Chapter 751: The trial of the Japanese division commander
With the defeat of the Japanese army in North China, despite Okamura Neiji's increased control, the situation continued to ferment within the North China Expeditionary Force.
The final impact was on the Japanese army at Shimen, with the main force being wiped out. Then the Eighth Route Army took the initiative to return the innocent Japanese children in the Jingxing Mining Area, so that some Japanese recruits who had just joined the army began to question the government's intention to launch this war.
On the second day after the reconnaissance company left Shimen, the Eighth Route Army headquarters.
"Boss, call back from Yanzhou!" Chief of Staff Teng came to the boss excitedly with a telegram. After reading the telegram, the boss suddenly smiled on his face.
After the Eighth Route Army defeated the Japanese army's sweep, the headquarters has been thinking about how to bring this victory to its due effect. The boss means that it cannot be limited to reducing the number of Japanese troops, but also to attack the momentum of the Japanese army.
In this way, we can inspire the determination of the whole nation to resist the Japanese aggressors and inspire the determination of anti-Japanese people all over the world.
Therefore, the Eighth Route Army headquarters reported to Yanzhou that it was determined to hold a trial against the commander of the 110th Division, Mamoru Iinuma, in the Taihang Base Area.
Finally, with the approval of the Central Military Commission, the Eighth Route Army Headquarters sent a clear message to the whole country, inviting representatives from various countries in China as well as representatives from all Chinese parties, groups and all strata to go to the Taihang base area to participate in the speech of the commander of the Japanese 110th Division Mamoru Iinuma.
Judgment meeting.
"Okay, since the superiors have agreed, we will implement it immediately. All the personnel to be notified will be notified. Americans and British will be notified. This is also an excellent opportunity to promote our Eighth Route Army to the outside world. We can't just coax it.
Get it over there!" the boss said.
"However, I'm worried that the Nationalist Government will have objections. I'm afraid that according to Jiang's wishes, Iinuma Mamoru needs to be sent to the mountain city for a public trial. Moreover, the Nationalist Government has always been concerned about our military's many contacts with the United States and Britain.
, I have a deep understanding, how can he let our Eighth Route Army do what we want this time?" Chief of Staff Teng said worriedly.
"Now is no better than before. If he has the ability to capture a Japanese division commander alive, what's the point of always picking peaches with us? Just follow the instructions of the superiors, and it must be grand!" The boss has obviously made up his mind.
As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused an uproar in China. Regardless of the reaction of the Nationalist Government, the Japanese army quickly learned through the intelligence network that Iinuma Mamoru had been captured by the Eighth Route Army.
For the Japanese army, both senior officers and lower-level soldiers regarded being captured as a great shame and humiliation. However, as the war progressed, many Japanese officers and soldiers were captured, but Japanese division commanders like Iinuma Mamoru
This was the first time he was captured alive.
Immediately, the headquarters and base camp of the Japanese China Expeditionary Force learned of the matter one after another and ordered Neji Okamura to properly resolve the matter.
North China Expeditionary Force Headquarters.
Gangmura Neji was obviously not surprised to receive the telegram from the dispatched army headquarters and base camp. When he learned that Iinuma Mamoru was captured by the Eighth Route Army, he had already anticipated the consequences. Gangmura Neji had even done so
He is ready to be dismissed from his position as commander of the North China Expeditionary Force.
"Your Excellency General, it may not be easy to rescue Iinuma-kun from the hands of the Eighth Route Army. Not to mention that the location of the Eighth Route Army headquarters is difficult to find. Even if the specific location of the Eighth Route Army headquarters is clarified, given the current situation of our army, it is very difficult to find it.
The difficulty lies in launching an offensive against the Eighth Route Army!" Chief of Staff Masi Takedo Tanabe returned from Jinmen not long ago.
"I don't know how difficult it is. Iinuma-kun really gave us a big problem!" Okamura Neji's face was as dark as water, and even Tanabe Moritake could not understand his mood.
Immediately, Okamura Neiji changed the topic: "However, there is still a turning point in this matter. The Eighth Route Army invites people from all walks of life in China to go to the Taihang Mountain base area. By then, the Eighth Route Army senior officials and Iinuma Mamoru will definitely show up!"
"Among the Chinese people, there are many who serve the Japanese Empire. Perhaps they can be used to determine the specific location of the Eighth Route Army headquarters. At that time, we can apply to the dispatched army headquarters for a flight team from Hongkou Airport to carry out bombing missions!"
"Hey, General, you have a quick mind, and you are humbled by your humble position. If this matter can be accomplished, it will be a great achievement!" Tanabe Moritake first complimented him, and then said: "However, I think this task should be
Our North China Dispatch Army will do it in person. After all, General, you need to clear yourself of the culpability. This is a rare opportunity and a good opportunity to revive the morale of our troops!"
"But Hongkou Airport has the only organic flying team of the Imperial Army. The aircraft of our North China Expedition Army may not be able to complete this bombing mission!" Okamura Neiji said with some hesitation.
"General, our front army's reconnaissance aircraft at the airports in Yuncheng, Taiyuan, Xinxiang and Jinan can be concentrated in Peiping to form a flight team with at least 20 aircraft, enough to carry out bombing missions. If the Eighth Route Army's aircraft are dispatched, we will
I believe that the Royal Army Flying Team can inflict heavy damage on the Eighth Route Army Flying Team, and this is also an excellent opportunity to solve the Eighth Route Army’s air threat!”
"Furthermore, I heard that the Twelfth Army once imitated the Yamamoto Special Forces of the First Army and secretly formed a special force. Its combat effectiveness was no less than that of the Yamamoto Special Forces. It carried out beheading operations many times in the Eighth Route Army and the National Army's defense zones, destroying the enemy.
The command organization can make this special force team work together in this battle!"
Hearing Tanabe Moritake's suggestion, Okamura Neji's gloomy face showed a smile: "Hey, Tanabe-kun, you are my think tank. I really shouldn't have let you sit in Jinmen in the first place. If you were here,
Our army may not fail in the sweep!"
"Hi, I am humbled by my position and would like to relieve the general's worries!" Tanabe Moritake stood up and said.
Taiyuan's First Army and Jinan's Twelfth Army both belonged to the North China Expeditionary Force's combat order, but the two old Japanese soldiers Shinozuka Yoshio and Iida Sadugu were bitter enemies when they were in mainland China.
Not long after Shinozuka Yoshio ordered Yamamoto Kazuki to form a special force, Iida Sadagu, another Japanese officer who had returned from a German military academy, formed a special force just to compete with Shinozuka Yoshio.
Unfortunately, not long after the Yamamoto special agent team debuted, they met Zhou Weihan, and in the end, Yamamoto and Kazuki all died in the hands of the Eighth Route Army.
On the other hand, the special forces of the Twelfth Army showed great success. They attacked the Eighth Route Army and the National Army troops in Luzhong, Lunan, Jiaodong and other places many times. The leaders of our army were furious, but they could not find any trace of the special forces.
As the Eighth Route Army Headquarters sent out a clear message and sent electricity to the whole country, various democratic parties and all social strata responded actively and responded to the call, wanting to go to the Taihang base area to participate in the trial of Iinuma Mamoru.
