"Minister Luo, your National Revolutionary Army made a big tortoise shell here in Huludao! But have you considered the 30 anti-Japanese soldiers on the front line in Jinzhou? Have you considered that you are using blood and lives..."

Comrade Zhu De and Guo Songling who had come to Huludao to negotiate with the Kuomintang Army in the compound of the First Army Headquarters of the National Revolutionary Army, which had just been half built, unexpectedly "coincidentally" met Luo Yaoguo who was inspecting military affairs here.

In a shabby meeting room, Luo Yaoguo smiled and looked at Boss Zhu's dark face that was calm and self-assured.Listening quietly to his eloquent talk about the necessity of the anti-Japanese national united front and the bad influence of the Kuomintang First Army's passive avoidance of war.

It wasn't until Zhu De couldn't make any more sense that he tapped on the table lightly and said calmly, "We just want to drive a nail into the Liaoxi Corridor to deal with the future situation..."

"What is the future situation?" Zhu De asked impatiently.

Luo Yaoguo stood up, fixedly looked at Zhu De and the others, and said in a heavy tone, "After all, our country is not unified, and we can't find a way to unify in the short term. The two governments of the North and the South restrain each other. , and will be offset by a lot. But Japan is united and united as one. They can use the power of the whole country to seize the Northeast, but we have no way to use the power of the whole country to defend the Northeast! So the Northeast War cannot be won quickly. The only way to consume the strength of the Japanese army is to fight for a long time... Their land is small and their resources are poor, and they are now being sanctioned by most of the international powers. I believe it will collapse within a few years, and the Northeast will still be ours by then. But In a short period of time, neither your party, the Northeast Army, nor us can defeat them. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to put this nail in the throat of Shanhaiguan."

This slightly pessimistic prediction made Zhu De's eyebrows twitch tightly.Although the CCP in this time and space also knows that Japan is strong, it has never valued them as much as it did in history.

Luo Yaoguo smiled lightly, but his tone was still low: "Now if we don't talk about peaceful reunification and unanimous nonsense with the outside world. Just talking about the battle in western Liaoning, I think there is still something we can do. What is the purpose of our fighting with the Japanese in western Liaoning? It’s not a quick victory to retake the Northeast. This is unrealistic at the moment. The purpose of our war in western Liaoning is actually to consume the Japanese army and turn western Liaoning into a bleeding wound for the Japanese. To put it bluntly, it is to kill the Japanese! Kill more More Japanese! At the same time, we need to reduce the number of dead. Similarly, the purpose of Japan’s attack on Jinzhou is not only to capture Jinzhou, but to destroy our vital forces!”

"...From this point of view, it doesn't make any difference whether the main battlefield of this battle is in Jinzhou or Huludao. The reason why Jinzhou was defended before is because there is a danger to defend, and this danger is the Daling River But now that the Daling River is about to freeze, it will be a piece of flat land by then. How can the Northeast Army defend the 50-kilometer-plus frontage? Huludao is different here. Although it is also flat, it is only ten kilometers wide. Now we have built a solid trench defense zone on the Tashan line and the mountains on the northwest sides. The Bohai Bay in the south is also blocked by our navy with mines and submarines. Such a strong fortification The fortress is stuck in the Liaoxi Corridor...Can the Japanese ignore it?"

"...When the time comes, we will stick to Huludao, and you will look for fighter opportunities in the mountains of western Liaoning. The Northeast Army will retreat to Xingcheng, Suizhong, and Jianchang to guard the rear of Huludao. With the cooperation of the three parties, Huludao will definitely become the Japanese Empire. The nightmare of communism!"

At this time, Luo Yaoguo came up with a rather tempting battle plan, turning a battlefield along the Daling River in Jinzhou into a total of three battlefields, including the Huludao Fortress, the mountainous area in western Liaoning, and Xingcheng, Suizhong, and Jianchang. .That is to say, the dilemma of mutual defense and mutual restraint was eliminated, and three considerable freedoms of action were given. The most important thing is that the CCP and the Northeast Army were not required to fight against the Japanese...

Guo Songling breathed a sigh of relief, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face: "This is a good idea, and our Northeast Army fully agrees!"

Luo Yaoguo smiled faintly and looked at Zhu De: "Commander Zhu, what do you think?"

Zhu De took a deep breath: "Since the Northeast Army agrees with this plan, our Communist Party has no reason not to agree. It's just that when can the Jinzhou Daling River line be abandoned?"

Luo Yaoguo smiled and waved his hands: "It's up to the two of you to decide. We just have to stick to Huludao... As long as this nail is stuck in the throat of the Japanese army, they won't have much freedom to use their troops to fight."

Chapter 0526

In mid-November, [-] AD.

In the Songbei Camp in Harbin, the recruits of the brigade are changing into the winter clothes of the Anti-Union standard.It's the kind of old khaki-colored padded jacket that looks a bit fat, and wears a rough dog fur hat.Although it looks a bit bloated after wearing it, tens of thousands of people are so neatly dressed and standing on the playground, there is still a chilling air.

These recruits were all recruited by the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces in various ways.From Luo Yaoguo's point of view, his quality is quite good.According to the Chinese tradition, good iron does not make nails, and good men do not serve as soldiers.But it was the troubled times of the Republic of China, and every time the Japanese invaded.Let's take a look at the countless military leaders who have made their fortunes through military exploits in recent decades and have made great achievements.These young men from the Kanto region were dragged into the Songbei Camp by Yang Yuting's Heilongjiang Provincial Government without much effort.

These Guandong children are all strong and tall, and they are a lot bigger than the southern officers and soldiers who make up the majority of the National Revolutionary Army.It's just that the level of education is slightly lower. Naturally, these children who have entered the Guandong will not be of that kind of scholarly family. Besides, the educational foundation in the Northeast is relatively poor.Not to mention these soldiers, even the students in the Northeast Lecture Hall a few years ago, many of them could not read many big characters.

The 24 recruits here are completely organized into [-] recruit regiments.Some of the officers were drawn from various units of the Southern National Revolutionary Army, and some of them were "marginal people" who were separated from the officers of Huangpu's direct line.There are also elites who have received good military education overseas!For example, Major General Sun Liren who is currently following Luo Yaoguo and Chen Cheng to inspect the training of recruits.Now he is the chief of staff of the Third Army of the Anti-Japanese Army and the chief education officer of the non-commissioned officer school.

In the plan submitted by Chen Cheng, the recruit training will be completed within two months.The three armies of the Anti-Union Army can officially become an army and conduct military skills training.In addition to special arms such as artillery and cavalry, the infantry regiments will be a fully usable combat force after six months. The 24 new regiments can just form the 24 regiments of the two armies, six divisions and four brigades of the Anti-Japanese Army.

The vision is beautiful, but the previous training is more difficult.According to the most optimistic forecast, after the beginning of next spring, the Japanese will launch a large-scale offensive against North Manchuria.At that time, waiting for this newly formed army will be the cruelest test of war!Either become an elite soldier in all battles across the white mountains and black waters, or be like the Anti-Japanese War in history...

Senior officers, including Chen Mingren and Du Yuming, the two commanders who had booked the Fifth and Sixth Armies of the Anti-Japanese Army, have now personally descended to the army.Participate in and supervise recruit training.What the recruits ask to do, they must first do it, and they must do it better!In the face of discipline, they are treated equally.Some people failed to complete the training or violated discipline, but they were beaten with military sticks to the point of staring at their eyes!This is a reactionary army, and there is no rule against corporal punishment!

Under this kind of harsh training, in just ten days, these recruits have already taken the shape of some elite divisions at first glance.

"Not bad, not bad. It's only been a while, and the team has already taken shape." After wandering around the big playground of Songbei Camp for a while, Luo Yaoguo's always serious face finally showed a smile.He turned around and smiled at Chen Cheng: "Brother Cixiu, this burden is not light! You have done a good job, really good. Can this army...can go to the battlefield in three months?"

Chen Cheng was taken aback when he heard the words, and his eyebrows that had just been stretched were furrowed tightly again: "Three months later, it will be the coldest season in Northeast China, the Japanese should not be able to..."

Luo Yaoguo smiled, and turned his attention to Sun Liren who was at the side: "Brother Zhongneng, what do you think?"

Sun Liren frowned, and counted with his fingers: "Right now is the time when the rivers and rivers in the Northeast begin to freeze... the dangerous Daling River will become a thoroughfare by mid-December at the latest. No accidents. If so, the Japanese should be able to defeat Zhang Xueliang's 20 army within a month! At that time, it will take half a month to rest and mobilize, and in February, when the Songhua River has not yet thawed, they will launch an attack on North Manchuria... Although the time A little nervous, but not impossible."

Luo Yaoguo shook his head: "The Battle of Jinzhou has been decided to give up, and the battlefield will be moved to around Huludao. Although our army will certainly be able to hold on, it is not ruled out that the Japanese army will confront us on the front line of Jinzhou and Liaoxi after a long period of invincibility. For North Manchuria." He took a deep breath and said, "The training time for new recruits is shortened to one month, and the queues are just passable. Military training should start earlier. Also, the requirements and intensity of training should be lowered as appropriate. You can’t use the standard of the National Revolutionary Army to practice. That’s too long and consumes too much. You don’t have logistics here. The strength is small and easy to practice, so recruits can only shoot fifty rounds at the target."

Chen Cheng hesitated for a moment, and his voice was hesitant: "Brother Fuwen, I'm afraid such a soldier will be cannon fodder after training?"

Luo Yaoguo smiled and waved his hands: "Whether it is cannon fodder or not depends on how it is used. Your mission in North Manchuria is not to defend the territory, but to maintain the war situation. Use protracted warfare to consume Japan's national power and at the same time attract the attention of the Communist Party. So defend Harbin is not necessary, the last line of defense of the Anti-Japanese League should be Daxing'anling."

Chen Cheng and Sun Liren looked at each other, and found themselves dumbfounded.The situation in the Northeast doesn't look so bad, does it?

Chen Cheng forced a smile, and tried his best to calm down his voice: "Is it difficult to negotiate with the Communist Party? They don't allow our main force to go north to recover the northeast, so we can only..."

Luo Yaoguo still smiled: "They allow our main force to go north, do we dare to hand over our backs to them? Our beautiful country is too tempting."

Both Chen Cheng and Sun Liren nodded silently, and didn't say anything more.Luo Yaoguo raised his head, looking in the direction of Jinzhou in the south with a little ecstasy.

……

"Assistant Commander, according to this arrangement, can Jinzhou still defend? Should I give up Jinzhou and directly defend Huludao? Huludao is easier to defend from the terrain."

In the conference room of the Songbei Camp there was a military map of Northeast China. Lin Yurong, who had just arrived with Wang Zhongyi, was staring at the western Liaoning area on the map.

"That's my idea too." Luo Yaoguo stroked his newly grown mustache, smiled and said, "I don't see any hope of defending Jinzhou right now. The Northeast Army, the Communist Party, and us don't trust each other and are wary of each other." That’s right. With all your strength, you only have five points at most to fight against the enemy, and you still have five points to defend your allies. If you take a step back and go to the front line of Huludao, there may be some hope.”

"What if the Communist Party and the Northeast Army retreat again? If Huludao's retreat is cut off, how will the logistics be solved?" Lin Yurong shook his head: "Why can't the mountains in western Liaoning and Jinzhou be kept alive? How long can they last with just an isolated fortress? If they can't hold on, Our North Manchuria will be alone and helpless."

Luo Yaoguo stretched out his finger and stroked the Bohai Bay lightly, and said with a smile: "By sea. The port facilities in Huludao are good, and it is also the home port of the Northeast Army Navy. The General Staff and the Naval Staff Bureau have repeatedly studied the Bohai Bay combat plan." , using submarines, mines, planes, and torpedo boats to block the entrance of the Bohai Bay to prevent large Japanese surface ships from entering. The Bohai Bay is dominated by the Navy of the National Revolutionary Army. With the support of the Navy, the Huludao Fortress will definitely be able to hold on , so you North Manchuria will not be isolated." He looked up at Wang Zhongyi and Lin Yurong, smiled and said: "But when the Japanese army repulses the Northeast Army and the Communist Army, your hard days will come soon! Are you ready?"

Wang Zhongyi nodded heavily, and slapped the map: "It's all done, and important materials have begun to be transferred to Hailar one after another. There are many facilities left by the Northeast Frontier Army there, and we can use them after expansion. We transported them from Mongolia. The weapons and ammunition that came are also stored there. To the east of Hailar is the Great Khingan Mountains that can be guarded, and not far to the southwest is Mongolia, which can be attacked or retreated. If Harbin cannot be kept, the headquarters of our Anti-Japanese Federation will go there.”

Luo Yaoguo nodded: "What about combat? What are your thoughts on this?"

Hearing this question, Wang Zhongyi looked back at Lin Yurong.Ever since the victory in Buhai Town, Lin Yurong has become a military expert of the Anti-Japanese Alliance...

"Auxiliary Commander, now our task is to expand the army. The young and strong in the Northeast, the officers and soldiers of the Northeast Army scattered, and the beards entrenched in the mountains and forests everywhere. As long as they are willing to join our Anti-League, anyone who comes will not be rejected. Our Anti-Alliance here is no better than the Southern National Revolutionary Army. , Don’t talk about quality, but quantity. After more than a month of expansion, the total strength of our Anti-Japanese Alliance is now close to 25! Among them, the first army has expanded to 5, and the second army has nearly 30. Because the Three Army Corps is a newly formed unit with no foundation, its strength is a bit small, but there are still more than [-]. If the Japanese army goes north in three months, our total strength will definitely exceed [-]!"

When it came to 30, Lin Yurong showed a bright smile on his face. Given that he is only in his 20s, to be able to become the chief of staff of such a large army cannot but be said to be favored by Goddess of Destiny.He stretched out his finger and stroked the Daxing'an Mountains on the map, and said with a smile: "The Japanese army is going north, and if we don't fight against them, we won't be able to fight. At that time, our troops will be divided into two groups, and the second and third armies will retreat all the way. The Great Khingan Mountains, relying on the dangers to stick to it. The First Army is another route, marching southward along the Great Khingan Mountains to Jilin, and knocking down the rear of the Japanese army! The enemy is forced to divide and return to help, and we have the opportunity to use mobile warfare to find opportunities to wipe out the enemy."

"Okay!" Luo Yaoguo couldn't help but clapped his hands: "Yu Rong is indeed a genius in using soldiers, and used mobile warfare to fight against the Japanese... Judging from the situation of the battle in Buhai Town, the first army of the Anti-Union Army and the Japanese army The ratio of combat power should be around 2:1. If one hundred thousand troops can be trained to this level, it will be enough to become fifty thousand Japanese troops... It should still be possible to eat half of their divisions at once!"

……

At the same time that the anti-union armed forces in North Manchuria were rapidly expanding, in the Changbai Mountain area of ​​​​Northeast Jilin Province, a long blue-gray marching team was rolling forward in a silvery white.This is a fairly capable army, and it does not carry cannons or much supplies. There are only thousands of infantrymen wearing heavy winter clothes and dog fur warm hats, braving the wind and snow, advancing with difficulty on the frozen official road.

They are the elite troops of the CCP who were ordered to go east to Changbai Mountain to open up an anti-Japanese base area behind the enemy. After more than ten days of hard marching and fighting, this elite army finally broke through several blockade lines of the enemy, got rid of the trailing Japanese railway garrison, and successfully broke through. Arrived at the Changbai Mountains at the junction of China and the Soviet Union.

Zhang Guotao and Ye Ting were both riding horses and marching in the middle of the team. They also wore the same attire as ordinary soldiers, except that they had an extra windproof cloak for cavalry.

Looking at the surrounding snowy scenery and a piece of chilling mountain wasteland, Zhang Guotao couldn't help but sighed bitterly again.He was originally a political commissar of the third army!He is the leader of the 10,000+ army, and his status in the party is only second to a few Politburo members, belonging to the second group.But I never imagined that now I would bring thousands of people to such an inaccessible barren mountain to open up some anti-Japanese bases behind the enemy lines!It's really unlucky... But speaking of it, the current situation is not the most unlucky. Zhou Enlai arranged for him to avoid the limelight because of his past affection. According to Wang Ming's wishes, he had to use himself as a model and beat him up. Become the leader of the "Northern Party", and it is impossible to pull him to shoot.

Hearing Zhang Guotao's sigh, Ye Ting just smiled wryly: "Brother Teli, this time we are in the same boat, thanks to that Wang Zhongyi of Beiman!"

Zhang Guotao looked around and saw that they were all old people from his Fourth Front Army and the Northeast, so he let out a sigh of relief: "Oh...that Wang Zhongyi has implicated so many comrades, and he is still a member of the Politburo. It couldn't be more absurd! Besides...it was Wang Ming who went to meet Wang Zhongyi in Daxing'an Mountains, and he was also the one who absorbed him into the Communist Party, and now he is the one who arrests the 'Wang Zhongyi elements'! In this world..." He shook Shaking his head, he let out another long sigh: "I don't mention the past, that's because I'm sorry for you, now everyone is reduced to the bottom of the world, brother Xiyi, where do we think we should develop next?"

Ye Ting looked at the vast white Changbai Mountain, and frowned: "Comrade Teli, now we have to march towards Yanji County, and after taking down Yanji County, we will be able to get the supplies we need, and then we will send people to the opposite Soviet territory Contact the Soviet Red Army. As long as we get their support, the situation should be opened."

Chapter 0527 fierce troops in western Liaoning (a) pocket array?

The heavy snow on both sides of the Daling River was so heavy that it almost completely covered the positions held by the Chinese and Japanese armies on both sides of the river for nearly two months.Standing in the forward command post on the top of Little Bauhinia Mountain, looking down, all I could see was a piece of whiteness, and there was no movement in the Japanese camp opposite, as if the war had ended.But Luo Yaoguo, who was standing inside today, clearly felt the murderous aura coming from the opposite bank!This is the tranquility that only comes before the war.

"Brother Hanqing, Commander-in-Chief Zhu, have all your troops been withdrawn?" It seemed that no ghost was found for a long time, so Luo Yaoguo had no choice but to put down the binoculars and asked about the situation of the two "partners" around him.The CCP and the Northeast Army seemed very happy to be able to leave the front line where they had been fighting the Japanese for two months.Unexpectedly, at the same time, he expressed his willingness to accept the unified command and dispatch of the "Joint Command".So Luo Yaoguo simply moved the headquarters from Jinan to Huludao.And he dared to come to inspect Zhang Xueliang's position with courage.
