There is no way, who said that the National Defense Force's record is too great?! Starting from the First Army era, the National Defense Force has never lost in two contests with Japan. The same goes for the Soviet Union. Although the Soviet Union does not admit that they sent troops to Outer Mongolia, everyone knows that if not

The Soviet Union supported the so-called "Mongolian People's Party", so how dare they have the courage to lead their troops to invade?!

As for the panic caused by the National Defense Forces, although the Japanese generals did not say anything about it, they always had a knot in their hearts! This was also the indirect reason why no division was willing to take over the defense of North Korea.

In fact, at a certain level, the Ninth and Tenth Divisions have actually achieved a certain understanding. The destruction of the entire Kwantung Army is not a joke, but a real thing! The tens of thousands of troops were wiped out in just a few battles.

Therefore, the rest of the divisions stationed in Japan are extremely sympathetic to the 9th and 10th Divisions. However, sympathy is sympathy, and no one will be willing to gamble with the fate of their own divisions against the National Defense Forces.

Under what appeared to be tranquility but was actually an undercurrent, various units of the National Defense Force mobilized by Tu Sanpao had begun intensive operations! The cavalry units assembled and set off, and the heavy artillery of each unit was transported to the front line of the former Fourth Army. The navy began to deploy live ammunition to the front line.

marched to the Yalu River. The Air Force made an emergency transfer to the airport that had been secretly built in Dandong...

Everything was in order, but under all this, someone in Manchuria was worried. This person was not Yan Zhengqing, because after learning about the speech at the Tu San Pao meeting, the old guy sighed and said nothing.

Yang Yuting and others also knew that they could not persuade Tu Sanpao, so they simply said nothing and went about their own duties. The one who was worried this time was Eisenhower, a foreign professor at the National Defense University.

When he got Tu Sanpao's invitation, he was very tempted, but things were not that simple. What the National Defense Force had to do was to launch a sudden attack, so the secretary told Eisenhower that this matter could not be exposed for the time being.

In other words, Eisenhower could not ask for permission from the United States in advance. He could only either refuse or agree. In order to avoid the leakage of the news, there are now several unknown people standing guard outside Eisenhower's dormitory.

Eisenhower knew that he could either agree to participate in the war and leave the dormitory. Or he could refuse to participate in the war, and the Wehrmacht would naturally cancel surveillance after the war started. But this was where Eisenhower was undecided. If he participated in the war, he was extremely worried that he would suffer because of this.

Congressional censure.

After all, isolationism prevails in the United States. It is absolutely unacceptable for an officer to directly participate in a foreign war without consulting the country! And it is also suppressed.

On the other hand, Eisenhower was eager to have a real battle to prove his worth. Many of their colleagues and classmates had participated in World War I and thus rose to prominence. But he was the only one who was sent to stay at home during World War I.

This has always been one of his regrets, so a war is what he is eagerly looking forward to. He can understand Tu Sanpao's surveillance. After all, war requires suddenness. So it is natural to avoid the leakage of information, and the National Defense Force did not put him under house arrest.

It’s already very respectable.

Just when Eisenhower was hesitating, there was a knock on the door: "Boom! Boom! Boom...". Eisenhower couldn't help but be startled, and then walked over and opened the door. After the door was opened, he was even more surprised!

He knew the person standing outside the door. He was the Taoist priest of the Taoist temple where he had accompanied Roosevelt and Tu Qianjun! Eisenhower's Chinese was not very good at that time, so he didn't say much to the old man.

Later, when Eisenhower's Chinese became better, he also learned that the old man named Ge Yuetan had incredible abilities in the legend. So he tried to visit the Taoist priest.

But the most surprising thing happened to him. When he arrived at Doumu Palace, he was told by the Taoist boy who was already waiting at the door: The master asked him to wait for him here. He told him that the fate had not come yet. He could not meet for the time being. In the future.

Will go visit him.

Anyone would find this unbelievable! Eisenhower also had a deep respect for the silent old man. Like Roosevelt, he shouted in his heart: The magical East!

"Oh, respected Master Ge Xian! Why are you here..." Eisenhower said to the old man outside the door, somewhat at a loss. Now his Chinese has made great progress after being honed by lectures. At least.

Daily conversations and simple pleasantries are not a problem.

"I thought you were confused, so I came..." Ge Yuetan smiled and whispered to Eisenhower: "Remember what I asked my apprentice to say to you when you came to visit me last time?! Now!

, our fate has arrived..."

Eisenhower hurriedly invited the old man into his dormitory. This dormitory was arranged for him by the National Defense Forces. It is considered to be a rare high-end residential area in Fengtian.

This residence is a teacher's dormitory specially built by Tu Qianjun after he established the National Defense University. On the hillside next to the newly opened National Defense University, a series of mid-mountain villa-type dormitories were built.

The scenery here is beautiful and the architecture is unique, so Eisenhower was very satisfied!

After welcoming the old man in, Eisenhower asked the old man to sit down on a chair. Then he went to make tea for the old man himself. Ge Yuetan smiled and watched Eisenhower busy but said nothing.

When Eisenhower brought the brewed tea, Ge Yuetan smiled and said: "You are full of confusion now, aren't you? At the same time, you are also full of hesitation. This choice is difficult for you. Because once

The choice will most likely lead to a bleak future."

Eisenhower was stunned when he heard this, and then silently put the tea cup in his hand in front of the old man. He sat down and said to the old man sincerely in his unskilled Chinese: "Please give me some advice..."

Ge Yuetan looked at Eisenhower with a smile, but did not speak immediately. Instead, he asked the Taoist boy behind him to hand over a book. He slowly put the book on the table and pushed it in front of Eisenhower.

"This book is called "Nanhua Sutra", which is a Taoist work. It is said to have been written by the real person Nanhua." Ge Yuetan said softly to Eisenhower: "These classics have been passed down to the present for more than two thousand years.

So if it can be passed down, it means that it has value. If something without value has long been forgotten."

As he spoke, Ge Yuetan took a sip of tea and clicked on the "Nanhua Sutra" and whispered to Eisenhower: "There is a story recorded in the "Nanhua Sutra" about a very famous bandit. His subordinates asked him

Are there any rules and principles for being a robber?!"

Eisenhower was initially a little baffled that Ge Yuetan gave him a book. But the story Ge Yuetan told aroused his curiosity. Is there any rules for being a bandit?!

"The bandit leader answered his subordinates, of course there are rules and reasons!" Ge Yuetan looked at Eisenhower and said softly: "Before taking action, judge the situation to decide whether it is appropriate to take action. This is wisdom; being able to guess

The property is there, sage; to be the first to take action is bravery; to be the last to leave when the matter is over is loyalty; to distribute the looted property equally is kindness."

Eisenhower initially listened to it as a story, but as Ge Yuetan spoke, he gradually fell into deep thought. At this time, Ge Yuetan whispered to Eisenhower: "Finally, the bandit leader concluded: If you don't have these five

You can’t become a great thief if you have bad qualities.”

Eisenhower seemed to understand something and looked at Ge Yuetan. This seemingly old but energetic old man whispered to Eisenhower: "The army was established to fight. So for soldiers or officers, what is the most important thing?

What’s important?! It’s actual combat experience…”

Eisenhower understood what the old man was trying to tell him. As a soldier, there is definitely a difference between having experienced war and not having experienced war. War is a test and temper for soldiers!

Participating in combat naturally involves risks. But if you don't dare to take this risk as a soldier, what else can you do? After World War I, many of Eisenhower's classmates and former colleagues were reused because they participated in the war.

He is the only one who has been wandering in the fringe zone because he has never participated in the war.

"Thank you for your advice..." Eisenhower stood up and bowed deeply to Ge Yuetan. It wasn't that he couldn't understand these principles. It was because he only looked forward and backward when he was in the middle of the situation. But Ge Yuetan's words reminded him! Soldiers

The most important point.

Ge Yuetan didn't say much, nodded with a smile, and then left Eisenhower's residence with his apprentice.

A few minutes later, Tu Sanpao, who had entered Dandong and was studying the attack in front of the map, received the telegram! Eisenhower was willing to bring his trainees to participate in the war! After seeing the telegram, Tu Sanpao smiled broadly at his secretary

Said: "Let him organize his armored forces first! Put them all under his control, and then come to Dandong to assemble!"

"Yes!!" the secretary responded loudly, and then hurriedly left the office to send the report.

While Tu Sanpao was silently looking at the map, the entire National Defense Force was already in action! The troops gathered frantically towards the attack point. At this time, the Japanese army on the opposite side finally panicked! After all, the entire National Defense Force's gathering could not be completely hidden.

Live in!

The flying regiment transferred to North Korea continued to patrol their own positions under the strong request of Governor Ugaki Kazunari. Even the originally lifeless 90th and 10th Divisions began emergency preparations for war!

The time has entered the fifth day of Tu San Pao's meeting. With the support of the National Defense Force's strict discipline and complete transportation capabilities, all departments have been assembled and are waiting for an order to start the attack. Only Eisenhower's department, which recently decided to participate in the war, has not yet

Arrive at Dandong.

Seeing this situation, Tu Sanpao thought for a moment and ordered all ministries to continue to stand by! He also asked the Fengtian Arsenal to speed up the production of a batch of blank ammunition for heavy artillery and send it to the front line. This order puzzled the secretary, but he still carried it out.

Jia Xiaohou, who was busy in the arsenal, didn't understand what Tu Sanpao was doing, but orders had to be carried out. So he cursed and took out the thousands of blank bombs in stock and the hundreds of urgently processed blanks.

The package of ammunition was sent over.

In order to increase the number of soldiers and gain experience in adapting to the battlefield, the National Defense Forces continued to manufacture heavy artillery blank ammunition and various types of blank ammunition. Later, due to disaster relief and bandit suppression, the troops were deployed in all directions, but the production of blank ammunition did not stop.

.Therefore, there are still thousands of blank shells in stock.

On the sixth day, those blank ammunition had been delivered. Eisenhower and his trainees arrived in Dandong with nearly 60 Renault FT-17 tanks transported by train.

All these sixty tanks have been modified to a certain extent. The 8mm Hotchkiss M1914 machine gun originally equipped was replaced by the 11th-year-old 37mm infantry flat-fire gun produced by Fengtian Arsenal. This is mainly due to the captured Kwantung Army ft-

KO, that is, the modified ft-17 does this.

Eisenhower watched inexplicably as the soldiers carried boxes of empty shells off the train - he already knew that these were all empty shells, but he didn't know what Tu San Pao was going to do with them.

Is it a drill?! Otherwise, why would he use so many blank ammunition?! But this is wrong. What did he tell me about actual combat during the drill?! Why would he send someone to monitor him?! And it’s the weirdest thing.

The thing is, these are all artillery blanks without a single bullet!

Not to mention that Eisenhower was confused. In fact, the entire National Defense Force was also confused. After learning that all the blank ammunition had been shipped, Tu Sanpao waved his hand and gave an order: Start firing blank ammunition at the predetermined target tomorrow! Except for the artillery

, everyone is on standby!

At the same time, a clear telegram notified the Japanese army, saying that our army was conducting exercises in the Yalu River. It was not an attack! Please don't panic.

At this time, the whole army was confused. Although they did not understand, the order had to be carried out! So, the assembled artillerymen replaced all the live ammunition with blank ammunition in frustration, and then waited for the "exercise".

What is more depressing than the National Defense Force is the Ninth and Tenth Divisions on the opposite side. You told me not to panic?! What a liar! Lieutenant General Ueda Kenkichi, the commander of the Ninth Division and the commander of the Ninth Division, who got the message from the National Defense Forces, and

The division commander of the 10th Division, Hirose Hisuke, and the other two people did not dare to neglect!

He quickly forwarded this message to the Governor of North Korea, Ugaki Kazunari, who then urgently forwarded it to the Japanese Military Department! This caused the Japanese Military Department to become very nervous and urgently ordered Ugaki Kazunari to step up surveillance!

Because the Ninth and Tenth Divisions are now semi-disabled, the Japanese military headquarters gritted its teeth and organized its beloved First Division, the Japanese Army's oldest and most powerful division, to prepare for support at any time.

Korea!

As one of the oldest divisions in the Imperial Japanese Army, the 1st Division has fought in the Sino-Japanese War, the Russo-Japanese War and the Battle of Nomonhan.

The generals who came from the first division are even more shining, including Miyoshi Shigeomi, Okubo Gon, Kawamura Keaki, Prince Fushimi Miya Sadai, Prince Kanin Miya Zaihito, Ichihebei, Shirakawa Yoshinori

And Jinzaburo Masaki...and other famous figures.

It can be seen from this that the Japanese military headquarters definitely attaches great importance to the National Defense Forces by mobilizing this division!

On the seventh day, the Ninth and Tenth Divisions were mobilized and entered the position in full alert! All the artillery was also pushed out. Ueda Kenkichi and Hirose Hisuke were even more anxious in the headquarters! Even those who were originally in Pyongyang

The North Korean Governor Ugaki Kazunari also rushed to the position and observed the situation nervously!

There are a large number of Japanese fighter planes in the sky carrying live ammunition and circling "buzz~buzz~buzz...". However, both the air force and the army have received orders! Unless they receive an order or are attacked, they are not allowed to fight back! Nonsense!

, they don’t want to die! If they have such a small force and fight the National Defense Force, they are really looking for death!

Compared with the nervousness of the Japanese army, the National Defense Forces were a little bored. The artillerymen were gathered early in the morning, had breakfast, sang and shouted slogans! Then they entered the position and stuffed blank shells into the gun barrels. Following Tu Sanpao's order

Come on! Hundreds of heavy artillery pieces are bombarding the Japanese position!

"Boom! Boom! Boom..." The deafening sound of artillery sounded on the edge of the Yalu River! The sound was like thousands of horses galloping! The overwhelming momentum seemed to be about to blow all the Japanese positions opposite to the ground!

Ueda Kenkichi, Hirose Jusuke and North Korean Governor Ugaki Kazunari were so stunned by the earth-shattering sound of artillery that their faces turned pale. Based on the sound of artillery, it is estimated that all the heavy artillery of the entire National Defense Force was there?! This time, it was bombarded, so what?

How much damage has been caused?!

Will this be able to withstand the arrival of reinforcements?! Several people in the headquarters were thinking secretly. After a while, they had to admit pessimistically: It was difficult to estimate!

Under the sound of artillery fire, the Japanese troops on the position broke out in cold sweat! After a while, the Japanese troops who were on full alert were shocked to discover a problem: it seemed that there was no shock from the bombardment as expected on the position! So some people rushed

After exiting the tunnel, I discovered that the bombs fired by the National Defense Force were really empty bombs!

So the Japanese soldiers in the forward positions crawled back to the headquarters to report the news. When Kazunari Ugaki, who was hiding in the tunnel, knew that the National Defense Forces had actually fired blank bombs, his face became extremely exciting!

This is like a sworn enemy of yours taking a mountain ax and coming to you and saying: I want to chop down watermelons! At this time, you are definitely on full alert, with the machete in your hand, calling your brothers! Just when you are preparing to fight him to the death,

He even prepared his last words to die! In the end, this girl actually brought a watermelon and chopped it viciously in front of you! At this time, you must have been messed up on the spot.

As for the planes hovering over the Japanese positions, they also found that their positions were not attacked. It seemed that the National Defense Forces were really practicing! Those colleagues who kept flying were chasing and practicing in their own airspace. They ignored the squatting ones.

A flying team in its own airspace.

Now even the flying team is depressed. The National Defense Force! You guys are playing tricks on me! But they still don't dare to relax, and have to concentrate on staring at the war eagles of the National Defense Force. Of course they don't dare to shoot.

All we can do is hover and monitor from a distance.

As pilots of the Japanese army, they knew that their previous North Korean colleagues had been wiped out by the Northeast Air Force. Only fools would stir up a hornet's nest! This is their home field!

Also depressed was Eisenhower, who didn't understand why Tu Sanpao did what he did.

After the artillery fired intermittently for a day, it finally stopped. The Japanese army also went from being on full alert at the beginning to gradually relaxing. In the end, except for some observation posts, everyone returned to squatting in the tunnel.

Compared with the depression of the Japanese army, the soldiers of the National Defense Force were full of anger! What is this?! Our army gathered here just to play with the Japanese?! Isn’t it?! The cost is too high! So,

From the generals of the National Defense Force to the soldiers below, everyone is holding back their anger!

This anger was simmered until the morning of the next day. At this time, the blank ammunition sent from Fengtian Arsenal was almost gone. But the artillerymen who fired a blank ammunition yesterday looked at the live ammunition in a daze, thinking about going

Take it and give it a good beating. But they can't fire any live ammunition without an order!

Those army soldiers stayed in the trenches with red eyes, full of anger and nowhere to burst out!

There was silence in the headquarters. Except for some reports, no one spoke. Tian Jixiang, the commander-in-chief in front of the enemy, looked gloomy and scary. The usually amiable fat man looked like he was eating people! And Eisenhower felt like he was

Was someone tricking me? I finally made up my mind and came to Zhanyingguo only to hear blank bombs for a day?!

"Report!!" At this time, a staff officer walked up to Tu Sanpao and said to him in a deep voice: "The report came in. The Japanese artillery position has been clearly figured out. These are the coordinates..."

Tu Sanpao seemed not to notice the gloomy faces and angry eyes of these generals. He picked up the telegram, looked at it and said to the staff: "Send it to the artillery commander-in-chief! Tell him. This round

After the bombardment, adjust according to these elements! But don't shoot! Report after the adjustment is completed and wait for orders!"

"Yes!!" the staff officer responded loudly, and then went down to deliver the order!

At this time, everyone was even more confused. They couldn't understand what Tu Sanpao was doing. Tu Sanpao smiled slightly and suddenly shouted to Eisenhower: "Ike!"

"Here!!" Eisenhower, who was thinking about the intention of killing San Pao, stood up suddenly, stood at attention and responded loudly! Then his pupils shrank, and he suddenly raised his arm in a blocking gesture!

Because Tu Sanpao, who told him to stand up, punched him unreasonably with a "huh~"! But Eisenhower, who was making a blocking gesture, did not feel the pain he expected. When he looked around, he saw Tu Sanpao.

Pao smiled at him!

Eisenhower inexplicably lowered his blocking arm, but the moment he lowered his arm! Tu Sanpao's fist suddenly came close to Eisenhower's face with a "whoop!" This time, Eisenhower didn't even have time to make a blocking gesture!

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned when they saw what Tu Sanpao did! Tu Sanpao then retracted his fist and patted Eisenhower on the shoulder, smiling and saying: "Ike, I'm telling you a truth: what you see may not be true.

.”

"After we came over, the Japanese army had planes and built positions, so I knew they were prepared. So I sent a telegram to the Japanese and told them that I wanted to conduct an exercise. I knew they would not believe it!"

Nonsense! No one can believe it! Everyone murmured in their hearts, and Tu Sanpao continued: "And I fired blank bombs for a day, which scared their planes into flying all over the sky, and all the artillery was pushed out, ready to fight me to the death.

!”

When Tu Sanpao said this, everyone understood! Tu Sanpao clearly used one day's worth of blank ammunition to deceive the location of the Japanese aircraft and artillery. How many of them! Moreover, those Japanese troops who were on full alert and had been harassed by artillery for a day

I must be dizzy now! Even if I am still on guard, I will be much more relaxed than before!

"If we fight hard, we will definitely win. But the soldiers will suffer a lot. I deceived their planes and artillery positions with one day's worth of blank ammunition! I think it's worth it!" Tu Sanpao looked at everyone and said solemnly: "Kill them.

By doing this, how much less will our brothers lose?!"

Tu Sanpao's words made everyone suddenly realize! Especially Eisenhower, who looked at Tu Sanpao with admiration in his eyes! Fatty Tian, ​​who had always been extremely wretched, smiled brightly and said to Tu Sanpao: "Commander! You are so good! You are such a great person!"

It’s so high~Gaga…”

The rest of the generals were also happy. This gunman is quite ruthless! He can think of all kinds of destructive tricks! The commander-in-chief is worthy of this man. I accept it! I accept it!

When Tu Sanpao heard what Fatty Tian said, he glanced at his mouth and sneered: "What kind of high-level name is this?! Which storyteller in Fengtian City didn't snap the gavel and shout 'slap' when it comes to war?"

The imaginary is real, the real is imaginary'?! All fools know what to do!"

The generals of the National Defense Force couldn't help but blush at Tu Sanpao's words. Who told them that they didn't understand this at first? Fortunately, someone came to the rescue at this time, and a staff officer hurried in and shouted at Tu Sanpao.

road.

"Report! The artillery responded that all the artillery units have been adjusted! Please give instructions!" Tu Sanpao looked at his watch and said solemnly to everyone: "Order! Launch the general attack in fifteen minutes!"

"Tell the artillery! Fire at the predetermined target in fifteen minutes! Air Force, prepare in fifteen minutes! Take off immediately after the sound of artillery to clear the Japanese fighter planes over the position! Telegraph the navy! Ask them to use naval guns to help clean up!"

Tu Sanpao looked at everyone with solemnity and said solemnly: "After the sound of cannons stops, launch a general attack!! Action!!"

"Yes!!" Everyone immediately stood up and gave a solemn military salute to Tu Sanpao! They responded loudly, and then rushed down to prepare to go!

The generals who had walked to the door suddenly heard Tu Sanpao say something to the staff officer, which almost made them all stagger and fall! But they heard Tu Sanpao say to the staff officer.

"Well... the storytellers said we are a country of etiquette! So we can't embarrass our ancestors! At fourteen minutes and forty seconds, I sent a coded telegram to the Japanese, telling them that because of his son of a bitch, he tried to assassinate my son.

!So I’m here for revenge! Let’s declare war! Don’t follow their example of petty theft…”

Tu Sanpao spoke righteously to the staff officer, and Eisenhower, who was standing next to Tu Sanpao, not only admired the bearded man, the biological father of the tiger...rt
Chapter completed!
