Jiang Qiang took a helicopter to Xiongmi's office in Xintai County. Seeing that Chen Zhengnian and other people from the first division were coming, the room was too small to accommodate so many people. Wang Qiang stepped forward and worked for a while, and lifted Ozaka Kamizo and Ganji Jutaro up, leaving only Xia Yuan Xiong Mi lying on the ground and refusing to get up.

Jiang Qiang's voice was cold and faint: "Lieutenant General Xia Yuan Xiong Mi, the commander of the 1st O Eighth Division, I didn't hurt your muscles and bones when you stood up, and your injuries didn't affect your standing." A little backbone, don't let me look down on you" Xia Yuan Xiong Mi couldn't pretend anymore, so he stood up with the support of the two warriors, stared at Jiang Qiang viciously with a pair of hungry wolf-like eyes.

Next, Jiang Qiang stopped speaking in Japanese, he spoke in Chinese, and asked Wang Hui, a Japanese teacher of the former special combat team who acted with the division, to act as an interpreter.

Jiang Qiang looked up at the sky, his eyes seemed to be trying to see through what was hidden in the night sky, and he sighed faintly for a while: "Since ancient times, the two armies have faced each other and captured the enemy's commander, generally not insulting the other party's personality, but giving the other party a decent end, so as to show the heart of the victor." Wang Hui saw that Jiang Qiang paused, and hurriedly translated what he said into Japanese.

Shimoto Xiongmi knew Jiang Qiang, and Otaka Kamizo and Ganji Jutaro didn't know Jiang Qiang, but from Jiang Qiang's tone of ordering Shimoto Kumami to stand up, the two of them also knew that the person sitting opposite must be the prestigious Jiang Qiang.

After Wang Hui finished translating, Ogaka Kamizo shouted first: "Jiang Qiang, your big words are full of words, and they are good." Your soldiers illegally interrogated us and tortured us to extract confessions, and I protested that I was a lieutenant general of the Imperial Japanese Army, and that I should be treated as a prisoner of war according to international conventions, and that you should let us sit down, give me food to eat, and give me a glass of water to drink."

Before Tail Taka Kamizo finished speaking, Wang Qiang scolded "your mother's", raised his leg is a kick, and directly kicked Tail Taka Turtle Hide to his knees, causing several reporters who came with Wang Hui to laugh. After laughing, these reporters remembered that the commander and chief of staff were sitting on it, and quickly shut up and were busy recording.

After Wang Hui finished translating the words of the tail high turtle hide, Jiang Qiang said: "Wang Hui, there is no need to translate the words of the devil. Because in the past, I had only seen the bodies of Japanese lieutenant generals and major generals, and I had not seen the living lieutenant generals, and I had captured three Japanese lieutenant generals at once, so I was curious, so I will take a look at you. This look, I'm disappointed, it turns out that it's just like this" After Wang Hui translated, the tail high turtle Zang roared viciously: "Baga, the Jiaodong Army is nothing more than that"

Jiang Qiang smiled and suddenly said: "Odaka Kamizo, let me ask you a question, I heard that you are not the biological son of Otani Heiji, but the illegitimate son of Otaka and Otani Heiji's wife who stole their lives, and because of this relationship, the Otaka family adopted you as an adopted son." I don't know if this rumor is true or not, can you tell me? ”

This time he completely blinded the tail high turtle hide, and he couldn't figure out why Jiao Dongjun knew the names of his biological father and adoptive father, so it took him a long time to react and curse loudly.

Jiang Qiang laughed, and after laughing, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Ogaka Kamizo and said, "Otaka Kamizo, let me tell you, your Twelfth Army is not the opponent of our Jiaodong Group Army. Originally, I wanted to shoot you directly, but then I thought it would be better to hand you over to the Nanjing government for trial. After all, you are also a Class B war criminal announced by me, and the Nanjing government also needs you to go over and give an explanation to those soldiers who died in the war at this time.

What would it be like to be brought to our courtroom in front of the cameras of a horde of Chinese and foreign journalists? I believe that when your wife and children see that the photos of you are on trial are published in newspapers around the world, they will be ashamed and obediently commit suicide one by one. From now on, the Otaka family will be cut off from children and grandchildren, and the Otani family will also linger in the eyes of the Japanese. Maybe every morning when someone from the Otani family opens the door, they will be filled with garbage and feces. In the end, the people of the Otani family will be closed and left to fend for themselves in their own homes, regretting how their family could have produced such an evil seed as you. Let me tell you, this is the result of your aggression against China and the massacre of civilians. There are also Shimoto Kumaya and Ganji Jutaro, and your ending is the same. If you are lucky enough to die a little later, you will definitely receive the news that your family members have committed suicide under the pressure of Japanese public opinion, and then you will know that God is punishing you and will completely eliminate you and your family from the world. ”

When Jiang Qiang said this, everyone present felt the cold hatred in his tone. Xia Yuan Xiong Mi couldn't support it, he was captured by Shunzi himself, he knew the methods of the Jiaodong Army, and after listening to Jiang Qiang's words, he knew that if he was really put on the trial seat, his family would be completely finished. I'm not afraid that Terauchi Shou will come back, but I'm afraid that Terauchi Shou will slip away, in that case, General Jiang Qiang wants to talk to Terauchi Shou about tea and go to Tokyo, which is very troublesome. Second, it is necessary to let Terauchi Shou know that the air group of the North China Front has basically been disabled, and if the Kwantung Army air group suffers another major loss, the Japanese air power in North China and Northeast China will basically be finished. At that time, if the Kwantung Army clashes with Wang Yizhesheng in Heilongjiang again, the problem will be serious. The third is to tell the temple that when the Jiaodong Army completes its rest and replenishes the battle losses, Jinan and Dezhou will definitely become the next targets of attack, and the end of the Japanese army in Shandong has arrived.

Wang Hui was a little puzzled, and reminded Jiang Qiang that he should not mention Jinan, but only Dezhou or Xuzhou, so as not to expose the combat intentions of our army's main force. Jiang Qiang was happy when he heard it, and said that he couldn't imagine that Wang Hui was not only a reporter and editor-in-chief, but also a general, which was amazing. And he wrote as he said, and when he had finished writing, he showed him.

Besides, Liu Qingshan came to report, saying that he had dug up the money, and the old devil Xiong Mi of Xia Yuan was indeed cunning, and hid all the money underground, and under the bookcase in his office was the entrance to the cellar, which should be the old cellar of the owner of Shihu Garden. When I went in, I saw a lot of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, gold bars and gold bricks alone were packed into five suitcases, silver dollars were packed in sacks, and some yen, and the soldiers were counting the quantities.

When Jiang Qiang heard this, he waved his hand to let Wang Hui go down to conceive, and ordered Liu Qingshan to find Wang Dacang, the commander of the First Division Supplementary Regiment and Wei Zhengji, the chief of staff who stayed in Xintai, and they were responsible for the inventory, and all calligraphy, paintings, and antiques should be registered and escorted back to the bank in Jiaodong. Money is nothing, many of these antiques, calligraphy and paintings are national treasures, and they will be handed over to the museum after the victory in the future.

When Xia Yuan Xiong Mi came out of the Yanxiang Building again, his spirit seemed to be much better. Jiang Qiang asked the soldiers to move a wooden bench for Xia Yuan Xiong Mi to sit down, and asked Wang Qiang to connect the chin of Gansu Jutaro, and then said: "Lieutenant General Xia Yuan Xiong Mi is very smart, and he can seize the opportunity at a critical time." Odaka Kamezo doesn't say anything, it must be a public trial. Lieutenant General Jutaro Kanji, do you want to stand trial, or do you want to commit suicide by caesarean section? ”

Ganji Jutaro has not yet realized the consciousness of Xiongmi, and when he opened his mouth, he scolded Jiang Qiang as a demon. Tomorrow I will take you to a safe place where you can concentrate on writing. If you can't write a confession that satisfies me in half a month, I'm sorry, but you're still going to be put on trial. ”

Ganji Jutaro thought he had a plan just now, but this time he fell into the ice cave again, and immediately roared, saying that he wanted Jiang Qiang to kill him, and he didn't want to be threatened and blackmailed by this kind of death.

Jiang Qiang smiled: "Want to die? It's too cheap for you. ”

Then I asked Wang Hui and a few reporters to come over and ask them to write a press release entitled "Japanese Lieutenant General Ganji Shigetaro, who defected and surrendered, with his photo, which will appear in the newspaper tomorrow." It is necessary to clearly write down the truth about Emperor Hirohito's brazen war of aggression and to confess his crimes, and I believe that Lieutenant General Shigetaro will soon become a celebrity all over the world, and let the spit of the whole Japanese people drown his family

When Ganji Jutaro heard this, he was completely soft, knelt down and kept kowtowing, and kept saying in his mouth, "I'm sorry for your trouble, I'm willing to serve you, please take care of me." Jiang Qiang stopped bothering with him and agreed to let him write a confession within fifteen days.

When Wang Dacang, commander of the supplementary regiment of the 1st Brigade, and Wei Chengcheng, chief of staff, came to Shihu Garden, Jiang Qiang's work was also done, and he told Wang Zhi and Wei Zhengxin to take good care of the three devil lieutenant generals, clean up the Twenty Lipu Airport overnight, fill up the captured landline plane with tail high turtle hide, and send two pilots to carry out the flight mission. The three people of Tail Gao Guizang were safely escorted to the Qixia County Airport of the Jiaodong Group Army, handed over to Zhuang Tao's custody, and prepared to send them to stand trial.

After dealing with all this, Jiang Qiang, Chang Yuan, and Liu Qingshan led the division headquarters to leave Xintaixin in the vast night and drive towards the Jinan front. Jiang Qiang's judgment was right, it was indeed Terauchi Shouichi who returned to North China. Shouichi Terauchi took Masako, Toshio Tani and the escorted fighter group from Tokyo to the Sasebo base for a short stop.

In Sasebo, Terauchi met with the commander of the fleet who had been ordered to reinforce Qingdao and ordered him to set sail immediately and to rush to Qingdao as soon as possible to support the Marines and the Qingdao garrison in Qingdao and ensure the safety of Qingdao. At the same time, it is imperative to remain vigilant and strictly guard against a sneak attack by the fighters of the Jiaodong Army to avoid the recurrence of the tragedy of the Longxiang aircraft carrier formation.

In a hurry to return to North China, Terauchi Shou did not stop for long in Sasebo. After the plane refueled, Terauchi Shou gave the order to take off, aiming at Tianjin. On the way to Tianjin, Terauchi Shou repeatedly pondered a question, that is, why did Jiang Qiang always hit the soft underbelly of the imperial army every time?

From the moment he learned that Otaka Kamezo had been caught, Terauchi Shou was thinking about this issue. However, from the Imperial Palace to the General Staff Headquarters, Terauchi Shou had been busy judging the direction of Jiang Qiang's attack and urgently guiding the troops to fight, so he did not have time to think deeply. Now sitting on the plane, there is time, and Shouichi Terauchi can ponder this question carefully.

Terauchi clearly remembers that before the war, the Japanese Empire, from top to bottom, believed that Japan was the master of Asia and had a monopoly in China. The Greater Asianism advocated by Toyama Manitsu essentially meant expelling the strength of the British and American powers from Asia and establishing a new Asian order dominated by Japan. For example, Eiji Amaba, the chief of the Intelligence Section of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, issued a statement as early as 1934, arguing that the joint assistance of European and American countries to China did not take into account Japan's position in the East; Japan's actions in China do not allow foreign interference. At the beginning of the war, when he assumed the post of commander of the North China Front, everyone from the emperor to the common people knew that China was no match for Japan, both economically and militarily, and what was particularly advantageous was that China was not unified and was still in a state of warlord warfare, and the country was filled with an air of disappointment from top to bottom. Therefore, the army will think that once a war breaks out between China and Japan, the problem can be solved within three months.

Unexpectedly, after the North China Incident, China has undergone a miraculous change, from top to bottom: unity to resist the war. Even those warlords who fought for territory and fought with the chairman of the committee raised the banner of the War of Resistance and stood together with the chairman to fight against the Imperial Japanese Army. In particular, Jiang Qiang and the Asian People's Liberation Army (PLA) led by them were able to put down their shelves and unite with the chairman to resist Japan. If this development continues, it is very likely that the various forces in China will unite and form a reunification in the true sense, and wouldn't that be the most stupid thing that the Japanese Army has done?

Terauchi Shou closed his eyes a little painfully, and sat motionless in his chair, looking like a stone sculpture. Miss Masako, who was sitting on the side, didn't know about Terauchi Shouichi's mental activity, and thought that he was uncomfortable, so she stretched out her little hand and put it on Terauchi Shouichi's forehead, wanting to touch it, feel his body temperature, and see if it was a fever.

This Japanese woman is such an unpredictable animal. Miss Masako was originally a well-educated lady, but the militaristic spirit unique to Japan's good education hurt her. The little girl's family insisted on going to the front line in North China to serve His Majesty the Emperor's Great East Asian Holy War. Well, His Majesty the Emperor didn't feel her loyalty, but was pushed into bed and raped by his father's classmate Shouichi Terauchi.

In the days when Terauchi Shou was powerful in North China, Masako also evolved from a relatively innocent girl to a woman who coveted power. When Terauchi Shou left North China and returned to Japan, he was worried that Masako would be overrun by the likes of Naosaburo Okabe, so he brought her back to Japan.

It is said that Masako should be satisfied and happy when she returns to her parents, and she should no longer ignore Terauchi Shoucai. Because after all, she is a famous lady in Japan, Terauchi Shouichi is old, and there is a genuine lady, she can't do it if she wants to be a Terauchi countess, at best, she can only do a side room, which her father will never allow.

During Terauchi Shou's visit to Germany, it was the most depressed and sad period for Masako since she was a child. His father didn't know where he heard about his daughter and Terauchi Shou, and he had no choice but to take his daughter out of anger and ground her ground. It is not possible to hold back Masako, who is flattered by the Japanese puppet soldiers in North China, and is looking forward to Terauchi Shouichi coming back from Germany as soon as possible so that he can take her away.

Terauchi Shou, the old devil, is greedy for Masako's beauty, and he hasn't gotten tired of playing yet, so before he was ordered to return to North China, he specially ordered the guards to drive a car to pick up Masako. Masako's father naturally wouldn't agree, and got into a quarrel with Terauchi Shouichi's guards. This crazy girl, when she saw that her father would not let her go, smashed the window on the second floor and jumped down, got into the car and ran, so angry that her father took out an Oriental knife from home and chased the black smoke behind the car and shouted and cursed, causing the neighbors to point their fingers and poke and talk about Masako becoming the mistress of the earl of the temple.

After seeing Shouichi Terauchi at the airport, Masako hugged and kissed, shouted and cried, which made Shouichi Terauchi's ambition extremely explosive, thinking that he could conquer such a stunner, why not win the war with the Eighth Route Army?

The physiological hunger and thirst were temporarily solved, and Terauchi Shou began to think about business again. This time, he no longer thinks about big strategic issues, and returns to the idea at the beginning, that is, why can Liu Yimin always hit the soft underbelly of the imperial army every time?

Terauchi Shou carefully recalled every major battle since the Jiaodong Group Army and Qin Siyu of Tianjin joined the war, and finally found a problem, that is, at the end of each battle of Jiang Qiang's army, there would be a period of recuperation, so that the Japanese army could not find their exact location. As soon as the Japanese army is paralyzed and starts a new operation, Jiang Qiang will lead his troops to suddenly appear and stab the Japanese army fiercely. This knife was always stabbed in a fatal place, causing the Japanese army to the bone marrow.

Terauchi Shou thought about it and felt that the reason why Jiang Qiang's troops chose this tactic of concealing and recuperating after a sudden blow illustrated a problem, that is, Jiang Qiang was very good at collecting and analyzing intelligence, and he had an extremely accurate grasp of the Japanese army's campaign actions, to the extent that he was able to anticipate the enemy's opportunities. It is precisely because of this that they firmly grasped the initiative on the battlefield and led the imperial army by the nose.

Terauchi Shou couldn't understand that he had already taken strict confidentiality measures, why could Jiang Qiang still take the lead everywhere?

People like Terauchi Shou, who are all generals who command the army, don't believe that there will really be any rebirth of Zhuge or anything like that, he will only look at every action of his opponent from the perspective of military command. After thinking about it, he couldn't figure out why Jiang Qiang could always hit the weakness of the imperial army every time, but he figured out a problem, that is, he could no longer let Jiang Qiang lead the way by the nose, he had to regain the initiative on the battlefield, dig a trap to make Jiang Qiang jump, and let the Jiaodong Group Army follow the baton of the imperial army.

Don't underestimate Terauchi Shou's idea, he is the supreme commander of the Japanese army in North China, and a change in strategic thinking is likely to bring endless trouble to the Jiaodong Army.

After arriving at the Tianjin airport, Terauchi Shou stopped again to refuel the escort fighters. In the middle of this, Terauchi Shou began to contact Lieutenant General Naosaburo Gangbe, chief of staff of the North China Front. This connection, Terauchi Shou took a blow to the head. Okabe Naosaburo reported to him that the commander of the 33rd Division, Lieutenant General Ganji Shigetaro, had sent a farewell telegram, and then lost contact, judging that the division had been shattered.

That's not all, Okabe Naosaburo then told him that the group of 60 fighters led by Major General Nakamoto Moritaka of the First Flying Regiment of the North China Front Aviation Group suffered heavy losses between Xintai and Jinan, and in the end, only Major General Nakamoto Moritaka fled back in one plane.

After listening to the report of Naosaburo Gangbu, Shouichi Terauchi felt miserable in his heart, and even saved the Baga that had been on his lips in the past, and ordered Naosaburo Gangbu to truthfully report the situation to the base camp, and then urged the fighters to speed up refueling, and gave detailed instructions to the commanders of the Tianjin garrison and naval officers who came to greet them, encouraging them to fulfill their duties, fight hard, and be sure to defend Tianjin.

When the group was refueled, Terauchi Shou didn't have the heart to stay anymore, and flew to Jinan Airport with the group.

This time, Terauchi Shou no longer had the interest in flirting with Miss Masako, and called the new commander of the 12th Army, Gu Shoufu, to give him a detailed introduction to the operational characteristics of the Jiaodong Group Army.

After introducing the situation, Terauchi Shou and Gu Shoufu discussed the Shandong war situation. These two old devils, one is the commander of the front army who has strategic thinking and has a deep understanding of the Jiaodong Group Army, and the other is about the commander of the former Sixth Division who is charging into battle. The two arched together, but it was also a perfect match, and soon a consensus was formed on the Shandong battle situation.

In the view of Terauchi Shouichi and Gu Shoufu, Jiang Qiang would definitely take advantage of the great victory and take advantage of the empty Japanese troops in the hinterland of Shandong to quickly eliminate the Japanese forces in Luzhong, Ludong, and Jiaodong, and then capture Jinan and Dezhou, and compete with the Japanese army for control of Shandong.

In view of this situation, after arriving in Jinan, the first step was to unify the command of the 12th Army, organize overseas Chinese and garrisons on the basis of the 34th Division and the Jinan garrison, build a strong defense line, and use Jinan as a bait to attract the Jiaodong Group Army to attack. In the second step, Jinan and Xuzhou airports should be used as bait, and the front army will also make arrangements for other airfields in North China to attract the air force of the Jiaodong Group Army to come and attack them by surprise, and use fighter groups to completely destroy them and relieve them of future troubles. The third step is that the 12th Army must hold on to Jinan for a week, through strong city fortifications, with the cooperation of the air force, to consume Jiang Qiang's troops as much as possible, and wait for the front army to mobilize elite troops to gather and annihilate Jiang Qiang's main force under the city of Jinan.

In the end, Terauchi Shoufu patted Gu Shoufu on the shoulder and said: "Your Excellency Gu Shoufu, I am optimistic about your performance in the Sixth Division, those old people in the army accuse your Sixth Division of lax discipline and tarnish the image of the Japanese Army, which is pure nonsense. Let me tell you, as long as the Jiangqiang Department of the Jiaodong Group Army can be eliminated, no matter what you do, you can get the understanding of the front army and the base camp. Of course, after eliminating Jiang Qiang's Jiaodong Group Army and stabilizing the situation in Shandong, we still have to adopt a policy of softness towards the common people and let them be our obedient people. ”

Gu Shoufu, the devil, likes to rape, rob, kill, and set fire the most, and Terauchi Shouichi said this, undoubtedly authorizing him to act recklessly, which is simply too bad for him!

Gu Shoufu smiled, raised his hand to hold his glasses, his eyes passed through the thick myopia lenses, and stared at General Terauchi Shouichi: "Your Excellency Commander, please rest assured, the Twelfth Army will definitely live up to your trust, even if it fights to the last man, it will also hold Jinan until Jiang Qiang is captured alive in the end." ”

Terauchi Shou was very satisfied with Gu Shoufu's performance, and said Yo Xi in his mouth. In the end, the two old devils, you look at me, I look at you, laughing, it seems that everything is in their calculations.

How could Terauchi Shou think that people are not as good as heaven, and he asked Gu Shoufu to stick to Jinan, which is equivalent to sending Gu Shoufu to the ghost gate. As soon as the plane landed, Gu Shoufu officially assumed the position of commander of the Twelfth Army, then one of his feet would have already entered the ghost gate. He didn't have to wait for the post-war trial, the Jiaodong Army would arrange a suitable place for him.

After arriving at Jinan Airport, Major General Kobayashi Asaburo, chief of staff of the 12th Army, who came to greet him, asked Terauchi Shou to drink a pot of bitter wine. It turned out that after the 34th Division received the order to reinforce Jinan, the commander of the division, Lieutenant General Guan Guiji, resolutely carried out the order of General Terauchi Shouichi, quickly gathered his troops, and began to advance towards Jinan.

The 34th Division undertook the task of guarding the area of the detective case, and also undertook the garrison task of the Jinan-Tai'an section of the Jinpu Road. This area is controlled by them, the transportation is convenient, there are both trains, automobiles, and rubber-bottomed cars, and the troops are concentrated quickly and move quickly, and the vanguard troops soon arrive near Jinan and begin to deploy defenses. Unexpectedly, at this time, the main force of the 34th Division was attacked by the Eighth Route Army Air Force and suffered heavy casualties. According to the report of Lieutenant General Guan Guizhi, the 34th Division suffered more than 4,000 casualties in the gap between the Jiaodong Army's fighters, which is equivalent to one-third of the battle losses. Shouichi Terauchi was so shocked that his eyes were about to fall out!
