Chapter 251: Seishiro Itagaki!

Qin Shiyu and Liu Yushu were only left in the command center.

"Old Qin, this is the first time we have fought head-on with the Japanese. After this battle, it will be clear whether it is a dragon or an insect!" Liu Yushu said.

"To be honest, I have no idea, but even if we don't fight this battle now, we will encounter Japanese soldiers in the future. After more than three months of training, it's time to test our true combat effectiveness in actual combat!" Qin Shiyu said staring at the map.

"Old Lu means, do we really want to eat these 20,000 enemies?" Liu Yushu asked with some doubts.

"You can see it yourself!" Qin Shiyu handed the telegram to Liu Yushu and said.

"Yes!" Liu Yushu took the telegram and saw the content on it, and opened his mouth wide in surprise.

"The Japanese will establish Manchuria on May 1!"

"Yes, if we win this battle, how much shock will it cause?" Qin Shiyu said.

"But didn't Lao Lu keep us low profile?"

"Low-key, what is he doing low-key?" Qin Shiyu smiled and said, "He just doesn't want to expose our identity too early. The Japanese don't know the existence of Dongzong, but it probably will be soon!"

"Old Lei made another vote in western Liaoning. This vote is probably going to make the Japanese awaken!" Qin Shiyu said.

"I'm afraid the secret of Ma'er Mountain can't be hidden!"

"It's no secret until now. It's ridiculous that Kenji Doihara, the old devil, is still thinking about incorporating us!" Qin Shiyu smiled mockingly...

"If it were someone else, the conditions raised by Doihara would probably be really hard to refuse!" Liu Yushu said with a smile.

"Kenji Doihara is a sinister and cunning poisonous snake. His biggest shortcoming is that he is too conceited and always thinks he can control everything, but in fact he can't control it at all!" Qin Shiyu commented.

"What do you think of this telegram?" Qin Shiyu threw another telegram to Liu Yushu. The telegram was sent by Tang Juwu and Li Chunrun, and some senior executives of the Self-Defense Forces were signed by Li Chunrun.

"They want to incorporate the Self-Defense Army into the Eastern Column?" Liu Yushu said in surprise.

"Yes, I sent Lao Lu a secret telegram and told him about this. I don't know how he was thinking about it!" Qin Shiyu frowned slightly.

"Since it was Tang Juwu and the others who invited him to join him, why don't we..."

"Promise them, right?" Qin Shiyu said, "It's not a difficult thing to promise them. The key is, after the merger, you have also seen how to reorganize them. Can our equipment and training be compared with them? Will it be broken up and reorganized at that time, or will it be treated differently?"

"You mean, if the reorganization is broken up, then we have to provide weapons and equipment, which will reduce the combat effectiveness of our team, right?" Liu Yushu thought for a moment and realized that Qin Shiyu was worried.

This is not selfishness, but it is not easy for a unit to form a combat power, especially in the current situation, it is not advisable to break up and reorganize.

"And what Lao Lu and I are most worried about is that if they are incorporated into the Eastern Column, who will lead the team? Tang Juwu and his team are going to establish a regime in Liaodong, and this will inevitably be attacked by the Japanese army. Look at the map, this place is sandwiched between the Fengji Line and North Korea, and it is the richest place. Can the Japanese watch us grow vegetables in his back garden? They can march from the left, right and bottom at the same time, with the weapons and ammunition in Tang Juwu's hands, how can they fight at that time?" Qin Shiyu pointed to the three directions on the map.

"Yes, if you defend the enemy, you are not the opponent of the Japanese army at all!" Liu Yushu nodded. Now Tang Juwu and the others control the land that the Japanese must occupy, so the Japanese army will definitely not give up easily. Once the war begins, their chances of victory are very small.

"Even if we stay, we may not be able to compete with the Japanese army, but we just sacrificed ourselves!" Qin Shiyu said.

"If we join, we may not lose, right?" Liu Yushu said.

"If the Japanese army gave us half a year, they might not lose. If they could barely block it for three months, once the materials were exhausted, we would still be good next time we attacked. Without ammunition and medicine supplies, we have no chance of winning. Our little property was saved by Lao Lu with great effort!" Qin Shiyu said, "What's more, the Japanese will not give us time!"

"That's why Lao Lu insisted on going north to establish an anti-Japanese base, right?" Liu Yushu said.

"Yes, firstly, the Tumen area is close to the border and has certain resources. Secondly, the Japanese have not had strong control there, and thirdly, there are sparsely populated areas. Although there is difficulty in replenishing troops, as long as time is given to operate, it may not be bad in the future. Moreover, if you are backed by Russia, you can at least not have to be attacked by the enemy on the back!" Qin Shiyu said.

"Of course, we will not be limited to the Tumen area. In fact, when our strength increases, we can expand to the surrounding areas. We can enter Heilongjiang in the north and North Korea in the south. Lao Lu said that what he wants the most is Vladivostok!"

"Vladivostok, isn't that the place for the Soviet Union?" Liu Yushu said in shock.

"What is the Soviet Union? That place was originally from our China, and it was stolen by the Russians." Qin Shiyu said.

"This, this..." Liu Yushu didn't know what to say. He was a Bolshevik and naturally knew the relationship between the organization and the Soviet Union. The current organizational atmosphere was that he would not even say a few bad words!

"Old Liu, your organization doesn't seem to like this argument very much, right?" Qin Shiyu said.

"Old Qin, I don't know what to say, I can only say that I am a Chinese and I also hope to get my own things back, but..."

"But your leaders don't want this, right?"

"Old Qin, I don't know what to say, but..."

"Old Liu, do you know, did your organization make any mistakes now?" Qin Shiyu said, "It's just that it's too pertinent and unrealistic. And copying Russia's style, is China's national conditions the same as Russia?"

"It's the Soviet Union, not Russia. Maybe what you said makes sense, but..."

"Don't refuse to admit it. Now your party is in power with a young man named Wang Ming. He came back from Moscow with Shangfang's sword?"

"You old Qin, do you know?" Liu Yushu said with wide eyes. Qin Shiyu was obviously not from the organization, but she was very familiar with the organization.

"Haha, I not only know many of you and many things, but also know your immediate boss!" Qin Shiyu said.

Liu Yushu has never mentioned organization in front of Qin Shiyu, and Qin Shiyu seems to know Liu Yushu's identity, but he has never asked about it.

"Tell you, not only you, but Lao Lu also has a deep relationship with your organization. Lao Zhang, the deputy detachment leader of the advance detachment, is older than you. Do you know what his identity is?"

"I don't know, is he too..."

"He used to be the branch secretary of your Fushun Special Party Branch, and now he is the secretary of the Harbin Municipal Party Committee. You probably don't know about this yet!"

"ah?"

"Actually, Lao Lu talked to me that he has a good impression of your organization, otherwise he would not have let you join the Dongzong. He still feels so at ease that he can hold a high position. However, he has some disagreement with the policies you are implementing now, so he will restrict your publicity within the Dongzong!" Qin Shiyu explained patiently.

"I understand, no wonder he doesn't allow us to make it public..."

"Now you understand, Lao Lu is not an ordinary person. He sees deeper and farther than us. Although he is sometimes more extreme, he is sincere in fighting against Japan, sincere in doing so for the people and for this country!" Qin Shiyu said with a little excitement.

"Old Qin, you need to say nothing, I understand. Don't worry, I will definitely support your and Lao Lu's work in the future." Liu Yushu said moved.

"That's good. Now the team is short of talents everywhere. I am in charge of too many things alone. Let's do this. You can take on the logistics for me!" Qin Shiyu said.

"Okay!" Liu Yushu took a deep breath, nodded and agreed.

Lu Shan was also very confused at this moment. It sounded like a good thing for Tang Juwu and others to take the initiative to incorporate the Self-Defense Army into the East Column, but in fact, it was not a good thing for the East Column!

It’s not that Lu Shan is afraid of carrying a burden, but that this is different from his original plan!

Once the Self-Defense Forces were incorporated into the Eastern Column, he could not leave these people alone. It was easy to deal with it now, with only tens of thousands of people. When they grew stronger, it would be a scale of 200,000 to 300,000 people. At least they could not be killed by the Japanese army like in history, and few of them survived in the end.

Moreover, among this group of people, there are soldiers, police, and students. The construction of base areas requires these talents.

Lu Shan also considered the construction of the base area in the future. It would be impossible to have land, machines and technology alone without people.

The reason why three thousand people were selected from the coal miners in Fushun to form two supplementary groups was also due to this consideration.

If they accept the reorganization, will they agree to accept his leadership, give up the gains and losses of this city and a place, and follow them north?

"Boss, Miss Photon is here!"

"Please come in!" What did Yamada Koko come here at this time? Is there any important information?

"Boss!" Yamada Koko stood in front of Lu Shan.

"Photo, what's your business?" Lu Shan frowned slightly, and there seemed to be a hint of sorrow between Yamada's eyebrows.

"Boss, Kenji Doihara just received the order for promotion!" said Yamada Koko.

"Tihiyuan was promoted to major general!" Lu Shan said in surprise.

"Yes, he will be transferred back to China to serve as the brigade commander of the 9th Brigade of the Fifth Division of Hiroshima!" Yamada Minok said.

"This time the Maershan incident has no effect on him?" Lu Shan said in surprise.

"This promotion order has been issued a long time ago, but it has not been announced!" Yamada Minok explained.

"Who will take over him?"

"It's Colonel Seishiro Itagaki!"

"It's him!"

"Yes, but Doihiro did not transfer my relationship to Itagaki Seishiro, but ordered me to continue lurking!" Yamada Koko said.

Lu Shan understood that Yamada Photoko became a cold boy next to Kenji Doihara. When will he return to Manchuria be activated? This time may be one year, or several years.

"Then your relationship now?"

"My information in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been secretly handed over to the Ministry of Army, and the level has been upgraded from level A to level 3a. Only officers above the general are qualified to read it!" Yamada Minok said.

"Then your current position?" Lu Shan asked.

"I have no position. My previous position has been revoked. My only task now is to lurk by the boss!" Yamada Koko said.

"Well, since that's the case, you can do things by my side!" Lu Shan thought for a while, "I think Kenji Doihara should return to China soon."

"I'm sorry, Photon may not be able to help the boss in the future!" Yamada Keyo said.

Indeed, without Yamada Photon's inside line, there is a lack of a channel for obtaining information, which is also a considerable loss for Lu Shan.

"Haha, Photon, don't be sad!" Lu Shan comforted, "If you don't want to report to help me, you can help me in other ways!"

"Really?" Yamada Koko said happily, "Can Photon help the boss?"

"Of course, you don't have to worry about intelligence matters. Focus on helping me make money!" Lu Shan smiled, "Boss, what I lack most now is money."

"Boss, are you short of money?" Yamada Koko said in surprise.

"It's very scarce!" Lu Shan said, "You haven't seen the boss who is poor and doesn't smoke cigars, but only smokes cigarettes?"

"Don't the boss smoke a pipe?"
