I am a wolf warrior

Kong Jie said: "Yes, a total of one and a half battalions of weapons and equipment were seized."

Ding Wei said: "It is thanks to the help of Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang, otherwise we would not be able to win the two largest strongholds, and maybe we would have to lose money on this vote."

"Old Ding, let your kid talk."

Li Yunlong said with a dark face: "We will lose money with this vote."

"Old Li, what a loss?" Kong Jie said, "Can't you? How smart you are."

"Old Kong, it's really a loss." Li Yunlong said with a dark face, "You can occasionally attack devils when you fight in strongholds, but we fight against the puppet army. The puppet army of the Puppet Seventh Division is really different now. Damn, if this is put in the past, as soon as our guns are fired, these puppet soldiers will obediently kneel on the ground with their heads in their hands?"

Wang Ye said: "But now these puppet soldiers are stubbornly resisting to the end."

Ding Wei said: "I also discovered this, the puppet army in the stronghold is also very tenacious."

Kong Jie said: "Lao Li and Lao Ding, if you don't tell me I haven't discovered it yet, I'll remember it as soon as you talk about it. One of my battalion commanders told me that when they attacked the Dingjia Village stronghold, the entire stronghold was worth about [-] yuan." There are less than a hundred puppet troops, not a single puppet army, but their battalion fought all night but failed to win."

Li Yunlong said with a dark face: "So, we eliminated a lot of puppet troops and captured a lot of weapons and equipment, but the amount of ammunition captured was very small, far from being consumed by our ammunition."

Ding Wei said: "Old Li, don't think so, at least the troops have been trained."

"Yeah, that's all I can do to comfort myself." Li Yunlong said, "Otherwise, I'll be pissed off."

Ding Wei turned his eyes to Wang Ye, and said again: "Xiao Wang, so to speak, this false Seventh Division Commander Pan Ren is a great threat to us, do you want to find a chance to kill this traitor?"

"If there is a chance, I will definitely kill this traitor." Wang Ye nodded and said.

"However, planning a beheading operation specifically for this dog traitor is too flattering and not worth it."

"Not worth it?" Kong Jie said, "Xiao Wang, your evaluation surprised me a little. Anyway, Pan Ren, a traitor, has built the Puppet Seventh Division into a force with considerable combat effectiveness. At this point, he is qualified to be the beheading target of your Wolf Warrior Squadron, right?"

At this time, Ding Wei said, "The changes in the Pseudo-Seventh Division actually have nothing to do with Pan Ren."

"Old Ding, what did you say?" Kong Jie said in astonishment, "The Pseudo-Seventh Division was only after Pan Ren became the division commander that its combat effectiveness improved significantly. How can it be said that it has nothing to do with him?"

"Old Kong, it really doesn't have much to do with Pan Ren." Ding Wei waved his hand, and said, "The main reason is that the devil's control strategy has changed. For a long time, the devil has two differences in how to control the puppet army. One strategy is to raise dogs, and the other is to raise wolves. I used to be in the Jizhong Military Region, and the devils there controlled the puppet army with the strategy of raising wolves."

"Our devils in the Taihang Military Region have always adopted the strategy of raising dogs."

"But now, the devils here in the Taihang Military Region have also started raising wolves, at least the devils in Northwest Shanxi."

"Raise wolves and dogs?" Kong Jie nodded, "It's true what you said. The puppet army in the past was a bunch of pugs. Not only did they wag their tails when they saw the devils, but now the puppet army is just a fucking bunch of pugs. They killed a pack of wolves, not only biting the common people, but also the Jinsui Army and the Central Army, even the Eighth Route Army dared to bite.”

Wang Ye said: "Sooner or later, the devils will dare to bite them."

Kong Jie said: "It's better to bite devils, let them bite dogs, and make a mouthful."

Wang Yedao: "So it's really worthless to design a beheading operation specifically for Pan Ren. If you really want to beheaded, at least you have to choose high-value targets like Yoshio Iwamatsu and Neiji Okamura."

"That's right." Kong Jie said with a smile, "It's really not worth it for you to say that."

Ding Wei asked again: "Then, shall we continue this blockade?"

Li Yunlong said without hesitation: "Of course, I have to earn my money back."

However, just after the words were finished, Wang Ye waved his hands and said, "Leader, let's take a break."

Hearing this, Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, and Kong Jie became vigilant instantly, because they knew Wang Ye's character very well, and they would never target indiscriminately. Wang Ye must have discovered it again.

At that moment Li Yunlong asked: "Xiao Wang, did you find anything?"

Kong Jie also asked with piercing eyes: "Xiao Wang, do we have any big battles to fight?"

Only Ding Wei looked at Wang Ye and fell into deep thought. Obviously, Ding Wei had already made a judgment in his heart.

Wang Ye said: "Commander, Commander Kong, if there are no accidents, the devils in North China will definitely launch a wave of large-scale raids in the first half of this year, and our devils in Shanxi will probably be no exception."

"It's very possible." Ding Wei said, "The devils have made a fortune in Southeast Asia, and the domestic financial situation has improved, so they have the capital to launch offensive operations in the Chinese battlefield."

Wang Ye said: "Besides, the main target this time is our Eighth Route Army."

In fact, in the first half of 1, the Japanese army launched frenzied mopping operations against the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army in the battlefield behind the enemy. There were as many as eight raids involving more than [-] people, and more than a thousand people were mopped up. There were countless mopping up operations, and [-] and [-] were also the craziest two years of the Japanese army's security war.

The largest of these was the May [-]st raid on the Jizhong Military Region.

During the May 5st sweep, the Japanese army alone mobilized [-] people, and even more puppet troops were added.

The Japanese army in Shanxi will also launch a spring raid on the base areas in southeast Shanxi from March to May, and the deputy chief of staff died in this anti-sweep.

From the time point of view, this Spring Festival raid is about to begin.

At that moment Wang Ye said: "So, let's take a rest for a while."

"I agree." Ding Wei said, "Take a break for a while, and there will definitely be a big battle next."

"That's good." Li Yunlong grinned, and said, "It's either a sparrow war, a land mine war, or a tunnel war. Each time the scale is only a few hundred people, my regiment leader is about to be idle. Come on, if I don't find a big battle to fight, loosen my muscles and bones, I will almost be unable to walk."

Kong Jie smiled and said, "Lao Li, your face seems to be bigger than before."

It happened that Yang Xiuqin came in with a large bowl of bacon, and said with a smile, "Xiuqin, what did you give Lao Li?"

There was nothing wrong with Kong Jie's question, but Yang Xiuqin didn't know what they were talking about just now, and thought that some old comrades were talking about men's topics again, and her face turned red.

Because during the recent period, Xiuqin did often give Li Yunlong extra meals at night.

Li Yunlong laughed and said: "What does Xiuqin give me, can I tell you Kong Er's idiot?"

Now Xiuqin's face turned even redder, and she pinched Li Yunlong's arm vigorously, but Li Yunlong didn't care at all, this level was just tickling for him.

Li Yunlong said again: "Let's talk about it when you marry a wife, haha."

Now Kong Jie is in a bad mood, what are you so proud of?Isn't it just a few days before our old Kong married a daughter-in-law?Later, I will also marry a daughter-in-law, who is stronger than Xiuqin of your family.

……

Prime Minister's Residence in Tokyo.

Although it hasn't been long since he became prime minister, Hideki Tojo's prestige has reached its peak.

The reason is also very simple, because the Japanese navy and army have won big victories one after another.

First, the Navy's United Fleet gambled on the country's luck, severely damaged the Pacific Fleet of the Chinese Navy, and completely controlled the entire Western Pacific and Southeast Asian waters.

Immediately afterwards, the army swept across Southeast Asia and opened up thousands of miles of territory.

Not counting the sea area, the land area of ​​the invasion and war in the past three months alone has reached more than 400 million square kilometers.

What is this concept?This is equivalent to the Japanese army occupying ten Japan in less than three months!

So in the recent period, Hideki Tojo's sense of existence has even surpassed that of Emperor Hirohito, and the people in Tokyo and even all of Japan are discussing Hideki Tojo's wisdom and determination.

All of this is the great glory that Hideki Tojo brought to Japan after he became prime minister.

However, after a period of sincere cooperation, the Japanese navy and army began to hold back.

The Japanese navy wants to concentrate its superior forces and continue to fight large-scale naval battles, to find and annihilate the navies of the Yin and Piao countries.

The Japanese navy is even planning to completely occupy the Hawaiian Islands, completely control the eastern Pacific Ocean, and attack the west coast of the beautiful country, destroying ports and shipyards such as Los Angeles and San Francisco.

This is undoubtedly a large-scale expedition, and it is foreseeable that the cost will be huge.

However, the Japanese army hopes that the navy will maintain the current situation, eliminate the beautiful Chinese submarines that are attacking merchant ships everywhere, and at the same time assist the army to take Burma, so as to completely cut off the communication channel between China and the outside world.

The two sides quarreled endlessly, and finally reached the prime minister's residence of Hideki Tojo.

Although Hideki Tojo is the prime minister, he was born in the army, so of course his heart is towards the army.

"Your Majesty Fushimi Palace." Tojo Hideki said to Fushimi Gong Hirakasu, the Commander of the Japanese Navy, with a serious face, "We had an agreement at the beginning."

"Our army is fully cooperating with your navy on the Pacific battlefield."

"But your navy also assists the army on the battlefield in Southeast Asia."

"Now is the time for your navy to fulfill its promise. I hope your navy can mobilize its transportation capacity as soon as possible to transport the spoils captured by the army on the Southeast Asian battlefield back to the mainland, especially the weapons and equipment seized from the Yin army and the Piao army. It can be transported back to the mainland, or transported to the battlefield in China."

Seeing that Fushimi Gong Hiroko was still hesitant, Tojo Hideki said again: "Your Majesty Fushimi Palace, you must understand that the Eastern Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean are too far away from the mainland of the empire, and there is no core interest of the empire there. The interests are always in the Far East, in the Western Pacific, in Southeast Asia."

"What's more, your navy's arms are so long. Even if you seize the Eastern Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, our army may not be able to help your navy defend the territory, so please give priority to ensuring the vested interests of Southeast Asia."

"Okay." Fushimi Gong Hiroshi finally nodded, "I will send the navy to protect the merchant ships and ensure the safety of the shipping lanes from Southeast Asia to the mainland of the empire and the coast of China."

Hideki Tojo nodded heavily: "Please."

"Hayi." Fushimi Gong Bogong slightly bowed, turned around and walked away.

As soon as Hideki Tojo saw off Fushimi Gong Hiroko, the secretary reported that the Chief of the Army General Staff Moto Sugiyama was visiting.

After a while, Moto Sugiyama was invited into Hideki Tojo's reception room. After the two parties met, Moto Sugiyama said, "Your Excellency, Mr. Okamura has sent a telegram again."

Tojo Hideki said: "Is it for combat supplies?"

"Yes." Sugiyama Motodao, "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, tell me the truth, how much combat supplies can you provide to the Chinese troops? I can also answer Okamura-kun."

Hideki Tojo said: "Mr. Sugiyama, although the Southern Army has seized a lot of spoils from the Southeast Asian battlefields, nearly a thousand tons of gold alone, but the empire's financial debts in the past two years are really too much. One thousand tons Ton of gold is not enough to completely fill this huge hole."

Sugiyama Moto said: "Didn't they also seize a large amount of strategic materials? Crude oil, rubber, scrap iron and steel, these are all valuable strategic materials, and they can also be used to fill the holes in the empire's finances? They can also be used directly to produce imperial treasures. For the weapons and equipment urgently needed by the army, at least the mountain artillery regiment of the three-unit field division after the number fifty should be equipped?"

"Sugyama-kun, don't be in a hurry, I didn't say no." Hideki Tojo waved his hand and said, "I mean, although the empire's finances have improved this year, we can't forget the past just because we have a surplus. so I hope that all frontline troops can save a little bit, improve a little bit of efficiency, and don't cause waste."

"I will tell you about this." Moto Sugiyama nodded, and then said, "How much supplies can you provide?"

Hideki Tojo pondered for a moment and then said: "The materials for the battle of ten divisions, that is, [-] tons! But this is all the combat materials for the year when the troops are dispatched to China."

"The ten divisions will fight for supplies?"

Hearing this, Sugiyama Moto immediately lifted his spirits, this is a huge amount of supplies.

This means that China's dispatch army can launch another large-scale battle with more than ten divisions, but it must not be done in practice, because the situation on the Chinese battlefield has become very different.

Hideki Tojo asked again: "Sugyama-kun, I think you'd better ask Okamura-kun for his opinion on how to distribute and use this batch of combat supplies."

Sugiyama Motodao: "Shouldn't you seek Hata-kun's opinion first?"

"Hata Shun-roku?" Eiji Tojo said disdainfully, "What does he know?"

Hideki Tojo didn't even pay attention to Ishihara Waner, so how could he pay attention to Hata Shunroku, that is, Neiji Okamura was barely able to get into his eyes, and this was because of his early friendship.

Chapter 429 Spring Cleanup

Beiping, Iron Lion Alley NO.11.

North China Front Army Commander Operations Hall.

A huge map has been posted on the north wall of the combat hall, almost covering the entire wall. This is a world map covering the entire East Asia, Southeast Asia, and half of the Pacific Ocean. The westernmost reaches Burma and even England. Paarl extends as far east as Hawaii, as far north as the North Sea, and as far south as Australia.

On this map, the four eastern provinces, North China, Central China, most of East China, and the entire Southeast Asia are all dyed red, which means that they have become the occupied areas of the Japanese army.

"Yoshi." Neiji Okamura nodded in satisfaction, and asked Youmo Jingsan beside him, "Youmo-kun, have you ever calculated how big the empire's territory is?"

"Hayi." You Mojing Sanwei paused, and replied, "After a rough estimate, together with the mainland, North Korea, Manchuria, the occupied areas of China, and the entire Southeast Asia, the total area is probably more than 900 million square kilometers. Of course, this Just the land area, if you count the ocean area, the empire's territory has exceeded 3000 million square kilometers."

"3000 million square kilometers?" Okamura Ningji said with an expression on his face, "Looking at the entire history of mankind, there are probably not many empires with such a large area, right?"

You Mo Jing said: "I'm afraid there is only the Great Yin Empire, which is known as the empire on which the sun never sets."

"The Great Yin Empire?" Neiji Okamura said sarcastically, "The so-called empire on which the sun never sets is a thing of the past. The future of this world belongs to the Great Japanese Empire."

"Yes." Seizo Arisue said expectantly, "The Great Japanese Empire is just like the sun rising in the east, and its dazzling light will soon illuminate the entire world."

After a pause, Yusue Seizo said with emotion: "Your Excellency, I really did not expect that the battle in Southeast Asia would end like this."

"Yeah, this is also far beyond my expectations." Neiji Okamura said happily, "I expected that the Southern Army would win the final victory, but I never expected to win in such a short period of time. , I didn’t even think that the war in Southeast Asia not only did not drag down the empire’s finances, but could actually feed back.”

"This is really in line with an old Chinese saying, if you plant flowers intentionally, they won't bloom, but if you don't care, you will plant willows and willows to make shade."

"The reason why the empire expanded the Japan-China War was to force China to submit, and then integrate China's huge population and resources to help the empire fight the Great Yin Empire and the Beautiful Country in Southeast Asia."

"However, the imperial army has been unable to achieve a decisive victory in the Chinese battlefield."

"On the contrary, as a last resort, the gambled blow on the Southeast Asian battlefield has achieved unexpected results."

"Now, the empire can actually use the resources obtained from the Southeast Asian battlefield to provide supplies to various divisions in the Chinese battlefield. This result is really unexpected."

"If I had known this would be the result, I might as well have sent troops to Southeast Asia."

"In this case, the financial and military pressure on the empire may be much smaller."

Neiji Okamura was really emotional, the war in Southeast Asia stimulated him.

If I knew that Southeast Asia was so easy to fight, why did Japan provoke China?

After all, China has almost no war resources other than coal, no crude oil, no rubber, and no high-quality iron ore, but Southeast Asia has everything.

Neiji Okamura even came up with a crazy idea,

Is it too late to withdraw troops and negotiate peace with China?
