Chapter 298 Okamura Neji: The 'Courage' of the Empire
Handan.
After Handan City was captured, Zhou Weihan ordered the targeted destruction of the main Japanese buildings in District XC.
Therefore, after Temple Yong arrived in Handan, he had to occupy a courtyard in DC District as a temporary office location. However, the conditions here were obviously not as good as when he was in Wuyi.
The fact that Terauchi Isamu was able to come to Handan in person to take charge was indeed an order from the top, and the order was issued directly from the North China Dispatch Army Headquarters.
When Okamura Neiji held a meeting, he had discussed with Shinozuka Yoshio and Shimomoto Yaxiong on who should be sent to Handan City.
When Neji Okamura asked this question about the selection, Yoshio Shinozuka and Mikuma Shimomoto looked at each other, and both of them thought of Isamu Terauchi in Wuyi.
In terms of ability, there is certainly no problem with Terauchi Yong. After all, he is a model in public security warfare. Although the Eighth Route Army troops attacking Handan City are suspected to be operating within the scope of Wuyi and Wu'an, Terauchi Yong can, under such circumstances, send his two
If the county is well governed, isn’t this a great skill or what?
In terms of rank, Isamu Terauchi is the captain of the regiment and has the rank of Dazuo.
Finally, Isamu Terauchi is the local leader of Handan and the co-captain of the 104th Brigade, so it is perfect for him to take charge of Handan.
Being able to select a candidate from within the 108th Division to take charge of Handan, Shimomoto Mixiong naturally agreed.
However, Handan was nothing more than a fire pit at this time. The two of them were photographed in the temple because of Yong's family background and did not dare to push it out easily, so they avoided talking about it at the time.
Finally, Yoshio Shinozuka stated that he would carefully consider within the First Army and select suitable candidates to go to Handan.
At that time, Isamu Terauchi, who was in Wuyi, also had the idea of moving his position. It was not impossible to have a gold star on his shoulder.
Then Isamu Terauchi secretly contacted him, and the result was that someone close to Neji Okamura accidentally mentioned Isamu Terauchi in Wuyi after the meeting.
Okamura Neiji, an old fox, saw the secret at a glance. Not only did he not blame Terauchi for his secret tricks, but he praised Terauchi for being a role model for imperial officers in front of many officers in the headquarters.
Okamura Neiji said at the time: "The courage within the temple is truly the courage of the empire!"
The order was first conveyed to the First Army, then to the 108th Division, and finally to the hands of Isamu Terauchi.
The orders were conveyed smoothly along the way. After all, General Gangcun spoke, which represented political correctness.
There were some understanding people within the First Army who saw that going to Handan at this time was an excellent opportunity for promotion, but many people gave up in the end.
First of all, the city of Handan is in dilapidated condition, with neither troops nor city defenses. Except for Wuyi and Wu'an, the public security in the surrounding counties has deteriorated. After arriving in Handan, it is very likely that we will fall into a quagmire and be thankless.
Secondly, following the lessons learned from the fourth floor of Kumichi, the eager captains within the First Army had to consider their own wealth and lives. Before the arrival of the additional troops promised by Okamura Neiji, he went to the dilapidated Handan City.
It's like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth.
On the other hand, after receiving the order, Isamu Temple directly expressed his willingness to be loyal to General Gangcun and to share the worries of the empire.
After some words of loyalty, Okamura Neiji was deeply moved. He called Wuyi directly and promised that as long as Terauchi Yong stabilizes the situation in Handan, the next commander of the 104th Brigade will be none other than Terauchi Yong, and he will
Apply for a medal from the emperor as a reward.
After hearing this, Temple Yong felt as if he had been given a shot of blood. He dispatched more than 500 Japanese troops from Wuyi and Wuan to Handan City overnight.
This is also the reason why Temple Yong ventilated his message to Zhou Weihan in advance.
HD In the city, the residence of Jin Biao, a puppet army officer.
When Si Nai Yong arrived in Handan, the lucky gold standard immediately hugged his lap, and he even dedicated his residence to Si Nai Yong as his office location.
In the temple, Yong sat on the Taishi chair, and the adjutant and the golden standard stood side by side.
Gold Label respectfully presented a compiled list. Isamu Terauchi glanced at the contents on the list and stood up suddenly, his eyes burning.
"Taijun, this is all President Fang's property in the following counties!"
"Youxi, Huang Sang, please give me a big dose!" The muscles on Si Naiyong's face twitched unnaturally, and then he asked in a rather gentle voice.
For ordinary Japanese officers, if all the Japanese soldiers died in the battle, but Jin Biao survived as a puppet soldier, he would definitely be shot dead.
But when I came to Temple Yong, I took into account that the government was currently short of manpower, and the golden label had paid tribute to a lot of good things.
Good guy, not only is the gold standard okay, but it is also very popular.
After being praised by Terauchi Isamu, Jin Biao was overjoyed and continued: "Taijun, most of this list is farmland. There are more than 3,000 acres of good farmland. If Taijun wants to sell it, he can sell it to other landowners.
Rich old men!"
"Yusi, I'll leave this matter to you. Please deliver it to my residence as soon as possible!" Terauchi Yong narrowed his eyes, as if he was extremely satisfied.
"Yes, Taijun!" The golden mark nodded and bowed, with a flattering smile on his face.
The mentioned President Fang was the president of the Handan Maintenance Association. He was picked out by soldiers of the independent detachment and killed immediately.
After his death, he still had rich property in the lower counties of southern Hebei Province. However, he was targeted by the Golden Label and dedicated to Temple Yong.
Temple Yong sat on the Taishi chair again, carefully folded the paper and stuffed it into his pocket. Then he straightened his face and continued: "Now Handan City is in ruins. The buildings in the city and most of the city walls have been blown up. They are in urgent need of repair. So,
Once it comes, it will require a lot of manpower and material resources. What suggestions do you have?"
After hearing this, Terauchi Isamu's adjutant was a little puzzled. When building fortifications such as city walls, the imperial army always used local materials and captured local Chinese people to serve as laborers. He didn't understand why Terauchi Isamu said such things.
Jinbiao is actually very wise. He understood the meaning behind Temple Yong's words and couldn't help but curse in his heart. The little devil is greedy.
"Taijun, I have an idea. There are all kinds of businessmen and landlords in Handan. Some open brick factories, some open cement factories, and some are extremely wealthy!"
"I think we can let them donate money if they have money, and materials if they have materials, and they can treat it as a contribution to the ***** circle. I think they are very willing!" Huang Jinbiao said.
Temple Yong was overjoyed after hearing this. He didn't expect that there was someone who was so in line with his wishes.
"Huang Sang, I'll leave this matter to you. I will allocate a small group of soldiers for you to command!" Terauchi Yong said immediately.
"Your Excellency Dazuo, with all due respect, the top priority is to repair the railway. As long as the transportation line is connected, there will be a steady flow of materials and personnel transported to Handan!" said the adjutant on the side.
"However, the spare railway tracks in the city were looted by the Eighth Route Army and need to be transported from Shimen and Zheng County. However, the railway transportation lines everywhere have been damaged. I am afraid it will not be possible to repair the railways in a short time!" Isamu Terauchi thought of this serious matter and couldn't help but sigh.
Get angry.
Immediately, an idea flashed in my mind. There was no need to wait for Shangfeng to send people to transport the rails. The current rails were not near Handan.
"You guys can have the afternoon, I will report this matter to Shangfeng!" Isamu Terauchi waved his hand and said.
After the two of them left, Terauchi took a few steps inside the house and took out a list from his pocket, mentally considering whether to apply for some funds from the Division Headquarters to cover the cost of repairing Handan City.
