An hour and a half later, in Ouyang Yun's office, Marshal Zhang, Li Tieshu and Shan Renxiong arrived one after another, and the four people immediately started a meeting with a military map.
Ouyang Yun first introduced the progress made by Ding Yi's troops to the three of them. When he removed the small green flag that originally represented Harem Chun's Third Front Army from the Nong'an area, the three of them were quite surprised. Marshal Zhang Said: "I didn't expect that Ding Yi was not only good at training troops, but he was also so good at commanding. It is not easy for two paratrooper divisions to defeat two strong Japanese divisions in such a short period of time."
Among the three, Li Tieshu was the most familiar with Ding Yi. He was very happy for Ding Yi's achievements. At the same time, he also realized the purpose of this meeting. He smiled and said: "In this way, the rear of the Kwantung Army will be empty. "
"Don't be too happy too early." Ouyang Yun retorted. His fingers immediately touched several areas on the China-North Korea border and said: "Here, here, the Japanese army has more than two million troops, including local reinforcements. The army, and then the Korean Communist Army, yes, according to the intelligence just sent back from Seoul, the Chinese puppet troops that were originally used by the Japanese army to suppress North Korea are also gathering."
"Is it possible for these puppet troops to instigate rebellion?" Shan Renxiong asked.
"It's not worth the risk. During their time in North Korea, they did too much evil and had too much blood on their hands. Although it is the blood of North Koreans, we have to be vigilant. The temperament of these people has completely changed. If they don't do it well, they will If it causes a disaster, I don’t want to be poked in the back by future generations after I die.”
The Japanese base camp in Tokyo originally implemented the exchange of Chinese puppet troops and North Korean puppet troops to suppress each other's local areas. This move was indeed vicious and got rid of the trouble of fellow villagers (for the Chinese puppet troops, going to North Korea also allowed them to stay away from each other). (In response to the threat of a murder order), they all became extremely fierce, but relatively speaking, because of the strong rise of the Cadet Army and the National Defense Force, the North Korean puppet troops were transferred to the front line or directly frightened before they had time to show their hands. Therefore, the crimes committed against the Chinese people are relatively small, but the Chinese puppet troops have no control at all in North Korea. In the hearts of North Koreans, they have become a demonic force even more vicious and ferocious than the Japanese army, and they attract even more hatred. Ten times or even a thousand times more than the Japanese army (from this point of view, the strategy of the Japanese army's Tokyo base camp was successful, because the Chinese puppet army was extremely vicious, and the Japanese army became the object of dependence of the Koreans, because in North Korea, there were only Japanese troops. Only then can the Chinese puppet army be suppressed).
"The number is quite large. I'm afraid Ding Yi and the Far East Army alone won't be able to withstand it." Marshal Zhang said. After a pause, he hesitated and then said: "Chief Commander, is the Far East Army trustworthy? I heard that one of the veterans The proportion of Maozi exceeds 70%."
When he was still the commander-in-chief of the Northeastern Army, Marshal Zhang often fell into the trap of Lao Maozi. It was precisely because he was tricked by Lao Maozi that when the Japanese Kwantung Army attacked the Northeast, he gave up before fighting and was directly killed. In the three northeastern provinces, because of the above reasons, even though China and Soviet Russia are currently in the honeymoon period, he still has a strong sense of distrust towards Soviet Russia.
"Don't worry about this. Since I dare to use them, I have full confidence in controlling them. Speaking of the Far East Army, there is something you may not know. Stalin is now asking us for people, saying that the reason why the Russians in the Far East are unwilling He was coerced by us to return home."
The Far East was officially incorporated into China. As for the disposal of the original inhabitants, the Soviet government initially took into account the lack of domestic materials and intended to shed the burden, so it offered to let them make their own choices. But now, with the civil war in Germany, the Soviet Union has The situation improved, and the Soviet Russian government suddenly discovered that population had become the most scarce resource. They changed their previous tone and asked the original residents of the Far East to move back immediately. However, in view of the Soviet Russian government's poor performance before the war, they again In addition, the Chinese government's policies for the indigenous residents are quite attractive. Comparing the two sides of the Soviet Russians in the Far East, the vast majority of them are willing to stay. As a result, the Soviet Russian government's plan failed and began to act rogue. Come.
Since the civil war broke out in Germany, the relationship between China and the Soviet Union has begun to go backwards. Disdainful of the Soviet and Russian government's attitude of doing nothing but doing nothing, the Chinese Supreme Command has asked the Far East Expeditionary Force to stop pursuing the German army and instead When Ouyang Yun retreated from the Sino-Soviet border, he intended to allow the Germans to continue causing trouble for the Soviet Russians. However, the Germans failed to live up to their expectations or were eager to solve internal problems, but began to gradually abandon the occupied Soviet areas. This also made The Stalinist government of Soviet Russia had more energy and confidence to entangle the population and Far East issues with the Chinese government. This back-and-forth attitude of the Soviet Russian government actually angered Ouyang Yun.
"Didn't we agree that it would be voluntary? Stalin was obviously acting rogue by doing this," Li Tieshu said.
"Old Maozi is not trustworthy to begin with." Marshal Zhang snorted coldly.
Seeing that he was off topic, Ouyang Yun quickly changed the subject and said: "Let's not talk about this matter for now. If my estimate is good, the Kwantung Army and the North China Front Army will definitely choose to retreat to encircle and suppress the First Division Ding and the Far East Army. We will definitely We cannot let it succeed.”
"We're about to launch a full-scale attack." Solo Hero asked excitedly.
Ouyang Yun nodded, and then began to move the small red flags representing each unit on the map, while explaining his idea to them: "...Neither Okamura Neji nor Yamada Otsuzo are mediocre, so we have to prevent them from using tricks. The more victory is in sight, the more careful we must be to avoid excessive casualties in our troops..."
The total number of troops of the North China Front Army and the Kwantung Army along the Great Wall and in Liaoning is nearly 400,000. Together with a considerable number of the Korean Co-Prosperity Army and the Puppet Manchukuo National Defense Force, they still have considerable combat power. In addition, the Japanese reinforcements from the mainland will be It will soon enter the Northeast. Under this situation, the Chinese National Defense Force and the Cadet Army simply do not have the strength to eat them up in one bite. However, in order to prevent the Japanese from concentrating their forces on dealing with Ding Yi's headquarters and the Far East Army, appropriate Force is also necessary.
Among the three people, Marshal Zhang was the most eager to regain the Northeast. At the same time, probably because of his background as a warlord, he was also the least sensitive to casualties. He couldn't stand the procrastination in Ouyang Yun's arrangements. He said in confusion: "How can there be no death in a war?" , this has reached the most critical moment, and the Chinese people will definitely be able to accept the death of a few more people."
Ouyang Yun focused on the future, so he didn't want too many people to die, but he couldn't explain this idea clearly to them. He looked at Li Tieshu and Shan Renxiong, and guessed from their expressions that they should have similar thoughts, so he He said seriously: "It's not that I'm afraid of death, but I think this war is far from over. Do you think that as long as you defeat Japan, it's over? No, no, you are all commanders of one side. You should take a longer view and defeat Japan." What happens after that?"
