[The Iron Blood King of the Anti-Japanese Army] Chapter 84: Show the enemy to be weak

Although the Jining military parade of the Seventh Brigade did not invite the Nationalist Government and the generals of the Second War Zone to watch the ceremony, let alone the Japanese army, some details about the parade were soon presented on the desks of Chairman Chiang of Wuhan and General Terauchi Shouichi, commander of the North China Front Army in Beiping.

Whether it is the military commander or the intelligence officers of the special high school of the Japanese army, their reports are full of adjectives such as powerful, shocking, and incredible.

This time, Ma Zheng's Duqi Brigade completely walked into the sight of Chairman Jiang and Terauchi Shouichi, and Chairman Chiang and Terauchi Shouichi made the same decision at different locations at the same time, that is, to immediately send someone to secretly collect information about Ma Zheng and the army under his command, and to find out why this army could become so powerful and difficult in such a short period of time.

The Duqi Brigade became famous, and Ma Zheng became popular, but the Japanese cried. Of course, this is just a metaphor, not that Shouichi Terauchi cried after reading the report, and there was no such thing.

In the report, Aiko Sato expressed surprise at the combat effectiveness and fighting will displayed by the 7th Brigade, and at the same time expressed her feelings at the sophistication of the 7th Brigade's weapons and equipment.

In the end, Aiko Sato commented on the Duqi Brigade: "It was a terrible army, they were well equipped, they were high-spirited, and they had strong discipline, and in time, this Chinese army would be the greatest obstacle to the holy war of the Japanese Empire." ”

Regarding the combat effectiveness of the Duqi Brigade, the North China Front already has some understanding. Every time you fight with this army, no matter how many troops the imperial army sends, you will underestimate the combat effectiveness of this army, and the final result will be a disgraced and disgraced.

After listening to Aiko Sato's report and also looking at the photos of the parade that the spy secretly got back, Shouichi Terauchi felt a little weak in his heart. Fortunately, there was no rash attack on this army during this time, otherwise the consequences would have been extremely serious.

This is not to say that the more than 400,000 troops of the North China Front are really afraid of the Duqi Brigade, after all, no matter how awesome the Duqi Brigade is, it is only one brigade, and there are only five or six thousand people in the sky. However, with the military quality and fighting will of this army, coupled with their sophisticated equipment that was not inferior to that of the Imperial Japanese Army, even if the front army had the strength to completely annihilate this army, it would not be possible to do it in three days or two days.

If it had been left behind, General Terauchi Shouichi would certainly not hesitate to launch a full-scale advance against that hateful Shina army. However, it is not possible now, and the newly formulated battle plan of the base camp orders the North China Front Army to cooperate with the Central China Front Army and must completely annihilate the Chinese government army on the Xuzhou battlefield.

This almost used 80% of the strength of the North China Front, so at this time it is best not to clash with the big hedgehog of the Duqi Brigade, once it is entangled, it will inevitably affect the strategy of the base camp to annihilate the main force of the government army in China, and this responsibility cannot be borne by Shouichi Teramichi.

Shouichi Terauchi was fortunate and felt a huge pressure at the same time, and he didn't know if he didn't see it, and he was shocked when he saw it. The most terrible thing is that this army is only 120 kilometers away from Zhangjiakou, where the headquarters of the Mongolian army is located, and less than 300 kilometers away from Beiping.

It can be said that this Duqi Brigade can pose a fatal threat to the front army, but I don't know why the hateful general of China changed his normal state and took the initiative to show his hole cards, what does he want to do?

General Terauchi Shouichi really couldn't guess Ma Zheng's thoughts, and Ma Zheng's strategy of taoguang and obscurity was extremely successful before. In less than half a year, not only did a remnant of the Japanese army develop into today's Seventh Brigade, but also achieved brilliant results, and the army lost by the Japanese army in his hands added up to six or seven thousand people, which is not counting the puppet army.

If it were according to normal people's thoughts, they would continue to implement this tactic of taoguang and obscurity, and they would be yin people again and again. Just like this time, if Ma Zheng hadn't exposed his fangs himself, I'm afraid that Terauchi Shouyi would have been fooled again.

In fact, Ma Zheng's idea is not complicated, the army is to protect the family and defend the country, it is a kind of violent machine of the country against the country, it is the hole card for safeguarding the core interests of the country, and it is the continuation, extension and upgrade of politics and diplomacy.

As a machine of violence, the important task of the military is to effectively defend national interests and ensure that it is "available, used, and used well" at critical moments, rather than as a beautiful landscape for people to visit like a zoo. However, the problem now is that because China's national defense forces are not uniform, it is filled with a large number of local warlord forces, such as the Northeast Army, the Northwest Army, the Jin Sui Army, the Sichuan Army, the Guizhou Army, the Yunnan Army, the Hunan Army, and the Gui Army.

Although these local warlords are also bent on resisting Japan, they also have some cheating and tricks, using various excuses to preserve their strength. In particular, those warlords have regarded the military as a tool for their own wealth and power, and China's national defense force has become as fragile as paper. In the eyes of the Japanese, the Chinese army has really become a tiger and lion in a zoo, which has lost its wildness, and can be killed with a few sticks.

From ancient times to the present, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, the military parade itself is a symbol of deterrence, and it is really contrary to common sense to use it as a pretext for "peace" in later generations. The military parade is a naked display of force, a flex of muscles against a hostile country. The purpose of the parade is to boost the morale of the soldiers, enhance the determination and courage of the people to support the country's war behavior, and deter the enemy and opponent to achieve the goal of "surrendering the army without a fight." This is the purpose of the parade.

The purpose of holding this military parade was to let the Japanese army see whether there was a dragon or a worm on the Chahar territory, and to discourage them from launching an attack on Chahar.

Ma Zheng believed that with this show of muscles, the Japanese army would not dare to act rashly until they were completely sure. Ma Zheng wants to set an example for those big and small warlords and bastards who are ready to defect to the enemy and treason, don't hide it, who dares to touch you if you have the strength, the more obscene you behave, the more some people will bully you.

Even if you don't have that strength, but if you have the courage to look at death as home, no one will dare to underestimate you, blindly "forbear", blindly seek "peace", and in the end you can only get the passive imposition of war.

Now that he has done this, it is a benchmark, and in the future, many patriotic soldiers like him will follow suit, and then little Japan will see China's courage and even more China's strength.

This idea and purpose Terauchi Shouichi may be able to think of, but the deeper reason Terauchi Shouichi will never think of it.

There is an idea of showing off his muscles, but Ma Zheng's real purpose is to show weakness and dig a hole.

Indeed, this purpose is absolutely unthinkable to ordinary people, since you are showing off your muscles, why do you say that it is showing weakness, because Ma Zheng just showed off the calf muscles, and the real thigh muscles and chest muscles and abdominal muscles are still hidden.

In fact, Ma Zheng can't do anything about this, the little devil is now hurt by him, especially this time, he quietly killed four divisions of the puppet army, and also took down seven county towns one after another, which greatly deterred the Japanese puppet army.

People, the largest air force is because they don't know anything about the enemy, because they don't know anything, so they will imagine your strength to an infinite extent. In this way, to be on the safe side, the next time they come to attack you, they will definitely show the means of fighting the rabbit, even if you claim to be just a brigade, they will treat you as a soldier.

But now it's different, Ma Zheng showed all the "hole cards", I am so many people, the reason why I can achieve such brilliant results is entirely because of the high quality of our soldiers, our excellent weapons and equipment, plus your light enemy, so you are not unjustly defeated.

In this way, Ma Zheng used this military parade to draw a line in the hearts of the senior generals of the Japanese army, making them believe that there was only one brigade of troops in the southern Chanan area, and there were only five or six thousand people when the battle was full. So how many people will come the next time the Japanese army comes to attack him, 10,000 or 15,000? That's how much it is, not even that.

But in fact, Ma Zheng's division has now exceeded 17,000 people, and if the tactics are used properly, it will be another big victory. Therefore, Ma Zheng's purpose is to show off his muscles on the surface, but in fact, he is really showing weakness to the enemy.
