"Sir! Two days ago, the troops that took over the city of Laiyang did us a great favor.”In an inconspicuous earthen kiln in Yanzhou, the deputy minister smiled and handed a document to the mister.
"Yes! Not bad. Not only did they provide the greatest amount of support to our largest army in the Ludong region, they also took the opportunity to recover the Ludong region's Laixi County and completely wiped out the enemy's 20th Division's Imperial Guards Infantry. In this way, the contribution of the Supporting Country's troops to the battle in Ludong could not be ignored!”After reading the document carefully, the mister couldn't help but nod and praise.
"That's right! At present, the 50,000 Japanese troops of Shouichi Terauchi and the 30 troops of the 5th Battle Area were in a stalemate. Now that the advancing army had recovered two counties in succession, it was bound to affect the morale of the Japanese troops at the front line of Luxi, forcing the North China Army to re-formulate their battle strategy and adjust their combat deployment. This way, our army can strengthen our control over the Shanxi-Chaji base during this period of time.
Of course, it could also give the soldiers of the 5th Battle Area a chance to catch their breath.”The deputy minister expressed his opinion.
"The advancing army has won two tough battles in a row. Did Mr. First from Rivertown take any action?”The mister asked.
"Haha, I knew you would ask this. Comrade Ke Nong from the Changjiang Bureau sent a telegram saying, Dai Li of the National Military Investigation Bureau had sent a Ludong consolation team led by Shen Zui, the backbone of the investigation bureau. Their real purpose was probably to take over the Ludong Iron Army. According to the latest news from Tiger Head Mountain in Ludong, there was no sign of the army accepting the reorganization of the Central Army. As for the specific reason, it was still unknown for the time being. It could be a problem with the organization or a problem with supplies.”The deputy minister reported the latest situation.
"From what I see, the leader of this advancing army is not a simple person! It was very likely that he had seen through Mr. First's true thoughts. Therefore, he did not accept the adaptation. Otherwise, with Mr. First's style of doing things, at least at this stage, he would not mistreat any newly received troops.”The mister said with a smile as he rolled a cigarette.
"Yes! I think so too. After all, the main force of the National Army was still the Central Army, which was mainly from Huangpu.”The deputy minister nodded in agreement.
"By the way, do you have any detailed information about the highest leader of the Ludong advance army? What about the daily relationship between our independent regiment in Ludong and the advancing army?”The mister put the lit cigarette into his mouth and took a deep breath before continuing to ask.
"Currently, we know that his name is Qin Yuxuan. He's not even 30 years old this year. As for the relationship between our army and the advancing army, judging from the current situation, this army led by Qin Yuxuan still understands the concept of national justice. The two armies had the same goal in resisting the Japanese.
Moreover, the advancing army had directly reinforced the weapons and equipment of nearly two infantry companies of the independent regiment. Even when the Independent Regiment was surrounded by the Infantry Guards, they went straight to Tiger Head Mountain to reinforce them after taking down Lai Xi County.”the deputy minister said.
"Not even thirty years old, but he's still quite young!”The mister was slightly surprised.
"That's right! It was very rare for such a young person to have such achievements. After all, the advance army had been established less than three months ago. To be able to wipe out thousands of elite Japanese soldiers in such a short period of time and recover two important Ludong towns in succession, one could imagine their ability. What was even rarer was that this young man also knew the righteousness of resisting the Japanese.”The deputy minister nodded and praised.
"From the looks of it, this advancing army is at least a friendly army that stands on the united front of the entire nation. Since that was the case, it was not impossible for the two armies to join forces.”the mister muttered to himself.
"Sir, what did you say?"
"Hahaha, I was just thinking that since we share the same fundamental goal as the advancing army on the national united front, we will not be able to do anything about it. Then, can we try to request a joint operation with the advancing army?
During the battle at Tiger Head Mountain, the Independent Regiment had suffered heavy losses. Their military strength was less than two full battalions, and they urgently needed a relatively stable environment to recuperate. As for the advancing army, although they had temporarily gained a firm foothold in the eastern Ludong region, there would inevitably be some gaps in the military-civilian relationship and the garrison of troops. If the two armies could unite, wouldn't all the complicated problems be solved immediately?”The mister voiced out his thoughts.
" This…To be fair, I think we can try. However, there are too many problems involved in the alliance of the two armies, and even if we have this idea, the advancing army may not agree. After all, we don't know each other very well.”The mister frowned and expressed his opinion.
"There are too many problems. In the end, it all comes down to the issue of command. Our army has always been focused on the national front. As long as we can resist the invaders, it doesn't matter who the commander is. Moreover, we can try to combine the civilian and military forces. The military power will belong to the advancing army, and we will assist the advancing army in handling the civilian rights. As for whether the advancing army would agree to the request, how would they know if they didn't try?”The mister said with a smile.
"Alliance? " Sir, you mean…" The deputy minister said in realization.
"Actually, I've been thinking about this idea for a long time, but I haven't had the chance to realize it. There was no hope for Mr. First, and the other leaders of the local branches would probably not accept it either. As a result, this rapidly rising army became the only target that could be tested. I don't ask for 100% control over the people and the military. I just want to buy time for my army to make strategic arrangements in North China.”The mister sighed.
"I will draft a specific content of the joint operation immediately. As for the personnel issues that will be included in the Independent Regiment of the Advancing Army, it will be left to the general order.”The deputy minister nodded and replied.
"Yes! I think it's fine…"
