Chapter 276: News from the Frustrated Ma Changfang Grassland
After the congressional meeting ended, Ma Changfang took Qu Guowei back to his residence with a grim face. In stark contrast to the other two, An Chengjie and Qian Haodong were in high spirits, their complacency evident in their expressions, forming a sharp contrast with the other two.
"Brother Ma! An Chengjie and Qian Haodong, these two bastards, actually went back on their word. A seat in Congress bought them off. Now, the situation has completely deviated from our expectations. Our two families didn't get any benefits. We only got a mere 10 million dollars. What can we do with it? Su Zhengyang and Yang Jiakai simply treat us like beggars!"
Qu Guowei was burning with anger at this time, and his words were filled with resentment towards An Chengjie and Qian Haodong. They had originally agreed to unite to prevent Su Zhengyang from gaining too much benefit in the division of interests, but in the end the so-called alliance did not play any role at all.
"Calm down, what's the point of you getting mad here! For those two old foxes, they have coveted the position of congressman for a long time. Being officially appointed at this congress meeting is already a long-awaited benefit. Why would they risk a war and get involved with us to oppose Su Zhengyang?"
"This is a really great move! It has shattered our alliance and completely pushed the Qian and An families to the opposite side of us. I think Su Zhengyang has already won the battle. These two short-sighted guys will probably be the first to take action when Su Zhengyang holds power in the future!"
Ma Changfang was also feeling extremely aggrieved at this moment. The plan he had carefully planned and the efforts he had put in were all wasted. He felt as if he had eaten a fly.
Besides, Ma Changfang has not reached an agreement with Fuso, and the benefits that are about to be obtained may become a dream.
After the two men discussed it, they still could not find any way to change what had happened, so they could only admit defeat in great anger. After Qu Guowei left the Ma Mansion with an angry look on his face, Asano Wenliang arrived as scheduled and had a one-hour meeting with Ma Changfang.
Surprisingly, upon learning that the plan had failed, Asano Onryo did not show any anger at the failure. Instead, he was extremely calm and kept his promise. He gave Ma Changfang the agreed upon amount of money and the deed to the manor. This surprised Ma Changfang, but also made him feel a little fond of the chief of the Kwantung Army's secret service agency.
Early the next morning, Su Zhengyang began to formally prepare for a counterattack against the Fuso Kwantung Army. At this moment, a message came from the Mongolian grasslands.
After suffering heavy losses in the Northeast battlefield, the Kwantung Army gave up the so-called hunting plan against the Revitalization Division. The Revitalization Division did not choose to advance recklessly, but was stationed in Sohar Banner in the central part of the grassland, waiting for further orders from Su Zhengyang.
"Governor, according to the telegram sent by Division Commander Li Feier, the Kwantung Army's Hongchuan Division stationed in Bayan City in the middle of the grassland suddenly launched a surprise attack on the Zhenxing Division last night, and the Fuso side has secretly mobilized a total of four divisions to enter the grassland, intending to encircle the Zhenxing Division. Under the command of Division Commander Li Feier, the Zhenxing Division has already launched a head-on confrontation with two divisions, totaling 60,000 enemy troops."
"How's the battle going?"
Qiao Weimin said calmly, "The two sides fought fiercely for seven hours at the border between Suohar Banner and Zhuoeryan Banner. The Hongchuan Division and the Nanqiao Division that assisted them in the flank battle suffered more than 20,000 casualties, and a total of six infantry regiments were crippled. The situation has now stabilized, and the Zhenxing Division has won an exciting victory!"
A smile appeared on Su Zhengyang's lips. The Revitalization Division was originally the Great Germany Division, one of the five ace divisions of the German Army. It was completely wishful thinking for the Japanese to get the upper hand over Li Feil.
"Call Division Commander Li Feier right away and tell him to move eastward from the grassland and head straight for Fuso's headquarters in Xingzhou in the northeast. Put enormous pressure on the Kwantung Army's flank. I will help them with a comprehensive supply in the shortest possible time."
"Yes, Governor!"
After two months, the Zhenxing Division, which had been stationed on the Mongolian grasslands and remained motionless, finally showed its sharp fangs. Under the command of Li Fei'er, the Zhenxing Division launched an all-out attack. In just less than five days, it annihilated the Ono Division on the flank, and inflicted heavy damage to the Hongchuan, Sendai, and Minamibashi Divisions. This elite division-level force with no more than 20,000 people, faced with the comprehensive encirclement of the Fuso Kwantung Army's five Class A divisions and two Class B divisions, not only did it not fall behind, but instead dealt a heavy blow to the enemy.
In the central area of the Mongolian grassland, in the Langerdo Banner in the outer area of Hull City, after breaking through the encirclement and blockade of the Fuso troops, Li Feier led the main force of the Zhenxing Division all the way north, and their target was the Hull City formerly guarded by the Ono Division.
On the front battlefield where more than 150,000 Kwantung Army troops formed a siege, the Zhenxing Division demonstrated world-class combat effectiveness. From top to bottom, no one was afraid of fighting or death. The commander went to the front line in person and the soldiers were extremely fierce. Even when facing an enemy force that was almost ten times stronger than its own, the Zhenxing Division still found their weak points and launched a lightning attack. In just three hours, it broke through the Ono Division's position and almost killed all of the tens of thousands of Ono Division's soldiers.
The city of Hull, which was originally guarded by the Ono Division, almost became a deserted city after they came out in full force.
Deputy Division Commander Wilde frowned and said to Li Feier: "Division Commander, our Zhenxing Division's biggest advantage in facing the enemy is mobility. If we take over Hull City and hold on to it, wouldn't that be equivalent to giving up our own strengths?"
Li Feier put his hands behind his back and looked towards the direction of Hull City. He said calmly, "Who said I want to occupy Hull City? What I want is to burn down the logistics warehouse of the Fuso Army after taking Hull City. In fact, the biggest advantage of our Zhenxing Division is not mobility or super combat effectiveness, but the fact that our leader can use unpredictable means at any time to allow us to replenish logistics. As long as we gradually destroy the Fuso garrison material warehouses in Hull City and Bayan City, they can only transport supplies from Chilin City in the easternmost part of Mongolia, or Xingzhou. As long as we keep harassing and destroying their supply lines, we can wear them out."
Wilde nodded thoughtfully. Before, they had a head-on collision with Fuso's five A-class divisions and two B-class divisions, a total of 150,000 enemy troops. Although the Revitalization Division had demonstrated its prowess and was not at a disadvantage on the battlefield, it had also suffered certain casualties. Therefore, Li Feier acted decisively and immediately organized his troops to feint an attack on the Hongchuan Division in the front, but in fact broke through directly from the flank. After the breakout was successful, the Revitalization Division used its mobility to quickly make the Fuso Kyomachi Division lose track of them.
Of course, on the grassland, it is difficult to cover up the traces left by such a large-scale mobile force. As time goes by, they will sooner or later discover the location of the main force of the Revitalization Division. But before they arrive, Li Feier may have burned down the city of Hull and left.
