Chapter 625: The Impact of a Military Flag (Ask for Subscription!) ）

It has been transferred to the Central Military Commission station in Taiyuan.

The situation in North China as a whole. This was because the Eighth Route Army had streamlined the administration of the entire base area in advance, and in addition to the large number of Japanese weapons and equipment that had captured the Tianjin wharf, the equipment of nearly one million troops had all been uniformly reequipped. As a result, the situation in North China as a whole can be said to be showing a thriving situation.

Although, the situation in North China is hardly a major problem under the control of the millions of well-equipped troops of the Eighth Route Army. However, the bad situation in the northeast is a very huge problem that has always plagued the heartstrings of the Party Central Committee, especially the chairman.

At this moment, Liu Hua, the central leader who has been nominated as an alternate member of the Politburo, is leading 20,000 troops. In the three northeastern provinces, which can be called the rear bases of the Japanese army, a brutal struggle is being waged with more than one million units of the Kwantung Army.

More importantly, the extremely disparity in strength between the enemy and us, and the safety of Liu Hua, commander of the Northeast Field Army... All the things that were born in the three northeastern provinces, without exception, are always worrying about the heartstrings of several central leaders.

Of course, at this moment, the bloody battle around Baishan County was born. Before the battle began, it was reported by Liu Hua to the hands of several leaders of the central government.

In the war room of the central station, directly opposite is a huge combat map of North China. At this moment, it has been replaced with a military map of the three northeastern provinces. The various red and green arrows on the map clearly show you the specific distribution of forces on both sides of the three northeastern provinces.

At this moment, the chairman, the commander-in-chief, and Vice Chairman Zhou, this collective that can be called the Big Three. is gathered in the war room, frowning his brows, a pair of eyes staring at the map of Baishan County, which has been marked I don't know how many times.

Just when the three of them were frowning their brows, they were full of worries about the future of the Northeast Field Army. Ye Jianying, chief of the General Staff of the Central Military Commission, stood in front of everyone with a moving face.

"Chairman, Vice Chairman Zhou, Commander-in-Chief, Great Victory, Great Victory of the Northeast Field Army...", a jī moving voice shouted out from the mouth of Chief of Staff Ye Jianying.

In an instant, the eyes of the three people were all fixed on Chief of Staff Ye Jianying. The chairman opened his mouth, and it took several seconds before he reacted from shock and asked rhetorically in disbelief.

"Jianying, what did you just say, the Northeast Victory. Could it be that our Commander Liu Hua has won another big victory in the three northeastern provinces. Quick, talk to a few of us old guys, and let's be happy too..."

Under the gaze of the three people, Ye Jianying hurriedly replied.

"Yes, Chairman. The Supreme Command of the Northeast Field Army reported: the fifth column of the field army, the recruit column, a total of more than 40,000 troops. Under the command of Commander Liu Hua, after a day and a night of hard fighting, the 27th Infantry Division of the Japanese Army was successfully annihilated. Among them, the killing of a Japanese lieutenant general division commander and the capture of the Japanese 2nd and 27th divisions have been completely erased from the Japanese battle sequence and no longer exist. ”

The commander-in-chief asked rhetorically in disbelief with wide eyes.

"What, what did you just say, capture the flag of the Japanese division, kill the commander of the lieutenant general's division, quick, tell us again?"

Because, in his heart, he clearly knew what it meant to capture the flags of the Japanese divisions. It means that from now on, the 27th Division of the Japanese Army will be completely erased from the Japanese battle sequence. And this 27th Division will also become an eternal scar for the Japanese army. Thinking of this, the commander-in-chief's face showed a hint of jī movement, waiting for Ye Jianying's answer in front of him.

And Ye Jianying, who was in front of him, saw the changing expressions on the faces of the three people. Thinking of the expression he showed just after getting the telegram, he nodded thoughtfully, and then replied again: "Report to the three commanders, our Northeast Field Army, after a day and a night of hard fighting, completely annihilated the 27th Division of the Japanese Army, killed the commander of the Japanese division, and captured a flag of the Japanese division. ”

"Lao Mao, I just said, as long as this god of war Liu Hua comes out in person, there will definitely be no problems in the whole battle. You see, in less than a day and one night, the troops have achieved such huge results, and even the flags of the devil's divisions and regiments have been captured, which is really unexpected..."After getting Ye Jianying's affirmative answer. The commander-in-chief slammed the table in front of him and said to the chairman beside him with a smile.

Vice Chairman Zhou followed. , as if in his heart, he had a long breath of evil, and said in an unusually comfortable mood. ,

"Chairman, the capture of the Japanese army's division-level military flag is the first time in the whole country since the Anti-Japanese War. This time, we have achieved such great results, and in terms of public opinion, we must put down Chiang Kai-shek in Chongqing, so that he will have nothing to say about our dispatch of troops to the three northeastern provinces. ”

Seeing the two partners in front of him, the chairman's psychology was also very excited, and he nodded and replied.

"Enlai, boss, what you said is right, the capture of the first-class military flag of the Japanese division and regiment is something that has not happened since the National War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. Besides, with the current strength of our party, it is only a matter of time before Chiang Kai-shek of the Kuomintang and Chiang Kai-shek tear their faces and rule the river. Therefore, we must make good use of this incident to vigorously publicize our party's proposition. Enlai, all along, it has been you dealing with the Kuomintang, and the matter of fighting a public opinion war with the Kuomintang will be left to you to complete. ”

"Yes, Chairman, rest assured, it will definitely live up to the high expectations. This time there is a war of words, I will definitely make Chongqing's Jiang bald head and unable to speak. With enough strength and evidence, Vice Chairman Zhou said confidently.

"Well, Enlai and Chiang Kai-shek went to have a war of words. Boss, then, it's up to you to stay in the war room and keep abreast of the first dynamics on the front line. As for me, I immediately rushed out an editorial and broadcast it on Xinhua Radio to publicize this incident to the people of the whole country and the world. Of course, this is also what Comrade Liu Hua specially requested. The chairman nodded, and ordered in no uncertain terms.

A war of words between Vice Chairman Zhou and Chiang Kai-shek's Kuomintang. Needless to say, in the face of hard facts, coupled with the strong military pressure of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army. In order to assert their domination over the entire country. Chiang Kai-shek had to be cheeky, retract his previous orders, and give the Northeast Field Army of the Eighth Route Army a certain commendation...

Just when the tremendous results of the Northeast Field Army were transmitted to every corner of the world through the radio and in the first time. The whole country was once again shocked by the huge achievements made by Liu Hua, the god of war, and couldn't help but start celebrating the whole country. As for European and American countries, after confirming the accuracy of this news. For the Eighth Route Army led by China, it has a deeper understanding and has expanded China's influence in the world.

Of course, at this moment, there is a country that is in complete boiling because of this news. And this country is Japan that has been completely nurtured by militarism.

When the 27th Division was completely wiped out, and the news that the divisional flag was captured by the other side reached the country. Japan, which has been completely enveloped by a militaristic atmosphere. Ordinary people, officers and soldiers at all levels, staged large-scale demonstrations almost at the same time. And their march, not to make the empire withdraw its troops, but to immediately increase the number of troops and move a retaliatory blow to the Eighth Route Army.

In the face of the huge demonstrations of the people, although the cabinet tried its best to suppress it. However, at the repeated request of the officers of the Young Zhuang faction in the country, Emperor Hirohito, because of Liu Hua and the Northeast Field Army led by Liu Hua, once again convened an imperial council composed of various factions to discuss specific solutions.

However, to the anger of the Emperor, the entire meeting had just begun when he lost his control. The officers of the main battle faction, General Hideki Tojo, the minister of the 6th Army, under the instigation of a group of young and strong officers, have always asked the empire to send heavy troops to retaliate against the troops of the Eighth Route Army in Manchuria, and the 27th Division was completely annihilated.

However, a group of officers with the chief of staff, General Kenji Toféihara, were not surprised by the upcoming battle of the south, and even the upcoming Battle of Pearl Harbor. has been reactionary and sent troops out of G-Mountain.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, at present, Manchuria has a million elite Kwantung Army troops. However, the entire Kwantung Army was in a situation where it was attacked from three sides, and in addition, our Imperial Japanese Army was about to divide its troops and implement the southward battle plan. The troops of the Kwantung Army simply could not draw enough troops to encircle and suppress the troops of the Eighth Route Army in the Meng Mountain area. Chief of Staff General Kenji Tsuchihara said very rationally.

"Baga, is it just like this to watch the 27th Division being canceled, this is simply the greatest shame since the formation of the Imperial Japanese Army." Regarding the answer of Admiral Kenji Tojo, Tojo Hideki didn't think about it, and vetoed it with contempt. Then, he continued.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, I humbly believe that the reason why the troops of the Eighth Route Army in Manchuria, under the leadership of its supreme commander Liu Hua, were able to grow in a relatively short period of time has become a great problem for the troops of our Kwantung Army. One of the most important reasons is the repeated retreat of the Imperial Japanese Army. Let the cunning Liu Hua have plenty of time to show his arms. ”,

When I saw everyone nodding their heads in agreement because of their explanations. Hideki Tojo continued.

"Therefore, I think that we can no longer retreat to the troops of the Eighth Route Army led by Liu Hua, a native of China, and we must nip them in the bud. Otherwise, waiting for a month, or even half a year later, this Eighth Route Army will be able to expand to a certain extent, which is not something that can be imagined by humble duties. His Majesty the Emperor would like to ask him to make a decision as soon as possible. ”

Regarding the coaxing imperial meeting in front of him, Emperor Hirohito shook his head helplessly and said: "Everyone, you are all pillars of the Great Japanese Empire, and what you just said is very reasonable. However, the lack of troops has become a huge obstacle to the outward expansion of our Imperial Japanese Army. Tojo-kun, I don't know if you have any good suggestions? I believe that as long as we have sufficient troops, the Kwantung Army in Manchuria will not sit idly by and watch the Eighth Route Army grow and become a big problem for the empire. ”

"His Majesty the Emperor is wise!" Hearing that his opinion was affirmed by the emperor, General Hideki Tojo glanced at the chief of staff beside him. Then, he said with a moving face.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, there is a plan here, and I hope to get His Majesty's will."

"Well, it seems that Tojo-kun is very well prepared, let's talk about it together..."For Tojo Hideki, who had even prepared a plan in front of him, Emperor Hirohito nodded with satisfaction, and then said.

"Haiyi, I think that the current strength of the imperial army is simply not enough to sustain the next possible battle. Therefore, we must alert the reservists and reorganize several divisions to prepare for the possibility of war. And according to the discussion of our 6th Army Department, as long as we can reorganize ten main divisions, a total of 200,000 troops. We are fully capable of ordering the troops of the Kwantung Army to send troops to destroy the troops of the Eighth Route Army entrenched in Manchuria while conducting operations in the south. ”

Emperor Hirohito nodded at Hideki Tojo's suggestion and did not answer immediately. Instead, he turned his head and shifted his gaze back to the Chief of Staff, Kenji Tochihara, waiting for his statement.

At this moment, seeing the change in the expression on Emperor Hirohito's face, everyone who participated in the Imperial Council, even if they were stupid, knew that although Emperor Hirohito in front of him did not immediately express his position, in his heart, he had already agreed with Hideki Tojo's suggestion. Thinking of this, Senior General Kenji Tsuchihara hurriedly replied.

"Hai, Your Majesty the Emperor, you are all humble and stupid, and you didn't expect that my Great Japanese Empire has sufficient reserve soldiers. It is entirely possible to form dozens of main divisions and regiments in a short period of time. Therefore, he completely agreed with Tojo-kun's suggestion to sign the reserve and reorganize ten main divisions within half a month to participate in the plan to fight south. ”

"Yo Xi, since everyone has formed a unified opinion, then, it has been decided. Within half a month, the Signify Reserve, form ten infantry divisions, and participate in the southward combat sequence. As for the Kwantung Army troops in Manchuria, they should not send any more troops for this southward operation. However, it is necessary to wipe out all hostile forces in Manchuria within a short period of time, especially the troops of the Eighth Route Army entrenched in the Meng Mountain area. Tojo-kun, I'll leave these things to you. Emperor Hirohito nodded in satisfaction and then ordered.

"Hayi, please rest assured that Your Majesty the Emperor will live up to your high expectations," replied Admiral Hideki Tojo with a look on his face.

With the convening of the Imperial Council, the demonstrations in Japan finally subsided. At the same time, a large number of reserve troops were also quickly assembled under the order of Emperor Hirohito, and they were ready to participate in the war at any time.

Of course, it is impossible to hide the huge movements in Japan from the all-pervasive intelligence agents. Just after the Japanese army had issued the order to sign the reserves. One by one, the latest information has traveled from Japan to all corners of the world...

In Baishan County, which had been bombed into ruins by artillery fire, Commander Liu Hua and commanders of various columns at and above the division level were gathering in the room where the former Japanese division headquarters was located to hold a summary meeting of the battle to encircle and annihilate the 27th Division of the Japanese Army.

Just halfway through the process of the meeting. With a telegram, it was handed to Liu Hua by the communications staff officer. Commander Liu Hua, who was still smiling just now, stretched his brows and immediately frowned. After the communications staff officer quickly left the conference room, Liu Hua ordered with a decisive face to the dozen commanders in front of him who didn't know what to do: "Comrades, I just received a telegram from the Central Committee that there is a new movement in the Japanese Kwantung Army. So, the military situation is urgent, and now I order, the meeting is temporarily suspended. The divisions immediately replenished ammunition on the spot and prepared to continue the fighting. Commander Zhou Baozhong stays for a while, and the others will dismiss immediately..."

Seeing everyone leave the conference room in turn, he looked at the commander Liu Hua who was frowning in front of him. Zhou Baozhong, who was left by Liu Hua, asked.

"Commander, is something wrong?"

Liu Hua nodded and said affirmatively: "You." The latest information from the central government shows that the devil has begun to sign reserves again because the 27th Division has been canceled. Within half a month, the Japanese army will reorganize 10 main divisions, with a total of 200,000 people on the battlefield. ”

"Although, we don't know yet, these 200,000 people, the devil will throw himself into that battlefield. However, I am sure that no matter where the 200,000 men are thrown, the attitude of the Kwantung Army towards us and the way of fighting will change. ”

"Commander, I really didn't expect that our capture of a devil military flag would cause such a big movement." Zhou Baozhong said with emotion.

"Needless to say, for devils, the significance of a military flag is far greater than the strength of several divisions. The soldier is gone, and the devil can continue to make signs. However, as long as the military flag is gone, the establishment of the devil's division will be revoked forever, and at the same time, it will also become an eternal scar and shame for the devil..."Liu Hua nodded and replied.

"So what should we do next?" Zhou Baozhong asked.

"Wait, now the only way for us to do it is to wait for the devil to make a move, and then we will see the move. However, I, Liu Hua, am not the kind of person who will only be beaten passively. In the process of waiting, we cannot give up such a good opportunity to destroy the living forces of the Japanese army. Lao Zhou, immediately convey orders to all departments. The corners of Liu Hua's mouth showed a sneer, and he said affirmatively.

"Three columns, six main divisions, each equipped with heavy firepower of an artillery battalion, were ordered. Then, with divisions as units, they launched sorties against the Japanese puppet army strongholds around the base areas, killing and injuring a large number of Japanese troops. In addition, it is also necessary to warn the commanders of all main divisions that in the course of the operation, they can only take advantage of the situation and must not suffer losses, and they must control the casualties of the troops. After the sortie is completed, there are even more difficult battles waiting for us. ”

"Yes, Commander..."
