"What should I do?"

The Emperor of Japan, Fumitsu Konoe, Mitsumasa Yonechi, and Motomo Sugiyama, as well as Hideki Tojo and Ishihara Wanji, were all shocked when they received the news of the imminent destruction of the First Army.

In particular, Tojo and Ishihara secretly complained, because they had ghosts in their hearts, and the information about Kenji Dohihara's attack on Shijiazhuang was still secretly communicated to Huaxia, and once it was found out by the Japanese emperor, it was returned.

In any case, let's save the soil fertilizer first.

Even if all the Japanese troops in the First Army are dead, as long as the generals of all sizes are still there, are you still afraid that the First Army will not be able to be rebuilt?

"How can I save it?"

Seeing the drowsy humerus ministers, the emperor's heart was slightly bitter.

If it was in ancient times, he really wanted to order the Wuzun of the Grass Pheasant Palace to go to Shijiazhuang, but unfortunately it is now a modern society, it is said that the anti-aircraft guns of these years are extremely ferocious, even if it is really an iron man, it can be beaten into a sieve, in case Wuzun lives in the back of a little black, is hit by a cannonball, and guarantees to become a dead venerable immediately.

The Japanese army worships the spirit of bushido, in a sense, Wuzun is the "god of martial arts", once someone is killed, the Japanese army will have a big incident, even far more terrifying than the emperor was assassinated, or the outbreak of a magnitude 9 earthquake, I am afraid that it is a real collapse, and all kinds of deep-rooted beliefs in Japan will become shit overnight.

Therefore, even if the emperor himself went crazy and ordered Wuzun to go to Shijiazhuang to take an adventure, the other ministers would desperately stop him.

In the end, all eyes were on Ishihara Waner.

This guy is a famous Japanese military strategist, or the most wise and wise man, look at the god of Olympia "Athena", is a combination of the god of war and the god of wisdom, no wonder this guy wants to give himself a feminine name, the feeling is that Athena of Japan is alive.

The Japanese version of "Athena", so she coughed dryly, regardless of her ugliness, smiled at everyone, scared the emperor and others trembling in their hearts, and really wanted to give this guy a brick, but for the reputation of the First Army and the undefeated golden body of the Imperial Japanese Army, everyone had to squeeze out a smile and ask the "Goddess Ishihara" to speak freely.

Ishihara Wan'er is a thin little old man, how can there be any good way, but there are a lot of bad ideas for yin damage, no wonder others can be goddesses.

"Your Majesty, the next way is very simple, through the naval hotline - Matsushima Yuki Daisa, negotiate with Lao Chiang in Nanjing, and promise to sign an agreement with him to suspend the North China Incident, after all, the two families are a strip of water, well, Japan and China have always been friendly."

"And, it's better to do it before dawn".

The emperor and the others all nodded their heads, according to the tragic situation of the 20th Division, as long as the sky dawned, when the Huaxia air force dispatched again and threw the "devil's egg" on the two cities, I am afraid that it would not take more than three hours, Zhengding and Xinle would immediately change hands, and the First Army would probably really be finished.

Once that time comes, the Sixth Division, which is now facing Deng Xihou across the river, should run away as soon as possible, otherwise it will become a new result for others, and if the Chinese army takes advantage of the situation to carry out a counteroffensive, Baoding, the capital of Hebei, may also be lost, and even Pingjin and Tianjin are facing the danger of "recovery."

"But, old Chiang in Nanjing, will he agree?"

In response to everyone's doubts, Ishihara smiled slightly and easily solved this problem.

"First, in view of the fact that the Chinese army used the devil's egg, such a tragic super bomb, the Imperial Japanese Army will immediately drop bacteriological bombs and poison gas bombs on densely populated places such as Baoding, Beiping, Tianjin, Jinan, Taiyuan, Shanghai, and Nanjing."

Prime Minister Konoe frowned, and wanted to remind Ishihara that the imperial army had so many weapons reserves, but then he figured out that this was just Hongguoguo's military blackmail, and he also gambled that Huaxia could not afford to be injured, as long as these places could be successfully put in one place, there would be hundreds of thousands of casualties immediately.

After seeing that everyone could understand, Ishihara "Goddess" said the following.

"Second, in view of the friendship between China and Japan, and the benevolence of His Majesty the Emperor, His Majesty has reprimanded the North China Dispatch Army, and its commander, General Terauchi Shouichi, and decided to immediately suspend all operations of the Imperial Army in North China, well, in the hope of reaching a truce in North China with the Chinese army."

"However, there are a million Japanese troops in the whole of North China, so I hope to maintain the status quo for three years."

"High, really high".

Now even the emperor, who seems to understand whether he understands or not, gradually understands.

Ishihara's plan was very simple, the Japanese army in North China had been heavily damaged, anyway, in a short period of time, the Japanese army was helpless to take North China and other places, not to mention the fear of the defenders of Shijiazhuang, after the first army of the Japanese army was annihilated, and then took the opportunity to attack Beiping, at that time, in order to return to Pingjin, the Japanese army had to take the initiative to abandon Cangzhou, Dezhou and Xinkou.

Of course, the Japanese army had another option - to order the entire Kwantung Army to enter the customs en masse.

But the stakes are just too great.

In case the Soviet Russian Red Army also chooses to go south at this time, the entire puppet Manchukuo will be finished, from the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle to the current painstaking management, as well as the blood of millions of imperial troops, can be regarded as in vain, and the Japanese army, which has become accustomed to being robbers, will not agree to do so, so it is reasonable to temporarily suspend the war in North China.

Since the Japanese army has agreed to an armistice, will Huaxia disagree?

Well, even if Lao Jiang and others really choose to fight to the end, it would be even better, such as Wang Zhaoming and others of the pro-Japanese faction, as well as warlords who are critical to protecting their territory, such as Yan Xishan and Han Fuqu, will also "add fuel to the fire and ask for the people's lives", calling for "rejecting war and welcoming peace".

In the end, even if Chiang Weizao and others disagreed, these friendly people would unilaterally agree.

It would be fun if civil war broke out again in China because of this.

However, what Ishihara lacked the most morality was not the many problems of pretending to suspend the North China Raider, or waiting until his strength was restored before launching a counterattack, but only "proposing a truce in North China".

Because the Songhu battlefield is in full swing, but it is not within the scope of the armistice agreement.

Therefore, Ishihara's intention is very clear, the Japanese army intends to shrink the forces in North China and increase their investment in the Songhu battlefield, which is why the Huaxia government has issued a stern warning not to use the devil's egg again, because they will continue to invade China.

Why did the Japanese army have to win the Battle of Songhu?

In fact, it is not difficult to understand, because the Japanese devils want to show their strength to the world, and the Songhu area happens to be a sensitive area mixed with China and the West, where many foreign military strategists and spies are entrenched here, and they are secretly assessing the real combat effectiveness of the Japanese army invading China.

Therefore, the seizure of Songhu is not all a matter of face for the Japanese army, but a real issue of comprehensive national strength evaluation, once the score is higher, it can fight a lot less battles in the future, such as "liberating Southeast Asia", such as "liberating the British and French colonies", such as "joining forces with the German army", and so on.

In the eyes of the Japanese army base, if the Japanese army did not live up to its name, the great powers would deal a heavy blow to them, as evidenced by the current embargo.

Fortunately, these powers have no plans to send troops in person, or consider sending elite troops to participate in the war, and the only way to participate in the war with volunteers is only to "indulge" overseas Chinese to return to China to participate in the war.

When Lao Chiang received the battle report from the front, it was already eight or nine o'clock in the evening.

Shijiazhuang's Huaxia army actually counterattacked, not only encircling a division and three brigades of the Japanese army, but also crushing the 20th division of the Japanese army in one fell swoop in the field battle on the plains, and it is expected that the total number of enemies destroyed this time will exceed 50,000, which is the first large-scale battle to achieve victory since the "77 Incident".

How many troops did Huaxia dispatch? It's just a 22nd Army.

It was really an inexplicable result that shocked Lao Jiang.

Lao Jiang hurriedly ordered his attendants to convene the generals in Nanjing to discuss the matter, and now that the overall situation of the Battle of Shijiazhuang has been decided, the erosion situation in North China will also tend to stabilize, and the United Army that was originally going to be transferred to North China to fight can also appropriately transfer some of its elite to the white-hot Songhu battlefield.

Moreover, since the all-out war of resistance against Japanese aggression, the soldiers and men who have fought bloody battles have been fighting for four months, and China's outstanding soldiers and strategic materials have long been on the verge of exhaustion.

In addition, the combat effectiveness of the Sichuan Army Group also made Lao Jiang quite worried and jealous.

Whether it is Zhang Zhizhong's Ninth Group Army, Chen Cheng's Fifteenth Group Army, or Xue Yue's Nineteenth Group Army, there is no one who can compare with it, and the only one that can compete with it is probably only the 45th Group Army (that is, the United Group Army) that serves as the general reserve.

By the way, and what is a "cluster bomb"?

It is simply a divine weapon, if you can send a few hundred to the Japanese army in Wusongkou, wouldn't you be able to win without a fight.

Before Lao Jiang could fully figure out whether to order the Shijiazhuang and Western Sichuan Air Force to immediately transfer to the Songhu battlefield, Yuki Matsushima, who was then the "Navy Hotline", rubbed his hazy sleepy eyes, and under the escort of a group of attendants, handed over an official document to the commission-"North China Truce Agreement".

It really made all the generals and colonels present fall through their glasses - the Japanese army also has today.

The Japanese army's "peace treaty" was only three.

In addition to Ishihara's remarks, an article was added that if Wakaxia could send the "devil's egg" and its manufacturing method to the Imperial Japanese Army, the Japanese cabinet would promise a "complete truce with the Chinese army" and even hope to return to the situation before the "77 Incident."

Lao Jiang was really moved.

Even if it's a lie, it's not comfortable to listen to.

When Bai Chongxi and other high-ranking generals figured out what the "Demon Egg" was, they all gasped and hurriedly dissuaded Lao Jiang from moving blindly.

They bitterly warned Chiang that there was no joke in this matter, that China was known for its poverty and weakness, that it did not have a strong industrial base, and that it did not have excellent military training, and that it often relied on numbers to win battles against the Japanese army, and the ferocity of the "devil's egg" lies in killing and injuring defenseless ordinary soldiers, and it is not the nemesis of the Chinese army.

Once it is sent to the Japanese army, isn't it too upside down and self-defeating?

It is really a great blessing that such a sharp weapon can be in the hands of the Chinese army, and it is really the blessing of God for Huaxia, on the contrary, if the Japanese devils are allowed to grasp it, once the Chinese army fights the Japanese army again, it will be completely the object of slaughter.

What's more, the devil's guarantee is not even as good as bullshit, even if it really retreats now, won't the Japanese army find an excuse to come to a new "77 Incident"?

"Yes, like, that's true."

Lao Jiang finally calmed down.

If that is the case, the Japanese army will continue to be entrenched in the northeast of China, and will be eyeing the land within the Great Wall at any time, and a new full-scale war will break out in less than a year and a half.

At that time, with the Japanese army with the "devil's egg", how many soldiers will be killed in vain in Huaxia.

However, since the Japanese army proposed a "truce in North China", it is actually a good thing, so that Nanjing's finances, which are about to collapse, can be slightly relieved, but fortunately, Lao Chiang's mind is still quite clear, the main force of the Shijiazhuang campaign is the 22nd Group Army, whether it is a peace or a war, we have to ask their opinions.

Before questioning Li Jiayu and Deng Xihou, Jiang decided to ask Liu Yun first, after all, this guy is the "third master" of the Sichuan army, the "supervisor of the battlefield" of Shijiazhuang, or his own confidant and protégé, if he does not ask this guy's opinion in advance, I am afraid it will be self-defeating.

Fortunately, Lao Jiang asked.

When the telegram arrived in Shijiazhuang, Liu Yicheng was working overtime to make cluster bombs in the secret arsenal in Yunpanshan.

Because the performance of this bomb during the day was really amazing, it not only scared the Japanese devils to death, but also stimulated the Chinese soldiers who witnessed the explosion to babble, and they desperately hoped that the air force would drop more.

The reason why Liu Yun developed cluster bombs was to avenge the heavy artillery troops in western Sichuan, and the Japanese devils brazenly destroyed three heavy artillery battalions, resulting in the Shijiazhuang defenders having no heavy artillery to use for the time being, and tens of thousands of Chinese soldiers were pressed and beaten, and the casualties were extremely heavy.

Cluster bombs can turn this around.

Originally, Major General Liu planned to stay up all night and make another 200 cluster bombs, and as soon as the morning dawned, all of them would be dropped into the cities of Xinle and Zhengding, and if the results were good and there was still surplus, all of them would be sent to the Sixth Division north of the Dasha River.

For the miners in Kyushu, he always had a sense of hatred and hatred.
