Chapter 147 Major Adjustment

Yan'an received news of the revival of northwestern Shanxi!

The news was clearly reported to the whole of China as soon as possible.

At the same time, all propaganda personnel of our party were arranged to start to crazily promote the Eighth Route Army's recovery of northwest Shanxi.

You should know that since the war started, China has been losing territory, and there has never been any news that the Chinese army has recovered the lost territory. Once this news spreads across the country, it will inevitably shock the whole country.

The Yan'an clear code telegram was sent soon.

News of the revival of northwestern Shanxi by the Eighth Route Army was placed on Jiang Guangtou's table.

Jiang Guangtou immediately convened senior generals from the Ministry of National Defense to discuss matters.

At the meeting, more than a dozen senior generals of the National Army were scolded to death, and Jiang Baitou severely denounced the senior generals of the National Army inaction.

After the meeting.

Jiang Baldon issued a strict order to the Central Commission for Administration and the Military Control Commission, asking them to find out the specific situation of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, why the Eighth Route Army was able to restore the northwest of Jin by just dispatching one 386th Brigade.

Jiang Guangtou was naturally very familiar with Brigade Commander Chen of the Eighth Route Army, because Brigade Commander Chen once escaped with Jiang Guangtou on his back.

Brigade Commander Chen recovered northwestern Shanxi with only one brigade, and more than a dozen Kuomintang troops were defeated by the Japanese army on the front line. This was completely a shame for the Kuomintang.

On that day, Jiang Guangtou directly issued a clear order to General Xue Yue on the front line. The third battle in Changsha must show the style of the Kuomintang and completely suppress the limelight of our party.

Xue Yue received the order! He prepared for the third Changsha Battle more urgently. This time she must use her Tianlu tactics to severely damage the Japanese army and wipe out the 70,000 troops of Ananweiji in Changsha. Only in this way can he be worthy of the principal, the party and the country, and the people of the country.

After two battles in Changsha, Xue Yue did not take much advantage, and he could even say he had suffered a small loss.

Jiang Baldy was not planning to carry out the third Changsha Battle, but because the Eighth Route Army recovered northwestern Shanxi, the hearts of the people had begun to turn to our party. Jiang Baldy had to carry out the third Changsha Battle, hoping to win back the hearts of the people with a big victory on the front line.

Fortunately, Xue Yue asked for battle continuously and said that he was very sure of the third battle in Changsha, so Jiang Guangtou's heart was a little calmer.

…………

Shanxi Taiyuan Headquarters!

Yoshio Shinozuka naturally received a clear telegram from Yan'an. At this time, the atmosphere at the Taiyuan Command was extremely serious.

Yoshio Shinozuka's face was so gloomy that it could rain! None of the officers in the entire headquarters looked good.

A lieutenant general of the Japanese devil was captured, two Japanese devils were killed, dozens of assistant officers, hundreds of lieutenant officers, more than 50,000 imperial soldiers were wiped out, and the northwest Shanxi was completely lost. No one of the crimes could be afforded by Yoshio Shinozuka.

Yoshio Shinozuka knew that his future was completely gone, and it was very likely that he would go to the military court. After all, he participated in the drafting and approval of the entire Shanxi combat plan. He would bear half of the responsibility for the failure of the Shanxi battlefield.

Lieutenant General Yoshio Iwamatsu was even more angry. He would have succeeded and retreated to the empire in no time, but he would have to bear great responsibility for this battle in Shanxi. If he wanted to continue to succeed and retreat to the empire, such an opportunity could be said to be slim.

Yoshio Shinozuka gritted his back teeth and said in a low voice: "Everyone! We lost the battle in northwest Shanxi and lost a lot. Lieutenant General Ito Tuoba ruined nearly 50,000 soldiers in the empire, resulting in the entry of nine counties in the northwest and being seized by the Eighth Route Army. This is a shame for our Shanxi Command and also a shame for our entire empire.

With our current military strength in Shanxi, there is no possibility of regaining the entire northwest of Shanxi. Now we must guard Jinzhong, Jinnan, southern and southeastern Jin, and we must never allow the Eighth Route Army to continue to expand the results of the war. Each county controlled by our empire must rotate its defense in three shifts, and we must be more vigilant at night. Which county’s highest commander is throwing the county? Go directly to the military law to receive the punishment."

Yoshio Shinozuka no longer has any extravagant hopes. What he can do now is to stick to the entire Shanxi and wait for the commander-in-chief of the North China Expeditionary Army to punish him at the same time.

"Hi!"

Everyone in the headquarters said in unison!

Everyone in the headquarters retreated and went to work hard.

Yoshio Shinozuka and Yoshio Iwamatsu looked at each other, and both showed meaningful wry smiles.

...

Peiping.

North China Expeditionary Force Headquarters.

Tada Jung was furious at the headquarters of the North China Expeditionary Army.

Although Tada Jun is also a lieutenant general, he is indeed Yoshio Shinozuka's immediate superior, commander of the North China Army, and he is in charge of hundreds of thousands of Japanese soldiers.

Tada Toshiki has the final say in North China. If there is any problem with Shanxi's First Army, he will naturally be the first person to be responsible.

Tada Jung said to the Chief of Staff of the North China Expeditionary Army Naosaburo Okabe: "Okabe Jun! The commander-in-chief of the First Army Yoshio Shinozuka made such a big mistake. How do you think I should be able to make the North China Expeditionary Army calm and to be recognized by Commander Nishio Suzuka."

Naosaburo Okabe said calmly: "Shinozuka Yoshio's leadership made a mistake, causing the death of the 50,000 troops of the Empire, and was directly handed over to the Imperial Military Law Department.

Ito Tuoba made a mistake in leading the army and was captured by the Eighth Route Army. If he could return to our army, he would directly hand it over to the Imperial Military Law Office.

Yoshio Iwamatsu was jointly and severally responsible and failed to recognize the situation in time, which led to heavy losses in the empire and was directly handed over to the Imperial Military Law Department."

"Okabe! It is possible to directly transfer the three highest generals of the First Command of Shanxi to the Military Law Department. This will indeed allow me to explain to Commander Nishio Suzuo, but if you do so, you will be completely abolished if you send the First Army in North China. People will be panicked."

Tada Junda: "This kind of disposal method is inappropriate. You have to change the disposal method, which can not only alert Shinozuka Yoshio and the others, but also prevent the first army sent to North China from being completely abolished."

Naosaburo Okabe thought for a moment and said, "Send Kazumura Kan (Kangmura Neji) to take over the North China's first army, Shinozuka Yoshio and Iwamatsu Yoshio were all demoted to major generals and retained at the headquarters. If you perform well, you can consider restoring your official position.

Kazumura Yanji was able to fully suppress the First Army and stabilize the situation in Shanxi. At the same time, the punishment of Yoshio Shinozuka and Yoshio Iwamatsu would not cause the popularity of the First Army dispatched by the North China to disperse.

At the same time, the First Expeditionary Army now has too few troops. It can send the Tojo Division, which has just been sent to the battlefield in North China, to Shanxi to listen to it. This can stabilize the situation in Shanxi more quickly and allow Okamura to quickly re-enter the northwestern Shanxi."

"This idea is good! The fact that the reduction of them in a row can indeed serve as a warning, allowing them to continue to retain them in Shanxi, and also stabilize the mood of the Shanxi First Army. Just do it like this."

Tada Junda: "For Okamura Jun's appointment! You will go and talk to Okamura Jun in person."

"Okay! I'll go and say that I'm going to be the commander-in-chief of the First Army in North China, and I believe Gangcun will understand Tada's difficulties."

Naosaburo Okabe continued: "But we will deal with it like this! It's hard to say before the commander of Nishio Suzuki. At that time, you may be more angry with Nishio Suzuki's Life View."

"It doesn't matter! As the commander-in-chief of the North China Expeditionary Army, I should indeed bear the primary responsibility for such a problem."

Tada Junda: "As long as we can stabilize the situation in Shanxi, we can naturally take back the lost places in Shanxi when the battle on the front line is won.

Even if Nishio Suzuo was dissatisfied, at most he would scold me, which would not have much impact on me. However, if I could not stabilize the situation in Shanxi and caused dissatisfaction among the senior leaders in the empire, it would be a real crisis at that time."

Tada Jun reported to the commander-in-chief of the Chinese dispatched army, Suzusao Nishio, to report the aftermath of the Shanxi incident, and at the same time, he thought that the commander-in-chief of Nishio Satosao said that such problems would not occur again in the future.

Commander-in-chief Nishio Suzuya scolded Tada for an hour, and finally exposed the matter.

Commander-in-chief Nishio Suzuya has made it clear that North China's dispatched troops have another problem like the Shanxi incident.

Naosaburo Okabe conveyed the order of the commander of the North China Expeditionary Army to Kazuki Naoji, who happily accepted the order of Tadashi.

After the handover, Okamura Yasuji immediately rushed to the First Army Headquarters of Taiyuan, Shanxi.

October 15th!

12 noon.

Okamura Yasuji came to Shanxi First Headquarters.

Yoshio Shinozuka summoned all the senior generals of the First Shanxi Army in Taiyuan.

Okamura Yasuji announced in person the adjustment of Tada Jun’s personnel appointment of Shanxi’s No. 1 military.

Yoshio Shinozuka and Yoshio Iwamatsu surrendered from the lieutenant general to the major general, and they did not say a single refutation.

Because they knew that this was already the kindness of Commander Tada Jung, otherwise it would be no exaggeration to send them both to the military court.

After everyone in Taiyuan Command got to know each other! Kazumura Yanji directly let the others go, leaving only Yoshio Shinozuka and Yoshio Iwamatsu.

Okamura Yasuji asked Shinozuka Yoshio, "Shinozuka! How many imperial troops are left in the entire Shanxi First Army? Where are these troops stationed? Which generals are these troops led by these troops? What are the personalities of these generals?

At the same time, how many Imperial Army troops can be called in Shanxi! These treasure army generals have the personalities."

"Report to the commander of Gang Village! The Shanxi First Army now has fourteen regiments, with a total of about 52,000 people.

20,000 troops are stationed in the Jinzhong area, led by..., with a personality...

20,000 troops are stationed in southern Shanxi, led by................

12,000 troops are stationed in the southeastern region of Shanxi, led by..., with a personality..."

Yoshio Shinozuka said a lot about Kawanamura Yasuji, and some shortcomings were added to Yoshio Iwamatsu.

Okamura Yasuji asked a lot of questions about the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi, and focused on the 386th Brigade in northwest Shanxi.

After listening to the report from Yoshio Shinozuka and Yoshio Iwamatsu, Kawamura Yasuji only felt that the two of them knew too little about the Eighth Route Army and even less about the 386th Brigade.

Although Okamura Yanji was very angry, he had just arrived at Shanxi First Army as commander, so he couldn't just shy his face with the former commander of Shanxi First Army. He had no choice but to let Yoshio Shinozuka and Yoshio Iwamatsu go away.

However, Gangcun Ningjijiang Intelligence Agency No. 76 and TXK were captured by themselves. As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy will never be defeated. If the Eighth Route Army can make such a big noise in Shanxi, Gangcun Ningji will definitely not underestimate the Eighth Route Army.

...

It was only a day after the Eighth Route Army recovered northwestern Shanxi, and overwhelming newspapers had appeared in the territory of the country and the territory. Although the Kuomintang wanted to ban it, they did not dare to blatantly touch public opinion. In the end, they could only use some strength in secret.

However, with the cooperation of our party's underground comrades and the help of many newspapers with aspiring people, the powerful tools used in the Kuomintang case did not work.

In the occupied areas, there were also a large number of newspapers that the Eighth Route Army recovered northwestern Shanxi. The Japanese naturally had zero tolerance for such newspapers, sealed up a large number of newspapers, and also arrested many people from our party and patriots.

But no matter how the Japanese army seized it, such newspapers were still circulating in the occupied areas, and the people in the occupied areas also began to spread word by word. The Japanese army had no way to control the public opinion in the occupied areas.

The Eighth Route Army recovered northwestern Shanxi and gave China a shot of heart-warranty, which made some Chinese people who had lost their confidence awaken again.

Countless aspiring people crossed mountains and ridges to northwest of Shanxi, wanting to go to northwest of Shanxi to participate in the Eighth Route Army's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression!

Countless talents began to flock to northwest Shanxi! This is the power of role models.
