On 20 August, a statement by the Beidi Volunteers was published in the media: "The Japanese and Japanese armies have launched a full-scale war of aggression against China, and the Northland Volunteers are ready to defend the northern defense area to the death, and warn the Japanese and Japanese troops not to harm innocent people, otherwise, the Northland Volunteers will carry out frenzied retaliation against the Japanese army."

The statement issued by the Northland Volunteers is a bit abrupt, resisting Japan is a very normal thing, why do you have nothing to do with a statement?

Obviously, this move of the Northland Volunteers is a bit of a snake.

Although the statement of the Northland Volunteers condemned the aggression of the Japanese army, the focus was on warning the Japanese army not to harm innocent people.

In fact, this so-called statement has no effect on the barbaric Japanese army at all, and it is still the same what people should do, and the soldiers of the army do not care about this, besides, they are busy fighting, who cares about reading the newspaper.

Lao Jiang read this report and felt sour.

Nima, who used to see the excitement of Fengtian, now it is just the other way around, the war is all fought on his own territory, and the territory of the Northland Volunteers is quiet.

The little devil too, why didn't you attack the north this time, but attack the southern region with all your might, it doesn't make sense?

The hatred between the Japanese and Fengtian, that is simply the enmity of the heavens, for the Northland volunteers who are close to Mao Fang do not fight, and they are specially used to deal with me?

Niang Xipi!

Lao Jiang was very conflicted in his heart, and he wanted to pull Feng Tian into the war, but there was no good way.

If in the name of the national government, let Feng Tian lead the army south to fight the little devils, this is a good way.

However, Lao Jiang was worried that this guy was too capable of fighting, and if he gained a firm foothold in the Central Plains, he would be in big trouble in the future.

According to Feng Tian's previous battle examples, Lao Jiang was confident that his ability could not deal with Feng Tian.

Let's take the Battle of Songhu as an example, the weapons were all bought from Fengtian, and the weapons and equipment of the Beidi Volunteer Army were almost the same, and the number of troops was even more amazing.

The four-to-one superiority in strength only stopped the advance of the Japanese army, and it seemed to be somewhat difficult to drive the Japanese army into the sea.

Obviously, Chairman Chiang had overestimated his own abilities in the past.

Also, the Kwantung Army, which can fight the armed forces in every place in Fengtian, is looking for teeth all over the place, and when it encounters the powerful armed forces of the government army, it will definitely be better than the Northland Volunteers, and Chairman Chiang's self-confidence comes from this.

Since he is so confident, why did Chairman Jiang delay making a nickname?

It's not that he has too many ideas in his heart, Chairman Chiang wants to borrow the strength of the Japanese to clear the obstacles.

Previously, whether it was Zhang Xueliang or Song Zheyuan, Lao Jiang hoped that they would withstand the attack of the Japanese army, but he was careful to avoid the expansion of the situation and involve the Nationalist Government.

Chairman Chiang sent a telegram to Song Zheyuan, "Based on the principle of safeguarding territorial integrity, we should handle procuratorial matters with proper care."

Chairman Chiang once called Song Zheyuan, Qin Dechun (deputy commander of the 29th Army and mayor of Beiping City) and others, "Wanping City should be held and not retreated."

Chairman Chiang hoped that the Northeast Army would stick to Jinzhou and Shanhaiguan, and did not mention the all-out War of Resistance, but Zhang Xueliang did not say anything, saying that the Northeast Army "is not for the broken jade, but for the whole tile."

The Northeast Army retreated step by step, which really annoyed Lao Jiang.

Even Song Zheyuan said: "If anyone believes that Lao Jiang is sincere in resisting Japan, it is a strange thing." ”

Lao Jiang's hope is one thing, he wants Zhang Xueliang to resist the Japanese army and keep Jinzhou and Hebei, but Xiao Zhang is determined not to confront the Japanese and Japanese, Lao Jiang will not resist Japan for a day, and I will not resist Japan, first maintain the strength of the Northeast Army.

Both sides calculated well, but let the nation fall into trouble.

The fact that the Japanese army did not pay attention to this statement issued by Feng Tian does not mean that the Japanese army staff headquarters does not pay attention to it.

Is this statement a nickname?

What does Feng Tian want to do?

Although the Japanese were not afraid of the Northland Volunteers taking the initiative to attack, they also did not want to fight the Northland Volunteers at this critical time, and once they started a war with the Northland Volunteers, they would inevitably contain the strength of the Japanese Army.

After all, the Japanese army fought on two fronts in the south and the north, and with the war with Lao Maozi's army, the imperial army was now fighting on three fronts.

If the war starts on the fourth front, will the Japanese army be busy?

The Minister of the Japanese Army, Hayashi Mijuro, and Prince Yahito, the Minister of War of the Army, and Prince Yahito of the Army General Staff Headquarters were worried, and they couldn't figure out what Feng Tian's intentions were.

Lin Mi Shilang's twentieth division perished in Feng Tian's hands, and he had a bitter hatred for Feng Tian, and said hatefully: "What does Feng Tian want to do, is he ready to take the initiative to attack the Kwantung Army?"

This guy has a bad idea and is always engaged in intrigues.

However, if the Northland Volunteers take the initiative to attack the Kwantung Army, the Imperial Army will not be afraid, and it will be too late to welcome, so that the Imperial Kwantung Army will take this opportunity to take revenge and wash away the shame of our Imperial Army. ”

It's no wonder that Lin Mi Shilang held a grudge, but when he was the commander of the leading army in the Korean War, the only two divisions under his command were destroyed by the heavens at once, which made his face very shameless.

On the contrary, the head of the army staff headquarters, Prince Kanin Miyazaihito, was much calmer and persuaded: "No, the front of the imperial army in this war is too large, almost all the troops have already participated in the war, and there is no reserve army in the country.

The expansion of the army in the country will take time, and the current progress of the Songhu campaign is not very ideal, and it is possible to continue to replenish the troops.

Moreover, the next step in the expansion of the domestic army needs to give priority to meeting the needs of the Songhu campaign.

Although the Imperial Kwantung Army still had five divisions in reserve, it was one thing to guard against the Northland Volunteers, and more importantly, these armies had to support the northern operations and deal with sudden unfavorable war situations. ”

The Minister of War Hayashi said nonchalantly: "In the past, it was the Imperial Army that took the initiative to attack the Northland Volunteers, and they made the mistake of underestimating the enemy's rash advance, and were framed by the trap set by the heavens.

This time, it was not the imperial army that took the initiative to attack, Feng Tian just wanted to play conspiracy, and it is estimated that there was no way to do it.

The Kwantung Army has a strength of five divisions, and in my opinion, three divisions are enough to deal with the attack of the Northland Volunteers. ”

"It's not that the Imperial army is afraid of the Northland Volunteers, it's that the current battle situation has not yet appeared in favor of the Empire. Judging from the situation in the north, the initial period was quite smooth.

However, there has been no breakthrough in the west of the mountains so far, and it is even more difficult to say in the south, after all, Lao Chiang used 800,000 troops.

There is no need to make any extraneous complications now, and it seems to be more beneficial to the empire to deal with Fengtian after a period of time when the empire's expansion plan is completed, or when the battle situation has changed decisively.

Therefore, it is time to restrain the dispatched troops, not to kill the people casually, and create an excuse for Fengtian. "Prince Zaihito, the head of the Army General Staff, said bitterly and dissuaded the Minister of War, Hayashi Mijuro, not to stimulate Feng Tian to carry out retaliatory actions.

Endure the sea and the sky for a while, why bother to stimulate Feng Tian's nerves at this critical time?

Prince Zaihito of the Idle Palace insisted again and again, and Hayashi had no choice but to agree, and issued the latest order to restrain the behavior of the army. (To be continued.) )
