Chapter 113 Too Many Troops
Matsumoto Takeshi rubbed his temple and said in distress, "Yes, this is exactly what is bothering me."
Takeuchi Ichiro had no other choice, so he suggested, "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, it is better to consult the headquarters for such an important matter!"
Matsumoto Takeshi looked at Takeuchi Ichiro with satisfaction and said, "Go send the telegram!"
At the Taiyuan First Army Headquarters, after receiving the telegram from Takeuchi Ichiro, Tsukasa Yoshio covered his head and thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out.
After fighting for so many years, how could I meet a shameless person like Wang Ye?
Not only did they destroy my troops, but they also exchanged the photos for money and weapons. How shameless!
"Everyone, you have read the telegram. Is there any way to get those photos back?"
Tanaka Yoshinori and the staff looked at each other in bewilderment. How could they take it? Was it possible to take it without any words?
Seeing that so many people in the headquarters office were silent, Yuzuka Yoshio threatened with a cold face.
"Everyone, the First Army has been in such a big mess. It won't be long before Tanaka-kun and I return to the mainland to accept punishment from the military and the cabinet.
But you can't leave. If the next commander knew your attitude towards work, I believe your life would not be easy!"
The atmosphere in the First Army Headquarters has been very strange these past two days. No matter where Yoshio Yuzuka goes, he always feels like his subordinates are pointing fingers at him.
Tanaka Yoshinori's feelings were more direct, but he was only the chief of staff. Now that the First Army had no combat missions, he hid in his room and rarely came out.
Otherwise, if it weren't for Ichiro Takeuchi's telegram, he would not have appeared at the command center at all.
"Commander Yuzuka, we only have two options now.
Either launch a campaign in northern Shanxi, let the 41st Division and the th Brigade attack the independent battalion with all their strength, and destroy them around Pingxian County in northern Shanxi,
Either agree to their terms. Once these photos are obtained by the government, the whole world will know the destruction of the Imperial Army Division in less than two days.
Moreover, they were wiped out by the Tubalu guerrilla forces, which will have a serious impact on the reputation of our imperial army."
The words of the staff made Yuzuka Yoshio's head hurt even more. Fight? How to fight?
The 41st Division was stationed in Yuncheng, and the base of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army was located there.
If the main force of the 41st Division leaves, the Tubalu will certainly gather its main force to attack the county town. By then, not only will northwestern Shanxi be in chaos, but northeastern Shanxi will also be in chaos.
The main force was the Fifth Brigade, which was stationed in the section of the Zhengtai Railway from Taiyuan to Yuncheng. If they left, the Tubalu and Jinsui Army would definitely attack the railway.
There was a problem with the Zhengtai Road. Goods from North China could not be brought in, and coal from Shanxi Province could not be exported.
This was a price that Yoshio Tsukasa could not afford, especially since he had made such a huge mistake.
"You can't fight!" Tanaka Yoshinori said firmly.
"Commander, let's negotiate and get the things in the hands of the Independent Battalion back as soon as possible and wait for the Empire's decision!"
Yoshio Yuzuka looked at the haggard old face of Yoshinori Tanaka and felt a sense of emotion in his heart. He was tired and didn't want to fight anymore!
"Send a telegram to Matsumoto Takeshi, and let him represent the First Army in the negotiations!"
Tanaka Yoshinori reminded, "The Tubalu's conditions are too high, we may not be able to accept them!"
Yuzuka Yoshio looked at the conditions at the end of the telegram and said angrily,
"Continue to talk. I don't accept such conditions, especially weapons and ammunition!"
Tanaka reminded again, "Commander Yuzuka, we also need to talk about prisoners. We can't capture prisoners when we fight against the Tubalu.
As far as I know, those arrested all over the country are basically underground party members. Even if we count them all, we can’t even make up 2000 people!”
"Let them talk. Does the Empire support them just for free?"
Yuzuka Yoshio shouted in impotent rage.
At the Ping County Command, the Chief of Staff watched the Japanese leave the meeting room, and quickly ran over from the next door and grabbed Wang Ye's hand.
"Comrade Wang Ye, what you just said about asking the devils to release our captured comrades, will that work?"
The chief of staff didn't care about the oceans and weapons that Wang Ye mentioned. The only thing he cared about was this.
"Leader, why don't you contact the headquarters and ask them to prepare a list of people who need to be exchanged. They will definitely be useful in a couple of days!"
"Okay, okay, okay, I'll send a telegram right away!" The chief of staff did not question Wang Ye's intention. Many underground party members were arrested by the devils all over the country.
Moreover, they are all imprisoned in heavily guarded prisons, and there is no possibility of rescuing them by conventional means.
After the chief of staff left, Zhao Gang said to Wang Ye, "Captain, are you sure? This matter is of great significance. We must not give the higher-ups hope, only to end up with disappointment!"
Wang Ye patted his chest and assured, "Political Commissar, don't worry, I know the Japs' plan very well, and we will definitely be able to rescue everyone this time!
By the way, how are the traitors being dealt with?"
"I was just about to tell you that this time we attacked Ping County quickly.
The Japanese invaders were blocked in the city before they could attack, so many of them surrendered. After this period of screening and development,
There are more than 1 people willing to join our independent brigade! "
"How much?" Wang Ye was so frightened that he almost jumped up.
Oh my goodness, 1 people?
The independent battalion now has about 8500 combat troops. If you add the wounded and returning soldiers, the final combat force should be about 9000.
If these 2 more people join in, Wang Ye will have nearly people. From now on, he won't be afraid of even two divisions, let alone a single division of the Japanese enemy.
But Wang Ye couldn't afford it. An infantry battalion of more than a thousand people required 1.2 merit points, and one battle would consume 5000 points of ammunition.
Anti-aircraft artillery battalions, rocket artillery battalions and tank battalions consume more merit points.
Wang Ye now has 11 merit points. He plans to set up an independent brigade's flying regiment. Fighter planes and bombers are not cheap.
Pilots are one of the most expensive branches of the military, not including the costs of ground crew, fuel, etc.
Wang Ye thought that 11 merit points were a lot, but when he heard that people had joined, he was stunned. He couldn't afford it!
"Captain, you don't seem happy?"
Wang Ye smiled bitterly and asked, "The enemy only has 1.5 people in total. How come of them are willing to join us?"
Zhao Gang explained with a smile, "It's mainly because the soldiers are too strong, and the weapons and equipment the captain found are too advanced.
The Japanese divisions are no match for our independent brigade, so who wouldn't want to follow us and fight the Japanese?"
Wang Ye had no choice but to refuse the soldiers, which was not in line with Wang Ye's style.
"Well, Political Commissar, you should arrange for the people to work in the logistics department first. Anyway, Ping County needs a lot of people in various fields these days.
After we deal with the Japanese and the Kuomintang, we will discuss expanding the army!"
Seeing that there was no way to negotiate now, Zhao Gang turned around to deal with the prisoners. Liu had no time to rest that day.
