Chapter 413 Fatty Liu is going to do something again!
After the whole army had been repairing for two hours, Liu Lang led the 2,000 officers and soldiers who had completed the repairs and were in high spirits. They marched for another four hours, running for nearly forty miles, and arrived thirty miles away from the position where the Eighth Division started to build a position.
It was already 7 o'clock in the evening, and the sky was completely dark.
But at this time of night, the people of Peiping were waiting for the latest issue of the People's Daily to be published again for the first time. But this time the protagonist is not the beautiful reporter Liu Xueyuan, but the reporter who has only used tofu cubes to express her still existence.
He Yi Zhi He reporter.
Reporter He used thousands of eloquent words to completely describe the exclusive interview with Liu Lang, the top officer of the Great Wall Regiment who was pursuing the Japanese invaders, and it took up an entire page.
In it, He Yizhi disclosed Liu Lang's entire view on the war situation, and even openly expressed his despair about the current corrupt war situation. What would a desperate and slightly crazy commander do?
Liu Lang borrowed reporter He's pen to tell everyone that he was a very pure soldier. Now that the war situation has been decided, failure is inevitable, but as a soldier, he will definitely fight to the end. He will lead all the officers and soldiers under his command to annihilate
The Eighth Division was like a lost dog. Wherever the Eighth Division fled, they would pursue them.
Even if they chase out of Rehe, into the three eastern provinces, and into the home base of the Kwantung Army, they will fight to the last soldier to protect the pride of our Chinese nation, and they will not destroy the Eighth Division until they are defeated, and they vow not to return to the south of the Great Wall.
As soon as this letter was published, which seemed to express the determination of Liu Lang and even the Great Wall Regiment, it caused a thunder in the city of Peiping.
While the common people were saddened by the "anti-Japanese hero"'s view that the war was lost, they also had great respect for Liu Lang's stubborn leadership of the officers and soldiers who fought to the death to safeguard the dignity of the Chinese nation. However, they hoped that they could come back alive and that the Great Wall Regiment
The emergence of the army gave the people of the north, who had been defeated repeatedly, a glimmer of hope. In the hearts of the people, it was the only army that could bring them hope of victory.
They did not want that army to die in the distant northeast.
The enthusiastic students even started a demonstration in the evening, hoping that the Military Commission would increase the number of troops on a large scale and fight the Japanese invaders, because the Great Wall Regiment and the whole of China should not surrender either.
Most of the front-line military commanders and division commanders who learned of this article were also very excited. A group of northern generals represented by Song Zheyuan even personally called General He of the Peiping Military Commission and asked the Military Commission to provide sufficient supplies and ammunition. They would do their best to fight with the troops approaching the city.
Tens of thousands of Japanese troops fought in a decisive battle.
No one among the soldiers was willing to admit defeat. Even the three divisions of the Central Army that received secret orders from the bald man to preserve their strength, all sent messages to express their wishes, hoping to increase their troops for a decisive battle, so that the people in the north could see that Liu Lang was not the only one.
He and his Great Wall Regiment were determined to kill themselves and become benevolent, and so were they.
General He, the supreme commander of the Northern Military Commission, was sitting in his office with a wry smile. Liu Lang's heroic words were quite inspiring, but they stirred up turmoil inside and outside the city of Peiping, and even put the Northern Military Commission on the fire.
.
Of course, the common people and the military commanders and division commanders on the front line would not know that the envoys sent by the Nanjing government had arrived in Peiping, and the secret talks with the Japanese only took place in the past two days. Although war will still break out in these two days, it cannot
Fight with all their strength as they thought.
If the two armies are red-eyed and use all their strength, that will be what the top leaders of the two countries are not willing to see. The Kwantung Army will never lose these nearly 40,000 troops to Pingjin, China, and will definitely continue to increase its troops.
If two or three more divisions are sent, it will definitely not be something that the current 200,000 people of China Northern Group can withstand.
But the Kwantung Army did not want to do this. They also had to guard against the Russians in the north, and at the same time consolidate their rule in the three eastern provinces, where there were active anti-Japanese elements of both young and old.
That is definitely not what the old man commanding 500,000 elite troops at the Nanchang base camp wants to see. Now is the most critical period for annihilating the rebels.
Now, in fact, the senior officials of the national army like General He already know that the war has actually been defeated. They are just waiting for the Japanese invaders to offer conditions. As long as they are not too excessive, the national government, which is focusing on internal affairs, will agree. If he obeys the public opinion and
The Japanese invaders came to fight some tough battles and expanded the war again. It was not long before he left Peiping.
All wars serve politics.
General He knows better than anyone else.
But fortunately, People's Daily should also understand some of the secrets. It only published this article exclusively in this newspaper, which caused some distress to insiders, but did not send the article to the whole country. This also left enough space for the government's propaganda department.
processing time.
In other words, this report only circulated in Peiping, but not across the country.
In fact, for Xia Wenyuan and Liu Lang, it was enough for this report to be spread only in Peiping.
Because Xia Wenyuan has always passed on information quietly through newspapers, from seemingly innocent words. Unlike some espionage personnel who still need to go through a transmitter, the security is much greater.
For example, this eloquent article with thousands of words expressing the determination and ambition of the Great Wall Regiment was delivered to the head of the second section of the Kwantung Army Staff Department and Zhiying Er, but it was a description of Liu Lang's true strategic deployment of the Great Wall Regiment.
The Kwantung Army headquarters was shocked after receiving the "intelligence".
Liu Lang, this bastard, is going to cause trouble again!
Xia Wenyun made it very clear that Liu Lang had held a secret military meeting. Both the army's war preparations and the conversations between several middle-level officers had already explained Liu Lang's strategic intentions.
As mentioned in the article, Liu Lang really found that defeat was inevitable, but because there were tens of thousands of enemy troops on the back road, he could no longer go back to the south of the Great Wall. If he wanted to go back to the south, he could only go west and enter
The grassland detoured to Duolun, but Liu Lang, who was somewhat paranoid, believed that the Great Wall Regiment, which lacked baggage, could not sustain a long-distance transfer of thousands of miles, and might even be annihilated by the ensuing enemy troops during the transfer.
So, he made a crazy decision to attack the 8th Division crazily. Only by completely crippling this opponent who could bite them back, could they go all the way north into the hinterland of the three eastern provinces. Then, with the dense forests of the three eastern provinces,
They used the mountains as cover to conduct guerrilla operations in the three eastern provinces.
Liu Lang believes that this is the only way for the Great Wall Regiment to survive.
How could this happen? Muto Nobuyoshi's head swelled when he thought that Liu Lang, an unlucky man, would take nearly two thousand elite veterans who had spent their remaining years in battles to stir up trouble in Dongsan Province, which had not yet been completely settled.
The people of the three provinces in Northeast China are fierce, and they will go to the mountains to be beards if they disagree with each other. There are endless incidents of sneak attacks on the Japanese army. Even the most brutal suppression methods cannot suppress the fires that are spreading everywhere. The reason why Muto Nobuyoshi still keeps three divisions
It is also because of this that we are stationed in the three northeastern provinces.
But if Liu Lang brings another 2,000 elites with a combat power comparable to a brigade or even a division to the three northeastern provinces to cause trouble, and if he relies on the huge reputation of defeating the 8th Division in one battle to raise the King's Flag on the mountaintop,
Beards from all walks of life swarmed in. In that situation, Muto Nobuyoshi not only had a big head, but his balls were also a little painful and swollen.
