After learning that the Japanese army secretly sued for peace, Liu Yicheng was also a little dumbfounded.

The more than 100 cluster bombs in front of him, aren't they in vain, he now understands the horror of this kind of bombs, one goes down, he can harvest one or two hundred lives, and there is nowhere to hide if he wants to, it is even more like a demon than a demon in hell.

Seeing that there are still a few hours before it can be put into place, now the Japanese army is going to negotiate peace, and discuss his sister's peace.

However, he himself also knew that there should be tens of thousands of Japanese troops gathered in Zhengding and Xinlecheng, and even if the cluster bombs were powerful, it would be impossible to kill them all, and in the end ordinary infantry would be needed to wipe them out one by one, and it was inevitable that our army would suffer heavy casualties at that time.

Now that the Japanese army wants to negotiate peace, it means that it is possible for these Japanese troops to surrender, but there are still some additional conditions, but they still "surrender".

Well, no matter how ordinary Chinese soldiers are, they are also living people, they also have their own families and lives, people with parents and children, this kind of senseless war is not fought, Liu Yun decided to represent the army in Shijiazhuang and accept the "conditional surrender" of the Japanese army.

However, he didn't want to be famous, everything was just a practical result, and out of humanitarian considerations, the "wounded Japanese soldiers" could leave safely.

What is a wounded Japanese soldier?

That is, the devil soldiers who have lost their combat effectiveness, such as missing arms and legs, such as serious injuries that have not healed, such as the wounded who have lost two thumbs, etc., of course, civilian personnel, medical personnel, and military personnel who have received a "special pardon" from Nanjing, can not be counted in this ranks.

Liu Yicheng's ruthless method made Lao Jiang Mao stunned.

That's right, those devil soldiers who have not recovered from serious injuries, even if they stay, it is a big scourge, and the Chinese army is not as ferocious as the Japanese army, and these people can still be used to practice bayonets, but they have to spend precious medical resources to treat these heinous invaders, and now it is just in the name of peace in North China to throw them back to Japan, that is the best policy.

Both civilian and medical personnel are considered non-combatants, of course, separately.

As for the "special pardon", it is easy to understand.

Among the divisions and three brigades, the number of generals alone is more than ten, not to mention that among these besieged Japanese troops, there should be many royal relatives who come to gild, if they are all killed, it is indeed not good, these are all good exchange hostages, and they can't be wasted.

If you want an amnesty in Nanjing, it's easy to do.

Then let the Japanese army headquarters make a list by itself and negotiate the price with Nanjing.

Lao Jiang is a master of stock speculation, and he does not make more than three times the profit, you see that he does not make deals with you, and due to the fall of Northeast China and Pingjin, many revolutionaries were arrested by the Japanese army, and they also took this opportunity to rescue them one by one, including Wu Peifu's old department and his family.

As for the "wounded who lost their thumbs", Lao Jiang was a little confused.

Admiral Bai, who was on the side of the senator, rolled his eyes and immediately explained to him that if an ordinary person does not have a thumb, he will not be able to hold a knife and gun in the future, and it will naturally be difficult to fight as a soldier.

But the price is - the ability to fight forever.

After thinking about it, Lao Jiang immediately sent a report to the 22nd Group Army, ordering them to suspend the offensive, and if no new order was sent before 12 o'clock in the morning of the same day, the Chinese troops such as Deng Xihou's troops, Li Jiayu's troops, and Sun Zhen's troops should immediately launch a final offensive and capture alive the enemy chiefs such as Tufeiyuan Xian.

In fact, the Japanese army was far more anxious than Lao Chiang.

Lao Chiang thought that he would have to negotiate for several hours, but before 10 o'clock in the morning, the Japanese army base camp and the Konoe cabinet accepted Nanjing's terms in their entirety.

As for the Japanese army in Zhengding County, there have long been no officers above the rank of Zhongzuo.

For the Japanese base camp, there was no "rescue" value, just ordered them to fight "bravely" to the last man, first, to demonstrate the "bushido spirit" of the Imperial Japanese Army, and second, to cover this undignified secret peace, to prevent the possibility of other Japanese troops competing to follow suit.

At noon on November 6, 1937, hundreds of bombers attacked Zhengding County, killing and wounding thousands of Japanese troops, and the rest did not use tank troops to attack, so they surrendered on their own initiative.

Fifty years later, Onoda Jiro, who survived the battle as a private, told reporters who interviewed him, "The soldiers fought for several days and nights [for Shijiazhuang], but suddenly they were bombed by a large group of fighters, and attacked and besieged by tanks and armored vehicles."

"Later, not only was the 20th Division defeated, the 14th Division was defeated, and even the 6th Division, known as the 'first main force', was also blocked north of the Dasha River.

Compared with the tragedy of Zhengding County, Xinle County is much more harmonious.

When Tu Feiyuan and other special personnel "broke through", the remaining Japanese troops took the initiative to surrender, surrendering nearly 3,000 people at one time, plus the prisoners who fought in the plains before, a total of 6 or 7,000 Japanese prisoners, so that the entire Japanese army in North China lost face.

The entire Shijiazhuang battle, from the early morning of October 16, the riverside detachment assault Xinle County as the beginning, to the afternoon of November 6, the Chinese army regained Xinle County as the end, before and after the 21 days, the total strength of Huaxia invested as high as 120,000, including the 22nd Group Army, the West Sichuan Independent Brigade as the main force, with the Baoding Battle of the various remnants, as well as the nearby districts and counties in the militia as the auxiliary, won the large-scale battle, the total casualties as high as more than 50,000 people.

More than half of the 22nd Group Army was lost, and the miscellaneous soldiers of all units were even more lost.

The Japanese army invested the First Army of the North China Dispatch Army, all of the Tokugawa Yoshitoshi Air Regiment, and a part of the Second Army, with a total strength of 130,000 troops, and finally the 14th Division, the 11th Brigade, and the 1st and 2nd Heavy Artillery Brigades, etc., and several units were completely annihilated.

As for the 20th Division, which strengthened the armored corps, it also suffered a devastating blow in the field battle, and if it were not for the timely help of the 10th Division, I am afraid that it would not have escaped the fate of total annihilation, and at the same time, it also led to the loss of thousands of men and horses of the 10th Division of the Japanese army.

Therefore, in general, in the Battle of Shijiazhuang, the Japanese army lost more than 36,000 casualties, and if you add the prisoners and wounded, the total number will exceed more than 60,000, which is the first time since the 77 Incident that the casualties of the Japanese army are higher than those of the Chinese army.

What's even worse is that the Chinese army defeated three permanent divisions at one time, which was simply a fantasy for the arrogant and domineering Japanese army, and the collective thought that the Chinese army was "falsifying the results".

However, when outside reporters found the commander of the First Army, Kiyoji Kazuki, and the commander of the North China Dispatch Army, Terauchi Shouichi, in the Pingjin area, and wanted to cover the matter in detail, they were directly beaten by the military police and plainclothes agents for an excuse.

The Japanese army's press release department replied, "This is a military secret, and there is nothing to comment on."

It was not until the surrender of the Japanese devils in 1945 that the truth of the battle was revealed.

Lao Jiang liked the 22nd Group Army very much, not only gave priority to the supply of soldiers and equipment, but also divided the group army into two, adding a 36th Group Army, with Li Jiayu as the commander, and Sun Zhen officially took over as the commander of the 22nd Group Army, and all the divisions under his jurisdiction were expanded to first-class divisions.

General Deng Xihou officially became the deputy commander of the First Theater and commanded the two group armies, with the focus on defending the security of the Shijiazhuang area.

In view of the importance of Shijiazhuang, Lao Jiang contributed money and weapons from western Sichuan, and prepared three heavy artillery regiments for Deng Xihou and other troops, each regiment had two heavy artillery battalions, with a total of more than 100 heavy artillery pieces of 122 mm caliber and more than 50 heavy guns of 152 mm caliber.

Major General Guo Qixun, who made meritorious contributions, was promoted to lieutenant general division commander by Lao Jiang, and directly named under the United Group Army as the commander of the 204th Division.

Wing Commander Song Jack was also promoted to Major General of the Air Force, commanding all the air forces in the Zhengzhou area, of course, at the same time, he still had to obey Major General Liu's orders, otherwise once the aircraft parts and logistics supply lines were cut off, he would wait to find a place to cry his nose, these advanced things in western Sichuan could not be made elsewhere.

Since Liu Yicheng and Chen Ziliang have made a lot of contributions, and they are Lao Jiang's protégés and former officials, they naturally want to go to the Nanjing Military Commission to report their posts, such as talking about life and feelings.

At this time, the Songhu battlefield was in full swing, but there was no hope or end in sight.

Judging from the distribution of troops on the battlefield, it seems that the Chinese army has a slight advantage, but in fact, it is difficult to continue, and Lao Jiang has also received accurate information that the Japanese army is about to invest in two more armies, so the total strength of the Japanese army in Songhu will exceed 400,000, and the generals in Nanjing are a little worried about this.

Because with the strength of Huaxia in the Songhu area, it is absolutely impossible to deal with the four or five hundred thousand Japanese troops, so the Huaxia army will have to prepare for a strategic retreat.

As for what exactly is just a retreat method?

Lao Jiang and Bai Chongxi and others also have to discuss with others, such as Liu Yun and Wu Peifu.

Regarding Major General Liu's outstanding performance in Shijiazhuang, Jiang Weizuo and others also "knew in their hearts" that he was "instigated" by Wu Peifu, so Mr. Wu was also among those who went to Nanjing to take up his post.

On the afternoon of November 7, Liu Yicheng and others took a special plane and flew directly to Nanjing Purple Mountain Airport.

Due to the passive sabotage of the Japanese Navy, the Japanese Army Aviation Unit has been languishing and did not dare to attack the capital of China at all, so the flight process of Major General Liu and others was quite safe, without the slightest sense of urgency of war.

The sky over Songhu has always been "very harmonious".

Often, when the Japanese army and air force flew together, they would be discovered by the Huaxia Air Force, and then fighters would come over to "say hello".

Fortunately, their counterparts in Huaxia were "very polite" and generally did not shoot them down, so that they had a sufficient "excuse" to continue to stay on the Songhu battlefield and continue to play the game of "cat and mouse" with the Chinese air force, resulting in the Japanese naval aviation without any excuse to "enter the war".

For Wu Peifu, who thinks highly of himself, Lao Jiang certainly dislikes it very much.

But this time in the battle of Shijiazhuang, Mr. Wu did contribute a lot, many defensive and offensive battle plans, all from his handwriting, and with Tu Fei Yuan Kenji is still a senior brother, no matter how Tu Fei Yuan jumps, it is impossible to get out of the palm of Senior Brother Wu, this time it can be regarded as a miserable Japanese junior brother.

Therefore, even if Lao Jiang doesn't like him anymore, he will also greet him politely.

Seeing the free and generous Mr. Wu, Lao Jiang's somewhat stiff face finally squeezed out a few smiles, these two people were old opponents and old enemies during the Northern Expedition, and now under the banner of the National War of Resistance, they finally came together again.

Jiang Wu shook hands with each other and talked about the past anecdotes, and gradually became more comfortable.

After all kinds of misunderstandings were resolved, they realized that they were already old with each other.

As early as January 18, 1933, when various groups in Shanghai sent representatives to persuade Duan Qirui, Wu Peifu and other Beiyang old people not to be used by the Japanese devils and to be loyal to the nation with useful people, Duan Qirui was the representative, and soon went south at the invitation of the Jiang Commission, but Wu Peifu remained unmoved-still stranded in Beiping.

On November 2, 1934, Lao Jiang and other Nanjing dignitaries flew to Beiping in person to discuss the important political and military affairs of Pingjin and how to deal with the approach of the Japanese army with He Yingqin, Song Zheyuan and others.

It's a pity that they came and went in a hurry, and the two of them had a lot of misunderstandings.

In the past, Mr. Wu and Lao Jiang always looked at each other unpleasantly, mainly because of communication problems, but after getting the opportunity to talk in detail this time, I found out that each other is a person all the way, and they both hope that the Chinese nation will become strong, whether it is a warlord or a dictatorship, they will be left for future generations to judge.
