For Umezu Yoshijiro, he was really unhappy that he failed to complete the plan and achieve the goal in the first time. Although the exercise of the independent division ended and the final result was the victory of the red side, this news was not that big.
usefulness.
As for those he wanted to attack, they all returned safely under the protection of independent division fighter planes.
This made him very unhappy.
But he always felt that this exercise was still concealing something.
So he asked Yoshimoto Teiichi to continue to keep an eye on the independent division to obtain useful information. Otherwise, he might not know it when the independent division finished plotting against him.
As soon as Yoshimoto Sadai left, only Umezu Yoshijiro remained in the office.
As the commander of a place, he naturally knew the situation on the Pacific battlefield. Unexpectedly, the navy failed again, which gave him a very bad premonition.
He has always been the kind of person who does things quietly, otherwise he would not have controlled Japan's most elite Kwantung Army for so many years and stayed here.
It can be said that there have been several confrontations with the independent division.
But never did the result turn out as he wished.
This is actually quite unusual.
Because the independent division's combat effectiveness, as well as weapons and equipment, are very different from other Chinese forces.
So much so that one has to doubt it.
Sudden weapons and equipment, sudden aircraft, and sudden battleships!
It’s not like he didn’t pay attention!
It’s not like there’s no investigation!
But everything seemed to appear out of thin air! As for Zhou Weiguo’s explanation, he bought it from abroad!
Of course, Umezu Yoshijiro also believed that this must have been bought from abroad, but did the independent division really have so much money? Moreover, the weapons and equipment shipped from Europe and the United States to China were done so secretly without leaving any clues?
This is the real reason why Umezu Yoshijiro pays attention to the independent division! As for the North China side, which has been defeated by the Independent Division before, he feels that it has always been the North China side's own problem.
However, weapons and equipment cannot be created out of thin air. This is what Umezu Yoshijiro has always believed, so he is more willing to believe that Zhou Weiguo still has a very secret force in his hands.
However, it has never been investigated.
Now, he actually has quite a lot of information about the independent division, including the names of all the generals in the independent division, various combat units, etc.
But the more you clean it up, the more incredible it becomes.
One person, on his own, accomplished this in a few years.
At the same time, the lives of the people within the jurisdiction of the Independent Division are much better than those at home.
This is also the reason why he pays more attention to the independent division.
In his view, it was impossible to attack China, but the three eastern provinces, which they had managed for so long, were already their own territory. The worst was to happen, and all the troops would retreat to Manchukuo.
By then, the fertile land in the three provinces will be enough for them to recuperate.
But all this was his worst-case scenario.
Now that the Japanese army has occupied so much territory in China, it is indeed impossible to give up casually. Takeshita Jun's mission can also be said to have given them another option.
If they can really succeed, then they can indeed use their existing troops to support other places.
In this way, both the United States and the United Kingdom will probably lose.
However, China has not agreed yet.
It's just that such bait has been thrown out, and in any case, some people have been tempted.
This is obvious.
However, if these people are tempted, then someone will always have to stand up and bear the responsibility for these so-called betrayal of the country. Before these are discussed, no one will agree to Jun Takeshita's proposal for the time being.
Umezu Yoshijiro also knows this very well.
However, of course he also hopes that the Nationalist Government can agree early. If they really can't agree, Japan will really be hindered from taking action.
Umezu Meijiro felt that he had to do something.
But, what to do?
He didn't know that nowadays, the Kwantung Army, in response to the request of the base camp, has almost done its best to mine various mines and store various materials, and it is only three feet short of scraping the ground.
At the same time, you must show weakness, but you must not show weakness.
It left Umezu Meijiro in a mess.
…
When Zhou Weiguo arrived at the old forest area of Heili River, it was already six or seven days later. Most of the soldiers who were working with him had arrived, but two soldiers still seemed to be lost.
"Master, this forest area is very large and inaccessible. It is best used for hiding."
"Yes." Zhou Weiguo nodded, "Always pay attention to the other two people. If there is any news, notify me immediately and I will go out to investigate the news."
"yes!"
After Zhou Weiguo left a pile of supplies, he left alone again.
Check the news, it's true.
…
Somewhere, the headquarters of the Black Dragon Society.
"President!" A man wearing a black kimono bowed to another man.
"Still not found?" The middle-aged man squinted his eyes, "You killed people from our Black Dragon Society, but you still can't find them? What's the reason?"
"Hey! He must be hiding!"
"Hiding? Such a person is definitely not a subject of the empire! In other words, he is Chinese! But he once said that even in Japan, no one dares to mess with him! Then, his name must be
Well-known by the people!" The middle-aged man analyzed it and said, "With such good skills and young age, he will definitely not be an unknown person!"
"Hi!"
"By the way, what happened to the two people we caught earlier? Did you give an account?"
"Not yet! However, the guns they carry seem to be the standard pistols of the Independent Division."
"Independent division?"
"Hi!"
"You mean, someone from the Independent Division has sneaked into Manchukuo with evil intentions?" the middle-aged man said coldly, but there was still a little more excitement in his tone, "Is that what you mean?"
"Hi! That's what I guessed!"
"Yoshi! Order everyone to pay attention to whether there are spies from the Independent Division recently!"
"Hi!"
…
In the three eastern provinces, people from the Black Dragon Society are also found everywhere.
The two soldiers who had not rushed to meet Zhou Weiguo and the others were traveling in a team.
Like Zhou Weiguo, he saw the Japanese bullying the Chinese people, and after taking action, he attracted the Black Dragon Society's revenge, and was accidentally caught. Although the two never confessed, the weapons betrayed them.
As a result, the situation in the three eastern provinces suddenly became tense.
Ye Fengchen is a little helpless. It seems that the Japanese have been very strict recently! He is the second batch of people to set off!
But after crossing the border, we found the Japanese sentry posts of various sizes, and the inspection was very strict.
Helpless, the group of people he brought could only continue walking into the deep mountains and forests.
But in this way, not only will it take a lot of time, but it will also greatly compromise safety.
