The first real camouflage uniform appeared in Italy in 1929. It attracted the attention of some professionals as soon as it appeared. In the past few years, relevant German military industry departments have been working on developing this kind of clothing. Ono said Having studied in a German military academy for many years, he was lucky enough to know this. When he saw the blurry figure and the colorful clothes in the photo, his first reaction was that there must be some connection between the military cadets and the German government.
"Commander, do you still remember the German military magazine I gave you last time? This clothing was introduced in that magazine. It is called camouflage uniform, also called sniper uniform. This clothing is here; The history should be related to the Germans, but..." He paused, collected his thoughts and said: "Germany is only in the process of developing it, but the Chinese have equipped it..." He turned to look at Tojo Hideki and asked. "Commander, I would like to go to Renqiu Xuebingjun's station to have a look in person and ask for your approval." After saying that, he lowered his head and made a sign of respect.
"Xinxi, this is a good idea, but since you don't speak Chinese, there will be a lot of inconvenience in your movements. Otherwise, I will find someone who can speak Chinese to accompany you when you get to the station."
"Thank you, Commander."
Ouyang Yun never expected that the reason why the "July 7th Incident" broke out in advance was actually because of a Japs named Onogawa Er. After Onogawa Er went around Renqiu, although he failed to detect any actual military information, he learned from Renqiu From the smiling faces of the common people, from the prosperous market in Renqiu, from the upright bodies of the Xuebingjun officers and soldiers, he felt a change and a kind of power that had happened to the Chinese people, so he made a quick judgment, I feel that North China can't delay it any longer, and the Xuebing Army can't be allowed to develop any longer. Otherwise, once it gets bigger, it will be difficult to solve it.
After Tojo Hideki arrived in Shenyang, he reviewed the files and discovered a shocking point from the two battles of Wen'an and the "Great Victory of Tianjin", that is, the aircraft, tanks and artillery that Japan has always been proud of were in these three In this battle, it failed to play its due role. So, after listening to Ono's report, he strongly agreed with his initiative to solve North China quickly, at least to solve the Xuebing Army, and then communicated with Nanjiro and other high-level officials of the Kwantung Army After receiving their opinions, the strategy for the "Wanping Incident" was decided.
Still focusing on the vicinity of Wanping Marco Polo Bridge, after the first round of attack was frustrated, Hirano Chihide did not dare to continue the attack because he lost the cover of the artillery, and sent a panic call to Tianjin for help.
In the Huabeitun garrison headquarters in Tianjin, Tojo Hideki, who was personally in charge, did not show any dissatisfaction after receiving the telegram from Hirano Ikehide. Instead, he gently put the telegram down, closed his eyes and thought for a while. , then opened his eyes and asked Onogawaji, Seiji Kozuki, Takashi Sakai, and Shozo Kawabe who were standing behind him: "What should we do now?"
Xiangyue Qingji and Sakai Takashi looked at each other without speaking. Ono said: "We expected such a result. The Xuebing Army does have powerful artillery. In this case, we can only dispatch large batches of artillery." Of course, in order to suppress the enemy's anti-aircraft firepower, the infantry attack cannot stop. Your Excellency, Commander, judging from the message sent back by Mr. Hirano, the firing rate of the artillery of the Xuebing Army has been measured long ago. Therefore, Next, our artillery force cannot be dispatched for the time being." He bent down and bowed, and said: "Please let me go to the front line to lead the team in person. I promise to capture Wanping City within 24 hours. Commander, I hope to return the favor. Being able to gain command of the aviation force..."
As soon as Ono finished speaking, Kawabe Shozo couldn't help it anymore. He scolded: "Commander Ono, don't forget who you are. Do you have the right to command the aviation force?"
A sharp light flashed in Ono's eyes when he heard this, but he did not raise his head, so others had no way of knowing his mood at the moment.
Tojo Hideki was not affected by the words by the river. He looked at Ono with admiration and said: "I heard that the Germans are developing a brand new tactic called air-land, sea-land-air coordination. Ono-kun, what are you doing this time?" Do you want to give the Chinese people a land and air coordination? But I want to remind you that two completely different arms are fighting together. Coordination is very important. If it is not done well, there may even be accidental injuries. Can you avoid this? What's the situation?"
Ono raised his head, glanced at Tojo gratefully, then bowed his head respectfully, and said sonorously: "As long as the Commander can hand over the command of the aviation force to me, I will have a way to achieve coordination between the land and air forces." , when the time comes, without cannons, I will still be able to tear apart the bunkers outside Wanping City and destroy their artillery units. Once these two combat conditions are achieved, Wanping City can be conquered soon."
Tojo Hideki smiled, nodded and said: "You are right. As long as the air force can respond effectively, the Chinese bunker artillery poses no threat at all. Then, I will wait for you to bring me good news from the front line." That's it." After saying that, the old devil actually bowed to Xiaoye.
Ono was flattered. He jumped up and shouted loudly: "Thank you for your trust, Commander. I will fulfill my mission."
Kagatsuki Seiji, Sakai Takashi and Kawabe Shozo watched the two of them perform. Except for Kawabe Shozo who acted a little indignant, the other two looked like Furui Fubo,
After Tojo Hideki pretended to be with Ono, he turned around and bowed to Xiangyue and the other three, saying: "Everyone, for the sake of His Majesty the Emperor's great cause, please support Ono-kun's work. I think, As long as we are united, the Xuebing Army will never be our opponent."
Since Tojo had shown such a high profile, regardless of whether it was true or not, Xiangyue and the other three had no choice but to give him face. Therefore, after a few old devils bowed to each other, it was determined that Onogawa Er would have full command of Wanpei's battle.
Ono rushed to the Wanping front line by car that night. After taking over the command from Colonel Mutaguchi Renya of the First Infantry Company of the garrison there, he did not rush to attack, but withdrew all the front-line troops to Dawa. Yao, lifted the siege of Wanping City. His unauthorized change of the original battle plan was naturally opposed by Mutaguchi Lianye and others. However, Ono went his own way, and was later forced to have no choice. He only asked Mutaguchi Renya and others asked a question: Do you think Xuebingjun will give up on Wanping?
Mutaguchi Lian and others were speechless when they heard this. Wanping is the gateway to Beiping. If Wanping is lost, Beiping will directly face the threat of military fire. Although Beiping is not the defense line of the student army, considering its Considering the political and other factors behind it, they would never dare to do this.
