Chapter 133 A Corner of the World

Jinan, the headquarters of the Japanese North China Front Army.

Shou Yi in the temple lowered his triangular eyebrows, and said to the visitor: "Hashimoto-kun, what is your purpose here this time?"

Terauchi Shouichi's patience with this headquarter chief of staff who repeatedly blocked him from getting through Jinpu Road has reached its limit.

Hashimoto bent down, held it for a few seconds, and then straightened up. His heart was full of humiliation. He had not been the chief of staff for long, but he was forced to come over to apologize to Terauchi Shouichi and ask for his forgiveness.

"Your Excellency, after the battles in Songhu and Shanxi and Shandong, our army has been exhausted for a long time and needs to be properly repaired before we can continue to fight. Moreover, I think we should gather the main force to pursue in the direction of Wuhan and annihilate the main force of the Chinese army in Wuhan. That's the best policy."

Terauchi Shouyi raised his eyebrows and looked at Hashimoto Group with a disdainful smile on his face: "The Chinese army's combat effectiveness is weak, except for some troops, but these troops are too small in number to compete with the millions of imperial troops.

We must fight in Wuhan. However, the 10,000+ Chinese troops on Jinpu Road and Longhai Road cannot be left alone, and they will become our future troubles.

In addition, the Tenth Army on the Jiaoji Line is also a serious problem for us. If it cannot be cut off, even if Qingdao is captured, the Jiaoji Line will not be able to be used.

If these are not handled well, when Wuhan is attacked, these troops will make trouble behind, so they will not be able to concentrate on fighting. "

Hashimoto Group also wanted to fight again: "Your Excellency, you are right, but at present, the loss of troops is still very large. If it can be delayed until June, the six new divisions in China will be able to complete the training. , and the deployment of troops will be more calm."

"Confused!" Terauchi Shouichi scolded loudly: "Hashimoto-kun, you are also a man who knows how to fight, why do you still have this kind of thinking? The population of China is several times that of ours. When we were training the new army, they were also training. , We gather six divisions in half a year, and they can gather a hundred divisions in half a year, the longer the time delays, the less superior our troops will be, and only by constantly attacking and winning battles can we conquer China."

Hashimoto group wanted to argue again, and saw Terauchi Shouyi took out the Go board: "Hashimoto-kun, I have always heard that you are very skilled, why don't we discuss a game by hand."

Hashimoto Qun's eyes dimmed, and he bowed his head in thanks and said, "Thank you, General, then I'll make a fool of myself."

The two played for a long time, and finally stopped. Terauchi Shouyi looked at the chessboard with complicated eyes: "As expected of Hashimoto-kun, you are amazing."

He had the upper hand in the first half of this chess game, but was cut off by Hashimoto on the right side. Although Dalong struggled hard, he still only had one eye, and the other eye needed to be fought to survive.

In order to win this robbery, Shouyi of the temple invested a lot of robbery talents. In the end, the robbery won, but the robbery lost too much and lost the whole game.

"Your Excellency, you are too polite." Hashimoto Qun was sad. Although he won this game of chess, he lost his life. He could foresee the days to come. It was nothing more than being transferred to the reserve team, which was equivalent to exile.

When Hashimoto group left, Terauchi Shouichi suddenly drew his sword and cut the chessboard into pieces.

"Baga, do you want to use chess to persuade me? It's too arrogant. Let the Fifth Division attack, break through the Jiaoji line, and take Qingdao with the navy!"

At this time, inside Qingdao Railway Station.

The train whistle blew, and Shen Honglie left Qingdao with a complicated expression, taking with him four regiments of marines and more than 2000 navies.

Outside the train station, there was a crowd of people. People carried loads of boxes and burdens on their shoulders. They swarmed together, forming an army of people, fleeing along the highway towards Jimo.

Zhao Gang never saw this, and immediately sent people to escort the refugees along the way.

Zhang Gang was left with a mess!

In the military, the two Tax Police Headquarters remained, as did more than 900 naval soldiers who wanted to fight the devils.

In terms of civil facilities, Japan's nine major cotton mills, Sifang Power Plant, brewery, oil refinery, two rubber factories, and locomotive factories all have to be shipped, which is huge and heavy.

Zhao Gang stepped forward again and took over the drudgery of transporting more than a dozen factories, allowing Zhang Gang to concentrate on military affairs.

In the temporary command room, Wei Dayong grinned from ear to ear. This is equivalent to picking up two elite regiments for nothing. Everyone knows that the tax police corps is the most well-equipped in the country.

"Come on, look at your smile, the back molars are all exposed, can you be a little promising? Isn't it just two groups, what's the big deal?" Zhang Gang kicked Wei Dayong, and he couldn't help laughing .

"That's right, let's make things clear. Brothers fight together, and when we meet, we will get half of the battle, and you will get one of my regiments." Li Yunlong booed.

"Old Li is right, I only want one regiment, and I don't want any more." Kong Jie also booed.

"Come on, Lao Li, Lao Kong, I have to explain to you clearly, the two of you are day laborers, maybe you will return to the 386 brigade that day, I still have use for these equipment, so don't worry about it."

"That's not okay. We have to be reasonable. We've come all the way to help you fight the war, not to mention supplementary personnel. We don't give you guns and cannons. That's unreasonable."

Zhang Gang smiled: "Lao Li, how about this, according to the current situation, I specially arrange for you to go to WF to garrison, Lao Kong, you go to ZB."

"Damn, I understand. You're a cheapskate even though you're an official. Well, I don't want these equipments, but I have to keep everything captured on the battlefield!" Kong Jie was the first to give in.

"It's a good idea. I will give you [-]% of the captured battlefield. You think my heavy artillery regiment grew up sucking air. Once the cannon is fired, ten thousand taels of gold. Half of it for one person is too little for me."

A few people quarreled, and finally it was negotiated that it would be [-]% on June [-]th, and Zhang Gang would get [-]%.

After negotiating the conditions, Zhang Gang unfolded the map: "Next, let's talk about how to defend Qingdao?"

Finally, when we got to the point of the conversation, everyone's spirits lifted and they all became interested.
