Liu Yimin said: Strategically despise the enemy, and tactically attach importance to the enemy. Paying attention to the enemy should be reflected in the guiding ideology of combat command and specific deployment, and the premise is to study the enemy. The premise of studying the enemy is to master the enemy's situation. The purpose of mastering the enemy's situation is to know ourselves and the enemy, and avoid danger.
Open up the enemy's attack edge, save yourself, and destroy the enemy.
Liu Yimin said: If the enemy does not move, I will not move. If the enemy moves, I will move first. The essence of the enemy's first deployment is to be ready before the enemy launches an attack, attack the enemy's weak parts, and hit the snake seven inches.
During this period, the Japanese base camp changed generals. Prime Minister Sugimoto Sugimoto succeeded Juichi Terauchi as the commander of the North China Front. Commander Shunroku Hata of the Central China Front returned to Japan to serve as Prime Minister, and Juichi Terauchi returned to Japan to serve as military counselor.
The Military Councilor is a cold-shoulder. Normally Juichi Terauchi would not be willing to take up this role. But it is different now. He can't wait to leave North China and return to China. However, Shan Shanyuan single-handedly directed the war of aggression against China when Prime Minister Lu was appointed, just because he wanted to take office in Peking.
, we also have to hand over the work clearly.
Chu. Coupled with Konoe Fumima's change of China policy and his focus on luring Wang Jingwei to surrender, the Japanese base camp was in a state of panic. Sometimes they were worried that Wang Jingwei would trick them, and sometimes they were worried that Wang Jingwei would not be able to escape, making everyone look like a red-eyed gambler on a gambling table.
Disciple, waiting with fear for the last card.
Now, Wang Jingwei has escaped to Hanoi, and everyone in the Japanese base camp is filled with joy. Everyone, including Emperor Hirohito, is celebrating. They all feel that the second step of the plan should be implemented immediately: to lure Chiang Kai-shek and his National Government to surrender.
At this time, Liu Yimin made a speech, which suddenly drove Wang Jingwei, who had fled to Hanoi, into an ice cave from the joy of his successful escape.
Wang Jingwei never expected that Liu Yimin, whom he had never met before, would list him as the number one traitor and his wife as the number one female traitor, and would even offer a reward for his head all over the world. Listen to how vicious Liu Yimin said, asking him to sleep
There is no nest, no pot to eat, and I am as panic-stricken as a bereaved dog.
Wang Jingwei knew that with the issuance of wanted orders and reward orders from the Nationalist Government, his personal safety had become a problem. Hanoi was not a place to stay for a long time, and he had to leave quickly and go to the Japanese sphere of influence. Otherwise, everyone who eats would be
It may not be saved.
Wang Jingwei ordered Gao Zongwu and Mei Siping to contact Japan as soon as possible to go to Hong Kong. He also pointed out that they were not familiar with the Japanese Consul General in Hong Kong and asked Japan to change the Consul General in Hong Kong and take them out of Hanoi as soon as possible.
Uneasy after thinking about it, Wang Jingwei openly asked the Japanese army to bomb Chongqing and Jinan on a large scale. It would be best to completely eliminate the Eighth Route Army instructors and kill the troublesome Liu Yimin.
Not only Wang Jingwei, but also Pu Yi, De Wang, Wang Kemin, Qi Kuiyuan, Liang Hongzhi and other top traitors all fell into the ice cave.
Among these people, the most angry one was the Emperor of Manchukuo, Puyi. Liu Yimin even said in a contemptuous tone that he was an impotence patient during the conversation. How could he hold his head up in front of his subjects?
Puyi became so angry that he summoned the imperial concubine at night and tried to prove Liu Yimin's lies. As a result, he was still too weak to do anything. Puyi was so angry that he told the Japanese consultant around him the next day that Liu Yimin was too arrogant.
All friends who support the goodwill between Japan and Manchukuo are frightened and cannot eat or sleep well. If things continue like this, Manchukuo will inevitably be unable to hold its head high in front of the world. The Japanese Empire has a strong military, so why can't it be eliminated?
What about him?
The Japanese consultant originally regarded Puyi as a plaything in his hand and never took him seriously. As soon as Puyi said it, he immediately thought of Liu Yimin's conversation about Puyi being an impotence patient, and knew which nerve in Puyi was hurting. This
The guy immediately comforted Pu Yi, saying that the Japanese Army would definitely eliminate Liu Yimin, and repeatedly promised to send troops to the Kwantung Army as soon as possible.
The Commander, the Ambassador of the Empire of Japan to Manchukuo, and the General Counsel reported to His Majesty the Emperor to send more troops to defeat the Eighth Route Army in Shandong in one fell swoop. At the same time, this guy had a ulterior motive to ask whether His Majesty the Emperor of Manchukuo could select from among the royal family.
The best Princess received training from the Kwantung Army's secret service and went to Shandong to assassinate Liu Yimin.
When the Japanese consultant said this, Puyi immediately thought of Aixinjueluo Xianjue, the fourteenth princess of Prince Su who was shot at a public trial by Liu Yimin's troops. He became even more angry and immediately agreed, saying that he could select three people at the same time.
The princesses of the royal family were handed over to the Kwantung Army for training, and they were asked to assassinate Liu Yimin and avenge the fourteen princesses.
It was under such circumstances that General Shan Shanyuan came to Peiping to take office.
Since his return to North China, Juichi Terauchi has been carefully planning to launch a heavy encirclement and suppression of Shandong. Therefore, the old Japanese is very busy replenishing troops for various units and raising ammunition and baggage for Manchukuo from Japan and Manchukuo.
Lehu. Unfortunately, the Battle of Wuhan has just ended
, the troops participating in the Wuhan Battle suffered heavy losses and were in urgent need of replenishment and rest. In addition, they occupied such a large area and required a large number of troops to garrison. How could more troops be mobilized in a short while? With the existing troops, the temple
Shouyi was not sure of victory and did not dare to act rashly.
Temple Shouichi had a relatively thorough understanding of Liu Yimin's combat characteristics. Because of his understanding, he became more and more cautious. Because the plane reconnaissance every day did not find any trace of the main force of Liu Yimin's instructor. Temple Shouichi knew that Liu Yimin's main force must also be there.
Resting in hiding, staring at him with eyes like a hungry wolf, ready to pounce and bite him at any time.
Just when Terauchi Shouichi was thinking about how to find Liu Yimin's main force and give him a sea, land and air battle, news came from the base camp that he had been dismissed as the commander of the North China Front and the land minister Sugimoto Sugimoto was transferred to take over. Terauchi Shouichi's heart
It was put into the stomach immediately.
In a happy mood, Juichi Terauchi ordered all units to strictly guard their defensive positions and wait for the arrival of the new commander to make new arrangements before conducting combat operations. Next, Juichi Terauchi took Miss Masako and began to wander around the city of Beiping, searching frantically.
money and prepare to return to Japan.
After waiting and waiting for Sugimoto to take office, Touichi Terauchi was afraid that something would happen again, so he kept sending reports to Emperor Hirohito and Prince Kanin Miyazaihito, saying that he had hemorrhoids and that he had to return to Japan for treatment as soon as possible. Please ask His Majesty the Emperor.
and the Chief of General Staff urged General Shan Shanyuan to take office as soon as possible.
After repeated calls, Shan Shanyuan finally arrived. Terauchi Juichi was overjoyed and went to the airport to greet Shan Shanyuan. After returning to the headquarters, he introduced the enemy situation to Shan Shanyuan in detail, and then ignored Shan Shanyuan's repeated attempts.
To persuade him to stay, he took Miss Masako and the plundered money and flew back to Tokyo on a plane called the cultural relics.
After the new commander of the North China Front, General Shan Shanyuan, took office, he spent two days getting familiar with the situation. Then he inspected various units, running from De County to Xuzhou, and then to Qingdao and Shanxi.
After inspecting the troops, Shan Shanyuan realized that what Terauichi Juichi had left him was a mess. Not to mention the three divisions of the Kwantung Army, all supplies were provided by Manchukuo, with sufficient ammunition, food and grass. All units of the North China Front Army
That won’t work. The First Army, the Twelfth Army and the Fang
The supply problem of the troops directly under the direct control of the front army is huge, and it basically cannot meet the needs of continuous operations. What disturbs him most is that the Eighth Route Army has a large number of sharpshooters who are elusive and specialize in attacking the officers and machine gunners, gunners, grassroots officers and technicians of each unit.
There is a huge shortage of personnel in the military services.
Shan Shanyuan couldn't sit still, and while urging Chief of Staff Yamashita Tomofumi to formulate a combat plan, he kept sending reports to the base camp, requesting urgent replenishment of grassroots officers, ammunition, and supplies of food and grass to ensure the combat needs of the troops.
Shanshan Yuan appears to be a guy who has no independent opinions and follows everyone else's opinions, but in fact he is extremely cruel and most of the major strategic plans of the Japanese army are made by him.
Sugimoto was very dissatisfied with losing the post of Prime Minister. He knew that because of the failure of the quick-war strategy, the Emperor and Prime Minister Konoe were annoying him and kicked him out of the central organization. But he knew that this was nothing. The cabinet
It can collapse at any time, but
His power in the army will not be eliminated in a short while. Since he has been appointed as the commander of the North China Front, he can show off his power and let His Majesty the Emperor and the little Konoe see what Shanshan Yuan is doing.
Defeat the Eighth Route Army.
After all, Shan Shanyuan was the commander-in-chief of the North China Front after Prime Minister Lu resigned from office. The base camp did not want to embarrass him and tried its best to meet his demands. It transferred the Sixth Division and the Sixteenth Division to the North China Front and transferred the Guards Division to the North China Front.
To supplement the transfer of the Guards independent mixed brigade
After the formation of the Fifth Division, a chariot brigade was pieced together. These three divisions and the chariot brigade were shipped to Qingdao and merged with the Fifth Division. At this time, Shan Shanyuan no longer dared to launch a major attack.
If he wanted to attack on a large scale, he would not be worthy of being a general of the Japanese army.
In fact, if Shan Shanyuan does not launch an attack, he will lose the opportunity. This is because the commander of the Kwantung Army, Ueda Kenkichi, has been nagging, asking the three main divisions of the Kwantung Army to return to the army as soon as possible to take on the task of preparing for war against the Soviet Union.
On January 16, Shan Shanyuan convened a military meeting of the North China Front in Peiping.
When Shan Shanyuan walked into the venue, both rows of senior Japanese military officers around the conference table stood up and saluted.
After Shan Shanyuan motioned the officers to sit down, he began to say: "Gentlemen: I have been ordered to serve as the commander of the North China Front Army and command all the troops in North China to fight. Please take care of me." After saying this, he bowed deeply.
Participating in the meeting were Lieutenant General Yamashita Tobumi, Chief of Staff of the North China Front, Major General Akira Muto, Deputy Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General Seiichi Kita, Chief of the Secret Service, Lieutenant General Umezu Yoshijiro, Commander of the First Army, and Lieutenant General Sadugu Iida, Commander of the Twelfth Army.
When the senior generals also hurriedly bent down and bowed, a chorus of "Please take care of me" was heard in the venue.
After the greetings, Shan Shanyuan said seriously: "At the beginning of the war, I proposed to destroy China in three months. This goal was originally achievable, but it has not been achieved so far. Analyzing the reason, the main reason is that we ignored the Eighth Route Army of the Communist Party of China
Armed force. I think all of you must have a deep understanding of this."
No one among the Japanese officers who participated in the meeting spoke, and the meeting place was quiet.
These officers all know that Shanshan Yuan, like Juichi Terauchi, is a giant in the Japanese army. He may return to the base camp to take charge of the center at any time. For such a commander who may affect the life of his army, it is better to obey and execute.
The more, the worse.
Shan Shanyuan didn't wait for applause or answers, and was surprised in his heart. He couldn't help but glance at the faces of the division commanders, and saw that each of these guys had their eyes lowered, and they were listening to his instructions honestly.
Thinking that he had hit the nail on the head, he continued: "At present, the Chinese army in North China is mainly divided into four parts, namely, the Eighth Route Army, the Shanxi-Sui Army, the Central Army in the Zhongtiao Mountain area, and the Northern Henan area.
of the miscellaneous armies. Among them, the Eighth Route Army is the most powerful, has the strongest will to fight, is the most active, and has caused the greatest losses to the Empire of Japan. North China is the base of the Greater East Asia Jihad. If the Communist Eighth Route Army is allowed to develop here, it will have no impact on the Greater East Asia Jihad.
It is greatly disadvantageous. For this reason, the front army decided to carry out a public security war in North China to completely eliminate the main force of the Chinese army in this area and restore public security in North China."
After Shan Shanyuan finished speaking, he motioned the officers to sit down and asked Chief of Staff Yamashita Fengfumi to make specific combat arrangements.
Yamashita Fengwen stood up, walked to the map, gave a brief introduction to the battlefield situation in North China, and then said: "In this North China security battle, the primary issue is to solve the problem of the Eighth Route Army instructors in Shandong. To this end, the front army concentrated the main force in North China, consisting of
Qingdao, Xuzhou, and Dexian launched a centripetal attack on Jinan from three directions. The goal of the operation was to find and annihilate the main force of Liu Yimin's instructors and to open up Jiaoji Road and
Jinpu Road to restore public security in Shandong. Because only by restoring public security in Shandong can the coal, iron ore, and copper ore there be continuously transported back to the mainland. In order to complete the combat mission, the front army decided to appoint the commander of the First Division, Gangbu
Lieutenant General Naozaburo commanded the Kwantung Army's 1st Division, 2nd Division, 23rd Division and four garrison divisions to form the Northern Front Group, with De County as the starting base for the attack.
An attack was launched in the direction of Jinan, attracting the main force of Liu Yimin's teaching division to fight with us. The headquarters of the 12th Army moved to Xuzhou and commanded the 14th Division, the 35th Division, and the 114th Division, forming an independent 13th Division.
The division and the Xuzhou front-line troops of the Manchurian National Defense Force formed a southern attack group, attacking from south to north to contain the main force of Liu Yimin's department. The real trump card of our army is the Fifth Division located in Qingdao.
The Sixth Division, the Sixteenth Division, the Guards Division and the Chariot Brigade. Due to the secrets of the Guards Division and the Sixth Division, the Sixteenth Division and the Chariot Brigade were secretly transported to Qingdao, and the Eighth Route Army
It was impossible to guard against this powerful assault force, so it was decided to form an eastern group under the command of Lieutenant General Inaba Shiro, commander of the Sixth Division, and advance toward Jinan along the Jiaoji Road to encircle the main force of the Eighth Route Army's teaching division in the Jinan area."
When Yamashita Fengfumi said this, he felt proud, his voice raised an octave, and he almost shouted: "In this battle, the Japanese Army concentrated fourteen elite divisions, a tank brigade, and an independent mixed brigade.
regiment and 25,000 Manchurian Defense Forces, with a total strength of 360,000, and with the support of the combined fleet and aviation, the Eighth Route Army is no match for us at all, and victory is certain!"
Shan Shanyuan felt proud and glanced at the officers majestically again, signaling Yamashita Fengfumi to continue speaking.
After Yamashita Fengwen finished shouting, his face turned red and he was extremely excited. Seeing Shanshan Yuan motioning for him to continue speaking, Yamashita Fengwen spoke again: "In order to cooperate with the operations in Shandong, the First Army commanded the 20th Division.
09th Division, 25th Division, 26th Division and garrison
Shanxi's independent mixed brigade launched an active attack on the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi, completely separating the Shanxi Eighth Route Army from the Shandong Eighth Route Army, preventing them from responding to each other and covering Shandong operations. The Eastern Henan Army, the Northern Henan Army, the Southern Shandong Army, and Pinghan
The front-line troops must face the enemy
The enemy launched an offensive operation to cover the true intention of the Shandong operation. The specific order of operations was: the Shanxi garrison launched the attack first, attacking only the Eighth Route Army and not the Shanxi-Sui Army and the Central Army. They concentrated their forces and carried out divisional clearing to drive the main force of the Eighth Route Army into the mountainous areas.
Then there is the eastern Henan team, and the northern Henan team
The troops launched an attack on the Kuomintang troops facing them, followed by the Pinghan-Han line troops, and the southwestern Shandong troops launched a mopping-up operation against the Eighth Route Army's base areas in southern Hebei and southwestern Shandong. The entire North China was to be turned into a war-torn situation, making it difficult for the Eighth Route Army to judge our situation.
The army’s key attack direction.”
Next, Yamashita Fengwen said: "Because Liu Yimin's troops are huge in strength and good at long-distance raids and ambushes, each offensive force must reasonably allocate troops and expand the scope of search and investigation so as not to give the Eighth Route Army an opportunity. Front Army spy planes
Guan wanted to learn from the Eighth Route Army, activate all propaganda machines, create true and false news, sow discord between the Kuomintang army, the Eighth Route Army, and the Shanxi-Sui Army, making them suspicious of each other and not supporting each other. Especially against Liu Yimin's department, he wanted to fabricate his
The news that they reorganized the local armed forces of the Kuomintang and annexed the local political power of the Kuomintang portrayed Liu Yimin as a warlord who wanted to achieve independence. Not only did the Kuomintang doubt him, but the Communist Party also doubted him, making him anxious and unable to concentrate on thinking about the war. Your Excellency, Commander
Special instructions were given to adopt comprehensive tactics against Liu Yimin, sending senior agents to approach him, assassinate him, and at the same time create public opinion. It was said that the commander of the North China Front had sent a plenipotentiary representative to negotiate with Liu Yimin.
Substantial progress has been made, and the two sides have initially reached a consensus on the status of Shandong. That is, Liu Yimin's Ministry shall not cross the Longhai Line to develop southward, nor may it cross the Canal to develop westward. The Empire of Japan will provide one billion yen to support Shandong
Construction. If necessary, it can be said that Liu Yimin met a Japanese royal princess in Jinan and fell in love at first sight. He is in the conflict between national justice and personal feelings. He can also fabricate rumors about Liu Yimin's women. One of his women is not
Is she an American student? We can say that this woman joined the Japanese secret service when she was in the United States. Everything she did in the United States was to win the trust of the Communist Party. The reason why we successfully intercepted Liu Yimin's plane last time was because of the intelligence she provided
.In short, regardless of whether others believe it or not, we only need to create rumors and false information, and the amount must be large, and the radio station must broadcast it non-stop to confuse Liu Yimin’s thinking and make him confused about the combat intentions of the front army.”
When Yamashita Fengwen said this, the Japanese generals all opened their eyes in surprise. Commander Shan Shanyuan looked very tired, but he was really rich. He could even use such dirty tricks.
