Li Guotao lowered his head and looked at the sand table, and said with a serious face: "The 14th Division of the Japanese Army has arrived in Fuxin, and at present, our army only has a cavalry division and a teaching brigade in Fuxin.Our army's strategic intention has been achieved, and as for the recovery of Fuxin, we are not in a hurry at this time, so I ordered Guo Lihui and Su Xiufeng, let them retreat" "Yes" A staff officer next to him responded respectfully, and hurriedly turned around to convey the order.Li Guotao continued to stare at the sand table, touched his chin, and said to himself: "The Japanese army was completely defeated on the northern front, even if the 14th Division rushed to Fuxin, it should not dare to attack rashly. ”A staff officer of the Eighth Route Army hurriedly walked over and said with a respectful face: "Report to the commander, I just received a telegram from Deputy Commander Yang that after our armored division defeated the 57th Division of the Japanese army, it pursued and killed all the way, and now it has entered Changling County, and more than 10,000 Japanese troops have been annihilated in this battle. ”"Very good" Li Guotao nodded excitedly and said: "Inform Deputy Commander Yang and let them hurry up to clean up the battlefield, and then the troops will retreat to the area of Daxing Town to rest and wait." ”"Yes," the staff officer replied respectfully, and quickly turned to deliver the order.Until this moment, Li Guotao finally breathed a long sigh of relief, and this battle was basically over to this extent.The Japanese army's five-way siege of our base area was broken by our army one by one, the Japanese 21st Division, Takata Detachment, and Hasegawa Detachment were completely annihilated, the 21st Independent Mixed Brigade was almost completely annihilated, and the Japanese 1st Division, 7th Division, and 57th Division suffered heavy losses and heavy losses.The Japanese army lost more than 100,000 troops, and the puppet army lost more than 20,000 people.China's anti-Japanese base areas in northeast China have finally ushered in a period of steady development.The Northeast Military Region is a first-class military region directly under the leadership of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters.After the end of the anti-five-way siege, in accordance with the instructions of the General Headquarters, the Northeast Military Region soon established three second-level military regions directly under it, namely the Heilongjiang Military Region, the Jilin Military Region, and the Liaoning Military Region.The Heilongjiang Military Region has Yang Xuecheng as the commander, and the headquarters temporarily resides in Tongyu; The Jilin Military Region has Deputy Political Commissar Meng concurrently serving as the commander, and the headquarters is stationed in Shuangliao; The Liaoning Military Region is headed by Li Changsheng, and the headquarters is temporarily stationed in Zhangwu County.After the end of the anti-five-way siege, our army successively recovered Shuangliao and Zhangwu counties.According to the plan of the Northeast Military Region Command, each of the three second-level military regions will form an independent division.In addition, all military regions should also set up military sub-divisions one after another, with Tongliao as the center, and gradually radiate and develop into the three northeastern provinces to open up base areas.Under the personal auspices of Li Guotao, the Seventh Column successively organized nearly 100 armed engineering teams to go deep into the enemy-occupied areas of the three eastern provinces to liaise with the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army and other anti-Japanese armed forces of all stripes, so as to gradually develop and strengthen the anti-Japanese armed forces in the three northeastern provinces.These martial arts teams are like sparks, scattered all over the Northeast, gradually developing and growing, and eventually they will inevitably form a prairie fire.Since the 918 Incident, the three northeastern provinces have fallen into the hands of the Japanese invaders, and it has been a full decade now.However, our compatriots in Northeast China have never given up resistance and have always resisted the aggression of Japanese imperialism in various ways.Although in recent years, the Japanese army's rule in the northeast has gradually been consolidated, and the anti-Japanese armed forces mainly the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army have been severely damaged by the Japanese army.However, this time, the seventh column of the Eighth Route Army waved its division into the northeast, and won successive battles, and inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese army several times, which once again made the people of the northeast see hope.After the victory of the anti-five-way siege, a large number of compatriots in Northeast China could not bear the colonial rule of Japanese imperialism and flocked to Tongliao.Aspiring young people are even more active in joining the army, hoping to contribute to the War of Resistance.In just two months, the Seventh Column of the Eighth Route Army has recruited tens of thousands of recruits.As a result, the strength of our army has been significantly improved.At the same time, the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army, which had always adhered to the War of Resistance in the Northeast, and other anti-Japanese armed forces, also flocked to Tongliao after receiving the news, and joined hands with the Eighth Route Army to resist Japan.The anti-Japanese enthusiasm of the military and civilians in the northeast was high, and it gave favorable support to the seventh column of our Eighth Route Army, which made our anti-Japanese forces grow rapidly and grow.It is worth mentioning that during this time, the situation in Europe changed dramatically.On June 22, 1941, Nazi Germany openly tore up the Soviet-German non-aggression pact, and in accordance with the military plan codenamed Barbarossa drawn up in advance, dispatched 190 divisions, 3,700 tanks, 4,900 aircraft, 47,000 artillery pieces and 190 warships, a total of 5.5 million people, divided into three army groups, and launched a surprise attack on the Soviet Union in the form of blitzkrieg from the north, center, and south, and the Soviet-German war broke out.Although the Soviet Union had obtained information on the possible outbreak of war from various sources before the war, many of the information were contradictory, and the information on the specific time of the invasion was very different, so that the Soviet government did not know the specific time of the German invasion or even whether Germany would invade the Soviet Union.Prior to this, the Soviet Union was also actively preparing an offensive plan against Germany, known as the "Great Thunderstorm Plan", so the military deployment of the Soviet Red Army was aimed at offensive rather than defensive.Only a day before the start of the war, the Soviet High Command knew the exact timing of the German offensive, but it was too late.According to this thunderstorm plan, Soviet Russia was originally preparing to take the initiative to attack Germany on June 12, but due to insufficient preparation, the plan was delayed.As a result, unexpectedly, the Germans rushed ahead of Soviet Russia and launched an attack in advance, and the Russians were taken by surprise and suffered heavy losses.In the early days of the war, the Soviet Union suffered heavy losses, and the German army was overwhelming, penetrating hundreds of kilometers into the territory of the Soviet Union, occupying a large amount of territory and annihilating a large number of Soviet troops.By the end of the year, in just half a year, the Soviets had lost more than four million troops, most of which were annihilated by the Germans within a month or two of the first start of the war.The Luftwaffe claimed to have destroyed 1,489 Soviet warplanes on the first day of the invasion, while losing only 35 of its own.In fact, the losses of the Soviet Air Force in the first few days were even worse than the Germans had estimated, with a total of 3,922 aircraft destroyed in the first three days.In addition, the Soviet army only captured more than 2.4 million people, which shows the heavy losses of Soviet Russia in the early stage of the war.Germany's sudden attack on the Soviet Union further expanded the scope of World War II.Germany's successive victories in the European theater also greatly stimulated his ally Japan, and Japan's aggressive ambitions were further inflated.aa2705221:
