After the order was given, Lieutenant General Fujino sat down on the stool.
It took a long time before he answered: "Send another telegram to the aviation force: "If the Eighth Route Army has broken through the defense line when they arrive on the battlefield, immediately find the food stolen by the Eighth Route Army near the fighting area, and conduct a raid on all suspicious targets in the fighting area.
bombing!"
"If we can't get that batch of grain, the Eighth Route Army won't even be able to get even one!"
The chief of staff felt as if his ears had misheard, and looked at Fujino in disbelief.
Fujino has always given him the feeling of being arrogant and confident, and always seems sure of victory no matter what he does. Unlike now, he has no foundation at all after the order is given, and he even has a plan for failure.
Fujino explained with a self-deprecating expression: "Do you think I am too worried about the future? I have not even thought of a way out!"
"It's not that I don't have confidence, it's just that the Eighth Route Army is too cunning!"
"Especially our opponent, the leader of the new regiment. If he directed the entire operation, he has already succeeded more than half of it by now. This means that our chances of turning defeat into victory are very slim!"
"Just wait. If we can turn defeat into victory, there will be news in half an hour at most!"
In less than half an hour, only twenty minutes, the communications staff hurried in.
Seeing the expression on the opponent's face, Fujino jumped in his heart, and two words came out of his mouth: "Lost..."
"Sir, the Shuidong Town stronghold has been lost. We lost contact with them just after receiving a farewell telegram!"
"Baga? How could it be so fast? How did they fight... Including the imperial army, the total strength exceeds 800 people, and they didn't even last for half an hour!"
The premonition in his mind turned into reality. Fujino was not as angry as he was at first. He shook his head and replied: "Chief of Staff, they fought very well!"
"More than 800 people were able to hold on for half an hour under the attack of a total of 50 or 60 artillery pieces of the Eighth Route Army, which is already very good. Even if the imperial army was guarding there, they couldn't hold it for too long!"
"If I guessed correctly, our reinforcements to Shuidong Town were also desperately blocked by the Eighth Route Army!"
"Yes, division commander!" the communications staff officer lowered his head and replied.
"All three reinforcements encountered the Eighth Route Army blocking troops. It is very difficult to quickly reinforce Shuidong Town!"
"This Wang Ping is indeed no ordinary opponent!" Fujino suddenly clenched his fists, said with a stern face and an angry expression of gritted teeth.
"Although I don't know how he intercepted these grains, weapons and ammunition. However, the methods he used to confuse us later, as well as the ongoing raid battle, are perfect! Unless we know about these plots from the beginning, once we are fooled, we will be fooled.
, then we will lose and we won’t even have a chance to turn defeat into victory!”
"Chief of Staff, send a telegram to the aviation force immediately, rush to the battlefield as soon as possible, and then bomb suspicious targets around the battlefield. You must blow up the food stolen by the Eighth Route Army!"
"Also, find out immediately: How did so many Eighth Route Army troops enter our base area without anyone noticing!"
"Find out how they robbed the food. In addition, send a telegram to Noda Zhongzuo, who is staying in the Jinsui Army, to inform us of the situation we know, and ask him to stabilize the Jinsui Army, and then tell the Jinsui Army that there is no relationship between us and them.
The deal continues, still eight million kilograms of grain in exchange for ten thousand rifles, two hundred light and heavy machine guns, and twenty mortars!"
When Lieutenant Colonel Noda returned to the World War II Area Headquarters, Commander Yan was still frowning.
"Sir Yan, the call from our division commander has arrived!"
"Unfortunately, not only did your Jinsui Army lose their weapons, but the Imperial Army's food was also lost. It was not the Imperial Army that did it, but the Eighth Route Army!"
"Eighth Route Army?" Commander Yan had an expression of disbelief on his face.
Pointing to the map in front of him, he asked Lieutenant Noda: "The Eighth Route Army base is dozens of kilometers away from our trading location, and this area is still occupied by your Japanese. You actually told me that the Eighth Route Army passed through your occupation
District, and then stole food, weapons and ammunition from us!"
"Are you treating me like a monkey? Even if you are looking for a reason, you must find a proper one, not such a random reason..."
Lieutenant Commander Noda quickly explained: "Sir, calm down, what I just said is true. Your Jinsui Army also has its own intelligence system, and it won't take long for you to know the whole story of this matter!"
"After the Eighth Route Army robbed our food, weapons and ammunition, they used tricks to confuse our Imperial Army and rushed directly to Shuidong Town, the blockade between us and the Eighth Route Army, which is here!"
Noda Nakasa pointed at a point on the map and continued to report.
"Just now, the New Regiment of the Eighth Route Army concentrated a large number of mortars and mountain artillery to attack the Imperial Army's stronghold in Shuidong Town from both front and rear, then opened a gap in the defense line and fought its way out of the Imperial Army's occupied area!"
"However, our division commander has contacted the aviation force. When the aviation force arrives on the battlefield, it will bomb the Eighth Route Army that has robbed our food!"
"In addition, our division commander asked me to tell the commander that he did not expect this to happen. It was an accident. I hope that the cooperation between the Imperial Army and you will not be affected!"
"Also, the imperial army decided to continue to use the same amount of weapons and ammunition in exchange for eight million kilograms of grain from your army!"
Commander Yan knew that for the sake of the overall situation, it was absolutely impossible for the Japs to slander him on such a trivial matter.
However, the accident that had happened made him alert!
The Eighth Route Army knew its connection with the Japs in advance before sending people to rob the grain. This meant that it cooperated with the Japs and even exchanged grains for grain and ammunition from the Japs. At least to the Eighth Route Army, it was an open secret.
.”
And it is impossible that the Eighth Route Army did not know that it was doing this to suppress them.
The first deal with the Japanese failed because of the intervention of the Eighth Route Army. If there was a second time, no one could guarantee whether the Eighth Route Army would keep it secret for themselves or directly leak the news!
As far as I'm concerned, by dancing on three eggs, I definitely don't want to offend the Japanese people too much.
However, many of the soldiers under his command had a deep hatred for the Japanese, and they wanted to tear off the little Japanese!
If they knew that he was secretly dealing with the Japs, Yan Xishan could be sure that many of his soldiers would betray him because of this.
Compared with weapons and ammunition, the loyalty of the soldiers under your command is obviously more important.
And if this matter reaches Chongqing and they get real evidence, then he will face more than just betrayal by his subordinates. By then, the position of commander-in-chief of the World War II zone may not be preserved.
Without the position of commander-in-chief, it would obviously be more difficult for him to return to Taiyuan and secure his position as the Shanxi native emperor.
After hesitating and struggling for a long time, Chief Yan finally chose to refuse.
"The transaction has been suspended for the time being. You Japanese are so uneasy. We will discuss whether to continue the transaction after we have considered it!"
Seeing the struggle on Chief Yan's face and his anger, Lieutenant Colonel Noda rationally decided to stop the negotiation and resume the negotiation after Chief Yan's anger subsided!
