The War of Resistance Begins with the Regiment Leader Chapter 326

Chapter 326 Thirty million is far from enough!

It wasn't until this moment that Lieutenant General Nakasa Moritaka completely started to panic.

The Sichuan Army actually participated in the war.

If they join the war, it means that Yangcheng may be in danger.

Thinking of this, Lieutenant General Nakasa Moritaka looked at the map.

Now that the Sichuan Army has participated in the war, it must be with the idea of ​​​​taking Yangcheng.

Therefore, he must now strengthen Yangcheng's troops and defense.

Even when necessary, part of the city must be abandoned.

He has already considered the idea of ​​bringing back all the main forces of the 129th Division in Dongguan and Baoan along the Guangzhou-Kowloon line and the 130th Division in Zhongshan and Jiangmen.

Previously, he only mobilized a part of his troops, and he felt that it was enough to block the Fourth Army's attack.

But now that the Sichuan Legion has joined the battlefield, that is definitely not enough.

"Bring back all the 129th Division and the 130th Division." Lieutenant General Moritaka Nakasa looked at the map and said to the combat staff beside him.

"Your Excellency, Commander, is this too impulsive?" the combat staff member quickly advised.

Once these two divisions withdraw, it means that this large area will be abandoned.

What a shame.

"Let the local Imperial Army be responsible for garrisoning these places, and tell them that as long as they guard these places, when the battle is over, they will be given certain rewards." At this time, Lieutenant General Nakazo Moritaka naturally couldn't be stingy and decided to spend real money. .

After hearing this, the combat staff felt a little unsafe.

"Your Excellency, Commander, the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Alliance Army cannot be reused at all, and many of them are colluding with the guerrillas."

"I suggest that at least one brigade of troops be retained in these places. Without the imperial army to suppress them, there might be some trouble."

After hearing this, Lieutenant General Nakaso Moritaka felt that what he said was very reasonable. If there was no suppression by the imperial army, there might really be problems.

"In addition, I suggest that the 104th Division be transferred to Yangcheng." The combat staff made the suggestion again.

Deploy the 104th Division?

Upon hearing this suggestion, Lieutenant General Nakata Moritaka frowned slightly.

Because of the incident with the Fourth Division, the Japanese army now has no favorable impression of the division formed by the Osaka people.

The 104th Division was also formed by Osaka Reserves. This group of more than 30 people also perfectly inherited the fine traditions of Osaka businessmen.

Taking business to the extreme.

If it was before, he might have scolded him a few times.

But after the incident with the Fourth Division, he now turns a blind eye and doesn't need to worry about them as long as they don't cause trouble.

Now that he heard that the 104th Division was going to be transferred to Yangcheng, he was naturally a little worried.

Will this sell Yangcheng?

"Your Excellency, Commander, it's okay to let the 104th Division go through so much trouble. Why not transfer them to Yangcheng? Under our noses, we will know what they want to do." the combat staff explained.

What he means is that since I have been placed in the city, under the supervision of the troops directly under the military headquarters, nothing will happen to me, right?

The idea is indeed quite good.

Even Lieutenant General Nakaso Moritaka had to admit that what the other party said did make sense.

It's not okay to just leave it alone.

"Well, in that case, then I will send a telegram to the 104th Division and ask them to rush to Yangcheng. As for the Chaozhou area, it will be temporarily handed over to the custody of the Imperial Association Army. In addition, I will send a telegram to Governor Isotani Rensuke of Xiangjiang and ask him to Send a brigade to Chaozhou." Lieutenant General Zhongsheng Shengtiao issued a new order.

"Hai."

On the other side, Jiro Sato took Yuta Inoshita to Qiongzhou by plane, then took a destroyer to the outside of Chaozhou, and then the two of them landed on a sparsely populated seaside.

"Baga, what are you doing?" Jiro Sato and Yuta Inoshita had not gone very far when they encountered a group of Japanese patrols, led by a sergeant who was preparing to arrest these stowaways.

As a result, I heard Sato Jiro speaking in Japanese with an Osaka accent.

"Baga..."

With that said, Yuta Inoshita next to him stepped forward and slapped the sergeant twice.

"Baga, idiot..."

The stunned sergeant didn't know what to do for a while.

The Japanese soldiers behind him were also stunned.

Did you meet someone of your own?

It's not like they didn't encounter guerrillas pretending to be Japanese soldiers.

You can tell when you hear the accent. To put it bluntly, it's similar to a dialect.

Japanese with an Osaka accent is impossible to learn in a short period of time unless you were born in Osaka.

Therefore, the sergeant couldn't make up his mind for a while, wondering whether he should arrest these two people.

"Baga, why are you in a daze? Take me to your commander." Yuta Inoshita looked at the sergeant in front of him who was still in a daze and slapped him again.

"Hai Yi, our squad leader is right in front." The sergeant quickly lowered his head and said respectfully.

As a result, when he came to the team leader, he also received a slap in the face.

Who told him that he only had the rank of second lieutenant, even Inoshita Yuta had the rank of major at this time.

Faced with a small second lieutenant, he can naturally handle it easily, not to mention that everyone is from Osaka.

It wasn't until he was facing Major that he moved Sato Jiro out.

When they saw Sato Jiro's rank of colonel, the Japanese major on the opposite side immediately respectfully sent them to the regiment headquarters.

Later, after a lot of twists and turns, we came to the 104th Division.

"Senior, I haven't seen you for several years, but you are still as charming as ever." At the 104th Division Headquarters, Jiro Sato looked respectfully at Lieutenant General Suzuki Saduji in front of him.

"Baga, do you still have the guts to come here? Do you want to die?" Lieutenant General Suzuki Sadji coldly snorted.

"What do you want to do with the Fourth Division? Why do you want to rebel?"

Because of the rebellion of the Fourth Division, the 104th Division was also affected to a certain extent, and even the supplies were much worse.

Of course, these problems do not trouble Osaka people.

Without supplies, they went about their business alone.

Selling weapons is childish.

Some directly started selling illegal salt.

They even colluded with the guerrillas.

For a moment, Lieutenant General Suzuki Teiji didn't know what to say.

Because he has just been transferred, there are some things that cannot be acted upon rashly, otherwise problems may arise.

After all, it's an old tradition to go from bottom to top.

"Rebellion? We don't call it rebellion. We are just tired of this endless war. Osaka people should not participate in this war. Isn't it good to do business in peace?" Sato Jiro shook his head and retorted.

"Senior, don't you know that the empire can no longer be sustained?"

"What is the situation on the mainland, you should know better than our situation."

"At the beginning of the war, our people still had enough to eat, but now many people only have two rice **** a day, and many even have to dig wild vegetables to make ends meet."

"Even so, we are still recruiting troops."

"We have sacrificed many people for this endless war."

"We are not calling this rebellion, we are just opposing the war."

I have to say that Sato Jiro's eloquence is quite good. At least many people in the entire division gave him a thumbs up. Finally someone spoke up.

Some people even know Jiro Sato.

After all, the 104th Division was formed from the left-behind personnel of the Fourth Division, so it is normal for everyone to know each other.

Some officers even secretly sent people out to contact the middle and lower-level officers to prevent the division commander from getting angry and killing Sato Jiro.

We all share the same blood and are from Osaka, so naturally we will help whatever we can.

"So what are you doing here?" Lieutenant General Suzuki Teiji angrily shouted with some dissatisfaction.

"Senior, I'm here to persuade you to abandon the darkness and turn to the light." Sato Jiro said seriously.

"Baga Yalu, are you here to persuade me to surrender?" Lieutenant General Suzuki Teiji suddenly became furious. He did not expect that the other party was actually here to persuade me to surrender.

Although he was furious, others in the division headquarters seemed indifferent. Some were even curious about the terms of surrender.

This is not surprising at all.

After all, Osaka businessmen can talk about business and anything else.

Moreover, the 104th Division's life was not good at all during this period. If they didn't do some business to maintain their livelihood, they might not even have enough to eat.

"Senior..." Sato Jiro wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Lieutenant General Suzuki Sadji.

"Don't call me senior, I don't have a junior like you, you bastard..."

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, don't you want to hear my conditions?" Sato Jiro looked helpless. He didn't expect the other party's reaction to be so big.

"What conditions?" At this time, a colonel asked.

"Fujiwarkun, are you here?" Sato Jiro glanced at him, but he didn't expect that he was an acquaintance, and he was slightly surprised.

"Of course, I was the only one in the Fourth Division staying in Osaka. I originally thought it would take a long time to see you, but I didn't expect to see you here. It's really surprising." Osaka Fujiwara looked at Sato Jiro with a smile on his face. .

"But I'm curious about what conditions are offered."

As an Osaka native, I am really very sensitive about doing business.

No matter whether the business can be negotiated or not, at least ask the other party clearly about the conditions offered by the other party.

"Thirty million yen, let the 104th Division surrender." Sato Jiro didn't waste any time and directly reported a number.

Upon hearing the 30 million yen, many officers in the division headquarters were quite moved.

As mentioned before, the income of the Japanese army was very low.

The 104th Division is a Class C division, and some low-level soldiers basically only have a few yen, which is not enough to buy a chicken.

So their life was very hard.

I was really excited when I suddenly heard about 30 million yen.

Even Lieutenant General Suzuki Teiji had to admit that this figure was indeed beyond his expectations.

"Thirty million yen. According to the calculation, everyone can get close to 3,000 yen. This is a huge amount of money. Even the lowest-level soldier will have to serve as a soldier for forty years without food or water. Only then can we get it." Colonel Fujiwara suddenly understood why the Fourth Division was rebelling.

At the same time, he was also curious about how much yen Sato Jiro got.

According to the news, the Fourth Division sold the fleet of the French Indochina Navy to the Sichuan Army and received a sky-high price.

Of course, this news has not been confirmed.

"Sato-kun, why did you rebel?" Osaka Fujiwara asked again.

This matter has always been a mystery.

Because the Fourth Division is a Category A division with a bright future, why did it rebel?

Now that the person involved is right in front of us, we naturally have to ask clearly.

"There is no way, they gave too much, the first time they gave 100 million yen, and the second time they gave 200 million yen." Sato Jiro knew that if he didn't make it clear today, it would be impossible to get the 104th Division to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side. of.

Sure enough, when they heard 300 million yen, the entire division headquarters was in an uproar.

Three hundred million yen!

This is simply an astronomical figure.

Even if the Fourth Division is close to 30,000 people, each person can receive an average of about 10,000 yen.

This is simply an astronomical figure.

Some low-level officers are constantly calculating how many years they have to serve as soldiers to get 10,000 yen.

Even becoming a general takes two or three years.

But according to the Japanese army's always strict hierarchy, officers will definitely get more.

Many people even secretly guessed that Jiro Sato received at least tens of thousands of yen.

No!

Even more!

"Can I ask, was it the first time that 100 million yen was lost in Bangkok?" After a long time, Osaka Fujiwara asked.

"Yes." Sato Jiro admitted very simply.

Now that we have reached this point, there is no need to keep hiding it.

"One more question, how much did you share?"

"Not much, only two million yen." Sato Jiro raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

Compared to 300 million yen, it is indeed not much.

But for his original military salary, this was money he would never earn in his lifetime.

Upon hearing this number, Fujiwara Colonel's eyes widened with jealousy.

Two million yen.

Even if he works till death, he won't get so much money.

“And it's still in U.S. dollars.”

Sato Jiro's words made everyone in the division headquarters even more envious and jealous.

Everyone knows that the purchasing power of the Japanese yen has been declining due to successive years of war.

Now, apart from the British pound, the currency with the strongest purchasing power is the US dollar.

"Baga, what do you think this is?" Finally, Lieutenant General Suzuki Teiji couldn't help roaring.

"Shut up..." Before Jiro Sato could speak, Osaka Fujiwara scolded him directly.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, we have long had enough of this endless war. If you can withdraw from this war, why don't you agree?"

"However, Sato-kun, 30 million yen is too little, not enough."

"Based on what I know about you, you will definitely not be able to afford it early without any benefit. Tell me how much you want."

Hearing this, Sato Jiro couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

"It only costs two points of hard work. You know I'm very worried about this trip. Isn't that too much?"

"As for the 30 million yen you said is too little, this is the bottom line of the Sichuan Army. Unless you can come up with more chips, there is no hope."

"Two points is not too much, but thirty million is not enough." Fujiwara Osa now only wants to earn two million yen and go home to be a rich man.

"I'm sorry, the instruction I received was 30 million yen." Jiro Sato looked helpless.

"No, I believe that my conditions will definitely make the other party increase their stakes." Osaka Fujiwara said confidently.

"Just now, the 104th Division was ordered to rush to rescue Yangcheng. What do you think of this bargaining chip?"

The update is late because something happened while I was out for dinner.

We went out to eat wontons at night. Then a young man bought melons and got into an argument with the owner of a small stall because the melons were too expensive at 3.9 per pound. The young man said it was too expensive and the boss had a very bad attitude. He called the young man a poor man pretending to be rich and had no money to buy melons. Greetings. The young man and his whole family waited. Later, the young man called the police. When the police came, they all talked to each other and finally complained about the watermelon. Is that the problem?

Damn it, I couldn't stand it anymore and then I said to the police officer, is this my fault? Is this a matter of attitude?

Later, in order to turn it into a group thing, I took it back. The boss wanted to beat me, so I ran back quickly!

Squatting down for a moment, I wonder if my boss will stab me if I go out tomorrow!
