Chapter 367: The Impact of Influence

In order to prevent Qingma from playing tricks and forcing Qingma to drive tigers and wolves for him, the deputy commander of the Eighth Theater with heavy troops also made some preparations. After the reinforcements of the Anti-Japanese Union entered the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border area, he withdrew from the front line and drove to the western section of Longhai Road, and the two armies and one heavy artillery battalion deployed in the Longdong area would definitely not be polite to this wild horse.

An army stationed in the Hexi Corridor can also enter Qinghai immediately. directly put their nests to the end, and took the opportunity to completely solve the big hidden danger in the northwest. Especially after he gave the order to Qingma to transfer the Fifth Cavalry Army, in order to restrain Qingma from obeying the order, he made certain adjustments to the original deployment and forced Qingma to contribute.

As for Ningma, he didn't care whether the army that Ningma transferred to Lingwu was the 81st Army or the 11th Army. If he didn't obey the order, he was stationed at the junction of Ganning and Ningxia, an elite central army that had now been increased to an army formation, and once Ningma made any changes, he could immediately disarm and solve them.

In fact, this first protégé of the Son of Heaven has this confidence with his principal at this time, not because his troops are so good now. However, after this war, the situation in the whole of North China changed fundamentally. The Japanese army in North China, which had been heavily damaged, could only be on the defensive for a short period of time, which gave them the confidence to completely solve the northwest problem.

In addition to the outbreak of Chongqing's strength against Yan'an, this battle gave Chongqing a strong sense of crisis. Another impact on Chongqing is that the danger in Shaanxi and the northwest has been lifted in a short period of time. At least until the Japanese North China Front recovers and recaptures Suiyuan, Chahar and northern Jin, the northwest battlefield, which was originally besieged by three directions and outflanked on both flanks, can now be said to be worry-free.

The changes in the battlefield in North China directly affected the war situation in the entire North China. Not only can most of the main forces in the Second War Zone be freed up in a short period of time, but even the three armies in the rear set, one army of the Jinsui Shaanxi Border Region Command, plus the Northeast Advance Army under the command of this department, can also be completely freed up.

The complete collapse of the Japanese army in the Shanxi battlefield made the task of defending the Yellow River in the Eighth Theater basically become extremely easy all of a sudden. Its most elite 34th Group Army has now been completely freed up, and there is no need to think about river defense and northwest defense for a short time.

In addition to the more than 100,000 troops in the Second War Zone in Hedong, the First War Zone, which is already much less stressed in Henan, can at least draw out a group army. Now that the northwest is using troops, he can free up hundreds of thousands of troops. In fact, when the Japanese army was in decline during the battle, he transferred the best two armies from the First War Zone into the Henan-Shaanxi border area.

In fact, if he moves towards Shaanxi and Gansu now, he can mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops. This includes most of the three group armies in Shaanxi and Gansu in the Eighth Theater, two armies in the First Theater, and the main force in the Second Theater, as well as one army and two brigades in the Shanxi, Suixi, and Shaanxi borders. In addition to the two armies of Qingma, one army of Ningma.

Once the situation requires it, the 11th Army and the 82nd Army, which are the capital of these two horses, can also be transferred out. Even if they don't want to, they can't help it when the time comes. With such a calculation, the number of troops he can use in northern Shaanxi is quite sufficient, at least there is no problem at all to deal with the tens of thousands of ** who lack guns and ammunition in northern Shaanxi.

When the time comes, with the main force in the second war zone, the first in Shanxi, and the 22nd Army in Yulin to clamp down on northern Shanxi, plus the main force currently deployed in the Shaanxi and Gansu regions, it is completely possible to solve all the problems quickly before the others arrive. As long as their brains are knocked out, although the remaining ** is huge, the dragons can only fall into their own chaos without a leader.

As long as they themselves fall into chaos, they give the "center" the opportunity to completely solve the situation in the country. When the time comes, the two horses in Qinghai and Ningxia, and the second-tier war zone in the southeast of Shanxi Province have given themselves countless messes and let them kill each other with northern Shaanxi. Wait until their strength is weakened to a certain extent, and even they will be completely resolved. At that time, the entire situation in the northwest can be completely resolved, except for the fact that there are still some troubles in Xinjiang.

It was also the fundamental changes in the situation in North China caused by this war, which made the supreme authority in Chongqing develop its strength against Yan'an rapidly, and at the same time, the main force of the Anti-Japanese Federation was still far away in the northeast, and after a major war, there were heavy casualties, and it was no longer able to fight again without a long period of rectification.

As well as its major strategic areas in North China, it has not yet completely broken away from the division of the Japanese army. Its own strength is also quite limited, and whether it is equipment or combat effectiveness, it is far from being able to compare with the Northeast **, and it is still relatively weak, and it is a favorable opportunity to completely solve Yan'an's mind in one fell swoop.

He knew very well that if he didn't take advantage of Yan'an's body bones right now, he would make a strong move before he completely hardened. Once they are completely fruitful, it is not time to solve them by themselves, and things are likely to turn the other way around. As for the protests against the United States and Britain, the supreme authority is well aware that his protests may have basically zero effect.

The United States and Britain, who have always been profit-oriented realists, no matter how much they protest. They will definitely not terminate the anti-United Nations aid that can help them hold back the entire Kwantung Army at this time. It is not even possible to reduce, let alone terminate altogether. They will only increase, and definitely not decrease. In order to help them drag more Japanese troops as much as possible on the battlefield in the northeast.

Therefore, this supreme authority on the side of the couch does not allow others to snore. Feeling Yan'an's body bones, it is getting tougher and tougher. The well-equipped and extremely powerful Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation has entered North China. Although it has not yet started to fight directly, it has already begun to deploy.

In his view, once China's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression catches the chariot of the United States and Britain, from the comparison of overall national strength, victory is already a matter of no suspense, and the only problem is the time sooner or later. The current situation forced him to start thinking about post-war issues, especially post-war domestic issues.

After the earth-shaking changes in the war situation in North China, the original passive situation in the entire North China and Northwest China has undergone a fundamental change. Hundreds of thousands of troops suddenly became idle, so that he had the confidence to solve Yan'an at this time. It was precisely because of various considerations that he secretly summoned his proud protégé and began to deploy.

And the new situation that has now emerged in Zhenghua North has not only made the top authorities in Chongqing have a trace of not very good ideas. It also allowed the deputy commander of the Eighth Theater of Operations, who had been responsible for the defense of the Yellow River in Shaanxi, to no matter how he mobilized his troops, he did not have to worry that the Japanese army would take advantage of the situation.

After receiving the order, in the face of favorable changes in the situation, he transferred the elite 90th Army of the Central Army, which was originally deployed in the key areas of the river defense, to the Hexi Corridor for defense. The greedy commander of the Fifth Cavalry Army, who deployed the Qingma system in the Hexi Corridor, was transferred back to Qinghai along with his Fifth Cavalry Army, and actually controlled the Hexi Corridor.

Completely opened up the Hexi Corridor, which was originally like an obstruction, and at the same time did a good job for the next step into Xinjiang, it also pressed a nail on the flank of Qingma. The Third Army, which had basically been replenished after the original Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, which had broken through the encirclement after the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, was now stationed in Gansu for reorganization, and entered the Guyuan area on the spot to clamp down on Ningma.

The 16th Army and the 42nd Army, which were of his descendants, suppressed Qingma and Ningma on the front line of Lanzhou on the spot. At the same time, the 36th Army and the 80th Army of the 37th Group Army, which were originally stationed in Pingliang, were transferred to Longdong as troops to attack northern Shaanxi from the southwest, plus the 129th Army watching Qingma.

The 42nd Army and the 57th Army, the main force of the 34th Group Army, which were originally stationed in Guanzhong, were placed in the western section of Longhai Road, at the junction of Shaanxi and Gansu. The task of Xi'an city defense was handed over to the 27th Army, and the First Army of his henchmen was directly withdrawn to the line from Shangnan to Lantian in southern Shaanxi, and the line of Longnan was contained from southern Shaanxi, forcing Qingma to exert all his strength, especially agreeing to transfer the Fifth Cavalry Army.

On the entire river defense line from Yichuan to Fengling, which was several hundred kilometers away, only one 96th Army and one division of the 27th Army were placed. After consulting Chongqing, several security regiments in southern Shaanxi were reorganized into several temporary divisions and transferred to the front line of river defense to take over the original line of the Central Army.

And after Qingma's Fifth Cavalry Army arrived in Longdong from Qinghai, he made a rather astonishing deployment. The Fifth Army of the Green Horse Cavalry has not yet sat firmly in Longdong, and has not even waited for it to converge with the 129th Army. He was also invited to the line from Luochuan to Yichuan at the first time by him in the way of escorting the two armies of the Central Army on the front line of Lanzhou.

As soon as the 1st Provisional Cavalry Division in Qingma entered Shaanxi, it was "escorted" to the 5th Cavalry Army by his 80th Army and a directly subordinate division. He transferred his central army to the second line, and not only used the two armies of Qingma separately, but also drove them all to the first line with the two flanks of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border area.

What are you kidding, since you have finally been transferred out, you can still be made to work without contribution, so that you can hug together against the "central government"? Divide and conquer is the highest state. If these two armies are gone, you, the king of Qinghai, should also leave Qinghai.

This dignified king of the Northwest, in order to implement his headmaster's plan to kill people with a knife and solve the three major henchmen in the northwest at the same time, can be described as painstaking. For his thoughts, Erma is also very clear. But compared with Ningma, who is more slippery and can't live or die, Qingma's coping means are quite limited.

As soon as he did this, the troops that Qingma could actually control in Qinghai were left with only one 82nd Army, and Qinghai's defense was already empty. And the Hexi Corridor is also completely controlled by the Central Army. In addition, the two armies originally stationed on the line from Lanzhou to Pingliang can be surrounded by the Central Army.

In the face of the sinister Central Army, the king of Qinghai, who has always been known for his insidious ferocity, has no way to deal with it. I felt like I was hooked. He knew that if he disobeyed his orders, the target of the "central government" would not be northern Shaanxi, but Xining. The Fifth Cavalry Army, which he had just swallowed his stomach, might not be swallowed by the surrounding central army, and there would not even be a bone left.

Northern Shaanxi is a wolf, but the central army is a tiger. The situation of the former tiger and the wolf made the Qinghai king at a loss. Now he agrees to transfer the Fifth Cavalry Army to the front line of Longdong, and his intestines are full of regret. Originally, he thought that although the central authorities had the intention of emphasizing the Fifth Cavalry Army, the Fifth Cavalry Army could be close to the 129th Army when it arrived in Longdong, and it would be in a situation of advancing and retreating freely at that time.

Even if there is any change in the Central Army, at least it can buy time. What's more, with the addition of the Fifth Cavalry Army, if the Central Army wants to move the 129th Army, it has to think carefully and consider. If northern Shaanxi attacks Longdong, or the central government attacks northern Shaanxi, as long as the two armies are close together, there will be no problem.

At the same time, the Fifth Cavalry Army was transferred to Longdong, away from the eldest brother who was a bare-pole supervisor in the Qaidam Basin. You can buy yourself some more time to digest it thoroughly. originally thought that he would kill two birds with one stone, but now he didn't expect to put a piece of fat on the mouth of the Central Army.
