"Haha, we won! Xiao Takako was beaten away!"

"Long live the chief seat!"

"Long live the Tiger Army!"

"Down with Japanese imperialism!"

After receiving the news of victory, the military and civilians on the Shandong Peninsula were naturally cheering, filled with happiness and excitement. Countless military and civilians spontaneously rushed to the streets to sing and dance, set off firecrackers, ring gongs and drums, and sang songs.

Of course, in the deep festive and excitement, there is no shortage of pain and grief. Many of them have mourning halls and mourning clothes at home, and the atmosphere is extremely depressing.

Although he won a great victory in this battle, he wiped out more than 10,000 enemies in total, but he also paid a considerable price of casualties.

Among them, 875 people were killed in the Chinese Tiger Army, more than 2,600 people were killed in the Third Detachment, and more than 1,600 people were killed in the people, and more than 5,000 people were killed in the total!

In other words, thousands of families suffer from the pain of separation from life and death, and white-haired people send black-haired people!

To promote production, we must be strong with both hands. Under the strong operation of various departments, the Huben Military Defense Zone quickly started post-war reconstruction work, and all counties and cities gradually restored normal living and production order.

The fierce war came to an abrupt end, and the clouds of war on the Shandong Peninsula disappeared instantly, and the soldiers and civilians on the Shandong Peninsula ushered in a long-lost peace and tranquility.

However, not everyone will like to hear such a happy and fulfilling situation.

Study room on the second floor of Huangshan Villa in Chongqing.

Dai Li reported very respectfully: "Commissioner, an emergency telegram was sent from Shandong Jinan Intelligence Station. The Japanese army had stopped the offensive yesterday morning, and there was a continued large-scale retreat."

"oh?"

Chairman Jiang raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Has the Japanese army retreated on the entire line?"

Dai Li nodded and said, "That's true. The day before yesterday, Yang Fan dispatched a large number of bombers to destroy the Japanese Zhangzhuang Airport and Baitawa Airport, severely damaged the Japanese heavy artillery brigade, destroyed the ground radar station, and carried out large-scale bombing of the Japanese front-line troops.

Most of the Japanese were beaten and hurt. Shandong Peninsula entered a confrontation again. There is probably no large-scale military battle in the short term."

Hearing this, Chairman Jiang slapped the table in disappointment and said, "My mother, these Japanese devils are really a group of people who bully the weak and fear the strong!

After mobilizing all the troops to make such a big battle, they only fought for half a month, and they ended up in a hurry before they could fight. Isn’t this a joke!”

A few days ago, I heard the Japanese and Hu Ben Army fighting to the death, especially the unprecedentedly large-scale air battle. Chairman Jiang was extremely happy and hoped that he would continue not to stop every day, and it would be best to turn the world upside down.

However, in just a few days, the Japanese troops took the initiative to admit defeat again, and did not reach the best state of losing both sides.

Dai Li continued: "Bizhi believes that the main reason is that the Japanese cannot obtain air supremacy, and the Air Force of the Hu Ben Army poses too great a threat to the Japanese Army.

It was difficult for the Japanese to attack the defense line of the Hu Ben Army, and with the sharp sword hanging above their heads, it is not difficult to understand that they stopped the offensive and gave up their strategic intentions."

Chairman Jiang nodded and said, "Yes, modern war air supremacy is really important. If we suffer losses, we will suffer in this regard, especially the Battle of Songhu, the Battle of Xuzhou and other battles in the early stages of the War of Resistance Against Japan. Otherwise, it would be the current situation.

Now the Party-China Air Force has finally recovered its vitality, but this is far from enough. It is necessary to further strengthen the strength of the air force."

"The principal is wise!"

Zhang Zhi, who was sitting next to him, flattered him a little, and then said:

"A few days ago, the Japanese took the initiative to hold peace talks with us. The purpose was to concentrate their efforts to solve the major problems. Now the Japanese gave up halfway and took the initiative to withdraw their troops and re-enforce the siege strategy against the Shandong Peninsula.

Although the main factor here is the strong military strength and tenacious combat force of the Hu Ben Army, Hu Zhi believes that Japan has most of its purpose, and is by no means simply retreating."

Chairman Jiang turned his head and asked, "Then tell me, what else is there?"

Zhang Zhizhong answered seriously: "The Japanese are most likely to officially enter Southeast Asia!"

"It is indeed possible! In this case, it is very beneficial to the party and the country, and we can free up our hands to solve internal problems."

Chairman Jiang nodded gently, and the obsession that had been rooted in his heart began to revitalize.

It is the fourth year of the Anti-Japanese War. The Anti-Japanese War has entered a stalemate stage, and the Japanese army has stopped offensives on the front battlefield.

Logically speaking, the frontal military pressure of the National Government has been greatly reduced. As long as the National Government can work hard to govern, know shame and be brave, the situation will only improve day by day. But in fact, China's situation is getting worse and worse.

One of the most direct reasons is that the corruption of the bureaucratic ruling group of the National Government is becoming more and more serious, even worse than before the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan.

Especially in Chongqing, the powerful group was drunk and dreaming, singing every night, and the belief in the War of Resistance and the will to resist the war were constantly eroded, gradually forming a mainstream trend of thought that was in a peaceful corner!

The accompanying capital Chongqing was a scene of a national destruction of "singing the back of the river and singing the back of the courtyard", and the front line of the War of Resistance Against Japan was even worse!

The Japanese government has never stopped peace talks with the National Government since its full invasion of China. Of course, peace talks are just an illusion, but the Japanese devils' real intention is to induce surrender to the National Government!

After many efforts and testing, the Japanese government no longer had expectations for Chairman Chiang, but the opponents of senior Kuomintang officials who held great power and senior Kuomintang generals who held heavy troops on the front line never stopped.

In order to induce and reduce these important goals, the Japanese government has really spared no effort and tried all kinds of tricks.

At this moment, the National Government cooperated very well with the theory of "curve the country in a row". From the second half of 1938, senior generals led the enemy one after another.

In the second half of 39, a climax of treason and surrendering to the enemy was formed. He Xingjian, deputy commander of the Zhongyi National Saving Army, and Cai Xiongfei, deputy commander of the Jinsui Army, all surrendered to the enemy at this time. Following them, hundreds of thousands of national troops were also surrendered to the enemy!

This large-scale treason and surrender to the enemy was undoubtedly an unprecedented blow to the morale of the military, so that from the end of 39 to the beginning of 40, the entire situation and atmosphere of the War of Resistance Against Japan were extremely depressing and pessimistic.

At the same time, the National Government's fiscal revenue has dropped sharply, but various expenses have increased dramatically. Finance has become increasingly difficult. All local external ports were occupied by the Japanese army. The National Government can be said to be internal and external troubles and life is extremely difficult.

If it were not for the Myanmar highway opening, the United States approved tung oil loans, and the strong funding provided by Yang Fan, and other external intervention, the National Government would probably have become more isolated and helpless, and even more serious treasons will be surrendered to the enemy.

At this critical moment of survival of the nation, as the supreme leader of the Chinese Government, Chairman Jiang should make up his mind to rectify the history and governance of the officialdom with great perseverance and courage, rectify the military discipline and style of the troops, and regroup the hearts of the army and the people.
