Doihara was obviously talking about the empty city strategy, but when he saw the rice balls and cans presented by his subordinates, he had no appetite at all. Through the telescope, he saw the wonderful performance of the Akita Regiment. The first line of defense of the training division had been captured, but he There is no joy at all,
All eight "Qi Luo" vehicles have been scrapped, but the casualties of the student division are not as high as expected. These are not fatal. The key is that the student division shows no sign of defeat. It has been invincible in every attack. If the invincible scene does not appear, then the next battle must be won by the Emperor's warriors with their flesh and blood, but God knows whether this battle can be won.
He had seen a lot of Chinese troops. Although he knew that the Xuebing Division was a team that inherited the traditions of the 29th Army, he was still surprised by the fighting spirit and the quality of the soldiers displayed by the Xuebing Division. He even had some doubts. Are the soldiers in the army opposite really Chinese? When did the once weak Chinese soldiers become so powerful?
Kawabe Shozo stood next to him. Out of courtesy, he did not eat alone. Instead, he held a telescope and scanned the position of the cadet division with his telescope. After a while, he said: "The Akita Regiment has begun to eat. Then they will launch a general attack on the Xubing Division."
Doihara frowned slightly, then gritted his teeth and asked a close confidant next to him: "Is there any news from Peiping?"
The confidant shook his head. At this time, a piece of dust was stirred up not far away. A fast horse carrying a person ran quickly towards him. Immediately, a Japanese soldier in charge came to meet him. After a while, the Japanese soldier saluted the knight. Let it go,
The sound of horse hoofbeats gradually approached, and in a moment, Doihara and the others arrived, and several more Japanese soldiers came to greet them. Doihara turned around and looked around, and saw Junko Sakaya sitting immediately. His brows relaxed a little, and he said loudly : "Let her come over."
Izakaya Junko ran over on horseback and called out as he approached: "Commissioner, General by the River." Then he dismounted, handed the reins to a Japanese soldier, and walked over.
Doihara asked her: "Is there any news from Peiping?"
Junko Sakaya looked around and saw Doihara nodded. She said, "Pan Yugui is back from Nanjing." Then she took out a letter from her close-fitting shirt and handed it to him.
Doihara took it, unfolded it, looked at it, with a smile on his face, folded it and put it in his pocket. He said to Kawabe Shozo: "General Kawabe, it seems that I have to help you if I want to break the deadlock in Wen'an."
Zhengsan stood by the river and said seriously: "Acting Commander-in-Chief, please give the order."
"Feng Zhi'an is willing to borrow the road. General, please lead your troops from Tianjin to Bazhou first, and then attack Xiongxian from Bazhou."
"Do you want to go back to Tianjin first? Why don't you drive directly from here?" Hebian Zhengzo said and looked at the mounds and rock defense lines built by the Xuebing division with so much effort.
Doihara shook his head and said: "Ouyang Yun focused his defense on Wen'an. He must not have thought that we could borrow a passage from Feng Zhian. If we set the attack time after dark, we would be able to catch them off guard. They are in Xiong County We only have one regiment, and with this small number of troops, General Hebian should be able to defeat them in one fell swoop."
"I understand, then I will prepare now."
Doihara nodded and warned: "We still need to rely on Feng Zhian and the 29th Army. Please restrain your men and don't let them disturb the people."
Hebian Zhengsan shouted "Hai!" and led his troops to move toward Tianjin with high spirits. In his opinion, this was an opportunity to wash away the previous humiliation.
When Shozo Kawabe was far away, Junko Sakaya approached Doihara and said: "Your Excellency, the agency chief, the conditions offered by Nanjing this time are not low. They require that Ouyang Yun's pharmaceutical factory be moved to Nanjing after the war."
Doihara laughed and said: "They only want the pharmaceutical factory and did not mention the people, so we will do what they want and give them all the equipment and machinery. With the talents who master pharmacology, we are still afraid of the whole company." Why don’t you set up a pharmaceutical factory?”
After hearing this, Junko Sakaya smiled and said, "My subordinates think so too."
Dofeiyuan didn't know what he was thinking of, so he asked with a straight face: "Have you heard any news about Zhao Dengyu's 132nd Division in Peiping?"
"I heard that Feng Zhi'an sent someone to contact Zhao Dengyu, as if he wanted him to support him in becoming the commander of the 29th Army, but Zhao Dengyu did not give a clear answer. Agency chief, Zhao Dengyu's department is now far away in Handan, and there have been no transfers recently. , He just wants to help Ouyang Yun, but he may not be able to do it in time."
"Otherwise, when you came to Tianjin, was there any sign of the 37th Division being mobilized?"
"Yes, two regiments of the 37th Division are moving towards Langfang under the banner of holding military exercises."
Doihara smiled, his face relaxed, and said: "It seems that Feng Zhi'an really hopes to be the commander of the 29th Army. It's good that among the four of Zhang Zizhong, Feng Zhi'an, Liu Ruming, and Zhao Dengyu, the Chinese As the saying goes, Zhang and Zhao are just like the smelly and hard stones in the latrine. Although Feng Zhi'an keeps shouting about resisting Japan, he is much more tactful than those two people after all, Junko."
"Um."
"Send someone to keep an eye on the 132nd Division and Zhao Dengyu. Also, keep an eye on Zhang Weifan and Tong Linge. These two people have always been extremely hostile to our Empire of Japan. Tong Linge and Zhao Dengyu have a life-and-death relationship. We must not let them form a Series."
Izakaya Junko nodded and noted that he had taken note of it.
"You should go back to Peiping now. If there is any situation, please discuss it with Tan Takahashi. When Chief of Staff Sakai comes back, I will ask him to go to Peiping to take charge of the overall situation."
After seeing off Junko Sakaya, Doihara confidently followed the artillery team to Naozō Nakano's command post.
Naozo Nakano had just finished a phone call with Gao Shujia and issued a new combat order. He ordered Gao Shujia on the phone to capture the second line of defense of the Xuebing Division in one go, and then he would use the 132nd Regiment to replace the Akita Regiment. , launched an attack on Wen'an, and decided to capture Wen'an before dark,
"Major General Nakano, thank you for your hard work." Doihara said to Nakano with a smile, and then gave a military salute.
Nakano returned the military salute with a smile and said: "The acting commander-in-chief is here."
"What's the situation now? The Chinese people's first line of defense has been broken through."
Nakano introduced the order he had just issued to Doihara, and then said with confidence: "Your Majesty, please be patient and wait. We must be able to enter Wen'an before dark. At that time, I will ask you on the north gate tower of Wen'an You drink."
"The commander of the Nakano Brigade seems to be very confident. However, it seems that all the 'Kiro's we can rely on have been scrapped. Without the 'Kiro's to attack the enemy, the brigade commander is prepared to sacrifice the lives of His Majesty's most loyal soldiers. In exchange for victory?" Doihara asked unceremoniously,
The captain of the 132nd Regiment, Colonel Akiei Ebi, was standing aside. He had the same mentality as his boss. Ebi also looked down on Doihara, who was a spy. He felt that there was something wrong with Nanjiro's appointment this time. His idea was very simple. Can a person with an intelligence background know how to form troops and attack difficult positions? Hearing Doihara's unceremonious questioning, his face turned red and he was the first to say: "Your Excellency, the Chief of the Agency, the honor of our Imperial Japanese Army belongs to His Majesty the Emperor. The brave warriors paid for it with their blood and lives. Why, do you think that without Quirrell, we can't defeat the Chinese?"
Doihara glanced at Ebi with disdain, then looked at Nakano intently.
Nakano glared at Ebi Lao sternly and shouted: "How can you talk to the agency chief like this? Don't you know that he is the commander-in-chief of this battle and you still don't apologize?"
Ebi quickly bowed his head to admit his mistake and asked Doihara for forgiveness. Nakano took the opportunity to say: "Your Excellency, Chief of Agency, as a pure soldier, it is inevitable to speak a bit directly, please forgive me." He shouted to Ebi: "It's your turn when I talk to the Chief of Agency. Interrupt, why don't you go back to my headquarters?"
"Hai." Hai Lao responded loudly, bowed and retreated.
Nakano glanced at Doihara and saw that he had an unpredictable smile on his face. He felt very uncomfortable and said, "Your Excellency, Chief of Agency, what Captain Ebi just said makes sense to a certain extent. The reputation of our Imperial Army belongs to His Majesty the Emperor. Warriors paid for it with their blood and lives. I heard a rumor a few days ago that Ouyang Yun actually said that we are nothing without planes, tanks, and cannons. I have long wanted to have a good fight with him without relying on these three weapons. Now the squadron cannot go into battle, and the Chilo has been completely lost. I personally feel that this is the time for our army to re-establish its military power. I want to let those arrogant Chinese people know that without airplanes, tanks, and artillery, we The Imperial Japanese Army can still defeat them, and our reputation as the second strongest army in the world is not an exaggeration."
"Really?" Doihara wanted to show off his reputation as a layman this time and said with a smile: "What the brigade commander just said makes sense, but what I want to ask is, are you really sure that before sunset? Can we attack Wen'an? The Chinese soldiers on the opposite side may not be as good as us in terms of tactical literacy and combat experience, but judging from the way they dealt with 'Qi Luo' just now, they are a group of lunatics who are desperate for their lives. Facing such an enemy, the brigade commander is prepared How many lives of the Emperor's warriors must be sacrificed to defeat them."
Doihara was telling the truth. Recalling the scene he saw through the telescope, Nakano's face turned ugly. Then he asked: "According to the commander's wishes, if you are afraid of sacrifice, then Wen An won't fight."
"We will naturally fight Wen'an, but we don't necessarily have to fight Wen'an. You must know that the Renqiu government now controls more than one Wen'an..."
