Chapter 355 Zhangjiakou's Devils Retreat
Chapter 355 The Japanese in Zhangjiakou retreated
"I oppose your method!" Jia Guishen protested, "No gain can be achieved without labor. This is the arrangement God has given us. They are poor because they do not work enough. As long as they keep working hard, they can become millionaires. So your minimum living security policy advocates lazy thinking. This is a waste of our donations. The money we donated should be used for the War of Resistance and education, rather than giving food to the lazy people. I will not give them a penny."
"We will convey your protest to the War Zone Management Committee." Luo Baoliang said with a smile, "But first, it is corrected that our Pioneer Army will not collect donations. Our Pioneer Bonds will pay principal and interest on time. In addition, we will pay special funds for these money. If it is collected from war bonds, it will be used for the War of Resistance. If it is collected from education bonds, it will be used for education. As for the minimum living security policy, we have a separate minimum living security fund management and will not occupy other expenses."
"There is another bonus. If you don't work, you will only distribute 60 kilograms of grain a year. Then the grain is replaced with coarse grains, which is less than half a kilogram a day."
"Half a pound? Half a pound is already a lot. Sometimes I only eat one meal a day, and a bowl of rice is enough." Jia Guishen gestured a small bowl the size of a palm.
Luo Baoliang was speechless for a moment. This man seemed to be a young master. He didn't know that the hungry man was hungry. He heard that the eldest man was rescued by the Pioneer Army from the Japanese in Peking. After crying for a long time, he suddenly found a transfer document with a little salty and wet smell in the midsole of the shoe and gave it to the Pioneer Army.
The person in charge at that time did not dare to make a decision when he saw the one million dollars above, so he sent him to the Special Administrative Region. The one million dollars in this era were not as soft as it was later. Even after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Rong Desheng was kidnapped by the spies from the Military Control Commission, and the ransom he demanded was only 500,000 US dollars, which had already alarmed the whole country.
At this time, millionaires can be treated as billionaires in later generations. It is rare for this person to donate so much at the first move.
Meng Xiang personally met him, accepted the donation, and transferred it to him a vanguard army bond worth one million US dollars. After Jia Guishen donated the money on behalf of his family, he wandered around idle. When he saw a bannerman named Na Liu in Peking, he only knew how to walk birds and bask in the sun all day, he couldn't help but be angry with such a parasitic attitude that he didn't work and only knew how to enjoy. Then he came to ask for the abolition of the minimum living allowance policy.
"Uncle San, I have a solution!" Luo Bo, who happened to encounter this, couldn't help but ask advice next to him.
"No, how can this work? He is a guest!" Luo Baoliang couldn't help but smile and shook his head after hearing this.
"What kind of guest? I think he is a spoiled young master, and he has never suffered any hardships. Didn't he oppose the minimum living allowance? Isn't it okay to send him to the countryside in the name of an investigation? I'll send him to the countryside for a month, and he knew what it would be like to have less than half a pound of coarse grains a day." Luo Bo sneered.
"Okay! I'm going to go for a survey. But I've agreed in advance that you will arrange the hardest conditions for me. I'm going to try this low-income policy with 60 kilograms of grain. No matter one month, at least three months, or a year and a half. With my intelligence, I will earn a million dollars again with my hands." Although Luo Baoliang did not adopt Luo Bo's plan, Jia Guishen couldn't help but take the initiative to raise it with Luo Bo's constant excitement, and he insisted on going.
"Okay then! Just send him to the Central Lu District of the Special Administrative Region, it's safer there." In the end, Luo Baoliang couldn't help but tell Zhou Bai and arranged for him to go for an inspection and experience. Since Jia Guishen refused all help and insisted on his own experience, even the bodyguard steward who accompanied him sent him back to report the message, Luo Baoliang arranged for him a relatively safe Lu District and entrusted it to a military family.
At this time, Meng Xiang didn't know about this matter, he was considering the strange actions of the Japanese in Zhangjiakou.
The Japanese set off a decisive battle in Zhangjiakou. But the 38th Division rushed over, but they evacuated. They took away all kinds of property from Zhangjiakou, and directly withdrew from Zhangjiakou, and retreated to Zhangbei area.
This surprised Meng Xiang.
If the Tianjin Japanese retreat was due to internal and external pressure, the evacuation of Zhangjiakou made people feel strange.
"Hasn't the Japanese always been persevering to the end? What's wrong?" Meng Xiang couldn't figure out the Japanese's intentions, but the speed of accepting Zhangjiakou was not slow.
Not only Meng Xiang can't figure it out, but also Jiang Jiang can't guess it out.
The devil gave up when facing the Pioneer Army. How come he fought to the Central Army? Why didn’t the Central Army have the chance to occupy an empty city without such a good life?
Even though Tianjia Town has already bought it, the Japanese attacks on Wuhan that they are about to be acquired have stopped, and the two sides are in a stalemate near Tianjia Town.
"The Japanese are going to attack the vanguard army!" Bai Chongxi judged, "The Japanese evacuated in Zhangjiakou to preserve their strength! The Japanese attacked Huaian on both sides several times but failed. After blocking the Pingsui line, Zhangjiakou's role was much smaller. The Japanese were not sure to hold on until the reinforcements arrived in the face of a division. And they must have a follow-up plan to deal with the vanguard army, so they endured it first. Otherwise, according to the Japanese's character, they would definitely defend Zhangjiakou."
Renumaba, the commander of the Mongolian Corps, was also explaining to Kazuji Takaoka, who was in the 2nd Brigade.
"The Empire has already had a comprehensive plan. On the one hand, the Pioneer Army is indeed very strong. Whether fighting in the wild or in the city, the Imperial soldiers were very damaged. However, Imperial intelligence research also found that the Pioneer Army's insufficient logistics support may be related to their secret transportation channel. Their attacks were very fierce, but not enough for a long time. After each attack, there was a period of time to replenish ammunition and losses."
"The vanguard army has just experienced a big battle this time and may be facing insufficient supply. Why don't we stop them in Zhangjiakou?" asked Kuanzhi Changgang. In fact, when he received the order to retreat, he was relieved.
"The Empire also needs time to prepare for the supply difficulties of the Pioneer Army! The future may be a war, and the Empire will coordinate and organize from all aspects. Moreover, the intelligence shows that the 38th Division has sufficient ammunition. You will suffer a lot of losses." At this time, the 38th Division was indeed very ammunition. With the base nearby replenishment, at least it would be fine after the attack on Zhangjiakou. In this regard, some information was also revealed to the Japanese agents lurking in the Pioneer Army. They originally left Zhangbei to give the Japanese a way to retreat, but who knew that the Japanese retreated without fighting.
"We are not afraid of sacrifice!" Kazuji Changgang said with his head down.
"But the Empire needs you to launch a counterattack from there soon." Renzuoba waved his hand and said, "The Empire's intelligence personnel also discovered a weakness of the Pioneer Army. The area they controlled has expanded, but their troops were insufficient. They have integrated many miscellaneous troops, plus a large number of new recruits, and there are not many elite troops. On the one hand, they can deal with it, but if the Empire attacks them from all directions, they will be difficult to deal with. All you need to do is wait until the reinforcements of the Kanto Army arrive and wait for the unified attack signal from the Empire."
"Hi!" Changgang Kuanji responded with his head down.
In fact, there are some plans that Renumabo has not disclosed yet. He is not very clear about some plans. However, Kenji Doihara has a thorough understanding of them.
"Your strategy of provocation was not successful. It's still good between the Central Army and the Pioneer Army." Sugiyama Moto smiled at Kenji Doihara.
Tianjin lost, and Teraunuchi Shouchi stepped down in disgrace, bringing many bad blames for his failures. As one of the transactions, his faults were reduced a lot. Because he lost most of North China, the empire is now reorganizing and a unified arrangement for the Japanese army in China. He is one of them.
"There is no failure. This trip is worth it. The cracks between the Central Army and the Pioneer Army have been planted. Although the Pioneer Army is tough, Chiang Kai-shek's attitude has been much more relaxed. There will be opportunities in the future." Kenji Doihara smiled and said, "If the Pioneer Army is in trouble now, at least Chiang Kai-shek will not easily help. Moreover, there are other people behind it who want to take the blame."
