The devil Zhongzuo couldn't help frowning, and said with a puzzled expression: "Your Excellency General, such a sudden entry of the Eighth Route Army into the Liuling Mountain area will have an extremely bad impact on the security of the Datong region, and I think that this Eighth Route Army should be eliminated as soon as possible, otherwise it will inevitably cause trouble, but why did Your Excellency the General say that this hateful Eighth Route Army cannot be wiped out for the time being" Anda Twenty-three sighed softly and said: "There are some things that you don't know, but it doesn't matter if you tell you."
According to the latest news from the headquarters, a large-scale counteroffensive is brewing for the people of China recently, and at present we do not know the specific operational intentions and operational plans of the people of China, so the headquarters orders the imperial troops in various localities to strengthen the monitoring of the troops in the defense area, but not to carry out large-scale clean-up operations for the time being, and wait and see what happens. ”"Sonaisne" The devil Nakasa suddenly realized, but then frowned, and said with a disdainful face: "These stupid people are still thinking about counterattacking the imperial army, it's just beyond their means.""
Hmph" Anda Twenty-three snorted coldly and said: "Since the imperial army captured Wuhan, there has almost never been a large-scale attack on the Chinese army, and not long ago the 11th Army attacked Changsha, and finally failed to capture Changsha, which is a pity."
This made these stupid Chinese people think that our Imperial Japanese Army was no longer capable of launching a large-scale attack on them, and after this period of rest, the Chinese army had regained a trace of vitality, and they did not know that the sky was high and the earth wanted to launch a counterattack against the Imperial Army, which was simply self-defeating. ”"What His Excellency General Hai said is very true."
The devil Nakasa said with a respectful face: "Your Excellency General, since the Imperial Army cannot send troops to encircle and suppress this Eighth Route Army for the time being, then what should we do next" Anda Twenty-three frowned and thought for a while, and then said with a serious face: "Continue to closely monitor the movements of this Eighth Route Army, and immediately report this information to His Excellency the Division Commander" Now the division commander of the 26th Division is Lieutenant General Kuroda Shigetoku.In November 1939, after a long period of preparations, the Chongqing government finally made up its mind to launch a large-scale counteroffensive against the Japanese army throughout the country.There are many reasons why the Chinese army launched this campaign, and there are probably four main reasons for this.First, ensure the safety of the international communication line between Yunnan and Myanmar.After the loss of Wuhan and Guangzhou, the only channels for the Chinese government to receive aid from Britain and the United States were the Guangdong-Hong Kong international communication line and the Yunnan-Burma international communication line.Due to the loss of Chaoshan and Nanning, the Guangdong-Hong Kong international communication line has been cut off by the Japanese army, and the Yunnan-Burma international communication line has also been greatly threatened by the Japanese army, and it may be cut off at any time.In order to ensure the safety of this important international communication route, the Chinese government was determined to launch a winter offensive to drive the Japanese army out of Guinan.Second, to review the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army and strike at the living forces of the Japanese army.In accordance with the Chinese army's second-phase operational policy against Japan, each theater has taken turns to reorganize and train its subordinate units.By October 1939, the first and second phases of training were completed, and the combat effectiveness of the troops had greatly increased, and they were ready for the first battle.At the same time, the Chongqing government believed that the Japanese army had "fought on all sides, prepared many forces, and was in a dilemma when it came to invading China."
In order to strike at the effective forces of the Japanese army and to smash the Japanese army's attempt to contain China and nourish the war with war, all theaters should "simultaneously exert their might and turn the offensive."
Third, prevent the establishment of Wang's puppet regime.On December 29, 1938, the traitor Wang Jingwei issued a "Yandian" in response to the Japanese government's third Konoe statement aimed at recruiting the Chinese government, and openly threw himself into the arms of the Japanese invaders.After that, Wang and his traitors were in full swing and actively prepared for the establishment of a puppet government, in a vain attempt to compete with the Chongqing government.Wang Jingwei's defection to the enemy and treason caused division and chaos within China, and also "had a great impact on the morale of the people behind enemy lines."
The Chongqing government was determined to launch a winter offensive, in large part to prevent the formation of Wang's puppet government.Fourth, we need to enlist more foreign aid.After the outbreak of the "77 Incident," various peace-loving countries in the world issued declarations and speeches one after another, condemning the war of aggression against China launched by Japanese militarism, and some countries even extended a helping hand to China.China could contain Japan in the Far East, and the Soviet government provided China with a large amount of weapons and equipment and several large credit loans, worth 2.500 million US dollars, and sent pilots directly to China to participate in the war, giving important help in the early days of China's Anti-Japanese War.Later, due to changes in the international situation, after the Zhang Gufeng and Nomenkan incidents, the Soviet Union and Japan signed a non-aggression pact, and the Soviet government terminated its aid to China.After the "July 7 Incident," the British and American governments only morally condemned Japan's aggressive acts, but did not provide assistance to China, nor did they stop selling strategic materials to Japan.Later, because Japan no longer recognized the "open door" policy, British and American interests in China were greatly harmed, and out of consideration for their own interests, the British and American governments became more and more stern toward Japan.At the same time, the British and American governments realized that only by supporting China in continuing to resist Japan could Japan have no time to worry about anything else and ensure that it would not be attacked.As a result, assistance to China has been enhanced.For example, on November 15, 1938, the U.S. government granted me a credit loan of $25 million.
On December 16, the British government granted me the first credit loan of £450,000; On December 29, the British government granted me a second credit loan of 500,000 pounds; On March 8, 1939, the British government borrowed £10 million from the Balance Fund; Wait a minute.In order to demonstrate to the international community that the Chinese government is determined to fight to the end and to win more foreign aid, the Chinese government is determined to launch a winter offensive.In mid-November 1939, the Chongqing Supreme Command issued combat missions to all theaters: "1.
The First Theater: Attack Kaifeng, fraternity, and contain the enemy.2.
The Second Theater of Operations: The communication between the Zhengtai and Tongpu railways should be cut off first, and the enemy in the southern Jinnan triangle should be eliminated.3.
The Third Theater of Operations: With the main force of about 11 divisions, cut off the Yangtze River communications, divide them into Hukou, Madang, Dongliu, Guichi, Datong, Tongling, and Digang, attack in a gap, break through the river bank in one fell swoop, and occupy a solid position; and to blockade the Yangtze River with light and heavy firepower and laying mines.Fourth, the fourth theater: should use a camera to attack Chao and Shan, and the main force should sweep the enemy on Guangjiu Road and Nanning.5.
The Fifth War Zone: sweep away the enemy between Xinyang and Wuhan in the southern section of the Pinghan Line, and advance into Hankou; and attacked the enemy on the Hanyi Highway and cut off the traffic between the Xianghua and Hanyi Highways.6.
Eighth Theater: One division should be used to coordinate with the second theater of operations, and the main force should attack the enemy near Guisui.7.
The 9th Theater: Attack the enemy in the northern section of Guangdong and Han, focusing on the areas of Puqi and Xianning, and advance to Wuchang; At the same time, they attacked the Nanchang and Nanxun railways, and attacked the enemies of Ruichang and Jiujiang.8.
The 10th War Zone: still serving as the original river defense; And according to the progress of the attack in the southern triangle of Jin, he prepared to cross the river to expand the results of the battle.9.
Lusu Theater: Attack from east and west to Tai'an, Lincheng, Tongshan, and Chuxian from a wide front, so as to cope with the operations along the river.10.
Jicha Theater: The main force should be used to cut off the enemy's communications between Baoding, Xingtai and Shimen; The first section cut off the enemy's communications near Cangxian and Dexian in order to prepare for the operation on the Shanxi front."
