Chapter 111 Negotiators Arrive
Chapter 111 Negotiators Arrive
"Go back to your homeland?" Wang Ye sneered, "If you like your homeland so much, then why did you come to China?"
“Uh…!” Hashimoto Ryojo was speechless.
"Now that you're here, why go back? In my opinion, if you do something wrong, you have to pay the price.
Since they are already dead, let them die cleanly and let them repent in China!"
Wang Su was the one who was most opposed to negotiating with the devils. In his opinion, the dead bodies of the devils were the best expression of military merit.
Let the Eighth Route Army newspapers publish more reports, take photos of the devil's miserable conditions, and publish a few photos every day to let the people know that the devil is also flesh and blood.
Even if you die, you will bleed, although the blood is not very clean!
Seeing that Wang Su was a girl, Hashimoto Ryojo couldn't help but say, "Fujiwara Nakayoshi and Uchida Ginnosuke are the leaders of the 20th Division.
Their bodies represent the 20th Division, and all the senior generals of the Imperial Army are paying attention to this matter.
The Imperial Cabinet has issued an order to bring back their bodies no matter what the cost.
If you refuse to hand it over, I personally think that the Empire may send out elite troops to carry out a large-scale encirclement and suppression of the Independent Battalion!"
The threat in Hashimoto Ryojo's words was evident, and Wang Su and Zhao Gang frowned almost at the same time.
Wang Ye smiled and said, "I am very curious about your encirclement and suppression. There are still 11 Japanese troops in the entire Jin Province.
This number sounds like a lot, but there is only Lu Yang's 4th Brigade in Northwest Shanxi now.
There was no large enemy force in northern Shanxi, and the county town north of Pingxian was being occupied by the Eighth Route Army.
I don't know where your people came from to encircle and suppress my independent battalion?
Would you disrupt your war plans just for the bodies of Fujiwara Nakayoshi and the other two devils?"
Hashimoto Ryosuke was silent. Isn't negotiation about intimidation first and then giving benefits? Is he wrong?
"Wang Yejun, how can you return the bodies of Fujiwara Nakayoshi and the other man to us?"
Wang Ye asked curiously, "You are a major, so your authority is not enough. Send someone from the Taiyuan Headquarters.
By the way, let me remind you that the National Government also wants these two bodies, and their negotiators are on the way!"
When Hashimoto Ryosuke heard that people from the National Government were also coming, he quickly said goodbye and went back to send a telegram to the Taiyuan Command, asking them to come as soon as possible.
The Taiyuan headquarters received a telegram from Hashimoto Ryojo, and there was a burst of angry curses in the conference room.
Yoshio Yuzuka was so angry that he vomited blood. It was not that the Japanese had not lost major generals and lieutenant generals before, but these people died in large-scale combat.
Even if they died, it was for the empire's strategy, and every battle was successful. The people knew their contributions, and death was not unacceptable.
Like the 20th Division Headquarters, Fujiwara no Nakayoshi and Uchida Ginnosuke died in the small northern Shanxi province, and were wiped out by the local Tubalu troops.
No one can accept this result. If the public knew the truth about their death,
Yoshio Yuzuka could not imagine what kind of unrest would break out in the country.
"Where are the negotiators?" asked Yoshio Yuzuka weakly.
"Reporting to the Commander, Colonel Takeuchi of the General Staff has already gotten off the train and will arrive in Ping County early tomorrow morning."
"Send a message to Takeuchi. No matter what the cost, the souls of Fujiwara Nakayoshi and Uchida Ginnosuke must return to their homeland!"
Yuzuka Yoshio thought that he would leave here and return to his homeland soon. If he couldn't find the bodies of Fujiwara and others, how would he face their relatives after returning to their homeland?
The next morning, Takeuchi led more than 10 negotiators to Pingxian under the protection of the independent brigade's guard unit. As soon as he saw Hashimoto Ryojo, he shouted,
"Hashimoto-kun, I order you to send a telegram to Commander Yuzuka immediately. The people of the Independent Battalion have no respect for us, the Imperial Warriors.
As soon as we arrived in Ping County, they disarmed us and took us all to Ping County like prisoners. I refuse to negotiate with them!"
Hashimoto Ryojo said with a wry smile,
"Colonel Takeuchi, I'm even worse off than you. As soon as I entered Daqingshan, I was disarmed by the independent brigade.
All the way from Pingyang to Pingxian, I didn’t even have a full meal! ”
"What?" Takeuchi Ichiro looked at Hashimoto Ryojo in surprise. He couldn't imagine that the warriors of the empire were living such a miserable life outside.
He had never been to the front line and was still immersed in the dream of the empire's invincibility.
Hashimoto Ryosho knew Takeuchi's thoughts very well, which was why he disliked the people in the General Staff.
If he wasn't in the territory of the independent brigade, he would never meet Ichiro Takeuchi.
"Colonel Takeuchi, since you are here, I will hand over the negotiation to you. The people of the independent battalion look down on a major like me anyway!"
After saying this, Hashimoto Ryojo handed over the documents drafted by the independent brigade, then turned and left.
Takeuchi Ichiro wanted to stop him to learn more about the situation, but Hashimoto Ryojo ran away very fast, as if he was being chased by a dog.
In the independent battalion meeting room, Takeuchi Ichiro finally saw Wang Ye, the captain of the independent battalion that destroyed the 20th Division.
He looked at Wang Ye's young face with great surprise and shouted in disbelief,
"Baga, the Eighth Route Army is so cunning. Our empire has already lost a division and an independent brigade, and the leader of the independent brigade has not shown up yet.
You actually chose such a young person to negotiate with us. You are really going too far!"
Everyone in the conference room except the Japanese looked at Wang Ye with strange expressions, as if to say, Captain, the Japanese look down on you!
Wang Ye glared at the people around him, sat up straight and said, "I am Wang Ye, the captain of the independent brigade. You little devils, if you want to talk, then talk! If you don't want to talk, get out of here!"
Ichiro Takeuchi felt a murderous aura coming towards him as soon as the young man opposite him finished speaking. He couldn't help but tremble, and then he looked over.
With a trembling voice, he asked, "Are you really the leader of this troop?"
"It's not important. What is your purpose here?"
Takeuchi Ichiro turned his stiff neck and then remembered the purpose of their visit.
"Dear Captain, on behalf of Lieutenant General Yoshio Yuzuka, the commander of the First Army, I hope you can return the bodies of Lieutenant General Fujiwara Nakayoshi and Major General Uchida Ginnosuke to us!"
Wang Ye smiled slightly, "I'm a straightforward person. I can give you the body, but I have conditions!"
"What conditions?" Ichiro Takeuchi had already anticipated Wang Ye's reaction. Negotiations are like this, with a back-and-forth approach!
"Two million dollars, weapons and ammunition for two reorganized divisions of the National Government, and the release of 200 captured Eighth Route Army soldiers and underground party members!"
"Impossible!" Takeuchi Ichiro shouted, "Your conditions are too presumptuous.
The bodies of Fujiwara Nakayoshi and Uchida Ginnosuke are not worth 200 million dollars, let alone anything else!"
