"Actually, we have to think on the bright side." Li Weimin said, "When the news of our battle with the Japanese comes out, it will definitely boost the morale of the people of the country. Our independent division has no cowards, no cowards, and no retreat. We are still fighting against
The Japanese fought to protect the common people. Moreover, it was impossible for the Japanese to capture the current Laiyang County without 100,000 people. Obviously, after the Wuhan battle, it was difficult for the Japanese to easily gather 100,000 people.
Now in enemy-occupied areas, most Japanese soldiers have to guard the county town."
"Even if there are 100,000 people, I can still find a way to prevent them from coming back." Zhou Weiguo said, "But in this case, our original development plan will have to be shelved."
"Now that things are stranded, there is nothing we can do about it." Fang Shengli sighed, "The daily output of penicillin can reach 100,000 pills, which is simply a money-grabbing tool. I shipped a batch to Qingdao before.
, but only 10,000 pieces, and only received 100,000 silver dollars. If we can sell them all, let’s rely on this medicine..." Fang Shengli didn’t finish his words, but just sighed.
After hearing what Fang Shengli said, Zhou Weiguo raised his eyebrows and knew that everyone must be reluctant to leave Laiyang. After all, it is the first piece of their own territory. It is not impossible to defend it. It is just that with the cooperation of the Japanese army, land, sea and air, the advantage is too great.
Shao. I have always wanted to capture an outlet to the sea, but now I can give it a try. Moreover, once I hold it, the rewards will be huge.
"However, if we go east and seize the seaport, our development plan will not be stranded, but will develop more smoothly." Xu Hu stood up and said, "For example, seize Haiyang."
"But if we capture Haiyang, we will directly face the Japanese warships. It is really unfavorable for us." Leng Yan stood up and sighed.
"We can fight the Japanese." Xu Hu said, "The Japanese battleship guns always have a range. Taking the Yamato as an example, the main gun has a range of 25 miles, which is about 40 kilometers. But in order to ensure the highest hit rate, and at the same time ensure the battleship itself
Safety. Usually the shooting distance of battleship guns will be kept at about 20,000-30,000 meters. Moreover, the hit rate of battleship guns is very low."
Zhou Weiguo nodded, that is indeed the case. Moreover, once he captures Haiyang, he can install a few train guns and attack the Japanese warships properly. However, when the time comes, he will be surrounded by enemies on all sides and survival will be difficult. And it will be
It was constantly attacked by the Japanese army.
"That is to say, even if the Japanese have warships, they may not be able to recapture Haiyang." He He stood up and said, "If this is the case, once the Japanese know that there is no benefit in spending time with us, they will give up, because it is like
It's worthless, tasteless to eat, and it's a pity to throw it away. The main target of the Japanese is still the entire Chinese battlefield."
Zhou Weiguo nodded. He knew clearly that if the enemy's attack on them failed once, it would be difficult to have a second attack. After all, the enemy had mobilized the whole country to invade and occupy China. Now that the enemy is weak in follow-up, China still has so much territory.
Now the Japanese have to organize an attack of more than 100,000 people, which is equivalent to a small battle. It is impossible to organize several times in a row. The Japanese military also has to take care of the emotions of the domestic people. If too many sacrifices are made, Japan will
The people will oppose the war.
"So, those who agree to capture Haiyang, raise your hands." Zhou Weiguo said.
After a while, everyone raised their hands.
Zhou Weiguo nodded, "Then let me add the plan."
…
November 27, 1938, Japanese Army Headquarters in Tianjin.
"How about, did you find any problems in the recent exchange of telegrams with the 11th Composite Brigade?"
"No. Everything is normal. Commander, do you believe what the expatriate said?"
"It's not a matter of whether I believe it or not."
"Your Excellency, Commander, you must know that there are very few Chinese soldiers who can speak Japanese, not to mention the exaggerated number of more than 10,000 people. Moreover, how can this matter be true? He Konoe Fumi brought
How could such a large brigade not send even one telegram?"
"Indeed."
"Moreover, the 11th Brigade was responsible for repairing the airport and suppressing bandits a few days ago. It can be regarded as an example for our Empire of Japan. And, most importantly, your Excellency, Commander, the Konoe Cultural Brigade has led this month.
People went to Qingdao to hand over food. If something really happened to the Konoe Cultural Tourism Group, why would they still hand over food?"
"Yoshi, what you said makes sense. Was that a random guess made by the expat himself?"
"I'm afraid so. He said he hasn't seen Konoe Fumi for more than a month, but isn't that normal? Konoe Fumi is busy suppressing bandits."
"Yoshi."
"The most important thing is that it is simply impossible to capture a county town where a brigade is stationed without anyone noticing."
"That's true, but I always feel a little uneasy inside."
"If your Excellency, Commander, is not sure, then let Konoe Fumi come to Tianjin, and then we will know, right?"
"Yoshi."
…
Later, Zhou Weiguo and others, who were in a meeting, received a telegram from the Japanese military headquarters, saying that Konoe Wen was to go to the headquarters to report on his duties.
Zhou Weiguo nodded and said, "Reply to the headquarters and say yes, we will be ready to leave tomorrow."
"yes!"
"Master, do you really want to go?"
Zhou Weiguo shook his head and said, "Of course not, it's just to delay some time. We must seize Haiyang within this period of time."
"Um."
…
"Yoshi, the 11th Brigade has called back. Your Excellency, Commander, Konoe Wen replied that he will leave for Tianjin tomorrow and is expected to arrive the day after tomorrow."
"In other words, Konoe Fumi is fine at all?" Sugiyama Moto said helplessly. The Wuhan battle has ended recently, and the Japanese army should be busy digesting the results of the battle. However, some more radical people in the military department want to launch the next battle immediately.
"It's very likely that's the case. Otherwise, I wouldn't agree."
"Then what do you think the truth is?"
"Your Excellency, Commander, would like to know. Firstly, let Konoe Fumi come over, and secondly, just send someone over there."
"Yo Xi, this is a very good suggestion. After all, Konoe Fumi is the chief military officer, and there are more anti-Japanese armed forces in Laiyang than other places, so we really can't do without him. In this case, I will send someone over to take a look.
, just say that he has a special mission."
"This is also very good. Your Excellency, Commander, is wise."
…
After a while, Zhou Weiguo received another telegram, saying that he was not required to go over to report on his work.
At this time, Zhou Weiguo deeply felt the importance of the intelligence system. Otherwise, he would not have been confused by the Japanese telegram. But regardless of whether the Japanese discovered it or not, Haiyang would be captured.
Then, Zhou Weiguo asked the soldiers to reply with a telegram, saying that since there was no need to go there, he wanted to continue leading troops to wipe out the anti-Japanese armed forces.
…
"Why on earth is Konoe so obsessed with wiping out those anti-Japanese elements?" Sugiyama Gen asked.
"Hi, Commander, His Excellency Konoe Fumi's nephew was killed by a group of anti-Japanese elements in Laiyang." A lieutenant colonel replied.
"There's a lot of back there." Sugiyama Motodaiwu said, "I was really confused by that expatriate, but for peace of mind, I'd better send someone over to have a look."
