With the explosion of the last ironclad car, it also officially announced the destruction of this Japanese transport convoy, under the fierce attack of the Snow Leopard Special Operations Group, the remaining less than a squad of Japanese troops was quickly wiped out, and when the Japanese reinforcement planes arrived at the scene, they saw only the vehicles that had not yet burned out and the wreckage of weapons scattered everywhere.

In the following days, the Dragon's Tooth Brigade continued to attack, either laying mines, digging traps, or blowing up bridges, which made the Japanese transport convoy miserable, and the Japanese transportation channel was almost paralyzed as a result.

The news that the transport convoy was frequently attacked and the roads were destroyed everywhere soon reached the Kwantung Army headquarters, and Umezu Mijiro had no choice but to send a large number of escort troops to escort the whole journey along the way. But the Snow Leopard Brigade changed its strategy again, this time they did not attack on their own, whenever they found a large transport team that they could not eat, they would summon a large number of Stuka bombers to bomb, and they played a guerrilla war with the Kwantung Army in which the enemy advanced and the enemy retreated, so that a large number of Japanese troops were exhausted and suffered heavy casualties.....

At the headquarters of the Kwantung Army, Umezu Mijiro and Ishihara looked at the telegram sent by Ryosuke Isoya, which said that the last line of defense on the periphery of Jinzhou was about to fall, and if the last line of defense fell, then Jinzhou would be completely reduced to an isolated city. At that time, personnel and materials from the outside world will not be able to be sent to Jinzhou, and the fall of Jinzhou will be a matter of time.

"Ishihara-kun, Wang Yizhe's army is really vindictive, we just bought the beard of Manchuria to sabotage their transportation lines, they immediately counterattacked, and they did it even more thoroughly than us, and now the transportation lines to Jinzhou have basically been paralyzed." Umezu Mijiro sighed and shook his head, his expression declining for a while.

Ishihara pondered for a moment and said, "Now it seems that the only way to do this is to step up the construction of Fengtian's fortifications, and to mobilize the two defense divisions of Jining to strengthen Fengtian's defense. "What? Also mobilize troops from Jinin! Umezu Mijiro was taken aback, "We have already mobilized three divisions from Jining last month, and if we mobilize two more divisions now, our troops in Jining will basically be requisitioned and transferred. ”

"I don't know that." Ishihara sighed, "This may be what the people of China said about demolishing the east wall and making up the west wall, hum!" Originally, our troops were still very sufficient, but under the blind command of that high-ranking soldier, more than half of the 500,000 elite army was lost, and we have not recovered yet. ”

Umezu Mijiro was silent for a while, reached out and took out his eyes, took out a soft cloth, wiped the water on the lenses, and said slowly: "Originally, two divisions could still be transferred in North Korea, but some time ago there was a big riot in Korea, and the imperial forces in Korea were used to suppress those Korean mobs, and now they really can't spare troops to support Manchuria." ”

Ishihara's fingers tapped lightly on the top of his desk, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Now our troops around Mukden have reached 300,000, but this is still not enough, we should increase our troops." Since the Empire is now short of troops, we can still recruit those Manchukuo troops to join us. ”

"Manchukuo troops?" Umezu Mijiro asked suspiciously, "Although I haven't seen the combat effectiveness of these people with my own eyes, I still have doubts about the combat effectiveness of the Shina people. Ishihara sneered a few times and asked, "Oh? Umezu-kun is skeptical about the combat effectiveness of the Shina people? So where are the troops that are storming Jinzhou now, and they can't be the troops of the Empire, right? ”

Umezu Mijiro was squeezed by Ishihara Waner like this, and his face suddenly turned a little red, and he almost couldn't get off the stage. For Umezu Mijiro's feelings, Ishihara Wanji didn't take it to heart, he picked up the hat on the table, stood up and walked towards the door.

Although Umezu Mijiro was so squeezed by Ishihara Waner that he could barely get off the stage, he still asked curiously, "Where are you going, Ishihara-kun?" "Go and visit us" Emperor Immanuel Kant ". With Ishihara's leisurely voice, his man had disappeared in the doorway.

In Changchun, Jilin Province, there is a place that is relatively special, and it means that the master who lives here is nominally the master of the entire Manchukuo, but in fact he does not even have the right to go out of his home, and the Japanese regard him as a puppet who pulls strings, and his every move must be allowed and monitored by the Japanese.

He was the last emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Pu Yi. Since Pu Yi ascended the throne for the third time in 1935, he has been imprisoned at home by the Japanese, nominally without worrying about food and clothing, but in fact he has lost even basic personal freedom.

Pu Yi has a perverse personality, sometimes fierce and sometimes gentle to people. He likes toys, golf, tennis, billiards, bows and arrows, horseback riding and cycling, stamp collecting, and driving cars. However, Pu Yi has actually been played by the Japanese in applause, acting as a tool for Japan's invasion of China, and he does not even have the power to leave the "emperor" palace, and his every word and deed and every move are under the control of the Japanese lieutenant general Yoshioka Yasunao who is monitoring him.

Today, a special guest was welcomed in the Puppet Manchurian Palace in Changchun, Jilin Province, he was Ishihara Wan'er, who hurried from Fengtian, and Pu Yi met him in the Puppet Manchurian Palace. In a living room of the palace, Pu Yi met with Ishihara Wan'er, who first pretended to apologize and said: "Your Majesty Emperor Kant, I am really ashamed that I have not been able to come to visit Your Majesty because I have been busy with official business recently. It is a great honor to finally be able to meet Your Majesty today. ”

Pu Yi, who is only thirty-two years old this year, has long been dissatisfied with his 'inhuman treatment', and after hearing Ishihara's words, he showed a sarcastic look, and said with a smile: "Oh, is it really an honor to see Lieutenant General Ishihara?" "Ugh!" Ishihara was also depressed after hearing this, and I just said casually that you are still serious. But since the words came out, Ishihara had to reply stubbornly: "Of course this is true, Ishihara has long wanted to come over to listen to His Majesty's teachings, but unfortunately he has not been able to spare time, I am really sorry." ”

Pu Yi has been a puppet for so long, and he still knows a lot about the tricks of the Japanese, these Japanese are all unprofitable goods, where will they remember themselves if there are no good things? Today, the lieutenant general, who is said to be the chief of the general staff of the Kwantung Army, hurried over, and must have something to do on his own, right?

"Oh! I wonder what Ishihara-kun has to do when he comes this time? Pu Yi picked up the teacup and took a sip in a slow manner. These paralyzed Japanese people will lift me to the sky when they need me, and throw me aside when they don't need me, how can there be such a good thing in the world.

In the face of Pu Yi's 'unreasonableness' Ishihara Wan'er was not angry, he just smiled and said: "Your Majesty Emperor Kant, the Great Japanese Empire and the contemptible people have always been very concerned about what happened to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty's efforts and sincerity in establishing the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere are also seen by the Great Japanese Empire, and the contemptible people came here to help Your Majesty better control the 'Manchurian Empire'." The Kwantung Army Command decided to help His Majesty to form an armed force again, which will be managed by His Majesty himself, so as to assist His Majesty in managing His Majesty's country. "When he said this, the expression on Ishihara's face was very 'sincere', well, at least in Pu Yi's opinion.

"Oh! Is it? Pu Yi stood up excitedly when he heard this, and Ishihara's move can be said to have hit Pu Yi's death hole. In Pu Yi's heart, there is nothing more important than restoring the glory and glory of his ancestors, and he has been working hard for this goal in Manchuria in the past few years, but how can the Japanese let their puppets have armed forces, even the only nominal Manchurian First Division and the Second Division of 20,000 armed forces are also in the hands of the Japanese, and Pu Yi, as the supreme commander on weekdays, is simply unable to mobilize a single soldier, and now the Japanese suddenly came to tell him that they would increase the armed forces for him and hand them over to him personally. The big pie that fell from the sky almost knocked him out.

However, Pu Yi was not completely confused by the bait thrown by Ishihara Wan'er, he turned to Ishihara Wan'er and said, "Ishihara-kun must have something to say, right?" You might as well say it all. ”

Ishihara smiled slyly: "Of course, our Great Japanese Empire also has a small request, that is, please ask Your Majesty to issue an 'edict' to allow the Great Japanese Empire to recruit Manchu men over the age of eighteen and forty in Jilin Province to join our reserve forces of the Great Japanese Empire and receive training from the Great Japanese Imperial Army." After repelling the attack of the Chahar army, these troops will naturally be returned to His Majesty as the armed forces of His Majesty's side. ”

"What, to conscript men from the age of eighteen to the army and under the age of forty?" No matter how confused Pu Yi was, he knew that something was wrong with this thing. Ishihara Wan'er is going to recruit all the adult Manchu men and send them to the front line, if the war is lost, then these Manchu men will have to ...... Pu Yi broke out in a cold sweat when he thought of this, the Manchus distributed in Jilin were about one to two million, and if this 'edict' was issued, at least 300,000 to 400,000 men could be recruited. "No, absolutely not!" Pu Yi said resolutely.

"Nani?" Ishihara's originally smiling emaciated face suddenly froze, and his small eyes suddenly showed a cold light, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty Kant, are you sure that you really don't want to cooperate with the Great Japanese Empire?" ”

"This ......" Hearing Ishihara Wan'er say this, a thin layer of sweat suddenly appeared on Pu Yi's forehead. Others don't know the methods of these Japanese, can he still not know? If he disobeys this high-ranking official of the Kwantung Army today, maybe he will suffer some kind of crime tomorrow, and the Japanese are not ruthless.

"Your Majesty, I think you should write this edict well, so that it will be good for you and for both of us, otherwise it will be bad if it causes some unpleasant things, what do you say?" Ishihara's words are a naked threat. When Pu Yi heard it, he didn't even want to say polite words to himself, what else could he do? I still can't twist my thighs in my arms.

In the end, Pu Yi could only obediently write an 'edict' in person, and signed his name and handed it to Ishihara Wan'er, as soon as the edict arrived, Ishihara Wan'er showed a hypocritical smile, patted Pu Yi's shoulder and began to talk about 'Manchurian friendship', the two had lunch together before Ishihara said goodbye and left, leaving only Pu Yi, who wanted to cry without tears, sat in the 'palace' and was stunned........

Just when Ishihara was busy pulling Zhuang Ding around and preparing to hold Mukden, the last line of defense outside Jinzhou City was finally broken under the onslaught of the 41st and 42nd Group Armies, which also announced the formal formation of the encirclement of Jinzhou in the Seventh War Zone.

Wang Yizhe, the commander of the Heilongjiang Group Army in Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, and Jiang Baili are studying the battle in Jinzhou, and now that the outer defense line of Jinzhou has been captured, all that remains is how to pick this fruit as quickly as possible. Because Heilongjiang has played its own banner, as the incarnation of the fifth general of Tang Juwu in Shanghai, the Heilongjiang Military Region's every move at this time has attracted the attention of the whole country, if it can successfully recover Jinzhou, it will undoubtedly add a lot of points to this newly established group army, so since returning from Baotou, Wang Yizhe has been studying the war in Jinzhou with Jiang Baili in the past few days, and now how to capture Jinzhou cleanly has become a top priority in front of Su Tong.

Jiang Baili held a half-smoked cigarette in his hand, looked at the military map that had been heavily circled in Jinzhou, and sprayed a long column of smoke before saying: "General Wang, now that Jinzhou has become our bag, all we have to do is how to put this thing in our arms as soon as possible." But there is one more problem that needs to be solved before launching a general offensive......"

Wang Yizhe nodded and smiled slyly, "Yes, we still have to determine the candidate for the commander-in-chief of the front line, after all, a snake can't be headless!" Gong Ning, which one do you say should be the commander-in-chief, Chang Jingwu or Huang Jianfeng? Jiang Baili glared at Wang Yizhe before scolding with a smile: "You kid is quite cunning, let me be this wicked person." ”

After speaking, Jiang Baili pondered for a while before saying: "In terms of talent, he often has a keen sense of smell when fighting martial arts, and is good at seizing fighters, and it is not an exaggeration to describe him as cunning as a fox and as fierce as a tiger." And Huang Jianfeng, he is very calm and tenacious when he fights, and his qualifications are enough, but ......."

Jiang Baili didn't finish his words, but Wang Yizhe heard it, now Jiang Baili is also quite embarrassed, according to the level of command and operation, Hu Lian should be the most suitable, but Huang Jianfeng's qualifications are too high compared to Chang Jingwu, let Chang Jingwu command the old superiors again and again, Jiang Baili is afraid that Huang Jianfeng has an opinion in his heart.

To be honest, seniority is a kind of thing that cannot be seen, touched, or dispensable, but at the same time, it is also a very important and very fatal thing, especially in a country like China that has followed the generations of heaven and earth for thousands of years, especially in the army. When Su Tong was in Nanjing, he saw a lieutenant general salute the major general first, and the major general took it with a big grin, and the major general patted the lieutenant general's shoulder and said: "Your kid is now a lieutenant general, I should give you a salute." But the lieutenant general said solemnly: "You are my old squad leader, I am your soldier, of course the soldier has to listen to the old squad leader." After seeing that scene, Wang Yizhe understood how important seniority was in the army.

Wang Yizhe walked around the office a few times and thought about it again before he said: "Let Chang Jing Wushang, now what we want is to capture Jinzhou as soon as possible, not to consider who has the oldest qualifications, and this is just a false position, which can be removed at any time." As for Huang Jianfeng, after this battle is over, I will allocate Hao Ming's Third Armored Division to his 42nd Group Army, and I believe he will not have an opinion. ”

Jiang Baili also nodded after hearing this, this is fine. One got real power, the other got benefits, and everyone was happy. Sure enough, when the order was conveyed to the Jinzhou front, the parties concerned had no objection to this order, and they all called to say that they would capture Jinzhou as soon as possible and restore the territory of China. "Outside the nickname, our Heilongjiang Group Army has surrounded Jinzhou and is about to launch a general offensive in the near future!"

"Outside the nickname, the outer defense line of Jinzhou has been conquered by the Heilongjiang Group Army, Jinzhou has become an isolated city, and General Wang Yizhe, commander of our Heilongjiang Group Army, advised Lieutenant General Ryosuke Isoya, commander of the Japanese garrison, to surrender as soon as possible, otherwise he will die without a place to be buried."

After recovering Liaoyuan, Wang Yizhe's troops were about to regain Jinzhou, an important town in Jilin, and the news spread that the whole country was excited, and more and more patriotic students and elites from all walks of life turned their attention to Heilongjiang, a force that has only emerged in recent years.

In a snack bar on the streets of Wuhan, six or seven young people who look like students are eating noodles in the store. A student was holding a copy of the Chahar Daily and reading aloud: "On March 7, the 27th year of the Republic of China, the officers and men of the 41st and 42nd groups of the Heilongjiang Military Region, under the command of General Chang Jingwu and General Huang Jianfeng, respectively, cleared out the Japanese army on the outskirts of Jinzhou and annihilated nearly 100,000 Japanese divisions and two Manchurian puppet army divisions. Our army is about to launch a general offensive in the near future, and General Wang Yizhe, commander of the Heilongjiang Group Army, issued a statement advising the defenders of Jinzhou to abandon their weapons and surrender as soon as possible........."

"General Wang is really good! Little Japan, you also have today! "That's it, let little Japan know how good we are!" After listening to the news in the newspaper, a group of students were happy to talk about it, but several of them also made different statements. A student with glasses snorted coldly: "This Wang Yizhe did not respect the orders of the central government, attacked Jinzhou without authorization, but turned a blind eye to the North China dispatch army that was close at hand, and let it swagger to attack our hinterland of China, but he ran to recover the Northeast to earn fame. ”

The student's words were supported by another student, "That is, it is ridiculous to hear that he has also founded a Ba'ath Party and talked about national freedom." What the Chinese people need now is not democracy and freedom, but the watering of iron and blood, and only iron and blood can save China. Even if I were invited to participate in such a partisan group, I would not have participated. ”

The brother's words were criticized by most of the students, "Phew, you people are so shameless. Why, the Nanjing government didn't scarce the three eastern provinces and gave them to the Japanese, and General Wang couldn't recover the northeast? How is it that the great hero who has contributed to the recovery of the land has become a bad person who does not respect Nanjing's orders and his heart is punishable when he comes to your mouth? ”

"And yes!" Another student also spoke, "If you are allowed to form the Congress Party, you are not allowed to form a Baath Party?" And is it wrong for people to talk about democracy and freedom? Don't tell me anything nonsense that only iron and blood can save Huaxia. Democracy and freedom are the ultimate goals that mankind seeks most, is it wrong for people to talk about democracy and freedom now? Hmph, the Tao is not the same, and I am leaving! ”

With that, the student got up and left his seat and walked away, leaving the rest of the group still looking at each other. In the middle of the ring, a student also got up and left his seat, and the classmate next to him hurriedly asked, "Brother Yushu, where are you going?" The student did not speak, and quietly walked out of the door of the store before turning around and replying: "I will go to Harbin to join the Renaissance Party ......."

Every era has its own distinctive characteristics, and this era is no different. In the thirties of the Republic of China, it was an era of great open-mindedness, many kinds of ideas collided with each other in China, and people's thinking was also very complicated. Different people have different perceptions, and eventually they will take different paths, and in the end they will have different outcomes and destinations........

Jinzhou Japanese Army Garrison Command "Bastard, I still have two divisions and 40,000 troops in hand, so they dare to call me to surrender?" Too much deception, too much deception! Ryosuke Isoya muttered to himself in his office.

Surrender? This word had never existed in Ryosuke Isoya's dictionary before, and in his eyes there were only jade broken imperial troops, and there were no generals who surrendered. But now he was very afraid to see these leaflets dropped by those Chinese planes, and he was afraid that reading too much would affect his fighting spirit and that of the soldiers in the city, so he ordered the gendarmerie to collect these leaflets every day, and issued a strict order, no matter who kept the leaflets..... Die! Looking at the soldiers outside the garrison headquarters who were busy reinforcing the fortress and fortifications, Ryosuke Isoya muttered to himself, "Let this Jinzhou become a place to witness my bravery.....
