Chapter 383: Ishihara Wan'er's Greatness
The Japanese army was accustomed to being subordinate to the top, and even more accustomed to acting without regard for the orders of their superiors. Ishihara and Seishiro Sakagaki are experts in this. They worked together on a play called "Nine. 18", and now they have worked together to carry out another incident that shook the world: they reported to the Japanese War Department that the front-line reconnaissance personnel had discovered the whereabouts of the commander-in-chief of the Soviet army, Timoshenko, and planned to launch an operation to defeat the Soviet army in front of them in one fell swoop. And one of the key points of this operation is to use the airborne troops, taking advantage of the time when Timoshenko's army leaves Irkutsk, to seize this important frontline town that has been run by the Soviets for a long time, and then use aircraft to transport troops to the front and rear of the Soviet army without stopping. And even if the action is unfavorable, the Soviets can return in time, as long as the airfield is still there, their troops can still evacuate in time with the help of air power, and there will be no big losses.
Tokyo's Shunroku Hata and Hideki Tojo were overjoyed to learn of the news, although both of them disliked Ishihara and did not want this person to make meritorious contributions, but if they could defeat Timoshenko, it would be very beneficial to Japan's current war situation. So, before reporting the news to the Cabinet, they first sent paratroopers from a brigade that had just been trained for a short time to Ulan-Ude.
After that, things got out of their control.
On July 13, 1940, a week after Hitler signed an order for Air Force Commander Goering to begin the "Sea Lion Plan" to bomb the British Isles, the Japanese paratrooper brigade, which had just rested in Ulan-Ude for a day, was airdropped to Krisnoyarsk. Under the stunned gaze of the locals, the city was easily captured. They then released the prisoners who were imprisoned in the local camps "Kraslag" and "Yeniselag" and gave them a certain amount of weapons...... After that, the riots began. Countless prisoners overthrew the local government departments and formed a huge turbulence that spread around.
When Timoshenko in Irkutsk and Stalin in Moscow got the news. A whole day has passed since the precious time. It is not known whether it was because the Bolsheviks had raised butcher's knives to religious people, so that God was unwilling to bless them. Stalin and Moscow thought that there was a riot in the labor camp, but they did not know that it was because the Japanese paratroopers had attacked. So, in the roar of Stalin's repressive order, big troubles followed.
By airlift, Ishihara and Seishiro Sakagaki transported a main division directly over, completely mastered Krasnoyarsk, and then, through paratroopers, attacked Novosibirsk.
Then. The war cannot be stopped.
Nearly 2,000 planes of various types of the Kwantung Army shuttled through the skies from Novosibirsk to Irkutsk and then to Ulan-Ude. Bombers and fighters raged in the skies over Army Group Timoshenko, and carrier-based fighters of the Zero even flew to Omsk and Yekaterinburg.
But that's not all. What made the Soviet government most nervous was the rapid formation of an army of prisoners in Krasnoyarsk with the help of the Japanese, which did not stay still. He was not used as cannon fodder by the Japanese, but got into a carriage. Or simply intercept the train. Follow the Trans-Siberian Railway and go straight to those rural towns...... In just a few days, the entire Krasnorsk district has been shaken by the impact of these labor prisoners.
And in such an atmosphere, in the face of the furious and nervous Soviet Union, the Japanese government was excited and frightened. On the one hand, Umezu Mijiro and Ueda Kenkichi, who were resting in Vladivostok and Komsomolsk, were sent to support Ishihara Waner and Sakagaki Seishiro, and on the other hand, troops were transferred from the mainland and China to support Vladivostok and Komsomolsk. At the same time, a large amount of supplies. In particular, planes and bombs were transported from Japan and China to Ulan-Ude.
……
"Ishihara Wan'er, this king will definitely be our worst enemy in the future."
While the news from the north shook the entire world, it also shocked Qin Wei greatly...... He had thought that nothing would surprise him in this world, but now Ishihara had done just that.
"This guy will definitely use this group of labor prisoners to attack the Soviet government and Stalin, first disturb Timoshenko's rear, and then disrupt the whole of Eastern Siberia, and then, taking advantage of the suppression of Stalin and Timoshenko's troops, he will fly to Yekaterinburg with a 'whoosh' and wrap dumplings for the Soviet troops remaining in Siberia."
The location was at the Huangshan Villa, and as soon as Qin Wei exchanged views with Eisenhower on the actions of Ishihara Waner and Sakagaki Seishiro in the Lianqing Building, he was pulled to the Yunxiu Building by Zhang Zhizhong, who was passing by. When he arrived, he found that there were already many people gathered here, among whom he knew Kong Xiangxi, He Yingqin, Song Ziwen, Chen Bui, Chen Guofu, Chen Lifu, Bai Zhengxi, and Chen Cheng. Obviously, this is a high-end large party, and he is the one who only knows the Tao of the future. However, although he was a little surprised and puzzled, he didn't show too much surprise, and followed Zhang Zhizhong to find a seat and sit down. Seeing that everyone was waiting for Chiang Kai-shek, they were whispering to the people nearby, and they were also pulling Bai Zhenxi and Chen Lifu on the side to talk nonsense.
"Ishihara's hand was indeed unexpected. But didn't you teach it all? "Bai Zhenxi is most dissatisfied with Qin Wei, this guy has helped Lao Jiang too much. Lao Jiang is getting stronger and stronger now, and he is becoming more and more difficult to serve. If this continues, won't their Gui family have no future?
"That's it," Chen Lifu also echoed, "Look at people, kung fu is used on the enemy." You use it on your own head. And the killers sent before, killing and killing, and I didn't necessarily kill a few decent Japanese......"
"You're provoking me?" Qin Wei glared at this guy, "Do you still think I made a mistake for killing the traitor?" ”
"I didn't provoke you, and I didn't think you were at fault, I just hope that if you have the opportunity, it's best to kill a few more Japanese generals." Chen Lifu said with a smile.
"yes, it's like killing Sugiyama Gen last time." Bai Zhenxi also added to the side, "These guys are the backbone of Japan's invasion, and the more they die, the more beneficial it is for our great cause of the War of Resistance against Japan, and the more conducive it is for us to drive them back to their hometown as soon as possible." ”
"That's a good point." Qin Wei clapped his hands lightly, and then changed his voice: "Then do you know that most of the people like Sugiyama Yuan are fools and dumbfounded?" Although it was because of them that led to Japan's invasion of China, it was they who gave us hope of winning. If you really want to replace them all with the roles of Ishihara Waner and Okamura Ningji, do you think we can still stay in Chongqing like this now to discuss whether we killed them? ”
"According to you, those guys are still helping us when they are in power?" Bai Zhengxi airway. No matter how Qin Wei listened, it was a kind of irony...... Even a group of fools can't beat them, what are they, the commanders of the National Revolutionary Army? And thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a burst of resentment towards Lao Jiang, who had not yet come forward. If it weren't for the so-called national leaders whose military minds were still stuck in the Northern Expedition era and who could have been a battalion commander, they might still be staying in Nanjing now, and how could they have fallen to Chongqing? Why should he be ridiculed like this by Qin Wei?
"It's not to help us, it should be regarded as hindering their own people from finding a more correct strategic path." Qin Wei smiled, "Anyway, it's still the same sentence: if you are not afraid of a god-like opponent, you are afraid of a pig-like teammate!" ”
"Yes, I agree with that." Bai Zhenxi nodded again and again, "The 'pig'-like teammates are really the deepest pitfalls." ”
"Cough, cough ......" Chen Lifu's face turned slightly pale, and with his intelligence, he could naturally hear the two goods in front of him, especially who Bai Zhengxi was scolding for being a pig, but he couldn't catch the evidence, so he could only cough several times in a row, "Well, let's talk about something else first...... Qin Wei, do you know what the chairman of the committee called us all over this time? ”
"Chief Ho said that the chairman wants to launch a large-scale counteroffensive...... Isn't it going to be real? Qin Wei asked cautiously.
"How so?" Bai Zhenxi snorted coldly, "How 'wise' is our chairman? Now the Japanese are fighting to the death with the Soviet Union, and even if they want to fight, they will have to wait until they are about to decide the winner. ”
"Makes sense, it's me thinking too much." Qin Wei said.
"Of course, the chairman of the committee will not be in a hurry to deal with the Japanese, but it is still possible to take advantage of this time to clean up the Communist Party." Chen Lifu's face changed again, but he could only take the right not to hear the objection in Bai Zhengxi's words, "The Communist Party has developed extremely rapidly in recent years, and it has seriously threatened the government's rule over all parts of North China...... Therefore, the chairman of the NPC National Committee convened everyone this time to discuss a way to deal with the Communist Party. ”
"There's nothing I can do. And I am firmly opposed to going into action with the Communist Party at such a time. Qin Wei shook his head directly, after all, some positions still have to be adhered to, "And I also think that if you want to solve the Communist Party, you can only use political means after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War!" The use of force is just a strategy! ”
"That's a good point, but I still have a question." After Qin Wei finished speaking, a thick Zhejiang accent suddenly sounded behind him, "The Communist Party can't move, what about Long Yun?" ”
"Long Yun?"
Qin Wei turned his head and saw Lao Jiang's shiny bald scoop. But what made him feel strange was that it was not Song Meiling who was following Lao Jiang, but Long Yun, who had only met him a few times! And the former "King of Yunnan" who should hate him to the bone is looking at him with a smile, like a lean version of Maitreya Buddha. However, at this moment, Qin Wei understood that Long Yun had already beaten the relationship to Chiang Kai-shek, and took advantage of the opportunity in front of him to force him to express his position. The purpose is naturally to let him go of the third child of the Long family.
"Qin Wei, you haven't answered my question yet." Seeing that Qin Wei was staring at Long Yun without speaking, Chiang Kai-shek asked again.
"Actually, taking Yunnan is for the good of Chief Long." Qin Wei pursed his lips and replied. (To be continued......)
