The uprising and suppression of bandits in Shandong were in full swing, but compared with the war in the northeast, the war in Shandong was undoubtedly a little small. However, in such a critical situation in the Northeast, the Northeast government still insists on its usual toughness and has no intention of compromising with the hostile forces.

The Northeast Army has developed to this day, not to mention that it has gone through a hundred battles, but it is almost the same. The Northeast is not afraid of war.

Daming Lakeside.

Liu Zhaoshui rarely had the leisure to stand by the lake. At this time, the water of Daming Lake has already bloomed, and the clear water of the lake gives people a refreshing and pleasant feeling. Daming Lake who is gushing out of springs all over Jinan. It is exceptionally clear compared to drinking water. Daming Lake is also the most famous residence in Jinan. Successive rulers of Jinan have lived here.

"Commissar Cai. I don't know what the situation is in the Northeast! The Japanese army of hundreds of thousands entered the northeast, and it was not known whether it could achieve a final victory. Shandong Governor Liu Zhaoshui said in a deep voice.

"Lao Liu, there's nothing to worry about, the young marshal's luck is excellent, and Little Japan doesn't have the appetite to kill us, not to mention that we still have famous generals like General Jiang Baili and Chief of Staff Li Jun in the Northeast, and Little Japan won't do anything." Cai Wenxiang said confidently.

"Also, it can be seen from the order of the young marshal that the Northeast is still at ease. At present, little Japan is only at war with the Northeast Army of the two military regions, and once the spirit of little Japan is thwarted, the young marshal concentrates the forces of all military regions and completes his work in one battle, and little Japan will be completely defeated! Liu Zhaoshui said. A flush of excitement appeared on his expressionless face. Not being good at expressing yourself doesn't mean you don't have a lot of feelings. Put it first, people who don't like to talk have even more feelings in their hearts than ordinary people. This has a common name in later generations, called "sullen". It can be said that Liu Zhaoshui is a little sullen.

Cai Wenxiang smiled and didn't say anything. In the military, Liu Zhaoshuai is a layman, and Cai Wenxiang is not a good player. After all, he is a political commissar and a political work cadre, and it is understandable that his military ability is not good. But as the deputy political commissar of the Grand Military Region, his rank is high enough, and he is definitely able to contact many of the insides of the Northeast Army. The Northeast Army currently has seven major military regions and one reserve military district. In terms of strength, the Northeast Military Region is a well-deserved first among these eight military regions, and it far surpasses other military regions in terms of personnel training and equipment level. The second is the Southern Military Region, which was established in the northeast to guard against Japan. At the moment when the military regions were established, the northeast was consciously strengthening the strength of the two military regions. Even when he died in the Central Plains War, Feng Yong did not stop strengthening the strength of these two military regions. Until the start of the war, the strength of the seven major military regions of the Northeast Army had already been opened. Even the First Northeast Military Region and the Western Military Region Zhang Xiaoshan are far inferior to the Southeast Military Region and the Southern Military Region.

It can be said that Tohoku has been preparing for this battle with Japan for more than a year. No matter what the difficult circumstances, the Northeast did not transfer troops to the Southeast Military Region. Later, the Southern Military Region also joined the focus of the construction of the northeast, and its strength expanded rapidly. This kind of armament at any cost has finally given the Northeast the strength to confront Japan.

"Lao Liu, Jinan depends on you! During this time, I am going to inspect the training situation of Xinbin training camps in various places! The training of new recruits is the most important task of our Shandong Military Region, and there is no room for slackness. Cai Wenxiang said in a deep voice.

"Don't worry! The resistance around Jinan has been almost cleaned up, and the rest is the work of the government. The Beijing government has supported a large number of our cadres, which is enough for this reform of the surrounding areas of Jinan. Liu Zhaoshui nodded. The land reform has stimulated the conservative forces in Shandong. Xu Zheng began to purge these rebels. Shandong is too big, and it is unlikely that it will be cleaned up at one time, after all, the troops that can be pumped out by the Northeast are really limited, and in this situation, Xu Zheng can only clean up one place at a time. First of all, of course, it is for the surrounding areas of Jinan.

Northeast. Headquarters of the South-Eastern Military District.

"Where is the enemy's main force?" Lin Hu, commander of the Southeast Military Region, said in a deep voice.

"I just received information that the enemy is approaching the Tonghua area."

"Almost!" Lin Hu turned his head and said to political commissar Yan Lei.

"Not bad! Further inside, you're going to enter the residential area! I suggest that we divide and eat the enemy at this point! Yan Lei said in a deep voice.

"Send a report to the theater headquarters that our unit has retreated dozens of miles and led all the enemy into the Changbai Mountains. Now that the enemy is about to move out of the mountains, our division is preparing to launch a counteroffensive and deliver a resolute blow to the enemy. Lin Hu said loudly.

Mukden City.

Because of the proximity of the military war in Fengtian, and the headquarters of the Liaodong Theater of Operations was set up here, this ancient city was filled with a sense of slaughter.

Headquarters of the Eastern Liaodong Theater of Operations.

The strength of the headquarters is in the original general to go to the house. As for the Feng family's original mansion, naturally no one dared to live in it. Where has become Feng Yong's camp.

Jiang Baili looked at the map, his face full of contemplation.

"Report to the Commander! Urgent power from the Southeast Military District. ”

Jiang Baili sent a telegram, glanced at it, and then walked quickly to the map.

"Tonghua County. ...... here," Jiang Baili couldn't help frowning. Then he turned to the operational staff officer and said: "Mark the location of the enemy on the sand table." At the same time, mark the direction where we are. "In Jiang Baili's big tent, there are several large sand tables, after all, this battle has entered the second stage, and the war is not for two large battlefields, countless small battlefields. Under such circumstances, as the commander-in-chief of the theater, Jiang Baili certainly had to figure out the situation on the battlefield.

"Yes!" The entire War Department was busy. It is very open, and the situation of the enemy and the enemy in the Tonghua area is manifested.

"Commander, the enemy is like an arrow, this time it is aimed at Changchun, and their target is our headquarters in the northeast. Or rather, their goal is the young marshal! Wang Jigang looked at the sand table and said.

"It's not surprising that the thief captures the king first. According to our information, the situation in small Japan is not optimistic. Although the military government and military regions controlled the Japanese government, the conservative forces in Japan were opposed to the war. Especially the Japanese conglomerates. Nowadays, the world market is hot, and the merchant group has reaped endless benefits from the market early. If there is a war, the power of the entire empire will be tilted like a war, and not only will the newly restored economy face collapse, but the development of the empire will also be interrupted. I don't know when I'm going to recover.

But after all, the conservative forces are not very strong, and the military is determined to send troops to the Northeast, because the speed of development in the Northeast is too terrifying, and the Japanese military has no bottom in their hearts, and when the world war ends, the Northeast will develop.

"The sharpness of the Japanese army has declined, but it is far from reaching the level of dragging the enemy down as the young marshal said. Jiang Baili shook his head and said.

"Commander, then let's not fight, let little Japan advance some distance? Anyway, Tonghua County is still far from Changchun! Wang Jigang said.

"No, if you retreat, you're going to enter a populated place. The young marshal said that therefore, it is calculated that there is not a single soldier left in our Northeast Army, and we must also keep the enemy out of the people's living areas. War is a military business, and ordinary people cannot be drawn in. Little Japan's army is murderous, and no one can guarantee what he will do to our people. Jiang Baili said in a deep voice.

From a purely military point of view, it is not something to fight for, because after all, the Northeast does not have a complete military service system, and it is inferior to Japan in terms of war potential. In addition, the three eastern provinces are the only more developed regions in Northeast China, and almost all industrial systems are located in this region. Despite the best efforts of the Tohoku government to maintain itself, the commercial streets were severely affected, after all, the blockade of the Japanese navy had deprived Tohoku of the strength of overseas trade. Of course, in this case, there is only one industry in the Northeast that has always prospered, and that is the military-industrial complex and war-related enterprises. It's something that can't be helped. In order to ensure quality, the weapons of the Northeast Army were tendered for all government-controlled enterprises in the Northeast. Companies that are successful in the tender can receive government orders and ample research funding. This has also led to the entire Northeast arms companies desperately conducting research. After all, new products are life.

"Pass my order, agree with the battle plan of the Southeast Military Region, and at the same time see this battle plan and upload it to the Changchun Major Marshal's Mansion." Jiang Baili finally made a decision.

"How's the situation in the Southern Military District?" Jiang Baili asked. When Japan landed, the commander of the Southern Military Region, Zhen Zhen, decided to concentrate superior forces and eat one of the roads. However, after the plan was reported, both Jiang Baili and Feng Yong chose a more prudent attitude and let the Northeast Military Region use the terrain to lure the enemy into dividing his troops. Then eat it slowly.

"It's not clear, little Japan seems to be aware that these two armies have never meant to divide their troops, but are just moving forward with one mind. Judging from the operational defense line all the way west, their goal was Jinzhou. Could it be that Japan wants to cut off our ties with Kannai? Wang Jigang's face changed.

"There is this possibility, after all, we still have 100,000 elite troops in the Guannai, even if the weapons and equipment of these troops are not as strong as those of the Southeast Military Region and the Southern Military Region, it will be a big trouble for them to return to the Northeast." Jiang Baili nodded and said.

"General, Commander Zhen Zhen is a little out of breath. The little devil is moving fast and is now approaching the residential area. According to the information we have obtained. This time, the Southern Military Region faced small Japan with not much food brought from the country, and the large army often advanced lightly. They were so eager to march into the area, did they want to enter the residential area and plunder? Wang Jigang thought of the information sent by the Investigation Bureau and said.

"Feeding war with war has always been the usual method of little Japan. Their country was barren, and their taxes could not support the movement of the army at all, and they could only ensure the food supply of the army through plunder. If that's the case, we can't let them into the neighborhood. Jiang Baili said in a deep voice.
