The Anti-Japanese War in North China has developed to this point, and it is no longer possible for Okamura Neji to turn the tide on his own.
On June 12, Liu Yimin held another press conference in Peking and met with Major General Bao Ruide, the leader of the US military liaison team. The First Dongye Corps captured Baoding, the Third Corps captured Tianjin, the Second Corps attacked Jizhong, and the Fourth Corps divided the number of troops.
Road, besieging Chengde and Zhangjiakou, setting off huge waves in North China. Neji Okamura in Shimen was in trouble!
As soon as our bomber formation paralyzed the Dezhou Railway Station, Okamura Neiji felt like a mirror. Liu Yimin really saw through his own deployment at a glance and wanted to blow it up, just as he said in his "Letter to Urge Okamura Neiji to Surrender".
Destroy the Dezhou Railway Station and cut off his escape route to Shandong.
Okamura Neiji originally wanted to concentrate his forces, rely on Pinghan Road, Deshi Road, and Jinpu Road to fight a good battle, dampen Liu Yimin's energy, and then quietly retreat to Shandong. Now it seems that this idea
It's ridiculously childish. If you really want to do that, Liu Yi will hit the target.
The people's intentions are that when the time comes, not only Liu Yimin's main force will pounce on him, but also Liu Bocheng and Xu Xiangqian of Shanxi Province will pounce on him. Those Tubal militiamen will also pounce on them with guns and homemade grenades. No need to fight, just besiege them. Hungry
It also starved the troops.
Liu Yimin always fights quickly and decisively. In fact, it is normal for large corps to fight, make detours, and besieged for a long time. It is normal for a big battle to last ten and a half days, or even several months. Okamura Nejifuka
Knowing this, knowing that if we are surrounded by our army, we will not be able to supply food and ammunition, and there will be no strong reinforcements, there will be only a dead end.
What Neiji Okamura needs most now is time. It takes time for Shanxi's First Army to assemble. It takes time to retreat. If the delay is long, Liu Yimin will wave his army to press forward. Needless to say, the outcome will be that Okamura Neiji is touching his toes.
I can think clearly with my head.
An extremely anxious Okamura Neiji stayed at the headquarters of the Shimen garrison. He kept sending reports to the First Army and the Mongolian Army, urging them to speed up their actions. At the same time, he strictly ordered the Tianjin garrison and the Baoding garrison to hold on and delay the march to Dongye.
.As a result, Okamura Neiji tried his best, but Tianjin was still captured. Baoding was captured, and the contact with the troops stationed in Mongolia became increasingly difficult. The battlefield situation developed irreversibly in a direction that was not conducive to the Japanese army.
Okamura Neiji became anxious and issued a fatal order to the commander of the First Army, Lieutenant General Shinozuka Yoshio, that the main force must be withdrawn to the area east of Yangquan before dawn on June 12.
Okamura Neiji's telegram to Lieutenant General Shinozuka Yoshio said very sincerely: "The Imperial Japanese Army has completely lost air supremacy over North China. The only hope lies in the reinforcement of the combined navy fleet to intercept and attack Liu Yimin's Sino-U.S. forces with carrier-based aircraft.
Air Force. However, Liu Yimin publicly disclosed at a press conference today that the Imperial Navy has
A disastrous defeat on the way to the island, with the loss of four main aircraft carriers and more than 200 carrier-based aircraft. Those guys in the navy who wasted the empire's money and food sent the precious fleet into the Pacific. It is extremely regrettable that the news of the navy's defeat did not come through the base camp.
We were informed by the propaganda of our enemies. I believe that God
His Majesty the Emperor and Prime Minister Tojo, like me, had to learn the truth about the Battle of Midway from Liu Yimin. Because of the tragic defeat at Midway, the front army had no hope of naval reinforcements and could only rely on its own strength to fight independently. However, since Luan
After the defeat of the Battle of the River, the front's most powerful mobile force disappeared
, had to withdraw from the Pingjin area and shrink to Shandong. The current battlefield situation is completely reversed. Liu Yimin's department received the Kwantung Army's arms, vehicles, fuel, and food supplies in Manchuria. The attack speed and fierce firepower have greatly exceeded
Our understanding. Imperial soldiers are good at shooting and assassination. Liu
What Yimin used were aerial bombs from US heavy bombers and powerful artillery groups and tank groups. Under such three-dimensional firepower, the exquisite shooting and assassination skills of the imperial soldiers were useless. This is what Liu Yimin was able to do in Luanhe
The fundamental reason for annihilating the heavily armed group led by Lieutenant General Sang Mu Chongming was also Liu Yimin's
The fundamental reason why the troops defeated the three famous cities of Peking, Tianjin and Baoding in one day. Now the front army is in an extremely dangerous situation. If there is a slight delay, Liu Yimin's troops may cut off the Deshi Road and destroy the First Army and the Twelfth Army.
Contact was cut off and each one was defeated. Therefore, the First Army had no choice but to overcome all difficulties and quickly evacuate Shanxi.
, only by moving to Shandong can we achieve the goal of the base camp and the front army to stick to Shandong. At the same time, this is also the fundamental measure for the First Army to save itself. Now, Liu Yimin's troops have broken through Tianjin and Baoding, and are swarming southward. The 35th Pinghan Road
The divisions and Jinpu Road troops are fighting hard, blocking attacks every minute and every second.
The purpose of bleeding blood is to support the eastward withdrawal of the First Army. Therefore, I order you to speed up the withdrawal. The main force must be withdrawn to the area east of Yangquan tonight, and continue to advance eastward to join the front army headquarters. If the fighter plane is delayed, the third army will be withdrawn.
The main force of the army is broken into pieces. You should be responsible to His Majesty the Emperor and perform a caesarean section to apologize!"
Okamura Neiji is usually sanctimonious, confident, and a gentleman. These are all disguised when he is complacent. But when it comes to life, he is also a murderous guy, and he is a man of all kinds.
A guy who dared to use a knife on his subordinates. The commander of the First Army, Yoshio Shinozuka, was also a famous general in the Japanese army, and Neji Okamura still said harsh words to him. There was no way, if a disaster came, Neji Okamura would also reveal his true colors.
of.
In fact, during the day today, our bomber formation's bombardment of the Japanese army was concentrated on the Pinghan Line, Jinpu Line and Deshi Line. There was no large-scale bombing of Tongpu Road and Zhengtai Road. The contraction of the First Army was relatively smooth. However, the First Army's contraction was relatively smooth.
All units of the First Army are in a fierce battle with the Eighth Route Army. It is difficult to quickly concentrate on the railway line. That will take time! This is the Zhengtai Road and Tongpu Road from last night to today, through Zhengtai Road to Shimen.
The train has not stopped, and the First Army is desperately trying to transport supplies. Its vanguard has arrived at Niangziguan and is taking control of Jingxing. The main force is gathering eastward one after another, on the Tongpu line, on the road from southern Shanxi, from northern Shanxi to Taiyuan, and on the Zhengtai line.
On the roads from Taiyuan to Yangquan and to Shimen, the highways in the areas occupied by the Japanese and puppet troops, and the main roads, there are convoys and marches of the Japanese and puppet troops everywhere. The little devils and ants in Shanxi are moving, and they are shrinking in an all-round way.
Okamura Neiji was too impatient. He didn't even think about it. The First Army retreated as soon as they asked. How could it be so easy? Behind them were the pursuing Eighth Route Army, local armed forces, guerrillas, and militia. Could they retreat easily?
?
As for Lieutenant General Yamawaki Masataka, the commander of the garrison in Mongolia, Okamura Neiji had to order him to disperse and break out of the encirclement and transfer to Shandong. Because the information Okamura Neiji received was that all the units of the garrison in Mongolia were in a bitter fight and were attacked by China.
The army was divided and surrounded. He no longer had any hope in the troops stationed in Mongolia.
At this time, General Okamura Neiji realized how stupid the Japanese army's troop deployment in North China was. Like the Mongolian army, the backbone was the 26th Division and the independent mixed second brigade. The total strength was more than 30,000 people at its maximum.
, there were only more than 20,000 people at this time. With such a small number of troops, they were stationed at a line of defense so far away from Zhangjiakou to Baotou. It was simply a stiff long snake formation. Normally,
You can also concentrate the 26th Division and form an independent second brigade to carry out mopping up operations and show off your power. Now is the Chinese army's major counterattack. Such a long snake formation is actually a formation that is beaten, and it is easy to be defeated one by one.
, cut off. Because of this, Liu Yimin's troops wanted to fight, He Long's troops wanted to fight, and even Fu Zuoyi's troops came to the door with swords in hand.
Okamura Neiji knew that it was only a matter of time before the Mongolian army was completely destroyed, and he probably wouldn't be able to survive the night. Unfortunately, he was too late to rescue the Mongolian army, the Kwantung Army south of Rehe, and the remnants of the puppet Manchukuo army.
At this time, Okamura Neiji had the 35th, 36th, 58th, and 59th divisions directly under the jurisdiction of the former North China Front that could be used to fight on Pinghan Road, Jinpu Road, and Deshi Road.
and the 39th Division transferred from the Twelfth Army of Shandong, as well as the 16th, 17th, and 19th Divisions
The strength of the independent mixed brigade and Shimen garrison is not small, and it is said to be a 100,000-strong army. Although there were losses in the mopping up of Jizhong, the Japanese army made a plan before moving in the mopping up of Jizhong. The army pressed into the territory, and the losses were relatively small and even negligible.
.However, Okamura Neiji made a mistake and failed to concentrate his troops.
When Okamura Neiji ordered all the troops to withdraw from Jizhong, it was to reinforce the battle in eastern Hebei. In order to rely on the railway to transport troops as quickly as possible, he ordered the troops to separate and concentrate on Pinghan Road, Jinpu Road, and Deshi Road. Later, Sangmu
The Chongming Group was quickly annihilated, and Okamura Neiji was determined to escape from Peiping. He ordered all troops to suspend the implementation of the plan to reinforce Jidong, and quickly concentrated on Pinghan Road, Jinpu Road, and Deshi Road to meet the First Army, and the troops stationed in Mongolia assembled and evacuated.
As a result, the 35th Division stationed in Jizhong assembled near Baoding, the 36th Division and the 16th, 17th, and 19th independent mixed brigades withdrew to Cangzhou to assemble.
The 58th, 59th, and 39th divisions gathered towards Tokushi Road, which was equivalent to being divided into three large groups. If the First Army did not quickly withdraw to Shimen, the three large units of Okamura Neji would be
It's another end of being divided and surrounded, with each one defeated.
Now, the troops of the 35th Division that retreated to Baoding have been annihilated. The main force is retreating steadily under the pursuit of our army. It is about to retreat to Dingzhou. Going further south, we can only rely on the Hutuo River to deploy defenses. The situation is critical.
Can Okamura Neji not be anxious?
