Ye Qijie next to him was also frightened when he heard this. An arsenal plus a flying regiment?
But Xu Rui still didn't notice the difference in the expressions of the two people, and continued to talk to himself: "However, if the Soviets think they can get rid of me with this benefit, they would be too naive. In the end, Stalin himself will make the final decision.
, they added three more tank battalions to us, and they are the latest model T-34B tanks."
Fu Zuoyi and Ye Qi could only laugh, but it was uglier than crying.
"Hey, Chief Fu, Chief Ye, why are you smiling so ugly? Are your faces cramped?" Xu Rui seemed to have noticed the difference in the expressions of the two of them at this moment, and then said, "The two officers are not worried about my price.
Is it too high? Then you are looking down on me. What is the relationship between our two families, right? It is a life-and-death friendship."
"Hehe, hehe." Fu Zuoyi and Ye Qijie laughed dryly and did not dare to say a word.
Xu Rui said again: "Well, who makes our two families have a good relationship? Let me give you a discount. Commander Fu, you only need to give me the equipment of two divisions, plus 50 million oceans. I will do it with my heart."
The asking price is really not high. If you don’t believe it, you two officers can calculate how much it’s worth after converting the price given by the Soviets.”
"What..." Fu Zuoyi's cheeks twitched and he looked at the dark clouds in the sky and said, "The weather is good today. I went for a walk outside the city. I've been bored these days."
After saying that, Fu Zuoyi went down from the tower with a dark face and couldn't leave without leaving.
If he doesn't leave, Fu Zuoyi is worried that he won't be able to help scolding his mother, which will damage his image.
Xu Rui had already burst into laughter, but his face was still serious, and he said to Ye Qijie: "I haven't finished talking yet, why did Mr. Fu leave? But Mr. Ye, I tell you the same thing, that..."
Before Xu Rui finished speaking, Ye Qijie immediately interrupted: "Well, I suddenly remembered that there was still a mouthful of breakfast left to finish. Brother, you also know that when this person gets older, it is impossible not to eat breakfast.
Oh no, I'm so hungry. I have to go have breakfast quickly. I'm going to say goodbye. If we have anything to do, we'll talk about it later."
Before he finished speaking, Ye Qijie turned around and ran down the North Gate Tower.
Seeing Fu Zuoyi and Ye Qijie's figure disappear under the tower, Xu Rui finally burst out laughing. You kid, you actually want me to train special forces for you? You're lucky if you don't get scared to death!
But after he finished laughing, Xu Rui's expression became calm again.
After seizing the grain from Ulanqab, the Chahar Independent Regiment can get at least five million kilograms of grain. With these more than five million kilograms of grain, plus the grain supported by Yan'an and the Hetao base area, this winter will basically be
You can get through it if you go up, and to paraphrase Wang Husheng’s words, ensure that no one will die of hunger.
Now that the food problem has been solved and the funds for the construction of the industrial zone have been solved, then the construction of the industrial zone should be put back on the agenda, and the training of the Chahar Independent Regiment should also be carried out as soon as possible. As for
Xu Rui did not need to do the training of the Soviet special forces, so Leng Tiefeng naturally did it for him.
Xu Rui is in Ulanqab, but his heart has already flown back to Baotou.
…
Xu Rui only cares about Baotou, but Kojima Yizang is about to return to Japan.
Due to the obstruction by the Chabei guerrillas of the Communist Party of China, the reinforcements from the Japanese 110th Division arrived half a day later than expected. It was not until the evening of the next day that the forward troops of the 110th Division and the 110th Infantry Regiment finally arrived.
We rushed outside the east gate of Ulanqab, but by this time, all the food stored in the city had already been moved away.
In order to transport the grain, Fu Zuoyi sent 50,000 civilians from Guishui, plus 2,000 carts and wheelbarrows, and transported all the grain at once. Not only that, the Sui army, who was still unsatisfied, even demolished the granaries.
All the lumber was loaded onto the idle carts and transported away.
After the Sui army withdrew, an inventory found that the Japanese casualties were nearly a thousand.
For a cavalry group with only six to seven thousand people in total, this was a heavy casualty, but compared with the loss of 10 million jins of grain, it was nothing, because the loss of more than 10 million jins of grain was not only
It is not just a matter of supporting the enemy, but it directly affects the counterattack plan for next spring.
Without this batch of food, the troops stationed in Mongolia would be hungry.
We can't let the troops stationed in Mongolia starve to counterattack Suiyuan, right?
Therefore, this failure is very likely to cause the counterattack plan for next spring to be aborted.
As the leader of the cavalry group stationed in Mongolia, Kojima Yoshizo must be responsible for this failure.
In the previous Battle of Gohara, the performance of the cavalry group was very bad. At that time, Naosaburo Okabe had already begged Anami Yoshiki for them once. Anami Yoshiki hoped that the cavalry group could realize its shame and become brave. Not only
The officers and soldiers of the cavalry group who failed to fight effectively were not punished and were even restored to their duties.
But the performance of the cavalry group will undoubtedly disappoint Anan Weiji again.
Although there were many objective factors in actual combat, Kojima Yoshizo did not find any excuse. Instead, after the 110th Division arrived in Ulanqab, he began to prepare for seppuku and specially invited Machida Ryuji to supervise him.
Punishment, there are actually many things to pay attention to when committing seppuku, and it is not just about stabbing oneself in the abdomen with a knife.
Machida Ryuji believed that the main responsibility for this defeat did not lie with Kojima Yoshizo, so he advised: "Ojima-kun, I would like to advise you one last time, the responsibility for this defeat is not yours, so you don't have to commit seppuku for this.
Why don't you wait until Mr. Anan comes back from the meeting in Tokyo before making a decision?"
Kojima Yoshizo said: "Machida-kun, it's not like you don't know the rules of the imperial army. This defeat not only resulted in the loss of more than 10 million kilograms of military rations, but it is also likely to cause the counterattack in the spring of next year to be aborted.
Someone has to bear such serious consequences. Is there any other person besides me?"
Machida Ryuji fell silent when he heard this, because he had no way to refute.
Kojima Yoshizo slowly raised his saber, pointed the tip of the saber at his lower abdomen, and said, "Machida-kun, after I die, please take my ashes back and give them to my wife."
"Hai!" Machida Ryuuji paused.
Kojima Yoshizo smiled miserably, and was about to pierce his abdomen with all his strength, when suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside the door.
Machida Ryuuji turned around quickly and saw an old Japanese man with the rank of lieutenant general walking in with his head held high.
This old devil was none other than the division commander of the 110th Division who came to the rescue, Sangmu Chongming. After seeing the situation in the headquarters clearly, Sangmu Chongming's face changed slightly and asked: "Xiaojiao-kun, what are you doing?
?”
Then, without waiting for Kojima Yoshizo's reply, Kuangmu Takaaki added: "Before coming here, Your Excellency Commander specifically told me to stop you from committing seppuku no matter what. I originally thought that Your Excellency Commander was unnecessary, but I didn't expect you, Mr. Kojima
You really intend to commit seppuku to express gratitude to the Emperor. Is it really okay for you to blatantly disobey the Commander-in-Chief’s order?”
Kojima Jizo smiled bitterly and said: "You don't know, Sangmu-kun, that the defeat of Ulanqab is likely to cause the counterattack in the spring of next year to be aborted. This is an unforgivable mistake. Someone must be responsible for it. If I
If we commit seppuku, it will only embarrass the Commander, and this is not the result I want."
Sangmu Chongming said in surprise: "Xiaodao-kun, haven't you heard?"
"Heard?" Kojima Yoshizo said blankly, "What did you hear?"
Sangmu Chongming shook his head and said: "The empire's China strategy is about to make major adjustments. The entire Chinese battlefield will shift from offense to defense, so I'm afraid there won't be any counterattack in the spring next year." After a pause, he added, "
So, it seems that the mistake you committed, Mr. Kojima, is not that serious, right?"
"Nani?" Kojima Yoshizo said blankly, "There's no counterattack next spring?"
"I'm afraid it's gone." Sang Mu Chongming shook his head and said, "My classmate from Lu University happens to be serving in the base camp. According to him, the imperial meeting has been held and the resolution has been issued, but it has not yet been sent to our troops stationed in Mongolia.
That’s all, but I think it’s just a matter of these two days.”
"Clang." Kojima Yoshizo dropped the knife in his hand to the ground.
Sitting paralyzed on the ground, Kojima Yoshizo felt relieved.
…
Kojima Yoshizo felt relieved, but Okabe Naosaburo felt disappointed.
For this major counterattack in the spring of next year, Naosaburo Okabe prepared for a whole winter. He not only stockpiled more than 20 million kilograms of grain in Ulanqab, Datong and Zhangjiakou, but also stocked up to sustain an army of 100,000 for two months.
The required ammunition and even the battle plan have been drawn up.
Various units under the Mongolian Army are also stepping up their training.
As long as the snow melts in spring next year, the troops stationed in Mongolia can launch a counterattack!
However, at this moment, the base camp suddenly issued a telegram: The strategy towards China has been adjusted again, from the previous political inducement to surrender, with military offense as a supplement, to military defense as the main focus, with political inducement as a supplement! In addition, China
All troops on the battlefield must immediately cease all strategic attacks.
The Suiyuan counterattack was aborted before it could even begin.
At this moment, Naosaburo Okabe felt extremely uncomfortable.
As the chief of staff of the Mongolian Army, Tanaka Shinichi was in a worse mood than Naosaburo Okabe, because the entire combat plan was formulated by him and more than a dozen combat staff officers over several days and nights. The order from the base camp was directly
Their hard work for several days and nights was in vain, and it also dealt a heavy blow to his ambition.
However, no matter how unhappy he felt, Tanaka Shinichi still had to comfort his immediate boss.
Tanaka Shinichi persuaded in a low voice: "Your Excellency, Commander, it makes sense for the base camp to do this. With the current financial difficulties of the empire, it is indeed impossible to support large-scale offensives on the Chinese battlefield and the Far East battlefield at the same time. In comparison, it is true that
The battlefield in the Far East is more important, so the move by the base camp is understandable."
