    After giving the new group leaders a little beating, Li Guoyao ignored them. They were just a few small group leaders who could not make any big waves.

    Although these people are not loyal to him, Li Guoyao, they are still Chinese soldiers and part of China's national defense force. In the face of national justice, Li Guoyao does not believe that they really dare to risk the world's disapproval and do things that harm the Seventh Division.  .

    Of course, if they really dare to do it, Li Guoyao will naturally not let them go.

    Although there have been a lot of bad things these days, there are also good things. First of all, after the commendation order was issued, because the unit was upgraded from a B division to an A division, Li Guoyao once again received a reward from the system - 2000 points plus a lottery opportunity.

    ¡° However, since there was only one chance, Li Guoyao did not draw immediately. He was prepared to accumulate a few more times.  After all, a lottery is really unpleasant. Once you get a trivial prize, you won't even have a chance to make a fortune. You can only win the big prize by accumulating a few more times.

    In addition, good news came from the special operations team. The first squadron successfully completed the mission. After investigation, they found that the Japanese Sixth Division was gathering in the direction of Hanshan. Its artillery regiment and engineer regiment had arrived at the outskirts of Hanshan and captured  Hefei's intentions are very obvious.

    Secondly, the Japanese 26th Brigade, which originally retreated to Hexian County, has returned to Nanqiao via the Yangtze River Channel. The 13th Division is strengthening the defenses of Nanqiao and Chuxian during this period, and seems to be worried that the 7th Division will take the initiative to attack Chuxian.  county.

    Immediately afterwards, news came from the Second Squadron. After several days of hard work, they finally captured Lai'an County. In this battle, 320 Japanese troops were annihilated, one battalion captain and four squadron captains were killed, and matching weapons and equipment were seized. However, due to the distance from the base, they were too far away.  They were far away, so they only brought back a small batch and the rest were destroyed.

    The Third Squadron that performed the task of suppressing bandits also achieved good results. In just one week, they eliminated 8 gangs, captured 6 mountain strongholds, killed 214 people, and captured 1,376 people, setting the stage for the next suppression of the Jiangnan Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Force.  The banditry got off to a good start.

    "Li Guoyao's side has more good things and fewer bad things, but the National Government's side is just the opposite. There are more bad things and fewer good things. The biggest impact is undoubtedly the failure of Tao Deman's mediation.

    China has high expectations for this mediation. In fact, the Nationalist Government has been seeking a diplomatic solution since the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War. Even within the week from July 21 to July 28, 1937, Lao  Chiang successively met with the British Ambassador to China Hugoson, the American Ambassador Johnson, the German Ambassador Toddman, the Italian Ambassador Collet, the Soviet Ambassador Bogomolov, and the French Ambassador Nazia, asking all countries to mediate the Sino-Japanese war.

    However, because Japan was dissatisfied with the mediation activities of the League of Nations, it also issued a statement on October 1, 1937 in the name of the Japanese government rejecting the League of Nations' mediation in the Sino-Japanese war.  Japan has a very tough attitude and announced that it does not welcome mediation from any third country.

    But things took a turn for the better in Germany. Germany, under Hitler, believed that if Japan forced China too much, it would inevitably lead to closer Sino-Soviet relations, which would be extremely detrimental to both Japan and Germany.  Subsequently, Germany was willing to mediate and assigned Ambassador Tao Deman to complete this task.

    Compared with countries such as Britain, France, the Soviet Union, and Italy, Germany has a relatively special status for Japan. In 1936, Germany and Japan signed the "Anti-Comintern Agreement." The agreement also came with a supplementary protocol and a secret agreement, stipulating that the two parties  The two countries formed a military alliance against the Soviet Union.  Japan has since replaced China as Germany's most important partner in the Far East.

    At the end of October 1937, Todman met in Shanghai with Shigeru Kawagoe, the Japanese ambassador to China, who was about to return to China, to test the bottom line of Japan's armistice conditions.

    Kawagoe stated that Japan¡¯s basic conditions were that China must sever ties with the Soviet Union, join the anti-Comintern agreement, and achieve autonomy for North China.  On October 30, Taudman paid a visit to Chen Jie, the Undersecretary for Foreign Affairs of the Nationalist Government, and formally conveyed the German government's willingness to negotiate direct contacts between China and Japan.  He "advised" the Chinese government not to have any hope for the upcoming nine-nation convention conference, but to negotiate directly with Japan and to revise its policy of friendship with the Soviet Union.

    Originally, under the mediation of Germany, China and Japan were bargaining over the terms of the armistice. If the negotiations continued, peace talks might not be possible.

    However, what China and Germany did not expect was that after the Japanese army occupied Beiping, Tianjin, Zhangjiakou, Datong, Baotou, Baoding, Shijiazhuang, Taiyuan, Handan, Anyang, Dezhou, Jinan, Shanghai, Nanjing, Hangzhou and other places, the Japanese government began to  The conditions for an armistice are getting higher and higher, even to the point where they are unbearable for the Chinese people.

    At the beginning, the Japanese government did not have many conditions, but it required China to sever ties with the Soviet Union.??, and demanded autonomy for North China.  But by the end of December 1937, the Japanese government's conditions became increasingly outrageous.

    They not only proposed that China should give up the policy of accommodating the republic and resisting Japan and Manchuria, but also assist Japan and Manchuria in their anti-communist policies; set up demilitarized zones in necessary areas and set up special institutions in various places in the zones; Japan, Manchuria and China signed a close  economic agreement; China should pay reparations to Japan, etc.

    These conditions are actually concocting a second Manchukuo, and it is naturally impossible for the Chinese government to agree to it.

    In addition to the above, Japan also proposed many specific provisions in the form of oral explanations. For example, in certain areas of North China, Inner Mongolia and central China, Japanese troops should be stationed within the necessary period in order to serve as a guarantee; the above-mentioned relevant provisions were signed between Japan and China.  After the agreement, the armistice agreement and so on began to be signed.

    What made the Nationalist Government even more angry was that while Japan was proposing the above humiliating conditions, it had cobbled together the establishment of the pseudo "Provisional Government of the Republic of China" in North China, its occupied area, on December 14, 1937, and was planning to establish a puppet government in central China.  "Reformation Government of the Republic of China" to pursue its established policy of aggression.

    The Nationalist Government has long understood the evil nature of Japan's "gradual" aggression, and finally flatly rejected it, determined to fight to the end.

    Since this political conspiracy failed to succeed, Japan's Konoe Fumimaro government issued an arrogant statement that "it will not regard the National Government as an opponent" in order to continue to expand its aggression and support the puppet regime, which is the Konoe Statement.

    According to this extremely arrogant statement, the Japanese government stated: "In the future, the Imperial Government will not regard the National Government as its opponent, but looks forward to the establishment and development of a new Chinese regime that can truly cooperate with the Empire, and will adjust the diplomatic relations between the two countries with this new regime.  Help build a rejuvenated China"

    ¡°With the failure of Todman¡¯s mediation, the door to the final peace talks between China and Japan was closed, and the only option left was to use force.

    Therefore, in the next few days, the Japanese base camp frequently issued combat orders and adjusted the troop establishment in North and Central China. After adjustments, the Japanese base camp's troops in China increased a lot. There were five combat units above the corps level alone.  They are the Kwantung Army, the Taiwan Army, the North China Front Army, the Central China Expedition Army, and the Mongolian Corps. In addition, they also have the Chinese Front Fleet, the Provisional Aviation Corps, etc.

    So far, the Japanese army in China's Guannei battlefield has 15 infantry divisions, 3 fleets and aviation units, with a total strength of more than 300,000, which is almost 50,000 more than Japan's total strength before the war began in 1937.

    As the Japanese base camp continues to add troops to the Chinese battlefield, the already unstable war zones are becoming increasingly clouded. Coupled with the fall of a large number of key cities such as Peking, Shanghai, Nanjing and Taiyuan, the Nationalist Government's life has become increasingly difficult.

    More importantly, while mobilizing troops and generals, the Japanese army also formulated a series of combat plans, sharpening their swords and pointing them at the National Government, and the atmosphere on the front line became increasingly tense.

    PS: Brothers and sisters, the new month has arrived, and I would like to ask for your monthly votes.  Although the author doesn't want to argue with anyone, he just wants to be able to live up to his reputation. Thank you all.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
