When the Japanese saw Sun Dianying coming in, he immediately stood up and bowed and said, "General Sun, you're fine. Are you okay these days?"
Sun Dianying hummed and said, "Mr. Ishita, I am a member of the National Army and you are a representative of the Japanese Army. We should have never been in contact with each other until death. I don't know why you have come to see me again and again this time."
Ishita laughed and said, "General Sun, where did you start with these words? China and Japan are separated by a narrow strip of water. They are friendly alliances. In the past, your country's Prime Minister Sun was able to succeed thanks to our country's funding. So we have always been loyal to your country."
The country has a favorable impression, and the fact that we ended up in this situation is nothing more than the insistence of Chiang Kai-shek's intermediaries and the sowing discord of the Red Party."
Sun Dianying waved his hand, and Mazi's face was full of disdain and said, "Don't say it's useless, tell me, what's the matter? If nothing happens, I'll see you off."
Ishita knew that Sun Dianying was originally a bandit, and he had always considered himself a hero. He was often unethical towards people and things, and spoke of loyalty, but this loyalty could not stand in the face of interests. He could be said to be a typical green forest figure.
Ishita said directly, "The Imperial Army has suffered heavy losses in the past two months. Do you know why?"
Sun Dianying closed his eyes and nodded and said, "Salt!"
Ishita shook his head and said, "It's this salt. I don't know why, but there are countless salt dealers all over North China. Each of these people are very bold and powerful. As long as someone wants to check them, they will be attacked by the guerrillas."
In the end, everyone was buying private salt. This is a waste of money. Who made so much money? I wonder if there is any news about General Sun? Do you think the imperial army will swallow this?
?”
Sun Dianying smiled and said, "If you want to fight, fight. What are you talking about? Isn't it just a sweep? Who in the whole of North China doesn't know this news? You are grabbing strong men everywhere and building bunkers. Aren't you just making preparations? Come on,
We’re not afraid of you, it’s not like we’ve never fought before!”
Sun Dianying came from a rough background and defected many times. In the end, he was forced to have no choice but to use his treasures to follow Dai Li's path. Only then did he get in touch with Jiang Jie and was recruited as an army commander. Although in front of Jiang Jie, he
He cried and shouted that Jiang Jie was his reborn parent, but he was not really grateful to Jiang Jie. This was just another attempt to sell himself for glory. But Sun Dianying did fight a few good battles with the Japanese army in North China.
, and therefore gained the attention of the Japanese army, which led to Ishita's visit.
"Haha, we are not here to attack the general, we are here to attack the Eighth Route Army. After the Eighth Route Army came, the general did not have a very happy life, right?" Shixia said with a smile to Sun Dianying.
Sun Dianying touched his beard. This was not pleasant at all, it was simply painful. Since the Eighth Route Army came, it not only occupied his original guerrilla zone, but also made the people no longer pay taxes to him. He protected himself with a gun.
Their people, these unruly people, don’t know what is good or bad at all!
"The empire hopes to have peace talks with Mr. Chiang Kai-shek. You may not know that Mr. Chiang Kai-shek is already in peace talks with us. Chairman Wang has communicated with Mr. Chiang Kai-shek and is here to take a stand. Therefore, cooperating with us does not violate Chongqing's policy.
"I mean, think about it, if it weren't for the tacit approval of Mr. Jiang Zhongqing, would Chairman Wang be able to leave Chongqing?" Shixia whispered, but in fact he just gave Sun Dianying a seemingly reasonable reason.
"But the reputation of not saving anything at the sight of death is not good. We Chinese live by this reputation." Sun Dianying continued to wait for the price and said.
"One thousand rifles as our gift. In addition, as long as it is private salt you can find, the empire will give it to you. You can sell or eat it as you like, and we will not check your private salt...
.There are other things, but we won’t check them either, how about that?”
When Sun Dianying heard this, his eyes turned red. No one could tell how much wealth this private salt had exchanged for in North China. But what is certain is that there must be a large amount of private salt hidden in North China now. You can get as much as you find.
Where is the salt here? This is all money!
Sun Dianying slapped the table and said, "Okay! That's it, I'll make you my friend!"
——Beiping
In the imperial palace in Peiping, Takeshita Shigeo walked slowly, admiring the crystallization of Chinese art for hundreds of years. Looking at the carved dragons and paintings of phoenixes, Takeshita Shigeo's eyes couldn't help but become blurred.
"How about it? Takeshita-kun, this is the place where Chinese emperors have lived for hundreds of years. In the past, it was a sin for us Japanese to even raise our heads here. But now, we have become the masters of this place." King Minuhiko Higashikata Palace
He walked over and said to Takeshita Shigeo.
Takeshita Shigeo tilted his head, looked over, and saw that it was King Higashikaru Palace Minuhiko. Then he stood at attention and said to King Higashikuru Palace Minuhiko, "Commander, I'm sorry, I didn't notice you. I was indeed immersed in my world."
I got hit. I wonder what happened to your Excellency, Commander?"
King Higashikata Minuhiko picked up a stone and threw it at a tree with great force. Several leaves of the tree were knocked off, and several birds were frightened and immediately flew up.
"Did you see it? This is the Battle of Nomenhan that just broke out. Most people only saw the fallen leaves, but they didn't expect that there would be frightened birds. The war between us and the Soviet Union is inevitable. So we in North China must be stable.
Once we have problems in North China, the Kwantung Army will be in crisis. That will shake the foundation of the empire." King Higashikata Minuhiko finished speaking and asked, "Do you know where the biggest source of unrest in North China is now?"
Takeshita Shigeo narrowed his eyes and said, "Eighth Route Army! Liu Bocheng!"
King Tojiure Gong Minyan nodded and said, "Yes, it is the Eighth Route Army of the Red Party. They defeated the Third Army and took back Shanxi. They are still recruiting troops in Shanxi. The terrain of Shanxi is easy to defend and difficult to attack. We don't have the energy to attack Shanxi anymore.
, but we definitely don’t want them to fight back to North China. Shanxi is our bottom line! As long as they leave Shanxi, we will wipe out them all. And now Liu Bocheng’s Taihang Mountain troops not only attack everywhere, but also carry out plain guerrilla warfare and railways.
In guerrilla warfare, the railway from Hebei to Peking is cut off at least two days a week. These guerrillas are like loaches, extremely difficult to catch. Sooner or later, these people will eat up all of North China, so we must completely eliminate them."
After saying this, King Higashinominiya looked at Takeshita Shigeo, patted his shoulder and said, "I heard that you did well with Okamura Neji, so I hope you can also make meritorious service in North China."
Takeshita Shigeo lowered his head and said, "Please give me your instructions."
King Dong Jiure Gong Minyan pointed to the north and said, "Find Liu Bocheng, capture him! Kill him! Eliminate the brains of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang Mountains! Lay the foundation for the empire's complete victory in North China! I order you to form a special attack team, and any members of the North China Front Army
You can pick and choose anyone, all I need is Liu Bocheng’s head.”
Takeshita Shigeo took a deep breath and said, "To take the head of an admiral from an army is a taste of art... Commander, please rest assured, I only need a hundred people, no more, no less, I will definitely
This work of art will be completed.”
King Higashikata Minuhiko nodded and said, "I believe in you, just do it, you will become a hero of the empire."
——Manchuria
Takeda Takeo walked to Tada Shun's room. Tada Shun was reading a book. When he saw Takeda Takeo smiled and said, "How is it? That Tsuji Masanobu has a very high reputation in the Kwantung Army. He also regards your teacher as his idol."
Come and look at it, and just want to make some achievements."
Takeda Takeo shook his head and said, "Compared with the teacher, he is not even as good as a firefly. I thought he was a genius consultant at first, but I was very disappointed."
Tada Shun asked with some interest, "Why did I disappoint you?"
Takeda Takeo said, "He has been saying how important the bushido spirit is, and constantly emphasizes that talent is the first priority. I agree with this, but war is not about who is brave, I only know that the brave man is just a reckless man, and...
..I think he’s been disguising himself.”
Tada Shun said incomprehensively, "Tell me and listen."
The study in the staff class during this period really touched Takeda Takeo. He said, "During a march, we ran out of water and there was no water source on the road. Everyone was insisting. He suddenly asked us to gather together, and then
Pour out all your own water and say you want to share the joys and sorrows! Isn't this acting? If I were him, I would let everyone drink this pot of water together. This is the way to unite everyone."
Tada Shun nodded and said, "Well, it is true. This is normal. He is different from your teacher and you. He is not a genius. He is just extremely diligent. But hard work can not make up for weakness. This time you discuss
How is it? Is there any consensus on the Su issue?"
Takeda Takeo sighed, "There are all voices clamoring for attack, but no one proposes how to end the war. This is wrong. Ending the war is more important than starting the war."
Shun Tada looked at Takeda Takeo and sighed, "You are a calm boy. Unfortunately, there are fewer and fewer calm people in our army. By the way, this is news from North China. They are going to war again. Look
look."
The connections Takeda Takeda accumulated in the Third Army played a role here. He constantly used the excuse that he wanted to understand the war situation in North China so that he could be ready to go back to fight at any time, and asked the former commander of the Third Army to write about the current status of the war situation for him from time to time. He used this
This channel collects intelligence, and this intelligence is continuously sent to Yan'an along with the telegrams.
——Taihang Mountain
Liu Bocheng and Deng Xianxian walked on the road together.
"Do you think Lin Sanhu and Mr. He are particularly jealous when they know that we are about to fight a war?" Liu Bocheng joked with a smile.
"It's okay, Mr. He. The Military Commission has decided that he will be the main attacker in Suiyuan. Lin Sanhu is aggrieved. Henan and Shandong mainly focus on development and fight guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare. Although there are frequent successes, we still want to fight a big war.
, I’m afraid I have to wait for a long time.”
The two chatted and laughed before arriving at the conference room, which was originally a temple and was transformed into the headquarters of the 129th Division.
"Teacher" and "Political Commissar"
When everyone saw the two, they immediately shouted. The two kept shaking hands with the commanders, and it took a while before they sat down on the rostrum.
"How long has it been since we all sat together? Three months or four months?" Liu Bocheng asked first.
"One hundred and twenty-nine days, I'll count." Deng Xianxian replied.
"Oh, it's been so long. Let me talk about our current situation so that everyone can have a bottom line." Liu Bocheng raised his glasses and said, "In our Taihang Mountain Military Region, we currently have our 129th Division and the reinforced 61st Army.
The 61st Army is a newly reorganized unit. It is currently lacking a military commander. I will be working part-time. Everyone needs to work closely together.
Our two units have a total of 41 regiments and 479 guerrilla brigades in the Taihang Mountains, with a total of 196,000 people. Among them, 70,000 are persisting in guerrilla warfare in the plains. What we are about to face is a mopping up force of about 300,000 people.
, there may be more, the enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered." Liu Bocheng said and looked below, but found that no one was afraid, but everyone looked eager to try.
Deng Xianxian smiled and said, "Very good, everyone is very energetic. If you have confidence and energy, you can win the battle!"
Liu Bocheng nodded and said, "We have received the news that the Japanese army will first separate our army from the plain guerrillas so that they can defeat them one by one. However, we ignore them and fight our own. Our initial plan is to concentrate our forces and eliminate all the guerrillas."
....."
At this time, at the foot of the Taihang Mountains, a troop wearing the shabby uniforms of the Eighth Route Army was marching. Each of these men was serious in speech, and they were all holding Japanese-style weapons. However, this was also common among the Eighth Route Army, but it was just a troop with such a high proportion of firearms.
Probably only a few main groups can do it.
"Captain, there is a mountainous area ahead. It is said that there will be sentries asking us to check our passwords and see our IDs. We must be careful." A soldier said in fluent Chinese.
The person called the captain was none other than Takeshita Shigeo. Takeshita Shigeo touched his chin and thought for a while and said, "We still have a few days before the encirclement and suppression. Let's go into the mountains without any hurry. We will go back to ambush a guerrilla and find a way to get these."
Thing, in addition, send a small team to see if there is a safe path. The Dabie Mountains are so big, it is impossible for all the roads to be watched by the Eighth Route Army."
With that said, the troop turned around and headed towards a town.
——Taihang Mountain
After the meeting, when Liu Bocheng and Deng Xixian came out, they saw Zhou Weiguo and Zhenbai Siwen. They immediately saluted and said, "Mr. Liu, hello Political Commissar Deng."
Liu Bocheng asked curiously, "Captain Zhou, Zhenbai? Why are you two here?"
Zhou Weiguo said, "The chairman has received news that a particularly elite team is in North China, so he asked two of our troops to prepare to eliminate them."
Liu Bocheng smiled and said, "203 really asked you to come out. Okay, there will be a war soon. The troops you mentioned may actually show up. I will inform you as soon as there is news."
Zhenbai Siwen pulled Zhou Weiguo and said, "Okay, go back quickly, I'm so sleepy."
Deng Xixian shook his hand and said, "Go and have a rest. You have worked hard on this journey."
