On the Jiaodong battlefield, the Chinese ** team launched a three-day fierce attack on the 15th and 18th divisions in the encirclement. The fierceness of the offensive, the powerful artillery fire, and the large number of troops used made the Japanese army frightened. Especially when they were surrounded by

The trapped remnants of the two divisions were like taking a tour of hell in the past three days. They were in panic. Even the commander of the 15th Division, Yuhimitsu Mamoru, and the 18th Division's commanders,

Both the leader of the group, Kamio Mitsuomi, were ready to die. They were hiding in the trenches with pale faces, waiting for the last moment to arrive.

But the strange thing is that although the Chinese offensive was fierce, it did not look like it wanted to swallow them up in one go. After three consecutive days of attacks, the Chinese army stopped without warning after causing a large number of casualties to the Japanese army and continued.

Unlike the previous battles, the battle turned from an offensive battle to a trench siege battle, which greatly puzzled the two division commanders who had already wiped the command knives of disembowelment.

On the fifth day after the war situation eased, several soldiers with white flags suddenly came to the Chinese ** team's position, saying that they were going to negotiate on important matters between the two armies. Yuhi Mitsue and Kamio were kept in the dark and knew nothing.

After discussion, Mitsuomi decided to meet the Chinese representatives first. However, when the other party came to their dilapidated headquarters, Yuhi Mitsuomi and Kamio Mitsuomi were shocked to find that there was a Japanese naval officer among the people sent by the Chinese.

This naval officer was known to both Mitsue Yuhi and Mitsuomi Kamio. He was Lieutenant Commander Gen. Inoue, the aide-de-camp of Rokuro Yashiro, commander of the Second Fleet of the Japanese Navy.

Seeing the two division commanders who were in a difficult situation and looking astonished, Lieutenant Commander Gen Inoue smiled bitterly. He said a few words to the Chinese officer who came with him, and the other officer nodded and exited the headquarters, leaving only

Communicate with these three Japanese soldiers with special identities.

Due to his mission, not to mention the agreement with the Chinese side, Ishan Yuan could not stay here for a long time, so after the Chinese side left, he directly told the two generals in front of him his intention. Soon, Yuhi Mitsuo

He and Kamio Mitsuomi learned that due to the high-level contacts between Tokyo and the Chinese government, the Chinese government had considered temporarily stopping the attack on the 15th and 18th divisions in the encirclement. It had also allowed the Japanese Second Fleet to provide support to the 15th and 18th divisions.

Certain logistical subsidies and casualty treatment. Of course, there are conditions for this. China requires that the 15th and 18th divisions must not attempt to break through or counterattack under any excuse or reason. All late-stage supplies must also be provided by the Japanese Second Fleet first.

It will be handed over to the Chinese team for verification and then handed over. For the treatment of the wounded, the Second Fleet can send military doctors over. However, the wounded cannot be sent out of the encirclement. However, from the perspective of humanitarianism, China agrees to treat some people who need first aid or cannot because conditions do not allow it.

The wounded who continued to remain on the battlefield were transferred to the area controlled by the squadron for treatment. After the treatment was completed, they were temporarily detained as prisoners of war. They would be released and returned to the country when the war was over...

After hearing these conditions, Yui Mitsuo and Kamio Mitsuomi looked at each other and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although these conditions greatly damaged the image of Japanese soldiers and were not in line with the spirit of Bushido, they at least gave them a glimmer of hope.

Neither Yui Mitsue nor Kamio Mitsuomi are fools. It has already been seen what their fate will be when the battle reaches this point. It will be easy for the Chinese Army to completely eliminate themselves. If they reject these conditions, they will be greeted by

will be the result of destruction.

It seems that the Tokyo base camp has not abandoned them yet. Thinking of being able to go back alive, Yui Mitsuo and Kamio Mitsuomi couldn't help but burst into tears. But at the same time, they were also a little strange in their hearts. Why would the Chinese continue to have peace talks?

Surrounding yourself, haven't the two sides reached the final result yet?

This answer was quickly obtained from Inoue Gen's mouth. Indeed, as they guessed, due to the tough attitude of the War Ministry, the peace talks could not be carried out in an all-round way. Under the strong request of the Navy, coupled with the excellent intelligence officer Fujita of the Empire of Japan,

After the efforts of Colonel Ichiro, the Chinese government reluctantly agreed to be lenient, so this was the way to distinguish the Jiaodong battlefield from the Northeast battlefield.

"I didn't expect that the person who saved us would be the navy?" After learning the truth, Yui Mitsue and Kamio Mitsuomi were shocked. Needless to say, when they came to their senses, they were sincerely grateful to the navy for their efforts. And to Yuan

The resentment among the bosses of the War Ministry in Tokyo and Yusaku Uehara, who had been dismissed as commander of the expeditionary army in Tohoku, was growing.

Just because they are not the pride of the Army, the Category A First Class Division, and were also divided into the Navy's command system during this war. They have become the abandoned sons of the Army madmen to establish meritorious service. As senior generals of the military

, no one is a fool, especially the cabinet that dismissed the order to remove Commander Uehara Yusaku, because Uehara Yusaku's position as Chief of Army General Staff still hangs on his head, and his status is still the highest in the Northeast battlefield.

, can continue to command the troops as Chief of Army General Staff.

"These bastards!"

"idiot!"

Yuhi Mitsue and Kamio Mitsuomi cursed secretly at the same time. From this moment on, they decided to consider everything for themselves, otherwise they would have to return to their hometown with ashes after becoming victims.

There was not much time, so they quickly discussed it for a few words, and soon the three of them had discussed all the procedures. Just after the discussion, the Chinese military officer waiting outside urged Inoue Gen that he should go back, and after sending off the Chinese personnel and Lieutenant Colonel Inoue Gen.

, Yuhi Mitsue and Kamio Mitsuomi immediately issued orders to their respective troops. From today on, except for the emergency orders personally issued by the division commander, all troops will stop engaging with the opposing squadron and hide in the trenches.

You are not allowed to fire a single shot at the opponent. Anyone who dares to violate military orders will be dealt with immediately by military law.

Not long after the Japanese hid in the trench without saying a word like a shrunken tortoise, the Chinese ** team on the opposite side gradually stopped their daily routine shooting operations. The entire Jiaodong battlefield suddenly calmed down. The two sides combined for several

There is no longer the usual fierce sound of gunfire in the area with tens of thousands of people, and it is replaced by a rare and short-term "peace".

The situation on the Jiaodong battlefield was temporarily "under control", causing Tokyo to send a special telegram to commend Ichiro Fujita for his achievements in the peace talks. Although the Japanese cabinet did not make a big deal about this matter, it was concerned that it could at least preserve the 15th and 18th divisions.

Happy.

From the perspective of the Chinese government, the calmness on the Jiaodong battlefield is also beneficial. The state propaganda machine, under the command of Fang Zida, has continuously reported on the situation on the front line since the war began, especially the coverage of the Jiaodong battlefield is more in-depth. Nowadays, newspapers specifically

Exaggerated propaganda, saying that due to the proper command of Army General Wu Peifu, our ** squadron had wiped out an entire Japanese elite division and trapped two full Japanese divisions. The Japanese government was now forced to sue for peace from the Chinese government

, its huge results are unprecedented after the Opium War. The victory of this war will only be a turning point in the Sino-Japanese War. It marks that the Republic of China is no longer a decadent Manchu Qing government that can be bullied by others, and the Chinese people will be the leader in this world.

Stand up again proudly!

For a time, with the effect of publicity, Wu Peifu's name quickly spread throughout the country and he became the most famous general in China. Compared with Zhang Zuolin, who fought extremely hard in the Northeast and suffered heavy losses, Wu Peifu easily wiped out a Japanese division.

It also surrounded two divisions of enemies, and even allowed the powerful Japanese Navy's Second Fleet to throw a trap at sea. It had no choice but to sue for peace and negotiations. At the same time, on the Jiaodong battlefield, the Chinese Navy suffered few casualties and suffered very few losses.

, no matter from which aspect, this scholar-born army general is simply the resourceful Zhuge Liang. Some people even compare Wu Peifu with Zhou Lang of the Three Kingdoms, calling him "a feather fan with a silk scarf. In the midst of talking and laughing, the captives were wiped out in ashes."

Under the encouragement of Fang Zida, Wu Peifu became a military model and an idol of Chinese people. People across the country, regardless of level, were extremely amazed and admired General Wu's illustrious achievements. Moreover, because of his scholarly background, he was among the literati.

He was very popular in the circle, and even many students began to admire and admire this Confucian general after reading the reports about Wu Peifu.

Everything has a good side and a bad side. Like the idol singers and movie stars of later generations, Wu Peifu has a large number of star followers and loyal fans in a short period of time. There are even some ladies, Xiaojiabiyu and even

Even the female students at Xinxing University fell deeply in love with this national hero. Letters of love poured in like snow flakes to Qing*dao. Wu Peifu, who was commanding the battle on the front line, simply couldn't laugh or cry when he saw these things.

"My old wife is still here!"

Helpless, Wu Peifu directly telegraphed Fang Zida and asked him to publish a statement in the newspaper, and the statement only contained these four words to express his firm attitude towards these suitors. Who would have thought that although his statement was temporary

He solved the suitor's troubles, but at the same time, he also attracted great appreciation for his character from the society. Traditional and new celebrities in the cultural and educational circles rushed to write articles for Wu Peifu, using him as an example to guide people to learn how to be a good person.

virtues, and called on everyone to learn from General Wu Peifu's way of dealing with others, which suddenly attracted more discussions.

"You really tricked Wu Ziyu this time." Yang Yongtai flipped through the newspaper and laughed. Wu Peifu has been discussed in the newspapers every day these days, and as time goes by, the content of this discussion becomes more and more bizarre. Look,

Yang Yongtai couldn't help laughing.

"Trick? Haha, I made Ziyu famous, but it's too late for him to thank me." Fang Zida laughed.

"That's not necessarily true. Ziyu is not a name-conscious person."

"Whether he likes his name or not, he must have this name." Fang Zida shook his head.

Yang Yongtai smiled slightly and nodded. In fact, he also knew Fang Zida's intention of doing this. Although Wu Peifu was a little wronged, this matter was a good thing not only for Wu Peifu but also for the government.

"It's almost time, let's go." Hearing the clock strike eight times, it was exactly eight o'clock in the morning. Fang Zida put on his coat and greeted Yang Yongtai, and the two of them left the office one after another and went directly to the office.

Went to the train station.
