Chen Wuma jumped out of the command car and walked into a battlefield hospital located in the east of Jiangjie City under the leadership of several adjutants. Of course, this place had long been turned into a deserted place. Before entering the hall of the battlefield hospital, the group had already smelled a pungent stench. Several soldiers who arrived at the scene first stood at the door covering their noses, and one of them was vomiting while holding the wall.

"I asked you to collect useful materials and see how you all succeed." Chen Wuma cursed angrily, but after the scolding, he still reached out to cover his nose.

"Battleman Commander Chen, I think I'd better not go in, there's nothing inside." A soldier sighed.

"No, it's not that there's nothing, it's all dead... the bodies are rotten." Another soldier said.

"Tsk tsk, you are afraid of death as such? We are still afraid of death, so how can we fight this battle?" Chen Wu and Ma Yizheng scolded sternly.

"Battleman Commander Chen, this is not the case. There are corpses inside." The previous soldier said with a disgusting look on his face.

"Let's go in and take a look." Chen Wuma said resolutely. Since he has arrived, he can't even go in and scare away after just listening to a few gossips. Otherwise, where is the majesty of his dignified officer?

Immediately, the group walked into the battlefield hospital. It was originally an ordinary factory, but after decoration, it turned into a battlefield hospital. The hall that had just entered was very spacious, which made Chen Wuma immediately regret what he said. He saw more than ten corpses lying on the floor behind the hall, most of which rotted and smelled for a long time. This scene was pretty good, because these corpses were placed in the hall when they were not rescued, but they could not be cleaned up until they retreated.

When Chen Wuma and others walked into the factory building, they saw that the huge factory building was full of corpses. These Japanese soldiers who had lost their ability to move either committed suicide or were dealt with. The air was filled with a stench. Everyone stopped at the entrance of the factory building and could not walk a step forward. The smell was really unbearable.

"Let's go, hurry up, and find someone to light a fire here after going out. It's like a slaughterhouse." Chen Wuma said hurriedly covering his nose. He now understood why the soldiers said they didn't come in. It was really unconscious that they didn't know the cruel reality.

Without saying a word, everyone quickly turned around and left. But at this moment, a Japanese "corpse" lying at the gate suddenly moved. The Japanese soldier was not dead yet suddenly shook a grenade from his sleeves that were in plaster, used his last force to pull out the safety bolt, and then threw the grenade behind Chen Wuma and others.

The grenade was loaded with the heels of a soldier following Chen Wuma. The soldier turned around and looked at him, screaming in shock: "Hurry up and hide, grenade." Before he finished speaking, he had already jumped forward, intending to knock everyone in front to the ground.

The others were shocked and fell to the ground.

However, after a while, the grenade did not explode. It turned out that the Japanese soldiers had been unable to realize their hunger for several days and had only pulled out the safety plug and forgot to pull the lead.

Chen Wuma stood up, patted the dust on his body, spat at the dead sneak attacker, and cursed: "His grandma, he is really deadly and almost brought us in. We must notify this matter, so that brothers, don't take it lightly and beware of the Japanese devils' zombie fraud."

Even though Chen Wuma made a special report on this case, the division headquarters, brigade headquarters and regiment headquarters also made serious notices, in the next two days, the abandoned Japanese wounded soldiers still caused considerable losses. Afterwards, more than 100 Chinese soldiers died in Jiangjie City by suicide attacks, including many officers.

The tragic lessons after the Jiangjie War taught Chinese soldiers a serious lesson. From then on, whenever Chinese soldiers inspected the Japanese corpses, they would first stand at a safe distance to repair a round of guns. No matter whether they were pretending to be dead or unconscious, they would not let them go.

The victory of the Battle of Jiangjie declared a tear on the first line of defense of the Japanese army, and it was also the first round of the Market Garden Operation.

The strategic significance of this battle can be said to be the turning point of the entire Sino-Japanese War. Since then, the combat plan deployed by the Japanese army in North Korea has completely entered strategic defense and there is no possibility of taking the initiative to counterattack. Not only that, controlling the important railway hub of the China-North Korea border has provided convenience for the Chinese team to go deep into the hinterland of North Korea, and directly threatened the Japanese defense lines in Shinyizhou and Huishan. The Chinese team in the Jiangjie can cut off the rear routes of Shinyizhou or Huishan at any time, leaving these two places completely isolated and helpless.

After the Jiangjie venue, China's international status was once again improved. At the same time, it played an important role in promoting the "East Asia Economic Recovery Plan" that was planned in an intense manner, making Germany more confident in this speculative plan.

In late October, China and Germany formally signed an agreement in Fengtian, known in history as the "Fengtian Contract". This contract was recognized by later historians as the "economic atomic bomb of World War I" and was the first instance of economic war planning in human history.

On November 1, the "East Asia Economic Recovery Plan" was officially launched. The Economic Strategy Office of the Ministry of Defense of China and Deutsche Bank jointly established an overseas office to be implemented step by step in accordance with the previously established economic operation plan.

Ma Yinchu decided to complete the plan to force the yen exchange rate to rise at the beginning of 1916. In order to avoid being too deliberate, China and Germany would not directly adjust the exchange rate, but instead used the pound and the US dollar to plan a weak and strong financial market earthquake in Switzerland, the United States, Central Europe and the Middle East. First, let the yen exchange rate of these countries change, and then China and Germany adjust the exchange rate immediately afterwards.

In order to achieve the first phase plan, Germany and China jointly invested 200 million pounds and used multiple overseas offices to start slowly acquiring the yen. After about two months, the yen market will first meet. If you continue to persist for a month, the yen market will fluctuate greatly.

However, both China and Germany dare not take the first phase of action lightly. Not only is this the early stage of the implementation of the entire plan, but more importantly, everyone understands that the investment in the first phase will take a long time to report, and even make plans for the early losses. After all, the large-scale acquisition of the yen forces the exchange rate to change, and these yen will depreciate sooner or later. It is good to have a 200 million pound investment recovered by 100 million.

As for the hype of national gold prices, most of the matters are left to German private chaebols for arrangement. German chaebols will use their private relationships, multinational corporations and multinational banks to first create a batch of paper gold that does not exist, and then use the funds absorbed by paper gold to suppress the national gold price.

Although this also requires a large amount of capital investment, once the operation is successful, you can make a lot of profits within half a year.

Therefore, the German chaebols seem to be more active and harder in speculating on gold, almost stopping most of the businesses in this split plan. Of course, China will also invest in it. After all, it is a pleasure to buy gold while it is low. However, the amount you can acquire can only be found in how much it has been released before. Perhaps it is not as good as the German private chaebols, but it is more or less a piece of meat.

Shortly after the opening of the "East Asia Economic Recovery Plan", another war broke out on the Korean battlefield. After half a month of sneaking and in-depth, the Fourth Division of the National Defense Force suddenly appeared in Dongxingli, more than 100 miles east of the Wothi Peak, and took Dongxingli as a pedal to launch a raid on the 16th Japanese Division, which had just retreated from the Jiangjie border to Xiongchuan.

This raid almost wiped out the entire army of the 16th Division. If it weren't for the nearby 10th Division's brigade coming to support it quickly, I'm afraid the 16th Division would have been very likely to have told me here. Under the cover of the 10th Division, the remaining troops of the 16th Division fled in panic to the rear of the second line of defense.

The 16th Division, which had been going through a long battle, finally settled down. After counting, it was found that the entire division was missing by two-thirds, which included the wounded soldiers. It has to be said that the 16th Division was completely crippled after five months of fierce battle, and it would take at least one year to recover its vitality.

Due to the sudden advance of the Fourth Division of the National Defense Forces and the smooth push of the front line to Miaoxiangshan and Wotafeng area, the Japanese side had to terminate the follow-up project of the second line of defense and hastily mobilized troops to enter the fortifications to be deployed. Although the defense line from Hamking to Akutagawa has not been fully completed, according to the previously expected plan, this line of defense can be put into practical application.

As a hasty response, the second line of defense not only lacks sufficient troops to garrison, but also all positions and fortifications still follow the old engineering concept, such as there is no bunker specifically used to prevent air strikes, no frontier obstacles are set up to block armored vehicles, etc. Even though Japanese engineers already know these defects, the second line of defense has already started construction. Once the foundation is laid, it must be restarted if it wants to be modified. It is obvious that the Japanese army does not have enough time at all.

Since the loss of the Jiangjie Realm, the Japanese General Staff Headquarters in Seoul held military meetings for several days to discuss the situation of the Korean War that had been completely out of control. However, from the end of October to the beginning of November, the continuous meetings day and night still could not determine a new combat plan, and the entire General Staff Headquarters headquarters was in a deadlock.

On November 5, Minister of the Army, Uehara Yosaki Uehara, Chief of Staff of General Staff Haguegawa Yodo arrived in North Korea by boat, and immediately announced that he would remove all positions in the Seoul Command, and the Japanese local staff headquarters would directly control the Korean battlefield. On the afternoon of the same day, Kuroki Naizaki, the Chief General of the Seoul Command and the Director of the North Korean Military Director, committed suicide in the office, leaving a suicide note to bear all the guilt for the failure of the frontline war.

Kuroki Weizaki's qualifications are even better than Uehara Yosuke. He is a veteran who is directly on par with Hasegawa Yosuke. In fact, Uehara Yosuke and Hasegawa Yosuke did not hold Kuroki Weizaki accountable for this arrival in North Korea.

With the strength of four divisions, the Japanese army blocked the CPC team twice as long as its first line of Yalu River for five months, which was already doing its best. From the beginning of the war, Japan understood that the CPC team had many advantages, and Japan lacked sufficient preparations in North Korea. The original plan was that the seven divisions had only four divisions in combat, and they were obviously inferior to China in artillery and air force.

Of course, Uehara Yuzusaki and Hasegawa Yoshima still understood the reason why Kuroki Weizhen committed suicide. Although the Japanese army held the front line with three divisions for five months, when this line of defense was torn apart, the whole situation was out of control like a landslide.

The Fourth Division of the National Defense Forces took only one month to push the war to the second line of defense. Several other divisions also successfully blocked the traffic lines between Shinyiju and Huishan, causing the 7th Division and the 17th Division to completely lose contact with the rear.

It is not difficult to imagine that in less than a month, the 7th Division and the 17th Division will be wiped out. They will not be as lucky as the 16th Division and can barely break through, because their strategic position is too far from the rear. Even if they break through and retreat desperately, they will be bitten to death halfway through the road.
