda, Qindao, and Jinmen.

Because the United States forcibly occupied these places by land and sea, the Kuomintang was so angry that it did not dare to really turn against the US military, and the matter dragged on. However, the Kuomintang ambassador to the United States basically submits a letter of protest to the US State Department every other week, which has become a common practice, but there is no result.

Originally, in China, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kuomintang also communicated with the US ambassador to China from time to time, demanding the return of these places, but with the beginning of the war with the underground party, now it is no longer concerned about these places, but in the minds of many people in the Kuomintang Party, these places are better in the hands of the US military than in the hands of the underground party.

In addition to his own work, Li Junhao also always pays attention to the war situation in China, and now that Boss Dai is already his person, the most detailed battlefield information is constantly sent to his hands, so that he knows more than Chairman Chiang.

Of course, in this case, the underground party information about the emergence of the Kuomintang army was suppressed by Dai Li as much as possible. It was really impossible to suppress it, and Dai Lisa informed the new deputy director of the Sino-US Cooperation Institute in advance, Major General Nova Hickman.

Hickman was specially selected by Li Junhao from the CIA and sent to China, and he himself is a hidden member of the US Communist Party, and now he is naturally his own person, and he is responsible for informing the underground party of this kind of information, so that the underground party members who are undercover in the Kuomintang army should plot rebellion and evacuate, and there is basically no possibility of being caught.

Because there are many such undercover personnel, there is no need for Li Junhao to send information on the movement of the Kuomintang army and operations to northern Shaanxi, which reduces a lot of workload. Of course, some important situations will still turn around.

With the existence of such an intelligence line, it is basically impossible for the Kuomintang troops on the front line to win, and it is difficult to run even if they want to.

According to the latest information on January 20, the Lunan Campaign launched by the underground party ended successfully, and its East China Field Army annihilated two integrated divisions and a fast column in the Lunan Yi County and Zaozhuang areas, totaling more than 53,000 people.

Subsequently, the East China Field Army fought continuously, and from February 20 to 23, it carried out the Laiwu Campaign, together with the operations on the southern front and the eastern section of the Jiaoji Road, and again annihilated more than 200,000 enemies.

By this point, the underground party had occupied most of Lu Province and parts of central Jiangsu, Huaibei, and Huainan.

When Li Junhao announced this information at the joint staff meeting, everyone admired the combat effectiveness of the underground party army, you must know that the military aid they received in the previous war of resistance was only less than one-fifth of the Kuomintang (this is still the proportion in this world, not even one-twentieth in the original history), and most of the weapons and equipment were captured in battle, which was not a little worse than the regular army of the Kuomintang......

But it was in this situation that the underground party's East China Field Army actually won two battles in a row and wiped out nearly 300,000 Kuomintang troops, which has to be said to be a strong fighting force!

Get a glimpse of the whole leopard! At this time, everyone thought of what Li Junhao said before: The underground party will win!

——

In March, the Kuomintang mobilized 450,000 men from 24 reorganized divisions to form three corps, under the command of Gu Zhu, who was also the commander-in-chief.

The East China Field Army, on the other hand, was flexible and mobile, avoiding the sharp winds, striking and stopping at short notices, and seeking opportunities to annihilate the enemy......

At the joint staff meeting in early April, several generals began to study the situation on the battlefield in China again, and the focus was naturally on the battlefield in Lu Province - thanks to the accurate intelligence provided by the CIA, they were very clear about the situation on the battlefield.

After some discussion, Marshall, who was the most proficient in land warfare, judged that this time it should be the victory of the Kuomintang army, and with 450,000 mechanized troops equipped with all American weapons, and in a steady and steady way, it was basically certain that it would be a complete victory to attack the underground party troops with only 270,000 menchanted troops, lack of heavy equipment, and backward weapons.

Li Junhao didn't refute him on the spot, just laughed - he wanted to see what would become of the old man Marshall's (67 years old) face when the actual results came out two months later?

——

On 16 May, the East China Field Army won the victory in the Battle of Menglianggu, completely annihilating the 74th Division and a regiment of the 83rd Division, one of the five main forces of the Kuomintang, with a total of more than 32,000 men. So far, the Kuomintang has failed to attack the base areas in Lu Province.

After learning the news, Admiral Marshall sighed very much and said: The troops of the underground party are too strong, and the commanders are also competent, and they will be the final victors in this war!

Because of his judgment, the members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff are glad, fortunately with Pan Sen's reminder, the United States does not support the Kuomintang, otherwise it would be a shame now! ——

In late May, the White House chief of staff, five-star Admiral Wilhelm Leahy, who felt that he had fulfilled his historic mission, submitted his resignation to Roosevelt and applied for retirement - he was 72 years old by this time.

Roosevelt had great respect for the veteran general, and after unsuccessful persuasion, he approved his resignation and held a farewell reception for him at the White House......

After Leahie's retirement, Roosevelt was going to appoint Marshall as the new White House chief of staff, but at this moment, I don't know if it was discussed with Leahy, and the 76-year-old Secretary of State Hull also submitted his resignation, with the same resolute attitude, saying that he had been secretary of state for 22 years, and he should retire and spend time with his family......

As a result, two important positions were vacant at the same time, and Roosevelt was a little big-headed!
