Chapter 597 Jiangdong's Blockbuster
This was not Yan Xishan's first contact with the Japanese, but this time it was the intelligence chief of the Japanese North China Front.
The two sides have talked several times before, and Yan Xishan's attitude has always been ambiguous. The No. 1 operation is of great importance. The oil fields in northern Shaanxi may even change Japan's national destiny. The North China Front is planning to spend a lot of money this time.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Nagaki Tasei said straight to the point:
"Commander Yan, you were originally a powerful hero, but now you have been driven to the desolate northern Shaanxi by villains. The Imperial Headquarters appreciates your talents very much. This time I come with brand new conditions. If you agree, your ambition and talents
All will be put to use."
Yan Xishan raised his chin slightly without showing much interest.
The smile on Nagaki Tasei's face did not diminish,
"There is an old saying in China that those who understand current affairs are heroes. If you turn from darkness to light, the headquarters will recommend you as Vice Chairman of the Nanjing National Government, Chairman of the three provinces of Shanxi, Suiyuan and Chahar, and Vice Chairman of the North China Government Affairs Committee!
We will not only retain the establishment of the Jinsui Army, but also help you expand it. All the food, wages and ammunition required will be provided by the North China Front Army.
The imperial army will not interfere with your local governance. You will become the true overlord of North China and save hundreds of millions of people from the flames of war. You will be a hero for thousands of years!"
Chang Xiduocheng even said he was excited, and he spread his hands with an excited expression.
Yan Xishan's expression was as calm as ever. He picked up the teacup and took a sip without saying a word.
There were only two of them in the room, and Nagakita Seiichi's movements and expression suddenly became awkward.
The conditions offered by the North China Front Army this time are not unfavorable. They have made great concessions for oil resources, but Yan Xishan still seems not satisfied. Nagaki Tasheng thought of four words:
"The desire is hard to satisfy!"
"Do you have any other concerns or needs?" He asked, holding back the disgust in his heart.
Yan Xishan shook his head slightly and did not answer the question directly.
"If I want to get what you just said, what price do I have to pay."
Changxi Duacheng was overjoyed and said quickly:
"His Excellency Lieutenant General Tada Shun does not have many requests. I only hope that you can lead the Shanxi-Sui Army in northwestern Shanxi to join the imperial army's camp, open a gap in northwestern Shanxi, and assist the Yellow Army in crossing the Yellow River and attacking northern Shaanxi!"
"The road to Suiyuan is wide and flat. Wouldn't it be more convenient to go that way? Are you afraid of Jiangdong?"
"Cough cough cough..." Nagaki Tasei cleared his throat unnaturally,
"I don't know the plan of Your Excellency Lieutenant General, but it is nonsense to be afraid of Jiangdong. In the North Branch! In this land, the North China Front will not be afraid of anyone. It has not been in the past and it will not be in the future!"
"oh!"
Yan Xishan nodded thoughtfully, but as before, he did not give any clear answer.
No matter how extravagant what Chang Xidu Chengcheng said, the most he could do was just hum in a neutral tone, and his thoughts were unpredictable.
When Yan Xishan was the only one left in the cave, two emotions, tangled and angry, appeared on his face.
Jiangdong's strength is getting stronger day by day. If nothing unexpected happens, the Jin-Sui Army will have difficulty gaining a foothold in Shanxi, and will not be able to return to its hometown.
But Yan Xishan could not surrender to the Japanese invaders and live together with those who were seeking glory.
Chinese generals in North China can clearly feel that since Jiangdong entered Shanxi, the life of the Japanese North China Front has become more and more difficult day by day.
In the near future, Jiangdong may indeed regain Shanxi and all of North China.
It is undoubtedly a foolish act to choose to surrender to the Japanese invaders at this time.
I heard that Wei Junru completely cut off contact with the Japanese invaders six months ago, and I guess he also saw this.
The growth of new forces is doomed to the decline of old forces.
Yan Xishan was caught in a dilemma.
Thinking about how powerful the Jinsui Army was back then, and how glorious Yan Xishan was, but now,
"well!"
Deep lamentations came from the cave dwelling.
…
After uprooting the strongholds along the railway, the Daqingshan guerrilla detachment took advantage of the situation and captured Dorqi.
Each station along the Pingsui Railway was a material storage base for the Japanese army. The Daqingshan guerrilla detachment obtained a large amount of materials with minimal casualties. Yao Yidao's mouth turned into a big bowl shape, and he eagerly sent a report to the old man.
Friend Ye Qingshan takes credit and shows off!
Ye Qingshan has returned to Baotou, and he continues to act as the liaison between Jiangdong and the Red Party troops.
He showed the telegram sent by Yao Yida to Jiang Dong, Lu Zhuoran and others one by one, and then asked with a smile:
"Chief Jiang, what should we do next?"
The officers from all departments in the headquarters were all relaxed. After hearing the question, they all looked at Jiangdong with a smile.
Jiang Dong did not answer, but walked to the sand table he had just made.
The situation between the enemy and ourselves on the sand table is clear.
The section from Baotou to Dorqi on the Pingsui Railway has been completely controlled by the 35th Army and the Daqingshan Guerrilla Detachment.
The Japanese troops gathered in Guisui and went as far west as Chasuqi to confront the Chinese army. For a while, it seemed that they had no intention of marching westward.
The Ma Jiajun cavalry moved between Wuchuan and Guisui, and took advantage of the terrain to attack Suiyuan from the side.
The 1st Guards Division is stationed in Baotou, and the 2nd Division is on the line between Guyang and Daqingshan.
The Tumochuan Plain, south of Yinshan Mountain, east of Baotou, north of the Great Wall, west of Jining, with Guisui as the radiation center and the Pingsui Railway as the connecting link, is the major battlefield selected by Jiangdong.
And he has already taken a stance, waiting for his opponent to attack first.
"Shun Tada seems to have no intention of accepting the move!" Fu Zuoyi also came to the edge of the sand table.
Jiang Dong looked at the situation map of the enemy and ourselves and asked casually:
"Does the 35th Army lack cold-resistant materials?"
"Chief Jiang has given us most of the seizures in Wuyuan and Baotou. The brothers are now wearing warm clothes, and the food and ammunition are sufficient for attack. The morale of the army is high, so Commander Jiang can rest assured!"
The 35th Army was used to living a hard life, but this time it was rare for them to be rich. The brothers were gearing up to prepare for a big fight with the Japs, and Fu Zuoyi also seemed full of confidence.
Jiang Dong smiled and nodded,
"That's very good. You don't have to worry about Shun Tada not moving. I still have a back-up waiting for him. He will definitely seek a decisive battle with us.
The Daqingshan guerrilla detachment was insufficient in equipment and strength, so the 35th Army first sent a regiment to Dorqi to monitor the movements of the Japanese army."
Jiang Dong looked at Ye Qingshan again,
"I leave the defense along the Yellow River to your army. We must not let any Japanese soldiers cross the Yellow River."
Ye Qingshan took a step forward,
"The main force of our army has entered the meander of the river, and some guerrillas are moving towards Tuoketuo. There are many rivers and deserts on the southern line, and it is supported by the Great Wall and the Yellow River. The Japanese army will not easily cross the Yellow River and threaten northern Shaanxi! Commander Jiang, may
rest assured!"
"Ha ha……"
Jiang Dong laughed and looked around at everyone, and said boldly:
"Since everyone is fully prepared, I will start to recruit more people!"
…
On December 12, Jincheng Military Daily, Minbao, Central Daily News, etc. simultaneously published the confession of Japanese Imperial Lieutenant General Io Mizukawa.
This is what Koto said before, the bombshell for the old Japanese commander Tada Shun, the commander of the Japanese North China Front.
The beginning of the newspaper first introduced the identity of Ifo Mizukawa, especially his relationship with the Hirohito family.
Then comes the content of the confession.
The confession first listed what Io Mizukawa knew about the numerous crimes committed by the Japanese invaders on the land of China since September 18th.
There are countless human experiments, poison gas bombs, bacterial bombs, massacres, etc. When Io Mizukawa listed these crimes, he added the time, location, officer who gave the order, and the troops who performed the task.
He also pointed out that some of the horrific massacres were directly related to the Japanese emperor and the stronghold.
The emperor's words were written word for word by Io Mizukawa in his confession, clearly showing the ugly face of the Japanese emperor.
In addition to accusing him of crimes, Io Mizukawa also explained the future combat direction of the Japanese Army in his confession.
The strategic plan to attack the Soviet Union north and plunder Siberian resources suddenly appeared in the eyes of Chinese and foreign politicians.
Io Mizukawa described the plan in unusual detail, coupled with his own sensitive identity, which virtually added credibility to what he said.
At the end of his confession, Io Mizukawa revealed to the world that the Japanese emperor used theocratic ideas to fool the people and used fascist and militaristic ideas to torture Japanese youth.
The Japanese royal family is extravagant and luxurious, but the lives of ordinary Japanese people are in dire straits, with no clothes to cover their bodies and no food to eat.
Ifo Mizukawa called on ordinary Japanese people and Japanese soldiers who were fooled to join the anti-war camp together with peace-loving countries around the world, overthrow the theocratic emperor and the fascist government, use wisdom and labor to create a better life, and lead Japan
Toward a brighter future.
At the back of the newspaper, the anti-war alliance soldiers' disgust with the war and their complaints against the Japanese government and the emperor were also published. They expressed their longing for their hometown and relatives in plain and simple words, with warmth, sadness and helplessness intertwined.
Together, they vividly show the "dire straits" of ordinary soldiers and ordinary people.
The soldier's accusation and Io Mizukawa's confession were published in the same newspaper, and the dirty thoughts and dirty behavior of the Japanese Emperor, the Japanese government, and the Japanese army were fully revealed.
The newspaper caused a huge sensation as soon as it was released, and panic buying occurred again.
Vigorous anti-Japanese and national salvation movements were launched across the country. The surrendering faction and the peace-seeking faction were like rats crossing the street, and everyone was shouting and beating them. Their minds were like excrement in the gutter and they dared not see the light of day again.
Since December 13, major foreign newspapers have successively reprinted Io Mizukawa's confession.
Chapter completed!
