[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 1012: The Vicious Okamura (Ask for subscription!) , ask for a monthly pass, ask for everything! ）

On November 23, Yang Chengwu's troops launched a tentative attack on Beiping City, the old nest of the North China Front, but they were met with stubborn resistance from the Japanese puppet army, and the fighting troops did not make any progress for a whole day, and even several defensive lines on the periphery of Beiping were not taken.

At the same time, the news coming back from the city of Beiping was even more shocking. Okamura Ninji was determined to destroy the entire Beiping together, and starting from the defense line outside the city, the Japanese army had planted a large number of mines in the entire periphery of Beiping, and the number was extremely alarming. According to the secret report of Wang Jitang and Wang Kemin, Okamura Ninji dispatched four wings of engineers alone in order to lay mines.

So now the whole of Beiping is full of mines and bombs, if most of the mines are detonated or demolished, I am afraid that even if they get the city of Beiping, it will only be a ruin.

The most outrageous thing is that Okamura Ninji, the old devil, actually planted more than 3,000 bombs in the Forbidden City, and he wanted to destroy this modern palace complex of great historical significance in China, and once the battle did not go well, he would be wiped out with the Forbidden City.

When the news came, Yang Chengwu and the others were stunned, and secretly said that the old Wang Ba of Okamura was too insidious and vicious, this was a naked threat.

Yang Chengwu and others did not dare to make an arbitrary claim, and immediately reported the situation to Datong and asked for instructions.

After reading the telegram, Ma Zheng couldn't sit still. The Forbidden City's place in Chinese history is not comparable to that of ordinary landmarks, and it would be a shame if it were destroyed in war.

Immediately, Ma Zheng went to Beiping by car and personally commanded the battle of Beiping.

On the afternoon of the 24th, Ma Zheng's motorvoy arrived outside Beiping City and listened to the report of Yang Chengwu and others in Shahe Town, Changping.

In the conference room, a cadre of the Suicha Military Region sat around a large sand table, listening to Yang Chengwu's report.

"Commander, the general situation is like this, if we attack strongly, not to mention whether we can completely annihilate those Japanese puppet troops in the city, at least Beiping City will become a ruin, including the Forbidden City!"

After listening to Yang Chengwu's report, Ma Zheng was silent for a while and asked, "Is the news accurate?" ”

"It was sent back by Wang Kemin and Wang Jitang, and at the same time our intelligence officers verified it, it shouldn't be wrong!" Yang Chengwu replied.

"Is it possible to have the puppet army dismantle the little devil's explosives from the city when we attack?" Ma Zheng asked again.

"It's very difficult, you know, the quality of the puppet army is like that, not to mention that no one may know how to defuse bombs, and even if someone does, it is impossible to dismantle tens of thousands of mines and thousands of time bombs at the same time in a short period of time. And if one of those explosives explodes, the others will explode in a very short time! ”

Ma Zheng nodded and said, "If your troops attack strongly, how long will it take to attack the city?" ”

Yang Chengwu thought for a while and replied: "Judging from the situation of yesterday's attack, the Japanese army has made very adequate preparations, and the officers and men are determined to die, and the resistance is very tenacious. Without the assistance of the puppet army, it would have taken us at least a week to break down the Japanese defense line outside the city of Beiping. But now Wang Jitang and Wang Kemin are willing to cooperate with us, and with their assistance, we can attack the city in three days at most. ”

"Three days?"

Hearing Yang Chengwu's answer, Ma Zheng's brows couldn't help frowning! Three days is too long, and even the use of special combat teams will not help.

"Commander, if you don't attack it, isn't it just a city, haven't we been destroyed in the past few years, don't you care about a Beiping city!" Wen Wenwu said.

"Yes, we can still rebuild the city after it is destroyed, and we must not let go of those little devils in the city, especially the old Wang Ba of Okamura Ningji!" Wu Bing also said.

Ma Zheng shook his head and said: "Beiping is by no means different from any other city, his position is very important, this is a representative of the history of China or the world. The city has witnessed the succession and development of historical dynasties, and at the same time highlights the unparalleled status of Chinese history in the world. It is not only a synonym for China, but also an indispensable part of history in the world. ”

Then Ma Zheng continued: "Comrades, the early establishment of Beiping and the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty have been inherited from now on, and they stand in the world forest of the nation in the ancient capital of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. It is the most important political center, cultural center, international exchange center, and scientific and technological innovation center in northern China. Therefore, this city must not be destroyed in our hands, otherwise we will be scolded by future generations for thousands of years! ”

"So what to do? If you can't fight it, do you want to negotiate with the little devils and let them take the initiative to defuse those bombs in the city? The grumpy Bilig said loudly.

Hearing this, Ma Zheng's eyes lit up, he looked at Bi Lige and said, "What you said may not be a solution!" ”

"Ahh Commander, you don't really want to negotiate with the little devils in Beiping City, do you? Xu Yinghui, who came together, looked at Ma Zheng in surprise.

In the eyes of Xu Yinghui and others, Ma Zheng is the kind of hero who is not afraid of heaven and earth, many times he can be called iron-blooded, and he doesn't care about anything else at all, but he didn't expect to be suppressed by the little devil's method today, and he has to negotiate with the little devil in the case of taking advantage of it.

Ma Zheng nodded and said: "The historical status of Beiping City cannot be ignored, and the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in the city cannot be ignored. I don't care what future generations scold me, but I'm afraid that hundreds of thousands of civilians will die in the city because of our decision. ”

"Commander, there are sixty or seventy thousand little devils in the city, if all these tens of thousands of Japanese puppet troops are wiped out, the Japanese army in North China will be equivalent to losing its elite. If you negotiate, you will inevitably let the tiger go back to the mountain, and all your efforts will be wasted! Yang Chengwu said in a deep voice.

Ma Zheng nodded and said: "I don't understand this truth, but now we are not only facing the problem of the destruction of Beiping, but also how to ensure the safety of the lives of the people in the city, in addition, as you said, there are fifty or sixty thousand little devils in the city, plus an unknown number of Japanese expatriates, if we look at the battle situation in the past few days, what will be our casualties in the capture of Beiping City?" ”

Yang Chengwu frowned and said: "We have also predicted before, after deduction, after conquering Beiping City and annihilating the little devils in the city, the casualties of our army will reach more than 50,000, of which the death toll may reach 30,000." ”

Now everyone is silent, with such heavy casualties plus a historical city and the lives of hundreds of millions of people in exchange for sixty or seventy thousand little devils, this deal is definitely not cost-effective!

"Commander, have you ever thought about it, if we negotiate with the Japanese army in this situation, what will the people in the country think, and what will the national government think?" Xu Yinghui reminded.

"Don't be afraid, our Suicha Military Region stood up on the corpse of a little ghost, even if we let Okamura Ningji and these tens of thousands of Japanese troops go, no one will say that we are defecting to the enemy and betraying the country, because our two sides are already as deep as the sea, and there is absolutely no possibility of reconciliation!" Ma Zheng said.

"Commander, will the Central Committee agree to us negotiating with the little devils?" Yang Chengwu asked.

Ma Zheng thought for a while and said: "I don't know, but let's report the actual situation here first, it's a matter for the leaders to disagree, what we have to do is to be ready for negotiation!" ”

"Yes!"

......

After receiving Ma Zheng's urgent telegram from the Beiping front, the princes of Yan'an realized the trickiness of the matter. Okamura, the old devil, is obviously preparing to take Beiping City and hundreds of thousands of people in the city to bury him and his army, in this case, Ma Zheng's troops can certainly recover Beiping City, but what about after the recovery?

Not to mention that what you can get is just a ruin, who is responsible for the casualties of hundreds of thousands of people in the city alone? Japanese?

The Chinese people will definitely not let go of the Japanese, but the Eighth Route Army may not be able to please them, after all, it is the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people!

Besides, if this style of play continues, even if Ma Zheng's department wins, it will be a miserable victory, and the casualties will inevitably reach a shocking number. During this time, Ma Zheng's department has already suffered tens of thousands of casualties, and if tens of thousands of people are killed or wounded, whether the Suicha Military Region can hold on is another matter.

After some consideration, the chairman personally called Ma Zheng back, and the message was only two words: "Agreed!" ”
