Rebirth: I am in Jin-Cha-Ji

Of course, Division One was the strongest, had the most troops, and therefore had the most divisions. However, Division One always took away half of the military region's goodies. This was something Huang Yong could not accept.

Although the Hebei-Central Military Region is still the strongest, the Hebei-Shandong Military Region is not weak either.

It is still uncertain who will be able to take Baoding.

Chapter 561 Wei Hongjun's Suggestions

Both Yang Quanwu and Huang Yong are a headache for Coach Nie.

Look at Huang Yong's smug look and Yang Quanwu's expressionless face.

But Marshal Nie could see through their ulterior motives. Both men wanted Baoding, but Huang Yonglu was unyielding and spoke directly. Yang Quanwu was more confident.

Although Huang Yong was very arrogant after becoming the commander of the Hebei-Shandong Military Region.

But in terms of real strength, the Ji-Lu Military Region cannot compare to the Yi-Zhong Military Region. This is because the core troops of the Ji-Zhong Military Region are all from the first division, and their own foundation and strength are much stronger than the third and fourth divisions of the Yi-Lu Military Region.

The two men were so at odds with each other that Marshal Nie had no other choice. Both had achieved fame at a young age and were renowned for their military exploits, so neither was willing to yield to the other.

Looking at Yang Quanwu and Huang Yong, then looking at Zhao Lu of the Chasui Military Region and Guo Tianmin of the Yanbei Military Region, they are much more pleasing to the eye. Although these two people are not easy to deal with, especially Guo Tianmin, who is also a proud master in the Yanbei Military Region.

When Deng Guo went to take up his post in the Jireliao Military Region, he wanted to discuss things with Guo Tianmin.

Bring your old unit, the 6th Regiment, over there.

As a result, Guo Tianmin refused outright.

Wanting to snatch the troops from Guo Tianmin? What a joke! As a result, when Deng Guo went to the Ji-Re-Cha Military Region, he only took a few cadres from the Fifth Division. The Sixth Regiment, a direct line of guerrillas, could only stay in the Yanbei Military Region.

Even so, compared to Yang Quanwu and Huang Yong, they were much better. Then, looking at Deng Guo and Li Fangqi from the Yi-Re-Liao Military Region, and Wang Qiuyun and Wei Hongjun from the Ji-Re-Cha Military Region, I felt much better. The lack of these two actually had a bigger problem.

Because there were troops from the 8th Column and troops from Jidong in the Rehe area at the time, when the Jin-Cha-Ji region was established, the Ji-Re-Cha Military Region and the Ji-Re-Liao Military Region were established. Both regions had the word "Re" in their names, meaning Rehe.

And there is no clear dividing line.

If Yang Quanwu and Huang Yong were here, I don’t know what would happen.

I guess we'll be fighting every day.

However, after the establishment of the Jireliao Military Region and the Jirecha Military Region, the relationship between the two military regions was very friendly. Not only did they not have any conflicts over the base areas, but they even cooperated well with each other on a regular basis.

This is even the case in eastern Hebei.

Currently, the Ji-Re-Cha Military Region controls Ji County, which logically also belongs to Jidong. However, the Ji-Re-Liao Military Region has not demanded that the Ji-Re-Cha Military Region give up Ji County. Instead, the two military regions regard Ji County as the dividing line between them.

During normal times of war, the two families would meet in Ji County to discuss issues.

When necessary, troops from the Jirecha Military Region would enter Jidong to cooperate with the Jireliao Military Region in fighting. Sometimes, troops from the Jireliao Military Region would also enter the Jirecha Military Region to fight alongside the 9th Brigade.

It would be great if everything were like this.

Marshal Nie felt much better as he looked at the leaders of the two military regions. He said, "The goal of the Hebei-Rehe-Liaoning Military Region and the Hebei-Rehe-Chahar Military Region for the next year is to completely eliminate the Japanese and puppet troops in Rehe and gain complete control of Rehe. Judging from the current situation, central and western Rehe have been abandoned by the Kwantung Army. The Kwantung Army has not sent any troops into Rehe. The North China Front Army has no troops to support Rehe."

"Commander, don't worry."

Deng Guo said, "Over the past year, the Japanese and puppet troops in Rehe have been short of food and ammunition. We were just worried that a strong attack would cause too many casualties, so we have been surrounding them. Previously, they had some channels for transporting food and ammunition. But after the Yi-Re-Cha Military Region captured Chifeng, the communication channels between the Kwantung Army and the Japanese and puppet troops in Rehe were completely cut off. Now the Japanese and puppet troops are short of food, and even ammunition for fighting. Our Ji-Re-Liao Military Region and Ji-Re-Cha Military Region will unite and completely wipe out the Japanese and puppet troops here within a year."

Deng Guo is also proud.

But in terms of advancing and retreating, he did much better than Yang Quanwu and Huang Yong.

Talking is beautiful.

In fact, the Ji-Re-Liao Military Region was the first to sever ties between the Northeast and Rehe. Transportation around Chengde was completely controlled by the Ji-Re-Liao Military Region. The Kwantung Army in the Northeast, whether from Chaoyang or Shanhaiguan, controlled the railways and highways connecting Chengde. Some railways and highways remained open, but the Japanese and puppet troops did not dare to leave.

Because any Japanese and puppet army transport vehicles passing through here would eventually be ambushed by the troops of the Jireliao Military Region.

On the contrary, the Hebei-Rehe-Chahar Military Region failed to control Chifeng.

Therefore, the Kwantung Army was allowed to pass through the Chaoyang-Chifeng highway to support the Japanese and puppet troops in Rehe. However, Deng Guo did not praise himself at all, but instead highlighted the fact that the Hebei-Rehe-Chahar Military Region took Chifeng.

And leave room for yourself when speaking.

This meant that the Japanese and puppet troops in Rehe would be defeated within a year. In fact, according to the current situation, the Hebei-Rehe-Liaoning Military Region and the Hebei-Rehe-Chahar Military Region had an absolute advantage in Rehe. Especially after the Chifeng Campaign annihilated the main force of the Japanese and puppet troops in Rehe, the remaining Japanese and puppet troops, while numerous, were all the so-called independent guard units newly formed by the Kwantung Army.

The combat effectiveness is very poor.

There was also a shortage of food and ammunition.

But Deng Guo was a man of few words. It was precisely because of this character that he was highly regarded by Marshal Nie. Even after being driven out by the Ji-Re-Liaoning Advancing Army, he stubbornly remained in the Jin-Cha-Ji region. Later, even at the cost of offending Xiao Zijing, Deng Guo was assigned to the Ji-Re-Liaoning Military Region as commander. This was because Deng Guo not only had a strong sense of the overall situation, but also handled matters with greater maturity than other Jin-Cha-Yi-Ji cadres.

The same was true during the Korean War in history.

Between Deng Guo and Huang Yong, the Military Commission finally chose Deng Guo to join North Korea.

Even Wei Hongjun had to admit that Deng Guo possessed considerable personal charisma. Otherwise, when the Pingxi Detachment was established, so many people wouldn't have left with him. Especially the cadres and students from the Political Department, who all followed Deng Guo out. This infuriated Yang Quanwu immensely.

If only his old leader, Yang Quanwu, had possessed Deng Guo's personality and temperament. Given his background in the Double First Army and his contributions during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he wouldn't have suffered so much. After his return, Marshal Nie strongly supported him to become the Chief of the General Staff, but it didn't work out.

"Comrade Wang Qiuyun, Comrade Wei Hongjun, where are you in the Hebei-Rehe-Chahar Military Region?"

"Commander, please rest assured. Our Ji-Re-Cha Military Region will not hold back and will definitely annihilate the Japanese and puppet troops in Rehe."

Wang Qiuyun answered immediately and loudly.

Although it was not his first time to attend the Jin-Cha-Ji Conference, Wang Qiuyun was still very proud to be able to sit on an equal footing with so many former leaders.

Marshal Nie was very satisfied with the statements made by Deng Guo and Wang Qiuyun.

If Yang Quanwu and Huang Yong were like them, Coach Nie would definitely have less worries.

"Commander, I want to say a few words.

"Comrade Wei Hongjun, please speak."

During the Red Army period and the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, Marshal Nie was completely unaware of Wei Hongjun. Later, when the Eighth Column emerged as a new force, Marshal Nie only had admiration for Wei Hongjun.

After "fighting side by side" in Yan'an, Wei Hongjun became a trustworthy comrade in the eyes of Marshal Nie.

So the attitude towards Wei Hongjun became much better.

Wei Hongjun said, "Commander, the Japanese army is already very weak. We annihilated the 21st Independent Guard Unit of the Japanese Army in Chifeng. Later investigations revealed that there were even many children as young as fifteen or sixteen, and many over forty years old. This shows how poor the current Independent Guard Unit's situation is, and how depleted its manpower is. Later, through interrogation, we discovered that the newly formed units of the Kwantung Army were all in the same situation. The Kwantung Army is now depleted of manpower, so it has drawn troops from the Japanese reclamation group. The Kwantung Army is now desperate and has no regard for the quality of its recruits. Anyone who is about five feet tall, regardless of age, and can handle a gun and fight will be recruited. I think the Kwantung Army's current practices are similar to the National Army's conscription of able-bodied men. How can such captured men be combat-ready? They don't even have the will to fight."

"Yes, the Japanese are at their wit's end. If we give us time, we can capture Baoding and Shijiazhuang.

Huang Yong agreed with Wei Hongjun's words.

Huang Yong is not only interested in Baoding, but also Shijiazhuang.

As long as his Jilu Military Region finally captured Shijiazhuang and Baoding, he would no longer be dominated by Yang Quanwu. However, Huang Yong was a warrior, not a reckless man. He also observed the situation of the Japanese army.

After the Japanese army launched Operation No. 1, the Hebei-Shandong Military Region also dispatched a large force to sweep the Japanese and puppet army strongholds in the base area.

He saw the weak nature of the Japanese army.

This can be seen from the age of the Japanese army's recruits. In the past, except for officers, all soldiers in the Japanese army were around 20 years old. Later, the age limit was relaxed, and many soldiers were in their 30s.

By the time the security division was formed, many soldiers in the unit were in their thirties.

Later, the Japanese army formed independent guards, and the number of soldiers aged 16 or 17, and 37 or 38 increased. When the Japanese army formed independent guards again this time, many of the soldiers were in their 40s.

This is a very clear signal.

That is when the Japanese army's manpower began to dry up.

Wei Hongjun waited for Huang Yong to finish speaking before continuing, “From the intelligence we have now, we know that the Japanese situation in the Pacific battlefield is not good.

Including on the battlefield in Southeast Asia, the Japanese army also suffered counterattacks from the British army.

To support the Pacific War, the Japanese Army continuously drew troops from the Chinese battlefield. Since the China Expeditionary Force couldn't withdraw troops, they began to draw troops from the Kwantung Army on a large scale. Now the Kwantung Army is expanding the puppet Manchukuo Army, which is a very clear signal. That is, the Kwantung Army has already felt a serious shortage of manpower, which is why it has expanded the puppet Manchukuo Army on such a large scale. So I think now is a good opportunity. The Kwantung Army is short of manpower, and the puppet Manchukuo Army is expanding massively, which is when the Northeast is in chaos. We should gradually send personnel to the Northeast to serve as outposts for the large forces to enter the Northeast in the future. We should even send small units into the Northeast to slowly open up some small rural bases and explore the way for the large forces.

The timing is good now.

Because the Kwantung Army had withdrawn too many troops to the south, it had been constantly forming new units to maintain its strength. Unfortunately, the combat effectiveness of these newly formed units was very poor. In order to maintain their rule in the Northeast, the only way was to expand the puppet Manchukuo Army and puppet police.

Unfortunately, in such turbulent times, what is least lacking is smart people.

Especially those traitors.

Which of those traitorous leaders was not once a prominent figure in the local area? As the saying goes, "a duck knows first when the river water warms in spring." The Japanese army's current situation is deteriorating. Besides opponents like the Eighth Route Army, the puppet troops aiding the Japanese army were the first to feel this.

For example, the puppet Manchukuo army had poor combat effectiveness and was unwilling to fight hard on the battlefield.

Now that you Japanese are almost dying, do you still expect these puppet Manchukuo troops and puppet police to work for Japan?

The more the Japanese expanded the Manchukuo army and police, the more they felt their forces were about to collapse. This was a vicious cycle. The Kwantung Army needed to maintain order in Northeast China, but they lacked their own troops. So, they had no choice but to expand the Manchukuo army and police. However, seeing this situation, the Manchukuo army and police knew the Japanese were about to collapse, and they became less and less diligent in their work. This only exacerbated the chaos in the region, leaving the Kwantung Army with no choice but to continue expanding the Manchukuo army and police.

Historically, the puppet Manchukuo army expanded from 1945 to people to about when it surrendered in . This was due to this reason.

Furthermore, the puppet Manchukuo army and police were already quite ineffective. Many units were annihilated in Rehe and eastern Hebei. While the puppet Manchukuo army may have a nominal strength of 50,000 to 60,000 troops, its actual strength is only around 30,000. If you were to suddenly expand it by 100,000 or so, how could such a force be considered effective?

Even the Japanese army compromised with the bandits.

Give the bandits regular organization.

Wherever these bandits arrive, they become a nuisance.

Now is the best time to send staff and small troops to establish a base.

Marshal Nie thought for a moment and said, "During the Seventh National Congress, the Central Committee began considering the Northeast issue. I support your idea of ​​sending work teams and small units into the Northeast as a vanguard. However, the specifics of how you will proceed are up to the Jirecha Military Region and the Jireliao Military Region. However, you must clearly demarcate the base areas for development in the Northeast and avoid conflicts between yourselves."

"Yes."

Chapter 562 Classification Japanese

The meeting lasted for several hours and was temporarily adjourned.

Marshal Nie, on behalf of the Jin-Cha-Ji Central Bureau and the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region, read out the Central Committee's orders. At the same time, he issued the Jin-Cha-Ji Central Bureau and the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region's requirements for the various secondary military regions below.

At the meeting, leaders of all second-level military regions expressed their views.

However, the specific plan still needed to be discussed. So the meeting was adjourned, and the cadres from each military region were asked to go back and discuss it among themselves, and then report on the specific plans.

Wei Hongjun stayed in the meeting room.

A "Screening of Japanese Troops and Japanese Nationals" document was handed to Marshal Nie.

proposal.

Marshal Nie flipped through it, then handed it to Luo Qirong, Cheng Zhihua, and the others beside him. He looked at Wei Hongjun and said, "I understand the general idea. But you should still explain your ideas to us in detail in person."

Marshal Nie looked very serious.

Because the report submitted by Wei Hongjun is quite informative.

Many of the things were very forward-looking, so their expressions were very solemn. Wei Hongjun said, "Commanders, after we captured Chifeng this time, a serious incident occurred. That was the massacre of Japanese expatriates by the surrendered puppet troops."

It is indeed very serious.
