Gunshots at Lugou Bridge (2)

The Xi'an Incident formed the Chinese government with Chiang Kai-shek as the core, but there was also a time of invasion that shocked China and the rest of the world, and the Japanese adopted the method of undeclared war to retake the three eastern provinces, established the puppet Manchukuo with Pu Yi as a puppet, and tens of millions of Chinese people in the three northeastern provinces became vassals of the Japanese. lived a life that was worse than death.

After the central government went through the first Northeast War and the war to encircle and suppress the Red Party, the Nationalist Government could no longer conduct war, so at the suggestion of Liu Yuan and Chen Cheng, the Nationalist Government carried out the first five-year plan, adopting five years of production and five years of education, hoping to store national strength as much as possible before the war, but fortunately, the Japanese were also unprepared for the war, and in the first Northeast War, the Japanese had consumed a large number of elite troops.

Ito looked at the young officer in front of him with great appreciation, the young man named Yamamichikawa in front of him was from the base camp, he used to work under Terauchi Shousui, and later transferred to work in the Tohoku secret service in Tsuchihara, after Tsuchihara was appointed as the commander of the newly built first division, he was transferred inland to carry out new spy work.

The base camp asked them to collect intelligence on the Southwest Special Administrative Region, and this young man's performance was very outstanding in this overzeal, as a student team in Nanjing, he studied at the Southwest Government University and collected intelligence, for which the base camp spent a huge amount of money to obtain a household registration book and ID card for him.

"When I was in the Tohoku, Nagataka Tsuchihara talked to Seishiro Itagaki in charge, and they agreed with the Ministry of Intelligence that we must start a war with Shina as soon as possible and seize the area within the Yellow River." Shan Daochuan analyzed, "Since the twin stars Liu Yuan entered the Central Committee, Nanjing has undergone tremendous changes, he put forward the so-called five-year plan, with the southwest as a sample, rapidly driving the economic development of the Nanjing government, at the same time, the industrial production of the provinces under the control of the Nanjing government, especially the military industry, has made rapid progress, and at the same time, Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling put forward the new economic life movement, but also actively adopted to encourage production, support small industrialists, and led to the rapid development of the private economy. At present, most of China under the control of the central government has stabilized, and if the empire does not adopt a new strategy, then China will be truly unified, and it will be very difficult for the empire to conquer them with excellent generals and productive forces. ”

"I guess this is the strategy of His Excellency Shouichi Terauchi." Ito said excitedly, not enough to calm down immediately, "During the first Northeast War, General Shina led a group of remnants of the defeated generals to consume so much strength of the empire, especially the loss of elite troops, and it has not fully recovered until now, is it really a good choice for us to start a war at this time?" ”

"The branch is too huge, and it is impossible to think of a one-time government, so His Excellency Ishihara Wan'er also began to admit his mistakes in the army, and instead supported our slow progress faction, I think this way we can definitely slowly govern China, I have a hunch that the North China garrison will not continue to keep a low profile, and the war has reached the point where it is imminent."

Yamamichikawa's smile was very evil, unlike Ito's eyes full of worry.

"Young people always have endless blood in their hearts." Ito said with a smile.

"We have to be careful, the intelligence officers of the Southwest Special Administrative Region are very strong, we have lost more than a dozen groups of staff, we have to figure out their strength and deployment." Yamamichikawa whispered.

Yamamichikawa did not live on campus, and Twenty rented a small two-story building owned by a Chinese, and the owner of the building was a middle-aged noblewoman, who seemed to value Yamamichikawa's young body and rented the house to Yamamichikawa at a very cheap price. There are a lot of sons who went to college in the southwest these years, so Yamadokawa stayed in China for so long and didn't attract the attention of people nearby.

But in another apartment far away, a telescope carefully swept the two-story building of the mountain road, and the rickshaw driver was playing on the side, but the occasional glint in his eyes was not at all what ordinary rickshaw drivers could have.

"How long has Ito been in." Zhao Yong asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs agent beside him.

"Two hours, fifty-five minutes." A young agent, with a monitor in his hand, looked at Zhao Yong cautiously.

"Do you want to arrest them, the Japanese have been rampant lately." Another agent has a map in his hand and is planning the best route for his arrest.

"No, our golden crow is there with them, keep an eye on it for the time being, why are you running back to China for no reason? How difficult it is to organize and cultivate them. Zhao Yong scolded twice. "Director, they have collected a lot of information about us recently, and if they don't defeat it, the Japanese will definitely know a lot about us." The listener said depressedly.

"You stupid boy, if you want to get more things, you have to be willing to give things to others, and don't let Jin Wu make meritorious deeds, how to let him climb higher. If the Japanese could not get any information, they would not have turned against the sky. "Zhao Yong is still very disgusted with boring intelligence figures.

In his mind, an elite like him is to be on the battlefield, but Li Zhilong is a big hooligan, and he will not be allowed to quit when he enters the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which is really hateful.

"You're right, but I still don't want to go, you have to know that I have already notified four or five groups of dark piles, and the ghost knows how their noses are so smart, and they are ready to assassinate them several times, if it weren't for me, they would have gone to heaven a long time ago." The listener said with a smug expression.

"Hmph, what is the purpose of the chairman's training of you, you must know that you are all studying information science and telegraph electronics, since you are doing this kind of underground work, you must give full play to your ability to surpass battlefield feats."

In order to make the Japanese jealous and not dare to start a war easily, Chiang Kai-shek ordered a military exercise with the Central Army as the core, including the Southwest Special Administrative Region, the Jin Army, the Eighteenth Group Army, and the Northeast Army.

The venue of the exercise was set in Nanyang City.

Although Liu Yuan believed that this move would not make the Japanese give up the attack, Liu Yuan believed that an appropriate display of muscles could enhance the confidence of the people, otherwise Wang Jingwei and others would have to negotiate with the Japanese again.

Xue Yue, Fu Zuoyi, Yu Jishi, Hu Zongnan, Chen Geng, Su Yu, and Peng Dehuai all participated in the exercise.

However, this time there were not as many troops participating in the exercise as expected, and only about 50,000 troops were mobilized from various places, with Xue Yue as the red side and Peng Dehuai as the blue side.

At the same time, Peng Dehuai called Liu Yuan several times to thank Liu Yuan for giving him the opportunity to study.

Peng Dehuai knew very well that many of these new military techniques were also used by the Japanese, and since the Red Party said that it would resist Japan, it would have to face the Japanese one day, so if he had this opportunity to study here today, he was sure that Liu Yuan must have paid a great price.

In this exercise, the officers and men of the Southwest Special Administrative Region and the Central Lushan Teaching Regiment, the First Infantry Brigade of the Central Army Military Academy, and the Third Regiment of the Chinese Military Police performed the most outstanding performances.

In particular, the infantry of the Southwest Special Administrative Region has been integrated with the air force and artillery to show the world what it means to combine air and ground.

The exercise was conducted in a mountainous area on the outskirts of Nanyang City with a depth of more than 50 kilometers, and of course there were also plains with a small area and a piece of sloping land. Guaranteed to show as much terrain as possible in a confined area.

After the exercise began, Xue Yue launched a frantic attack on the narrow plain area in the exercise area as a breakthrough area, inflicting extremely heavy losses on the troops commanded by Peng Dehuai.

Just when everyone was sighing for Xue Yue's battlefield command ability, Xue Yue unexpectedly stood out and attacked the mountains far away from the plain with a brigade of sharp soldiers. The artillery unit directly under the brigade carried out a covering attack on the mountain pass for 15 minutes, and the highest frequency reached the time point of 20 shells falling in one minute, and the powerful artillery strength made Chiang Kai-shek and others have to admire.

Before the artillery bombardment ended, the Elite Brigade followed the barrage and launched an attack, and rushed to Peng Dehuai's position in one assault.

Everyone felt that the commander of the Red Party was indeed too bad, and there was really no problem for the Red Party to play with millet plus rifles, but when it came to modern operations, regular operations were indeed far behind, and even a few juniors in the third and fourth periods had already begun to bet.

However, just when everyone thought that the victory was decided, Peng Dehuai's artillery hidden on the top of the mountain began to fire back, forming a long blockade line of artillery fire in front of the top brigade, making it difficult for Xue Yue's troops to move forward.

And just when everyone thought that there would be a fierce battle at the top of the mountain, Peng Dehuai asked the troops to quickly descend the mountain, and Xue Yue had to take time to occupy the top of the mountain.

Xue Yue, who got to the top of the mountain, didn't let anyone do it, and transferred a dozen tanks as well, using the tanks as a cover, and quickly interspersed Peng Shuai's flanks.

Many of the participating troops had never seen such a thing at all, especially when the tank made a rumbling sound, and some officers and soldiers of the Jin army knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

However, just when everyone thought that Xue Yue had the chance to win, Peng Shuai organized a small army and quietly detoured to Xue Yue's rear and knocked out Xue Yue's key points.

And just when Xue Yue commanded the troops to encircle and suppress this small force in the rear, another surprise army attacked his artillery position.

At this time, Xue Yue realized that he had made a mistake, the team was too scattered, giving the enemy a chance to break them one by one.

Just as Xue Yue was about to gather his troops, Peng Dehuai's troops quietly concentrated, concentrating three times the number of troops, and carried out a devastating attack on Xue Yue's headquarters.

The most thrilling exercise was the most thrilling, the Red Party's troops carried out a frantic fight, first a few elite soldiers frantically broke through the position of Xue Yue's headquarters, just after Xue Yue mobilized firepower to eliminate these sharp soldiers.

All the firepower of the Red Party covered their own firing points, and then there was a frantic wave attack, until Xue Yue was captured and the exercise ended.

"There are a lot of problems with the leakage of this exercise." Yang Yongtai said in Liu Yuan's ear.

"What fucking bullshit, Jin Jun actually knelt on the ground and kowtowed just now." Du Yuming said angrily.

Chiang Kai-shek was in a good mood, "At the beginning, Fu Guoshu wanted to engage in chariots, I didn't understand very much, but today I saw this guy really very powerful, Niang Xipi, if the Japanese have hundreds of vehicles by then, they won't scare our soldiers to death." ”

"Auxiliary country, how about the production of combat vehicles in the Southwestern Special Zone?" Chiang Kai-shek asked, but at this time, Chiang Kai-shek found that Liu Yuan's eyes were wandering, and his mind didn't seem to be on this, in fact, Liu Yuan had been worried about Wancheng, how could his mind be on them.

On July 15, before dawn, Song Zheyuan personally climbed to the top of Wanping City, looking at the tall corn stalks, with a heavy heart.

In the cornfield outside the city, the sun flag fluttered densely, rows of soldiers of the North China Garrison Army were hidden in it, and the commander of the first wing of the North China Garrison Army, Sasaki, was trembling with a command knife in his hand, and history would be created by him today.

He will lead his troops to occupy Beijing, occupy Tianjin, occupy the whole of North China, and the empire will definitely remember him when the time comes.

"Sassi gives."
