Glorious Mission 1937

Although Chen Feng didn't like the United States, he couldn't ignore the huge role played by the United States in the entire World War II.Although later generations have different views on the role of the United States in World War II, some deliberately belittle it, such as the Soviet Union.There are also unlimited exaggerations, such as some members of the North Atlantic Organization.

However, Chen Feng disagrees with both sides. The role of the United States in World War II is obvious to all. It cannot be deliberately belittled or exaggerated. It should be evaluated objectively.The United States did play a pivotal role in World War II and made great contributions to defeating Germany and Japan.Of course, the benefits that the United States gained in this war are also obvious. Before World War II, the United States was only a second-rate country with prevailing isolationism, but after World War II, this country suddenly became the number one power in the world. Tens of millions of the Soviet Union have to stay away.

The so-called two superpowers were a saying during the Cold War. In fact, the United States was No. 1 just after the end of World War II. the right to dialogue.Therefore, regardless of whether Chen Feng likes the United States or not, he must handle the relationship with the United States properly.

Americans are quite satisfied with Chen Feng's reply. Although Chen Feng's conditions are somewhat harsh, they are not impossible for the United States. Besides, the main conditions are still focused on the handling of Sino-British relations. After all, China has signed the most unequal treaties. Britain is still the only one. As for France and other countries, that is, there are a few small concessions in several major cities along the coast of China, this is not a problem at all.

Originally, it was very difficult for the British to give up their vested interests.After all, it is not easy for anyone to spit out the fat in their mouths, let alone Britain, which is known as the empire on which the sun never sets.But now, the situation is different, for the precarious British Empire.If it can get support from the United States and Chen Feng's troops, this is a vital part of Britain's survival, so the United States is sure to persuade Britain.

As for not intervening in China's internal affairs, and thoroughly punishing Japanese war criminals including the Japanese imperial family, these are nothing to Americans at all, especially the latter. Killing Americans will not frown.

The only thing that makes the Americans dissatisfied is that Chen Feng is still unwilling to hand over the production technology of penicillin and new fighter jets to the United States after putting forward so many conditions. He cannot control these two technologies that are related to the success or failure of the war in his own hands. .Americans are very mindful.

to this end.US Secretary of State Hurley personally received Yan Changxi at the White House.I hope that Chen Feng can contribute these two technologies. As for what conditions Chen Feng can bring up, the implication is that only Chen Feng can contribute these two technologies.Open any conditions.

After thinking about it, Chen Feng still felt that he couldn't agree to the Americans. The production technology of penicillin is not bad. After all, many countries have made breakthroughs in this research. There will be new ones in two or three years at most, or even a year at most. production technology available.But the new fighters are different, especially the J-5 and J-6 fighters. Many of their advanced concepts were formed after World War II. They are at least five to ten years ahead of the world. In the field of aircraft, what does five to ten years mean?That is the performance of an entire generation of fighters.In any case, the Americans cannot get it. [

Therefore, Chen Feng personally called Roosevelt. The Chen family and the entire Nanyang territory were very willing to cooperate with the United States and its allies, and contribute their own strength in the war against Germany, Italy, and Japan, and their vassal states. Therefore, the Chen family was willing to use penicillin as a drug The company's advanced production technology will become a shareholder to produce this highly effective anti-inflammatory drug in the United States, and the two parties will each hold 50% of the proceeds.As a price, the United States needs to provide comprehensive economic support to the Nanyang Territory, especially in the field of basic industries.

In addition, the new fighter plane is the most important secret of the Chen family, so it will not be provided to any country or force. This is the bottom line of the Chen family. I hope the United States will stop mentioning this matter.

Obtaining the penicillin drug was already an unexpected result, so the Americans quickly signed a comprehensive cooperation agreement with Yan Changxi.

The United States has frequently contacted various forces in China, and at the same time froze all Japanese assets in the United States, which made Japan extremely annoyed.For this reason, the Japanese base camp decided to beat the National Government again.

On October 10, in view of the fact that the Sino-Japanese War was at a stalemate, in order to change the strategic situation, seize the initiative in the war, and resolve the many domestic conflicts caused by the continuation of the war, the Japanese Army Base Camp Army Department made a decision to re-activate the Chinese battlefield. Hata Shunroku, who has "repeatedly made military exploits". On October 18, Hata Shunroku was formally appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Expeditionary Force of the Japanese Invaders, succeeding his predecessor Hisao Nishio, and was responsible for the unified command of the Japanese Invasions' aggression activities.

In fact, Hata Toshiroku knew about this a long time ago, and he handed over the job of Chief of His Majesty's bodyguard to Lieutenant General Xiao He as quickly as possible, and then departed from Tokyo by special plane, and went directly to the General Command of the Chinese Expeditionary Army in Nanjing to take up his post.

This time, Toshiro Hata was promoted to be the commander of the Chinese Expeditionary Force with an important mission. Before coming to Nanjing to take office, Prime Minister Fumma Konoe and Minister Seishiro Itagaki had separate talks with Toshiro Hata. Both important ministers of the empire hoped that Toshiro Hata would take office In the end, we can control the situation as soon as possible, and carry out a sharper blow to Chongqing, forcing the Chinese "government" to succumb.

Therefore, after taking office, Hata Shunroku immediately convened a meeting of the commanders of the two major front armies on the Chinese battlefield and several armies directly under the dispatching army to discuss fighting against China.

After deliberation, all senior officers of the Chinese Dispatch Army Command agreed that to deal with the current Chinese "government", the Chinese "government" must be treated differently from Chen Feng's subordinates.Almost all senior military officers believed that in the North China area, if only the North China Front Army was concerned, although Chen Feng's troops had just fought a large-scale battle with the Soviet Red Army and lost a large number of elite troops, the North China Front Army's The strength is still far inferior to Chen Feng's.

Therefore, the headquarters of the China Expeditionary Army decided that the troops in North China would continue to closely monitor Chen Feng's troops. They would not start a war, but they could not relax their vigilance and be ready to meet Chen Feng's troops at any time.At the same time, the main forces of the 11th Army and the 13th Army directly under the dispatched army were mobilized to attack Changsha again, in order to attack the National Government.So in the headquarters of the Chinese Expeditionary Army in Nanjing, Yan Junliu and others formulated the battle plan for the second Changsha battle, and reported it to the headquarters, requesting approval of the battle plan.

For the Japanese army, the Second Battle of Changsha was a battle in the fierce and turbulent international situation. Its main purpose was to attack the National Government and to find an opportunity to annihilate the vital forces of the Ninth Theater. Force the national "government" that corresponds to the United States internationally to submit.

The new commander-in-chief of the "China Dispatch Force" Hata Shunroku and the new commander of the 11th Army, Anan Keiki, believe that the Empire of Japan completely destroys China's attempt to continue fighting, and completely solving the Chinese problem is Japan's most important task at present. Competing for Southeast Asia, flanking the Soviet Union with the Germans, etc., are all bullshit.

Because no matter whether it is going north or south, troops must be drawn from the Chinese battlefield, and the Chinese battlefield is a difficult bone. The Japanese Empire has not forced the "government" of China to surrender after three years of fighting.At this time, a sudden reduction in the strength of the dispatched army will bring vitality to the "government" in Chongqing.

On October 10, the headquarters of the Japanese army decided to temporarily abandon the use of force against the Soviet Union and the United States, and not to draw troops from China.And approved the Changsha combat plan with Order No. 22 of "Dalu Ming", code-named "Plus Operation".

On the same night, Yan Junliu issued an order that the 11th Army immediately set up a headquarters combat command post in Yueyang, and convened a meeting of the chiefs of staff of each army to check the preparations for launching an offensive.At the same time, the key points of the plus operation plan were issued: "The main purpose of this operation is to destroy the Squadron's attempt to resist the war and deal a big blow to the troops of the Ninth Theater in the West."

On the same day, the 6th Division of the Japanese Army set off from Yueyang and Chongyang and assembled near Caoxieling south of Yueyang; the 40th Division attached a mountain artillery brigade to the west from Daye and Xianning in Hubei to gather near Taolin.

另外中国派遣军司令部以第13师团4个步兵大队、2个山炮大队为基干组成早渊支队:以第33师团3个步兵大队、1个山炮大队为基干组成荒木支队；以独立混成第14旅团1个步兵大队、1个山炮中队为基干组成平野支队；以独立混成第14旅团1个步兵大队为基干组成江藤支队。再配以战车第13联队、重炮第14联队以及派遣军直辖的工兵旅团，迅速向岳阳、临湘地区集结。
