Chapter 444: Changing to Heshun County

The negotiations with the little devil continued, and according to Liao Fan's instructions, Li Lingfei threw out a few conditions at the right time, and Major General Miyamoto also happily agreed to Li Lingfei's conditions. According to the little devil's idea, he was not afraid that Li Lingfei would not put forward conditions, but he was worried that the New 33rd Army would not have any conditions, otherwise this negotiation would not be able to continue.

The content of the negotiation is actually very simple, it is nothing more than the issue of the interests of both sides, as for whether it is necessary to retreat and make concessions, these things are very clear to Major General Miyamoto and Li Lingfei.

But there are two issues at the negotiation table, Li Lingfei will never give in, one is that the little devil proposed to let the new 33rd Army withdraw from Heshun County, of course, the little devil paid a very generous condition, in exchange for the three county towns near Taihang Mountain in the direction of Hebei.

The second question is whether the New 33rd Army is willing to accept the reorganization of the Japanese army, and this condition is more lucrative, that is, Yangquan will be used as the garrison of the New 33rd Army, and the New 33rd Army will have complete autonomy in Yangquan, and the Japanese will have the right to trade and live, just like a concession.

Since Heshun County was occupied by the new 33rd Army, the north and south of the communication line in eastern Jindong could not be connected, and it was completely paralyzed, and in just this month, a large number of coal resources in Shanxi had to be hoarded in warehouses around the country.

More importantly, the Japanese army was now worried that the New 33rd Army would take the opportunity to attack the surrounding areas, and the Japanese army in Shanxi had to withdraw troops just in case.

Although Heshun County was only a small county town for the New 33rd Army, the occupation of Heshun County was not of great strategic significance to the entire New 33rd Army, mainly because Liao Fan really did not want the people of Heshun County to suffer from the war.

The county seat of Heshun has changed hands frequently several times only between the little devils and the new 33rd Army, and every time the county seat of Heshun is contested, the people in the city are frightened and cannot live normally for more than ten days.

Although Heshun County is not of great strategic significance to the New 33rd Army, it does not mean that it will be let out.

"I said Miyamoto, Heshun County is a county seat that we have worked hard to build, and there are thousands of graves of our soldiers around the county seat!"

Li Lingfei thought to himself that the little devil was in the habit of arrogance, and said that if we let us give up Heshun County, we will give up Heshun County, this is too shameless, even if he doesn't have face, let Heshun County Go, how can he face the more than 1,000 soldiers who died in battle.

"Colonel Li, I said it, as long as you give up the county seat of Heshun, we are willing to exchange the three county towns in Hebei, if you think this condition cannot be met, just add another condition!"

Major Miyamoto had already discussed with his commander when he came to the future, and now Shanxi was under the attack of Shaanxi and Taihang Mountain, and the most important south was Zhongtiao Mountain, and even if the New 33rd Army could not be reorganized into the Imperial Allied Army, the main attention of the New 33rd Army could be shifted to the direction of Hebei, so that the pressure on their Shanxi could be reduced.

"Which three county towns does Major General Miyamoto plan to exchange for?" Li Lingfei took out the map that had been prepared a long time ago and put it in front of Miyamoto.

Everyone in the command headquarters watched Li Lingfei skillfully take out the map, and felt as if Li Lingfei had already expected this link in the meeting.

Without the slightest hesitation, Major General Miyamoto indicated on the map the three county seats, Lincheng, Yuanji and Zanhuang.

The corners of Li Lingfei's mouth rose, the arrangement of the little devil obviously had ulterior motives, although these three county towns were very close to Taihang Mountain, but once the new 33rd Army was stationed in it, it would be completely divided and surrounded by the little devil.

"These three county towns are good places, I'm afraid that our new 33rd Army will not be blessed, Major General Miyamoto, you are subordinate to Shanxi, these three county towns are subordinate to Hebei, just by your words, you can assign these three county towns to our new 33rd Army, is there no opinion on the one in Shijiazhuang?"

Major General Miyamoto had long expected Li Lingfei to ask this, after all, the commander-in-chief of Shanxi and Hebei was not alone, and such an important matter as dividing the county was not a decision he could make, he came to Taihang Mountain only to discuss the conditions, as long as the conditions were met, his task would be completed, and as for who would implement the conditions achieved, there would naturally be others to consider.

"As long as Colonel Li agrees to come down, we will naturally negotiate and complete this matter!"

"If I agree to come down and then withdraw from Heshun County, what will you do if you regret it then? I don't want to prove the credit of you Japanese! Li Lingfei said.

"This is easy to do, after you have completely taken over the three county seats, you can withdraw from Heshun County, so that it will only be good for you!"

"So you're not afraid that we'll end up repenting?" Li Lingfei asked.

"This ......"

Major General Miyamoto also knew that the implementation of this plan was very risky, and in case the new 33rd Army did not withdraw from Heshun County, they would not be able to do anything. Even if both sides signed the agreement, in the era of war, the agreement was not as good as a piece of butt paper.

"Major General Miyamoto, we Chinese have attached great importance to honesty since ancient times, but I think these three county towns are not as important as one Heshun county town for our new 33rd Army, if you really want us to give up Heshun county town, show a little sincerity!"

Major General Miyamoto frowned, as a soldier, he knows very well the importance of Heshun County in Jindong, and although the three county towns in Hebei have certain strategic significance, especially the strategic location of Lincheng, it is very important, but for the New 33rd Army, which has only tens of thousands of people, it is not too important to carry out too big a strategic task, so these three county towns are not so important to the New 33rd Army.

On the contrary, the New 33rd Army might as well concentrate its forces to defend Heshun County, so that the little devils in the entire Shanxi Province will not have a good time.

"Colonel Li, if you have any conditions, just put them forward, we can negotiate!"

Major General Miyamoto looked at Li Lingfei, he only hoped that Li Lingfei's conditions would not be too excessive, otherwise his trip to Taihang Mountain would have no effect.

"I think this place is good, it's better to change this place, our new 33rd Army is generous, we don't need three county seats, just two." Li Lingfei used his hand to draw a random place on the map, this place is the Jingcheng Mining Area, and it includes the two county towns on the periphery of the Jingcheng Mining Area, the Jingcheng County and the Pingshan County.

"If Major General Miyamoto doesn't agree, let's not talk about the matter of giving up Heshun County!" Li Lingfei continued.

Major General Miyamoto looked at the map and clenched his fists slightly, although he is the chief of staff of Shanxi, but he also understands the affairs of Hebei, the Jingcheng mining area produces all kinds of mineral resources, especially the mineral resources for the manufacture of various weapons, and the county seat of Jingcheng and Pingshan County are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and they are very close to Shijiazhuang.

"Colonel Li, the Jingcheng area is of great strategic importance to our side, I think Colonel Li should consider other conditions, maybe we have a better solution!" Major General Miyamoto didn't plan to exchange such an important area for a county seat in Heshun, and the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army in Hebei in Shijiazhuang would not agree.

"Oh~ So that's the case, if you don't change it, forget it, since the Jingcheng area is so important to you, then we will keep Heshun County!"

Li Lingfei looked like you like to change it or not, you don't want to change it, we don't want to give it yet, it's a big deal to take the Jingcheng area by yourself.

Major General Miyamoto looked embarrassed, he thought that Li Lingfei would agree to the three county towns plus some additional conditions, but now it seems that Taihang Mountain does not have the slightest intention to give up the choice of Heshun County.

Of course, Major General Miyamoto will not give up the opportunity to exchange Heshun County back, after all, Heshun County is too important to Jindong, and they have no ability to fight down, so they can only exchange other regions.

So it's just the issue of Heshun County, Major General Miyamoto talked with Li Lingfei all morning, as for the Chongqing side and Political Commissar Liu, they have completely become people watching the excitement, but they admire Li Lingfei's ability more and more, because most of the meeting is that he is talking to the Japanese, the important thing is to talk all morning, practical words are only two or three sentences, and the rest is all nonsense.

Until lunch, Major General Miyamoto did not find a suitable condition to persuade Li Lingfei to agree to these things.

The afternoon belongs to the adjournment time, it's not that the little devil doesn't want to talk, but Li Lingfei doesn't want to talk, his reason is very simple, he gets up so early in the morning, he naturally has to go to bed at noon, and he has to report to Liao Fan when he sleeps, and there are a series of things in the army waiting for him to do, how can he have time to accompany you little devils who don't like the eyes.

As for Liao Fan, he had already walked around the entire station in the morning, and after eating at noon, he finished the rest, and when he had nothing to do, he took Lu Liming and them to climb the mountain, of course, there is no shortage of mountains in Taihang Mountain. According to Liao Fan, climbing the mountain can cultivate sentiment and exercise the body.

When Liao Fan took Lu Liming to climb a mountain peak, Lu Liming and the others were already sweating profusely. Although there are many trees on the mountain, it is strange that the sun is still so high this afternoon that you don't sweat.

"On this peak you can see half of our station, where an artillery position and five machine-gun positions were built, but luckily it has never been used, otherwise we would not be lush from here!"

"Brother Fan, are there such positions arranged on the surrounding peaks?" Lu Liming asked.

Liao Fan shook his head: "Although the surrounding peaks have positions, the firepower is all developing to the periphery, and only here is aimed at our own station." ”

Liao Fan thought that when the little devil besieged Taihang Mountain for the first time, he had already prepared for the jade to be burned. As soon as their defenses were breached, he would order artillery to cover the vital areas of the garrison.
