Odaka Kamezo's words made Asaburo Kobayashi look at him with admiration.
When he went to make a phone call, Asaburo Kobayashi thought to himself, it turns out that the commander, who is known as the brave general, is also rough and fine, and he showed his grace as an army commander at a critical moment. He should report to the North China Front Army Headquarters and Central China
Dispatch the army headquarters to report that they have completed
He actually has the overall situation and a lot of information, and may have a more accurate judgment on the movements of the Shandong Eighth Route Army. Besides, if you don't report it, who will bear the responsibility if something big happens in the future? Can the commander who just took office be allowed to
Are you going to have a caesarean section with yourself to apologize?
The reckless commander learned the lesson, and Chief of Staff Kobayashi Asaburo naturally became more sophisticated. This time, Kobayashi Asaburo not only sent a telegram to the North China Front Army Headquarters and the Central China Expedition Army Headquarters, but also specifically stated this when making the phone call.
Xia Yuan Xiong Mi, this stupid and decrepit pig, must be given to the commanders of the 108th Division.
The officer directly called the officer to find out the enemy's situation. At this point, Asaburo Kobayashi was still uneasy and ordered the staff on duty to call the 33rd Division, Qingdao Garrison, Jinan Garrison, Xuzhou, Yanzhou, Tai'an, Taixi, Luxi, and Jilu
The troops stationed in various areas on the border called and asked them to be on high alert and guard against Tuba Road attacks, and to report immediately any signs of trouble.
When they returned to the war room, the military police commander and the pseudo-Shandong Police Department Chief Zhang Yadong had already been called into the office.
Although Otaka Kamezo is much more awake now and his decision-making is quite satisfactory, he has a difficult nature. When Kobayashi Asaburo came in, Otaka Kamezo was reprimanding Zhang Yadong, saying that he was as timid as a mouse and was only suitable for detective work, not for investigation.
Work. The Police Department is responsible for the security of the province, but it knows nothing about the movements of the Eighth Route Army. The imperial army's passive combat operations are directly related to Zhang Yadong's Police Department and Tang Yangdu's Shandong Guard.
Odaka Kamezo warned Zhang Yadong that if he did not want to make progress, he would be sent to Colonel Ohashi Kumao's secret service agency to receive education, and Colonel Ohashi Kumao would teach him how to do intelligence collection work.
It wasn't until Zhang Yadong was scolded that he lowered his head, bent down and yelled "Hai" vigorously, causing urine to flow down his thighs, making the whole room smell like urine. Only then did Ougao Kamezo wave his hand and tell him to go back.
Jinan carried out a large-scale sweep to arrest all hidden anti-Japanese elements.
After Zhang Yadong left, Odaka Kamezo felt that there was no use for the gendarmerie commander to stay here. These gendarmerie enforced military discipline and interrogated anti-Japanese elements, but when it came to fighting, they could not play much role. The gendarmerie commander also knew very well.
He has already seen that Odaka Kamezo and Kobayashi Asaburo
They were all a little panicked. There would definitely be no good fruits left here. Gao Guizang saw that he was a little impatient, so he quickly reported that the military police in Jiao County, Gaomi, Anqiu, Linqu, and Boshan could not be contacted.
Then he tucked his tail between his legs and ran away amidst the scolding of the high-tailed turtle hiding in the eight-square tooth road.
Now there are only three people, Odaka Kamezo, Kobayashi Asaburo, and Ohashi Kumao left in the war room. It is very quiet, except for the ticking of the clock in the corner of the room, which is disturbing.
Odaka Kamezou felt hot all over his body, and regardless of whether the late-night wind in November might catch a cold, he stood up, opened the window, and unbuttoned the lieutenant general's uniform, letting the cold wind flow directly into his chest.
Fill.
The effect was really good. A gust of wind blew, and Ogao Kamezo felt much cooler, more comfortable, and much more awake.
Looking at the dark night outside the window, Odaka Kamezo felt that the Eighth Route Army was just like the deep night, unfathomable. Amaterasu, please show your spirit and tell me what these Eighth Route Army are going to do!
Amaterasu did not respond, but the phone call from Shimomoto Kumiya and the telegrams from Hata Shunroku and Okabe Naosaburo arrived.
Shimomoto Kumiya told Odaka Kamezo in frustration on the phone that the 105th Regiment had called the remaining troops in Anqiu. The person who answered the phone spoke Japanese with a fluent Hirosaki accent, but the 105th Regiment
The commander of the wing, Colonel Kudo Jintaka, insisted that this person was definitely not the left-behind squad leader of Kondo's squadron, because the squad leader was his nephew, and the person who answered the phone did not know this relationship. Moreover, through the commander's special password and
Kondo Dai
The captain and the Jiaoji Road Guard Gaomi Station and Jiaoxian Station could not be contacted. This means that the original report from the Jiaoji Road Guard Gaomi Station that everything was normal was false, and Anqiu County was 100% in the hands of the Eighth Route Army. However, he personally gave
The garrisons in Zhangqiu, Linzi, Zhangdian, Yidu, and Changle called. The people who answered the phone in these places were the brigade commander, regimental commander, and battalion commander of the 108th Division, who confirmed that the Eighth Route Army had not attacked here yet.
Odaka Kamezo was upset after hearing this. He hung up the phone before Moto Kumaya finished speaking, picked up Hata Shunroku's telegram and read it.
Shunroku Hata was probably woken up from his sleep. His anger could be seen in the lines of the telegram: "Lieutenant General Odaka Kamezo, Commander of the Twelfth Army: The Wuhan offensive is coming to an end. Please keep an eye on your backyard. In Wuhan
Before the end of the strategy battle and the Guangzhou strategy battle, do not engage in any Jiaoji Road mopping up operations.
, just stick to the communication lines and ensure the supply of the army. When the Wuhan offensive is over, it will not be too late for you to mobilize troops to clear out the remaining resistance forces in Shandong. The top priority is to dispatch aircraft for cover after dawn. The 108th Division and the 33rd Division must be mobilized.
Division, retake Gaomi and Jiaoxian stations and ensure the smooth flow of Jiaoji Road."
To be angry, Shunroku Hata was, after all, a strategic commander-in-chief of the Japanese army and had a clear understanding of the war situation. What he said next was very pertinent: "Although the Wuhan offensive was progressing smoothly, Chiang Kai-shek's troops fought tenaciously and resisted step by step.
Often seize the opportunity to launch
Counterattack. Our army suffered heavy losses on the front line in Wuhan, and has not been able to fully annihilate a single Chinese division. On the other hand, China's army, due to its strategic depth, is trained and replenished quickly. It is extremely worrying and infuriating that the number of troops it had before the war is still the same now.
Also: China Eighth Route Army Liu
The Yimin Instructor claims to be on the front line of Wuhan, but so far, our army has arrived at the outskirts of Wuhan, and the unit number has not yet been found. Although it is not ruled out that the enemy may repeat his old tricks, disguise other Chinese troops to fight with our army, or hide in Wuhan
Waiting for me to fight in the city
, but after all, no trace of the enemy has been found yet. Please pay attention to the Twelfth Army and order all units to be more vigilant to prevent the enemy from suddenly scurrying back to Shandong. If this happens, all units should be strictly ordered to shrink their defense lines and hold on to the danger. Never do this.
Act rashly and fall into the enemy's tricks."
After reading Shunroku Hata's telegram, Otaka Kamezo's heart moved. Could it be that General Hata Shunroku had guessed what Liu Yimin said and that Liu Yimin's force had quietly slipped back to Shandong?
While thinking about it, I read the telegram from Naosaburo Okabe, Chief of Staff of the North China Front.
Naosaburo Gangbe is now the person in the North China Front Army command who has dealt with the Eighth Route Army the longest and has the deepest experience. His telegram was more direct and clear: "Based on the combat characteristics of Liu Yimin's instructor, it is suspected that the Eighth Route Army captured Jiao County, Gaomi
, Anqiu, Linqu, and Boshan's actions are the prelude to the war that the ministry is about to launch. Various
There are signs that the abnormal reaction of the two troops in Gaomi and the collective destruction of Kondo's brigade should all be attributed to Liu Yimin's force. Only Liu Yimin's instructor in China could wipe out a field brigade of the Imperial Army in an instant, and only Liu Yimin could do so.
The instructors are most accustomed to using this sneak attack tactic. Only Liu Yimin’s subordinates are skilled
Rui's small team was able to sneak into Gaomi County unnoticed under the vigilant eyes of the imperial army's sentries. The Twelfth Army should immediately cancel the Jiaoji Road mopping up plan. The top priority should be to immediately order the 108th Division to march towards the railway line.
Concentrate, build strong fortifications, and wait for help; order Jinan, Qingdao, and Xuzhou airports to dispatch their units early tomorrow morning
We have aircraft to conduct reconnaissance in turns to cover the 33rd Division's approach to the 108th Division. The two divisions must establish a solid line of defense connected to each other and hold on with determination to the death, waiting for reinforcements. They must not move towards Jinan or Qingdao.
, the Eighth Route Army instructors must have made arrangements, and may very well take advantage of the two divisions' hurried transfer to launch a lightning strike."
At the end of the telegram, Naosaburo Okabe told Kamizo Takao: "Please conscientiously study the prohibition on fighting against the Eighth Route Army instructors issued by General Juichi Terauchi, and strictly guard against it to ensure the safety of the 108th Division and the 33rd Division."
After reading the telegram, Odaka Kamezo broke into a cold sweat. It seemed that the 12th Army he had just formed was facing great danger. Judging from the meaning of the telegram from the Chief of Staff of the Post Office, this Eighth Route Army was directed at the 108th Division.
They came, and they wanted to devour the 108th Division and the 33rd Division in one go. Do they have such a good appetite? When did the Chinese army become so rampant and dared to attack the Imperial Army?
The idea of a division.
Looking at the stunned Odaka Kamezo, Kobayashi Asaburo also cast his gaze towards the night sky outside the window, his voice seemed to float from the deep night sky: "Your Excellency, Commander, seriously, the 108th Division and the 33rd
The combat effectiveness of all the divisions combined is not as powerful as that of the Eighth Division or the Tenth Division!"
This statement made Gao Gaogui Zang wake up from a dream. Yes, it doesn't matter whether we carry out the Jiaoji Road mopping up operations or not, but what if it is really the main force of instructor Liu Yimin who returned to Shandong and targeted the Jiaoji Road
If the 108th Division and the 33rd Division are separated, the problem will be serious. Regardless of these two divisions,
What is the combat effectiveness of the regiment? Are they two divisions after all? If they really have a collective crush like the 8th Division or the 10th Division, not to mention the generals, marshals, land ministers, and chiefs of staff,
I'm afraid that even if my military career is over, I might have to have a caesarean section to apologize. That would be completely over!
Completely awakened, Ogao Guizang picked up the phone and directly called the troops of the 108th Division stationed in Zhangqiu, Linzi, Zhangdian, Yidu, and Changle to confirm that Yuan Xiongmi was right and that the Eighth Route Army was indeed
Before the attack reached here, Ogao Kamezo gave the commander of the 108th Division a shot.
Lieutenant General Moto Kumaya and Lieutenant General Amakasu Jutaro, commander of the 33rd Division, called and ordered them to be more vigilant, shrink their troops, move closer to each other, and establish a line of defense to guard against sneak attacks by the Eighth Route Army. They ordered the aviation force to dispatch early tomorrow morning to cover the 33rd Division.
The regiment moved closer to the 108th Division.
Considering that the Eighth Route Army might really make a desperate move and launch a war as Lieutenant General Naosaburo Gangbe said, Odaka Kamezo issued an order to order the troops stationed in Xuzhou, Yanzhou, Tai'an, Taixi, southwestern Shandong, western Shandong, and Hebei to mobilize immediately.
Be ready for war. Order Qingdao and Weihai garrison troops and marines to mobilize immediately to guard against sneak attacks by the Eighth Route Army.
After issuing the order, Otaka Kamezo asked Kobayashi Asaburo to immediately notify Jinan Airport and send a plane to take him to Weixian early tomorrow morning. However, Otaka Kamezo changed the plan. He would no longer airborne, and asked Shimomoto Kumiya to prepare.
His plane will land at Weixian Ershilipu Airport.
After handling these matters, Otaka Kamezo did not go back to the bedroom, but rested on the camp bed in the war room, waiting for departure at dawn. He wanted to personally command the 108th Division and the 33rd Division to fight, and put these two
A division was rescued.
Otaka Kamezo was not at ease with those two old men, Shimomoto Kumaya and Amakasu Jutaro. He believed in an old Chinese saying, one soldier is a raging soldier, and a general is raging in a nest. He believed that as long as he left, the 108th Division and the 30th Infantry Division would be destroyed.
The Third Division will be like its old unit, the 19th Division of the North Korean Army, and become an elite charge. It will not only be able to resist possible attacks from the Eighth Route Army, it will also be able to recapture Jiaoxian and Gaomi counties and restore the smooth flow of the Jiaoji Railway.
Otaka Kamezo's plan was destined not to come true, because at this time, the Eighth Route Army Instructor, Secretary of the Shandong Bureau of the Communist Party of China, and Commander of the Shandong Military Region, Liu Yimin, had arrived at the headquarters of the 108th Division of the Japanese Army in Weixian County, and was smiling at the incredulous look on his face.
Where is Lieutenant General Shimomoto Xiongmi!
After receiving the telegram that Wang Laohu attacked Anqiu and Wang Dahu completely wiped out the Japanese Kondo Brigade, Liu Yimin was happy and surprised. What was pleasant was that Wang Laohu attacked Anqiu and opened the passage to Fangzi and Weixian. Our army
Can attack at any time
At the headquarters of the 108th Division of the Japanese Army in Weixian County, Wang Dahu led the main force of the First Regiment to fight bravely and fiercely. The Japanese army was completely destroyed before they had time to react, showing the power of the first main force of the First Regiment. What was surprising was that before Kondo's regiment was destroyed
He actually had time to blow up the radio station, so that the First Religion Group could not pretend to be Kondo Brigade and maintain contact with the Japanese army, which would immediately alert the Japanese army. Moreover, Wang Dahu should not have let the more than 20 militia soldiers return
Li Wenli Department. You must know that in history, Li Wenli was finally defeated and captured and became a traitor. Although Li Wenli himself was unwilling to become a traitor after being captured, it was his subordinates who persuaded him to become a traitor. However, Li Wenli's troops were complicated in composition.
It is an absolute historical fact that there are officials at the level of regimental commanders who have been exchanging tricks with the Japanese army for a long time. Some time ago, the main force of the Eighth Route Army went south to northern Jiangsu, and Li Wenli's Ministry was under great pressure. The Japanese spies must have already got in. Maybe the reason why he was able to
The reason why the current remnant defeated general has not been completely eliminated is because the Japanese secret service wanted to persuade him to surrender and deliberately retained some of his strength. The more than twenty militia soldiers who returned were all with Li Wenli
It's close to home. As soon as they report the situation, the Japanese spies will definitely know that the Eighth Route Army destroyed Kondo's brigade and did so cleanly. Once this information is passed back, the Japanese army will immediately determine that the main force of the Eighth Route Army's instructors has returned to Shandong. In this way
Come, the Japanese army is likely to be alert and will immediately gather its troops and hold on to the defense line. It will be difficult for me to launch a sudden attack and completely wipe out the Japanese 108th Division and the 33rd Division.
Of course, even if the Japanese army is alert and takes countermeasures, Liu Yimin will be sure to destroy the two Japanese divisions. However, in that case, the sneak attack will become a strong attack. After a battle, the casualties of the main force of the teaching division may not be what Liu Yimin can
Accept it. After all, everyone is made of flesh and blood. Anyone hit by a bullet will be injured and sacrificed. Although the 108th Division is a special division, it does not have a strong will to fight.
, but those soldiers are all well-trained veterans. When they are surrounded in field operations, they may think that it is important to escape for their lives during the attack, but if they stick to the danger, the combat effectiveness of the 108th Division may explode. You must know those old devils.
Their marksmanship is very good, and they can basically fire off a gunshot. If they were given a chance, and more than 20,000 people would shoot each one, the instructors would suffer heavy casualties.
After realizing these problems, Liu Yimin discussed with Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong, and the Japanese would definitely be alert soon. Because although the Twelfth Army had just been formed, the commander of the Twelfth Army, Odaka Kamezo, and the chief of staff, Kobayashi Asaburo, had also just arrived in Shandong.
I don’t know much about the instructor’s tactics, but Shimomoto Xiongmi, the commander of the 108th Division, has been stationed in Shandong.
Jinan witnessed the instructor's annihilation of the Japanese 21st Division, 8th Division, 10th Division and the independent mixed 3rd Brigade, 4th Brigade, 6th Brigade and other battles. He is an old fox.
The mentor has fought so many battles in Shandong and has not yet injured the 108th Division. If he gets wind of it, I am afraid that no matter what happens to the 12th Army
When given an order, he would shrink his troops and hold on to the fortified city. Moreover, Lieutenant General Okabe Naozaburo, Chief of Staff of the North China Front, was an old rival of the instructor. Whenever there was any disturbance, this guy would definitely be alert, and he would immediately think of him as the instructor.
The main force is launching an attack on Jiaoji Road, and the goal is to break away from the main force and disperse the garrison of the 108th
Division and the 33rd Division. In that case, the Battle of Jiaoji Road will last for a long time, and it is likely to lead to a situation where the fox cannot be eaten and the 33rd Division cannot be eliminated, that is, neither the 108th Division nor the 33rd Division can be eliminated.
The Thirty-third Division has once again exposed the combat intentions of the main force of the instructors, and may end up retreating with hatred in the end.
What Liu Yimin said is the truth. Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhongxin knew it well. The battle of Jiaoji Road was to seize the opportunity when the Japanese army was staring at Wuhan and Guangzhou from top to bottom, catch the Japanese army by surprise, and then use the main force to sweep them away like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
Shandong
, while the Japanese army was panicking and had no time to adjust their deployment, they eliminated or drove the scattered Japanese troops out of Shandong one by one. If the Japanese army discovered our army's intentions in advance and fought with me, if nothing else, the Japanese army's air superiority alone would cause losses to the troops.
heavy.
The warts on Cai Zhong's anxious brow were hopping and he couldn't sit still. He reminded Liu Yimin and Luo Ronghuan whether they should consider ordering the troops to advance overnight and encircle Zhangqiu, Linzi, Zhangdian, Yidu, and Changlezhi.
To defeat the enemy, carry out a strong attack and completely annihilate the enemy. However, after the suggestion was exported, it felt like nonsense.
, no matter how fast the troops are, they must be able to rush to the designated place. Several main brigades are lined up and deployed over such a long distance from Jiao County to Boshan. Even if the soldiers are exhausted, it is impossible.
When we rushed to Zhangqiu and Zhangdian, the nearest troops arrived. Everything would be in vain until the main force arrived.
Finally, Liu Yimin came up with a crazy idea, which was to go to Weixian, occupy the little Japanese's division headquarters, and take command for the little Japanese.
