    Lunan. Linmu. Jiagu Pass.

    Originally this was a little-known small valley, but today it has become the most important place in the Lunan region, because the first combat meeting of the newly established Sulu Theater was held here.

    At this time, the vicinity of Jiagu Pass was heavily guarded. A large number of national army troops were hidden in the ravines in the mountains, and generals gathered in a cave at the core of the valley.

    There are more than ten chairs around a square wooden table in the middle, and a huge military map hangs on the earth wall beside it.

    At this time, there was someone sitting on every chair. Judging from the military uniforms on these officers, they were all generals, not even a school officer.

    Sitting in the main seat was the commander-in-chief of the Sulu Theater Yu Xuezhong, and sitting next to him were the two deputy commanders Han Deqin and Shen Honglie, as well as many generals from the 51st Army and the 57th Army.  .

    Yu Xuezhong only received the appointment of the Commander-in-Chief of the Sulu Theater from the Military Commission two months ago. He then commanded the 51st and 57th armies to march from the Dabie Mountains, Hubei, Henan, and Anhui areas across Longhai and Jinpu Road to Lunan behind enemy lines, and rushed to Shandong.  , at the junction of Jiangsu and Jiangsu provinces.

    From a time perspective, Yu Xuezhong¡¯s headquarters and Li Guoyao¡¯s headquarters set off almost at the same time!

    However, due to the slow movement of the national army, and the large target of tens of thousands of people from the two armies, Yu Xuezhong's troops stopped and walked along the way. When they encountered small Japanese raids or other things, they had to stop and observe the situation.  , so they arrived at the junction of Shandong and Jiangsu provinces more than a month later than Li Guoyao and others.

    "However, as soon as the troops arrived, they received the order from the Military Commission, which made him feel quite unprepared.

    Yu Xuezhong glanced at the officers around him, and immediately asked in a deep voice: "Have you not contacted the headquarters of the Shandong Guerrilla Corps yet?"

    Chief of Staff Wang Jingxuan immediately stood up and said: "Report to the headquarters, we haven't been contacted yet. The radio station over the guerrilla corps has been silent, and we can't catch their signal!"

    "Oh, I see!"

    ¡° Then Yu Xuezhong continued: ¡°Since we can¡¯t contact Commander-in-Chief Li and others, we won¡¯t wait for him in this meeting, let¡¯s start!¡±

    "yes!"

    "Chief of Staff Wang, before the meeting begins, please read out the letter of appointment of the Military Commission!" Yu Xuezhong said.

    "yes!"

    Then Wang Jingxuan stood up directly and said: "Appoint Yu Xuezhong as the commander-in-chief of the Sulu Guerrilla Theater of the National Government, Han Deqin and Shen Honglie as deputy commanders-in-chief, Li Guoyao as the commander-in-chief of the Shandong Guerrilla Corps, Wang Jingxuan as the chief of staff of the theater, and Zhou Fu as the director of the Political Department.  The appointment took effect on January 16, the eighth year of the Republic of China, Chiang Kai-shek."

    After Wang Jingxuan read out the letter of appointment, Yu Xuezhong said in a deep voice: "Everyone, everyone has heard the appointment of the Military Commission. From now on, everyone is stirring the pot in the same pot. Everyone will be prosperous, and everyone will suffer.  Therefore, I hope that everyone can unite and jointly build the cause of the Anti-Japanese War in the Sulu Theater. Let¡¯s start with the ugly words. If any one of you here does not focus on the anti-Japanese aspect, but instead colludes with the little devils and puppet troops,  Or you are deliberately conserving your strength, don't blame me for not giving you face! The fate of Han Fuqu, Li Fuying, Long Muhan, Xue Weiying and others is there, please don't make a mistake!"

    "Yes, sir, please rest assured, we will fight the enemy with all our strength, kill the enemy and serve the country, even if we die, we will have no regrets!"

    "Kill the enemy and serve the country, even if you die, you will have no regrets!"

    "Kill the enemy and serve the country, even if you die, you will have no regrets!"

    Yu Xuezhong nodded and said nothing. He knew very well that some trends in the national army were already deeply ingrained. Even if these people spoke nicely now, they would completely forget what they had just said when they looked back.

    Yu Xuezhong has seen too many such things over the years. Not to mention him as a small war zone commander, even Chairman Chiang has no way to do anything about it.

    Thinking back to the Battle of Pingjin two years ago, hundreds of thousands of national troops fought against the strength of a few Japanese divisions. The result was that the battle in the south entrance direction was pretty good, and other places were like a joke.

    And after the fall of Zhangjiakou, Nankou was attacked from both sides. The Nankou battlefield, which fought the best, could only give up its position and the troops retreated and transferred.

    With the fall of the Zhangjiakou-Nankou important area, Chahar Province was no longer in danger. By the end of the month, Chahar Province had fallen. The Japanese Kwantung Army and the North China Japanese Army met inside and outside the Great Wall, and a more ferocious strategic force was formed.

    While fighting on the Pingsui Road, General Liu Zhi did not even engage in any battle with the Japanese army on the Ping-Han line. Several divisions waited for the Japanese invaders to arrive and fled. They were able to retreat dozens of kilometers in one day. From then on, they won the "Long-term victory".  "Leg General" nickname.

      On the Jinpu line, the Chinese army was also vulnerable. They lost consecutive battles and simply stopped fighting the Japanese army in the later stage.

    The defeated troops were in small groups, robbing donkeys along the way, disturbing the people, and discipline was broken. The bad habits of the old warlord period were vividly exposed.

    Although Chairman Chiang Kai-shek's deployment of troops in North China was a bluff at that time, and preparations for a showdown with the Japanese army on the Songhu battlefield were real, the National Army in North China also had 80 divisions with 600,000 troops, and they were able to defeat them in less than one month.  Being completely defeated, this unexpected ending left everyone dumbfounded.

    Not to mention 600,000 people, even if there are 600,000 pigs, the little devils cannot wipe them all out so quickly.

    After signaling everyone to be quiet, Yu Xuezhong said in a deep voice: "After the Japanese army occupied Guangzhou and Wuhan, due to limitations in military strength and political needs, they began to engage in protracted operations in an attempt to consolidate their positions in Hebei, Chahar, and  Suiyuan, Shanxi, Shandong, Henan, Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Hubei, Hunan, Fujian, Guangdong and other occupied areas; encircle and annihilate our anti-Japanese troops behind enemy lines and destroy anti-Japanese base areas; establish a puppet regime; start to rectify transportation and expand  Japanese goods are plundering materials in China's trade market and exploiting mineral deposits in North and Central China in an attempt to achieve goals that are difficult to achieve with military force alone. Therefore, we will be the main target of the Japanese army next, so please be mentally prepared for this."

    "You should know the situation in Shandong better than me, a foreigner. Now the little devils have captured the entire Shandong and Jiangsu, and have established a puppet regime and army under the kneeling support of the traitor Ma Liang and others. According to incomplete statistics,  , there are now more than 80,000 Japanese troops in Shandong alone, and there are also 30,000 to 40,000 puppet troops."

    "On the other hand, our current regular combat forces only have a few limited units such as the 51st Army, 57th Army, and 89th Army. The total strength is only about 50,000. They are not opponents at the same level as the Japanese army. Therefore, I hope that you will be able to command  You must think carefully when fighting, don't act blindly, and you must cherish the lives of the soldiers in your hands."

    Yu Xuezhong knows very well that although most of the lower-level officers and soldiers are commendable for their loyalty and bravery, and are willing to die to serve the country, and thousands of them shed blood on the battlefield, the quality of many middle- and senior-level generals in the army is worrying.

    ¡°Many of them are from the old warlords. They don¡¯t regard the soldiers in their hands as human beings at all. They beat or scold them. Some even treat the soldiers as their own private property, which is really too much.

    "Also, the command quality of some officers is really worrying. They are afraid of the enemy mentally and are indecisive in decision-making. It is really a crime to give the command of the troops to these people.

    ¡°But given the national conditions, Yu Xuezhong can¡¯t control this kind of thing, so he can only improve it.

    "I just received the latest combat order from the Military Commission yesterday. The Japanese army is about to attack Nanchang. I hope our department can launch a small-scale offensive in the Shandong area to contain the main force of the Japanese army in North China and prevent it from going south to reinforce the Nanchang station.  Let¡¯s think about what to do!¡± Yu Xuezhong said.

    As soon as he finished speaking, Han Deqin, commander of the 89th Army and Chairman of Jiangsu Province, immediately stood up and said: "Since it was an order from the Military Commission, I shouldn't have said anything else, but our troops in northern Jiangsu were just attacked by the Japanese army.  All the troops suffered heavy losses, and basically all 17 counties in northern Jiangsu were captured by the Japanese army. It was difficult for the Japs to withdraw their troops. If we cause trouble, we will definitely recruit the main force of the Japs here again!"

    However, Shen Honglie, the former mayor of Qingdao and commander of the Third Fleet, immediately said: "Come here, we will still be afraid of them! Besides, now that we have three fully-manned infantry corps, it is not without the strength to fight.  I suggest you find a suitable county to try out the waters first!"

    Yu Xuezhong nodded and said: "Since it is an order from the Military Commission, we naturally cannot refuse it. Then we will first choose a county to do it and feel the soft and hard scalp of the little devil!"

    As he spoke, Yu Xuezhong looked at the map, suddenly pointed at one of the points and said: "I think this place is good, let's hit here first!"

    Everyone looked in the direction of Yu Xuezhong's finger and found that this point was the seat of Yinan County!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
