Chapter 153 East Wind and Rain
During the three and a half months of the Hundred Regiments Battle, the Eighth Route Army carried out 1,824 large and small battles, killing and wounding more than 20,000 Japanese troops and nearly 10,000 puppet troops, achieving impressive results. The Eighth Route Army's own casualties were much less than the original time and space.
In addition to the large number of weapons supported by Wu Siren, Wu Siren also provided many "mature" anti-war experience behind enemy lines that he provided to Yanzhou through Chen Qiuxia, such as "tunnel warfare" and the advance application of "mine warfare". Of course, the most important thing is that the development of the Red Party itself is much stronger than that of the same period in the original time and space. During the raid battle of this Hundred Regiments War, the large number of "flying thunder cannons" made the Japanese bunker groups in the North China Plain almost all were destroyed.
The Hundred Regiments War severely hit the "cage policy" implemented by the Japanese in northern China, which shocked the Japanese army greatly. After this battle, the Japanese army conducted profound reflections, summarized the experience and lessons, and carried out unprecedented reforms and strengthened the intelligence agencies, further clarifying the guiding ideology of focusing on the Eighth Route Army in North China. The Japanese Army's North China Front Command even called this battle a heart-digging battle, which shows the great results of this battle against the Japanese.
The Hundred Regiments War delayed Japan's progress in southern China, but because the scale and duration of the battle exceeded the limit of the supply capacity of the troops and base areas, the troops were consumed too much, and the Japanese army was already quite tired when they retaliated against the "sweeping out". Therefore, the subsequent attacks on the Japanese army were not effective, causing serious destruction and destruction of the base areas, which aggravated the difficulties in the future. In some areas, such as Taiyue and Pingxi base areas, shrinkage began to occur.
Because of this, there was a controversy within the Red Party regarding whether to launch the Hundred Regiments War. At the North China symposium, the issue of the Hundred Regiments War was discussed and was sharply accused.
The Hundred Regiments War affected the national situation with the victory of North China and stopped the compromise crisis in the government; at the same time, the launch of the Hundred Regiments War strengthened the unity of the government. The Hundred Regiments War dealt a major blow to the Japanese army in North China, directly reducing the pressure on the Japanese army on the front battlefield of the government, causing Japan to attempt to use Germany and Italy to win the situation to increase the military pressure on the government, and the policy of completely defeating China was lost; in politics, it broke the rumors spread by the government that "the Eighth Route Army was traveling without attacking" and "specially attacking friendly forces".
Wu Siren was naturally happy to see all this, and even had the honor to be proud of it. However, before Wu Siren was happy, his bad things came to his door again. The incident originated from a film sent by An Guixiang, who was a "nail" in the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Edo, who was named Kudo Shinichi. This film was delivered by the pretext of the Japanese Red Party members' Navy, and the Japanese Red Party members had a problem. Unfortunately, the film involved in the secret film arrived in Shencheng. It was also the Red Party members who were not secret and were targeted by the special high school class, so Wu Siren needed to solve the problem.
Chen Ziliang said worriedly: "Commander, otherwise you should send Su Wenqian and Colonel Chi Tiecheng to the scene! There is no need for you to go to the danger in person."
Wu Siren said helplessly: "They only know how to kill people. They are just laymen in the intelligence work. This time I have to go there. Once the film falls into the hands of Japanese people, the nails that Edo finally penetrates are exposed. This involves a series of layouts in Nanyang in the future. I can't afford to bet. Have you found a substitute?"
"I have found two of them! I am nine points like you. If you don't know, you will definitely think that they are your twin brothers. This is their photo." Chen Ziliang smiled.
Wu Siren immediately instructed: "One of the substitutes inspected various places in Yuzhou instead of me, and the other one was arranged to live in the provincial government after I left! Pay attention to protecting their safety."
Chen Ziliang said seriously: "Don't worry! These two people heard that they were your substitute to protect your safety. They even wrote their suicide notes."
Wu Siren said dissatisfiedly: "I just hope my actions will be smoother, but I am not asking others to sacrifice for me. I will send more personnel to protect them after I leave."
Chen Ziliang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go and arrange it!"
If it weren't for not being able to find a suitable person, Wu Siren would never have taken action himself. A gentleman would not stand under a dangerous wall. He was responsible for the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, so he would never want the unfulfilled ambitions to happen to him. This time the film problem involved the Military Control Commission, the Red Party underground personnel, the Special High School Class, the John Niu Military Information Fifth, and even the FBI personnel of the US imperialist Empire. The waves were strange and all forces appeared one after another, forcing Wu Siren to end up in person.
Huanyan was dressed up in high spirits today, wearing a black women's suit and dress, her hair was so greasy, she was holding a civilized stick in her hand, and a charming smile was piled on her face. She was obviously in a good mood. Thinking of seeing the interesting tuner An Ming again, she felt an uncontrollable excitement from her heart.
Although Huanyan belongs to the Military Control Commission's intelligence personnel in Shencheng, she is always facing the risk of exposure, but the infinite scenery on Paramount made her quite intoxicated. However, the stationmaster of the Military Control Commission's Shencheng Station made her meet with the Military Control Commission traitor Lao Yi, which made her very disliked. She didn't understand how the Military Control Commission, which had always been strict with family rules, could cooperate with this traitor.
Today is the day for Paramount to celebrate the guests. Huanyan, as the most popular queen of the song in Shencheng, naturally invited her to perform. Paramount’s new owner Anthony Lanting, also invited many celebrities from all walks of life in Shencheng to attend, and the singing and dancing are the most realistic portrayal here.
Now the street in front of the Paramount Gate is crowded with people, and almost all traffic is blocked. The concession police stations even send people here to maintain order.
There were a row of flower baskets at the door. It was late autumn evening, and it was hard for Paramount owner Anthony Lanting to transport so many flowers from where he was transported. Twelve young women were wearing uniform red cheongsams on both sides of the door, which was particularly pleasing to the eye. Behind them were twelve tall and strong men, who were wearing uniform suits and leather shoes, white shirts and ties, and there were strong men wearing the same suits walking back and forth around them.
On the big stage in the main hall on the second floor, various musical instruments have been placed, the speakers and speakers have been installed, and the audience seats in front of the stage are already full of celebrities from all walks of life. The guests at the scene are whispering to discuss today's grand performance.
Since the three great Bai Xiangren in Shencheng died and were able to escape, almost all the underground forces in Shencheng are following Anthony Lanting’s leader!
The reason why Anthony Lanting was able to sell Paramount was because he had a close relationship with Colonel Tanaka, the Japanese security general stationed in Shencheng.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the ceremony began on time. Huanyan, as a guest host, first invited the German ambassador to Shanghai, to speak. Borchers' speech was very official, but he didn't say it for a long time. Then the speech was Henry, the chairman of the Concession Department Bureau, who spoke. Henry spoke of Chase's praise and praised Paramount as a fairyland on earth.
Then there was Anthony Lanting, the owner of Paramount. Anthony Lanting took out the celebration speech that had been prepared long ago and walked onto the performance stage amid the warm applause of everyone in the audience. His speech was nothing new, nothing more than the old trick.
