But there are some things that make some people happy and others worried. Compared to the happy people in the rear area, the recovery of Beiping City, the largest political and military center in North China, makes Chongqing worried in some aspects. It is not just a battle for the hearts and minds of the people.
The loss in the military and political aspects brought even heavier pressure.
It turned out that the communist army, which they had always accused of loitering but not fighting, was able to fight such a brilliant battle that shocked the country, and even recaptured the first big city since the September 18th Incident. It almost occupied most of the country's political and military forces.
, Chongqing’s economic resources have failed to do this.
The Battle of Changde in the previous period was said to be a victory, but everyone knew exactly what happened. As the juncture of the Sixth War Zone, defense was the top priority. The Japanese army came and left at will.
Changde was not recovered this time, but was abandoned by the Japanese army on their own initiative. The Battle of Changde was said to be a victory, but in fact everyone knew that it was a disastrous defeat.
This undoubtedly made Chongqing very embarrassed, and at the same time it was under tremendous political and military pressure. What made Chongqing feel even more pressure was that the Northeast Anti-Resistance Alliance entered the customs during this battle, and the ten people who had undergone training
The Eighth Army had a powerful combat capability, a well-trained and well-equipped tactical air force, and a large number of armored forces.
Niang Xipi, when did they become so powerful? How much assistance did the Americans and British give them? How could these Tubal forces have the ability and strength to retake Peiping? Without the support of the United States and Britain, the large amount of equipment given to them
To provide assistance, will those Tuba Road have the strength?
At the same time, facing the two strategic clusters of the Japanese army, the North China Front Army and the Kwantung Army, after fighting hard for such a long time, not only was it not weakened, but it also surrounded and annihilated several Japanese divisions, captured the headquarters of the Japanese North China Front Army, and moved the front line from Pingjin to Tianjin.
The front line was pushed to both sides of the Hutuo River in central Hebei.
At present, the Jin-Pu Railway and the northern section of the Ping-Han Line are cut off, and they are fighting fiercely with the Japanese army on the Jizhong battlefield. Moreover, they are clearly at the upper hand on the battlefield. This kind of performance is the most elite unit of our Central Army, let alone those miscellaneous troops.
, even if they are gathered together, they cannot be played.
This made this number one person in Chongqing, who originally wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and let the Communist army and the Japanese fight a lose-lose situation. Thinking that it would not only reduce the military pressure on Chongqing on the frontal battlefield, but also weaken the strength of the Communist army,
Apart from being quite uncomfortable, I also felt chills on my back.
If we talk about last year's battle, the North China battle situation changed because the North China Front Army was a little careless and obviously not very adaptable to the tactics of the Northeastern Communist Army. The Northeastern Communist Army took advantage of certain tactics and caught the North China Front Army off guard.
The Japanese lost northern Shanxi, Suiyuan and Chahar.
In this battle, it was a purely head-to-head confrontation, and the Japanese army was actually beaten to a pulp. Even according to the current limited intelligence, the Kwantung Army on the Northeast battlefield has shown a tendency to avoid fighting. This is not just about equipment.
The comparison above can illustrate the problem.
What's more, during this battle, the tanks, heavy artillery, and aviation units invested by the Japanese army in North China were no less numerous than the heavy equipment imported by the Northeastern Communist Army. Judging from the amount of heavy equipment invested by the Japanese army reported by the military commander
, even if it were the US military, it would be difficult to fight to this level.
In this battle, the exposed strength and combat effectiveness of both the Northeast Anti-Resistance Alliance and the Eighteenth North China Army made him feel like a thorn in his back. If things continue like this, who will have the final say in the future of China? Especially for this man.
The first person in Chongqing is very unhappy that the Americans’ aid to him has always been flashy.
The assistance of thirty-nine full sets of art weaponry promised last year has only reached less than half. The Italian-made weapons provided are not only of poor quality, but also insufficient in quantity. I ask them to allocate some of the weapons captured by the United States and Britain on the North African battlefield.
German-made weapons, but only some light weapons.
On the battlefield in India, the United States and Britain were badly beaten by the Japanese army. They sent reinforcements to India and used almost all the troops trained in India. However, when the United States and Britain were providing equipment, they kept digging and searching.
.The 155 howitzer was only given to two regiments, and it was an old model.
As for tanks, although they were promised to three regiments, the equipment that has arrived now is only three battalions. Only one battalion was given an M-4 medium tank, and the rest were light tanks. 105 howitzers and 7
There are quite a few Wushan cannons, but only a few can be transported back to China.
Being so stingy with the National Government, they were very generous to the Communist Party, including aircraft, artillery, and tanks. Judging from the intelligence from the military commander, the Northeastern Communist Army invested several regiments of American-made tanks on the Peiping battlefield.
.And among them, medium-sized tanks account for a large part. Moreover, the tank troops of the Northeast Communist Army are still being transferred into Guan in a steady stream.
This treatment is completely different from that given to the National Government, not only in terms of quantity, but also in terms of quality. Damn it, do the United States and Britain know who is the legitimate government and army of China? What is their next step?
Aren't they willing to move their embassy to Yan'an?
Do they really think that their central and military commanders are just a bunch of freeloaders? What is the base area of the Northeast Communist Army like? It is indeed difficult to break into the current military commanders and central commanders. But in Peiping and Tianjin, whether it is military commanders or
Even the Central Government has many agents embedded in it. Isn’t it difficult to find out exactly what kind of equipment the Communist army uses on the battlefield?
Negotiations with the United States and Britain have been fruitless, and the Americans have never agreed to end aid to the Anti-Union. They have also been unable to refrain from speaking out on the issue of handing over all aid to Chongqing for distribution. No matter how many times the ambassador to the United States proposed to the White House,
Despite repeated protests, my wife’s many trips to the United States were all in vain.
The most important thing is that the right to distribute all US aid supplies is in the hands of the American who is always fighting with him for the leadership of the army. In order to force himself to hand over the command of the troops stationed in India, this man,
All remaining US military aid was seized. Niang Xipi, this guy is not here to aid China, he is here specifically to act as a troublemaker.
At the Cairo Conference, I repeatedly proposed to replace the damn U.S. Army Lieutenant General, and asked the United States and Britain to hand over the supplies and equipment aiding China to the National Government for unified distribution. But whether it was Roosevelt or the fat Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, it was a matter of life and death.
Don't spit. Even on this matter, I don't even want to talk.
Although he satisfied the needs of leaders of great powers at the Cairo Conference, he also failed on the issue of aid. He was so angry because of the attitude of the United States and Britain that their real interests came first. After returning to China, because of the defeat in the Battle of Changde,
The No. 1 person in Chongqing got very angry. At the 1943 military review meeting, he threw several special water glasses one after another.
Looking at him with a pale face, all the officials who participated in the military review meeting below said that they knew where the problem was, but no one dared to say anything. It was obvious that at this time, no one wanted to do anything about these old and cunning people.
The root of the problem lies with the Americans, and it cannot be solved by Chongqing.
What's particularly important is that now Americans are not asking for themselves, but themselves are asking for Americans, so this problem will be difficult to solve. If Americans are asking for themselves, then solving these problems is a matter of one sentence. But now the United States
People are very realistic and put their own interests first.
While no one can express an opinion on this matter, no one wants to get involved in this muddy water. Everyone here is a long-time veteran in Chongqing’s political arena. The character of the number one person in China right now is still
They can all feel it clearly, so no one wants to touch this bad thing.
But sometimes, you don’t have to say it if you don’t want to. It’s really hard to bear the murderous gaze of this old gentleman. The man who is called the pocket chairman and the most beloved general who has been repeatedly appointed
The sixth war zone and commander of the expeditionary force gritted his teeth and stood up first.
He suggested that at present, the Japanese troops in the entire North China were attracted to the Jizhong battlefield, especially the battlefield in eastern Henan, and there was almost no chance for the main force of the Japanese army. They should at least conduct a local counterattack, achieve one or more victories, and show it to the Allies.
Let's see who is the main force on the Chinese battlefield and who can hold back more Japanese troops.
In his opinion, it is now completely possible to mobilize the most elite armies from the First Theater Zone, which has no important combat missions for the time being, and all the troops are the most complete, to launch a comprehensive counterattack against the Japanese troops in the east of Henan, and to regain as much as possible in the east of Henan. And choose
As the focus of the counterattack, East Henan is completely able to kill two birds with one stone from the current situation.
If the east of Henan can be recovered, it will prevent the communist army in North China from moving further south after completing the Jizhong operation. At the same time, it can expand the depth of the first theater before the communist army in Shandong advances westward and cut off the communist army on the battlefield in Shanxi.
Direct contact with the Shandong Communist Army.
At the same time, we are looking for fighter planes to enter southern Hebei and gain a bridgehead to re-enter North China. If we can regain control of southern Hebei, we can also cut off the connection between the three units of the North China Communist Army, as well as the Huaihe Communist Army and the North China Communist Army. Prevent the Communist Army from taking advantage of North China.
Human and material resources to further expand our strength.
In the Shanxi battlefield, the main force of the World War II area plus a group army from the First theater area, attached to one to three armies of the Eighth theater area, launched a counterattack in the direction of southern Shanxi. Taking advantage of the Shanxi battlefield, the Japanese army was trapped outside the Tongpu and Pinghan railways, and the entire line was contracted.
The situation has re-entered the mountainous areas of southern Shanxi and at least restored control of the Zhongtiao Mountains.
At the same time, we must try our best to eliminate the Japanese troops in Yuncheng and the threat to the western section of the Longhai Railway. We must also firmly control southwestern Shanxi and recover the Zhongtiao Mountains to at least ensure that the southern part of Shanxi is not controlled by the communist army. At present, the entire southern Shanxi and
In southwestern Shanxi, there are only the Japanese 37th Division in Yuncheng and the reorganized independent mixed fourth brigade.
The other forces of the Japanese First Army in Shanxi are currently concentrated along the Taiyuan and Zhengtai Railways. And they are currently under siege by the Shanxi Communist Army's Shanxi-Suiyuan and Taiyue Military Regions, as well as one section of each of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei and Shanxi-Hebei-Luyu Military Regions.
.The strength of each department has suffered considerable losses, and the overall connection has been divided.
The Thirty-seventh Division stationed in Yuncheng is actually on its own in terms of strategic situation. If we take advantage of this opportunity and concentrate the main force of the World War II zone, plus the cooperation of the first and eighth theaters, we can completely defeat it.
Demonstrate the combat effectiveness of the national army to friendly countries and obtain more reinforcements.
He also suggested that if necessary, the 35th Army currently stationed in Suiyuan could be increased and returned to Shanxi to participate in the war. Although the 35th Army is a miscellaneous army, it has always maintained an excellent record in the war against Japan. Moreover, the 35th Army has always maintained an excellent record in the war against Japan.
The obedience is also quite good.
Now that Suiyuan has been recovered, an army originally stationed in the Shanxi-Sui border area has been transferred to Suibei and Suixi. The 35th Army now remains in Houtao and is no longer of much use. The 35th Army will
It is much better to transfer elite troops to Shanxi to participate in the war than to do nothing now under the nose of the Communist Army in the Northwest.
