The Siping Battle ended successfully at seven o'clock in the morning the next day. The Anjia officers and soldiers who detoured from the north and south wings met in Tashan Village. After the Japanese troops in the encirclement learned that they had been abandoned, their defenses were completely lost. The Japanese troops scattered throughout the city gave up sadly.
weapons, and raised a white flag together with the puppet troops who had long wanted to fight. Afterwards, more than 9,000 Japanese soldiers and more than 36,000 puppet troops were made prisoners. (《》网7*
The result of this battle once again confirmed the judgment of General Kanji Ishihara, Chief of Staff of the Japanese Army - it would be unwise to compete face-to-face with the Anjia Army on land. Even with solid city defenses and a complete firepower system, it would not be able to deal with the three-dimensional attack of the Anjia Army.
It is a wise move to withdraw from Manchuria, Mongolia and the Far East in a similar attack.
Hearing that Siping Street, which had been worked hard for decades, did not last until twenty-four hours and was declared fall. Emperor Hirohito, who stayed up late in Australia waiting for the battle report, could no longer sit still and personally called Ishihara Wanji, who then called the Japanese base camp.
In the name of the Kwantung Army and the China Expeditionary Force, a general withdrawal order was officially issued.
Just when the Siping Battle attracted the attention of all parties, the 19th Motorized Infantry Division of the Seventh Army under the Fourth Route Army quietly occupied Guisui, blocking the eastward advance of Fu Zuoyi's troops. The 20th Tank Division occupied Datong. These two
The Japanese troops in the city surrendered to An's army without firing a single shot. The situation was extremely strange.
Lieutenant General Liao Minlin, commander of the Seventh Group Army of the Anjia Army, commanded the troops directly under the group army and the 21st Motorized Infantry Division, stationed on the line between Fengzhen and Jining. In this way, Zhangjiakou, Zhangbei, Guisui and Datong formed a whole, mixed in
The Jinsui Army and the Eighth Route Army were very uncomfortable and had to seek a political and peaceful solution.
Mongolia, Kulun.
After attending the welcome dinner last night and getting drunk, Li Xiaolong, who came to block An Yi early in the morning, finally got what he wanted. After breakfast, the two went to the small conference room together.
The small conference room had been tidied up. While the waiter was serving tea and water, An Yi came to the window and opened two windows to let in fresh air.
Li Xiaolong stood next to An Yi, turned to look at An Yi, who was bathed in the golden light of the morning sun, and sighed: "I haven't seen you for five or six years. The An family army is now a powerful army with a world-famous reputation. The Northeast War is progressing at an unexpected speed...
....Now I feel more and more how extraordinary you are. Without you, I’m afraid the strategic counterattack would not have come so early!”
"What? Are you envious?"
An Yi looked at Li Xiaolong with a smile but not a smile: "If you had not left at the beginning, you would at least be a commander of a group army, leading the troops in bloody battlefields... But it seems that you are not bad now, a political commissar of a large base area,
The level within your party, government and military is quite high!"
A trace of pride appeared on Li Xiaolong's face: "The Gansu-Qingning base area was established by Comrade Huang Han and I. At the same time, we are also responsible for the development of the Xinjiang base area. Now the two base areas have been connected and have become the consolidated rear area of the anti-Japanese battlefield.
, continuously transporting combat materials to the front line!"
An Yi smiled and said: "In the past few years, you have come up with a lot of good things from me. Do you feel the powerful power of industry now?"
"We trade fairly, and we Japanese people have never rejected industrialization. The great abundance of industrial and agricultural products will be an important feature of future Japanese society!"
Li Xiaolong said seriously: "The grain output in the northwest is low, but the livestock industry is developed, the mineral deposits are very rich, and some areas have the advantage of developing hydropower. In the past two years, Shengtang.com, under the exploration of geological experts sent by you, our Jingtieshan Mountain in Gansu Province
Iron ore, Mazhuangshan iron-tungsten mixed ore, Targou tungsten ore, silver-copper-silver mixed ore, Jinchuan and Baijiazuizi nickel mines, Xinyuan iron ore in Xinjiang, Wutonggou iron ore and Motuosala manganese mine, Salto
The Hai Chromium Mine, Qinghai Xitieshan Lead-Zinc Mine and Tongyugou Copper Mine, etc. have all been put into mining and supply you with a large amount of primary smelting products every year. How can you say that we are taking advantage?"
An Yi flattened his mouth: "Although you have provided a large number of products to our company, in the final analysis we have helped your base area to initially establish a relatively complete industrial system. As far as I know, the metals in Gansu, Qingning, and Xinjiang are
Seventy or eighty smelting plants have been established, in addition to a large number of coal wells, coal chemical and chemical enterprises, as well as machine tool, cable, motor, cotton spinning, food and other factories!
"If you don't talk about other places, let's talk about Linze County in your base area. This county is located northwest of Zhangye and relies on the nearby Jingtieshan Iron Mine, as well as the abundant water resources of Liyuan River and Dasha River, as well as the rich water resources in Gansu Province.
Coal resources, construction of industrial park in Nijiaying, Qilian Mountain Pass...
"Today, this industrial park, which has two hydropower stations upstream and a large thermal power plant in the park for water and power supply, has developed rapidly. It already has a steel plant with an annual output of 50,000 tons of steel, as well as several metal processing plants and factories relying on this steel plant.
The military factory alone can produce tens of thousands of Zhongzheng series rifles and hundreds of mortars of various calibers every month. In addition, there are also unscrupulous cannons, gun bags, grenades, etc. that can be built by ourselves.
You are not afraid that Nanjing will strangle you... From this point of view, it is you who will ultimately benefit, right?"
Li Xiaolong was secretly frightened. He didn't know how the top-secret opponent in his base area knew about this industrial park in Nijiaying. Only a few senior officials from the central government and the base area knew about it. Although people in other base areas received arms supplies on a regular basis, they didn't know where it came from.
Where did it come from.Temple Latest Chapter.com
However, after dealing with An Yi for a long time, Li Xiaolong has long developed a temperament that is not alarmed by changes, and he still said seriously:
"We admit that Chairman An and the industrial groups under your command have been of great help to the construction of our base area. However, we do not own it for free, and we also make full use of the mechanical equipment and advanced technology you provided to vigorously arm our revolutionary army.
We struck hard at the Japanese on the anti-Japanese battlefield and pinned the Japanese down in North China and Shandong. In just five years, we wiped out hundreds of thousands of Japanese and puppet troops on the front and behind enemy lines, which greatly improved the overall situation of global anti-fascism.
It has made a huge contribution!
"Also, why didn't Chairman An talk about the deal between you and the Kuomintang? Not only did you help them establish a complete military industry system, but you also supplied so many advanced weapons for free every year. If our Eighth Route Army and New Fourth Army had so many advanced weapons,
The Japanese have long been driven out of China!"
An Yi stared at Li Xiaolong strangely, making him feel uncomfortable, then smiled and said:
"It's very simple. At least until now, Nanjing is still the only legal government in China and the only regime recognized by the international community. It is understandable for us to cooperate with it. However, there are secret transactions between us. For this reason, Nanjing has called us many times to protest.
, but I blocked them all. This is also an important reason why our relationship with Nanjing has become increasingly tense and has reached this point today!
"Look, we have paid so much, what did you do? Not long after our army entered Zhangjiakou, you came to protest, completely ignoring my anger at the generals under my command and the rebellion of the troops and the natural actions I made for it.
Reaction! Is this the proper attitude toward a friend?"
"Sorry, Zhangjiakou is an important city on our way to Pingjin. If Zhangjiakou is not in our hands, our troops in northern Shanxi and Recha will not dare to go south with confidence. In the past two years, the friction between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party has become more and more intense.
, we cannot leave our backs to irresponsible friendly forces!"
Li Xiaolong solemnly explained: "I have also heard about General Lu Yixuan's betrayal of An Jiajun. Although this is a matter between you and Chairman Chiang Kai-shek in Nanjing, our party is in a fair and just position and still believes that it can be resolved peacefully.
Good! General Lu Yixuan is a famous anti-Japanese general. He has been in North China for many years and has made great achievements. He has repeatedly defeated the Japanese army's invasion of Shanxi and then swept from the northwest to the southwest and Jiangnan, repeating the Mongolian dream of invading the Southern Song Dynasty and conquering China. From this point of view, Lu Yi
General Xuan has made great contributions to the country and the nation!
"Now the international force against the invasion of fascist troops is weakening. Warnings have been sent from Moscow on the Soviet-German battlefield many times. After the fall of Chicago in the North American battlefield, the Americans hurriedly blocked the gaps in the defense line. The British and American Allied forces in the southwest Indian Ocean battlefield regained all of South Africa.
The back of the border is unable to launch a sea crossing operation to Madagascar, and the Northeast Africa region has become the back garden of the German and Italian armies..."
An Yi was very surprised: "How do you know so much about these situations?"
Li Xiaolong laughed: "Now our main leaders and military and political generals listen to the 7 o'clock news broadcast on the Syrian Government Radio almost every day, and they know a lot about international events. Do you think we were like that when we were in the Jiangxi Soviet Area?
Do you have to look for expired newspapers to get outside news?"
An Yi burst into laughter, then thought of something, and asked puzzledly: "Lu Yixuan's department publicly sent a telegram to submit to the Nanjing government. It stands to reason that he is now fighting for territory for the Kuomintang government. Why are you so enthusiastic? Is there anything involved in it?"
?”
"No! Absolutely not!"
Li Xiaolong categorically denied: "Lu Yixuan's hands are stained with the blood of Red Army soldiers. Although we are committed to the Anti-Japanese National United Front and we cannot liquidate him, it is extremely difficult to come together! We are just
I don’t want to see the good situation in the anti-Japanese war ruined...
"As your army sent troops to the Northeast, the Central Committee of our Party pointed out keenly: The destruction of the Kwantung Army was inevitable, the Japanese army in North China lost its support, and failure was inevitable. Therefore, we issued a declaration of a final battle against the Japanese invaders. At present, we
The Japanese army made breakthrough progress in various battlefields in Shandong and Hebei. After successive wars, the base areas have been connected together. However, the Japanese army abandoned northern Hebei, central Hebei, southern Hebei and other places, shrinking its troops to Ping, Tianjin, Jinan, and Qingdao.
Wait for the big city and wait and see how the wind changes. If your army ignores domestic public opinion and attacks Lu Yixuan, it will surely anger Chairman Chiang Kai-shek in Nanjing. A civil war will inevitably follow, and the only one who will gain in the end is the Japanese!
"Therefore, for the sake of the overall situation, our party and our army do not agree with your army's crusade against Lu Yixuan's tribe. Chairman An, aren't you always the most generous? During the Northern Expedition, you saved me and our comrades many times.
During the civil war, they also extended a helping hand to save our underground party members many times, so why are they obsessed with a famous anti-Japanese general now and want to get rid of him quickly?"
An Yi smiled lightly and did not dwell on this issue. He knew that no matter what he said, the other party would have something to say. He suddenly changed the topic: "How is Huang Han doing now? I heard that he made another mistake?"
Li Xiaolong looked at An Yi in shock. He didn't expect that he even knew such top-secret information, and he didn't hide it even after thinking about it:
"Comrade Huang Han is conscientious and responsible in his work and is a good hand in military and political affairs, but he does not pay attention to some details and is often criticized... Six months ago, when he represented the central government and held a cadre conference in Dihua, Xinjiang,
The staff at the venue did not notice that his image was juxtaposed with that of Commander-in-Chief Zhu. Although he had people take it down in time afterwards, he did not take the initiative to conduct self-examination and was severely criticized by comrades in the party. However, even so, Comrade Huang Han still
He is still the highest military commander in our base area and has not been deprived of his command authority!"
An Yi nodded, smiled and said to Li Xiaolong:
"Xiaolong, I'm very happy that you can come to Culun to see me. I see that you and Huang Han have lived well these years. As old friends, I am happy for you! But obviously, your status and level are not enough.
Unable to make decisions on some key things, so regarding Zhangjiakou... Oh no, I forgot to tell you, Datong and Guisui are already under our control early this morning. The solution to this package of issues must be solved by Nanjing
Let us sit down and talk slowly with you and I. We cannot make a hasty decision!
"As for the rebellion of Lu Yixuan and his troops from our army, we will properly negotiate with the Nanjing government to resolve it. However, if you have connections in the Lu Department, it is best to say hello - You can't go too far, Lu Yixuan
The officers and soldiers of our unit who are unwilling to stay under his command must be sent back unconditionally, and their personal safety must be fully guaranteed, otherwise there will be no need to discuss anything. This made me angry. Let's have a battle with horses, horses and cannons to see who can laugh.
at last!"
Li Xiaolong did not become angry because of being slighted. He still smiled and said to An Yi:
"After so many years, you are still so direct...Okay, I will report your thoughts to Vice Chairman Zhou. Now General Stilwell, the Chief of Staff of the Allied China Theater, is visiting Yan'an. I think at this time,
Maybe it’s time for all parties to sit down and talk!”
