Chapter 547: The Puppet Army of Intrigues
It's just that Wang Tieshi, who is quite calm and cunning by nature, knows that he can't offend the Japanese too much at the moment, so he quickly calmed down. After stopping a few henchmen who were about to draw their guns, he said to the Japanese squad leader and the Japanese advisers in the two puppet armies: "Ono-kun, why are you angry. ”
"You Taijun jade is broken in Pingchuan, and I don't want to see it. But before this battle, we also advised you to withdraw to us for the time being. But you princes are unwilling to withdraw to us and insist on staying in the Great Temple, and we can't do anything. According to the regulations of the imperial army, without the permission of the captain of the Hubei military police, my troops could not enter the temple. ”
"The Eighth Route attacking Pyongchon this time was a regiment of the Eighth Route equipped with a large number of mortars and flat artillery. I have so many troops stationed in Pingchuan, how can I resist. You can go and take a look at the fortifications destroyed by the eight-way artillery fire outside and in my headquarters, and you will know that what I said is not wrong. ”
"And if it weren't for the fact that some people were only interested in reaping benefits, they were slow to move when the Imperial Army needed them. The reinforcements were slow, and it took such a long time to arrive at such a small distance, and I don't think the battle situation would deteriorate like this. These dozen or so Taijun may not be able to take it all in. ”
"But it's too late to say anything now, and since it's happened, we have to find a way to solve it. Rough action will not solve the problem. Ono-kun, if I don't believe what I said, you can ask Nakamura-kun, who has been with us all the time, if I tried my best. ”
Wang Tieshi played very skillfully, not only exaggerating the strength of the Eighth Route, but also pushing almost all the responsibility on the puppet army that came to reinforce with just a few words. The straight-line distance from Hubei County to Pingchuan is not far, but it took such a long time for reinforcements to arrive. Among them, Wang Tieshi doesn't need to think about it to know what's going on.
It's nothing more than their own allies, hoping that after a fierce fight between themselves and the attacking Eight Routes, they will be able to profit from it. The greater the loss of their own strength, the better it will be for them. Maybe these guys even wish they were here to die together, so that they could reap the greater good.
Pingchuan is the gateway to curb the mountainous areas of northeast Hubei, connecting Ludong and Jinzhong in the north, and connecting with the mountains and rivers in the Huguan area in the south. The traffic conditions extending in all directions, coupled with the fact that it is surrounded by the Taihang Mountains on three sides, are the main entry and exit channels for mountain goods in the Taihang Mountains. At the same time, it sits in the rich area of the grain-producing plain in the western part of Hubei.
In addition, since the Japanese came, the special industry that developed abnormally here is abnormal. A large number of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean brothels, plus gambling houses and large smoke houses, make Pingchuan quite wealthy at the moment. The current population and prosperity even exceed Hubei County to a certain extent.
Its east, west and north three cards, the annual tax that can be collected is more than ten times that of Hubei County. Coupled with the large number of brothels, gambling houses and opium smoke houses in the town, the secret income brought is even more incalculable. It can be said that whoever controls Pingchuan controls the main financial resources in Hubei.
If you add those things that are not seen in private, a year's income is even enough to feed a division. How many people will be blushing in such a place. From the original Jinnan National Salvation Army to the current independent security division directly under the puppet Shanxi government, isn't that one eyeing Pingchuan? Even the Second Front Army in Nanjing, isn't it always eyeing the tiger?
Wang Tieshi clearly knew that this friendly army had defected to the Japanese, and after being transferred to the Ludong area to garrison, he had repeatedly asked to change guards with his own garrison, just to take over this anointed place. If it weren't for the fact that he went to the headquarters of the First Army every year, those officers who could hardly fill it would never have stuffed a large sum of money into their pockets.
The antiques obtained after the more than a dozen Ming Dynasty county tombs and a large number of high-ranking officials and dignitaries in Ludong were stolen and excavated by themselves, except for being resold to Shanghai and Tianjin, most of the rest were stuffed into the hands of those greedy Japanese officers. Under the persecution of all sides, he has already fucking moved his nest.
What a bullshit imperial army, it's just a wolf and greedy. As long as they are targeting, they must get their hands on it. One by one, I don't even know that a vase is from that era, so I know that these antiques are very valuable. I went to Tianjin, Beiping, and Shanghai, and I could sell it at a good price.
These guys even dared to use Japanese military trains and military vehicles to transport antiques and tobacco to Beiping and Tianjin. In broad daylight, heavy troops were sent to rob and excavate ancient tombs. Not only do they have to send antiques, but they also have to pay a high price for the tatters they don't know where they robbed them, which are actually worthless.
Before the 36th Division was redeployed, their manager and minister also sent someone to hold a Ming Dynasty official kiln that was said to be obtained by the Mengjiang Army from the tomb of a county lord in the Ming Dynasty palace in Datong. In fact, it was imitated in the Qing Dynasty, and it was a plum bottle from a folk kiln to sell itself. I don't know if that bastard is talking nonsense with his eyes open, or if it's really confusing.
There is no way, that guy has the right to allocate the supply of the entire Shanxi puppet army. I only bought the counterfeit goods that were actually too many silver rolls at the price of the plum bottle in the official kiln of the Ming Dynasty in Beiping. Otherwise, the guy will turn his face and put on his own little shoes.
After paying a high price for a rag, the mortar, which had been jammed, was immediately put in place, and an additional three hundred shells were given. When the 36th Division was about to retreat, it forced itself to buy 30 boxes of Type 38 rifle cartridges, 10 boxes of Japanese-made*, and 5 crooked-handled machine guns that were about to be scrapped.
Another Shaozo captain, when he was about to retreat, actually forced himself to spend twenty small yellow croakers to use the 200 rifles that their various squadrons had in their hands to deal with the superiors' verification of their achievements. And in the name of scrapped weapons, at the price of a hundred oceans, he sold himself 100 38-type rifles and four crooked handles.
It's not okay if you don't buy these things yourself. These Japanese officers, all fucking dogs, turn their faces faster than they turn books. One by one, they are more greedy than anyone else, and there is nothing they dare not do if they hold money in private. If you are not satisfied with him, it will be light to turn your face and put small shoes on you. Even pretending to be crazy with alcohol, there is more than one person who kills people with a knife.
The first part of the 62nd Division, as soon as it was transferred to Changzhi, gave the commander of the brigade of the major general who was in charge of the defense of the entire southeast of Jinzhi a pawnshop in Changzhi City. If you don't feed the top every year, you will also send everything below. I don't know if I was really kicked, the degree of wealth is far less than that of Ludong County in Hubei.
This guy didn't succeed in trying to seize the territory before, so this time he played a yin game with himself. wants to use the hand of the eight roads to completely solve himself in one go, this guy is naturally taking over his own territory, these bastards are really a good calculation.
If it weren't for the Japanese forcing them to come out for reinforcements, I'm afraid these guys would have sat back and watched themselves be wiped out by the Eighth Road.
I thought I could join forces with them and work together to get Liu Kaishan, who was always against him. But now, these guys have stood with Liu Kaishan, who is squeezing his eyebrows and eyebrows next to him. Thanks to their division commander, after they marched into the Ludong area to garrison, he also received the benefits of a thousand oceans.
At present, he actually joined forces with that Liu Kaishan, and he absolutely couldn't accept it. Not only is it unacceptable, but we must also find a way to completely dispel these thoughts from them. It took a lot of effort and countless large and small gifts to persuade the Japanese to merge the original Jinnan Founding Army. I didn't expect that now I just ate a hungry wolf, and another group of hungry tigers came.
After being played, I knew that my short honeymoon period with these guys had completely passed. After this incident, Wang Tieshi, who is already good if he does not turn his face publicly. Settle down that your life is not good, and you don't want to think about stopping your life, so you directly turned your hand and deducted the basin on these guys.
However, the puppet army commander who came from Hubei County to reinforce him didn't care about his diversion at all. just looked at him provocatively, just like Lao Tzu is playing yin with you, Lao Tzu is going to take your territory, that is, to kill you, what can you do with us?
Who made the entire rich area of Ludong region now in your hands. In particular, it also controls Pingchuan, a transportation artery that can enter tens of thousands of oceans every year from the tobacco dealers who come and go. It also relied on this transportation artery to smuggle arms and food.
The pond salt transported from Yuncheng was smuggled to eastern Henan and the south bank of the Yellow River, and it was dozens of times the profit as soon as it changed hands. Western medicine from the Guotong area of Henan Province is more profitable to smuggle into Taiyuan and Tianjin. Not to mention anything else, how much benefit did this guy get from smuggling salt, weapons and grain to Zhongtiao Mountain and Lin County before?
How much of the tobacco he sold in those opium tobacco houses in Pingchuan was the special tobacco paste that the Tanglin thief from Linxian County had obtained? And the goods smuggled between Taiyuan and Luoyang every year are no worse than the profits of illicit salt and tobacco. Every year, such a big entry is still so eye-catching, and the division commander only sent a thousand oceans to the division commander after he took office.
When he arrived at the head of his regiment, he actually gave five hundred oceans. Although I can't help but say that this guy can be a man, but he's too fucking stingy. What he gave to the division commander and himself was less than a fraction of what he filled into the pockets of the Japanese every year. Don't think that what this guy does, others really don't know.
I want to buy shares, and I find excuses to shirk myself. You kid don't look at your own virtue, don't you just rely on the Japanese a few years ago, and use Lao Tzu to call Hanako in front of him. If it weren't for Liu Kaishan's kid who found it out, he would have been really fucking fooled by you.
If it weren't for the money, who would have gone to the Japanese with infamy? The western part of Jinxi also asked you to assist you and block the path of the old Eighth Road out of Taihang Mountain. But when it comes to the ground, your kid is a dime, and he swallows all the benefits by himself, and he is only willing to take out a little small profit to give to his allies. Don't play you to death, rightly start yourself?
This pseudo-legion commander was like a monkey, looking at the performance of this Wang Tieshi in front of him, but he didn't say anything. He squinted at the Japanese advisor next to him, and even smiled faintly. But while sneering in his heart, he was also secretly laughing at this guy.
He thought that he had given a pawnshop to Major General Nakajima Tokutaro of the 65th Brigade of the 62nd Division, who was newly transferred to Changzhi? If he really became his pawnshop, he could buy off a major general of the Japanese army. His annual income is so big, just giving away that little stuff is a fart.
