I am a wolf warrior

According to this progress, the completion rate of the underground Great Wall will be as high as 80.00% before next year's spring plowing, which means that the fortifications in several key areas still need to be strengthened.

Because the underground Great Wall imagined by Wang Ye not only has tunnels, but also fortresses.

Wang Ye planned to hollow out the main peak of Fuliang Mountain and the four surrounding hills, and build a series of bunkers, making it a strong military fortress.

At present, more than 1000 captives captured by the independent regiment are stepping up construction, but the progress is relatively slow, and the enthusiasm of these captives is still not high.

Of course, the physical strength of the captives is also not good enough.

The reason is simple, the captives can only eat one dry meal and one thin meal a day.

Wang Ye would not be so stupid as to feed the captives. After all, the food of the independent regiment was not brought by the strong wind, but the soldiers of the whole regiment earned it with their lives.

Closer to home.

Ge Erdan handed the dustpan to Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong was filling the dustpan with a hoe when Wang Ye suddenly walked over with a flashlight.

"Regimental Commander." Wang Ye moved closer to Li Yunlong and said, "There is news from Qinglong Mountain that Liang Gang, the brigade commander of the 94th Brigade, has just arrived, and he has become a popular candidate as soon as he arrives."

"Really?" Li Yunlong wiped his sweat with a towel.

He asked again, "What the hell did you do?"

Wang Yedao: "He used the pretext of holding a meeting to gather all the battalion-level officers of the original 94th Division, and after that, he selected a group of officers from the Central Military Academy's teaching corps and promoted them to be regimental and battalion commanders. The positions of the class chief officers of the lower platoons have all been replaced by key veterans from the Central Military Academy's teaching corps."

"Damn, this is a ruthless character." Li Yunlong became alert instantly.

"There is one more thing that you will never think of, commander." Wang Ye said, "The reason why Liang Gang executed Zhang Wenjie and other officers of the 94th Division was that they exploited the people and shook the foundation of the national government."

"There is such a thing?" Li Yunlong said in surprise, "Such Kuomintang officers are rare."

Wang Ye went on to say: "The people in Qinglong Mountain now speak highly of Liang Gang and the 94th Independent Brigade, saying that they are a real anti-Japanese team."

……

Sanduotang, the 358th Regiment Headquarters of the Jinsui Army.

"Tuan Zuo, something happened." Fang Ligong walked quickly into the war room.

Chu Yunfei stood up and asked, "Brother Li Gong, take your time, are the devils going to invade our defense zone?"

"Devil? Oh no." Fang Ligong waved his hand and said, "It's the 94th Independent Brigade in the north that has a problem. Brigadier Liang sang a song about running the army with an iron fist as soon as he got off the car. Zhang Wenjie, the deputy commander of the 94th Independent Brigade, and Duan Rongqing and more than a dozen regimental and battalion commanders were arrested and executed, and the company commanders, platoon leaders and even squad leaders were replaced.”

"Hmph." A look of emotion flashed across Chu Yunfei's face.

"It seems that he is still the familiar brother Tie Feng in my memory!"

"Brother Tie Feng?" Fang Ligong asked puzzled, "Why are you called Brother Tie Feng?"

Chu Yunfei said: "In ancient times, it was not easy to make steel. Steel was only wrapped on the edge of the weapon, so steel was called Tiefeng.

Fang Ligong said: "This person's character is really as sharp as steel."

"Although steel is strong, it is also easy to break." Chu Yunfei sighed, "Brother Tie Feng has taken such a drastic rectification of the 94th Brigade when he first arrived. If he is not careful, he will easily be taken advantage of by the Japanese and puppet forces. At this time, we need it most." The most important thing is the affirmation and support of the outside world, so, Brother Ligong, you immediately have people prepare one hundred thousand French currency, 20 catties of miscellaneous grains, one thousand rifles and a base amount of ammunition."

……

At the same time, the Headquarters of the World War II Zone in Qiulin Town, northern Shaanxi.

Chief of Staff Chu Xichun of the Second War Zone handed a letter to Yan Xishan, and said respectfully: "Boss, this is a personal letter from Yoshio Iwamatsu, the new commander of the Japanese 1st Army in Shanxi."

Yan Xishan took the letter but did not open it immediately, and asked, "Has Yoshio Iwasuo arrived?"

Chu Xichun said: "It is said that he arrived in secret three days ago, but there was no publicity."

Yan Xishan said: "So, the press conference must not have been held, and the strategy for governing Jin must have not been announced?"

"Of course." Chu Xichun said, "Without your cooperation, Chief Executive, Yoshio Iwamatsu's strategy for governing the Jin Dynasty may be difficult to deliver. In the final analysis, the chief executive has the final say in the land of the Three Jins, ha ha."

Yan Xishan felt very comfortable hearing such obvious flattery.

As he got older, Yan Xishan no longer had the determination to forge ahead when he was young, and began to like to listen to such flattery.

The Japanese Army Special High School is also very clear about this, so Yoshio Iwamatsu's personal letter to Yan Xishan is also very respectful and even flattering.

Sincerely, Your Excellency Yan Gong Xishan:

Looking back at the heyday of the Beiyang School,

When I was serving as an assistant officer to Sakanishi Rihachiro's advisor as a young general,

Because I visited you once or twice in Beijing, I was very honored to meet you, and I still have a fresh memory of your demeanor...

... As your Excellency already knew, besides being buried in vain for Chang Kaishen's foolish strategy, what other gains can there be?I beg Yan Gong to calmly observe the changes in the situation of the world war and the prosperity of Japan, and finally make the most wise choice.

Yoshio Iwamatsu worshiped.

After reading Yoshio Iwamatsu's autographed letter, Yan Xishan instantly felt a little overwhelmed.

What could be more gratifying than the affirmation of the most powerful enemy?This is a personal letter written by Yoshio Iwamatsu, the new commander of the Japanese 1st Army stationed in Shanxi.

The wording of the letter was so humble and respectful.

At that moment, Yan Xishan handed the letter to Chu Xichun.

After reading it, Chu Xichun was also filled with emotion.

"It seems that Yoshio Iwamatsu still has a bit of insight. He knows that if he wants to secure the position of commander of the First Army, he must have your support, the chief, otherwise he can only follow in the footsteps of Yoshio Shinozuka."

Chu Xichun really dared to say that it was Yan Xishan's credit that Shinozuka Yoshio was forced to commit seppuku.

Yan Xishan didn't deny it, and said with a sigh: "Brother Xichun, Yoshio Iwamatsu's intentions have been clearly revealed, do you think we should talk to them?"

Chu Xichun said: "The humble official thinks there should be peace talks."

After a pause, he added, "There are two reasons."

"First, our manpower and material resources in the World War II zone have been exhausted, and the funds allocated by the central government have not been implemented for a long time, so it is difficult to continue the war of resistance."

"Even if the final peace talks fail,"

"At least it can buy a moment of respite for our Jinsui army."

"Secondly, the commander-in-chief is first the commander-in-chief of the Jinsui Army and then the commander-in-chief of the World War II zone."

"I think that in order to protect the land of the Jin Dynasty and the people in one area from being enslaved by the Japanese aggressors, it is not impossible to consider declaring independence, but the Japanese side must show the greatest sincerity."

Yan Xishan said: "But how should the Chongqing side explain it?"

"Talking to Chongqing is just a way to delay the attack." Chu Xichun said.

"If the Chongqing side disagrees, please pay the amount owed."

Hearing this, Yan Xishan finally made up his mind: "Okay, let's do this."

While speaking, the adjutant Zhang Riming hurried in with the intelligence chief Yang Zhenji.

"Boss, attendees, something happened." Yang Zhenji said, "Liang Gang arrested Zhang Wenjie, deputy brigade commander of the 94th Brigade, and Duan Rongqing, a dozen battalion commanders, and shot them to death!"

"What?" Yan Xishan got up suddenly in shock.

"Are you kidding me?" Chu Xichun said in disbelief, "A brigade commander killed the deputy brigade commander and a dozen regiment and battalion commanders?"

"What is he going to do? What is he going to do?"

Yan Xishan collected himself and said angrily, "Does he want to rebel?"

"Ha, I understand." Chu Xichun suddenly sneered and said, "It's the same thing again."

"Brother Xichun, what are you talking about?" Yan Xishan asked in confusion, "What is this?"

Chu Xichun said: "Boss, haven't you seen it yet? This must have been ordered by Principal Chang. The purpose is to use his Huangpu direct line officers to control this army."

"This is another way of rejecting dissidents and supporting cronies."

"Damn it, this really corresponds to what Yoshio Iwamatsu said."

"Is it really worth it to be buried for Chang Kaishen's foolish strategy? Chief, is it worth it?"

Hearing this, although Yan Xishan didn't say it clearly, in fact, his determination to resist the war has been greatly shaken. It seems that Shanxi's declaration of independence seems to be a good choice?

The premise is that Shanxi still has the final say.

Japan can only have a symbolic garrison.

……

At the same time, the 1st Army Headquarters in Taiyuan.

Miyano Michiichi went up to the second floor with his saber in his arms, looked at the wooden door at the end of the corridor, and felt a little emotional.

When he first came to Taiyuan more than half a year ago, the owner of this office was His Excellency Shinozuka Yoshio, but now, it has been replaced by His Excellency Iwamatsu Yoshio.

Things are different, that's all.

But soon, Miyano Michiichi calmed down and stepped forward to knock on the door.

"Please come in." A voice came from inside, Miyano Michi opened the door and entered, and at a glance saw two people sitting in the living room outside, one carrying the title of Lieutenant General, Yoshio Iwamatsu.

The other one who holds the title of major general is Hua Guzheng.

Hanagu is Miyano Doichi's classmate at Lu University.

"Hanagu-kun?" Miyano Michiichi asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Yoshio Iwamatsu said with a smile: "Miyano-kun, Hanatani-kun has been officially transferred to the Chief of Staff of the 1st Army."

Chapter 279

While talking, Yasushi Inoue, the head of the communications section, knocked on the door and came in.

"Your Excellency, Commander." Inoue Yasushi reported, "Yan Xishan replied."

"Oh, so fast?" Yoshio Iwamatsu felt a little surprised, and said again, "Where is the letter?"

"There is no written reply." Yasushi Inoue shook his head, and said again, "Just send someone to send a message, let us choose an appropriate time and an appropriate place, and arrange for the representatives of both parties to meet."

"Yozai." Yoshio Iwamatsu waved his hand to screen Yasushi Inoue away, and then said to Hanagu Masa, "Hanagu-kun, this matter is left to you to arrange, as soon as possible!"

Miyano Michiichi complimented: "Your Excellency, Commander, is really efficient in handling affairs. It has only been three days since he took office, and he has already entered the negotiation process with Yan Xishan."

"Hey, it's nothing."

Yoshio Yanmatsu was humble on the lips, but he was quite proud of it in his heart.

And Yoshio Iwamatsu feels that the situation in Shanxi will soon change.

Once Yan Xishan publicly declares Shanxi's independence, the Jinsui army will change from an enemy to an allied army overnight.

In this way, the 1st Army stationed in Shanxi can go all out to encircle and suppress the Kuomintang Central Army entrenched in Zhongtiao Mountain, as well as the main force of the Eighth Route Army distributed in Taihang Mountain, Taiyue Mountain and Northwest Shanxi.

Miyano Michi smiled, and said again: "However, I have a small suggestion."

"Oh, Miyano-kun has always been known for being resourceful and resourceful when he was studying in mainland China. Your suggestion must not be simple." Gu Huazheng said with a smile, "Your Excellency Commander and I are all ears."

"Mr. Huagu, I've said too much." Miyano Michiichi said, "My suggestion is that since we want to win over, we should not limit ourselves to Yan Xishan alone, but should expand the target of the win over to the commanders, division commanders, and even the generals of the Jinsui Army. Commander! If necessary, even battalion commanders or company commanders can be recruited."

Yoshio Iwamatsu was stunned when he heard the words, and said, "Is this necessary?"

Hua Guzheng also frowned and said: "If this is the case, the workload may be very huge."

After a pause, he continued, "Besides, if we woo the middle and lower-level officers of the Jinsui Army so aggressively, will it cause Yan Xishan's determination to shake? This will lead to a loss of trust between the two sides?"

"Hanagu-kun, and Commander-in-Chief, you have misunderstood me."

Miyano Michi waved his hands and said, "I don't mean to win over all the mid-level and low-level officers of the Jinsui Army, but just to win over the officers who are worth it, especially those who are more threatening."

Speaking of this meal, he said again: "For example, Chu Yunfei, the leader of the 358 regiment."

"Chu Yunfei?" Huagu was looking at Yoshio Yansong, and said, "Just now, I was still discussing this Chu Yunfei with Your Excellency, Commander. His 358 regiment is entrenched between Anhua and Taiyuan. Being next to Tongpu Road is like a bony throat for my 1st Army, so it should be resolved first.”

"Hanagu-kun is right." Miyano said.

"Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment should indeed be dealt with first."

"The reason why the remnants of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army escaped from birth last time,"

"The main reason is that Chu Yunfei's 358 regiment stepped in at a critical moment."

"But there are many ways to solve it, and a forceful solution is not the best choice."

"The special high school has already evaluated the possibility of instigating Chu Yunfei." Yoshio Yanmatsu shook his head and said, "The final conclusion is that the possibility is zero, which means that Chu Yunfei has no possibility of instigating rebellion at all."

"The evaluation of the special high school can still be trusted, and I also think that it is impossible for Chu Yunfei to instigate rebellion."
