; He Shuya quickly retreated with the third regiment and the cavalry battalion.
In less than half an hour, they had withdrawn ten miles away!
The 161st Infantry Regiment of the 104th Division of the Japanese Army, with the cooperation of the 8th Tank Regiment and three light armored vehicle squadrons, quickly crossed Mao Mountain and then stopped. They did not dare to go any further.
They rashly pursued them because they couldn't determine whether there were any traps ahead.
Although the Dameishan group escaped, who knows if this is another trap?
The defeat in the Battle of Mao Shan finally calmed down Hebeian Zhengsan's heart. Hebeian Zhengsan deeply realized that the Dameishan regiment was far more cunning than he imagined. This time, Xu Rui's Dameishan group attacked.
The regiment seemed to be full of elites, but in fact it always led the attack and never let down its guard.
After realizing this, Kawabe Shozo decisively gave up the plan of raiding.
The Chinese are too cunning, so we cannot play tricks with them. It is better to be upright and upright!
Kawabe Shozo immediately made a suggestion to Nishio Juzo to mobilize two divisions plus two detachments, plus the second field heavy artillery brigade, and the eighth tank regiment to launch a second sweep of Dameishan. However, this suggestion was rejected.
When Nishio Juzo objected, because the base camp did not allow them to start a war, the base camp still insisted on surrendering.
The Japanese base camp still wanted to talk, but Dameishan didn't want to talk anymore.

Meizhen, government guest house.
Kawashima Yoshiko had just gotten up and was washing up in the bathroom. The door to the room was kicked open, and then a large group of armed guards broke in. The leader was a young officer with a Browning pistol on his waist.
Yoshiko Kawashima recognized this person as Xu Rui's personal guard, and his name seemed to be Xu Ye.
Yoshiko Kawashima was surprised when she saw Xu Ye barging in with a large group of guards.
Because Yoshiko Kawashima could feel that Xu Ye and these guards were not doing well.
"Mr. Xu Ye, what are you going to do?" Yoshiko Kawashima said calmly, "I am the guest of your group leader."
"Guest? Ha, not long ago you were indeed polite to our Dameishan Military Division." Xu Ye chuckled and said, "But not anymore." dudu1;
Yoshiko Kawashima said: "Why? Why not now?"
"Why? Your mother has the nerve to ask me?" Xu Ye smiled coldly and said, "Take it away!"
Two guards immediately rushed forward and grabbed Kawashima Yoshiko's arms. Another guard immediately came up with a rope and tied Kawashima Yoshiko without any explanation.
Within a few moments, Kawashima Yoshiko was tied into a rice dumpling, a very shameful posture.
"Presumptuous, you are too presumptuous!" Kawashima Yoshiko was angry, anxious and even more frightened. She struggled and shouted, "I am the guest of your commander Xu, you can't treat me like this. I am a member of the Imperial Japanese Army."
Negotiators, you cannot treat me like this. If you insult me, you are insulting the Imperial Army and the Empire of Japan."
"Fuck your empire, the imperial army." Xu Ye couldn't help but said, and kicked Kawashima Yoshiko hard. Kawashima Yoshiko stumbled, and hit her forehead against the door, causing a big bump in an instant.
, Kawashima Yoshiko immediately became confused, but she was really at a loss. She really didn't know what happened.
(Dividing line)
Kawashima Yoshiko didn't know what happened, but Doihara Kenji did.
Before Central China sent the Condemnation Army to start the operation, Doihara Kenji could have stopped it, but he did not stop it. The reason why he did not stop the Central China Condemnation Army's military adventure was to have more control over the subsequent surrender negotiations.
Only in this way can Xu Rui's asking price be lowered as much as possible.
Otherwise, if Xu Ruishi asks to be the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Alliance Army, will you agree or not?
Promise Xu Rui? It is obviously impossible, because this is completely inconsistent with the requirements of the empire. No matter how you look at it, Xu Rui is not a peaceful person. If the 500,000 Imperial Army troops are in his hands alone, the reform will be
The government may not fully implement the empire's intentions. In this case, what is the point of supporting this puppet government?
If he doesn't agree, given Xu Rui's arrogant character, the negotiation is likely to reach a deadlock.
It was out of such considerations that Kenji Doihara pretended to be deaf and mute and condoned the military adventure of the Central China Condemnation Army.
However, what Doihara Kenji never expected was that the military adventure of the Central China Condemnation Army failed in the blink of an eye! It can even be said that the military adventure of the Central China Condemnation Army was attacked by the Dameishan Regiment before it even started.
A head-on attack, but this time Kenji Doihara was unable to catch him.
Because this not only did not reduce the chips in Xu Rui's hands, but made Xu Rui have more chips in his hands! dudu2;
Kenji Doihara can fully imagine that Xu Rui will become even more unsatisfied in the subsequent negotiations.
Why do you think? Because he is confident, and because the Japanese army did not abide by the ceasefire agreement between the two sides and betrayed their trust!
"Baga, these are really a bunch of losers!" Kenji Doihara cursed rudely in front of Shun Nakamura, "A well-equipped permanent division has been carefully prepared for such a long time, but in one night
They were so defeated that I really can't find any other adjective to describe them."
"Hai." Nakamura Shun said with a heavy pause, "Your Excellency General, if the military adventure of sending troops to Central China succeeds, although it will inevitably anger Xu Rui, in the surrender negotiations, we can completely use the cessation of military operations as a bargaining chip.
to force Xu Rui to make greater concessions, but now, this idea has failed."
"That's more than that?" Kenji Doihara said with a groan, "Now let's think about how to calm Xu Rui's upcoming wrath!"
Before Kenji Doihara finished speaking, a signal soldier came in and reported: "Your Excellency, General, we have just received a clear call from the Dameishan Regiment. In view of the military provocation launched by the Central China Condemnation Army last night, the Dameishan Regiment has decided to suspend its contact with the imperial army.
Negotiations for surrender, and also arrested Colonel Kawashima!"
"Hai." The signal soldier nodded solemnly and said, "At least that's what the telegram said."
"Your Excellency, General!" Nakamura Shun turned to look at Doihara Kenji and said, "Now we are in trouble!"
Youdao means that the two countries are at war, and if Xu Rui still has the slightest intention to continue the negotiation, he will not be able to arrest Kawashima Yoshiko, because this is equivalent to severing diplomatic relations between countries and declaring war!
This basically means that Xu Rui does not intend to continue talking with the Japanese army, but is ready to go to war.
"Don't panic yet." Kenji Doihara waved his hand and said, "Perhaps things haven't reached the worst yet!"
"Nani?" Nakamura Shun said with some surprise, "General, Colonel Kawashima has been arrested!"
"It was just an arrest, not an execution, right?" Kenji Doihara said cheerfully, "Xu Rui just arrested Colonel Kawashima but did not order an execution. This shows that he did not intend to make things happen.
, This still shows that he still wants to continue the negotiation, so it has not reached the worst level yet."
"Sodesnay." Nakamura Jun heard this and thought about it, it seems that this is really the case.
Kenji Doihara went on to say: "The most important thing now is to immediately show our attitude to calm Xu Rui's anger as much as possible!" dudu3;
Shun Nakamura said: "What should we do?"
Kenji Doihara said: "The first thing is to call the base camp immediately and complain to the base camp about the inappropriate military adventures of the Central China dispatched troops, and ask the base camp for a reprimand! The second thing is to call the Dameishan area immediately and be sure to call the base camp.
They explained that the Doihara agency did not know about this matter in advance! There is also a third..."
After a slight pause, Kenji Doihara continued: "I will fly to Pukou immediately and prepare for a face-to-face meeting with Xu Rui. There is a very philosophical old saying in China. Crisis often means a turning point. This time the Central China sent
The failure of the Condemned Army's adventure is a crisis, but it may also mean a turning point!"
"Nana, Nani?" Jun Nakamura said in shock, "General, do you want to meet Xu Rui?"
After a short pause, Nakamura Shun added: "General, this is too dangerous. Xu Rui is a tiger. Oh no, no, he is even more ferocious than a tiger. What if he doesn't have the idea of surrendering? I mean what if?"
, If he is just making false promises, wouldn’t it be dangerous for Your Majesty the General to meet with him?”
"There is no doubt that there is danger in meeting Xu Rui." Kenji Doihara nodded, then changed the topic and said, "But there is an old saying in China, if you don't get into the tiger, how can you get the tiger's cubs?"
"If you don't enter the tiger, how can you get the tiger's cubs?" Nakamura Shun said, "What is the meaning of this statement?"
Kenji Doihara said: "That is to say, if you want to gain something, you have to take risks!"
After a pause, Kenji Doihara continued: "Nakamura-san, what you just said is actually very important. Xu Rui may not really have the intention to surrender. He is probably just giving in. If the facts are
If this is really the case, then the longer this matter is delayed, the greater the harm will be."
Nakamura Shun suddenly said: "What do you mean, General?"
"That's right." Kenji Doihara nodded and said, "I propose to have a face-to-face meeting with Xu Rui now not only to show the sincerity of our Imperial Army of Japan, the Empire of Japan, but also to test Xu Rui. Xu Rui
If he refuses to meet with me, it means he has no sincerity and is just giving in."
Nakamura Jun said: "If this is the case, we still have a chance to recover the losses. The equipment originally planned to be given to a regiment of Dameishan Regiment has not yet been sent, and the cargo ship Atlanta is still near Zhenjiang." After a pause, Nakamura Jun said.
Then he asked, "But what if Xu Rui agrees to meet?"
Kenji Doihara said: "That means Xu Rui at least has the idea to talk to us."
Nakamura Shun added: "But this is too dangerous, otherwise we should still do it with a humble job?"
"That's unnecessary, Nakamura-san. It's not that I'm looking down on you, but you really can't show the sincerity of the imperial army." Kenji Doihara waved his hand and said, "What's more, I don't know how to take any precautions.
If I don't meet Xu Rui rashly, I will make careful arrangements in Pukou to ensure my personal safety."
