Because of the lack of knowledge of Japanese intelligence, Feng Yong could only prepare for the worst. If Japan really threw three divisions into the southeast battlefield and joined the operation against the northeast, the pressure on the northeast army would be unprecedentedly strong. After all, the combat effectiveness of the three permanent divisions and regiments is not comparable to that of the newly formed divisions and regiments. Among them, the Fifth Division is the absolute trump card of the Japanese army. In addition to being extremely hated, the heinous blood debt committed by the Fifth Division in China in later generations also proved the strong combat effectiveness of the Fifth Division.

Based on this understanding, Feng Yong felt a lot of pressure for the next attack of the Japanese army.

Fengtian City, the headquarters of the Liaodong Theater of Operations.

Jiang Baili's expression also had a hint of hesitation.

"Commander-in-chief, according to our analysis, according to the current form on the battlefield, there is great hope for the victory of our army in the southeastern theater. However, in the southern theater, the Japanese 1st Division was extremely cautious, and it was difficult to find good opportunities in the southern theater. Said the operational staff officer of the Southeast Theater.

"Reinforcements from three permanent divisions. No matter which side of the battlefield you throw in, it will be an overwhelming advantage. According to intelligence, Japan wanted to put these three permanent divisions into the southeastern theater. The Japanese army had no intention of abandoning the war. In that case, we must prepare in advance. Jiang Baili said in a deep voice.

"Commander-in-chief, the southeast battlefield is in the most tense situation, the Japanese resistance is very strong, and now our heavy artillery units have not yet arrived at the battlefield, and I am afraid it will be difficult to take the position in a short time."

"The situation is urgent now, and with the strong seaborne capacity of the Japanese army, it will take a day at most to send reinforcements to the Korean mainland, which leaves me with little time." Jiang Baili stood in front of the map, his brows furrowed.

As the war progressed to the present, the Northeast Army had achieved a great advantage by virtue of its local superiority and tactical victory, and in this case, it was best for the Northeast to be able to force the Japanese army to armistice. But now the Japanese army has chosen to continue the attack and expand the scale of the war, and the northeast can only respond. As a military man, the problems of financial logistics only make him think, not shackle his mind. For soldiers, victory is the goal to pursue.

"Order, the Southeast Theater of Operations to crush the enemy in front of you as soon as possible, and urge the heavy artillery units to speed up their advance. Drive the enemy across the Yalu River. Relying on the natural hazards of the Yalu River to build a defensive position. ”

"Order, the Southern Military District launched a counterattack and dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese invaders."

With Jiang Baili's order, the radio stations of the entire theater headquarters began to run rapidly.

Beijing, Zhongnanhai.

Li Jun was tired of dealing with the government affairs at hand, and as the commander-in-chief of logistics of the Northeast Army, he allocated military supplies for the two battlefields, and the workload was very large. After all, the finances of the Northeast are already tight, and it is Li Jun's job to fight this battle with limited resources.

A tall, slightly powdered woman walked in with a cup of hot coffee. Gently placed it on Li Jun's table, then walked behind Li Jun and gently massaged his shoulder.

"Take a break!" The woman whispered.

Li Jun put down the pen, sat up straight, and stretched out his hand to hug the charming woman into his arms.

"Fengxia, thank you for your hard work!"

"What are you talking about? You are doing national affairs, and as a woman, it is my honor to handle the things in your life for you. "The charming woman is Zhan Fengxia, who fell in love with Li Jun at first sight in the Ganning area, and left the bitter cold land in the northwest, adding the nourishment of love, making Zhan Fengxia's whole person more and more beautiful.

"I'm sorry to let you follow me so shamelessly. When this war is over, I will prepare you for a perfect wedding. Li Jun's whole face was buried between Zhan Fengxia's hair, sniffing his seductive body fragrance. The body and mind are much more relaxed.

"Thank you!" Zhan Fengxia was a little moved. She felt very happy to be able to meet such a good man who cherished her in her lifetime.

After a little warmth, Zhan Fengxia left. Although Zhan Fengxia is the eldest lady of the Northwest Zhan family, she has been cultivated as an heir since she was a child, and she does not have as much Wenxiu as the ladies of this era, but this does not mean that she does not have a clear positioning for herself. Zhan Fengxia is a very smart woman. In addition, he loves Li Jun to the core, so he is naturally extremely gentle with him. But she has never interfered in Li Jun's political affairs. In this era, women have the idea of marrying and obeying their husbands in their personalities and thoughts. Unless the personality is extremely strong, they can all be good wives and mothers.

Zhan Fengxia left, and Li Jun's brows furrowed again.

"Are the Japanese really going to fight a national war at all costs?" Li Jun said with the telegram in his hand.

"Nope! Today, Japan has a very high international status, and its economy has been pulled back from the brink of collapse. The order of society has just stabilized, and it is the time when everything is in ruins, and they will not be so crazy. Li Jun said to himself firmly. There have been two leaps and bounds in the history of Japan, both of which were national wars that gambled on Japan's national fortunes, and it can be said that because of the huge interests, the Japanese government will take the whole country to take risks. But the situation is markedly different now, and the dispute between Japan and Tohoku is Japan's coveting of the territory of Northeast China. However, after the Northeast Army showed strong combat effectiveness, the Japanese army should understand that the land in the Northeast is not delicious, and without the consciousness of the destruction of the country and the family, the Japanese style cannot succeed. Even a war that is unfavorable will drag Japan into the quagmire of a protracted war, and eventually face the fate of financial collapse and government collapse.

Although the current Japanese government is a strange military cabinet, in addition to being a military soldier and extremely strong militarily, Terauchi Masatsuki is also a person who has experienced political ups and downs for a long time, and his thoughts as a military man are different from those of a country's prime minister. This can be seen from the fact that after he became Japan's prime minister, the government basically followed the economic policies of the Okeshi Shigenobu period. There is a saying that 'if you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are'. When Shigenobu Oki was prime minister, Masatoshi Terauchi, who was only a feudal official, was very repulsive to the weak foreign policy of the Shigenobu government, which was the reason why he tried his best to encourage the confrontation between the Korean army and the Northeast army. But when he sat in that position and became the head of the Japanese government, he discovered that Japan's economic situation was riddled with holes, an empty treasury, and a weak finance. At that time, when Terauchi Masashi first learned about all this, he hated Shigenobu Otsuki very much, thinking that it was his inaction that put the Great Japanese Empire in such a predicament. But when he learned about the changes in the empire before and after Otsuki Shigenobu took power, there was only a strong admiration left in his heart. Compared with before Shigenobu Oshinobu came to power, the financial structure of the Japanese Empire had improved greatly, and the huge loans that had been in arrears had been paid off. Since the Russo-Japanese War, there has finally been a surplus in the treasury of the empire. All thanks to the war in the West, which is in full swing.

It's a pity that when Terauchi Masashi understood all this, the Battle of the Northeast had already been launched under the impetus of the military elders. Terauchi had to struggle to run the new government and provide sufficient logistics for the war.

As soon as the cannon sounded, there were ten thousand taels of gold. How could Japan's weak fiscal surplus cope with such a high-intensity scale of engagement on the Tohoku Theater. Soon the finances began to dry up. If it weren't for Terauchi Masatake's urgent issuance of huge government bonds, I am afraid that the war would not have been fought now.

It is precisely because of his understanding and analysis of the Japanese government's fiscal policy and government work in recent years that Li Juncai has concluded that it is impossible for Japan to launch an all-out decisive battle and drag the study into the abyss of disaster. But this is just speculation after all, and the final determination is still up to Feng Yong. He compiled his opinions into materials and sent them to Feng Yong. Then began to raise supplies as originally planned.

The Tohoku territory expanded. But there has not been much increase in fiscal revenues. Even many places have just settled down, and it is necessary to maintain a certain amount of armament to suppress the localities. In this case, it was also much more difficult for Li Jun to raise military expenses. In addition, the radical land policies implemented in the three eastern provinces and Shandong Province made the landlord class in other provinces panic, and many large landowners adopted a policy of passive resistance, which made the work of local governments more laborious.

Li Jun is preparing to set up a central bank based on the Bank of Northeast China, and then issue treasury bonds using the banknotes currently issued in Northeast China as a model, so that a large amount of funds can be concentrated in the fastest way to provide impetus for the war in Northeast China. Of course, if Japan does not have the intention of all-out war, it will not need to issue huge amounts of government bonds, because after all, the issuance of government bonds will affect the operation of the government.

While Li Jun was racking his brains for logistics funds, both battlefields of the Northeast Army received the latest combat orders from the headquarters of the Liaodong Theater.

Southern theater of operations.

At the headquarters, Zhen Zhen was doing map deduction and calculating the best way and method of attack.

"Commander, since the order from the headquarters has been issued, let's attack! The 1st Division of the Japanese Army has been harassing us for so long, it's time to attack them! Qian Zhuangfei, political commissar of the Southern Military Region, said.

"Zhuangfei, the Japanese army has drawn out three veteran divisions to join the battlefield, and the pressure in the southeast theater is very great. The headquarters asked us to launch a counterattack at this time to attract the attention of the Japanese military high-level and to tell them that not only the southeast theater needs reinforcements, but also the southern theater, so that it is possible to share the pressure of the southeast theater and reduce the pressure for the next stage of operations. Zhen Zhen said with a smile. Unlike the decisive battles of the large corps in the southeastern theater, in the southern theater, the Northeast Army has always adopted mobile guerrilla warfare. Sniper and sneak attacks on the 1st Division heading north. It can be said that after the Japanese 1st Division left the protection range of the battleships, they did not sleep peacefully at night. The wolf's tooth special combat team is elusive, and there will always be some movement every night to make the little devil sober and sober. Under these conditions, the mental state of the soldiers of the 1st Japanese Division was greatly affected.

An offensive unit like the 1st Division would feel an incomparably headache in the face of the Northeast Army, which was not engaged head-on. It is even more difficult to prevent the harassment of the small units of the Northeast Army, after all, the special combat team is good at lurking, shooting, blasting, and throwing, and every day there are officers on guard and patrol who are sniped, and the camp tent near the edge is killed by the elusive mortar men of the Northeast Army. A little adds up. After more than half a month, the losses of the Japanese army have reached hundreds. This invisible enemy made the entire Japanese army panic.
