The Rise of the Great Powers in the War of Resistance

The second day of Jinan's recovery.

Chongqing, the official residence of Chairman Chiang.

Yesterday, when he learned that the Eighth Route Army had regained Jinan, Generalissimo Jiang felt inexplicably irritated. Early this morning, Generalissimo Jiang called several high-level KMT officials, including He Yingqin and Chen Cheng, to discuss how to deal with it.

Lao Jiang sat down tall, looked around at the party-state elites present, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, the Eighth Route Army recovered Jinan yesterday, everyone must know it!"

All of you here are frowning secretly. The Eighth Route Army’s recovery of Jinan made everyone feel rather embarrassed. Since the national army in North China was ordered to counterattack, there has been thunder and rain. For a while, the recovery of the national army is only In more than a dozen small counties, the number of Japanese and puppet troops annihilated is equivalent to more than ten thousand people. [

Everyone has always looked down on them, but the Eighth Route Army, which is regarded as a muddy leg, did recover Jinan in one fell swoop, annihilated a whole division of the little devils, and captured tens of thousands of puppet troops.

Even Lao Jiang's complexion was not good-looking, and he sat there with a sullen face.

He Yingqin saw that everyone was silent, thought for a while and said: "Chairman, I heard that the Eighth Route Army has received strong air support from the No. 30 Sixth Army when it regained Jinan. In the air battle, the little devil shot down thirty or forty planes."

Hearing this, all of you here are secretly terrified. They did not expect the No.30 Sixth Army's air force to be so powerful.

Lao Jiang also had a gloomy face and said nothing.Hearing that the No.30 Sixth Army was so powerful, Lao Jiang felt uncomfortable, and his heart was filled with inexplicable irritability.

The Kuomintang elite present here.They spoke one after another, expressing their own opinions, and some advocated that measures should be taken immediately.Restrict the continued development of the Eighth Route Army and the No.30 Sixth Army; some even advocate temporarily making peace with the Japanese army and concentrating forces to "suppress the Communist Party"; some advocate concentrating superior forces and recovering several large cities.

Among them, what Chen Cheng advocates is to concentrate superior forces, recover Zhengzhou, Kaifeng and other places, and fight a few large-scale battles with the little devils, so as to shake the glory of the national army in resisting Japan. .And still so powerful.

For his own point of view, Chen Cheng even blushed arguing with the others and even slapped the table.

Lao Jiang silently watched everyone arguing endlessly. In Lao Jiang's heart, he was a little bit moved by the idea of ​​"suppressing the Communist Party". Before the War of Resistance.Lao Jiang himself advocated that "to fight against the outside world, we must first settle down at home."

But Lao Jiang thought about it, and gave up this idea. Now, the ranks of the "Communist" Party, whether it is the No.30 Sixth Army.The No.18 Army is relatively powerful, and it is not easy to "suppress the Communist Party".

After a long time, Lao Jiang raised his hands slightly, pressed them down gently, and said slowly: "Everyone, be quiet, the discussion just now was very good, but I personally agree with the little devil in North China. Several large-scale battles and the recovery of several large cities."

After Lao Jiang expressed his point of view, some of you present were surprised, some sighed, and some were happy. Among them, Chen Cheng was one of the happier people. What Lao Jiang said just now completely agreed with Chen Cheng's point of view.

Lao Jiang had already made a decision, so everyone stopped expressing their opinions, buried their opinions deeply in their hearts, straightened their backs, and listened carefully to Lao Jiang's instructions.

Lao Jiang looked at everyone with satisfaction, and then decided: "The Ministry of National Defense will immediately formulate a combat plan, implement it in the first theater, concentrate superior forces, and recover Zhengzhou, Kaifeng and other places within a few days."

The No.30 Sixth Army's air attack on the little devils in Beijing and Tianjin lasted for nearly ten days, killing at least hundreds of thousands of little devils. It is also very low.

The number of little devils in Beijing and Tianjin has dropped sharply from the original 10,000+ to 10,000+, and a large number of little devils are still wounded, and a large number of little devils' fortifications have been completely destroyed.

A heavy artillery brigade of the little devil located in the Beijing-Tianjin area was also blown up to nearly half of its cannons and a large amount of ammunition. If the little devil hadn't dispersed the heavy artillery brigade in advance, it might have been bombed to pieces Not left.

As for the puppet army, there were a large number of puppet troops in the Beijing and Tianjin areas, but the casualties were not large. The planes of the No. 30 Sixth Army focused on attacking the little devils, and they often turned a blind eye to these puppet troops. [

But even so, many puppet soldiers saw that the little devil suffered heavy casualties, and the No.30 Sixth Army was so powerful. Many puppet soldiers deserted one after another, took off their uniforms and went back to farming.

And many senior officers of the puppet army are in a constant state of panic. These officers of the puppet army used to be hard-core traitors, working for tigers, relying on little devils, and bullying the people to do all kinds of evil.

Unexpectedly, looking at the very powerful little devils, they were repeatedly defeated in front of the No.30 Sixth Army. The little devils in North China seemed to have lost their fortunes.

The No.30 Sixth Army achieved good results in Beijing and Tianjin, killing a large number of little devils. The anti-Japanese situation is very good, and the recovery of North China is just around the corner.

However, in the international arena, the situation of the anti-fascist war is not clear. The Allies seem to be at a disadvantage, but the Axis powers have the upper hand and have achieved good results.

Germany has almost occupied the entire territory of the European continent. Germany has fought several wars with the United Kingdom on the Western Front. The navy of the British Empire has suffered heavy losses in front of the powerful German submarine force.

Now, the British air force and navy have suffered serious losses, and they are no longer able to compete with the German army. In addition, a large number of industrial bases in the UK have been bombed, and the UK is already seriously injured and appears to be crumbling.

Germany is accumulating heavy troops in the English Channel, and may launch a landing war to land on the British mainland. In addition, the Germans have successfully developed missiles and fired dozens of missiles at the UK one after another. Shocked Britain up and down.

Germany's Eastern Front was also triumphant all the way in the Soviet Union, and advanced hundreds of kilometers into the Soviet Union. The vanguard of the German army was less than [-] kilometers away from Stalingrad. The Soviet army was resisting tenaciously, but suffered heavy losses.

Perhaps in the near future, Germany and the Soviet Union will have the famous Battle of Stalingrad. Now, both sides have hoarded heavy troops in Stalingrad, including a large number of armored clusters and a large number of heavy artillery units.

The famous tank in the history of the Soviet army, the t-34 tank was not developed. I don’t know if it’s a historical deviation or some other reason. Now the main tank of the Soviet army is far from being as good as the t-34 tank. Fortunately, the Soviet Union China's industrial base is strong, and the output of tanks is not low, otherwise it may have been defeated long ago.

In the Pacific battlefield, the naval battle between the Japanese army and the United States is also imminent. After nearly a month of preparations, both sides have made full preparations. The United States has already dispatched many warships such as aircraft carriers and battleships to supplement the Pacific Fleet, and they are already in the Pacific Ocean. Fleet service.

Secondly, several major shipyards in the United States are also running at full capacity, stepping up production, non-stop day and night. The US national war machine has been activated at a high speed and is exerting amazing efficiency.

Little Japan is also doing well in Southeast Asia. Most of the countries in Southeast Asia have been occupied by the Japanese army. The Japanese army has invested more than one million troops in Southeast Asia. It turned out that the British and French troops in Southeast Asia were either wiped out by little devils or surrounded in some small areas. Inside.

The situation of Little Japan in the Pacific battlefield and in Southeast Asia is not bad. Only in the North China battlefield, in front of the No.30 Sixth Army, Little Japan was defeated again and again, losing a lot of troops. The Sixth Army hated it to the bone, but there was nothing they could do.

Datong, No.30 Sixth Army Headquarters.

Yesterday, the Eighth Route Army headquarters sent a thank you telegram, thanking the No.30 Sixth Army for its air force support. The central government also sent a commendation telegram, highly praising Zhang Yunfei, and praising the No.30 Sixth Army’s strong support for the Eighth Route Army’s recovery of Jinan.

Today, several senior officials of the No.30 Sixth Army are in the small conference room of the headquarters, discussing the next battle situation. Now, the air strikes on the little devils in Beijing and Tianjin are coming to an end, and the ground troops will be deployed soon A wide range of attacks.

"Comrades! Our situation is gratifying. Little Japan has been deeply involved in the Pacific and Southeast Asian battlefields. Our air strikes against the little devils in Beijing and Tianjin have also achieved very good results. Next, we will start Ground attack."

Zhang Yunfei had a high-spirited look on his face.

Everyone in the meeting room was happy, with obvious smiles on their faces.It can be seen that everyone is full of confidence in the next battle. [

Now, the No.30 Sixth Army is fully prepared, has sufficient weapons and ammunition, and has gathered superior forces in the Beijing-Tianjin area. The morale of the soldiers is high, and everyone has great confidence in eliminating the little devils in the Beijing-Tianjin area. and confidence.

"Commander-in-Chief! Are we going to start a large-scale ground attack next?"

Deputy Commander-in-Chief Comrade Liu Dazhu, probably because he was so happy, asked in disbelief. Everyone around him laughed happily when he saw Liu Dazhu asking this question.

After asking, Liu Dazhu smiled a little embarrassedly, but his heart was still full of joy. The long-awaited large-scale ground attack was about to begin.

Everyone discussed some details together for a long time. In the end, Zhang Yunfei made a final decision. The air strike of the flying brigade will end at [-]:[-] pm today. Attack.
