"Jiaodong? Zhao Zhi is actually for Jiaodong? Doesn't he want Hebei and most of Shandong?" In the Eighth Route Army headquarters, Peng Dehuai looked at the intelligence he had just received and was puzzled. He didn't understand why Zhao Zhi would give up what he was about to get.
Most of Shandong went to Jiaodong instead.
"Notify Yang Dezhi to withdraw immediately. Zhao Zhi doesn't want Texas, so why is he still staying there?" The Eighth Route Army also intercepted the intelligence about the Kwantung Army's recent southward movement. Like other Eighth Route Army commanders, Peng Dehuai also believed that Zhao Zhi went to Jiaodong.
It was to avoid the powerful Kwantung Army.
"Deputy Commander, look at this." This is a piece of intelligence from Chongqing. It was sent back at the risk of death by an intelligence agent lurking within the Chongqing Military and Political Department. After looking closely, Peng Dehuai discovered that this was not something about North China and Central China.
The intelligence on the troop mobilization of the Japanese and puppet troops was an order for the 74th Army, which was dubbed "Hu Ben" by the Nationalist Government, to move southward.
"Yunnan training?" Peng Dehuai realized the mystery. The 74th Army is currently one of the few troops in the country that is good at fighting. The appearance of Zhao Zhi in Central China made the situation strange and unpredictable. According to Peng Dehuai's ideas and Chiang Kai-shek's consistent
do
Feng, the Nationalist Government should dispatch troops like the 74th Army to Henan and Shandong at this time, but he sent the 74th Army south to Yunnan for training. It would be strange if there is nothing fishy in this. Then Yunnan is right next to Myanmar, which is run by Zhao Zhi.
?.
"Myanmar? Jiaodong? Jiaodong? Myanmar?" Peng Dehuai, who was murmuring, paced back and forth in the headquarters. After turning his head and seeing the large map on the wall, Peng Dehuai suddenly realized. "Come here, send electricity to Yan'an immediately. This Zhao Zhi is very cunning.
, It’s a good way to cover up Chen Cang.” The fresh telegram was quickly sent out,
But Peng Dehuai's heart could not calm down for a long time. Zhao Zhi deceived everyone. When everyone thought that his target was Okamura Neji, Zhao Zhi suddenly went to Jiaodong. This was nothing, but if he added
The whole thing becomes clear when the 74th Army goes south to Yunnan and Jiaodong and Myanmar are connected along the sea route.
No wonder Chiang Kai-shek would dispatch the 74th Army southward to Yunnan. No wonder Zhao Zhi would dispatch a large number of Burmese troops to fight in Shandong. No wonder Zhao Zhi’s Jewish legions would attack Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia. It turns out that Zhao Zhi was for the coastlines of those small countries. He
It is to use Thailand's sea route to help the troops of the Nationalist Government to land northward.
From the beginning of the Shandong campaign, Zhao Zhi's goal was Jiaodong. He wanted to use the Jiaodong Peninsula as a bridgehead or springboard. As long as Jiaodong was still in Zhao Zhi's hands, he would continue to help the National Government send troops to
Entering the North China Theater, as for the ships transporting troops, Peng Dehuai knew that it would be difficult for Zhao Zhi.
"Old Peng has sent a telegram. He seems to be in a hurry." Zhou Enlai read the telegram from Peng Dehuai with a stern look in his eyes. Shanxi was restored, and the Nationalist Government took advantage of its good relationship with Lei Lei.
, has compressed the control areas of the Jinsui Army and the Eighth Route Army to the extreme. Zhao Zhi guarded the two areas in Hebei.
Although the Eighth Route Army guerrillas participated in the attack during the Second Congress, it seemed a bit insignificant compared to the record of the Kuomintang guerrillas. Now Zhao Zhi is helping the National Government transport troops to land in Jiaodong. If this continues,
The base area controlled by ** will become smaller and smaller, and the consequences will be disastrous.
"I built the plank road secretly in Chencang, good. Zhao Zhi has deceived all of us. He is worthy of being respected by Chiang Kai-shek. There is no such talent in the Kuomintang." ** still looked calm, only familiar.
His people will notice that he is not calm at this time from his frequent smoking behavior.
As an excellent military strategist, Mao Zedong is even more far-term than Zhou En. Zhao Zhi's purpose of taking Jiaodong cannot be as simple as helping Mao Zedong to land in Shandong. If Zhao Zhi has enough ships to transport the 74th Army
, then he also has the ability to go all the way north or south along the coastline.
Zhao Zhi is a person who likes to be arbitrary. This was already the case when he was in Zhangwu County. If he captures Jiaodong, what will happen to the anti-Japanese armed forces formed by the Japanese in Jiaodong? Will they be incorporated by Zhao Zhi or by the Japanese?
Or was Zhao Zhi driven out of Jiaodong? **Do you know?
No matter what the answer is, Zhao Zhi will not allow another voice to appear in Jiaodong. Zhangwu County is a living example. Until now, Zhangwu County, which is controlled by Lei Lei, is still unable to penetrate with needles and cannot be poured out with water. In the past,
Zhang Lan, the guerrilla leader, had already been transferred to Myanmar by Zhao Zhi.
"What should we do?" None of the senior leaders of the Communist Party in the cave said anything, but everyone was thinking about the same question. What should we do with the anti-Japanese armed forces developed by the Communist Party in Jiaodong? Although there has been a long-standing relationship between Zhao Zhi and the Eighth Route Army.
The relationship is good, but that's all
It is basically unlikely that Zhao Zhi would agree to the activities of the Eighth Route Army's anti-Japanese armed forces in Jiaodong, such as aiding weapons and ammunition. After all, the example of Zhangwu County is there. He didn't even give face to the National Government, let alone
The guerrilla arm of the Eighth Route Army.
"Tell them to withdraw, it won't help if they stay in Jiaodong." Zhao Zhi spoke. Zhao Zhi was obviously determined to win Jiaodong. Trying to have a relationship with him at this time would only break the relationship between Zhao Zhi and the Eighth Route Army.
, this is too much gain and loss. Instead of waiting for Zhao Zhi to mention the matter after taking the initiative, it is better to withdraw the anti-Japanese armed forces in Jiaodong to the west. Making concessions now will also lay the foundation for great progress in the future.
There was no better way, so Mao Zedong's proposal became the final decision. The telegram sent to Zhao Zhi was carefully considered by Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai. There was a hint of tact in the wording. I believe that after Zhao Zhi saw this telegram,
You should understand what ** means. Coincidentally, on **'s top
At this time, Chiang Kai-shek in the South Bank Villa also convened a group of staff to discuss Zhao Zhi's plan to capture Jiaodong. However, Chiang Kai-shek was luckier than Yan'an. At least he already knew some inside information when Zhao Zhi had this plan, but he
I didn't expect Zhao Zhi to succeed so quickly.
"Mr. Jiang, I think General Zhenguo's springboard plan is feasible." An aide named Wang under Chiang Kai-shek first pointed at the map on the table and said, "General Zhenguo's troops have captured all the coastal cities in Thailand and Vietnam.
In this case, the sea ports we can choose will be greatly expanded, and there are American allies
With the fleet as our backing, I believe that the plan to land in Shandong by sea and land will go smoothly. And the most important thing is that our 74th Army is equipped with American equipment. It is not difficult to see from the mercenary troops of General Zhenguo that the American equipment is different from the Japanese.
As long as the 74th Army safely lands in Jiaodong, the liberation of Shandong will be just around the corner."
"Flattery" The staff next to him secretly cursed this guy named Wang in his heart. Anyone with a discerning eye can see this result, so there is no need for him to say it here. This is not an obvious flattery to Chiang Kai-shek.
The 74th Army was called "Hu Ben" by Chiang Kai-shek, but it was not comparable to that of ordinary revolutionary troops. Coupled with the all-American weapons and equipment equipped by Zhao Zhi for the 74th Army, the 74th Army was even more powerful than a tiger.
Chiang Kai-shek, who was concentrating on reading the battle report, didn't think much of it. The facts were before his eyes. Zhao Zhi had indeed captured most of the Japanese-controlled areas in Jiaodong. If nothing else happened, before the 74th Army arrived at the coast of Jiaodong by sea and land, Zhao Zhi
We can win Jiaodong Quan
The change of hands in Jiaodong means that the Nationalist Government has a springboard. The troops heading north using the US fleet can easily reach the North China Theater. Coupled with the combined efforts of the Shanxi and Henan garrison, the plan to regain Shandong and cut across the Japanese army's north-south connections can be completed.
through realization.
Everyone, including Chiang Kai-shek, responded positively to Zhao Zhi's Jiaodong operation. When Zhao Zhi first moved his troops south to besiege Dezhou and Binzhou, Chiang Kai-shek had been paying attention to the intelligence sent by the military commander. He was also worried about going south to support the South Asian battlefield.
The Japanese Kwantung Army will change its route to attack Zhao Zhi.
Good Zhao Zhi gave up the Dezhou Pass in time, and the Japanese Kwantung Army troops who were eager to go south went straight south without much stop. Although Okamura Neji took the opportunity to regain control of Hengshui, Dezhou, and Xingtai, Zhao Zhi's early control of Hebei
, the attrition operation of the Japanese and puppet troops in Shandong has been successful.
The continuous raids that lasted for more than a month caused the Japanese and puppet troops in Hebei and Shandong to lose more than 40,000 people. Although these casualties were nothing to the wealthy Neiji Okamura, once the 74th Army landed in Jiaodong and launched a strong attack, waiting for
Okamura Neiji’s will be a bigger one
catastrophe. Compared with the anti-Japanese guerrilla forces of the Spark Plan, the 74th Army is more courageous and has stronger firepower. Coupled with the cooperation of the guerrilla armed forces ordered to lurk in enemy-occupied areas, I believe that China’s anti-Japanese situation will change as the
The situation was reversed due to the attack of the 74th Army.
"Order that the reserve army stationed in Henan be prepared to attack the Japanese and puppet troops in Shandong with the 74th Army. All supplies of the reserve army will be distributed on priority." The 300,000 reserve army trained by Thunder is Chiang Kai-shek's hope. For Zhao Zhi's Shandong Hengda
Plan
After the war, Chiang Kai-shek almost staked everything. If the Shandong battlefield could contain more than 500,000 Japanese and puppet troops, Chiang Kai-shek would not mind throwing all 300,000 reserve troops into Shandong. Compared with the entire anti-Japanese situation, the sacrifice of this small number of troops was simply insignificant.
Nothing.
"So the national government has agreed to our plan." Looking at the message sent from the Nan'an Villa, Zhao Zhi showed a smile on his face. The National Government has been overwhelmed by its Shandong Cross-cutting Plan. In order to win a big victory
, Chiang Kai-shek had to use all his family resources to support himself. It seems that all the preparations he made in the early stage were not in vain.
According to Zhao Zhi's plan, at this time tomorrow, the last wave of Japanese and puppet troops in Jiaodong will be surrounded and annihilated in Yantai. At that time, Zhao Zhi will order more than 100,000 young men from Jiaodong to be recruited into Thunder's training camp here for training.
Three months later, the 74th Army had a reserve force of 100,000 men. I believe that Chiang Kai-shek, who is far away in Chongqing, will be too happy to sleep.
