Umezu Mijiro barely squeezed out a smile, bowed slightly to Pu Yi, and pretended to be calm: "Emperor Kant doesn't have to worry, there are indeed some emergencies on the front line, but it's not a big deal.But I'm going to deal with it and be out of company for a while. ”Saying that, he gave Yoshimoto a look, turned around and left in a hurry.Yoshimoto Sadachi also hurriedly followed out, and accompanied by several devil officers, Umezu Mijiro and others came to a room in the side hall.Umezu Mijiro couldn't help frowning, a trace of anger couldn't help but appear on his face, and he asked angrily: "There are about 20,000 Manchu and Mongolian cavalry stationed in the Creekten Banner, how could it be lost so quickly" "Report to Your Excellency Commander, those Manchu and Mongolian cavalry are simply vulnerable, and as soon as the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army attacked, they were completely defeated. ”A devil officer replied with a respectful face."
Baga these damn Shina people, they really can't be relied on."
Umezu Mijiro said angrily.These Manchurian and Mongolian cavalry were all formed by some Mongolian nobles and traitors and bandits recruited by the Japanese, and there were quite a few of them, but they were all a rabble, and they were not vulnerable at all.Yoshimoto Sadachi frowned and asked, "At present, it has been determined that the main force of the seventh column of the Eighth Route Army has all rushed to Rehe.However, there was no news of a cavalry division in this seventh column, and it was thought that it was most likely the cavalry division of the seventh column that attacked Krickten. ”Umezu Mijiro nodded slightly, his brows furrowed deeper, and he said with a puzzled expression: "The cavalry division of the seventh column, why did they suddenly attack Creekten, what is their intention" Yoshimoto Sadachi frowned and thought about it, and said with a serious face: "According to humble speculation, the purpose of the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army to attack Creekten is estimated to be to attack through the Xila Mulun River Valley, all the way to the east, and return to the north of Chifeng, so as to assist their main force to take Chifeng." ”"You mean to say that the Eighth Route Army wants to attack Chifeng," Umezu Mijiro asked with a frown."
Hay doesn't rule it out."
Yoshimoto Sadaichi replied respectfully."
Hmph" Umezu Mijiro snorted coldly and said: "The Imperial Army has a division stationed in the paddock, and there is also a division in Chifeng, two fully integrated divisions, no matter how big the appetite of the Eighth Route Army is, it is absolutely impossible to eat the two divisions of the Imperial Army, and it is simply wishful thinking to attack Chifeng." ”Yoshimoto Sadachi frowned and said, "Tsuchihachi has always been bold and reckless, and he can do everything, so the imperial army has to guard against it" "Hmm" Umezu Mijiro nodded and said, "Now no matter what their purpose is, we must stop them."
Immediately ordered the 8th and 23rd Divisions to send part of their forces north to intercept the cavalry of the Chinese people, and to stop them at all costs, preferably to annihilate them in one fell swoop. ”"Hai" Yoshimoto replied respectfully, and hurriedly ordered a staff officer to convey the order.Umezu Mijiro frowned and said with a serious face: "No matter what the purpose of the Tsuchihachi Road is, as long as the imperial army strengthens its vigilance, they will have no chance. ”"Your Excellency Commander Hai is wise."
Yoshimoto said flatteringly.Umezu Mijiro nodded with satisfaction, squeezed out a smile on his face, looked at Yoshimoto Sadachi and said, "Yoshimoto-kun, now let's go back and continue to enjoy this sumptuous dinner, if we go back too late, that Emperor Kant should be cranky again." ”"Hai" Yoshimoto Sadaichi replied respectfully, and then returned to the main hall with Umezu Mijiro.The singing and dancing in the hall continued, as if nothing had happened, only Pu Yi and those high-ranking officials of the puppet Manchukuo had serious expressions, their brows furrowed slightly, and they were faintly uneasy.At this moment, Umezu Mijiro came back with Yoshimoto Sadachi and others, Umezu Mijiro bowed slightly, and said apologetically: "Emperor Kant forgives me, there are some military affairs that need to be dealt with just now, which disturbed Your Majesty's Yaxing." ”Seeing that Umezu Mijiro was back, Pu Yi felt a little relieved, and said with a smile: "It's okay, the commander is too polite, after all, military affairs are important."
Now that the commander has returned, he must have dealt with it" Umezu Mijiro hurriedly said: "It's a trivial matter, let Your Majesty bother, but now that the matter has been dealt with, the contemptible person can continue to accompany His Majesty to continue to enjoy this sumptuous dinner." ”After speaking, Umezu Mijiro picked up a glass of wine and said with a smile: "I salute Your Majesty with a glass, and I wish Your Majesty good health." ”"Thank you, Commander."
Pu Yi smiled slightly, picked up the wine glass and drank with Umezu Mijiro, and then hurriedly smiled and said, "Commander, please take a seat." ”"Hay" Umezu Mijiro replied softly, and then continued to sit down.Although Pu Yi always had a smile on his face, he was anxious in his heart.At the beginning, the Eighth Route Army had just captured Rehe, and Pu Yi thought that it was because of the Japanese army's lax defense, and he was caught off guard by the Eighth Route Army.With the strong combat effectiveness of the Japanese army, it was inevitable that they could easily recapture Rehe and completely defeat the Eighth Route Army.But now more than half a year has passed, although the Japanese army launched several attacks, but has never been able to occupy Rehe, the successive defeats of the Japanese army, so that Pu Yi is very disappointed in the Japanese, until this moment he realized that the Japanese are not as he imagined before, invincible in the world.Recently, I heard some rumors that the Eighth Route Army had the intention of attacking the Northeast on a large scale, which made Pu Yi even more uneasy, once the Eighth Route Army attacked the Northeast on a large scale, it would inevitably threaten his throne.Pu Yi has already abdicated twice, and he doesn't want a third time.And the only people he can rely on now are the Japanese.Pu Yi's banquet with Umezu Mijiro also wanted to get some useful news from the mouth of the commander of the Kwantung Army.But this Umezu Mijiro is a cunning old fox, no matter how Pu Yi knocks on the side, he can never get any useful information, which makes Pu Yi very disappointed, but he is also helpless.No matter how good the banquet is, there will always be an end.Umezu Yoshijiro stood up to thank Pu Yi and thanked Emperor Kant for his hospitality.Pu Yi got up very politely to see off the guests, but after all, he was the emperor, and the Japanese didn't take him seriously, but he had his own shelf, so he just sent Umezu Mijiro to the door of the main hall and stopped.Subsequently, several ministers of the puppet Manchukuo were responsible for sending Umezu Mijiro and others out of the palace.aa2705221:
