Chapter 49: King Tak Lunch
The Kwantung Army dispatched 20,000 troops to encircle and suppress the guerrillas in one county, but they were defeated and returned, with a total of more than 2,000 casualties among the officers and men of the Imperial Army! Such big news cannot be hidden. When the casualty figures and retreat reports were sent to Umezu Mijiro, the old devil was furious!
A large-scale battle was fought in the Kannai area, with a total of hundreds of thousands of people on both sides, and the number of Japanese casualties was sometimes only a thousand. But who is the opponent of the Imperial Army? Those are all the units that can be counted in the Chongqing Army, and they are the so-called famous generals leading the male soldiers, can they be compared to the Qinggang County guerrillas?
Umezu Mijiro gave a first-class order, and the front-line commander ran back six overnight. In the conference room of the Kwantung Army Headquarters, General Umezu rewarded each of the six with four big mouths, and asked while rewarding: "Yaga!" Why? Eight grid tooth road! Why is this happening? Yours say! Yours say! ”
He was beaten one by one, and he demanded it one by one, and the six adjutants who were beaten did not dare not say it. So, when General Umezu finally got tired and his hands hurt, all he heard was the sound of six people talking together, like hundreds of flies: buzz, buzz. What the six people said, General Umezu didn't understand a word.
"Eight Tooth Road! Shut up! "Umezu Mijiro is on fire. His roar was quite effective, and the six adjutants of the imperial army were really silent. The six men stood up straight, staring at His Excellency the General to see what he had to say.
"What the hell is going on? Why did it fail? "Umezu Mijiro is a smart man, he immediately figured out the problem from what happened just now, he can't let six people talk together, he has to ask one by one.
Sure enough, the Japanese soldier Shaozo named by him told everything that happened on the battlefield in detail and objectively. After the man finished speaking, Umezu Mijiro's face did not change, and he asked the next one. After the six of them finished speaking one by one, General Umezu slammed the table, "It's a Mongolian!" ”
On the Mongolian side, a pro-Japanese Mongolian Union Autonomous Government has been established, with the capital in Hohhot and King De as the chairman of the autonomous government. Mongolia sent tens of thousands of troops, can King De say that he does not know? The Imperial Army gave you money and guns, and let your people use these guns to fight the Imperial Army?
After Umezu Mijiro sent the six unlucky guys away, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became. In April last year, when King De came to visit Xinjing, Commander Umezu invited him to dinner, and it was only a long time, just over a year, and the Mongolian cavalry had already made his Kwantung Army suffer defeat!
No, you can't let King De just take money and not work. is quite a Mongolian king, and he doesn't do anything for the imperial army, how can there be such a good thing? Umezu Mijiro could be sure that the Mongolian cavalry that came this time was not sent by King Toku, but if King Toku didn't know anything about it, he didn't believe it.
Umezu Mijiro sent a telegram to Shoji Kanai, the top adviser to the government of the autonomous state in Hohhot, asking Kanai Daisa to immediately go to King Toku to protest against the Mongol army's invasion of Manchukuo for no reason! If His Excellency King Germany cannot give a satisfactory answer, the Japanese Kwantung Army will be forced to defend itself and counterattack!
After Shoji Kanai took the telegram, he didn't dare to delay and hurriedly went to King Toku. King Tokuro was having lunch, and when he saw Kanai Shoji coming in, he hurriedly greeted: "Kanai-kun, come quickly." I just had a chef here yesterday, and this is the roast whole lamb he made, and the best mare's milk wine, so let's sit down and try it. ”
If you want to put aside the usual, as soon as you hear about the roasted whole sheep and mare's milk wine, Shoji Kanai can't take care of anything, so you have to sit down and eat a few pieces first. But today he just glanced at the roasted brown leg of mutton, swallowed a mouthful of foam but did not sit down to eat, he raised the telegram draft in his hand: "King De, Your Excellency General Umezu of the Kwantung Army has sent a telegram, do you want to know the content of the telegram?" ”
King Tokumi sat there and looked at Shoji Kanai with winkling eyes, "Daisa Kanei, what do you have to say?" What did Admiral Umezu say on the telegram? ”
"General Umezu asked me to protest to the Mongol Union Autonomous Government on behalf of the Kwantung Army against your unauthorized invasion of Manchukuo. Admiral Umezu said in the telegram that if you don't give a satisfactory answer to the Kwantung Army, the Kwantung Army will be forced to start a self-defense counterattack! ”
"Ahem, ahem." King De coughed violently, and almost didn't come up in one breath. The girl who was waiting in the back hurriedly rubbed his front heart and beat his back, and it took a while for King De to take a breath.
"Kanai Daisa, you have to testify for me. Do you know if I have sent troops or not? I really didn't send troops to invade Manchukuo. The strength of our Mongolian federal self-government is still very weak, where can we go back and invade Manchukuo? If Manchukuo does not come to invade, thank God! Besides, even if I want to invade, I have to have soldiers, how can I invade without soldiers? ”
"Don't you have soldiers? There were no soldiers, where were all those people in the Bailing Temple? ”
King Tokuro felt that Shoji Kanai had a very problematic attitude towards himself today, and he was very unhappy in his heart! King De is a hereditary Mongolian prince, he has been a little prince since birth, and it can be said that no one dares to say a word in front of him. If it weren't for the independence of Mongolia, in order to make him the king of Mongolia himself, how would King De buy the account of the Japanese?
"Humph! Bailing Temple, my people have been wiped out by Fu Zuoyi! I don't know where your imperial army went at that time? I can't see people when I need to help, and I circle around you all day when I don't need to. Kanai-kun, I didn't mean you! ”
King De's whining is also quite blocking. There are other words of his last few words, so that Kanai Shoji can't make a fire.
Shoji Kanai is his own Japanese spy, and he has not been dealing with King De for a day or two, and he knows very well what the temper of this Mongolian prince is. Seeing that King De was angry, Kanai was calm, "Your Royal Highness, don't you know? Just the day before yesterday, 50,000 Mongol troops attacked the imperial army with guerrillas near Qinggang in Binjiang Province! ”
"Huh? Is there such a thing? The look of surprise in his tone revealed that he had not really heard anything about it.
"You don't know where these tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry came from, do you? They certainly won't be sent down by your Immortal Heaven. Don't worry, Umezu has no intention of holding you accountable. Your Excellency the General just wants you to find a way to call those Mongol cavalry back to the steppe. You can always do that, right? ”
Of course, the king has no objection. He knew that the so-called cavalry had been recruited by Sichinbari in his personal name, and that what he said as the king of Germany could sometimes be heard by Sichinbari, so he didn't know if it would work this time.
