    On January 1, 1943, Li Guoyao held a high-level combat meeting in Datong. In addition to Li Guoyao himself, Xu Hu, Wang Zhanhai and others from far away in southern Hebei were also asked to attend.

    At eight o'clock in the morning, the meeting started on time!

    In the huge conference room, except for Li Guoyao, all the senior generals of the Ninth Army were present, including Jiang Feng, Li Jianxin and others who had not shown up.

    It can be said that this meeting is the most gathering of senior military officers since the division of troops in 1937.

    After everyone arrived, Li Guoyao immediately stood up and said: "Brothers, it has been six years since we broke out from Songjiang City in the winter of the 26th year of the Republic of China. In these six years, we have grown from dozens to hundreds to thousands of people.  As well as the hundreds of thousands of people now, only we know the hardships we have put in. Our unit has traveled thousands of miles, from the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River to the hills of Shandong, and now to the Loess Plateau. We have shed our lives and blood, and the blood of hundreds of thousands of heroes has been stained on the battlefield.  "

    "According to the statistics of the General Staff Department, starting from Nanjing City, a total of 116,428 people of our unit have been killed so far, and an additional 88,601 people have been disabled due to injuries and have to  Retired. They are all over China, including people from Sichuan, Hunan, Shanxi, Shandong, Qinghai, Ningxia, Zhejiang, and Yunnan."

    "Even if we are geographically different, we all have the blood of Yan and Huang flowing through us. Under the blue sky and white sun, and the red flag on the ground, we are all Chinese. We are worthy of the country, the nation, and our fathers, fellow villagers, and  This military uniform I¡¯m wearing.¡±

    Li Guoyao¡¯s words moved everyone present. As officers, their soldiers changed one after another. Some of them were promoted, but most of them were blood-stained battlefields and wrapped in horse leather.

    We all know that the army has suffered a lot of casualties over the years, but we did not expect that it would be so heavy. As many as 190,000 people were killed or seriously injured or disabled.

    ¡°This does not include those with minor injuries. If those people were included, the number might be even more astonishing.

    For a time, the atmosphere in the entire conference room was a bit solemn!

    However, at this moment, Li Guoyao changed his words, his voice suddenly rose, and he said loudly: "Brothers, the casualties are heavy, but our record is also amazing. In the past six years, we have fought with almost all Japanese troops at division level and above.  We have fought against each other, whether it was the arrogant Central China Expeditionary Force or the extremely powerful North China Front Army, we have fought them face to face, and not only one or two Japanese division-level troops were wiped out by us, but also the divisions that were killed  There are countless regiment leaders and brigade leaders, but all in all, our efforts are worth it.¡±

    "Today, I called you here mainly because I want to discuss with you the shift of the strategic center of gravity of the army to the north. I don't know what you think!"

    As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Tengjiao asked loudly: "Chief, what do you mean by moving the strategic center of gravity northward? Where has it been moved?"

    Li Guoyao said immediately: "Shifting the strategic focus northward is a concept I proposed before. Before, we have been fighting the Japanese and puppet troops in Shandong. Now we are confronting them in the Suicha area, but in the future I have decided to continue to shift the strategic focus.  Moving north, the target is our Northeast!"

    "Chief Commander, do you mean we should send troops to develop in the Northeast region?"

    "Not only that, the so-called strategic focus does not refer to the transfer of one or two regiments to the north, but from now on, the focus of military operations must be centered around one key point. All the human and financial resources of the military region will also be heavily tilted towards the troops in the Northeast.  And the only focus is to capture the Northeast and eliminate the Kwantung Army!"

    "Capture the Northeast? Destroy the Kwantung Army?"

    Everyone was stunned by Li Guoyao's words. In the middle of last year, Li Guoyao formally proposed the idea of ??returning to his hometown, and received the support of a large number of officers and soldiers of the former Northeast Army.

    But there is a fundamental difference between putting forward an idea and whether it can be implemented smoothly. No one expected that in just a short time, Li Guoyao would really advance to the northeast.

    "And no one thought that Li Guoyao's goal was so terrifying. He wanted to regain the entire Northeast and annihilate the Kwantung Army in the Northeast.

    As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Desheng said immediately: "Chief Commander, the Japanese army currently has nearly 30 divisions and a large number of affiliated troops deployed in the Northeast. The total strength is about 800,000, which does not include the hundreds of thousands of puppet Manchukuo.  The National Defense Forces and Jiang'an Army, plus these Japanese Japs, would probably have more than 1.1 million people. We now only have more than 100,000 people at full strength. There is a huge disparity in strength. I'm afraid it won't be easy to destroy the Kwantung Army."

    Li Guoyao cleared his throat and said: "According to our collectionThe intelligence received shows that the Japanese army has 15 main divisions stationed in the Northeast, and 8-10 third-class divisions can be assembled in a short period of time.  Including the dozen infantry divisions of the puppet Manchukuo, the total strength of the Japanese and puppet troops was between 800,000 and 1.1 million.  "

    "On the surface, the strength of the Japanese and puppet troops is indeed more terrifying than we imagined, but we also have our own considerations why we want to advance to the northeast. First of all, we have more than 100,000 combat troops.  . In addition, we still have a large number of people's support in the Northeast region, so we may not be able to fight."

    "Chief Commander, if we really decide to attack the Kwantung Army in the Northeast, it may be difficult for us to intervene in the battle within the Pass!" Xu Hu said.

    "We will definitely not all move northward in a short period of time, so we cannot relax in the battle within the pass!"

    Then Li Guoyao took out his own battle plan and said: "This is the Eastern Expedition plan I made. The whole plan is divided into three stages. The first stage consists of the cavalry group and Hastu Leng, Han Huriga, Ao Cheng and others.  With the main force, a total of 30,000 troops were mobilized from the Siziwang Banner and Bashang areas to go deep into the wake of the grassland to eliminate or completely drive out the strength of the puppet Mongolian autonomous government entrenched in Xilinhot and the eastern grasslands."

    "The second stage is to dispatch 20 regiments of elite troops, with the cooperation of cavalry troops, to the eastern grasslands. Then they will penetrate the entire Northeast region through Shuangliao, Baicheng and other places."

    "In the third stage, concentrate all your efforts to launch an attack on the Kwantung Army in the northeast region and annihilate them all!"

    After briefly talking about his plan, Li Guoyao asked in a deep voice: "What do you think?"

    As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Hu stood up and said, "Master, how sure are you of this battle?"

    "Eight points!"

    "Have you ever thought about it, if we fail, we"

    Li Guoyao stopped him and said: "If you lose, you will lose. Isn't our purpose of carrying guns to fight against the Japanese completely to drive the Japanese out of China? The opportunity is right in front of us, so why should we give up?"

    "That being the case, then, sir, please give the order!"

    Li Guoyao said loudly: "I decided to conduct a major reorganization of the existing troops, concentrate all the troops in the Suicha area, establish the legion's left-behind command, and appoint Xu Hu as the commander-in-chief of the left-behind troops, Jiang Feng as the deputy commander-in-chief, and Lu Zhanwu  As the chief of staff. The left-behind corps has jurisdiction over Xie Baojun's 194th Division, four independent brigades that were withdrawn from the Jiangnan area, the female soldier brigade, 12 regiments of second-line garrison troops, in addition to all county brigades, district squads and militia organizations, regular  The total strength of the combat troops is about 96,000."

    "The cavalry group was reorganized and upgraded from divisions and combat units to corps-level combat units. The establishment was expanded from the original five cavalry regiments to three cavalry divisions. Each cavalry division has three cavalry regiments, each regiment has 2,500 troops.  People, including the troops directly under the division, the total division has 9,500 people."

    "Appointed Lu Dashan as the commander-in-chief of the cavalry group, Chen Jianzhong and Han Huriga as deputy commanders, and Gu Mingtang as chief of staff. Appointed Ao Bi as the commander of the First Cavalry Division, and Hastu Leng as the deputy division commander. Appointed Wu Yunqi Qige  He was appointed commander of the 2nd Cavalry Division, and Hu Zhi was appointed deputy division commander. Chou Dafu was appointed commander of the 3rd Cavalry Division, and Wu Tian became deputy division commander."

    "I took the lead in establishing the Eastern Expedition Command, appointing Wang Zhanhai as deputy commander-in-chief and Ma Desheng as chief of staff. The command has jurisdiction over Zhang Tengjiao's 177th Division, Wen Debiao's Jiujiu Division, the Cavalry Group, the Independent Brigade and other units."

    "All troops will start preparations for the Eastern Expedition from now on. The preparation time will be one month. Before the spring, all troops must follow the orders of the headquarters and be ready for war!"
