    It was already past five o'clock in the afternoon when the telegram from the Sulu War Zone Chief's Department was delivered to Chairman Chiang Kai-shek's desk.

    After receiving the sudden good news from the Sulu War Zone, the entire Chongqing camp was in an uproar. The vast majority of people were skeptical about the good news.

    It¡¯s not that they don¡¯t believe in Yu Xuezhong¡¯s character, but the strength of the Sulu Theater is there. The 51st Army, the 57th Army, and the 89th Army composed of the security regiment really don¡¯t have the strength to compete with the Japanese army in Shandong.

    You must know that the Japanese army in Shandong has four field divisions alone. Except for the newly formed 32nd Division, the remaining divisions are all field units that have been established for more than two years, including the famous 32nd Division.  Fifth Division.

    This does not include the fact that the Japanese army also formed many independent brigades and puppet troops in Shandong. The total number of all troops should exceed 100,000.

    With the number of troops not as large as the Japanese army and the firepower not as strong as others, what can the Sulu Theater do to create an unprecedented victory?

    Therefore, two hours before this telegram was sent to the Military and Political Department, everyone was hesitant, and no one dared to send it to Chairman Chiang Kai-shek!

    This is of course because everyone does not believe this is true, but more importantly, because those in the Military and Political Department know very well the virtues of frontline officers and soldiers, and it is almost normal to lie about their military exploits.

    And this phenomenon is not only reflected in one army, but also exists in the vast majority of the army. A large number of national army generals falsely report their achievements and exaggerate their military exploits in order to get promotions, ranging from generals at the theater level to middle-level generals.  It has become a common phenomenon for junior officers to falsely report their military achievements and exaggerate their military exploits.

    For example, in 1939, the Southern Branch of the Japanese Army dispatched troops from Guangzhou to invade northern Guangdong. Later, because the Japanese army wanted to transfer its forces to the battle in southern Guangzhou, it gradually retreated to its original position in Guangzhou. Yu Hanmou of the National Army's 12th Group Army commanded troops to take advantage of the situation to pursue the Japanese army and achieved some results.

    Yu Hanmou later reported that more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers had been killed. The Nationalist Government immediately announced the "Great Victory in Northern Guangdong", saying that a total of 13,966 Japanese soldiers were captured, killed, or wounded.

    However, Japanese information shows: "According to the records of the 21st Army Headquarters, the Japanese army lost 293 killed (39 officers) and 1,281 wounded (57 officers), for a total of 1,574 casualties."

    Of course, this number should have been shrunk.

    In this regard, the data provided by Yu Hanmou's immediate superior, the commander of the theater Zhang Fakui, is probably closer to the truth: "More than 1,000 enemy skeletons were buried in the grass of Beijiang, dozens of cars of loot entered our warehouse, and the number of enemy Japanese slave officers  Fifty-eight people and soldiers, with dejected looks on their faces, knelt in front of us!"

    Zhang Fakui pointed out that the so-called "Great Victory in Northern Guangdong" was basically a defeat: "According to the report Yu Hanmou submitted to me and I forwarded it to the central government, we fought a great victory in northern Guangdong. But in fact we were defeated.  Although Yu Hanmou printed a booklet "The Great Victory in Northern Guangdong". I can't comment on the so-called great victories in other theaters, but I do understand what happened in my own theater. I was the commander on the scene, so I know that we won the victory in Northern Guangdong.  The battle was considered a victory only because the enemy retreated immediately after capturing Yingde and did not attack Shaoguan. Since Yu Hanmou claimed that he had made meritorious service, I naturally did not want to go against him. So, I took advantage of this "great victory in northern Guangdong" to recommend Yu Hanmou to replace me.  Serve as theater commander."

    The so-called Japanese army¡¯s losses of over 10,000 yuan was naturally false, but Yu Hanmou got promoted through this false military exploit.

    False reports include not only the number of enemy kills, but also the killing of senior Japanese officers. From time to time, Japanese generals who have been reported to have been killed appear elsewhere.

    For example, the Nationalist Government claimed to have killed the Japanese Major General Ohashi Hikoshiro in the "Battle of Changheng". In fact, Ohashi Hikoshiro was the captain of the 18th Regiment of the 29th Division, with the rank of colonel; the 29th Division was currently fighting in the Pacific.  , did not participate in the Battle of Hengyang; Ohashi Hikoshiro himself was killed in Guam in the Pacific on September 30, 1944, and did not die in China at all.

    A general of this level can falsely report that he was killed, so one can imagine the situation.

    Because of this situation, those in the Military and Political Department never dared to report the victory report to Chairman Chiang. After all, once the unverified battle report caught the attention of Chairman Chiang No, annihilating thousands of enemies like this  The victory of retaking many important towns and killing Japanese lieutenant generals will definitely attract the attention of Chairman Chiang.

    But if it is later proven that this is just bragging by the Sulu War Zone, then those of them responsible for verifying the results will also suffer.

    "However, it would not be a big deal if such an important battle report was not reported. For example, last year, Li Guoyao's troops achieved an unprecedented victory in Quanjiao, but they were suppressed by them.

    ??As a result, Li Guoyao's deputy brigade commander personally escorted the body of the little Japanese Lieutenant General's division commander to the door of the Military and Political Department. It was a slap in the face!

    Afterwards, many people were punished and many were dismissed from their posts!

    After thinking about it again and again, the staff of the Military and Political Department decided to send this good news to Minister He first and let him make the decision himself.

    After getting the good news, Minister He also felt a little tricky, but Minister He was naturally not comparable to those little shrimps.

    As the head of the Military and Political Department of the Nationalist Government, Minister He had his own verification channels. He immediately ordered someone to invite Director Dai from the General Bureau, and then handed the good news to Dai Li and asked him to help verify it.

    As the most powerful spy agency in China, the Military Command Bureau's intelligence collection capabilities are definitely the strongest in Asia. Even the Little Devil's Special High-tech and Meilanzhuju agencies cannot compete with it.

    After reading the good news from the Sulu Theater, Dai Li immediately verified it!

    Soon, the situation was very different. After all, Xuzhou and Linyi were both important military towns, and the Military Command Bureau even had its own intelligence station in Zaozhuang and other places.

    "How could the National Army have concealed such a huge battle in Xuzhou and Linyi from the intelligence personnel of the Military Command Bureau? Even when Li Guoyao's troops just started to attack Xuzhou, the Military Command Bureau's telegram was sent to Chongqing.

    But because the situation was unclear, the people below did not directly report it to Dai Li. They are still verifying it.

    Now that we have the good news from the Sulu War Zone, with the two facts confirmed, many things will become clear.

    After confirming that the good news was true, Minister He and others were shocked, and they immediately did not dare to neglect, and then personally delivered the good news to the official residence of the commissioner.

    After reading the good news delivered by Minister He personally, Chairman Jiang was stunned. His body was slightly unsteady and his eyes were a little dazed. Wang Shihe who was standing aside was so frightened that he quickly called a doctor.

    After a doctor¡¯s examination, Chairman Chiang was found to be fine. It was just that he had been anxious and angry during this period, and had not rested well, so his blood pressure was a bit unstable.

    And suddenly seeing such a great victory, my blood pressure rose with excitement, so I felt a little dazed. After my emotions calmed down, nothing happened.

    But for the health and safety of Chairman Chiang, the doctor still advised him to have a good rest and not to work too hard.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
