(On the night of February 26th, half a month after the robbery of the Japanese military funds in Laiyang, which shocked the Japanese military headquarters)
"Tanaka-kun, you don't have to be so discouraged. The military is only transferring you back to the mainland.”Looking at his old classmate's depressed look, the new brigade leader of the 17th mixed exploration team, Bunnen Keige, who was dressed in military uniform, could not help but comfort Tanaka Jiro.
"Guardian, please don't comfort me. I did not do my job well and even robbed the military funds at the front line of Luxi. I am willing to be punished by the military.”Tanaka Jiro smiled bitterly.
"Although the robbery of the military funds at the front line has something to do with you, all the responsibility is not on you. If it were not for the fact that the navy department insisted on not cooperating, there would be no need to spend so much money on the military funds. Furthermore, Tanaka-kun, you are a hero of the Republic of East Asia. How could the military forget your contributions? Furthermore, we are currently at war, and the few dispatched troops are in desperate need of talents. I believe that it won't be long before you, a Tiger General of Manchuria, return to the battlefield. "At that time, the two of us old classmates can fight side by side and contribute our strength to the common prosperity of East Asia for His Majesty the Emperor.”At this point, Konebun raised his glass and said to Tanaka Jiro.
"Hahaha, when the time comes, we'll make contributions together.”Tanaka Jiro was also influenced by Kappei and raised his glass with a smile.
"Guardian, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't even have the chance to return to the mainland. You and the Prime Minister are my benefactors.”After drinking the sake in his glass, Tanaka Jiro looked at the transfer letter on the table and sighed.
"Sigh! Why would Tanaka say such a thing? You are the hero of the Republic of East Asia and the founding of Manchuria. How can you be punished for the mistake of those idiots in the Navy? As for Uncle Guard, he sent a letter to me a few days before he took up his post at Lidong Mountain. He asked me to tell you that the empire will not forget your contributions!”Bunichi advised seriously.
"Alright, alright. Let's not talk about this. Do you have any thoughts about the robbery of military funds and the security of the Laiyang area?”The topic of conversation changed as he asked about the public security matters in the Laiyang area.
"To be honest, I really can't do anything about the military expenditure being robbed! He had no clue at all. After all, everything that happened at the scene of the Zhengjin Bank was not something that a normal person could do. " As for the public security in the Laiyang area, I don't know what the bandit leaders on Qingfeng Mountain were thinking a few days ago. They formed some kind of national protection army and ambushed the imperial army's stronghold in Nianzi Village. They even took the opportunity to ambush one of our reinforcement squadrons. In addition to the supporting troops, there was also an independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army led by the Gong Fu on Tiger Head Mountain. There were about 1,000 people, and the rest were scattered with dozens of bandits and civilian armed forces.”Tanaka Jiro gave a general introduction to Kawai.
"In your opinion, who is the greater threat to the Imperial Army, the so-called National Defense Army or the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army on Tiger Head Mountain?”Keimei asked,
" Although it sounds ridiculous, I have to admit that, to a certain extent, the national protection army that was adapted from bandits is more threatening than the Eighth Route Army in Tiger Head Mountain!
In a short two months, the Supporting Country's advance troops launched three attacks on the Imperial Army, and each time they caused the Imperial Army to suffer greatly. As a result, two days before the military funds were robbed, I was preparing to wipe out this army. In comparison, the 8th Route Army in the Tiger Head Mountain area was obviously much weaker.”Tanaka lowered his head and said after pondering for a moment.
"Then do you think that the robbery of Laiyang's military funds is related to this unit?”Keibun hurriedly asked.
"I don't think so. Let's not talk about the defensive power of the True Gold Bank. Just the military intelligence alone, how could some bandits who have been converted into civilian armed forces know about it? However, you mustn't let your guard down because of this. As far as I know, after occupying a few villages to the west of Laiyang, this advancing army is undergoing a large-scale expansion. Adding on some of the weapons they plundered from the Imperial Army, it won't be a problem for them to expand to a whole battalion in the national government. If they didn't encircle and suppress it in time, this Ludong lion cub would probably become a huge threat to the imperial army in Dongshan Province!”Tanaka Jiro advised Keibun with a serious expression.
"Ludong lion cub? Don't you think Tanaka is exaggerating?" The guard asked in surprise.
"No! It can be said that I personally witnessed the development of this advancing army. In comparison, the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment at Tiger Head Mountain was not worth mentioning.”Tanaka Jiro shook his head.
"Tanaka-kun, this is the first time I've heard you praise an army like this. In the past, your Tanaka Brigade chased Han Fuqu's Lu faction's tens of thousands of soldiers along the Yellow River! " Now, it's just a civilian armed force adapted from bandits. Why are you…" Keimei frowned and asked curiously.
"Two months ago, I was also very confident. But…the appearance of this group of Lu Dong lion cubs has truly terrified me! Kamei, you must take the matter of encircling this advancing army to heart!……”Tanaka Jiro's weathered face unconsciously revealed a hint of loneliness.
"Tanaka…"
"I'll be waiting for your good news in the mainland. I believe that you'll definitely be able to strangle this cub in the cradle!”As he spoke, Tanaka Jiro raised his wine glass and looked at Konebun with a determined expression…
"Commander! The original 17th Brigade Commander Tanaka Jiro, who was stationed in Laiyang County, had been transferred back to the Wei Nation, and his successor was the former Chief of Staff of the 1st Division of the North China Dispatching Army, Keibun.”On the night of the 26th, in the conference room of the military headquarters, Zhou Weiguo came to report to Qin Yuxuan with an intelligence document issued by Laiyang County.
"Yes! I know. Go and instruct the Recruit Division and the Conscription Division to speed up the plan and give this new regiment commander a big gift!”Qin Yuxuan instructed Zhou Weiguo as he stared at the map of Dongshan Province on the wall.
"Alright, I'll go now." Zhou Weiguo nodded and walked out of the meeting room.
"When we get there, we must seize every opportunity to rise up! During this period, I will help you secretly. You must remember that the future of the advanced army is in your hands! After this is done, I will give you a reasonable identity.”Seeing Zhou Weiguo walk away, a man in black who was hiding in the dark came straight to Qin Yuxuan's side. Qin Yuxuan instructed with a solemn expression.
