"There is indeed a sense of arrogance in the Kwantung Army, and with the lessons of this defeat, His Excellency the Commander has just done a great job of reorganizing and avoiding a repeat of the mistakes of the past in the future. In addition, Jiang Li's 15th Route Army should also attract the attention of the empire, Jiang Li is not only a fierce and strange military strategist, but his vision of army construction is even more rare among the Chinese people. The army sent to Luo Wenyu this time, except for armored vehicles, was almost no longer inferior to the imperial army. It was even equipped with anti-aircraft weapons that even the Reich did not massively equip with. According to intelligence, Jiang Li purchased a batch of oil smelting equipment last month to increase the exploitation of Yanchang oil mines. Not only that, but some intelligence also showed that in addition to rebuilding the arsenal in Gansu, Jiang Li also built a steel mill of unknown scale. There is already a preliminary military production system, which is not even better for the Nanjing government. He believes that in time, Jiang Li's threat will be greater than that of Nanjing. ”

Okamura Ninji said in a deep voice, "The volunteers of the Tohoku must be beaten to death with a stick to prevent their resurgence. At this time, the Kwantung Army did not have more troops to draw from it, and if the 6th and 8th Divisions, the 14th and the 33rd Mixed Brigade reinforced later were gathered into a rope, they could break the enemy with one blow, but after occupying Rehe, the long front of more than 400 kilometers from the Zhina Shanhaiguan to Gubeikou not only dispersed the troops, but also added great difficulties to the logistics. Especially at this time, the 6th Division suffered heavy losses. In the sense of military science, the Kwantung Army, which was heading south, had lost the ability to continue the offensive. If the Chinese people are to fight back, they may not be able to hold the territory they have already occupied, even with their existing forces. ”

"Well, that's my opinion too. There is an emergency mobilization going on at the base camp. But far water does not quench the thirst of near. Britain and the United States and other countries have threatened if the war continues. Coalition forces will be sent to land from Shandong. Under pressure from Europe and the United States, the stronghold but the empire needs to end this war with dignity, not now. Matsui nodded and said.

"Chiang Kai-shek was still in Nanchang at this time to supervise the suppression of the Communist Party. He also asked Wang Jingwei to replace Song Ziwen to preside over the Nationalist Government, and this Wang Jingwei was not a staunch main combatant. Moreover, at this time, Nanjing was at the most critical time of suppressing the Communist Party, and presumably did not want to continue the war, as long as it was not too disgraceful, it would surely reach an agreement with the empire on the North China issue again. As for the timing, I think it's time to negotiate with the people of China again. After all the follow-up troops of the reinforcements entered the designated place, they could gather as many aviation troops as possible to deal with the 15th Route Army of China, and it was still possible to end the war with dignity. Okamura Ninji smiled slightly.

"Yes, it deserves to be the brains of the Kwantung Army. Okamura-kun, that's why I transferred you from the north. In fact, the empire had already secretly contacted the representatives of the Nanjing side to negotiate the end of the war, but what results could be achieved still depended on the performance of the Kwantung Army on the battlefield. Negotiations will be fine with diplomats, and I think we should achieve more favorable results militarily than the Empire. Matsui Ishone had a satisfied smile on his face, and thanks to Okamura Ninji's outstanding performance, Matsui Ishone had given him more tasks.

"Thank you, Your Excellency, Commander, for your trust!" Okamura nodded.

After confirming the policy of war, Japan once again offered the pretext of peace talks. In order to delay time, although he knew that the Japanese army had used this trick several times. But as long as it works, no matter how indiscriminate, it is also a good trick. At this time, the 17th Army sent by Nanjing and the 29th Army of Song Zheyuan had been fighting with the Japanese army for several months. The main force of the Northeast Army has been withdrawn to the rear to rest and recuperate, and although Wang Tiehan has the intention to fight again, it is not easy for the Japanese army to enter the Great Wall Pass, and it is not easy for the 1st Army to fight out for the time being. In the case that Gubeikou and Xifengkou are unable to counterattack, he will lead an army to kill Luo Wenyu and become a lone army, and there is a danger of being destroyed by the Japanese army. In addition, after several consecutive battles, the temporary consumption of the 1st Army was not small, so he rested in the area of Luo Wenyu, and sent a part of his troops to support the main force of the 29th Army stationed at Xifengkou with Liu Ruming.

The Japanese army mixed the 33rd Brigade and launched an attack on Luandong successively, capturing the Shimenzhai area, Shang Zhen's 32nd Army, He Zhuguo's 57th Army, Yang Zhengzhi's 53rd Army and the Japanese army repeatedly fought and killed, and due to the intervention of the League of Nations, the Japanese army's concerns, Luandong changed hands repeatedly.

After the deployment of the army was in place, the Japanese army captured Luandong again, and at the same time, the main force of the 8th Division attacked the position of the 17th Army in Xinkailing at night. Huang Jie, Du Jianming, and Liu Jian fought hard with the Japanese army for three days, suffered heavy losses, and were unable to fight again, so they ordered a retreat, and the heavy town of Shiqiao and Miyun fell one after another. The Beiping Army Branch urgently transferred Fu Zuoyi's 59th Army, and Xiao Zhichu's division of the Nanjing 26th Army gathered in Beiping, and at the same time ordered Feng Qinya's 42nd Division and Zhang Zhibang's 2nd Division and 1st Brigade sent by Yang Hucheng to Beiping to meet the 17th Army. At this time, in the Luanhe area, the Japanese army mixed into the 33rd Brigade and the 14th Division and the 28th Brigade were transferred to cross the river from Gaotaizi, Ninjakou and other places. The 29th Army stationed at Xifengkou was forced to retreat to the west of the Luanhe River and jointly defend the Luanxi area with Wang Yizhe's 67th Army. At this time, the Japanese army once again showed amazing efficiency, fighting all night, and a force broke through the gap between the 29th Army and the 67th Army. Wang Yizhe's 67th Army retreated one after another, and Song Zheyuan's 29th Army insisted on fighting hard alone for nearly six days, and finally had to retreat westward because it was outnumbered.

When the battle on the front line was the most intense, there was also a poignant decision at the negotiating table at this time, because the secret negotiations between China and Japan in Beiping also reached a critical moment, in order to make the Japanese army agree to an armistice, the Beiping Army Branch ordered He Zhuguo, Wang Yizhe, Wan Fulin and other troops to withdraw to the line of Ninghe and Baodi, and Song Zheyuan's troops to withdraw to Sanhe and Pinggu. As a result, the Japanese army attacked Luanxi as usual and did not encounter any resistance.

"Niang Xipi, Wang Tiehan has moved the military headquarters to the front line, Yang Jie is still commanding hundreds of miles away, I really think that I can strategize and win a thousand miles. Wang Tiehan's army and the Japanese army fought a record of nearly 1 to 1, and the casualty ratio of the central army, the local army and the Japanese army was nearly 12 to 1. Does it mean that Jiang Li's 15th Route Army can also fight several corps of the Central Army! ”

Chairman Chiang threw the telegram on the table and cursed. This armistice with the Japanese army was already disgraceful. The vast number of patriotic officers and soldiers in the country are in full swing. More than 19,920 people were killed and more than 29,730 were seriously wounded. The proportion of more than 11,200 Japanese killed and more than 7,200 wounded seems reasonable, but if you exclude the battles between Zhuang Huchen and Weng Zhaoyuan Chengde, as well as the Luo Wenyu victory fought by Wang Tiehan's temporary 1st army, it killed nearly 9,000 Japanese soldiers and injured thousands of Japanese soldiers. There are other armies on the Nanjing side, and the achievements they have made are a little difficult to mention. (There is no intention of discrediting the Anti-Japanese War Army, and several materials have shown that the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War * Army has accumulated nearly 40,000 casualties before and after, and the Japanese army is about 2,600.) The war is not as rosy as it is in the TV series, at least in the early and middle stages, and it seems difficult to see the hope of victory. (To be continued.) )
