Liu Yimin is gone, the Eighth Route Army Special Operations Headquarters is gone, the Shandong Military Region Art Troupe is gone, the villagers of Lanling Town have fortified their walls and cleared the country, and the ancient Lanling Town has become a real empty town.
Nan Zao Yunzi followed the Cangshan County government team to organize the relocation of the villagers, and was busy until one o'clock in the night when he received the order to return to the station.
Back at the station, it was already 6 o'clock in the morning. Nan Zao Yunzi quietly took out the radio and sent a report to Changjiang Tiandi, the Japanese secret service agency in Xuzhou, Northern Jiangsu. The report was that Liu Yimin personally led a team to Lanling to express condolences. Liu Yimin performed last night
The Eighth Route Army who were watching the performance suddenly left the venue. Not long after, there was a brief burst of gunfire outside the town. Then the Eighth Route Army cadres came on stage and announced that Lanling Town would be cleared overnight and that there were spies sneaking into the town. Subsequently, the Eighth Route Army stationed in Lanling,
All the art troupes have withdrawn, and the people in the town have also evacuated. Lanling is now empty. Please cancel the bombing of Lanling.
Edazuo didn't know about the sneak attack on Lanling led by Tachibana Yukiro, but he had already forwarded Nanzo Yunzi's first telegram to the Jinan Secret Service and the North China Front Army's Secret Service, and must have reported it to the Front Army Headquarters and the Tenth Army.
The Second Army Headquarters. Therefore, Jiang Tianyi did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly forwarded Nanzo Yunzi's second telegram to the Jinan Secret Service, Colonel Nagahashi Xiongxiong, and the North China Front's Secret Service Chief, Major General Yoshioka, in an urgent manner.
They immediately reported to the Twelfth Army and the North China Front Army Headquarters to cancel the bombing operation.
At this time, the Japanese aircraft at various airports had been refueled and loaded with ammunition, and were ready for departure. The reconnaissance aircraft had taken off and flew towards Lanling. However, they could not contact Minami Yunko and Major Tachibana Yukiro, so the fleet could not be dispatched.
When he received the telegram from Minami Yunko, Tada Shun had already gotten up and washed up. He was sitting in his office neatly dressed in lieutenant general uniform and coat, waiting quietly for the telegram from Tachibana Yukiro to investigate Lanling Town.
From New Year's Eve to the present, Jun Tada has been living in panic for several days. The carefully planned New Year's gift turned into a New Year's sacrifice. The main force of the 27th Division was wiped out, and the 36th Division, the Second
The 19th Division was severely damaged, followed by the Eighth Route Army's special operations, which made Shun Tada tremble all over.
Tada Shun's biggest confusion now is that he can't figure out where the Eighth Route Army will stab the knife. If he can figure out this problem, he can mobilize a huge fleet of aircraft and use powerful air superiority to defeat any attack by the Eighth Route Army.
Killed at the beginning.
Now it's better, because with the help of Miss Yunko Minami, the spy of the Imperial Japanese Army, we finally seized the opportunity when a senior official of the Eighth Route Army led an art troupe to Lanling Town to express condolences. The most elite of the Imperial Army, Yukiro Tachibana, fought against
The squadron has been dispatched. As long as Major Tachibana Yukiro sends back a telegram that the movement is in place and can instruct the target of the air strike, he can give the Eighth Route Army a left hook and let them know what a surprise attack is, what a bone-breaking pain is, and what a
Nightmare in the middle of the night!
Thinking of Major Tachibana Yukiro, a smile appeared on Tada Shun's face involuntarily. Major Tachibana did a good job. During the last sweep of Lu Zhongnan, he actually touched the headquarters of Liu Yimin's chief of staff and seriously injured Liu Yimin's head.
Chief of Staff Zeng Zhongsheng. What a great job!
Tada Shun had already seen the telegram that Tachibana Konoro had defeated the Eighth Route Army's blocking company during the attack. At that time, Tada Shun also thought of ordering Tachibana Konoro to cancel the operation, but when he thought of the Eighth Route Army art troupe performing in Lanling to express condolences, tomorrow's plane bombing might bring surprise.
Unexpectedly huge results, Jun Tada was unwilling to cancel the operation. Is it a war? If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch the tiger's cubs?
Tada Shun has already made a decision in his heart. When this operation is over, he will immediately promote Tachibana Yukiro to Lieutenant Colonel or even Colonel.
Nan Zao Yunzi's telegram was personally sent by Yoshioka, the head of the Secret Service Department of the North China Front.
After reading the telegram, Jun Tada was so shocked that he couldn't recover for a long time. It turned out that Liu Yimin personally came to Lanling Town and personally led the cultural troupe to express condolences to the Eighth Route Army stationed in Lanling. Needless to say, this Eighth Route Army must have made shocking military exploits.
Liu Yimin was told to rush to express condolences to this unit before the end of the traditional Chinese Spring Festival. Then the identity of this unit was immediately revealed. It must have robbed the deposits of the Tai'an office of Zhengjin Bank and the secret vault of the Xuzhou Military Police Headquarters.
That abominable elite team. Liu Yimin’s hands cramped when counting money, and he ran excitedly to express his condolences.
Liu Yimin is in Lanling, and his elite team is in Lanling. Tachibana Yukiro has hit a rock now. It would be strange if he could still send back a telegram to investigate the situation in Lanling!
As soon as he thought of this, Tada Shun stood up, took off his military hat, and expressed his condolences to the Tachibana Special Operations Squadron. He knew in his heart that since Tachibana Yukiro has not sent back the telegram, everyone must be in pieces.
Tada Shun mourned in unison. Yoshizumi Ryosuke, Hirata Shogun who came over after hearing the news, and Yoshioka who was in the room all took off their hats to express their condolences.
After paying his respects, Tada Shun glanced at everyone and said angrily: "Liu Yimin owes another blood debt. And we, for the time being, do not have the energy to recover the blood debt and avenge the brave warriors of Yushang. I have thought about it repeatedly in the past few days.
Well, there are three main reasons for the passive situation in North China. First, the imperial army is insufficient in strength. Second, the security forces cooperating with the imperial army are small in number and have poor combat effectiveness. Third, the intelligence fails. Like the two pieces of intelligence sent back by Miss Yunzi.
, how precious. It is a pity that Miss Yunzi has only been inside the Eighth Route Army for a short time and does not know enough about the elite troops of the Eighth Route Army. If she can know that the Eighth Route Army stationed in Lanling is the elite team of the Eighth Route Army that robs banks and blows up bridges, we can
It is easy to judge that the one who went to Lanling to express condolences must be Liu Yimin, Luo Ronghuan, and Cai Zhong. He would gather all the fighter planes in North China to bomb before dark yesterday afternoon and kill them all. What a pity.
Because Ms. Yunzi was not familiar with the situation of the Eighth Route Army, we missed a good opportunity and even lost the Imperial Army's most elite special battle squadron of Tachibana Yukiro. This is also because we were stupid and superfluous. We should not have allowed Major Tachibana Yukiro to lead the special battle.
The squadron went to detect the sneak attack, so we just sent planes to bomb it early this morning. Alas, one mistake turned into a big mistake!"
After saying this, Yoshizumi Ryosuke and others sighed with regret.
Tada Shun's intestines were about to turn green. Yoshizumi Ryosuke and others sighed in unison, which made Tada Shun feel regretful and almost vomited blood. However, he is the commander of the North China Front. What's the use of just regretting?
Just come up with ways to deal with it.
Tada Shun pondered for a while and said: "Yoshioka-kun, although Miss Yunzi's first message was not detailed enough, we missed the opportunity to fight. However, this information is accurate and extremely valuable. The flaw is that Miss Yunzi has no knowledge of the Eighth Route Army's internal affairs.
She is not very familiar with it yet. As long as she can lurk within the Eighth Route Army, given time and her talent, she can provide us with more accurate and important information. Now, we must find ways to help her lurk in the Eighth Route Army and obtain
Trust of the Eighth Route Army. I consider that measures must be taken to disrupt the sight of the Eighth Route Army's security department so that they cannot focus their suspicious eyes on Miss Yunzi. The front army immediately canceled the large-scale air raid plan on Lanting Town, but wanted to attack the entire central and southern Shandong area.
Conducting extensive aerial reconnaissance and air raids and bombing key locations, firstly, made the Eighth Route Army think that we did not obtain top-secret intelligence, but a small-scale sneak attack directed by Major Tachibana; secondly, we had to use high-density reconnaissance
The bombing disrupted the rhythm of the Eighth Route Army's rest and replenishment. The radio station was to immediately broadcast the news that Tachibana's special operations squadron had completely wiped out the Eighth Route Army's blocking company, and that Major Tachibana was taking advantage of the victory to attack the hinterland of Yimeng, looking for important targets of the Eighth Route Army. Yoshioka
Jun, you go down to study the rest and engage in espionage warfare with the Eighth Route Army. The only purpose is to protect Miss Yunzi."
Yoshioka put his feet together, shouted Hai, saluted and left.
After Yoshioka left, Tada Shun had a gloomy face and remained silent for a long time.
Tada Shun didn't speak, Yoshizumi Ryosuke and Hirata Shouhin didn't speak either, and the room immediately fell silent.
Tada Shun thought for a while and said to Yoshizumi Ryosuke and Hirata Shogun: "Yoshizumi-kun, Hirata-kun, the most urgent thing right now is to improve the defense line. There are 29 divisions in the east section of Longhai Road, and the ** are mixed into the 22nd brigade.
, the 114th Division has sufficient strength. Between Tai'an and Xuzhou there are the 9th Division, the 12th Division, and the ** mixed into the 16th Brigade, and the strength is also sufficient. The problem lies on the Jiaoji Line, the 3rd Division
The 32nd Division, the 36th Division, and the 17th and 18th Brigades were mixed together, but the defense line was too long. The 36th Division was newly defeated. The replenishment has not been completed. We must first
Strengthen the troops. My opinion is to transfer troops from the 37th Division on Deshi Road to strengthen the defense line on Jiaoji Road. What do you two think?"
Yoshizumi Ryosuke thought about it and suggested: "Your Excellency, Commander, you cannot transfer troops from one unit alone, as that would weaken the unit too much. I suggest that you mobilize troops from Pinghan Road, Jizhong, Deshi Road, the 110th Division, etc.
Each of the troops will assign a brigade and gather four to six infantry brigade to strengthen the 36th Division."
Tada Shun nodded, agreeing, and then said: "Yoshizumi-kun, Hirata-kun, there is another question. I have thought about it repeatedly. The most fundamental reason why the situation in Shandong is worse than in Shanxi is the lack of power to contain the Eighth Route Army.
, the Imperial Army had to confront the Eighth Route Army directly. If the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi wanted to attack the Imperial Army, they had to first consider how to pass through the defense areas of the Central Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army, and whether they could retreat to the Central Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army defense area. They were still afraid of the Central Army.
The Jin-Sui Army and the Jin-Sui Army would stab them in the back at any time. In this way, their combat area would be demarcated and their combat operations would be restricted. Even if the Eighth Route Army wanted to expand its army and recruit troops, it still had to take care of Yan Xishan's emotions.
As long as the Eighth Route Army develops rapidly, they will have friction. There is no regular Kuomintang army in Shandong. The Eighth Route Army and the Imperial Army are competing for it. Liu Yimin will fight wherever he wants. The common people only know that there is the Eighth Route Army but not the Central Army. As a soldier,
Also be the Eighth Route Army. This situation is very dangerous. Shandong has a population of more than 30 million. If this continues, Liu Yimin's troops will expand rapidly. In the end, the total strength is likely to greatly exceed the imperial army's strength in North China and even in the entire China. Think about it,
If there are one or two million Eighth Route Army soldiers in Shandong who carry guns and continuously attack the imperial army, can we still exist in Shandong?"
Yoshizumi Ryosuke and Hirata Shokan were horrified when they heard this, as they saw millions of Eighth Route Army soldiers with rifles rushing toward them in front of their eyes.
Tada Shun paused, thought for a while, and said: "If we want to stop this terrible phenomenon from happening, we must resolutely implement our cage policy and tiger cage plan, surround the Eighth Route Army, and use traffic lines to block and divide it."
They then organized and trained the Imperial Army on a large scale, so that the Imperial Army was in the front and the Imperial Army was behind. They used the Imperial Army to hold the defense line and the Imperial Army was supervising from behind. In other words, the Imperial Army was allowed to take bullets for the Imperial Army. In this case
, the Eighth Route Army attacked suddenly, and the Imperial Army also had ample time to use the railway lines to mobilize troops and launch counterattacks to minimize losses."
Chief Judge Hirata reported that the Imperial Alliance Army's combat effectiveness was too poor and it was a waste of money and food.
Tada Shun glanced at Hirata Shokan and said calmly: "The Imperial Association Army is just a bunch of pigs. They can hum a few times while guarding the defense line, right? It is better to let the Eighth Route Army's artillery shells fall on the pigs' heads than on the noble Yamato warriors.
Is it cost-effective to keep it on your head?”
Masaru Hirata shouted quickly and stopped talking.
Tada Jun continued: "We need to vigorously expand the Imperial Army in Shandong, reaching at least 100,000 to 200,000 people, and fill them into the blockade fortifications. In this way, the Imperial Army divisions will be freed up and can be used
Fight in the main directions. For example, several Imperial Army troops in Jinan, Manchurian advance troops in Xuzhou, Li Wenli's troops in Weixian County, and several troops newly surrendered in Jiaodong will all be sent to the battlefield. There are also Zhang Tianzuo and Zhang Jingyue.
They must surrender and be dragged onto the battlefield to deal with the Eighth Route Army. In other words, our Jiaoji Road, Jinpu Road, and Longhai Road blockades must be densely populated with 100,000 or 200,000 Imperial Army troops, with guns drawn
All are facing the Eighth Route Army, and the Imperial Army is behind with machine guns and artillery supervising the battle. As long as this goal is achieved, it will be impossible for Liu Yimin to concentrate artillery fire on the Imperial Army."
Yoshizumi Ryosuke said worriedly: "Your Excellency, Commander, the situation in Shandong is different from other regions. The Eighth Route Army's results have been too great, and not many people are willing to be members of the Imperial Alliance Army."
This is what Tada Shun is most worried about. If the Eighth Route Army continues to develop, women and children in Shandong will know how to pick up a red tassel gun and stab the soldiers of the Imperial Army who act alone. That is when all the people are soldiers. No matter how many troops the Imperial Army has, they are no match.
You must know that the main reason why the North China Incident expanded again and again was that the military realized that the Chinese people were in disarray and the political power was broken from the core. The army bullied the people like bandits. Some scholars advocated revolution and some were pro-Japanese.
Britain, the United States, and the entire society have no faith and no bellicose spirit. If the Chinese army is fighting desperately as it is now, and the Chinese people are supporting the Anti-Japanese War like Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Shandong, then there is no talk of Japan, Manchuria, and China becoming one? Invite the Imperial Army to the Imperial Army Capital
Don’t come. Because if you come, you will die!
Tada Shun said viciously: "If you don't want to be a member of the Imperial Association Army, you can do it! Don't worry, those leaders of the Imperial Association Army have many ways. As long as they can be promoted, expand the army, and recruit soldiers, they can do anything. Tell them,
If you recruit enough of a regiment to become a regiment commander, if you recruit enough of a brigade to become a brigade commander, if you recruit enough of a division to become a division commander, let me see who is not proactive!"
Shogun Hirata interjected again: "There is an old saying in China that if you raise a recruiting flag, you will find people who can feed you. Shandong is so big and has such a large population, there will definitely be people who work as imperial allies in order to eat, clothe and avoid working hard.
If it doesn't work, we will transfer a group of road construction coolies from Pinghan Road to strengthen the Imperial Army."
Tada Shun was happy this time and said "Yoshi" several times.
Yoshizumi Ryosuke suggested that we should also implement the plan before the heavy raids, divide and disintegrate the troops in the Hebei-Cha theater and the Sulu theater, and force them to surrender. In particular, Yu Xuezhong of the Sulu theater who fled to the border areas of Henan, Anhui and Jiangsu, that
He is a veteran of the Northeast Army and has strong combat effectiveness. He can quickly expand the Imperial Association Army by one brigade by recruiting a regiment, and can expand the Imperial Association Army by a division by recruiting a brigade. There is also Wu Hua, a veteran of the Northwest Army.
Basically, as long as he is forced to surrender, he can expand the Imperial Army by 20,000 to 30,000. These two troops are the ones that Chiang Kai-shek wants to use to consume and disband the war. They have no way out and no future, so they are easier to instigate rebellion. Once they encounter difficulties and cannot survive
, it’s easy to surrender.
What Yoshizumi Ryosuke said made sense, and Shogun Hirata immediately followed up with a suggestion: "Your Excellency, Commander, right now we are reinforcing the defense line and replenishing our troops. The Eighth Route Army is also resting after the war. I suggest that we deploy troops to target Jicha.
In the war zone, the Sulu war zone troops carried out mopping up operations to oppress their living space and force them to surrender. At least they should be driven to southwestern Shandong and western Shandong to compete with the Eighth Route Army for territory."
Tada Shun thought for a while and said: "Our army is newly defeated, and it is not easy to launch large-scale operations for the time being. We should hurry up to replenish troops and supplies, stabilize the defense line, and expand the Imperial Alliance Army. Moreover, in southern Guangxi, the 21st Army is preparing a counterattack.
, the Eleventh Army in Wuhan is also preparing for a major battle operation, and must make every effort to ensure their major battle operations. As for the troops in the Sulu Theater and the Hebei-Cha Theater, there is no need to worry. According to various intelligence reports, there is friction between Chiang Kai-shek and the Communist Party of China.
It won’t end so soon. It’s very likely that they will have to fight one or two more games. We’ll wait and see what happens and work like fishermen.”
At this point, there was a hint of joy in Tada Shun's words, and he said: "Did you know? Wang Jingwei will soon establish a national political power in Nanjing. As soon as Wang Jingwei's political power is established, his theory of peaceful national salvation will make many people
The Chinese accept that when the time comes, some miscellaneous troops will even take the initiative to surrender to the Wang Ji regime and become regular troops that cooperate with the imperial army. It will be much easier to instigate rebellion in the Sulu Theater and the surrender of the troops in the Hebei-Cha Theater."
At this time, both Yoshizumi Ryosuke and Hirata Shogun were happy. Yoshizumi Ryosuke even clapped and cheered. After cheering, Yoshizumi Ryosuke said with joy: "Didn't the Eighth Route Army call the Imperial Association Army a puppet army? Okay, let's give it a try."
He sent puppet troops everywhere and asked them to fight them. I wonder what the Eighth Route Army will do!"
