Chapter 218 Friendship and Peace
Boss Yang is not interested in letting this war last. He is determined not to do such things that harm others and do not benefit himself. You must know that this is all about money! Nearly 200,000 people consumed in millions every day.
Although this money was not actually his money. The military expenditure for the war outside the pass was advanced by the People's Bank of China to various warlords through loans, and then used wool to pay off the debt. In addition, some of them came from the Chinese National Armed Self-Defense Committee in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and overseas. Although it was a loan, it was also risky. It made the Japanese anxious and tried their best to defeat Chahar. What did Song Zheyuan and others get to repay the loan if they lost their territory?
A war that can be done is not a bad thing, but a war that lasts for a long time is not a good thing. Fighting for two months is to promote the economy. If you have to fight for two years, you will destroy the economy. In this regard, Americans in later generations have set a demonstration for them. Since the benefits have been gained enough, they naturally cannot continue to fight.
To be honest, Ryuki Kareya is also holding on. Yang Feng can see this clearly. Now that all six divisions are under the pressure of Reha, it is a huge challenge for logistics supply.
After losing the Shenyang Arsenal, the Japanese army had to rely on domestic supplies of weapons and ammunition, but ports such as Lushun were blocked by mines and the Yalu River Bridge was blown up. The Anti-Japanese United Army seized Yanji, which cut off all railways from North Korea to North Korea, and it was impossible to transport them to North Korea to load them on trains.
In this case, the transport ships can only go to Andong, and the resources that are also plundered from the Northeast, such as coal and steel, can only go to Andong to sea. This small port has long been overwhelmed.
The bombed bridges in Rehe and Liaoning cannot be repaired in such a short time. Many local railways have not yet returned to normal. The tight transportation capacity has made the Japanese army on the front line still stretched.
So Yang Feng is still very sure about peace. He will go to Germany to watch the Olympics soon. Before leaving, he must solve this problem.
"But this war must stop in our way!" Yang Feng, who took his titanium alloy scepter and pointed at the large military map on the wall, said seriously like a people's teacher.
But the one sitting there watching was not the elementary school student. It was a flash of starry sky. Boss Yang's summoning naturally did not dare to neglect the warlords, and they ran to Zhangjiakou one by one to play conspiracy.
"Our goal is Chifeng. We must firmly occupy Chifeng while defeating the four divisions on the Northern Front. In the future, this will be the base of the Northeast Liberation Army, and then negotiate a ceasefire with the Japanese army. In the short term, we will no longer provoke them, including the Anti-Japanese United Army in Changbai Mountain District, no longer provoke them, but they cannot provoke us either.
The two sides stabilize the next ceasefire line, and then the Restoration Army can use Chifeng as a base to promote settlement in the Zhaowuda League in the northern part of Rehe." Yang Feng said.
What restricts blending is still the supply of wool, and even has to start importing wool from Australia. It is also welcomed by capitalists.
Moreover, doing so will satisfy the mother of the country. Chifeng is also an important city after all. The occupation of Chifeng by the Restoration Army means that a substantial step has been taken to recover the Northeast. When they go out to raise funds, they can be said to be confident.
The Japanese would not lose their minds for Chifeng. After all, this is just a remote city. It is not the same level as Chenyang, Changchun and Harbin, so it did not really touch their interests. In exchange, they could take a breath. When the military system in the Northeast is rebuilt, the damaged railway is restored, and the mines at the port are cleaned. If the domestic military expansion is sufficient, the worst is that it can be fought again.
"Then the northern line must increase troops, at least 50,000 more troops. Only in this way can we break through the Xilamulun River defense line in one fell swoop. I will have an infantry brigade among these 50,000 people, and everyone will have to come and get the rest." Yang Feng said to the group of warlords present.
There is nothing to say about this, and everyone who comes has been enlightened to send troops. Including the local emperor like Han Fuju, who dominated the country, he made 30 million in the duck down business last year.
The profit of these 30 million is very easy. He is different from those of Sun Dianying. The old bandits worked hard to open up the land and lay sheep if they wanted to make money. He only needed to pluck the hair from the common people. Not to mention asking him to send troops, he would even ask him to flatter Yang Feng with the lives of a soldier from the division. This was also a completely cost-effective business.
"I will produce a division, Gu Liangmin's 22nd Division." Han Fuju said.
Since he started, the others naturally could not fall behind. Yu Xuezhong came out of Li Zhentang's 113th Division, He Zhuguo came out of Yao Dongfan's 115th Division, Shang Zhen came out of Gao Hongwen's 141st Division, Fu Zuoyi and Pang Bingxun each came out, and a brigade of the security division, which combined totaled exactly 50,000 people.
This result made Yang Feng very satisfied, but this coalition needed a commander, and this commander could only come out of these warlords, otherwise it would not be shocked.
"If you all believe it, then I'll go! It's hard for others to leave the base. After all, we still have to take care of the face of Nanjing, so I don't need to care about this." Fu Zuoyi said with a smile. He is the chairman of the Suiyuan Provincial Government, but the 35th Army headquarters is in Luan County and is running on both sides, so there is no need to consider whether he is at the base.
Since he stood up, no one else would have any objections. The troops who came out of seclusion were determined and then began to concentrate on Chahar. Now the transportation in North China is very convenient, and even Han Fuju can use a train to transport people directly to Zhangjiakou.
At the same time, the ammunition reserves of the Peking Arsenal and even the Taiyuan Arsenal were also continuously transported to Zhangjiakou. The remaining sections of the road need to be solved by cars, which is not a problem for Yang Feng. He now has thousands of vehicles with ten-wheeled large trucks. In addition, the large tractors produced by the tractor factory are enough to transport thousands of tons of materials back and forth.
With sufficient supplies, Yang Feng doesn't need to worry about how to fight the rest. If the 200,000 army cannot break through the defense line of the 60,000 Japanese army, these guys can kill them. What's more, at least 40,000 people here are not inferior to the Japanese army. As for the combat effectiveness of his own security division, Yang Feng believes that it is naturally far superior to the Japanese army.
This is also the first time that the infantry in the security division has actually participated in the war. Boss Yang still attaches great importance to this. In the past, he used to rely on equipment to crush the individual soldiers. Now it is time to play the quality of individual soldiers. Whether it can be fired depends on his performance this time.
Boss Yang showed off his majesty like a public servant, and slowly walked past the soldiers lined up with a titanium scepter. The one hundred carat diamond at the top of the scepter shone brightly in the sun.
The 6,000 soldiers of the Second Brigade of the Security Division were fully armed and arranged into a huge square array, with a full set of four-color aramid mountain camouflages, wearing an aramid helmet exactly the same as the People's Liberation Army, black field boots, and a bulletproof vest with ceramic plug-ins inside. A five- and six-type semi-automatic rifle on the shoulders. A forest-like thorn cone looked murderous.
Just like this team. If he could not defeat the Japanese army, Yang Feng felt that he should have hit him and killed him. His brigade should be said to be a special mountain brigade. Now Boss Yang has begun to divide the work for his subordinates.
Since it is a mountain brigade, the equipment is naturally lightweight. The artillery battalions of the two motorized infantry brigades use 130mm cannons. The artillery battalions of this brigade still use US-made M1 howitzers, but the number of 150 heavy mortars is higher. The air defense battalion is neither a double 37mm anti-aircraft gun nor a 12.7mm machine gun. And so far, the most modern equipment purchased by Yang Feng, the domestic 02 Type 02 14.5mm anti-aircraft machine gun.
It only weighs more than 70 kilograms, and the soldiers can easily carry it away after disassembly. When using explosive bombs, let alone shooting Japanese planes, it is fine to fight Japanese tanks. It is also good for infantry soldiers. If you use this thing, you are not afraid of falling into the hands of the Japanese and imitating it. If they have the ability to build it, it can only be said that the Japanese are cheating like themselves.
However, in terms of individual weapons, they are much more advanced than other troops, such as recoilless cannons, grenade launchers, and flamethrowers, which are temporarily not available in motorized infantry brigades.
Looking at the Type 02 anti-aircraft machine gun, Type 87 35mm grenade launcher, Type 74 flamethrower, Type 56 squad machine gun, M1 howitzer, and Yang Feng all had an unreal feeling. He could indeed make trouble with these weapons that were apart from development time to seventy years.
"Very good," Boss Yang looked at his mighty army with satisfaction, then waved his scepter and shouted: "Others from other places say that we are all Jingyouzi. Weizi? What does it mean? We don't have the courage, we can only be turtles, and we can only talk. To put it simply, we are not like man.
Today is the first time we Pingjin people went to the battle. In the past, those who didn’t count. No matter how good the fight was, people would say that we rely on guys to bully people. But today is different. You have to go to Rehe and fight to the Japanese face to face. You want to let someone see if we Pingjin people are manly!
We all do our best, show our prestige, let others see us again, and we all give our thumbs up and say, Pingjin people, manly!"
After a regional inspiration, the six thousand army boarded the train and embarked on a journey with the farewell eyes of countless relatives. Looking at these young soldiers who were separated from their relatives, Liu Haining said with emotion: "What a great soldier. Even though he knew he was going to fight, none of them retreated."
Yang Feng curled his lips and thought to himself: "I have raised them for four years, and it's time to use them."
At this moment, he saw Zhu Peide standing in front of a car with his hands behind his back, looking at him with a smile. Yang Feng couldn't help but smile awkwardly.
"Where is the security guard going?" Zhu Peide said knowingly.
"Train training, remotely maneuver training!" Yang Feng said without changing his face.
Zhu Peide nodded and said, "It seems that today is more suitable for training. You see, the whole country is doing training, and even the Third Route Army is doing remote maneuver training."
Such a large-scale mobilization cannot be concealed from the outside world. Besides, Yang Feng is not planning to conceal it. Many newspapers are even publicly reporting that the North China armies are heading north to reinforce Chahar. Of course, the North China armies firmly deny this. As for what tens of thousands of troops are running towards Chahar, they all responded unanimously, training, and remote maneuver training.
Zhu Peide naturally had no need to expose this point. He came to Peking and did not care about other people's business. Besides, it was impossible to control this matter. The Pingjin army was now completely controlled by Yang Feng. What he could order were the two divisions in Gubeikou. These two divisions were actually just fig leafs of Zhongyang. It was better to say that they were showing an existence rather than guarding Gubeikou.
"Japanese Ambassador Akihito Akira has protested to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, protesting against the abnormal mobilization of the North China military, which hindered the mutual trust between China and Japan." He said lightly.
"Our own army and our own territory are training, so how can they get their turn to point fingers?" Yang Feng said with disdain.
Zhu Peide thought to himself that you were standing and talking without a pain in your back, and knew that they would not come to you to protest. Of course, you could speak so easily.
"Always pay attention to some influence. After all, peace between the two countries is hard-won now. It is better to avoid conflicts as much as possible!" He said bitterly.
In fact, he conveyed this to the bald man. Please ask Mr. Yang Feng to do something! The Japanese didn't mess with you, and you just got fucked hard, so you can't let others vent their resentment.
"Don't worry about this. You can ask the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to tell Ambassador Ji Ming on my behalf. I am also very supportive of maintaining Sino-Japanese peace. Of course, there may be some small misunderstandings. If they are willing, I am very much looking forward to discussing with the Ambassador how to maintain Sino-Japanese peace with you." Yang Feng said righteously.
Zhu Peide looked at him with a little surprise and said, "Do you want to negotiate with Japan?"
He felt that it was a bit inappropriate when he said this.
"No, it's not negotiations, there's nothing to negotiate between us. We just really hope to invite Ambassador Ji Ming to come to Peking to gather together and talk about the future of China-Japan friendship." Yang Feng said.
Zhu Peide then confirmed that this guy really wanted to negotiate with the Japanese.
"Yes, I will tell you." He said.
First pass on his kindness to the Japanese, and then use his own force to oppress them. This is the so-called coercion and temptation. Seeing Zhu Peide get in the car and leave, Yang Feng suddenly felt that he had some potential as a politician or a politician.
The Japanese naturally attached great importance to the kindness he released. To be honest, they really didn't want to continue fighting. Li Du and the 29th Army and Sun Dianying's troops were a very difficult tough bone. The two sides fought on the banks of the Sila Mulun River for more than half a month. The Japanese army has suffered more than 5,000 casualties, and the situation has not made any progress at all. The difficulty in logistics supply has made Hiraki Ryuki feel that he was weak afterwards.
As for the attack on Doron, it felt like it was even more chewing on the stones. The Eighth Division failed to capture it a year ago, and it became even more difficult a year later. Yang Feng opened a cement factory in Chahar. The continuous cement and steel bars turned this small town outside the border into a real fortress. The reinforced concrete castle stretching across the Chahar border made the attacking Japanese army feel desperate.
However, the arrogance of the Great Japanese Empire made Youjiming feel that he could not be waved by Yang Feng like a dog. So he delayed it for three days before finding a reason to arrive in Peking.
"Amprover, welcome!" Yang Feng had a hypocritical smile on his face and extended his hand to the invited Youji Ming in the Jinyuan Company's warm room.
"Mr. Yang, you have a beautiful garden." You Ji Ming looked at the garden full of strange flowers and plants, rare birds and beasts, and said with a smile.
This was the first time he met with Yang Feng. This guy should be said to be a more inclined toward Sino-Japanese peace in Japanese politics. Originally, in history, he should have returned to China because of conflicts with the military on China issues. Then he replaced Kawagoe Shigeru, who was angry with Yang Feng, but now he is still the Japanese ambassador to China.
"I like to enjoy it more. Since I don't know how to spend it, I naturally don't care much about the price when I encounter something I like." Yang Feng said with a smile.
"Mr. Yang, I heard that you have always been straightforward, so we might as well feel better. I don't think you were invited to enjoy the flowers and see the pets!" You Ji Ming said.
"How do you say it! You also know that I have a good personal relationship with Chairman Song of Chahar and General Sun, the security commander of Chabei. Recently, they have had some small conflicts with your country's army, so I hope I can adjust it in the center. After all, as friendly neighbors with a strip of water, peace is our common goal." Yang Feng said in an emotional tone.
You Ji Ming smiled. The battle of hundreds of thousands of people was considered a small conflict. This guy's shamelessness made him appreciate it.
"So how does Mr. Yang think we should restore peace between us?" he asked.
"This is actually very simple. The main conflict between you is the Northeast Restoration Army. Of course, they did too much. How could they go to Shenyang to destroy it?
However, you should also understand this. You also know that their funds come from the fundraising of the Chinese National Armed Self-Defense Committee, so they must make certain performance. Only in this way can they get more donations, right?" Yang Feng said.
"Mr. Yang, do you think we should be considerate of a group of bandits? Should we take care of the funding sources of a group of bandits?" You Ji Ming said with a funny look.
"Amprovement, I don't think we need to worry about the nature of the Northeast Restoration Army. This issue involves too many things. We should focus on it now!" Yang Feng said.
Youjiming signaled him to continue.
"The proposal of Chairman Song and General Sun is that we may as well cease fire according to the current front line, and your army will retreat to Kailu and Chifeng, while the Northeast Restoration Army promises not to cross the Amulun River and Xilamulun River again." Yang Feng said.
"Mr. Yang, don't you think this proposal is funny?" said You Ji Ming.
"Amprovement, I have not finished my words. In exchange, when your army retreats to Chifeng and Kailu, General Li Du will ask the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces to withdraw from Yanji. You also know that he is also the commander-in-chief of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces. And if your army does not take the initiative to attack in the future, the Northeast Liberation Army and the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces will not attack your army again." Yang Feng said.
You Ji Ming felt a little moved. In theory, this was indeed a good exchange, but the Kwantung Army would definitely not accept it. No one could tolerate two evil wolves lying in his yard, and he was watching them grow day by day.
"Mr. Yang, there is only one condition for both sides to restore peace. The Northeast Restoration Army and the Anti-Japanese United Army must withdraw from the Manzhou State," he said.
"That's so regrettable. They will not accept this anyway. Maybe the next time you come back, you will change your mind." Yang Feng said with a regretful look on his face.
At this time, the 200,000 coalition forces had launched a full-scale counterattack on the Japanese defense line east of the Akamulun River and south of the Xilamulun River.
Chapter completed!
