The winter of the early 1940s seemed to be particularly cold, and the mountains and rivers were covered in snow, which looked particularly enchanting. At the foot of Dahong Mountain, more than a dozen horses roared through the grass, startling the wild beasts on this land to scatter and flee. These people on the horses were all dark green tweed military uniforms, and they were also wearing black cavalry cloaks, led by Luo Yaoguo and Zhang Xueliang.

Both of them carried shotguns on their backs, as if they were out hunting and playing, but they only rode through the woods and grass, and neither of them really shot a shot. Finally, the two men led the horses up a hill one after the other, and at the foot of them was a large snow-covered farmland village, where curling smoke was rising from the chimneys on the roofs of the villages in the distance, and a few children were playing in the snow, a quiet and peaceful rural scene.

Luo Yaoguo grabbed the reins, jumped down from the horse first, raised his hand, pointed to the earth below the mountain and said with a smile: "A piece of snow, it seems that the coming year will be another bumper year!" Zhang Xueliang also jumped off the horse, did not speak, but looked at all this at the foot of the mountain thoughtfully.

Luo Yaoguo then smiled again and said: "China is finally on the right track in the hands of our generation, and we people are finally worthy of this era." ”

Zhang Xueliang didn't know what he was thinking, he just smiled after listening to Luo Yaoguo's words, and said in a low voice: "To be precise, it should be that you really did something......

Luo Yaoguo shook his head and said lightly: "The country can have today." The credit is not ours. Rather, it belongs to all, including those who oppose our claims! What will there be no objections to? However, we are fortunate to have encountered a group of opposition factions who also put the interests of the country and the nation first, and although they have different opinions, they can express them rationally without harming the development of the whole country...... It is indeed extremely valuable to be able to do this in this era, and it is you who have given us the opportunity to develop and made the rise of this country smoother! ”

Zhang Xueliang glanced at Luo Yaoguo and said with a low smile: "Brother Fuwen, don't put gold on our faces, now China can embark on the road of democratic constitutionalism step by step." It is inseparable from the restraint of those of you in power. If you, like the Manchus, Stalin in the Soviet Union, and the present Japanese authorities, stubbornly adhere to the line of reactionary dictatorship, then we do not mind countering counter-revolutionary violence with revolutionary violence! "Speaking of which. Zhang Xueliang glanced at Luo Yaoguo again, and saw that his expression was calm, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fuwen, don't you really think about going to see Nosaka Sanzo?" Don't want to hear the opinion of his opponent? Perhaps you can cooperate with the Japanese GCD, and the conditions that the Japanese reactionary bureaucrats refuse to agree to, Nosaka Sanzo agrees to all of them! He is sincerely willing to cooperate with China in friendship and cooperation. ”

Luo Yaoguo glanced at him coldly, and said lightly: "The opinion of our national government has been very clear in the "Statement on Policy Adjustment Toward Japan", and we are willing to negotiate and contact with all responsible political forces on the Japanese side, including the Japanese GCD, of course. But the Japanese GCD is not the only one that has such a force. In addition, we have established cooperative relations with some of these forces, and it seems that if the Japanese GCD wants to participate in post-war Japanese politics, it should cooperate with other political forces in Japan...... I don't want infighting between the different political forces that we support. In addition, the Japanese GCD should also show a certain strength, and in the future, Japan's domestic politics will still speak with the barrel of a gun! Our Nationalist Government will not get too deeply involved, and I do not want to get bogged down in the quagmire of Japanese national resistance. ”

Zhang Xueliang shook his head slightly when he heard this, his face was calm, but he was taken aback in his heart.

This time, he was instructed by his superiors to accompany Japanese GCD leader Sanzo Nosaka to Wuhan. During this time, Japan was approaching because of the national crisis. The Japanese also followed the trend and raised the banner of the War of Resistance, so the strength of the party developed rapidly, and the number of party members increased to tens of thousands in just one or two months...... Since Japan's domestic politics have always been firmly controlled by the upper classes, led by the emperor, the opposition is very weak, and the Japanese now seem to be the most powerful force among them. ，/

Therefore, the "Statement on Policy Adjustment with Japan" was released. The internationalists in Peking and the Japanese saw an opportunity. If the Nationalist Government wants to find the strength to cooperate in Japan, the Japanese government seems to be the best choice. But now listen to Luo Yaoguo's tone. The Nationalist Government seems to have found a more ideal partner! Is there such a force in Japan? No! When pigs fly!

Zhang Xueliang's eyes widened and looked at Luo Yaoguo: "Brother Fuwen, you don't know the Japanese, the cohesion of the Japanese is quite high, except for the Japanese GCD, you can't find reliable collaborators." If you don't have reliable collaborators, you will surely find Japan in the sea of people's war. ”

Luo Yaoguo's answer was a sneer: "Brother Han Qing, no one in this world knows better than me how the Japanese react in the face of a truly strong person!" They will also be afraid, they will give in, they will steal their lives! So I'm not worried about any people's war, what a vast ocean...... If you go back and tell Nosaka that if you want to have a place in the future Japanese political arena, you should act quickly, and the situation in Japan will soon change dramatically, and if you start slowly, you will not have time to get a piece of the pie! ”

With that, he shrugged his shoulders, led the horse, and headed down the mountain. Zhang Xueliang was there speculating about his words. What will happen in Japan? What kind of forces would make the Japanese choose to submit? You know, the squadron has not yet set foot on the soil of Japan, and even on the Korean Peninsula, there are still millions of Japanese troops still resisting stubbornly......

……

At this moment, at the Beiling Airport on the outskirts of Shenyang in the northeast, the soldiers of the brigade wearing the uniforms of the military police of the National Defense Forces had already completely blocked the place with five steps and one post at ten steps and one sentry at ten steps. Except for a small number of vehicles with a special pass jointly issued by the Commander of the Air Force and the Commander-in-Chief of the Beiyang Front. All will be stopped 10 kilometers from the barbed wire fence outside the airport! And there are also outrageous anti-aircraft guns around the airfield! View from the hillside in the distance. I only saw that the dense muzzles of the guns were all pointed into the air. However, on the runway of this huge military airport, there were only three huge B-1 heavy bombers, these planes were so huge that people stood under the planes, not as high as their wheels, and there were four huge engines hanging on the wings of the planes, and once they turned, the loud noise could be transmitted for several kilometers!

Several bulletproof cars are speeding along the highway through layers of checkpoints. The leading one, with a four-star general flag on the front of the car. Senior General Lee Soon En, Commander-in-Chief of the Wehrmacht Air Force, was sitting upright in the back seat, his right hand clutching a document bag without any mark. An order that decided the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people is now lying quietly in this ordinary document bag.

The convoy drove into the airport and headed directly under the control tower in a corner of the airport. Several officers in the uniforms of the Air Force Academy were waiting there. The car stopped in front of them, and Li Shunen stepped out of the car, looked at a few subordinates who came up, and announced loudly: "Order from the White Commander of the Beiyang Front!" Tomorrow you will be dispatched to carry out this historic mission, and from now on, martial law will be imposed at Beiling Airport! All the crew members who participated in the operation immediately went to rest after being disbanded, and assembled at the operational command center at 3 a.m. tomorrow to deploy specific tasks. ”

After Li Shunen finished speaking, Air Force Lieutenant General Sun Yang, who got out of another car, continued: "Brothers. I am Sun Yang, commander of the Strategic Aviation Division of the Air Force, and I am the commander-in-chief of this operation, and I will follow you in the FW-200F reconnaissance plane! Now the officer I have named, please step forward. As he spoke, he took out a list from his pocket and read it: "Colonel Huang Jugu, Lieutenant Colonel Wu Fan, Lieutenant Colonel Wang Tianxiang." ”

Three young men in Wehrmacht Air Force uniforms stepped forward, the captains of the three B-1 heavy bombers that had been specially modified to carry atomic bombs on nuclear bombing missions. These three and their respective crews were selected from the elite of the Wehrmacht's bomber aviation divisions. Since the time of test flights of the B-1 aircraft, they have been flying such heavy bombers. After six months of rigorous training, these young people finally mastered all the key aspects of dropping the atomic bomb and knew what a terrible mission they were about to undertake!

Sun Yang looked at the three young officers in front of him. snapped up and gave them a standard military salute: "Comrades, I think you already know the significance of this mission!" This time we are doing this not only to kill hundreds of thousands of Japanese, but also to save more lives! Of course, this also includes the lives of many Japanese who would have died in our landing operations. And your names will forever be remembered for this operation! Here, I wish you all a good night's sleep tonight. Disbanded now! ”

……

Pyongyang, on the banks of the Taedong River.

The Korean battlefield, which had been fighting fiercely for more than a month, suddenly fell silent. The positions of the Chinese National Defense Forces on the other side of the Datong River were empty and there was not a single figure in them, and the sound of gunfire, explosions, and fighting that had been roaring on the land of the Korean Peninsula for more than a month also stopped abruptly overnight, and the sky was also peaceful, with only white clouds and a clear blue sky, and no planes could be seen...... It's as if this Korean War is over!

At this time, General Sugiyama was in full armor, standing on top of the half-collapsed Pyongyang city wall, holding a telescope motionless and looking in the direction of the other side of the Taedong River.

The general was surrounded by a group of staff officers of the North Korean army, all of whom were also holding binoculars and looking into the distance, but the look on their faces was cloudy and uncertain, and there was a little joy for the rest of their lives, but more of them were expressions of suspicion, and a thick cloud of doubt was shrouding the hearts of the staff officers of the North Korean army at this time.

Why don't the Chinese fight for no reason? Well, I'm probably used to being beaten, and suddenly one day there are no shells, bombs or anything on my head, and these elites of the Japanese Army are really not used to it. Could it be that the Chinese are ready to withdraw their troops and go back, and they are no longer "invading Japan"? No Japanese devil with a brain would believe that there is such a good thing in the world! But why didn't they go on the offensive? Even if you don't attack, you can continue the siege! Why was the siege unencircled somehow...... There must be a conspiracy! And it's a big conspiracy!

Although it is impossible to guess what the conspiracy is. However, these Japanese staff officers were still able to analyze and deduce some circumstances.

"The people of China must have felt that the loss of the assault was too great. The siege was too much of a waste of time, so they removed the encirclement and wanted us to take the initiative to break through to the south, and they set up an ambush in the middle of the way and wiped us out in one fell swoop! ”

"No, it can't be...... We are not fools, how can we abandon the fortified city and retreat south in a hurry? There must be a more powerful conspiracy on the part of the Chinese people! Perhaps the target is not our North Korean army, but ...... Domestic! This is most likely part of the political inducement of the National Government of China! ”

"Could it be...... The country is secretly making peace with China! That's why they will remove the encirclement? ”

"It should be a temporary truce, right? I heard that the bombing of China has also stopped in the past two days, and there must be some agreement behind this, maybe the order for an armistice will be sent to us soon! ”

"Will it be a truce? If that's the case...... What will be the conditions for an armistice? ”

"Humph! Then you don't need to ask. It must be the cession of Korea, the cession of New Japan, the cession of the Philippines, the cession of the East Indies...... And maybe the abolition of the emperor system! ”

"What! Abolish the emperor system! That's impossible. Not a single Japanese would say yes! ”

"Well, maybe the emperor will be retained, but the land that those imperial soldiers have taken through blood and sweat must have been sold by them to the Shina people!"

"That's right! It must be like this, this group of national thieves! Why didn't anyone go to heaven to punish them? ”

In the end, these staff officers pointed the finger at the Japanese government at home! This was absolutely unthinkable in the past, and perhaps these people have long been full of resentment towards the government that abandoned them, right?

Sugiyama Yuan put down the telescope in his hand and snorted softly, and the group of disgruntled staff officers behind him suddenly stopped squeaking.

"Ishihara-kun, what do you think?" Sugiyama asked Ishihara Waner with a frown. He is also a man of his own eyes, and he knows all about the government's secret contacts with the Chinese side. So far there is no sign of any agreement!

Ishihara Wan'er also put down the binoculars, frowned slightly, and then shook his head: "Well, this subordinate can't guess it...... But it must have something to do with the "Statement", maybe there is something going on in the dark that we don't know about, right? ”

Sugiyama nodded, this explanation should be the only reasonable one at the moment. After a while, he asked in a low voice, "So what should we do now?" ”

Before Ishihara could answer, a staff officer stepped forward, almost standing between him and Sugiyama Moto, and said in an excited tone: "Your Excellency the General! Order your troops to attack! Take advantage of the unpreparedness of the Chinese army. Our army is just in time to launch a surprise attack! This is the only chance for the North Korean army! Even if you can't win, you can kill and injure the Shina army to the maximum! ”

Sugiyama Moto's eyes were half-squinted, his hands behind his back, he paced slowly for a few steps, and then turned back to Ishihara-kun and asked, "Ishihara-kun." What do you think? Is it possible to fight to the death with the Chinese army? ”

The staff officer stepped forward and replied, "Your Excellency! You can fight! According to reconnaissance, after the siege was lifted, the Chinese army was divided into three parts. They were stationed in Shawon-ri south of Pyongyang, Pyongseong to the north, and Nampo to the west to monitor our troops. And the strength of each part is no more than a group army, that is, about 100,000 people...... And there are more than 200,000 defenders in Pyongyang! You can completely attack and defeat one of them! If you can defeat one, even if the whole army is wiped out, it will be worth it! Please don't hesitate any longer, Your Excellency! ”

As soon as his voice fell, the staff officers around him also echoed him. Now they are besieged in the city of Pyongyang, there is no way to survive if they hold on, the Chinese only need to surround their groups, and starvation can starve hundreds of thousands of them (including expatriates) to death! Therefore, in the eyes of these staff officers, it is better to fight vigorously than to starve to death.

Ishihara also nodded at this time, but as a legendary strategist, he considered the problem more comprehensively. Ishihara strategist pondered and pondered: "Your Excellency, the lower official thinks that this is indeed an opportunity, but he should still consult the country first, after all, this is an extraordinary time, and the national fortunes of the empire are no longer in the hands of our soldiers......"

The surrounding staff officers were in a commotion when they heard this, and just wanted to open their mouths to refute, but Sugiyama Yuan spoke first: "Okay, that's it!" Send a telegram to the military headquarters informing them of the situation here, as well as the request for a decisive battle of the Korean army.

In addition, make a decisive battle plan in the shortest possible time, and the goal is to retreat to the Shina army in Shariwon! If you can't win a single blow, then disperse and break through to the south. ”

The telegram received from the Korean Army Headquarters was quickly sent to the hands of the Minister of War Nagata Tetsuzan and the Chief of Staff of the Army, Prince Kanwon Miyajaehito. At this time, the two leaders of the Japanese Army were arguing over the "decisive operation" for the defense of the homeland.

What Nagata means is that the future of Japan depends mainly on the resistance of the homeland, so the strength of the general defense army and the underground army need to be strengthened! However, Prince Kanin Miyakihito was bent on the new state and relocation plan, and advocated doing everything possible to strengthen the strength of the New Japanese Front, believing that as long as the New Japanese Front could defeat China's Australian Front in future operations, Japan would have hope of salvaging the situation.

However, the attitude of the two people towards the "suicide offensive" plan of the North Korean army is completely the same, that is, it is not allowed! Whether it is a relocation plan or a decisive battle on the mainland, the North Korean army needs to buy time.
