On February 18, 1941, Qijiang County, the 68th Division was temporarily established.
"Come on, General Li, stop worrying about it and go to your victory reception." Seeing that Li Yunlong was about to have another attack, Ding Wei changed the subject. The government's counterattack has gradually come to an end. Compared with the previous After several years of losing their troops and losing ground, this major counterattack will definitely wipe out the decline. It is natural to hold a victory reception.
"It's so annoying. One cocktail party is enough to buy a 155mm howitzer!" Li Yunlong said angrily. In the mountain city, cocktail parties like this happen almost every day, with various departments and various reasons emerging one after another. At the moment when the highest authorities are scrimping on food and clothing. , it is indeed very inconsistent.
"The front is tight and the rear is tight. At least we really won the battle this time. I heard that the highest authorities have major decisions to announce this time." Kong Jie smiled and said that he also had experience. I have attended several such cocktail parties with our General Li, and even danced with a female reporter from the TASS News Agency. To be honest, I really don’t get used to it. Damn it, even a general mourning for a general who died on the front line can be held. reception, but by the end of the reception, most people still didn’t know which one was martyred for their country. It is said that General Li was “martyred for his country”.
"Isn't this a big bullshit decision just like the 'Japanese Peace Army'? What's so interesting about a bunch of Japanese traitors?" Li Yunlong curled his lips, obviously not interested in the government's newly released "Japanese Peace Army."
After capturing the Eleventh Army Commander Sonobe and Lieutenant General Ichiro, the military commander launched a "surrender" campaign for them. Director Dai, who thought it would not be easy, never expected that the crane transport plane had not yet landed at the Yamashiro Airport. Lieutenant General Sonobe and Ichiro expressed their willingness to cooperate, and even took the initiative to request an audience with the highest authorities. The concept of the "Japanese Peace Army" was also the result of several exchanges between Lieutenant General Sonobe and Ichiro and the highest authorities.
The government pieced together the "Japanese prisoners of war" in hand and recruited more than 10,000 people to help Sonobe and Ichiro form the First Army of the Japanese Peace Army, which had four divisions under its jurisdiction and launched the slogan of ending the war and saving Japan. .
For his own grand plan, Lieutenant General Sonobe and Ichiro not only proclaimed themselves "Field Marshal", they also recruited and surrendered and rebelled, appointed a bunch of generals and officers, and really pulled up this joke-like army. .
In order to express his determination and ensure the absolute loyalty of his subordinates, Lieutenant General Sonobe and Ichiro also designed a series of measures to submit certificates of names with their subordinates. That small job is definitely better than that of our hard-core traitors in China. Excellent, this is the main reason why Li Yunlong looks down on these guys.
"Old Li, you can't say that. In the long run, the establishment of the 'Japanese Peace Army' is of great political significance. It will have an effect on dismantling the will of the Japanese army and attacking the will of the Japanese people. To a certain extent, maybe It's more significant than the Anti-War Alliance." Ding Wei thought the government's move was very interesting.
"The Japs general and the Japs soldiers don't seem to be on the same page. The Japs recruits we captured on the battlefield, even if they were frightened to the point of crying, they surrendered without saying a word. Which one of them didn't remain reserved for a few days?" "Changing your mind, it would be better to be a general. Not only did you surrender and flatter me, but you also provided military secrets. It is said that even the loopholes in the defense line of the 33rd Division were provided by Lieutenant General Ichiro." Kong Jie was also amazed. In the final stage of the battle, The Ninth War Zone broke through the Japanese 33rd Division's defense line in one fell swoop and ate up the opponent's 10,000-strong force. If the Sixth Division hadn't desperately rescued them, the 33rd Division would have been completely wiped out.
"I finally became a general. I haven't enjoyed enough status, money, and beauties. How can I be willing to die? Now anyone who is not blind can see the changes in the Chinese battlefield. Sonobe and Ichiro are also gambling, and they can't win. If you can live well, if you win the bet, your fortune will skyrocket." Ding Wei smiled. Although Zhao Gang kept tight-lipped every time, Ding Wei could see many things. Why were the Japs so cooperative, even hiding something? I understand that pretending to be confused doesn't mean hedging his bets.
"Old Ding, what the hell are you doing to attack me? Even if I become a general, I won't enjoy it. As long as the superiors need it, we, Old Li, can be the first to charge at any time. Did you see that I still have the sword? "Li Yunlong pointed to the ghost-headed knife hanging on the wall and said, dare you imagine, some people still carry this thing with them when they visit abroad. When the Air Force Marshal was assassinated, he held the handle of the knife and wanted to and might rush up. The assassins fought hand to hand.
"Come on, Old Li, your Ghost Head Sword is not the same one as before. I heard that Brother Wang customized it for you. The material used is special steel. Not to mention the master who made it, it still uses a 10,000-ton hydraulic press. Formed at once, the price of this knife is worth the price of a cannon." Kong Jie said bitterly, he also used a broadsword, but the knife of Lao Kong and Lao Li broke all of a sudden. The one who made him sad, tears flowed from the corners of his mouth.
"Old Li, I heard that this time we are going to confer honors on a few Puppet Manchukuo and Goryeo officers anyway. Maybe these people will be put to great use in the future." Ding Wei added.
"It's just a head start. The Japanese's distrust of the puppet Manchu Army has reached its peak. There are no puppet troops with more than a thousand people in the four eastern provinces. Moreover, all puppet troops with strong combat effectiveness have been transferred into the pass to serve as Cannon fodder, otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many officers coming over recently. As for the Goryeo officers, Yoshio Shinozuka got too many." Li Yunlong said disdainfully that the government was not interested in regaining the four eastern provinces and The Koryo Province had no objections. In this case, he believed that it was unlikely to form an army similar to the "Japanese Peace Army". Wouldn't that make himself uncomfortable? Haven’t you seen that the funding from the government and the Korean government-in-exile has been low recently?
"The resistance movement in the four eastern provinces and Koryo Province has become more and more intense recently, and they have even begun to organize to harass the city. The Japanese garrison strength is stretched thin. In order to increase the distrust between the Japanese and the puppet army, maybe the government really has some An army similar to the 'Japanese Peace Army' may be formed." Ding Wei has a different view on this. We will talk about the future later. The realistic conditions are to fight against the Japanese. Judging from the actions of Yoshio Shinozuka and Kazuki Yamamoto, They have already regarded the Black Province and the Koryo Province as their main supply areas for soldiers. If this situation is not changed, the situation in the future will be even more troublesome.
"Hey, I don't want to worry about those people, so I took the time to get over." Seeing Zhao Xiuqin through the window, Li Yunlong hurriedly picked up his general uniform and ran out. Ding Wei and Kong Jie saw that The two looked at each other and smiled.
