After hearing Heisen's words, everyone suddenly became enlightened.
In fact, they only need to build a good line of defense. There is no rule that this line of defense must be the original line of defense!
Since the original line of defense cannot be brought back, and it is still not taken back after such a huge sacrifice, then it is better not to get it back. Isn’t it better to start a new one? Isn’t it better to build another line of defense on top of this line of defense?
As for what the independent divisions want, give it to them!
If you want to attack other areas from the defense line of Area A, you have to ask the soldiers on their side if they agree.
"What gift is it?"
Heisen shook his head and said, "For the time being, I won't say anything to prevent the secret from being leaked."
"Yes."
"Okay, I will report this matter to the Commander immediately and ask for his approval. Then we will immediately start building a defense line and everyone will take action!"
"Um."
…
When Umezu Yoshijiro received the telegram, he was stunned. He did not expect that this guy named Kuromori would start a new business.
But what the telegram said was right. Since you can't get it back, why insist on fighting to the death! They then built a defense line to seal that side, and the effect was the same!
"Your Excellency, Commander!" Yoshimoto Sadashi said, "I think this strategy is very good."
Umezu Yoshijiro nodded, "Yes, I agree too. In this case, let them keep the new line of defense!"
"Hi!"
"Yoshimoto-kun, tell me, who can hold on longer between us and the independent division?"
Yoshimoto Teiichi was silent. During wartime, the consumption of military supplies was almost several times higher than in normal times. If this war does not end as soon as possible, their inventory will soon be unsustainable. However, as the chief of staff, he
Although I have an obligation to remind the commander, I also have an obligation to work hard to collect military supplies.
"I don't know, but if we don't persist, we will lose." Yoshimoto Teiichi said in a serious tone.
Umezu Yoshijiro nodded, "It is indeed as Yoshimoto-kun said, regarding military supplies, Yoshimoto-kun, I leave it to you!"
"Hi! Commander, please rest assured!"
"Um."
Yoshimoto Teiichi's method is nothing more than to find overseas Chinese businessmen and Manchu veterans to contribute. After all, the independent division is now attacking Chengde! Where is Chengde, the gateway to the three eastern provinces!
Once the independent divisions break in, everything they have now will cease to exist, and they cannot be tolerated without contributing.
After walking out of the office, Yoshimoto Seiichi first sent the telegram, and then said to his subordinates, "Go and help me make an appointment with Prime Minister Zhang Jinghui, and tell him that I have something to do with him."
"Hi!"
Zhang Jinghui, the current Prime Minister of the Puppet Manchukuo, was born in a peasant family, but he was good at making friends and often visited gambling venues. At that time, local tycoons took advantage of the opportunity and he also formed a self-defense group. Later, he became friends with Zhang Zuolin and became Zhang Zuolin's friend.
Deputy. During the "September 18th" Incident, he openly surrendered to the enemy. He successively served as Speaker of the Puppet Senate and Governor of the Eastern Province Special Administrative Region, Director-General of the Ministry of Military Affairs, and Prime Minister of Manchuria.
Even the Japanese military ministers said in a telegram to the emperor that (Zhang Jinghui) has a certain reputation in Manchuria, but he has no knowledge and no great ambitions. His subordinates are all sycophants and have no talent at all. I am waiting for you.
The empire's consistent policy of achieving its goals quickly will make it possible for such people to take advantage of it.
He obeyed the Japanese and never resisted. To put it bluntly, he had no talent, but he was an obedient subordinate.
Now, Yoshimoto Sadashi's appointment with Zhang Jinghui was naturally about military supplies. There was a war on the front line, and military supplies were needed quickly. What's more, they were fighting an independent division, which would consume even more.
You know, independent divisions are not easy to fight.
After a while, a gentle man with some white hair was led into the office.
"Prime Minister Zhang?" Yoshimoto Sadashi smiled, "How are you doing lately?"
"Everything is fine. Please excuse me, Chief of Staff." The man smiled and said in a gentle tone, "I wonder why the Chief of Staff called me here today."
"Premier Zhang, in Chengde, our Kwantung Army warriors are fighting with soldiers of the Independent Division. You should know about this, right?" Yoshimoto Sadashi said with a smile.
"Yeah, I know." Zhang Jinghui nodded, "Did you encounter any difficulties?"
"You know, the Empire is currently at war with the US military in the Pacific and with the Independent Division. The front line has been opened up, which is a little too much. However, the Imperial warriors will naturally have no problem." Yoshimoto Tadashi tapped the table with his finger, "
However, in terms of military supplies, I hope that Premier Zhang can contribute more. Once the battle with the independent division is defeated, Manchukuo will be in danger. I think Premier Zhang also doesn’t want the Manchukuo Congress to be in danger?"
Zhang Jinghui narrowed his eyes at first, then smiled gently and harmlessly, and nodded, "Of course, I will try my best to gather supplies. I wonder if the Chief of Staff has a time limit?"
"The sooner the better."
"yes."
Then there was silence.
Zhang Jinghui said, "If the Chief of Staff has nothing else to do, I will go and prepare first."
"Go ahead and leave it to Mr. Zhang."
"Um."
Seeing Zhang Jinghui leaving, Yoshimoto Sadashi had no reaction at all. He thought for a moment, relying solely on Zhang Jinghui to raise military supplies might not be enough. He would still have to ask overseas Chinese businessmen for help. In Manchukuo, overseas Chinese businessmen are indispensable.
Help.
"Come here, help me find President Liu Ben."
"Hi!"
…
For military needs, Yoshimoto Teiichi also put in a lot of effort. Whether it is the Chinese businessmen under him or the Japanese overseas businessmen under him, they are all his targets. The strength of the independent division cannot be underestimated. He will not do anything.
contempt.
Especially, after sacrificing almost two divisions.
…
Sun Fugui looked at the gloomy sky and frowned. In the battle last night, they suffered little losses, but the Japanese only fought for a while and then retreated, which puzzled him.
"Old Tang, what do you think the Japanese are playing?"
Tangshan shook his head, "I don't know, but the Japanese are playing tricks every day or two. I really think the Japanese are playing tricks."
"Humph, I look at the sky. The rain should stop soon!" Sun Fugui squinted his eyes and smiled, "I think the day of the general attack is not far away."
"Yes, we are all waiting." Tangshan also curled up his lips. Without anger, it is impossible, but precisely because of anger, they will desperately try to take down the Japanese defense line!
Taking Chengde will be their first step in preparing to take back their lost ground!
…
"Quick, quick, quick! Be careful!" On the Japanese army's position, Japanese soldiers were constantly building new lines of defense. There were many people and great strength, and it only took one night, but they were already in full swing.
"Hi!"
"Hemori-kun, are you ready for the big gift you want to give to the independent division?"
"Well, we're ready. We're just waiting for the people from the independent division to rush in." Hessen curled up his lips, "I don't know when the rain will stop! I can't wait any longer!"
