Chapter 3: The Wind and Cloud (Eight Tops)

"General Sakai, I ask myself, I have always been loyal to the empire" Hearing Takashi Sakai's tone, it began to soften, and Tao Ketao, who had been servile before, suddenly became aggrieved, his eyes were red, and he emphasized loudly

At this moment, Takashi Sakai's mind was all about how to pick up Kuwabara Araichiro and His Excellency Mizukawa Yve, the deputy head of the Ministry of Public Security, from Gohara Castle, and he didn't notice the resentment in Tao Ketao's words, and without thinking about it, he didn't hesitate to promise loudly, "Haku-kun, Hakura-kun has always been very clear in his heart about the center of the empire, even if you let it go, if there is trouble in the future, I will bear it alone."

"I went east to Japan before I was sixteen years old to learn about the advanced culture of the empire At the age of twenty-two, I went to Japan again at public expense to comprehensively investigate the possibility of transplanting the various systems of the empire to the grassland The sake and cherry blossoms of Tokyo have always been engraved in my memory I am intoxicated by them and I am fascinated by them I look forward to my hometown becoming as clean and beautiful as Tokyo I will not hesitate to pay any price for this " Tauktao did not take Takashi Sakai's stubble and continued to talk to himself loudly with a choked sob, "I contacted the king of Germany for the empire, co-opted horse thieves, instigated rebellion, and gathered information everywhere I even personally assassinated those who refused to conform to the situation I have been in the sea for so many years The money I handle is millions every year But I didn't get a penny into my pocket I supported the mining company that was founded and blossomed all over the grassland But I don't have any equity in my name General, although I'm not Japanese, I'm not Japanese, but I've long tied my fate to the fortunes of the Japanese Empire, but I was Minister of Internal Affairs the year before last, the Minister of Security the year before last, the Minister of Justice last year, and the Senate ...... this year." (Note 1)

As he spoke, he grinned miserably, and two lines of cloudy tears flowed all over his face unconsciously, and now Takashi Sakai finally understood that Tauktao was taking the opportunity to bargain with himself, and his anger rushed straight to his head However, thinking that he was now asking for this person, he had to suppress his anger and comforted him softly: "Bai Jun Bai Jun's contribution to the empire can be seen by anyone with long eyes, but there are times when you should also understand that I have to make some compromises with reality You have just said in person The role of His Royal Highness King De is irreplaceable He fully supported Wu Heling's ascension to the throne, and I could only let Bai Jun make some sacrifices at that time."

"But Bai Jun, please believe that the sacrifice you have made will be rewarded" Without waiting for Tao Ketao to cry out for injustice, Takashi Sakai quickly added loudly, "Put you in the position of senator for the time being, the picture is a free advance and retreat, as long as I solve these troubles in front of me, I will definitely make room for you in the Mongolian and Xinjiang United Autonomous Government."

"I'm not trying to ask the general for an official position," Tao Ketao rubbed his red eyes and whispered, "I just feel that I feel that I am going to trust the bright moon in my heart, who knows that the bright moon shines on the ditch, alas."

Speaking of emotion, it is a long sigh of sorrow, as if to turn the infinite resentment in my heart into a white smoke and erupt

"What should be given, what should be given" Takashi Sakai seemed to be infected by this long sigh He lifted his toes and patted Tao Ketao's back lightly "The empire will not disappoint anyone who has selflessly paid for him Over the years, Bai Jun has suffered too many grievances It's time to make up for it Secretary-General of the Government Council What do you think of this position Just one dean can't handle so many problems I have long wanted to set up another secretary-general position in the Government Council It just happens to be up to you Alas, in fact, the president of the Government Council is more suitable for you I know this very well But now is not the time for Wu Heling to move his position, Bai Jun, I hope you can understand my difficulties."

"I will do my best, and I will never dare to live up to the trust of the general," Tao Ketao immediately burst into tears and smiled, and bowed to Takashi Sakai again with tears on his face and thanked him

Takashi Sakai felt sick in his heart In order to keep his future, he had to continue to make a picture of appreciation, patted Tao Ketao's back and said, "Don't say it so serious, Bai Jun, I already know your ability The affairs of the Government Council are just an aperitif before the meal, and it doesn't take much effort, and when I have the opportunity in the future, I will put a heavier burden on you, and that's when you show your strength."

A heavier burden Above the Secretary-General of the Government Council There are only the President of the Administrative Council and the chairman and vice chairman of the autonomous government The bones in Tao Ketao's body immediately lightened by two-thirds Bend down so that Takashi Sakai can slap with less effort "Rest assured, the general, your subordinates will never let you feel ashamed."

"Okay, good, Bai Jun is worthy of being a talent trained by our Great Japanese Empire, and it is reliable at a critical time" Takashi Sakai praised a few words in a row, and then couldn't wait to turn the conversation back to the topic, "At the moment, this matter must be Bai Jun's departure, you also know that Wuyuan Airport is a temporary take-off and landing point after all, and all the auxiliary facilities are very rudimentary, if Fu Zuoyi's department blows up the runway with artillery, even if I send planes over, it will be difficult to pick people out."

"My subordinates have an old friend who defected in the last battle of Suiyuan and was a brigade commander on Fu Zuoyi's side" Tao Ketao knew that he would not be able to reassure Takashi Sakai after thinking about it and reporting in a very low voice

"You mean An Huating, the commander of the 10th Provisional Division of the National Revolutionary Army" is worthy of an old fox Takashi Sakai immediately matched the number in his heart, his brows jumped, and he asked with a little surprise, "Does he want to come over anyway What conditions did he put forward Promise him Promise him no matter what conditions first?"

"He was born in a reckless body, and he always has a bit of green forest in his bones, Fu Zuoyi treats him well, he can't easily do it anyway" Tao Ketao shook his head and vetoed in a low voice, "However, General Wang Ying is also his old boss, and he used to treat him well back then, if General Wang Ying comes forward, ........"

"Wang Ying, commander of the Suixi Autonomous Alliance, isn't he already defeated, how can I contact him now?" Takashi Sakai's eyebrows jumped again, and he asked Tao Ketao and Ikeda Bingqi, the head of the newspaper team

"General Wang Ying has completely lost contact," Ikeda Bingqi, the head of the telegraph team, thought for a moment and reported truthfully, "His subordinates have ordered the telegraph operator to continue to search for his whereabouts, and if there is a return call, he will send it in immediately."

"It doesn't matter if you don't find it," Tao Ketao, a hardcore traitor, knew far more about the actual situation of the ** squadron at this moment than the Japanese such as Takashi Sakai smiled and explained in a low voice, "At present, there are several brigade commanders serving under General Fu Zuoyi, all of whom defected in the previous Suiyuan Campaign, and they were all Wang Ying's sworn brothers before, and they had been cared for by this person for a long time, so even if General Wang Ying was defeated, there was not a single guard left around him, as long as he was not killed on the spot, there was a chance to escape back."

"What the general needs right now is to find a way to contact An Huating in the name of Wang Ying" He paused deliberately to leave a little time for Takashi Sakai to digest the information Tao Ketao continued: "My subordinates brought your handwritten letter to General An Huating He naturally knows whether General Wang Ying will be dealt with by military law after he returns It all depends on how he does it Every time he lets go of a person from our side, it is equivalent to helping his old boss General Wang Ying accumulate a favor The same is true If you can use this way in exchange for General Wang Ying not being held accountable I believe that several other brigade commanders who had previously defected to Fu Zuoyi would also carefully consider your request."

"Hmm" Takashi Sakai muttered in a low voice, not because he didn't want to let go of the big traitor Wang Ying, but because he felt that Tao Ketao's statement was too unbelievable As a major general and brigade commander of the National Revolutionary Army and the commander of a provisional division, he could still save favors for his old boss who had become an enemy And this kind of behavior was taken for granted Oh my God, what kind of army am I fighting against Even an army with this way of thinking that is still stuck in the sixteenth century can attack cities and seize land from the hands of the Great Japanese Kwantung Army The Kwantung Army of the Great Japanese Empire How far has it done in the midst of foreign power With such a strong team, is it possible for the Japanese Empire to conquer the world? I am afraid that it will be difficult to even move out of Asia

"If the general is worried that the weight of one Wang Ying is not enough, he can also find a way to raise some other hostages" Seeing that Takashi Sakai frowned and never said anything, Tao Ketao thought that the other party was not optimistic about this deal, thought about it, and continued to propose: "I heard that General An Huating's hometown still has two parents and a younger sister at the moment, and the general might as well send people to protect them so that they can be sent out of the country at any time."

The so-called protection of course refers to hijacking, and if you can't win the war, you will hijack the elders of the other party's family to blackmail It's really not a serious soldier's doing, but Takashi Sakai is not a serious soldier in the first place, and the conscience in his heart is also very limited, he thought about it, and nodded lightly, "Well, it's time to send someone to visit the old man's house, although I have long broken off contact with General An, but I have always had some respect for him, but ......"

Frowning, he asked in a low voice again, "What if General An doesn't give in, and if I want to exchange those mineral experts trapped in Wuyuan City, what price does it take?" Bai Jun has a lot of friends, can you help inquire about the market?"

"This" Tao Ketao was a little embarrassed Secretly let Kuwabara Arichiro and Mizukawa Yves two of them To Fu Zuoyi's An Huating and other generals It shouldn't be a big problem Under the pretext that the battlefield search is too careless, let the latter hide in the pile of dead people and escape It is enough to get through the trick But at present, there are more than 300 Japanese mineral experts trapped in Wuyuan City Sensei said that there are more than 300 living people Even if it is replaced by 300 pigs An Huating lost it silently I'm afraid I have to give Fu Zuoyi an explanation

"Why is it that Bai Jun feels embarrassed, just forget it," Takashi Sakai immediately said with a cold face and a very disappointed face

"No, no, no......" Tao Ketao waved his hand again and again, and a large bead of fine and dense sweat instantly oozed from his forehead, "The subordinates are thinking, they are thinking, they have to tie the bell to the bell, and the way is on the ninety-third regiment."

"Ninety-three regiments" Takashi Sakai asked with a confused face

"To the 93rd Regiment," Tao Ketao emphasized loudly, "Haven't you seen it yet, the 93rd Regiment's blitzkrieg attack on Xilin Gol was originally a ruthless move by Fu Zuoyi, in order to disrupt our deployment and share the pressure on the Wuyuan front line for him."

"Of course I can see it, but what does that have to do with the current matter" Sakai Takashi nodded first, then shook his head again, and responded abruptly With Fu Zuoyi's raid on Wuyuan City, many things that originally seemed puzzling before became extremely clear in an instant In fact, as Tao Ketao just said, the Ninety-third Regiment is a slap in Fu Zuoyi's ambush in the Dongmeng Grassland in advance, and no one can think of them in normal times, but at the critical moment, it can play an important role in influencing the overall situation

Their previous blitzkrieg attack on Xilin Gol was to transfer the Japanese army or the Mongolian army on the Wuyuan front line back to defend and create fighters for the main force of Fu Zuoyi's department, and Fu Zuoyi's side even fully understood the resentment that had accumulated in King De's heart for many years, and used the opportunity of this sneak attack on his lair to completely intensify the contradictions, which led to a series of emergency responses by King De's secret collusion with Chongqing and the highest organs of the Kwantung Army in Mongolia

But everyone will put it in hindsight, but it is useless to the current situation If Sakai Takashi knew in advance that Fu Zuoyi would use the opportunity of cleaning up the Mongolian division to launch a counterattack on the whole front, he would have swallowed this breath first anyway Wait for the Kwantung Army's "Fu Seeking Operation" to end, and then go back to settle the account with the Puppet German King And now, even if he sees all the arrangements of Fu Zuoyi clearly, he is powerless to return to the sky The Fu Seeking Operation is completely bankrupt Wang Ying's Suixi Army collapsed The three Mongolian divisions were scattered The 26th Division and the Kojima Cavalry Wing were blocked by Fu Zuoyi's troops, and Gohara Castle was in danger The fate of the newly gilded deputy head of the security department, Mizukawa Yve, and the head of the secret service, Kuwabara Araichiro, was uncertain

"The 93rd Regiment has been in the limelight enough in Chongqing with this battle," Tao Ketao deliberately delayed for a while, until Takashi Sakai's face began to turn cold again, and then added in a low voice, "You said, if you mobilize troops and horses to block this regiment on the Dongmeng grassland, will Chongqing feel that it has been slapped in the face, and if you lose such a brave and combative A regiment, will Fu Zuoyi feel distressed as if he was stabbed with a knife?"

"You mean, give up rescuing Gohara Castle and go all out to eliminate the Ninety-Third Regiment " Takashi Sakai looked like he had eaten too much opium, and his eyes were full of green light

"You don't have to go all out" Tao Ketao nodded and responded with a smile, "The 93rd Regiment is just a regiment, how can you use all your strength to deal with them, right now it is on the Dongmeng side and continue to rush over there There are already three brigades of the Hung Yen Garrison Command, the Kawada Brigade, and the three divisions of the Mongolian Army, and the strength has exceeded them by more than twice the strength If you can combine several troops and horses in one place, completely annihilate the 93rd Regiment, and capture the main cadres among them, I think he is willing to exchange anyone with Fu Zuoyi."

"I'll transfer the Morikawa United team too," Takashi Sakai quickly decided, "As long as the other teams don't behave too badly, when the Morikawa United team arrives, they can be crushed ."

"Morikawa United" This time, it was finally Tao Ketao's turn to be stunned, his eyes widened, and his face was full of disbelief The 93rd Regiment was brave and good at fighting, but it was only a Class A regiment of the National Revolutionary Army, and the Morikawa Wing was a first-line mixed wing of the Kwantung Army, with a total strength of nearly 4,000 people, which was equivalent to a main brigade of the National Revolutionary Army

"They must be wiped out cleanly and completely," Takashi Sakai's face instantly became very unnatural, and then forcibly pretended not to understand what Tao Ketao meant, and explained with a smile, "At present, there is also a guerrilla force of the Eighth Route Army that is fighting together with the 93rd Regiment, and those people are the best at wandering around, as long as they find that the situation is not in their favor, they will quickly turn into pieces and disappear without a trace, and the 93rd Regiment and their partners for a long time will inevitably be affected by some influence, so either they will not take action, or they will simply mobilize heavy troops once and for all, so as not to break them up." Turned into a few small groups of troops and continued to cause trouble for the Imperial Army everywhere."

"General Gao Ming" Tao Ketao's strength was not in the military aspect in the first place After listening to Takashi Sakai's explanation, he immediately applauded loudly However, deep down, he felt more and more apprehensive A mixed wing to attack a regiment of the National Revolutionary Army Around it, the Xing'an garrison, the Kwantung Army's nearby garrison troops, and three Mongolian cavalry divisions were to cooperate with it Isn't this a knife to kill chickens When did the National Revolutionary Army become so powerful I thought that at the beginning, but a brigade of the Kwantung Army could beat their division and flee

This confusion made him so disturbed that he did not listen to what Takashi Sakai said later, but he just took the handwritten letter to An Huating from the other party in a daze as he had previously proposed, and then took the senator's car back to his office in a daze, and sat in the light that was flickering because the voltage was not stable enough, and his eyes were confused

It's already late March, and the weather is beginning to pick up faster, and the wind also brings a faint dampness However, this moisture passes through the woolen coat It makes Tao Ketao feel cold all over his body A mixed wing to fight a regiment A mixed wing to fight a regiment The Kwantung Army is stationed on the grassland There are only a few mixed wings in total If Fu Zuoyi has a few more all-Soviet armored regiments like the Ninety-third Regiment under his command, then the world will ...... in the future?

"Uncle, what's wrong with you, do you need to call the doctor to come over" Tao Ketao's personal guards were selected from his own family According to his seniority, I want to call him Uncle Xiao Finding that his performance was abnormal, he couldn't help but lean forward and asked in a low voice

"Ah" Tao Ketao was frightened for a moment, instantly relieved, and shook his head vigorously, "No, you don't have to go, I'm a little tired, just sit for a while, you go downstairs and call Huazi in, just say that I have a task to give to him."

"Yes, uncle," the guard agreed, and walked away with a face full of concern, and after a while, the sound of the stairs sounded, and his henchman, Bao Lihua, hurriedly walked up to the door, first whispered "report", and then quickly pushed the door open, walked quickly to the desk, and stretched out his palm towards his forehead

"I don't have a fever, don't mess around," Tao Ketao slapped the other party's hand crookedly, and explained angrily, "I'm just a little tired, tired, do you understand?"

"Is the master worried about the war on the other side of Wuyuan?" Bao Lihua looked like a tiger, but his mind was very careful, and after a little consideration, he guessed Tao Ketao's troubles

"How do you know that there is a war on the Wuyuan side" Tao Ketao was stunned for a moment, instinctively asked, and then quickly added, "How do you know that I am worried about the war on the Wuyuan side, don't think about it if you have nothing to do, I am not a soldier, and the battle in Wuyuan City is lively, what does it matter to me?"

Bao Lihua smiled and automatically ignored the second half of Tao Ketao's cover-up, "The office building under your feet is full of the most prominent people in the whole grassland, and you can know any news for the first time.

"Just guess it, don't say it, you know, disaster comes from the mouth," Tao Ketao raised his head and glared at him, and whispered, "I came to you to ask you to take someone to escort me to a place, not too many people, one platoon is enough, all wear civilian clothes, ride on horses, and set off in the middle of the night today."

"Where are you going?" Bao Lihua immediately became nervous, looked around, and asked cautiously

"You don't have to worry about asking so much for what to do, hurry down and get ready, let everyone bring enough dry food for five days, and when you get outside the city, I will naturally tell you the destination," Tao Ketao glared at him again, emphasizing with a serious face

Bao Lihua is also an old man who has followed him from birth to death for many years Hearing this, he became more and more convinced that this task was extraordinary, and he agreed cleanly, "Yes", turned around, and walked out of the door, but suddenly turned back, looked around, looked carefully, lowered his voice, and said: "Master, the villain has a few words, I don't know whether to say it or not!"

"Say, what are you doing with these tricks between us, are you in love with someone's girl, or are you short of money to spend Hurry up, don't delay the business," Tao Ketao was really a little unhappy this time, frowned, and ordered in a deep voice

"The little one heard someone say this afternoon that Japan and the Japanese Taijun lost this battle" Bao Lihua smiled awkwardly, lowered his head very low, and his voice was also weak, "The little one also heard that this big battle was provoked by Fu Zuoyi on his own initiative, and the troops invested by the two sides are not much different, and it is basically one-on-one."

"It's not necessarily that he lost, it's just that he has suffered a little setback at the moment" As a hardcore traitor, Tao Ketao still has to cover up a thing or two for the Japanese on his head After thinking about it, he hesitated to respond, "As for who provoked the war, they are right, it was Fu Zuoyi who attacked Baotou first last winter, and then our side decided to send troops to attack him after the beginning of spring As for the strength of both sides, what to say Fu Zuoyi's side is all the main force Our side happened to be in time recently Kuroda Division and Kojima Wing have retreated to rest and recuperate Blocking the front There are only Wang Ying's Suixi Army and a few Mongolian cavalry divisions left, at best, plus a half-wing Japanese garrison in Wuyuan City, in fact, Fu Zuoyi's department is still bullying more and less What's the matter, why do you care about these things?"

"Small, small, ....." Bao Lihua looked left and right, as if he was very embarrassed in his heart, but thinking that Tao Ketao had always treated him like a guest over the years, and couldn't watch him continue to run towards a desperate road, he gritted his teeth and resolutely said: "The little one still remembers that seven years ago, when the Japanese army attacked Chengde, it was just a cavalry squadron, and the ** people in the two divisions guarding Chengde were beaten to the ground and fled."

"Hmm" Tao Ketao nodded, and his face immediately swelled with emotion, "That battle was a joke, Wan Fulin's two divisions almost didn't fire a shot, and they were scattered, hey, now that I think about it, I still feel ashamed for them."

"Yes, although that battle is none of the business," Bao Lihua sighed in a low voice, and then continued to whisper: "Three years ago, I accompanied you to Taiyuan to visit the Japanese Taijun, at that time, Fu Zuoyi's two brigades couldn't hold out enough for a whole day in front of a wing of the Japanese Taijun, and as soon as the sun set, he secretly gave up his position, and even the corpses of the war dead did not bother to restrain ."

"Hmm" Tao Ketao continued to nod his head, admitting that what his henchman Bao Lihua said was all the truth In the Battle of Taiyuan, Fu Zuoyi's troops were one of the few armies that could maintain their integrity and withdraw under the attack of the Japanese army, but they were only able to retreat calmly, and they had no strength to fight back At all, as for the other Jin Sui armies, they were simply defeated like a mountain, and even Wei Lihuang's army, which was equipped with German weapons, was also defeated by the Japanese

"Alas, it's only been a few years, Fu Zuoyi actually dared to take the initiative to call out the Japanese, and he could still win, alas, I really can't imagine it," Bao Lihua sighed again, and said faintly, The voice was very low, but it was like a muffled thunder, and Tao Ketao's body shook, and his face turned pale

Note 1: There have always been several different factions in the puppet Mongolian Xinjiang Autonomous Government, and the struggle between each other is very serious, among them, the struggle between the Meiri faction headed by Tao Ketao and the Dewang faction led by Wu Heling is the most intense

Note 2: The Battle of Wuyuan was divided into three parts: the Baotou Victory, the Suixi Defensive Battle, and the Wuyuan Victory, which lasted four and a half months, although the main ones annihilated were the puppet Suixi Army of the traitor Wang Ying and the puppet Mongolian cavalry under the command of the Mengthorn King De, and only about two or three thousand Japanese soldiers were killed, but this battle was the initiative of Fu Zuoyi's troops to attack, and it began with a great victory, and then turned over with a great victory, which opened a precedent for the squadron above the scale of the anti-Japanese battlefield division to take the initiative to seek battle, and had a great impact on the entire course of the War of Resistance Some even believe that this battle was a turning point in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression Since then The National Revolutionary Army began to have the courage to carry out local counter-offensives, instead of the occasional victory or two in defensive counterattacks, as it had been the case before
