The attack on the Nantianmen of the Eighth Division has caused more than 4,000 casualties to the Eighth Division. According to the Japanese army, the Eighth Division is a Division, with three brigades including one cavalry brigade and two infantry brigades. Each infantry brigade is under two regiments, and each regiment has a total strength of 3,800. In this way, the total infantry of the Eighth Division is more than 15,000, and the casualties of more than 4,000 are nearly one-third of the infantry of the Eighth Division, even if the 33rd Mixed Brigade is added, there will be one-fifth of it. If another brigade is transferred to the rear at this time, and the Chinese team will counterattack from Chadong again, the danger of the Eighth Division will be self-evident.

Looking at Nishiyi's appearance, Okamura Yasuji sighed slightly in his heart. He changed his tone and said, "General, the Volunteer Army's actions in the rear were not accidental, but planned and strategically designed. It is not simply to hold our army back, but to have greater plans to counterattack Atako."

At this moment, Gu Nakazo, the chief of intelligence, rushed into the tent: "The deputy chief of staff and division commander, received a telegram from the Kwantung Army Command that Liu Guitang and Cui Yanwu rebelled and the enclosure was lost."

Nishiyiichi and Okamura Yanji looked at each other, but they didn't expect the situation to change so quickly. Nishiyi was furious: "Eight types! Where is Li Shouxin? What is he doing?"

Okamura Yasuji sighed in a low voice. It seemed that the Chinese team was ahead of the way. He felt that his actions were slower. Instructing the war, this means asking for help in the Japanese army, but asking for help is the subordinate first to make a request to the superior. Such a superior directly sent people to the subordinate without the consent of the subordinate to guide the war is actually one purpose: supervising the war, which is rare in the history of the Japanese army.

This situation occurs because Muto Nobuyi was very dissatisfied with the progress of the Great Wall front, so he sent Okamura Yanji to the 8th Division under the excuse of the changes in the war in the Rekawa area. Saito Yaheta, the chief of the first section, to go to the 6th Division to supervise the war. However, according to the usual methods used by the Japanese army, the name claimed to the outside world was to stop the arbitrary actions of the lower-level officers. Control the war on the front line of the Great Wall and ensure peace in the Pektsu area. Of course, such high-sounding words would mean deceiving ordinary people and lower-level officers, but they could not deceive those senior generals.

"Your Excellency, this is nothing strange. Those Chinese people are not trustworthy at all," said Okamura Yanji, the chief of staff of the 8th Division, and said first. He had not spoken before. He was a little hostile to Okamura's arrival. He thought it was normal for the Great Wall to not go smoothly. The Great Wall defenders were not a fool-army like Tang Yusheng but an elite Central Army. It is impossible to advance like Rehe, so he wanted to make things difficult for Okamura: "The paddock is lost. If the Zhong** team attacks Chifeng in the west, the Chifeng defenders currently have only one squadron and two thousand imperial assistants, and it is difficult for them to defend Chifeng.

"No, they will not go west to Chifeng," Okamura retorted immediately. He looked at Kuna and said firmly: "Early advancing Chifeng has little impact on their next stage of combat, but instead dispersed their troops. I think their next step is to attack south and Longhua. Only in this way can the Imperial Army's attack on the Nantianmen."

Seeing that Okamura was not deceived, Kuna no longer dared to make things difficult for him. Instead, he showed a convincing look: "Okamura is right. I am too worried about the gains and losses of Chifeng and did not notice the situation of the main force of the division. It is my fault. Please forgive me."

After saying that, he bowed slightly at Okamura, Okamura Yanji took the opportunity to step down. Of course, he understood that it was not that Kuna did not see the next action plan of the China ** team, but that he wanted to deliberately guide him to think in the wrong direction. After he made the decision to send troops to reinforce Afeng, he would come forward to correct it. In that case, Okamura's face would be wiped out and he would not be qualified to guide the 8th Division to fight.

"Kuna Jun is too humble. You are right. If the Chinese army attacks Chifeng, Chifeng may not be able to save it. However, the gains and losses of Chifeng have little impact on the current situation. We can ignore him for the time being, focus on the front line of the Great Wall, and expand territory for His Majesty the Emperor." Okamura Yasuji said solemnly: "When I returned to my country in March, I was summoned by His Majesty. His Majesty was very concerned about the battle of Rekawa. He hoped that we would add glory to the empire." Speaking of this, Okamura Yasuji's eyes were filled with tears, and he recalled the Emperor's every move, and his words and deeds: "Your lords, we must unite sincerely, overcome difficulties together, and share your worries for His Majesty."

"Hayi! It is our duty to sacrifice our lives for the empire!" The officers in the tents such as Nishiyi and Kuna answered solemnly.

"Kun Okamura, what should I do behind the scenes? I cannot let the Chinese people threaten our traffic lines at will." Nishiyi said.

"Of course not, we still need to send troops to clear the bandits, but not from you. I will suggest that the Kwantung Army Command draw a wing and the First Cavalry Brigade from the Hattori brigade assigned by the 6th Division to clear out the bandits." Okamura Yasuji calmly said his plan: "But the deployment of the 8th Division must also be adjusted, and the right wing must be strengthened. Your Excellency, I suggest that you draw a wing to strengthen the defense of the right wing Boot Mountain line, and at the same time, the Mogi Cavalry Brigade will be transferred to the northwest guerrilla."

Okamura Yanji was also helpless. According to information, the 87th Division, one of the most elite troops in China, has been sent to the Great Wall front line. In addition, Wei Lihuang, known as the brave general, has also arrived at the Great Wall front line. It seems that the ** team will never give up the Great Wall easily like the Northeast. They are determined to defend this border line with a thousand-year tradition.^^

The Chinese ** team gathered in elite troops, but what about the Japanese army? The resistance of the three northeastern provinces was one after another. The Kanto Army had only six divisions. Feng's troops were already stretched in the vast northeast and were unable to increase troops to Rehe. The current economic situation in the country did not allow the war to continue. Before launching the Rehe attack, Muto Nobuyi also vowed to ensure that only the current forces could occupy Rehe. With his understanding of Muto Nobuyi, he would never slap himself in the face.

The division headquarters was discussing, and the phone on the table rang. Kuna grabbed the phone, and after listening to a few words, he turned around and said to Nishiyi: "Suzuki reported that today's twelfth attack failed. He was organizing the thirteenth attack. He asked the division logistics department to transport the shells as soon as possible. Each of his guns had only six shells."

Perhaps there have been too many such reports recently, and Nishi Yiichi was no longer angry. He thought with a gloomy face and said, "Tell him to suspend the attack and turn to defense."

The brigades took turns to attack for more than ten days, except for capturing the foot of the old mountain, without any progress. Taking advantage of the adjustment and deployment, let the troops rest and prepare for the next stage of attack.

Coincidentally, Saito also made the same suggestion to the commander of the 6th Division, Masaemon Sakamoto, in Lengkou. The gunfire from the front line of the Great Wall gradually disappeared. The news reached Peking, and He Yingqin was very surprised.

"Zheming, it seems that Yongjin Zuo is still sincere." Despite this, He Yingqin's tone was full of doubt. The counterattack of Chadong had not yet begun, and there was no news that the incorporated volunteers went behind the enemy. He was not sure what the reason why the Japanese army stopped the attack, so he could only attribute him to the negotiation factors for the time being.

Xu Zuyi negotiated with Sada, the military officer of the Japanese Consulate in Tianjin, but within two days the Japanese no longer contacted him and asked the Peking Military Branch to send people with higher positions to negotiate with Yongjin Zuo, the military officer of the Peking Embassy.

He Yingqin then sent Xiong Bin to negotiate with Yongjin at the British Consulate in Dongjiaomin Lane. Yongjin was very arrogant and refused to discuss any issues with Xiong Bin, asking the Chinese team to withdraw to Yanqing, Changping, Gaoliying, Shunyi, Tongxian, Xianghe, Baodi, Lintingkou, Ninghe, and the west side of Lutai. Xiong Bin also put forward the Chinese demand and ceasefire according to the current actual control line. This request was flatly rejected by Yongjin, and the negotiations were temporarily interrupted.

After the Chinese team recovered the eight roads, the Japanese offensive was set. Yongjin contacted Xiong Bin again to ask whether the Chinese team withdraws from the Great Wall or withdraws to Yanqing, Changping, Goryeoying, Shunyi, Tongxian, Xianghe, Baodi, Lintingkou, Ninghe, and west of Lutai. Then the two sides signed a written armistice agreement. Xiong Bin still insisted on signing the armistice agreement with the Great Wall as the line and reminded Yongjin. China's anti-rebellion has made concessions, Rehe has acquiesced to the Japanese occupation, but Yongjin still refuses, and the negotiations between the two sides are deadlocked. However, the day before yesterday, Yongjin suddenly proposed that the two sides temporarily stop the military operations for negotiations. Xiong Bin was very surprised. He did not know what the Japanese army was going to do, so he did not dare to agree immediately. He said that this needed a report. Unexpectedly, Yongjin called yesterday and said that in order to show sincerity, the Kwantung Army decided to stop the attack first.

After receiving the report, He Yingqin was very surprised when the Japanese became so easy to talk to. He felt that there must be a conspiracy, but he didn't know where the conspiracy was.

Xiong Bin heard He Yingqin's suspicion, but in fact he didn't believe that the Japanese had a character outbreak. In the past ten days, Yongjin's attitude changed too quickly and too obvious, making people have to doubt it.

"Has the Japanese army encountered some difficulties? Or was Mr. Huang's negotiations in Shanghai made progress?" Xiong Bin replied.

"If Huang Fu makes progress, the Chairman will telegraph us to the place." He Yingqin first rejected the second possibility, then frowned and murmured: "As for the difficulties, what is that? What difficulties can make the Japanese army stop the attack on their own initiative?"

The two were speechless, and after a long time Xiong Bin slowly guessed: "Is the action behind enemy lines a result? The Japanese army had to draw troops from the front line, so they were unable to launch an attack. Why not send a telegram to Zhuang Wenge to ask?"

He Yingqin looked at it and shook his head with some dissatisfaction: "Zheming, how is this possible? How is those volunteers... As for Zhuang Wenge, hehe, if there is any news, he would have sent it a long time ago. He is not a person who follows the rules."

Xiong Bin knew that He Yingqin was referring to Zhuang Jihua's arbitrarily discussing with Feng Yuxiang after he recruited troops in Chadong and asked him to serve as the commander-in-chief of Chadong counterattack and unified command of the various departments on the Chadong front.

"The Cultural Revolution is inevitable that he is young and he is a little impatient in his work." Xiong Bin did not follow He Yingqin's words. He was not from the Huangpu Army, but from the Northwest Army system. When Feng Yuxiang launched the Beijing coup, he was the chief of staff of the First Army of the National Army. Since then, he has been a staff member by Feng Yuxiang. It was not until after the 27th anniversary of the Communist Party that Chiang Kai-shek came out again that he represented the Second Army in the National Government and then transferred to the central system. Years of experience of hanging around in factions made him understand that although he held important positions in both the Northwest Army and the Central Army, if he met a real direct line or core, his identity was of no use. Lu Zhonglin, Sun Liangcheng and others gave him a deep lesson. Now, no matter He Yingqin or Zhuang Jihua, they all held important positions for the direct line of the Huangpu Army, and they could not be provoked in the long run.

"Ha, that's not..." He Yingqin looked at Xiong Bin at this point, understood his difficulties, and smiled understandingly and said, "You are the one I rely most in Peking, Zheming, the Cultural Revolution is extremely bold. Both I and the Chairman know this very well, but his luck has always been very good, maybe it's because of the accurate judgment, but... sooner or later he will hit a nail."

Xiong Bin thought silently and said, "Jingzhi, if you say something you shouldn't say, contact Feng Yuxiang, this matter is quite good. With Zhuang Wenge's thoughts, he couldn't be unclear, so I thought, was the Chairman giving him another order?"

He Yingqin was stunned. Such a thing was not impossible. Chiang Kai-shek had always been like this. Before he could figure it out, the office door was pushed open, and Xu Zuyi rushed in excitedly, waving a newspaper in his hand.

"Chairman He, Director Xiong, great victory, great victory, and the liberation of the paddocks!"

He Yingqin and Xiong Bin were still stunned for a moment before they woke up from their emotions. Xiong Bin took the newspaper, and the front page was "** Counterattack on Rehe, Sun Juncheng Dingying Restored the Surface".

"What's going on?" Xiong Bin asked Xu Zuyi in confusion after reading it hurriedly: "We don't know, how did the newspaper know?"

"I don't know either. I called the newspaper and asked the newspaper. They sent the message only after receiving telegrams from the paddock. However, the judgment of Beizhi should be true," said Xu Zuyi. "Sun Dianying sent two troops to attack Rehe. Neither of these two troops had a radio station or a password, so they could not contact us. I think they should be using civilian radio stations to send the land."

He Yingqin and Xiong Bin immediately concluded that Xu Zuyi's analysis was reasonable. They exchanged glances and spoke almost at the same time: "The Japanese army has something to do."

"This Zhuang Cultural Revolution is really a solution!" Xiong Bin cursed excitedly. He now understood why Yongjin asked for a truce. It must be because the logistics line was threatened or even cut off. This shows that the tactic proposed by Zhuang Jihua worked.

He Yingqin was also very excited. The first step of the drama finally achieved its goal. The next step should be Fu Zuoyi. He had never thought about whether Fu Zuoyi would send troops, because Zhuang Wenge was in Zhangjiakou, so he could definitely convince Fu Zuoyi.

"Give Zhuang Jihua a power generation, tell him the situation here, and let himself make the judgment of the time to go out." He Yingqin ordered.
