Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Polemic
Tu Feiyuan was obviously singing about the empty city plan in his stomach, but looking at the rice balls and canned food presented by his subordinates, he had no appetite at all. In the binoculars, he saw the wonderful performance of the Akita United, and the first line of defense of the Cadet Division had been captured, but he was not in a happy mood at all.
The eight "Quirrells" have all been reimbursed, but the casualties of the cadet division are not as large as expected. None of this is fatal, and the point is that the cadet division shows no signs of a rout. Once invincible, an invincible scene everywhere he went did not appear, so the next battle must be earned by the emperor's warriors with flesh and blood, but God knows whether this battle can be won.
He has seen a lot of Chinese troops, and although the Zhilu Dao Soldier Division is a team that has inherited the tradition of the 29th Army, he was still surprised by the fighting spirit and the quality of the soldiers shown by the Cadet Division. He even had some doubts, were the soldiers in the army opposite really Chinese? When did the once weak Shina soldiers become so strong.
Kawabe Shozo stood beside him, and out of politeness, he did not dine alone, but dutifully took the binoculars and glanced at the position of the cadet. After a while, he said, "The Akita Wing has started to eat, and after that, they are going to launch a general attack on the Cadet Division, right?" ”
Tu Feiyuan frowned slightly, then gritted his teeth and asked a cronie next to him: "Is there any news from Beiping?" ”
The cronie shook his head. At this moment, a cloud of dust rose not far away, and a fast horse and a man approached quickly. Immediately, the Japanese soldier in charge greeted him, and after a while, the Japanese soldier gave a military salute and let the knight go.
The sound of horses' hooves approached, and he came to the side of Tu Feiyuan and the others, and a few Japanese soldiers greeted him. Tsuchihara turned his head to look and saw that it was Junko Sakuya sitting right away, his brows furrowed a little, and he said loudly, "Let her come." ”
Junko Sakuya ran over and shouted as she approached, "Chief, Kawabe General," and then dismounted, handed the reins to a Japanese soldier, and walked over herself.
Tu Feiyuan asked her: "Is there any news from Beiping?" ”
Junko Sakuya looked around, saw that Dohihara nodded, and she said, "Pan Yugui has returned from Nanjing," and then took out a letter from her close-fitting shirt and handed it to him.
Tu Feiyuan took it, unfolded it and looked at it, with a smile on his face. After folding it and putting it in his pocket, he said to Kawabe Shozo: "General Kawabe, it seems that if you want to break the Wen'an deadlock, you must have to work." ”
The riverside Zhengsan stood solemnly, and Zhengse said, "The acting commander-in-chief, please give the order." ”
"Feng Zhi'an is willing to borrow the way, so the general will lead the men and horses of the headquarters from Tianjin to Bazhou first, and then attack Xiongxian from Bazhou."
"Do you want to go back to Tianjin first? Why don't you drive directly from here," Kawabe Shozo said, looking at the mound and rocky defense line that the Cadet had painstakingly built.
Tu Feiyuan shook his head and said: "Ouyang Yun focused his defense on Wen'an, he would never have thought that we could actually borrow from Feng Zhi'an, if we put the attack time after nightfall, we would definitely be able to catch them off guard." Their troops in Xiongxian County are only one regiment, and this number of men and horses, the general of the river should be able to defeat them in one fell swoop, right? ”
"I see, then I'll go and prepare now."
Tu Feiyuan nodded and advised: "We still have to rely on Feng Zhi'an and the 29th Army now, please restrain your subordinates and don't let them disturb the people." ”。
The three "Hai" sounded by the riverside, and led the people of the headquarters to move in the direction of Tianjin. In his opinion, this is an opportunity to wash away the previous insults.
When the river was far away, Junko Sakuya approached Dohihara and said, "Your Excellency, the conditions offered by the Nanjing side this time are not low, and they demand that Ouyang Yun's pharmaceutical factory be moved to Nanjing after the war. ”
Tu Feiyuan Ha Lu Ha said with a smile: "They just want the pharmaceutical factory and don't mention the important person, so we will give them all the equipment and machinery as they wish." With talents who have mastered pharmacology, are we still afraid that we will not be able to build a pharmaceutical factory? ”
Junko Sakuya smiled when she heard this, "My subordinates think so too. ”
Tu Feiyuan didn't know what Lu Dao remembered, and asked with a straight face: "Have you heard the news of Zhao Dengyu's 132nd Division in Beiping?" ”
I heard that Feng Zhi'an sent someone to contact Zhao Dengyu, as if he wanted him to support him to become the commander of the 29th Army, but Zhao Dengyu did not give a clear answer. Chief, Zhao Dengyu's department is now far away in Handan, and there has been no transfer recently, he just wants to help Ouyang Yun even if he wants to come, right? ”
"Not really. When you came to Tianjin, did the 37th Division show signs of transfer? ”
"Yes, two regiments of the 37th Division are moving in the direction of Langfang, under the banner of holding military exercises."
Tu Feiyuan smiled, his face was much more relaxed, and said: "In this way, Feng Zhi'an really wants to be the commander of the 29th Army." Fortunately, among the four people Zhang Zizhong, Feng Zhi'an, Liu Ruming, and Zhao Dengyu, in the Chinese proverb, Zhang and Zhao are the smelly and hard stones in the pit. Although Feng Zhi'an also kept shouting about resisting Japan, he was much more sleek than those two after all. Junko! ”
"Huh?"
"You send someone to keep an eye on the 132nd Division and Zhao Dengyu, and besides, that Zhang Weifan and Tong Linge keep an eye on me, these two people have always been extremely hostile to our Japanese Empire, Tong Linge and Zhao Dengyu have a life-and-death relationship, and they must not be allowed to form a tandem."
Junko Sakuya nodded and said that it was written.
"You go back to Beiping, discuss with Takahashi Tan if there is any situation, and when Chief of Staff Sakai comes back, I will let him go to Beiping to preside over the overall situation."
Seeing off Junko Sakuya, Dohihara confidently followed the artillery team to Nakano's command post.
Naozo Nakano had just finished talking to Takaki on the phone and gave a new combat order. He ordered Gao Shujia on the phone that he must capture the second line of defense of the Cadet Division in one go, and then he would use the 132nd Wing to replace the Akita Wing and launch an attack on Wen'an, deciding to capture Wen'an before dark.
"Major General Nakano, hard work!" Doihara said to Nakano with a smile, and then gave a military salute.
Nakano Pi smiled and returned a military salute and said, "The acting commander-in-chief is here." ”
"What's the situation now? The first line of defense of the people of China has been broken through. ”
Nakano introduced the order he had just issued to Tohihara, and then said confidently: "Your Excellency, please be patient, we must be able to enter Wen'an before dark, and when the time comes, I will invite you to drink on the upper floor of the north gate of Wen'an." ”
"The commander of the Nakano Brigade seems to be very confident, but it seems that the 'Quirrell' we can rely on has all been scrapped. Without Quirrell', is the brigade commander prepared to trade the lives of His Majesty's most loyal warriors for victory? Tu Feiyuan asked unceremoniously.
The co-captain of the 132nd Wing, Akiei Daisa, stood aside, and with the same psychology as his boss, Eiro also looked down on Dohihara, who was born as a spy, and felt that there was something wrong with Nanjiro's appointment this time. His idea is very simple, can a person with a background in intelligence know how to arrange troops to attack fortifications? Hearing such an unceremonious interrogation from Tohihara, his face turned red, and he took the lead in asking: "Your Excellency, the honor of our Imperial Japanese Army was originally bought with blood and life by the warriors of His Majesty the Emperor. Why, do you think that without Quirrell, we won't be able to defeat the China? ”
Tu Feiyuan glanced at Hai Lao with disdain, and then looked at Nakano intently.
Nakano glared at Hai Lao sternly, and shouted: "Presumptuous, how can you talk to His Excellency the Organ Commander like this, don't you know that Lu Dao is the commander-in-chief of this battle?" Don't apologize yet? ”
Hai Lao hurriedly bowed his head and admitted his mistake and asked for forgiveness from Tufei. Nakano took the opportunity to say: "Your Excellency, as a pure soldier, it is inevitable that you will speak a little more directly, and I ask for your forgiveness." He shouted to Hai Lao: "When I talk to the head of the agency, where is it your turn to interject, and you won't let me go back to the headquarters." ”
"Hello!" Hai Lao replied loudly, bowed and bowed.
Nakano glanced at Tsuchihara and saw that he had an unfathomable smile on his face, and he felt very uncomfortable, and said, "Your Excellency, what Hai Lao Zuo said just now actually has a certain amount of truth, the prestige of our Imperial Army was bought by the warriors of His Majesty the Emperor with blood and life. Some time ago, I heard a rumor that Ouyang Yun actually said that we were nothing without planes, tanks, and artillery. I've long wanted to fight him without relying on these three sharp weapons, and now that the flying squadron can't fight, and 'Quirrell' has lost everything, I personally feel that this is the time for our army to re-establish its martial power. I want to let those arrogant people know that without planes, tanks, and artillery, our Imperial Japanese Army can still defeat them, and our name as the second strongest army in the world is not boasted. ”
"Really?" Tu Feiyuan intended Shuwei to wash his reputation as a layman in the war this time, and said with a smile: "What the brigade commander just said makes sense, but what I want to ask is, are you really sure that you can fight Wen'an before sunset?" The soldiers on the other side may not be as good as us in terms of tactical literacy and combat experience, but from the hand they used to deal with 'Quirrell' just now, they are a group of madmen who don't want to die. In the face of such an enemy, how many lives of the emperor's warriors were prepared to be paid by the brigade commander to defeat them? ”
Tsuchihara was telling the truth, and recalling the scene he saw in the telescope, Nakano's face became ugly. Then he asked rhetorically: "According to the meaning of the director, if you are afraid of sacrifice, then Wen'an will not fight?" ”
"Wen'an naturally wants to fight, but we don't necessarily have to fight Wen'an. You must know that there is more than one place controlled by the Renqiu government now......"
