Glorious Mission 1937

After receiving the news, Chen Feng urgently called a meeting of military and political officials in Chongqing to discuss the matter.When Chen Feng informed the bigwigs attending the meeting that the Japanese army was withdrawing troops to North Korea and Southeast Asia, everyone was stunned, and excited cheers erupted in the entire conference room.

Chen Feng understood the feelings of these bigwigs very well. After fighting for so many years, now that he finally saw the hope of victory, how could he not make people excited?

After everyone vented their excitement, Chen Feng signaled everyone to be quiet, then got up and said, "Everyone, although there are many signs that the Japanese are withdrawing from the battlefield in China, the direction of retreat of the Japanese troops in North and Northeast China is North Korea and Central China. The Japanese troops in South China and South China are planning to withdraw to the Indochina Peninsula and other colonies in Southeast Asia. But after all, this is only the conclusion drawn by our intelligence agency based on the information in hand, and it is wishful thinking. As for what the Japanese think, it has not yet been determined.”

"The Japanese devil is the rabbit's tail - it can't grow! This time the Japanese are evacuating overseas Chinese in Liaodong, and at the same time most of the factories and enterprises are also evacuating to North Korea with the overseas Chinese. This is a very strong signal. The Japanese must not be able to hold on Besides, judging from the current situation on the battlefield, the time for our army to counterattack in an all-round way is ripe. If the Japanese army in central China hadn’t suddenly focused on launching an attack on Chongqing with all their strength, our army may have already reached Wuhan. If the Japanese are not stupid, They must withdraw from the Chinese battlefield before our army launches a full-scale counter-offensive, otherwise it will be too late when the main force of our navy returns to the mainland!" Mao Runzhi said.

"Brother Run is right. The Japanese are going to withdraw in all likelihood. But what should we do? Should we pursue it or wait and see?" He Yingqin asked the aspirations of everyone present.

Chen Feng thought for a while and said: "If the Japanese really want to withdraw their troops from the Chinese battlefield, then we have two reactions, one is to pursue the victory, and the other is to wait and see what happens. Although the pursuit of the victory may cause certain casualties, But it can wipe out a large number of effective forces of the Japanese and puppet troops, which will benefit our subsequent operations against the Indochina Peninsula and the entire Southeast Asia.”

"Watching the changes also has the benefits of watching the changes. The old saying goes that the poor will not chase after them, and the rabbit will bite when it is in a hurry. If we are in a hurry, there is no guarantee that the Japanese will die with us. The safest way is that we follow Take territory behind the Japanese. They retreat one kilometer and we advance one kilometer until all the territory is recovered."

He Yingqin said: "Then what should we do with the idea of ​​appointing a seat, there are advantages and disadvantages for advancing and retreating!"

Chen Feng said: "The army should have vigor, and it is advisable to use the remaining courage to chase down the poor. You can't be known as the overlord. Although it is a bit unreasonable to kill you while you are sick, it is feasible in the military. The Japanese are powerful in China. It has been a blessing for five or six years, if they are allowed to withdraw their troops from China so calmly, where will the face of us people be put? Where will the face of the [-] million people in China be put, so we must not let the Japanese remain intact Withdrawing from China, the dignity of the Han nation will never allow anyone to trample on it, especially a militaristic country like Japan."

"There is also a very real problem, that is, the Japanese have plundered a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry from China over the years. Some of them have been transferred to Japan, but some are still trapped in China. We absolutely The Japanese cannot be given time to scramble supplies and gold and silver treasures, so my opinion is to fight, resolutely destroy the arrogance of the Japanese, and keep them all in China."

"It's a good sentence, 'It is better to pursue the poor with courage, not to be famous and learn to be a king'. It should be like this. It's time for a full-scale decisive battle with the Japanese. Now their minds are all about how to escape back to Japan. Their fighting spirit must be very low. Morale is high This means that the fighting power is high, and vice versa, I support the opinion of the serious brother, and resolutely fight the Japanese to the death!" Mr. Mao said loudly.

Chen Feng suddenly felt a little ashamed, and accidentally thought of the phrase "It is better to chase the poor with the remaining courage, but not to be famous and learn the overlord". Isn't it the classic poem of this man? He didn't expect that he would openly plagiarize in front of the original work, and even win the praise of the original author.

After this period of fighting against Japan, all the senior officers here have a very clear understanding of the military gap between China and Japan, that is, China is not what it was a few years ago, or even a few months ago Now, China is no worse than the Japanese in terms of the quantity or quality of its troops.

Coupled with the fact that China has a large land, rich resources and a large population, a large land and abundant resources means more resources, a large population means more soldiers, more resources and more soldiers, coupled with advanced training methods, it is actually very easy to build a powerful army.Moreover, China has been engaged in a civil war for 34 years and a war of resistance against Japan for five years, and there are so many qualified soldiers.

Compared with them, what do the Japanese have, except that the Meiji Restoration has accumulated a little wealth, there is nothing worthy of praise at all.If you want resources but no resources, if you want energy but no energy, some people are just stunned by the Bushido spirit. It is a miracle that they can persist for so many years.

After so many years of war, Japan, from the royal family down to the common people, is at the end of its strength, and has no strength to continue fighting. Therefore, all the senior officers and the Japanese army present here have no fear of a few years ago.There is just endless hatred.

On November 1942, 11, Chen Feng issued an order for the final battle against the Japanese invaders, requiring the Northeast Theater, North China Theater, Central China Theater, South China Theater, and Southwest Theater to concentrate all available armed forces against the Japanese army. Launch a full-scale counterattack.

At the same time, Chen Feng also specifically pointed out that there is no battle plan for this battle, and all the troops just need to advance forward. When they encounter cities that cannot be defeated, they will bypass them and continue to advance, leaving the hard bones there for the last time.

After receiving Chen Feng's order, all theaters quickly implemented it. More than 5400 million troops, 28000 tanks, 4000 guns of various calibers and [-] fighter planes were dispatched on the front line. For a while, the entire Chinese battlefield was full of flames.

The Chinese government reacted fiercely and the Japanese side was extremely angry. According to the idea of ​​the Japanese army base camp, our Great Japanese Empire has decided to withdraw its troops, and you Chinese should accept it as soon as you see it. of.

In this way of thinking, many division and brigade-level establishments of the Japanese army completely forgot the order to retreat quickly from the headquarters of the Chinese Expeditionary Army. Chinese troops in pursuit.

Now Chen Feng's wish is fulfilled, Chen Feng's idea is very simple, no matter whether he can eat it now, as long as it stays in China's land, it will be his food.

China and Japan fought to the death on the Chinese battlefield. The United States, Britain and other countries were overjoyed and had a deeper understanding of the fighting power of Chen Feng's troops. They seemed to be unable to think of any words to express their shock except for being strong.

On November 11, after more than 25 days of fighting, the Japanese army finally withdrew more than half of the nationals in the Northeast and 20% of the enterprises to North Korea, leaving less than 60 divisions in the army. According to the Ministry's estimate, it will take another 5 days for large troops to cross the Yalu River and complete the task of withdrawing troops.

To be honest, the performance of the Kwantung Army in the process of withdrawing troops this time is indeed remarkable. Due to the early action of the Kwantung Army and the sound combat plan, the withdrawal time is very short, but the effect is surprisingly good , This is also the best battle the Japanese army fought in 1942.

Although the Japanese army in the Northeast withdrew quickly and cleanly, not only the army withdrew, but also most of the overseas Chinese and puppet troops, and those who did not withdraw became prisoners.But the Japanese army in Central China was not so lucky. They were resounding, but because there were too many troops and expatriates, there were not so many ships to retreat for a while.

In addition, the situation of the enemy and the enemy in Central China is the same as that in the Northeast. The Japanese in the Northeast have been operating for more than ten years, and the road to North Korea is smooth all the way. No one dares to intercept the Japanese on this road.Moreover, there are roads and railways directly leading to North Korea, so the traffic is very convenient.

Central China was very far away from where the Japanese army was going to network, and there were no direct roads and railways, so the order to withdraw troops was issued very early, but the execution effect was not very good, so they were quickly entangled by Chen Feng's troops.

In order to withdraw troops from the Chinese battlefield as soon as possible, the Japanese government mobilized ships of all sizes to go to China to serve as troop carriers. At the same time, it sent troops to forcibly recruit large Chinese fishing boats and cargo ships. For a time, there were as many boats in Wusongkou as crossing the river. The meaning of the Great Evacuation of Dunkirk.

In fact, the British also called this Japanese withdrawal from the Chinese battlefield the Dunkirk retreat in the east, but the British obviously did not know that the Japanese were extremely dissatisfied with the effect of this retreat.There were more than 70 Japanese soldiers, 120 million overseas Chinese, and 28 puppet troops in Central China, but the daily ship throughput at Wusongkou could only support the retreat of 5 people. So far, only 80 overseas Chinese and 30 troops have been evacuated.

These are not the most irritating things. What makes the Japanese most angry is that the puppet troops in Central China and the puppet troops in North China and Northeast China are simply two different things. I heard that the Japanese are going to withdraw to Japan, and there are nearly 10 The puppet army revolted in front of the battle, and the rest of the troops seemed to have lost their souls, with no fighting spirit at all. A large number of puppet troops fled every day, so now the Japanese army had to send a large number of combat troops to monitor the puppet army.

It was fine if the Japanese army didn't do this, but the conflict between the two sides became more intensified in this way, which brought many difficulties to the withdrawal of troops. (To be continued..)
