In Chongqing, the headquarters.
Chairman Chiang and several close aides gathered in front of the big map again.
Chen Cheng looked a little frustrated. He pointed to the map and explained to Chairman Chiang: "Commissioner, Zhu Huaibing's troops and Sun Dianying's troops were blocked by the Eighth Route Army near Ci County. After several days of fierce fighting, the two troops not only failed to break through the Eighth Route Army's obstruction. , but they were defeated by the Eighth Route Army’s fierce counterattack, and these two losers may not be able to count on them.”
When Chairman Jiang heard this, his expression immediately dropped, these two losers!
Chairman Chiang originally pointed to Zhu Huaibing and Sun Dianying to take over the entire southern Hebei Province, but he did not expect that the troops of these two guys were so inexperienced. They failed to realize their intention of taking over the southern Hebei Province, and instead allowed the Eighth Route Army in the southern Hebei Province to fight. It's all over the place, this is really a waste of comparison, and comparison of people to death is inevitable.
Fortunately, these two groups of people were not the only ones arranged by Chairman Chiang.
At that moment, Chairman Chiang asked again: "Where are Wei Lihuang, Fu Zuoyi and Yu Xuezhong?"
"This..." Chen Cheng said with some embarrassment, "Commissioner, Wei Lihuang and Fu Zuoyi stood still and clearly refused to execute the order. Yu Xuezhong's troops moved north, but their movements were slower than a snail, obviously delaying time."
Chairman Jiang's face suddenly became more and more embarrassed. What's going on? Zhu Huaibing and Sun Dianying were positive, but it was a pity that they were just two big idiots and could not do anything at all. Wei Lihuang and Fu Zuoyi were capable, but they secretly flirted with the Eighth Route Army. Yu Xuezhong, a good old man, did not want to offend either party, so he simply came. A great procrastination method.
Chairman Chiang looked at the map of North China and was so depressed that his lungs were about to explode.
It seemed that there was nothing going on in the vast North China without him, Jiang.
At this time, He Yingqin said sadly: "Even if the Communist Party occupies the entire North China, it will be of no use. As soon as Xu Rui's troops are finished, Ishihara Wanji's Seventh Army will enter the pass with thunderous momentum. When that day comes, not only will the Communist Party vomit out what it has eaten this time, but it will also be difficult to maintain its previous territory!"
"Not necessarily!" Bai Chongxi shook his head and said, "As long as the Chahar Independent Regiment can hold on in Fengtian for six months, even the most conservative estimate is that the Eighth Route Army in North China can expand to more than one million people. At that time, The Eighth Route Army can seize the opportunity before Ishihara Kanji's Seventh Army enters the pass and launch a war of annihilation against the Japanese Army in Mongolia, the First Army in Shanxi, and the Twelfth Army in Shandong, and it has a high probability of winning. By that time, The situation in North China will be completely different!"
Hearing this, Chairman Chiang was so depressed that he almost vomited blood. Where did you come from, Old Bai
Chen Cheng said: "The question is, is it possible for the Chahar Independent Regiment to persist for six months?"
"Then it depends on how Ishihara Wan'er fights Xu Rui." Bai Chongxi said quietly, "Ishihara Wan'er can be praised as the wisdom of the Japanese army, which shows that he is also a wise man. If he can use force as an upright teacher, With his strength crushing him from the front, it would be quite difficult for Xu Rui to hold Fengtian for six months."
After a pause, Bai Chongxi said again: "But if Ishihara Wan'er wants to play some conspiracy with Xu Rui, the situation will be difficult to deal with. There are really few people in the world who are Xu Rui's opponents when it comes to conspiracy and tactics. , If Ishihara Wanji really exploits his weaknesses and avoids his strengths to fight with Xu Rui, there is a high probability that he will shoot himself in the foot!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Dai Li, the military commander, hurried in from outside the door.
Standing at attention and saluting, Dai Li said in a deep voice: "Commissioner, I have received reliable information. The reason why Tieling, which was previously stationed by the first battalion of the Chahar Independent Regiment, was lost so quickly was because the little devils adopted a very vicious anti-humanity strategy. The tactics, they captured many people nearby and used them as human shields!"
"What did you say? Capture people and use them as human shields?"
Chairman Chiang, Chen Cheng, and He Yingqin's expressions darkened.
"Yes!" Dai Li said solemnly, "The Japs captured the people as hostages. Xu Rui's troops were driven out of their defensive positions bit by bit because they were unwilling to shoot at the people. In the end, they could only commit suicide in the face of the Japs' machine gun fire. A battalion of the Chahar Independent Regiment was eaten by ghosts like this."
"The Communist Party is just stupid." Chen Cheng sneered and gloated, "Now Xu Rui's Chahar Independent Regiment is in big trouble. Didn't their Eighth Route Army always claim to be a team of poor people? I want to see it. Can they really stop pointing their guns at the people and not shooting at the people!"
"Don't underestimate the Communist Party." Chairman Chiang said, "They can do it."
Chen Cheng sneered and said, "Then the Chahar Independent Regiment will have no choice but to withdraw from Fengtian."
After a pause, Chen Cheng continued: "In this case, let alone six months, it will be impossible for Xu Rui's Chahar Independent Regiment to defend Fengtian for six days!"
Chairman Chiang and He Yingqin suddenly became energetic.
However, Bai Chongxi quickly poured a large basin of cold water on the three of them.
Bai Chongxi said: "My opinion is exactly the opposite of Brother Cixiu. Someone is indeed going to be in big trouble in the Northeast battlefield, but I'm afraid it won't be Xu Rui who is going to be in big trouble, but Ishihara Wan'er!"
"What did you say?" He Yingqin and Chen Cheng immediately looked at each other.
Chairman Chiang also said in confusion: "Jiansheng, do you think Ishihara Wan'er will be in big trouble?"
Bai Chongxi nodded and said: "Commissioner, I just said that if Ishihara Wan'er crushes Xu Rui from the front with an upright army, although he will pay a higher price, he can still win Fengtian in a short time. It's possible, but he insists on playing tricks and tricks with Xu Rui, which is to exploit his weaknesses and avoid his strengths, and to shoot himself in the foot."
Chen Cheng was unconvinced and said: "From the Chinese perspective, Ishihara Wanji's move is indeed very vicious, but from a purely military perspective, Ishihara Wanji's move has achieved very good results. In just two days, Taking Tieling and capturing the first battalion of the Chahar Independent Regiment are proof of this. How can this be shooting oneself in the foot?"
Bai Chongxi glanced at Chen Cheng and really wanted to say: short-sighted!
Chen Cheng instantly felt like he had suffered a critical hit of 10,000 points, and said angrily: "Am I right?"
Bai Chongxi sighed softly, and then said: "Brother Cixiu, tell me, after the September 18th Incident, various anti-Japanese armed forces sprung up in the three eastern provinces. How long did it take the Kwantung Army to eliminate the resistance armed forces in the three eastern provinces? "
Chen Cheng said: "It seems that the real eradication was not completed until the beginning of this year. Based on this calculation, it should have taken nine years."
Bai Chongxi said: "It took the Kwantung Army nine years to clear out the anti-Japanese allied forces in the Northeast, but this does not mean that the more than 30 million folks in the three northeastern provinces are now willing to be Japanese obedient citizens. On the contrary, the folks in the three northeastern provinces have deep feelings in their hearts. The hatred for the Japanese is even more intense, but they keep their hatred deep in their hearts."
After a pause, Bai Chongxi continued: "If we use an analogy, the three northeastern provinces are like a powder barrel. If nothing happens, there will be no danger if this large barrel of gunpowder is placed there. But if you throw a little bit on top, Mars, hehe, then this powder keg will explode immediately and blow the little devil to pieces!"
Chairman Chiang said: "Are you saying that Ishihara Wan'er is just throwing sparks into a powder keg by taking people hostage?"
"Yes, what Ishihara Wanji did was to throw sparks on the huge powder keg of the three eastern provinces." Bai Chongxi shook his head and continued, "It is said that Ishihara Wanji was the wisdom of the Japanese army, but from this incident Look, this guy is just a stupid pig, just look at it, the Seventh Army is about to be in dire straits!"
Chairman Chiang, Chen Cheng, and He Yingqin looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn’t quite believe it.
Although Bai Chongxi's analysis was clear and logical, Chairman Chiang and others still couldn't imagine how a large and heavily armed group like Ishihara Wan'er's 7th Army could easily fall into a desperate situation? To put it bluntly, at this time, Chairman Chiang and the senior generals of the National Army had not yet seen the power of the People's War, so they had no way of imagining what would happen next in the three eastern provinces? Bai Chongxi also had never seen the People's War, but based on his confidence in Xu Rui, he had already foreseen that a magnificent counterattack was about to be staged in the three eastern provinces.
…
In Fengtian, the headquarters of the Chahar Independent Regiment.
A communications soldier hurriedly walked into the war room and reported to Xu Rui: "Captain, the latest news is that the people in dozens of villages near Princess Village have all mobilized and formed a peasant voluntary movement of more than a thousand people. Guards! Ah Jiu plans to organize the puppet troops in Faku County into the Self-Defense Forces to serve as the backbone of the grassroots!"
"I got it." Xu Rui nodded and added, "Tell Ah Jiu, don't rush into a head-on battle with the Japs. If you encounter a large Japs force coming to mop up, you must avoid the enemy's sharp edges and preserve your vitality as the first priority!"
"Yes!" the signal soldier agreed, turned around and left in a hurry. As soon as the signal soldier left, another signal soldier hurried into the war room and reported to Xu Rui, "Commander, anyway, the puppet army in Heishan County, Just now, with the cooperation of more than a dozen surrounding peasant self-defense forces, they ambushed a Japanese transport unit near Daju Township, killing more than fifty Japanese soldiers, and confiscated more than 3,000 kilograms of grain and two trucks. truck."
"Okay!" Xu Rui nodded and added, "Tell the working group in Heishan County to continue mobilizing the nearby people."
"Yes!" Just as the second signal soldier left, the third signal soldier came in again, stood at attention and reported to Xu Rui, "Captain, Minister Liang just sent back a telegram asking whether her working group has arrived at the border of Jilin and Liaoning. Should they continue? Go deep into Jilin Province and mobilize the people and puppet troops in various counties in Jilin Province?"
"Of course!" Xu Rui said without any doubt, "Telegraph Liang Yixiao to continue going deep, boldly mobilize the people along the way, and boldly instigate rebellion against the puppet troops along the way. I believe that the blood of the fellow villagers in the three eastern provinces is still cold! We should be the banner to resist the atrocities of the Japanese." Once we start talking about it, folks from hundreds of counties in the three provinces will definitely gather together!"
