After the Japanese captured Lianyungang, the 15th Division and the 17th Division quickly went south to meet with Tada Jun.
After the five divisions gathered together, Tada Jun could no longer bear it and commanded his troops to attack Xuzhou. Of course, what was waiting for him along the way was not flowers and wine, but the Eighth Route Army troops kept stopping.
Ambush, block and harassment.
Fearing that the Eighth Route Army set up an ambush between Lianyungang and Xuzhou, Tada Jun carried the five divisions into a group and slowly attacked Xuzhou under the cover of the plane.
What the Japanese army could not imagine was that when the heavy army group commanded by Lieutenant General Nihiko and the heavy army group commanded by Tada Jung arrived near Xuzhou, the Eighth Route Army that besieged Xuzhou overnight disappeared like the world evaporated.
No trace of the shadow.
At this time, Nishio Suzusao, Higashijiugu, and Tada Jun gathered together in Xuzhou. Although the three old Japanese men met, they did not have any joy because they concentrated their strength to swing their fists, but the opponent in front of them suddenly
It disappeared, so uncomfortable that I just wanted to vomit blood.
Needless to say, Nishio Suzao defended Xuzhou and finally got his job done. He had basically nothing to do. However, he was a little unwilling to accept it and flew in a hurry from Japan to command the troops to defend Xuzhou and teach Liu Yimin blood.
The battle was fought so that the Japanese people knew that Nishio Suzuo was also a famous general of the Imperial Army and a pillar of the imperial army. But not only Suichi Desouchi, but also Shunji Hata, are the backbone of the army. As a result, this guy Liu Yimin did not cooperate at all and didn't even look at it.
Xuzhou took a look and played with a golden cicada, and played the imperial army like a monkey, making him useless. This is not the case with Liu Yimin, who is only good at slaughtering and digging traps. It’s so hateful!
Needless to say, Tada Jung, the troops he commanded were all from the Central China Front Army. The battlefield was in Suzhong, so the troops naturally had to return the establishment. Hata Jung had already started to directly issue orders to the divisions, Tada Jung had to prepare to be in shame.
He returned to Japan to be his deputy chief of staff. However, like Nishio Suzuo, Tada Jun was also very unwilling to accept it. He came to North China as the deputy chief of staff to supervise the war, but as a result, he was the same as Desouchi Takashi and was commissioned by Desouchi Takashi.
The heavy responsibility is to command the Southern Line Group to fight. But after fighting, I didn't even find the shadow of the main force of the Eighth Route Army, let alone destroying one regiment, one battalion, and one company in an organized manner. This matter is embarrassing, knowing
He said that the Eighth Route Army was too cunning, and those who didn’t know also said that he was Tada Jun was very incompetent!
Tada Jun couldn't understand why the Eighth Route Army was slipperier than loaches! It was obvious that hundreds of thousands of troops woven a large net, and they could clear the area and fish in the waters, but they still let the main force of the Eighth Route Army slip out.
After thinking about it, Tada Jun felt that it was better to not expand the scale of the aggression. As long as he could force the Chiang Kai-shek government to surrender or recognize the vested interests of the Great Japanese Empire, the more ruthless the war against China, the weaker the preparations for the Soviet Union, and the loss would be more than worth it.
.
But then I thought about it, although the Imperial Army has captured a large area of China's territory since the war started, it has suffered heavy losses. Especially the Eighth Route Army in front of me, the nemesis of the Imperial Army of the Great Japanese Empire, and the Imperial Army was defeated by one battle.
, it has become a laughing stock. If this continues, it will be difficult to maintain the current occupied land.
Tada Jun is also a senior general with strategic vision within the Japanese army. He was also full of confidence when he moved from southeast Jiaodong. He hoped to annihilate the main force of the instructor in one fell swoop and completely solve the hidden dangers in the occupied areas of North China. Because in his opinion, Liu Yimin could not not attack Xuzhou.
Everyone knows that the Japanese heavy army group is far away in Jiaodong, and it is beyond reach. Since Liu Yimin can eliminate the 8th and 10th divisions in one battle, he should not take the 106th division guarding Xuzhou.
Liu Yimin attacked Xuzhou, so it would be easy. Under the siege of heavy troops, he could not escape the palm of the Tathagata Buddha. In this way, he could become famous in one battle and might never have to be in the Yiyuan again.
Prince Gong Zairen was so angry. Unfortunately, Liu Yimin actually used this trick, making his hero useless. Seeing that the military power was about to be handed over, his ambition was trampled into pieces like the ruined city wall of Xuzhou.
His thin face turned into pig's waist.
King Higashijiu'er Nihiko was also very depressed. Since he replaced Nishio Shousaki as commander of the Second Army, he had not reported good news to the base camp. Although neither the Emperor nor the Chief of Staff said anything, he knew,
It is impossible for me to always make no achievements like this. If I continue like this, I am afraid that the title of incompetence will fall on me. I must think carefully and see how I can catch up with Liu Yimin's main force and beat him in one fell swoop.
It annihilated.
Although the three old Japanese had their own thoughts, one thing was the same, that is, they had a deep sense of frustration. Therefore, after the meeting in Xuzhou, the three old Japanese soldiers discussed briefly and ordered the troops to search everywhere and ordered the planes.
The scope of reconnaissance is expanded, hoping to find out where the main force of the Eighth Route Army is.
That's not all. In order to boost morale and to give yourself a face, the three old Japanese held a press conference in Xuzhou.
This press conference was very strange, because none of the three old Japanese were commanders of the North China Front Army or the Central China Front Army, and they had no right to announce the major results of the security war on behalf of the front army. In addition, Tada Jung and Nishio Suzusao were not as good as Soichi Desouchi, who was not as good as Soichi of the Temple.
That kind of arrogance, only the old playboy, King Nianyan, of Dongjiuer Palace, pretended to be decent. At the meeting, the Imperial Army pacified Shandong and the Eighth Route Army's Jiaodong troops were trapped in the mountains. It would take no time for the ammunition to be exhausted.
Food was out of stock; Liu Yimin fled in a panic under the attack of the Imperial Army's heavy army group.
King Nianyan of Dongjiu Palace also mocked Liu Yimin at the press conference, saying that Liu Yimin was known as the invincible god of war and swore that he would guard Lianyun Port and capture Xuzhou in the power supply, but he did not fire a shot.
Then he fled. It can be seen that Liu Yimin is also a shameless person who only speaks big, empty talk and likes to rob. He just takes advantage of the loopholes of the Imperial Army and goes to Lianyungang to steal the Imperial Army supplies. The real battle between the two armies is real, and the real swords and guns
In the fight, Liu Yimin is definitely not a match for the Imperial Army.
Perhaps Lieutenant General Nianyan of Dongjiu Palace was excited and said he was scammering, or perhaps it was his inner lust that was causing trouble. He repeated the eight crimes he had announced to Liu Yimin at the Jinan press conference.
Even saliva flowed from the corner of his mouth, staring with lustful eyes, reading a few disgusting novels compiled by Wang Kemin and others that slandered Liu Yimin in public, and finally reiterated that the Jinan Military Law Conference's six charges were indeed sufficient facts and evidence
Confirm and accurate sentencing.
King Nianyan of Dongjiu Palace didn't know that his nonsense was not far from his death. Liu Yimin was originally in a hidden standby state, and the radio station was basically silent. He didn't know that the Japanese traitors were ruining him like this. The Eighth Route Army Headquarters did not affect his command.
He did not tell him about the battle. The underground parties in various places made every effort to confiscate and destroy novels made by Wang Kemin and others. It is estimated that few people would tell Liu Yimin about this in the future. Originally, this matter might have passed, but now Dong
King Nianyan of the Jiuer Palace foamed at the two mouths, and the old things were brought up again. After the victory, Liu Yimin was staring at the movements of the Japanese. He would soon know the nonsense of King Nianyan of the Dongjiuer Palace.
King Nianyan of Jiuer Palace is planting disaster for him, I am afraid that the God of Death is coming to him quietly!
King Naihiko Tokuroku, who had been tempted, returned to the headquarters and received a telegram from the base camp, ordering Tada Jung and Nishio Suzuo to return to the base camp, asking him to obey Hata Shunrok's orders and command the troops to pursue the main force of Liu Yimin.
King Nianyan of the Dongjiu Palace quickly found the traces of the Eighth Route Army. The news about Liu Yimin in Huai'an was like a wind blowing, and soon spread to Xuzhou. In addition to the comprehensive aircraft reconnaissance and the information of the Japanese and traitors from all over the country, Hata Shunrok and Higashi
King Nianyan of the Palace quickly determined that the reason why Liu Yimin did not attack Xuzhou was because he saw that the Imperial Army had no main force in Suzhong, and that Suzhong was extremely empty. Liu Yimin led the Eighth Route Army's instructor to attack from multiple directions.
I have taken over the central Soviet area.
This time, the Japanese became excited again. Not to mention Hata Shunruo and Higashigurou Palace King Nianyan, the division commanders screamed, as if they could destroy the main force of the instructor as long as they pounced on them.
Since we have found the whereabouts of the main force of the Eighth Route Army instructor, this battle is so big.
At this time, the old Japanese devils at the base camp were in view of the stable situation in Shandong and central Hebei, and their ambitions expanded again. They dreamed of annihilation of the main force of the instructor in one fell swoop, and pursued the victory and launched the Battle of Wuhan.
In view of this consideration, the base camp decided to adjust the troops sequence, transfer the Second Army to the Central China Expeditionary Army, and its subordinate troops were adjusted to the Third Division, the Thirteenth Division, and the Sixteenth Division. At the same time, the base camp decided to be in the Kwantung Army.
The Third Army and the Fourth Army were established, and the 11th Army was formed in central China. Among them, the 11th Army was commanded by Lieutenant General Okamura Yasuki, the commander of the Second Division, who had outstanding performance, and Major General Satoichi Yoshimoto was appointed as chief of staff
, under its jurisdiction, the 6th Division, the 9th Division, the 27th Division, the 101st Division, the 106th Division, and the Hatan Detachment.
As a result, there was another adjustment within the Japanese army. Hata Shunji ordered the 15th Division, the 17th Division, and the 116th Division, which were originally part of the Central China Front Army, to quickly transport the southward ship, which had been supplemented.
, strengthen the Jiangbei defense line, and order Lieutenant General Niiyan of Dongjiugu and Lieutenant General Okamura to command the Second Army on the Xuzhou line. The 11th Army quickly swept from north to south, swept across northern Jiangsu, central Jiangsu, and chased and annihilated
The main force of the instructor.
The defense on the front line of Xuzhou was re-assigned to the North China Front Army. According to the command of the headquarters, the 14th Division returned to eastern Henan and commanded the 39th Division and the 38th Division in southwestern Shandong, quickly stabilizing the situation in eastern Henan.
, prepare for the capture of Kaifeng and Zhengzhou. The 114th Division and the Independent Mixed Fifth Brigade arrived at the front line from Xuzhou to Lianyungang, and were responsible for the garrison task of the eastern section of Longhai Road. The 5th Division commanded the newly established Xuzhou garrison to station in Xuzhou and undertake the responsibility of
Support southern front operations and support combat missions in eastern Henan.
The command of the base camp delayed the Japanese army on the front line of Xuzhou for a while. The commander of the Central China Expeditionary Army, Shinro Hata, Chief of Staff of the North China Front Army, Naosaburo Kashimabu, and the new commander of the 11th Army, Okamura Yasuji, flew to Xuzhou and Nishio.
Shouzuo, Tada Jung, and Higakiormian King Nianhiko held a meeting to discuss specific combat deployments.
This Shinji Hata is 59 years old this year. If you take off your military uniform, you will be a shabby old man. If outsiders look like they would never think that this is a butcher who kills without blinking. But it is this shabby old man with a body hidden in his body.
With the power of madness, I have always dreamed of occupying China in full.
Shinji Hata, Suzusaki Nishio, Jung Tada, King Higashikura Miyaki, Naosaburo Katsube, and Yoshiji Okamura, and what else can there be good things for the six demons to come together?
Sure enough, after meeting with Shinji Hata Shunji, Tada Jung, Higashikuro, and Naosaburo Kazube, he threw out a bombshell to capture Wuhan in one fell swoop with the main force of chasing the tutor.
Hata Shunji's idea is this. Since the situation in central Hebei and southern Hebei is stable, the Japanese army can draw a large number of troops for offensive operations. At present, the war in Shandong is also becoming stable. The Eighth Route Army of Jiaodong has become a turtle in the jar and can surround it without attacking.
The 108th Division and the 33rd Division cooperated with the Jiaoji Railway Guards and the Qingdao Guards can be sieged. The Independent Mixed First Brigade, and the Independent Mixed Seventh Brigade went south to participate in the battle. The Eighth Route Army in southern Shandong
The combat power is limited, as long as you guard the Jinpu Road and Taiwei Highway, you can temporarily block it. The 34th Division stationed in Tai'an and the 35th Division stationed in Yanzhou are responsible for the blockade mission in southern Shandong. Lianyungang to the east of Henan,
Leave it to the 114th Division, and the 39th Division commands 30,000 Manchurian National Defense Forces’ garrison. The newly formed Xuzhou garrison, Lianyungang garrison, will soon arrive. After they arrive, 30,000 Manchurian National Defense Forces will be delivered.
We can cooperate with the Imperial Army to fight against northern Jiangsu, southern Shandong and southeastern Shandong. Since Liu Yimin went to Suzhong, we can take advantage of the favorable conditions for the Suzhong water network to chase and annihilate the unit. The specific idea is to use the Fifth Division
The regiment, the 14th Division commands the First Independent Mixed Brigade, the Fifth Independent Mixed Brigade, the Seventh Independent Mixed Brigade is the left wing, the King of Higashijiugu Nihiko commands the Second Army as the middle wing, and Okamura Yasuji
Command the 11th Army troops to the right wing, quickly set off from the Xuzhou line, advancing in unison, sweeping north and middle Suzhou, chasing and annihilating the main force of Liu Yimin's teaching master, compressing Liu Yimin into the Jiangbei defense line, and annihilated it in one fell swoop. After completing the task, stay independent and mixed into the line
The first brigade, the 5th Independent Mixed Brigade, the 7th Independent Mixed Brigade was stationed in northern Jiangsu, central Jiangsu, the 5th Division, and the 14th Division quickly returned to Xuzhou and commanded the front-line troops in Xuzhou with the cooperation of the northern Henan troops.
In the east of Henan, they captured Kaifeng, and pursued the First War Zone troops westward, and captured Zhengzhou with a camera. Then they stopped in Zhengzhou, turned around and headed south, cooperated with the 11th Army, and the Second Army captured Wuhan.
After Hata Shunruo finished speaking, Nishiosu raised his eyebrows and added: "Working against Liu Yimin, we cannot consider local garrison. What we need is to chase quickly, and we must chase Liu Yimin around like a rabbit, so that he will not be allowed to do so.
Don't crash into our Jiangbei defense line. I consider this battle, and the two wings must boldly intersperse and detour. First, circle the main force of Liu Yimin's teaching master into the encirclement. If we really circle him into the encirclement, we can also draw Hebei Central, Hebei Southern, Hebei
The defenders from the border of Shandong, Taixi, southwestern Shandong and Jinpu lines went south to reinforce. As long as the teacher Liu Yimin is eliminated, it will be worth the price!"
Hata Shunji nodded: "This time we don't want the northern Jiangsu and central Jiangsu territory, just teach Liu Yimin's main force. The most fundamental purpose is to capture Wuhan, destroy the will of Chiang Kai-shek's government in one fell swoop, and resolve the war in China."
Tada Jun repeatedly thought about the strategic issues of the war of aggression against China these days, and had some experiences. He proposed that the Taiwan Army should be expanded into at least five brigades, and at the critical moment of the Wuhan Battle, they should be defeated, and they will capture Guangzhou in one fell swoop, and completely cut off China.
The government's foreign trade channel.
When Hata Shunji heard this, his thin face immediately became vivid. He saluted Tada Jun and said affectionately: "Tada Jun, please ask. After returning to the base camp, please give me more advice and make this matter as soon as possible."
Naosaburo Katsubu is different from these people. Soichi Desunouchi was not here, so he was considering more about the security issues in North China. The base camp assigned the Second Army to the Central China Expeditionary Army, and Hata Shunrok changed the base camp's order and overstepped the authority to transfer the Fifth Division.
The 14th Division, the Independent Mixed First Brigade, the Independent Mixed Fifth Brigade, and the Independent Mixed Seventh Brigade, were equivalent to the removal of the core divisions of the North China Front Army, except for the 20th Division of the First Army.
Outside the regiment, there are either special divisions or security divisions. Although there are a lot of them, what kind of thing are they all! If Liu Yimin's power escaped from Suzhong and returned to Shandong, these troops can block Liu Yimin's tiger and wolf.
A teacher?
Therefore, Naosaburo Kazuo carefully suggested whether he could leave the Fifth Division, the 14th Division and three independent mixed brigades in North China, and exchange for the 32nd, 33rd, 34th, 30th
The 54th Division followed the army southward.
Naosaburo Kawabu's statement made Hata Shunruo furious and directly accused the North China Front Army of ineffective command and wasting money and food, causing significant losses to the Imperial Army. No matter how elite the troops were, they had to have a skilled command. The Fifth Division,
The 14th Division and three independent mixed brigades should make achievements in chasing and annihilation of Liu Yimin's teaching and capturing Wuhan. The North China Front Army should train troops to make the security division transferred to North China mature as soon as possible, as if it happened in the
Things about the 35th Division and the 33rd Division must not happen again, and the faces of the Japanese soldiers were thrown away.
No matter whether it is famous or experienced, Naosaburo Katsube is incomparable to Shinjiro Hata. After being scolded, he had to nod respectfully and say, Hata. Hata was finished and only remembered the benefits of Suichi Desouchi. If he were there, how could it be Shinjiro Hata turn to trick his fingers.
, Why are you soothing? Now that Shou Nai’s departure, his chief of staff will be scolded by others!
Okamura Yasuji had just taken office and basically didn't speak. He knew that whether he could fight the Wuhan battle depends on whether he could successfully eliminate the main force of Liu Yimin's teaching staff. Therefore, he was very supportive of Hata Shunrok's deployment and expressed his determination.
