Hundreds of millions of cloud explosive bombs were fired at the beginning, and horses were riding on

Same routine, same recipe.

However, Zhang Yunqing's influence became even greater this time.

After all, this Japanese lieutenant general is not a simple lieutenant general...

He is still the prince of the devils!

The Locust has existed in the island country for many years, and its ideological confinement has affected the people of the island country for thousands of years.

This is tantamount to slapping the locust in the face!

The mainland of the island country and its capital.

The current Minister of War is Tojo Oji who just took office....

This is a notorious executioner...

He is also a complete militant!

He once served as commander of the Kwantung Army in Manchukuo...

At this time, he had received news from the death of Japanese commander Gang Cunning in North China...

A close relative of Emperor Hirohito, Xiang Gong, has been killed in Shanxi...

At the same time, the Eighth Route Army also annihilated more than 7000 imperial soldiers of his fifth division...

"Your Excellency Prime Minister...General Chaoxiang Palace has been killed on the Chinese battlefield..."

The only person who can be called Prime Minister by Tojo Yingji can only be one of his allies, Fumiko Konoe...

This is also a politician who comes from a very powerful military family.

Not long after he came to power, there was already a shocking conspiracy.

"What! If I remember correctly, he should be in Jin Province!"

"Which troop killed him?"

This is no small matter...Emperor Hirohito's cousin...

It also has a good reputation in the country...

He and King Masahiko of Asaka Palace happen to be the closest people to Tian Locust.

It's just that Asaka Gong Masahiko is more valued by Tian Locust.

Such a character was actually killed... directly on the battlefield?

Konoe already knew the seriousness of the matter...

"It's the Eighth Route Army active in Shanxi..."

"A unit that recently killed three of our generals..."

As the Minister of War of Japan, Tojo Oiji has investigated everything clearly.

So now the answer is very clear.

"Eighth Route Army?"

"It seems...they are not at peace either..."

"How dare you kill our Prince..."

"We must give them some color..."

Konoe Fummo said.

What he meant was to carry out a mopping up of the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi.

However, it is not a large-scale attack on Shanxi.

Because this group of people had just overthrown the previous cabinet.

The political power is not yet stable.

As the person closest to Emperor Hirohito, the current goal is not to eliminate the Eighth Route Army.

What's more, the Eighth Route Army is not a main force over there...

Their opponent is the Central Military...

That is the main force...

Prince Asaka was killed, but they only sent out troops to show off.

After all, there are more important things that they need to do now...

Not long after they formed an alliance with two other countries, they still need to show their strength to these two countries...

It's useless just to show strength on the Chinese battlefield...

There are more things that need to be done...

For example, the Great White Bear in the north and the Americans...

These are their biggest opponents...

And China is just a weak country. It is only a matter of time before we win it... The rest does not need to be done...

"It would be better for me to tell Emperor Hirohito about this matter..."

"I believe His Majesty the Emperor can still understand our approach..."

Konoe Fummo said.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister... we cannot launch a large-scale attack on the Chinese battlefield yet..."

"We just fought against the Soviets and suffered heavy losses..."

"Can't go north..."

"There are no conditions for waging war in Southeast Asian countries..."

"The situation at home has not stabilized yet... There are still a group of people abroad who are watching covetously... Our situation is still quite dangerous..."

"This time General Chaoxiang Palace was killed..."

"It can only be said to be an opportunity..."

"An opportunity for our army to stand up quickly..."

"We need to publicize this news domestically and stir up people's anger..."

"Immediately afterwards, we will take action... severely punish the murderers of our Chaoxiang Palace!"

"Only in this way can we win the hearts and minds of the people...His Majesty Emperor Hirohito can trust us more..."

Although, a group of them had been supporting Hirohito in his early years when he was still the crown prince.

However, later Emperor Hirohito placed too much trust in a group of civil servants and gave them great power.

As a result, domestic conflicts have become more prominent in recent years... and the development of the army is still lagging behind...

Fortunately, we have succeeded in seizing power now...

But we still need to continue to win the trust of His Majesty Emperor Hirohito...

"Well... domestic public opinion must be mobilized... This is a big thing..."

"It's also our opportunity..."

"I'll do as you say...The Asahi Shimbun and other newspapers must appear tomorrow about the murder of Asaka's palace..."

So, the next day, such a news appeared on the Asahi Shimbun.

"Prince Chaoxiang Gongsi was killed in a sneak attack by Eighth Route Army troops on the Chinese battlefield recently."

"King Masahiko of Asaka Palace has gone to Jin Province to look for his nephew!"

"The Army Headquarters has ordered severe punishment for the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi region, and a general sweep will be carried out soon."

"This is how to avenge His Highness the Prince!"

This news spread quickly not only in Japan.

It has also had a certain impact on the international scale.

Coupled with the organization's publicity...

The Times even called Zhang Yunqing "China's General Alexander"...

Of course, they are just trying to divert trouble to the east...

Let the Chinese continue to contain the Japanese...

So as not to free up their hands to attack their colonies...

International public opinion is huge, and of course domestic public opinion is also indispensable...

Zhang Yunqing's 12th Independent Brigade became known as the army that people talked about overnight...

Zhang Yunqing's name is heard in almost every street and alley in China...

There are also many generals trying to understand Zhang Yunqing...

However, because some of Zhang Yunqing's experiences are strictly confidential...

very few people know....

Of course, people only know one thing...

That is, Zhang Yunqing's 12th Brigade was the new Second Regiment of the Eighth Route Army. It had already fought many great victories...

The Japanese generals alone have killed three...

Tens of thousands of Japanese were annihilated!

In the eyes of ordinary people, an army that can kill Japanese soldiers is a good army...

The commander of the army who can kill Japanese soldiers must be a good commander!

These are all worthy of respect from the people...

If it can be said that Zhang Yunqing's fame in China in the past few times was only spread on a small scale...

So this time, Zhang Yunqing's reputation has been completely destroyed...

Many journalists and aspiring young people have come to Shanxi...

I want to meet Zhang Yunqing, or join the 12th Brigade!
