Anti-Japanese War: From Becoming Chu Yunfei to Rising

Chapter 349 Famous scene: It’s too late to withdraw! Confrontation at the negotiation table, Lin Canghui’s decision! (Request for subscription)
Shanxi, Linfen.

Second War Zone Headquarters.

Three Japanese soldiers led by Lin Canghui slowly walked into the meeting room specially prepared for negotiations.

The meeting room had been arranged in advance.

There are no green plants, nothing superfluous, just monotony.

The most conspicuous.

It is the large-scale battle map hanging on the wall that you can see as soon as you enter the door.

This clearly defines the current strategic situation between the enemy and us.

And three red arrows pointed directly at Longcheng and the 20th Division stationed in the Longcheng area.

"Commander Yan will be here shortly."

"Yoshi, Arigato."

Lin Canghui bowed slightly to show his respect.

To sacrifice greater principles for the sake of smaller gifts.

This country is just so strange.

The Yamato people are such a strange people.

There is a hint of pettiness everywhere.

Yan Laoxi sent people to "make peace" with the Japanese and have secret talks with them, and he also knew to send people with some small gifts.

After this group of Japanese devils came to the Second War Zone, they didn't even give a hair.

It would be strange if we could treat the Japanese well.

For Lin Canghui and others.

This had brought them to their third day at the Second War Zone Commander's Headquarters.

I can see the great Buddha Yan Laoxi.

Lin Canghui has achieved his psychological expectations.

Just as several Japanese soldiers were sitting upright, waiting for Yan Laoxi and others to arrive.

In another meeting room not far from here.

Yan Laoxi was adjusting his military uniform: "Qingbo, take a look, are you in good spirits?"

Chu Xichun nodded slightly and gave a thumbs up: "Of course, this negotiation will definitely gain a head start."

Yan Laoxi waved his hand nonchalantly, and turned to look at Chu Yunfei who was wearing a new grass-green military uniform: "Yunfei, you must control your emotions during this negotiation. At least these Japanese cannot die in my Second War Zone."

Chu Xichun also reminded loudly: "When two countries are at war, you should understand the principle of not killing envoys."

Chu Yunfei smiled and nodded, indicating that he heard it.

Before today, Yan Laoxi had already reminded him.

They were afraid that he would kill all those devils during the negotiations.

Chu Xichun had already figured out Lin Canghui's intentions. He reminded him, "Lin Canghui's bottom line should be to ensure the safety of the 20th Division's soldiers. The Japanese army does intend to continue to draw combat troops from the Kwantung Army to supplement the North China region."

"It is absolutely impossible to withdraw troops. The Soviets are also eyeing the Northeast region. If they have the chance, they will attack the Japanese without hesitation in the name of helping the Republic of China."

"It's easy to invite a god, but hard to send him away!" Chu Xichun shook his head: "It's better not to let this happen."

"Do they want to take all the weapons and equipment away?" asked Yan Laoxi.

Chu Xichun nodded: "Yes, they are willing to guarantee that they will no longer actively attack the Jinzhong and Jinnan areas in the future, on the premise that the 20th Division can evacuate the Longcheng area as a whole. The Japanese army seems to have considered that we no longer have the ability to attack."

"Guarantee, what can they guarantee?" Yan Laoxi snorted disdainfully: "Few of these Japanese are honest. Yunfei, did you expect the Japanese army to take the initiative to ask for peace talks?"

Chu Yunfei nodded: "I have considered it, but I didn't expect the conditions they proposed were so unreasonable."

Walk out of the room.

Chu Yunfei and Chu Xichun followed closely behind.

However, the three did not go directly to the meeting room where they had an appointment with Lin Canghui, but came to a small meeting room on the other side, where Lin Wei and others had been waiting for a long time.

obviously.

Yan Laoxi and his companions just wanted to deliberately leave these Japanese devils out for a treat.

This is also the most commonly used in negotiations.

It is also one of the very useful techniques.

As for the conversation with Lin Wei, it was basically just small talk.

Not much useful information.

It looks like a routine matter.

It didn't seem like he came here with a mission, and the conversation was indirect.

Yan Laoxi and Chu Yunfei also indirectly revealed some information about the situation in Shanxi Province.

Help Lin Wei better analyze the current situation between the enemy and us.

Yan Laoxi and others obviously underestimated Lin Canghui's patience.

Even if you just sit there drinking tea and sitting there for two hours.

Lin Canghui still did not show any impatience.

This made Yan Laoxi and his colleagues somewhat unsure of the Japanese army's attitude.

Chu Xichun even said, "Could it be that the Japanese want to use the negotiation as an excuse to withdraw troops to help the 20th Division?"

If troops are withdrawn.

The Japanese army had few options, only the Kwantung Army and some combat units originally assigned to the South China region.

But it doesn't matter whether it is the Kwantung Army or the army troops prepared for fighting in South China.

In essence, this is unacceptable to the Japanese army. Once they are withdrawn, it will be difficult to maintain the current strategic situation.

If the Japanese army is mobilized domestically, it currently does not have excessive war reserves.

Even the Germans "donated" some of it.

It is also difficult to meet the current needs of the Japanese army.

After all, what Germany donated were only some fighter planes and a small number of engines, and no light weapons.

At this point in time, it was no problem for the Japanese army to import industrial raw materials.

But if you want to purchase large quantities of arms, no country will continue to sell them to you.

This means.

In fact, the Japanese army did not have the ability to mobilize quickly.

Chu Yunfei denied it out loud: "It's unlikely. With the Japanese army's current war mobilization capabilities, it will take at least six months to form a force to relieve Shanxi, unless they are really willing to continue to withdraw the Kwantung Army from the Northeast, which would be more like suicide for the Japanese army."

"In my opinion, the Japanese army is likely to choose to abandon Shanxi and start a new round of war mobilization at home, and recruit more puppet troops and locust-association troops in North China to support this protracted war."

Chu Xichun sighed, seeming a little disappointed: "The only regret is that our Second War Zone and the National Revolutionary Army no longer have the ability to launch a substantial counterattack at this stage."

"It's not that there are no troops, it's just that Chiang Kai-shek is unwilling to move." Yan Laoxi snorted coldly: "Why did Hu Zongnan's troops stay in Shaanxi? Can't so many troops be used to fight the Japanese?"

"You're just occupying the toilet but not doing anything." Chu Yunfei shook his head helplessly. He knew in his heart that these two people were actually saying this to him.

Old Yan nodded with satisfaction: "It's true, it's about time, let's go over and take a look."

"Yes!"

In the conference room.

Hearing the footsteps, Lin Canghui slowly opened his eyes.

He waited for nearly three hours.

With a trace of fatigue in the corners of his eyes, he looked down at the watch on his hand again.

Wow, I waited for three hours.

At the beginning, Lin Canghui would ask about the situation.

After waiting for more than an hour.

The attitude of the officer who led the way already made Lin Canghui a little worried.

The Second War Zone does not seem to be enthusiastic about this negotiation.

Since I have already waited for an hour, I don’t mind waiting any longer.

Lin Canghui simply closed his eyes.

I simulated this meeting with Yan Laoxi countless times in my mind.

Even every detail of the agreement needs to be discussed.

It has all gone through my mind more than three times.

And followed closely by the sound of clanging footsteps.

Cang Hui noticed something was wrong.

"Commander Yan is here..."

The three young men, led by Lin Canghui, slowly stood up to show their respect.

Follow the direction of the sound.

The first person Lin Canghui saw was the commander whom he didn't want to see on this occasion - Chu Yunfei!
The number one enemy of the North China Front Army, the executioner, the bloody butcher, the cold-blooded man!
Based on intelligence.

Wasn't he hospitalized?
how so.
The three Japanese soldiers looked at each other and exchanged glances.

Obviously, there was some degree of error in their intelligence.

Make reasonable inferences based on this.

Could it be that even the news that Chief of Staff Fang Ligong was injured was false?
Otherwise, how could Commander Motojiro Taniguchi of the 108th Division have suffered such heavy losses in the Battle of Lin County?
Lin Canghui's pupils shrank slightly.

What is fake must also be real.

He is the one responsible for the intelligence, if anything goes wrong.

He is the first one to be held accountable!
The thought of this.

Lin Canghui returned to normal, with a smile on his face, he stepped forward and shook hands with Yan Laoxi.

Yan Laoxi seemed to be trying hard to hold back his irritation: "Lin Canghui."

After shaking hands, he immediately took off his white gloves in front of Lin Canghui and threw them on the ground beside him.

Seeing this move, Lin Canghui's eyebrows jumped: "Is this how your department treats guests? This is really rude."

The Japanese translator standing by also imitated Lin Canghui's tone and conveyed Lin Canghui's attitude in a stiff manner.

Although I know that this negotiation is unlikely to go smoothly.

But after being intimidated, he was insulted to his face.

Lin Canghui is not without temper.

As the negotiating representative of the North China Front Army, he represented the North China Front Army.

If you don't express your opinion at this time.

There is no need to continue this negotiation.

Yan Laoxi seemed to have not heard Lin Canghui's protest at all, and said, "Lin Canghui, what are you doing in my Second War Zone this time?"

Why?
You have already talked with your chief of staff for three days, why are you acting dumb now?
He suppressed the rage burning in his chest.

Lin Canghui snorted coldly, sat back on the chair, and then slowly said: "We are here to discuss the ownership of Longcheng and the surrounding areas on behalf of the North China Front Army."

Yan Laoxi spoke slowly, his expression as usual, calm: "Is there anything else to discuss about the ownership issue?"

Chu Yunfei just felt it was a little strange.

Talking about withdrawal, surrender, and even the secret signing of a non-aggression treaty all seemed like normal negotiations.

Now Lin Canghui is discussing the ownership of Longcheng and surrounding areas.

So what else is there to talk about?
When Chu Yunfei looked at Lin Canghui.
It was like he was looking at a fool, and he felt that this little devil was wasting his precious time.

Lin Canghui's suppressed anger was ignited again. He took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and then slowly emphasized: "Dragon City and the surrounding areas are still stationed with 24,000 army warriors from our great Japanese brother country."

"Then what?" Yan Laoxi knocked on the table and asked bluntly: "What I mean is, you think these 24,000 people are enough to hold the area around Longcheng, and our Second War Zone can't take these 24,000 people?" Lin Canghui nodded: "You don't want to hand over Shanxi to the Shancheng government because of the heavy losses caused by fighting with the locust army of your brother country, right?"

Yan Laoxi waved his hand to signal Lin Canghui that there was no need to say anything more. He pointed to Chu Yunfei, who was wearing the uniform of the Central Army beside him and said, "You are in charge of intelligence. I guess you should know this person, right?"

Lin Canghui glanced at Chu Yunfei and nodded: "Of course."

Yan Laoxi asked again: "Do you know what this military uniform means?"

Lin Canghui looked embarrassed and nodded slowly: "Understood."

How could you not know?
This uniform is the color of the Central Army.

Wearing this military uniform actually means that Chu Yunfei is from the central army, not the local army or the Jin army.

Chu Yunfei's attitude, in a certain sense, represents the attitude of the Military Commission and Chang Ruiyuan.

"Are you planning to give up Shanxi, which you have been managing for decades?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Laoxi said slowly: "Even if all the soldiers of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army wear this grass-green uniform, what does it matter?"

Chu Yunfei was wearing the uniform of the Central Army.

Still on such an occasion.

obviously.

What Yan Laoxi wanted to express was that even if Shanxi really reached a substantive unification with the mountain city.

So what?

He firmly believed in his heart that the person with the most military achievements today was none other than Chu Yunfei.

He is from Shanxi, a leader of the Jin army and a pioneer of the younger generation!
Who can shake the status of these young people in the hearts of the people and in the National Revolutionary Army?

The Japanese can't deal with Chu Yunfei
If Chang Ruiyuan dares to go against the norm, it would be tantamount to betraying the people and the teachings of the late Prime Minister.

The one who anyone wants to kill is not only Wang Zhaoming, but also Chang Ruiyuan!

"You are a soldier. I think you should know that it is only a matter of time before the 20th Division of the Japanese Army in Longcheng is annihilated." Chu Yunfei knocked on the table in front of him, signaling Lin Canghui, the bastard, to look directly at him.

Lin Canghui turned his head to look at Chu Yunfei, who had a serious face. Chu Yunfei then added: "If the 20th Division is willing to lay down their weapons, I, Chu Yunfei, guarantee with my personal integrity that our Second War Zone will guarantee their safety."

Lin Canghui's face was also quite serious: "According to our information, most of your combat troops have been killed, and there are also great difficulties in logistics supply. I wonder how many troops the Flying Tiger Army has left?"

Chu Yunfei looked at Lin Canghui as if he was looking at a fool: "Even though most of our combat troops were lost and we encountered great difficulties in logistics supply, we successfully completed the strategic tasks planned before the war.

And we have basically wiped out your 37th Regiment, and on this basis, we have repelled your attacking forces in Niangzi Pass, Ruyuekou, Lin County and other areas?"

"So what?" Lin Canghui looked unconcerned. "War, victory and defeat are common in the military. Commander Chu should know this better than me. A temporary victory or defeat cannot determine the direction of the war. Moreover, your army's losses are precisely due to our attack."

"You don't think your intelligence agents are well hidden, do you?"

Chu Yunfei chuckled, then turned and waved to the officer standing at the door.

The young officer nodded slightly.

In no time.

A staff officer from the chief of staff department was brought in, tied up and wearing a hood.

"Go in... Stand still. Why are you in such a hurry? There are others behind you." The young officer urged unhappily, "Stand still for me!"

He kicked one of the officers on the butt. It was obvious that the young officer was not in a good mood.

Several officers wearing Shanxi Suiyuan Army uniforms walked into the conference room amidst the shoving of the soldiers.

Lin Canghui frowned.

Just from the face, corresponding rank and attire.

It was possible to tell that these people were all their spies who had infiltrated the Second War Zone Commander's headquarters.

It’s available in every department.

Military ranks range from captain to major general.

It was obvious that the Second War Zone had long known that they had infiltrated it.

And these people were targeted long ago.

Chu Yunfei sneered and continued, "As for the telegrams you can intercept, they are actually only the telegrams we are willing to let you intercept.

Our army had already replaced its equipment with new cipher machines before this war.

The new radio code book is not something you can successfully decipher at this stage."

Chu Yunfei spoke slowly.

Xiao Rizi, who was responsible for translation, also looked very embarrassed at this time.

Lin Canghui pretended to be indifferent. He spread his hands and said, "Chu, there is no need to bluff anymore."

"With your current offensive capabilities, it is impossible to capture a fortified city like Longcheng. We received the news before we came. As far as I know, your new batch of American aid is still floating in the Pacific Ocean."

"It will take at least half a year for you to recover your combat effectiveness. Before that, the North China Front Army will have completed the corresponding replenishment of troops and will launch another attack. How will you resist then?"

"With the continuous influx of the Central Army, even if you want them to leave, they won't be willing to do so."

Lin Canghui wanted to seize Yan Laoxi's "pain point" in order to gain favorable conditions for his side.

But at this time, Yan Laoxi no longer cared about these things.

If he really cared, he would not have brought Chu Yunfei to this negotiation!
Seeing everyone looking at him.

Lin Canghui was under a lot of pressure at this time. He pretended to be relaxed and held up the battle map he was carrying: "I can give a condition that both of us are willing to accept. The 20th Division will withdraw from outside the Great Wall, and the North China Front Army promises not to launch further offensives against the Shanxi region."

"Promise?" Yan Laoxi chuckled and turned his head to look at Chu Xichun beside him.

Chu Xichun also had a mocking smile on his face.

Bullshit promises.

These military leaders who have participated in warlord wars naturally know that promises are bullshit.

This was not just a promise between warlords.

The promises made to them by the great powers were basically bullshit.

Yan Laoxi himself is not a trustworthy person.

Naturally, it is even more impossible to believe the so-called promises made by the Japanese.

Besides, he had tried to trust the Japanese before.

The result was that I was badly cheated.

And now, Chu Yunfei is here.

Yan Laoxi already has the qualifications and conditions to have an equal dialogue with the Japanese.

Rather than accepting such an unequal agreement.

Chu Yunfei slowly stood up and leaned forward slightly: "Do you want to surrender?"

"Don't be ridiculous, a ceasefire is the best outcome for both sides!"

Chu Yunfei snorted coldly and spoke slowly:

"On August 8, 27, the Chahar Wanquan Massacre occurred, killing more than soldiers and civilians."

"On September 9, 9, the Yanggao City Massacre in Shanxi brutally killed more than a thousand of our soldiers and civilians."

"September 9, Tianzhen City, Shanxi Province, more than 12 people."

"In the same month, Lingqiu had more than 1,200 people, Gang County had 2,000 people, and Yuanping had more than 200 people."

"Baoding, Hebei, more than 2,000 people, Zhao County, 700 people."

"Gu'an, more than 1,700 people"

"Ningwu, more than 4,800 people."

"In 1938, in Teng County, Linyi County, and Qiu County, Shandong Province, how many of our compatriots did you brutally massacre?"

As Chu Yunfei said each place name.

And they accurately stated the exact number of soldiers and civilians who had laid down their arms and ordinary people they massacred.

Lin Canghui's face turned even more bleak.

obviously,
Chu Yunfei was well aware of the atrocities committed by the Idiots in their army.

Yan Laoxi and Chu Xichun were also extremely serious at this time.

Everyone could feel Chu Yunfei's hatred for the Japanese invaders from his gnashing tone.

Think about it.

This is also the reason why Chu Yunfei's troops have never captured prisoners in combat.

Lin Canghui could clearly and intuitively feel it in Chu Yunfei's eyes.

These brave warriors from our country who are fighting in Shanxi cannot be called soldiers.

But considering it solely from a military perspective, there is almost no possibility for the two sides to negotiate a ceasefire!
Even the local warlord represented by Yan Laoxi.

Under such circumstances, he would never do anything to overthrow Chiang or disobey the central government.

How can we let go of national hatred and family feuds so easily?

Lin Canghui's face turned pale, and he slowly emphasized: "At present, our country's army still has 700,000 troops and 3 million reserve troops that can be mobilized. Commander Yan, if this kind of war continues, it will be impossible for you to maintain your independence!"

There is no point in struggling.

At this time, Yan Laoxi was determined to support Chu Yunfei.

Although I was not able to determine the logic behind it at the first time.

But if we look at it from the current perspective.

The sky is falling.

It was the tall man Yan Laoxi who held on first.

In Chu Yunfei's opinion.

These so-called military forces of the Japanese devils.

And the so called reserve forces are all fucking bullshit.

If we can really stimulate and mobilize this war potential in a short period of time.

The arrogant Japanese would never come to Linfen to negotiate with them.

Chu Yunfei looked at Lin Canghui.

Lin Canghui could directly feel the contempt in his eyes.

Chu Yunfei paused and said slowly: "Now your most elite standing division is surrounded by my three group corps. Do you want to cease fire and negotiate at this time?"

"late!"

"Commander Chu, please don't forget that our army is not without the ability to fight. Are you willing to see the soldiers you personally trained die on this meaningless battlefield?"

Chu Yunfei snorted coldly, his murderous intent overflowing: "I still say the same thing, put down your weapons, surrender."

"I, Chu Yunfei, guarantee your safety with my personal integrity."

"If not, the moment the city is captured will be the day I slaughter all 20 divisions. Think about it yourself."

Chu Yunfei turned away from the negotiation table and took out the pistol at his side.

In the courtyard nearby, those who were confirmed to be Japanese spies and enemy agents knelt in a row in an orderly manner.

Chu Yunfei raised the Browning in his hand and confronted the highest-ranking officer: "Soldiers, you must have backbone!"

"boom!"

There was a gunshot, and then there was continuous gunfire.

Lin Canghui's face in the conference room became increasingly embarrassed.

From the simple communication just now, he has deeply realized the most critical point.

They originally thought that the person who had the final say in the Second War Zone was the Commander-in-Chief of the Second War Zone, Yan Laoxi.

And now, they have reacted.

Throughout the Second World War.

There is actually only one person who can truly say what he means, and that is Chu Yunfei!
