"Yes, I support Commander Xiong." Another division commander expressed his position, "In recent years, we have helped the Japanese do a lot of immoral things, and they have really harmed many people in the country. Now we have this opportunity to atone for our sins, but we can't

If we miss it again, even if the new government wants to settle accounts in the future, we still want peace of mind, right? No matter what, we are still Chinese, right?"

The remaining division commanders, brigade commanders and regiment commanders also strengthened their determination and expressed their intention to rebel tomorrow.

The next morning, when two artillerymen from Yiye were about to carry out a routine bombardment, fierce gunfire rang out in Jiujiang City. They raised a hot air balloon and observed that it was actually the Japanese and puppet troops in the city who started fighting first. At noon

At that time, the gunfire in the city gradually fell silent, and soon the puppet troops in the city sent liaison officers, saying they wanted to surrender prisoners.

In this way, the Chinese army captured Jiujiang City before even launching a general offensive.

Before the news of Jiujiang's recovery was published, it spread in Jiangxi and Anhui provinces first. This earth-shattering incident had a serious impact on the Japanese and puppet forces in the two provinces. After realizing that the Japanese and puppet governments were gone, all counties

The township's maintenance committee immediately responded and swore allegiance to the local CCP underground party organization.

Even the bandits who usually hide in the deep mountains and old forests came out one after another and took the opportunity to rob the Japanese transport team.

This is what the world often calls a sedan chair that is carried by everyone, but for the Japanese army, it means that everyone pushes down the wall.

In less than half a month, most of the counties and towns in Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Anhui, Hubei, Hunan and other provinces broke away from the Japanese and puppet rule and announced that they would join the new CCP government. Central China was actually controlled by the Japanese army.

The sphere of influence quickly shrank to a few large cities such as Shanghai, Nanjing, Wuhan, Nanchang, Hangzhou, and Guangzhou.

China, which had been trampled under the iron heel of the Japanese army for five full years, finally ushered in its first counterattack climax.

The Japanese rule over North China, Central China, South China and East China was already in turmoil.

Such a situation, not to mention Yue Weihan, Mr. Xu and others did not expect that even Chairman Mao who was far away in Yan'an did not expect that the situation in Central China would take such a dramatic turn. At this time, the Japanese government and the Russian government had a dispute over the sovereignty of the Far East.

The negotiations have just begun, and there is still a long way to go before the Japanese troops withdraw from the Far East.

In Huaihua, Hunan, the Sime Airborne Division also successfully intercepted the main force of the Japanese army on the southern route.

After ten days of hard fighting, the 10 mechanized infantry divisions of the 4th, 5th, and 6th Group armies of Siye, plus the 1st Armored Division, and the 2nd Heavy Artillery Division also arrived one after another. The 3rd Group Army of Sanye (Long Yun and Du Yuming's troops) also quickly

They penetrated from the flanks and formed an encirclement situation on the main force of the Japanese army on the south road.

Naosaburo Okabe, who had just been promoted to general and commander of the Central China Front, realized that the collective destruction of the 3rd Army was inevitable. More than 300,000 Chinese troops had completed the encirclement of the Japanese army. The Japanese army was not only at a disadvantage in terms of strength, but also in terms of strength.

Weapons, equipment and logistical support are at an absolute disadvantage.

The Chinese army not only has a large number of tanks and heavy artillery, but also has an air force to assist it.

The Japanese aviation force has basically lost the ability to fight deep into the southwest. Since supplies cannot keep up, the Japanese artillery and tanks have basically become decorations. Naosaburo Okabe even has to worry about the rations of his 100,000 Japanese troops, because

China's southwest was originally a barren land, and coupled with drought, food has become extremely scarce.

The only thing that gave General Naosaburo Okabe some comfort was that the Japanese army on the northern route, commanded by Lieutenant General Yoshio Shinozuka, broke through the four blockades of the Chinese army within half a month and successfully got rid of the Chinese who were chasing them.
