Iwamatsu Yoshio said with a respectful face: "Your Excellency Commander is wise, this Chief Yan is indeed a complete warlord, and it is precisely because of this that we can use him.This man has been operating in Shanxi for decades, and has always regarded Shanxi as his own private territory, and no one is allowed to interfere.And now the Central Army has entered Shanxi, and even the Eighth Route Army has occupied a lot of territory in Shanxi.So in his opinion, whether it is the Central Army or the Eighth Route Army, for him, they are all enemies who come to grab his territory.As long as the imperial army provokes a little, it will inevitably make them turn against each other, and then their so-called united front will also be completely broken, and the imperial army can take advantage of the internal strife of the people of China to break them all down, and then recover Shanxi in one fell swoop. ”"This plan is wonderful, for the sake of Iwamatsu-kun's clever plan, cheers."
Okamura nodded with a smile, then raised his glass.Iwamatsu Yoshio also hurriedly picked up the wine glass, the two drank it all, and the maid hurriedly filled the wine for the two again.Gangcun Ningji put down his wine glass, suddenly frowned, sighed softly and said, "Although Yan Songjun's plan is wonderful, this Chief Yan is a well-known old fox, who is very cunning.If you want to fool him, I'm afraid it's not so easy" Iwamatsu Yoshio smiled and nodded and said: "What Your Excellency Commander said is very true, I served as an adviser in the Chinese army in the early years, and I had several dealings with this Yan Commander. ”These two old devils are also old foxes, and some things can be understood without having to say them too clearly.Gangcun Ningji nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yo Xi, then please ask Yan Songjun for this matter." ”"Hay will do his best to complete this mission."
Yoshio Iwamatsu replied with a respectful face.Gangcun Ningci smiled and nodded and said: "In addition, the old Jiang who hid in Chongqing has always regarded the Eighth Route Army as a thorn in his side, a thorn in the flesh, and he wants to get rid of it quickly.Now that the Eighth Route Army is gradually developing and growing, it is definitely not a situation that Lao Jiang wants to see, and Yan Songjun can also start from this point to provoke the relationship within the Zhina.If the central army and the Jin Sui army can join forces to remove this confidant for the imperial army, then the imperial army will inevitably become easier to recover Shanxi. ”"Hai, thank you Commander for the reminder."
Yoshio Iwamatsu replied with a respectful face."
Yo Xi" Gangcun Ningci nodded with satisfaction, raised his glass again, and said with a smile: "Then I am here, I wish Yan Songjun in advance, a victory, and the establishment of immortal achievements." ”"Thank you, Commander."
Iwamatsu Yoshio responded respectfully and hurriedly raised his glass.The two old devils drank and danced together, and it was not until late at night that Yoshio Iwamatsu said goodbye and left.Early the next morning, Yoshio Iwamatsu took a train to Shimen.After Iwamatsu Yoshio returned to Shimen, he immediately wrote a letter to Yan Laoxi, and then sent a commissioner to send it to Shanxi secretly.The full text of the text is as follows:Looking back on the heyday of the Beiyang School, I had the honor of meeting you once or twice in Beijing when I was a young general and served as an assistant to Rihachiro Sakanishi's advisor.It's been a long time, and it's just a vain admiration.As Your Excellency has known for a long time, what is Your Excellency seeking now, except to be martyred in vain for the foolish tactics of Lao Chiang, begging for a sober observation of the changes in the world war and the prosperity of Japan's strength.General Yan bowed under the sword of Yan Song.After Yan Laoxi saw this letter, he couldn't help but snort coldly: "Hmph, these Japanese devils are really wishful thinking, they have reached this time, and they still want to win me into surrendering, which is really unreasonable." ”An officer of the Jin Suijun Army next to him said: "I think we can arrest the Japanese envoy and hand it over to the Chongqing government together with this letter to show our determination to resist the war." ”"No" Yan Laoxi waved his hand and said: "Now that the Japanese have mobilized 200,000 troops and deployed them in Hebei, it seems that most of them are going to counterattack Shanxi.Although in this battle, we defeated the Japanese and recovered Shanxi, the Japanese combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.If the Japanese army really launches an attack, we may not be able to hold the defense line of Taihang Mountain, so for the time being, we can't offend the Japanese too much. ”"So what do we do now," the other officer asked, frowning."
What should I do" Yan Laoxi frowned and thought about it for a while, turned to look at an officer of the Jin Sui Army, and said with a serious face: "I'll write a reply letter to Iwamatsu Yoshio, and Lao Zhao will trouble you to personally go to Shimen and hand over this letter to Iwamatsu Yoshio." ”"It's a guarantee to get the job done."
Lao Zhao immediately stood up and said with a serious face.Yan Laoxi repeatedly admonished: "The main purpose of your trip to Shimen this time is to find out the truth of the Japanese, try to delay the Japanese, and let them not counterattack Shanxi."
At the very least, we should delay as much time as possible so that we can be well prepared. ”"Yes," Lao Zhao replied respectfully.The next day, Lao Zhao took Yan Laoxi's letter and hurried to Shimen.After arriving at Shimen, Lao Zhao met Iwamatsu Yoshio, and as soon as they met, he repeatedly explained to Iwamatsu Yoshio that the Jin Sui army's counterattack on Taiyuan was by no means intended to be an enemy of the Japanese army, hoping to get Iwamatsu Yoshio's understanding, and put the responsibility on the Eighth Route Army and the Central Army, the meaning is obvious, if you Japanese want to take revenge, go to the Eighth Route Army and the Central Army, don't fight their Jin Sui Army.Iwamatsu Yoshio smiled and said: "I can understand Chief Yan's distress, let me make an analogy, Chief Yan is like a beautiful girl, I love her very much, but she doesn't obey me for a while, and I can't bear to shoot her to death, I still have to wait for a while, looking forward to the future." ”"Haha" Lao Zhao smiled awkwardly and said, "Commander Yan Song is really funny, such a contemptible representative, Chief Yan, thank you for your understanding." ”Iwamatsu Yoshio said with a smile: "Actually, our Imperial Japanese Army and your Jinsui Army are not enemies, and our Imperial Japanese Army entered China to help the people of China fight for freedom and democracy and prevent it."
From this point of view, we are the friendly army, and the Eighth Route Army is our common enemy, and I hope that Your Excellency will tell Chief Yan to recognize the situation clearly, and when Chief Yan's rule is completely completed, it will be too late to regret it. ”"It's what the commander said, and I will definitely tell Chief Yan."
Lao Zhao nodded and said.aa2705221:
