***Current situation of the troops

At Chiang Kai-shek's official residence in Chongqing, Dai Li, the military commander, took a telegram and hurried into the office regardless of the obstruction of the presidential aide in front of him. Then, he breathlessly reported to Chiang Kai-shek in front of him...

"Principal, the latest situation detected by our Military Statistics Bureau is that the Kwantung Army's breakout force, escorted by the combined fleet, can land in Wuhan in up to three days and join the combat sequence of the Japanese Army's southern garrison. So far, in

Directly in front of our *** position, a total of 600,000 Japanese troops from the Central China Front and the Kwantung Army's breakout force have been assembled. In addition, according to internal intelligence, part of the Japanese combined fleet's warships will participate in the entire battle during the entire attack.

…”

"So fast..." For a moment, Chiang Kai-shek's brows immediately wrinkled and he asked in silence.

"How many people are there in total? Didn't the Ministry of National Defense issue an order to the Northeast Field Army of the Communist Party of China to slow down the Kwantung Army's southward movement as much as possible? How could it be so fast?" After receiving a positive answer from Dai Li in front of him, Chiang Kai-shek asked angrily...

"Reporting to the principal, the most important reason why the Kwantung Army was able to move south and reach Wuhan in such a short period of time was the assistance of the combined fleet... As for the total strength of the Kwantung Army, it was pursued and intercepted by the Northeast Field Army of the Communist Party of China along the way.

"The total strength of the army has changed from 350,000 during the initial breakout to 250,000 today..." Dai Li replied respectfully.

"Nang Xipi, I really didn't expect that the combat effectiveness of the Northeast Field Army was so strong. In less than a week, hundreds of thousands of elite Kwantung Army troops were wiped out along the way. It seems that our old rival Northeast

The field army has developed into a climate..."

Until this moment, Chiang Kai-shek, as Chairman of the Generalissimo, had not thought of the crisis faced by his nearly one million members. Instead, he was shocked and jealous of the powerful combat effectiveness of the opponents he might face in the future.

From this point of view, Chiang Kai-shek does not have the magnanimity and ambition that a ruler should have... Of course, these are all things for later.

Faced with Chiang Kai-shek's rhetorical question, Dai Li, as a confidant, may have been accustomed to Chiang Kai-shek's long-standing grudge against the CCP. At the first moment, he took out a piece of intelligence sent by the Northeast Intelligence Agency. Then, he answered very definitely:

"Yes, Principal. According to intelligence, in this week, the Northeast Field Army only used less than 200,000 troops to successfully eliminate hundreds of thousands of elite Kwantung Army troops. At the same time, it destroyed the Kwantung Army's troops along the way.

Almost all heavy weapons…”

"Nang Xipi, the CCP troops are really good at fighting. However, since the Northeast Field Army's 200,000 troops can wipe out hundreds of thousands of elite Kwantung Army troops. Our nearly one million troops can also block the attack of hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops...

..Where are Cixiu’s three hundred thousand troops now?” Chiang Kai-shek asked with a confident look on his face.

"Reporting to the principal, the 300,000 elite *** led by Commander Chen have successfully rushed to the defense line in western Hubei to deploy. If nothing else happens, what Commander Chen's headquarters needs to face is the Kwantung Army that has just been transferred to central China.

Two hundred and fifty thousand elites..." Dai Li replied.

"In this way, Yu Nong, immediately convey my order: 300,000 elite ***, plus 200,000 local defenders in Hubei. A total of 500,000 troops, all will be given to Ci Xiu for command. Tell Ci Xiu,

The Northeast Field Army can rely on an army of 200,000 to wipe out the Kwantung Army's 100,000 elite troops. Our *** troops can also rely on 500,000 elite troops to block the attack of the Kwantung Army's 250,000 elite troops... This battle must be fought.

The majesty of our *** troops lets the people of the country know that our more than one million *** troops are the real main force of the entire resistance war." Facing Director Dai Li in front of him, Chiang Kai-shek ordered with a serious face.

"Yes, Chairman..."

Looking at Dai Li who was leaving quickly, a confident smile immediately appeared on Chiang Kai-shek's face. Because he believed that the more than one million soldiers on the front line who had experienced the test of blood and fire would be able to block a new round of Japanese attacks.

offensive.

However, at this moment, he seemed to have forgotten one thing. After several years of war, the more than one million Communists were indeed the best among the elite. However, after several years of consumption during the war of resistance, the National Government's limited

The strategic reserves are almost exhausted. At this moment, among the more than one million *** troops, except for the more than half a million who are truly direct descendants and can have sufficient ammunition, the remaining miscellaneous troops have the ammunition they can use.

It can almost be called one of the few.

Compared with more than one million Japanese troops with poor equipment and lack of ammunition, compared with more than 600,000 Japanese troops who are well-equipped and have high morale. Although every soldier of the Communist Party is an elite soldier in hundreds of battles, one fact is

But it cannot be changed; in modern warfare, flesh and blood is no match for bullets and shells after all.

After several years of construction by the Japanese army and Wang Jingwei's pseudo-National Government, Nanjing City once again transformed from a post-war ruin into a metropolis rarely seen in the entire China today.

Early this morning, the Japanese Army Headquarters in China, located in Nanjing, was tightly surrounded by groups of well-equipped security forces with live ammunition. At the same time, a large number of traitorous spies were scattered here and there.

Wander around the headquarters and eliminate all suspected Chinese around the headquarters...

You don't need to think about it to know that there must be an important event happening here today.

As eight o'clock in the morning arrived, cars began to appear at the gate of the headquarters under heavy guard. Following them, senior Japanese generals with the rank of lieutenant general carrying generals on their shoulders passed by.

After the physical examination, I slowly walked into the luxurious conference room of the headquarters...

Before half past eight, dozens of generals carrying gold stars on their shoulders from the Central China Front Army and the Kwantung Army breakout force gathered in the huge conference room.

"Your Excellency, the Commander..." As the voice of the attendant reached everyone's ears, dozens of generals, almost immediately, straightened their backs and sat motionless in their seats, waiting for the Commander.

The arrival of the official.

Soon, as the door of the conference room was pushed open. *** General Matsui Iwane, the supreme commander of the Central China Garrison Army, and General Mizu Shiro, the supreme commander of the *** Kwantung Army. The two people, together at this moment, were surrounded by the people who had just been captured.

His Excellency Prince Xian Zai Miyamoto, who was appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Japanese Army in China, slowly walked to the front of the conference room and sat down...

After a quick glance at the dozens of generals in front of him, General Matsui Iwane, the commander of the Central China Expeditionary Force, stood up from his seat and spoke after receiving the consent of the prince next to him.

"Everyone, I would like to announce to you an edict that His Majesty the Emperor has just issued. From now on, His Excellency Prince Miyamoto will take over the post of Commander-in-Chief in China. Now, please give me a speech...

..”

"Bah bang bang..." Amidst the warm applause of all the officers, Prince Miyamoto stood up from his seat with a serious face. He pressed his hands and said after the conference room became quiet again.

"Everyone, you are all the best senior generals of the Imperial Army of the People's Republic of China. I believe that you also know that the empire is currently implementing the southward war plan with Chinese forces. At the same time, the entire empire is also following the southward war plan.

The beginning of the war has reached a critical moment of life and death. Therefore, His Majesty the Emperor hopes that our Japanese troops stationed in China can quickly eliminate all the resistance forces in China. Then, concentrate their forces and participate in the southward battle plan... Today, His Majesty the Emperor

I was sent here just to work with you all to eliminate all resistance forces in China through this counterattack..."

"Pa bang bang..."

After waving his hands and the warm applause slowly subsided, Prince Miyamoto continued to speak.

"I believe that in the past few days, everyone here has known that the 250,000 elite Kwantung Army, under the leadership of the Kwantung Army's supreme commander, have arrived in Wuhan and are about to join the offensive against the Japanese army. So.

, Here I hope that the entire Central China Expeditionary Force and the Kwantung Army can cooperate with each other to defeat and annihilate the main force of the *** army in front of us in the shortest possible time, occupy Chongqing, and destroy the leadership structure of the Chinese National Government in one fell swoop..."

A series of exciting words roared out from the mouth of Prince Miyamoto. In the conference room, the faces of dozens of generals were immediately shrouded in excitement. Just as Prince Miyamoto finished speaking, dozens of generals

The famous general, led by the two generals Matsui Iwane and Mitsu Toshiro, waved his fists and shouted loudly.

"Long live His Majesty the Emperor, long live the Great Empire..."

Just when hundreds of thousands of elite Japanese troops began to sharpen their swords, distribute ammunition, and make final preparations for the final attack. The nearly one million Japanese soldiers on the Japanese defense line that stretched for nearly a thousand kilometers, but because of various

For various reasons, the entire position was shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere.

In the mountains of Xiangxi, Hunan, far away from the Japanese military camp, about a regiment of troops stood firm here on a Japanese military position, relying on the mountains and trenches. Although some time ago, the troops repelled the Japanese army several times.

Attack. Coupled with the outbreak of the Pacific War, senior officials continued to propagate to the troops that the victory of the Anti-Japanese War was imminent. However, looking at the entire position, there was no happy expression on the faces of any soldiers or officers.

On the huge position, except for a few sentries on duty, every soldier was wearing a broken military uniform, holding his own rifle, and several of them snuggled in the trench to keep warm... More than a thousand soldiers, no matter the lowest level,

The soldiers were still senior officers. Due to long-term malnutrition, no trace of blood could be seen on their faces...

"What the hell kind of war is this? A week has passed, and the ammunition from above has not arrived yet. There is also food. The troops have been eating wild vegetables for several days. If this continues

, without the little devils attacking, the army will collapse. Staff Wang, please urge me to the division headquarters again, hurry up..." In the regiment headquarters less than 500 meters away from the front line position, the regiment commander with a livid face said,

He roared loudly at a combat staff officer in front of him.

"Yes, regimental seat..." The combat staff officer rushed to the telephone and started to answer the call to the division headquarters.

A few minutes later, while the regiment leader was waiting anxiously, the combat staff officer appeared in front of the regiment leader with a hesitant look on his face. He hesitated, as if he had something to say, but he couldn't say it...

"What did the master say? Do you really not care about us and let our good brothers go hungry and fight with the little devils with rifles without ammunition?" the regiment leader asked with an anxious look.

"Regiment leader, the division leader said that the logistics office of the division headquarters now has no ammunition and food. Now, the entire division, not just our regiment, but the remaining five regiments, have almost run out of ammunition. The division leader asked us to think for ourselves.

We should try our best to solve part of it by ourselves. In addition, the division commander has personally rushed to the group army to ask for ammunition. However, let us not have too much hope. After all, our Sichuan Army is the stepmother, not the direct descendant of the Communist Party.

There are great restrictions on ammunition replenishment..." the combat staff replied in a low voice.

"Damn it, it's already here, and there are still some factional disputes. Are the superiors just watching us fight with the little devils on bayonets... Immediately notify the director of the logistics department to allocate all the reserves in the regiment.

Take it out for me. In addition, take out all the silver coins and gold bars from the logistics office. Go to the logistics office of the group army. Even if you buy it, you must also buy me the ammunition. No matter what, you cannot let the brothers hold without ammunition.

Use your rifle and fight with the Japs on bayonets..." After a brief moment of despair, the regiment leader ordered with a murderous look on his face.

"Yes, Commander, I will go and give the order right away..."

From the Logistics Department of the Group Army, the Major Director of the Logistics Department of the Group Headquarters hurriedly arrived. He was following behind the Colonel Director of the Group Army with a smile on his face. He was saying complimentary words one after another, hoping that the Colonel Director in front of him could allocate some money to him.

ammunition.

However, ten minutes passed, and the Colonel's mouth still did not loosen up. Finally, considering the gold bar in his hand, the Colonel had no choice but to say:

"Brother, it's not that I don't want to help you. I also know that the Sichuan Army brothers are suffering very hard on the front line. But there are orders from above, and I, the colonel and division chief, can't do anything about it...Brother, please don't make things difficult for me...I

Let me introduce you to a way to ask the head of the Group Army Logistics Department. As long as he lets go, I will definitely have no problems here..."

"Thank you, Director Wang. If you can really get the ammunition, on behalf of the more than 1,000 brothers in the regiment, I would like to thank you for your great kindness..." Hearing this, the Colonel and Director in front of him finally relented under his money offensive.

.The major director quickly said with a flattering look.

In the end, after once again spending almost all the remaining gold bars on the money-grubbing logistics director of the logistics department, the approval slip for hundreds of thousands of rounds of ammunition finally got into the hands of the major director...

In the regiment command post, the major director who returned to the station immediately came to the headquarters and reported the specific situation to the regiment commander.

"Captain, the specific situation is this. Six gold bars, plus 500 yuan, can be exchanged for a total of 100,000 rifle bullets, 20,000 machine gun bullets, 5,000 grenades, 200 landmines, and 100 kilograms of explosives.

…”

"That's all..." After reading the list in his hand, the leader waved his hands in despair. Then, he said to the major director in front of him.

"It's pretty good to be able to get back so much ammunition. As far as I know, several other regiments in our division didn't even get back a single bullet because they didn't have gold bars to bribe those sons of bitches at the Munitions Department... Like this

, take out 20,000 rounds of rifle bullets, 4,000 rounds of machine gun bullets, and send out a thousand hand grenades. As for the remaining ammunition, save it all. No one is allowed to use it without my order..."

"Yes, Tuanzu..."

At the same time, in another Sichuan Army position, a major division chief, because he did not have enough hard currency to bribe his superiors, spent a whole day in the logistics department of the group army without any results. In the end, he could only look at

Returning to his own position in despair, he returned to his commander...

"What a bastard. The little devils have been beaten right under their noses. These bastard logistics officials are still thinking about corruption... Since I am replenishing ammunition, I will handle it myself... *** The Central Army is unreliable no matter what time it is.

..." After listening to the major's report, the regiment leader cursed angrily.

"Director Wang, how much ammunition do we still have in reserve..." the regiment leader asked.

"For a group, on average, each person has less than fifteen rounds of bullets. As for the machine gun, less than a hundred rounds, and an average of two grenades per person... In addition, the food in our hands, even if it is mixed with wild vegetables, can only be eaten.

A week’s time…” the Major Division Chief replied.

"In this way, some of the rifles will be replaced with Sanba Gai that captured the little Japs. In addition, scouts will be sent to look for ammunition on the bodies of the little Japs in front of the position... As for the food issue, we will contact the guerrillas over there.

, let's see if we can raise some..." As he spoke, the leader used his right hand to make an 'eight' figure...

"Yes, leader..."

As the regiment leader said, in the entire position, among the more than one million *** troops, except for nearly half of the ***, because they are direct descendants of Chiang Kai-shek, they can get sufficient ammunition supplies without anyone taking corruption. The rest

Among the more than 500,000 miscellaneous troops under the command, almost no unit has received sufficient ammunition...

Troops who have the conditions can use the gold, silver and other hard currency in their hands to exchange a small amount of ammunition from their superiors for use by the troops. Troops who do not have the conditions, facing the Japanese attack, can only pick up no ammunition and even set fire to it.

A rifle that is worse than a stick, a bayonet fight with a little devil...
