    Seeing that the 104th Division was scared off by him, Yang Zhen, who breathed a sigh of relief, naturally would not chase after him. In addition to opening up the northbound transportation line, the troops led by Ma Chunsheng swept through Luobei and Foshan counties.  While one battalion continued to fight, Yang Zhen led the rest of the troops and honestly retreated to Xingshan Fortress to rest.  ¡¾.Com text¡¿

    Within a month, two battles were carried out almost continuously. Although the scale has not reached the battle level, it is not a small battle. Although the results are rich, the casualties caused to the troops themselves are also huge.  Except for Liu Changshun's second regiment, which is relatively intact, the rest of the troops have either not yet been replenished or have recently paid a heavy price and are in urgent need of replenishment.

    After the 104th Division was defeated in World War I, at least for a short period of time, except for the Japanese Fourth Division, there were no large Japanese troops in the entire Sanjiang Province of Manchuria, Yang Zhen moved his headquarters to a more geographically located location.  Xingshan Fortress is important and has more convenient connections with the arsenal.

    After the fighting at Guanmenzuizi Mountain subsided, Yang Zhen was busy repairing a regiment that had suffered heavy losses, using rescued workers to form a new supplementary regiment with prisoners of war as the skeleton, and transferring some veterans and backbones to form local troops.  Put more energy on Ma Chunsheng, the only one who is still continuing to fight.

    On the afternoon when the 104th Division was frightened away by Yang Zhen, who was half a blow and half a threat, Ma Chunsheng used the tactics of bluffing, luring snakes out of their holes, and setting up a mobile ambush to lure the Puppet Manchukuo Border Police Team out of Luobei County.  Luobei County, and surrounded and annihilated it in a ravine thirty miles west of Luobei County.

    After encircling and annihilating the puppet Manchukuo border police team in Luobei County, and waiting for a battalion reinforced by Yang Zhen, Ma Chunsheng took advantage of the good situation that there was no large Japanese and puppet troops in the entire Luobei, and used the few troops at hand to sweep across  The entire Luobei area and the eastern mountainous area of ??Foshan.  At a very slight cost of casualties, they successively captured a series of important targets such as Luobei County, Wutong River, Dulu River, and the three major gold mines in Beizhongka.

    Although they failed to seize Foshan County due to limited troops, they seized almost all strategic points at the junction of the two counties, successfully completed the task of opening up the communication line with the north, and seized more than 10,000 taels of alluvial gold from three gold mines.

    When sweeping through Luobei County, the troops commanded by Ma Chunsheng unexpectedly met at the junction of the southwest mountainous area of ??Luobei and Tangyuan with the remaining troops of the Anti-Alliance Third Route Army after the Western Expedition, and they met without knowing each other.

    After joining forces with the remaining troops after the Western Expedition of the Anti-Allied Third Route Army, after a brutal struggle in the winter of 1938, only a few dozen of the 29th Regiment of the Sixth Army and the remnants of the Second Division of the Third Army were left, Ma Chunsheng joined forces with the Third Route Army.  Under the guidance of the remaining troops of the Route Army who went down to the river, a small group of troops were sent to sneak across the Songhua River under the leadership of the former Second Route Army headquarters personnel. After painstaking search, they finally found themselves in a dense forest at the junction of Fujin, Tongjiang, and Baoqing.  They found the Seventh Army with only a hundred people left.

    After finding the remaining troops of the Seventh Army and the Third Route Army, Ma Chunsheng did not hesitate and immediately sent a platoon to escort them to join the headquarters that had moved to the Xingshan Fortress area.  After receiving Ma Chunsheng's telegram, Yang Zhen immediately telegraphed the commander in chief in Qingheishan.

    When the commander-in-chief who came after hearing the news saw the remnants of the Seventh Army that were haggard, with broken equipment, and had lost contact with him for a whole winter, he couldn't help crying quietly.

    As the saying goes, good things come in pairs. A week after Ma Chunsheng found the remnants of the Seventh Army who were oppressed by heavy Japanese and puppet troops in the dense forest of Baoqing, and before the battle of Qunce Mountain, Peng Dingjie was recalled to the team by Yang Zhendian.  They also took the headquarters of the Fifth Army, as well as the main force of the Fifth Army, which was only about a hundred people after the failure of the Western Expedition, and the Fifth Division of the Second Army active in the Ning'an and Dunhua areas, and arrived at Xingshan Fortress after more than 20 days of day and night march.  .

    In less than half a month, after the Second Route Army lost most of its main force in its western expedition, and after the Third Route Army's main force invaded the Songnen area, almost all the anti-alliance troops who remained in the Xiajiang area and continued to fight gathered in Xingshan.  Fortress area.

    The commander-in-chief was naturally the happiest person to join the Anti-Japanese Alliance in Xiajiang area, but the most troublesome person was Yang Zhen.  This does not include those at the division commander level, there are only two at the corps commander level alone.  Although the establishment of the army is large, the number of troops on hand is only more than 400 even including the five divisions of the Second Army within the First Army.

    In total, there are not as many soldiers as one's own organic battalion, and the equipment is even worse.  How to arrange these people is giving Yang Zhen a headache.  With the disparity in power between the enemy and ourselves and the space for movement being compressed to the extreme, letting them go back has no other effect except to swear that the Anti-Japanese Alliance is still fighting and has not been completely eliminated. It can only be a waste.  .

    You can stay, even though you will be named deputy commander-in-chief of the Second Route Army, commander of the Jidong Military Region and commander of the First Independent Division.  But when it comes to his qualifications in the Anti-Japanese Alliance, although he has strong troops and horses, he is an absolute junior.  Although ***'s troops don't pay much attention to seniority, there is also the question of whether they can command them.

      What¡¯s more, there are still institutional issues involved.  There are not many of these troops, but they almost belong to three different front army organizations of the Anti-Japanese Alliance.  There are less than fifty people in total, but there is one division and one regiment. The remaining troops of the Third and Sixth Army belong to the Third Route Army.

    The total number of soldiers is more than 200, which is also the largest number among the current anti-alliance forces. The Fifth Army and the Seventh Army are part of the Second Route Army.  Among them, the Fifth Army is still the starting force created by the commander-in-chief.  As for the Fifth Division of the Second Army, it is affiliated to the First Army in South Manchuria.  How to arrange these people really made Yang Zhen very embarrassed.

    In order to unify the struggle policy in the Xiajiang area, coordinate the unified actions of various ministries, and cooperate with each other in operations, on the third day after Peng Dingjie led him to find the headquarters of the Fifth Army and the fifth division of the Second Army, he served as the current top leader of the anti-Japanese struggle in the Xiajiang area.  The people's commander-in-chief held a meeting of cadres above the regiment level of the First, Second, and Third Route Army staying in the Xiajiang area.

    The meeting was awkward and not very smooth.  It doesn't matter that there are only more than fifty left-behind troops of the Third Route Army in total.  Unless they are willing to cross the vast mountains of the Lesser Hinggan Mountains to join the main force when they run out of ammunition and food.  Otherwise, they can only temporarily obey the command of the Second Route Army.

    And the Fifth Army of the Second Route Army is a force created by the commander-in-chief, so there is no problem.  At the beginning of the meeting, the commander of the fifth army took the lead in stating that everything must be resolutely obeyed by the commander-in-chief and headquarters, including of course Yang Zhen, the deputy commander-in-chief who is more than 20 years younger than him.

    "Compared to the cheerfulness of the commander of the Fifth Army, the acting commander of the Seventh Army seemed a little silent.  As the founder of the Seventh Army, his experience of acting as commander several times and being replaced several times made the commander appear very cautious.  In particular, the reason why the former commander of the Seventh Army died caused great controversy within the Seventh Army. Under the situation that the Seventh Army itself was somewhat unstable, the acting commander was even more silent.

    Under Peng Dingjie¡¯s persuasion and because of the increasingly difficult situation, the Fifth Division of the Second Army decided to go north for a temporary rest, but insisted on returning to the original combat location after the situation eased.  The reason is simple. The Fifth Division of the Second Army serves as the link between the North and South Manchu Resistance Alliance.  The withdrawal of the Fifth Division to the north means that the First Army, which is already in an extremely difficult situation, will be even more difficult after losing support from the direction of North Manchuria.

    The commander-in-chief means that under the heavy encirclement and suppression by the Japanese and puppet troops, it is already very difficult for the First Army, which is operating in the intimate areas of the Japanese and puppets, to persist.  At present, the only relatively safe method is for the Fifth Division to provide traffic personnel, and the Second Route Army sends a small unit to carry radios to establish direct contact with the First Army.

    The headquarters of the Second Route Army is responsible for persuading the First Route Army to withdraw across the entire line to the north.  Moved to Xiajiang and Jidong areas where the current situation has relatively eased.  So that they can fight hand in hand with the main force of the Third Route Army heading west and rely on each other.  As for the Fifth Division, there is no need to go south and they can stay in the Sanjiang area for training and fighting.

    But this somewhat stubborn young division commander insisted that after a short rest, the Fifth Division would return to the old base areas of Ning'an, Dunhua, and Antu.  He repeatedly emphasized that as long as the First Army continued to fight in southern Manchuria, he could not stay here.

    The meeting lasted for two days, but no clues were sorted out. This gave the commander-in-chief, who has always been decisive and decisive, a headache.  He couldn't help but cast his gaze on Yang Zhen, who was hiding aside and taking advantage of this rare opportunity to catch up on his sleep.  The commander-in-chief¡¯s meaning was obvious: ¡°You are better at solving difficult problems, so I¡¯ll leave this matter to you.¡±

    After receiving the Commander-in-Chief's look asking for assistance, Yang Zhen, who was awakened from his sleep by Guo Bingxun, couldn't help but scratch his head in embarrassment.  This matter involves the issue of unity among the three route armies, which is not easy to solve, especially when the three route armies are isolated from each other by the Japanese and puppet troops.

    It¡¯s just that since the commander-in-chief has kicked the ball to his side, it¡¯s not good for Yang Zhen not to speak.  But how to say it, he had no idea at all.

    What are the thoughts of Yang Zhen who have been busy these days for the replenishment forces these days?  According to his idea, all these troops would be reorganized into local military divisions, and they would continue to fight and establish guerrilla base areas in Luobei, Foshan, Suibin and other places.

    After pondering for a long time, Yang Zhen thought about the future fate of the 27-year-old Anti-Japanese Division Commander in front of him who died at the age of 27. Yang Zhen finally said: "Comrade Chen, I would like to thank all the comrades of the First Army for their efforts and sacrifices over the years.  , I personally admire it very much.¡±

    "You insist that without orders from the First Army Headquarters, you can only rest here for a period of time and then continue south to join the main force and cooperate with the main force to fight. I can understand this. We are all soldiers, and we should obey orders as our bounden duty. Moreover,  I understand what you mean."

    ¡°The separate activities of the three anti-alliance armies can not only expand the influence of our army and inflict a heavier blow to the Japanese army, but also play a role in mutual coordination and support  At the same time, it also avoids difficulties in raising supplies and avoids the risk of being surrounded and annihilated by the Japanese army because our troops gather in one place when the enemy is strong and we are weak.  "

    "But the current situation is different. Since the Japanese and puppets launched a major crusade against the Xiajiang area last year, the anti-union forces in the Xiajiang area have suffered serious losses. The main force of the Third Route Army has withdrawn westward, and the remaining troops have suffered heavy losses. The main force of the Second Route Army, the Fourth Army,  The strength of the Fifth Army declined sharply after the failure of the Western Expedition, and the Seventh Army was also compressed and unable to move in the mountainous areas of Baoqing and Fujin."

    "Since then, the First Army, which has lost its support in the direction of North Manchuria, can be said to be a lonely force persisting in the struggle in South Manchuria. The First Army, which has lost its support, has completed the plan of returning to the villages and merging households, and it has become increasingly difficult to raise supplies.  How long can the First Army hold on in the South Manchuria area? Especially when the First Army's division commander has rebelled and all the secret camps of the First Army are almost completely unsecured, how long can the First Army hold on? "

    "I have long been known to you as the Commander-in-Chief of the First Army, and I have long wished to fight alongside him. So I sincerely hope that you and your Fifth Division can stay. I also hope that you can help us with our work, so that all the way  It would be good for the army to withdraw here first to rest and take a breath."

    After that, Yang Zhen opened the map and said: "We have gone through two battles at Qunce Mountain and Shitou Miaozi, and severely damaged the Japanese 4th Division and 104th Division. It stretches from Foshan in the west to Suibin Songhua River and Heilongjiang in the east.  From the junction to the south to Tangyuan Jianshanzi, there are no large groups of Japanese and puppet armed forces. The anti-Japanese situation in the entire Xiajiang area can be said to be quite good."

    "However, although the situation is good at the moment, our troops are expanding too fast and there is an extremely shortage of experienced cadres, especially qualified political cadres. Moreover, our troops still need to focus on field operations and lack the cadres and troops to form local troops.  So the situation in the Xiajiang area is good now, but we have captured many places but cannot hold them."

    "If we cannot hold it, creating a solid anti-Japanese base area can only be empty talk. Without a base area, we are rootless duckweeds. What is lacking is not only weapons and ammunition, but also all materials, even the most basic things for human survival.  food."

    "If we want to break the Japanese army's suppression of us, we don't just need to transfer when necessary. Instead, we need to conduct joint operations on both internal and external lines. Local troops will be the main force on the internal lines, and a strong field army will be organized on the outer lines. This combat mode requires more than just  A field army with strong combat effectiveness needs tenacious local troops.¡±

    "Before, whether it was the Second Route Army or the Third Route Army, after the strategic transfer, the remaining troops were either too scattered or too small, and they were unable to form a cooperative pattern with the main force that jumped to the outside. Of course, this is related to the situation.  , but it cannot but be said that our military strength is very insufficient.¡±

    "The most critical thing is that due to the lack of personnel, local work is almost impossible to carry out, and the existing favorable situation cannot be brought into play at all. In order to create a stable rear for all anti-Japanese armed forces in Northeast China, this force that can defeat us must  I sincerely hope you can stay while holding this territory, and it would be better if all the troops from the First Army could come."

    Yang Zhen¡¯s words were not only addressed to the division commander, but also to all the cadres above the regiment level of the Second and Third Route Army present.  His words almost told all the cadres present at the regiment level and above about his future plans and strategic goals.  Moreover, I also made my attitude towards the future use of these anti-alliance forces very clear.

    Although he did not say it explicitly, Yang Zhen also told these people that all troops must be reorganized.  As for whether to stay in the army or go to work locally, whether to be reorganized into the main force or used as a local force, the headquarters will make unified arrangements.

    For this young commander who is younger than himself, but already has tens of thousands of well-equipped divisions at his disposal. He said that the strength of one division is almost as much as the total strength of the Anti-Japanese Alliance in its heyday. Although Commander Chen seems very  Silent, but very important in my heart.

    Although he thinks Yang Zhen¡¯s words still make sense and are his best choice at the moment.  But when he thought of fighting alone in South Manchuria, the current situation was already very difficult, and it would be even more difficult after he retreated to the north. He gritted his teeth and insisted on his principles and said: "I still say the same thing, as long as the headquarters approves it, I agree."  ¡±

    However, the tone that followed was a little loose: "We have a radio station at the headquarters of the First Army, but it is rarely used because other troops lack it. In this way, you will provide the password and escort. I will be the liaison officer. Let's go south to find our commander-in-chief.  Commander and General Political Commissar." Although he did not say this clearly, it was almost acquiescing to the commander-in-chief's suggestion.
