Chapter 608: The Brigade Commander Puts Extreme Pressure on the Japs

Nishishou Ozo was struggling with a question: whether to negotiate with the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi first, or to retake Shijiazhuang which was occupied by the Eighth Route Army first.

I thought about this problem for a whole day, but in the end there was no result.

Finally, fortunately, the Special High Section of the Locust Army gave Nishishou Ozo the answer, because the agents of the Special High Section reported that the Eighth Route Army that occupied Shijiazhuang had already evacuated Shijiazhuang, and Shijiazhuang, an important railway hub, had become an ownerless city at this time.

When Nishisuizo received the news, he was overjoyed. The two problems he had been struggling with were no longer a problem.

Since you, the Eighth Route Army, have voluntarily given up the city of Shijiazhuang, you cannot use Shijiazhuang as a threat to the Locust Army to ask for more bargaining chips during the negotiations.

However, Nishishou Ozo forgot a very important principle in the negotiations between the two countries, that is, what is not obtained on the battlefield cannot be obtained at the negotiating table.

Nishi Shouweizo carefully calculated the locust army forces stationed in Hebei. There were the 27th Division stationed in Tangshan, the Iinuma Division (numbered 110th Division) previously stationed in Shijiazhuang, the 108th Division stationed near Handan and Xingtai, and the three independent mixed brigades of the 3rd, 8th and 10th. In addition to the 12th Division recruited from the Kwantung Army and currently stationed in Peiping, excluding the puppet government troops, there were nearly 9 locust troops that could be mobilized.

However, it was a bit difficult for it to decide which troops to use to occupy the city of Shijiazhuang that had been abandoned by the Eighth Route Army.

The defense of Hebei was already very weak at this time. If a large number of personnel were to be dispatched to reoccupy Shijiazhuang, the Japanese rear would probably face great challenges and pressure.

After much deliberation, Nishijuozo decided to send the Iinuma Division that had just withdrawn. Oh, now it can no longer be called the Iinuma Division, because their division commander Iinuma Mamoru has been sent to a military court by Nishijuozo. Even if he doesn't die, this guy must be skinned alive.

"Pass on my order. Use the 110th Division as the main force to reoccupy Shijiazhuang, and order the 8th Mixed Brigade in the Xingtai area to provide support."

Nishishou Ozo finally made a decision and ordered the former Iinuma Division, which was familiar with the situation in Shijiazhuang, to continue to garrison. In order to prevent them from being frightened by the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi and fleeing, the 8th Mixed Brigade was specially arranged as a support. It was said to be a support, but in fact it was a military supervisor.

Thinking of this, Nishishou Ozo found it somewhat ridiculous. When facing the Chinese army on the battlefield in China, he actually had to consider the possibility that his own troops would desert the battlefield, and specially arranged a group of military supervisors.

"Also, arrange for the Kwantung Army's 12th Division to secretly move south as a reserve force for the follow-up! Their march must be kept secret. If anyone dares to leak it, they will be subject to military law!"

Nishijuozo said in a cold voice that the tragic situation of the 1st Division of the Kwantung Army must not be repeated this time. Before, it was because Hata Shunroku was lucky that he died on the battlefield. If it was alive, it would definitely commit seppuku to thank the locusts.

It would take some time for Tada Shun to arrive from his homeland, so Nishishou Ozo began to prepare some materials that might be used, including but not limited to plundering all the gold and silver reserves and various valuable collaterals in the pseudo-government bank.

Whenever a defeat occurs, the dog will always be the first to be slaughtered and eaten. All officials of the North China puppet government were terrified by this and dared not say a word. Everyone was in turmoil.

Over the next two days, the Jin and Ji regions, which had been turbulent, became surprisingly peaceful. There was not even any small-scale friction. This was an extremely abnormal signal.

An official letter from the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi was delivered to Nishi Shouwei Zao's desk: "To Mr. Nishi Shouwei Zao, since your unit failed to implement the results of the previous negotiations, our unit will hold a public trial in Taiyuan in two days.

Publicly try Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko and his subordinates for the heinous crimes they committed in Nanjing, to comfort the Chinese civilians and soldiers who died in the tragedy. "

When Nishishou Ozo saw the official document from the Eighth Route Army sent to him through an urgent internal telegram, he almost vomited blood. If the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi really held this public trial, it would be tantamount to rubbing the faces of the imperial locusts on the ground, and killing his entire family would be the least of his worries.

"Go, tell the cabinet to tell Tada Shun not to transfer via Peking, but to go directly to Taiyuan and greet the Eighth Route Army. We will send a military plane without bombs to deliver it directly."

Nishishou Ozo became a little anxious and ordered people to send Tada Shun directly to Taiyuan.

"Shu Kang, can you do this?" the division commander said with a frown. He was holding the original copy of the document left by the brigade commander in his hand, and his brows were so furrowed that they could almost pinch a mosquito to death.

"Put extreme pressure on the devils. Anyway, we'll just have to give it a try."

The brigade commander said nonchalantly that he had rushed back from Ping'an County, exhausted, and before he had time to eat a bite of food he was called by the commander and the division commander to be in charge of the negotiations with the Japanese.

"You kid... why are you acting like this?"

The division commander stared at the brigade commander and could no longer find the right words to describe this reckless guy. He could still maintain a steady image in front of his subordinates, but he was a joke in front of his superiors.

"No, Shu Kang, if the Japanese don't respond, are you really going to bring Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko out for public trial? Are you really going to shoot him?

If you do this, the situation will probably get out of control."

The commander said with a frown, obviously he had realized the consequences of the brigade commander's actions.

The brigade commander held a steamed bread in his hand and said while chewing it, "Hehe, now we are at the poker table with the Japanese Nishishou Oizao, and I don't believe this guy can hold his temper.

I'm betting that this guy will give in. I estimate that the Japanese negotiators will be here tomorrow at the latest."

My goodness, the brigade commander was really cruel to himself. He put himself and Nishishou Oizao on the fire at the same time, betting that the other party would not dare to deny it.

The commander looked at the brigade commander's carefree look and said angrily, "How come you have become a gambler now? If this little devil doesn't come, I wonder how you will clean up this mess."

"No need to clean up. Since the Japs dare to act like scoundrels and refuse to come, then we will act like scoundrels too. Isn't it enough to cancel this public trial? Don't worry, my commander, my division commander. At least in Jin, we have an absolute advantage over the Japs now. Even if we act like scoundrels, what can they do to us?

Now we are notifying these little devils based on our strength and status, and we will not give them any room for negotiation.

Now, the advantage is mine!"

The brigade commander swallowed the remaining half of the steamed bread in one gulp, as if he had devoured the Japanese.
