Chapter 697
Seeing that Tang Yufeng and Chen Zhengyu were both staring at this matter, they must make a mistake. Zhou Cheng knew that he could not fool him, so he could only use his brain to make up a reason to explain.
"I plan to show off with the Japanese while the National Rescue Army was reorganized into the Imperial Army!"
"When the Japanese adapted the National Salvation Army, they promised us that they would definitely send all the weapons, ammunition and ammunition. We will only accept the adaptation after seeing the things."
"At that time, showdowns not only gave all the benefits, but also caught the Japanese off guard."
"All Japanese and puppet troops believe that the reorganization of the Imperial Army of the National Salvation Army has become a fact. The Japanese and puppet troops stationed around us must be very relaxed and have no vigilance at all."
"We took the opportunity to show off with them. The entire army was dispatched and actively attacked the Japanese and puppet troops around the defense zone. We would definitely be able to kill the Japanese and puppet troops around us at the minimum cost."
"After two months of rest and training, the combat effectiveness of all the troops of the National Salvation Army has reached its best state."
"As long as we damage the Japanese again and kill a large number of troops that are not large, even if the Japanese want to take revenge, we will have to spend a lot of time to mobilize troops and raise supplies. When they are ready for attack, the autumn harvest in the defense zone will be over, and we can let go of the Japanese and fight a good battle!"
Seeing that Zhou Cheng was right and had nothing to do with it, the suspicious expressions on the faces of Tang Yufeng and Chen Zhengyu finally disappeared.
At this moment, Zhou Cheng spoke again: "The plan cannot keep up with the changes. Unexpectedly, the headquarters will launch a large-scale attack war at this time."
"It's better to come by than to come by a coincidence. I decided to temporarily change our previous action plan and not negotiate with the Japanese. I will use this large-scale attack war to get more benefits from the Japanese!"
Speaking of the benefits, Tang Yufeng was more excited than anyone else.
The only mountain artillery shells that the National Salvation Army lacks most are available to the Japanese. Apart from the way to seize the battlefield, the only way to trade with the Japanese can get it.
For more than two months, the defense zone has used the safety of the Zhengtai Railway's pacification section and the Yangquan section as bargaining chips, and successfully recovered 400 mountain cannon shells from the Japanese army.
In Tang Yufeng's opinion, this is a no-cost deal. Every time I think of this, my face is filled with joy.
When he heard Zhou Cheng say that he planned to take the opportunity to gain more benefits from the Japanese, Tang Yufeng's first thought was mountain cannon shells.
Ask immediately: "What are you going to do, leader?"
Zhou Cheng replied confidently: "Faced with this large-scale attack battle launched by the headquarters, the Japanese army must have reached an agreement with us immediately and will incorporate us now."
"Only in this way, their short-sized forces can be alleviated, and more troops can be gathered to deal with the Eighth Route Army and protect their railway and road transport lines."
"Since the Japanese are so anxious to incorporate us, I'm not as good as they want."
"Captain, you have to take advantage of the situation!" Tang Yufeng understood and blurted out as he watched Zhou Cheng blurt out.
"So you can say that!" Zhou Cheng nodded and admitted.
"After the Eighth Route Army's raid on railways and highways began, I estimate that except for the railway lines in Pingding Heyangquan, the railway lines in other places would not be destroyed, and some of the railway lines in other places would be destroyed to a greater or lesser extent."
"We took the opportunity to increase the cost of protecting the Zhengtai Railway. No matter how angry the Japanese are, they dare not fight us head-on at this time, unless they want to pacify the two sections of the railway lines in Yangquan, which are like other places, and are devastatingly damaged."
"Captain, the Japanese who negotiated with us are here again, and it seems very anxious!" Deputy Commander Zheng Yunshan suddenly ran in.
Tang Yufeng and Chen Zhengyu showed a surprised expression at the same time. Unexpectedly, the regiment commander said that the Japanese were eager to recruit the National Rescue Army, and their negotiators appeared immediately at the regiment department. This kind of judgment ability was too strong.
We looked at Zhou Cheng together, with an expression of admiration from the bottom of our hearts, waiting for him to give orders.
Zhou Cheng seemed to have thought of this scene before him, and without thinking about it, he began to give orders as he looked at Zheng Yunshan: "Take him to the conference room directly. I guess correctly: the other party should have agreed to all the conditions we had put forward before and wanted to recruit us immediately. This will not only liberate their large number of troops to deal with the Eighth Route Army, but also play our card at critical moments, put pressure on the Eighth Route Army and reduce their defensive pressure on the railway line!"
Zhou Cheng took Tang Yufeng and Chen Zhengyu into the conference room as soon as he came to negotiate, the Japanese who were eager to express their attitude.
"Captain Zhou, after careful research and decision by the military headquarters, we agree to all the adaptation conditions proposed by your army."
"But your army must also agree to us with a condition: because time is tight, we will reorganize your army into the Imperial Army within three days. Your army must also send a clear telegram to the outside world at the moment of the troops being reorganized, telling everyone: the fact that the National Salvation Army has defected to the Imperial Army of the Great Japanese Empire!"
The Japanese are ready to agree to Zhou Cheng.
As long as he nodded, he immediately discussed with him the specific time and location of the army's reorganization...
What disappointed him was that Zhou Cheng just smiled after hearing this, and then the following text disappeared.
After waiting for almost two minutes, Zhou Cheng responded, the anxious Japanese immediately reminded: "Captain Zhou, is your army still not satisfied with our sincerity? Or your army wants to go back on its word, but takes our benefits and disagrees to join us!"
After asking these two questions, the Japanese stared at Zhou Cheng without blinking, with a very nervous expression.
Zhou Cheng quickly waved his hand: "No, you misunderstood! The negotiations between us have reached this point. The National Salvation Army has no way out and will definitely not go back on its word!"
"Then why don't you accept the adaptation?" the Japanese continued to ask!
Zhou Cheng pretended to be embarrassed and looked at the Japanese and explained with a hesitation: "I suddenly thought of the two adaptation conditions that the Guijun said before the negotiations, because he was worried that the two adaptation conditions that the Guijun deliberately missed. Since the Guijun is so happy, it is better to agree to the two conditions together."
"As long as your army meets our last two conditions and transports the weapons, ammunition and materials that promise us, the National Salvation Army will be reorganized into the Imperial Army immediately. I will also send a clear telegram to the National Salvation Army to the Imperial Army to truly surrender to your army!"
The Japanese were very angry and thought Zhou Cheng was too greedy and didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was thick.
But when he thought of the death order issued by the military headquarters to him just now, he could only suppress the anger that was coming out of his heart, force himself to calm down, and ask in response to Zhou Cheng's gaze.
"What two conditions?"
Zhou Zhima showed a gratitude expression and quickly replied: "It's very simple. As long as your army adds four thousand mountain cannon shells, one thousand field cannon shells, and also gives us ten caravans of scrap steel and two caravans of scrap copper!"
"No!" The Japanese refused without hesitation.
Although the military headquarters asked him to recruit the National Rescue Army at all costs, he was not a fool. He knew what could be given to the National Rescue Army and what could not be given to them.
Among the weapons and ammunition that cannot be given to the National Salvation Army, the first one is heavy weapons and supporting artillery shells.
Zhou Cheng asked for five thousand mountain artillery shells when he opened his mouth, and the military headquarters was the first to disagree.
As for scrap steel and scrap copper, everyone knows that the National Salvation Army is using them to produce weapons and ammunition.
Every time you ask for one or two carts, everyone can understand that it would be too much for Zhou Cheng to ask for more than a dozen carts at once. If the military department agrees, it is tantamount to giving them weapons and ammunition of the same weight.
The National Salvation Army is already full and is not short of weapons. It has reserved so much scrap steel that can produce weapons and ammunition at once, so there must be some conspiracy hidden, so he cannot agree to this condition.
