Glorious Mission 1937

At 1942 o'clock in the morning on June 6, 8, from Harbin in the north to Lanfeng in the south, 180 million Chinese troops launched a full-scale attack on the Japanese and puppet troops in Northeast and North China. At the same time, 28 troops under the command of Lieutenant General Ivanov With the cooperation of some Chinese troops, the division went out of Jixi and attacked in the direction of Mudanjiang.

Faced with the powerful offensive of the Chinese and Soviet armies, the Japanese side also attached great importance to it, and sent a large number of troops to deploy defenses on major traffic arteries and key cities, quite determined to fight to the death.

In the eyes of Umezu Yoshijiro and Okamura Neiji, this battle must be a protracted war of attrition. The Chinese and Soviet armies’ offensive is certainly strong, but the Japanese and puppet troops in Northeast China and North China are not just eating dry food. The army of more than 140 million is definitely not a short period of time. can be defeated within.

However, in fact, the situation of the battle has been one-sided from the very beginning. The Chinese and Soviet armies adopted the strategy of attacking the key cities defended by the Japanese army as long as they could. Road, took over a large number of towns in a short period of time.

As of June 6, nearly 15 Japanese troops north of Changchun were alone guarding the three cities of Songyuan, Shuangcheng, and Mudanjiang, and other places had already become Chinese territories.

At the beginning, the Kwantung Army Command wanted to copy the back route of the Chinese army, trying to use the defenders in these cities to cooperate with Changchun's troops to flank the Chinese troops that broke into the hinterland of Japan, but soon they found themselves like a beast in a swamp. , seem to be powerful, but in fact they can't even move, because they only control some cities, and they are outside the cities.The Chinese and Soviet armies mobilized a large number of Chinese civilians to attack everywhere, destroying the traffic arteries of the Japanese and puppet. The Japanese and puppet military forces in Pine Garden and other places numbered tens of 10, but they could not get out of the city at all, and they were completely trapped in the quagmire of the Chinese military and civilians. middle.

The battles in other places were also similar. The rapid development of the battle situation not only shocked the Japanese side, but even the Chinese commander Wei Lihuang who was in charge of this battle was also surprised. He commanded 180 million troops to deal with 140 million Japanese puppet troops. He never imagined that although the combat effectiveness of the reorganized Chinese troops has made a qualitative leap, he has a great understanding of the Japanese army's combat effectiveness after years of fighting the Japanese army.To be honest, he has no idea.

However.The soldiers on the front line taught him, the commander-in-chief, a lesson with the facts. In just one week, the performance of the troops advanced by more than 300 kilometers. Great combat power broke out in the battle.Mobilizing the masses of the people gave great help to the frontline troops.Now there is almost no need to worry about the logistics and reserve personnel of the army.The local people will be rounded up, and the troops only need to move forward step by step.

After fighting for so many years, Wei Lihuang has never fought so smoothly.And the enemy is still an elite like the Japanese Kwantung Army.At this time, Wei Lihuang felt great admiration for the young chairman of the committee in Chongqing and the former leader of Yan'an. With these pillars, what's the point of a mere oriental devil, and why should China not rise?

The victory on the front line directly stimulated the enthusiasm of the domestic people for the war of resistance. Represented by big cities such as Guisui, Chongqing, and Chengdu, a large number of people generously donated money and materials for the war of resistance against Japan. The conscription offices in every city are full.

But the young people who came to sign up to join the army suddenly found that joining the army this year is much more cumbersome than before. In the past, when Chiang Kai-shek was in power, the big guys just had to go to the conscription office and fill out a form. But it’s different now. Fill out the form It is necessary, and a lot of certificates are required. In addition, there is a physical examination. Only those who are qualified can serve as soldiers. It is better to be educated. The review is not very strict, and the review is much stricter for those who do not know a single word.

Just when a new round of anti-war upsurge was set off across the country, using the former Saibei Province as a template, the provinces began to reform education and medical care. According to the documents issued by the Executive Yuan, each province was required to set up a township-level government, and a township One primary school and one middle school, no less than 15 primary schools and 5 middle schools in one county, and no less than 3 universities in one province.

The same goes for health care reform. A township must have a health center, a county must have a hospital that can perform simple appendectomy operations, and a city must have a large general hospital.

According to the budget, all the Kuomintang-controlled areas will be completed, and the government will need to invest 5 million French currency every year in education and medical care alone.Originally, according to the decision of the government above, it was planned to carry out reforms in stages and regions, and increase fiscal revenue year by year.

However, Chen Feng is well aware of the importance of education and medical care, so he promised to invest 2 million US dollars in education and medical reform for the government every year, hoping that the government will implement this policy of benefiting the people as soon as possible.

With Chen Feng's strong support, the government's actions were quick.A large number of educated young people and doctors were gathered and sent to various counties and towns. First, they used dilapidated houses to start teaching and practicing medicine. The government accelerated the construction of schools and health centers.

The common people see all this, they know better than anyone else what the government is doing and what it wants to do.At the same time, the common people are the most simple, and they must support such a conquest, so in 1942, the most touching group phenomenon in Chinese history appeared.

This year, the government did not need to urge the payment of taxes, and the common people drove their own carts to send the grain to the county within the specified time, and guaranteed that it would be full of grain, never mixed with sand, and that it was all fine grain; The government does not need to recruit strong men, and the conscription offices in various places are overcrowded; this year, there are many fewer radish heads in the field and child labor in the factory. Even in the most remote towns in China, you can hear the sound of reading aloud; this year because There are far fewer Chinese who die from headaches and colds, because each county and town has its own health center, and serious illnesses may not be treated, but headaches and brain fever are still no problem...

What happened in China was quickly spread around the world. Whether it was the US government, the Soviet government, or the Hitler regime, which was in a hostile camp with China, they were all very surprised by what happened in China, and at the same time felt that this ancient The kingdom finally broke out in silence, and the lion in the east woke up.

The Japanese government, which has suffered repeated military blows, is also quite helpless. Although they do not believe that the Chinese government can defeat the Japanese government in a short period of time, many officials are pessimistic about the outcome of this war.

At this time, there are some different voices from both the Japanese people and the government. They believe that the government should hold talks with the Chinese government and the US government as soon as possible to end the war as soon as possible, or negotiate peace with one side, and then continue to fight with the other side.

The Japanese government also attaches great importance to this, and contacted the United States on June 6 to discuss matters related to the peace talks, but was rejected by the United States.

At the same time, large domestic enterprises in Japan were frequently attacked, mainly military enterprises, such as arsenals and aircraft factories, and enterprises such as steel factories and cement factories were also attacked.

In addition, some war advocates in Japan have been assassinated frequently. There are military officers and politicians. Although these people have different identities, they all have one thing in common. Many things have been awarded certain honors by the Japanese government.

Of course, these people now also have a common feature, that is, the death conditions are extremely miserable, either being dismembered or headshot, and each of them is left with a whole body.Things like this have caused the Japanese government and ordinary people to panic, but there is nothing they can do.

In fact, Chen Feng sent people to do these things. As early as last year, he sent Li Zong and others back to Japan with dozens of special forces members familiar with Japanese society and Japanese living habits, and rebuilt the "Hojo" in Tokyo. "Family" and Hojo Trading Company, so far Chen Feng's tentacles have directly extended to the mainland of Japan. The previous strategic bombing forces bombed Tokyo Li Zong and others did not lose their efforts.

Now Chen Feng ordered Li Zong's special forces to formulate their own battle plan, purposefully and systematically mess up Japanese society, attack those fanatical war elements, and create an atmosphere of terror.

The role of terrorist attacks is clear to Chen Feng better than anyone else. Even a superpower as powerful as the United States in future generations will keep silent about terrorist attacks, let alone Japan now.

The defeat of the war, the air strikes of the enemy fleet, and the ubiquitous terrorist attacks, the Japanese people finally feel the pain of the skin. The enthusiasm for the war before is declining. This is directly reflected in people’s support for the army and the government. relatively easy.

Especially 37 years ago, at that time, the Japanese army was invincible wherever it went. Almost all the soldiers made a fortune, and the property they robbed was enough to feed and drink for their families in China. So for a long time, young and middle-aged Japanese robbed They want to serve in the army, and whose children have to entertain their relatives and friends after enlisting in the army.

But with the continuation of the war, this situation is gone forever. Now, in many cases, families send their children to the army, and it will not take long for them to receive a death notice.

It's not bad to die in battle, at least you can be commended by the government and have a certain pension.But if you are captured, it will be troublesome. Not only will your reputation be damaged, but your family and friends will also be affected, and they will be discriminated against and insulted by the government and neighbors.

This year, the Japanese government expects to recruit 150 million troops, but after half a year, only more than 50 have been recruited, and two-thirds of the tasks still need to be completed, which shows that the support of the Japanese people for the government is declining. (To be continued..)
