Chapter 197: Prisoner Exchange (Asking for Subscriptions, Monthly Tickets, Asking for Various !! ）

Chen Feng was on fire, the 40th Army was on fire, but the Japanese were crying. Of course, this is just a metaphor, not that the Japanese are crying after watching the parade.

Kuro Musen and others returned to Beiping overnight and quickly made a separate report to General Terauchi Shouichi on the situation of the military parade of the 40th Group Army. In his report, Kurokimori expressed surprise at the combat effectiveness and fighting will displayed by the 40 th Group Army, and at the same time expressed his feelings at the sophistication of the 40 th Group Army's weapons and equipment. The most reluctant, Kuroki Mori, commented on the 40th Army: "It was a terrible army, they were well-equipped, they were high-spirited, and they had strong discipline, and in time, this army would be the greatest obstacle to the Holy War of the Great Japanese Empire." ”

With regard to the combat effectiveness of the 40 th Group Army, the North China Front Army and even the entire Japanese army base camp have some understanding; in the archives of the Special High-Tech Branch, the intelligence files of this Chinese Army, which has been in the army for less than a year, are fully placed in two large iron cabinets, and the North China Branch of the Special High-Tech Branch has even specially assigned a section to deal with the relevant matters of the 40 th Group Army. But no matter how much they imagine or reason, they can't judge how powerful this Chinese army really is.

Anyway, every time the empire underestimates the combat effectiveness of this army, the end result is that it will be completely disgraced and lose face. After listening to Kurokimori's report and also looking at the photos of the parade that the spy secretly got back, Terauchi Shouichi felt weak for a while. Fortunately, during this time, he did not rashly launch an attack on this Chinese army, otherwise the consequences would have been extremely serious.

This is not to say that the more than 400,000 troops of the North China Front are really afraid of the 40th Group Army. Rather, with such sophisticated equipment and a large number of troops of the 40th Army. Even if the front army had the strength to completely annihilate this army, it would not be able to do it in three days or two days.

In the past, General Terauchi Shouichi would have launched an all-out attack on that hateful Shina army without hesitation, but now he can't. The newly formulated operational plan of the base camp includes more than half of the strength of the North China Front Army and the Central China Front Army, so it is best not to clash with the big hedgehog of the 40th Group Army at this time, once it is entangled, it will inevitably affect the strategy of the base camp to annihilate the main force of the government army in China, and this responsibility cannot be borne by Shouichi Terauchi.

Terauchi Shouichi was fortunate but also felt a huge pressure, and he didn't know what to do. I was shocked when I saw it. I didn't expect this hateful Chinese army to develop to this point unconsciously. It can be a fatal threat to the front army, but I don't know why the hateful general of Lu Dao changed his normal state and took the initiative to show his hole cards, what does he want to do?

General Shouichi Terauchi really couldn't guess Chen Feng's thoughts. Previously, Chen Fengtao's strategy of raising light and obscurity was extremely successful. Pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger. In less than a year, it not only developed the little-known Xinghe Security Regiment into the current 40th Group Army, but also achieved brilliant results. The number of senior officers above the rank of major general lost by the Japanese army in his hands was no less than five, not to mention ordinary soldiers.

If it were according to normal people's thoughts, they would continue to implement this tactic of taoguang and obscurity, and they would be yin people again and again. Just like this time, if Chen Feng hadn't exposed his fangs by himself, I'm afraid that Terauchi Shouyi would have been fooled again.

In fact, Chen Feng's idea is not complicated, the army is to protect the family and defend the country, it is a kind of violence machine against the country, it is the hole card for safeguarding the core interests of the country, and it is the continuation, extension and upgrade of politics and diplomacy. As a machine of violence, the important task of the military is to effectively defend national interests and ensure that it is "available, used, and used well" at critical moments, rather than as a beautiful landscape for people to visit like a zoo. However, the problem now lies in the fact that because the Chinese army is filled with a large number of local warlord troops, they use various excuses to preserve their strength, and use the army as a tool for their own wealth and power, so that China's national defense strength is as fragile as paper, and in the eyes of the Japanese, the Chinese army has really become a tiger and lion in a zoo, which has lost its wildness, and can be killed with a few sticks.

From ancient times to the present, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, the military parade itself is a symbol of deterrence, and it is really contrary to common sense to use it as a pretext for "peace" in later generations. The military parade is a naked display of force, a flex of muscles against a hostile country. The purpose of the parade is to boost the morale of the soldiers, enhance the determination and courage of the people to support the country's war behavior, and deter the enemy and opponent to achieve the goal of "surrendering the army without a fight." This is the purpose of the parade. The purpose of holding this military parade of the 40th Group Army was to let the Japanese army see whether there was a dragon or a worm on the Chahar territory, and to discourage them from launching an attack on Chahar.

Chen Feng believed that with this show of muscles, the Japanese army would not dare to act rashly until they were completely sure. Chen Feng wants to set an example for those big and small warlords and bastards who are ready to defect to the enemy and treason, don't hide it, you are so powerful, who dares to touch you, the more obscene you behave, the more some people will bully you. Even if you don't have that strength, but if you have the courage to look at death as home, no one will dare to underestimate you, blindly "forbear", blindly seek "peace", and in the end you can only get the passive imposition of war.

Now that he has done so, it is a benchmark, and in the future, many patriotic soldiers like him will follow suit, and then little Japan will see China's courage and even more so China's strength. Moreover, he invested tens of millions of oceans to form this army, so he might as well boldly put forward such a solemn oath as "those who offend our China will be punished even if they are far away", so that the Japanese can see if China can be bullied.

Chen Feng's idea Terauchi Shouichi must have been unexpected, but through this military parade, Terauchi Shouichi has finally put the 40th Group Army at such a level where he can talk directly to him, although such a powerful opponent is hateful, but it should also be respected.

However, because of this, Terauchi Shouichi's determination to completely eradicate Chen Feng's department was strengthened, and for this reason, he secretly summoned Masahiko Takahashi, a military doctor of Manchurian Unit 731, on May 18.

Masahiko Takahashi was the person in charge of the "Breeze" operation plan in cooperation with Terauchi Shouichi, who was the leader of the first plague squad of the Manchurian 731 unit and had a high attainment in the plague bacteria.

On the night of May 18, with the cooperation of the North China Front, 300 carefully selected "Maruta" were held overnight in an independent concentration camp and then dispersed into the ranks of "prisoners of war." On the 19th, tens of thousands of "prisoners of war" who had just been forcibly escorted to Beiping were put on the train again and rushed to Zhangjiakou before they had time to eat.

At the same time, more than 20,000 Japanese nationals were also sent to Xuanhua one after another, and according to the agreement between the two sides, the prisoners were exchanged at the same time in Xuanhua, Wei County, and Ying County. However, the main exchange location was in Xuanhua, where 75,000 prisoners would be exchanged, and 25,000 of them would be accepted by the Japanese army. The main exchange point was a railway station between Xuanhua and Xiahuayuan, which was previously controlled by the Japanese army, and in order to show their sincerity, the Japanese army was willing to withdraw the large force from this railway station by the 20th.

Before the exchange of prisoners, each side sent a faction to the other side's camp to count the prisoners, and after confirming that there were no mistakes, the exchange began, and the two sides remained calm for a day after the exchange was completed, ensuring that the prisoners on both sides were evacuated to a safe place before military strikes could be carried out.

Chen Feng sent away the last group of people to watch the ceremony, and then returned to Xinghe with the guard brigade, he wanted to take charge of the overall situation, and as for the prisoner exchange, it was handed over to Li Wensheng and Xu Hu.

On May 20, Xu Hu came to Xuanhua City early with two regiments of soldiers to command, although the two sides agreed that the number of soldiers in charge of the exchange at the railway station could not exceed 500, but in order to prevent the other party from cheating, so both sides stationed heavy troops outside the railway station.

At 8 o'clock sharp, the commander of the cavalry regiment of the 7th Independent Division, Hairi Khan, crossed the red line drawn by both sides with more than 30 soldiers and went to the opposite side to check the prisoners. At the same time, a Japanese soldier Nakazo also led more than 30 Japanese soldiers to the side of the independent 7th Division to check the prisoners.

An hour later, the two sides confirmed that everything was correct, especially on the side of the 40th Army, and after the troops in the direction of Wei County and Ying County sent a telegram, confirming that the total number of prisoners in these three places was exactly 75,000, Xu Hu ordered the transaction to begin.

Due to the small number of Japanese expatriates, the Chinese prisoners crossed the red line first, and when the Japanese released one-third, the Chinese side also released one-third until the position was exhausted.

The captive exchange lasted from morning to evening, and then all the captives were exchanged, and neither side stayed at the end of the deal, protecting the transfer of their respective clansmen to safety.

On the afternoon of the 21st, when all the captives returned to Zhangjiakou, Xu Hu breathed a sigh of relief. Of course, the intelligence department is also busy, among so many people, there are people who are traitors, and there are also nails planted by the Japanese army, and it will not work at all without careful screening.

The actions of the intelligence department had already been prepared, and Kang Xiaowei and Jing Jing had been waiting in Zhangjiakou for a long time with more than 500 members of the intelligence department. As soon as people return to Zhangjiakou, the first thing they have to do is to take a bath and eat, and then they will be examined one by one.

This is not checked or tightened, and after checking Xu Hu, he found out that he was fooled, this Nimana is a prisoner of war, and most of them are farmers from the Northeast. According to these people's confessions, they were all arrested in a Japanese concentration camp half a month ago, docked at the port of Tianjin three days ago, and then handed over to them with swollen hands.

Xu Hu called it a regret, there were too many people during the exchange yesterday, and I didn't pay attention to it at all, there was a sixty-year-old man inside, and it was a shame that the Japanese grandson could transport such an old man from the Northeast. (To be continued......)
