In 1940, Sitler planned the "Sea Lion Operation" against Britain, requiring the Japanese and Germans to fight against Britain at the same time. The Japanese army drove away all British expatriates in China and seized British interests in China. The Japanese army's actions directly affected both Britain and the United States.
In order to give Japan a little warning, the United States frozen trade with Japan, including oil necessary for war. Without oil, Japanese aircraft could not take off, ships could not sail, and Japan could not continue to invade and expand overseas.
Japan believes that to seize air and sea power in the Pacific to make the road to the south unobstructed, it is necessary to destroy Pearl Harbor first, which is a decision to take risks.
In the early morning of December 7, 1941, under the command of Sanben56, the Japanese army suddenly attacked the US Navy's Pacific Fleet's base at Pearl Harbor and the US Army and Navy aircraft on Oahu Island with aircraft carriers, carrier-based aircraft.
The site caused more than 3,000 casualties of US troops and destroyed a large number of ships and aircraft.
On December 8, 1941, the United States declared war on Japan. On the same day, Germany and Italy declared war on the United States, and then the United States declared war on Germany and Italy. On December 9, 1941, China officially declared war on Japan, Germany and Italy. The Pacific War broke out.
The Japanese army made enemies everywhere and offended the powerful United States, which had not wanted to participate in World War II. The National Government saw the dawn of victory in the War of Resistance. The scheming Chairman Chiang commanded the War of Resistance and deployed to eliminate internal threats.
Shortly after Jiang Hailong heard the news that Yingzi had returned to China, he received another message from Zhang Hu. Feng Ying was sent to Yan'an to study for at least one year. The two women's farewell without saying goodbye made his mood drop to freezing point. Thinking of Feng Ying
That night, when he wanted to speak but stopped agreeing to himself, he felt that it was inconvenient for him to tell him whereabouts and said goodbye to him with his body.
Bai Lu came carefully to tell him that he intended to join the Kuomintang, send him to do his job, and asked him to prepare. He recently went to Chongqing to report his work.
Jiang Hailong shouted impatiently, calling back, saying that he was unwilling to participate in any party. The military was busy, so the report of his work was pushed back for a while.
Bai Lu glared at him, wanted to get angry and finally held back, and shook his hand away with resentment.
In the evening, Jiang Hailong dragged Li Ming to the brigade headquarters to drink. After three rounds of wine, he said with red eyes, "Brother, it may be time for us to break up, you must be prepared to take charge of the troops in full."
Li Ming touched his forehead and said disapprovingly, "You are drinking too much, why do you say you want to break up?"
Jiang Hailong smiled bitterly and said, "I have said that if we win the War of Resistance Against Japan, we will retreat invisibly and will not participate in the civil war." If our troops with extraordinary combat effectiveness supported by us did not have the same heart as our superiors, the chairman would not let me go."
If I guessed correctly, he was ready to take action. It seemed that I could only withdraw early. Alas, it was a pity that I could not witness the victory of the War of Resistance with my own eyes.
Li Ming said, wait a moment, I think the current situation on the battlefield is still strong and we are weak. Why does it seem like victory is a foregone conclusion to you?
Jiang Hailong patiently explained that you only see surface and local phenomena, but in fact, the situation on the battlefield has undergone a major change. This situation has changed the Japanese Navy to contribute to the fire.
The Japanese Navy and Army have always been disagreement and do not buy into each other. Taking the Chinese battlefield as an example, before 1937, Japan's strategic plan to invade China was to conquer China from north to south, and did not intend to conquer Shanghai and Nanjing immediately. But they were eager to fight.
The navy, which had made contributions, proposed the "quick victory theory" and defeated the Chinese will to resist by occupying the then Chinese capital Nanjing. So the Japanese navy created friction in Shanghai and provoked the "Shanghu Battle".
In fact, Chiang Kai-shek was not prepared to start a full-scale war with Japan at that time. He was not concerned about the war far away in the Northeast and North China. Instead, he hoped that Western powers would intervene in mediation and pay some money to get things done. But the Battle of Songhu touched him.
Sensitive nerves were his economic lifeline and was close to the capital Nanjing. So he mobilized 700,000 troops and moved the Japanese seriously.
At this time, the Japanese Navy, which was in trouble, could not solve the Shanghai incident with its Marines alone, kicked the ball to the army, forcing the latter to mobilize troops from the local area, North China and even Taiwan to Shanghai for a battle. This changed the Japanese army's "fight from north to south"
The plan of "has become "fighting from east to west". Strategically, this just allows the national army to "fight while retreating" and achieve "exchanging space for time".
The Japanese Navy believed that the army had robbed its contribution and did not further cooperate with the army's actions. After the army captured Nanjing, China's navy and air force were basically destroyed. At this time, if the Japanese Navy, which had a large number of gunboats, aircraft carriers and aircraft, cooperated closely with the army to blow up Jiangyin, the Yangtze River.
The shipwrecks and riverside fortresses can drive straight into the land to transport the army to land in Wuhan. Before China completes its industrial migration and Wuhan’s deployment, it will attack the 600,000 troops in East China from east to west. Then the situation of the War of Resistance will inevitably change drastically.
At the end of 1941, the Japanese Navy, which had lost its opponent, acted rashly and attacked Pearl Harbor. The United States' participation in the war suddenly increased Japan's military pressure in Southeast Asia, forcing the army to continuously transfer elite troops and war materials in China to Southeast Asia, and the Japanese troops in the Chinese theater were in charge.
Being greatly weakened.
During the Cairo meeting, Deputy President Ross said that if there was no China, if China was defeated, think about how many divisions of Japanese troops could be transferred to other aspects to fight? They could conquer Europe, India, and rush towards
The Middle East, and Germany, jointly held a large-scale attack, met in the Near East, completely isolated Russia, swallowed Egypt, and cut off all traffic lines through the Mediterranean. This would be a disaster for the world anti-fascist war.
Sexual.
Therefore, powerful countries such as the United States and Russia will never allow Japan to defeat China. They will provide us with material support and even send troops. In this form, coupled with the hard counterattack of the Chinese army, the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan has not been long, and I guess at most it will still be
There are two or three years.
Li Ming was stunned and said, "I don't know where you have found so much information. Although you are a little skeptical about your words, you think it makes sense. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, we fought hard for this, but we are considered a meritorious person, so we should accept it."
When it comes to the commendation, how do you realize that the superiors are going to attack you?
Jiang Hailong said that the Chairman was very suspicious and dictatorial, and he was determined to maintain his dominance in China. He would not allow others to share the fruits of victory in the War of Resistance, nor would he allow any threat to him. The day when the victory of the War of Resistance was the National Communist Party.
During the civil war, he had already made arrangements. Recently, he wanted to bring me to join his party. If I don’t follow him, he would prevent me from falling to the Communist army and pose a threat to him. He would be regarded as a dissident. Later, he would ask me to go to Chongqing.
"I'm afraid I'll go but never return. I've never arranged for me to go there for so many years, so I've never arranged for me to report any position. Obviously, I have ulterior motives.
Li Ming nodded frequently when he heard this and fell into deep thought.
There is no banquet that will last forever. Jiang Hailong said, "I don't want to participate in the civil war, nor do I want this army we built personally to become accomplices of the chairman in the future. It's time to leave. You are a veteran of the National Army, Black Tiger."
The mountain area also needs the independent brigade to compete with the Japanese army. After I leave, the superiors will not make things difficult for you and the troops for the time being. They will only try their best to win over them. You can just deal with it.
It is absolutely right to listen to me. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, you will lead the troops to join the Communist Army. At that time, Company Commander Gong will contact the New Fourth Army. They are the will of the people, and in the future, the whole world will definitely be the Communist Party. Only with them can you and the troops have a future.
The officer I trust most in the Independent Brigade is the old team of our Anti-Japanese Tigers. Wang Dali is brave but not wise, Liu Heizi, Li Tiezhu, and the two Huzi commanders have their own strengths, but they are not talented as generals. You are capable and educated.
If you have your own opinions, they will obey you. I will feel at ease with the team. Li Tie Army commander Huangpu was born in Huangpu and is loyal to the chairman. You don’t have to force me to not leave you at that time.
Li Ming said, I won’t do it! Why don’t we join the New Fourth Army now? The two brothers continue to fight against Japan together? The army has become a habit of relying on you. How can you just slap your butt and push so many things to me! I’m right away
If Company Commander Gong contacts the New Fourth Army, that's it, you can't think of getting involved.
Jiang Hailong replied, no. The chairman was worried that he could not find a handle to destroy the New Fourth Army. I don’t want another southern Anhui incident in the Heihushan area. Before the Anti-Japanese War, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party fought a mess, allowing the Japanese to benefit from it.
Li Ming thought for a while and said, "When are you going to leave? Then there will be a lively farewell party. I will call all the brothers to say goodbye."
Jiang Hailong said, don’t be petty. Can I leave if I do that? You can only know this matter and you can’t tell others for the time being.
Li Ming waved his hand quickly and said, "I'm afraid that my brothers will beat me up by then."
Jiang Hailong smiled and said, "What's the point of suffering some grievances for the brothers of life and death?" I will leave a letter to explain. I guess I won't be beaten. At most, you can get scolded...
Chongqing (Qing), Chairman's Residence.
The secretary looked at Dai Li's report and said: "The Independent Brigade's zero-point action seems to have achieved considerable results, and it gave the Japanese army a heavy blow."
The chairman snorted in his nostrils and said, "It was reported after such a big action. It was simply a decisive action and then a report. He was not a superior."
The secretary was immediately frightened and silent.
The chairman looked at the reports and frowned and said, "What's wrong with this Jiang Hailong? He has ambiguous relationship with the Communist Army and is reluctant to join our party for a long time. His independent brigade cannot fall into the hands of the Communist Army and will become us in the future.
The opponent."
Dai Li stood attentively and replied: "Principal, please rest assured. I have made arrangements to ask Jiang Hailong to come to Chongqing to report his duties. If he does not swear allegiance to the party and the country, he will be placed under house arrest immediately and then deal with it."
The chairman asked: "He is a smart person. What if he notices our intentions, what if he doesn't come to Yu?"
Dai Li clenched his fists and stood attentively: "If that were the case, I would take special actions and would never leave any trouble for the principal!"
The Chairman's eyes showed a gleam: "After all, he is a hero in the anti-Japanese war, so try to convince him as much as possible. In short, if this person cannot be used by me, he cannot let the Communist army obtain it. When it is absolutely impossible, you should not make too much noise. Pay attention to the influence.
. ""
"Yes, the students understand!" Dai Li nodded and replied, "Jiang Hailong, please do it yourself."
