When the Japanese army was busy dispatching troops and generals, Li Guoyao was not idle either!
When he learned about the frequent mobilization of the Japanese army, he soon realized that the Japs were going to attack southern Shanxi. You must know that the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain was the most important operation of the Japanese army in North China in 1941.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Historically, the time for the Japanese army¡¯s attack should be May 7. Calculating the time, it should be this time to prepare for the war.
Knowing that the Japs were preparing to attack Zhongtiao Mountain, Li Guoyao could not sit still. He knew how badly the Chinese army had been defeated in this battle.
After the First World War, in less than a month, due to insufficient preparation and lack of unified command, most of the hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops collapsed except for a few who broke through. 35,000 people were captured and 42,000 corpses were abandoned.
In this battle, the Japanese army only killed 673 people and injured more than 2,000 people. The huge disparity in casualties between the two sides was unique in the entire War of Resistance. After the war, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek publicly stated that this was the greatest shame in the history of China's War of Resistance.
After this battle, the Japanese army captured the entire Zhongtiao Mountain, opening the door south to the hinterland of Henan. Luoyang was in danger!
Whether it was due to considerations of strategic situation or expanding the scope of activities, Li Guoyao felt that he could not stand idly by and let the little devils take Zhongtiao Mountain so easily.
Therefore, Li Guoyao decided to go to Shannan to join in the fun!
But the main battlefield of this battle is in Zhongtiao Mountain, and the main force of Li Guoyao's army is in Lunan. If you want to participate in this battle, you must prepare as soon as possible.
After thinking about it again and again, on April 30, Li Guoyao, in the name of the temporary commander of the Ninth Army, issued an order to the troops in Xiong'er Mountain to assemble and go north!
According to Li Guoyao's order, the main force stationed at Xiong'er Mountain must be assembled within two days, and then head north from Xiong'er Mountain to southern Hebei.
Different from the previous mobilization of only part of the troops, this time Li Guoyao not only ordered the main force of the Ninth Army to move northward, but at the same time, Lu Wenlong, Wen Debiao and Zhu Hong's Haicheng detachment each deployed a regiment of troops to Xiong'er Mountain to make up for the loss after the departure of the Ninth Army. The troops are empty.
For this troop transfer, Li Guoyao carefully considered it, not only because he wanted to participate in the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, but more importantly, he wanted to find a future for this unit under his command.
It has been nearly four years since he raised the troops in 1937. In the past four years, he has led his troops to fight in the north and south, fighting the Japanese army, the puppet troops, traitors, and bandits, and fought thousands of miles. The bloody battle lasted for thousands of days.
The entire army has grown from hundreds to tens of thousands, from tens of thousands to thousands, and now to tens of thousands.
During this period, they raised their own food and salaries, manufactured their own weapons and ammunition, and even relied on themselves for pensions for fallen soldiers and placement of disabled officers and soldiers. In this way, they were still subject to suspicion and calculations from Chongqing.
To be honest, neither Li Guoyao nor his officers and soldiers have almost zero sense of belonging to Chongqing!
Fighting the Japanese is because the blood of Yanhuang flows in the body, not because the body is wearing the uniform of the Nationalist Government!
Li Guoyao was almost certain that after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the best outcome for him and his troops would be to be annexed by Chongqing and then dragged to the battlefield to fight civil war, just like the Northeastern Army after the war.
This is definitely not what Li Guoyao wants to see, so he must find a future for his brothers!
Based on Li Guoyao¡¯s understanding of history, the future belongs to Yan¡¯an, so the best way out is to join Yan¡¯an.
But this idea is just a thought. From the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War to the present, only Lu Zhengcao led a regiment of national troops to defect to the Eighth Route Army, but just because of this regiment caused serious dissatisfaction in Chongqing.
And Li Guoyao has more than one regiment, and even more than one army. If he surrenders to Yan'an, it will inevitably cause extremely serious consequences and may even cause a breakdown in the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.
If something like this happens, this is definitely not something Li Guoyao wants to see!
Therefore, it is absolutely not allowed to take refuge in the Eighth Route Army now!
Since we cannot surrender to the Eighth Route Army, what is the future of this army?
Li Guoyao had asked Wang Zhanhai and Xu Hu about this before, but the answers they gave were completely different. Xu Hu meant that with the current combat effectiveness of the army and the resources at its disposal, it is completely possible to occupy a stable territory and occupy the mountain as king. , such as Shandong.
??In Xu Hu¡¯s words, they have now effectively controlled southwestern Shandong and northern Anhui. Together with the troops in Xiong¡¯er Mountain and northern Jiangsu, there is almost no problem in taking down Xuzhou and more than a dozen counties and districts nearby.
In this way, ?We can definitely establish an independent kingdom starting from central Anhui in the south, southern Hebei in the north, eastern Henan in the west, and the East China Sea in the east.
Not only is this area quite large, but it is also one of the most densely populated places in northern China. With the help of its population resources, it is bound to become a city like Yan Xishan in Shanxi, He Jian in Hunan, Long Yun in Yunnan, Wang Zanxu in Guizhou, etc. A great warlord like a human being.
But Wang Zhanhai had a different idea. He didn¡¯t like to be the king of the mountain. He hoped that Li Guoyao could one day lead his brothers to realize the common wish of all Northeast Army brothers - to fight back to his hometown in Northeast China!
After the "September 18th Incident", the Japanese army invaded and occupied the three northeastern provinces. The white mountains and black waters were trampled on, and the fathers, children, and wives were ravaged.
The Northeastern Army left the enemy alone, but was transferred by Chiang Kai-shek to fight the civil war within the Pass. From the Northeast to North China, from North China to Central China, and from Central China to the Northwest, they were displaced and in miserable conditions for years
After thinking about it, I feel so sad.
¡°In recent years, the Northeast Army has only one wish, and that is to fight back to its hometown in Northeast China.
Li Guoyao doesn¡¯t want to be a warlord. There is no way out for a warlord, so he prefers to lead his troops back to the Northeast!
In the past, such conditions may not have been met. First, their strength was very weak, while the Kwantung Army in the Northeast was strong. The two were not opponents of the same magnitude at all.
¡°But now the Pacific War is about to break out, and the Japanese army and the United States, Britain and other countries are about to go to war. By then, the Japanese army will inevitably dispatch its main troops from the Northeast to Southeast Asia.
Li Guoyao knew that less than three years after the outbreak of the Pacific War, the Japanese army transferred hundreds of thousands of elite troops from the Kwantung Army to the south.
Although the Kwantung Army continued to expand its troops from hundreds of thousands to millions in order to protect its face and guard against the Soviet army, in fact it was just a golden jade that was defeated on the outside and became vulnerable.
Therefore, Li Guoyao felt that it was time for him to consider returning to Northeast China!
After all, the distance from the Shandong battlefield to the Northeast is not tens of miles or hundreds of miles. This is a troop mobilization across several provinces, and it cannot be completed in three or two days.
If you are determined to fight back to the Northeast, then this is the time to prepare!
Li Guoyao had been undecided about what to do before, but now he finally figured out that whether it was for himself or for the soldiers under his command, he should prepare for a rainy day!
After thinking about it again and again, Li Guoyao finally decided that he must fight back to his hometown in the Northeast and fulfill the long-cherished wish of all the Northeast Army officers and soldiers!
As I thought before, the mobilization of tens of thousands of troops is not a trivial matter, and it is difficult to hide it from the eyes of the Military Command Bureau and the Japanese Special High-Tech Department, so this matter must be done slowly.
Taking advantage of the Japanese army's attack on Zhongtiao Mountain in southern Shanxi, Li Guoyao first transferred half of his troops to the Shanxi battlefield, and then found a way to pull the troops to the Suiyuan-Chahar line, so that the troops would not be far from the northeast.
Therefore, it is true that the troops will participate in the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain this time, but more importantly, they want to take this opportunity to transfer the troops to northern Xinjiang!
Once the troops arrive in the northern Xinjiang region, they can not only break away from the constraints of Chongqing, but also concentrate on developing the troops. When the time comes, the army will go all the way east and fight directly back to its hometown in the Northeast.
Of course, Li Guoyao is just thinking about this idea to himself and has not mentioned it to anyone, not even his most trusted people such as Xu Hu, Wang Zhanhai, Ma Desheng and others.
It¡¯s not that you can¡¯t say it, but it¡¯s not necessary!
It is not appropriate to discuss such a matter right now. It will not be too late to discuss it when the time is right! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
