304 Break 1
However, in the midst of so much bad news, Zhao Yun finally heard a piece of good news. In the early battle, the Shibata Wing showed as much bravery as ever. This "heroic" suffered an "unprecedented" blow in the face of the already heavily armed Feng army, and suffered heavy casualties.
Kusuno's squadron, Muto's squadron, and Seida's squadron were all squadrons with nearly half of the casualties, so they were sent to defend the danger, and the only Sakai squadron under the command of the Kimura brigade that did not suffer major losses was pulled to the front line by Shibata. As long as they broke through the defense zone of these three squadrons, behind them was the brigade headquarters of the Kimura Brigade, and the brigade headquarters of Kimura was also responsible for the vigilance of the entire Shibata Wing Field Hospital. There are still two or three hundred in the field hospital, all of which are wounded by the Japanese soldiers who were wounded in the battle of attacking the mountains during the day today.
After comparing on the map, Zhao Yun found that as long as he broke through the defense area of the three squadrons in front of him, he would penetrate into the interior of the Japanese defense line, and the Japanese army would not be able to stop the charge of the camp warriors at all.
"The time, the place, the people!" Zhao Yun was speechless, "The devil occupies the geographical advantage, and Lao Tzu occupies the time, where can this person go to find it?" Pacing, Zhao Yun walked out of the military tent.
In the night, the heavy rain was still so pouring, and as the dark thunderclouds in the sky gathered more and more, there was a loud "snort", and the thunderclouds rolled and cracked a thick spatial crack. In an instant, the lightning was loud, and the crackling sound in the thunderclouds was loud, and the purple, silver, and golden electric light flashed wildly in the clouds, and after half a sound, the rumbling thunder still echoed in the sky.
Zhao Yun's pupils shrank suddenly, "Lightning? Is this a hint that I want a quick fix? He frowned, "It's a fight, there will be no such shop in this village after that!" ”
Suddenly, Zhao Yun looked in the direction of Li Jiatun in a daze, as if he had thought of something.
Waving, the Japanese soldier Kato walked over respectfully, and Zhao Yun opened his mouth and asked, "Kato-kun, why did you come to Huaxia to fight?" Some questions, especially the propaganda within Japan, Zhao Yun has not been very clear, so Zhao Yun suddenly remembered that there was a "witness" around him, so he asked some doubts.
"My lord, the warlords in China are divided, and our great Japan has decided to support the northern warlord Zhang Huzi to maintain the rights and interests of the Manchurian and Mongolian regions. But alas, he was defeated, and it caused anger in China, and the war burned to Luda and Qingdao. Therefore, in order to stop the chaotic war against the warlords in China and protect the interests of the Japanese residents in China, the cabinet applied for the dispatch of troops. Kato took two steps forward and bowed slightly.
"So, if you send troops, do you want to blame us for the civil war?" A hint of surprise flashed in Zhao Yun's eyes, and then his gaze swept over Kato next to him.
Japan's domestic propaganda has always been about helping China, but as everyone knows, this kind of help is aggression against China.
"I, Japan, dominate East Asia, and it is right to help China quell the civil war!" Kato said respectfully.
"You ......." Zhao Yun was speechless, this is indeed no wonder Kato, he has been educated since he was a child, but even if he knows that Kato said this because of the Japanese-centered ideology that was brainwashed and instilled by Japan, Zhao Yun immediately had an urge to let this thing go to the death squad.
Taking a deep breath and forcibly suppressing the thoughts in his heart, Zhao Yun's face was slightly gloomy, and he asked in a deep voice, "What is the benefit of interfering in Huaxia to Japan?" Can you afford to do such a thankless thing? ”
"My lord, only by integrating the whole of East Asia can we fight with the United States!" When Zhao Yun heard this, his face changed.
In 1915, when World War I was in full swing, Japan forced China to sign the "Twenty-One Articles" in order to expand its rights and interests in China. China took this as a national shame and promoted nationalism, and the movement to demand the restoration of sovereignty and boycott Japan grew stronger. This was the inducement, and more importantly, Zhao Yun waved his troops to recover Qingdao and Luda, which put pressure on the pro-Japanese forces in Manchu and Mongolia and compressed Japan's interests in China.
At the same time, the success of the Russian Revolution and the indecisiveness of the war in the Far East had an impact on Japan. In order to prepare for war with the "imaginary enemy" Soviet Russia, Japan must also take control of the Far East as soon as possible. As for the hostility with China, Zhao Yun controlled the export of grain and strategic resources to Japan, and it became more difficult for Japan to obtain iron, coal and other resources in preparation for a national war. At the same time, the influence of Soviet Russian ideas on Japanese politics and society was also expanding.
Originally, at this time, Japan would have pulled in Europe and the United States to make up for its shortcomings in resources and thinking. But after World War I, Europe and the United States have begun to guard against this ambitious "alliance".
In the United States, President Wilson's proposal established the "League of Nations," and in East Asia, a new international order (the Washington system) was gradually established. In particular, in the Nine-Power Treaty, the countries agreed to respect China's sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity, which was tantamount to restricting Japan's development in disguise.
Against this background, Japan eventually "had to face three external pressures": the first was that "Japan was constrained by the Washington system formulated by the old imperialist countries such as Britain and the United States"; second, the rise of Chinese nationalism; The third is the impact of Sovietism on Japan, especially after the abolition of the emperor in Soviet Russia and China, Japan, which is still practicing the imperial system, is very frightened. After all, the first two columns are placed there, the emperor of China has become a deposed emperor, the emperor of Russia has been slaughtered, and a new emperor has not yet been introduced.
As a result, the Americans, the "bellwethers" who obstructed Japan's development and wanted to dig into the corners of the "imperial" system, suffered. In Japan's 1923 Imperial Defense Policy, the United States eventually became the largest imaginary enemy of the Japanese Navy and Army. However, the Japanese also made the right choice, because the following year, the United States also passed the anti-Japanese immigration bill. Of course, this is also Japan's reaction to the fact that it considers itself a strong country in East Asia and dares to argue with the United States. Compared with the Chinese Exclusion Act that has been implemented for many years, and Huaxia has not listed the United States as the biggest imaginary enemy, Zhao Yun still admires the courage of the Japanese somewhat.
However, this Kato is a little strange, and this kind of national strategy is not something that a soldier at the bottom of the army can understand.
"How do you know that?" Zhao Yun just groaned slightly, and then asked decisively. No matter what background Kato has and what secrets he has, now that he is the "own person" of the camp, he naturally knows everything about Zhao Yun's questions, and he has endless words.
"Our family is a samurai descendant who fought with my grandfather and the same head of the family, and is currently a martial arts instructor in the army." Kato said with a glance.
"The descendants of the samurai can also serve in the army of the new government?" Zhao Yun, who knew that the concept of domestic portals in Japan was relatively heavy, asked suspiciously.
"He betrayed his head of the family and joined the new government. However, I had a better relationship with my grandfather in private, and it was thanks to his care that my family was able to obtain the land, otherwise our family's situation would be even worse than it is now. Many of the descendants of the samurai lived at the bottom of the country and were unable to obtain land. Kato said slowly with a strange look on his face. For samurai, betrayal is an unforgivable thing, and even now the Kato family cannot forgive this person's betrayal. If it weren't for the existence of these traitors, the Kato family would still be a noble samurai family that has been passed down from generation to generation, so why bother to become poor peasants guarding a few acres of thin fields.
Well, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, Zhao Yun gave up on this question and continued to ask, his mind turned sharply, and then asked, "Then can you compare your military flags?" ”
In later generations, many people knew that the Japanese military flag was very important to their army, the so-called flag is in the army, the military flag will disappear without the troops, and each unit must live and die with the military flag. But the problem is that when the Japanese army was defeated, all units burned the military flags, so the Japanese army did not hand over the military flags of any unit after the defeat, and most Chinese people in later generations did not know what the Japanese military flag looked like.
This time, Zhao Yun continued to go out, and in the face of the six Japanese wings, he would definitely encounter the military flag. What if, if it can be captured? So let's ask first, what does this thing look like, if you miss it, it's too late to regret it.
"The military flag of our army is exactly the same as the Fengjie held by the ancient Chinese diplomatic envoys, and it is a long string of festivals."
"Section?" Zhao Yun was surprised. He said silently in his heart, "It's okay, it's okay!" Fortunately, Zhao Yun faintly heard Wang Huaiqing say that the Japanese army's military flag was very strange, and he felt that the Japanese army's military flag was not necessarily a flag, so he asked more.
This rescue battle must be fought, but how to fight, how to deal with the aftermath in the back, and how to maximize the benefits of the battle, this is the reason why Zhao Yun asked the east and the west.
After chatting with Kato for a while, Zhao Yun waved his hand to let him withdraw from the military tent, and ordered Shao Lao Er to bring the recent military information in the Far East.
Now Shao Lao Er is already Zhao Yun's first housekeeper, and he will follow him wherever he goes. Zhao Yun personally rushed to the northeast, and Shao Lao Er also came to the front line with a guard team of 400 people.
The war in the Far East was beyond everyone's expectations, and everyone was not optimistic about it, and the polar bear that came out of the mountains thought that it was possible for the red woolly bear to slap the Japanese, but it was a bit reluctant to say that the Japanese were slapped down. After all, the Japanese had already reached 130,000 troops in the Far East, twice as many as them, not to mention that the White Guards and the Goryeo Army also had a numerical advantage of 300,000.
But the Russians were blind again, and everyone's titanium alloy "dog eyes". Zhao Yun was able to plant "nails" within the White Guards, so why couldn't Soviet Russia?
Zhiluopa, who was also known as the "Four King Kongs" in the White Guards, was the "dark chess" of Soviet Russia. By the time the "own people" in Soviet Russia came to their senses and asked "their own people" Miller and others to take precautions, more than a quarter of the White Guards had been defeated by the Soviet Russian army.
A large amount of military supplies fell into the hands of the backward Soviet Russians, and the first line of defense of the Japanese army, which was originally intended to block the Soviet Russian army, was lost under the release of Miller and others. The second line of defense is arranged in the area of Bikin, which is still the first echelon with the White Guards as the first echelon, the Goryeo Army plus a small number of Japanese troops as the second echelon, and the third echelon is the real main force of the Japanese army. From this arrangement, it is not difficult to see the intention of the Japanese to use the White Guards to deplete the strength of the Soviet Russians. But Zhilopa's sudden "backlash" made the Japanese no longer believe in Pyotr Nikolayevich Wrangel's control of the White Guards.
