From the 30th year of the Republic of China to the 33rd year of the Republic of China, the national army was reorganizing and training, and the Communist army was not idle. They were developing their armed forces and seizing territory day and night on the battlefield behind enemy lines, and then received equipment from the Japanese and puppet troops. By the 33rd year of the Republic of China, At the beginning of the year, the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army combined had more than one million people. If counted as militia, the Communist Party's armed force had even exceeded three million people. In view of the fact that little Japan was declining, the Communist Party's armed force was growing unprecedentedly. Comrade Chiang Kai-shek The commander had to make strategic adjustments and listed the Communist Party as the primary enemy. In theaters with Communist armed activities, the National Army even adjusted its military strength from defending the Japanese army to defending the Communist army. To make it clearer, Chairman Chiang and the senior generals of the party and state were calmly waiting for the Japanese army to surrender and then go into full-scale war with the Communist army. However, they never expected that the little Japanese army would come back to the country before he died. The army was caught off guard and the result was extremely miserable. This is like playing basketball. You have just received a pass from a teammate. Your body has not yet adjusted, but your mind is already thinking about the next move. As a result, your body cannot keep up with your mind, and the result can only be a mistake. However, Chairman Chiang's mistake was a bit too cruel. It directly destroyed more than 400,000 square kilometers of land, more than 100 large and medium-sized cities, more than 60 million people, and most of the factories. Little Japan turned back on its deathbed. Miraculously opened the mainland transportation line from Northeast China to Vietnam. (Dividing line) "Commander, it's time for you to take medicine." Ye Ruxue walked into the office, took away the newspaper placed by Xu Jiujiu on the table, then put a pill into Xu Jiujiu's palm, and then He turned around and poured a glass of water for Xu Shijiu. The year before last, Xu Shijiu had an accident when he was demonstrating a shoulder-mounted mortar to the artillery soldiers. A recruit did not follow the shooting instructions. As a result, his head was smashed by the barrel. Xu Shijiu, who was standing next to him, had an accident. Jiu was also affected, and his head was hit hard by the hot barrel. This accident directly caused Xu Jiujiu's old injury. He was in a coma for more than a month before he woke up. He continued to have a high fever while in the coma. It was Li Mu who risked his life and sneaked into Chizhou City to get two for Xu Jiujiu. A box of penicillin saved him from death. After that, Xu Jiujiu's physical condition went from bad to worse. Every time the weather turned cooler in late autumn, Xu Jiujiu's health would start to deteriorate. It was like this the year before, last year, and this year is no exception. A small cold would kill Xu Jiujiu. Nineteen lingered in bed for more than ten days. Xu Jiujiu stuffed the pill into his mouth, drank it with warm water, and then sighed: "Oh, my body is getting more and more useless. Four years ago, I could still kill Weiyuan easily on the battlefield. But now, let alone a master like Ohara, I am afraid that even ordinary Japanese soldiers can defeat me. " "Commander, it is not easy for little Japan to defeat the Tiger of Southern Anhui like you. You don't often say that in this world. Isn't the person who can kill you Xu Jiujiu born yet?" Ye Ruxue smiled, but there was an unconcealable worry deep in her beautiful eyes. Xu Jiujiu's physical condition was actually not optimistic. "That is, unless I don't want to live anymore, little Japan wants to kill me, but I really don't have the ability." Xu Jiujiu grinned and continued, "Director Ye, has the latest war briefing been released? ?" Ye Ruxue was just about to say, "I don't know." Gao Shenxing's voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "Come down, Lao Xu, this issue's war briefing is here. Guilin, Liuzhou, and Nanning have all fallen, and Little Japan has fallen. They have already reached Dushan, Guizhou, and Chiang Kai-shek is preparing to flee to Xining." As he spoke, Gao Shenxing walked in with a newspaper. Li Zihan also walked in behind Gao Shenxing, frowning and retorted: "Old Gao, what are you talking about? The Japanese army that invaded Guizhou only had one regiment of 3,000 men. After being counterattacked by the Japanese army, they have all withdrawn. "So what if Little Japan withdraws from Guangxi? Wouldn't the entire territory of Guangxi still be opened up?" Gao Shenxing said, "I can't imagine, I simply can't imagine that the Battle of Liugui, which lasted for more than two months, ended up like this." After speaking, Gao Shenxing handed Xu the war briefing in his hand. nineteen. "Silverfish, a group of silverfish." After Xu Jiujiu read the war briefing, he was so angry that he slapped his hand on the table, and then coughed violently. Ye Ruxue hurriedly came forward to relieve Xu Jiujiu's back. Gao Shenxing and Li Zihan also stepped forward and asked with concern: "Old Xu, are you okay?" "It's okay, he's not dead yet." Xu Jiujiu finally regained his breath and sighed, "It's just that Even the Battle of Liugui would end in such a disastrous defeat, which is really unexpected. "In fact, Xu Jiujiu was already aware of the potential danger as early as the beginning of this year. As the U.S. military advances in the Pacific battlefield and gradually approaches the Japanese mainland, the connection between the Japanese mainland and the Japanese military in Southeast Asia is in danger of being cut off by the U.S. navy and air force at any time. In view of this,The Japanese army is very likely to launch a large-scale attack to open up land lines of communication. Xu Shijiu also borrowed Li Zihan¡¯s hand to send a telegram to the Chongqing Military Commission. But in the end, Li Zihan¡¯s radio waves were like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no news. Sure enough, starting from April, the Japanese army launched a large-scale offensive operation on the Chinese battlefield. The first to bear the brunt was the Henan battlefield. In just one month, the southern section of the Ping-Han Railway, including Zhengzhou, Luoyang and other major cities, was completely lost. . After opening up the southern section of the Ping-Han Railway, the Japanese army immediately deployed heavy troops to attack Hunan. After nearly three months of hard fighting, the Japanese army finally captured Hengyang, fully realizing their pre-war intentions. However, during the Battle of Changheng, the Japanese army also paid an extremely heavy price. More than 20,000 corpses were left under Hengyang City alone. In the Battle of Heng, the Japanese suffered casualties as high as more than 70,000. Two months later, the Japanese army won the Battle of Liugui. The strategic goal of opening up the mainland's communication lines formulated before the war has been fully realized. "Silverworms harm the country, silverfish harm the country." Xu Jiujiu sighed. Gao Shenxing looked back at Li Zihan and said coldly: "Zihan, this is Chairman Chiang that you are loyal to, and this is the party-state that you are loyal to. Look, what fucking things has he done? At this time, he was so defeated by the little Japanese." Li Zihan remained silent. He was also shocked by the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Henan, Hunan and Guangxi. Judging from the battlefield in southern Anhui, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army has seriously degraded. Now, except for a few county towns such as Chizhou and Tongling, which are protected by naval gunboats and the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui does not want to attack desperately, the surrounding gun towers and strongholds have not yet been recovered. Has been completely destroyed. In fact, if a counterattack is launched at all costs, the Wannan Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is now capable of recovering Chizhou, Tongling and even the entire southern Anhui. After all, with the main force of the Japanese llth army being transferred to the Guangxi battlefield, the remaining forces in southern Anhui are now extremely weak. A glimpse of one spot tells the whole story. The Japanese army on the battlefield in southern Anhui was like this. The Japanese army on other battlefields was probably not much stronger. The Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army also fought hard in the battlefields of North China, Shandong, Central China, and East China. Don¡¯t you dare to show up in the county seat and various strongholds? However, the Central Army, which had been trained for three years and received a large number of fine weapons and had a strong air force to cooperate with the operation, was actually defeated by the Japanese army whose combat effectiveness had been seriously reduced. This is called Li Zi, who has always been loyal to the party and the country and to Chairman Chiang Kai-shek. Why is it so embarrassing? "Fortunately, although this battle of Henan, Hunan and Guangxi was defeated, it was not without gains." Xu Jiujiu sighed, and then continued, "At least, the military strength of Little Japan is more dispersed and weaker, let's say Wannan, Little Japan The Japanese garrison has been reduced to only one infantry brigade, and it's time for us to fight back." Gao Shenxing and Li Zihan perked up upon hearing this. The time is indeed ripe. "Old Gao, help me." Xu Jiujiu wanted to stand up, but found that his body was weak and weak, so he called Gao Shenxing to come over and help him. However, before Gao Shenxing came over, Ye Ru, who was standing next to Xu Jiujiu, Xue had already stretched out her little hand first, but Xu Shijiu didn't respond.
