Chapter 690: Joe Piero's Visit
The commander-in-chief of the Japanese Kwantung Army, Minami Jinjiro, had a headache. The commander of the garrison in Shenyang sent a telegram saying that Liaoyang City was under attack and there was no news from one battalion. An infantry regiment and an artillery battalion were sent out from Shenyang City, but no news was received by dark. It was estimated that something unexpected had happened, so he requested tactical guidance.
The four words "tactical guidance" stimulated Nan Renjiro. Trash, idiot. A regiment and two battalions of soldiers disappeared. Until now, we still don't know who is on the other side. It's ridiculous and shameful. Do you really think that the soldiers of the empire are cheap cabbages? The troops are so tight, more than 5,000 people are gone, this is definitely not an ordinary team.
Nan Renjiro began to calculate. The Anti-Japanese United Army had been basically wiped out. Those gangs of bandits definitely didn't have such ability. Who on earth were they and when did they organize the troops that could prevent a regiment and a battalion from even sending a farewell message? The number of troops must be no less than 5,000. Thinking of this, Nan Renjiro cursed them as idiots again in his heart. The Kanto region had been very peaceful all along, and they let the enemy grow to such a scale without even noticing. They were really stupid.
In order to deal with the Yimeng guerrillas and the Battle of Wuhan, the Kwantung Army has been continuously mobilized, especially after the armistice agreement was signed with the Soviet Union. The headquarters has been planning to target the Kwantung Army. Minami Jinjiro only now realizes that even a complete division cannot be mobilized unless the defense of some areas is given up.
Minami Jinjiro had a lot of ideological struggles and felt that the enemy must not be allowed to continue to advance under any circumstances. He recruited a mixed brigade from Jilin and Heilongjiang. More than 8,000 people went west along the railway line, bringing all the equipment and supplies. Even if they could not defeat this group of enemies, they had to find out their origins.
Shen Zizhong did not deploy all his troops into Liaoyang City, but instead deployed his main forces on Baiyun Mountain in the northeast of Liaoyang, including a battalion of field artillery that had just been seized. The Japanese army would certainly not give up, and the next one would definitely be a division or more. Shen Zizhong did not want the ordinary people in the city to suffer from the artillery fire. His firepower characteristics were suitable for field battles, and it would be more cost-effective to lure them out for a little defense.
On the Mengshan side, Chen Feng suddenly received a secret message from Qiao Biluo, saying that he had arrived in Chongqing and would go to Jinzhai from Dabie Mountains, and asked Chen Feng to send someone to pick him up. Also coming was Qiao Biluo's sister Jonina.
Chen Feng was trying to determine the purpose of Qiao Biluo's coming. The Eagle Sauce and the Japanese aircraft carriers and warships were still fighting in the Pacific Ocean, and there was basically no direct confrontation. The Eagle Sauce was a little breathless now. Was it going to step up its offensive? Or send troops to support somewhere? I couldn't guess, so I simply gave up guessing.
"Yunyan, send a message to the Guard Regiment and the First Regiment. After picking up the people, escort them carefully. Do not move during the day and do not take a car at night. It is better to go slowly, but safety must be guaranteed."
"Yes"!
Li Yunyan was quite familiar with the two foreigners. Although she knew that the beautiful reporter had ulterior motives, she did not show anything. After all, she was an international friend and had an allied status, which was quite significant.
When Shen Zizhong led his team to annihilate the Japanese Army's Kiyota Brigade and completely established a foothold in Liaoyang, Qiao Biro and his party arrived. In addition to Qiao Biro's siblings, there was another person Chen Feng never expected to see, General Joseph Shi Wei.
Qiao Nina first gave Chen Feng a big hug, which almost made Chen Feng breathless. Then it was Qiao Piro, and finally Shi Wei.
"Leng, I know you very well. It's a pity that you did not participate in the battle of Wanta, otherwise the Japanese would not have occupied Wanta, and we could only defend in the Imphal area."
As Jonina listened to Shi Wei's words, her eyes flickered and she stared at Chen Feng closely, not knowing what she was thinking.
"General Shi Wei, I admire you very much, but it's a pity that you have a group of stupid teammates. I don't believe you will lose the war just by leading an expeditionary force of 200,000."
Shi Wei knew who the stupid teammate Leng Qiang was talking about and smiled bitterly.
"It's cold outside. Can we go up the mountain to talk?"
Chen Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It had been a long time since they moved down!
"General Shi Wei, I'm very sorry. I feel that the Japanese no longer pose a threat to our Yimeng guerrillas, so they have already moved down. But if you want to go up the mountain, there is no problem at all."
"Let's go, the road is bumpy and everyone is exhausted. I want to go up the mountain to check out your defense system, but not now. Take me to a warm place to rest!"
After entering Shandong Province, we changed to cars and the convoy arrived directly outside Dawa Village.
Chen Feng took the three of them straight home. The kang was heated hot and a coal stove was lit. The food was also ready. It was a double-flavored hotpot and they could start cooking as soon as they sat down.
"My friends, please keep it simple at noon, have a good rest in the afternoon, and I will cook for you in the evening."
Jonina has been looking at Chen Feng lovingly. She has become more mature and more heroic.
Qiao Piero didn't say much, but he became interested when he heard Chen Feng cooking.
"It's cold, brother. I want spicy chicken and spicy rabbit."
"Don't worry, everything is arranged."
Shi Wei liked the atmosphere in the room very much. He didn't expect a family dinner. It seemed that Leng Qian didn't treat him as an outsider.
"It's cold, you know. The convertible jeep is really too cold. I'm different from those young people. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I got into the truck cab. The road was bumpy and cold. Hot pot is very suitable for the occasion. It would be perfect if there was some white wine, preferably strong white wine."
Chen Feng signaled Li Yunyan to open the wine, two bottles of Moutai, just the right amount, just enough for them to fall asleep.
"It's cold, is this your room?"
"Yes, Miss Nina."
"I don't want to leave. It's so warm and cozy here. I'll rest here in the afternoon. Is that okay?"
How could Chen Feng say no? He came here from far away and just wanted to sleep on a warm bed.
"No problem, Yunyan, change the bed and bedding after dinner."
Jonina wanted to say that there was no need to go through so much trouble, but in the end she didn't have the courage to say it.
The hotpot was a shuangbei hotpot, but no one liked the clear soup. They all liked the red oil, lamb, beef, various seafood, potato chips and cabbage hearts. The three of them didn't bother to talk. They took a bite of the hotpot and a sip of wine, savoured the cool air in their mouths.
"It's so enjoyable, so enjoyable. I have to say that the distance here is too tiring. It's all because of those damn Japanese. Otherwise it would have been more comfortable to come here by plane."
Qiao Piro and Shi Wei were obviously busy, but no one spoke. Perhaps they didn't need to spend a moment, as they were all enjoying the spicy hotpot.
Jonina was a little out of shape and stopped eating after a short while.
"Miss Nina, what's wrong?"
"It's cold, I'm fine, just a little tired. Although the Japanese attacked us, I prayed for the soldiers who died and felt sorry for them, but we are finally on the same front, I am very happy."
Jonina was really tired. Everyone had just finished their meal. She took off her shoes and climbed onto the kang. She lay on the kang to test the temperature, panting.
"Earth kang, warm earthen kang, I want to have a good sleep."
