Chapter 1221: Chief Yan's Concerns (Third Update!) )
After the order was given, Lieutenant General Fujino sat down on a stool.
After a long time, he replied: "Send another telegram to the air force: "If the Eighth Route Army has already broken through the defense line when they arrive at the battlefield, immediately find the food that has been stolen by the Eighth Route Army near the combat area, and bomb all suspicious targets in the combat area!" ”
"If we can't get that batch of food, the Eighth Route Army can't even get one!"
The chief of staff felt that his ears had misheard, and looked at Fujino with a look of disbelief.
All along, Fujino has always given himself the feeling of arrogance, confidence, and no matter what he does, he looks like he is sure to win. Where is it like now, after the order is issued, there is no foundation at all, and even the way back to failure has been thought of.
Fujino explained with a self-deprecating expression: "Do you think I'm too worried, and I even think about the way back!" ”
"It's not that I don't have confidence, it's that the Eighth Route Army is too cunning!"
"Especially our opponent, the commander of the new regiment, if the whole operation was commanded by him, by now, he has succeeded more than half of it. This means that our chances of turning a defeat into a victory are very slim! ”
"You wait, can we turn defeat into victory, there will be news in half an hour at most!"
In less than half an hour, only twenty minutes, the communications staff officer hurriedly barged in.
Seeing the expression on the other party's face, Fujino's heart jumped, and two words popped out of his mouth: "Lost......"
"Sir, the Shuidong Town stronghold has been lost, and we have just lost contact with them as soon as we received a farewell telegram!"
"Yaga? How could it be so fast, how did they fight...... Coupled with the imperial army, with a total strength of more than 800 people, it didn't even hold out for half an hour! ”
The premonition in his head turned into a fact, but Fujino was not as angry as at the beginning, shook his head and replied: "Chief of Staff, they have fought very well!" ”
"More than 800 people held out for half an hour under the attack of a total of fifty or sixty artillery pieces of the Eighth Route Army, which is already very good. Even if it's the imperial army guarding there, it won't be able to hold it for too long! ”
"If I guessed correctly, our reinforcements to Shuidong Town were also desperately blocked by the Eighth Route Army!"
"Yes, division commander!" The communications staff officer replied with his head bowed.
"The reinforcements of the three routes have all encountered the blocking troops of the Eighth Route Army, and it is very difficult to quickly reinforce Shuidong Town!"
"This Wang Ping is really not an ordinary opponent!" Fujino suddenly clenched his fists, his face calm, and he sighed with an angry expression of gritted teeth.
"Although I don't know how he intercepted the food and the weapons and ammunition. However, the means to confuse us later, as well as the raid battle that is now underway, are too perfect! Unless we knew about these conspiracies in the first place, once we were fooled, then we would lose, and we would not even have a chance to turn defeat into victory! ”
"Chief of Staff, immediately send a telegram to the aviation troops, rush to the battlefield at the earliest, and then bomb suspicious targets around the battlefield, and be sure to blow up the food that was stolen by the Eighth Route Army for me!"
"Also, find out immediately: how did so many Eighth Route Army enter our base area without knowing it!"
"Find out how they robbed the grain, and in addition, send a telegram to Noda Nakasa, who stayed behind in the Jin Sui Army, inform him of what we know, let him stabilize the Jin Sui Army, and then tell the Jin Sui Army that the transaction between us and them continues, or 8 million catties of grain in exchange for 10,000 rifles, 200 light and heavy machine guns, and 20 mortars!"
Second World War Zone Command, when Noda Nakasa returned here, Chief Yan's brows were still furrowed.
"Chief Yan, the call back from the commander of our division has arrived!"
"It's a pity, it's not just your Jin Sui Army that lost your weapons, but also the food of the Imperial Army, and it wasn't the Imperial Army that attacked, it was the Eighth Route Army!"
"The Eighth Route Army?" Chief Yan had a look of disbelief on his face.
Pointing to the map in front of him, he asked Noda Nakasa: "The base of the Eighth Route Army is dozens of attacks away from our trading place, and this area is still occupied by you Japanese. You even told me that the Eighth Route Army passed through your occupied area and then stole food, weapons and ammunition from us! ”
"Are you playing the old man and me like a monkey? Even if you find a reason, you have to find a proper reason, not such a casual reason......"
Noda Nakasa hurriedly explained: "Chief Yan is angry, what I just said is true. You Jin Suijun also have your own intelligence system, and it won't take long to know the whole story! ”
"After the Eighth Route Army robbed us of food, weapons and ammunition, it confused our imperial army through means, and rushed directly to Shuidong Town, the blockade line between us and the Eighth Route Army, which is here!"
Noda pointed to a point on the map and continued to report.
"Just now, the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army concentrated a large number of mortars and mountain artillery, flanking and attacking the imperial army's stronghold in Shuidong Town, and then opening a gap in the defense line to kill the imperial army's occupied area!"
"However, the commander of our division has already contacted the aviation troops, and when the aviation troops arrive at the battlefield, they will bomb the Eighth Route Army that has robbed us of our food!"
"In addition, the commander of our division asked me to tell the commander that he didn't expect this incident to happen, it was an accident, and I hope that the cooperation between the imperial army and you will not be affected!"
"Also, the Imperial Army has decided to continue to exchange the same amount of weapons and ammunition for eight million catties of grain from your army!"
Chief Yan knew that for the sake of the overall situation, it was absolutely impossible for a devil to brush himself on such a trivial matter.
However, this accident that has already happened has made him alarmed!
The Eighth Route Army knew its connection with the devil in advance, and then it could send people to rob the grain. This means that he cooperated with the little devils, and even exchanged food for food and ammunition from the devils, at least for the Eighth Route Army, it was already an open secret. ”
And it is impossible for the Eighth Route Army not to know that they are doing this to suppress them.
The first deal with the devil failed because of the intervention of the Eighth Route Army, and if there is a second time, no one can guarantee that the Eighth Route Army will keep it secret for itself, or directly leak the news!
As far as I am concerned, dancing on top of three eggs, I definitely don't want to offend the Japanese too deeply.
However, many soldiers under his command have a deep hatred with the Japanese, and they can't wait to cramp and peel the skin of the little devil!
If they knew that they were secretly trading with the little devils, Yan Xishan could be sure that there would be many soldiers under his command who would betray him because of this.
Compared with weapons and ammunition, the loyalty of the officers and men under his command is obviously more important.
And if this matter is stabbed in Chongqing, let them get real evidence. Then you have to face more than just the betrayal of your subordinates. At that time, the position of the commander of the Second World War Zone may not be retained.
If he did not have the position of commander, it would obviously be more difficult for him to return to Taiyuan and secure the position of Emperor of Shanxi.
After hesitating and struggling for a long time, Chief Yan finally chose to refuse.
"The transaction has been suspended for the time being, and you Japanese people are too unreassuring to do things. Wait until we've thought about it before we talk about whether to continue trading! ”
Seeing Chief Yan's face struggling, and his anger was in full swing, Noda Nakasa decided to stop the negotiation very sensibly and wait for Chief Yan's anger to subside before renegotiating!
