Qin Wei and others used intelligence to support Japan, tempted Japan with oil and other resources, and "forced" Japan to put a knife on the Soviet Union. This was to divert the pressure from their own country. The Soviets were not fools. Seeing that they could not stop the Japanese offensive for a while, they immediately thought of pulling China. Cui Koff was on the surface to question the Chinese government about the intelligence leak, but in fact they also wanted to use a lot of aid to enhance the strength of the Chinese team and encourage the Chinese team to attack the Japanese, thereby reducing the pressure on the Soviet Union itself...

But this is obviously not a bad thing for China.

It’s better to get some than nothing, right?

150 fighter jets, 100 bombers, more than 500 trucks and other equipment... Even though the National Government has made several fortunes recently, it cannot resist such temptation. Especially in terms of aircraft, although Soong Mei-ling made every effort to purchase new fighter jets from Europe and the United States through various relationships, those great powers have been delaying. Their purpose is self-evident. Therefore, these aids from the Soviet Union have become more and more attractive.

But since Cui Kefu is proficient in Chinese, how could he not understand a little Chinese culture?

"If you don't see a rabbit, don't show your eagle!"

This is Cui Kov's attitude. The Soviet Union could not let the Chinese government give in on intelligence. Anyway, the Japanese have already fought and they are still fighting so hard. The Far East Red Army has almost lost all the losses, and it would be too late to ask for any explanation. However, the Chinese team must show their "desire" for the Japanese. If you don't hit the Japanese, I won't give you these things. Don't think that controlling the government is great. There are also the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army there. They are also led by the Chinese **, and they have a natural close relationship with the Soviet Union... If you drag and don't give an answer, or drag and don't hit the Japanese, I will hand them all these things.

Cui Koff did this. Before Chiang Kai-shek and others could react, he first allocated a division's weapons to the Eighth Route Army to warn him.

...

"I really want to command Hideki Tojo to blow up Wasseylevsky to death... m, see if he dares to stab me like this."

Qin Wei had no objection to the Soviet Union handing over weapons to the Eighth Route Army, but Cui Kov used this method to force Chiang Kai-shek to make it difficult for him. Chiang Kai-shek to do not care about the equipment. Anyway, he has money now and has bought a lot from Europe and the United States. The key is that the Kuomintang is unwilling to see ** get support. But Cui Kov has the right to distribute these weapons. The Soviet Union wanted to transport weapons. Whether it was going to Xinjiang or Outer Mongolia, Chiang Kai-shek had no strength to stop him. This made Chiang Kai-shek feel a little nervous while being ashamed and angry. It was already very difficult without support.

If you get these weapons from the Soviet Union, wouldn’t it be even more difficult to control? In this way, as one of the masterminds behind the Japanese-Soviet War and the most important one, Qin Wei will have to bear some pressure: Chiang Kai-shek hopes that he can find a way to get all these weapons. Even if he can’t get them back, he can’t get any cheaper. Soong Mei-ling, who has not shown up for a long time, also called him and asked him to get the planes as much as possible... In this regard, he wanted to roll his eyes. He Yingqin was the one who negotiated with Cui Kov. He was just a soybean.

"The Japanese have already had a good time now. Especially the Hideki Tojo. Recently, they often go to newspapers to promote how powerful the air force he commands is and how many contributions he has made. But then again, the reason why the Japanese are able to be in the Far East is indeed very related to the air force... Of course, this is also related to you." Bai Chongxi watched Qin Wei walk around in front of him, shook his head slightly, "You don't have to be so angry. Cui Kefu wants to make a fuss. Just let him make a fuss. Anyway, Chiang Kai-shek is indeed planning an offensive recently... He will not let these things be brought over at that time."

"I oppose this time and launch a counterattack. The Japanese are not yet completely tired, and their combat effectiveness is still there!" Qin Wei shouted.

"When is this time? Wait a few more years, the daylily will be cold." Bai Chongxi was much more confident than Qin Wei. It is no wonder that he. At the Battle of Nanchang, three Japanese divisions were destroyed at once, and the Japanese commanders were all captured alive. The commander-in-chief of the Japanese Chinese Expeditionary Army, Shizuo Nishio, was dismissed from office because of this. It is said that after returning to Tokyo, he was tried by the military court. Although nothing was found and no crime was convicted, he was transferred to a reserve service and served.

The bench was cold. As soon as Seonuchi, who succeeded Shou of Nishio, came to power, launched the Battle of Southern Guangxi. With the Fifth Division and the Taiwan Mixed Brigade as the main force, the Fifth Fleet of the Navy and the Third United Air Force of the Navy, the total force was about 30,000, more than 70 warships, 2 aircraft carriers, and about 100 aircraft. They rushed straight to Guangxi with a fierce momentum, attempting to land in Qinzhou Bay, capture the southern Guangxi area, occupy Nanning, and cut off China's important external transportation line.

In this battle, the Fifth Division, which served as the main attacker of the Japanese army, was a strong soldier sent by Seishiro Sakagaki. It was the first-class elite mechanized unit of the Japanese army. It was known as the "steel army". It participated in the battles of Nankou, Xinkou, Pingxingguan, Taiyuan, Shanghai, Taierzhuang, Guangzhou and other battles and has repeatedly held the main attack tasks. Such a unit with a "glorious tradition" serves as the main attack shows Soichi Tezuka's determination. The Japanese military also believes that occupying southern Guangxi and cutting off China's external transportation line from Nanning to Lang Son, Vietnam will inevitably cause China to lose its resistance, so that the war in China can be ended immediately and complete its invasion task against China. The Operations Minister of the Army Department of the Base Camp Kyoji Tokunaga announced: "This is the last battle of the China Incident."

At the beginning of the battle, the situation was indeed quite beneficial to the Japanese army. After landing in Longmen Port in Qinzhou Bay, the Japanese army broke through the front line of the Chinese defenders and soon captured Nanning. The main force of the Japanese army immediately went north and successively captured Gaofeng Pass and Kunlun Pass. A part of the troops advanced westward, trapping Longzhou soon, cutting off the Guizhou international transportation line.

At this time, the Japanese army was very proud. The Mei agency even sent spies to instigate the two leaders of the Guangxi clan, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi, to establish a traitor puppet regime in Guangxi. The commander of the Fifth Division, Imamura, sent a telegram to Li and General Bai, expressing respect for Li and Bai's achievements in governing Guangxi. This attack on Nanning was only to cut off the transportation line of Chiang's regime, and hoped that the two generals would understand the world trend and promote the promotion of Japan and China. If they were still obsessed with regaining Nanning, the Japanese army would definitely win. Finally, they told: "The more than 4,200 warriors under the general who died in the battle in Nanning. Our army has been buried together in Zhongshan Park, Nanning, and solemnly offer sacrifices. I still want to be at ease."

But the Japanese were so arrogant that they were. Next, their situation took a sharp turn for the worse just like the Battle of Nanchang.

The Chinese Air Force attacked Nanning at night, and most of the Fifth Division still in Nanning were bombed. Then, without waiting for the Japanese to react, the 21st Brigade stationed in Kunlun Pass was subjected to a fierce counterattack by the Fifth Army led by Du Yuming. What the Japanese were most unacceptable was that there were Zhongzhao teams before and after Kunlun Pass, and people also appeared out of the Kunlun Pass from time to time. As a result, in this battle, the 21st Brigade was caught off guard and almost wiped out the entire army. The brigade commander Masao Nakamura was shot dead. After the Nakamura Brigade was eliminated, the Zhongzhao team rushed straight to Nanning, and the two sides fought in Nanning and surrounding areas.

In the end, the Japanese troops suffered heavy losses, especially what was unexpected was that the Fifth Division, which was known as the "Steel Army", was almost wiped out. Although the Zhongxun team also suffered great casualties in this battle, this was still an amazing victory compared to the previous defeats. The newspaper even claimed that this echoed the battle between the Nanchang and the south, which was a symbol of China's upcoming counterattack. In this battle, the Zhongxun team was the Fifth Army of Du Yuming, but the commander-in-chief of the front enemy was Bai Suxi.

Therefore, Mr. Bai is a little proud recently and his prospects for the war of resistance are becoming more and more optimistic. At the end of the Nanchang Battle, he did not agree with Chiang Chiang launching a counterattack. (In history, if Chiang hadn't intervened randomly, Bai Chongxi would have almost wiped out the Fifth Division.)

...

"Old Bai, Chief Bai... I know you are very popular recently, but do you really think it's appropriate to counterattack at this time?" Qin Wei did not hide his contempt for Bai Chongxi. This guy is indeed a super big man in military affairs, but he is even worse than him, a novice in politics... "Our overall strength is still far behind Japan. Moreover, do you think Japan is fighting with the Soviet Union now, so there is not much power to use in China? If it is necessary, they will immediately negotiate peace with Stalin. Do you believe it?"

"You're just a guess." Bai Chongxi also despised Qin Wei, "I have dealt with the Japanese too much. That's a wolf, and I will never be able to eat enough. The Soviet Union is unable to resist now. Meijiro Umezu is attacking Sea Cucumber Wei with all his strength. Once this Far East fortress falls, the Soviet Union's power in the Far East will be severely damaged. The Japanese have established a firm foothold in the Far East... They will not give up such a piece of fat because of the defeat on the Chinese battlefield."

"But Stalin is not something we can compare with," Qin Wei shouted: "And choose to counterattack at this time. You are helping Stalin, not China."

"Just. It's not right to drive the Japanese out of China... Could it be that you want the Japanese to stay in our Chinese territory for a few more years?" Bai Chongxi asked back.

"You are determined this time. Let's make a bet, how about it?" Qin Wei asked suddenly.

"What bet?" Bai Chongxi asked.

"I don't ask to drive the Japanese out of China now. As long as this counterattack is smooth and we can achieve 80% of our expected goals, I will promise you one thing; if this counterattack is not smooth and we can achieve 80% of our target, you will also promise me one thing. Of course, this matter will definitely not involve conscience and morality, or something outside of our ability. How about it?" Qin Wei said.

"Don't agree." Bai Chongxi shook his hand, "This counterattack requires your information. If you do something bad from it, wouldn't I be sure to lose?"

"You are the kind of villain who judges a gentleman." Qin Wei shouted: "Is that kind of person? Do you think I don't want to drive all the Japanese away now? This time I will definitely do my best."

"Really?" Bai Chongxi looked at him with a suspicion.

"If you ask this again, I will break up with you immediately. I will ignore the war you command in the future." Qin Wei said.

"That's not OK. How can military affairs be 100% sure? Achieving an 80% goal is a big victory! Although I have some confidence, I haven't reached that level yet." Bai Suxi still shook his head.

"Then it's seventy percent!"

"It's still a big victory!"

"Not 50%, right? Then you still have confidence?" Qin Wei shouted.

"With our strength against Japan, it will be evenly matched with 50% chance of winning. What else do you want?" Bai Chongxi looked at him contemptuously: "And when it comes to the actual situation, it can't be half-to-half. If you say that you can achieve the goal of forty percent... I will fight you this bet!"

"Are you really 'little Zhuge'? What a 'white fox'?" Qin Wei asked with a rare look on his face.

"You don't dare?" Bai Chongxi actually began to become inspiring.

"I really don't dare," Qin Wei hesitated for a moment: "But looking at you like this, I'm really unhappy... I've bet!"

"Okay! Then just say a word!" Bai Chongxi stretched out his hand and slapped Qin Wei, making this promise that he would regret for the rest of his life in the future.
