    Hearing the division commander's thoughtful repetition of the name of General Umezu Yoshijiro, the new commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe and Communications Director Chen Feng all felt a little strange. This Umezu Yoshijiro had not been with the Independent Division before.  The troops had fought each other, and there was a new unfamiliar face. The Independent Division Intelligence Office had no information on this person. The division commander seemed to be very familiar with this new commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army?

    Zhao Yuhe couldn't help but asked: "Sir, are you familiar with Umezu Yoshijiro?"

    Tang Qiuli smiled. Of course he was familiar with it. In the history of World War II in later generations, this person had a place as a senior commander of the Japanese army that invaded China. The infamous "Ho-Mei Agreement" was driven by this person and forced the people at that time to  He Yingqin, Chairman of the Military Committee of the Nationalist Government and the Peking Military Branch, signed in Tanggu, Tianjin. The main contents of the agreement are:

    1. Cancel all Kuomintang party headquarters in Hebei Province and stop all activities of Kuomintang members in Hebei Province.  2. Withdraw the 51st Army of the Northeastern Army of the Kuomintang, the Central Army of the Kuomintang and the Third Military Police Regiment stationed in Hebei Province.  3. Disband the Political Training Office of the Peking Military Branch of the Kuomintang and intelligence organizations such as the Blue Clothes Society and the Inspirational Society.  4. Recall Hebei Provincial Chairman Yu Xuezhong.  5. Ban all anti-Japanese groups and activities, and assist the Japanese army in North China to suppress anti-Japanese forces and organizations.

    After the signing of the Ho-Mei Agreement, the door to North China was opened, and the key areas of Beijing and Tianjin were completely exposed to Japanese bayonets. The Nationalist Government lost all its interests in North China. This also laid the foundation for the "July 7th Incident" launched by the Japanese army.  The foreshadowing was laid, the news spread, public opinion throughout the country was in an uproar, public resentment boiled, and the call for punishing the traitors became increasingly louder.  One of the protagonists, He Yingqin, was also forced to step down sadly.

    In order to quell public dissatisfaction and public opinion, the then Chairman of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government, Chiang Kai-shek, had to accuse He Yingqin. After dismissing this person, he was kept in cold storage for more than a year. It was not until the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War that he was reactivated.

    On the contrary, Umezu Yoshijiro secured the greatest benefits for Japan from the National Government.  He became a hero in the eyes of the Japanese, and was promoted to the Undersecretary of Military Affairs of the Base Camp Army Ministry, together with General Touichi Terauchi, the Minister of War, who took office in March of the same year, and Gen. Binzan Moto, who took office as Director of Education at the Base Camp half a year later.  Formed another core of the Japanese Army and formed the new unified faction of the Japanese Army.  Become a powerful figure in the Japanese Army.

    This person prides himself on never getting involved in politics.  He also disdains to join any political factions. He maintains a detached attitude among the faction-ridden Japanese army. He seems to adhere to the traditional habits of the Japanese army, but he has a paranoid hobby for military power. He is a typical militarist.  He advocates force and has a strong sense of external expansion and aggression, but his military command ability is undeniable.  It is far better than Nanjiro.

    However, because of the unexpected appearance of Tang Qiuli, which changed the direction of history, Umezu Yoshijiro's brilliant achievements no longer had a stage to display. The "Ho-Mei Agreement" was not signed, and the Japanese army was driven out of North China. This man is still  He stayed in Japan and served as the Undersecretary of Military Affairs of the Ministry of War.

    Tang Qiuli had no way of knowing the inside story of Yi Shuai of the Kwantung Army. Based on his understanding of Nanjiro and Umezu Yoshijiro, he believed that in comparison, Umezu Yoshijiro was easier to deal with. At least, this person would not do anything worth tens of thousands.  When Nanjiro controlled the Northeast, he used political and then military methods to kill hundreds of thousands of suicide bombers. His best friend in the Northeast was General Yang Jingyu, one of the leaders of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces.  When Nanjiro served as the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, he died heroically for his country.

    Every time he thought about it, Tang Qiuli still felt a sharp pain and regret in his heart. The general's demeanor was still vivid in his mind. The two troops also fought side by side to severely defeat the troops of the traitor Shao Benliang in Southern Manchuria. When he learned the news that the general had died for his country, he  Apart from regretting it, I can't help but blame myself. If the Bloody Hands had entered the pass and tried their best to persuade the general to pass, could this ending have been changed?

    In fact, this is just Tang Qiuli's own wishful thinking. With the general's personality and party spirit, unless he is transferred, he will not fight on the battlefield of White Mountain and Black Water in the Northeast. From another perspective, the general's sacrifice for his country also exempts him.  What a big trouble!

    The independent division started the campaign to regain the Northeast. Comprehensively regaining the Northeast is the established goal, and it is completely achievable. When the entire Northeast is liberated, if General Yang, on behalf of the Communist Party, requests to exercise the authority to manage the Northeast, how should he respond?  ?

    The Northeast is one of his must-win goals, and of course he will not hand it over to the Communist Party. Will he still meet the general in battle by then?  Now, this huge trouble no longer exists. I have no interaction with other leaders of the Northeast Anti-Resistance Alliance. Moreover, the Anti-Resistance Alliance was suppressed by Nanjiro to the point of dying. Speaking of which, I still have to thank Nanjiro?

    Tang Qiuli felt funny at his ridiculous idea. His only regret was that he did not let Nanjiro be defeated.And when I returned to Japan, I also lost the opportunity to avenge the general. Instead of a politician-type opponent, there came an opponent who advocated force. The history of Japanese occupation of Northeast China will end in the hands of Umezu Yoshijiro!

    At this moment, his thinking was chaotic and complicated, "I didn't expect that this notorious Japanese general would eventually fight against me. This man is obsessed with attacking. Compared with Nanjiro, he will obviously expose more weaknesses of the Kwantung Army."  Come on, the trajectory of history is sometimes very stubborn!" Tang Qiuli was immersed in the memories of later generations.

    "Commander! Commander! What are you thinking about?" Zhao Yuhe's shout awakened Tang Qiuli from his memories. He smiled self-consciously and said: "Our opponent has changed, but it cannot change the current situation in Northeast China.  situation, but compared to Nanjiro, I am still willing to deal with Umezu Meijiro! As soon as this person arrived in the Northeast, he made such a big move in the Liaodong Peninsula counterattack, this person is not willing to be lonely!"

    "That's fine. If he hadn't broken the deadlock in Northeast China first and regained the Northeast Campaign, it would have been delayed for some time. Yu He, I rushed to Dalian overnight to set up the Liaodong Peninsula Campaign Command. You stay here.  Lu, is responsible for commanding the directly affiliated corps!"

    Zhao Yuhe was shocked. In the Northeast battlefield, from every aspect, the Western Liaoning Corridor and the Western Manchuria area were the top priority. The main force of the Kwantung Army was all gathered here.  A decisive battle, the Liaodong Peninsula battlefield, is a secondary direction from any aspect, but the division commander has to leave at this time. Isn't it a little thoughtless?

    Zhao Yuhe dissuaded: "Commander, the focus of the Northeast battlefield is in western Liaoning and western Manchuria. I personally think that you should not leave Kailu and go to Dalian at this time. Are you putting the cart before the horse?"

    Tang Qiuli shook his head with a smile and said: "Yuhe, the key to starting the Northeast battlefield lies in the Liaodong Peninsula. Moreover, the troops assembled on the Liaodong Peninsula in front of us come from three corps and require careful coordination and command. What's more, we have changed  My opponent, Han Tie, is not familiar with Umezu Meijiro¡¯s style of play, so I¡¯m afraid he won¡¯t be able to grasp the overall situation. In this way, I will take Ge Zhenzhuang to Dalian to form a capable staff team, and most of the staff will remain in Kailu!¡±

    "Yu He, the burden on your shoulders is not light. Once the situation in our favor appears on the Liaodong Peninsula battlefield, the campaign to regain the Northeast will begin. You staying in Kailu and coordinating from the center will also help me grasp the overall situation.  That¡¯s it!¡±

    Seeing that Zhao Yuhe could not change the division commander's decision, he stopped dissuading him and went out to find Ge Zhenzhuang, the director of the General Staff Division, for arrangements. However, he always believed that the battlefield on the Liaodong Peninsula did not require the division commander to personally command. Major General Han Tie, commander of the Marine Corps,  , is fully qualified for this position. He doesn't understand why the division commander is so enthusiastic about the Liaodong Peninsula?

    Tang Qiuli called Shan Hu over and ordered: "Huzi, please arrange a flight immediately. We will set off in an hour. In addition, inform Mei Ting and Liu Xinlan that they will stay in Kailu Division while Mei Xue follows me to Dalian."  , let Mei Ting pack my things with me!"

    Shan Hu blinked his eyes and said: "Isn't this bad? Leave Director Mei and Staff Liu behind. They won't have any objections! What I mean is, take them all with you. There is room on the plane anyway!"

    Tang Qiuli was very happy, "Why are you talking so much nonsense! I am going to command the war, not traveling with my wife. Besides, I can't stay in Dalian for a few days, so go quickly!"

    In the backyard, the three women who received the notification from the special guards were in the room, packing Tang Qiuli's things. Mei Ting was used to it, but Liu Xinlan didn't quite understand. She was busy working under her hands, pouting and complaining: "  Sister Ting, why didn¡¯t he take us two with him? Only Sister Xue went to Dalian?¡±

    Mei Ting smiled and said: "Silly girl, this is not a trip, and you are taking all three of us with you! Letting Xiaoxue go is also convenient for taking care of me. I have a lot of things to do, and you, little girl, don't  The conference¡¯s caretaker has no choice but to let Xiaoxue follow!¡±

    After Mei Ting explained this, Liu Xinlan became silent. Indeed, when it comes to taking care of her men, Mei Xue is indeed better than herself, but who can she blame? She has been studying at the Guangzhou Military Academy, and her days with this guy are all  There are many, but not like Mei Xue, who has been with him all day long. Liu Xinlan thought a little sadly, her eye circles a little red, but the Mei sisters who were busy packing their things did not notice her subtle changes in mood.

    There were not many things to pack, just a change of clothes. She simply packed two suitcases. After thinking about it, Mei Xue ran into the kitchen and put a few small bottles and cans in the suitcase.  Ting took a closer look and saw that they were some seasonings and the like, and she joked to her sister: "Xiaoxue has been with this guy for a long time and is very interested in him. She is well aware of his greedy habit! Be prepared!"
