Chapter 1: The Darkness Before Dawn (2)

Song Zheyuan was not fooled at all. Matsui had no choice but to call Ouyang Yun head-on. At this time, the unreasonable demands of the Japanese army had been sternly rejected by Fu Kaiming. Matsui said on the phone that if the Chinese side refused to allow the Japanese army to enter the city to search, the Japanese army would enter the city by force, and the Chinese side would bear all the consequences caused by this, and hinted that if the military did not cooperate, it would likely trigger a full-scale war between the two countries.

In the eyes of the Japanese, Ouyang Yun is undoubtedly China's No. 1 thorn, and the soldiers under this thorn are naturally full of thorns.

The staff officer on duty was still a young man with strong blood, and after listening to Matsui's threat, the young man was not frightened, but replied in a very "arrogant" tone: Just kidding, enter by force? You can try it, it just so happens that we have recently received a large number of labor orders - Chief Matsui, the soldiers of your country are not good at fighting, but the work is first-class, you can rest assured and boldly come, we will not cut off our heads!

This little staff officer is really sharp-toothed and sharp-mouthed, and just a few words are like a few big slaps in the face of Matsui. The little devil was so angry that he almost vomited blood on the spot, and he couldn't stop Ya Ge, but there was nothing he could do.

After the victory in Tianjin, Ouyang Yun and Zhang Zizhong's original idea was to coerce the Japanese into signing an "agreement" through those prisoners of war. Originally, they thought that it would be impossible to exchange four or five thousand devils for the three northeastern provinces, but it should not be a problem to sign an agreement so that the Japanese would never covet North China. Unexpectedly, they thought of the Japanese as too kind. These despicable and shameless fellows were not only not coerced, but instead instigated a so-called international military investigation team, which rushed from Switzerland to Renqiu with great fanfare, to investigate on the spot whether the student soldiers had tortured prisoners.

The Japanese prisoners of war were captured by the 38th Division, how did they get to Renqiu? Here is Zhang Zizhong's trick. Nine out of ten captured little devils were seriously ill, and in this case, the 38th Division was not capable of healing at all. Of course, the most important thing may be that Zhang Zizhong knew that he was a hot potato, so he gave it to the Xuebing Army in the name of offsetting military funds.

Although Ouyang Yun didn't say anything about Zhang Zizhong's behavior, Li Tieshu and their opinions were very big, especially after learning that the so-called military inspection team was about to come to Renqiu.

As to how to deal with these prisoners of war, there are also different opinions among the officers and men of the cadet soldiers, as well as in society. Most people think they should be left to fend for themselves, while a few think they should be killed. Of course, there are many people who think that it is time to save lives. However, the most difficult way to deal with it was that Ouyang Yun was once again arbitrary, and decided to heal them first, and then make plans after the 38th Division and the Japanese side had a result in negotiations.

Ouyang Yun's decision made many people feel very puzzled, the reputation of the anti-Japanese heroes is outside, think about his and Chu Tiange's previous behavior, that is the master who can cut off the heads of hundreds of little devils at every turn, how can he become merciful now? Could it be that it is because of the relationship between the superiors that they began to look at it for a long time and became far-sighted? Or do you dare not "behave" like you did at the beginning?

In this regard, Hu Hanmin and Zhang Zizhong know Ouyang Yun better, and Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi are a little farther away, when these people talked about this matter with the people around them in private, in the face of everyone's puzzled eyes, they only said a sentence with a similar meaning to expose Ouyang Yun's old bottom - when have you ever seen Ouyang Yun, this kid, suffer? Is he the kind of person who is willing to suffer?

So, what is Ouyang Yun's calculation? Quite simply, if the 38th Division succeeds in negotiating with the Japanese, then the Cadet Army will gain a certain period of development from now on, then his investment is absolutely cost-effective. Ouyang Yun was not afraid of the Japanese invasion of China, he was just anxious about the lack of time, if he was given a little more time, he was confident that the sky in North China would completely change the sky. What if the negotiations between the two sides fail? It doesn't matter, haven't the Japanese always been known for their hard work and willingness to endure hardships? Moreover, since the level of industry in Japan is much higher than that of China, there must be some mechanics from factories and rural areas among these soldiers. This is easy to do, the cost of treating these little devils, as well as the consumption of Tianjin's victory, can be counted on their heads, so let them work to pay back.

The little devil is unruly and difficult to manage? This is not a problem, there is no diamond and no porcelain work, since Ouyang Yun dares to accept this garbage, there is naturally a way to make them obey.

The talks between the 38th Division and the little devils went on intermittently for two months, and in the meantime, the situation in Japan was certainly changing. On the political stage in China, you are also singing and I appearing, and the role is changing greatly. The Cadet Army, which had already been thrown up by Nanjing, ushered in an "angel" here, and this time it was Chen Bui as the representative, and the latest instructions he brought actually demanded that those Japanese prisoners of war be released.

Coincidentally, when Chen Bui and his entourage came to Renqiu, the Xuebing military authorities were holding a huge trial meeting on the square of the Renqiu City Government. The object of trial was all the captured officers and men of the 108th Division headed by Kenji Dohihara.

Chen Bui also had a task on this trip, that is, to secretly observe the true strength of the student army, in view of this, they disguised themselves as businessmen and entered Renqiu New Town, and later, they rushed to the square with the flow of people.

The trial meeting has been going on for half a month, from Kenji Tohihara to the privates, and the student army is a little devil this time, and he refuses to let go. The crimes of those high-ranking officials are very easy to handle, just take Tu Fei, the indictment against the old devil just lists his crimes on 13 sheets, among which the old devil also feels terrible is that he once peeked at the neighbor's little sister taking a bath in his childhood also poked out, as for what crime to convict, then let the public prosecutor open his mouth, what crimes against humanity, espionage, undermining China's stability and unity, territorial integrity, etc., etc., as a result, the comprehensive legal provisions of various countries in the world, The crimes committed by the old devil are enough to shoot a thousand and eight times. Of course, the Chinese have always been tolerant, and even so, they are still willing to give the old devil a chance to reform themselves, so they hired him as a senior military adviser to the Cadet Army. His salary will be used to compensate him for the crimes he has committed in previous years, and out of humanitarian reasons, the Cadet Corps will provide free food, clothing, shelter and transportation at the rank of brigade commander......
