Chapter 210 Make way, let these plague gods go first
"What's wrong?" Since they were all familiar with each other, Fang Shengli put down the pencil in his hand and asked.
Xiao Ya handed him the message and said, "Awen, you should have succeeded. This is the message I intercepted from the Japanese army. The Japanese vanguard in the north has stopped advancing."
Stopped?
Ono and Fang Shengli looked at each other, and both of them understood the same thing from each other's eyes.
Zhou Weiguo is coming back.
For Fang Shengli, Zhou Weiguo's return was a relief. He really couldn't support the independent regiment. Now the Japanese army occupied Chuzhou and was advancing northward. If Lao Zhou was here, he would have asked for a battle to teach them a lesson.
But he didn't dare, for he was worried that if the war started, there would be casualties and he wouldn't be able to find replacements.
He knew that he was not as good as Lao Zhou. Just as Shen Xin said, he was not at that level. He could be Zhou Weiguo's deputy, but if he really wanted to, forget it.
As for Ono's idea, it is more direct.
Now that Zhou Weiguo is back, he can open his business again. Fang Shengli is such a coward, he doesn't dare to lead his troops into battle. He is not as courageous as Zhou Weiguo.
The supplies looted last time have almost been sold out, and now he doesn't have much goods in his hands.
"It's good to be back." They said in unison.
"Don't let them come back." At this moment, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army Headquarters expressed his attitude by rejecting the chief of staff's proposal on the spot.
He wanted the 4th Division to return to the border and return to the order of divisions under his jurisdiction, unless he died.
He had finally managed to get rid of the plague-ridden Fourth Division, so why would he want them back? He wasn't crazy.
After occupying Nanjing, the headquarters was established, preparing to attack Xuzhou from the north and south, so as to open up the north-south traffic and force Wuhan to fight a decisive battle in the Xuzhou area. However, due to insufficient troops, the headquarters decided to transfer one or two divisions of the Kwantung Army to the south.
He did not hesitate at all about this matter, and agreed on the spot, and personally appointed the 4th Division to rush south.
He would rather let this group of people to fight against the Japanese troops in the interior than let them harm the Kwantung Army.
They are such a piece of crap. The heavy artillery they were assigned is now just an empty shell, as they have sold all of it. Some time ago, our people went to inspect and see the tank brigade they were assigned to.
My goodness, we didn’t have a single tank, and they still sold it.
These people were still talking confidently about supporting the economic development of the empire.
Bullshit.
They probably pocketed all the money. Not to mention that their division commander didn't know, without his approval, they wouldn't dare to do it.
Now, this group of people are about to reach Shanhaiguan, but something went wrong here.
The Empire had friction with the Russian border guards on the northern front. They were attacked by artillery. According to investigations, it was grenade launchers and machine guns. The situation between the two sides has once again fallen into the original hostile state since the shelling a few years ago.
The Russians added a division of troops to the border. The place where they deployed their troops was where the 4th Division was defending. A huge loophole appeared there, and it was guarded by less than a brigade.
The troops were somewhat insufficient, so the Chief of Staff proposed to stop the 4th Division from moving south and have them return immediately.
"Do you want those ancestors to continue to abuse me, or do you want them to abuse you?" The commander of the Kwantung Army looked at his partner with a gloomy face.
How hungry must he be to be so desperate to bring these plague gods back?
This time, in order to get rid of these plague gods, he gave them more than a dozen tanks, eight anti-aircraft machine guns, as well as a large number of artillery and armored vehicles.
He dared to guarantee that if these bastards encountered each other, the first thing they would do was definitely not to fight with them, but to sit down and talk about whether they were interested in their equipment.
Damn it. I have always been a smart guy, why am I so stupid this time?
"I..." The chief of staff wanted to explain something, but in the end, he couldn't say a word. What else could he say?
The 4th Division, this troublemaker, has caused a lot of trouble for the Kwantung Army. Even though they have been placed in a remote place, they are still able to find people to do business with. Since there is really no one, they even started doing business with the local people.
If we say that the place outside the Great Wall currently has the most military rifles for civilian use, it is definitely the area under the jurisdiction of the Fourth Division. They sell everything. Some time ago, the troops who went to take over the defense actually found more than 100 guns in a village.
It's simply appalling.
"Don't worry about them, don't notify them, tell them to get out of here right away. Also, tell the railway to give way to them and let them go first. All freight and civilian transport vehicles, stop them. Just send them to Shanhaiguan, and they will have nothing to do with us."
He will never ask for back the things he has given away, let alone if they are to this bunch of plague gods. He can't take them back even more. Whoever wants to go can go, but just don't come back.
The train carrying the Fourth Division Army passed unimpeded in less than two hours, and all the freight vehicles that were originally lined up in front of them also stopped at the station.
Takeshita Shunya was on a southbound train. He was less than half a day's journey away from Shanhaiguan, but the train stopped at a small station.
After listening to Shigeru Miyamoto's advice, he was ruthless and took a few trusted members of his first team to throw shells at the Russian border guards' assembly point. He also infiltrated the area and killed several officers. He even left some evidence to make them believe that it was done by the Kwantung Army.
After doing all this, he left with Shigeru Miyamoto and others, preparing to return to tell the division commander something more exaggerated.
Anyway, the Kwantung Army's secret service had no news about them, so how could these outsiders know where the other party had gone?
Some people nearby couldn't wait and left. Takeshita Shun's status as an officer gave him some rights. At least he could rest on the platform.
Time passed little by little, and as he still didn't hear the train depart, he asked Shigeru Miyamoto to bring him some side dishes and ate them while waiting.
"What's going on? This area outside the Great Wall is already the territory of Manchukuo. The civil movement is related to the national economy, and railway transportation is the key point. Why did it suddenly stop without any warning?"
This... Shigeru Miyamoto really doesn't know. This is a government issue. How can he answer it?
But since the captain had asked, he had to answer. Just as he was thinking about how to answer, a train whistle sounded in the distance.
Influenced by the sound of the train whistle, Takeshita Shun also stood up and walked to the platform to look over.
A train whizzed by, with a very eye-catching banner hanging in the middle of the train.
Takeshita Shun looked at the eye-catching banner, and the muscles on his face kept trembling. After a while, he finally reacted and said to Miyamoto Shigeru beside him: "It seems that we... seem to have caused a big trouble for the troops in the interior."
