When the Japanese saw Sun Dianying coming in, they immediately stood up and bowed and said, "General Sun, don't come unharmed, it's okay during this time?" ”

Sun Dianying snorted and said, "Mr. Ishishita, I am the National Army, you are a representative of the Japanese army, the two of us should have been old and dead, I don't know if you came to me again and again this time, what are you doing." ”

Shi Xia said with a smile: "General Sun, where did you start with this, China and Japan are separated by a strip of water, originally a friendly alliance, in the past, your Premier Sun Xian was able to succeed thanks to the funding of our country, so we have always had a good impression of your country, and we finally became into this situation, but it was just the insistence of Jiang Intermediary and the Red Party to sow discord." ”

Sun Dianying waved his hand, and Mazi's face was full of disdain and said, "Don't say it's useless, let's say it, what's the matter?" If it's all right, I'm going to drop it off. ”

Shishita knew that Sun Dianying was originally a bandit, and he always thought he was a hero, and he often did not pay attention to morality to people and things, but talked about righteousness, but this righteousness could not stand in the face of interests, and he could be said to be a typical green forest character.

Ishishita said directly, "The imperial army has suffered a lot of losses in the past two months, do you know why?" ”

Sun Dianying closed his eyes and nodded, "Salt!" ”

Shixia shook his head and said, "It's this salt, I don't know why, there are countless salt dealers in the whole of North China, these people are all bold and powerful, as long as someone wants to check them, they will be attacked by the guerrillas, so that in the end all the people are buying illegal salt, this is an ocean of white flowers, who has earned so much money?" I wonder if there is any news from General Sun? Do you think the Imperial Army will swallow this breath? ”

Sun Dianying smiled and said, "If you want to fight, you can fight, what are you talking about?" Isn't it just going to be swept away? Who else in North China doesn't know this news? Aren't you preparing for the hunt for strong men everywhere and repairing bunkers? Come on, we're not afraid of you, and it's not like we haven't fought! ”

Sun Dianying was born recklessly, and defected many times, and finally was forced to have no way out, so he had to use treasures to take Dai Li's way, and then he hooked up with Jiang Intermediary and was incorporated as a military commander, although in front of Jiang Agent, he cried and shouted that Jiang Intermediary was his reborn parents, but he was not really grateful to Jiang Agent, this was just another betrayal of his body for glory. But Sun Dianying did fight a few battles with the Japanese army in North China, and therefore received the attention of the Japanese army, which led to Shishita's visit.

"Hehe, we're not here to attack the general, we're here to attack the Eighth Route Army, after the Eighth Route Army comes, the general isn't having a good time, right?" Shixia smiled at Sun Dianying and said.

Sun Dianying touched his beard, where is this unpleasant, it is simply painful, since the Eighth Route Army came, not only seized his original guerrilla area, but also let those people no longer pay taxes to themselves, but they are people who protect them with guns, these Diao people, they don't know what to do at all!

"The empire hopes to negotiate peace with Mr. Jiang Intermediary, you may not know that Mr. Jiang is actually already negotiating peace with us, Chairman Wang has communicated with Mr. Jiang Intermediary, and came to the front station, so cooperating with us is not against the meaning of Chongqing, think about it, if it is not for the acquiescence of Mr. Jiang Intermediary, can Chairman Wang leave Chongqing?" Shishita whispered, in fact, it was just a reason for Sun Dianying to seem to be in the past.

"But this reputation that can't be saved by death is not good, we Chinese rely on a reputation to get by." Sun Dianying continued to wait for the price and said.

"A thousand rifles, as a gift from us, in addition, as long as you can find the private salt, the empire will give it to you, you have to sell it and eat, whatever you want, and we will not check your private salt and other things, we will not check it, how about it?"

When Sun Dianying heard this, his eyes were red, no one can tell how much wealth this private salt has been exchanged for in North China, but it is certain that there must be a large amount of private salt hidden in North China now, and how much he finds is how much, where is this salt, this is all money!

Sun Dianying slapped it on the table and said, "Okay! That's it, I'll make you a friend! ”

- Beiping

In the imperial palace in Beiping, Shigeo Takeshita walked slowly, admiring the crystallization of Chinese art for hundreds of years, looking at those carved dragons and phoenixes, Shigeo Takeshita's eyes couldn't help but slowly blur.

"How? Takeshita-kun, this is the place where Chinese emperors lived for hundreds of years, in the past. We Japanese are here and it's a sin to even raise our heads, and now we're the masters here. King Minoru of Higashikure Palace came over and said to Shigeo Takeshita.

Shigeo Takeshita tilted his head, looked over, and saw that it was King Minoru of Higashikure Palace, so he immediately said to King Minoru of Higashikure Palace, "Your Excellency Commander, I'm sorry I didn't notice you, I am indeed immersed in my world." Don't you know what's going on with Your Excellency Commander? ”

King Minoruhiko of Higashikure Palace picked up a stone and threw it at a tree, and several leaves of the tree were knocked off, and immediately several birds flew up in fright.

"See? This is the battle of Nomenkhan, which has just broken out, most people only saw the fallen leaves, but they did not expect that there would be frightened birds, and a big war between us and the Soviet Union was inevitable. Therefore, we must stabilize North China, and once there is a problem in North China, the Kwantung Army will be in a critical situation at that time. That would shake the very foundations of the empire. After speaking, King Minoru Higashikurenomiya asked, "Do you know where the biggest source of unrest in North China is?" ”

Shigeo Takeshita squinted his eyes and said, "Eighth Route Army! Liu Bocheng! ”

King Minoru of the East Kure Palace nodded and said, "That's right, it's the Eighth Route Army of the Red Party, they defeated the Third Army, recaptured Shanxi, and recruited troops in Shanxi, Shanxi's terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack." We don't have the energy to attack Shanxi again, but we definitely don't want them to fight back to North China, Shanxi is our bottom line! As long as they go out of Shanxi, we will wipe them all out, and now Liu Bocheng's Taihang Mountain troops are not only attacking everywhere, but also carrying out guerrilla warfare on the plains, as well as railway guerrilla warfare, and the railway from Hebei to Beiping will be broken at least two days a week, and these guerrillas are like loaches, which are difficult to catch, and these people will eat up North China sooner or later, so they must be completely eliminated. “

After speaking, King Minoru of Higashikure Palace looked at Shigeo Takeshita, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "I heard that you have done a good job on Okamura Ninji's side, so I hope you can also make meritorious contributions in North China." ”

Shigeo Takeshita lowered his head and said, "Please command." ”

King Minoru of the East Kure Palace pointed to the north and said, "Find Liu Bocheng and catch him!" Kill him! Destroy the brains of the Eighth Route Army in Taihang Mountain! Lay the foundation for the complete victory of the Empire in North China! I order you to form a special attack team, anyone in the North China Front can be picked up by you, all I need is Liu Bocheng's head. ”

Shigeo Takeshita took a hard breath and said, "Take the head of the generals in the army, the taste of art, Your Excellency, please rest assured, I only need a hundred people, no more, no less, I will definitely complete this work of art." ”

King Minoru Higashikure nodded and said, "I believe in you, go for it, you will become a hero of the empire." ”

- Manchuria

Takeda Takeo walked to Tada's room, Tada was reading a book, and saw Takeda Takeo smile and said, "How is it?" That Masanobu Tsuji has a very high reputation in the Kwantung Army, and he still treats your teacher as an idol and wants to make some achievements. ”

Takeda shook his head and said, "Compared to his teacher, he is not even as good as a firefly, and I thought he was a genius staff officer at first, but I was disappointed." ”

Tada Jun asked with some interest, "Why did you disappoint?" ”

Takeda said, "He has been talking about how important the spirit of bushido is, and constantly emphasizing that talent comes first, and I agree with that, but war is not about who is brave, only that the brave is just a reckless man, and I think he has been disguising himself." ”

Tada Jun said incomprehensibly, "Let's hear it." ”

Takeda Yixiong really felt a little bit about the staff class during this period of time, he said, "During a march, we ran out of water, and there was no water source on the road, everyone was insisting, he suddenly asked us to gather, and then poured out all his own water, saying that we wanted to share weal and woe!" Isn't this acting? If I were him, I would let everyone drink this pot of water, and that's the way to unite everyone. ”

Tada Jun nodded and said, "Well, that's true, it's normal, he's different from your teacher and you, he's not a genius, he's just extremely diligent, but diligence doesn't apply everywhere, how did you discuss this time?" Is there any consensus on the Soviet issue? ”

Takeda sighed, "It's all the sound of shouting for attack, but no one has asked how to end the war, which is not right, and it is more important to end the war than to start a war." ”

Tada Jun looked at Takeda Yixiong and said with a sigh, "You are a calm child, but unfortunately, there are fewer and fewer calm people in our army, by the way, this is news from North China, they are going to war again, you see." ”

Takeda Yoshio's accumulated contacts in the Third Army played a role here, and he constantly asked the former commander of the Third Army to write about the current situation of the war situation for him from time to time under the pretext of wanting to know about the war situation in North China so that he could be ready to go back to fight at any time, and he used this channel to collect information, which was also sent to Yan'an with telegrams.

- Taihang Mountain

Liu Bocheng and Deng Xianxian walked on the road together.

"You say, Lin Sanhu and Mr. He, aren't they particularly jealous when they know that we are going to fight?" Liu Bocheng joked with a smile.

"Mr. He is okay, the Military Commission has decided, this Suiyuan main attack is from him, Lin Sanhu can be aggrieved, Henan and Shandong are mainly developing, and they are also fighting guerrilla warfare and sports warfare, although the good news is frequent, but if you want to fight a big war, I am afraid it will take a long time."

The two talked and laughed, and then came to the conference room, which was originally a temple that had been transformed into the headquarters of the 129th Division.

"Division Commander" "Political Commissar"

When everyone saw the two, they immediately shouted, and the two kept shaking hands with the various commanders before they sat down on the rostrum.

"How long has it been since we've sat together? Three months or four months? Liu Bocheng asked first.

"One hundred and twenty-nine days, I count." Deng Xianxian replied.

"Oh, it's been so long, I'll tell you about our current situation and let everyone have a bottom." Liu Bocheng raised his glasses and said, "I am in the Taihang Mountain Military Region, and now we have our 129th Division and the 61st Army that has been reinforced.

Our two divisions have a total of 41 regiments and 479 guerrilla brigades in the Taihang Mountains, totaling 196,000 men, of which 70,000 are persisting in guerrilla warfare in the plains, and we are about to face a sweeping force of about 300,000 people, and there may be more. Liu Bocheng said and looked down, but found that no one was afraid, but everyone looked eager to try.

Deng Xianxian smiled and said, "Very good, everyone's spirit is very full, this is confident, with spirit, you can win the battle!" ”

Liu Bocheng nodded and said, "We have received news that the Japanese army will first cut off the connection between our army and the guerrillas in the plains, so that they can be broken individually, but we ignore them, we will fight our own, and our initial plan is to concentrate our forces and eliminate all the way."

At this time, at the foot of Taihang Mountain, a unit wearing the shabby military uniform of the Eighth Route Army was marching, these people were not smiling, and they were holding all Japanese-style weapons in their hands, but this was also common in the Eighth Route Army, but the troops with such a high proportion of firearms were probably only a few main regiments that could do it.

"Captain, there is a mountain area ahead, it is said that there will be sentinels, we have to be careful if we want to read the password and the ID." A soldier said in fluent Chinese.

The person who was called the captain was none other than Shigeo Takeshita, who touched his chin and thought about it and said, "We are still a few days away from encirclement and suppression, so let's go into the mountains without hurry, go, go back and ambush a guerrilla team, find a way to get these things, and in addition, send a team to see if there is a safe path, this Dabie Mountain is so big, it is impossible for all roads to be seen to death by the Eighth Route Army." ”

As he spoke, the unit turned around and headed for a township.

——On Taihang Mountain

After the meeting, as soon as Liu Bocheng and Deng Xixian came out, they saw Zhou Weiguo and Zhenbai Siwen, and the two immediately saluted, "Master Liu, good political commissar Deng." ”

Liu Bochengqi said, "Captain Zhou, is it really white?" Why are you two here? ”

Zhou Weiguo said: "The chairman got the news that there is a particularly elite squad in North China, so let us bring the two troops to prepare to eliminate them." ”

Liu Bocheng smiled and said, "203 really let you come out, okay, there will be a big battle soon, the unit you said may really appear, and I will notify you immediately when there is news." ”

Zhenbai Sven pulled Zhou Weiguo and said, "Okay, go back quickly, I'm so sleepy." ”

Deng Xixian shook his hand and said, "Go and rest, you've worked hard all the way." (To be continued.) )
