Chapter 550 The power of the masses

Before Zhang Chi finished speaking, Staff Liang said "Oh".

The Japanese army's defense forces were scattered in every township of the puppet Manchukuo, and there was a need for combat in every township. This demand was not only to defend the harassment of guerrillas, but also to sweep the Japanese army's force to suppress the people. Therefore, there was a lot of ammunition reserves, and if they were gathered, it was very likely to exceed ammunition from North Korea or the Manchuria-Mongolia border.

"Master!" After hearing this, the fellow villagers couldn't help but frown: "These ammunition is too scattered... We are afraid it will be difficult to limit it!"

"Yes!" Chief Liang sighed and said, "It is scattered in various townships, and our troops are seriously insufficient. If we want to limit the Japanese ammunition... we must first break it into pieces, and it will be easily defeated by the Japanese!"

"Not necessarily!" Zhang Chi replied.

"What do you mean?" asked Staff Liang.

"We may not be able to do it, but someone will do it!" Zhang Chi explained: "We can use the power of the masses!"

"The power of the masses?" Staff Liang and his fellow villagers couldn't help but look at each other.

This is not because of Liang's strategy and fellow villagers. They grew up in the Kuomintang army... The relationship between the Kuomintang and the people has always been inconsistent. In fact, the Kuomintang represents the interests of the landlord class and the bourgeoisie. Chiang Kai-shek's policy of governing the country has always been to control the landlords and capitalists and then control the people through them.

Therefore, the Kuomintang army often stands opposite to the people, and it is not uncommon to "catch strong men" in this war period.

Therefore, the ** troops usually do not consider "using the power of the masses"... The masses are their own enemies, and the masses can do it without causing trouble for themselves, and can they still use it for the **!

However, the situation is completely different now. The people of the puppet Manchukuo lived in dire straits under the oppression of the Japanese army. In contrast, those actions of ** can be said to be nothing at all. Not only are they nothing but also "mercy". In addition, Zhang Chi's ** troops are also the well-known "Chinese Expeditionary Force", so of course they can use this reputation to call on the "power of the masses" to complete this seemingly impossible task.

In fact, the power to mobilize the masses as Zhang Chi said had already begun when the Chinese Expeditionary Force entered the puppet Manchukuo. For example, organizing militias, organizing transportation teams, and even organizing people to help the expeditionary forces excavate fortifications in Qiqihar and Harbin. The help of the people is indispensable.

However, as it is now... it is the first time that the people have spontaneous uprising to disrupt the transportation and logistics supply of the Japanese army.

But now is the time, because the Chinese expeditionary army at this time can be said to be at its peak... Since its invasion into the puppet Manchukuo, it has been unsuccessful and has never been defeated, but the Japanese army is like a dog with a broken family fleeing everywhere. Although the undercurrent is surging, the people only look at the surface, so it is easy to respond to the Japanese army's attacks.

While Zhang Chi and others were preparing for the battle in full swing, Naosaburo Okabe who was hiding in Mudanjiang looked worried...

He escaped from Xinjing with the royal family of the puppet Manchukuo. He was originally going to flee to Harbin, but when he was about to arrive, he encountered the puppet troops who escaped from Harbin... After asking, he realized that Harbin had been occupied by the Chinese team.

Naosaburo Okabe couldn't help but curse for a while, but he was impressed by the rapid raid strategy of the Zhongxun team and was very impressed by the tactics... The Zhongxun team could be said to have every step in front of him. He clearly had an army several times more than the Zhongxun team, but they were beaten to no avail.

But no matter how much he scolded, Naosaburo Okabe, who was carrying the royal family, did not dare to neglect it. He quickly changed the direction of the march and headed towards Mudanjiang east of Harbin... Naosaburo Okabe was worried that if his speed was too slow, even Mudanjiang would be occupied by the Chinese, so he, the commander of the Third Front Army, would not even have a base.

Fortunately, the Central ** team is insufficient, so they cannot keep their eyes on Mudanjiang for the time being, which makes Okabe Naosaburo at least have a place to stay.

After settled down, Naosaburo Okabe opened the map and couldn't help but sigh heavily... The Chinese team had occupied most of the Zhongchang Railway, which allowed the Chinese team to use the railway to quickly maneuver and transport supplies, but the Japanese army could only walk on two legs... Even because the Zhongchang Railway was in the shape of "Ding", the puppet Manchukuo was divided into three parts that could not be connected with each other after the Zhongchang Railway occupied the Zhongchang Railway.

Originally, he was full of confidence in regaining Manchukuo because he knew that the Great Japanese Empire would not give up such an important resource area of ​​Manchukuo... It can even be said that if Manchukuo gave up, the Japanese mainland would almost lose all the resources from colonial areas, and the channels plundered from Thailand, Singapore and other places were cut off.

Therefore, Naosaburo Okabe believes that reinforcements from Okamura Yasuji and Japan will arrive soon, and it will be effortless to defeat the current "Chinese Expeditionary Force" with only more than 100,000 people.

Who would have thought...

Okamura Yasuji actually sent only two divisions to reinforce, and the Japanese mainland surprised Okabe Naosaburo. Not only did he not have reinforcements, he did not even have the fighter planes and supplies he had originally planned to send.

"Why did Prime Minister Hideki Tojo resign at this time?!" Naosaburo Okabe sighed: "This is too bad!"

What Okabe Naosaburo didn't know was that this was not a coincidence, but Zhang Chi was intentional.

Now Naosaburo Okabe can only wait in Mudanjiang, waiting for Japan, which was scattered in the eastern townships of Manchuria, to come and gather. Only then did he cooperate with the 63rd Division and the 59th Division returning from the Manchuria-Mongolia border to attack Qiqihar and Harbin.

Only by taking these two cities can the smooth flow of the Middle East Railway, and the Japanese army can rely on the Middle East Railway to defend. More importantly, only by taking these two cities can the poisonous gas bombs and bacteria bombs be regained, so that they can be invincible in the battle of Manchukuo.

After looking at the map for a while, Naosaburo Okabe ordered: "Order the 320th Division to attack Yingkou, and the 117th Division to attack Siping! The faster the better!"

"Yes!" The staff officer responded and immediately conveyed the order.

Naosaburo Okabe used these two divisions to attack Yingkou and Siping respectively, not because he hoped that they could win these two strategic locations, but because he hoped to some extent that the logistics of the China ** team was able to organize a counterattack in the north.
