After entering the war room, Shimomoto Xiongmi did not wait for the staff on duty to take action. He swept the floor and opened the curtain covering the battle map on the wall. After a brief glance, his eyes were fixed on Gao Mi. Look.
After a moment, he turned around and shouted to Suzuki Toshiyuki: "Tell me, what's going on?"
Suzuki Toshiyuki was already absent-minded at this time and could no longer speak clearly and fluently. Seeing that Moto Kuma Mi's voice was stern, a bit like a monster ready to choose people to eat at any time, he reported tremblingly: "I just received the report from the 104th Brigade's Tamami Di Four
Major General Lou reported that it was Colonel Kudo Jintaka of the 105th Infantry Regiment. An infantry squadron stationed in Gaomi reported that it was attacked by the Eighth Route Army and requested emergency guidance. But two minutes later, the squadron sent a farewell message.
He sent a message saying that Gaomi County had been breached, the radio station would be blown up, and everyone would die for the country.”
Xia Yuan Xiong Mi's original scheming had long since disappeared. He slapped the table and shouted: "Gaomi County is an important station on the Jiaoji Railway. In addition to an infantry squadron of the 105th Regiment, there are also Jiaoji
A squadron of the Road Guard garrisoned the train station. The fortifications were strong, and the high-density joint self-defense group had a large number of people. The guards were all issued Japanese-style equipment, and it was impossible to destroy them all at once. Call immediately and order Jiaoji Road
The garrison immediately investigated the situation."
Suzuki Toshiyuki's voice became a vibrato: "Your Excellency, the division commander, the phone is out of service. I just sent a telegram to the Jiaoji Road garrison headquarters. They reported that the Gaomi Station garrison squadron reported that everything is normal."
Shimomoto Xiongmi raised his eyebrows: "Hmm. Everything is normal? This is interesting."
After saying that, Ximomoto Xiongya walked around the office twice without saying a word, then turned around and sat down at his desk, and ordered Suzuki Toshiyuki: "Contact the garrison in various places immediately, and the telegram must be sent to the squadron to ask them
Immediately report any abnormal enemy situation."
In fact, there is no need to send another telegram to inquire. The major general on the fourth floor of the 104th Brigade, which is mainly responsible for the south of Jiaoji Road, immediately sent another telegram, saying that in addition to Gaomi, the brigade was stationed in Jiaoxian, Linqu, and Boshan.
All three county defenders have lost contact. The only one who can maintain contact now is the Anqiu garrison. The Kondo Tree 3rd Battalion there has dispatched troops to pursue the attacking guerrillas because Yukio Asaichi, the staff officer of the Second Army Headquarters, was assassinated in the county this morning.
After encountering Li Wenli's troops in Xiaoguanzhuang, the search team suffered heavy losses. Later, the main force of the brigade arrived and pursued Li Wenli's troops to Zhoujia Village on the Linghe line. They had a fierce battle with about a regiment of Li Wenli's troops. With our
The army's victory ended with a great victory. Before launching the attack, Kondo Shu's Third Battalion asked for help from the 105th Regiment and requested to send troops to Anqiu County. The 105th Regiment transferred a squadron from Fangzi to Anqiu and rushed to Anqiu.
Qiu communication is open.
Immediately afterwards, Major General Naozo Nakano of the 25th Brigade stationed north of Jiaoji Road also sent a telegram, saying that after dark today, the Eighth Route Army flowing in the Qinghe area suddenly launched a full-line attack, and most of the forward strongholds of the unit were uprooted.
Now the brigade has ordered the troops to stay on the spot and resolutely repel Tubal Road's attack.
In fact, Xia Yuan Xiong Mi did not know that Anqiu City had been captured by the Eighth Route Army before dark. The reason why the Anqiu defenders reported that everything was normal was because Wang Laohu had seized a complete radio and code book at the Anqiu defenders' brigade headquarters.
The same is true for the Gaomi Station Garrison. They were formed relatively late and did not understand the original instructions given by Juichi Teruchi. When the Sixth Brigade captured Gaomi Station, these new recruits of the Railway Garrison did not understand the terrible consequences of the radio station being seized.
Destroy the radio station in time. The Japanese 108th Division Squadron in Gaomi County and the Japanese troops in several other counties are all troops of the 108th Division. They strictly enforce the original instructions of the North China Front Army and can be used when battles occur.
The radio station was quickly blown up at the last moment. So, there were problems in those places.
After reading the telegram, Xia Yuan Xiong Mi was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. He never expected that such a thing would happen. The Jiaoji Road mopping up operation had not yet begun, but the Eighth Route Army launched an offensive first. He is an old soldier.
We know that the most fearful thing about fighting is that this happens when the opponent is about to attack. Because the opponent is busy mobilizing troops at this time and is in a hurry. Attacking at this time is what the Chinese often say, "hitting the snake seven inches away". No, it should be
"Kill you while you are sick." Thinking about it, I felt that these two sentences were inappropriate. Forget it, Xiongmi Shimomoto's Chinese proficiency was limited anyway, and he couldn't think of a more suitable word.
After a while, Shimomoto Xiongmi calmed down and said to Suzuki Toshiyuki in a low voice: "Suzuki-kun, this matter is not simple. We are about to launch a mopping up operation on Jiaoji Road. At this moment, the missing Eighth Route Army suddenly
They changed their strategy and launched a large-scale attack. What did they want to do? How many troops did they have? Did they get wind of it in advance and launch an attack to disrupt our army's deployment, or did they plan for a long time to launch a large-scale annihilation war? These questions need to be carefully studied.
In this way, you immediately report to the Twelfth Army Headquarters. First, ask them to immediately analyze all available intelligence and determine the purpose of the Eighth Route Army's attack. Second, ask Commander Otaka Kamezo to order the aviation forces in Qingdao, Jinan, and Xuzhou to attack after dawn.
All dispatch, be sure to find out the entire battlefield situation, and expose the Eighth Route Army's intentions to me. Third, ask for instructions from the Second Army Headquarters. Our division has made a preliminary judgment that the division is facing an unprecedented danger, and plans to shrink its troops or concentrate them in Jinan.
Or concentrate on Weixian. Please ask the Second Army Headquarters for clear instructions. Fourth, please ask the Second Army to order the 33rd Division to either advance to Qingdao immediately or move closer to Weixian. It is best to move closer to Weixian and join us.
The divisions formed a heavily-armed group to avoid being defeated individually by the Eighth Route Army."
After issuing the order, seeing Suzuki Toshiyuki about to turn around and send a telegram, Shimomoto Xiongmi thought for a while and added: "Inform the Jinan secret service and ask them to immediately contact the personnel sent to negotiate with Li Wenli and Zhang Jingyue.
Let them quickly report the current movements of these two units to facilitate a comprehensive assessment of the enemy's situation."
Suzuki Toshiyuki shouted, turned around and walked out quickly.
After Suzuki Toshiro walked, Shimomoto Kumaya fell down on an armchair, staring at the map, thinking about what the Eighth Route Army was going to do.
Shimomoto Xiongmi never imagined that at this moment, the God of Death was walking towards him step by step. His time in the human world had already entered a countdown, and it was counted in minutes.
After receiving the report from the 108th Division, the staff officer on duty at the Second Army Headquarters immediately woke up the chief of staff, Major General Asaburo Kobayashi.
After Kobayashi Asaburo and Odaka Kamezo took office in the Twelfth Army, they have not had any leisure time in the past few days. There is no way, people's lives are different. Some people live a life of leisure and wealth, and some people live a life of running around and working hard, but Major General Kobayashi Asaburo obviously
His fate was not good. He had to deal with a reckless commander like Odaka Kamezo, and had to wipe his butt constantly. He was a fire-fighting team, and it was hard even if he didn't want to be tired.
These days, Odaka Kamezo is busy planning his offensive plan, doing all the work of the chief of staff. Kobayashi Asaburo instead does the work of the commander, interviewing officials of the pseudo-Shandong Provincial Government, and conducting inspections
The pseudo-Shandong Garrison, the Police Department, and even the acting governor of the pseudo-Shandong Provincial Government Office, Tang Yangdu, all saw the special character and special power structure of the commander and chief of staff of the 12th Army, and followed Major General Asaburo Kobayashi every day.
Behind his back, he kept telling about the consequences of the Eighth Route Army's rampage in Jinan City, and the difficulties that he, the acting governor, had in his unjustified reputation. He hoped that the Chief of Staff would understand everything and help him solve the financial shortage, food problems, and commercial circulation problems in Jinan City.
Problems and so on, even the issue of building a fake Shandong Provincial Government Office Building, Tang Yangdu repeatedly talked about it with tears in his eyes, vividly describing the atrocities of Han Fuqu setting fire to the provincial government compound when he retreated, and the establishment of the Provincial Government Office Building.
The brand-new pseudo-Shandong Provincial Government Office Building can enhance the prestige of the Imperial Army, promote the national power of the Japanese Empire and His Majesty the Emperor's grace, and is conducive to the establishment of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. The significance was repeatedly stated until Asaburo Kobayashi nodded.
Promising to build the pseudo-Shandong Provincial Government Office Building as soon as possible, Tang Yang and Du Cai took him to his home, set up a nice table, and called several concubines of Ma Liang, a traitor he had taken in, to drink and have fun with him.
Although he was busy and tired, Asaburo Kobayashi never tired of it. Think about it, he was just a mid-level officer in Japan. Of course, the salary of Japanese army officers was not low, but after all, it was just salary, which was given to his wife to support the family. Eighth Route Army
The fighting in Shandong was fierce, the Japanese army lost troops and generals, and they kept forming new units. The officers naturally rose, and the market was bullish. It was under this background that Kobayashi Asaburo was promoted to major general and was sent to the Twelfth Army as chief of staff. According to common sense
, with the commander here, the chief of staff only provides military advice and cannot interfere in other matters casually. Fortunately, I met a commander like Odaka Kamezo. He is a war maniac. He spends the whole day thinking about how to attack and how to mop up. He is free.
At that time, Commander Otaka Kamezo didn't care much about political and economic issues, as long as he had good wine and beautiful women. Therefore, although Kobayashi Asaburo has only been in office for a short time, he has already tasted the sweetness of having great power and being able to respond to every call.
, no matter how hard or tiring it is, I don’t feel like it’s hard anymore.
On November 7, at dawn, Asaburo Kobayashi took a plane to Xuzhou to inspect the defense of the 114th Division and the Manchurian National Defense Force.
In Xuzhou, Asaburo Kobayashi met with the commander of the 114th Division, Lieutenant General Suematsu Shigeharu, and the two brigade commanders, and inspected the Xuzhou defense system. Seeing that the 114th Division was highly motivated and well-trained, Asaburo Kobayashi was very happy
Satisfied. However, during the inspection of the Xuzhou garrison, Asaburo Kobayashi became furious and called the Xuzhou garrison a garbage force that was a disgrace to those who defeated the Imperial Japanese Army.
The cause of the matter is very simple. When Asaburo Kobayashi inspected the First Garrison Brigade of Xuzhou Garrison, it happened to be the time for the brigade's tactical training. They arrested ten Chinese civilians, tied them all to wooden stakes, and asked the soldiers to practice stabbing. Kobayashi Asaburo
Saburo waved his hand to stop the captain who wanted to order the troops to line up to welcome him, and stood aside with a group of officers to watch quietly.
To Kobayashi Asaburo's surprise, the soldiers who went up to practice assassination were not as ferocious as the soldiers from the permanent division. Most of the soldiers couldn't help but close their eyes when they drew their bayonets. They were hesitant in drawing out their bayonets. Many of them stabbed their bayonets to the side.
On the wooden stake. The funniest thing is a guy with pimples on his face. He closed his eyes, screamed strangely, and stabbed the Chinese with a knife. Not bad, the bayonet penetrated the Chinese's abdomen, and he was suddenly awakened by severe pain.
The numb Chinese man opened his mouth and cursed, "Little Japan, I'll fuck your grandma," and then kicked the imperial soldier into a somersault. It would have been fine if the matter only ended here, but something unfortunate happened.
After the soldier stood up from the ground, he wiped his face with his hands, and his hands were covered with blood. The soldier stood dumbly at first, and after a while, the soldier let out a beast-like cry: "Mom.
Yeah, I killed someone, I killed someone!" Then he ran around the playground, shouting "I killed someone" as he ran. In the end, the soldier went crazy and tore his clothes and even his crotch as he ran.
It's a mess.
Asaburo Kobayashi's brows furrowed more and more as he watched. By the time the soldier went crazy, he couldn't stand it any longer. He grabbed the unlucky captain, slapped him across the face, and shouted at the same time: "Baga!
Is this how you train your troops? You pig, you have trained strong Japanese men into a group of pigs. No, not even as good as pigs. Pigs will bite when they are anxious, but your soldiers can’t even bite. It’s purely
A flock of sheep.”
After beating the captain, the crazy soldier happened to run up to Kobayashi Asaburo. Without thinking, Kobayashi Asaburo drew his command sword and slashed it, splitting the crazy soldier in half.
After finishing the chop, Asaburo Kobayashi took off his blood-stained white gloves, wiped his command knife, inserted the knife into the scabbard, threw the dirty gloves onto the body of the crazy soldier, and then walked quickly to the training area.
In front of the team of soldiers, he shouted loudly: "Soldiers, what are we doing in China? It is to occupy China and rule China until China is completely integrated into the territory of the Empire of Japan and becomes an inseparable part of the Empire of Japan. I have seen you.
I am very disappointed with the training. Shame! Shame! The Xuzhou garrison is a group of cowards! You have not only insulted the honor of your family, the honor of the Imperial Japanese Army, but also the honor of His Majesty the Emperor. You are a group of cowards,
You are not worthy of holding the flag of the sun and charging, you are not worthy of enjoying the glory of a soldier of the Empire of Japan, you are only worthy of being an unlucky fisherman in Hokkaido!"
After scolding for a while, probably because he felt that the poisonous gas was gone, Major General Kobayashi Asaburo snatched the rifle from a soldier and shouted: "Now, I will lead you to practice slashing and stabbing. Follow me and practice. If you can't do it well, you will be put in confinement for three days."
, no eating allowed!”
After finishing speaking, Kobayashi Asaburo turned around and stood still with the gun in his hand. He yelled the assassination instructions loudly, then suddenly stepped forward with his left foot, exerted force on his right leg, shouted "kill", and inserted the bayonet accurately and hard.
He faced the chest of the Chinese citizen who was tied to a wooden stake. Then he stirred quickly, quickly pulled out his bayonet, turned around and shouted at the messy soldiers whose steps and gun-drawing postures were uneven: "Do you see clearly?"
These soldiers are all young people who have recently been recruited into the army. They have never seen such a formation before. They have already been frightened by Kobayashi Asaburo's ferocity and their knees are spinning, and their faces are ashen. Who dares to answer him?
Asaburo Kobayashi sighed inwardly, knowing that these new recruits were far from being qualified soldiers. When did the Imperial Japanese Army reach such a point that even recruits without formal training were sent to the battlefield?
Asaburo Kobayashi stopped chatting with the soldiers, turned around and continued his performance, stabbing the remaining nine Chinese civilians to death one by one in one breath. The sword he drew was fierce, swift, accurate and powerful, killing him with one blow.
After the stabbing, Asaburo Kobayashi finally made a surprising discovery. He saw surprise, envy, desire, and longing in the eyes of most of the soldiers. This was enough, after all, they were new soldiers, and they had to be tempered slowly.
Sure enough, after receiving the order for free exercise, most of the soldiers in the brigade went crazy, straightening out their bayonets and stabbing the corpses of the civilians indiscriminately, like a group of bloodthirsty animals out of their cages.
When leaving the training ground, Asaburo Kobayashi warned the commander of the Xuzhou garrison that if he still failed to improve the training and improve the combat effectiveness of the troops, the Twelfth Army would report to the base camp and transfer the Xuzhou garrison to the Wuhan battlefield to be used as a front-line force.
. The commander of the Xuzhou garrison was so frightened that he apologized repeatedly, repeatedly promised to strictly implement the orders of the chief of staff, and took the opportunity to secretly stuff two small yellow croakers into Asaburo Kobayashi's pocket.
Contrary to Kobayashi Asaburo's expectation, the Manchuria National Defense Force brought him a surprise. After this unit was transferred to the pass, it participated in the mopping up operations in central Hebei and southern Hebei. Judging from the inspection, the training of the soldiers was good and the equipment was also very good.
.Although the troops suffered heavy losses, and the 30,000 troops have now been reduced to about 25,000, there is not much sadness and panic on the faces of the soldiers. This is enough. Their mission is to cooperate with the imperial army in combat, and this training level is better than that of the fake ones.
The Shandong Garrison Headquarters knew how much higher it was. Kobayashi Senzaburo was so excited that he decided to report to the base camp on the spot to commend the Puppet Manchuria National Defense Force.
Hearing the commendation of Major General Kobayashi Asaburo, the commander of the Puppet Manchuria National Defense Force was so excited that he immediately dispatched two battalions to give a report performance for Kobayashi Asaburo. Kobayashi Asaburo burst into tears of joy and kept shouting.
Call Yosi.
After inspecting the Puppet Manchuria National Defense Force, Asaburo Kobayashi couldn't help but think of Lieutenant General Sasaki Yuichi, the commander of the third independent mixed brigade in Yushan, Weixian County. He was the father of the Puppet Manchuria National Defense Force. How could the Puppet Manchuria National Defense Force be what it is now?
The training level is all due to him. Asaburo Kobayashi wondered whether the method of Sasaki to the first lieutenant general should be implemented in the pseudo-Shandong garrison, and the imperial army instructors should be sent to the platoon level, and the soldiers should sit in a company. Which soldier
If someone dares to escape before the battle, his family and comrades will be implicated. One person escapes and kills his whole family. Another person cowers before the battle and shoots the entire class. If this is the case, I believe the combat effectiveness of the pseudo-Shandong garrison will make a qualitative leap.
After flying back to Jinan from Xuzhou, Asaburo Kobayashi inspected the defense of Jinan City without stopping, and slapped, imprisoned, intimidated and made wishes to the officers of the Jinan garrison who were in similar condition to the Xuzhou garrison.
There is only one, which is to increase the combat effectiveness of the Jinan garrison in the short term, and at least build up the fighting will of the soldiers.
After working hard until dark, Asaburo Kobayashi had dinner at the Jinan garrison and then took the car back to the headquarters.
After arriving at the headquarters, Lieutenant General Odaka Kamezo, commander of the Twelfth Army, told him that the mopping up operation on Jiaoji Road was about to begin. Tomorrow he would rush to Weixian in person to inspect the 108th Division and direct the mopping up operation. He asked Xiaolin
Asaburo stayed at the headquarters and was in charge of Jinan.
Asaburo Kobayashi already knew Lieutenant General Otaka Kamezo very well, and was not surprised that he was going to Weixian to directly command operations. However, he kindly reminded him that the distance from Jinan to Weixian was very long, and it would take a long time to get there by train.
, it will affect the actions of the troops. Shouldn't you go? Lieutenant General Xia Yuan Xiong Mi is a veteran in the army and has careful plans. It is better to let him command the 108th Division, the 33rd Division, and the Jiaoji Road Garrison.
Fighting should be foolproof.
Major General Kobayashi Asasaburo didn't know that Lieutenant General Odaka Kamezo had already classified Maeda Haru, Shimomoto Kumaya, and Amakasu Jutaro as old men in his mind, and had secretly reported to the Chief of General Staff, Prince Kanin Miyazahito, and the Prime Minister of the Land, General Sugimoto, that
Secretly requested that these people be transferred back to Japan and transferred to the reserve force, and another group of young officers be sent to Shandong to serve. Odaka Kamezo even said in the secret message that the most fundamental reason for the chaos in the occupied areas of Shandong was not the Eighth Route Army Tai
Cunning and too tenacious, it is not that the remnants of the Kuomintang are constantly causing trouble, but that these division commanders with heavy troops are afraid of the enemy and war, raising tigers and leaving troubles, fattening up the Eighth Route Army. If they can take the initiative to attack
, after the main force of Liu Yimin's teaching division went south, the resistance forces in Shandong had long been wiped out. How could there be a situation like today where the Eighth Route Army continues to encroach on the areas occupied by the imperial army?
Therefore, after listening to Kobayashi Asaburo's words, Odaka Kamezo told him that he would not take a train, a car, or a guard, but would fly there early tomorrow morning and skydive in Weixian, which would not affect the actions of the 108th Division.
.
Kobayashi Senzaburo was quite surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect Otaka Kamezo to be so bold and come up with the idea of parachuting. It seems that Lieutenant General Otaka Kamezo's title of "brave-footed general" is indeed worthy of his name.
After the two people discussed it, Lieutenant General Kobayashi Asasaburo was also tired, so he asked the guard to call a little female soldier from the communications team, and they went to bed with him in his arms.
Asaburo Kobayashi and Kamezo Otaka are partners. Not to mention, they are a match made in heaven. Kamezo Otaka is more than brave but lacks poise, but Asaburo Kobayashi is round on the outside and square on the inside, mature and experienced. If nothing else, just look at Kobayashi.
Asaburo likes to choose female soldiers from the communications team to accompany him to his bed, so you know his sophistication.
You know, ordinary officers like to play with the nurses in field hospitals. They like to touch the little hands of the nurses while they are giving them injections, talk flirtatiously, seduce them, and then drag them to bed half-pushed and half-pushed. Kobayashi Asaburo is the tallest one in the world.
Here, he has long seen through that the young nurses in the field hospital have been treated like trash by the military officers. They are almost like comfort women. They are extremely sexy and not new at all. Moreover, these young nurses have become old after a long time.
, knows how to take advantage of the opportunity to blackmail, and often makes some unreasonable demands to the officers while they are having fun, either asking for money, asking for her to be demobilized early and returning to Japan to reunite with her parents, and some even asking for ideas to help them improve their military rank. In short, it is troublesome.
The female soldiers of the communication team are very good. However, the female soldiers in the communication team usually stay in the communication equipment room. Not only are they highly educated, but they are also fair and tender. Moreover, due to the nature of their work involving secrets, ordinary officers have no chance to contact them, nor do they have any chance to contact them.
Dare to seduce them casually, ensuring that most of them are virgins. Even if they are not virgins, they are relatively pure than those little nurses, at least not as broken as them.
There is another advantage, of course, this advantage makes Asaburo Kobayashi ashamed to talk about it. That is, most of the female soldiers in the communication team are female students and have not experienced the world. Once they are chosen by him, they are all shy and refuse.
He looks like he would never think of making any demands to himself, let alone such vulgar and life-threatening demands as asking for money. This is very important. If you come to China to work, you will be risking your life. Is it easy to make money? How can you do that?
Should we give the money to those little girls? Or should we remit the money back to Japan so that our sons and daughters can receive the best education?
Asaburo Kobayashi's vision was really accurate. The female soldier the guard found for him was Raiko Hukou, the most beautiful girl in the communications team. She was 1.56 meters tall, had fair skin, and wore a pair of glasses. She looked elegant and graceful.
Delicate. When Kobayashi Asaburo ordered her to take off her clothes, the little girl lowered her head shyly, rubbed her hands and said nothing...
Extreme joy brings sorrow. In his sweet dream, Asaburo Kobayashi was taught by the staff on duty and came to the war room.
After reading the telegram from the 108th Division, Kobayashi Asaburo did not hesitate at all. He ordered the staff on duty to wake up the commander immediately and asked him to come to the war room as soon as possible. He picked up the phone and said, "Moxi, Moxi."
He called out and asked for a switchboard to pick up the 108th Division headquarters. He wanted to speak directly to Lieutenant General Shimomoto Xiongmi.
Not bad, the call was connected. When he heard the voice of Lieutenant General Shimomoto Kumaya on the phone, Major General Kobayashi Asaburo couldn't help but said secretly: "Bless me, God Amaterasu, I hope things are not the same."
