While Wang Xuexin was busy with this, news of victory came from the front: the devils had retreated in an all-round way and officially announced the failure of their counterattack plan.

It turned out that when the Devils Navy was defeated, the Devils Army was not reconciled. They still maintained an offensive posture and hoped to defeat the Eighth Route Army.

To be exact, Umezu Yoshijiro was unwilling, and he was the only one unwilling to coordinate the attack from the four directions.

Deputy Takeshi Toyoda has clearly informed Umezu Yoshijiro that the Navy will not reinforce "Manchukuo" in the short term.

This is not because Vice-Warrior Toyota hates the army, but the current battle situation is indeed not suitable for the navy to continue to take risks: the Eighth Route Army has anti-jamming equipment, an aircraft carrier and "Wildcat" fighters equipped with air-to-air missiles. In this case, the Imperial Navy What they have to face in the battle is likely to be the ruthless attack of the Eighth Route Army's anti-ship missiles.

Deputy Takeshi Toyoda reported to Tokyo in this way: "Although we have 'man-operated missiles', its performance is even better than the anti-ship missiles of the Eighth Route Army. Equipped with a large number of land-based anti-ship missiles. Therefore, any idea of ​​​​trying to fight close to the Eighth Route Army's coastline is unwise unless we have enough fighters to intercept these missiles!"

There is nothing wrong with what Toyota Fubu said. What the Navy lacks now is carrier-based aircraft. Before that, there were only more than 100 "Zero Fighters". Must all fly... some are buggy to fix.

Under such circumstances, how can the navy use it to intercept the anti-ship missiles of the Eighth Route Army?

If it can't be intercepted, the Devils Navy will be more or less the target of the Eighth Route Army's anti-ship missiles.

Therefore, Tokyo also agrees with Deputy Takeshi Toyoda's analysis, and believes that it is indeed not suitable to send the United Fleet to China to take risks before finding a new way to deal with the Eighth Route Army.

In the direction of the stick, the commander of the devil at this time is Itagaki Seishiro. He believes that the battle is over: "The reason why our army is so powerful is not because of the navy, but because the Eighth Route Army is luring the enemy to go deep! Now that the navy has been defeated, if our army If we don’t retreat, what awaits us is likely to be encircled and wiped out!”

Naozaburo Okabe thought the same way.

However, Umezu Yoshijiro has always insisted, and has repeatedly promised that only a few more days of persistence will lead to a decisive change in the battle situation.

Because he believes that although the navy has been defeated at this time, the encirclement has already been achieved.

As long as the imperial army can cooperate with Xinjing's troops to defeat the mechanized regiments of the Eighth Route Army, there is still hope for the imperial army to encircle the Eighth Route Army and turn defeat into victory.

That is to say, but what they want to fight are the three most mechanized regiments of the Eighth Route Army. At the same time, Xinjing replenished the two main regiments in time when the devils attacked.

As a result, the devils launched a fierce attack on Xinjing with the force of three divisions. At the same time, the garrison in Xinjing attacked again, but they still couldn't help the Eighth Route Army, and they would have to retreat in the end due to losses.

Wang Xuexin can understand Umezu Yoshijiro's psychology.

The reason why he did this was as a last resort... After this battle, the Kwantung Army didn't even have gasoline to drive cars and tanks, and the Kwantung Army almost had no chance of winning this battle.

How could the Kwantung Army, the flower of the empire, be defeated by the Eighth Route Army just like that?

So Umezu Yoshijiro could only choose to put all his eggs in one basket.

But unfortunately, Umezu Yoshijiro lost the bet in the end...

For Wang Xuexin, this is not a gamble at all, but waiting for the devils to "moth to the flame".

Because several regiments of the Eighth Route Army have already made defensive preparations and waited for the devils in Xinjing. If it was in other places, the devils might still have an opportunity, but Xinjing is surrounded by endless plains, which can be seen from a long distance away. The devil's troops, followed by the suppression of the Eighth Route Army's artillery fire, passed.

Wang Xuexin's attention has never been on the devil's external attack, he has been paying attention to Xinjing.

The failure of the devils' navy will make the devils in Xinjing realize that there is no hope of counterattacking.

So what would be the reaction of the devils or the common people in Xinjing, or even the bourgeoisie who still took chances among them?

Will the contradiction between devils and the bourgeoisie be further intensified?

Wang Xuexin believes that the critical time for change has come.

The result was not as Wang Xuexin hoped. The situation in Xinjing was indeed changing but not in a good direction.

On this day, Wang Xuexin was looking at the list of oil drilling equipment shipped by Yingjiang.

The drilling equipment that Yingjiang sent first... Yingjiang is the most straightforward in this regard, because they think that these drilling equipment will eventually be sent to the Yumen Oilfield by the Eighth Route Army to drill wells, and Yumen Oilfield is actually under the control of the recalcitrant army In the middle, that is to say, after selling and selling, it is still in the hands of "our own people".

Therefore, the equipment and technicians given by Yingjiang are called "genuine goods at a fair price". Yingjiang even sent two more exploration teams, saying that they want to help the Eighth Route Army find some new oil fields near Yumen.

But Wang Xuexin found an excuse to keep them in Fengtian.

The excuse is simple. At this time, the Eighth Route Army is still fighting the devils, and a large amount of materials such as drilling equipment are likely to be intercepted and bombed by the devils during transportation.

Ying Jiang also knew about Fengtian's situation, so he had no doubts.

Of course they didn't know that they would never be able to reach Yumen if they stayed here, and what awaited them was the bitter cold land of Daqing.

Just when Wang Xuexin told them to live with delicious food and drink, Zhang Zongping came in with a telegram.

"Regiment leader!" Zhang Zongping said nervously, "The situation in Xinjing has changed, and the devils have begun to slaughter the people!"

Wang Xuexin took the telegram and looked at it, and couldn't help frowning.

On the surface, it seems that the devils extended their butcher knives to the people at the last moment, but in fact they were diverting the conflict.

To put it simply, Wang Xuexin's strategy of dividing the bourgeoisie in Xinjing from the devils actually worked, and the devils felt this too.

But they thought of a way to transfer this internal conflict to the Chinese people in Xinjing:

"Who attacked Xinjing?"

"The Eighth Route Army of China!"

"Why can't the imperial army win?"

"Because the Chinese people in the city provide intelligence to the Eighth Route Army, our every move is under the surveillance of the Eighth Route Army!"

"Who wants your life the most?"

"Of course those Chinese people who are usually enslaved and oppressed by you!"

……

So the Chinese people became the targets of their anger.

At the same time, most of the bourgeoisie in Xinjing were ghost immigrants, stick immigrants, and the so-called nobles of "Manchuria".

After killing many Chinese people, they knew that the Eighth Route Army would not take them lightly, so they could only turn to the devils and fight against the Eighth Route Army!

In this way, not only will the new capital not be disintegrated, but a new alliance can be formed to unite!

Wang Xuexin's eyes were full of killing intent, and he squeezed out a few words coldly: "If you are unkind, don't blame me for being unrighteous!"
