Chapter 184: Fight without bloodshed
Taiyuan.
"Commander, it's done."
Hideyoshi Kusuyama took a telegram and excitedly found Commander Shinozuka and said.
"Great."
Commander Shinozuka took the telegram, read it, and said happily, "Hurry up and send a message to the headquarters."
"Let's just say that with our unremitting efforts, we finally rescued Ushijima Minoru and Uchida Ginnosuke."
"Right now, the headquarters is in a big fight over the matter between Ushijima Minoru and Uchida Ginnosuke."
"We never finalized a solution, but now that the commander has solved it, I don't know how the headquarters will reward the commander."
Hearing this, Commander Shinozuka glanced at Kusunokichi and said, "I don't care about rewards or anything like that. I just want to be transferred out of this hellhole of Shanxi as soon as possible."
"I also hope to continue serving the Commander!"
Kusunokichi Hideyoshi lowered his head and said.
"Do not worry."
Commander Shinozuka handed the telegram back to him: "Once this matter is settled, I will take you with me."
"Thank you, Commander."
A week later, the Eighth Route Army brought Uchida Ginnosuke to Xi'an and handed him over to Japanese diplomat Okamura Ueda.
After confirming that Uchida Ginnosuke was fine, the Japanese 1st Cavalry Brigade in Baotou began to evacuate to Hohhot in an orderly manner.
At the same time, Wang Huzi led the independent division, the 30th Division, into Baotou.
"Commander Wang doesn't seem very happy?"
On the way to Baotou, the 30th Division's deputy commander Ma Tengjiao looked at Wang Huzi curiously.
"Hey..."
Wang Huzi sighed, "Captain Ma, you don't understand. Although we took Baotou without bloodshed, my brothers are not happy."
"They had been gearing up for almost a week, but in the end, not a single shot was fired into Baotou."
"Especially the brothers from Shanxi, they all have so many opinions."
"I see."
Ma Tengjiao nodded in understanding: "Commander Wang, even if we enter Baotou, it doesn't mean there will be no more war."
"Oh?"
Wang Huzi asked curiously, "What do you mean?"
"Haha, Commander Wang, you may not know that there are not only Japanese troops in Baotou, but also a large number of Mongolian nobles and horse bandits!"
Ma Tengjiao laughed and said, "Now that the Japanese have left, these horse bandits and Mongolian nobles haven't left yet!"
"If we want to develop Baotou, we have to deal with these two aspects properly."
"Yeah, that makes sense."
Wang Huzi said with a look of agreement.
At the same time, the next focus was placed on suppressing bandits and fighting against local tyrants and dividing the land.
After Wang Huzi led the independent division into Baotou, Niu Dao Minoru was also taken to Xi'an and handed over to the Japanese diplomat Okamura Ueda.
And received the seven production lines that had been delivered long ago.
Ushijima Minoru and Uchida Ginnosuke returned to Taiyuan under the leadership of Okamura Ueda and met Commander Shinozuka who had been waiting for a long time.
"You two have suffered."
Commander Shinozuka looked at the two and said calmly, "I'll prepare a banquet."
"Thank you, Commander Shinozuka."
Ushijima Minoru and Uchida Ginnosuke were moved.
They thought they would be sent to a military court as soon as they returned, but they didn't expect the treatment they received would be so good.
Of course, if Commander Shinozuka knew what the two were thinking, he would definitely tell them seriously that they were overthinking.
He simply wanted to know the detailed process of how the Eighth Route Army defeated them.
As for the final outcome of the two, they could only be sent back to the country to be tried by a military court.
A day later, Ushijima Minoru and Uchida Ginnosuke were put on a plane and embarked on their journey back home.
"Hey...."
Commander Shinozuka sighed.
"Why is the commander sighing?"
Hideyoshi Kusuyama asked from the side.
"I sighed because the strength of the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi is even more terrifying than we imagined."
Commander Shinozuka said worriedly: "From what Ushijima Minoru said, we learned that the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi is not only well-equipped with weapons."
"The quality of the soldiers and the ability of the commanders are both very strong."
"If we don't gather our forces and destroy them while their base is still weak."
"The empire's strategy on the mainland is likely to fail because of them."
"Then how many troops do you think it would take to destroy the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi?"
Kusunoshi Hideyoshi asked tentatively.
"At least four divisions, plus the full support of the Army Aviation, should be enough."
Commander Shinozuka thought for a moment and said.
"That's really scary!"
Kusunoshi Hideyoshi secretly smacked his lips.
................
Yan'an.
"Assholes, you don't keep your word."
In the conference room, Ivan Petrov pointed at the elegant man and cursed.
"Calm down, Mr. Petrov."
The elegant man smiled faintly and said, "Why don't you tell me why we are no longer trustworthy?"
"We agreed that we would provide you with assistance and you would attack Baotou."
Ivan Petrov said urgently: "Now we have given you the weapons and the production line, but you have started negotiations with the Japanese army. There is no war at all!"
"Haha, Mr. Petrov, don't be in a hurry."
The elegant man soothed her, "As we agreed before, you give us assistance and we will attack Baotou."
"Then may I ask, we have now occupied Baotou, does this count as exceeding the mission target?"
"What kind of?"
Ivan Petrov's face flushed with anger: "There was no fighting between the two of you."
"But we didn't say before that a fight must happen!"
The handsome man spread his hands out with an innocent look on his face.
"But, but..."
Ivan Petrov hesitated for a long time but didn't know what to say!
"Hey...Mr. Petrov, let me tell you the truth!"
At this time, the elegant man sighed and said bitterly: "Although this time, it seems that we took down Baotou easily."
"But we exchanged these for Ushijima Minoru and Uchida Ginnosuke."
"And because these two people go back, our true strength will be exposed."
"The Japanese army will only target us more in the future. Maybe they are already planning their next large-scale attack on us."
"this....."
Ivan Petrov scratched his head, a little confused as to whether this was true or not.
"If the Japanese army intensifies its offensive against us in the future, I hope the Soviet Union will not forget that this is all because of helping you."
The elegant man continued, holding Ivan Petrov's hand, and cried, "When the time comes, I hope you can help us!"
"Forehead......"
Ivan Petrov broke free from the elegant man's hands and said awkwardly.
"I will report everything you said. Let's leave it at that!"
Then he stood up and quickly left the meeting room.
Ivan Petrov soon reported the news he got from Yan'an.
The headquarters of the First Group of the Mongolian and Soviet Army.
"Commander, do you think the explanation given by the Chinese Communist Party is reasonable?"
The chief of staff looked at the telegram in his hand and asked Zhukov.
“Whether it’s reasonable or not, the trouble the CCP will face next will be no less than ours.”
Commander Zhu said calmly: "The Japanese army will not allow a force that can overthrow their rule on the mainland to emerge in Shanxi."
"So, our goal has been successful?"
The Chief of Staff wondered.
"That's it!"
Commander Zhu came to the map and said, "Now is not the time to worry about that. What is the situation of the tank troops? Will it delay the general offensive?"
"Don't worry, it's almost done."
The Chief of Staff said confidently.
