Devil's Army

The major general offered to provide food to Gray Wolf, but Gray Wolf flatly refused, saying that their food reserves were insufficient.

Without food, these more than 2 Japanese troops would not be able to survive until the day their warships arrived.

The Gray Wolves proposed a humanitarian approach by allowing their planes to airdrop food for them.

The major general then ordered the Japanese troops in Peiping to march to Tianjin Port and prepare for retreat.

A Japanese bomber flew to Tianjin Port under the watchful eyes of the First Army Air Force, dropping life-saving food and medicine for Japanese troops in Peking and Tianjin.

At this point, Peking and Tianjin were recovered.

The common people staying in Peking and Tianjin celebrated with their families, banging pots and buckets in their own way to celebrate the recovery of Peking and Tianjin.

At the port of Tianjin, more than 2 Japanese soldiers waited in silence for the warship to pick them up under the watchful eyes of the First Army soldiers.

This battle was General Okamura Yasuji's greatest defeat in the Chinese battlefield. Over half of the 5 Japanese troops were killed or wounded, and the remaining half surrendered in humiliation.

Peking is the birthplace of the Japanese invasion of China, and the recovery of it and Tianjin is of extraordinary significance.

The United States also began to pay attention to this local armed force, attempting to provide them with weapons and equipment to contain Japanese fascism in Asia.

The first contact between the two sides took place in the city of Peking, which was in ruins.

The United States promised to provide the First Anti-Japanese Army with the medicines they needed, chemical materials for manufacturing weapons and ammunition, seamless steel pipes and other supplies.

However, the dilemma they are facing now is that the US Navy and the Japanese Navy are fighting fiercely in the Pacific, and access to China's coastal ports is controlled by the Japanese Navy and Air Force. They cannot successfully break through the Japanese blockade and enter Chinese ports.

Gray Wolf suggested to the American liaison officer that supplies could be transported to Yunnan via the Hump Route.

At present, the entire Yunnan territory and air supremacy are in the hands of the First Anti-Japanese Army.

Moreover, their Yunnan Air Force can increase the intensity of its attacks on the Vietnamese Air Force.

The American liaison officer readily agreed, but was strongly opposed by the leaders of the Nanjing government.

To this end, the United States held a tripartite meeting with the First Anti-Japanese Army and the Nanjing Government in Peiping.

The official representative of the Nanjing government shamelessly said:

"The First Anti-Japanese Army was subordinate to the Nanjing government army. Assisting the Nanjing government was tantamount to assisting the First Anti-Japanese Army."

The Gray Wolf who attended the meeting said righteously:

"We can break away from the Nanjing government's military."

The Nanjing government representative was stunned when he heard this. This was definitely not what the leader wanted to see. He quickly said:

"That's not what I meant. I meant that we can allocate some of the supplies the United States provides us to help you."

"We have been fighting against the Japanese for so many years. Have you ever paid us a penny of the military pay we owe you? Which bullets and grenades did you provide us with when we were fighting the Japanese?"

The Nanjing government representatives were speechless about this.

After all, they were in the wrong, and the military pay they promised to receive was delayed.

And because the First Anti-Japanese Army had its own arsenal, they never considered providing them with weapons and ammunition.

After three days of arduous negotiations, the Nanjing government representatives agreed to make concessions.

The United States will provide proportional supplies to the Nanjing government and the First Anti-Japanese Army.

After solving the big problem of foreign aid, Gray Wolf began to mobilize troops to prepare to deal with the Japanese troops in Shanxi Province.

At this time, the two regiments of the Second Brigade of the First Anti-Japanese Army in Shanxi Province and the Eighth Route Army were still fighting guerrilla warfare against the Japanese and puppet troops sweeping through Shanxi.
