"Your Excellency, Prime Minister Tojo asked about the situation in Mijiang Province. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "A staff officer ran in with a document in his hand, spoke first as soon as he entered the door, and when he finished speaking, he looked up at the situation in the room and was dumbfounded.

Umezu Mijiro took two steps and snatched the telegram, glanced at it at a glance, waved his hand and threw it to the staff officer, "Go and tell Prime Minister Tojo that everything in Manchuria is under my control, and there is no sign of losing control!" ”

The staff officer ran out in despair, but Umezu Mijiro calmed down, "There are signs of loss of control in Manchuria?" Who is this in front of Prime Minister Tojo to slander our Kwantung Army like this? Hmph, the Kwantung Army firmly controlled nineteen provinces and one special city in Manchuria, blocked millions of Red Army troops in Soviet Russia, and also sent dozens of elite standing divisions to the Pacific Theater! ”

"Looking at all the general armies of the Imperial Japanese Army, which one is more brilliant than the Kwantung Army? Which one is more stable than the zone of control of the Kwantung Army? Could it be that it is precisely because of the emergence of a Ren Laifeng and the emergence of a 49th Group Army that the ability of the Kwantung Army should be questioned? ”

"How many rebels are there in the area where the Southern Army is located? Even tens of thousands of U.S. troops are fighting in their jurisdictions, and their situation is not worse than ours? There is also the Chinese Dispatch Army, which has supported the Chinese Dispatch Army in countless large-scale operations, and half of Japan's financial resources have been supported by the Chinese Dispatch Army! The result? After so many years of fighting, the Chongqing government still exists, and millions of Chongqing troops are still fighting! ”

"Your Excellency is right! I myself completely agree with what you say. As soon as the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, Lieutenant General Yukio Kasawara, entered the door, he loudly expressed his support for Umezu Mijiro.

"Kasawara-kun!" Umezu Mijiro also saw Yukio Kasawara. Yukio Kasahara served as chief of staff of the Kwantung Army from 1942, the longest-serving chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, and the best partner and think tank of Umezu Mijiro. Seeing that it was Yukio Kasawara who came in, General Umezu suddenly turned his anger into joy.

"Did you see Prime Minister Tojo's telegram? What should we do? ”

"Your Excellency, although Prime Minister Tojo's accusations are a bit harsh, Ren Laifeng has indeed caused a lot of trouble in Manchuria. We should do something to let Ren Laifeng know who is the master of Manchuria! At the same time, it is also an explanation to His Excellency Tojo in Tokyo. ”

"So what should we do?" Umezu Mijiro put on a picture of humbly seeking advice.

Yukio Kasawara smiled, "General, you are an expert in this area. I'm just giving you a reminder that I can't make up my mind for you on how to act, that will make the mighty Kwantung Army unable to win the battle. However, the special forces I trained have been initially successful and can be put into real combat. ”

The two most powerful men in the Kwantung Army looked at each other and laughed at the same time. A big war has finally begun.

In early May 1944, Umezu Mijiro transferred the 9th Division, which was about to be transferred to the Pacific Theater, to Jiamusi.

In addition, a number of veteran divisions and regiments, such as the Eighth Division and the Twelfth Division, have already received orders to be transferred to the Pacific Theater, and Senior General Umezu is ready to let these divisions and regiments that are about to leave take turns to pull them up and fight with Ren Laifeng.

Stationed in Yubara was the 7th Infantry Wing of the 12th Division, and the wing commander Shohei Shiro Osa. When Tang Datou led dozens of small bandits to Yuyuan County, he was looking for Shohei Shiro.

Shohei Dazuo knew that he was going to the Pacific theater next month, and of course his mind to fight here was not so strong, and he had to preserve enough strength for his troops before going to the South China Sea.

Even Shiro Shohei, who has experienced a hundred battles, is a little worried about the upcoming Pacific battlefield. There are Americans over there, and the ships are strong and the guns are sharp, so it's hard to deal with. Shohei didn't want to lead an exhausted and badly damaged force to the South China Sea.

Hearing that a Chinese army was coming to surrender, Zhaoping Dazuo couldn't believe his ears, did the good news come so suddenly?

When Shohei Dazuo saw this so-called rebel army on the playground, he finally understood why these people had come to join the imperial army. The gang was hungry, and they had nothing to eat, so they came to the Imperial Army to eat. Looking at the yellow-skinned and languishing appearance of these people, I don't know that they haven't eaten a full meal.

Although he instinctively felt disgusted when he looked at the big head in front of the crowd, Shohei still squeezed out a smile that he thought was the gentlest of all. "Welcome, welcome, welcome to join the imperial army and contribute to the construction of the Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere, coexistence and co-prosperity."

Tang Datou saw that the imperial army had a very kind attitude, so he quickly straightened his waist and saluted, "I was serving the imperial army!" "This guy's attitude is quite upright, but the hand he raised next to his head is palm forward, and I don't know which country's salute this guy is saluting.

Of course, Zhaoping Dazuo doesn't care if Tang Datou's salute is not standard, the more non-standard the military salute, the more it means that these people are not spies sent by Ren Laifeng.

In order to show the imperial army's thirst for talent and approachability, Zhaoping Shiro added Tang Datou as the captain of the county guard brigade on the spot, referred to as the captain of the city police brigade, and the forty or fifty people under him were the basic components of the city police brigade. The lack of personnel was recruited by the captain Tang Datou himself, and the imperial army paid military salaries.

Of course, there are also checks and balances that should be in place. In order to prevent Tang Datou from eating empty salaries indiscriminately, Shohei Daisa sent Captain Kawasaki to the City Police Brigade as a military adviser to supervise all the affairs of the City Police Brigade.

The first task after the establishment of the City Police Brigade was to recruit soldiers! Not even the fifty people, obviously far from the imagination of Zhaoping Daisa. Shohei Shiro's target for Captain Kawasaki and Tang Datou was to gather three hundred people, so that they would be able to come in handy during the war. Like now, these 40-odd people are just eating and not working, and they are a waste of food.

The imperial army is generous, and the work has not been done, and everyone has paid fifty yuan for living expenses. When I went to the room, I saw that I was a good guy, with stacks of rice and white noodles, and several jars of marinated meat and sauerkraut. This guy has been eating and drinking enough for half a month.

After eating a full meal, I just wanted to take a nap, when Captain Kawasaki came to the door.

"Tang Jun, send twenty people to recruit troops."

Then send twenty men. Twenty people were divided into two groups, guarding the main streets of the county, east and west, north and south, respectively, posting notices and recruiting troops!

The first morning, people were just sneaking a peek from a distance. In the afternoon, a few of the boys wandered closer and stared at each other, and they asked the city police officer who was guarding the notice what was written on the paper. These boys don't know how to read.
