    This meeting of the Shandong Guerrilla Corps lasted for two and a half days. In addition to making extensive adjustments to the organization of the army, Li Guoyao also made complete arrangements for the army's operations in the next three months.

    According to Li Guoyao¡¯s order, in the next three months, the main task of each base area is not to fight, but to expand troops and prepare for war.

    At present, all the troops of the Shandong Guerrilla Corps add up to more than 20,000 people, and there is still a shortfall of about 20,000 people before the army is fully established. Therefore, the most urgent task of each unit is to recruit troops.

    Secondly, the expansion of the army requires weapons and equipment, military uniforms and cotton-padded clothes, and a large amount of food. Although the headquarters has a lot of inventory, it is not enough to arm so many troops at once, so some things need to be solved by each army.

    According to Li Guoyao's prediction, the Japanese army will not launch a large-scale attack on the Shandong Guerrilla Corps in the short term. At most, they will send troops to retake the occupied counties in southwestern Shandong.

    ¡°After all, troops must be prepared for combat. Without sufficient preparation, the Japanese army will not act rashly unless it is a last resort.

    ¡°However, with the strength of the Japanese army in North China, it can be ready in three months at most. Therefore, for the Shandong Guerrilla Corps and all the anti-Japanese armed forces in Shandong, there is only three months to prepare.

    In fact, it is almost as expected by Li Guoyao. At this time, the entire China Expeditionary Forces Headquarters is in a state of panic. What gives General Nishio Hiszo a headache is not only the resistance of the Chinese army and the repeated mistakes of the Imperial Japanese Army, but also those that caught people off guard.  international disputes.

    A few days ago, 12 bombers from the Kaohsiung Air Force of the Israeli Navy and Air Force took off from here to bomb the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway Bridge near Mengzi, Yunnan.  When bombing the iron bridge under repair on the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway, the Japanese bombed a running train, killing not only many Chinese and Vietnamese, but also five Frenchmen.

    This railway was originally owned by France. At that time, most of the daily necessities, production equipment, and military equipment shipped into China from the United Kingdom and the United States were transported directly through this road.  After the Japanese bombing, France lodged a serious protest with the Japanese government on the grounds that Japan violated its rights and killed five citizens.

    Immediately afterwards, the United States and the United Kingdom also successively lodged protests and demanded compensation against Japan for ignoring international public laws and infringing on its rights and interests.

    Because Japan is close to the rights and interests of France, Britain, and the United States in South Asia and pursues treacherous diplomacy, it shirks the demands of the United States, Britain and other countries.

    In addition, when the 9th Brigade of the 5th Division invaded Longzhou some time ago, they transported American supplies back, burned them, and put them into the water without distinguishing between green, red, soap, and white, which has caused tensions in the relationship between Japan and the United States.  , which caused a headache for the Japanese military leaders.

    In addition, what gives General Nishio Hiszo a headache is the resistance of the Chinese army. Originally, according to the wishes of the base camp, the troops will be gradually withdrawn from China at the end of this year. There is no way, the domestic economy is really unable to support it.

    The secret negotiations with the Chinese government did not go smoothly. It is true that the military offensive could not achieve the goal of making the Chinese government surrender, and the political negotiations had no hope. On the contrary, under this situation, the Chinese army's counterattack became more and more fierce.

    After investigation, it was found that not counting those unconquered areas, there were hundreds of thousands of national troops operating in the areas occupied by the Japanese army in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui alone. These troops were all operating in the hinterland of the Japanese army.

    For example, in northern Jiangsu, the currently identified Chinese armies include the 33rd Division and the 117th Division of Li Shouwei's 89th Army adapted from local forces; a total of 10 security brigades from the 1st to the 10th in Jiangsu Province, and Wengda's independent brigades.  6th Brigade; the 1st to 11th guerrilla columns of the 2nd Guerrilla Zone in Northern Jiangsu of the Lusu War Zone with Li Mingyang as the commander-in-chief and Li Changjiang as the deputy commander-in-chief; Chen Taiyun's guerrilla column and Nantong Security Brigade adapted from the Tax Police Corps, etc.  .

    In the area from southern Anhui, southern Jiangsu, west of Huangshan to the east coast of Poyang Lake, there are Liu Yuqing's 21st Army and Fan Ziying's 50th Army under the 23rd Group Army with Tang Shizun as commander-in-chief.

    From the east of Huangshan to the Tianmu Mountain, Xiaofeng, Anji, Changxing, and Wuxing areas in northern Zhejiang, there is Zhang Wenqing's 25th Army located near Ningguo, Jingde, Xuancheng, and Jingxian under the 37th Group Army with Shangguan Yunxiang as commander-in-chief;  Those in the Xiaofeng, Anji, Wukang, Changxing, Wuxing and Yixing areas are the 62nd Division, 63rd Division and 192nd Division of Tao Guang's 28th Army.

    The 62nd Division, commanded by Tao Liu, often moves to the south of Taihu Lake in northern Zhejiang, north of Hangzhou, east of Wukang, and west of Jiaxing, Shanshan and Linghu Town; Shuanglin Town, Shanlian, and Xinxi? Town, Shiwan, Wulin and other plain water network areas.

    The 63rd Division, commanded by Chen Guangzhong, moved to Yixing, Liyang in southern Jiangsu, Zhulin to the west of Jintan County, and the Zhixi Bridge area in the northwest.

    There is still a special agent force in the 3rd theater, which is called the "Loyalty and National Salvation Army". This force has several detachments, mainly operating in the peripheral areas of Shanghai. The activity areas of each detachment are: Songhu Military Special Mission  Troops led by member Cai Xisheng were active near Shanghai.  Yu Taosheng's third detachment operates in the Huanglou, Jiangzhen, Liuzao, Zhuqiao and Nanhui areas of Chuansha County in southeast Shanghai.  Li Zhiming's 1st Detachment and Sun Shulun's 6th Detachment were active in the Luhui, Tairi, Xiaotang, Qixianqiao, Sanguantang, and Qianqiao areas near Fengxian, south of Shanghai.

    There is Xu Xi¡¯s Nanjing Action Corps near Nanjing. When this unit attacked the puppet Jiangpu County government at night, they killed the puppet county magistrate Zhang Yue and his wife and more than 20 puppet county policemen.

    When the above detachments of the Loyalty and National Salvation Army were operating in major cities such as Shanghai, Wuxi, Suzhou, Nanjing and near major transportation lines, behind them were the 28th Army of the 3rd Theater and the 1st Advancing Column (Qiu Yulin) advancing to the 2nd.  The column (Leng Xin, active in the Lishui area) serves as support.

    In addition, the most troublesome thing for General Nishio Hiszo was undoubtedly the New Fourth Army operating along the Yangtze River and in southern and central Anhui. In 1939, this army continued to advance eastward and northward, going deep behind enemy lines and opening up new anti-Japanese base areas.  In this year's battles, the New Fourth Army was most prominent in defending Fanchang and attacking the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway.

    According to the combat area designated by the 3rd war zone, Fanchang belongs to the defense area of ??the New Fourth Army, and Tan's 3rd detachment is stationed there.  The 15th Division of Yoshio Iwamatsu in Nanjing attacked Fanchang five times in January, February, May, November, and December of 1939, but was eventually defeated by the 3rd detachment and local armed forces.  repel.

    During this period, the 2nd Detachment sank a Japanese warship in Dongmendu, killing more than 20 enemies.  The first detachment to the west of Zhenjiang destroyed about 3 kilometers of railways from Nanjing to Zhenjiang at Cangtou and Gaozi, and cut off about 15 kilometers of communication wires. Another detachment destroyed the highway from Nanjing to Jurong.  About 15 kilometers, 5 bridges were blown up.

    In addition, the 2nd Battalion of the 2nd Regiment of a detachment ambushed 22 Japanese vehicles heading from Nanjing to Jurong in the Qilinmen area near Xiaolingwei east of Nanjing. As a result, 22 Japanese soldiers were killed and 5 of their vehicles were destroyed.

    According to statistics from the China Dispatch Forces Headquarters, in just one year, New Fourth Army detachments in Jiangnan, Jiangbei, southern and eastern Henan fought 764 times with the Japanese army, killing and wounding 11,259 Japanese soldiers, and capturing 751 people. The New Fourth Army itself suffered 3,860 casualties.  The people include 20 cadres above the regiment level.

    ¡°In view of the fact that the enemy situation in China is already quite complex, it is difficult to meet the demand with the existing strength of China¡¯s dispatched troops, especially when it is necessary to maintain considerable military pressure on the Chinese government. It is even more difficult to maintain.

    Therefore, after discussing with Chief of Staff Seishiro Itagaki and others, Nishio Juzo decided to continue to seek help from the country, request the base camp to suspend the withdrawal plan, and once again issue a national mobilization order to recruit and form more new troops to maintain the situation on the Chinese battlefield.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
