Now that the Soviets have made their attitude clear in disguise, Yang Zhen has no choice but to accept the move. There is no other way, the current situation is compelling. Although Yang Zhen prefers to stand behind the scenes, he hates having to deal with these gangs of people who are unjust for their own benefit.
, only has his own interests in his eyes, and his favorite thing is to meet people who are adding insult to injury.
But regardless of whether the United States and Britain are exerting pressure on this matter, or whether the British have raised this matter. Even if he hates meeting the Soviets directly, Yang Zhen also knows that this negotiation with the Soviet Union has reached a point where it must be resolved.
. If it continues to be delayed indefinitely, the material import channel will not be opened, let alone preparations for the next phase of the battle that will begin in a few months.
Among this batch of materials, except for cotton for making winter clothes, the rest of the materials are prepared for the next stage of the battle. Except for some trucks and transport planes, almost all of them are urgently needed military raw materials to prepare for the next stage of the battle.
Without this batch of military raw materials, even half of the required ammunition reserves will not be completed before the next batch of operations is fully launched.
In particular, the urgently needed artillery shells and aerial bombs cannot complete the planned reserve plan. Although the large-scale battles between the enemy and our armies have stopped, small battles in various aspects occur almost every day. Especially on the Jehol battlefield,
The situation is still very tense.
After the entire Northeastern battlefield ceased military operations, the Kwantung Army significantly strengthened the deployment of troops in Jehol. The 11th Division, which was withdrawn from the Linxi battlefield, was directly strengthened to the Jianping and Chifeng lines. With the deployment of the 5th Division
After withdrawing to Huludao, the Kwantung Army transferred an additional division from the hinterland of Fengtian Province into Chengde.
At the same time, the Japanese North China Front Army and the Mongolian garrison also mobilized a large number of troops to the counties surrounding the Rehe Advance Army-controlled area and the Chabei area. The Mongolian garrison even did not hesitate to weaken the forces confronting the national army in Suixi,
Most of the troops from the Suiyuan front line were transferred to various alliance banners in Chabei.
Unlike the Kwantung Army, which was licking its wounds and basically stopped moving, the Japanese Mongolian garrison and the North China Front carried out a tight blockade around Rehe, strictly guarding all supplies, and not even a living person entered the area controlled by the advancing army. If anyone tried to enter the area controlled by the advancing army,
The Chinese who marched into and controlled several counties were shot to death as soon as they were discovered.
In addition to a tight blockade, the Japanese army in North China also deployed a large number of troops into the Renan and Rexi areas. Although there has been no large-scale offensive, they have continuously dispatched large numbers of cavalry and artillery combined forces to carry out attacks on several counties controlled by the advancing army.
Continuous sweeps.
Not only were the troops of the advancing army left behind in Rebei restrained, the situation was quite tense. The troops left behind by the Anti-Japanese Alliance on the Linxi battlefield also spent a lot of energy on Rehe. The almost constant large and small battles consumed a lot of supplies.
The supplies stored at the military depot set up by the Logistics Department in Kailu are declining almost every day.
In view of the fact that a war may break out in the direction of Jehol at any time, the ammunition and supplies currently in stock can only be replenished in the direction of Linxi on priority. The most important thing is that after the consumption of this war, there is not much ammunition left in the stockpile. Especially large-caliber artillery shells.
Inventories of rockets and aerial bombs have bottomed out.
The current situation in Rehe undoubtedly shows that the current Kwantung Army is no longer fighting alone. Under the direct threat of arriving in Rehe and directly threatening the Ping-Tianjin front-line resistance alliance, in the next stage of the battle, the Japanese Kwantung Army
, the Mongolian garrison of the North China Front and the troops directly under the Pingjin area will fight together.
The Japanese base camp is also constantly increasing the strength of its North China Front. As the fighting intensified last month, the Japanese base camp mobilized the 17th Division and part of the 33rd Division from South China to station in the Pingjin area. The Japanese troops originally stationed in Shijiazhuang
The 110th Division, after completing its sweep of the North China base area, gradually began to move northward.
With the addition of the three newly formed independent mixed brigades, the Japanese army in North China has almost doubled its troop deployment on the front line from Datong in the west to Tianjin in the east. Especially the Japanese garrison around Peiping has added an entire independent mixed brigade. The original
Some of the pseudo-security forces were all transferred to the central Hebei area for garrison, and the defense was completely taken over by the Japanese army.
The Japanese garrison in Mongolia also added an independent mixed brigade to its strength. Under the heavy pressure of the Japanese and puppet troops, the Pingbei and Pingxi blocks of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region were located around Beiping and Tianjin, and were responsible for the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei military region.
The guerrilla base areas that are the link between the military region and the eastern Hebei region are no longer tenable.
In these two guerrilla base areas, except for the cadres who went underground to persist on the spot, and a small number of local armed forces who were forced to move into the deep mountains and old forests of the Yanshan Mountains to persist, the main force and most of the cadres could only withdraw westward to the Beiyue area.
.A small number of people took advantage of the weak spots in the Japanese blockade and entered Jehol to join the advancing army.
It can be said that the advancing army headquarters staying in the Rebei and Rexi areas have been completely cut off from the Guannei troops. They had intermittent contact with the Guannei troops and completely lost the support of the Guannei troops. The Pingbei and Pingxi base areas
The loss was not just the loss of the advancing army's two supporting points south of the Great Wall.
After the complete loss of the Jidong Military Region, the two guerrilla base areas near Rehe, Pingbei and Pingxi, have become the only link between the advancing army and the battlefield inside the pass. Now that these two guerrilla base areas have also been lost, it can be said that the advancing army has completely lost
Lost contact with the battlefield in Guan. The situation on the battlefield in Guan is getting worse and worse, causing a chain reaction.
Judging from the current situation around Rehe, if the Anti-Japanese Alliance is planning to take advantage of the Kwantung Army's attention being attracted by the southern battlefield to carry out the second phase of operations after the Japanese attack the United States and Britain. Then as the supply line becomes longer and longer
, more and more cars and gasoline need to be put into the battlefield.
In other words, in the next step, the Anti-Japanese Alliance may not only face the Kwantung Army, but also the three-sided siege of the two strategic groups of the Japanese army. According to current judgment, the scale of the second phase of the battle is far from comparable to the first phase.
. To carry out such a large-scale battle, the amount of materials required will also increase significantly compared with before.
If the problem of external channels cannot be solved for a long time, urgently needed supplies and raw materials cannot enter the base area. Let alone opening up the connection with the customs, it will be difficult to maintain the current front. Without ammunition, how can the troops fight? Without cars
and gasoline, how do the troops solve the transportation problem?
There is also a freeze coming soon. If the winter clothing urgently needed by the troops is not solved, the troops will be frozen. And as the weather has gradually begun to turn colder, the problem of winter clothing is already imminent. If the winter clothing problem cannot be solved for a long time,
If the troops are frozen and collapsed, how can we talk about the next phase of the battle?
However, this time Yang Zhen took action in person. He did not intend to go alone. Instead, he roped in two veterans from the advancing army to participate in the negotiation. Both veterans had eaten foreign bread across the street and were proficient in Russian. They were very familiar with the Soviet Union.
We only know more about people’s character than ourselves, but never less than ourselves.
Especially the teacher who is in the 129th Division. Although he knows nothing about diplomacy and economics, when it comes to the art of war, there are few people in China who can match him. With them taking care of themselves, they can effectively reduce the temper.
Be impatient about your own mistakes.
And for Yang Zhen, it is better to point out some things directly instead of being secretive. Although Yang Zhen always seems to be calm about many things on the surface, in fact he has never really taken it lightly. Rather than let someone
If some people are speculating there and causing unnecessary misunderstandings, it would be better to directly involve them.
After the headquarters of the advancing army arrived in the base area, several monitoring stations of the Ministry of Communications reported to Yang Zhen that the radio station of the advancing army headquarters had unusually frequent contacts with the pass. The number of contacts was even more frequent than during the battle in Rehe.
.Communications are carried out almost 24 hours a day.
It is not the Ministry of Communications that consciously monitors the radio stations of the advancing army. But they are responsible for monitoring all enemy radio signals and monitoring all radio stations in the area. All received radio signals must be identified and judged.
, analyze, and organize into detailed records.
The radio stations of the advancing army are in frequent contact with the pass. With the eyes and ears of the Ministry of Communications, it is impossible not to hear them. If they cannot do this, they will be derelict in their duties. Their job is to monitor internally whether there are secret radio stations, and externally monitor and
Analyze various radio contact signals of the Kwantung Army.
Although Yang Zhen had already criticized a deputy minister in charge of monitoring in the Ministry of Communications, he asked him to immediately cancel the monitoring of the Forward Army radio station and destroy all records. He was not allowed to decipher the Forward Army radio signal in any way, even if it was
It is absolutely not allowed to be tentative. Apart from him, no one is allowed to reveal the slightest bit about this matter.
However, this information also shows that the advancing army has been maintaining close contact with the central government. After analyzing, sorting and judging those signals, the Ministry of Communications found that among these radio stations, in addition to the radio stations that the various ministries contacted themselves, at least
There are three high-power radio stations that are in constant contact with the northwest.
Although due to current technology, it is impossible for the communications department to determine the specific location to receive their signals. But in the northwest, besides Yan'an, which other place has the ability to receive so many high-power signals? It cannot be contacted with Chongqing in Xi'an, Lanzhou
Bar.
As for the reason for such intensive contact between the advancing army and the Central Committee, Yang Zhen didn't want to guess, let alone guess. For him, once he knew this kind of thing, that was the end of it. Some things were too much to know.
Too much is actually troublesome. Not to mention the situation in Northeast China, it is better to let others report many things.
Therefore, after Yang Zhen decided to personally participate in the negotiations with the Soviet Union, after careful consideration, he invited the two old chiefs to participate in the negotiations. Rather than being secretive, it would be better to let the central government directly control some things. After the two old chiefs,
It is much easier to report something verbally than just speaking it yourself.
Regarding Yang Zhen's invitation, the two veterans who were inspecting the Anti-Japanese League base area did not hesitate to agree despite everyone's tacit understanding. It was just that these two veterans, who originally thought that everyone would just talk,
What they didn't expect was that the attitude of Big Brother, the fraternal party at the negotiation table, would be so aggressive. And Yang Zhen's attitude was beyond their expectations, and he almost refused to give in.
The Soviet Union's attitude was extremely resolute, demanding that the Anti-Japanese Alliance fully comply with their requirements. Yang Zhen insisted on sticking to the bottom line, and would rather no one get this batch of supplies than make any concessions. On the one hand, one is desperate
They were asking for prices all over the place, and one of them was desperately trying to pay back the money, but they were still at a stalemate.
After participating in the negotiations for several days, the two veterans had never experienced anything similar. Even though they had experienced hundreds of battles, they were dumbfounded by the swords and swords on the negotiating table. They just watched the Soviets quarreling with the Soviets during the day, and at night.
He had to adjust the latest deployment of the entire army and deal with various matters with almost no time to rest. Yang Zhen, who looked extremely tired, kept suppressing his voice and did not ask any questions.
