Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Evil Can Overcome the Righteous (Part 1)
Dalian Lushun, Japanese Kwantung Army Headquarters Building.
In an office on the third floor, good friends Seishiro Itagaki and Kanji Ishihara were gathering together to discuss the next battle.
Now Japan's domestic reinforcements of the 6th Division and the reserve forces of the 2nd Division, as well as most of the North Korean 20th Division, have arrived at Lushun Military Port.
"Ishihara-kun, in a few days, after the 2nd Division has completed its replenishment and integration, we can march to Shenyang. How is the Jilin plan you planned going?" Seishiro Itagaki asked while smoking a cigarette.
"Xiqia has already given an answer. He has telegraphed the Chinese troops in all parts of Jilin to stay put so that they cannot go south to reinforce Zhang Xinghan's garrison brigade in Shenyang to support the imperial army's attack on Shenyang." Ishihara Wan'er said thoughtfully.
"What is his attitude towards surrendering to the imperial army?" Itagaki Seishiro asked.
"In contrast, they are more inclined to support Puyi's restoration and the establishment of Manchukuo." Ishihara smiled.
Seishiro Itagaki said with disdain: "Huh, what's the difference between that and surrendering to the Empire of Japan? Without the support of the Imperial Army of the Empire of Japan, how do they want to support Puyi's restoration?"
Ishihara smiled calmly and said: "Itagaki-kun, you are well versed in Chinese culture. You must have heard of the Chinese allusion of hiding one's ears and stealing one's bell."
"Covering one's ears and stealing one's bell?" Itagaki Seishiro chanted twice, nodded happily and said with a smile: "Yo Xi, yes, China people just like to cover one's ears and steal bells, stupid China pigs haha."
"However, this old guy Xiqia used Jilin Dingchao, Li Du and Heilongjiang Mazhanshan as an excuse to postpone the immediate power supply and surrender to the imperial army." Ishihara Wan'er suddenly said.
"Huh, he's still waiting and watching!" Itagaki Seishiro said to the point.
"Yes, he is waiting for an opportunity." Ishihara Wan'er narrowed his eyes and said: "This opportunity depends on whether the imperial army can capture Shenyang and completely annihilate Zhang Xinghan's garrison brigade."
"Damn those Chinese people, they have very bad consciences, I will kill them all when I get the chance!" Itagaki Seishiro said angrily.
"Itagaki-kun, there is no need to be angry. The Chinese people are not stupid. It is naturally impossible for them to surrender to the imperial army rashly before we achieve a decisive victory. This is to be expected." Ishihara said with a smile.
"Moreover, even after we have won a decisive victory, if we want to occupy China for a long time and make it the territory of our Japanese Empire, we will still need the assistance of some Chinese people for a long time in the future. Therefore, the holy war for the empire , for the common prosperity of Greater East Asia, some Chinese people cannot be killed because they are still valuable."
"Yes." Itagaki Seishiro adjusted his mentality and nodded in agreement.

Shenyang, garrison brigade headquarters.
Zhang Xinghan had received a reply from Ma Zhanshan and learned that a brigade of the 20th Division had directly invaded Heilongjiang Province from North Korea. Zhang Xinghan could not help but frown.
Fortunately, Ma Zhanshan still dispatched a cavalry regiment to accompany Li Du's troops south to support him, which made Zhang Xinghan feel a little relieved.
I just put away the telegram and wanted to go out to the Sujiatun front line to inspect the construction progress of the fortifications.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside.
Zhang Xinghan had just stood up, and when he heard the sound, he looked up and saw Guo Zhong, the commander of the guard battalion and his adjutant, walking in with a man and a woman.
The person who came was none other than his younger brother Zhang Xinghua.
After returning to Shenyang, Zhang Xinghan went back to the headquarters to handle housework, while Zhang Xinghua went home to see his parents first.
Seeing that the woman who came with Zhang Xinghua looked familiar, Zhang Xinghan asked without knowing why: "Xinghua, you are not at home to accompany your parents. What are you doing here?"
Zhang Xinghua glanced at Su Hanyun next to him and said with a somewhat embarrassed smile: "Brother, this is Teacher Su from our department. He has always been very good to me when I was in Yanjing. This time he came to Shenyang with our classmates just to participate. In our Shenyang garrison brigade, I would like to ask if Big Brother can arrange a position for Teacher Su in your brigade headquarters."
Zhang Xinghan, a man of two generations, can tell from his younger brother's behavior that he is interested in Su Hanyun next to him.
When I turned my attention to Su Hanyun, I saw her bright eyes and white teeth, skin like snow, beautiful nose and mouth, slender waist, long legs, big breasts and perky buttocks. She was indeed outstandingly tall.
When she realized that Zhang Xinghan was looking at her, Su Hanyun shyly turned her gaze away, but then turned back and looked squarely at Zhang Xinghan.
Unexpectedly, he suddenly raised his tall chest and stood at attention, accepting Zhang Xinghan's review like a soldier.
Zhang Xinghan was quite surprised and immediately asked: "Miss Su, what majors do you know?"
"Sir, I studied radio before becoming a teacher." Su Hanyun stepped forward and answered without being humble or overbearing.
"Radio major?" Zhang Xinghan fell into deep thought after hearing this. He accidentally saw Zhang Xinghua's eyes full of eagerness and immediately decided: "Well, our communications company directly under the brigade headquarters is short of a trainee communications soldier. Miss Su can stay if she wants."
Su Hanyun was secretly happy in her heart and quickly stood up again and said: "Thank you sir for your permission. Su Hanyun will definitely fulfill his duties and contribute to the country and the nation."
Zhang Xinghua was also overjoyed and said with joy: "Brother, thank you!"
"Silly boy, why should we brothers be polite to each other?" Zhang Xinghan smiled indifferently and said: "Besides, Miss Su knows radio and is from Yanjing. Talents like this are very popular in that army. Brother, I am still I have to thank you."
"By the way, come home with me to have a meal with your parents at noon. The war is about to begin. Let's count it as a moment if we can spend more time with them." Zhang Xinghan said.
"Okay, brother, let's go back to the military camp with Teacher Su and bring her belongings, and then come to the brigade headquarters to formally report." Zhang Xinghua said with a smile.
Zhang Xinghan nodded, and Zhang Xinghua and Su Hanyun immediately left hand in hand.
The two of them walked straight out of the garrison compound. Zhang Xinghua said excitedly: "Hanyun, that's great. My eldest brother agreed so readily."
Su Hanyun looked at Zhang Xinghua who looked happy with guilt. She knew the reason why Zhang Xinghua brought her to his elder brother and begged him to let her stay at the brigade headquarters.
That's because he doesn't want to be assigned to the front-line troops, because everyone knows that it is much safer to stay at the garrison brigade headquarters than the front-line troops.
After pondering for a moment, Su Hanyun asked: "Xinghua, what about you? Will you stay at the brigade headquarters too? If you are willing, your elder brother will definitely agree."
"No, I want to go to the Third Regiment of Brother Yicai." Zhang Xinghua's answer was beyond Su Hanyun's expectations.
"Why? Isn't it safer to stay at the brigade headquarters? And we can see each other often and take care of each other." Su Hanyun felt guilty and puzzled.
"How can a man be afraid of death? As the commander of Shenyang city defense, my eldest brother even led the cavalry to the battlefield to kill the enemy and serve the country. How could I, his younger brother, hide in the brigade headquarters and live in confusion because of fear of death? ." Zhang Xinghua said with a firm and yearning look on his face: "The ancients said that when a man is born in the world, he should carry a three-foot green sword to make immortal achievements and be famous throughout the ages.
Now that we are living in troubled times and facing a national crisis, I should join the front-line troops and follow my elder brother to fight against the Japanese invaders. I do not seek to become famous, but only seek to do my best for the country and the nation. Even if I die on the battlefield and am buried in horse leather, I will not complain. No regrets!”
PS: I know that many brothers are waiting to see the rabbit but not the hawk. I will update one chapter first. As long as the chrysanthemum that ranks first in the category recommendation vote is exploded, I will definitely update two more chapters.
There is only a difference of a hundred votes, brothers, please do your best! Go for it!
Chapter completed!
