Chapter 299 "Song-Shi Agreement"

At the beginning, the highest authorities really wanted to recover Wuhan through military means, but the losses caused to the government by the first battle in eastern Sichuan were beyond imagination, and the losses of troops, materials, weapons and ammunition were still secondary, and the biggest trouble was the unlimited bacteriological warfare carried out by the Japanese army in order to delay the reinforcement of the mountain city by the national army, and the entire southwest broke out thousands of plagues, in addition to the plague, there were cholera, typhoid, diphtheria, red diarrhea and anthrax, and the harm of the epidemic over time has appeared, but it is only incomplete statistics, More than half a million people have been infected.

According to the understanding of the government officials by the highest authorities, the actual number of infected people is likely to be more than one million, and if he does not deal with it quickly, he is afraid that the rear will be completely paralyzed, so he hopes that his basic situation will not collapse rather than completely defeat the Japanese on the battlefield.

Wang Yue's side of all kinds of special drugs and epidemic prevention equipment is almost unlimited supply, and do not need cash, as long as the highest authority and the northern Shaanxi jointly signed IOU, not even the repayment period and interest have not made any agreement, Wang Yue has already thought about it, even if the government repays the loan in the future, he will have to make up for it to the people in other ways, after all, in a strict sense, if he did not enter the time and space of the bright sword, the people of the southwest would not have suffered this.

After Lieutenant General Ishihara Wan'er's request for talks was transmitted to Shancheng, the supreme authorities agreed to the other party's request after much deliberation, and while demanding that Li Yunlong's new First Army and the Nationalist troops heading south from the Dabie Mountains fight steadily and steadily, they also asked the Second Guo's uncle to personally fly to Wuhan and Ishihara Wan'er to hold substantive consultations on the current war situation in Hubei Province and the way out of the 11 th Army.

Three days later, on April 7, 1941, Uncle Nikuni and Lieutenant General Ishihara reached a secret treaty known as the Song-Shi Agreement, which stipulated:

1. Huaxia promised to allow the Japanese side to evacuate the main force, overseas Chinese and materials of the Japanese puppet army in Wuhan from April 7, 1941 to May 7, 1941, during which the Huaxia Air Force would no longer bomb the Japanese ships in the city of Wuhan and on the Yangtze River.

2. The Japanese side undertakes to ensure that the property, materials and facilities that cannot be removed are in good condition and that there will be no damage to urban infrastructure and industrial equipment.

3. Huaxia promised that the Japanese prisoners and wounded of the 6th and 13th Divisions would be treated well, and at the same time, the Jingguan built by Bai Chang of the 6th Theater would be destroyed, and the dead and captured soldiers of the 6th and 13th Divisions would be properly buried.

4. The Japanese side promised to withdraw all the Japanese puppet army units in northern Hubei to Wuhan, and the troops would travel lightly, not carrying too much goods and materials, and at the same time not destroying road infrastructure.

5. Huaxia promised that the troops of the Ninth Theater would defend on the spot and would not continue to advance to Jiujiang, and that the Japanese puppet army units still resisting in the hinterland of the Ninth Theater would be allowed to return to Jiujiang, and that they would be allowed to carry the most basic self-defense weapons and provide a small amount of dry food.

6. The Japanese side promised to hand over to the Yamashiro government all anti-Japanese elements and prisoners of war in the prison in the area controlled by the 11th Army, and to secretly hand over the personnel "over there" to the Yamashiro government.

7. Huaxia promised to withdraw from the city of Nanchang and hand over the city to the Japanese army that had invaded the left side of Nanchang again, but the Japanese side must not prevent us from evacuating the people and seized materials in an orderly manner, and the time limit was also one month, and we would not destroy the materials and facilities that could not be evacuated.

8. The Japanese side pledged to provide sufficient amounts of antiviral serum and other therapeutic drugs to the Yamashiro government to assist the Yamashiro government in controlling the bacteriological weapons released by the far-right Japanese officers and soldiers.

9. Huaxia promised that during the period when the 11th Army withdrew from Hubei Province, as long as the Japanese side did not bomb our big cities, it would not take the initiative to bomb the Japanese mainland.

10. The Japanese side promised to protect the safety of the families and property of the officers and men of the Imperial Association who had been detained, and to hand over to the Chinese intelligence agencies the families of the high-ranking officers of the Imperial Association who had been detained.

11. Huaxia promised that during the withdrawal of the 11th Army of the Japanese Huaxia Dispatch Army from Wuhan, the rewards for retired officers and soldiers of the 6th and 13th Divisions would no longer be executed, and the Huaxia secret service would no longer participate in and assist in the pursuit and killing operation, so as not to cause social unrest and panic. In return, the Japanese side will "lose" the documents and materials recording the relevant contents when evacuating Wuhan.

12. The Japanese side promised that Lieutenant General Ishihara Wanji, commander of the 11th Army of the Japanese Huaxia Dispatch Army, promised that during his time in charge of the 11th Army, the 11th Army would never take the lead in using biological and chemical weapons to attack the Yamashiro government army.

13. Huaxia promised to offer humanitarian condolences to the families of the soldiers of the non-6th Division and the 13th Division who died in the Battle of Wushan, and tentatively set a military ticket of 10,000 per person.

14. The Japanese side promised that during the withdrawal of the 11th Army from Wuhan, the Japanese Navy would no longer take the initiative to attack military and civilian targets in China and the area west of Hubei Province.

15. Hu Xia promised to allow the remnants of the Japanese fleet besieged in the Little Three Gorges area to return to Wuhan and would provide the necessary assistance.

16. The two sides agreed that after the New First Army reached the outskirts of Wuhan, it would engage in an "urban offensive and defensive battle" with the 16th Division, and that the two sides would send observers to each other, and it was agreed that no more than 100 shells and 1,000 rounds of ammunition would be consumed per day.

On the surface, the "Agreement" seems to have taken a big advantage from the Japanese, but in fact it is the government that has obtained a complete military force and northern Hubei, and the people of Hubei Province have also avoided innocent injuries, and at the same time, the medicine provided by the Japanese side can also stabilize the situation in the rear more quickly and alleviate the suffering of the people, and the national army has been fighting for several months, and it is also in urgent need of repairs, just like the avant-garde armored division of the Ninth Theater, the equipment rate cannot even reach 30%, and the ammunition and fuel are also bottoming out, and it is still at the end of the strong crossbow, even if the "Agreement" is not reached, it will be difficult to advance all the way to Jiujiang City.

However, there is still one link missing from this, that is, Li Yunlong, Li Yunlong will naturally strictly implement the "agreement" between the two sides, but he will still try his best to find some small loopholes, which will make Ishihara Waner and the 16th Division uncomfortable.

Just like the fourth article of the agreement, the Japanese army will not carry too much goods and materials when it retreats, and Li Yunlong will implement this to the letter, didn't you mention weapons and equipment? That's good, let's disarm all the Japanese puppet army troops, as for too much money and materials, there is no standard, right, then all of them will be requisitioned, and then one person will be sent to the road with a bag of aged grain rice balls and a water hyacinth, what? Personal finances? We respect this very much, whether it is the Japanese government suitable for the property of the people will be guaranteed, the 11th Army will be paid with military tickets at a premium of 100% on the basis of the valuation, which is reasonable and legal, if you have any opinions, you go to the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of War, and the issuing agency, anyway, you said, this is legal currency.
