The Japanese army advanced very quickly. In just three days, the entire central Hebei, south Hebei, border with Shandong, and southwestern Shandong fell.
Because Chen Guang's brigade, the first-class main force of the Eighth Route Army, was present in Jizhong, and Chen Guang was a rare tiger general in our army, he commanded the main force to seize the Japanese troops. The first, seventh and twenty-fourth divisions were transferred to the Hebei and Lu border.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, they eliminated a section of the Manchurian National Defense Force. Under the cover of the 115th Division's response troops, they broke out of the encirclement, broke through the Pinghan Road, and rushed into the Taihang Mountains.
Our army in southern Hebei does not have a strong force like Chen Guangqiu, and it faces the Japanese army's most elite Fifth Division, Sixth Division, Fourteenth Division, and Sixteenth Division. It is simply impossible to fight with the Japanese.
In a head-on collision, we can only disperse and move in the cracks of the Japanese attacks. Fortunately, the tunnels in southern Hebei were dug early and the roads were reconstructed, which could easily cover the Eighth Route Army and slow down the Japanese attacks. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous.
In this way, although our troops in central Hebei and southern Hebei avoided the end of annihilation, they suffered huge losses.
The troops in central Hebei had the advantage of being familiar with the terrain, but the Japanese were surrounded on all sides and were waiting. The Manchurian National Defense Force was a bunch of bastards who were well-trained and showed no mercy in attacking the Chinese. Even though Chen Guang's old Red Army composition was high, the Jizhong Military Region
The army has undergone regular transformation, but the key to breakout operations is bravery and tenacity. You must fight fiercely at critical moments. After fierce battles, the losses of the army are so great that you can imagine it with your eyes closed.
Our military base construction in southern Hebei was early, and the construction of local political power and local armed forces was relatively stable. However, the army had a large number of new recruits. Without a strong main force like Chen Guang Brigade, the Japanese army attacking southern Hebei was another Japanese ace, twice.
Once compared, the gap becomes clear. When the Japanese army arrives, our army can only avoid its sharp edge. As long as it is discovered and bitten by the Japanese, there will be no end. The troops and local armed forces and cadres can only go to the tunnels. And they cannot use them.
The enemy takes the initiative to attack the tunnels, because this is the ace force of the Japs, with advanced equipment, explosives, poison gas, and professional engineering troops. Once the Japs discover the tunnel fortifications, the Japs will often concentrate their efforts to destroy the tunnels.
Caused heavy casualties to military and civilians.
In just three days, Jizhong, southern Hebei, the border with Shandong, and southwestern Shandong became a hell on earth. Japanese planes bombed, artillery fire raged, dirty sun flags were everywhere, the roars of Japanese birds were everywhere, and countless soldiers and civilians
Fall under the devil's butcher's knife.
After the Japanese army group was overthrown, in accordance with the vicious plan of Juichi Terauchi and Naozaburo Gangbe, the Japanese garrison division stationed in central Hebei, southern Hebei, Jiluru border, and southwestern Shandong, established a garrison headquarters, and forced the people to build roads, build strongholds, and pay food and taxes.
They organized traitors, formed maintenance committees at all levels, and forced young adults to join the Imperial Army, Security Corps, and Self-Defense Forces, turning the entire North China Plain into a terror zone. Among them, Lieutenant General Naojiro Amaya, commander of the 40th Division, also served as
The Commander-in-Chief of Jizhong Garrison, with the headquarters stationed in Suning County; the Commander of the 24th Division, Lieutenant General Heiwa Yoshikatsu, also serves as the Commander-in-Chief of the Hebei-Shandong Border Guard, with the headquarters stationed in Qingyun County; the 41st Division, an independent first brigade
Stationed in southern Hebei, Lieutenant General Tendo Shengwu, commander of the 41st Division, concurrently serves as the garrison commander of southern Hebei, and the headquarters is stationed in Julu County. Lieutenant General Fujii Yoji, commander of the 38th Division, concurrently serves as the garrison commander of southwestern Shandong and the headquarters.
Stationed in Heze.
Next, the Japanese army moved non-stop and moved its heavy troops into the hinterland of Shandong.
The southern group commanded by Lieutenant General Tada Shun except for the 114th Division to return to defend Yanzhou and the 38th Division to garrison in southwest Shandong, the 3rd Division, the 9th Division, the 13th Division, and
The 15th Division, the 17th Division, with the cooperation of the 34th Division and the independent mixed 13th Brigade stationed in Tai'an, the troops fought in separate directions towards the western Tai'an area, forcing the Eighth Route Army commanded by Wang Jian'an and Huang Su to
All the Western Taipei Security Brigades were transferred to the tunnels. After the Japanese occupation of the Western Taipei region, they immediately issued an announcement to establish the Western Taipei Regional Security Command. Major General Masanori Morita, commander of the independent 13th Brigade, served as the commander of the Western Taipei Regional Security Command.
Dongping County. The Lunan Garrison Command was established. Lieutenant General Suematsu Shigeharu, the commander of the 114th Division, also served as the Lunan Garrison Commander. The headquarters still lives in Yanzhou.
There are seven divisions in total: the 1st Division, the 5th Division, the 6th Division, the 7th Division, the 14th Division, the 16th Division, and the 23rd Division commanded by Lieutenant General Okabe Naosaburo.
The regiment attacked Luxi, forcing the Second Luxi Guard Brigade commanded by Wang Bingsan, Zhang Linzhi, and Zhang Weihan to hide in the tunnel. The commander of the Japanese 23rd Division, Lieutenant General Komatsubara Michutaro, also served as the commander of the Luxi Guard, and the headquarters was stationed in Liaocheng.
At this point, except for Qingdao and Weihai, which were captured by the Japanese Marine Corps, the Eighth Route Army's anti-Japanese base areas west of Jinpu Road and east of Pinghan Road, including the Jilu border, had all fallen, and the anti-Japanese regime and anti-Japanese armed forces had all gone underground. Since the Anti-Japanese War,
After successive battles and victories, the Eighth Route Army, which had brought unlimited hope to the people across the country, suffered heavy losses for the first time. The Japanese army's heavy-force group encircled and suppressed the Eighth Route Army in the North China Plain and achieved a staged victory.
Stimulated by the victory in the North China Security War, calls for the expansion of war factions in Japan have reached an all-time high. Newspapers and radio stations are once again filled with stories of opening up the Jiaoji Road, occupying all of Shandong, annihilating the Eighth Route Army, capturing Liu Yimin alive, and forming the basis for the Eighth Division.
The 10th Division, the 21st Division, and the 21st Brigade were independently mixed into the 3rd, 4th, 6th, and 10th Brigades for revenge. A group of arrogant Japanese people, under the control of the military
With the support, they collectively petitioned in front of the palace, demanding an increase in military spending, an expansion of the army, the capture of Wuhan, the complete elimination of Chiang Kai-shek's regime, and the occupation of the entire China. The streets of Tokyo were full of people who "bravely participated in the war to win" and "abandoned reputation, status, and money"
"Wait, for the sake of the motherland and the people, treat yourself as an abandoned stone" and other slogans. Every day, there is an endless stream of teams and flags to see off the soldiers on the expedition, and the air is so hot that it can almost bake eggs.
The funniest thing is the newly established Army Nakano School by the Japanese army.
This school was established by the Japanese army in January 1938. It was originally a secret intelligence school. Internally, it was called the "Intelligence Service Training Institute." The students were selected by various army units for interviews, written examinations, and test questions.
Various, such as "If you are taking the elevator now, what feels special?" "Do you like women? If you need to die for the woman you love, what will you do?" "Write on black paper
There are ink characters, how do you identify them?" "Someone poops in the field, how do you identify whether it is a man's or a woman's?" "What do you think of the Communist Party? Japan and
What are the differences in the United States? Please give five examples. Also give five examples of the differences between Christianity and Buddhism." "If necessary, commit suicide by caesarean section here on the spot. Can you do it?" etc.
Wait. As a result, only 20 people were admitted among the 38 people selected in the first batch.
I don’t know who revealed the secret that Nakano School is an intelligence school. It was spread to ten people and hundreds of people, and it turned out that Nakano School is a spy school that specializes in training people who can assassinate or seduce Liu Yimin, the God of War in China. This became very lively, and countless people
Japanese young men and women flocked to Nakano School. For several days in a row, they lined up in front of the school and refused to leave. Especially those girls who thought they were older and somewhat pretty, waving white cloths with menstrual blood stains on them,
They had to ask to see the principal of Nakano School, Lieutenant Colonel Akiko Shun, the school administrator Lieutenant Colonel Fukumoto Kameji and the instructor Major Ito Samata. When Lieutenant Colonel Akiko Shun, who was wearing a black suit, came forward to meet them, the reason why these girls wanted to study in the school made Akiko confused.
Jun Zhongzuo was so jealous that the reasons for enrolling these girls were basically "I am a pure virgin, I am very beautiful, I want to use my beautiful body to capture Liu Yimin, the God of War of China, and bring his head to see the Emperor and Empress Liangzi"
.”
In the end, Lieutenant Colonel Akiko Jun had to ask the police station to dispatch police to disperse these ignorant young people. However, Lieutenant Colonel Akiko Jun still gained something. He selected 20 of these beautiful girls and prepared to train them and send them to the North China Front Army to deal with the Eighth Route Army.
.In addition, he was inspired by the reasons for enrolling these young people, and introduced to His Majesty the Emperor Nishiko Fujita, the 14th generation ninjutsu master of the Koga school who teaches at the school. This Nishiko Fujita has great kung fu and can not only bind his hands and feet, but also lean against him.
A bamboo pipe lurked in the water for a long time, and passed through the roof of the house like a civet cat without making a sound. Emperor Hirohito immediately decided to ask Fujita Nishiko to quickly train his shooting skills. After completing the training, he immediately went to North China to perform a secret mission.
General Juichi Terauchi, the commander of the Japanese North China Front, was even more high-spirited. His strategies and tactics were approved by everyone from the emperor to the middle and lower-level generals. No one said he was unlucky anymore, even those who asked him to deal with the Eighth Division and the Third
The person in charge of Yusui of the Tenth Division also shut up. He had to admit that he was a giant in the army. His intelligence and record were among the first-class commanders of the imperial army.
Of course, Juichi Terauchi was not intoxicated. He knew that after fighting for so long, he had not even seen the shadow of Liu Yimin's main instructor. The real decisive battle was still to come, and the pressure he faced would become greater and greater. Not to mention the logistical pressure, just
It was the Kwantung Army and the Central China Front Army that sent several telegrams a day demanding the withdrawal of participating troops, which made him unbearable.
Shouyi in the temple now wants to sweep away the Nanshan District of Luzhong, Luzhong and Jiaodong as soon as possible, but he is also afraid. He doesn't know where Liu Yi's main force is hiding and when he will be stabbed again. This sword must make him unable to guard against it.
And it hits home.
After much deliberation, Terauchi Juichi felt that he had to speed up the pace of the campaign. Otherwise, if the base camp could not withstand the pressure of the Kwantung Army and the Central China Front Army and the main divisions were taken away, everything would be over. By then, those who stayed in various places would be
All the garrison divisions will become the food in instructor Liu Yimin's bowl. We must seize the opportunity now. Even if Liu Yimin's main force cannot be eliminated, we must drive them out of Shandong. In the future, we will build a strong defense line on the front line of Xuzhou so that they will never be able to return.
North China, it doesn’t matter who he hits, as long as he doesn’t hit himself.
The Japanese base camp and Juichi Terauchi had different ideas. They wanted visible results. Now Qingdao and Weihai have been captured, but the Marine Corps did not dare to leave the city for raids because the force was too weak to leave the combined fleet's carrier-based aircraft and
The naval gun protection circle will be attacked as soon as it leaves the city. The navy complained that although the capture of Qingdao and Weihai went smoothly, the roads along the way were covered with the corpses of Marine soldiers, especially at night, and they would be taken away every time they attacked on Tubal Road.
The lives of a group of Marines. The mission of the Marines is to carry out landing operations, not to be a scapegoat for the hapless North China rebels. Therefore, the base camp ordered Juichi Terauchi to modify the combat plan and change the Taiyi Mountain area first to attack first.
The reasons for Luzhong and Ludong are of course first and secondly, the 7th Division must return to Manchuria quickly, because Manchuria is really empty of troops, and even newly formed divisions cannot go there. The main division must be in charge, in case the Soviet Union
What should people do if they are bewitched by Liu Yimin? Manchuria is the fundamental interest of Japan, and there is no room for any mistakes. As long as the Jiaoji Road is opened, the Kwantung Army's Southward Corps can withdraw, and the Central China Front Army can also withdraw part of its troops. The remaining
Just let the North China Front deal with the Taiyi Mountains and Southeast Shandong.
Juichi Terauchi could not accept the order from the base camp. He sent a telegram to the base camp every day, demanding that the battle plan must be implemented. The problem of empty troops in Manchuria and Central China could be solved by expanding the army. The first division, the second division, the third division, the seventh division
The permanent elite divisions such as the Division, the Ninth Division, and the Thirteenth Division must wait until the main force of Liu Yimin's instructor has been eliminated before they can be transferred out. Otherwise, all previous efforts will be wasted.
Terauchi Juichi privately had another idea. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs had encountered trouble in negotiations with Germany. The Emperor had asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to inform him and asked him to use his connections in German political and military circles to help the Ministry of Foreign Affairs handle the negotiations. Terauchi Juichi felt that this
It was an opportunity for him to leave North China, a place of right and wrong, and escape from the bitter sea of fighting with instructor Liu Yimin. Liu Yimin was too difficult to deal with. If he were to wipe out a few more divisions, all his life-long glory and dreams would be wasted.
.It would be very good to eliminate Liu Yimin's forces in the middle of Lu, Ludong and Taiyi Mountains. If that doesn't work, the Thirty-six Strategies are the best. Once the Taiyi Mountains and Luzhong, Ludong are captured, then use the slope to get off the donkey.
, proposed to the Emperor to go to Germany to negotiate, and no longer serve as the commander of the unfortunate North China Front Army. However, with the blessing of Amaterasu, nothing would happen before he left. But if nothing happens, he must have a strong force and form a heavy army.
The group moved forward together, leaving Liu Yimin nowhere to start. Otherwise, as long as one division was left alone, it would probably become another delicacy for Liu Yimin.
The base camp didn't know Juichi Terauchi's true thoughts, but they still urged Juichi Terauchi to modify the battle plan. But they also knew that Juichi Terauchi's plan was really powerful, and Shandong could be pacified in one battle. In desperation, they asked the diplomats to find ways to step up efforts to contact the Soviet Union.
Contact, while constantly reporting through the news media that the First Division, the Second Division, and the Seventh Division have completed their combat missions in North China and are returning to Manchuria. They also vaguely revealed that the Kwantung Army has expanded its army and the newly established divisions
, independent mixed brigade and garrison teams are continuously moving from the mainland to Manchuria and will be deployed soon.
In just a few days, the Japanese army completed the replenishment of the Second Division and the 35th Division. Templeuchi was overjoyed and decided to launch a comprehensive attack on the hinterland of Shandong.
Considering that the Fifth Division and the Second Division are motorized divisions with strong maneuverability, the Fourteenth Division has been strengthened by the First Army and has fierce firepower. At the same time, the situation in the Hebei-Shandong border, Jizhong, and Western Shandong is stable, and the situation in the temple is stable.
Shouyi reorganized the troops, and under the pressure of the base camp, the Kwantung Army, and the Central China Front Army, he revised the battle plan and ordered the 32nd Division garrisoned in Cangxian County to take into account the defense line of the 7th Independent Mixed Brigade garrisoned in Dexian County.
The 7th Brigade and the independent mixed 1st Brigade stationed in southern Hebei were all transferred to the command of Lieutenant General Dongjiurgong Nianyan Wang, commander of the Second Army, leaving the 35th Division to defend Jinan, Dongjiurgong Nianyan
Lieutenant General Wang commanded the 2nd Division, the 5th Division, the 14th Division, the 33rd Division, the 108th Division, which were independently combined into the 1st Brigade, and independently combined into the 7th Brigade to form Jiaoji
Road Attack Group, the mission is to quickly open up the Jiaoji Road. Order Jun Tada to command the 3rd Division, 9th Division, 13th Division, 15th Division, and 17th Division of the Southern Line Group in Xuzhou
The front-line 106th Division, the 116th Division, the 34th Division in Tai'an, and the 114th Division stationed in Yanzhou cooperated to quickly attack Lunan and Central South Shandong. Order Naosaburo Gangbe
The northern line group commanded by the lieutenant general quickly crossed the Yellow River, concentrated the forces of the four permanent divisions of the First Division, the Sixth Division, the Seventh Division, and the Sixteenth Division, swept across the Taiyi Mountains, and was responsible for supporting the Jiaotong Army.
Jilu Assault Group and Southern Front Group combat missions.
As a result, all three Japanese armies rushed towards the hinterland of Shandong.
After being trained by fighting the Eighth Route Army for so long, Temple Shouichi, an old Japanese soldier, also learned how to fight a propaganda war. Before the army launched, he held a press conference in Peiping to use smoke bombs.
The press conference was hosted by Lieutenant General Seiichi Kita, head of the North China Front's secret service.
Terauchi Shouichi first introduced Japan's achievements in industrial development this year and repeatedly emphasized that the Empire of Japan was strong. Then he strongly condemned Liu Yimin, commander of the Eighth Route Army's teaching division, for his predatory attacks on Taiyuan, Tianjin, and Qingdao. Liu Yimin captured Taiyuan and
Not even a single screw was left in Taiyuan, turning a famous Chinese city into an empty city and ruins; Liu Yimin captured Tianjin, and in addition to plundering the financial capital, industrial and commercial enterprises and expatriate assets of the Japanese Empire in Tianjin, he also forcibly relocated Tianjin's private industry and commerce
Enterprises caused Tianjin's economy to regress for twenty years, and the people were in dire straits, which put a heavy burden on the Japanese Empire. Liu Yimin captured Qingdao and repeated his old tricks, turning the beautiful and rich Qingdao into a poor Qingdao. Now, in addition to the poor, Americans and British
Apart from the expatriates from Germany and other countries, there were only a few heavy smokers, prostitutes and 4 workers waiting to find work. What was particularly infuriating was that wherever Liu Yimin went, he devoured the financial assets of the Japanese Empire, and even
The deposits of residents in the bank are not spared. It is purely an act of banditry that disrupts the normal economic order. Now, the richest man in Asia is Liu Yimin and his bandit army, because he robbed all normal businesses in Tianjin and Qingdao
He robbed the money of Japanese expatriates, robbed the Imperial Bank of Japan, and robbed the money of all friends of the Imperial Army. It was an unforgivable crime!
