Chapter 222: Old Maozi's Weakness
After a short thought, Yang Xingguo analyzed Zhou Zhongju: "For the Japanese, they have been preparing for this attack for too long. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"As long as there is a slight opportunity, they will not give up the war ......"
"And what we need to do is take advantage of that and keep the war going."
"The longer this battle between the great powers is fought, the more fierce it is, and the greater the attrition on both sides, the more beneficial it will be for our Liaodong Army......"
Zhou Zhong's eyes lit up, and he subconsciously said: "So, commander, you plan to help Lao Maozi to avoid Lao Maozi being defeated by the Japanese raid in a short period of time......
"That's what it means......" Yang Xingguo nodded in affirmation.
At the beginning, Zhou Zhongju was very receptive to this idea, after all, he also knew the truth that the snipe and the clam competed for, and the fisherman benefited.
However, it didn't take long for a hint of worry to surface on Zhou Zhongju's face.
frowned, and reminded Yang Xingguo: "Commander, we have eliminated so many people from Lao Maozi, will Lao Maozi believe our reminder?" ”
"I feel very mysterious, don't let Lao Maozi not only not believe us, but also let Lao Maozi think that we are deliberately sowing discord and tricking them into diverting their attention from us to the Japanese."
Yang Xingguo said with a look of approval: "Such a big thing, of course Lao Maozi will not believe it just by our words...... But, don't worry, I have other ways to convince Lao Maozi ......"
Speaking of this, Yang Xingguo unexpectedly showed a thick confident smile on his face.
Facing Zhou Zhongju, who was still full of worry, he directly ordered: "If I'm not mistaken, there are several regiment commanders among the thousands of captives we have captured, second uncle, you find someone who is tough, I can ...... it."
Half an hour later, a rebellious old hairy colonel was brought into the headquarters.
Except for the translator and a few henchmen, everyone else was blasted out by Yang Xingguo.
After the command was completely quiet and there were no outsiders, Yang Xingguo said directly to Colonel Lao Maozi: "No accident, the purpose of your coming to Liaodong. It should be Japanese. The reason why this place appeared and was wiped out by our Liaodong Army was caused by your Lushun Land Defense Command......"
As soon as the translator finished translating his words, Colonel Lao Maozi showed a stunned and shocked expression on his face.
to Yang Xingguo. Subconsciously asked, "How do you know......
Yang Xingguo smiled and replied in a surprising voice: "You may not know that the news that the Japanese are about to attack Liaodong on a large scale is the ...... I passed on to you as the commander of Lushun Land Defense."
"Also, I forgot to introduce myself to you. I am the target of your encirclement and suppression, Yang Xingguo, commander of the Liaodong Army, ......"
At this time, the shocked expression on Colonel Maozi's face became even stronger.
looked at Yang Xingguo with an incredulous face, and was speechless for a long time.
Yang Xingguo didn't plan to give him too much time to react.
After only taking a sip of water, he continued: "There is one more thing that I haven't told you, the news that your three divisions were wiped out by my Liaodong Army, until now, my Liaodong Army has not worn out......"
For the head of Lao Maozi, he obviously didn't think that whether the news spread out or not had anything to do with him.
So, after the translation is finished. The head of the old Maozi regiment showed a confused expression on his face.
Yang Xingguo smiled, and continued without waiting for the other party to speak: "Think about it, if we spread this news, and it still reaches the ears of the Japanese, what do you think the Japanese will do when your Liaodong garrison has just lost three divisions......
"Take advantage of the weakness, enter Liaodong, and catch us ......off guard" As soon as the translator finished speaking, Colonel Lao Maozi blurted out.
Yang Xingguo nodded and continued to ask, "Then what do you think?" With the current strength of your Liaodong garrison, can you block the thunderous attack of the Japanese and hold Liaodong......"
This time, Colonel Lao Maozi did not answer.
But. His increasingly ugly face had already told Yang Xingguo that the Liaodong garrison could not stop the Japanese attack.
Because, if the Liaodong garrison can block the Japanese, there is no need to run to the Far East Command to ask for reinforcements, and the three main divisions where they are located will come as soon as they are dispatched.
After a full minute, Colonel Maozi, who had a gloomy face, spoke, "I understand. Do you want to use this as a condition to blackmail our Liaodong garrison......"
"No......" Yang Xingguo quickly shook his head and denied.
"I don't mean to blackmail you...... Besides, even if I want to blackmail, I don't have the strength to ......."
"And what do you want to do?" Colonel Lao Maozi continued to ask with a gloomy face.
"Deal, I'm going to make a deal with your Land Defense Command......" Yang Xingguo didn't hide it, and replied very briskly.
"As long as your Land Defense Command can agree to a few conditions for me, I will agree to continue to conceal the news of the destruction of your three divisions. As for how to do it, don't worry, I have a way to do it......"
"Second, I can also put back the thousands of people who have captured you. With thousands of prisoners, plus some garrisons, your land defense commander can easily reorganize two main divisions, and two main divisions that can be put into battle at any time......"
After hearing these two quid pro quo, especially the second one, Colonel Maozi's eyes quickly shot out two scorching gazes.
For the Liaodong garrison, which was somewhat understaffed, the strength of the two main divisions was life-saving at many critical moments.
The colonel was sure that at the critical juncture when the Japanese were about to attack Liaodong, as long as Yang Xingguo's offer was not a lion's mouth, the Lushun Land Defense Command would agree to the deal.
Of course, the regimental commander did not lose his mind because of excitement.
After forcibly suppressing the excitement in his heart, he continued to ask Yang Xingguo in his calmest tone as much as possible: "I want to know your conditions......
"Two conditions ......," Yang Xingguo replied without thinking about it.
"The first one is weapons and ammunition, I want 10,000 rounds of mountain artillery shells, 500,000 rounds of heavy machine gun bullets, 1.5 million rounds of rifle ammunition......"
"Second, I want the four counties around Liaozhong, including Anshan......"
"As long as the weapons are in hand, all your Russian troops will withdraw from the four county towns around Liaozhong. I will return all the prisoners to you, and announce to the public that the three divisions that have attacked Liaozhong have taken the initiative to retreat......"
At this time, a question suddenly arose in the head of the old Maozi group, and he asked Yang Xingguo.
"Don't you worry, after you send our captives back, our two reorganized main divisions will send troops to encircle and suppress you?"
Yang Xingguo shook his head and replied: "There is no chance......
"As far as I know, in two months at most, the Japanese will launch an attack on Liaodong. You don't have time to encircle us......"
"Also, it's better to have one more friend than one more enemy. As long as you, the Lushun Land Defense Command, our Liaodong Army is willing to make friends with your Russian army for the time being......" (To be continued. )
