Glorious Mission 1937

Chapter 550: Negotiation (seeking subscription, monthly ticket, all kinds!!!)

Manzhouli. The former enemy headquarters!

Zhang Jingjun, the former commander-in-chief of the enemy, reported to Chen Fenghui: "Commander, our army has broken through the two lines of defense of the Japanese army, and it will take half a day at most to wipe out the Japanese and puppet troops in the city!"

"Stop attacking!" Chen Feng seemed to have made up his mind and said.

"Uh...is...what, stop attacking?" Zhang Jingjun looked at Chen Feng in surprise.

"Give me an order to stop the attack immediately, and not attack the Japanese and puppet troops in the city!" Chen Feng said.

"Commander, why is this? We paid a huge price to beat this Ninth Division half to death, and we were able to wipe it out after a few hours of persistence..."

"Let's talk about this later, order the troops to stop attacking immediately!" Chen Feng said loudly.

"But..." Zhang Jingjun wanted to say something else, but seeing Chen Feng's stern and resolute expression, he knew that it was useless to persuade him any longer, and all his words could only be choked back into his stomach.

The news that Chen Feng's troops stopped attacking quickly spread back to the Kwantung Army Command. General Yamada Otosan and Lieutenant General Okabe Naozaburo were greatly relieved. It seems that the two sides have reached a tacit agreement on the matter of negotiation. So there is no one who bows to whom.

In fact, before this, General Yamada Otosan was a little worried that Chen Feng would refuse to negotiate with the Imperial Army. After all, it was the elite Ninth Division of the Japanese Army that was surrounded, and this division was the only one that could represent the Imperial Japanese Army. One of the regiments, if it is wiped out by the Chinese.The damage to the dignity and honor of the empire would be immeasurable.

Although Chen Feng's troops were surrounded by a naval fleet, they were all old, weak, sick, and disabled warships. The most important thing was that this naval fleet was a newly formed fleet, not to mention the United States, Britain and other countries. Most of the people in China didn't know the existence of this naval fleet. Even if it was completely wiped out, the damage to China would not be too great. At most, it would make that hateful warlord Chen Feng feel distressed for a while.

One person's heartache is nothing compared to the heartache of the entire empire, so General Yamada Otosan has been very worried that Chen Feng's troops will annihilate the Ninth Division regardless.

But now it seems that the Chinese general army and the naval fleet under his command are still very important.I would rather give up the honor of annihilating the Ninth Division to preserve that naval fleet.This also relieved the tense atmosphere of the entire army headquarters and the Japanese army base camp.

Although there is a tacit understanding, the following is the most important thing. Negotiations and negotiations, only when the two parties really have an agreement.Then things are done.A day without a deal.It's not over yet.

Negotiating with Chen Feng's subordinates is not just a matter of finding two people casually.The status of the two parties must be equal, otherwise it is conceivable that a person as proud as Chen Feng would not casually meet that cat or dog.The Japanese army base camp thought again and again.It was decided to send Lieutenant General Okabe Naozaburo to Manchuria as the fully elected ambassador for the negotiations.

Why is Naozaburo Okabe? It doesn't mean that Naozaburo Okabe's status is comparable to that of Chen Feng. On the contrary, the importance of the two people in this country is far from comparable.But Naozaburo Okabe was the chief of staff of the North China Front Army, and he had fought against Chen Feng for more than three years. It can be said that the two are real old rivals.

The Japanese believe that a real soldier must not only respect himself, but also his opponent, so that he can be truly powerful.Chen Feng was able to develop into a hegemony in just a few years, he must understand the truth.

In addition, Naozaburo Okabe is still the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, and the Ninth Division is part of the battle order of the Kwantung Army. It is most appropriate for Naozaburo Okabe to come forward.

Sure enough, when the Kwantung Army Command sent a telegram to Chen Feng about sending Naozaburo Okabe to Manchuria, Chen Feng did not raise any objections to this, and even replied to the Kwantung Army Command, saying that he would personally communicate with Okabe. Lieutenant General Naozaburo will talk.

On April 4th, the talks between the two sides officially started. Before the start of the talks, the two sides agreed to supplement the necessary supplies for their respective troops in the encirclement. Of course, this supply supplement is limited to food, fresh water and simple medicines, and nothing else are not within this scope.

The venue for the talks was in a VIP building in Manzhouli City. This VIP building has a very special geographical location. It is located in the middle of the actual control line between the Japanese Garrison Command and Zhang Jingjun's headquarters. Both sides of the negotiation here are at ease.

The negotiation was carried out in an unfriendly atmosphere, mainly because the soldiers of the northern Mongolian military region were very puzzled by the negotiation. Except for Chen Feng, only Zhang Jingjun and Shi Jianfei knew the reason for the negotiation in the entire military region. Knowing nothing about this at all, many soldiers are extremely resistant to this negotiation.

The conditions put forward by the Japanese army were not harsh, and there were only two conditions: the first one was to ask Chen Feng's troops to stop the attack immediately and spare the Ninth Division in the encirclement; the second one was to immediately withdraw the entire army from Hulunbuir.In return, the Japanese Navy will return directly and send the Heilongjiang Fleet back to the Nanyang Territory.

Chen Feng has no objection to the first condition. After all, the main purpose of the two sides sitting down to negotiate this time is not for the Ninth Division and the Heilongjiang Fleet. The safety of these two troops is the basis of this negotiation. Presumably this is the case. Neither side sees it differently.

However, Chen Feng was extremely dissatisfied with the second request made by the Japanese army, even though he said that the Heilongjiang Fleet was surrounded by the Japanese army and was about to be destroyed.But this does not mean that he must agree to any conditions of the Japanese army. You must know that Manzhouli, Hailar and the nearby Qixian counties were fought by 10,000+ officers and soldiers of the Northern Mongolian Military Region through bloody battles.

What's more, each of them has each other's hole cards in their hands, and if no one sees them, they really stuck each other's necks. The Japanese are not angry at losing an infantry division, and he, Chen, may not be able to afford to lose a fleet. Besides, this fleet is already seriously injured. Half of the ships were sent to the bottom of the sea by the Japanese army, and the rest were also injured.

Therefore, Chen Feng sternly rejected the second condition of the Japanese army, and immediately put forward his own negotiating conditions. The conditions proposed by Chen Feng were much more straightforward. It is to let go of the avenue, let the Heilongjiang Fleet leave, and let the rest of you open up and put up a dragon gate formation. Whoever can get back the place is the one who has the ability.

To be honest, this condition is more in line with the current situation. After all, neither of the two sides can really force the other to submit. Although the value of a division is really not as good as that of a fleet, you must know the cost of building a fleet. The money can definitely equip 5-10 divisions.

But the Japanese know that what Chen Feng and the Chen family behind Chen Feng need most is money. There are two world factories in the United States and the Soviet Union. As long as you have money, there is probably nothing you can’t buy. If he is willing, as long as he is willing to spend money, he can build a more luxurious naval fleet in a short period of time, and this is not a problem.

For Japan, the loss of an infantry division is not a problem. Anyway, a large number of troops are formed every day in the empire. The infantry division after 60 years, so the Empire of Japan can afford to lose an infantry division.However, the Ninth Division really cannot afford to lose. The symbolic meaning of this division is far more important than itself.

The Ninth Division has always been the elite and strong backbone of the Japanese Army. It is a powerful army second only to the Second Division and the Sixth Division. To a certain extent, it represents the long-term military fortune of the Great Japanese Empire. I have praised this unit many times in public. If such a division is annihilated by the Chinese, the impact will be extremely far-reaching both domestically and internationally.

After several times of wrangling, the two sides also saw each other's bottom line, so Naozaburo Okabe's fighter plane directly proposed, not to mention these. It is only a few hundred kilometers away from Manzhouli to Yakeshi, and the sea area surrounded by the Heilongjiang Fleet It is only a few hundred nautical miles away from Australia, so everyone simply came to exchange a hostage.

The imperial army is willing to order the Ninth Division to bring out all the ammunition, leaving only a rifle and a bayonet, and then go to Yakeshi under the supervision of Chen Feng's troops. As long as they pass Hailaer, Chen Feng's troops will not pursue them. Even if it's over.At the same time, the Heilongjiang Fleet was also required to throw all the ammunition into the sea, and be supervised by the Japanese combined fleet. Finally, under the "escort" of the combined fleet, it went to Australia. The Japanese army promised to return when it was 200 nautical miles away from Australia, and never chased and intercepted the Heilongjiang Fleet. , even if the hostages were successfully exchanged, as for the future, they will still rely on their own abilities as before.

Lieutenant Admiral Naozaburo Okabe's proposal moved Chen Feng very much. Isn't the purpose of this negotiation just to rescue the Heilongjiang Fleet? Isn't the bargaining chip that he intends to pay is just the fat in the bowl of the Ninth Division? What's the point of hesitation? Besides, this plan is relatively fair to both parties, so Chen Feng agreed to this plan proposed by Naozaburo Okabe after a little consideration. The two parties agreed to start the exchange after signing the agreement on April 4th. hostage". (To be continued..)
