Bright Sword: An eight-year-old boy led a group to fight the Japanese invaders
Chapter 157 The Army Wants to Change DefenseThe Japanese army and navy are two major groups. They always want to rob. In this way, they robbed the air force.
Until now, they only have Army Aviation and Naval Aviation, which are directly under the jurisdiction of the Army and Navy.
The plan to move north that the Japanese had been planning for the past two years has failed. The only option left is to move south, which is beneficial to naval aircraft.
If the Japanese have any new weapons or ammunition in the country, they will give priority to the navy.
The army had a lot of opinions, but they were useless.
Okamura knew that it would be very difficult to get aircraft reinforcements from the country now, and it was even more impossible since the target was a brigade under the Eighth Route Army.
"Contact the hidden intelligence personnel immediately and make sure to find out where the aircraft squadron is." Okamura was anxious.
"Hey!"
……
At 35 p.m., Wu Fenglin met with the th Army negotiation delegation at the Mengbao Command Headquarters.
"Chief of Staff Zheng, welcome. Did you enjoy your lunch?"
Wu Fenglin's tone of voice, like a host entertaining a guest, made Zheng Jin feel uncomfortable.
No matter how you look at it, this Mongolian bag belongs to the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, or more precisely, the 35th Army. Not only has it been occupied by the Eighth Route Army, but they are also acting like the masters of the house. Isn't this causing trouble for them?
"Chief of Staff Wu, why isn't your brigade commander Wang Ye here? I'm here to talk to him!"
Zheng Jin thought that he, as the chief of staff of an army, had condescended to come to Mengbao to negotiate.
Even if the Eighth Route Army cannot arrange someone of the same rank to come to the talks, at least the commander of the independent brigade should be there.
Now he only saw the chief of staff of the independent brigade. This was an insult to him. He did not look down on others in such a way.
Wu Fenglin laughed, "Chief of Staff Zheng, please forgive me. The independent brigade is facing a heavy combat mission right now, and our brigade commander must deal with the enemy's attack on the front line."
"Attack?" Zheng Jin was puzzled. "You have driven the Mongolian cavalry group and the pseudo-Mongolian cavalry first army to Yanggu. What kind of battle can you still have?"
The independent brigade launched a large-scale siege on Suicheng. Zheng Jin, the 35th Army, and Yan Laoxi all knew about this information.
However, they believed that this was a disguise made by the independent brigade in order to capture the Mongol guerrillas. After all, Suicheng was the base of the 26th Division of the Japanese.
There are countless defensive fortifications around the city, and the main force of the 26th Division is rushing back. Now that Mengbao has been taken, there is no reason for the independent brigade not to retreat.
Wu Fenglin stared at Zheng Jin, not quite understanding what there was to ask. The independent brigade was now besieging Suicheng, and most people in the country knew about it.
"Our brigade political commissar is fighting in Suicheng, and as the brigade commander, of course he is also there. The Japanese 108th Division is attacking Yuxian, where the independent brigade is stationed.
The brigade leaders are stepping up their research on defense strategies. If Chief of Staff Zheng feels that we are being slow, you can stay in the bunker first and talk to us after the battle is over."
Zheng Jin was speechless. How could he afford to wait? What if the independent brigade failed to stop the Japanese attack and the blanket was taken back by the Japanese?
If they can negotiate with the Eighth Route Army, can they also negotiate with the Japanese?
"Chief of Staff Wu, since your brigade's top brass is so busy, I think it's the same to talk to you.
Your brigade was able to defeat the Japanese cavalry group stationed in Mengbao and the puppet Mongolian cavalry first army, which really greatly enhanced the prestige of our army.
Commander Fu of the 35th Army asked me to congratulate you on his behalf! "
Wu Fenglin smiled and said, "Thank you, Commander Fu, I will tell Brigade Commander Wang!
Thank you for bothering Chief of Staff Zheng to come all the way here to congratulate us. We have already received it.
If my independent brigade was not still fighting, I would really like to ask Chief of Staff Zheng to stay in Mengbao for a few more days, so that I can show my hospitality. I hope Chief of Staff Zheng will tolerate this!"
Zheng Jin was stunned when he heard this. The negotiations hadn't even started yet and the other party was already preparing to chase him away. This was really not playing by the rules.
He quickly explained, "Chief of Staff Wu, the main purpose of my coming here this time is to ask, your unit has already taken down the Mengbao, when do you plan to evacuate?
You also know that our 35th Army is stationed in Sui Province, and Mengbao has always been guarded by our 35th Army.
Now that the devils have left, we must return and continue to garrison here!"
No matter what happened in the past, Wu Fenglin knew that the Independent Brigade took the blankets from the devils not to give them to the 35th Army.
"Chief of Staff Zheng, you know, I am only the chief of staff of a brigade. It is important for the brigade commander to make the decision.
How about you stay in the bunk bed first, and I'll contact the brigade first?"
Zheng Jin's face looked grim. He was waiting for the independent brigade commander to make a decision. If there was no news from the independent brigade for a long time, would he just keep silent and not give it?
"Chief of Staff Wu, this is Mengbao, Sui Province, where my 35th Army is stationed. Our Commander Fu is also the Chairman of the Sui Province Government.
Our opinion is to let you evacuate and let the troops I bring take over directly!"
Wu Fenglin's smiling face slowly calmed down, and the fierce aura of an iron-blooded soldier rushed towards Zheng Jin.
"Chief of Staff Zheng, the Mengbao was taken by the soldiers of my independent brigade with their lives and blood. You, the 35th Army, want to take it away just by talking. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
Seeing Wu Fenglin's tone and expression, Zheng Jin thought he was just trying to save face, so he smiled and said,
"Don't worry, Chief of Staff Wu. All your losses in Mengbao will be borne by our 35th Army.
Commander Fu said that our cooperation with the Eighth Route Army has always been good, and we will not let you work for nothing!"
"Bang!" Wu Fenglin slammed the table, "Chief of Staff Zheng is so generous. In the Mengbao Campaign, our independent brigade lost 1.8 soldiers and weapons and ammunition totaling 200 million yuan.
In the air defense battle just this morning, our unit lost 46 anti-aircraft guns and 145 trucks. This is the loss list.
After Wu Fenglin handed it over, he continued, "As long as the 35th Army replenishes our losses, we will leave immediately!"
Zheng Jin looked at the list and felt sick.
He didn't know how much loss the independent brigade had suffered in taking down the Mongolian bunker, but the manpower alone was a problem.
An independent brigade has less than 1.8 members in total, and now the other side is saying that they lost so many people in the attack. Is this a joke?
Could it be that the current encirclement of Suicheng, the defense of Yuxian, and the independent brigade soldiers he saw when he entered the city just now were all fake?
"Bang!" Zheng Jin also slammed the table. "Chief of Staff Wu, you are asking for too much. Where did you get so many people in your brigade?"
Wu Fenglin laughed again, "Chief of Staff Zheng, the Japanese troops in Mengbao already have 8000 men, plus the 5 men of the First Mongolian Cavalry Army.
Do you think you can easily win without any loss? Is that possible?
If it were really that simple, Mengbao would not have stayed in the hands of the devils for two years. He would have been taken down by the 35th Army long ago, don’t you think? "
Zheng Jin looked at Wu Fenglin with a grim face. Don't think that he couldn't hear what the other party meant.
