When Xie Tian woke up, it was already three o'clock in the morning and it was almost time for lunch.
In fact, Xie Tian didn't sleep for long. In the early morning, he called Fu Zuoyi to learn about the fighting situation in Yangcun, Langfang, and mobilized Ge Dazhuang to lead the tank division north to support Fu Zuoyi's troops in the battle.
Yangcun has been recovered, but the battle in Langfang is more difficult. The Japanese troops stationed in Langfang adopted the most shameless tactics, abandoning the fortifications and strongholds outside the city, shrinking their troops into the city, and using civilian residences to fight against the People's Liberation Army in the city's offensive. This is tantamount to They kidnapped hundreds of thousands of people in Langfang City.
The Ping-Tianjin railway and highway have been completely cut off by Fu Zuoyi. Moreover, Tianjin has been liberated, and the Japanese army in Peiping no longer has the need to support the Tianjin operation.
It is impossible to retake it. The Japanese Sixth Division of Peiping is now unable to protect itself. Without foreign aid, it has no ability to take the initiative to send troops to retake a large city like Tianjin.
After Tianjin fell, the Sixth Division had realized that they would be the next target of attack by the People's Liberation Army, and had sent three consecutive telegrams to the army headquarters requesting support.
The commander of the Sixth Division, Shiro Sumita, temporarily went to Tianjin on behalf of the commander of the North China Army and died in Tianjin. Now the deputy commander of the Sixth Division, Lieutenant General Shigeru Kojima, temporarily replaced him.
Kojima Shigeru's most realistic idea now is actually to abandon the defense of Peiping, go north to join the Japanese army in Chengde, and retreat to the Mongolian grassland controlled by the puppet King of Mongolia.
This may be the only way for the Sixth Division to survive now.
Yan Xishan's troops in the north are also beginning to show their strength, and Zhangjiakou may not be able to defend it.
Now the best choice for the Japanese army is to shrink its troops and defend. In the Chinese battlefield, or to be precise, the North China battlefield has an invincible enemy like Xie Baoqing. The Japanese army has been defeated one after another and has been beaten physically and mentally.
What Kojima Shigeru desires most is for domestic peace talks with China to return the two sides to the status quo before 1937. We still control the Northeast region, and we no longer want the North China Plain.
As for Central China and South China, you can talk about it for yourself. Even if we abandon the Wang Puppet Government, it is not impossible. Now our national strength cannot support such a comprehensive war.
It's a pity that Kojima Shigeguan has a small position, so he can only think about his thoughts by himself, and he doesn't even have the courage to speak out.
The city hall where Xie Tian was staying was the former office of Mayor Wang. Xie Tian woke up and took a cold shower to clean himself up. He opened the door and walked out of the apartment in high spirits. When he went out, he saw the man sitting there. Pang Yuan, who was doing official business on a big leather chair, was stunned for a moment, and walked over happily: "Brother Pang Pang, you are here. When did you arrive? You didn't tell me in advance that I could pick you up at the airport."
Naturally, Pang Yuan was able to arrive so quickly because he came by transport plane. The railway lines and highways in North China were all blown up by the air force. It will take some time before they can be completely repaired and opened to traffic.
It feels great when it's fried, but it hurts when it's repaired.
However, if these transportation facilities are not bombed, the Japanese army will use them to quickly mobilize troops. There is no way.
Again, what is bombed belongs to the Japanese, and what is repaired belongs to us. As long as the foundation is still there, construction is always more time-consuming and labor-saving than building a new one.
When Pang Yuan saw Xie Tian coming out of the suite, he laughed and put down his pen, took out the two wads of paper stuffed in his ears, stood up and faced Xie Tian: "You snorer, you don't know, you think I'm killing pigs here. I really don’t know how Hao’er tolerates you.”
Xie Tian laughed and took Pang Yuan's hand: "If you can force Brother Pang to stuff his ears with paper balls, I now believe that I snore in my sleep."
People who snore in their sleep do not know that they snore, and will not admit it without evidence.
Pang Yuan pulled Xie Tian towards the sofa and said with a smile: "You have done a good job in closing the concession. I guess that old man Xipi from Chongqing should lift the table again."
Xie Tian laughed loudly: "Whatever, who asked him to put himself on such a high pedestal? If the Eight-Nation Allied Forces didn't look for him, who would they look for?"
Pang Yuan laughed and pulled Xie Tian to sit down, pointed at Xie Tian and said with a smile: "I found that you are the most cunning one. Just make money quietly, no matter how big the thunder is, there will still be someone to carry it for you."
Xie Tianyi smiled: "That's because he is willing to carry it. If he has the ability, he will not recognize my tenth war zone."
"The Tenth War Zone was appointed by him personally. Are you asking him to slap you in the face?"
The two laughed.
At this time, the office door was opened with someone's back. Xie Tian could only see that the person was holding a tray in his hand. His back looked familiar, but not very familiar. He couldn't remember who it was for a moment.
When the man turned around, Xie Tian saw clearly and said with a smile: "Brother Yi is here too."
The person who walked in was Chen Xiang. Chen Xiang was wondering that he didn't see Pang Yuan in the direction of his desk. He was about to turn around to look for him when he heard Xie Tian's voice and looked over and said with a smile: "Wake up, you are snoring. I really don’t know how Wen Zhi endured it, I couldn’t bear it and ran away quickly.”
Well, it seems that my snoring is really annoying.
Xie Tian stood up with a smile, took the food plate from Chen Xiang's hand, and said with a smile: "It seems I have to take some time to go to the hospital for a checkup."
Snoring is a disease and can be cured, but people today do not realize that snoring can be cured through medical means.
They all sat down on the sofa, and the three of them put the steamed buns and two dishes on the tray on the table. Pang Yuan looked at Xie Tian and said with a smile: "Baoqing, let me introduce you formally. Yizhi's current official position is Shanxi-Hebei As the deputy director of the camp, the commander-in-chief of the North China Security Army and the mayor of Tianjin, Tianjin has nothing to worry about."
Xie Tian laughed and handed over his hands: "Congratulations to my righteous brother on your promotion and fortune."
"Fuck you." Chen Xiang said unceremoniously to Xie Tian.
After Chen Xiang joined Xie Tian's camp, his official position rose steadily, but it was impossible to get rich.
Not only did they not make a fortune, they also lost Xiangmanyuan and built two mines into state-owned mines.
Now Shen Xiang and Pang Yuan are the same as Xie Tian. They have high official positions but are poor. They are really serving the people.
The appointment of officials in the Shanxi-Hebei camp and the 10th war zone no longer follows the procedures of the Chongqing government. To put it bluntly, there is no need to follow the situation. Now they are autonomous governments under the name of the Chongqing government. They are no different from Chongqing. The relationship between us is a win-win relationship.
If we unite, we both benefit, if we divide, hehe, even if they are separated, the one who gets injured will definitely not be the Tenth War Zone.
Now Chongqing is rushing to chase the war dividends brought by the tenth theater.
If you want to flip the table, fine, whatever.
In name, Pang Yuan is the chief director of the Shanxi-Hebei Travel Camp, and there are three deputy directors.
Xie Tian is the first deputy director and concurrently the commander-in-chief of the 10th theater.
Ren Haisu is the second deputy director and concurrently serves as the ZX of Shanxi Province.
Now Shen Xiang is the third deputy director and concurrently serves as the mayor of Tianjin.
Putting aside Chen Xiang's personal abilities, his Hongmentong generation's appeal is enough to command the world.
Moreover, with Pang Yuan's insight into people, it was natural that Chen Xiang's ability to govern was not a problem.
As for who is the real boss in the Shanxi-Hebei camp, there is no need to judge this based on official position, everyone knows it in their mind.
Otherwise, why would Pang Yuan call Xie Tiancai the most cunning one? He just makes money in silence, no matter how big the thunder is, there are still people to shoulder it for him.
No matter how much trouble this kid caused, there was Chiang Kai-shek from Chongqing and Pang Yuan above him. No matter how big the thunder was, it would not be able to hit him on the head, unless the two above him couldn't bear it anymore.
