27. Ransom
March 18, 1938 at 2:13 pm
"I am here to tell Japan, Central China, and the Japanese Emperor: On March 17, 1938, China, Shandong, Linyi. Our Chinese National Revolutionary Army accidentally defeated the poison gas bombs of the Japanese army during the fierce battle with Japan, causing about 40,000 Japanese imperial warriors to be broken. It is deeply regretful. A soldier, who was not killed in battle on the battlefield, died in vain. Out of humanitarian spirit, the Chinese Democratic Revolutionary Army restrained the bodies of about 40,000 Japanese warrants. According to statistics, 2 major generals, 13 colonels, 45 central assistants, 120 major enemies, 300 captains, 600 lieutenants, 980 second lieutenants, and a total of 37,563 soldiers below warrant officers. Hereby charge the Japanese government for hard work, 100 major generals.
00 silver dollars/person, Colonel 8,000 silver dollars/person, Central assistant 6,000 silver dollars/person, Grandmaster 4,000 silver dollars/person, Captain 2,000 silver dollars/person, Lieutenant 1,000 silver dollars/person, Second Lieutenant 500 silver dollars/person, Warrant officers and soldiers below 300 silver dollars/person, total: 1,383,290 silver dollars. If the Japanese government is unwilling to collect the corpses for the warriors of your country, the Chinese Democratic Revolutionary Army had to throw the body into the mountains. China is vast and wealthy, and there are many tigers and wolves in the mountains to solve this problem. All officers and soldiers of the National Revolutionary Army Independent Division, 59th Army, and 40th Army (the number of officers and soldiers below in this paragraph depends on imagination. Please forgive me if there is any wrong ~)”
As soon as this telegram was released, the whole country was in an uproar.
...
Japanese Imperial Palace
"Haga!" The Japanese Emperor Showa overthrew everything on the table and was furious, "Are the North China Expeditionary Army all the money? Such a ridiculous telegram leaked?"
"Your Majesty calms down. The Chinese army has not been long since the time has passed." Konoe Mori bowed his head and said, Japan's 34, 38, 39th as prime minister, one of the five photographers, the 30th generation master of the Konoe clan, one of the five photographers, one of the scoundrels, one of the scoundrels, one of the scoundrels, and the main promoter of fascism. The great-grandson of the Inner Minister, Toshihi, the grandson of the left minister, Toshihi, and the eldest son of the Speaker of the Noble House.
"I don't care about the process, I just want the result! The corpses of 40,000 warriors must be transported back to the local area for burial!" the emperor said hoarsely.
"Hi."
...
Chongqing
"Hahaha, I don't know who I learned from." The chairman laughed, "Yunnong, in the next battle of Linyi, I must protect Zhou Weiguo, even if everyone else dies in battle, I just want Zhou Weiguo to live."
"yes."
"You also tell me, how do you evaluate this telegram outside?" said the chairman.
"Most of the people applauded and felt very relieved." Dai Li smiled, "but there were some pro-Japanese elements who posted a message to rebuke."
"Tell Li Zongren, such a great form, give me a beautiful turnaround!" said the chairman, "Be sure to protect Zhou Weiguo."
"yes!"
...
Japan North China Front Command
"Your Excellency Commander." Takeshita bowed.
"Takeshita, is it really so magical for special operations?" Sora Tanuchi said listlessly.
"Your Excellency Commander, special operations are all about application." Takeshita Toshita said, "If you use it well, you will be a sharp knife inserted into the enemy's heart."
"Hey." Teraunuchi looked at the ceiling and said, "Rensuke Isotani and others have escaped. Now at the 3rd Brigade, it is said that they were hit by mustard seed gas bombs. Now they are very miserable, their skin is ulcerated, and the hospital has no special medicine."
"Your Excellency Commander," Takeshita said, "This time, it was just an accident. The commander of the division of Wakaotani Ryosuke did not bring poison gas bombs by his side. The Chinese army would not have poison gas bombs at all."
"Oh, forgot." Teraunuchi said, "Takeshita, I will be back home soon. As today, Your Majesty the Emperor is furious, and the Chinese army will definitely not give it. I can't escape this responsibility no matter what. But, please Takeshita again, be sure to build a special forces team for my great Japanese Empire, please!"
"Don't worry, Commander, Takeshita will do its best to build an invincible special forces team for the empire!" Takeshita bowed again.

March 18, 1938 at 4 pm Linyi
"According to the current actions of the Japanese, they want to destroy all of us in Linyi." Zhou Weiguo looked at the map and smiled, "I guess in another two days, the troops will be at the city."
"It's only close to 80,000 people. I want to eat 70,000 of our two soldiers, so I think it's simple." Zhang Zizhong's face was not very good-looking, and he said.
Pang Bingxun didn't say anything.
"Brother Xunchen, this will not be the final number of people." Zhou Weiguo said with a smile, "There will be other reinforcements. Moreover, I think there will be no shortage of aircraft, shells, and tanks."
"If this is true, Xuzhou will be safe." Pang Bingxun sighed.
"It's just moving the battlefield forward." Zhang Zizhong said, "Commander Li said there will be support, so we can just hold on. But, brother Weiguo, do you have any solutions?"
Zhou Weiguo shook his head, "I need more detailed information to have a strategy. The Japanese were completely angry with us. This is good. If we really want to fight, we are not afraid of them." Zhou Weiguo was still confident at this time. Now he has nearly 400,000 war points in his hands. The demise of the 10th Division brought him nearly 70,000 war points. Moreover, the side missions have also changed.
At this time, Zhou Weiguo adjusted the system panel again.
"Host: Zhou Weiguo (Zhou Wen)"
"Time: March 18, 16:03, 26th year of the Republic of China (1938)"
"Rank: Lieutenant General"
"Position: Commander of the Independent Division of the 5th National Revolutionary Army"
"Spirit (point): 17 (Often adult men usually have 7-9 points, and 10 points are extremely firm in their minds.)"
"Strength (point): 15 (Often adult men usually have 10 points.)"
"Speed (point): 16 (Often adult men usually have 10 points.)"
"Subordinate units: Special Forces*1, Infantry Brigade*3, Infantry Regiment*3 per Brigade; Medical Battalion*1, Artillery Battalion*1, Engineer Battalion*1, Communication Battalion*1, Bagie Battalion*1, Cavalry Company*1. A total of 11,785 people (26,000 people are over, not over, please work hard for the host."
"Skills: marksmanship (proficient), sniper (advanced), fighting (advanced), firearms (proficient), special combat (advanced), Japanese (proficient), German (proficient), English (proficient), computer (proficient)."
"War Points: 388972 Points"
Zhou Weiguo's data at this time was much stronger than when he first traveled through time, and he had more subordinates. He had much more confidence in fighting against Japan.
And the task board,
Main mission: Win the War against Japan (ends on August 15, 1945), mission reward, war point of 1.3 billion points.
Side mission: Battle of Linyi in the Battle of Xuzhou (Defend Linyi) to April 20, 1938, the mission rewards, 20,000 points in the war point, and 10,000 boxes of penicillin injection. (If this battle is greatly defeated by the Japanese army, the new side mission will be started.)
Plot mission: defeat Takeshita Toshita (as of August 15, 1945), mission reward, war point 1000 points.
Special mission: ransom (Note: There are so many corpses outside the city, are you sure you won't sell them to the Japanese?), mission reward, war points 10,000 points, steel plant construction drawings*1.
Zhou Weiguo touched his chin, and his history had been changed a lot by him. In history, in the Battle of Linyi, the 59th Army and the 40th Army suffered heavy casualties. Now, not only the situation of the Battle of Xuzhou has changed drastically, but also the situation of the Battle of Linyi has also changed. It is estimated that the new side missions and new side missions are not the history he knows.
Speaking of which, the sale of Japanese corpses was indeed a special task first, otherwise Zhou Weiguo would not have made any use of dead people. However, according to the reactions of the people, this move was indeed a bit pleasing to the people.
"Brother Weiguo?" Zhang Zizhong said, "Brother Weiguo?"
"Ah?" Zhou Weiguo came to his senses and quit the system.
"Do you have any ideas for thinking for a long time?" Pang Bingxun said, "I see you laughing."
"Ahem, I don't have any ideas," Zhou Weiguo said quickly, "Let's take a look at the information. By the way, has the Japanese army sent a telegram yet? Do you want these corpses?"
As soon as Zhou Weiguo finished speaking, Zhang Ruikuan ran in and said, "Captain, captain. The Japanese sent a telegram and said they wanted to have a good talk with us."
Zhou Weiguo took the telegram, took a look, and said, "Reply to the telegram and told them that it is OK to talk, but can those Japanese troops coming to Linyi stop? Otherwise, we will not guarantee that the bodies of them will be intact when they come."
"Yes!" Then, Zhang Ruikuan ran away excitedly.
"Brother Weiguo, is this useful?" Pang Bingxun touched his chin, feeling a little confused, and said.
"I don't know either, who knows?" Zhou Weiguo smiled, "But the Japanese are willing to reply to the telegram, which means that the Japanese government still attaches great importance to this incident."
"They don't help but ignore it. Now this matter is known to the world. If the Japanese government does not redeem these corpses, it will make all the Japanese feel disappointed. At that time, it will not only be difficult to take soldiers, but also the ordinary Japanese people will not be able to comfort them." Zhang Zizhong said with a smile.
...
Kyoto, Japan
"Reden the body of the Warrior!"
"Take the Warriors home!"
"Stop the war!"
"Reden the body of the Warrior!"
People marched in many places in Japan, demanding the redemption of the bodies of Japanese warriors.
...
Linyi, Shandong
"Captain! Captain!" Zhang Ruikuan ran in with another telegram, "The Japanese have a reply again."
Zhou Weiguo received the telegram again and smiled, "Why, the Japanese have compromised. The Japanese divisions and mixed brigades will temporarily stop moving forward recently, and representatives will come to discuss the ransom tomorrow."
"Really?" Pang Bingxun stood up in surprise, then rubbed his hands happily, and looked at Zhou Weiguo pitifully.
"Brother Pang, don't, you are so old." Zhou Weiguo shivered. After all, it was uncomfortable to be watched by a man in his 50s.
"Captain Pang, don't look at this kid." Zhang Zizhong smiled, "This money will definitely be discounted, and the big one cannot reach his kid. However, I think this kid will not forget our 59th Army and the 40th Army without loyalty."
