    Judging from normal circumstances, Okamura Neiji¡¯s inference is not wrong. Ordinary wars really cannot shake Li Guoyao¡¯s determination to march to the Northeast.

    ¡°For example, from the end of last year to nearly eight months now, there have been many major battles in the pass, and Li Guoyao¡¯s reaction to these was very dull.

    Even when Wu Wenhua and others surrendered to the enemy, and even when the Sulu war zone was destroyed by the Japanese army, Li Guoyao did not speak out, let alone order the troops to fight back, to support the old commander Yu Xuezhong.

    But this battle was different. The negative impact of the Battle of Henan, Hunan and Guangxi on China was so great that Li Guoyao had to put aside the good situation in the Northeast and join the war.

    In a word, Li Guoyao was also forced!

    You must know that the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Henan, Hunan and Guangxi not only caused China to lose more than 200,000 square kilometers of land in Henan, Hunan, Guangxi, Guizhou, Fujian and other provinces, but tens of millions of people lived under the cruel iron heel of the Japanese army.  A large number of civilians were also killed. In Pingxiang alone, 19,000 people were killed and 20,000 people were captured.

    In addition, this battle also caused 500,000 to 600,000 casualties to the Chinese army. China lost its important industrial base in Henan, Hunan, Guangxi and Guangdong, and factories in the four provinces all fell into the hands of the Japanese army.

    Hunan and Henan provinces lost important agricultural producing areas. Hunan is also the producing area of ??important tungsten ore, antimony ore and other important resources. This failure greatly weakened China¡¯s anti-Japanese strength and seriously affected the Chinese people¡¯s anti-Japanese confidence.

    More importantly, the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Henan, Hunan and Guangxi seriously affected China's international status and laid the foundation for China's loss of Outer Mongolia.

    Originally, China's ranking among the top four of the Anti-Fascist International League aroused dissatisfaction with the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union. However, it was only because of the strong support of the United States and the bloody battles of the Chinese military and civilians that China maintained its status as one of the top four. At that time, the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Henan, Hunan, and Guangxi caused  The strong dissatisfaction of the United Kingdom, the United States and the Soviet Union with the Chinese National Government caused the three powers to re-adjust China's international status.

    Originally, according to the strategic plan of the International Anti-Fascist Alliance, the mission of the Chinese army was to hold the Japanese army in the areas east of the Yellow River and north of the Yangtze River.

    The Allied Forces will first solve the European battlefield and eliminate the German and Italian fascists. During this period, they will assist China and build southern China into a strategic base for counterattacking the Japanese army. After the Allied forces eliminate the German and Italian fascists, they will then attack the Japanese army from north to south with the Chinese army and the Soviet Red Army.

    However, the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Henan, Hunan, and Guangxi caused the Allied strategic plan to go bankrupt. Originally, the Allies built multiple Sino-US joint air bases in Hunan and Guangxi as the basis for counterattacking the Japanese army. However, the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Henan, Hunan, and Guangxi made Hengyang,  Seven air force bases and 36 airports including Lingling, Baoqing, Guilin, and Liuzhou were all destroyed. This made it impossible to implement the plan to attack the Japanese army from the north and the south. The Allies had to place their hope of defeating the Japanese army on the Soviet Red Army. This resulted in  The serious consequence is that China lost its sovereignty over Outer Mongolia.

    The disastrous defeat in the Battle of Henan, Hunan, and Guangxi was a war comparable to the disastrous defeat of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1899. With the defeat of Sino-Japanese War, China lost Taiwan, and with the defeat of Henan, Hunan, and Guangxi, China lost the sovereignty of Outer Mongolia.

    Originally, China was invited to participate in the preparations for the Yalta Conference, but the disastrous defeat in this battle meant that China lost the right to plan the post-war world order. At the Yalta Conference, China once again became a victim.

    The Soviet Union took the opportunity to speak loudly, and the United States and Britain jointly sacrificed China's rights and interests in order to allow the Soviet Red Army to send troops as soon as possible. According to the "Yalta Agreement", China lost its sovereignty over Outer Mongolia and most of its rights and interests in Northeast China. The 1919 Paris Peace Conference  The scene happened again.

    But this failure is even more humiliating. At the Paris Peace Conference, we still had the right to refuse to sign. This time we did not even have the right to refuse to sign. The real "betraying you has nothing to do with you." Fortunately, the Chinese Expeditionary Force's counterattack in northern Myanmar  The victory allowed China to retain the name of "Five Permanent Members", otherwise the consequences would be more serious.

    The impact of the Battle of Henan, Hunan and Guangxi goes far beyond this. The impact of this battle on Japan was also quite profound.

    First of all, this battle captured a large amount of supplies for Japan and strengthened the Japanese army's aggressive power.  Regarding the Battle of Henan, Hunan and Guangxi, the Japanese army commented: "In any case, our army captured Guilin and then Liuzhou without encountering much resistance from the enemy during the offensive. It took advantage of the enemy's wavering to codename it "Xu"  The two divisions conducted a decisive attack and achieved complete success, seizing a large amount of munitions, especially American weapons and ammunition."

    During this battle, the Japanese pursuit troops captured several Chinese army military trains on the Huaiyuan Railway. There were 11 steam locomotives, 106 freight trains, and 4 passenger trains. A large amount of military supplies were seized from the trains.

    According to future inventory, this batch of weapons and equipment has an astonishing amount, including twelve anti-tank guns, anti-tank guns, etc.40 tons of munitions, 40 tons of 150 mm grenades, 90 tons of mountain artillery shells, 17 tons of 15 mm machine gun shells, 10 tons of 20 mm machine gun shells, 7 aircraft engines, 160 tons of aerial bombs, 17 tons of aviation fuel, 20 tons of mechanical parts,  500 tons of grain and 400 tons of coal.

    This is just the result of the pursuit. From this, we can still see the power used by the US military to assist the Chinese army in Gui and Liu. Most of these weapons and equipment fell into the hands of the Japanese, which greatly increased the Japanese army's aggressive power.

    It was precisely because of the seizure of a large amount of ammunition, uniforms, aviation fuel, railway equipment, machinery and other munitions stored by the national army in the areas west of Guilin and Liuzhou that it brought great benefits to the 11th Army's self-war and self-sustainment activities.  A strange phenomenon occurred on the front line. After the Japanese army's standard weapons and ammunition were obviously insufficient, almost all frontline troops used machine guns and artillery captured by the Chinese army as their main equipment.

    Secondly, the Battle of Henan, Hunan and Guangxi established Japan's post-war status and laid the foundation for the retention of Japanese militarism.

    The Battle of Henan, Xianggui and Guangxi was Japan's declaration to the world that Japan still had a strong resistance and that Japan was more valuable than China. This influenced the United States' postwar choice to retain Japan's militaristic power, which largely influenced later  the outcome of the Tokyo Trial.

    Now that I think about it, Japan's choice to surrender on August 15 was a very insidious decision. It chose to surrender while Japan still had resistance and all parties were not ready, and then took the opportunity to reach a compromise with the alliance, retaining Japan's original  system, which has to be said to be a huge shame to our country.

    China¡¯s fourteen-year war of resistance sacrificed the blood of countless soldiers and civilians, and its achievements were ruined due to the tragic defeat of Henan, Hunan and Guangxi. It was really "ten years of work, ruined in one day".

    If the Battle of Henan, Hunan and Guangxi is victorious, the National Revolutionary Army, the Allied Forces and the Soviet Red Army attack the Japanese from the north and south, and the Eighth Route Army, the New Fourth Army, and the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces "bloom in the center", then none of the Japanese invaders will be able to escape.

    ¡°At that time, the Chinese flag could also be planted on the Japanese Capitol Building like the Soviet Red Army did. By then, the culprit of Japanese militarism, not even Hirohito, would be able to escape the trial of the International Military Tribunal.

    But history has no ifs. To this day, China is still tasting the bitter consequences of the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Henan, Hunan and Guangxi.

    It is precisely because of such serious consequences that Li Guoyao had to come back to take charge of the overall situation in person, even if it would affect his layout in the Northeast, even if the Ninth Army would be completely exposed in this battle, and even suffer heavy losses.

    But he can no longer care about this. Compared with national interests, everything else can be put behind him.

    So Okamura Neji feels bitter, and Li Guoyao feels even more bitter. He really wants to say something to Okamura Neji: "I was forced to do this too!"

    It was precisely because of Li Guoyao's unexpected decision that he was caught off guard by Neji Okamura.

    Li Guoyao¡¯s troops participated in the war, which was definitely not good news for Okamura Neji.

    Okamura Neiji knows the current situation of the North China Front best. He is not worried about the fact that he and Li Guoyao's troops were locked in a fight eight months ago. But now, he really doesn't have the confidence.  .

    Up to now, the war situation of the Imperial Japanese Army in the Central and South Pacific and Burma has become increasingly severe. In Indonesia, Java, Sumatra and other islands are often bombed by Allied aircraft.

    In order to cope with the upcoming serious situation in the Philippines, in accordance with the orders of the Japanese base camp, the Southern Army Headquarters under Marshal Juichi Terauchi, who had been stationed in Singapore for a long time, began to move eastward, passing through Kalimantan Island to Manila in the Philippines.  Be prepared to deal with more serious situations on land and at sea in this area.

    In view of the serious shortage of troops in the Southern Army, the Chinese battlefield became the blood bank of the Southern Army. A large number of elite troops from the North China Front Army were transferred to the Southern Army, including the elite 32nd Division, 33rd Division, 35th Division, and 36th Division.  etc.

    So that although the North China Front currently has 10 divisions in name, plus 9 mixed brigades and 11 independent garrison equivalent to the brigade level, the total strength is 280,000, plus 18 cooperating combat troops.  The total strength of the Wanhuang Alliance Army is still as high as 460,000.

    But I know my own situation well. Among the eight divisions, only the 27th Division and the 37th Division are truly combat-effective, followed by the 110th Division. As for the later formations such as the 47th Division, the 59th Division, and the 62nd Division,  Division, 63rd Division, 144th Division, 145th Division, 118th Division, it¡¯s really hard to describe in one word!

    The most important thing is that the four divisions of the 12th Army and a large number of technical arms are currently on the battlefield in Henan. Looking at the entire North China, Shanxi, Hebei and Shandong plus the Pingjin area, the total number of all troops is only 150,000 or 60,000. On average, there are only 150,000 troops.  There are only 30,000 to 40,000 people in each province.

    No matter where Li Guoyao's troops concentrated their forces to attack, the Imperial Japanese Army would suffer a great deal. Therefore, Li Guoyao's troops once again hit Okamura Neji's waist this time.
