Naosaburo Okabe and Shinichi Tanaka, Chief of Staff of the Mongolian Army, are anxiously waiting for the news.
Looking back from the white snow outside the window, Okabe Naosaburo asked Tanaka Shinichi: "Tanaka-kun, do you think the Sui Army mutiny is true? Will there be any problems in the process?"
The old devil Okabe Naosaburo is still very cautious.
Tanaka Shinichi thought for a moment and said, "I think this should be true."
Naosaburo Okabe said oh, and then said: "Is Tanaka-kun so sure?"
Tanaka Shinichi sighed and said: "The reason is very simple, because Suiyuan Province has suffered a once-in-a-century blizzard, and food supply has become a big problem, and Fu Zuoyi is still a bit of a character. No matter how difficult the army is, I'm afraid They will not take food from the people of Suiyuan, so the Sui army will definitely have a serious shortage of military rations."
Okabe Naosaburo said: "Tanaka-kun, are you saying that the mutiny of the Sui army was due to lack of food?"
Tanaka Shinichi said: "Food is the most important thing for the people. If an army runs out of food, the morale of the army will definitely be unstable! If the commander-in-chief mishandles the situation, it is not unimaginable that mutiny will occur. Aren't there too many painful lessons like this throughout the ages? "
Naosaburo Okabe nodded in agreement, apparently convinced by Shinichi Tanaka, because there were many such examples in Japan's Warring States Period.
After a short pause, Tanaka Shinichi said again: "I just don't know which unit of the Sui Army was responsible for the mutiny?"
"It doesn't matter." Naosaburo Okabe said, "Fu Zuoyi's Sui Army is still very combat-effective. Whether it is the 101st Division of his old army or several new divisions, the combat effectiveness is very strong. Therefore, no matter which division rebels, if the imperial army can win over, it can greatly reverse the situation between us and the enemy in Suiyuan."
Tanaka Shinichi said with deep approval: "Yes, the return of Cai Xiongfei, deputy commander of the Sixty-eighth Division of the Jin Army, to the imperial army has greatly reversed the situation between the enemy and ourselves in northwest Shanxi. The situation that was originally unfavorable to the imperial army began to be reversed, and even more This has greatly eased the security and defense pressure on the First Army, and I hope our troops stationed in Mongolia can also have this good luck."
While the two were talking, the adjutant of Naosaburo Okabe walked in quickly, paused and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, we just received an urgent call from the cavalry group. The mutiny of the Sui Army is indeed true. The mutinous troops are new troops stationed in the camp and town under our control. The Thirty-Fourth Division has been established, and the division commander Li Mingding has sent people to contact General Xiaodao to express his willingness to surrender to the imperial army."
"Yo Xi." Tanaka Shinichi said happily, "Your Excellency, Commander, it seems that the matter is settled."
However, Naosaburo Okabe was still very cautious. He waved his hand and said: "Matsumoto-kun, call Ulanqab immediately and ask the cavalry group to prepare for sending troops, but do not send out lightly!" After a pause, he said, "Let's take a look first. Will the newly formed 34th Division start a fight with Fu Zuoyi's troops? If a fight breaks out, it won't be too late to respond."
Tanaka Shinichi said: "Your Excellency, Commander, is this necessary?"
After a slight pause, Tanaka Shinichi continued: "The Imperial Army is in great difficulty right now, but the situation of the China Army is even worse than that of the Imperial Army. It is precisely because of this that large-scale surrenders have occurred in various battlefields. Even the troops of Sun Liangcheng and Pang Bingxun, who had previously severely damaged the Imperial Army in the Xuzhou battlefield, surrendered, so I don’t think there would be any problem with Li Mingding’s newly formed Thirty-Fourth Division surrendering to the Imperial Army.”
But Naosaburo Okabe waved his hand and said, "Tanaka-kun, have you read The Romance of the Three Kingdoms?"
"The Romance of the Three Kingdoms?" Tanaka Shinichi said a little unhappy, "This is a masterpiece, of course I have read it."
Okabe Naosaburo nodded and said: "Since Tanaka-kun, you have read The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, you should have heard of the saying that Zhuge Liang was only cautious in his life! The reason why Zhuge Liang rarely lost in battles was not because he had extraordinary abilities. Wisdom, but because he was careful enough in using his troops, he avoided many mistakes."
Tanaka Shinichi was silent after hearing this.

"You kid won't take the bait." Fu Zuoyi put his hand on his forehead and said with a frown, "Brother Xu, what should I do?"
Xu Rui took the telegram from Li Qijie. After reading it, he smiled and said, "Why are you so anxious? The show has just begun, and Chief Fu, you are so anxious to get rewards, how about that?"
With a chuckle, Xu Rui continued: "My fans' money doesn't come from strong winds."
"Fan?" Fu Zuoyi was confused, "How come you're eating noodles again, you're a foodie."
Xu Rui coughed quickly and explained: "Mr. Fu, the fans I'm talking about are not the ones you eat, but the fans who used to be fans of Peking Opera in Shanghai and Peking."
"You're a fan." Fu Zuoyi said angrily, "But I'm not an actor."
Xu Rui smiled and said: "We set up a stage here to sing an opera, and then we waited for the little devils to reward us with food. This is actually not much different from the actors. Chief Ye, don't you think so?"
Ye Qijie just laughed, but he didn't dare to take this issue.
Fu Zuoyi snorted softly and said: "Brother Xu, to be serious, little devils don't take the bait easily, so we can't keep waiting like this, right? Otherwise, this drama will be ruined." After a pause, he said again, "How about I let the 101st Division and the New 32nd Division press forward? Should we pull back first?"
"No, sir." Ye Qijie became anxious and said quickly, "The officers and soldiers of the 101st Division and the New 32nd Division don't know the truth of the matter, and the New 34th Division only has a few chief officers. Knowing the inside story, if the 101st Division and the New 32nd Division were to press forward, we would definitely have to fight."
Ye Qijie's worries are justified. Once a fight breaks out, the situation will be out of control.
Originally it was just a fake surrender, trying to trick the Japanese into taking the bait, but don't make it true in the end.
Fu Zuoyi said: "But we can't keep wasting it like this, right? Otherwise, let the little devils see it, hey, why doesn't Fu Zuoyi send troops to suppress it? This is not in line with his style, isn't it just a gang?"
Ye Qijie said in embarrassment: "This is a problem, what should I do?"
Xu Rui chuckled and said, "This matter is not easy. Let's find a few scapegoats."
"A scapegoat?" Fu Zuoyi immediately reacted and said, "A prisoner of war of the puppet Mongolian army?"
After the Battle of Wuyuan, the Sui Army launched a massive counterattack and captured many banner counties. They also captured many prisoners of war from the Puppet Mongolian Army. Some of the prisoners of war had already joined the Sui Army, but many of the Sui Army were still detained in prisoner-of-war camps. When used as free coolies, Fu Zuoyi learned it from Xu Rui, and Xu Rui was the initiator.
Fu Zuoyi immediately made the decision and said, "Just do it!"
…
Kojima Jizo has already rushed to Zhuozi County with the fourth cavalry brigade.
Also accompanying Liu Heiqi's 4th Division of the Pseudo-Mongolian Cavalry, Machida Ryuji also came. Kojima Yoshizo originally didn't want him to come, but Machida Ryuji insisted on following.
A gendarmerie squadron and a puppet Mongolian army regiment were stationed in Zhuozi County.
Gendarmerie Captain Kitani Kazuo and the Puppet Mongolian Army Commander had been waiting at the city gate early.
Seeing Kojima Yoshizo's armored vehicle coming through the thick snow, Koutani hurried forward to greet him.
Kojima Kizang bent down and got out of the car door. When he saw Kazuo Kugu, he immediately asked: "Kitani-kun, how is the situation at the subordinate camp? Has the main force of Fu Zuoyi's Sui Army pressed forward?"
"Coming up." Kugu Yifuhai said, "And a battle has already been fought."
"Soderga." Kojima Yoshizo was overjoyed when he heard this, but he still asked again, "Is there really a fight?"
"Hai, the fighting really started." Kazuo Kiya paused and replied, "This is what the scouts saw with their own eyes, and a lot of Fu Zuoyi's Sui army died. There must be hundreds of people."
"Then it's no problem." Kojima Yoshizo was finally relieved, and turned around and shouted, "Order the 26th Cavalry Regiment to immediately launch an attack formation and attack in the direction of the battalion's flag." There was a pause. , and said to Kazuo Kugu, "Kugu-kun, please immediately send someone to contact Li Mingding and ask them to abandon the camp and flag and retreat."
"Hai!" Kazuo Koutani nodded heavily and turned around.

Zhangjiakou, headquarters of the Mongolian Army.
Okabe Naosaburo put down the phone and said to Tanaka Shinichi, who was looking at him: "Tanaka-kun, I'm sure, Li Mingding's new 34th Division was just attacked by the main force of Fu Zuoyi's Sui Army, but the main force of the Sui Army did not occupy it. It was cheap, and the offensive was disintegrated by the newly formed Thirty-Fourth Division, and hundreds of people were killed and wounded."
"Yoshi." Tanaka Shinichi said, "Commander, you should be relieved now, right?"
Naosaburo Okabe snorted lightly, and then said: "Then a new question comes again. Tanaka-kun, where do you think Li Mingding's new Thirty-Fourth Division should be placed?"
"Of course it will be placed in Ulanqab." Tanaka Xinyi said without hesitation.
Okabe Naosaburo didn't seem to have thought about it yet. He frowned and said, "What's the reason?"
"There are three reasons." Tanaka Shinichi raised three fingers and said, "First, Ulanqab is the front line against Fu Zuoyi's 35th Army. Placing the new 34th Division there can serve as the first line. Second, when the new Thirty-fourth Division counterattacks next spring, it can serve as the vanguard of the imperial army and use them as cannon fodder; third, by placing the new Thirty-fourth Division there, it can also spur the puppet Mongolian army. People like Li Yannian have been a little too slack recently."
Naosaburo Okabe nodded and shook his head and said, "But, Tanaka-kun, have you ever thought about what if this is just a show, what if the newly formed 34th Division just pretends to surrender?" After a pause, Naosaburo Okabe said He added, "If this is the case, placing the newly formed 34th Division in Ulanqab will simply lead the wolf into the house."
Tanaka Shinpa said: "Your Majesty the Commander's concerns are reasonable. You still have to be on guard against others."
After a pause, Tanaka Shinichi suggested again: "Otherwise, the new 34th Division should be relocated to Datong?"
