Hull shook his head helplessly, sighed and said: "Greed and luck are the basic nature of human beings, and no one will actively deal with potential war dangers before they are really attacked.

So now we must try our best to strengthen our war preparedness, try our best to persuade Congress, and adjust our foreign policy as much as possible to prevent future wars from being completely out of control! "

"Well, that's all there is to it!"

Roosevelt nodded slightly, then pointed to the diplomatic note on the table and said, "How do you think we should respond to this note from the Japanese?"

Chapter 621

"Since we can't tear ourselves apart with the Japanese, do we have any other options?"

Hull shrugged his shoulders and said: "God wants to make it perish, he must first make it crazy. Since the Japanese's ambition can't be stopped, let's give him more fire and let them ignite the fire earlier!"

"Well said, let the Japanese touch this hard nail. I am also looking forward to how powerful the mysterious and powerful Chinese tiger and cardinal army in Stilwell's eyes will be, and whether they can withstand the premeditated Japanese army. Attack with all your strength for a long time!"

Roosevelt seemed extremely relaxed about it, and even looked forward to this good show for a long time, hoping that the Chinese tiger and cardinal army could once again show their prowess and seriously weaken the strength of the Japanese.

As for whether the Huaxia Huben Army will win or lose in the end, and how many people will die in this battle, that is not Roosevelt's concern.

After a pause, Roosevelt smiled and said, "Since even the Japanese know how to engage in diplomatic offensives, naturally the United States of America cannot be inferior to the Japanese!

This information needs to be fed back to the Chinese people immediately, so that they can prepare for war. Although the United States of America cannot stop the war, as peace-loving people, we will always stand by China's side! "

"What? You mean that the Japanese devils will soon attack the Shandong Peninsula with all their strength? Hehe, these devils can't bear it after all!"

Meng Wu'an soon received a call from Stilwell. He was shocked at first and then quickly calmed down. This news was already expected, and it came much later than expected.

Knowing the seriousness, Stilwell couldn't calm down at all, and said extremely worriedly: "This time is absolutely extraordinary. The Japanese are determined to wipe out the Chinese Tiger Army, so don't be careless!"

"Don't worry, it won't be a day or two for the little devil to destroy my heart! The chief seat and the brothers of the Huaxia Huben Army have already made full preparations. If the little devil doesn't go, it's enough. If he dares to go, he will definitely make them bloody There are many corpses!"

Meng Wuan's tone was still very calm, even though his heart was not calm, knowing that even if he resisted, he would have to pay a huge price in casualties, but how can he be short of breath at this time?

I really don't know where Meng Wu'an's self-confidence comes from, but he is not nervous at all. Stilwell really doesn't know what to say, so he can only bless:

"Okay, my friends, I wish you success and let the cruel Japanese pay a heavy price!"

"Thank you, my friend! The news you sent is very important and very helpful to us. I have other urgent matters now, so I invite you to come over for a drink some other day!"

Meng Wu'an didn't feel in the mood to continue chatting, after sending out a good person card, he hung up the phone, and quickly ordered Shi Weifu to send an urgent telegram back home.

In fact, there was no need for Meng Wu'an's hastily sending a telegram. At this time, the news that the Japanese devils were going to attack on a large scale had already spread, because there were really many Americans in the Qingdao Industrial Park.

As soon as the U.S. side received the official diplomatic note from Japan, Roosevelt passed the news to the U.S. companies that had business and cooperative relations with Yang Fan, so that the U.S. personnel in and on their way to the Shandong Peninsula could withdraw from the dangerous fighting in time. area.

"These little devils are getting more and more good at playing, and they still have to send a notice before the war?"

Yang Fan was very indifferent after receiving the news, even if the little devil didn't come, he had to find something to do.

Not only have the veterans trained a whole body of muscle, they have inexhaustible strength and excellent military skills, and they have long been gearing up to fight the little devil with real swords and guns.

The newly trained more than [-] reserve recruits are also looking forward to the continued expansion of the army, hurry up to fight and make achievements, and then get promoted and raise their salaries to become the real Chinese Tiger Army!

Although preparations have been made long ago, the mobilization work before the war is indispensable. Yang Fan even asked Liao Youtian to call the headquarters to call an emergency meeting of officers above the brigade level.

At the same time, the third anti-Japanese guerrilla detachment stationed in Zouping County and Changshan County also received the news, and Ma Yaonan urgently held a military meeting immediately.

After everyone arrived, Ma Yaonan said in a heavy tone: "The Japanese devils have been preparing for more than a year. In addition to the No. 12 army stationed in Shandong, the devils also mobilized the strength of two armies. Devils have 30 combat troops."

Yang Guofu nodded heavily and said: "Yes, the devils have eaten the weight this time and are determined to die! An unprecedented bloody battle is inevitable! Especially our third team is at the forefront and will definitely bear the brunt."

Ma Xiaoyun's fiery temper was still the same, and Dang even said loudly: "What are you afraid of, we are now strong and strong, and we have built a large number of permanent fortifications. If the little devil wants to break through our defense zone, he will have to fill it with his life!"

Ma Xiaoyun did not boast about himself. Since the capture of Changshan County, the third detachment has ushered in a period of rapid development. Not only has the total force expanded by more than 1 people, it has also replaced a large number of new weapons and heavy firepower. There are more than ten cars.

Compared with the guerrilla warfare in the mountains before, the third detachment was many times stronger, especially with the solid fortifications as the backing, its combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

Ye Gengxin smiled lightly: "Mr. Ma, the little devil has a strong background this time. He will definitely be equipped with a large number of heavy artillery for siege, and there will also be a powerful air force to carry out the bombing. Although we are not what we used to be, we must do everything well Prepare.

Especially to guard against large-scale bombing by the devils, so I think we still have to ask for help from the friendly brothers, at least to prevent the little devils from bombing indiscriminately. "

"That's right, that's what I'm most worried about!"

Ma Yaonan nodded, and then continued: "We have no control over the air at all, and the little devil will definitely attack us first and use us as a breakthrough.

So no matter how we look at it, we have to hug each other to keep warm. I also believe that Commander Yang will definitely not stand idly by.

At the same time, in order to prevent accidents, we have to do a good job in the transfer and resettlement of the common people. The little devils are a group of inhuman animals, so they will not care about the casualties of civilians! "

"What Commander Ma said is very true, we need to mobilize as soon as possible, first move most of the people to the rear, and at the same time, we need to get in touch with the Huben Army for joint defense.

This time the little devils came with bad intentions. Since they dared to attack the Tiger Army, it meant that things were not that simple.

And we stand in front, the terrain is in the plain area, which is the weakest link in the entire defense system, the little devil will definitely open a gap from us! "

Huo Shilian nodded, and emphasized in a very solemn tone:

"I have a hunch that this battle will be extremely tragic. If we win, we will be able to gain a firm foothold. If we lose, we will have to fight guerrilla warfare like before!

So no matter what, we must plan for the worst and be considerate in all aspects. At this time, everyone should not have any scruples and small calculations! "

Chapter 622 It's time to come

Since the colors of the two sides are not unified, whether it is military defense, social security, or economic and people's livelihood, the third detachment and the Huaxia Huben Army are in a relatively independent state of "well water does not violate river water".

This time, the Japanese devils assembled a combat force of 40 to [-] to launch a long-planned encirclement and annihilation campaign against the Chinese Tiger Army. Ma Yaonan and others felt extremely heavy.

Especially the third detachment's defense area borders the Japanese-occupied area, and as a relatively weak link, once the war starts, they will definitely bear the brunt without even thinking about it!

After some careful discussions, Ma Yaonan and others decided to stick to Zouping County and Changshan County to fight the Japanese invaders to the end, and at the same time evacuate the people in the area to the rear in advance to avoid unnecessary casualties.

Soon, large-scale military mobilization and civilian evacuation in Zouping and Changshan counties began rapidly.

At the same time, with the continuous spread of news and large-scale military mobilization, the atmosphere of the entire Shandong Peninsula has become extremely depressing, without the relaxation and laughter of the past.

Especially those refugees and their family members who have just started their lives on the right track, they are extremely worried and flustered.

They finally found a paradise of happiness and stability, fearing that everything in front of them would be destroyed by war again, and they were afraid of suffering the tragic fate of family destruction again.

It's just that worrying is useless. The little devil has planned for a long time, and has a deep grudge. This time, he will definitely not hit the south wall and look back!

In the early morning of July 7, Jinan Prefecture.

This time the Japanese devils assembled 30 elite troops to encircle and suppress the Chinese Huben Army, including the No.12 Army and the newly formed No.13 Army.

In order to facilitate command and make decisions on the fly, Jun Tada temporarily moved the headquarters of the North China Front Army to Jinan Prefecture. Last night, a few old devils stayed up all night discussing the deduction.

It was not until around midnight that the old ghosts fell asleep.

As soon as the sky was getting a bit bright, Tada Hayao turned over from the tatami and walked to the balcony with small steps.

As soon as he walked out of the room, a gust of cool fresh air rushed towards his face, which made Tada Hayao's spirit suddenly shaken.

"Yoxi, what a quiet and refreshing summer morning!"

Tada Jun closed his eyes and enjoyed it for a while, then opened his eyes and looked at the eastern sky with a fish belly, and said faintly: "The sky is still bright after all, and the long-awaited moment has finally come."

"Fuck!"

As soon as Hayao Tada finished speaking, Naozaburo Okabe, who was standing beside him, nodded and said in agreement: "If the Imperial Army can pass this big test, both its combat power and confidence will be greatly improved!

The Imperial Japanese Army will be invincible, and it will be invincible in every attack.

But if it suffers serious setbacks again, the consequences will be unimaginable! "

Kawabe Masamune also looked solemn, and murmured: "This cunning and powerful opponent has become a confidant of the Great Japanese Empire. If it can be eradicated, no matter how much it costs, it will be worth it!"

"That's right, this time the Imperial Japanese Army is only allowed to win but not to lose! As long as the whole army is united, no matter how powerful the enemy is, it will not be able to stop the advance of the Imperial Japanese Empire! Pass the order and proceed according to the original plan!"

A murderous intent flashed in Tada Jun's eyes. This was his first battle as the commander of the North China Front Army, and no matter what, he had to fight a hearty victory.

Otherwise, he has no way to explain to the base camp and the emperor.

"Hay!"

He Bianzheng nodded three times, then went back to the room to make a call.

The specific combat plan has long been determined through detailed research and deduction, and issuing combat orders at this time is just a formality.

In fact, this battle of encirclement and annihilation was doomed from the very beginning to be a head-to-head battle of positions and fortifications, and there was really not much room for strategy.

"All gun positions are available! Fire immediately!"

As soon as the combat order was issued, the Devil Artillery, which had been calibrated to shoot at Zhu Yuan, opened up its firepower and launched a fierce shelling on the first line of defense of the third detachment.

"The 10th Squadron took off immediately and bombed the target Chang'an County!"

"The 83rd Squadron took off immediately and bombed the target Zouping County!"

Knowing that the Huaxia Huben Army has an extremely powerful air force, this time the Japanese devils not only deployed a large amount of anti-aircraft firepower, mobilized the third flight group to participate in the battle, but also had a fleet anchored in Bohai Bay.

There are more than [-] combat aircraft of the Army Aviation and Hainan Airlines, so the little devil's air force is still very confident, and it is not as afraid to take the lead as it used to be.

The persimmons were picked softly, just as Ma Yaonan and others expected, the devil's first attack target was not the strong fortress of the Huaxia Huben Army, but the relatively weak third team's defense line.

"It's not good! The devil launched an attack ahead of time!"

"Quick, hide and enter the bomb defense hole!"

"Ah, what's that sound?"

"Quickly, pass on the order, and everyone enters the fighting state!"

However, what Ma Yaonan and others did not expect was that the Japanese devils did not play their cards according to the routine. It was not the expected August 8st, but a full three days earlier.

Naturally, it is impossible to defend the county seat alone. The third detachment built a lot of bunkers and fortifications in the villages and small highlands outside the two county seats.

Therefore, the little devil's first attack target can only be these outer bunkers and fortifications.

Hundreds of shells of different sizes and calibers fired at the same time, and the sound of extremely violent explosions continued one after another, breaking the tranquility of the morning at once.

The outer positions of the third detachment were instantly shaken and smoke billowed, and the defensive bunkers and fortifications were severely damaged. Many soldiers were blown to death in their sleep!

The sound of violent explosions came like thunder, and the officers and soldiers of the third detachment in the rear defense line and the two counties woke up one after another. They didn't know what happened after hearing the movement.

Everyone turned over and got out of bed immediately, put on their clothes, picked up their weapons and entered the fighting state.

"Yoxi, it's working great! These dirt roads are dead!"

Calculating intentionally and unintentionally, after a few rounds of artillery fire by the little devil, a large number of forts and fortifications of the third detachment were severely damaged, and no one could be seen in the binoculars. The captain of the devil's 77th regiment, Fujimuro Yoshisuke, was very satisfied. nod.

After the shelling was over, Fujimuro Yoshisuke immediately said to the messenger around him:

"Order the Okamoto Brigade to immediately attack the Tuba Road position and capture this small village as quickly as possible."

"Hay!"

The ghost messenger immediately picked up the phone and shook it.

"Forward, assault!"

After receiving the order, the Okamoto Brigade dispatched a squadron of ghost soldiers, under the cover of five tanks, to touch the front of the Huaxia position filled with gunpowder.

"Comrades, enter the position quickly, the devils are starting to attack!"

"Quick, prepare to fight!"

"The bazooka is aimed at the devil tank!"

The officers and soldiers of the third detachment soon found the ghosts, and they all got out of the anti-gun holes and entered the position, looking for their own targets!

Chapter 623

Wang Bianzhuang, Changshan County.

The provincial highway runs through Wangbian Village and leads directly to Changshan County. The mechanized troops of the Japanese army, especially heavy artillery, want to reach Changshan County directly, and Wangbian Village is a must.

Therefore, from a certain point of view, Wang Bianzhuang is the barrier and gateway to Changshan County, and its military importance is self-evident.

The third detachment began to build fortifications a year ago, and now it has a considerable scale, and a regiment of troops is stationed at Wangbianzhuang.

In addition to the main position in the village, Wang Bian Village also has two important outlying positions, namely the Guan Gongmiao position in the southwest corner of the village entrance and the Niulangpo position in the northwest corner.

The terrain of these two positions is not high, and the absolute height of the surface is only 40 meters high, but for the flat terrain of Wang Bianzhuang, they are two very critical commanding heights.

Therefore, these two small highlands have carefully built fortifications. Not only a reinforced concrete main fort was built on the highest point, but also two semi-permanent circular trenches reinforced with cement and wood were built around the main fort.

Barbed wire fences were pulled up in front of the trenches, and many landmines were planted. Basically, all the defensive methods that could be thought of and used were used.

关公庙阵地和牛郎坡阵地驻守兵力都是一个140人的步兵连,并配置了3门战防炮、4门平射炮、8挺重机枪、3挺高射机枪等防御武器。

In terms of fortifications, troop deployment, and firepower deployment alone, these two positions are not weak, and they are completely capable of fighting.
