Chiang Kai-shek shamelessly reached out to his godfather again. So did the Americans give it? He gave it part of it, but it did not fully meet Chiang Kai-shek's needs. For example, the 500 fighter jets really only fulfilled a small part, and they gave it p-39 and p-40 that the Americans didn't use. Why was it so conservative? Because Chiang Kai-shek gave Roosevelt a bad impression. If it weren't for the raiding army in western Yunnan that was really dispatched, Roosevelt really didn't want to give anything.

In addition to giving fighter jets, the US also gave the Scrapers some guns, ammunition, tanks and artillery. However, like fighter jets, they are not the most advanced models. For example, the guns and ammunition are mainly seized 98k and the Brun light machine gun produced in Canada. Most of the tanks are M3 light tanks. In addition, there is a medium-sized m3 Grant tank eliminated by the US military, and a small part of the m4, but the earliest models are mainly used. Anyway, these can only be considered foreign descent in the United States. As for the artillery, most of the eliminated US versions of Miss 75 and M2105, and most of them are not given artillery above 155 mm.

More importantly, Roosevelt gave arms, but he asked Chiang Kai-shek to make a promise, that is, this batch of arms supported by the United States should not be used for civil war, but could only be used to fight the Japanese. It can be seen how distrust Roosevelt had towards Chiang Kai-shek. Of course, Chiang Kai-shek was indeed untrustworthy, because this man did not take his promise to Roosevelt seriously, and he was full of thinking about the arms first.

However, Roosevelt and Stilwell also defended Chiang Kai-shek. These arms were temporarily handed over to the expeditionary forces stationed in India, and not sent to China. If Chiang Kai-shek wants these arms, then quickly open up the Sino-India transportation line. Once the transportation line is opened, these equipment are yours!

Obviously this is the fishing tactic. Perhaps Roosevelt felt that Chairman Chiang would never do his best to fight the Japanese. In order to make them more powerful, he had to put more bait!

You can say nothing, Lao Chiang was even biting the hook, which was much more active than the unwilling battle in western Yunnan in history. Faced with Songshan, which the Japanese defended, he ordered He Shaozhou's Eighth Army to fight. With Chiang's investment at all costs, the attack on Songshan was like a strong wind and wave after wave, which was really tragic.

Huang Zhizhong, a military lieutenant of the New 39th Division of the Lameng Field Hospital of the Shajun, recalled: "Five large-scale attacks were launched on the Japanese invaders' positions in a row, with heavy casualties... About 850 Japanese soldiers were killed and 9 were captured, while our army suffered more than 6,000 casualties... There were too many corpses and the weather was too hot, so we could only dig three large pits to bury them. These three large pits could hold 1,000 people, 800 and 500 people, all filled with full..."

Hong Shaokun, who was over 80 years old, arrived at the Songshan battlefield after the war. At that time, he was a training instructor. Many years later, he still sighed when recalling the tragic and cruelty of Songshan: "As soon as the battle ended, we arrived in Songshan. Before the car reached Lameng, the stench came to the nose, and it became more and more intense, making people feel uncomfortable in their chests, as if they could solidify the air. We suddenly became nervous. What we saw in Songshan was the first corpse, the second corpse, and the third corpse. The scene was too tragic. We were crying all the way..."

"Songshan is composed of many hills, which are quite large. All Japanese positions and trees are blown up by shells or uprooted... Every section of the tunnel and every bunker are occupied after fighting. In addition to the smell of corpses, there is also the strong smell of gunpowder... We walked along the attack route of the troops, and there were corpses and heads that were still in dying postures and blown away everywhere. Other hands, feet, and thighs are also everywhere, which is truly shocking!"

"We live in tents, and every day we hear bulldozers burying the bodies. They use bulldozers to push the bodies into the dug holes and then bulldozers to bury them. Sometimes they moan or squirm in the pile of corpses, and people stop, find or pull them out to continue working. They don't count the number of people, identify the bodies and register the badges, and sometimes even bury the deceased's carry-on weapons together."

"I really couldn't stand it anymore, so I covered my nose and ran over and told them not to do this. But they ignored me at all. The officer next to me pulled me away, saying that some people had been dead for more than a month, and if a plague occurred, it would be even more terrible..."

The Scrapers are really worthless. Perhaps the worst thing is to continue to strengthen the men. After the Songshan Battle, the only thing that may be happy is that Jiang Jiang, the arms he wants can finally be obtained.

However, this is not the point. The key point is that while the Battle of Western Yunnan was underway, Chiang Kai-shek also ordered Tang Paopao to counterattack and go to Henan to recover lost territory. In Chiang Kai-shek's view, since Okamura's main force of the North China Front Army had been attracted by the Eighth Route Army, it was easy to recover lost territory.

Of course, what Lao Jiang was considering was not just regaining lost territory at that time. He believed that no matter who won and who lost in Handan in the end (Zheng Chiang believed that the Japanese were more likely to win), he would be able to get a bargain in Henan next. If the entire territory of Henan could be recovered, there would be many closer to Hebei and Jiangsu in the future. Once the Japanese were defeated, his troops could receive the fruits of victory faster.

Lao Jiang also considered the worst possibility. If the Japanese defeated the Communist Party and turned around to cause trouble for him, he would continue to let Tang Paopu make meritorious service. With Tang Paopu's action, the Japanese would probably not be able to catch up with him.

However, the only possibility that Lao Jiang had not considered was that the t-coming party defeated the Japanese. In Lao Jiang's opinion, this was probably a fantasy. However, in August 1944, this fantasy became more and more trending to become a reality.

On August 5, Okamura Yasuji launched the last wave of fierce attacks. Several of his divisions lined up and rushed fiercely, but they couldn't do anything to the 115th Division. Under the strict defense of the commanders and fighters of the 115th Division, the last little bit of their aura was exhausted. At this time, the 129th Division had completed rest and was quietly heading south. More than 129th Division was in action. The 120th Division led by He Shuai also successfully captured Shijiazhuang, annihilated more than 20,000 Japanese soldiers. After cleaning the battlefield, they immediately moved south to prepare to reinforce the 115th Division and the 129th Division.

Not only the Eighth Route Army opened up the situation, but in Shandong, the New Fourth Army was also fighting vigorously under the leadership of Shuai Chen and General Su. Through continuous movement, it finally found the fighter jet and decisively launched an attack to annihilate the two Japanese regiments in one breath.

The two regiments seem to be insignificant? But this really cannot be underestimated, because the equipment of the New Fourth Army is slightly worse than that of the Eighth Route Army, and its strength is also less. It is really not easy to deal with more than 20,000 Japanese devils and even get the teeth pulled out of their teeth to eat the two regiments!

Through this battle, General Su has truly made himself famous. To be honest, General Su was not very dazzling among the generals of the Communist Party of China. He could not compare with the Huangpu high-ranking talents like Lin Shuai and General Chen. In this battle, General Su initially developed his own style. What style do you ask? One word can describe danger!

Perhaps in later propaganda, General Su gave people the feeling of a general who was always victorious, and seemed to have no enemy that could not be settled, but in fact it was not the case. Since General Su joined the army, the enemy has been strong and weak for a long time. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the New Fourth Army was much weaker than the Eighth Route Army and the environment it faced was more complicated. General Su almost went through all the way.

By the time of the Liberation War, all the elites of the Communist Party were sent to the Northeast by Taizu, and they could only adopt a strategic defensive within the pass. General Su's troops were active in the area with the most powerful enemy for a long time, and they were always facing encirclement and suppression. I really couldn't say how comfortable that day was.

This special environment has created General Su's special combat concept and style, which is to take risks. Lin Shuai may have a 70-8-point confidence to fight, and General Su dares to take action if he is three or four points, because if he doesn't take action, he may miss the opportunity. After all, the enemy is strong and I am weak. If you don't seize every opportunity, you will not be able to survive. You can consider it from another perspective. If Lin Shuai is in General Su's situation, he may be worried to death, so he said that General Su was fighting a battle of immortals.

Of course, it is not entirely a good thing to like to take risks. Soldiers are like gambling, either a big victory or a big defeat. During the War of Liberation, General Su once could not stay in Shandong and could only go to eastern Henan to move. One reason was that the enemy was indeed very powerful, and the other reason was that his fighter jets were a bit rough.

Of course, General Su was successful this time. He almost grabbed the gap between the Japanese army and got in. He pulled his teeth and ate the two Japanese corps. However, when he looked back after the war, it was still scary.

The story of General Su has come to this for the time being, and continues to talk about the raiding army. On the one hand, Chiang Kai-shek ordered Tang Paopu to recover the lost territory, while on the other hand, he also continued to deal with T during the negotiations. This is what I have to say about the British guy who likes to be a messenger mentioned earlier.

The British helped Chiang Kai-shek delay time while negotiations. They threw out a proposal today and another suggestion tomorrow. In short, it was constantly creating problems. Of course, this only delays time, and for the British, this cannot solve the fundamental problem.

In Li Erwen's opinion, the only way to solve the fundamental problem is to remove the firewood from the pot. How to remove the firewood from the pot? Li Erwen suggested to do the work of Chiang Kai-shek. If Chiang Kai-shek could stand on the side of the UK, it would just stop the Americans and Russians from using the excuse of respecting China's sovereignty. Didn't you say respecting China's sovereignty? Now the government representing China has recognized the vested interests of Britain. You, the United States and Russia, cannot slap yourself, right?

So under Churchill's order, Britain changed its previous indifference to the Democratic Party, and was really concerned about its well-being! It was also giving loans and military aid, and it also deliberately praised Chiang Kai-shek in international public opinion, saying that he was worthy of being the anti-Japanese leader of China and a great leader. Anyway, he had a high hat and no money, so he was a hard greeting.

For a time, Chiang Kai-shek was not so happy, but he was in a good mood, and he was not so concerned about the Chongqing negotiations. The reason was very simple. Since everything Britain and the United States should give him was fulfilled, why bother with a group of people? Waiting for the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan seriously, it is best to suppress bandits with the authoritative power of the central government and leaders!

Therefore, in the negotiations, the Democratic Party changed its previous "concession" and began to become aggressive. It kept saying that it wanted to accept the leadership of the central government and obey the arrangements of the central government. As for the rest, it made no promises.

"The British are trying to die again," Li Xiaofeng said calmly after receiving Yakov's report: "It seems that we must hit these idiots!"

Before, Li Xiaofeng remained calm and chose to watch, and the most fundamental reason was the American factor. Although the Soviet Union and the United States basically "reached an agreement" on the issue of China, the relationship between the Americans and the British was still quite close, and Roosevelt could not completely abandon Churchill and ignore the unilateral policy. So in the face of the British's small actions, Li Xiaofeng chose to let the Americans solve it. This is a mess between your cousins, so you can discuss it yourself.

But what's interesting is that the Americans chose to pretend to be deaf and dumb, ignoring the British to make trouble, which made things happen. If Li Xiaofeng does not express his opinion at this time, he will be regarded as easy to bully by the Americans and the British. The conscience of heaven and earth, Li Xiaofeng is not the one who is easy to bully.

"Greet the Americans," Li Xiaofeng ordered coldly, "If they don't take it seriously, then give the British some color!"

Yakov immediately took the order and left, and soon Roosevelt received a message from a certain immortal. Obviously someone meant that if you Americans continued to remain silent, don't blame me for beating the British.

Roosevelt was still silent in this regard, but he just didn't express his opinion. Why? There are two reasons. The first is that he is indeed inconvenient to attack the British. After all, the cooperation between the two countries is extremely close and has similar interests in Western Europe. From the long-term perspective of the war, it is not suitable to have a quarrel with the British.

Of course, this reason is not the most important. The more important reason is the second reason. Roosevelt wanted to see where the bottom line of the Soviet Union's strength was. Without the help of the United States, could he eat and live in the United Kingdom tightly? If so, then there would be no problem with the previous division of interests, and on the contrary, it would need to be adjusted. To put it bluntly, Roosevelt regarded the British as a test stone and was preparing to check the quality of the Soviet Union.

So how did Li Xiaofeng deal with it? To be honest, he really didn't have any good ways to hit the British. After some thought, he chose Iran as his target. Since 1941, Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union have entered Iran one after another, and this country has been in the competition for the political forces of major powers.

As the last king of the Pahlavi dynasty (the dynasty has only two generations), Muhammad Reza Pahlavi's rule is really not solid. Because it was not natural for this king to come to power, but his father Reza. Khan was targeted by Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union at the same time because he was eyeing the Nazis, forcing the old king to step down and expel him from Iran.

When Pahlavi first came to power, he was not much stronger than a puppet. Under the pressure of Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union, this guy was just a cover. Although Iran seemed awesome after the victory of World War II, he drove the Soviet army out of Iran's borders and counterattacked Azerbaijan, but in fact everyone knows that it is not how awesome Pahlavi is, but that Britain and the United States are standing behind him. Without their support, he is just an egg.

In fact, we can also see in the later history that this Pahlavi is really not a political strongman. After Mosatai became the Prime Minister of Iran in 1951, Pahlavi was actually a human-shaped stamp and simply came under house arrest. It was not until Mosatai became increasingly dissatisfied with Britain and the United States, and the CIA launched a coup to overthrow Mosatai, and the king was released.

However, this was no essential difference for Pahlavi. He just changed from a puppet of Mosatai to an American puppet. Under his rule, Iran's social problems became more and more complicated, the rich and poor were polarized, and the opposition became more and more intense. Then in the late 1970s, Khomeini shouted and the king fell and had to go into exile.

It can be said that the ending of the Pahlavi dynasty was actually destined from the founding of this dynasty. Reza Khan took the path of coup to power, and it was reasonable to die in the second lifetime and be overthrown by the coup.

Of course, this is not about discussing the orthodox issue of the Pahlavi dynasty, but about the Soviet Union causing trouble for Britain in Iran. Before Reza Khan came to power, Iran was 100% of the British sphere of influence, and in fact, like China, it became a tragic situation of semi-feudal and semi-colonial. That is, the outbreak of World War II and the decline of the British Empire, which gave the United States and the Soviet Union the opportunity to intervene.

However, the British were a little too greedy. Most of Iran's oil returns have entered the pockets of the British Empire, which is an extremely fatal problem. If the British insist on this and do not let go, then this problem will break out sooner or later. Even Mosatai, which was very close to the British, finally turned against the UK when it came to this issue. It can be seen that although the UK has a great influence in Iran, it is not stable and seems to be crumbling!

Li Xiaofeng is best at making trouble on such a crumbling and broken house. Soon, following his instructions, kgb began to contact Mosatai, who had just been re-elected as a member of parliament.

"Is it useful to contact Mossatai?" Yakov expressed his disagreement.

Indeed, the guy Mosatai still held a pro-British and American position at this time, and it seemed unrealistic to expect him to cause trouble for the British. However, Li Xiaofeng said: "Mosatai is still a bit capable of causing trouble. Tell him that the Soviet government is willing to withdraw its troops from Iran and support Iran's efforts to regain its oil rights."

Yakov still doesn't believe that this is useful, but Li Xiaofeng doesn't intend to explain more. Mosatai is a small piece, and he can't completely turn to the Soviet Union, but it's still very easy to cause trouble for the British through him. As long as he encourages his "ambition" and gives him the courage to bargain with Britain, it's enough to give the British a pot of food. What's more, the Soviet Union has more than one piece available in Iran... (To be continued.)
