I fought guerrilla warfare in the Yimeng Mountains during the Anti-Japanese War

The two men sat down, the guard poured them tea, closed the door and went out to stand guard.

"Brother Shen, I came from Shijiu."

Shen Honglie looked confused. Is there something going on at Shijiu?

"We just sent away a team, including Wang Hanqiang from the Third Regiment and a hundred special warfare elites who are familiar with Japanese."

Shen Honglie's brain was working rapidly. Was he going to assassinate the Japanese emperor? However, if a hundred special forces elites who were familiar with Japanese could successfully land on the island, it was not impossible.

"Their destination is French Indochina."

Shen Honglie was a little confused. What was there? Monkeys or elephants? No, French, Japanese, they were going to cause trouble!

"Brother, do you want the Japanese to take action in advance and drag the United States into the water?"

"Yes, I have deduced it countless times. It will take at least half a year for the Japanese to attack the south, and it will take at least a year to go to war with the United States. We can't wait any longer. If we wait any longer, we will be emptied out by the Japanese."

"Can't we cut off the Jinpu Line and the Longhai East Line?"

"Okay. In that case, it will be a fight to the death between us and the Japanese. Even though the Japanese don't dare to attack us now, if they really go all out to deal with us, we probably won't last more than a month."

Seeing that Shen Honglie was a little doubtful, Chen Feng raised four fingers.

"Four aircraft carrier battle groups besieged the coast, Jinan Airport, Beiping Airport, and four airports south of the Huaihe River and north of the Yangtze River, with five hundred to one thousand sorties of aircraft. The Jinpu Line and the Longhai East Line have 70,000 troops, 100,000 from North China, 100,000 from Central China, 50,000 each from Guandong and South China, and another 100,000 to 200,000 from the country. With an army of 500,000 and 500 aircraft taking turns bombing, do you think we can really hold out for a month?"

"They are crazy, Chongqing will not sit idly by."

"If they voluntarily abandon the city of Wuhan and retreat to Jiujiang to defend themselves, using naval guns and Jiujiang Anqing Airport to help with defense, the other side may not have such a big appetite."

"What about North China? The entire Shanxi area is not at peace."

"We gave up some small counties and used the iron wall to encircle the remaining bunkers to defend the Taihang Mountains. There were no heavy weapons there, and the price we paid to occupy some territory was too high. Compared with the Jinpu Line and the Longhai East Line, these things we gave up were not worth mentioning."

Shen Honglie was a little depressed. After all this time, it was not that the Japanese were unable to deal with him, but that they weighed the pros and cons and felt that it was unnecessary.

"Don't worry, Brother Shen. As long as we don't move the Jinpu Line and the Longhai East Line, there will be no danger for the time being. The Japanese devils don't have that much courage."

"Is it easy to operate over there? Don't provoke hostility from the whole world."

"Wang Hanqiang, you know that all 100 of them are the elite among the elites. There is no possibility of them being captured. Even if they are captured, they will take the initiative to reveal Japanese dialects, including dialects from Hokkaido to Kyushu."

“What do I need to do here?”

Shen Honglie finally got to the point.

"You don't need to intervene here. Let me deduce the situation on the European battlefield for you first!"

This is a leap of thought, a wild imagination! We were just discussing the Japanese and Indochina, and now we have suddenly moved to the European battlefield. Don't you think about whether you can bear it or not? But I like to listen to the cold gun's deduction the most.

"Britain and Germany are engaged in an air war now. Judging from the current results, Germany cannot completely crush the Royal Air Force. I expect the air war to stop in the middle of this year. Without air superiority, Germany cannot attack the British mainland. So, in which direction will Germany's powerful army fire?"

Shen Honglie also had some understanding of the international situation and instantly thought of something.

"The North? They have a non-aggression agreement!"

"The agreement can be torn up. Let's wait and see in the middle of this year! If both sides still maintain peace, then my speculation has failed, and there is no need to mention your plan, but the necessary preparations must still be made."

Shen Honglie was completely confused after hearing this. He didn't know what the plan was and whether it was good or not.

"Our great Northeast! It has been occupied by the Japanese for so many years. How many cities of Qingdao do you think it can withstand?"

"There's no way to compare them! There's all heavy industry over there, and here there's mostly light industry. If you really want to compare, twenty or thirty is no more, no less."

"If, I mean if, the Soviet Union and Germany go to war, or the United States and Japan go to war, and if the war develops in our favor, who is closest to the three northeastern provinces?"

"Brother, don't let me go. I'm dizzy. Just tell me the result of your inference! I believe you."

"Well, let's start recruiting and training soldiers now. The harder we train in the winter, the more intense the training. Once the Japanese army shows signs of fatigue, we must quickly send troops to the Northeast and occupy all major cities before the Russians do. We must protect the pillar heavy industries and make sure they are not destroyed by the Japanese or taken away by the Russians."

"Will something like this really happen? Brother, it's not that I don't believe you, but this is a serious matter, you have to give me reassurance."

"You recruit soldiers and train them first, and then see what the Soviet-German situation will be like in the middle of the year. If my guess is right, then what I said will most likely happen. If I guess wrong, you just happen to need to increase troops to control the peninsula, and then launch an offensive in the spring of next year, giving the new recruits a chance to receive actual combat training."

Shen Honglie was determined.

"Brother, I'm listening to you. Do you want to inform our family?"

"There is no need to inform them. They may not believe it. You are not protecting their industry, but the industry of the poor and weak ethnic groups. Do you understand?"

The level of coolness instantly rose several levels, and Shen Honglie's face was full of veins with excitement.

"Okay, then it's settled. I'll recruit soldiers first. I have no place to spend the money anyway, and I'm worried about hiding it anywhere, so I might as well spend it on new recruits. If I can really preserve the Northeast's industries, it will be considered as repaying the Marshal's kindness."

"Brother Shen, don't tell your subordinates yet. The time is not right. The focus now is preparation."

"Don't worry! My voice may be a little loud, but I still have a strong sense of confidentiality."

Seeing that Chen Feng had finished speaking, Shen Honglie called on his men to prepare food. Without his brothers here, he always felt that the sea breeze in Qingdao was very cold.

The old men of the New Fourth Division respected Chen Feng as much as their own divisional commander. From a group of fleeing defeated soldiers to the current 20,000 elite troops, it was not an exaggeration to say that Captain Leng Qiang deserved half of the credit. The chef showed off his eighteen skills and the ingredients were carefully selected. Eight dishes and two soups were a bit luxurious for two people.

"Are they all not here?"

Shen Honglie knew who Chen Feng was talking about.

"I've already been assigned to the regiment. Although the Japanese haven't made any moves, I dare not relax at all! If they launch a surprise attack on us, the losses could be huge."

"By the way, how are the overseas Chinese? I hope they are not starving or freezing to death?"

"Are they all in prison? Dozens of them died. They were all disobedient and should not be spoiled. We dealt with some of the troublemakers and the rest have become obedient."

"Brother Shen, you are just locking them up and letting them eat dry food. Don't you have any construction work to do? If all else fails, you can put on shackles and work in a factory. It's not shameful to earn food through labor."
