Chapter 806: Internal and External Troubles

Huangshan Villa in Chongqing.

Chairman Jiang, who was used to getting up early and practicing in the morning, accompanied by He Yao's group, Zhang Zhizhong, Yu Jishi and others, returned to the villa after walking on the mountain trail and turned on the radio in habitually.

At this time, I happened to hear Li Nianxue's soft and painful and proud broadcast: "Our station received the latest news from the Myanmar battlefield,..."

"My mother, she did a pretty job. The evil people will be beaten by the evil people. These little Japanese finally encountered a tough nail again! Yang Fan is really good at fighting. Now I have to see how the Japanese Japanese cut off the Yunnan-Burma Highway!"

Hearing this, Chairman Jiang couldn't help but relax his eyebrows and was in a good mood.

He Yao's group smiled and continued: "Yes, with the Chinese Tiger Army and 300,000 elite Party-state troops stationed in Myanmar, the Japanese government's strategic attempt to completely siege China will be nothing in the end!"

Lin Wei, director of the Military Commission's Attendant Department, was sent to the Myanmar War Theater and promoted to the head of the Chinese Staff Corps in Myanmar of the National Military Commission. He Yaozu, who had just returned from the Soviet Union, took over as director of the Attendant Department.

In addition, He Yaozu also serves as Secretary-General of the Economic Committee of the Executive Yuan of the National Government, Secretary-General of the National General Mobilization Conference, and Director of the Investigation and Statistics Bureau of the Military Commission of the National Government.

Although Dai Li actually controls the Military Control Bureau, he has always been the deputy director, and He Yaozu is the director of the Military Control Bureau and the nominal spy boss of the Military Control Bureau.

He Yao's group has lived in a wealthy family since childhood. He has had the intelligence and wisdom that ordinary people do not often have since childhood. He graduated from the Japanese Army Bachelor's School in his early years, joined the Tongmenghui, and later worked in the Hunan Army.

In the early days of the Northern Expedition, He Yao's group turned against him and supported the Guangdong government and joined the Kuomintang. Because of his ability in doing things, he was promoted to the Director of the General Office of the Military Commission before the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan.

At the end of 1938, He Yao's group was appointed ambassador to the Soviet Union. During his two-year diplomatic career, he witnessed the rapid development of the first socialist country and often contacted senior leaders of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, and his thoughts were affected to a certain extent.

After the mission ended, He Yao's group returned to the capital to report his duties. He was attracted by Chiang Kai-shek and appointed as the director of the attendant's office. He was powerful and respected.

"There is no worries on the battlefield in Myanmar for the time being, but the domestic battlefield has become extremely serious!"

He Yao's team breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The commander of the 11th Japanese Army and the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Expeditionary Army have changed. The strategic intention of the Japanese army to launch the second Changsha offensive is already very obvious.

Moreover, according to intelligence, the Japanese government has formulated a new strategy for war against China, and this time the Japanese army will invest at least four divisions, four detachments, three chariot brigades, a flight division and a naval task force, and the total force will never be less than 130,000!

Its strategic intention is to annihilate the main force and elite forces of the Ninth War Zone!"

Since the United States and Britain decided to take joint actions against the German-Italy and Japanese Axis Alliance, Chairman Chiang was very inspired by the international situation. He declared to the world that no matter how difficult it was, he would unswervingly carry out the War of Resistance to the end.

In response to Chairman Chiang's tough attitude of openly turning to the British and American camps and ignoring Japan's attempt to negotiate separately, on January 6, 1941, Japanese Emperor Hirohito held a special imperial meeting to discuss the strategies of the war of aggression against China again.

This imperial meeting determined three policies: First, continue to launch a forceful attack on China; block the sea, land and air routes, and strictly eliminate the British and American aid to China's war of resistance; Third, adjust the diplomatic relations between Japan and the Soviet Union, use all political and war methods, and weaken the Chongqing government's will to resist the war to make it surrender quickly.

Hearing this, Chairman Jiang also frowned: "I believe in Boling's ability, and I believe that since he can win the first Changsha Battle, he can win the second Changsha Battle!"

Chairman Jiang was very helpless. At present, he was really worried about internal and external troubles. Myanmar transferred 300,000 troops, including the most elite Fifth Army. However, at this time, the Japanese deployed troops and generals in China on a large scale, intending to go south and form a two-sided attack.

Needless to say, the importance of the Yunnan-Burma Highway is also extremely important in China. If the Japanese conquered Changsha, the elite troops in the Ninth War Zone would be severely damaged, and then the large areas of the hinterland of Guangxi and the southwest will be seriously threatened.

He Yao team nodded and agreed: "Well, what Chairman Jiang said is very true. Boling is a tiger general of our army. He will definitely shoulder the heavy responsibility and will never let the commission be disappointed, and will never let the Japanese devils' conspiracy succeed!"

Zhang Zhizhong also nodded and agreed: "Yes, the Japanese are anxious. As long as they deal with it carefully and calmly, they will definitely be able to damage the Japanese invaders again and achieve a brilliant victory!"

At this time, He Yaozu and Zhang Zhizhong could only comfort themselves, hoping to defend Changsha, and then the military aid resources were continuously sent from Myanmar to the country.

Wuhan Japanese Army Headquarters.

The commander of the 11th Japanese Army, Anan Weiki, and the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Expeditionary Army, Hata Shunrok, were sitting cross-legged and having a long conversation face to face.

The Japanese army failed to attack Changsha for the first time, and Okamura Yasuji was so angry that he was restless in bed and food for several days and was in a low mood.

Since then, Okamura Yasuji did not dare to attack Changsha again, and his successors Toume and Ichiro did not continue to attack Changsha. In 1940, he turned to the Fifth War Zone, causing General Zhang Zizhong to become heroic at the pumpkin shop along the Han River.

Then, the 11th Japanese Army captured Yichang, the strategic location of the Sixth War Zone, and gradually regained confidence and once again tentatively attacked the Ninth War Zone.

However, the Japanese army led their troops to advance lightly in the Battle of Shanggao, and the Ogashima Division and the Sakurai Division suffered heavy losses one after another.

The Japanese army reviewed the reasons for the failure of the combat and believed that the commander of the 11th Army, Toshima and Ichiro, should bear the main responsibility, so the 11th Army changed its command again.

Lieutenant General Anan Weiki, a young general who was fanatically loyal to the emperor, resigned as deputy chief of the Army Department. In October 1940, he came to the long-lost China with great ambitions and took over as commander of the 11th Army.

After learning that he was leaving Japan to work for China, Anan Weiji, 43, put two photos in his shirt pocket.

In each photo, there is a young Japanese soldier looking at him with a smile.

The two young men are Anan Weiji's second son and youngest son. The second son died in Northeast China on September 18, 1931 at the age of 21.

The youngest son died on the battlefield in Fengtai, Peking on July 28, 1937, and died at the gun of the fledgling Chinese Hu Ben Army. He was 21 years old all year round!

Anan Weiji put photos of his two sons in his close-fitting top pockets anyway, just to remind himself that this time he came to China, he must do something for his two sons.

However, this old Japanese man who suffered the pain of losing his son one after another never thought about how many heinous crimes his two sons committed in the Chinese kingdom and how many Chinese soldiers and civilians had been slaughtered!
