Chapter 198: Border Conflict

The Japanese Army gave up the Black Dragon Society at this time and let the Black Dragon Society carry the black cauldron, which is undoubtedly the best way, and the only way to get rid of the assassination incident and their relationship.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the northern government has asked us to hand over Ryohei Uchida and Mitsuru Toyama, should we heed their demands?" Foreign Minister Lin Dong continued.

Prime Minister Xiyuan Temple Gongwang frowned: "Are those people too arrogant?" They are threatening the Japanese Empire! ”

"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister. I think so too. Regardless of whether or not this assassination was led by the Black Dragon Society, Ryohei Uchida and Mitsumi Toyama would definitely not be able to hand it over to the Shina people. The Black Dragon Society has a huge influence in Japan, and if we arrest Ryohei Uchida and Mitsuru Toyama, it will have a huge impact. In addition, even if it was really the Black Dragon Society that led the assassination this time, they did it completely to get rid of a henchman for the Great Japanese Empire, and they were the heroes of the Great Japanese Empire. The Great Japanese Empire, you must definitely protect them! Terauchi Masashi said with an angry face. Although the army wants to abandon the Black Dragon Society, this does not mean that they will agree to hand over Ryohei Uchida and Toyama Mitsuru to the northern government, and if they do, it will undoubtedly be a great blow to Japan's prestige. Japan, but one of the great powers! And the government in the north is nothing more than a local warlord force in China!

Terauchi's remarks were echoed by the other cabinet members. Japan, after all, is one of the world's great powers, and if it bows to and compromises with a local warlord in China, what will the rest of the world think of them? This is undoubtedly a shame for Japan. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for them to agree to the demands made by the northern government.

"The Great Japanese Empire will never bow to the Shina people!" Minoru Saito, the prime minister of the sea, also said.

"Oh well, on this issue. We rejected the man. Xiyuan Temple Gongwang said.

"Your Excellency Lu Xiang, I want to know, whether Wu Haoxuan was really hit, and whether he is dead or alive?" Saionji Gongwang asked. Although, he doesn't really like this kind of despicable and shameless way of getting rid of his opponent. But as Japan's prime minister, he first and foremost thinks about Japan's interests. Kill Wu Haoxuan. It is undoubtedly extremely beneficial to Japan. Even if it's a little mean, what does it matter?

Terauchi Masatsuki shook his head: "Your Excellency Prime Minister, we don't know about this. Shengjing City has been put under martial law in the whole city. They also shamelessly arrested a large number of Japanese civilians, which dealt a great blow to our intelligence agencies. It is not possible to confirm whether the other party is alive or dead. However, according to our speculation, even if the other party is not dead, he must have been deeply damaged. Otherwise, the northern government would not have reacted so much. ”

The Duke of Xiyuan Temple nodded: "Your Excellency the Foreign Minister, tell the people of China clearly." The assassination had nothing to do with the Empire of Japan. And warned them that if they slandered the Japanese Empire again, the Great Japanese Empire would make them pay. Those Japanese who were captured must also be released immediately and compensated. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister." Foreign Minister Lin Dong replied.

On October 3, the Japanese consul in Shengjing City, Shotaro Abe, replied on behalf of the Japanese government. He claimed that the assassination had nothing to do with Japan. Everything is a slander against Japan. As for the evidence, it was all forged. Even Jiro Suzuki and Katsu Yamaguchi. The Japanese side also did not recognize them as Japanese. But everyone is not stupid, and naturally they can see that the Japanese are dead ducks with hard mouths.

"Young marshal, as you might expect, the Japanese brazenly rejected our request, and firmly denied that they were behind it. Obviously, the Japanese are determined to protect the Black Dragon Society. Yang Du's face was angry.

"It's a Japanese character. But. It doesn't matter if they don't admit it. I didn't expect them to admit it either. But since they can do such a thing, then don't blame us for a tooth for a tooth! Wu Haoxuan said coldly. Although Li Yanling has passed the dangerous period and has begun to recover slowly. But Wu Haoxuan's hatred for the Japanese. But it hasn't diminished at all. This time, if Li Yanling hadn't blocked this shot for him, I'm afraid that bullet would have pierced his body directly! This makes Wu Haoxuan still have some palpitations when he thinks about it now. If the Japanese were able to use such a despicable and shameless way, why couldn't they use it?

Yang Du nodded, and he also agreed with Wu Haoxuan's revenge on the Japanese. Otherwise, the Japanese would really think that the northern army was easy to bully.

Wu Haoxuan did not reveal how he wanted to retaliate against the Japanese, but he already had a plan in mind.

That night, Wu Haoxuan issued an order to the troops on the front line. As a result, the Northern Army and the Japanese Army brought the prelude to a fierce conflict on the front line of the Yalu River.

After the end of the war, both the Northern Army and the Japanese Army deployed a large number of troops along the Yalu River. The Northern Army deployed four infantry divisions, including the 3rd, 6th, 7th and 8th Infantry Divisions. The Japanese Army, on the other hand, re-established the Korean Army, with General Sakuma Saoma as the commander of the Korean Army, and Major General Akashi Motojiro as the Chief of Staff of the Korean Army. The newly formed Korean Army has five divisions under its command, including the rebuilt 2nd, 3rd, 6th, 8th and 10th divisions, with a total of 110,000 men. Although these divisions were all annihilated by the Jilin Army in last year's war, the Japanese Army did not cancel the establishment of these divisions this time, but rebuilt them. Even in their claims to the people at home, they insisted that the divisions had only suffered heavy losses and had not been completely annihilated.

Moreover, these five divisions are also one of the few divisions of the Japanese Army that remain full. The other 20 divisions were not fully staffed. Japan's current finances are simply not enough to keep all 25 divisions at full strength.

In addition, the commander of the Korean Army, General Sakuma Sakuma, received an order from the General Staff Headquarters, and Marshal Oyama Iwa, who was the chief of staff, clearly told him that Japan now lacked funds to fight the Northern Army. Therefore, the DPRK military cannot provoke incidents without authorization during this period. When Japan completes its preparations for war, they will naturally look for an opportunity to go to war. This also made the commander of the Korean Army, General Sakuma Sakuma, very depressed.

However, although the two sides have signed an armistice. However, skirmishes on the border have never stopped. Firefights occur almost daily, such as firing cold guns at patrols on the opposite bank, or sending small units to secretly cross the river and scout enemy intelligence. However, under the deliberate control of both sides, the scale of the exchange of fire did not increase.

The division headquarters of the 6th Infantry Division of the Northern Army, located in Kuandian. Of the four infantry divisions deployed by the Northern Army along the Yalu River, except for the 8th Infantry Division, which stayed in the rear as a reserve, the remaining three infantry divisions were deployed to the west bank of the Yalu River. And, since last year, they have been building a defensive line along the Yalu River. In the case that the Kwantung Prefecture has been recaptured by the Northern Army, the next time the two sides fight again, I am afraid it will be along the Yalu River. In addition, Fengtian Province began large-scale industrial construction, so that the Northern Army must be able to defend itself against the enemy outside the country in future wars. Otherwise, the heavy industry base that has been so hard to build may be destroyed.

"Division commander, this is a telegram from the General Staff Headquarters!" A communications officer sent a telegram to Major General Zhao Tianlong, commander of the 6th Infantry Division.

After Major General Zhao Tianlong read the telegram, a trace of joy suddenly appeared on his face.

"Holy shit, these little devils still don't admit it. In that case, we're going to have to give them a little bit of power. Get me Li Zhenwu! Major General Zhao Tianlong ordered.

The heralds immediately went to deliver the order, and in less than twenty minutes, Colonel Li Zhenwu rushed from his regimental headquarters to the division headquarters. The current Li Zhenwu is no longer the battalion commander of the 3rd Infantry Division, and he has also been promoted to colonel and regimental commander by taking advantage of the large-scale expansion of the Northern Army this time. However, instead of remaining in the 3rd Infantry Division, he was transferred to the 6th Infantry Division.

"Report to the division commander, Li Zhenwu reports to you!"

"Sit down, this is a telegram from the young marshal to you!" Major General Zhao Tianlong handed a telegram to Li Zhenwu.

The content of the telegram was to inform Li Zhenwu that Li Yanling had passed the dangerous period and was not in danger of life, and was now recovering, so he should not worry.

This news made Li Zhenwu feel relieved. After learning that Wu Haoxuan was assassinated, and Li Yanling blocked a shot for Wu Haoxuan, he was very anxious, for fear that his sister would have three longs and two shorts. In addition, he hated the Japanese even more. In the past two days, his 61st Regiment was in the Yalu River and exchanged fire with the Japanese.

"Zhenwu, the order from the General Staff Headquarters has been issued, you go back and prepare, this time we have to teach the Japanese a lesson, let them know that we are not easy to bully." Major General Zhao Tianlong said.

"Yes, Commander!" Li Zhenwu nodded, he was also eager to kill a few Japanese devils to avenge his sister-in-law.

That night, the reconnaissance company of the 61st Infantry Regiment and the divisional reconnaissance battalion of the 6th Infantry Division, under the personal leadership of Li Zhenwu, commander of the 61st Infantry Regiment, quietly crossed the Yalu River in a small boat, resisted the Japanese defense area on the east bank of the Yalu River, and with the help of the cover of the mountains and forests at night, they touched the Japanese position.
