Glorious Mission 1937

()Chapter 150: People from the CCP

"Nani, the Kwantung Army?" Emperor Hirohito asked in surprise, he didn't expect this matter to be so serious that the Kwantung Army needed to be used.

"Hayi, Your Majesty, the 61st Army of China has become a reality, and its threat to the Great Japanese Empire has reached or even surpassed that of warlords such as Yan Xishan and Han Fuqu. Now the Chinese government has joined hands with warlords such as Yan Xishan to launch an attack on the Imperial Army's Northern China Front Army For the attack, the strength of the North China Front Army is very difficult to counteract the joint attack of these forces in China, so there must be an external force to intervene, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous." Bin Shanyuan said.

"External forces intervene? Then why can't the Mongolian army be stationed in Mongolia? Why must it be the Kwantung Army? You must know what the main mission of the Kwantung Army is. Not only is there a large number of resisters in Manchuria, but the red Soviet Union is also ready to move. Once The Kwantung Army went south, and the Soviet Union took this opportunity to launch an attack on Manchuria, and the consequences are simply unbearable for the current empire." Emperor Hirohito said.

"Your Majesty, the garrison in Mongolia has been hit hard one after another. Although the Fourth Division has joined, no one can guarantee the combat effectiveness of the Fourth Division. Moreover, the main force of the No. 20 Sixth Division, the Kuroda Brigade, was hit hard not long ago. Coupled with the fact that the newly occupied areas such as Guisui and Baotou are not yet stable, it may be difficult to deploy troops to reinforce Beiping. More importantly, there are many counties and districts of the 61st Army between the Mongolian Army and Beiping. It may be too late to arrive in Peiping. However, the Kwantung Army is different. The railway line between Guanwai and Peiping can fully meet the transportation of troops. In addition, the combat effectiveness of the Kwantung Army can fully guarantee the success rate of this rescue. And I think it will take a short time Transferring one or two divisions internally will not affect the overall situation in Manchuria. Besides, the Red Soviet Union is busy dealing with internal traitors and has no energy to intervene in external wars. This is the best way to reinforce Beiping. The only way." Bin Shanyuan said loudly.

"Yo Xi, what Lu Xiang said is very reasonable, can the Kwantung Army arrive at Peiping within four days?".Emperor Hirohito said.

"No, if the Kwantung Army is dispatched to the south to reinforce Beiping, it will take at least a week. The main reason is that it will take more than three days for the troops to assemble, and then it will take three days at the fastest to get from outside the Guandong to Peiping, so it will take a conservative estimate. Three days." Bin Shanyuan said.

"Isn't Beiping City able to last up to four days?".Emperor Hirohito asked suspiciously.But he knew that Lu Xiangbin and Shanyuan would not make such a pediatric mistake.There must be some truth in saying this.

"Returning to Your Majesty, in order to solve the crisis in Beiping, in addition to the intervention of external forces, it is also necessary to strengthen internal strength. Now Beiping City has been surrounded by the Chinese army, and several nearby troops have also been pinned down by other Chinese troops. So short I'm afraid we won't be able to reinforce Beiping within a short period of time. Whether we can wait for the reinforcements now depends on whether Shouichi and the others in the temple can persist until the arrival of the reinforcements. As far as I know, the regular troops in the city have already lost all their casualties. It can also withstand three or two days, and it will not exceed four days at most. Therefore, the strength of the troops in Beiping City must be strengthened as soon as possible." Bin Shanyuan said.

"How to enhance it?"

"paratrooper"

"paratrooper?"

"Now only the paratroopers can drop into the city of Beiping in a short period of time. There is no other way, and the airborne must be carried out at night." Bin Shanyuan said.

"Why must it be airborne at night?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, Suzuki Minuiko from the intelligence department sneaked into the 61st Army of China and obtained a lot of useful information. One of the most important pieces of information was about the weapons and equipment of the 61st Army of China. An air defense brigade, this brigade is equipped with a high-performance high-speed machine gun. The temporary aviation regiment of the North China Front Army has suffered a lot from this air defense brigade during this period. It has been shot down since August 12. There are more than 8 fighter planes, so if it is airborne during the day, the loss of the paratroopers and the transport aircraft formation may not be small, so it is best to airborne at night." Bin Shanyuan explained loudly.

Emperor Hirohito was silent for a while. He knew about the paratroopers of the imperial army. It has been formed for less than a year now and has not yet formed combat effectiveness.Despite the training by German instructors, the performance of the paratroopers is still very bad. Even the daily training often results in injuries and even deaths.Moreover, there is only one brigade in strength, and the airborne operation in Beiping is really a test for the paratroopers.

General Binshan Yuan knew what Emperor Hirohito was worried about, so he said again: "Your Majesty, this is the only chance to rescue Peiping. We have to proceed no matter how big the risk is, because we have no other way."

"Yo Xi, this matter will be left to Prime Minister Lu, and I will fully support you." Emperor Hirohito said

When Emperor Hirohito held the imperial meeting, Chen Feng welcomed people from the government.In fact, Chen Feng was also looking forward to the CCP sending that great god to talk with him, but when he saw the two people in front of him, Chen Feng was still a little depressed. The reason was that he didn’t know anyone. Could it be that the CCP just sent two people? An unknown little ghost came to have a meeting with him?Isn't this too much to treat bean buns as dry food?

But after these two people finished introducing themselves, Chen Feng knew that he was wrong. The two in front of him were not the brats in his imagination, but real masters.The older one said that his name was Li Yunchang, and he was secretary of the Rehe Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China.Another young man introduced himself as Yao Yilin, who is currently Secretary-General of the Hebei Provincial Party Committee, Director of the Propaganda Department and Secretary of the Tianjin Municipal Party Committee.

Nima, it's these two great gods, but because of my clumsy eyesight, I didn't recognize these two when they were young.This Li Yunchang was originally named Li Fangqi.A native of Muguakou Village, Hujiatuo Town, Leting County, Hebei Province, he studied in Leting Middle School in his early years and participated in the student patriotic movement. In October 1925, he went to Guangzhou and was admitted to the fourth phase of Whampoa Military Academy.In the same month, he became a member of the Communist Party. In May 10, he served as the party representative of the second regiment of the Guangdong Huichaomei Peasant Workers Salvation Army, and led his troops to Rucheng, Hunan Province to resist the rebellion of the Kuomintang right wing, which failed in the autumn of the same year. Since December, he has successively served as the Secretary of the Leting County Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Secretary of the Luan (County) Le (Ting) Center County Committee, leading the restoration of the local party organization.

During the Anti-Japanese War, he successively served as Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the East Hebei Anti-Japanese Coalition Army and Commander-in-Chief of the Second Route Army, Commander of the 13th Detachment of the Eighth Route Army, Secretary of the Hebei Rebian Special Committee of the Communist Party of China and Director of the Administrative Office, and Commander of the 13th Army Division of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region He also served as political commissar, secretary of the Party Committee of Jireliao District, commander and political commissar of Jireliao Military Region, member of Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Central Bureau, and led the establishment of Jireliao Anti-Japanese Base Area. From 1945 to 1948, he successively served as the Second Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Northeast People's Autonomous Army, the Second Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Northeast Minzhu Allied Forces, a member of the Hebei-Chahar-Liaoning Central Bureau, Secretary of the Rehe Provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the Rehe Provincial Government, Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Hebei-Chahar-Liaoning Military Area Command, Director of the Hebei-Chahar-Liaoning Administrative Office, etc.After the founding of New China, he successively served as Secretary of the Party Leadership Group and Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Communications, and a full-time member of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.

The other young one was even worse, Yao Yilin, born in 1917, from Guichi, Anhui. He was admitted to Tsinghua University in 1934 and joined the Chinese National Armed Self-Defense Association, a peripheral organization of the Chinese Communist Party. Joined the Communist Party of China in 1935.During the 1936th Movement, he served as the Secretary-General of the Peking City Students' Federation and the Party Secretary of the Communist Party of China. In May 5, he was transferred to work in Tianjin, first as an editor of the party's publication "The Great Wall", and later as the Propaganda Director of the Tianjin Municipal Party Committee.After the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, he served as Secretary-General of the Hebei Provincial Party Committee, Director of the Propaganda Department and Secretary of the Tianjin Municipal Party Committee.But after the founding of the People's Republic of China, this person finally became the Vice Premier of the State Council, and his achievements were not generally high.

"Welcome, welcome. On behalf of all the officers and men of the 61st Army, I welcome you two!" After knowing who these two gods were, Chen Feng naturally would not neglect them, and said with a smile.

"Commander Chen, you are being polite. Commander Chen has always kept in mind the help of the Eighth Route Army of the Communist Party. Before coming here, the Chairman, Vice Chairman Zhou, and Commander-in-Chief Zhu asked them to say hello to Commander Chen." Li Yunchang said.

"Hehehe, it's easy to talk about. Is the Kuomintang and the Communist Party cooperating now? Helping you is also a matter of duty. This time I let you come here to discuss with you a few things. The first is to hope that your party will do its best to mobilize the citizens of Tianjin to help us. The second is to organize personnel to distribute food and winter supplies to ordinary citizens in the city. Third, our army will hand over a batch of more than [-] tons of supplies to your department and transfer them to your party. supplies, but since our army is also busy rushing to transport supplies, how to transport them back to your anti-Japanese base areas depends on your own ability." Chen Feng said straight to the point.

"[-] tons, Commander Chen, is what you said true?" Li Yunchang said excitedly. Due to the extreme shortage of supplies, the development of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army has been seriously affected. All the problems that plagued the development of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army will be solved.

“当然是真的了，这次交给贵党的物资中包括1000吨粮食、1000吨布匹棉花、3万件ri军军装、各种步枪28000支、机枪770挺、手榴弹10000枚、掷弹筒100具以及各种弹药800吨、食盐50吨、食用油20吨、肉类20吨、纸张20吨以及其它生活物资4000多吨。”说完陈锋将一张清单递到了李云昌手里。

Li Yunchang couldn't believe his eyes, not to mention the food and cloth, the big city of Tianjin certainly doesn't lack these things, and they have been active in the Beijing-Tianjin area for a long time, knowing that Tianjin has a large grain depot for the Japanese army, There are at least 3 tons of grain stockpiled there.In addition, there are at least 50 Japanese companies engaged in the cotton textile industry in Tianjin, and there must be no shortage of cotton cloth.But Li Yunchang and Yao Yilin never expected that Chen Feng would give them so many weapons and equipment. From the point of view of quantity alone, at least 3 infantry divisions could be equipped, even if it was enough to change the equipment of the entire Eighth Route Army. (to be continued...)
