Chapter 643 Summit Meeting
Chapter 643 Summit Meeting
After the Battle of Hebei, the 300,000 Japanese troops in the north all retreated into the three northeastern provinces via Shanhaiguan.
The "Northern War" that lasted for more than half a year has finally come to a temporary end.
At that time, Ye Feng proposed the "One North and One South" grand strategy at the Yan'an Conference, which also achieved great phased results.
The entire northern part of China, except for the three northeastern provinces, has been successfully recovered by the underground party troops. After years of arduous resistance, the day of victory is finally approaching, when countless intelligence news is spread through radio and newspapers.
It can be said that countless people north of the Yangtze River jumped up and cheered in celebration.
What gave the people even more hope was that after regaining the lost territory, the underground party troops were not like those ambitious and greedy warlords. They had strict discipline and never took a single needle or thread from the people. On the contrary, for the poor people who were hungry and displaced, the underground party troops would organize the distribution of basic living food, help the people rebuild their homes, and divide up land among every household.
The word "field" means the life of the people.
With food, a place to live, and fields to farm, how far can good days be?
For a time, the entire north was engaged in bustling construction and restoration.
After a busy month.
Forbidden City.
The leaders of the three armies finally met.
Commander Su of the 13th Army, Liu, Division Commander Liu of the Deng Army, Political Commissar Deng, and Ye Feng representing the 12th Army.
The purpose of this meeting was mainly to discuss the next combat strategy.
As soon as they met, after a brief greeting, Commander Su raised his own question, "Commander Ye, the situation in the three northeastern provinces does not seem to be going as we expected? The top leaders of Japan have not issued an order to withdraw troops. According to intelligence, the enemy has assembled nearly 400,000 troops in the three northeastern provinces, blocking the Shanhaiguan Pass and forming a multi-layered defense line."
The implication is that letting nearly 300,000 enemy troops from Hebei and Shandong go at that time might lead to endless troubles!
Ye Feng smiled and said, "General Su, if I had known earlier, I should have given you an order in the Forbidden City, asking you to lead tens of thousands of troops from the 12th Army, to chase the 170,000 enemy devils in Shandong regardless of sacrifice. In that case, maybe you could have wiped out these 170,000 enemies in one go."
"Ha ha……"
Division Commander Liu laughed and said jokingly, "General Su, I'm not saying this to you, you are also the commander of an army. When you see an opportunity, you should attack decisively. Comrade Ye Feng is far away in the Forbidden City. How can he care about your war in Shandong? It's a pity that the credit for destroying hundreds of thousands of enemy troops has just gone to waste."
Even Political Commissar Deng said, "Your 12th Army is strong and well-equipped, so you can go and give chase. Our two columns are too small, so we can only watch the devils run away."
Commander Su was very calm. He pointed at the three men and said, "Actually, all of this is to blame Commander Ye. If he had appeared two years earlier, raised anti-Japanese forces in Shanghai earlier, and recovered the Shanghai-Jiangsu-Anhui region earlier, our underground party troops would have more troops and better equipment. We wouldn't have watched the enemy escape, but dared not pursue them because of insufficient troops."
Ye Feng felt a bit overwhelmed and said helplessly, "Okay, okay, if I had been born ten years earlier, the Japanese would not have been able to cross the Yalu River."
Hahaha……
In a cheerful atmosphere, several people began to sit down and started to formally discuss military issues.
"Commander Liu, Political Commissar Deng, have you received any news from Yan'an?" Ye Feng asked:
"Did you mention, sir, whether our next military target should be north or south?"
Division Commander Liu adjusted his glasses and said, "We have asked about this matter, but the master's meaning is very clear. Since you, Commander Ye, are sure to win without a fight and are a lucky and powerful general of our underground party, the issue of using troops in the next stage will mainly be decided by you. The master said that after the discussion, just submit a copy of the strategic plan to Yan'an, and they will definitely approve it."
what?
Ye Feng was a little shocked. He really didn't expect that Mr. Yan'an could still give him such great trust and confidence.
The current situation in the north is not the same as it was half a year ago!
Before this, the troops led by Ye Feng only conquered the Shanghai, Jiangsu and Anhui areas. The territory was not large and the troops were not numerous.
At that time, the master always trusted him, so Ye Feng would not find this strange.
It is different now. Shanghai, Jiangsu, Anhui, Central Plains, Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong, etc. have all been recovered. After more than a month of recruiting new soldiers, reorganizing the troops, expanding the military force, etc.
It can be said that now Commander Ye Feng only controls the armies in the three regions of Shanghai, Jiangsu and Anhui.
The military strength has almost reached 200,000, and this number will continue to increase rapidly as time goes by.
After all, after the Japanese withdrew from Shanhaiguan, Ye Feng issued a conscription order.
First was the 15th Army led by Commander Su. Ye Feng issued a conscription target, requiring five divisions, each division must have at least some soldiers, and the total strength must not be less than .
The same goes for the 15th Army, which needs to have a strength of troops in five divisions.
Once the recruitment of these two armies is completed, it will be a huge force of 30 people.
What if we add the Fourth Front Army?
The Fourth Front Army led by Commander Ye is not a simple one. In order to let him defend Anhui and Shanghai and respond to military emergencies, Ye Feng has sent him three divisions.
Together with the original several divisions and the subsequent support from Shanghai, the Fourth Front Army once reached the strength of eight divisions, with a total force of more than 100,000 people.
This is why Ye Feng was surprised. More than 80% of the underground party’s troops were under his command?
How much trust is this?
Seeing Ye Feng's expression change, Political Commissar Deng said, "Comrade Ye Feng, you don't feel that the burden is too heavy, the responsibility is too heavy, and you feel that you can't bear it anymore, and you are ready to give up, right?"
Ye Feng sighed, "I, I used to be a Shancheng agent..."
The words were not finished.
Commander Liu criticized with the expectation of an elder, "Comrade Ye Feng, don't have these concerns. No matter where you were from before, after all, you are a man of our Shenzhou Huaxia, a child born and raised on this land. As for Shancheng, the Shancheng army was also great in the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing. They fought bravely and fought to the death. Many heroes emerged who are worthy of praise and tears."
"You didn't flinch at that time. Facing the vicious devils, in the two defensive battles, everyone knew that you, Ye Feng, were very brave, comparable to Zhao Zilong in ancient times. You killed the enemy and frightened them."
"So, in light of the trust from Yan'an and the absolute respect they place on you, you, a super agent commander with a national heroic reputation, should not have any concerns. Just go ahead and fight with confidence."
Now, Ye Feng's nickname circulating all over the country is no longer just a super agent, or a Shanghai hero, or the commander of Shanghai, Jiangsu and Anhui.
Rather, it is the somewhat strange title of “Super Agent Commander”.
no way.
Who is it that in every battle, Ye Feng, the commander who should have been in charge of the headquarters, always carries a gun and rushes to the front line.
As a commander, he charged more fiercely than the soldiers and was more ruthless than anyone else in killing the Japanese.
