Chapter 14
Changchun, Kwantung Army Headquarters.
Kwantung Army Commander Hishikari Takashi and Chief of Staff Koiso Kuniaki listen to the report of the Chief of Intelligence Staff Section 2 Seiichi Kita
"Are you saying that the Chinese troops in Chengde are not the Northeast Army?"
Kitama nodded and said,"According to the news from North China, even Zhang Hanqing was very confused about the appearance of this army.
Our personnel lurking among other warlords have not found out the origin of this army.
They are very mysterious, as if they appeared suddenly.
But their equipment is very advanced, and I don't know which country provided it."
After hearing this, the two bigwigs of the Kwantung Army looked at each other.
Koiso Kuniaki said thoughtfully:"No matter which country is supporting it behind the scenes, this Chinese army must be eliminated.
Only by taking Chengde can we take Rehe, and then take Chahar, and prepare for the future northward advance."
Northward advance is the strategy of the entire army.
Only by taking Chahar, which borders Mengyuan, can we further plan.
"But this Chinese army is not simple."
Koiso Kuniaki continued:"If you want to destroy them, you must send a strong enough force.
I suggest sending the main force of the 8th Division, and this group of Chinese has a large number of heavy artillery.
Send a heavy artillery regiment to support the battle."
The Eighth Division is responsible for the battle in the southern part of Rehe and is also the most powerful unit. It is also the safest to dispatch the Eighth Division to encircle this mysterious unit in Chengde.
However, this will also affect the battles in other areas.
But now they have no better choice.
The commander of the Kwantung Army, Hishikari Takashi, nodded and agreed to Koiso Kuniaki's battle plan.
He served as the commander of the Eighth Division in 1924.
He knew how strong the combat effectiveness of the Hirosaki Division was.
Soon, an order arrived directly at the headquarters of the Eighth Division.
At this moment, the people inside the pass were also shocked by Jiang Fan's fierce record.
After the outbreak of the Battle of the Great Wall, Rehe gathered more than 200,000 troops.
There was such a big commotion in Chengde, they couldn't have been unaware.
Within a few days, a Japanese brigade of thousands of people was wiped out.
You must know that this mixed 14th Brigade had been chasing them for more than 100,000 people before.
This fierce record shocked many people, even the chairman was alarmed.
"Is this person a subordinate? How could he be so brave?"
"Chairman, we only know that this person is named Jiang Fan, and his origins have not been found out.
However, their weapons and equipment are very advanced.
After Tang Yulin took the initiative to evacuate, he led his troops to occupy Chengde, and then fought fiercely with the Japanese brigade and annihilated it."
The chairman narrowed his eyes and continued to ask:"If you can't find out about the people, can't you find out about their equipment? So many cannons, it's impossible for them to fall from the sky, right?"
Boss Dai lowered his head slightly and said:"It's my fault that I didn't do my job well. I really didn't find out about their origins.
But I guess it should be from the north.
Now only the north has the motivation and ability to send so much equipment to Chengde."
The relationship between the north and the devils is not good.
The Japanese occupation of the Northeast also threatened the north.
So it is reasonable for the north to support.
As for why they did not cooperate with them, but chose to support themselves, how these equipment and troops were transported in quietly, they did not find any traces.
The chairman waved his hand and said:"Then go and find out, but this person annihilated a large number of Japanese invaders, and it is not enough to inspire the hearts of the people without reward.
Send someone to Chengde with a letter of appointment and silver dollars to see if he can find out something.
The main thing is to see if he can win them over.
If not,.......The Japanese will take care of them."
It's just to annihilate a brigade of the Japanese army.
The Japanese army has more than 100,000 troops in the Northeast.
Jiang Fan alone can't change anything.
Not only Nanjing.
North China, Shanxi, Song Zheyuan and others also sent people to Chengde, wanting to contact Jiang Fan.
But at this moment, Jiang Fan was receiving someone. It was the middle school teacher who said that Jiang Fan was still in Chengde, so he came to see him.
This person was nearly 40 years old, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, with a strong scholarly temperament, and also looked very elegant.
"Mr. Jiang's actions are well-known all over the world, and he has become a hotly discussed anti-Japanese hero in Baixin.
I originally thought that the fall of Chengde was a foregone conclusion.
I didn't expect Mr. Jiang to hide so deeply, and even turned the tide and annihilated the enemy.
With Mr. Jiang here, it seems that there is no need for Mr. Lin."
This guy who calls himself Lin is called Lin Shi.
Although he is only a teacher in a middle school in Chengde, he has a great background.
He once enrolled in the Baoding Military Academy and was also a student of Jiang Baili. He was from the same period as the chairman.
In addition to the chairman, there are Tang Shengzhi, Bai Chongxi, Fu Zuoyi and others.
It can be seen that his ability is by no means simple.
However, he saw the darkness of the world and did not choose to enter the official career.
Instead, he devoted himself to studying military theory and worked as a middle school teacher to make a living.
Chengde was in trouble, and Jiang Fan stood up at this time.
This also attracted his attention.
Then a brigade appeared mysteriously and wiped out the Japanese brigade.
Not only did he shock him, but he also aroused a strong interest.
That's why he made this trip.
And for such a talent, how could Jiang Fan let it go? He was also very enthusiastic about his arrival.
Since you are here, don't leave.
