Chapter 629 Old Man: Zhou Weihan is indeed the Qiancheng of the country
Kaifeng, the headquarters of the 35th Division of the Japanese Army.
"The division commander, Nishimura Takehiko, the head of the Imperial Army's secret service stationed in Shangqiu, sent a telegram stating that the personnel sent for investigation have returned. According to reports, the main force of the 4th Cavalry Brigade and the exact location of the battlefield where the Pacification Army and the Eighth Route Army fought are in Heze
Qinglongji, on the border with Dingtao!"
"According to the traces on the battlefield, the Eighth Route Army used large-scale artillery. In addition to a large number of corpses of Imperial Army and Appeasement Army soldiers, there were also many dismembered corpses of war horses and eight dismantled tanks.
!" Adjutant Hui reported.
Harada Xiongyoshi's face darkened when he heard this. Although he had been prepared for it, he was still shocked when he heard the adjutant's report.
"Do you know the whereabouts of Kojima Yoshizo?"
"No, under the concentrated artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army, General Kojima might..."
"However, Sun Liangcheng, commander of the Fourth Army of the Pacification Army, and the main force of the 38th Division under his command had a lucky escape. The unit is now staying in Cao County. Chief Nishimura Takehiko is preparing to recall them and investigate them!"
The adjutant hesitated to speak. Why didn't Harada Kumayoshi understand that this combat operation that he and Kojima Yoshizo secretly concealed from the North China Expeditionary Force Headquarters was ultimately in vain. Kojima Yoshizo died without a complete body, and he also
There are attendant responsibilities.
"Bagaya Road, this idiot Kojima Yoshizo, he personally led the warriors of the 4th Cavalry Brigade into hell. He is a shame to the empire!" Harada Kumakichi could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.
"All the main forces of the imperial army were in pieces. Only the 38th Division of the Pacification Army escaped. Sun Liangcheng must be responsible for this. Inform Masahiro Araki and Takehiko Nishimura to investigate this matter and get to the bottom of it!"
"Hi!" The adjutant nodded and responded: "Your Excellency, division commander, there is one more thing. According to the report from the imperial army in Kaocheng, this morning, the Eighth Route Army troops that originally stayed in Kaocheng area have withdrawn northward, and their movements are unknown. The troops in Kaocheng
The garrison asked if necessary measures were taken!"
"No, please continue to inform us that all the garrison troops in the division's area will reduce their strength and are not allowed to take the initiative to fight with the Eighth Route Army!"
"Hi!"
The words are divided into two parts.
After the 38th Division of the Appeasement Army decisively left the battlefield, one unit was left behind to resist the pursuit of the Southwest Shandong Cavalry Regiment. The remaining main force of more than 4,000 troops evacuated hastily to Caoxian County.
"Military seat, urgent call from Shangqiu!"
Sun Liangcheng received the telegram and after reading the contents of the telegram, his face became uncertain.
"Military seat, what did the Japanese say on the telegram?" Zhao Yunxiang asked.
"Nishimura Takehiko asked you and I to arrive at Shangqiu before tonight. The Thirty-Eighth Division will be stationed in Dingtao, Caoxian, and Chengwu respectively to cooperate with the Japanese army to maintain local security and prevent the Eighth Route Army from continuing to expand!"
"What? Just the two of us?" Zhao Yunxiang exclaimed and immediately realized something was wrong: "Military seat, will the Japanese attack us?"
Sun Liangcheng also realized that something was wrong. The outcome of this battle was beyond his expectation. Originally, he thought that the Japanese plus more than 10,000 appeasement troops would be able to draw a tie with the Eighth Route Army, or they would be able to retain their main force.
Who would have thought...
Sun Liangcheng did not immediately respond to Zhao Yunxiang's inquiry. He was currently away with his troops, but the family records of the officers of the Pacification Army were all in Japanese hands.
"Damn it, Zhou Weihan is so ruthless. If you cooperate with him in the future, you must be more careful, otherwise you will die without knowing it!" Sun Liangcheng suddenly cursed.
"Ruiqing, now is not the time to break up with the Japanese. Besides, my brothers' whole family is in the hands of the Japanese, so they may not be willing to fight with us anyway!"
"However, you and I can't go back together. One person from the Thirty-Eighth Division needs to stay in charge of the overall situation, otherwise we will really fall into the tiger's mouth!"
"In this way, Ruiqing, you stay in control of the troops. As long as there are soldiers in hand, the Japanese will not dare to do anything to me! At the same time, secretly send someone to inform Gao Shuxun and keep in touch with the New Eighth Army at any time. Once the situation changes, then simply
That’s fucking contrary!” Sun Liangcheng said one after another.
"Yes, military commander, don't worry, as long as I am here, the 38th Division will definitely be here!" Zhao Yunxiang responded in a deep voice.
Seeing the determined expression on Zhao Yunxiang's face, Sun Liangcheng's anxious heart relaxed slightly.
During the anti-recalcitrant campaign in Hebei, Shandong and Henan, Sun Liangcheng's recalcitrant troops were defeated by the Eighth Route Army. Zhao Yunxiang and other confidants who were captured by the Eighth Route Army were finally delivered to the hands of the New Eighth Route Army.
Sun Liangcheng knew that if he returned to the mountain city, he would inevitably die, so he openly surrendered to the enemy in Kaifeng.
What's funny is that just when Sun Liangcheng was preparing to build the Fourth Army of the Appeasement Army with the help of the Japanese, Zhao Yunxiang and other confidants came to join him and brought the old man's secret handwriting.
In the edict, the old man did not scold Sun Liangcheng too much. Instead, he had many comforting words for Sun Liangcheng. Finally, he instructed Sun Liangcheng to accumulate strength within the Japanese army in order to follow up and implement a curved path to save the country.
It's just that this is just a secret telegram sent from the old man's attendant's office. It has not passed through the National Government and does not have much credibility.
Of course Sun Liangcheng, a lowly person, understood the rules here and agreed openly, but he was also worried in his heart that the old man would come to settle the accounts and kill the donkey.
That afternoon, the official residence in the mountain city of Huangshan.
Dai Chunfeng, director of the Military Command Bureau, hurried to the old man's residence. After being passed by the attendants, Dai Chunfeng successfully met the old man.
Dai Chunfeng pushed the door open and saw Qian Dajun there. He immediately thought to himself, had the opportunity to show his face been taken away again?
"Principal, our intelligence personnel in southwestern Shandong reported that the Eighth Route Army launched a large-scale battle with the Japanese army in southwestern Shandong from yesterday afternoon to evening. This morning it was confirmed that Heze County has been occupied by the Eighth Route Army, and the Japanese Cavalry Fourth Brigade and the First
The Pacification Army was annihilated by the Eighth Route Army!" Dai Chunfeng hurriedly reported.
"Yunong, Mu Yin has already reported this matter!" The old man was not surprised after hearing this, and he did not mean to blame him.
When Dai Chunfeng heard this, he felt secretly resentful in his heart. It was extremely difficult to know that the battle started yesterday, and today the intelligence personnel of the military commander could find out the numbers of the two warring parties and the results of the battle.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Haha, Dai Bureau, your information is a bit delayed, and the content is a bit unclear!" Qian Dajun took the telegram in Dai Chunfeng's hand and read it.
.
"According to reliable information, this battle was personally directed by Zhou Weihan..."
"This!" Dai Chunfeng was about to retort, but when he saw Qian Dajun's confident expression, he suddenly realized that he must have an intelligence line that he didn't know about.
Dai Chunfeng detailed the remaining forces of the Nationalist Government in Southwest Shandong. In addition to military commanders, there were also personnel from the Southwest Shandong Administration in name only, and the New Eighth Army. As for the Central Reunion, Dai Chunfeng did not consider it.
Thinking of this, Dai Chunfeng understood in his heart that it was most likely that Gao Shuxun and Sun Liangcheng were still in contact, and then his heart shuddered. The old man knew about this line, and Qian Dajun also knew about it, but they did not inform him. In all likelihood, they did not inform him.
Nine is the old man’s strategy of checks and balances.
Dai Chunfeng's thoughts suddenly became clear, and he no longer wanted to compete with Qian Dajun for the limelight. Instead, he said: "Director Qian is really awesome, putting all our colleagues in the army to shame!"
"Okay!" The old man smashed the walking stick in his hand to stop the two men from fighting openly and secretly.
"Sure enough, I read it right. Zhou Weihan is indeed the emperor of the country. Duke Zhuo Yuan raised a good son, but it is a pity that he works for the Eighth Route Army!" the old man said with regret.
Qian Dajun and Dai Chunfeng still haven't figured out why the old man valued Zhou Weihan so much.
Qian Dajun and Dai Chunfeng looked at each other and saw the doubts in each other's eyes. They had discussed it in private.
Although the Zhou family is deeply entrenched within the National Government and has deep connections, there are many elders of the National Government and even the Tongmenghui who are betting on both ends like the Zhou family.
Zhou Weihan's background alone is not enough to make the old man feel sorry for him again and again. Moreover, Huangpu Military Academy is full of talents. Although his record is not as good as Zhou Weihan's, he is still a disciple of the Emperor.
I saw Dai Chunfeng saying: "Principal, I have not masked Zhou Weihan, but Zhou Weihan's living conditions have been good since he was a child, and the conditions in the Eighth Route Army are extremely difficult, even for the top brass. It is expected that he will become famous at a young age, but he will not get
You must be dissatisfied with the treatment you deserve, and this is one!"
"Besides, the Eighth Route Army is not monolithic. From within the Eighth Route Army, Zhou Weihan is also a high-ranking official with a large number of troops. Although he is highly regarded by the senior officials of the Eighth Route Army, he is famous for his popularity. This is the second reason!"
"In my opinion, it is better to actively create some conflicts within it and take the opportunity to guide it. Add money and beauty, who can refuse? Maybe it can have unexpected effects!"
"The troops under Zhou Weihan's command have a deep foundation, and they respond to every call. Once Zhou Weihan surrenders to the principal, there will be a large number of people who will follow him. By then, our army will open up the situation in Tainan, Hebei, Shandong and Henan!"
Dai Chunfeng used himself to save others, and he felt more and more that this move was very feasible, and he suppressed the excitement in his heart.
When Qian Dajun heard this, he showed a shameless look on his face, thinking that the military commander was really used to doing the deeds of underhanded people.
The old man wanted to win Zhou Weihan's heart and was extremely eager. In addition, Dai Chunfenghua's cake was really delicious, so he immediately agreed.
Even if the consequences of Zhou Wei and Han's rebellion really came to the side of the national army and the matter was exposed, they could still shirk the responsibility back to the military commander and make his own decisions.
"Yunong, you have full authority to supervise this matter. As long as it is successful, I will definitely reward you!"
"Yes, student understands!" Dai Chunfeng responded hurriedly. He didn't notice the reward, but what he wanted was for Jane to be in the emperor's heart.
The screen changes.
"Commissioner, the political commissar called. Personnel from Taiyue, Taibei, and Tainan military regions have set off from Tainan. Tomorrow, the political commissar Tan will arrive in Heze in person with personnel supported by each military region!" the telegraph operator reported.
"Okay, I understand!" Zhou Weihan nodded in response.
At this time, the troops had rested and reorganized during the day, and each unit had set off separately.
Zhou Weihan issued several orders. Wu Qin's three regiments located in the Dongming area were responsible for occupying the entire Dongming area and at the same time expanding their base areas towards the southern part of the Liangpu area.
The main force of the New Third Brigade carried an artillery battery to the west towards Juye, while the independent regiment and cavalry regiment of the Southwest Shandong Army Division carried an artillery battery to the north to Zhencheng.
The New Regiment, the First Regiment and other main forces accompanying the headquarters are fully expanding their base areas in the Heze area.
Heze is located in the southwest of Shandong Province, bordering Jiangsu, Henan, and Anhui provinces. With Heze as the center, there are Zhencheng in the north, Juye and Yuncheng in the east, Dingtao, Caoxian, and Chengwu counties in the south, and the three counties of Chengwu in the west.
Dongming had a total of eight counties with an area of 8,000 square kilometers and a population of 6 million.
In the Heze area alone, there are three large towns in Pingshun, with more than 30 towns and villages below. The small number of troops is really stretched.
The plan for now is to first send troops there to frighten a bunch of young people, and then slowly take action.
A compound in Heze County.
A group of respectable squires gathered together in Heze City. The sudden battle yesterday made the people in the city panic. However, what surprised those present was that the troops attacking the city from outside actually occupied Heze County that night.
All the wealthy squire households in the city were unaware of the situation and closed their doors one after another, fearing that they would suffer a military disaster.
After dawn, after understanding the situation in the city, I learned that it was the troops of the Eighth Route Army who had recaptured the river. A group of ordinary people were eating pots of pulp to express their welcome to the troops of the Eighth Route Army.

Some wealthy squires also showed goodwill. After all, it was the first time since Heze was occupied by the Japs that it returned to the hands of the Chinese. More squires also remained silent and watched.
Unexpectedly, after noon today, the main force of the Eighth Route Army was actually withdrawn. This move really left the squires in the city scratching their heads.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! There are people who shake their heads and sigh, there are people who secretly rejoice, and there are not a few who have evil intentions.
"Everyone, although the Eighth Route Army has temporarily recovered Heze, the Japanese will come back sooner or later. The Eighth Route Army can only dig into the mountains and ravines. How can it be the opponent of the Japanese!"
"Hey, as soon as the Imperial Army arrives, those who rush to join the Eighth Route Army today will inevitably end up in trouble!" The speaker had a rat-headed head and rat-like eyes, and he was even more gloating in his words.
"But under the Japanese, we are always on guard, fearing that one day the whole family will suffer disaster. Now that the Eighth Route Army has left, in my opinion, it is better to invite the Nationalist Army over. The Nationalist Government is orthodox, although it also has many problems with its rulers.
Expropriation, but at least the whole family can be saved, and the family fortune we have accumulated will be safe, right?" Another person suggested.
In Heze City, some people who openly worked for the Japanese and were considered traitors had been dealt with by the Eighth Route Army. Some of the people present were people who secretly turned to the Japanese, while others were people who tolerated humiliation on weekdays and secretly turned to the National Army.
There was a lot of discussion, and instead of reaching a unified opinion, there were disputes.
The withdrawal of the New Third Brigade and the Independent Regiment was ordered by Zhou Weihan. In addition to quickly occupying Zhencheng and Juye, this move also wanted to show its weakness to the outside world.
The wealthy squires in the city are all people with deep roots in the local area. Taking advantage of this gap, Zhou Weihan wanted to see who would jump out.
In this way, we can naturally clean up some people, treat those who support the Eighth Route Army kindly, win over those who remain silent or support the national army, and severely punish those who fall in love with the little devils.
Even after the crackdown, there are still people with dissident intentions, but in the face of the panic and general situation, there is nothing to worry about.
