chongqing.

After being "busy" with Dai Chunfeng for a day, Zhang Anping did not go home directly after get off work. Instead, he put on makeup and went to a secret base prepared for himself.

Inside the stronghold, Zhang Anping was looking through the various intelligence gathered over the past three days.

All the information was encrypted, which meant he could quickly review it without translation.

Zhang Anping picked up a piece of intelligence with a special mark and looked at it quickly.

After reading it, Zhang Anping showed a knowing smile:

"It seems that you have made a choice."

This information came from Kunming and was sent by Lin Nansheng - but the person involved was Su Mosheng, the station chief of the Yunnan-Burma Station.

[After Su Mosheng executed Zhou Yu personally, he did not carry out the task that Zhang Anping had assigned him before leaving (to secretly investigate the underground party at the Yunnan-Burma Station). The manipulator behind the scenes, Lin Nansheng, secretly designed a play, a play that allowed Su Mosheng to discover that his good brother, Deputy Station Chief Shen Yuan, was involved in "smuggling".

After discovering that his good brother Shen Yuan was actually involved in smuggling, Su Mosheng seemed to be furious. He changed his tired look after executing Zhou Yu and immediately started a secret investigation.

At that time, Su Mosheng mistakenly thought that Shen Yuan wanted to replace Zhou Yu and become the umbrella for the unified military in this smuggling network.

But the investigation revealed that Shen Yuan was indeed involved in "smuggling", but he was not smuggling in the simple sense, but was acting as a matchmaker for the underground party - in other words, the underground party he wanted to investigate was most likely his good brother.

Lin Nansheng, who had been secretly watching Su Mosheng, discovered that facing the situation that his good brother, who he had been with day and night, was very likely to be an underground party member, Su Mosheng, who was loyal to Zhang Anping, hesitated at this time.

This finally made Lin Nansheng feel relieved.

Two days later, a piece of intelligence from Shen Yuan was handed over to Lin Nansheng:
Su cleaned up the mess.

That’s right, the reason why Su Mosheng discovered that his good friend Shen Yuan was involved in “smuggling” was because Shen Yuan deliberately let him go - once Su Mosheng took action against Shen Yuan, Shen Yuan, who had completed the matchmaking task, would immediately withdraw.

But Su Mosheng chose the latter. He secretly cleaned up the traces left by Shen Yuan and took the initiative to remove the flaws that could have put Shen Yuan in an irretrievable position. 】

Zhang Anping lit the information on fire and sighed softly as he watched the ashes quickly transform in the flames.

If he did not have the identity of an underground party member, he would naturally use Zhou Yu as a breakthrough point and slash at this huge smuggling network with a knife. How could Zhang Anping, who secretly assisted Jiang Sian in establishing a smuggling network in Shanghai, not know the dangers of such a smuggling network?
He would never sit idly by and watch these damn vampires suck his blood to their heart's content.

But what will be the result?
The worm shakes the tree!

The prince's anti-corruption efforts ended in vain after investigating Kong, Song, Jiang and Chen. What can he do?
This is also the reason why Zhang Anping sighed.

He also wanted to kill as many vampires as possible, but manpower is limited after all. Under the party-state system, doing things according to the law is really a joke!
……

After Su Mosheng passed the test, Zhang Anping naturally no longer had to suppress the personnel changes in Kunming.

Under his "suggestion", Su Mosheng was transferred to Kunming Station as the station chief of Kunming Station, and Shen Yuan succeeded Su Mosheng as the station chief of Yunnan-Burma Station.

With Su Mosheng taking over as the station chief of Kunming Station, the Military Control Commission in Yunnan entered Zhang Anping's "three-acre land".

Previously, the control of the Northeast Region, Beijing-Shanghai Region and the Loyal Rescue Army was seized by Dai Chunfeng, and many people in the Military Control Commission believed that Zhang Anping had lost power - this was also the reason why Mao Renfeng easily brought Zhou Yu under his command.

But as Mao Renfeng was defeated and fled to the Second Bureau, Chongqing Station Chief Xu Wenzheng was sent to the Bureau headquarters and sat on the bench, Kunming Station Chief Zhou Yu was removed and Su Mosheng was appointed as Kunming Station Chief, all the people in the Military Control Commission reacted:
Zhang Hansan is back again!

Mao Renfeng was once considered Boss Dai's most indispensable arm, but Mao Renfeng has now retreated to the Second Hall to retire. The flames of ambition of the veterans who had once jumped up because of Zhang Anping's fall from power have been extinguished in an instant.

I can’t afford to offend this god, so I’d better just put an end to my ambitions.

……

Zhang Anping's "house arrest order" was lifted after he "bowed to the powerful". After that, he followed Dai Chunfeng, handling Military Control Commission affairs for Dai Chunfeng and following Dai Chunfeng to deal with various powerful people. The former Zhang Shihao quickly became a party-state warrior who was well versed in the ways of the world and admired by everyone after bowing his head.

During this period, Zhang Anping only spoke up because of personnel issues at the Kunming Station. Apart from that, he did his best to play the role of a qualified successor.

But this situation did not last long. A piece of intelligence from Henan Province broke Zhang Anping's "silence":
The Japanese troops in northern Henan are frequently mobilizing their forces and are suspected to be rapidly increasing their troops.

After seeing this information, Zhang Anping thought:
coming!

He took a deep breath and issued an order in his own name to the Northeast, Beijing-Shanghai, and Pingjin districts:

Increase the efforts to obtain intelligence and investigate the Japanese troop movements at all costs.

Although the Northeast District and the Beijing-Shanghai District were taken away from Zhang Anping, the core members of these two districts were all Zhang Anping's direct subordinates. Once his orders were issued, they would naturally be given priority.

Although the Pingjin District was not within Zhang Anping's sphere of influence, Zhang Hansan was now the undisputed second in command of the Military Control Commission. After receiving Zhang Anping's order, the Pingjin District cursed Zhang Anping for having too long claws while mobilizing all its forces to execute the order.

The intelligence was gathered at the bureau headquarters. Under the intelligence analysis and judgment led by Zhang Anping, the Japanese army's troop deployment was gradually improved:

Since the beginning of February, the Japanese army has been secretly mobilizing troops to reinforce northern Henan. Up to now, the Japanese army has secretly mobilized more than 2 troops from the Northeast and North China, including four divisions, four brigades, and one tank division.

The Japanese army increased its troops in northern Henan for only one purpose:
Swallow Henan!

As soon as the Japanese army's number and strength were confirmed, Zhang Anping found Dai Chunfeng and reported the detailed intelligence to him. After seeing the conclusion drawn by Zhang Anping, Dai Chunfeng took Zhang Anping to the Lin Yuan official residence without saying a word.

Faced with the Japanese army's heavy military buildup in northern Henan, the attendant room naturally did not dare to be careless. After an analysis, it immediately called the King of Henan and asked him to prepare for battle.

When reporting the intelligence, Zhang Anping suggested to the attendant room that more troops should be sent to Henan, especially to send American-equipped divisions to reinforce Henan, but no one paid attention to his suggestion.

In the words of the servants, as an intelligence officer, do you know what strategy is?
Dai Chunfeng glared at Zhang Anping fiercely. Zhang Anping wanted to propose again, but was pulled out by Dai Chunfeng with a cold face.

In Dai Chunfeng's words: Everyone has his own job, do you understand? We are in charge of intelligence, and we are only responsible for passing on intelligence. If you do anything else, it is an overstepping of authority, do you understand?

Zhang Anping is helpless. It would be strange if others would pay attention to him.
It’s depressing. So fucking depressing!
Zhang Anping said to Dai Chunfeng in frustration:
"Uncle, Henan cannot be defended!"

"The King of Henan has been acting recklessly in Henan over the years. Under his command, hundreds of thousands of troops have lost their discipline and morale. Even though the Henan defenders are many times larger than the Japanese, if a war breaks out, they will have no will to fight at all!"

"If we don't send more troops to Henan, the situation in Henan will soon deteriorate!"

Dai Chunfeng looked at Zhang Anping with a cold face:
"You have to understand one thing. You are a member of the Military Control Commission, not a member of the Aide-de-Camp. There are some things that are not your turn to worry about. Do you understand?"

"Cousin!"

"Anping," Dai Chunfeng said in a gentle tone, "I don't know what the situation in Henan will be like, but if you continue to tangle like this, it will not be good for you or me. Do you understand?"

Zhang An calmed down. How could he not understand what Old Dai said?

But he really didn't want to give up!

But what if I am unwilling?
He actually had a lot of dirty information about the King of Henan, as well as a lot of solid evidence that the Henan defenders were demoralized. But Zhang Anping knew one thing better: these things would be useless even if he handed them over - and if he handed them over to Dai Chunfeng, these evidences would only become a token of Dai Chunfeng's friendship with Mr. Tang.

After kicking the tire in frustration, Zhang Anping gave up all his prejudices and set up an intelligence support center at the bureau headquarters to provide all-round intelligence support to the Henan District in order to prepare for the Central Henan Campaign that was bound to break out next.

……

In theory, the Henan defenders should have complete defensive fortifications - after all, the war of resistance has been fought to this point, and the front line of confrontation should be heavily armed and have many strongholds.

However, the Henan garrison that relied on the Yellow River to defend against the Japanese army did not have an indestructible line of defense. After receiving the intelligence analysis handed over by the attendant room, the Henan defenders began to build a line of defense - but the efficiency was incredibly inefficient!

The construction of the defense line began in early April, but by the end of mid-April, the defense line seemed to have been established, but its specific quality could be described as a "shoddy" project.

On April 4, the 17th Division of the Japanese Army forced its way across the Yellow River and headed straight for the defense line of the Provisional 37th Army.

The Provisional 15th Army had two divisions under its command, the newly formed 29th Division and the reserve 11th Division. When all units were equipped with American weapons, this unit, which was formed and expanded based on the Hebei Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army, seemed to have been forgotten.

Faced with a surprise attack by a Japanese division, the army fought against the Japanese with equipment that was even worse than at the beginning of the War of Resistance. However, they did not expect the Japanese to make a roundabout and advance deep into the enemy's territory. Three battalions made a roundabout and advanced advance and occupied Zhongmou County, putting the river defense positions of the Provisional 15th Army into a desperate situation of being attacked from both front and back.

Temporarily, the 15th Army had to withdraw from the battlefield.

The defeat of the 15th Temporary Army marked the beginning of a series of defeats and losses of territory.

The Japanese army launched multiple advances southward.

Thus, bad news came one after another. City after city was swallowed up by the Japanese army, and the speed of losing territory was almost as fast as the beginning of the full-scale war of resistance.

On May 5, Xuchang fell;

On May 5, the Japanese army arrived at Luoyang. On May 19, after six days of fierce fighting, this ancient city finally fell into the hands of the Japanese army.

In this battle premeditated by the Japanese army, the Henan defenders, with a force twice as large as the enemy, lost 37 cities in just 38 days and suffered the loss of soldiers - nearly killed or missing!

The failure of the Battle of Central Henan was actually predictable. Under the leadership of the Deputy Commander of the First War Zone and the King of Henan, the Henan defenders had poor military discipline and brought disaster to Henan, which was the direct cause of the failure of this war.

They had stationed troops in Henan for several years, and knowing that the Japanese army was eyeing them covetously, they did not devote all their energy to prepare for a fight at any time. Instead, they brought disaster to all directions. How could they not be defeated?

But is this all the reason?

Do not!
The core reason was the Nationalist government's passive resistance to the war. The people below followed suit and the superiors passively avoided war and eliminated dissidents. Faced with the threat from the Japanese army at any time, the Henan defenders had no awareness of the crisis of survival at all.

They shout about resisting the war, but the officials enrich themselves and withhold military pay. How can the soldiers stay ready for battle at any time?

The accumulation of problems over time finally led to this irreparable defeat.

However, after occupying most of Henan, the Japanese army did not stop there, but immediately turned its attention to Hunan and Guangxi.

The Changheng Campaign broke out on the same day the Central Henan Campaign ended!

Changsha is a thorn in the eyes of the Japanese. Since the full-scale invasion of China began in 1937, the Japanese army has fought three bloody battles with the Chinese army in the Changsha area, but each time was unsuccessful.

This time, the Japanese army, which was already at the end of its strength, once again launched an attack on Changsha.

At this time, more than two years had passed since the last (the Third Battle of Changsha).

Two years of passive avoidance of war is enough to bring about a qualitative change in an army!
On May 5, the Japanese army launched the Changheng Campaign. By June 25, this city, which had experienced four major battles, fell into the clutches of the Japanese army for the second time.

After the fall of Changsha, the Japanese army continued its advance and headed straight for Hengyang.

Since the Central Henan Campaign began on April 4, the Japanese army felt that they were invincible. They conquered Zhengzhou, Xuchang, Luoyang, and even Changsha, which had broken their teeth a few times. The small Hengyang would surely be captured soon.

But the Japanese army was wrong.

A small city like Hengyang (at that time Hengyang was the third largest city in the Kuomintang-controlled area), with a garrison of only 1.8 people, faced more than Japanese troops. It was like a coral reef in the raging waves. No matter how strong the storm was, it could not be destroyed.

47 days, a full 47 days!
1.8 Chinese soldiers, relying on an isolated city, held out for a full 47 days in the face of Japanese troops that outnumbered their own by several times while reinforcements were delayed due to various calculations!
There were more than 1.8 people, but at the end of the battle, only a mere were left!

This was different from surrendering during the pursuit, or surrendering after being surrounded. This was a bloody battle - facing enemies that were several times more numerous, every soldier around was fighting a bloody battle, filling this bottomless abyss of death with their brilliant lives.

More than 16,000 people fearlessly filled the abyss of death.

On August 1944, 8, faced with the delay in the arrival of reinforcements and with only more than 8 remaining soldiers, the commander of the th Army ordered a surrender.

Zhang Anping hated to see soldiers surrender the most, but after the surrender of the 10th Army, Zhang Anping, who had been providing intelligence support to the 10th Army, did not feel the slightest resentment.

Starting from the Battle of Central Henan, no matter how big the city is, even Changsha, where the Japanese army had suffered repeated defeats, how long did it only hold out under the garrison of Commander Xue's direct troops?

The Tenth Army, which was not considered an ace army, had less than 47 men in total. Facing an enemy that was at least five times its size, it relied on an isolated city to hold out for days, truly escaping death!
Forty-seven days!
Climb, the reinforcements should have crawled from Chongqing to Hengyang.

However, the reinforcements could not arrive due to various excuses, reasons and pretexts. The time created by more than 16,000 warriors was ultimately no match for the internal disputes and intrigues.

After forty-seven days of holding out, the long-awaited reinforcements never arrived.

Hengyang fell, and the Changheng Campaign...ended.

The Japanese troops who occupied Hengyang, after a short rest, drew their swords and pointed them at Guilin and Liuzhou.

……

Occupy Guilin and Liuzhou, and open up the land route from Northeast China to Vietnam (through Henan, Hunan, Hubei, and Guangxi). This is why the Japanese army launched the Central Henan Campaign from the very beginning - and this plan was called Operation No. 1 by the Japanese army.

The reason why the Japanese army made Operation No. 1 was that the sea transportation channels could not be preserved due to the successive defeats of the navy, and they were in urgent need of various supplies in Southeast Asia, so Operation No. 1 was finalized by the headquarters and implemented by the China Expeditionary Army.

While the Changheng Campaign was still going on, Zhang Anping made intelligence speculation that the Japanese army intended to open up Henan, the two lakes and Guangxi, and emphasized that the next main attack direction of the Japanese army would be Guangxi.

In fact, the staff of the National Government were not stupid. After the Japanese army launched wars in Henan and Hunan successively, they realized the strategic goal of the Japanese army to open up the mainland corridor.

However, during the Battle of Changheng, after the Japanese army launched a tentative attack on Guizhou, the chief aide-de-camp made a misjudgment - or it was not a misjudgment. It is very likely that he was frightened by the rapid advance of the Japanese army and did not dare to gamble whether the mountains of Guizhou could stop the Japanese army. So when the Battle of Changheng was fierce, the National Government strengthened the defense of Guangxi to a certain extent on the one hand, and strengthened Guizhou's military strength on a large scale on the other.

So, after the Japanese army won the Changheng Campaign and headed straight for Guilin and Liuzhou, they were shocked to find that the number of nationalist troops in the direction of their main attack was far less than they had imagined.

Seeing this situation, the Japanese army excitedly divided into two routes, north and south, and attacked Guilin and Liuzhou directly.

The 11th Army in the north moved south from Hengyang and advanced along the Hunan-Guangxi Railway, while the 23rd Army in the south moved west from Zhaoqing, Guangdong.

On October 10, the Battle of Guilin officially began - this unknown battle was destined to be tragic even before it began.

Because the Military Secretariat wanted to abandon the Guilin-Liuzhou line from the very beginning, but at Bai Zhuge's insistence, the 131st Division and the 170th Division were left in Guilin. However, both divisions were not fully staffed, and with the thousands of militiamen who came to support, the total strength was only about .

Like many other defensive battles, the Battle of Guilin was also a battle in which no reinforcements could be received. From October 10 to November 28, despite the tenacious fighting of the Guilin defenders in the face of the Japanese army's heavy artillery and poison gas bombs, this hopeless defensive battle ultimately ended in defeat, just like all the other defensive battles staged in recent years.

But what is tragic is that the commander of the 131st Division, Kan Weiyong, could have evacuated, but still chose to end his mission by committing suicide.

Liuzhou was the headquarters of the Fourth War Zone, but after the fall of Guilin, Liuzhou did not choose to fight a defensive battle without waiting for reinforcements. The National Army evacuated in a hurry, and the Japanese army occupied Liuzhou without bloodshed.

Although the Japanese army continued to pursue the enemy, they were confused by the heavy mountains in Guizhou. After capturing Dushan, they gave up the plan to attack Guizhou and withdrew into Guangxi.

The Henan-Hunan-Guangxi Campaign, which lasted throughout 1944, came to an end.

In this campaign, which lasted eight months and consisted of three large-scale battles, the National Army repeated the great defeat at the beginning of the War of Resistance Against Japan. It ended at the cost of losing four major cities, 146 small and medium-sized cities, 7 air force bases and 36 airports, losing 20 square kilometers of land, losing to soldiers, and abandoning million compatriots.

……

These eight months were a life worse than death for Zhang Anping.

In order to avoid the great defeat that occurred in the original time and space, he set up an intelligence support center and even incorporated the intelligence force of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics into it, so as to provide as detailed intelligence as possible to the front line.

He even suggested to the Secretariat more than once that the American-equipped divisions and semi-American-equipped divisions deployed in Yunnan be transferred to Hunan and Guangxi.

But people's words are light.

Although the American-equipped divisions and semi-American-equipped divisions were finally mobilized, their destination was Guizhou, not Guangxi, which the Japanese army had been eyeing.

This battle, which lasted for eight months, made Zhang Anping depressed.

Zhang Anping believed that the defeat in the Battle of Central Henan was enough to wake up the Nationalist government, but the fact was that it had no effect!
What Zhang Anping could not understand the most was Hengyang - 47 days in the era of fierce fighting was enough time for a rookie who had never fired a gun to be trained into a soldier who could go to the battlefield, but the 47 days in Hengyang was a desperate wait.

However, the reinforcements were slow to arrive, including Commander Xue, who was famous for his Tianlu tactics!
After eight months, Zhang Anping, who was depressed, felt extremely depressed. Facing the Nationalist army that could not be saved even by hanging on the wall, after returning home after not visiting for several months, Zhang Anping lay on the bed and said to his wife:

“This great defeat was actually doomed after the Spring Offensive (1939).”

In 1938, after the end of the Battle of Wuhan, the Sino-Japanese War entered a strategic stalemate phase. In the spring of the following year, the National Army launched the Spring Offensive - the only proactive strategic offensive by the National Army after the outbreak of the War of Resistance.

Since the spring offensive, the Nationalist government has fallen into a vicious circle of trading space for time - in fact, at this time, the Nationalist government still wanted to fight the war, but it no longer had the courage to take the initiative to attack the Japanese army, and every battle was initiated by the Japanese army.

During this period, the Southern Anhui Incident, which brought grief to the relatives and joy to the enemies, was brewing!
But since the outbreak of the Pacific War, the Nationalist government has begun to "wait for victory", that is, hoping that the Allies will win the war and then they can win without any effort.

The idea of ​​passive resistance to the war reached its peak.

After a few years, they finally tasted the bitter fruit - a "hearty" rout in Henan, Hunan and Guangxi, which completely tore apart the National Government's status as one of the Big Four in 1943!

Don’t Chinese soldiers fight against the Japanese?
In the Battle of Hengyang, 1200 people faced the Japanese army that was five times their size. After days of bloody fighting, only people survived!
In the Battle of Guilin, the 131st Division still held on to Guilin even though they knew that the Nationalist government had betrayed even the Central Army. When the city was breached, the division commander committed suicide, and thousands of defenders died in the battle!
The root of the problem lies in this corrupt regime! (End of this chapter)
