Chapter 136 Dunson's Fury
The Japanese army's second front was defeated, and nearly 100,000 Japanese troops withdrew from the third line of defense. The Japanese army's troops on the third line of defense increased to 240,000. The depth of the defense line was more than ten miles, with fortifications and trenches, and a large number of semi-underground fortifications could not be seen at a glance. This is the masterpiece of the Japanese army during this period. The entire road to the northeast from Huludao was blocked, and a large number of civilians acted as temporary workers.
Holding a telescope, Li Fang, commander-in-chief of the Northeast against Japan, Guo Huai, chief of staff of the military headquarters, Jiang Baili, and commanders of each army and division were all frowning.
Putting down the telescope in his hand, Li Fang took a deep breath, looked at Jiang Baili beside him, pointed to the Japanese front line and spoke: "Chief of Staff, the Japanese front line is very strange! How should we fight after this battle? If an attack is launched, our armored vehicles and tanks will not be able to get along!"
"It is true. The Japanese army dug a trench ten meters wide every two hundred meters. There are hidden fire points they built at the edge of the trench. Even if we have no limit on artillery, it cannot be destroyed. Moreover, bomber bombing cannot have too much effect. I am afraid we have to think of other methods!" Jiang Baili did not expect that the Japanese army used this seemingly stupid but effective method. This width hit ten meters, and the steep trench armored vehicles on the edge could not pass at all. In addition, it is the snow season, so the infantry's attack will be hindered, so they must come up with a new side. "Okay! Let's hold a front-line military meeting immediately to discuss! But I don't know what the head of state is now!" Li Fang nodded and said yes, but he couldn't help but think about what kind of reaction Deng Sen had to the previous report.
The Su-Anhui government, and the current acting government in Nanjing, Deng Sen held the battle report in his hand, his eyes were covered with bloodshots and the corners of his mouth kept twitching. He held the telegram tightly with his hands, and blue veins appeared.
Beside him, Peng Qingjin stood quietly, and the new Foreign Minister Chiang Kai-shek was also very nervous. The staff of the Supreme Law Establishment Department of China lowered their heads, while Zhang Xiaojun, the Prime Minister, was anxiously waiting for the result.
The reason why everyone is like this is because the previous telegram was reported by the Japanese army escorting Chinese civilians as cannon fodder.
"Bang......" In the quiet, Deng Sen looked at everyone and punched his desk with a sudden punch. Then he stood up and looked at everyone and said, "Immediately issue the highest military order. If all Japanese prisoners are shot, all Chinese teams should not be captured by Japanese soldiers. At the same time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a notice that China and Japan have a irreconcilable feud. In the future, the matter of the Japanese army threatening our civilians will be announced to the world, and the highest political order will be issued to the whole country.
From today on, the Japanese are the public enemy of the nation. No matter when and wherever they kill the Japanese, they will be protected by the national government and will not be sentenced. Any Japanese are prohibited from entering the country and the sea areas and stop everything. Whether it is commercial or civil relations with the Japanese, intelligence departments across the country search all Japanese spies. Anyone who has dealings with Japan and constitutes treason will be sentenced to death and his family will be exiled to delete their family members."
Deng Sen was very angry. Although he knew that the Japanese army did not use this trick in the later generations when they invaded China, he was still very angry. He felt heartbroken and felt sorry for the soldiers and officers of his two divisions. He understood what mentality the two divisions were fighting in his mind. If someone dared to criticize the SS after the war, then the officials would be dismissed and investigated, and the political party members would be dismissed and shot directly. Such a hero could not be hurt by any words.
Everyone felt Deng Sen's anger, and everyone was extremely angry. Zhang Xiaojun, who had always treated people with kindness, was extremely angry when he received this news. The Japanese army's actions this time were offended all the knowledgeable people in China! Although they were mortal enemies in the army before, among the people, except for the several provinces in Jiangsu and Anhui that Deng Sen had ruled for a long time, other provinces did not have much disgust with Japan, but this time it was different. Japan completely became China's mortal enemies.
"Don't worry, head of state, we will immediately issue everything you said!" Everyone got their orders and walked out of the office one after another, only Zhang Xiaozhun stayed here.
"Head of the People's Republic of China, the great powers are asking us to cease war again!" Zhang Xiaozhun came to Deng Sen to sit down.
Deng Sen calmed down and raised his head: "What did they say? Did they raise another threat?"
"Yes! The 7th Division of the Japanese army fought well in France, so the Allies hoped that our country would cease to fight with Japan, and then allow Japan's troops to be transferred to Europe. The French even threatened that if our country and Japan continued to war, it would be a provocation to all Allies." Zhang Xiaozhun nodded, and the Europeans had been using military threats as diplomatic weapons.
"Arrogant! If the French dare to brute, I will dare to drive them all down to the sea to feed fish! Damn Gaul chicken, one day I will let him taste the greatness!" Dengson was extremely disgusted with France. France, a European land country, has threatened him more than once, but after he said that, he raised his hand and said, "Reply to all countries, it is not that I am unwilling to cease the war, but that the Japanese burn, kill and robbed in our territory is a provocation to our country. China is a country with a long history of 5,000 years and a splendid culture. Any country's provocation will be revenge from our country. If the Japanese army does not completely leave our territory in one day, the war will not end!"
It’s not that Deng Sen didn’t want to end the war. The war spent a lot of money during this period. The food and supplies needed by the army alone cost more than 20 million US dollars, and tens of thousands of soldiers were killed and injured. It is conceivable how huge the war cost. If Japan is willing to give up the Northeast and hand over the Port of Lushun, Deng Sen would never fight to the end with Japan because of the hatred in his heart. However, the Japanese would not do that. How could Japan, which is so rich, give up? Therefore, Deng Sen could only fight. In the European battlefield, although Germany is still strong, it is already a little tired. It is November 1915. The battle in the Northeast will definitely become more and more difficult because of the weather. In 1916, it is the best time for China to develop. Now China’s industry
Most of them are in Jiangsu, Anhui and Zhejiang provinces. The entire industrial system is expanding, but domestic resources have not been effectively developed. For example, coal mines in Shanxi, various minerals in the Yangtze River Basin, such as saltpeter in Xinjiang. Now, China's domestic railways are not even a few other provinces except the seaside provinces, and the western provinces are not completely unified. The bald donkeys in the UK and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau are still in a mess. The Islams are also receiving Russian aid. The princes and princes in the outside world are all arrogant and have too many things. Fortunately, 1918 is approaching. After 1918, after the Spanish flu, as long as he is well arranged by Dengson, the space for China's national strength will increase rapidly.
The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs held a routine press conference on the afternoon of the day when Dengson issued the order, expressing his inhumane behavior at Japan and permanently declared war on Japan in the name of the Chinese nation, saying that if Japan wants to stop the war, it must withdraw from all Chinese territory.
Journalists from various countries were shocked by the report presented by China. As mentioned before, European countries were very angry at this practice of forcing civilians to participate in the war. Many journalists even scolded the Japanese inhumane.
In the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, all ambassadors of various countries gathered together. As early as two months ago, Germany had canceled its embassy in China because China once again refused to cooperate with Germany. Now Germany urgently needs a new force to join, but China cannot agree.
"Everyone, as the Minister of Foreign Affairs of China, here I will answer the previous requests of various countries. In this war, Japan interferes in our internal affairs. The place where the war breaks out is also our territory. May I ask you, what will you do if such a war occurs in your country's territory? Our China is an ancient, autonomous country. We have the obligation to declare war and fight for national glory and territorial war. Our great head of state said that if all countries want this war to stop, then they must force the Japanese army to retreat.
If you leave all the territory of China and return it to Taiwan, as long as there are any Japanese or Japanese soldiers within our territory, the war will not end." Chiang Kai-shek spoke in a tough tone in front of many diplomats of the great powers... Ambassadors of various countries had nothing to say. This war must be Japan's interference in China's internal affairs, and even a suspicion of aggression. If it were in the Qing Dynasty, the countries in the Qing Dynasty could turn a blind eye, but now they are facing a powerful country, a country with nearly twice the military strength than condemns Japan.
If it weren't for the role played by the Japanese on the European battlefield, the great powers wouldn't care about his life or death.
"Mr. Minister, we would like to ask whether China would make any excessive demands if the armistice was done?" British ambassador Jurden asked, because he knew that with Dunson's personal sternness, he would definitely ask Japan for compensation. If such a thing is made worse, Japan would definitely not agree.
"Japan gave up all interests in China and exchanged the port of Lushun, Taiwan, and the territory from Anzhou to the new front line of North Korea to be transferred to China, and compensated for the war losses of 100,000 pounds!" Chiang Kai-shek took out a document, which was the previous compensation request for the Japanese war. Dengson not only asked Japan to return all occupied Chinese territory, but also asked Japan to ced the northern part of North Korea.
For North Korea, Deng Sen could completely ignore Taiwan and carry out landing wars. However, for North Korea, a rogue country in later generations, and the so-called Korean nation that boasted all day long, he decided to colonize North Korea and completely eliminate the Koreans in this world.
"God......... Chinese people are so greedy, so the Japanese cannot agree to this!" Zhu Erdian shook his head. The Japanese would not agree to such a condition.
"If we don't agree, then we will fight, and they will agree. Let the war continue, gentlemen!" He had long expected that these people would not agree. Dengson really wanted to end the war, but if the war could not achieve the goal he wanted to achieve, then he would rather continue the war.
