~.-~     The People's Party armed forces are waiting for a favorable opportunity to fight against Pingjin, and the operation time and marching route of the five Kanto Army divisions just provided it with this opportunity.

On the evening of the 9th, at around 11 o'clock, Zhou Mingyuan came to Zhao Zhenzhong's office at the People's Army Headquarters excitedly, and smiled uncontrollably: "Old Zhao, the Japanese are ready to move! The old Japanese devil of Meijin decided to repair the passage through Gubeikou and prepare to enter the pass in three days! This is the newly deciphered telegram between Meijin and Okamura, and the telegram that Okamura ordered his subordinates to hold on for three days! It's time for us to do it!"

"Three days! The Japanese are quite anxious! Then let them be more anxious!" Zhao Zhenzhong hurriedly took the stack of telegrams and browsed them quickly. After clenching his fists excitedly, he then smiled, "It seems that the different bombings we carried out on the three passways are quite good! The Kwantung Army is indeed coming to Gubeikou!"

In order to force the Kwantung Army to choose the road to enter the pass according to the intention of the People's Party's armed forces, during the previous bombing, three aerial divisions from the Jinan War Zone carried out key bombings on the Beining Line from Jinxi to Hedong and the road to enter the pass through Xifengkou and Lengkou. However, the three aerial divisions from Yulin War Zone bombed the Gubeikou area at a brief moment. This also caused the degree of destruction of the three channels and the time required for repair was different, which in turn affected the choice of the Japanese army's road to enter the pass.

After pacing back and forth in the office for a few times and sorting out his ideas, Zhao Zhenzhong stood still and said to Zhou Mingyuan: "You record it, first send a call to the Jinan War Zone and order the Second Army of the Guards to go northeast of the Jinpu Line! After conquering Tianjin, the unit followed the Beining Line to the west bank of the Luan River to prevent the retreat of the Yangcun from the Shanhaiguan direction, and made an attitude of advancing outside the pass!

The Fifth Army was ordered to go northwest of the Jinpu Line, cross the Hebei Plain and go straight to the southern suburbs of Beiping, and force Okamura to flee north with force!

Zhou Ziqian was ordered to lead the two divisions of the Third Army, and the two brigades were left in northern Henan. Wu Deqing led the main force of the army to head north along the Pinghan Line. He also detoured to the northwest of Beiping, cutting off the retreat route of the Mongolian army!

The operations of the above departments are scheduled to be at 5 a.m. on the 11th. The three aviation divisions under the Jinan War Zone must cooperate closely!

Then I sent a call to Chen Hailan and others in the Yulin War Zone, and ordered the sixth, eleventh, and the twelfth three armies to start from the early morning of the 11th. The firepower will be fully launched, so be sure to advance to the western suburbs of Peking as soon as possible! The aviation divisions directly under the war zone and the headquarters will be prepared to annihilate the Kwantung Army's entry group by air strikes in Pingbei and Renan Mountains on the 11th!

In addition, send a call to Jiang Bin, Xu Mingyi, and Dong Bicheng, and ordered him to open the Longhai Line before 6pm the next day!"

On the 11th, the distance between northern Shandong, northern Henan, northern Shanxi, Chanan and other places from Beiping was from the distance between northern Shandong and northern Shanxi and other places. Even if the armed forces of the People's Party advance as fast as the 9th day, it would not be able to reach the city within one day. However, the large-scale attack of the People's Army and the Guards could create a tense atmosphere, prompting the Kwantung Army to concentrate the troops entering the pass around Luanping and Gubeikou areas, and enter the pass immediately after the road is completed. The Japanese army's forces are in Pingbei and the high concentration of Renan Mountains provides an opportunity to completely annihilate the department.

Zhou Mingyuan quickly recorded the orders dictated by Zhao Zhenzhong with paper and pen on his desk, looked at them and understood the intention. He also reminded: "Old Zhao, other aspects are easy to talk about, but fighting street battles in Tianjin is always a problem. Gaofeng School College also needs to go west of the Luan River along the Beining Line. Is this mission a little heavier? Also, if the Japanese army built the Gubeikou passage in advance and the troops entering Guandong will go south at night, wouldn't the air strike be lost? It's best to send a reconnaissance team to stare near the Gubeikou so as not to miss the fighter plane!"

"The Gaofeng School has six divisions, two brigades have a total of 150,000 troops. One force is left to fight street battles in Tianjin, and the other can also advance to the west of the Luan River. Except for the time being to the Luan River north, the task is not heavy!" Zhao Zhenzhong shook his head gently. After pondering for a moment, he said, "As for sending a reconnaissance team to keep a close eye on the Gubeikou area, it is indeed necessary. So he drew two companies from the Special Column and sent them to the mountains near Gubeikou with helicopters to secretly monitor the movements of the Japanese army and guide air firepower strikes!"

To the north of the Old Yellow River controlled by the Guards, due to the insufficient Japanese troops in North China, Okamura only arranged the 27th Division and the 1st Brigade of the ** mixed with nearly 30,000 troops. Even if the Japanese and puppet military guards and Japanese expatriates in Tianjin were added, the sky was only more than 40,000 troops. After the attack when Gaofeng School went north, the Japanese and Japanese descent who could finally retreat to Tianjin to resist stubbornly was probably worth about 20,000. For more than 20,000 Japanese devils who wanted to fight street battles, Gaofeng School left the first division, and the brigade was enough to clean up. The other fifth division and the brigade could still continue to go north to the Luanhe line.

"The Gaofeng School is not a big problem." After thinking carefully, Zhou Mingyuan nodded in agreement with Zhao Zhenzhong's opinion, but added, "It is indeed feasible to use helicopter air transport. However, it is best to send another aviation division to the Yulin War Zone to bomb the Gubeikou area before dawn tomorrow. While attracting the attention of the Japanese army, it is possible to cover up the special sound of the helicopter flying at low altitudes."

"Yes! The specific arrangements will be up to you!" Zhao Zhenzhong nodded in agreement.

After more than a year of application and improvement, the YZ-1, which is now equipped with the Special Column of the People's Army, can carry out aircraft landings within 800 kilometers, within a range of 800 kilometers, under various landform conditions. The two companies of reconnaissance forces were deployed to Gubeikou in advance, and the equipment and supplies during the lurking period were only required to dispatch seven or eight aircraft. This dispatch is the first time that helicopters are used in actual combat in the world, which is of far-reaching significance.

"By the way, Lao Zhao, after the troops in the Eighth War Zone evacuated Guanzhong, Lao Chiang publicly accused our party and our army early this morning. Do you write something to refute it?" Zhou Mingyuan walked to the door with a telegram recording a series of orders, but turned around and reminded, "Cheng Chiang lost his troops and land, but instead turned around! It was just taking advantage of today's great victory to let the domestic and foreign countries see which Chongqing authorities, who have been defeated and defeated Henan and Shaanxi, and who have been swept through Henan and Shaanxi, and who have been inspecting the Jin Dynasty, is the backbone of China today?!"

Because the Eighth War Zone and the Chongqing authorities had repeatedly promoted the "decisive war of resistance" and "vowing to live and die with Guan**", after Dong Zhao and other troops withdrew from Guanzhong on the night of the 8th, Chiang Kai-shek always had to give an explanation to the outside world. This led to the public conversation between Chiang Kai-shek early on the 9th.

During the conversation, because the news of the People's Army's eastward advance to Guanzhong had not yet been heard, Chiang Kai-shek declared that "the fierce battle had been more than two months. Although the enemy had killed a lot, due to poor equipment and difficulties in supply, the soldiers had to evacuate for the future. On the other hand, he accused "there are strong people in the country who are the selfish party and remained silent for the sake of the party. He sat on the Japanese army to rampage Henan and Shaanxi, causing tens of millions of people to be displaced. This is indeed the misfortune of the country and the nation..." He actually put the responsibility for the successive defeat of the First War Zone, the Five War Zone, and the Eighth War Zone, and the People's Party!

In addition to assisting Zhao Zhenzhong in commanding the wars of all parties, Zhou Mingyuan was also responsible for monitoring, intercepting, and deciphering the radio waves between domestic and foreign parties that he could receive. On the 9th, he had passively heard the boneless accusations of the female announcer of the Central News Agency of Chongqing many times, and was naturally extremely indignant at Chiang Chiang's accusations and the slander of the Chongqing authorities.

"I'm busy all night in the morning and don't have time to argue with Mr. Jiang! I'll wait until I'll have time to make time tomorrow to fight him!" Zhao Zhenzhong waved his hand and said disrespectfully. "Whether our army opens up the Longhai Line, goes north to Pingjin, controls Chanan, Jizhong, Jinan and other places, or destroys the Kwantung Army's southward forces, it has enough influence. It's not too late to argue with him later! Besides, even if we don't talk about some things, the Chongqing authorities in the Japanese-occupied area can convey the news back. I guess that the Chongqing authorities will not broadcast Chiang Kai-shek's speech tomorrow morning!"

What Zhao Zhenzhong expected was neither right nor right. Early in the morning of the 10th, the Chongqing authorities and newspapers and magazines under their control did not repeat the broadcast of Chiang Kai-shek's speech yesterday, but he also passed the mouths of senior military generals such as He Yingqin, Chen Cheng, and Hu Zongnan, and accused the People's Party of "unpredictable intentions." Taking advantage of the opportunity of the central government's large-scale consumption of Japanese forces and sending troops to seize the fruits of victory. This is indeed a national skill..."

The Chongqing authorities have forgotten their responsibilities as the central government forces to the defense zone, but they are still worth it. They have attributed themselves the results of the People's Party armed forces to themselves! It seems that without the Chongqing authorities' retreatment, the People's Party armed forces will not be able to win the battle against Japan!

"If you don't go out, they will say you will sit back and wait for the national interests and the people's lives and deaths! If you send troops to win, they will say that you have ulterior motives and steal the national skills! You will move forward quickly. It is worth the effort of retreating again and again on the battlefield!" At the meeting of the Standing Committee of the People's Party Central Committee on the morning of the 10th, Zhao Zhenzhong listened to the accusations from the radio and commented with a smile, "It is indeed worthy of being the direct inheritance of Sun Dapao! He is greedy for others' achievements and thinks that he is a skill. This is the real verbal party!"

"The word "The word "is" is appropriate!" Tang Ming, who had been in the United States for a long time and had deep relationships with Situ Meitang and other veterans of the Zhigong Party, couldn't help but smile, "I had heard Mr. Huang and Mr. Situ's statements about the history of the past and after the Xinhai period. Compared with the current Chongqing authorities' harsh and bullying others, the "the word "is" is really worthy of their reputation!"

After the previous criticism of the word "leading the way", the "mouth party" was also released by Zhao Zhenzhong's mouth and became synonymous with Chiang Kai-shek and the Chongqing authorities. Compared with the former, due to the Chongqing authorities' series of retreats since the War of Resistance, especially their various actions of tolerating the outside and being cruel inside, the "mouth party" is indeed particularly appropriate, which demonstrates its strong outside and being strong at the outside and being domineering.

"From the Battle of Shanghai to the just-concluded Battle of Xi'an, at least one million grassroots officers and soldiers made unnecessary sacrifices due to the incompetence of Chiang Kai-shek and senior generals of the Chongqing authorities!" Zhou Mingyuan said indignantly, "What I can't stand is that the bastards of the Chongqing authorities took the casualties of the vast number of grassroots officers and soldiers to cover up their command incompetence and unfavorable combat! The casualties actually became the "resistance of the War of Resistance" of the Chongqing authorities! This is simply shameless!"

Generally speaking, casualties can indeed prove the efforts and costs paid by the warring party, but there is another situation where the warring party is too incompetent and it is still difficult to achieve the purpose of the battle after making a lot of sacrifices.

In original history, whether it was the Battle of Shanghai, the Battle of Central Plains, or the subsequent Battle of Henan, Hunan and Guangxi, the grassroots officers and soldiers paid extremely high prices. A considerable part of these costs could have been avoided, but they were sacrificed in vain due to the incompetence of the senior military commanders of the Chongqing authorities, including Chiang Kai-shek, at the strategic or combat level. And using the casualties of the officers and soldiers to show their strength and boast about incompetence as a skill, only Chiang Kai-shek and his later fans could do this!

"These verbals are already grasshoppers in autumn, and they can't jump for a few days! Don't pay too much attention now. After finishing the Japanese, we will turn back and clean them up!" Zhao Zhenzhong tapped the table twice with his fingers. After Zhou Mingyuan and Tang Ming and others recovered from peace, he continued, "Today, they mainly discussed several things: first, the transportation of materials after the Longhai Line, Pingsui Line, Jinpu Line, etc., and the issue of disaster relief and restoration and stability in the newly occupied areas along the route, and the organization of production; second, how to deal with foreign institutions and foreigners in the newly occupied areas after the war ends; third, the establishment of the Henan-Shaanxi Construction Management Committee and the North China Construction Management Committee, as well as the addition of Luoyang War Zone and the Peking War Zone."

This first thing is related to the survival of tens of millions of disaster victims in Henan and Shaanxi provinces. At the suggestion of Zhao Zhenzhong, it was finally agreed that Tian Yunyi would be responsible and Zou Degui, the General Logistics Department of the People's Army, should be assisted by Zou Degui. After the battle, food, clothing and other disaster relief materials should be transported from northwest to Henan, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Cha, Hebei, Pingjin and other places as much as possible. With the assistance of the sent government staff and military officers and soldiers, the land allocation work in the newly occupied area will be completed this winter and next spring. At the same time, labor-for-relief should be used to organize people to build farmland water conservancy, laying the foundation for next year's spring plowing and spring planting, and laying the foundation for the subsequent establishment of corresponding construction management committees.

Judging from the requirements of manpower, material investment, and organizational cooperation, the difficulty of this matter is no less than fighting another "snowstorm", and its duration and impact on domestic politics and economic construction are even more than that!

The second thing, involving the foreign relations and future international status of the People's Party government, cannot be ignored. At the suggestion of Zhao Zhenzhong, several other Standing Committee members unanimously raised their hands to determine several basic principles of the People's Party's future foreign relations: 1. Recovering foreign concessions in Tianjin;

2. Abolish extraterritorial legal power and all unequal treaties concluded by the Chinese government to the outside world since the Qing government; all foreigners in areas controlled by the People's Party must obey the policies and regulations of the People's Party government, and absolutely no foreign existence above the authority of the People's Party government;

3. In any country that has formal diplomatic relations with the Chongqing authorities, the People's Party government will not establish diplomatic relations with them;

4. All Japanese expatriates in China are considered colonial invaders. The relevant regulations on treating other foreigners are not applicable;

Although the entire world is divided into two opposing camps and is in a state of fierce fighting, and the People's Party's government has never established formal diplomatic relations with other countries, the People's Party's practice of not recognizing any previous unequal treaties is equivalent to standing at the same time on the opposite side of the belligerent countries such as Britain, France, the United States, and Japan.

Although the Axis Group and the Allied Group have fought hard, there is no possibility of colluding to deal with the People's Party government at present. However, as long as you think about the obstruction from the great powers that the People's Party government will face in the development of bilateral and multilateral international relations after the war, Tang Ming and others were shocked.

However, for the sake of national and national interests, if China wants to get rid of its enslaved status and talk with Western powers equally, these shackles that have been imposed on it in the past must be broken! This will also be a more protracted tough battle!

The third thing, which involves the stability of the newly occupied area and future development, as well as the clarification of future combat tasks and the adjustment and combination of troops of various units, is also not easy. However, if it is only for the establishment of the Construction Management Committee and the War Zone, this matter is the easiest. The difficult thing is the responsibility that the relevant institutions have to bear after they are formed.

"Each of these things is no less than a tough battle. None of them is easy!" Zhao Zhenzhong said after a brief introduction, "But in order to allow us, and the Chinese like us, to stand up in front of foreigners in the future, let our nation stand tall among the nations of the world, and let our country no longer rely on the breath of the great powers, we must do all these things well! Our People's Army and the soldiers of the Guards are bravely fighting in the cold winter to conquer cities and lands on the battlefield with a rush to fight, and they will be invincible in the battle, opening the prelude to the strategic counterattack since the War of Resistance Against Japan. The tough battles we have to fight in all aspects, and the bad battles we must also carry forward this fearless spirit of daring to fight and fighting hard!

Whether these three things are done well or not is not only related to the time when the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan and the reunification of the country, but also to the status of our party in the regime after the reunification of the country, but also to the status of our country and nation in the future world. We can only do it well, not lose it!"

After sorting out Zhao Zhenzhong's speech at the Standing Committee, he sent it to members of the Central Committee of the People's Party and officials at the regional government level. After the commanders at the army level above, many people keenly realized that a strategic counterattack was not far from victory!

On the day of the Standing Committee, Yao Guangxun's troops from the Third Army of the People's Army also crossed the Wei River to pursue the Jingguanren tribe of the 36th Division of the Japanese Army, which was responsible for breaking the rear and retreating from Guanzhong. While the Second Army of the Xu Mingyi's troops advanced eastward on the south bank of the Wei River, they also divided their troops southward to control the passage through the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains, completely obviating the possibility of Chiang Kai-shek's troops returning to Guanzhong.

At the same time, the armored cluster of Ye Sheng, the First Army of the Guard Army, successfully crossed the Yiluo River from the built floating bridge and attacked Luoyang. Jiang Bin's troops continued south along the Pinghan Line to Yancheng, and advanced eastward to Shangshui area on the west bank of the Yellow River, and westward along the north bank of the Shahe River to the Sunjiadian area on the upper reaches of the Ru River.

At this point, except for a small number of Japanese troops in Guanzhong that have yet to be cleared, Japanese troops at the squadron and above levels no longer exist! Japanese troops from Jimu, Tuqiao and other units were compressed from Mianchi in the east and from Tongguan in the west. (To be continued.
