Itagaki Seishiro nodded and signaled the Four Princes Tennobu Taka to continue.
Siwang Tianyanxiao continued, "In fact, our country is also on guard against Freemasonry. The Freemasonry has told us that they will not interfere with politics and religion, and are just a loose organization. As far as I know, all the Freemasons have joined
The Japanese all join overseas branches. Haha, these guys say they don’t interfere in politics and religion, but they don’t even dare to let us visit. They are a completely anti-national and racial group!”
As he spoke, the Fourth Prince Tennobu curiously asked Itagaki Seishiro, "I wonder why the General suddenly became interested in Freemasonry? What is this picture?"
Itagaki Seishiro frowned and said, "This was found at the residence of a very powerful consortium in China. Do you think the materials appearing in China are related to Freemasonry? I mean the ones from Guangzhou to Shaoguan."
The Fourth King Tian Yanxiao thought for a while and said, "It's very possible. As far as I know, there are two to three thousand members of Freemasonry in Japan. You know, one of the requirements of Freemasonry is to become elite. That is to say, Freemasonry
The two or three thousand people are elites from all walks of life. Among them there must be figures from our military, including the navy and army. If these people work together, it is very possible to transport something in."
Itagaki Seishiro nodded and sighed, "Ishihara-kun is right, the final war will definitely be a war between races..."
"Knock, knock, knock." A rapid knock on the door came, and Itagaki Seishiro said to the outside, "Come in."
A communications soldier came in and saluted Itagaki Seishiro and said, "Report! Battle report sent from Hengyang - On the sixth day of the battle, our army's 13th Division launched seventeen attacks today, all of which were unsuccessful. Today's casualties are 1,183.
In addition, Major General Yamada Umeji, commander of the 103rd Brigade, charged forward during the battle and was accidentally hit by a stray bullet. The 13th Division lost its combat effectiveness and is now attacked by the 6th Division."
"What?" Itagaki Seishiro was surprised and stepped forward to take the battle report. He slowly put it down and said, "Yamada-kun has been fighting in China for three years. This time, to be sure, I specially transferred him back to the Thirteenth Division.
I hope he can exert his former fighting power in Nanjing, but I didn’t expect that he would be able to crush Hengyang..."
Itagaki Seishiro quickly calculated in his mind with his hands behind his back and said, "Since the war in Hengyang, the 13th Division has suffered more than 8,000 casualties in just six days. The casualties are indeed too great. It is right to replace them with the 6th Division."
.Come on, I’m going to Hengyang, I want to see with my own eyes what’s going on in Hengyang!”
——Hengyang
On the eighth day of the battle in Hengyang, Itagaki Seishiro was standing on the east bank of the Xiangjiang River with a telescope looking at Shiniu Peak with black smoke rising in the distance.
Next to him, Anami Weiji said to Itagaki Seishiro, "Look, that is the Shiniufeng position. It is stationed by the Tenth Army and the Youth Army of the National Army. They are the main forces of the Chongqing government. There are their artillery behind the hill.
position, our aviation forces made a lot of efforts but could not completely blow up their artillery."
Itagaki Seishiro frowned and asked, "Don't we have air superiority?"
Anan Weiji shook his head and said, "We have complete air superiority, but the enemy has set up many anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns for protection near the artillery positions. In addition, starting from the next day, they have dispersed the artillery on more than a dozen artillery positions.
, you can’t cook it all in one pot.”
Itagaki Seishiro nodded, indicating that he understood and said, "Let me take a look at the attack once."
"Hi!"
After a while, the attack composed of two brigades began to advance towards the two mountains. The Japanese artillery continued to explode on the Shiniu Peak. The Japanese aircraft also dropped bombs on the Shiniu Peak, watching the smoke billowing from the Shiniu Peak.
Seemingly, Itagaki Seishiro nodded to express his satisfaction.
The Sixth Division is also the main force of the Japanese army. Even after participating in the war, most of the officers and soldiers have been replaced, but the supplementary troops they received are also the most elite, and their combat power has not dropped too much. The Japanese infantry consists of several people.
, covering each other, rushed towards Shiniu Peak quickly. The Japanese tanks and armored vehicles rushed forward slowly in the middle. The Japanese soldiers in the middle were carrying ladders and planks, which made Seishiro Itagaki feel a little strange. He asked Anami how much
"Why do you need a ladder and a wooden plank?"
Anan Weiji said, "The defenders dug a trench ten meters deep and seven or eight meters wide. We tried many times, but could not fill it. We had to ask the troops to build pontoons with ladders and wooden planks, but every time
After our attack is defeated, gasoline will be thrown from the mountain to burn down the pontoon bridge we built, making it necessary to start over every time."
Shiniufeng was very quiet, with not much movement. Itagaki Seishiro continued to watch the battle with a frown. Finally, less than 200 meters away from the trench, the Japanese army began to charge.
"Dudududu"
A piercing horn sounded, and Itagaki Seishiro clearly saw that an armored vehicle was hit by several artillery shells and exploded on the spot. The debris after the explosion killed several Japanese soldiers nearby. Only then did Itagaki Seishiro understand why these soldiers should have been standing in front.
The armored vehicles and tanks only dared to stay behind. It turned out that there were a large number of combat anti-aircraft guns on the mountain.
Then, countless mortar shells, mountain artillery shells, and howitzer shells exploded into the Japanese attacking group. The Japanese artillery force also fired back violently. Itagaki Seishiro hurriedly looked at the mountain and found that the artillery on the mountain was actually in every corner, and
The concentrated artillery used by the Japanese army was completely different. Itagaki Seishiro could not figure out how to organize an attack with such a deployment. After thinking about it, he realized that it seemed that the defenders used the Charge as a signal to launch attacks and retreats. Such a deployment made the Japanese army
The advantage of the artillery was completely unable to be used, and the calculated trajectory could only hit one or two artillery pieces. The Japanese army had never tried a dispersed attack and was unwilling to try it, which resulted in a huge disadvantage.
Then countless machine guns and rifles fired at the Japanese troops, and grenades were thrown near the trenches like rain. The Japanese troops who desperately built the pontoon bridge suffered heavy casualties, but the Sixth Division was worthy of being an elite, and they quickly found shelter and launched a counterattack on the mountain.
, grenades and mortars also continued to counterattack.
Itagaki Seishiro shook his head and said, "Withdraw, fighting like this won't work."
Ananwei nodded and said, "That's true. The Shiniufeng position is extremely strong and our army suffered heavy casualties. However, Shiniufeng is the commanding heights of Hengyang. The National Army has deployed a large number of artillery here. If we don't capture this place, Hengyang will not be able to survive."
Possible victory."
Itagaki Seishiro thought for a while and said, "It will be very dangerous if we can't attack for a long time. It's the seventh day now. The information I got is that the Chiang intermediary asked them to defend for thirty days in order to give the Xue Yue tribe that was defeated by us time to repair. By then they will
There will definitely be a counterattack, and you can attack until the seventeenth day at most. On the eighteenth day, the strategy changes to encircling the point for reinforcements. If the tortoise is not easy to fight, then hit the rabbit! The enemy puts heavy artillery behind the mountain, although it can provide maximum protection.
Although it also affected the range, pull out all our heavy artillery and smash the Stone Niu Peak to pieces!"
Anami Weiji knew that he had little battlefield experience, so he followed Itagaki Seishiro's advice. Itagaki Seishiro continued, "Our army has surrounded Hengyang. If the aviation force must play the role of a scout, they must not be allowed to escape from the west."
Anan Weiji smiled and said, "Don't worry, they released the water themselves and flooded the northwest into a swamp, making it impossible to march on a large scale."
Itagaki Seishiro felt relieved and said to Anami Yuiki, "Then I'll leave it to you. I'm going back to Tokyo. I hope to get your good news somewhere."
When Itagaki Seishiro returned to the station, Toushan was already waiting there. Itagaki Seishiro looked at Toushan and said, "Tell me the scene of meeting Jiang Cheng from beginning to end. Don't miss out on the details."
Toushan nodded and slowly started talking about the time he arrived in Hengyang, including the strange equipment he saw Li Qian and others, the painting, and the eyes of Li Qian and others.
Itagaki Seishiro waited for Touyama to finish speaking, and then asked some more detailed questions, and then nodded and said, "This is only reasonable. Otherwise, how could an inexplicable young Chinese have such strong strength? It seems that they are behind
There really is a big force."
As he spoke, Itagaki Seishiro looked at Toushan and asked, "I remember that Jiang Cheng was the director of the Youth Army's Logistics Department and had a close relationship with the Communist Party. So, would Chiang Ching-kuo also be related to that organization?"
"
Toushan shook his head and said, "I don't think so. *** has been in the Soviet Union. He should not have access to organizations other than the Red Party. Moreover, his father is a Chiang Kai-shek intermediary. I can't think of any benefits that can attract him."
to him."
Itagaki Seishiro nodded in agreement, thought for a while and said, "I'm going to Tokyo to report this matter, you go with me..."
"Hi!"
In Hengyang City, Jinshan handed a telegram to Jiang Cheng and said, "My boss, a telegram from Yan'an."
Jiang Cheng put down the novel he brought from later generations, took it and read it. It said that Jiang Cheng should go back to Yan'an.
Jiang Cheng hummed and said, "Okay, I understand. You and Qianqian will be guarding Hengyang. If there are any problems in Hengyang, please call Yan'an immediately."
Jinshan nodded to express his understanding.

When Jiang Cheng returned home, it was a working day during the day and there was no one at home. After Jiang Cheng washed up, he drove directly to the company.
Sun Ning happened to be there. When he saw Jiang Cheng, he smiled and said, "You're back? How is it?"
Jiang Cheng hung up his clothes and said, "It went very well. I could have played well, not to mention that I have strengthened my strength. How is the company's situation recently?"
Sun Ning took out a report and said, "Our products are not bad. This month's net profit is nearly 100 million, mainly from factories and personnel. Equipment is still being purchased and built, and it will increase significantly in the future."
One hundred million... Jiang Cheng looked at the long list of numbers with some emotion. In the past, even one million felt like an astronomical figure, but now he made one hundred million in a month. But before Jiang Cheng could finish his happiness,
Another report was placed in front of Jiang Cheng and said, "Don't be silly, what you are looking at is our external report, this is our real report, take a look at it."
Jiang Cheng took it and took a look, and suddenly felt his heart skip a beat and asked, "Why are you still losing money?"
Sun Ning rolled his eyes and said, "You bought so many things for free? This is because most of the things are very cheap. Otherwise, you will lose more than just these."
Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, "This is not possible. In the future, they will need more and more things, and our money will become less and less. The only valuable things over there are gold, antiques and gems, but this is not a long-term solution.
"
Sun Ning said helplessly, "The net profit of more than 100 million a month is already an exaggeration. You have to know that last year, the total net profit of China's top 500 manufacturing companies was less than 400 billion, which means that the average of a top 500 company was less than 8
Billion, we are now above the average, how long have we been?”
Jiang Cheng also knew that haste makes waste, so he could only console Sun Ning and said, "It's all up to you. Haven't we taken a lot of big orders?"
Sun Ning shrugged and said, "Yes, but do you know how much our expenditure is? But according to my budget, as long as one year passes and most of the factories are stabilized, our net profit will increase significantly.
By then, the net profit will reach hundreds of billions a year. Apple’s net profit last year was 300 billion yuan. If we do a good job, we will not be worse than them."
Jiang Cheng nodded, hugged Sun Ning and said with a smile, "Of course I believe you..." After saying that, they started kissing, their tongues were fighting, and they were extremely lingering. It took a while before they separated. Sun Ning pinched Jiang Cheng.
He smiled and said, "It's getting more and more unseemly."
Jiang Cheng smiled and asked, "By the way, you have been with me for a few years. The superiors won't transfer you, right?"
Sun Ning nudged Jiang Cheng, and Jiang Cheng reacted immediately. Sun Ning rolled her eyes at Jiang Cheng and said, "I'm leaving, and Sister Nana is still watching you. Don't worry, the higher-ups now know that you basically don't care about anything.
The company is in my hands and it is in the hands of the country, so the higher-ups want me to be here all the time. I'm afraid that even if you want to fire me, the country will find a way to make you keep me."
Jiang Cheng touched his nose, and after thinking about it, he thought it was right, so he stopped talking about it, let go of Sun Ning and said, "I'm going back to Yan'an this time. Please arrange what I want to bring."
Sun Ning nodded and said, "Okay, just tell me when you leave."
——Yan’an in the time and space of the Republic of China
Jiang Cheng, accompanied by Zhou Weiguo, arrived at Chairman Mao's cave dwelling. He saw Chairman Mao eating steamed buns with Lao Ganma and said with a smile, "Chairman, I'm back. Doesn't it taste good?"
Chairman Mao smiled and pointed to the opposite side and said, "Have you eaten? If not, let's eat together! I can't eat without Lao Ganma now!"
Jiang Cheng smiled and then took a steamed bun and dipped it in Lao Ganma's mouth and said, "This is delicious, but you can't eat too much. After all, it's not good for your health."
Chairman Mao waved his hand and said, "It's okay. My body knows best what my body needs. How is the fight in Hengyang?"
Jiang Cheng took a bite, nodded and said, "It's delicious! Hengyang is fighting very well. The Youth Army has taught the Tenth Army the key points of tunnel combat. Now when the Japanese bombard them, they hide in the tunnels and come out when the Japanese charge."
, the Japanese won’t be able to defeat us even if they fight for another month.”
Chairman Mao hummed and said, "The Youth Army has many comrades from our party. This is the best way to reduce casualties. Let me tell you something, our opponents in North China have changed."
Jiang Cheng looked at Chairman Mao and asked, "Replaced? Who was replaced? That prince is no longer here?"
Chairman Mao laughed and said, "Even if you defeat the prince, you will be scolded! It's a big acquaintance instead... Okamura Neji!"
"Ningji Okamura came to North China?" Jiang Cheng smiled and shook his head and said, "I really didn't expect this. He has already taken office in Peiping?"
Chairman Mao took a bite of steamed buns, looked east, smiled and said, "He has been missing for half a month..."
