Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 576
The Japanese Chief of Staff Miyata Suke who was sitting at the bottom saw Kawata Tsutsutaro asking for his opinion, and then said: "Your Excellency, Commander of the Brigade, although General Okamura did not clearly convey clear instructions in the telegram, the heavy artillery is too important for the imperial army. It is too important, even if someone is sent to blow it up, it will still be a loss to the imperial army!"

"In my opinion, it's better to trade with the Eighth Route Army and get back the heavy artillery. This is also a great achievement!"

Kawata Tsutsutaro didn't reply immediately after hearing this, obviously he was weighing gains and losses.

The two of them had a tacit understanding and didn't mention sending troops to the base of the Eighth Route Army to take back the heavy artillery. The situation of the Independent First Mixed Brigade is not good now.

Tunliu, Changzi, and Anze were the defense areas of the First Independent Mixed Brigade. There were more than [-] Japanese troops, and there were less than [-] people in the Garrison and the Imperial Association Army.

These troops were scattered across the three counties, and there were quite a few of them. However, there were Chu Yunfei's only brigade and Kong Jie's independent regiment in the defense area of ​​the independent first mixed brigade.

On the west side is the Taiyue Military Region of the Eighth Route Army, which can cut off the Lintun Highway at any time. On the east side is the 129th Group Army of Changzhi.

The Independent First Mixed Brigade seemed like a nail inserted into the defense zone of the Eighth Route Army and the National Army, and was surrounded by the Eighth Route Army and the National Army in disguise.

Fan Hanjie of Changzhi had long intended to expand the defense zone. He could not allow others to snore on the side of the couch. After the troops regained their combat effectiveness, they would attack the Japanese troops from the First Independent Mixed Brigade.

"You should contact the Eighth Route Army immediately. The imperial army is willing to exchange the heavy artillery from the Eighth Route Army. Please ask the Eighth Route Army to make a suitable condition! After the matter is completed, the reward will be big, but you must see with your own eyes whether the heavy artillery is in the hands of the Eighth Route Army! "Kawada Tsutsutaro said.

"Hey, Taijun, I'm going to contact the Eighth Route Army right now!" The traitor almost jumped up from the ground when he heard this.

The same scene was also staged in Anyang and Xinxiang. The Japanese troops in the two places were able to protect themselves, but they had no aggressive power in a short period of time, so they unanimously chose to trade with the Eighth Route Army.

The news of the Japanese army's request for a deal was quickly reported to Zhou Weihan. According to Zhou Weihan's arrangement, within a day, representatives of the three waves of the Japanese army went to confirm the authenticity of the heavy artillery.

At this time, Zhou Weihan was holding the phone in the office, and Dong Jiang's voice came from the other end of the microphone: "Detachment Captain, everyone has been arranged separately, should we clarify our conditions now?"

"Okay, we must not let them know each other's existence!" Zhou Weihan said.

"Yes!"

Outside Pingshun City, the 281rd Battalion of the [-]st Regiment was stationed. After Dong Jiang finished his report, he left the headquarters of the [-]rd Battalion, lit a cigarette and squatted under the wall, thinking about how to proceed next.

As a representative, Dong Jiang was fully responsible for negotiating with the Japanese army. The conditions Zhou Weihan had already agreed on the actual situation of the Japanese army in the three base areas, Xu Dali only needed to relay it.

I saw Dong Jiang throwing the cigarette butt on the ground, crushing it with the sole of his shoe, and then walked to a house at the east end of the camp.

Those who were temporarily detained were traitors from Tunliu, guarded by two soldiers outside the gate.

"Open the door and I'll talk to him!"

"Yes!"

When the door opened, the traitor sitting on the kang jumped up and said eagerly: "What did your commander say, the imperial army is sincere, just ask for conditions!"

"Oh, is that right? That's just right!" Dong Jiangpi squeezed a smile on his face: "You also know that this heavy artillery is a good thing. The general army of little devils doesn't have this thing, right!"

"That's true. The imperial army in the garrison is equipped with mountain artillery and field artillery at most!" The traitor nodded.

"So, you have to pay a big price in exchange. Twelve mountain cannons, ten [-]-type infantry guns, twenty-four heavy machine guns, thirty-six light machine guns, [-] [-] big guns, shells, Bullets." Dong Jiang stated the conditions one by one.

When the traitor heard it, his face immediately collapsed: "The imperial army will not agree to so many weapons and equipment!"

"Just go back and report and tell the little devil that this is a one-shot deal. Although our Eighth Route Army can't play heavy artillery, we would rather blow it up than give it to the little devil for nothing, so don't use your unnecessary thoughts!" Dong said. Jiang said that he could not refuse.

After the traitors left in the village left, Dong Jiang received representatives of the Japanese army in Anyang. The Japanese army in these two places were all mixed brigades, and Zhou Weihan offered him the same conditions as a withdrawal.

But when he arrived at the representative of the Japanese army in Xinxiang, Zhou Weihan's conditions were as big as a lion's mouth.

The Japanese army in Xinxiang belonged to the [-]th Division of the Japanese Army. According to Zhou Weihan's understanding of the Japanese army, it is very likely that a combat readiness warehouse was built in Kaifeng, the headquarters of the division.

"Eighteen mountain cannons, [-] Type [-] infantry cannons, [-] heavy machine guns, [-] light machine guns, [-] [-] big guns, shells and bullets."

"Don't say it's impossible, I have a total of eighteen heavy artillery pieces in my hand. Calculated in this way, one heavy artillery piece is replaced by a mountain artillery piece, a [-]-type infantry artillery piece, and the others are considered to be useful. Where can I find this kind of gun?" Good thing to go!"

Seeing that Dong Jiang was so tough, the traitor from Xinxiang showed embarrassment, but said that he would go back and report, and then left in a hurry.

After all the traitors left, Dong Jiang's serious face just now collapsed, and he couldn't help laughing.

The soldiers of the reconnaissance company who were in charge of guarding the door heard the conversation just now clearly, and couldn't help asking: "Company commander, is this price too harsh, and the little devil is not stupid, so you can't agree to the appointment?"

"This condition was issued by the detachment leader, and I don't know it in my heart!"

The same conversation was going on at the headquarters.

"Old Zhou, it's not a small sum if you divide it up. Once this little devil reports to the higher authorities, won't he be out of help?" Xing Zhiguo said.

"Hey, Lao Xing, the most complicated thing in this world is human nature. People are greedy. The little devils in these three places have received orders. What a credit it is to be able to exchange the heavy artillery. I must be holding back Now, if you want to say whether the little devil has doubts in his heart, he must have!"

"However, God will help us if we can make a lot of money. It doesn't matter if we can't, but in short, we can make a fortune in the end. This is a guarantee!" Zhou Weihan said shamelessly.

Sure enough, after receiving the reply, the Japanese commanders of the three places immediately rejected the conditions of the transaction.

After understanding the negotiation process in detail, they sent telegrams to ask if the Japanese troops in other places had made any progress.

"Why did the [-]th Division also send the same inquiry telegram?" Kawada Tsuchisaburo looked at the telegram sent by the Anyang Japanese Army in his hand, feeling a little fooled in his heart.

"Your Excellency, brigade commander, is it possible that the Eighth Route Army has also negotiated with the Imperial Army troops in other places?"

"Baga, the Eighth Route Army's conscience is greatly broken!"
