After Okamura Neiji heard the telegram from Terauchi Isamu, he couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Yousei, Terauchi-kun is indeed a brave general of the empire. He is not only good at managing defense areas, but also has the ability to command operations. This is rare among the generals of the empire.
!”
The Chief of Staff Tanabe Moritake on the side nodded, and then said: "Your Excellency, General, you can ensure the stability of Tainan with Lord Terauchi. Now that the Handan-Chang Highway has been opened, after Iwamatsu-kun takes office as the commander of the First Army, the First Army will
The strength has recovered well. Can the First Army dispatch some troops to form an oppressive force against the National Army and the Eighth Route Army in the Changzhi area?"
Faced with Tanabe Moritake's proposal, Okamura Neiji bluntly rejected it and gave a clear reason: "Tanabe-kun, you should know that the base camp has lost trust in our department, and now we should seek stability.
You should be dazzled by the partial victory in front of you!"
"Besides, once the war begins, if the battle cannot be resolved quickly, the entire North China Expeditionary Force will be trapped in the quagmire of war. By then, it will be unable to advance or retreat, and the base camp will no longer be able to provide our troops with more combat supplies!"
There are also factions within the North China Expeditionary Force. Okamura Neiji is a soft-hearted faction, and correspondingly, Chief of Staff Tanabe Moritake is a radical faction.
The previous dispatch of the Kwantung Army to the Changzhi area was also advised by Moritake Tanabe, but the chief of staff was only an auxiliary officer, and all matters concerning the North China Expedition Army had to obey the commander Okamura Neiji.
"Hey, the general taught you a lesson!"
Okamura Neiji turned his eyes slightly, returned his gaze to the telegram on the table, and said without raising his head: "Tanabe-kun, do you know where the general in the temple is?"
"General Terauchi should have already left for Indochina!"
"Well, I will forward this telegram to General Terauchi in my personal name, and at the same time draft a telegram to the headquarters immediately. The North China Expeditionary Army plans to rebuild the 41st Division, and put Isamu Terauchi on the division commander's recommendation list.
!”
"Hey, I'll do it right away!"
It wasn't until the sound of closing the door that Okamura Neji raised his head and stared at the door.
After Yoshio Shinozuka committed suicide, the Japanese base camp sent Yoshio Iwamatsu to take over the position of commander of the First Army. Yoshio Iwamatsu was a radical within the Japanese army. Not long after he took office, he was eager to wash away the shame of the First Army. He repeatedly
He proposed to use the strength of the First Army to attack southern Shanxi, but was rejected by Okamura Neji because the strength of the First Army had not yet been restored.
The bringing up of Tanabe Moritake's old story this time was just an attempt to ask for help from Iwamatsu Yoshio, and Okamura Neiji certainly knew that.
The words are divided into two parts.
After the war, Zhou Weihan ordered all the troops participating in the battle to report the ammunition they had consumed. The Eighth Route Army acted in a show with Isamu Terauchi at the cost of giving up the territory of the troops. Naturally, it was not in vain.
Before the war, Isamu Terauchi promised to replenish all the ammunition consumed by the Eighth Route Army and pay a separate military expenditure.
"60,000 rounds of 6.5mm bullets, 60,000 rounds of 7.9mm bullets, 20,000 rounds of 7.7mm bullets, 10,000 grenades, 3,000 grenades, and 1,000 Type 92 infantry artillery shells. This is all the ammunition for the participating troops in the first division.
Consumption situation!" Xing Zhiguohui reported.
Zhou Weihan chuckled after hearing this. He just reported the reported ammunition consumption in units of tens of thousands. He then said, "Who reported this? He's quite good at doing business!"
"Who else could it be besides Ding Wei?" Xing Zhiguo handed the telegram to a staff officer for him to file.
"Five times the bullets, forget about the others. Isamu Terauchi is not the one who was taken advantage of. We have dispatched four regiments plus local armed forces in this battle. This military expenditure is not excessive, right?" Zhou Weihan said with a smile.
After hearing this, Xing Zhiguo almost couldn't hold back his laughter: "It's not too much, not too much. If you ask, Isamu Terauchi will naturally give you face!"
The opening of the Handan-Changchun Highway was of far-reaching significance to the Japanese army, and for Terauchi Isamu, it meant that more could be gained.
After Isamu Terauchi received the telegram, his expression was extremely exciting: "Nani, so many?"
The military expenditure proposed by Zhou Weihan is almost twice the amount of ammunition supplies traded every month. For this reason, the ammunition supplies of the Japanese and puppet troops in Tainan are being reduced. This does not include the consumption of the Japanese army itself in this battle. How could Isamu Terauchi not
Feeling distressed.
After baring his teeth for a long time, and seeing that the adjutant was still waiting for a reply, Terauchi Yong endured the pain and said: "Follow the requirements above!"
The next day, this batch of ammunition was delivered to Licheng, and was then sent by Tainan Division 1 to receive it.
"Damn, this deal is really worth it. You can get so much ammunition and supplies just by running errands. Who says pie won't fall from the sky? I said Li's capable Fifth Regiment has never been seen fighting with little Japs on weekdays.
, but whenever they participate in the war, the Fifth Regiment reveals its wealth and becomes extremely wealthy, so that’s what happened!” Ding Wei said with a smile.
"Old Ding, we can't say whether we can do this or not, but from now on we can still deal with the Japanese army in Handan. Can you think about it?" the political commissar suggested to Ying.
"Don't worry, I wouldn't be able to sleep at night if I didn't take advantage of this. Although the development of our subdivision has been restricted, we don't have to live in southwestern Shandong with Li Yunlong!" Ding Wei said.
After hearing this, Xiang Ying said: "Do you still remember that some time ago, Lao Li mentioned in a telegram that he had a whole cavalry regiment in southwestern Shandong and a full set of cavalry equipment? I don't know whether it is true or not!"
"If he says that he has defeated a whole cavalry company, I believe him. The cavalry regiment is just bragging. Even those who are defeated are useless. It is a good thing that they are not chased away by the little devil's cavalry!" Ding Wei sneered at Li Yunlong's half-truths and half-false words.
.
At the same time, Li Yunlong, who was far away in southwest Shandong, was scolding his mother.
The Southwestern Shandong Military Division did form a cavalry unit, known externally as the Cavalry Regiment.
It's just that the cavalry regiment of the Southwest Shandong Military Region is empty. Except for the horses left in the military division offices and used by regimental and battalion correspondents, the cavalry regiment only has 542 horses.
There are war horses, but the corresponding equipment is not complete. The sabers are broadswords, and the firearms are 38-meter-high caps.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The equipment is easy to solve, and by gathering the strength of the entire Southwest Shandong Military Division, Li Yunlong managed to get it together, but the staffing of the cavalry regiment was not in place.
"Why did you, Sun Desheng, promise me that as long as I get the horses and equipment together, I don't need to worry about the rest? Why is it still a mess now!" Li Yunlong scolded his mother.
Sun Desheng was originally the commander of the second battalion of the New Regiment, and now he is the commander of the cavalry regiment.
I saw Sun Desheng saying aggrievedly: "Captain, cavalry is no better than infantry. You can't just make up the number of people with unqualified personnel. Besides, our regiment has few people who can ride horses, and there are not many who can serve as equestrian instructors inside and outside."
Personally, you have to give me some time!"
"I can give you time. Can the little devil from the 4th Cavalry Brigade give you time?"
Seeing Li Yunlong getting angry, Luo Benzhong on the side quickly advised him: "Old Li, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. At worst, you can avoid the sharp edge of the Japanese cavalry during this period, and wait until our cavalry regiment is trained!"
Li Yunlong plopped down on the kang, feeling sulky. After taking over the Japanese horse farm, the Fourth Cavalry Brigade began a retaliatory action against the Southwest Shandong Military Division.
Going to the countryside to raid the countryside was used as bait to attract the Eighth Route Army troops to dispatch. With the mobility of the cavalry, the Southwestern Shandong Military Division suffered a lot. How could Li Yunlong swallow this sigh of relief.
Li Yunlong didn't speak, and Sun Desheng could only remain silent. Seeing this, Luo Benzhong continued to persuade: "If you want the cavalry regiment to quickly form combat effectiveness, there is no shortcut!"
"I remember that when the military region established the cavalry regiment, it was the Jinan Military Region that supported a cavalry company. You said, if we open our mouths to the Communist Party members, the Communist Party members will definitely not refuse!"
[By the way, the best app for reading and listening to books is currently Yeguo Reading, install the latest version on yeguoyuedu.]
"What? I said Political Commissar Luo, what are you suggesting? If the military region knows about this, the cavalry regiment of our military region will be ruined. What else is there to do? The cavalry can just be changed back to infantry!" Li Yunlong
said.
"Okay!" Luo Benzhong glanced at Sun Desheng, who had no choice but to leave or not, and said: "Captain Sun, you go back first and continue the training of the cavalry regiment!"
"Yes!" After hearing this, Sun Desheng saluted and ran away.
"Li Yunlong, Li Yunlong, Sun Desheng was here just now. I was concerned about the prestige of your military commander and didn't want to quarrel with you. Do you think you still have the consciousness that an Eighth Route Army commander should have?"
"Yes, before coming to southwestern Shandong, the Communist Party gave you full authority to command operations, but you just didn't report the big and small battles. You also falsified the seizures after the war. To put it nicely, you were just calculating, but if it didn't, it was a small calculation.
You are deceiving your superiors!" Luo Benzhong said one after another.
"Don't blame me for coming up. Come on, let me ask the military district for instructions. I will report it to the military district right now, my political commissar Luo!"
