The British Prime Minister already knew that the Anti-Japanese League would not allow them to fight in Southeast Asia, but he had not given up the idea of wanting to win over the Anti-Japanese League and go to Southeast Asia to serve as their scapegoat. He believed that if the Anti-Japanese League could be persuaded to go south to Southeast Asia, the British
People can save a lot of troops.
Although it is necessary to prevent them from exporting any communist revolution, compared to the Japanese army in front of them, this is not an important matter. No matter how many troops this anti-alliance force sends to Southeast Asia to participate in the war, but they do not have a navy of their own
Next, all material supplies were firmly in the hands of the British.
With this, no matter how powerful these Chinese are in combat, they will be easy to control when the time comes. If they are brought to the battlefield in Southeast Asia, it is even possible to save the British colonies in Southeast Asia. Compared with some of the British colonies that he thinks he can
Control the small mistakes that may occur. He still knows how to do it in a cost-effective manner.
Even if they can't be dragged back to fight in Southeast Asia, they still have to launch a large-scale battle in Manchuria to at least attract the Japanese troops in Manchuria and China to prevent them from fighting south. And the British are prepared to pay
These second-hand equipment are the weights they use to test the pressure of the Anti-Japanese Alliance.
As for whether the background of this army has some red blood, the British don't care. Not to mention that they are still in the establishment of the Chinese government and are enemies of the Chinese government. But as long as it is beneficial to the British, then
There is a need to win over.
Weren't the Soviets also regarded as savage beasts by the British? As a result, the war between the Soviet Union and Germany broke out, and the British, who suddenly felt that the pressure had dropped sharply, immediately sent the equipment over without charging a penny. For
For the British, if this army joins the defense of Southeast Asia, how much troops can the British army save and use in places they think are more critical.
And this British general, who was a bit overly responsible and used chicken feathers as arrows, did this in order to prevent the British aid equipment from being wasted by the Chinese. He was just afraid of notifying the Chinese in advance, and
They will fiddle with many things to hide their true abilities.
The British did this out of arrogance and contempt, but more importantly because they did not trust the combat effectiveness of the Anti-Japanese Alliance. They were doubtful about how many Japanese troops the Anti-Japanese Alliance could hold back in Manchuria so that they could not go south. I wanted to
Through this method, I can truly examine the true combat effectiveness of the Anti-Japanese Alliance instead of being deceived by the Chinese people's deceptions and tricks.
Therefore, Yang Zhen’s judgment that the British were behind the sudden attack on the American and British delegations was not wrong. However, the British’s true intention behind this move was not wrong.
Wrong. Although he guessed the cause wrongly, he guessed the source correctly after all.
But no matter what the British did, Yang Zhen felt uncomfortable in his heart, but for Yang Zhen, what should be done had to be done. After all, everyone is now an ally at least on the surface, right? Not to mention the delegation.
Among them, there is such a heavyweight figure.
If the British were responsible for this alone, they would send fighter jets to directly ban their planes from entering. The arrogance and contempt behind the British move would be unacceptable even to Yang Zhenxin. But the heavyweight in the American delegation
, can only let him endure it.
In response to Chen Bo's complaint, Yang Zhen shook his head and said: "They have just informed us now, and I am afraid they want a surprise attack. It is obvious that the United States and Britain have not fully trusted our strength. They think they
By doing this, you will see the most real situation, and it is precisely because of this idea that they did such a trick."
"As for now, let's not think about other things and do our best to do the reception work. As long as it is good for our development and future, as long as we don't need to betray our country, sometimes it is necessary to suffer some grievances. Many times, lowering your head is not only
Just humiliation."
"I will now announce the work assignment. Chen Bo and your social department are responsible for finding a place to live. It is best not to be in the city. It does not need to be too comfortable, but it must be clean and quiet. At the same time, security will be maintained around the delegation's station, and from the airport to the station.
Your Ministry of Social Affairs is responsible for all arrangements for safety precautions."
"Deploy the most reliable internal affairs battalion, change into plain clothes and disperse them around the station for me. The cordon should be as far away as possible. Also, you should disperse all the most capable people in your hands for me, and send them to me."
I have kept a close eye on all suspicious persons in Harbin."
"Although Harbin has been cleaned up many times since it was recovered last year, none of us can guarantee that there will be no dead ends. Therefore, throughout Harbin, you must tighten it internally and loosen it externally. You must not only ensure confidentiality, but also do not allow any movement or noise.
Too large to arouse the suspicion of the Kwantung Army."
"You go back immediately and select two chefs. Not only must they be good at cooking, but they must also be the most reliable and have the strictest mouths. All service staff, including drivers, are also responsible for your social department. I will take charge of these things.
I leave everything to you. Not only must you complete the task within six hours, but you must also make it watertight for me. Remember, what I want is to be foolproof."
Having said this, Yang Zhen turned to Chen Long and said: "During this period, you put aside other matters at hand and cooperate with Chen Bo to monitor the entire base area during this period. Together with Chen Bo, you take out
Here comes a security plan and emergency plan. I have only one request for you, that is, no dangerous person or Japanese agent can sneak into Harbin during this period."
"The request for you and Chen Bo is that from the day the American and British delegation arrives at the base area until they leave, not a trace of news can be leaked. The entire delegation's activities in the base area must be guaranteed to be absolutely safe. I want
It’s one hundred percent, but ninety-nine percent won’t work.”
After explaining the two people, Yang Zhen pondered for a while and said to Guo Bingxun: "Old Guo, you have people select ten cars and the ten most reliable drivers from the inventory of the military region headquarters, and hand them over to Chen in a moment.
Bo. There is also internal security within the garrison, which is the responsibility of the Second Guard Regiment directly under our military region. During this period, it is temporarily assigned to the command of Chen Bo."
"For the security of Harbin's periphery, don't mobilize other troops. Didn't the First Division withdraw and rest? Let them take over the security of the entire Harbin periphery. During this period, let the radar unit closely monitor Harbin 24 hours a day.
All surrounding airspace. The aviation units surrounding Harbin must also be prepared for first-level combat."
"Please make some rough arrangements for the itinerary of this joint American and British delegation after it arrives in Harbin. We must satisfy them as much as possible, but we must not let them see all our old information. Especially if there are some secrets, we must not
Let them know that things that need to be temporarily withdrawn should be withdrawn."
"If they insist on seeing the status of the troops, they can choose from more than a dozen main divisions. Don't they want to randomly select some of our troops in order to find out our true training and combat levels? I think they can completely follow
According to their request, I think we can arrange them appropriately to observe some tactical exercises and some daily training of our army at all levels."
"As for the Fujin Comprehensive Training Base, don't arrange for them to see it. There are not too many things for them to see there, and it would be a bit bad for them to go there. If they want to observe our division-level tactical synthesis exercises,
It will be arranged to go to the Yuyuan Field Training Base that has just been completed."
Regarding Yang Zhen's arrangement, Guo Bingxun, who knew that the matter was serious, thought for a moment and then said: "I think it's OK. Our Seventh Division is being reorganized at the Tangyuan Armored Training Base to be a mechanized division. After the Thirteenth Division withdrew, it was also undergoing training there.
, they can all be allowed to visit.”
"Actually, according to our training level, we have nothing to worry about no matter which division they select. As the current chief of staff of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, I still have this confidence. I also believe in all our troops, no matter which division they are.
All of them can stand the test."
"Just as you said on the 1st, each of our troops has political qualifications, excellent military skills, excellent work style, and strong support. No matter the Americans or the British, no matter what kind of attitude they have towards the Chinese
Prejudice, but it can only stop here."
"We not only want them to believe that we not only have the ability and strength to ultimately defeat Japan. We also want them to believe that even if more powerful opponents come, we are still fearless and can ultimately defeat them.
.Let them and all those who look down on the Chinese know what the real Chinese army is."
When he said these words, Guo Bingxun, who always gave people a stable and elegant appearance and temperament, could be said to be full of arrogance that is rare. This kind of arrogance is not the kind of arrogance that second-generation ancestors and upstarts pile up with money.
, it is not the arrogance of the Central Army that the emperor's disciples are accustomed to, but the arrogance of the victorious army on the battlefield that despises all opponents.
As the Chief of General Staff of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, this arrogant person carefully planned every battle together with Yang Zhen, and jointly brought out an invincible iron army. Guo Bingxun could and was qualified to do so. Because this army grew from scratch and from weakness.
From top to bottom, his countless hard work can be seen from the hundreds of defeated generals to the hundreds of thousands of strong soldiers and horses today.
If the Anti-Japanese League has reached the point where it is today, if Yang Zhen's contribution is more in the overall "strategic vision" and tactics at all levels, then Guo Bingxun's contribution lies in truly improving the system of the Anti-Japanese League and laying the foundation for the Anti-Japanese War.
The Union has formulated a more formalized system, trained a large number of qualified combat staff officers, and built a complete staff system.
Yang Zhen often said that without Guo Bingxun as chief of staff, no matter how capable he was, even if he had three heads and six arms, the Anti-Japanese Alliance would not be able to get to where it is today. It is precisely because of these that the arrogance on Guo Bingxun's face is so obvious to the people sitting here.
All cadres in the federation take it for granted.
Of course, behind the arrogance, there is more confidence. In terms of sound equipment system, the Anti-Japanese League may not be as good as the Americans and the British. In terms of military education system, the Anti-Japanese League’s crash course education is also comparable to that of the American and British armies.
There is a big gap. But in terms of combat effectiveness, the Anti-Japanese Alliance considers itself to be no less than any army in the world.
It is precisely this confidence that gives Guo Bingxun such arrogance. All field troops in the army can be chosen by them, and he has such confidence. Guo Bingxun, who has studied in France for many years, is not convinced by the arrogance and picky personality of the British.
It’s not that you know nothing.
Facing the British, he dared to do this because he had absolute confidence in his own troops. Without this confidence and confidence, with Guo Bingxun's character and personality, he would never have said such a thing. And this confidence
, is not blind self-confidence, it is gained by the troops’ results on the battlefield.
