After receiving the telegram from Wei Chong, Bai Shujie couldn't believe it: "What? He Yingqin, the old fox, was so happy that he agreed to send the two mongrels Yin Rugeng and Pan Yugui over? ”

"Report!"

At this moment, Xiao Lamei came in with excitement on her face and said: "Big brother, Gubeikou, Huangyaguan, Xifengkou, Shentouling, and Majiazi Fortress have sent telegrams, saying that the little devils on the front have suddenly stopped attacking!" That is to say, at half past ten this morning, there were no more gunshots on the battlefields around the entire Rehe Province! ”

"What? What do you say? ”

Bai Shujie grabbed the telegram, and sure enough, there were several of them, and he quickly browsed them, and was dumbfounded: "The enemy in front of the Shentouling Fortress retreated two kilometers and did not continue to fire. Zhang. The cavalry artillery wing in front of the fortress retreated three kilometers, not knowing what to do. Hou Zide. The shelling of Kiminekou has stopped, and I don't know what Tada wants to do. Blue celery. ”

The news of the truce on the front line immediately alarmed the entire headquarters, and Zhao Jinxi, Gan Tong, and Lu Ming came over to inquire about the reason. Even Cao Fengxiang, governor of Rehe Province, and Zhao Meiyan, head and political commissar of the Xiongxian Independent Regiment, rushed to the headquarters two hours later.

"Don't look at me like that, the little devils all stopped attacking at the same time, this thing is true, but it has nothing to do with me!" Bai Shujie saw that everyone was staring at him, and he had to quickly explain: "As for the little devil, Weishenme will be so consistent this time, there must be a reason for this." ”

"Regardless, we can't afford to take it lightly. I think it is necessary to immediately order the front-line combat troops, to maintain combat alert twenty-four hours a day, to prevent the machinations of the little devils. At the same time, take advantage of this rare opportunity to put our reserve liliang together and prepare for a more complex situation! ”

Xiao Lamei broke in again: "Report, Wei Chong's urgent telegram!" ”

Bai Shujie saw that all the people in the headquarters were the top core figures in Rehe Province, and there was no need to read the telegram one by one, so he shouted softly: "Read! ”

"Commander-in-Chief: Yin Rugeng and Pan Yugui have arrived in Langfang and can go to Chengde at any time. After consultation with the Beiping side, they were allowed to go north from Gubeikou. Please instruct on how to deal with it, how to arrange the route, and the restrictions on the number of people accompanying you. Wei Chong. ”

It turned out that after Yin Rugeng learned the news from He Yingqin that Bai Shujie wanted to contact the Japanese, in order to ask for merit and reward, after he returned to his residence, he hurriedly sent a top-secret telegram to Kenji Tohihara, the head of the Tianjin secret service.

In the telegram, Yin Rugeng thought about how hard he had worked and how he finally got in touch with Bai Shujie after hard work. At present, he is preparing to take a trip to Chengde, and he wants to use his three-inch tongue to speak the lotus flower, and say that Bai Shujie will return to the empire and be willing to be a pawn for the great cause of common prosperity in Greater East Asia.

Did Kenji Dohihara believe it? How is that possible!

However, this time the seven-way siege lasted for more than half a month, and the empire spent a lot of ammunition, but it did not achieve the size of the achievement, but made the imperial warriors tired. Now that Yin Rugeng and Pan Yugui have the opportunity to enter Chengde, there is also a possibility after all.

The imperial warriors are exhausted, are Bai Shujie's soldiers just iron?

As long as you are a person, there are times when you are tired, and when you are tired, you have to take a break. Even if the negotiations are not successful, it is nothing, and the siege for so long will require appropriate adjustments. It would be great if we could negotiate a solution.

Because of this, Kenji Dohihara sent Yin Rugeng's telegram with his own judgment to the Kwantung Army Commander's Headquarters.

An hour later, Kenji Dohihara received a call back from the commander's headquarters: "If Bai Shujie is willing to serve the empire, he can be promised the post of commander-in-chief of the three armies of Manchukuo, and awarded the rank of lieutenant general, and the troops under his command can be reorganized into four divisions." is still the governor of Rehe Province, there is no need to change defense areas, as long as the Eighth Division enters Luanping County and is stationed! As a sign of sincerity, there will be a ceasefire on all fronts at half past nine tomorrow morning. ”

Kenji Dohihara didn't expect the commander's headquarters to be in such a hurry, so he didn't hesitate and forwarded this telegram to Yin Rugeng as a basis for negotiations.

Bai Shujie didn't know what the little devil was thinking. But with the keen eye of a soldier, he also found some clues.

Because he knew Yin Rugeng and Pan Yugui well, and Tatian Jun was willing to let them out of the Gubeikou passage, Bai Shujie quickly understood: "These two guys are self-righteous, thinking that Lao Tzu invited them over as lobbyists!" In that case, it's better to take what you need and take what you need! ”

"Lamei records the order!" Bai Shujie did not discuss with the others present, and directly dictated an order: "Wei Chong's headquarters dispatched Zou Baoyin's second battalion to form an escort team, escorted the guests to Chicheng and handed them over to Shao Jianzhang, and then took on the defense of Chicheng." The other troops of the Rao'an Independent Regiment immediately withdrew and retreated to Jinghai County to wait for the next order, and Dong Guoqiang and the other two regiments could be put back. ”

"The original task of forming the Cangzhou Independent Regiment must be carried out as soon as possible, and at the same time, extensive spring conscription work must be carried out on the front lines of Raoyang, Anping, Hejian, and Renqiu. Village and town administrative organs must be further improved, and spring plowing within their jurisdictions must be further strengthened. In addition, taking advantage of this harvest, we have widely purchased grain grains as strategic reserves. The heavy equipment you need will be received in Akagi in the future. This order, Bai Shujie. ”

After this telegram was sent, Bai Shujie negotiated with several giants about the defense of Fengning and Akagi: "Ladies and gentlemen, our defense area has been further expanded, and our troops have become more tense. Now, in Guyuan, at the junction of the northern border of Chicheng, there are more than 10,000 miscellaneous armed men under Li Shouxin's department. The core of this unit is more than 1,500 people of the former Fengtian Independent Cavalry Regiment of the Northeast Army, who were captured by us. ”

"The northwest of Chicheng already belongs to Chahar, and it directly meets with the sixth division of the little devils. Previously, Chen Jie came with news that the little devil's seventh division landed in Dalian and then took a train to Tongliao. I thought that this group of enemies would participate in the attack on Chifeng, but I didn't expect that the day before yesterday Hou Zide telegraphed that this seventh division would go all the way west. ”

"Judging from the current situation, this Seventh Division is going to Guisui to take over the defense, and let the Sixth Division return to the island for rectification. In this sense, we were in a stalemate with the cavalry artillery wing of the 4th Brigade of the Independent Cavalry south of Kailu, in fact, we were fooled, and the little devils should be worried that we would ambush the 7th Division on the way! ”

Therefore, the Sixth Division's position on the Zhangbei front line was nothing more than a false shot. That is, to scare Zhao Dengyu's 132nd Division before retreating, so that they would not dare to act rashly. Therefore, this is an opportunity for us to seize the time to complete the deployment of the front line of Fengning and Chicheng when the Seventh Division is not yet familiar with the defense area. Regarding the specific matters related to the formation of the Akagi Independent Division, Jin Xi and Gan Tong were in charge. Lu Ming is responsible for the coordination of the various theaters. ”

"Governor Cao still has to do a good job in logistics, especially the placement of the wounded. In addition, Sheng Zhiguo and Qin Yuefang were notified to prepare to receive distinguished guests. Sheng Zhiguo was responsible for coming forward to make all the little devils see Yin Rugeng and Pan Yugui inspecting! As everyone knows, these two guys are inciting autonomy in North China everywhere. So the rest is Qin Yuefang's business, anyway, these two people don't want to go back to Beiping to make trouble and betray the country. ”

After arranging work for everyone, Bai Shujie locked himself up again. The situation was very delicate and he had to think about it holistically.

The little devil used Yin Rugeng and Pan Yugui to come over to fight sloppily, and he must have thought of killing two birds with one stone. If Lao Tzu surrenders, the little devil will get Rehe without blood; If Lao Tzu is not fooled, the little devil also wants to use these two miscellaneous pieces to make Lao Tzu neglect his precautions, and then suddenly give Lao Tzu a guy.

Bai Shujie is well aware of the despicable habits of the little devil, and what he needs to pay attention to now is that the pressure on Tongliao has not been resolved, and the goal of recovering the Kulun Banner has not been achieved. The Black Mountain's Second Devil Wing did not bargain, but was killed by the heavy artillery of Shentouling. The Eighth Division in Jinzhou has not moved, are they also ready to go back to rectify and repair?

There are so many people under Duotian Jun, this time he couldn't steal chickens, and he was killed by Chen Junda almost a brigade, Wei Chong almost killed a brigade around Tianjin, and an infantry wing of the Tianjin garrison army has been reduced by half, and it will not be able to turn over any Lang flowers for the time being in the future.

Especially this Seventh Division, Bai Shujie is very familiar with it! If the little devil's fourth division is a "merchant nest division", then this seventh division is a "mongrel disaster star division"!

Now the division commander of the 7th Division should be called Miyotaro Sugihara. It has four infantry wings, one cavalry wing, one field artillery wing, and one engineer wing, the 25th (Sapporo), the 26th (Asahikawa), the 27th (Asahikawa), and the 28th (Asahikawa). In addition, the division and regiment headquarters, field hospitals, and communication brigades have a total strength of more than 22,000 people.

Those who are familiar with the formation of the little devil's army know that each division of the little devil has its own fixed area for replenishing troops. In other words, where this division is formed, this place is the area where his troops are replenished.

Moreover, before the "77 Incident", the number of the little devil's supplementary division and the front-line combat division was the same, but "100" was added in front of the number. For example, the supplementary division of the 2nd Division is the 102nd Division. The supplementary division of the 7th Division is the 107th Division. The same goes on for other divisions.

The parent body of the 7th Division was the Tuntian Soldiers in Hokkaido, which was established in 1885 under the Tuntian Soldiers Regulations. The Tuntian soldiers were responsible for the development of Hokkaido and the defense of the north. Cultivating and farming in peacetime; If there is a war, a half-peasant and half-soldier army that will be engaged in battle.

Unlike the previous 6 divisions, it was very late to be reorganized into divisions. In 1896, after the First Sino-Japanese War, it was officially reorganized into the Seventh Division. The subordinate wings were recruited and supplemented from the four wing districts of Sapporo, Asahikawa, Hakodate, and Kushiro.

However, at that time, Hokkaido's population was very sparse, and sometimes if a wing could not be recruited in the wing area, the Tohoku region (Aomori, Iwate, Yamagata, etc.) had to replenish the insufficient manpower. This situation lasted until the outbreak of the "77 Incident" at Lugou Bridge, so the 7th Division was also called the "Hybrid Division".

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
