Chapter 1924: Recover Rehe! (Sixteen)
"Is this really the case?" Chen Cixiu was extremely surprised. The Japanese would not be so stupid and arrogant to admit it in public, right?
"I can prove this, and it is true. Everyone present heard it, including the foreign military observation representative. Although it was not spoken by Tojo in person, it was also from his subordinates. He was also present at that time and did not deny it. Therefore, we think this is no different from his own recognition!" Yu Hanmou said.
"Are the Japanese crazy?" Chen Cixiu felt incredible. No normal people would do this, right?
"They are not crazy, but they were driven crazy by Lu Houde!" Bai Jiansheng said.
"What's going on?" Chen Cixiu asked in confusion.
"This starts with this exercise. Brother Cixiu also knows what the real purpose behind this exercise is. The Japanese fleet is rushing around our Yangtze River. You should have a deeper feeling than us, right?"
Chen Cixiu nodded silently.
After listening to Bai Jiansheng's explanation and Yu Hanmou's addition, Chen Cixiu finally figured out some of the twists and turns in it.
"So, Dong Kang is the first to provoke him. How can this exercise rob people of food and supplies?"
"Brother Cixiu, when did this Rehe become someone else's?" Bai Jiansheng asked back.
"Sorry, silence, sorry, but this exercise is just a drill. Why do you have to make trouble? Isn't it because you're not doing anything?"
"Who can guarantee that there will be a shortage of food and food in the battle? I believe that Brother Cixiu has encountered it. What should I do? This will test the ability of a commander of a unit and fight against Japan. Dong Kang has never stopped. They have a tacit understanding with each other. Moreover, Nanjing has not signed any agreement with Japan, and there is nothing wrong with Dong Kang doing this!" Bai Jiansheng said.
"But didn't he deliberately provoke a dispute, at this time?"
"In fact, the friction between the Eastern Anti-Japanese War and the Kwantung Army has never stopped. It is a very small matter to plunder some food and food. Both sides have controlled the scale of the conflict, but this time the Japanese army is out of place!"
"Why is it out of line?"
"They deliberately exercised this time and conspired to provoke friction and fight between the Eastern Anti-Japanese War and the Forty-First Army!"
"The two sides are hostile, so it's normal for the Japanese to do this?"
"It's normal for Dong to fight back against anger?"
"This is a paradox. Brother Jiansheng, this battle cannot be fought. This will destroy the plan of Chairman Chiang's long-term resistance to foreign countries!" Chen Cixiu said excitedly.
"It is important to suppress bandits, but we must not be careful of the ambitions of the Japanese. The Japanese's appetite is getting bigger and bigger. Not only does it occupy the three northeastern provinces, but it also occupy the Rehe River. The next step is Inner Mongolia and North China. If you don't resist, then most of China may fall into the hands of the Japanese!"
"Brother Jiansheng is so serious. Although Japan is strong, its territory is small and its people are small. They just want to get some benefits. If they get the benefits, they will naturally stop!" Chen Cixiu said, "Can he eat such a huge China?"
"I'm afraid I'm not satisfied with my desires!"
"At least if the war starts now, we have little hope of winning!"
"The question is, does Japan have the ability to fight with our country now?" Bai Jiansheng said, "From their rush to sign a ceasefire agreement with us, they want to have a truce more than us, so that they can digest the previous results."
"What if it isn't?"
"Brother Cixiu, although Japan is strong, it has not reached the point of madness. At present, their domestic economic strength and military strength cannot support the decisive battle with us. Moreover, if a war begins, Europe and the United States will inevitably impose sanctions on it. At that time, how long can a small country with scarce resources last? Three months, half a year, or more?"
"How can you be sure they won't bet at all?"
"If you are not sure about five or six points, will you launch a full-scale attack on the bandit area?" Bai Jiansheng said, "If you are not prepared for food, ammunition, and various materials, will you start a rash war?"
"No!" Chen Cixiu said.
"You can't even know, are the Japanese fools? They don't know much more. Their current ammunition and weapon supplies are basically transported from sea from home. If a full-scale war is really to be launched, the consumption will be amazing. With the current national strength of Japan, as long as the war takes place on land, we still have the power to fight!" Bai Jiansheng said.
"Okay, I admit that what you said makes sense, and you deserve the reputation of Zhuge. However, Lu Houde did this and then reported. Is there any rule?" Chen Cixiu said.
"Brother Cixiu praised me. I am just a guest here. I can't interfere with what the host does, right?" Bai Jiansheng smiled, "But I really appreciate him. He is decisive in killing and is a character!"
Chen Cixiu was stunned. Don’t let Bai Jiansheng and Lu Houde get together. Although the south and north are thousands of miles apart, if they are connected together, it will be a considerable pressure for Chairman Jiang.
After the Central Plains War, although Chiang Kai-shek finally won, it was also the result of compromise between all parties.
The Guangxi branch is a major concern for Chiang Kai-shek.
Of course, as long as it does not belong to the ZY direct lineage, all local warlord forces that can become climate are the objects that Chiang Kai-shek wants to eradicate.
"Brother Jiansheng, say goodbye!"
"Brother Cixiu, don't sit for a while, it's okay anyway?" Bai Jiansheng smiled and tried to stay. The relationship between the Guizhou clan and ZY is also very tense now, and it can be said that they are guarding against each other. However, Chen Cixiu adheres to the meaning of Chiang Kai-shek, so he wonders if he can explore his tone.
"No, I'm a little tired and want to go back and take a rest!" Chen Cixiu said.
"Then I won't give it to you!" Bai Jiansheng stood up and said.
At this time, Bai Jiansheng's adjutant walked in with a happy look on his face: "Sir, I just got the news..."
Suddenly seeing Chen Cixiu present, the adjutant subconsciously closed his mouth.
"It's okay, Chief Chen is not an outsider. Just say anything!" Bai Jiansheng said.
"Sir, I just got the news that Dong Kang dispatched a brigade of troops to capture Longqing County!" The adjutant said a little excitedly.
"Have you captured Longqing County so quickly?" Everyone in the room was shocked.
"Yes, the 106th Brigade of the 36th Eastern Anti-Japanese Division has entered the city. It is cleaning up the remnants of the Japanese and puppets!" said the deputy.
"As far as I know, there is a large group of Japanese troops stationed in Longqing City. There is also a squadron of cavalry and at least one regiment of the puppet Manchukuo king. The total force is two or three thousand. Japan's combat power is very strong. Why was it captured so quickly?" Chen Cixiu said in a daze.
"This is the battle report they sent back. I am not very clear about the specific situation. However, the news from the Northeast Sui Office will move to Longhua County to work tomorrow morning!"
"This is not fake news, it seems that it has been really conquered!" Yu Hanmou exclaimed.
"Let's go to their command center to see. Since you have given a title of consultant, you have to take care of it?" Bai Jiansheng suggested.
"good!"
Changchun, Kwantung Army Headquarters.
"What, the signs of a large number of anti-Japanese guerrilla activities in western Liaoning?" Colonel Uehara was very angry. "This kind of information was also reported. Are the people below who are full and have nothing to do?"
"Your Excellency Colonel, please calm down. Now there are all kinds of plants and trees below. If there is any movement, you will naturally become nervous. This is normal for the anti-Japanese guerrillas to be active. After all, they have calmed down for a while and they have recovered some energy. Naturally, they have to come out to move and let the people below pay more attention!" Gan Bozhongzuo hurriedly comforted.
"Well. You can deal with these news. Bad news came from Rehe. The Chinese army launched a fierce attack on our Longhua defenders. The situation is unknown now!" said Colonel Uehara, "Your Highness the Chief of Staff called me over and scolded me fiercely, asking us how our intelligence department worked, why did the Chinese army launch an attack, and we did not receive any news at all?"
"When did the Chinese army attack Longqing?"
"Just this afternoon, the headquarters received a telegram from the 14th Brigade of Rehe. The Longhua defenders were attacked by the Chinese army, which was obviously a long-planned attack!" said Colonel Uehara.
"I didn't say why, did I suddenly start fighting?"
"The telegram did not say it, and the details will be found until the other side can report it!" said Colonel Uehara.
"Sir, Chief of Staff, orders to convene an emergency meeting of the heads of each class. You will arrive at the conference room in five minutes, and there must be no mistakes!"
"Understood!"
"There must be something big. Please help me deal with these messy things. I'll go to the meeting!" Colonel Uehara reiterated in front of a bunch of documents, Wang Gansu Masahiko.
"Hay, Lord Colonel!"
"The latest news is that a Chinese armed force, with a population of about 1,000 people, suddenly appeared near Dahu Mountain. Their target is probably Dahu Mountain. Now, after Dahu Mountain, our Kwantung Army has a railway garrison squadron and a small number of policemen and township soldiers, with a total force of less than 400!"
"What is the identity of these Chinese armed forces?"
"It is not certain yet, but according to speculation, this armed force is likely to be active in time in the bandit Lao Beifeng in southern Liaoning!"
"Hasn't the old Beifeng been destroyed by us?"
"Old Beifeng was almost wiped out by us, but he himself was not found by us. Moreover, he has always received support from the Chinese army in Guannei, and his strength has recovered quickly, so he moved in the Panshan area."
"From Longhua attacked by the Chinese army, and to discovering bandit troops suspected of Lao Beifeng around Dahu Mountain, these are obviously not two isolated acts. In fact, our intelligence personnel have already grasped some secret connections between Lao Beifeng and the Chinese army in the east resistance!" Koi Iso Kurosaki said with a gloomy face, "So, we have reason to believe that the Chinese army is likely to be brewing a large action plan in Jinxi or Rehe!"
"Did the Chinese still occupy Rehe again?"
"Ha ha……"
"Don't laugh, it's impossible. The Chinese army attacked at this time, which is quite deadly for us. We don't have many troops in Rehe, only two mixed brigades. We have to cope with the pressure of the Chinese army within the pass and fight against the Chinese army in the east. In this way, our troops will not be enough!"
"Are there still the Eighth Division and the Sixth Division that can quickly move westward to support the Rehe side?"
