Section 4 The Flames of Northern Cyprus (2)

Ligao support is Park Wenyong, he left Guangzhou did not go directly to the book but went to Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines through Hong Kong to go around, in the Philippines he was lucky to save a robbed said himself, this said himself and his companions were robbed by the locals, two companions were killed, the money was robbed, he accompanied this said that he went to Manila to reapply for documents, along the way in his rhetoric he believed that he was a local descendant, and then after receiving a sum of money, Agree to let him assume the identity of a companion. In this way, Park Wenyong became his own Ogawa Michichi, and he was very satisfied with this identity, because this Ogawa Michichi was an orphan, and his family died in the Tokyo earthquake. After completing the identity replacement, he went to Malaysia with the rescued Yue himself, where he dealt with the Yue himself, and then returned from Singapore, where he changed his name to Gao Support.

After returning to the army, he was admitted to the army non-commissioned officer school, and four years later he graduated with the fifth place in the school, according to the system of the army non-commissioned officer school, the top 20 can apply for the army university, and after graduating last year, he was assigned to the Kwantung Army Command as an intelligence staff officer.

During this period, he strictly abided by the regulations given to him by Zhuang Jihua, did not do anything that might expose his identity, and did not say anything inappropriate, showing everywhere that he was an excellent soldier. After arriving in Manchuria, he led the cracking of two underground organizations of the Anti-Japanese Federation, and made great contributions to the extermination of the Jilin Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army, so he was quickly promoted to Shaozuo.

After entering the military system, he had a deeper understanding of the strength of the military system, and also a deeper understanding of Zhuang Jihua's statement that the DPRK's reading power and China's resistance to the Chinese war were closely linked.

The person who could see that there must be a full-scale war between China and China eight years ago is by no means an ordinary person, and Li Gao supports more and more admires Zhuang Jihua who guided him on this road, and this person's insight is absolutely superhuman. It's just that he is very confused now, he has successfully broken into the core department of the army, but why haven't they sent someone to contact him? There is already a war between China and China, don't they need themselves yet? He didn't understand, so he decided to make a dangerous move.

Standing at the door, he turned around and returned to the house, Muto Nobuyoshi and Koiso Kuniaki looked at him with a little surprise, Okamura Ninji saw the looks of the two, and turned his head to see him, so he frowned and asked, "Is there any more problem with Litaka Shaoza?" ”

"Report to the general, I have some views on the activities of the Chinese army in Chadong, and I would like to report to the commander and the chief of staff and the deputy chief of staff." Ligao said calmly.

Okamura Ninji raised his eyebrows and was about to speak, but Muto Nobuyoshi said with interest: "Oh, then you can talk about it." ”

"Yes," Ligao replied loudly, then walked to the map and pointed to Chadong and said: "In Chadong, the Zhina army has two armies of Fu Zuoyi, which they call the Jin army, and there is also an army of Sun Dianying, with a total strength of about 50,000 people, and if these 50,000 people plus the so-called volunteer army of nearly 100,000 people, then the total strength is 150,000, which is extremely impressive. As for whether Fu Zuoyi and Sun Dianying will participate in the Chadong counteroffensive, I have to judge that they will be inclined to do so. ”

Ligao paused at this point, looked at the three of Muto Nobuyoshi, and they smiled without saying anything, and then continued: "The basis for my judgment is Feng Yuxiang. ”

At this time, the three of Muto Nobuyoshi were a little confused, and Koiso Kuniaki couldn't help but ask: "Feng Yuxiang?" What does this have to do with him? ”

The information about Feng Yuxiang's preparation to erect a flag in Zhangjiakou to recruit troops Itagaki Seishiro had it before, but it was concluded at that time that this was a domestic problem in China and had nothing to do with the current war in China.

"Relevant," said Ligao, "General Itagaki has intelligence that Feng Yuxiang was recruiting troops under the banner of resistance, and our judgment at that time was that Feng Yuxiang's purpose was to target Chiang Kai-shek in Nanjing, and this judgment was correct. ”

"So, young man, what new insight do you have?" Muto Nobuyoshi asked suspiciously, he likes to make such a gesture of promoting the backwards, the young officers of the Kwantung Army Headquarters know that they can speak freely in front of the commander, and there is no loss if they say it wrong, as long as they say it correctly, the future will immediately brighten.

"Yes, Your Excellency Commander," said Ligao solemnly, "Chiang Kai-shek also judged in this way, so he sent his student Zhuang Jihua to Zhangjiakou. Zhuang Jihua's real purpose in Zhangjiakou is probably to deal with Feng Yuxiang, because Feng Yuxiang wants to recruit troops, and the fastest way is to recruit those volunteers who retreat to Chadong, but if these volunteers are recruited by Zhuang Jihua, Feng Yuxiang will not be able to organize any anti-Japanese alliance, and Zhuang Jihua wants to recruit them under his command, there is only one way, and also under the banner of resistance, and at the same time put forward a plan for Chadong's counteroffensive to attract these stubborn people who are against the empire. However, these people also knew that it was impossible to carry out a counteroffensive with their strength, so Zhuang Jihua must say that Fu Zuoyi would be mobilized to participate in the counteroffensive. This is the inference made by the lowly office. ”

Muto Nobuyoshi silently looked at the map, and then asked, "What do you think?" ”

"Your Excellency, I think Ligao Shaozuo is right." Okamura Ninji only half-listened to it and understood that China's counteroffensive in Chadong was not really a counteroffensive, but such a gimmick that had to be carried out for domestic political reasons. It's just that if this gimmick is really done, it will definitely add a lot of trouble to the actions of the imperial army on the Great Wall, after all, there are more than 100,000 people.

Koiso Kuniaki frowned slightly, he was a little dissatisfied with Okamura Ningji's preemptive answer, after all, nominally he was still Okamura's boss, and it was strictly said that this was a crime in this army, but now this situation made him a little unable to get angry, he reluctantly said: "Ligao Shaozuo's opinion is very unique, and he has a very construction surname." ”

Muto Nobuyoshi looked at Ligao support appreciatively, applauded gently, and then walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder: "Amazing, amazing, it's really terrifying, twenty years later, you will definitely become a pillar of the Imperial Army." ”

Ligao raised his head calmly and said: "The commander has an overreputation, this is the duty of the emperor!" ”

Muto Nobuyoshi nodded with satisfaction: "In that case, what measures do you say we should take?" ”

"In my opinion, we should take two measures, the first is to strengthen the defense of the front line of Duolun, Tuchengzi, and Fengning, there are only a few Manchurian troops in this area, and these armies are not strong in combat, so we must send additional imperial troops; Second, he asked General Itagaki to send someone to persuade Yan Xishan not to let Fu Zuoyi's troops participate, and at the same time sent someone to contact Feng Yuxiang to express his support for forming an anti-Japanese alliance. ”

The second suggestion of Ligao's support made everyone fall for granted, and Okamura Ninji was the first to react, and he couldn't help but applaud secretly, and Ligao continued to say: "I think that General Itagaki has made a mistake in his working methods, and our purpose is to split China, not necessarily that they support the Imperial Army with a clear banner, like Pu Yi; Rather, it should be as long as they don't cooperate with the Nanjing political axe, no matter what banner they play. ”

"Yo Xi, is it okay to oppose the banner of the Empire?" Muto Nobuyoshi stared at Tachitaka with stern eyes, as if he wanted to see through his inner world.

"Yes, it's okay to oppose the banner of the Empire." Ligao didn't even blink an eyelid.

"What do you say?" Muto Nobuyoshi turned around and asked Koiso Kuni, Showa and Okamura Ninji.

This time, Okamura did not answer first, and Koiso Kuniaki said without hesitation: "This is whimsical, which will fuel the anti-rhetoric of the Chinese people, and will not be conducive to the future conquest of North China by the Empire." ”

"I think it can," said Okamura Ninji, "although China is very weak now, China has a vast land and vast resources, and its war potential is amazing, so the strategy of the empire to conquer China is to gradually encroach on China in stages and steps." The most important thing to do is to distract the Chinese political axe from concentrating on the empire, and the Chinese situation is now well suited to such a strategy. However, we should also note that with the occupation of the three eastern provinces and Rehe by the Empire, the revolt of the Chinese people will inevitably increase, and their calls for political axe resistance will also become stronger. ”

Okamura paused and said: "Feng Yuxiang has a certain appeal in China, far more than Zhang Jingyao, and even more than Duan Qirui and Wu Peifu; Now several powerful factions in North China were once his subordinates, such as Song Zheyuan, Han Fuyu, and even Yang Hucheng in Shaanxi, who also fought under his command; If he can ascend to the heights and shout, and Chen Jitang and Li Zongren in the south echo again, Chiang Kai-shek may have to withdraw his troops from the Great Wall. ”

Okamura looked at the support of the Taka with appreciation: "The insight of the Rising Heights is outstanding, and he is worthy of the praise of the commander." ”

Muto Nobuyoshi showed a satisfied smile on his face, his bald head shook like a water scoop floating in a tank, and he laughed with a quacked smile: "Gentlemen, with your assistance, the power of this imperial army to climb the Great Wall is just around the corner." After turning around, he stood in front of Ligao and asked solemnly: "Ligao Shaozuo, are you willing to complete this mission?" ”

"I want to serve His Majesty the Emperor!" Ligao replied with his head held high.

"Okay, Major General Okamura, tell Itagaki-kun the result of our deliberations, and let Ristaka Shozo assist him in completing this mission." Muto Nobuyoshi ordered.

"Hello." Okamura replied with a chest held up.

That night, he boarded the train to Lushun. But just two hours after he left, news came that Sun Dianying's troops appeared near the paddock.
