One hundred and twentieth eight chapters plum agency
The Eighth Route Army continued to move to the safe northwest of Shanxi with a large amount of supplies and personnel. The first troops to arrive began to march towards Yan'an. Chairman Mao received the battle report from Mr. Zhu in Yan'an. He happily held a meeting with several comrades in charge of economy and industry that night to prepare.
Personnel receiving these supplies.
The 20th Division, which suffered a huge blow, took stock after rescuing people and found that thousands of people had been drowned by the flood and countless ammunition and materials were consumed. The angry Kawagishi Bunzaburo immediately ordered the troops to continue the pursuit. He yelled that only
Only the blood of the Eighth Route Army can wash away his shame.
But high mountains and dense forests are not easy to pursue. The continuous mines and the guerrilla warfare of the troops behind the lines made the 20th Division complain. Kawagishi Bunzaburo was furious as he watched the reporters mocking him one article after another.
, but instead increased the intensity of the pursuit.
This was also thanks to his great success in capturing Taiyuan first. Otherwise, it is doubtful whether Bunzaburo Kawagishi would have been thrown into the reserve.
In the dense forest, Mr. Zhu heard the pursuers approaching from behind. Looking at the dense convoy in front of him, he couldn't help but worry and said, "It will be very dangerous for us if the Japanese are chasing us down like this. I think we should throw away all the unnecessary things."
, light transport is the best.”
At this time, Zuo Quan came over and said, "Boss, the 203 telegram has arrived."
Mr. Zhu couldn't help but said a little strangely, "What's wrong with him? Did something happen?"
Zuo Quan shook his head and said, "He said in the telegram that we should not give up supplies easily. He will find a way to stop the Japanese. You said 203 has no soldiers or guns. What can he do?"
Boss Zhu took the telegram and smiled and said, "Don't underestimate 203. He is worth a million soldiers. We believe in him. Let's wait for his news and let He Long hold on for a while."
It turned out that after Jiang Cheng got the news about the burning of Qinglong Town, he was so happy that he couldn't help himself. He suddenly thought of the big killer he had purchased, and also thought that the Japanese headquarters in Shanghai was still closed, so he sent a telegram to Zhou Guansheng.
Asking Zhou Guansheng to help use the secret power of the Red Party to investigate, he found an uninhabited open space, reset the time and space point, and traveled back to Black Iron Island.
As soon as he returned to Black Iron Island, Jiang Cheng was shocked by the big killer in front of him. Although he had watched military parades and war movies on TV in later generations, the sense of oppression when the real thing appeared in front of him was not comparable to that of TV. Jiang Cheng
Cheng looked at the thick instruction manual placed aside and quickly said to Gallagher, "You should be fine. It would really be a joke if I took it and couldn't use it."
Gallagher almost jumped up and said, "You can insult your brain, but don't insult my IQ. Such a simple thing is just a little toy to me, okay? Just turn it over to me and let me tell you what genius is."
"
In the open space outside Gujiao City, Jiang Cheng kept changing some settings on the car. Since he couldn't understand Russian at all, Jiang Cheng could only follow Gallagher's instructions. Jiang Cheng kept talking to the driver while working.
When he talks about fighting, outsiders look like a lunatic.
Jiang Cheng let out a breath and said, "It's finally okay. Gallagher, are you sure this is right?"
Gallagher said matter-of-factly, "Of course. I don't believe how much your little planet can change in just a few decades. As long as your drone pictures are correct, there will definitely be no problem."
Jiang Cheng nodded, took a deep breath, and pressed the button fiercely. He only saw 12 rounds of 300mm rocket launchers whizzing out, and soon turned into meteors and disappeared into the night. Jiang Cheng sighed and said, "
It's a pity that I can't see the scene anymore, I can only watch the drone's broadcast." After saying that, he took out the drone's display screen and looked at it. Jiang Cheng couldn't see the Japanese garrison in Dahugou live.
But I felt it firsthand. In order to pursue the Eighth Route Army, a regiment of the 20th Division was stationed in Dahugou. The main purpose was to meet the troops who went to pursue it. Since it was determined that there were no enemies around, the Japanese troops in Taiyuan City were all there.
After a carnival break, the Japanese troops stationed in Dahugou also drank wine, looked at the moon, and talked about flower girls.
At this time, a Japanese soldier shouted, "Look, it's a shooting star!"
When everyone took a look, they saw more than a dozen shooting stars shining brightly.
A veteran squinted his eyes and said, "Why are these meteors getting bigger and bigger? Wait, these are not meteors, they are shelling!"
Although they knew it was an artillery attack, the Japanese army did not panic too much. They knew at a glance that these were only a dozen shells. How many people could be killed? As long as they lay down, they would probably be fine.
It is true that a dozen or so ordinary artillery shells will not cause much damage, but this is a 300mm rocket launcher and an incendiary bomb specially selected by Jiang Cheng.
He only saw these meteors quickly smashing into the Japanese barracks, and huge fireballs appeared one after another. Jiang Cheng only saw a dozen small mushroom clouds appearing on the screen. Each of these 300mm rocket launchers weighed 800 kilograms.
Ah, such a huge amount of bombs completely burned the entire military camp. The boundless sea of fire immediately burned the Japanese outside into black charcoal, and then set the guns and ammunition on fire one after another, turning the entire military camp into a huge fire field.
When Bunzaburo Kawagishi arrived at the scene, he only saw the entire military camp turned into a sea of flames. He slowly knelt down and shouted loudly, "What on earth is going on! Who can tell me what on earth is going on?"
What’s going on!! Why is this happening, why!!”
No one could tell him the truth, and Jiang Cheng, the only one who knew the truth, asked the guards who heard the news to cover the vehicle with black cloth. After all, in their eyes, it was just a big truck. At this time, Zhou Guansheng
When the reply came, the sewers of the Japanese headquarters in Shanghai had not been dug. Jiang Cheng pinched the telegram into a ball and said with a smile, "The Japanese in the north paid the interest, now it's your turn."
——Linfen
This city in southern Shanxi is now the temporary headquarters of the Second War Zone. Yan Xishan was wearing a robe, dressed like a landlord and a squire, leaning on a cane, and looking at the telegram in his hand, his whole body was shaking.
"Look, look, how dare the Red Party do this? It's all saved bit by bit by us Shanxi people, it's all our hard-earned money, how dare they destroy it like this!" said
Yan Xishan shed tears after hearing two lines. He couldn't help but think of the achievements he had made through frugal living and constant investment in industry for so many years. Now they were all destroyed. Even if he knew that these things would only be given to the Japanese at a cheap price, Yan
Xishan is not willing to accept this reality.
"Sir Yan, please have my condolences. In any case, the Eighth Route Army also eliminated many Japanese, so those machines deserved their death." Wei Lihuang quickly comforted him.
Wei Lihuang didn't say it was okay, but when he said that Yan Xishan felt even more uncomfortable, the Eighth Route Army actually had the strength to fight the Japanese head-on. Although the intelligence showed that it only relied on fire and water attacks, it also said that the Eighth Route Army did not
As he thought, he had no frontal combat capability, and he was so eye-catching in the provincial capital of Shanxi. In the future, he still had to weigh up whether Shanxi's surname was Hong or Yan.
--Nanjing
Agent Jiang held the scepter and could not believe the battle report in front of him. The Eighth Route Army actually achieved such a record. Although Boss Zhu and others were busy moving and had not publicized it yet, the foreign reporters in Taiyuan had already flooded the Japanese army.
The photos of the 20th Division were posted all over the world, and Jiang's agent naturally received the news.
"Look, the Eighth Route Army is not as well equipped as the Central Army, its pay is not as good as the Central Army's, and the main grassroots officers are from poor backgrounds. But if you look at how others have fought, don't you have any ideas?" Jiang Jie patted the table.
Cursed.
"Commissioner, this is not because the Eighth Route Army is good at fighting, but because the generals of the Eighth Route Army are good at planning and attacking with fire and water. It reminds me of Zhuge Wuhou back then." He Yingqin looked at Bai Chongxi, who was known as Little Zhuge, with a hint of meaning.
Bai Chongxi snorted coldly and said, "These are just small tricks. How can one really burn a million Japanese troops to death with one fire? The real victory or defeat still depends on the frontal battlefield, machine guns and artillery."
Agent Jiang nodded in agreement and said, "We can see from the Taiyuan victory that the Japanese army is not terrible. Although we may temporarily lose Nanjing, this is all part of the grand strategy. General Tang, how to make good use of Nanjing to consume the Japanese army?"
Strength, I hope you think about it carefully. Tomorrow, I will go to Wuhan with the last group of military and political officials. I hope you will not let down the people, the party and the country, and the former Prime Minister."
Tang Zhisheng quickly stood up and saluted, "You must do your best for your humble position, even if you die."
The next day, under the cover of darkness in the early morning, Chiang Kai-shek left Nanjing with the last military and political team, leaving behind nearly 80,000 Central Army troops and the people who were still being dispersed, as well as Tang Zhisheng and other Nanjing garrison headquarters.
--Tokyo
The cabinet meeting was filled with joy. Although the Japanese troops were still blocked on the defense line in the south, everyone knew that it was only a matter of time before they captured Nanjing. Even the most pessimistic people had no doubts about Japan's victory in the China Incident.
.
Konoe Fumimaro shook his head and said, "Gentlemen, I just listened to the sound of the crane from His Majesty the Emperor. His Majesty the Emperor is generally very satisfied with our progress in China, although we did not achieve the three goals predicted when the war just started.
The fighting will be over within this month, but it is foreseeable that the China Incident will be successfully concluded by the end of this year. I have once again made a promise to His Majesty the Emperor that the Imperial samurai will go home for the New Year. The land and sea relations will end at the end of this year.
Are there any difficulties in fighting?"
Sugiyama Gen glanced at Mitsumasa Yoneuchi and said, "Our army naturally has no problem. After all, the honor of the Empire of Japan still depends on our army."
Mitsumasa Yoneuchi snorted and said, "I heard that the army just won a great victory in Taiyuan. It is said that Pound is reincarnated and Cao Ren is reborn."
Sugiyama Yuan frowned when he heard this, and he patted the table and shouted, "But the Imperial Army has captured Taiyuan after all. Northern China has been captured by the Imperial Army, and the fertile land in the southeast will also be controlled by the Imperial Army. As for those guerrillas, they are just small groups."
, what a moral thing.”
Seeing that the two men were about to fight again, Konoe quickly interrupted and said, "The war has begun but it will eventually end. The next task is to persuade Chiang Kai-shek's intermediary government to surrender and rule China. Do you have any suggestions?"
Finance Minister Kagoya Konobu first said, "Since the China Incident, the Imperial Army has suffered more than 160,000 casualties, and this number is still rising. At the same time, the consumption of a large amount of military supplies has caused our inventory to deplete very quickly.
My calculations tell me that this year’s military expenditure may exceed 3 billion yen, which is close to the total military expenditure of the past four years. Of course, this is the result of the end of the war at the end of the year. Otherwise, the number will be even higher. Therefore, I suggest that in
In negotiations with Chiang Kai-shek, war compensation must be given top priority."
Konoe nodded and said, "That's true. China started the China Incident, so China should foot the bill. Is there anything else?"
Hirota Koki said, "Chiang Kai-shek has left Nanjing for Wuhan and moved the capital to Chongqing. Based on my understanding of him, I am afraid that he will not easily cease war with the empire. Therefore, it is extremely important to find a suitable candidate within the China government."
.”
Konoe Fumimaro had great respect for this old senior and quickly said, "Okay, I think this matter can be left to Shanghai. If the Chiang agency is stubborn, we will look for other suitable candidates, but everything must be done well."
Preparations in two aspects. The Army must continue to put pressure on the Chinese government and make the Chinese government truly realize that it must either surrender or completely subjugate the country!"
——Shanghai Japanese Army Headquarters
Looking at the ruins that were still being cleaned up in front of him, Nakanishi Ko couldn't help but admire the strength of the mysterious army again. Although more than a week had passed, since Shanghai had been completely captured by the Japanese army, there was no troop transport in this sewer.
It is necessary, but because the last attack was considered one of the weaknesses, so now it is not so much cleaning up, but preparing to bury it completely.
Zhongxi Gong returned to his room and checked the room to make sure no one had come in. He finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had just received the news that the Red Party had won a great victory in the north. He was extremely excited and excited.
Once again, I was convinced that as long as the Red Party was still there, Japan would not be able to truly conquer China. At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Who?" Zhongxi Gong immediately sat up.
"Report, His Excellency Yingzuo Zhenzhao asked you to go to a meeting immediately." It turned out to be a guard.
Zhongxi Gong immediately opened the door and said, "I'm going now."
In the conference room at this time, the heads of Japanese military intelligence in Shanghai gathered together. Yingzuo Zhenzhao saw Nakanishi Gong sitting down and said, "Gentlemen, the victory of the imperial army has been determined. According to the latest news, our army has broken through Wu Fu."
The Xicheng Line is continuing to attack the Xicheng Line, with only 2,000 people killed. After these two defense lines, which are so much boasted by China, are breached, Nanjing will surely fall in a single battle. What Tokyo is now considering is how to force Chiang to end the intermediary.
war, and at the same time, just in case, prepare to find new collaborators in the Chinese government."
Nanzo Yunzi, who had just returned from collecting intelligence, said, "I am familiar with many high-level officials in Nanjing, and I also know some of Chiang's intermediaries. I don't think he will surrender easily, and Tokyo's plan will probably fail."
Although the final mission failed because Yu Yishan was rescued, Toushan Geming, who was still promoted, said doubtfully, "If the capital is captured, won't you surrender?"
