The sudden change in the attitude of the Nationalist government made Terauchi Shouichi angry, and he, who had been complacent about the brilliant plan he had come up with a few days ago, was now venting his anger in his office like an angry bull.

Hearing the crackling sound in the office, the guards outside hid far away, and none of them dared to approach. The temper of His Excellency the Commander is known to everyone, and it is fine in normal times, although it is severe, but it is not so indiscriminate as to kill innocents. However, once the Commander's anger level soars to a critical point, then it is the guards who are most vulnerable. Some time ago, there was a recruit from Hokkaido, because he didn't know the character of the commander, and was cut into two pieces by the angry commander, and his death was extremely tragic.

Suddenly, a soldier stared at the distance as if he had seen a savior. Following the soldier's eyes, I saw a Japanese officer in a lieutenant general's uniform walking briskly towards this side.

"Your Excellency the Commander is angry again?" As he walked to the door, the lieutenant general asked with a smile.

"Hai, yes, Your Excellency Chief of Staff, Your Excellency should go in and have a look!" The captain of the guard, Kojiro Yamada, replied respectfully, knowing very well that in the entire North China Front, only His Excellency the Chief of Staff could restore calm to His Excellency the angry Commander.

"Okay, you can do whatever you have to do, and I will persuade you from Your Excellency Commander!" After speaking, he strode towards the office of General Shouichi Terauchi.

Seeing General Naosaburo Okabe push the door in, Terauchi Shouichi restrained a little and threw a cup that he was about to fall into the table. Make a 'tom' sound.

Lieutenant General Naosaburo Okabe walked straight to the opposite side of Shouichi's desk in the temple and sat down, and then said, "Are you angry about the affairs of Chen Feng's department?" ”

"The Chiang government did not deal with Chen Feng's troops as we thought, but also added two new regiments to the 61st Army, although Chen Feng's position and rank were reduced, but in fact the 61st Army was still under Chen Feng's personal control, and our plan to kill Lu completely failed." General Shouichi Terauchi said loudly.

"It's not a failure, it's just that we didn't achieve what we expected. In fact, because of our touting, the government's wariness of Chen Feng has risen to a very high level. The tension between the two sides in the past few days was not fake, and Chiang, the leader of China, hoped to bring the 61st Army back to the central government, but because Chen Feng was too tough. The prestige of the 61st Army is too high. That's why we had to change our approach. As for the reinforcements of those two regiments, I'm afraid Chen Feng is not happy to accept it! ”

"Nani, although the 61st Army has inflicted heavy losses on the Mongolian army in the Xilin Gol grassland, its own losses are not small, and the reinforcements of the two regiments are enough to make up for his losses. How could Chen Feng not be willing to accept it? General Terauchi asked suspiciously.

"The 61st Army of China is a unit built by Chen Feng. It was developed by a local security regiment. The foundation is the Chen family's grain protection team, and it can be said that this force is Chen Feng's private army, and it is precisely because of this that the government of China will try to obtain the actual control of this force. even did not hesitate to get rid of Chen Feng. It is a pity that Chen Feng is now full-fledged, under the propaganda of the China government and us, Chen Feng has become the spiritual pillar of China's resistance, and there is also our Great Japanese Imperial Army on the sidelines, so that the China government does not dare to let go of Chen Feng, so it continues to supplement the 61st Army with a series of troops of the Central Army, dividing Chen Feng's rights in the 61st Army, so as to achieve the goal of gradually controlling the military and political power of the 61st Army, so Chen Feng is not necessarily willing to accept the supplementary troops allocated by the Chiang government. Lieutenant General Naosaburo Okabe said.

"Then what should we do now, although the killing plan has greatly intensified the relationship between the Zhina government and Chen Feng, but after all, it has not achieved the goal we expected, so have we been waiting for the Zhina government to slowly control the 61st Army?" Terauchi Shouyi said.

"Your Excellency, our purpose is not to assist the government of China in controlling the 61st Army, but to completely destroy this force of China that has brought great humiliation to the Imperial Japanese Empire and the Imperial Japanese Army. Although we have lit the first fire, this fire is still not strong enough, so that the government of China does not dare to use our fire to withdraw Chen Feng in one fell swoop, so we will pour some oil on this fire next. ”

"How?"

"The government wants to dilute the power of the 61st Army through division, and then achieve the goal of full control of the 61st Army, if they are really allowed to implement it slowly, it is likely that the final result will be that the commander of the 61st Army will be replaced by Chen Feng, such as Xue Yue, Luo Zhuoying or Du Yongming. This did not do us much good for the Imperial Japanese Army, and the 61st Army, a powerful force, still existed. Therefore, we have to destroy the situation created by the government of China, force them to act in advance, and completely intensify the contradictions between the 61st Army and the government of China. ”

"Yo Xi, what the Gangbu Army said is very reasonable, but Jiang Jiang, the leader of the Zhina, is a shrewd person, can your tactics really intensify the contradictions between them?"

"It's completely possible, according to the intelligence personnel who infiltrated the 61st Army in Tegaoke, the 61st Army is not monolithic, the 61st Army now has three infantry divisions and an air defense brigade, in addition to these troops, there is also a teaching brigade, all the officers and soldiers in this brigade are subordinate to the descendants of Chiang, the leader of the 61st Army, and they were transferred to the 61st Army not long ago, they are the nails that the government of China has driven into the 61st Army, as long as the opportunity comes, they can strike at any time, Take the 61st Army into complete control of your own hands. ”

"So what, are you going to co-opt the officers of this teaching brigade and put them in the service of the Great Japanese Empire?"

"Your Excellency Commander, don't you think it's time for Miss Minuchiko to act?" Lieutenant General Naosaburo Okabe sneered.

"You mean"

"That's right, even if Miss Miniko assassinates Chen Feng, as long as Chen Feng is dead or seriously injured, then the Shina government will definitely take over the 61st Army strongly, and there will inevitably be a conflict with other officers of the 61st Army at that time, and the 61st Army is likely to have infighting!"

"Then what if the government of China completely controls the 61st Army?" Shouichi Terauchi said with a frown.

"It doesn't matter, they won't have this opportunity. In the midst of the infighting between the 61st Army and the government forces of China, if our Imperial Japanese Army suddenly launched a strong siege, what does Your Excellency Commander think will be the result? Okabe Naosaburo said with a smile.

"Yo-shey, Yo-shey! Gangbe-kun is worthy of being the elite of the Imperial Japanese Army, so to speak, no matter whether Chen Feng dies or not, the conflict between the Chinese government and the 61st Army is inevitable, and when they have internal strife, our Imperial Japanese Army suddenly launches an attack, hum, whether it is the Chinese government army or the 61st Army, they will all die and die! General Shouichi Terauchi laughed wildly.

"Your Excellency, Commander, not only that, but we can also operate together with the troops stationed in Mongolia, according to the information gathered by the special high-tech intelligence agency. In order to defend Taiyuan, Yan Xishan in the second war zone of China transferred all the main forces of Suiyuan Province to Shanxi, including the main force of the Seventh Group Army of Suiyuan Province Chairman Fu Zuoyi. As long as we wipe out Chen Feng's 61st Army or inflict heavy losses, or drag their main force back, with the strength of the army stationed in Mongolia, we can completely take Guisui, Baotou and other important towns in northern Saibei in a short period of time, and control the head and tail of the Pingsui Railway. Lieutenant General Naosaburo Okabe added.

"Yo Xi, the army stationed in Mongolia has just suffered heavy losses, and its strength has not yet recovered. In order to ensure the smooth implementation of this operational plan, we must ask the base camp to replenish the troops stationed in Mongolia as soon as possible. And in 20 days it will be the New Year of the Chinese Lunar New Year, and the people of China would not have thought that we would launch a full-scale attack on this day, so we still have 20 days to prepare. Tegaoke is in trouble with Gangbu Jun to coordinate, I will personally deal with other matters, this time we must completely wipe out Chen Feng, the hateful Zhina, and the hateful Zhina army of the 61st Army, in order to comfort the imperial heroes who died in their hands! Please! General Shouichi Terauchi said excitedly.

"Hay!"

The Japanese army continued to conspire, but Chen Feng did not focus on dealing with the Japanese, which has to be said to be a sadness. In the face of Lao Jiang's pressing step by step, Chen Feng had to see the move.

On 11 January, Chen Feng convened a meeting of officers at and above the division level in Datong, at which it was decided to transfer elite troops from the 101st, 222nd, and 7th Independent Divisions to carry out guerrilla activities in enemy-occupied areas with battalions and companies as units.

After study, it was decided that a total of 15 battalions of elite troops from the three main divisions of the 61 st Army would be transferred to Rehe, eastern Hebei, central Hebei, and southern Chanan to organize resistance behind enemy lines.

On the one hand, this could reduce the vigilance of Lao Chiang, and on the other hand, it would try to contain the Japanese army so that it could not concentrate on launching an attack on the Kuomintang area.

At the same time, more units of the 61st Army turned from light to dark, except for the three garrison brigades of Xinghe, Jining, and Taolin. The cavalry group and the cavalry units of the divisions of the 61st Army also quietly disappeared from the battle sequence of the 61st Army, and in the internal bulletin, it was emphasized that the cavalry units had suffered heavy losses in the battle with the Japanese and had to be abolished.

As a result of this readjustment, although the 61 st Army still has three infantry divisions, an air defense brigade, a teaching brigade, and a guard regiment on the surface, in fact its total strength has shrunk considerably. In addition to the five battalions of infantry that have been transferred from each of the three infantry divisions, one cavalry regiment has also been transferred, and in addition to the more than 1,000 combat backbones who have been transferred from the special operations division, the total strength of each infantry division is now less than 18,000.
