Chapter 175 Songhu Battle IV

The Japanese army's selflessness will never die..

com This time, I will definitely not give up the opportunity to occupy the wealthy areas of East China, and easily retreat the Japanese army entrenched in Shanghai. Instead, I will risk landing from the Hangzhou Bay area and launch a fatal blow to the Kuomintang army.

Therefore, the best time for our army to attack is when the Japanese army landed in Hangzhou Bay and attempted to launch a fatal blow to the Kuomintang army.

At that time, after a great war, the Kuomintang army had suffered heavy losses and must have realized that its own strength could not completely wipe out the Japanese army in the Songhu area.

At the same time, we will definitely realize that if the Japanese army successfully landed in the Hangzhou Bay area, the rear side of the troops participating in the Battle of Songhu will be completely exposed to the fierce attack of the Japanese army.

If so, the Kuomintang army would have to be defeated in a complete way. Therefore, if our army suddenly encircled and annihilated the Japanese army when they had just landed and had not yet established a stable foothold, it would not only save the Kuomintang army and avoid its full defeat, but also be the best time to encircle and annihilate the Japanese army. If it could annihilate the Japanese landing troops in one fell swoop and cut off the idea of ​​controlling East China.

Our army then led our troops northward to capture the Japanese army in Shanghai. Then, the Japanese army in the Songhu area would either be completely wiped out by our army, or they would have to retreat the remaining troops back to the country. From then on, Japan would definitely not dare to spy on our country easily, in exchange for a rare opportunity for peaceful development in exchange for our country.

After the Japanese army invaded our East China region, our party and our army's prestige will naturally reach unprecedented heights.

At that time, it was time for our party and our army to completely take the unified command of the ** team.

If the Kuomintang's separatist rule over East China can be completely solved before the end of 1937, then with the whole country's chess game, unified deployment and unified development, the Chinese nation will usher in a comprehensive development.

The combat meeting on the Battle of Songhu was discussed until the evening. At the end of the meeting, Xun Huaizhou, the Chief of Staff, was instructed to formulate a detailed combat plan for our army to participate in the Battle of Songhu, and then submit it to the Military Commission for discussion and approval before implementation.

After the meeting, Xun Huaizhou smiled and begged for food with the Chairman. It made the Chairman laugh and scolded Xun Huaizhou for being raving. In the end, it was the Prime Minister who invited everyone to go to the canteen of the People's Liberation Army Headquarters to have a meal, and everyone had a good meal.

At night, Xun Huaizhou was taken home by the chairman and had a secret talk all night. The content of the talks was naturally unaware of outsiders.

The next day, Xunhuaizhou plunged into the General Staff’s combat room and began to think carefully at the huge military sand table in the East China region. At the battle situation chart between the Chinese and Japanese troops that came from the secret channels of the Songhu Front from time to time.

Three days later, Xun Huaizhou walked out of the war room. During these three days, Xun Huaizhou had almost never slept for a minute. Apart from using secret telegrams to communicate with the acting commander of the Third Field Army from time to time, he was almost isolated from the world.

When Xun Huaizhou put the East China Battle Plan that was drafted in the past three days as "Operation Doomsday" before the Chairman, although the plan formulated by the Chairman this time was full of imagination, when he really saw the plan formulated by Xun Huaizhou, he was still shocked by the big work of Xun Huaizhou and the extremely meticulous idea. After discussing with the Chairman again, Xun Huaizhou spent another day adjusting some details of "Operation Doomsday".

Immediately, the Chairman presided over a meeting of the Military Commission on September 14. Although the military commissioners attending the meeting were also shocked by Xun Huaizhou's grand plan, after a huge victory in the Battle of North China, although this "Operation Action" plan seemed imaginative and extremely large in scale, no one doubted the feasibility of this plan.

So, everyone discussed and put forward some revisions based on the details of this plan, and agreed to approve the "Doomsday Action" plan formulated by Xunhuaizhou in principle.

On September 15, the Military Commission officially approved the revised "Operation Action" plan, and secretly ordered the establishment of the East China Battle General Front Committee, with member of the Military Commission, secretary-general of the Military Commission, deputy commander-in-chief of the People's Liberation Army, Xun Huaizhou, chief of staff of the General Front Committee, Lin Shuai, commander of the First Field Army, Nie Rongzhen, political commissar of the First Field Army, commander of the Second Field Army, Liu Bocheng, political commissar of the Second Field Army, Deng Lao, deputy commander of the Third Field Army, acting commander Su Yu, deputy political commissar of the Third Field Army, and acting political commissar Chen Yi as members of the General Front Committee. The General Front Committee unified the command of the East China Battle.

On September 16, the commander of the First Field Army, Lin Shuai and the commander of the Second Field Army, took this "Operation Doomsday" plan, returned to the field army base and began to secretly dispatch troops as planned to prepare for the Doomsday Action Plan.

On September 18, Xun Huaizhou secretly set off from Chongqing and rushed to the headquarters of the Third Field Army in East China and southern Anhui. He began to be fully responsible for leading the implementation of the "Doomsday Action" plan...

In September, the southern foot of Zijin Mountain in the eastern suburbs of Nanjing is lush and green, with a particularly beautiful scenery. After autumn, the weather is particularly clear. Although it is a little warm during the day, it is already a cool breeze when it is cold in the morning and evening.

The presidential residence located in the eastern suburbs seems particularly quiet. A few miles away from the presidential residence, it is already three steps and five steps. Chiang Kai-shek has been staying in the presidential residence these days and has hardly gone out.

Now, Chiang Kai-shek is sitting behind his desk on the second floor of his villa in Dongsu, Nanjing, with a dark face and an extremely cold expression. The beautiful autumn scenery outside seems to be out of his way.

Just now, He Yingqin came to report on the progress of the Battle of Shanghai, which made Chiang Kai-shek feel extremely annoyed.

Chiang Kai-shek had already been increasingly frustrated in the past two years. In just over two years, the Kuomintang has changed from a Chinese power to a local warlord separatist force that is now in peace.

Moreover, it has become a small force that depends on the expression of others and the breath of others. This makes Chiang Kai-shek really unwilling to accept it. However, what's the use of him even if he is unwilling to accept it? Judging from the powerful power shown by the People's Liberation Army in the Battle of North China, if he had to move himself in the past two years, his power would have been swallowed up by others so much that he would not have left any scum.

Over the past year, ** has not taken advantage of his extreme weakness and has taken advantage of his own territory. Instead, he has given himself sincere help and helped him overcome many difficulties.

I think people are very sincere about peace.

But how long can such peace last? At present, because the biggest enemy of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party is the Japanese, if there is no threat from the Japanese, can ** still allow this local force to exist?

Recently, the **PLA annihilated more than 400,000 Japanese troops in North China, and now its status and reputation at home and international level are at its peak.

Not to mention non-party members, even within the Kuomintang, many people have already expressed their hope to give the army to ** for reorganization. The Kuomintang should become a purely political party and cooperate with ** to develop and strengthen the country.

These people didn't know that this was simply delusion. After the Kuomintang lost its last army, could it still allow a purely political party to exist? It's really a dream.

However, even if you try your best to maintain your troops, how long can you last? I think it will be a matter of time before you get wiped out.

Originally, ** was going to discuss with him in April and May that he would attack the Japanese army at the same time in North China and East China. At that time, he was afraid that ** would be drunk in East China, so he did not agree to the People's Liberation Army led by ** to directly send troops to Shanghai.

I had no confidence in the Central Army's independent attack on the Japanese army in Shanghai, so I missed the best opportunity to annihilate the Japanese army in Shanghai in one fell swoop. This made my party lose almost the last political capital while gaining enough political capital in North China.

In the future, if ** send troops to eliminate themselves at any time, it will be difficult to get sympathy and support in public opinion. Therefore, many of their troops will take the initiative to contact and surrender without waiting for the ** army to come.

Therefore, when the Soviet Special Envoy of Stalin came to Nanjing to negotiate with him in August, he thought it was an excellent opportunity. At that time, the Special Envoy of Stalin promised a lot of benefits on behalf of the Soviet Union. The most tempting thing was that if he could send troops to Shanghai in time and attack the Japanese army entrenched in Shanghai and its surrounding areas, the Soviet Union would have ordered ** to live in peace with itself in the name of the Communist International, and not to use force to solve the territory of several provinces controlled by him. At the same time, he also promised a lot of benefits of weapon assistance.

If these two conditions are achieved, you can own East China, the richest region and main source of wealth in China. After several years of development, you can at least ensure the stability of the local government. On this basis, you are waiting for changes in the international situation. If you have the opportunity, you can still compete with **. If you don’t have the opportunity, you will not be a bad thing even if you are guarding a wealthy area and becoming a local force.

In addition, the People's Liberation Army was able to annihilate more than 400,000 Japanese troops in one battle in the Battle of North China, and the troops used were only 900,000. Most of them were reorganized by the Kuomintang army, and the weapons and equipment of most troops could not keep up with the current German equipment of the Kuomintang Central Army.

Moreover, over the past year, I have also focused on the training of the Central Army. The combat power of the Central Army should be no less than that of the People's Liberation Army.
