"Xu Rui and his Wolf Fang Brigade are indeed a difficult opponent." Yukio Tachihara nodded in agreement, and then asked, "Your Excellency, Commander, didn't the base camp say that Miss Inoue will soon lead
The special operations team came to Peiping, but so many days have passed, why haven’t they come yet?”
"Who knows what's going on?" Anan Wei smiled bitterly and shook his head.
But in fact, Anan Weiji knew the reason for this.
A week ago, Anami Yuki had submitted a report requesting Chiyoko Inoue and the special operations brigade she led to come to Peiping to the base camp. Army Chief of Staff Kanin Miyazahito and Army Minister Juichi Terauchi also approved it.
However, just when Chiyoko Inoue was about to leave, she encountered an unexpected bond.
Because Emperor Hirohito was frightened when he was assassinated in the Imperial Palace Square, his mental state became very bad. He would often be suddenly awakened by nightmares in the middle of the night. As a result, in just half a month, he became extremely thin.
Empress Dowager Zhenmei was so anxious that she immediately invited famous doctors from all over the country to diagnose and treat Hirohito.
However, I consulted dozens of famous Western doctors in Japan, but nothing improved.
Finally, an old Chinese medicine practitioner was invited from a Chinese medicine clinic to propose a treatment plan.
This plan is actually very simple. Let Chiyoko Inoue stay in front of Hirohito's royal couch. Whenever Hirohito wakes up from a nightmare, Chiyoko Inoue will comfort him, just like coaxing a child, and coax Hirohito to sleep again. The result is really
He cured Hirohito's night terrors, but it also made Hirohito dependent on Chiyoko Inoue.
Therefore, Chiyoko Inoue's trip to Peking was ultimately rejected by Empress Dowager Sadamei.
However, these royal family secrets cannot be made public, and it is certainly impossible for Anami Yuki to tell Tachihara Yukio more.
After a pause, Anan Weiji added: "Whether Miss Inoue and her special operations brigade can come to Peking or when they can come is not something we can decide. The only thing we can decide now is to be as vigilant as possible and at the same time strengthen
Be on guard against any sneak attack by Xu Rui and his Wolf Fang Brigade."
"Hai." Yukio Tatehara nodded.
…
At Wuyuan Baichuan Fort, the North Route Army Headquarters in the World War II Zone.
Fu Zuoyi stayed up all night again, staring at blood-red eyes and pacing in the yard with his hands behind his back.
In fact, Fu Zuoyi was already very tired, and he felt sleepy several times. But as soon as he lay down on the bed, he immediately felt sleepy again. There was nothing he could do, he had something on his mind that he couldn't let go of! What was on his mind? Of course it was Gui Suizhi.
Fu Zuoyi really couldn't sleep until there was no news from Guisui about the outcome of the battle.
In comparison, Ye Qijie, as the deputy commander of the army, was under much less pressure.
Just before dawn, Ye Qijie went to the lounge next to the war room and took a nap. When he got up again, he immediately seemed much more energetic. Seeing Fu Zuoyi pacing in the yard with his arms folded, Ye Qijie immediately left the war room.
He came out and said with concern: "Mr. Boss, go and take a nap for a while. I'll keep an eye on you."
"No need." Fu Zuoyi waved his hand and said, "I can't sleep at all."
"Are you worried about the battle situation in Guisui?" Ye Qijie said, raising his wrist and looking at his watch, and said, "Calculating the time, Wei Jingyun's attack group should have arrived in Guisui by now, right?"
Although the order given to Wei Jingyun by the 35th Army Headquarters is to arrive at Guisui before dawn, in fact, as a first-level commander, it is impossible not to leave a corresponding margin when formulating a combat plan, so as long as Wei Jingyun
If Jingyun's troops can reach Guisui before ten o'clock in the morning, it is a victory.
Because the Eighth Route Army has made it clear that it is absolutely impossible for the Japanese reinforcements from Zhangjiakou and Datong to reach Guisui before this evening, so as long as Wei Jingyun's attack group can arrive before noon, there will be enough time.
The battle of Guisui will be won for sure.
The two were talking about returning to Sui when a communications staff officer came over in a hurry.
Ye Qijie immediately said: "Chief, the telegram must be from Wei Jingyun!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the communications staff officer walked up to the two of them and said excitedly: "The general seat and the deputy military seat have just received an urgent telegram from Guisui, the deputy commander of the guard regiment, saying that the Guisui garrison has been captured by our army.
Total annihilation, Guisui, the capital of Suiyuan Province, has been recovered by our 35th Army!"
Although Fu Zuoyi and Ye Qijie were mentally prepared, they couldn't help but froze after hearing this.
God, this is Guisui, the capital of Suiyuan Province. Its economic status may not be as good as Baotou, but its political status is completely different! The political significance of regaining Baotou and regaining Guisui are completely different.
There is a world of difference between the encouragement to the Chinese military and civilians and the blow to the Japanese!
After a long while, Fu Zuoyi asked again: "Counsel Wang, what did you just say?"
The communications staff officer surnamed Wang took a breath and solemnly said: "The chief, Guisui, has been recovered!"
"Recovered? Has Guisui recovered? Okay, okay..." Fu Zuoyi nodded, and then suddenly stumbled and almost fell down. Fortunately, Ye Qijie and Counselor Wang reacted quickly enough and rushed to help him.
Ye Qijie turned around and was about to call the military doctor over, but Fu Zuoyi stopped him.
"Brother Xinwu, I'm fine." Fu Zuoyi stopped Ye Qijie and said, "I'm just a little tired."
To elaborate, since the Battle of Wuyuan broke out more than half a month ago, Fu Zuoyi has never had a proper sleep. He only took time to take a nap. And since the counterattack began, he has been sleeping for three days and three nights in a row.
Without closing his eyes, he had already reached the end of his strength. Before, he was struggling to hold on because of worry.
Now that Guisui has recovered, his worries have settled, and sleepiness immediately arises.
"Brother Xin, I'm tired. I have to take a nap. Don't let anyone disturb me before it gets dark today." As soon as Fu Zuoyi finished speaking, he fell into the arms of Counselor Wang and fell into a deep sleep. Within a moment, he sounded like thunder.
Ye Qijie sighed softly as he snored, and waved his hand to signal Staff Wang to help Fu Zuoyi to the rest room.
Fu Zuoyi had a really solid sleep and slept until dark.
It wasn't until the sky turned dark that Fu Zuoyi finally sat up from the bed and stretched out.
Ye Qijie heard the commotion outside and immediately opened the door and came in. He asked with a smile: "Maintendent, are you awake?"
"Well, I woke up. I had a really solid sleep this time. In my mind, I haven't had such a solid sleep for a long time." Fu Zuoyi said, put on his boots, stood up, and then opened the door and walked in.
After making a casual sweep of the war room, he didn't see Xu Rui, so he immediately asked, "Brother Xin, why isn't Brother Xu here?"
"That man." Ye Qijie laughed and said, "I sleep more soundly than you, and I can't wake up even if I scream."
"Then don't scream and let him continue to sleep, haha." Fu Zuoyi stretched again and asked, "By the way, have the final results of the battles in Guisui, Baotou and Wuyuan been calculated?"
Strictly speaking, the Baotou Counterattack and the Guisui Counterattack were just a continuation of the Wuyuan Battle, so they still fell into the category of the Wuyuan Battle. Moreover, when Baotou and Guisui were fighting fiercely, Wuyuan's pursuit of the Japanese troops stationed in Mongolia was
It's still not over, but now it has come to an end and the results have been reported.
"The statistics have been calculated." Ye Qijie nodded and replied, "In this battle of Wuyuan, including Baotou and Guisui, a total of more than 25,600 Japanese soldiers were annihilated. The total number of Japanese soldiers stationed in Mongolia who participated in the Wuyuan battlefield was annihilated.
The main force of the army, including the 26th Division, the independent mixed second brigade and the cavalry group stationed in Mongolia, were basically wiped out."
"Really?" Fu Zuoyi's face suddenly glowed red and he said excitedly, "Annihilated so many?"
Ye Qijie hummed softly, and then continued: "There are also seizures. In this battle, a total of more than 10,000 mounted rifles, more than 200 light and heavy machine guns of various types, more than 300 grenades, as well as field artillery, mountain artillery and
There are more than 80 mortars in total, and countless other ordnance and supplies. Let’s send the main unit!"
"What happened?" Fu Zuoyi joked, "He looks like a profiteer."
But before he finished speaking, Fu Zuoyi burst into laughter.
Ye Qijie and the senior staff in the war room also started laughing.
"Ah, that's right." Fu Zuoyi exclaimed, and suddenly asked, "I forgot to ask just now, have the Japanese reinforcements from Datong and Zhangjiakou arrived in Guisui? At the moment, Wei Jingyun's troops are the only ones in Guisui City.
The remaining people, even if we include the Chahar Independent Regiment, there are only 2,000 people, and they may not be able to withstand it."
"That's right." Ye Qijie said with a smile, "Datong, the Japs in Zhangjiakou have already retreated."
"Retracted?" Fu Zuoyi slapped his forehead and laughed at himself, "Look at me, I'm all sleepy. Guisui has been lost. What's the point of Datong and Zhangjiakou's Japanese going to Guisui?" He paused for a moment.
, and then said, "Brother Xinwu, do you think we have truly won this battle?"
"Of course." Ye Qijie said without any doubt, "We won."
Fu Zuoyi asked again: "Half of the entire Suiyuan Province has been recovered?"
"Chief Commander, I just wanted to tell you this." Ye Qijie laughed and said, "I heard that our 35th Army won the battle in Wuyuan and regained Baotou and Guisui. In front of Urad
Banner, Urad Middle Banner, Tumed Left Banner, Tumed Right Banner, etc., all sent people one after another to express their return to the party state."
"Is there anything else?" Fu Zuoyi waved his hand and said boldly, "Tell them, as long as they return to the party-state and obey the orders of the central government, even if they have done things that have failed the party-state before, I, Fu Zuoyi, will not embarrass them.
, as the saying goes, if you know your mistakes, you can correct them, and there is no greater good. Brother Xin, don’t you think so?"
"What the chief said is absolutely true." Ye Qijie nodded and continued, "So, except for the Ulanqab League, the entire Suiyuan Province has basically been recovered!"
Fu Zuoyi immediately slapped his thigh and said to Ye Qijie: "Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and report the victory to Chongqing, so that Chairman Chiang and the senior officials of the General Headquarters, as well as the people across the country, will be happy! Hurry!"
"Yes!" Ye Qijie responded loudly, "I will draft a telegram to Chongqing right now."
