Chapter 596: Victory in the War of Resistance (the finale)
Wang Mingyu returned to the country, and the war had intensified at this moment, and the whole of China was in a state of smoke and war. However, unlike before, this time, China's own people were the protagonists. The Japanese army began to retreat step by step, and they divided the anti-Japanese forces in Northeast China, North China, Central China, South China, Southwest China, Northwest China and other regions, and began their unprecedented counterattack.
The 18th Army guarding the southwestern border also eliminated all the Japanese troops in the southwest region. In fact, the return of the 18th Army greatly inspired the momentum of the Anti-Japanese War and increased the enthusiasm of the people of the whole country to resist. The Japanese army's retreat gradually made the current situation increasingly stable. In the helplessness of the Japanese army, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Front, Okamura Yasuji went to the forefront of history at this moment, but what he left was only a mess.
The Japanese army tried to make some changes, but they knew that if the situation was to be restored, many factors must appear. However, now China has only one goal, that is, a strategic counterattack. Not only does the CCP hope to end the civil war as soon as possible, Chairman Chiang also hopes to end the civil war as soon as possible before he can start to eliminate the internal thieves in justification, so that the entire China is controlled by his hands. Therefore, this Sino-Japanese war is necessary.
Time passes by, and time passes. The battle between China and Japan has reached a white-hot level. In July 194, the Japanese army was no longer able to do it. Under the double blows of the Allied forces and the Chinese battlefield, the Japanese army had to start to consider the possibility of failure in the Chinese battlefield. I didn’t want to know it, but I was shocked to think about it. The Japanese army suddenly discovered that once the Chinese battlefield failed, then what they followed was the entire empire’s edifice.
The Southwest Liberation! This news came to the ears of the entire Chinese people at the first time, and it was so exciting at this moment. Then, the central China was revived and the northeast was revived, and the entire war situation gradually became clear. In August 194, the Japanese army had already begun to retreat near Taiwan. Then, with the cooperation of the US Pacific Fleet, the Japanese army withdrew from Taiwan and the Penghu Islands and began to retreat to the country.
On August 15, 194, China completely drove the Japanese army out of China. Unlike history, this time, the Japanese army was driven back to their hometown before they had time to surrender. And how much does this victory mean to China?
First of all, the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan ended the history of China's repeated defeats during foreign invasions in modern times. It was the first completely victorious national liberation war in more than a hundred years. Starting from 1840, imperialist powers invaded China one after another. Due to the corruption and weakness of the Qing government, they all ended with cede land and paying compensation. The victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan washed away the national shame for a hundred years. After bloody battles, the Chinese people finally completely defeated Japan, the second most fascist power in the world. This is the victory of the Chinese nation, and this is an important historical turning point for the entire world toward peace.
Secondly, the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan fundamentally changed the world political pattern before the war and greatly improved China's international status. Before the War of Resistance Against Japan, China had no status in the world. In the victory of China's War of Resistance Against Japan and the World Anti-Fascist War, China's international status was greatly improved and became one of the four major powers in the world's anti-fascist camp. However, although China is like this now, it is actually not qualified to be on par with the British and American powers.
The victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan once again allowed China to break free from most of the shackles bound by itself and abolished a series of unequal treaties that the imperial powers forced China to sign. It took nearly a hundred years for China to go from cowardice to rise. However, the development of anything cannot be forced. The rise of the Chinese requires a process. Fortunately, China succeeded, and it successfully stood in the world and became a real dragon in the East.
Wang Mingyu, the general command center of the Southwest 18th Army, was dressed in military uniform and looked into the distance. Following a few brothers, the War of Resistance Against Japan was won and the Japanese army returned to the country. As for the subsequent war reparations or what they did, they had nothing to do with him. Wang Mingyu now thought that he should end all this. It has been ten years since this era. Ten years have also allowed Wang Mingyu to grow into a star in the entire Chinese military.
However, these are not what Wang Mingyu wants. Wang Mingyu has already obtained what he wants, that is, the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, and it is a victory ahead of schedule. War is not taken for granted. Just as a person can unify the whole world with a few people. Wang Mingyu never thought so at the beginning, and was able to support it until now without dying. In fact, Wang Mingyu was lucky enough to occupy a lot.
In the early stage, he went deep into the enemy's internal orders to execute orders. At that time, if you are not careful, you may be doomed. So they almost succeeded. Wang Mingyu knew that this was thankful that people in this era did not have the awareness of special operations. Of course, Wang Mingyu knew that his success was inseparable from the experiences of later generations. The most important thing was that penicillin gave him a qualitative leap.
What special operations, elite soldiers and generals, can we get the money from the Ministry of Military Affairs? Wang Mingyu smiled, obviously it is impossible. The battle is just about money and food. Without strong economic strength, how could he suppress the Japanese army in the future? How could the war end two years ahead of schedule? In fact, after the trip to Myanmar, the entire tone has basically been set. That is, China will win.
It is better to pursue the enemy with courage. Wang Mingyu naturally understood this principle and did a good job. He drove away the Japanese army and restored the Chinese order. These were all dreams of the people of the country. However, Wang Mingyu knew that there must be a war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. The CCP once gave in, but Chairman Chiang would not give in, which led to the war being destined from the beginning.
"Master, why are you still at a loss? The Japanese have been driven away? We will be free and easy in the future!" Zhang Deen said with a carefree smile.
"Yes, Chief, this fucking finally relieved! These little Japanese devils have harmed us for so many years. If you want me to tell me, we should kill Tokyo, otherwise we will not relieve the hatred in our hearts!" Luo Jiapeng also said angrily and angrily.
Wang Mingyu smiled and said, "I'm not helpless. Our mission has been completed. We should also take off our armor and return to the field!"
"Remove the armor and return to the field? Well, it's time!" Wu Peilin, who was standing beside him, was stunned at first, then nodded. In fact, everyone knew what Wang Mingyu said to them before, but everyone was a soldier, so they naturally couldn't bear to leave some things. After all, after fighting for so many years, it was really difficult to suddenly change a life.
This problem is not a problem of a few of them, but a problem of the entire 18th Army. At present, the military power issue of the 18th Army has always been a big problem. Even if Wang Mingyu leaves, what should the troops do? Wang Mingyu thought about this problem for a long time, but he didn't know how to deal with his weapons. Now Wang Mingyu can only sell these things to Aung San, Myanmar, in exchange for some things.
These issues need to be considered. Wang Mingyu said to everyone: "The victory of the Anti-Japanese War is not the end, but the starting point of China. The Kuomintang and the Communist Party must decide the winner, but I have said that the Chinese are the most meaningless to beat the Chinese. No matter what others do, my 18th Group soldiers will never participate. I have decided to sell all the weapons and equipment of our army to the Myanmar government army in Angshang."
"Master, we have a lot of equipment!" Zhang Deen said with a painful face.
"Old Zhang, our mission has been completed. At that time, I will take my brothers abroad to see it. It is not unreasonable for me to sell these things to Myanmar. Myanmar is the gateway to the southwestern border of our country. At least it is still one of our important protection sites. If they are strong, we will be less concerned. If we give these things to Chairman Jiang or the CCP, then these things must be our own people and I will definitely beat our own people. I will never want to see our weapons to fight the Japanese and finally hit our own people!" Wang Mingyu sighed and said.
Everyone was silent, and Wang Mingyu continued: "Not only that, I decided to disband the 18th Army from today! My brothers under my command will do whatever they want. As long as they don't do evil and don't lose the reputation of the 18th Army, I, Wang Mingyu, support me. From the moment they broke off their relationship with the 18th Army, whether they join the national army or join the CCP, it has nothing to do with us. The next choice is their own choice."
"Since we have disbanded the 18th Army and since we have withdrawn, we have no reason to interfere with other people's choices. Everyone has their own beliefs. If they listen to me, Wang Mingyu, then they will give me Wang Mingyu face. If they choose their own choices, then it is also the path they have to take. But I don't want to participate in the struggle between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party!"
"Master, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party have been working together now. How do you know that they will not cooperate in the future? We want to retreat now, and I am afraid they will not agree! Then..."
Wang Mingyu said coldly: "We are worthy of Chairman Jiang if we don't help each other! As for Yan'an, I will naturally contact them later to explain my position. Serve the country is not just a way of war! As for why the Kuomintang and the Communist Party cannot coexist, it is because of different beliefs. Two people without the same beliefs cannot get together. The old saying goes, "Does the same way and do not plan for each other'! That's the truth!"
Wang Mingyu is no longer Wang Mingyu who has just arrived in this era. With his experience in later generations and his own growth, he now has the temperament of being the only one. At this time, there is a sense of domineeringness in his speech, which makes people have to believe what he said. Moreover, if these people were not allowed to Wang Mingyu, they knew that they might be a passerby in the long river of history!
In September 194, Wang Mingyu was ordered to go to Chongqing to report his duties. It is said that Chairman Jiang wanted to give Wang Mingyu a first-class general this time, but Wang Mingyu, who had already made plans in his heart, did not express any statement. He knew that if he refused this time, it would inevitably arouse Chairman Jiang's suspicion. If there were any Japanese people who had some concerns before, Chairman Jiang is the real master of China. This time, Chairman Jiang actually seriously felt the unstable factors on Wang Mingyu's side.
In fact, Chairman Jiang now has no idea of any will-powered army. Everyone knows that if he can get the 18th Army, he can almost be said to have obtained a million soldiers. However, what surprised Chairman Jiang was that after Wang Mingyu came to Chongqing, he did not attend the award ceremony, but asked someone to tell him that he had resigned from all his positions.
Chairman Jiang was not only wondering what was going on? Could it be to eliminate his doubts? Generally, this approach of retreating to advance is one of the common methods used by people in all dynasties, and Chairman Jiang is naturally extremely confused now.
However, Wang Mingyu's approach was even more decisive. On the afternoon of the day when he arrived in Chongqing, Wang Mingyu held a press conference. At the press conference, Wang Mingyu explained his position. That is, the foreign enemy has been eliminated and he has no intention to continue in the military. Then he immediately announced his resignation as commander-in-chief of the 18th Army.
Just when Wang Mingyu announced the news, the National Government was busy, which was a major news. And now the most critical question is, who is the leader of the 18th Army? Not only did Chairman Jiang worry about all this, but even the CCP sent the news back to Yan'an as soon as possible after receiving the news. Although the comrades from the underground party here do not know Wang Mingyu's belief, they think this is definitely a big good news. The 18th Army is in chaos, so isn't it good news for the organization?
But these intelligence personnel did not expect that this was definitely not a situation that the Chairman and others would like to see! Although the Chairman and others knew that Wang Mingyu did not want to participate in the civil war, they did not expect that he would be so resolute. After the Japanese surrendered, they immediately made their own judgment. The Chairman was also a little regretful. If he could communicate with Wang Mingyu frequently, then Wang Mingyu might be one of his surprise soldiers.
Just as the Chairman was thinking, the intelligence department had already delivered Wang Mingyu's intelligence to the Chairman. The Chairman looked at the information sent by Wang Mingyu carefully and gradually smiled on his face. In the intelligence, Wang Mingyu pointed out more than once that he did not want to participate in the struggle between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and firmly believed that the organization would succeed in the end. Although he could not give too much help to the organization in the war, after the founding of New China, he would inevitably give New China a big gift.
Wang Mingyu then mentioned that the 18th Army had been disbanded on the spot by himself, and all the weapons and equipment had been resold to the Myanmar Duli Army, forming a reliable allies for the organization and laying the groundwork for the stability of the southwest region. The Chairman agreed with this point. Now they are no longer so short of equipment. Although there are a lot of equipment in this batch, Wang Mingyu's method of handling it is undoubtedly the best. And Wang Mingyu's contribution to the organization is something that no one can erase.
The Chairman's idea was a bit reversed. He believed that if Wang Mingyu did not support the organization, he would definitely become Chairman Jiang's murder weapon. At that time, I don't know how many creatures will die under their guns. And the benefits the CCP has gained from Wang Mingyu are unimaginable. At this moment, the Chairman is also ambitious! The momentum of asking who is the ups and downs of the vast earth arises.
The Chairman agreed to all Wang Mingyu's requests. Wang Mingyu said that he would go to the United States to live for a while, but he would cultivate talents, gather funds, and contribute his own strength to the development of the New China. The Chairman deeply knew that in fact, compared to letting Wang Mingyu participate in the war, what he did was what he needed most in the future. If China wants to catch up with or even surpass those European and American powers, it must lay the foundation for the future now.
The Chairman's telegram was quickly sent to Wang Mingyu. There were no more words, and the six words were enough to express the Chairman's idea. "Agree, support, take care!" This is the Chairman's reply to Wang Mingyu.
The National Government is still arguing about the ownership of the 18th Army. Many people want to take over the 18th Army, but before they could discuss the reason, another news broke their fantasy. According to the information received by the Military Affairs Bureau, the 18th Army had been disbanded on the spot, and the personnel began to move around the country from all directions. The roster has been completely destroyed by the headquarters of the 18th Army.
The 18th Army seemed to have disappeared. The pedestrians on the road were likely to be the soldiers of the 18th Army, some even generals. But at this moment, they were like wanderers returning home, rushing towards their homes like wanderers.
Chairman Jiang was disappointed when he heard this news, and was also very glad. The dissolution of the 18th Army can be said to have eliminated his heart. It seemed that the 18th Army appeared for the sake of the war of resistance.
The 18 Group and the Kuomintang and the Communist Party chose to keep silent. What about Wang Mingyu at this time? He took a large group of men to the United States by boat. These include Li Xianyu and others who had just returned to the team.
Wang Mingyu and his group were about 70 or 80 people, many of them were not worried about them. Moreover, those who were loyal to Wang Mingyu needed a green card to go to the United States, and although Wang Mingyu prepared a lot, he did not have so many. He had to send a telegram to Wang Jie, asking him to do more through relationships.
On the freighter, Wang Mingyu and others stood at the bow of the ship and saluted deeply in the direction of China! They were reluctant to let go for a long time, and their eyes were filled with reluctance...
