Chapter 367 What is this?
On July 16, Hase Aokawa's "Opinions on the Use of Troops in the War Against China" was sent to the Japanese Naval Command in the form of a telegram.
The Japanese Navy attached great importance to Hase Aokawa's combat plan and immediately submitted it to the cabinet for discussion.
However, under the strong obstruction of Prime Minister Sugiyama, Hase Aokawa's plan was eventually rejected.
Sugiyama Gen's reasons are also very good. Now that the Peking-Tianjin war has begun, the empire's center of gravity is tilting towards that side. Changing the battle plan rashly at this time will undoubtedly be extremely detrimental to the empire's overall strategy.
Although Sugiyama Gen's words made sense, in the eyes of Marine Minister Yoneuchi Mitsumasa and others, this was clearly an excuse for the Army not to give up the initiative in the war.
In the end, the two parties, who almost made a move on the cabinet floor, reached an agreement.
If the Japanese Army's war in North China suffers a setback as Hase Aokawa expected, then the battle line will immediately switch to Songhu's side.
However, given the usual urinary behavior of the Japanese, how can they really abide by any agreement?
The various forces that Hase Aokawa had previously contacted quickly began close communication with the Japanese Navy and began to prepare intensively for the Songhu Operation.
For this reason, many resources that were supposed to be transported from Japan to the North China battlefield were intercepted for various reasons and piled up in warehouses at the dock.
Faced with this situation, Sugiyama Gen could only order to increase the supply of supplies from the Manchuria area, determined not to let the navy's conspiracy succeed.
In this way, a week passed in the wrangling of various forces.
So many people mistakenly regarded it as the work of His Excellency the President, and ignored its original author, the "literary courage" of His Excellency Chen Brai.
While talking, Dai Chunfeng said that a star-shaped badge was photographed in Lu Feng's hand.
"Major Ma Yu obeys the order."
Lu Feng glanced at them, and as expected, it was Yu Manli, Zhu Ziming, and Hu Biao. This means sweeping out all your own people.
Dai Chunfeng felt like he just listened to Lu Feng thank him for coming today.
After the worker-peasant guerrillas left, Wang Yaqiao and the others were arranged by the Red Party to sneak back into the city and hide again.
However, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the country is still communicating and negotiating with Japan at this time, hoping to get a clear answer from the Japanese government.
As early as a week ago, the worker-peasant guerrillas were sent back to Jiangbei by Huang Xuchu. Next, the Songhu area will become a densely garrisoned area for the national army. It is too dangerous for a small group of them to stay here.
"Thank you, Virgo."
It can be said that this speech greatly inspired the morale of the military and civilians across the country, and in a true sense publicly demonstrated the government's determination to resist the war.
According to regulations, such medals must be awarded in a more formal ceremony. Dai Chunfeng just took the photo, and his dissatisfaction with Lu Feng could be said to be palpable.
To Lu Feng's surprise, Dai Chunfeng was not very excited after seeing him, he just had a cold face.
Dai Chunfeng pointed at the people behind Zheng Yaoxian and said.
"Zhou Weiguo, from now on, you will belong to Major Ma Yu's "Wind" Battalion, and your specific duties will be designated by Major Ma."
While Zheng Yaoxian, Gong Shu and others quietly looked at each other, Lu Feng stared at Dai Chunfeng for a long time without saying anything.
However, it was too late.
Finally, Dai Chunfeng couldn't help but ask.
"do not know."
It also meant that Dai Chunfeng had completely cut Lu Feng out of the Military Intelligence Investigation Department.
"Where are they?"
On July 25, the Japanese army, which had completed all combat deployments, tore up all the agreements signed between China and Japan since the incident and launched a general offensive in the Pingjin area.
Lu Feng knew that Dai Chunfeng was asking about Wang Yaqiao and the worker-peasant guerrillas of the Red Party.
"Yes."
Five days later, newspapers in Shanghai published the news of "Fall of Pingjin" and "Generals Tong and Zhao of the 29th Route Army martyred for their country."
"According to the order of the Ministry of National Defense, in order to cooperate with the "Feng" Battalion operations, the Shanghai District Special Agent Brigade will allocate a group of personnel. I have brought them all to you."
Only then did Song Zheyuan wake up from a dream.
"You're fine."
After Lu Feng's own men returned to the team, Dai Chunfeng finally called someone out from the team.
Zheng Yaoxian noticed that the veins on the back of Dai Chunfeng's hands seemed to be about to pop out.
It was also at this time that Lu Feng met Dai Chunfeng who was coming from Lushan City at his station in Baoshan City.
In a rare moment of disagreement, the President, despite the strong pressure from the peace faction within the government, formally reached an agreement on representatives of the United Anti-Japanese Front, the Red Party and other forces, and also published the famous Lushan Speech:
"If a war breaks out, no matter how old or young the country is, no matter who is in the north or south, everyone has the responsibility to defend the land and resist the war, and everyone should be determined to sacrifice everything."
Lu Feng looked at the medal in his hand and then put it into his pocket.
In this regard, Lu Feng had no intention of inquiring about the relevant information, so when Dai Chunfeng asked him, he really didn't know.
So much so that Song Zheyuan even sent a telegram asking the troops heading north to withdraw from the Pingjin area to avoid destroying the "peace" situation he had finally won.
"Ma Yu, a major of the national army and deputy captain of the Shanghai District Special Agent Brigade of the Military Intelligence Investigation Department, has repeatedly made military exploits, eliminated Japanese military spies, and made great contributions to the state. I am hereby awarded a second-class Baoding Medal."
However, Japanese diplomats have always been vague and did not make a clear position. At the same time, the Japanese commander in the Pingjin area, Shinji Kozuki, has been using "peace talks" as a guise to paralyze the 29th Route Army.
One day later, on July 17, Lushan.
"Thank you, Virgo."
This paragraph can be called the most famous content in the "Consistent Policy and Position Regarding Japan".
"Thank you for the compliment, Virgo."
When he saw Zhou Weiguo appearing in front of him, Lu Feng's face was filled with surprise.
A few days ago, he thought that Zhou Weiguo's group of international students from the German military academy should have returned, so he specifically spoke to Zhang Wenbai and wanted to attract Zhou Weiguo.
I didn't expect this to be done so quickly.
"Thank you, Virgo."
Dai Chunfeng could tell that Lu Feng's thank you was obviously more sincere than the previous one.
So much so that he took a few more glances at the young man named Zhou Weiguo he brought with him.
Regarding Zhou Weiguo's information, Dai Chunfeng had already investigated it. He had a good background, strong military ability, and a tough attitude towards Japan. He was indeed a good talent.
However, Ma Yu probably didn't know the other person. Why would he specifically designate such a person to join his army?
Looking at Lu Feng's face, Dai Chunfeng did not ask the question in the end, because he knew that asking would be in vain.
Immediately, after finishing the matter, Dai Chunfeng took Zheng Yaoxian and others and left.
In the car on the way back, Zheng Yaoxian seemed to be unable to help himself and asked:
"Virgo, are you going to let him just like that?"
Dai Chunfeng looked at Zheng Yaoxian, and he understood that Zheng Yaoxian was asking himself whether he wanted to teach Lu Feng some "lessons" for not taking him seriously. Dai Chunfeng looked at the Baoshan City Wall that had gone away in the rearview mirror, his eyes narrowed slightly and he said:
"There's no rush. We'll wait until he survives this time."
Hearing this, Zheng Yaoxian also fell silent.
It was only then that he knew the mission of the "Wind" Battalion. He could imagine it with his toes. As the frontline attacking force, the "Wind" Battalion would be in a dangerous situation in the coming war.
A narrow escape from death is not enough to describe it.
It's no wonder that Virgo will always be tolerant of Ma Yu. Isn't it possible that in Virgo's eyes, Ma Yu and everyone in that station are already dead?
"Yao Xian, don't think so much. Taking advantage of this opportunity, you have to help me set up the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Rangers as soon as possible. This is an excellent opportunity for us to expand the society."
The Japanese invaded Pingjin and directed their troops towards North China. Their intention to expand the war was completely exposed.
In this regard, the national government also made a decision to launch a war in the Songhu area to disrupt the Japanese army's combat deployment.
Under such circumstances, Lixingshe also received a concession for expansion. Dai Chunfeng came to Shanghai this time to recruit and organize a force directly under him.
Although war is terrible and dangerous, it is also the cradle for many people to realize their ambitions.
In the station on the other side, Zhou Weiguo also relaxed a lot after seeing Fang Shengli.
The two of them are old classmates and have a very good relationship.
At first, Zhou Weiguo had some doubts when he heard that he would be transferred to such an unfamiliar unit as the "Wind" camp, but after seeing Fang Shengli's condition, he could feel that this "Wind" camp would be a good place. .
After Zhou Weiguo and Fang Shengli greeted each other, Lu Feng walked up to them.
"Battal Commander, when you brought Wei Guo here, are you going to ask him to do something for me?"
Fang Shengli asked with a smirk on his face.
Zhou Weiguo didn't interrupt, but looked at Lu Feng, waiting for his answer.
Lu Feng did not answer Fang Shengli, but asked Zhou Weiguo:
"How much do you know about the Japanese army?"
"Batalion Commander, what do you mean?"
"Everything, the navy, land and air force, from artillery, tanks, warships, to individual equipment, rifles, machine guns, grenade launchers, etc., what do you know?"
"Tell the truth?"
"truth."
"They all know something."
Zhou Weiguo stood up straight and looked at Lu Feng for a while.
He wanted to see a hint of suspicion on the face of Major Ma in front of him.
After all, his answer sounded a bit bragging to others.
But this is indeed true, because when he was studying in the military academy in Germany, through Takeshita Shun's relationship, he had a systematic understanding of the current Japanese army's combat equipment, combat ideas and other information.
However, what surprised Zhou Weiguo was that Major Ma in front of him not only had no suspicious expression, but actually showed a look of satisfaction.
"Very good, then I give the order. All subsequent battle commands of the "Wind" Battalion will be handed over to Zhou Weiguo, and no one is allowed to disobey."
"What?"*2
Zhou Weiguo and Fang Shengli both looked at Lu Feng in disbelief. They both felt that Lu Feng was kidding them.
But Lu Feng was not joking, because he knew very well that he was really not a combat command material, and he had no specific combat command experience.
Although Lu Feng also learned some relevant knowledge during his training at the "Wind" Camp, he was still a novice after all.
He didn't want to be in a period where one general was incompetent and the entire army was exhausted.
Facing the upcoming Battle of Songhu, Lu Feng knew that it would be difficult to deal with it, so he asked Zhang Wenbai to help him find Zhou Weiguo.
Even if Zhang Wenbai hadn't called Zhou Weiguo, Lu Feng would have handed over the command to Fang Shengli instead of using his amateurism to challenge others' expertise.
"What? You don't have confidence in yourself? Or are you lying to me with your answer just now?"
Facing Lu Feng's question, Zhou Weiguo took a deep breath, then stood up and saluted:
"I obey my orders!"
"very good."
Lu Feng nodded towards Zhou Weiguo.
"I would like to ask the battalion commander, you gave me the command, what are you going to do?"
"What? Are you afraid that I will run away from the battle?"
"Don't dare."
"follow me."
Lu Feng didn't explain much and just walked towards the backyard of the station.
Zhou Weiguo and Fang Shengli quickly followed.
In the inner courtyard of the station, Zhou Weiguo was surprised again because he saw another familiar person here.
"Zhang Chu?"
"Zhou Wen? You, aren't you dead?"
Zhang Chu, who was tinkering in front of an engine, was shocked for a moment when he saw Zhou Weiguo.
"Okay, let's wait a moment to reminisce about the past."
Lu Feng interrupted the conversation between the two, and then strolled to Zhang Chu's side.
Only then did Zhou Weiguo notice that there was a two-meter-tall human-shaped object next to Zhang Chu. At a glance, it seemed that this thing was made of steel and felt heavy.
"Zhang Chu, haven't you always wanted to know why I asked you to do this?"
"Also, Zhou Weiguo, don't you want to know what I will do after I hand over the command?"
"Today, I will tell you the answer."
In the shocked eyes of Zhou Weiguo and others, Lu Feng put on the armor made of whole steel on his body.
Then, with the roar of the engine, this heavy steel monster slowly started to move.
"Dong" "Dong"
Those heavy footsteps were like stepping on the hearts of Zhou Weiguo and the others.
This, this, this, what is this?
