Although he left not long ago, when Su Yuan led Xiaoyun and others back to his hometown, he quickly discovered the changes here. During this period of time, Meng Tian led the troops to defend the defense area. Although the troops did not develop much, they
Under his leadership, the training of the troops has not stopped. The combat quality of the soldiers is constantly improving, and at the same time, the area under his control has also undergone some development.
Compared with them, Sun Jianyun led the Eighth Route Army's armed forces to achieve great development. The Eighth Route Army's anti-Japanese policy and development route were given full play to their advantages. They continued to grow during the battle. The troops not only gradually recovered their strength, but also achieved great development.
, the troops have grown to more than a thousand people, and there are also militias, and their base areas are also expanding.
And Meng Tian still adheres to the orders of the war zone. They cannot recruit troops to expand the army without authorization, making it impossible for the army to expand and develop. This may be the conclusion drawn by the National Government after many warlord melees. Once local governments are allowed to freely develop their forces, it will inevitably happen again.
Local warlords, large and small, will inevitably affect the unity of the country.
As for the Japs in Ancheng, they still retain their original strength. However, after several years of fighting, the army has added a lot of new soldiers, and its combat effectiveness has obviously declined. According to this, the initiative in the war should be
The Chinese military is in control, but things are unpredictable.
In the past, the pro-Japanese Kuomintang organized large and small puppet regimes and established puppet armies in various places, and at this time, the great traitor Wang Jingwei established the Wang puppet regime in Nanjing.
The wavering army had an excuse to surrender to the enemy.
After the war of resistance entered a stalemate, the Japanese army realized that they could no longer conquer China with their own force. Coupled with the rapid development of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, Japan's domestic economy was in trouble due to huge military expenditures, and veterans of the army also needed to be demobilized. The Japanese army changed
The strategy of invading China, while plundering China's supplies, also began to adopt the strategy of using China to control China, and began to use a large number of puppet troops.
Just when the Kuomintang and the Communist Party needed to unite to fight against the enemy and puppet forces, the Nationalist Government began to worry about the rapid development of the Eighth Route Army. The friction last year had just ended, but it started again this year.
In order to combat the Japanese aggression and to inspire the determination of the people across the country to resist Japan, the Eighth Route Army launched the Hundred Regiment War this year. This battle dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese army in North China. As a result, the Japanese army also began to focus on
The Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army developed rapidly and resolutely resisted the war.
The Japanese mobilized heavy troops to carry out frantic raids on the base areas in North China. The Nationalist Government also saw the rapid development of the Eighth Route Army's strength from the Hundred Regiment War, and began to contain it in some areas. The situation of the Anti-Japanese War became increasingly complicated.
Fujino of Anjo has always regarded Su Yuan as his main opponent. From the day the Marco Polo Bridge battle began, he recognized Su Yuan. For this reason, he requested to be transferred to Anjo, because of Su Yuan.
After several years of fighting and confrontation, his opponents became more and more powerful. Finally, he took advantage of the Eighth Route Army's internal cleanup movement to severely damage Su Yuan's troops. But what he didn't expect was that Su Yuan suddenly became the Kuomintang again.
Head of the group.
In his opinion, it was easier to deal with the regular troops of the Kuomintang than the guerrilla forces of the Eighth Route Army. Just as he was learning from the last failure and adjusting his deployment to deal with the Su Yuan regiment, the situation changed.
According to Shangfeng's order, his mission was mainly to eliminate the growing Eighth Route Army, and try not to provoke the Kuomintang troops first. The Japanese wanted to use military strikes as a supplement and political persuasion to surrender as the main way to deal with the Kuomintang troops.
Although he was a little unwilling, Fujino still obeyed. According to the intelligence, Su Yuan is not here now. This may be an opportunity. He is well aware of the contradictions between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, not to mention that there are still private conflicts between the two forces here. If
Su Yuan was not here, and his men would not go to rescue the Eighth Route Army.
