At the same time as the main force of the Northeast Military Region of the Eighth Route Army was attacking Suihua and other places on a large scale.The situation on the battlefield in Jinzhou has also undergone a fundamental change.Jinzhou was surrounded, and the Kwantung Army successively transferred more than 300,000 troops to support Jinzhou in an attempt to fight a decisive battle with the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Jinzhou.Faced with this situation, the leaders of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, after weighing the pros and cons, unanimously agreed that the time was not yet ripe for a large-scale decisive battle with the Japanese army, and Jinzhou was not an ideal decisive battlefield for the Eighth Route Army.Therefore, the main force of the Eighth Route Army immediately withdrew from Jinzhou, retreated to Chifeng, Chaoyang, Lingyuan and other places, and built a solid defensive line to resist the counterattack of the Japanese army.At this moment, the Eighth Route Army successively mobilized the main forces into Liaoning, making the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Liaoning more than 400,000 troops, which does not include the strength of the Seventh Column of the Eighth Route Army and the troops of the Northeast Military Region of the Eighth Route Army.If these forces are added, the total strength of the Eighth Route Army in the northeast region has exceeded 600,000.The Japanese concentrated the main forces and launched several tentative attacks on the main force of the Eighth Route Army, but all of them were routed by the Eighth Route Army.It was only at this moment that Yamada Otozo finally realized that the troops of the Eighth Route Army that had entered the northeast at this time had developed to the point where they were able to compete with the Kwantung Army, and it was probably not so simple to eliminate these Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop.Therefore, Yamada Otozo did not dare to launch an offensive rashly, and planned to launch a large-scale general attack after sufficient preparations, so as to completely destroy the main force of the Eighth Route Army that had entered the northeast region in one battle.Therefore, the Liaoning battlefield temporarily fell into a stalemate stage, and the Japanese army continued to mobilize troops and various strategic materials to the Liaoning side, preparing to launch a new round of offensive.Qiqihar, the seventh column of the Eighth Route Army, which is also the headquarters of the Northeast Military Region, Political Commissar Lu held a document in his hand and said excitedly: "In less than a week, we have recruited more than 30,000 new soldiers in Suihua and other counties, and after our army recovered Suihua and other places, the local people enthusiastically joined the army, and I estimate that according to this trend, we can recruit at least 30,000 new soldiers." ”Li Guotao smiled and nodded: "The Northeast region has been occupied by the Japanese invaders for many years, and the people of the Northeast have suffered greatly, especially in recent years, a large number of little devils have immigrated to the Northeast region, and the pioneer group of the little devils has seized the land of the local people.Before, the common people dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and even if they resisted, they were quickly suppressed by the local Japanese puppet forces.And now the situation is different, our Eighth Route Army has entered the northeast region in a big way, so that the people can see the hope, and the local people naturally rise up to resist and enthusiastically join the army. ”Political Commissar Lu smiled and nodded, and said: "Well, this opportunity is rare, take advantage of this opportunity, we can further expand our armed forces, so as to narrow the gap between our army and the Japanese army." ”Li Guotao nodded and said: "However, these newly recruited recruits cannot be directly put into the battlefield, and recruit training also takes time."
According to the plan of our headquarters, all the recruits will be concentrated in the vicinity of Qiqihar, and the teaching brigade will be responsible for unified training; although the current situation in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression is very good, we have not yet achieved any superiority, and we must not slack off in the slightest, and we must let the newly recruited recruits have combat effectiveness as soon as possible, so the work of training recruits still needs to be carried out quickly. ”"I will personally take care of the training of recruits, and I promise to train tens of thousands of excellent soldiers in the shortest possible time."
Political Commissar Lu swore an oath.Li Guotao smiled and said: "With the words of the political commissar, I can rest assured."
At present, the Japanese army has gathered more than 300,000 troops in Liaoning, and there is still a steady stream of little devils and various military supplies transported to the front line in Liaoning, and it seems that the Japanese army is preparing to launch a large-scale attack on the main force of our Eighth Route Army. ”Li Guotao lowered his head and glanced at the sand table as he spoke, and then continued: "Although our army is far away in Qiqihar and cannot give direct support to the main force, we can continue to launch an offensive against the Japanese army from Heilongjiang, try to contain the strength of the Japanese army, and fight against the main force in the Liaoning battlefield. ”Political Commissar Lu nodded with a serious face and said: "You are right, now the main force of our seventh column plus the main force of the Jilin Military Region and the Heilongjiang Military Region, as well as the anti-Japanese armed forces such as the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army in Heilongjiang, together have a total strength of nearly 200,000 people, such a strong strength, we can continue to launch a new round of offensive against the Japanese army to recover more lost territory." ”At this time, Ma Zhenguo held a telegram in his hand, hurriedly walked over, and said with a serious face: "I agree to continue to launch a new round of offensive against the Japanese army, and it must be done as soon as possible."
The news just received that although the Japanese army was constantly increasing its troops to Liaoning, it had not forgotten Heilongjiang.Just today, thousands of Japanese army reinforcements rushed to Baicheng, and it is estimated that they should be used to supplement the 1st Division and the 8th Division. ”Political Commissar Lu couldn't help frowning, and said with a serious face: "Not only the 1st Division and other divisions in the south, but also the 123rd Division and the 124th Division in the north have also been replenished a lot recently, and their strength has recovered.Most of these little devils who were supplemented were still local recruits from the Japanese Pioneer Corps. ”When Li Guotao heard this, his expression became serious, and he frowned and said: "In this way, we really should do it as soon as possible, it has been a week since the Suihua Battle ended, and I think the troops should be almost rested, and it is time to fight with the little devil again." ”Political Commissar Lu lowered his head and looked at the sand table, and said with a serious face: "I think that if you launch a new round of attack, Anda should be the first choice."
About 20,000 people of the 57th Division and Miyamoto Brigade of the Japanese Army in Anda County have been surrounded by our army for nearly three weeks, and the Japanese army has sent troops to support Anda, but they have also been repelled by our army. ”Li Guotao smiled and nodded and said: "Haha, it's really a hero, I also planned it this way, we have let this little devil of Anda live for more than 20 days, it's time to settle the ledger with them" aa2705221:
