Japanese Tokyo was also discussing new decisions at this time. Hirohito had lost trust in Tojo Hideki, but he did not have a good way to deal with the current problems on the Chinese battlefield. Interior Minister Kido Koichi sighed: "Your Majesty, the people of Hong Kong
The army has no intention of attacking North Korea, and the Eighth Route Army attacking Inner Mongolia will not launch an attack on Peiping."
"Yes, it's not that they are incapable of attacking, but they are unwilling to hand over the recaptured Peiping to Chiang Kai-shek of the Kuomintang. The weapons and equipment of the Eighth Route Army have surpassed our troops. If we continue to fight, we will lose the lives of many soldiers in vain. North China
It has become useless to us, and the food in the countryside has been robbed by the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army."
General Umezu Yoshijiro, who was preparing to take over as Prime Minister, stood up and said: "I agree with Kawagoe Shigeru's proposal. Since North China has no interests, it is better to give up as soon as possible."
"Order the troops in Baoding, Shijiazhuang, and Handan to shrink as soon as possible. We cannot give up on Beiping yet and use all our strength to defend the Beiping, Tianjin, and Cangzhou front lines."
"Hi!"
In the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, Nie Rongzhen received a telegram from Zhou Baozhong. After reading it in surprise, he shouted: "Quick, order all the troops in the region to immediately march to Baoding, Shijiazhuang, Handan and other big cities!"
"Ah!" Everyone was stunned. The commander wants to attack the big city?
"Under the pressure of the Hong Kong People's Army, the Japanese army voluntarily abandoned these cities. Comrades, we have a rare opportunity and must develop our team as soon as possible." Nie Rongzhen explained with a smile.
"Okay!" Xiao Hua shouted loudly: "Our base area has grown a lot. Let Zhou Baozhong give us weapons. His life will be so comfortable!"
"Hahahaha." Everyone burst into hearty laughter.
"Weapons are not a problem. Zhou Baozhong called and said that he will send us the weapons and equipment of the other ten divisions of the Northeast Self-Defense Army as soon as possible. Comrades, we should not rush to fight the Japanese army and form new troops, but should quickly
The local government abandoned by the Japanese army was established. Telegraph operator!"
"arrive!"
"Send a telegram to Commander Zhu De and Vice Chairman Zhou to tell them the good news first."
"yes!"
"Xiao Hua."
"arrive!"
"Lead the troops to set off immediately, and the local government will dispatch cadres as soon as possible to follow the troops and advance quickly."
"yes!"
Zhou Baozhong came with a motorcade. He jumped out of the car and walked outside the command department when he heard voices inside. He happily shouted: "Commander of the Inner Mongolia Military Region Zhou Baozhong has arrived."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Everyone ran out and looked at the group led by Zhou Baozhong, watching with envy. Yang Chengwu shouted in surprise: "Wow, so many cars!"
"Look, this is a Jeep Hummer."
"Hey, there are more than a dozen tanks in one regiment."
Zhou Baozhong smiled proudly and said: "One of my regiments has hundreds of tanks. Currently I have nine tank regiments. How many tanks do you think I have?"
"Hey, you're showing off naked!" Nie Rongzhen shook his head and asked seriously: "Can they use these new weapons?"
"New weapons? This is something that has been eliminated by others. It is the junk left behind by the little devils in the Northeast. Man, let's take a look at the assault rifle in our hands first. This is the latest weapon!"
Everyone was surprised. The thirty-round magazine can be used for both continuous and single shots. Each gun is also equipped with an optical sight. Chen Guang was amazed: "Brothers from the civilian army are so generous. This is the most powerful one."
New stuff!”
"Send it? Do you think he will give it to me for free? It is the things we captured in Inner Mongolia and exchanged for them. If Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei wants these things, they can also exchange them for equipment through me. Chen Yun and Comrade Peng Ze are here
Qiqihar learns how to make these weapons and ammunition, and we will be able to get new equipment soon!"
"Hahahaha." Everyone laughed happily. Zhou Baozhong also lost his temper sometimes and danced very funny.
"Leave these things for me!" Nie Rongzhen said seriously.
"Haha, this is just a battalion's equipment. Go and take a look at the car."
"Wow!" Everyone was surprised. More than 20 radio stations, generators, new military uniforms, machine guns, grenades and mortars were loaded into more than a dozen cars.
"Hey, you are really a nouveau riche!" Xiao Hua kept shaking his head. With these things, they no longer have to worry about the little devils' raids.
"Look back again!"
Everyone followed Zhou Baozhong's fingers and looked into the distance, and saw a majestic team driving towards here. They hurriedly ran out of the village, and saw thousands of cars driving over in a steady stream. Zhou Baozhong said loudly:
"Weapons and sufficient ammunition for the ten divisions have been delivered, the rest is up to you!"
Nie Rongzhen had an idea and said to Zhou Baozhong: "Send these things to Shijiazhuang, where I want to build the headquarters."
"Yes, I humbly obey my orders!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Yang Chengwu."
"arrive!"
"Lead your troops and send Commander Zhou Baozhong back."
"yes!"
"Ah, you, you, you are so ruthless!" Zhou Baozhong knew that he was a meat bun and beat a dog with no return, so he said with a sad face: "You want to take away my troops and my jeep too?"
"This is called beating the rich!"
"Ha ha ha ha."
The Shandong base area, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei base area and the Inner Mongolia base area were quickly connected, which excited Li Kenong. He knew that the time to regain Peiping and Tianjin was approaching, and said to Vice Chairman Zhou: "We should mobilize cadres as soon as possible to prepare for Beijing."
"We have to prepare. Zhou Baozhong will notify us when the time is right. He reminded us well. We are not worried about the Japanese army now, but Yan Xishan. Tell the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei troops that once Yan Xishan attacks, we will eat him without mercy.
them!"
Li Kenong nodded understandingly: "Yes, we will fight back if Yan Xishan dares to come. Let Zhou Baozhong's tank division and elite main force be placed in the Datong area, and cooperate with the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei troops to closely monitor."
"I think it's feasible. Let's send a telegram."
"yes!"
The good situation developed quickly, but Meng Da became worried. He pondered uneasily in the Changchun headquarters whether the Kuomintang would send troops to cross the Yellow River. Chen Yun looked at the young commander with shrewd eyes and asked in a low voice:
"Are you afraid that the Kuomintang troops will take the opportunity to cross the Yellow River?"
"If you cannot develop and grow as soon as possible, the Kuomintang will definitely not miss this opportunity! Too many troops will be a heavy burden on you, and the plan to build elite troops will fail. You should remind them to leave the area south of Handan for the time being.
To the Japanese army, this not only restrained Yan Xishan, but also created an isolation zone for the people south of the Yellow River."
"Hahahaha, you are so cunning! In fact, your worries are unnecessary. The Japanese army has occupied Luoyang and Zhengzhou. It is not easy for the Kuomintang troops to break through their defense zones." Chen Yun said nonchalantly.
"If the Japanese army abandons Zhengzhou, what about the Luoyang front line?"
"This -" Chen Yun was surprised and asked doubtfully: "Do you think the little devil will give up?"
"The most likely thing is to give up Luoyang!"
If this is the case, Chiang Kai-shek will definitely cross the Yellow River from Xin'an County and Yanshi County. Chen Yun asked anxiously: "What should we do? Now is not the time to confront the Kuomintang with real swords and guns."
"I can provide you with weapons and equipment for twenty more divisions, but this is a huge amount of expenditure. If necessary, I will give it to you first at the cost price."
"Okay, I'll contact Yan'an now."
"Tell General Li Kenong that this is a batch of the latest rifles and artillery fire, as many as 3,000 vehicles, as well as anti-tank weapons and anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns fired into the air, as well as sufficient communication radio stations. Let General Li Kenong personally
Come here and I will send a plane to pick him up."
"Hahahaha, I think my superiors will agree. Farewell!"
After Chen Yun left, Ma Zhanhe walked in. He had taken over the ten divisions left by Zhou Baozhong. He shouted unhappily: "Commander, all the infantry weapons have been taken away by Zhou Baozhong. These troops are missing."
"Adapt these people into police officers who can issue revolvers. Remember, each person has a maximum of five rounds of ammunition. Their main responsibility is to maintain urban and rural security. You control the special police force. Once a vicious case occurs, you can quickly attack. This is enough to protect the city."
Great Northeast!"
Ma Zhanhe suddenly realized it and said with a smile: "I understand."
"Weapons must not be lost to the public. Every gun must be registered in detail, and every bullet fired must be carefully recorded. Police officers found to be unqualified should be punished quickly, and new disasters must not be caused by their negligence!"
"yes!"
The latest equipment of twenty divisions suddenly made Li Kenong worried. Vice Chairman Zhou smiled and said: "He didn't tell the date of repayment. You still don't understand?"
"Oh?" Li Kenong scratched his head and said, "Such weapons require a large sum of money, and we will have to pay them back eventually."
"In order to establish a new government in the future, we must have an elite army. Among the weapons he sold us are a huge number of rocket launchers and howitzers, which are of great use to us in attacking cities. Go ahead and get the weapons first
Please understand the details and I will discuss it with the chairman."
"yes!"
In Chongqing, Dai Li was wiping cold sweat and reporting. Shijiazhuang and Baoding had been captured by the Eighth Route Army. He knew that something was very wrong. Jiang Jieshi angrily pounded the civilized stick: "Mother Xipi, our troops are constantly losing battles. The Eighth Route Army
Que even conquered more than a dozen cities."
Chen Cheng sighed and said: "If we concentrate all the troops in the third, ninth, and sixth theaters, I believe we can compete with the Japs."
"The troops are all gone. What will we do after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War?" He Yingqin disagreed with attacking now.
Bai Chongxi shook his head and said slowly: "If we don't take the initiative to attack now, the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army will occupy more places! Can we regain it after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War?"
Jiang Jushi glanced at Song Ziwen: "The people of country M haven't responded to our request yet?"
"Roosevelt is still hesitating. Marshall told me that once he supports us, there will be an inevitable conflict with the Hong Kong People's Army. They are very worried that fighting the people's army will outweigh the gains and losses." Song Ziwen explained the current situation.
"Niang Xipi, Niang Xipi, it's him again!" Chiang Kai-shek banged the civilized stick loudly, and cold sweat could not help but form on his face.
"Report! There is a call from Hong Kong. Japan's Ambassador Shigeru Kawagoe is flying to Northeast China. They don't know what the little devil is going to do." The telegraph operator walked in and reported to Jiang Jisheng.
"Rice, a bunch of ricers!" Lao Jiang raised the civilized stick angrily, and then put it down feebly. He collapsed on the sofa and shouted to Chen Cheng: "Quick, fly over now and take a look.
What on earth are they going to do?"
"Principal, our plane cannot fly to the Northeast." Chen Cheng spread his hands and had no choice but to let Jiang make up his mind.
"Go to x port first, and then take the plane from x port to fly to the northeast." Song Ziwen made a shrewd suggestion.
"Okay, I'll set off now. Minister Song, why don't you accompany me?" Chen Cheng knew in his heart that he would give up the excuse if he went there alone, so it would be better to take someone with him on his back.
Bai Chongxi snickered secretly and whispered to Li Zongren: "The building is going to fall, the building is going to fall!"
