    "In fact, how could Yamada Otsuzo and others imagine that the main reason why Li Guoyao's troops expanded so quickly was that they seized the loopholes of the Kwantung Army.

    In order to plunder China's mineral resources and other materials, the Japanese transported a large number of national army prisoners from the customs and forced a large number of local people to work for them in the form of deception and abduction.

    In order to gain a foothold in the Northeast, the Japanese used bayonets and sticks to seize the houses and fields of local people, turning each Chinese village into their collective tribe.

    All these will cause serious dissatisfaction among the Chinese people, and the atrocities committed by the Japanese army will also stimulate the hatred of the Chinese people against them. Therefore, when Li Guoyao took action, he did not attack the large and medium-sized cities occupied by the Japanese army, nor even the county towns, but first  Go attack those coal mines, forest farms and other companies and factories controlled by the company. In addition, attack the group tribes occupied by Japanese expatriates.

    This not only dealt a blow to the Japanese, but also saved a large number of ordinary people.

    ¡°Almost the vast majority of these Chinese people are full of hatred for the Japanese, and most of them are homeless.

    Especially those prisoners of war who were transported from the customs. Their homes may be thousands of miles away in Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan, and even Yunnan, Guizhou and other places. They are thousands of miles apart. They have no way to go back. The only way  The place where he went was to join the army, fight against the Japanese and the Japanese, and return to the Japanese all the injustice and abuse he suffered in the prisoner of war camp.

    Because of this, after Li Guoyao's troops invaded the hinterland of the Puppet Manchuria, their military strength increased significantly. The speed was so fast that even Li Guoyao himself was a little shocked, let alone the Japanese side.

    Of course, the reason why Li Guoyao's department developed so rapidly was inseparable from the support of the troops inside the pass and the Soviet Union.

    The Temporary Ninth Army in Guanhai has a relatively complete training mechanism for officers and non-commissioned officers, and continuously transfers outstanding officers and non-commissioned officers to various units in the Northeast. When necessary, even officers from active duty units are transferred away on an organizational basis.

    Although this greatly weakened the combat effectiveness of the Jiujiu Army, it ensured the development of the Northeast Army.

    Secondly, the Ninth Army has established arsenals in Guisui and Datong. Especially this time, the troops made a surprise attack on Taiyuan and captured a large Japanese arsenal in Taiyuan, including workers, equipment and some raw materials.

    After that, the arsenal was immediately dismantled and moved to Datong, where a factory was built and production resumed.

    Although it is a bit fiddly, it guarantees safety.

    ¡°At present, the Ninth Army is completely self-sufficient in ammunition and light weapons, which has also provided assistance to the development of various units in the Northeast.

    Then there is the assistance from the Soviet Union. In addition to the equipment of the first six divisions, in view of the excellent performance of Li Guoyao's troops in the Puppet Manchuria, the equipment of the additional ten divisions from the Soviet side has also been transported to Xilinhot and successively provided for the new troops.  Dress up.

    With enough soldiers and weapons and equipment, it will be difficult for the army not to develop!

    It was precisely with such a growing military force that Li Guoyao dared to open battlefields in the border areas of the Kwantung Army and the hinterland of the Puppet Manchuria at the same time. This was his confidence and his capital.

    Anyway, in Li Guoyao's view, it is now less than a year before Japan unconditionally surrenders. Even pushing forward, it is less than eleven months before the Soviet Red Army sends troops to Northeast China. At this time, it is completely possible to launch a counterattack.

    At this time, not only the Chinese battlefield, but also the entire world anti-fascist war entered the counter-offensive stage and achieved great success.

    Especially in the last two weeks of August 1944, the "Fortress Europe" planned by Mustache Hitler seemed to be about to completely collapse.

    To the west, the British and American troops, led by General Eisenhower, had broken out of the Normandy bridgehead and crossed the fields of northern France, pursuing the Germans with all their strength.

    To the south, French and American troops landed on the Riviera on August 15 and began advancing west and north at an exciting pace.

    The same was true in Italy, where the Allied pursuit of the Germans continued, albeit slowly.

    On the other side of the Adriatic Sea, Tito's guerrillas, with the assistance of a small number of British troops, had cleared most of the coastal areas of Yugoslavia, and the German communication lines inland were constantly harassed.

    Especially in the east, the Red Army launched a powerful offensive on August 20 and invaded Romania.

    Just three days later, King Michael launched an armed coup. As a result, by August 25, the Romanian army was fighting alongside the Red Army to attack the Germans.

    The middle part of the quantitative front is relatively flatQuietly, only the Polish National Army and the German Wehrmacht were engaged in a desperate battle in Warsaw.  On the Finnish front, there was no preparation for large-scale operations.

    But then the Finns took the initiative to start armistice negotiations, and then the Bulgarian government announced that it would remain neutral in the war from now on.

    By the end of August, the Germans had to intervene in Hungary and change the government to prevent a similar betrayal.

    So, in just ten days, some of Hitler's most valuable allies in Eastern Europe abandoned him.  The fragmentation of German defenses in the southeast created large gaps that allowed the Red Army to penetrate into the Balkans and across the Carpathians into central Europe.  France was also lost, and Germany's borders were in danger.

    Under these circumstances, it seems likely that Germany will collapse before the end of the year, and even if it doesn't, it won't be able to hold on for too long.

    Of course, the Allied victory in Europe also exposed some internal issues that had been covered up before. For example, Roosevelt and Churchill had a long-standing dispute over the occupation zones allocated to the United States and Britain respectively, and therefore were reluctant to accept their defeat in the war.  It was impossible to make detailed preparations for the subsequent administrative management of Germany.

    ¡° In addition to the great question about the future of Germany, the long-standing Polish problem also urgently needed to be solved due to the Warsaw Uprising.

    Furthermore, although the dispute between Britain and the United States on the French issue has been resolved, the aftermath is still lingering, especially among the French themselves.

    With regard to Italy and the Balkan countries, US and UK policies continue to diverge.

    ?Also across Europe, the Soviets and the British watched each other's actions uneasily.

    As the war with Germany seemed to be coming to an end, questions about the war with Japan became even more important.  As far as the "Grand Alliance" is concerned, the big question is how Britain and the Soviet Union will move their armies from Europe to the Far East through what channels, with how many troops, and under what chain of command.

    The cooperation between the allies in the Pacific, Myanmar, and China has never been as smooth and effective as in Europe. Various efforts to improve this situation have failed to get things on the right track.

    Although Lord Mountbatten was appointed Supreme Allied Commander in Southeast Asia in November 1943, frictions between the leaders of Britain, the United States and China continued.

    In the Pacific, the United States completely dominates everything, so that the issue of alliance relations takes a back seat, and what attracts the most attention is the competition between the U.S. Navy and Army.

    Therefore, it can be expected that after the fighting in Europe stops, the structure of Anglo-American economic integration will be at least partially fragmented. The United Kingdom is not fully prepared and cannot withstand such a blow. This puts the British in a serious dilemma.

    Under such circumstances, the more manpower and material resources the British government devoted to fighting Japan, the less force it could use to prepare for British economic independence and post-war stability.

    But on the other hand, if its contribution to defeating Japan is smaller, the less help and sympathy it can get from the United States during the difficult economic transition period in the future.

    The Soviet Union also faced a similar dilemma, although it was not as serious in comparison, because the Soviet Union's economy was never as completely dependent on the United States as the British economy.  However, the scale and speed with which the Soviets were able to enter the war against Japan depended, among other factors, on the delivery of Lend-Lease supplies.

    The more the Soviet Union contributed to the war against Japan, the less power it had available to restore its damaged economy.

    The last question that will test the sincerity and wisdom of the allies is how to formulate a long-term solution to international problems that can ensure peace and prosperity for the world after defeating Germany and Japan.

    Everyone realizes that to maintain peace, the major allies must agree on major policies.  Britain, the United States and Russia are all prepared for this kind of cooperation, but they all insist on doing so on their own terms, which is a source of trouble in the future.

    Under this circumstance, the United States, the Soviet Union, and Britain have held many consultations on how to resolve these issues. When the diplomatic departments are almost ready to discuss it, the Yalta Conference will be held naturally.

    For China, this meeting is no less than the Paris Peace Conference during World War I. It is the party that was betrayed. Therefore, it is very necessary for the troops to occupy a certain position in the Northeast before this, even if it has to pay a lot of money for it.  Li Guoyao felt that the price was worth it.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
