Chapter 931 If the Germans want to fight, let them come
The third combat plan of "Leapfrog Tactics" was aimed at the Takeku aircraft carrier fleet. Koizumi Toshiichiro was a rare smart person and did not fall for it. Not only that, he also dragged the Sumatra war situation to a stalemate. With Bai Liusu The battle report showed that the number of casualties among the troops was increasing day by day. Ouyang Yun knew that the third plan could only go so far, "I didn't expect that this guy Koizumi was not impulsive this time. It's a pity, but it's not bad. Sumatra, Commander Bai Our troops have reached Natal; in the Malay Peninsula, General Sun's troops have also reached Huiyao. Although the third set of combat plans failed to achieve full success, it can be regarded as a small gain. The initiative is in our hands anyway. Maybe we can change our thinking..."
What Ouyang Yun meant by changing his thinking was actually changing the execution location of the "Leapfrog Tactics". "Look, here, if we can capture these islands, what will happen to New Guinea, Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines?" ." Ouyang Yun pulled down the world map, moved his hand around the vast ocean surface of the North Pacific near the South Asian continent, and asked everyone,
Chen Cheng continued: "The significance of South Asia to the Japanese army is equivalent to their resource base. If we can occupy many islands on the coast of the South Asian continent, it will be equivalent to cutting off the sea lanes between its mainland and South Asia. In this way, I think there may be One day, the Japanese couldn't even provide fuel for the plane to take off."
Hearing what he said, everyone's eyes became brighter, and Feng Yuxiang said: "This is called drawing fuel from the bottom of the cauldron."
The Chinese troops on Sumatra Island and the Malay Peninsula suddenly stopped attacking and began to consolidate their positions. After receiving the relevant information, Koizumi Minichiro first speculated what conspiracy Ouyang Yun was up to. He waited carefully for a week, but the two men disappeared. There were new changes in the Chinese army, and then I was sure that this disaster was finally over, and my anxious heart finally fell back into my stomach.
At this time, the negotiations between Germany and Japan finally bore fruit. Representatives of Germany and Japan held a high-profile press conference in Tokyo, declaring that they would strengthen cooperation in the war against China and announced a package of cooperation terms. Among them, the German representative He even delivered a stern speech, pointing out that the reason why the German government agreed to strengthen cooperation with Japan in this area was, on the one hand, due to the alliance between the two countries, and most importantly, in response to the provocation of the Chinese military, " The Third Reich will not be afraid of provocations from any rogue country. Facts have proved that the countries that provoked the Third Reich before did not end well. The soldiers of the Third Reich will use the lessons of blood and fire to repay those careerists..."
The speech of the German representative quickly spread to Chongqing, which made Chen Cheng and others in the Supreme Command who were not in favor of war against Germany couldn't help but worry. Ouyang Yun had to hold a special meeting to respond to this matter. At the meeting, he pointed out : "I know what everyone is worried about, but let me ask you, if Germany really destroyed the Soviet Union, would they definitely not attack our country? Don't talk about Sino-German friendship. There is really no friendship between China and Germany, and Hitler did not We will recall the military assistance team, and we will not provide so many advanced weapons to Japan. Everyone, don’t you understand by now? It is useless to trust others in this world. You can only rely on yourself for everything. Before, everyone sent Hope in the United States, but so what, if we had not joined the war, the Americans would not even be able to defend Australia. Therefore, instead of waiting for the Germans to come, we might as well take the initiative to block them in Soviet Russia and take it back. Outer Mongolia, the recovery of the Far East, everyone, you have already left your name in history, you know, we Chinese are never afraid of threats, if the Germans want to attack, then just come over..."
"If the Germans want to fight, then let their horses come over." The next day's "Xuebingjun Times" published a long editorial with this sentence from Ouyang Yun as the title. With the publication of this editorial, China The saying that sooner or later there will be a war between Japan and Japan suddenly became loud and clear. At the same time, a new round of patriotic movement was launched in the Guangfu area and the rear area.
A year ago, if Ouyang Yun had said these words, not to mention Chen Cheng and other military and political leaders, even the ordinary Chinese people would have thought that he was talking nonsense and being extremely crazy. But now, especially When Lien Zhan and Lianjie on the domestic battlefield had liberated most of East and Central China, Ouyang Yun made such a cry. Some people might find it offensive, but absolutely no one would think that Ouyang Yun was talking nonsense.
Through previous reorganization and subsequent series of battles, the National Defense Forces have completed their transformation. This transformation is not only in terms of morale and combat effectiveness, but also in spiritual outlook. The predecessor of the National Defense Forces, the former Central Army, regardless of combat effectiveness, in the hearts of the people, it is an official There is a gap between the dogs of the gentry class and their common people. Now, according to the instructions of the Supreme Command, the army must be responsible for reconstruction work while recovering a place, and this reconstruction includes both material and physical aspects. On the spiritual level, the "General Master, Soldier Master" in the hearts of the people began to be associated with terms such as masons and doctors. The people in the Guangfu District were not used to it at first, but as this phenomenon became normal, the main After getting along with each other, those "general masters and military masters" were not as difficult to contact as before. Gradually, the common people recognized them and regarded them as their support from the bottom of their hearts.
The liberation operations and reconstruction work were carried out at the same time. The army not only had to fight, but also served as civilian husbands, construction workers, and sometimes even served as filial sons and grandsons of the elderly who had lost their relatives. When Ouyang Yungang proposed this, he was often met by Chen Cheng and others. People's criticisms were often met with backlash from the military officers below. However, since everything in this world is afraid of seriousness, Ouyang Yun treated this matter as a basic national policy with a cold face, and did not mind risking the possibility of rebellion among the troops. Risk punished a few standouts, allowing the people below to see his determination. Slowly, the atmosphere changed.
The treatment of the National Defense Force is not bad; and it seems to be a good feeling to be recognized and respected by the people; in addition, soldiers have to be more record-keeping, and obedience will become a habit after a long time. Therefore, when Chen Cheng What others thought was going to be a big mess has now actually become the norm.
And as the Chinese people recognized the army, and as the people's centripetal force increased, Ouyang Yun had the courage to speak out these heroic words, and only then did the editorial "The Germans want to fight, then let their horses come over" was published. A wave of patriotism immediately broke out,
It is true that Germany is very strong now, but after China has experienced nirvana, although it is still far behind Germany, it will never be bullied and has no power to resist. China is rising strongly.
