Chapter 483 It’s not the Raptors but the river
"Mr. Yamamoto, you want to be an enemy of Zongzike, but I'm afraid you don't know how powerful his background is."
When Yoshiko Kawashima said this, she was obviously a little scared.
After being cheated by Chen Yang once, she quickly used the Manchurian Railway information network to investigate Chen Yang's power from inside to outside.
As the investigation deepened, she gradually learned about Chen Yang's background. Only then did she realize how naive she was.
A huge network is not as simple as the logistics officials and black market businesses on the surface.
Among them were local high-ranking officials, senior officials of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and even senior naval officials.
She couldn't imagine how much money Chen Yang would have to spend to keep this huge network running normally.
Some of it isn't even about money.
Because people in some positions don’t care about the sense of accomplishment that a little money brings. The interests they care about are more important than money.
Therefore, even though she knew that Chen Yang had robbed those national treasures, Yoshiko Kawashima still did not dare to act rashly.
"If you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools." Yamamoto Yoshisaburo smiled and said, "Of course we had a plan before we attacked him."
"The president's wife is his trump card. Conversely, this person is also the president's wife's strongest backup. He is the wife's last trump card in China."
"He is like the fangs in the lady's mouth. If he falls, a toothless tigress will not be so scary."
"The local side will try to keep the lady, and my task is to get this Zongzi section chief to stay."
"Isn't this what Miss Kawashima has always hoped for?"
"Mr. Yamamoto, besides his wife, there is also Mr. Fujiwara Nao behind Chen Yang." Yoshiko Kawashima seemed to remember the stern face of Keiji Okita of the Naval Affairs Investigation Department.
If it weren't for the accident of Kawashima Yoshiko, Omura Takuichi would have sent the telegram to the Marine Commander-in-Chief Choya Aokawa, and it would have been several days since her seventh day of death.
"I know all these things," Yamamoto Yoshisaburo stood up and said, "I never fight a battle without preparation."
"I know all of Chen Yang's information, but he doesn't know my trump card. I am determined to win this battle."
"There's a saying in China that goes 'If you're not a fierce dragon, you can't cross the river. Now that I'm here, I won't leave easily.'"
Yoshiko Kawashima hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
"Okay, if you need any help from me, just let me know."
Yamamoto Yoshisaburo smiled, held out his hand and said, "Ms. Kawashima, congratulations on making a very wise choice."
November 4, 1939.
After being interrogated by the Military Police Headquarters, Wu Sibao was eventually shot by the Military Police along with Tian Shenzhi of the Central Bureau of Investigation and a group of members of the Central Bureau of Investigation's action team on charges of colluding with the Central Bureau of Investigation and betraying the empire.
When hearing the news, Chen Yang was a little dazed.
Of course, this was Wu Sibao's own choice. Chen Yang gave him a chance, but he refused.
After Wu Sibao died, She Aizhen, under the arrangement of Chen Yang, took Wu Sibao's ashes and left Shanghai.
Chen Yang didn’t know whether she would return to Shanghai in the future, but that was not something he should worry about.
He had already fulfilled the conditions promised to Wu Sibao, and the gendarmerie headquarters did not hold on to the matter.
Of course, the more important reason is that large-scale battles began to appear on the Chinese battlefield.
The National Government dispatched a million troops from Suiyuan and Baotou in the north to Guilin and Beihai in the south, launching an unprecedented counterattack against the Japanese invaders.
The Chinese Expeditionary Force had already received the detailed plan of the National Government's winter offensive.
However, the Japanese troops did not take this operation seriously, because the National Government had previously organized spring, summer and autumn offensives, all of which were just a lot of noise but little results.
It was not until the war actually came that they realized how wrong they were...
After witnessing this large-scale attack, the top brass of the Chinese Expeditionary Force had a different opinion.
This was the biggest decisive battle in the eight years of the war of aggression against China, and they all agreed that now was the moment for the formal decisive battle between the invading army and the National Government.
Since the Lugou Bridge Incident broke out on July 7, 1937.
In order to force the Chinese government to surrender quickly, the Japanese invaders launched the Peiping-Tianjin Campaign, the Songhu Campaign, the Nanjing Campaign, and the Xuzhou Campaign. Most areas of Central China, South China, and North China were occupied by the Japanese invaders.
Immediately afterwards, taking advantage of the Kuomintang's repeated defeats, the Japanese 11th Army took the opportunity to launch the Battle of Wuhan, intending to completely wipe out the Kuomintang's main forces.
After seeing through the Japanese invaders' intentions, the top leaders of the National Government's Military Commission did not choose to engage in a decisive battle with the Japanese invaders at this time.
They believed that the time was not right and exposing their cards easily would lead to the complete collapse of the War of Resistance.
Therefore, the top leaders of the Military Commission decided to abandon Wuhan, transfer a large number of troops to the rear, and prepare for a long-term war of resistance.
The end of the Battle of Wuhan also marked the entry of the War of Resistance into the second stage, the strategic stalemate stage.
In the 28th year of the Republic of China, in order to force the Nationalist government to sign a surrender document, the Japanese invaders launched offensives against Guangzhou and Guangxi, intending to cut off international supply lines and further weaken the Nationalist government's power.
However, the continuous extension of the battle line also led to many management loopholes of the Japanese invaders.
In order to further consolidate the results of their invasion of China, the Japanese invaders stopped expanding blindly.
However, since the resources on the Chinese battlefield could not sustain their own consumption, the Japanese invaders formulated a plan to advance northward, intending to obtain a large amount of support by opening up new territory.
Unfortunately, in the two battles of Nomonhan and Zhanggufeng, the Japanese invaders were defeated by the First Army led by Zhukov.
In desperation, the mainland had no choice but to abandon the plan to advance northward.
The successive defeats of the Japanese invaders also gave the National Government hope for the war of resistance.
In November, with the approval of the Nationalist Government’s Military Commission, 120 divisions from the Nationalist Government’s nine war zones launched the largest-ever counterattack against the Japanese army.
What was surprising was that at the beginning of the battle, the victory news from the Kuomintang was not about how great their achievements were.
Instead, it was the Red Party's First Military Sub-district of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Sub-district that killed Japanese Lieutenant General Abe Nobuhide with a mortar at Huangtuling.
Abe Nobuhide was the commander of the Independent Mixed Brigade of the North China Army stationed in Mongolia.
He was also a rising star of the Empire who had just received local commendations and been promoted to lieutenant general in October.
This person claims to be an expert in new tactical command and is extremely good at mountain warfare.
Unexpectedly, he was easily defeated in the field he was best at.
The death of Abe Nobuhide caused great anger in the mainland, and the supreme commander of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, General Nishio, was once again reprimanded by the mainland.
The headquarters believed that General Nishio's ability was no longer sufficient to command the Chinese Expeditionary Force to continue to expand the results of the battle.
In order to restore his image, General Nishio immediately ordered the 21st and 22nd Armies to launch an attack on the southern Guangxi region.
The battle of Southern Guangxi is about to begin.
