    Shu Tongwen hurried to the forward headquarters of the Wannan Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in Longxugou. When he entered the conference room under the leadership of Liu Dagu, he found that the atmosphere inside was quite solemn.  Xu Shijiu leaned on the back of the chair, his face looking a little pale.  Seeing Shu Tongwen come in, Xu Shijiu just nodded at him and continued talking.  "The analysis of the combat effectiveness of Little Japan's UR Division before the war should be credible. Little Japan's UR Division has three infantry regiments, one engineering regiment, one baggage regiment, and one artillery regiment, plus an  The total strength of the cavalry brigade is about 18,000. "However, after participating in the Battle of Changheng and the Battle of Liugui, especially in Hengyang, the Japanese UR Division was unable to attack for a long time and suffered a lot of casualties.  The most optimistic estimate is that the Japanese UR Division still has half of its combat strength, which is very good. " "This means that the Japanese UR Division has at most 10,000 combat troops left.  I'm afraid there won't be too much technical equipment, and there shouldn't be much ammunition left. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been overwhelmed by the 40th Division Artillery Regiment in the previous battle in Guanqian Town.  , the Japanese UR Division has invested at least two and a half infantry regiments, which means that there will not be too many defenders stationed at various strongholds such as Juanqiao, Yunguang Temple, Yaqian Town, etc.  Bridge, at most one squadron." "In the first stage of the L Battalion's attack on Juanqiao, the development of the battle was completely in line with our judgment." "However, in the second stage, at least two heavy machine gun squadrons suddenly appeared at Juanqiao.  On the position, the L Battalion was caught off guard and the entire army was destroyed. I judged that the two heavy machine gun squadrons of Little Japan could never ambush in the Juanqiao position in advance, but should have been transferred from other places. " Gao Shenxing interjected.  : "The question is, how did the two heavy machine gun squadrons of Little Japan be transferred here? Duzi's artillery battalion has completely blocked the communication channel between Juanqiao and the outside world." Xu Jiujiu nodded and said in a deep voice: "About  I have been thinking about this problem for half the night. I think there is only one possibility, that is, Little Japan has repaired the network of secret passages connecting various peripheral strongholds and Chizhou City in advance, turning it into a complete defense system.  "Secret channel network? Defense system?" Gao Shenxing, Li Zihan and other officers looked at each other.  "If it is a secret tunnel network, then everything will be explained." Xu Jiujiu continued, "It is precisely because Little Japan built the secret tunnel in advance that Little Japan's commando team had the opportunity to bypass the L18 Regiment in front and suddenly attack Chen Shizhang.  The division headquarters launched a surprise attack, and the 40th Division was caught off guard and collapsed. It was precisely because Little Japan had built a secret tunnel in advance that Yoshikawa was able to unknowingly deploy two heavy machine gun squadrons from Yunguang Temple.  Reinforcing Jin Guanqiao, the L regiment and the L battalion suffered a big loss because they were caught off guard. " "It's really possible." Gao Shenxing nodded, and then became extremely angry, "If it was really a secret, why didn't Chen Shizhang and Huang Baitao do it earlier?  Remind us?" Li Zihan also frowned for a moment. If things were as Xu Shijiu suspected, then Chen Shizhang and Huang Baitao still refused to remind them even though they knew that Little Japan had built secret passages between various strongholds.  The Wannan Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army is somewhat unjustifiable.  However, before Gao Shenxing finished speaking, Ye Ruxue, the director of the intelligence department, hurried in and reported: "Commander, the 3rd Army just sent a telegram saying that there are secret passages connecting various strongholds in Little Japan. The 40th Division just ate the little  The Japanese secret channel's huge losses have made us more vigilant. "What's the point of reminding us now?" Gao Shenxing said angrily, "Did they go there earlier?"  There was at least four hours between the raid on Little Japan and the time we suffered losses at Juanqiao. Were Huang Baitao and Chen Shizhang gone during such a long time? " "Old Gao, Commander Huang and Commander Chen may have been negligent," Li Zihan said.  explained.  "Negligence?" Gao Shenxing said, "Zihan, are you treating me like a three-year-old child? Huang Baitao and Chen Shizhang are not cadets who have just graduated from the Central Military Academy. They have participated in big battles, if not a hundred, at least.  Eighty, right? They still don¡¯t know what such information means?¡± Li Zihan was speechless. If Huang Baitao and Chen Shizhang really discovered the secret of the secret passage, they neglected to inform the Wannan Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army because they were busy with other things.  , this is indeed unreasonable, unless they have ulterior motives at all.  Gao Shenxing said angrily: "I think they have ulterior motives at all." "Okay, Lao Gao, stop talking." Xu Shijiu waved his hands and said, "It is better to ask for yourself than to ask for others. We never expected the Third Army to be able to  How can you help us?" After a pause, Xu Jiujiu continued, "Now that we know about the secret passage, our tactics must also be adjusted. It seems that a quick victory will not work.  We can hope for a long siege." Gao Shenxing snorted and sat back angrily.     (pointSecant line) When Yoshikawa Yoshiyoshi arrived at Juanqiao, the battle there was already over.  After inspecting the positions, news came from the forward observation post that the Wannan Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army from various directions such as Yunguang Temple and Yaqian Town, as well as the Wannan Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in front of Juanqiao Bridge, had all withdrawn. However, previously, the Wannan Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army had withdrawn.  However, the occupied position was not given up.  At this time, the sky was already bright. Yoshikawa Yoshiyoshi was originally worried that the Wannan Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army would launch a more violent attack during the day. However, what surprised him was that in the next few days, the Wannan Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army  There was no further attack on Chizhou and several major peripheral strongholds.  On Chuanwanzhou and Baishazhou, the Wannan Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army, with the cooperation of the New Fourth Army and local militia, launched a fierce attack on the puppet troops stationed on these two sandbanks.  Due to the terrain restrictions of Chuanwanzhou and Baishazhou, it was impossible to build strong fortifications, and the navy's gunboats were not mobilized in large numbers at the beginning, so the need to protect the Yangtze River waterway was not urgent, so Yoshikawa Yoshiyoshi did not pay much attention to these two areas.  To defend the sandbanks, only one battalion of the puppet army was sent to garrison these two sandbanks. When the small Japanese combined fleet was completely destroyed in the Battle of Leyte Gulf, the Japanese base camp had to transfer most of the ships from the Chinese battlefield to prepare for home defense, thus  As a result, the Yangtze River waterway became fragile. When Yoshikawa Yoshiyoshi tried to strengthen the defenses of Chuanwanzhou and Baishazhou, it was already too late.  Soon, Chuanwanzhou and Baishazhou were lost one after another.  ¡°Obviously, the Wannan Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army has changed its tactics.  Originally, Xu Jiujiu thought of taking advantage of the depleted Japanese UR Division to recapture Chizhou City in one fell swoop. However, after losing the first battle, Xu Jiujiu immediately realized that the time to regain Chizhou was not ripe, at least at this stage.  The Wannan Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army did not have the strength to regain Chizhou.  Immediately, Xu Jiujiu changed the storm to a siege, preparing to continue to weaken the Japanese army through a long-term siege. When the Japanese army was weakened to a certain extent, he would launch the final blow.  Xu Shijiu did not expect that the siege would last eight months.  In the past eight months, Little Japan's UR Division was basically trapped in Chizhou City and several peripheral strongholds, which put great pressure on their logistics, because after the Battle of Leyte Gulf, Little Japan's last remaining sea  The air force has been completely wiped out. Therefore, not only the safety of sea transportation channels can no longer be guaranteed, even the safety of inland waterways such as the Yangtze River cannot be guaranteed.  Under the continuous harassment of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, the New Fourth Army and the Central Army in southern Anhui, the transportation of the entire Yangtze River waterway in Little Japan was almost paralyzed. The delivery of supplies to the base camp was intermittent, and sometimes no supplies could be obtained for several months. Central China  The Japanese troops in each occupied area could only raise supplies by themselves.  Under the siege of the Wannan Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, the New Fourth Army and the Central Army of the Third Theater District, the Japanese army in southern Anhui was in the most difficult period and could only receive a small amount of rations every day. By July of the 1930s, the UR Division even had no food supply.  It began to become difficult, and the supply of military supplies became even more scarce. Now each Japanese soldier only has fifty rounds of ammunition left.  As we enter August, two major events that shocked the world happened.  First, the United States dropped two atomic bombs on Nagasaki and Hiroshima in Little Japan. After the violent explosion, the huge mushroom cloud that rose into the sky shocked Little Japan. Hirohito and the fanatical Japanese people were extremely surprised to find out.  , if they still want to continue to resist, what awaits them may not only be the destruction of the country, but even the destruction of the race.  Then, the Soviet Union declared war on Japan.  Seeing the U.S. Army, Navy and Air Force approaching the Japanese mainland step by step, the Soviet Union was unwilling to lag behind and declared war on Japan on August 8, 1934. Then it dispatched 1.5 million troops from the Sino-Mongolian and Sino-Soviet borders to invade Northeast China to attack the Kwantung Army of Japan.  Launched an overwhelming attack.  At this time, the elite of Japan's Kwantung Army, as well as most of its technical equipment, had been deployed to the Pacific battlefield and were basically exhausted under the artillery fire of the U.S. Army and Navy. Most of the soldiers who were later supplemented were industry veterans who had retired for many years.  Workers, the elderly and even children.  Therefore, although the Kwantung Army still has 700,000 men, its combat effectiveness has been extremely weak. It is completely vulnerable to the Soviet Red Army, which is armed to the teeth. The Soviet Red Army almost swept away the fallen leaves in the autumn wind and easily wiped out the Northeast.  The Kwantung Army.  Encouraged by the U.S. and Soviet troops, Chairman Chiang finally ordered the Nationalist troops on various battlefields to launch a counterattack. The Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army also launched a massive counterattack on the battlefield behind enemy lines. The Shandong Bureau of the Communist Party of China even issued an ultimatum to little Japan in Shandong.  , ordering them to surrender unconditionally.  At this time, everyone could see that Little Japan was about to lose its hold.
