After Tada Jun finished scolding Baga, his thoughts went to Princess Junmiya Hideko and Liu Yimin who were missing, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Among the generals of the Japanese army that invaded China, Shun Tada was considered a very insightful, capable, capable, and resourceful guy. As early as 1935, when he served as the commander of the North China garrison, this man clamored for the anti-Manchurian movement.
Anti-Japanese elements
Expelling North China and making the North China economic circle independent meant to separate North China from China. After the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, he belonged to the faction within the Japanese army that did not support the expansion of aggression. He advocated negotiating to make Chiang Kai-shek surrender, believing that expanding aggression against China would weaken the country.
Weakly prepared for war against the Soviet Union. Later, under the coercion of Prince Kanin Miya Zaihito and Sugisu Yuan, Tada Shun changed his mind and pissed into the same pot with the expansionist aggressive faction. However, in the Battle of Nomonkan, the 23rd Division
, the disastrous defeat of the 7th Division proved how
Tada Jun's idea was correct. For a while, some people even asked for Tada Jun to serve as the land minister in Abe Nobuyuki's cabinet, replacing Hata Shunroku. In the end, although Tada Shun was not regarded as the land minister, he was promoted and became the commander of the North China Front.
.
In Tada Shun's mind, he has always wanted to remove North China from China. Now that he has become the commander of the North China Front, commanding hundreds of thousands of troops, he has the conditions to directly organize and implement his own plan. However, North China is now
The situation is no longer what it was at the beginning of the war. The Eighth Route Army actually grew stronger during the War of Resistance and became the mainstay of the War of Resistance in North China. Especially
The instructor of the Eighth Route Army, Lien Chan Lianjie, controlled most of Shandong. He often aimed at wiping out Japanese division-sized troops. He defeated the little Japanese and lost their troops, which made him lose face in front of the whole world. Therefore, Tada Jun
The Eighth Route Army regarded Liu Yimin as a stumbling block that hindered his ability to separate North China from China, and implemented a cage policy specifically targeting the Eighth Route Army.
Tada Shun was distracted for a moment, and his mind was not only filled with the graceful figure of Princess Junmiya Hideko, nor was it only the image of Princess Junmiya Hideko enjoying Liu Yimin's crotch. Tada Jun was not a lewd person, and such thoughts could not last long.
He was thinking about how Liu Yimin first offered a reward to encourage the common people to rise up and kill the imperial army, and then offered a reward to encourage the emperor to rise up and kill the imperial army.
An army soldier shot an officer, and then a bounty was offered to encourage junior officers of the imperial army to shoot superior officers. Now they have come up with a "*** save ***". What if Princess Chun Gong Xiuzi falls into Liu Yimin's clutches?
What new tricks will he come up with! She is a real big *** royal princess, she has the ability to attract attention.
Tada Jun couldn't figure out how Liu Yimin would use Princess Junmiya Hideko to make a fuss, but he knew that once Liu Yimin wanted to use Princess Junmiya Hideko, it would be very vicious.
Tada Shun couldn't help but mutter to himself: "Liu Yimin, Baga! Dead, dead!"
As soon as the Commander finally spoke, Deputy Chief of Staff Masahiro Hirata quickly stood up and asked the Commander to have a quick meal. The food was already cold and would not taste good if heated.
Tada Shun finally came back to his senses. After thinking about it, Wang Kemin and Qi Kuiyuan were also present, and he couldn't let these two guys see what he was thinking. Then he said "Yes" and sat down to eat again.
This is equivalent to the third time the banquet has been held. It is too late and a few people dare not say more. They are afraid that if they accidentally say the wrong thing again, they will arouse the wrath of the Commander and the gods in the Five Zang Temple will starve.
.So, everyone just eats in silence.
After seeing off Wang Kemin and Qi Kuiyuan, Tada Shun went back to his room and lay down. He had something on his mind and couldn't sleep, so he simply turned on the light, picked up a Japanese army pictorial and flipped through it page by page. After reading for a while, he saw that it was full of
Photos of imperial soldiers bayoneting Chinese and killing Chinese women suddenly came to my mind. Is it possible to capture a high-ranking official of the Eighth Route Army and exchange them with Liu Yimin for Princess Chun Gong Hideko?
As soon as this idea came to mind, Tada Shun became excited. He couldn't stay in bed anymore, so he simply got out of bed, ran to the war room, and thought about the map.
After thinking for a while, Tada Shun gradually formed a plan in his mind, which was to select a group of elite soldiers who were willing to sacrifice their lives for the emperor, form a small force, led by officers with rich combat experience, and enter the Eighth Route Army base area in disguise, specifically to assassinate, poison, and serve the emperor.
The aviation force designated the target. Strive to destroy the Eighth Route Army headquarters and the Eighth Route Army division headquarters, and capture or kill Zhu De, Peng Dehuai and other senior Eighth Route Army generals alive.
Shun Tada gave this small unit a name, the "North China Stand-up Team."
Before Tada Shun could further ponder his plan, the phone in the war room came to mind. Tada Shun was excited. The phone was ringing in the middle of the night. Something must be up with him!
Sure enough, the combat staff officer was chattering and remembering. After a short time, he put down the phone, saluted Tada Shun and reported: "Report to your Excellency, Commander: Major General Nakagawa Hiroshi, Chief of Staff of the Ninth Division, reported that the Eighth Route Army Instructor Division stormed east of Longhai Road.
Duan Xin'an Town, Xin'an Town has been occupied. The commander of the 35th Infantry Regiment stationed in Xin'an Town, Colonel Fujii Sueyoshi, has lost contact. The Ninth Division requests urgent tactical guidance!"
The Ninth Division did not belong to the North China Front Army's organizational structure and was temporarily replacing the 114th Division's combat tasks. Therefore, they bypassed the 12th Army Headquarters and reported directly to the North China Front Army.
Tada Shun took the phone call and read through it, and immediately asked the staff officer on duty to send someone to inform Chief of Staff Yoshizumi Ryosuke and Deputy Chief of Staff Masaru Hirata to come to the war room and ask him to call Lieutenant General Higuchi Kiichiro. He wanted to personally inquire about the battle situation.
.
The Japanese army controlled Jinpu Road and the telephone lines were open.
The phone call will be connected soon. Higuchi Kiichiro, commander of the Ninth Division, said on the phone that he was not very clear about the specific battle situation. Fujii Sueyoshi reported for the first time that the Eighth Route Army was launching a large-scale attack and requested reinforcements. The second time
The report said that Xinan Town was lost and he was organizing troops to recapture it.
Xin'an Town. Considering that Xin'an Town is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the division judged that Fuji Sueyoshi must have transferred all his main forces to the defense line of *** ditch, allowing the Eighth Route Army to take advantage of the loophole. In order to prevent Fuji Sueyoshi's troops from being completely destroyed, the division ordered the
They broke out of the encirclement. Later, contact was lost.
Tada Shun asked if there were any new trends after the Eighth Route Army captured Xin'an Town?
Higuchi Kiichiro reported that there are no new developments.
Upon hearing this, Tada Shun understood that the Eighth Route Army was planning to use Xin'an Town to fish and attack the Ninth Division's reinforcements. He immediately ordered Higuchi Kiichiro not to send reinforcements to Xin'an Town for the time being.
Retake Xin'an Town.
Putting down the phone, Tada Jun murmured to himself: "Liu Yimin, are you going to perform on stage again?"
What Tada Shun didn't expect was that about an hour later, Higuchi Kiichiro called again, saying that the Eighth Route Army was launching a fierce attack on the east and west directions of Xin'an Town, and the small strongholds along Longhai Road could not resist it. Moreover, the Eighth Route Army was at sea.
The state also launched attacks from the east and west, requesting permission to shrink the defense line.
Shun Tada laughed angrily and scolded Higuchi Kiichiro for being a coward on the phone. When the dignified Ninth Division was attacked by Tubal Road, it did not think about how to fight back and eliminate the invading enemy. Instead, it asked to shrink its defense line. The Ninth Division
Are they still the elite of the Communist Army? If it is like this, how can we fight this battle? No retreat or contraction is allowed, and the troops are ordered to hold their positions and compete with the Eighth Route Army point by point!
Just after he put down the phone, before he could attend to the hurriedly arrived Yoshizumi Ryosuke and Hirata Shogun to introduce the battlefield situation, the staff officer on duty came in again to report that the 38th Division reported that the Eighth Route Army's Southern Shandong Army was storming Longhai Road.
Shun Tada remained alarmed and immediately ordered Deputy Chief of Staff Masahiro Hirata to notify the 12th Army stationed in Jinan, Shandong and the troops stationed in eastern Henan to immediately enter combat status to guard against sneak attacks by the Eighth Route Army.
After giving the order, Tada Jun did not sleep anymore. He sat down in front of the map and stared at Xinan Town. He wanted to figure out what Liu Yimin wanted to do.
At dawn, Tada Jun listened to the news release "Our Army Captures Xin'an Ancient Town" broadcast by Xi'an Xinhua News Agency that the Eighth Route Army occupied Xin'an Town.
The news that the Fifth Teaching Brigade successfully captured Xin'an Town was immediately reported to the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, and the Military Commission of Chongqing via the radio. Then, a press release written by Wang Pengju, the Propaganda Section Chief of the Political Department of the Teaching Division, "Our Army Captured Xin'an Ancient Town"
", flying in all directions through radio waves in the night.
Wang Pengju wrote this press release very well. He wrote it based on the battle report sent by the 5th Jiao Brigade. He wrote the entire battle as vividly as if he were there in person. Especially the 36th Regiment of the 18th Infantry Brigade of the 9th Infantry Division of the Japanese Army.
The scene when the captain of the team, Colonel Fujisueyoshi, was shot to death, was written with a stroke of genius:
"In the dark night, the torches on the battlefield looked extremely bright. The shouts of the Eighth Route Army soldiers came from all around with the wind, one wave higher than the other. The sound of the battle was more turbulent, more exciting and magnificent than the sound of the Qiantang Tide.
Colonel Fujii Sueyoshi, captain of the 36th Regiment of the 18th Infantry Brigade of the 9th Infantry Division of the Japanese Army, raised his command knife and stared at the Eighth Route Army soldiers coming up with horrified eyes. This man had participated in the Battle of Songhu and the capture of Nanjing.
The vanguard of the invasion of China never dreamed that he would be like a trapped animal, surrounded by our legions, and he would have no choice but to surrender.
Colonel Fujii Sueyoshi did not surrender in the end. Like many officers who had been influenced by Nazi fascist militarism, he stupidly raised his saber and howled at the guns of the Eighth Route Army. Waiting for him were bullets of justice.
A total of 50 rounds of bullets, filled with the hatred of the invaded Chinese people, were all shot into the head, chest, and abdomen of Colonel Fuji Sueyoshi, turning this aggressive maniac, murderer, murderer, and robber into a hornet's nest.
.
At the end of the battle, the reporter met General Liu Yimin, the instructor commander of the Eighth Route Army, on the roadside of Longhai. General Liu told the reporter that the significance of capturing Xinan Town was to cut off the Longhai Road. Our army could capture Haizhou and Lianyungang to the east and Xuzhou to the west.
, and then marched westward to Henan, encircled and annihilated the Japanese troops in eastern Henan, and recovered
Recruit Kaifeng and Zhengzhou; go south to the Jiangsu and Anhui areas, and even reach the Yangtze River, smash the Yangtze River defense line of the little devils, threaten Shanghai and Nanjing, and invade the Yangtze River waterway, sealing the enemy in Wuhan, and beating the dogs behind closed doors.
.In a word, the initiative on the battlefield is in the hands of our army, and the little devils are passively beaten everywhere.
The reporter asked Commander Liu if he wanted to pursue the victory and completely annihilate the Japanese Ninth Division?
Commander Liu replied: Young man, don't be impatient. You can't eat hot tofu if you are impatient. This is a military secret. I'm sorry I can't tell you. However, one thing I can tell you is that the Ninth Division is a permanent division of the Japanese army. It is well-equipped and has great combat effectiveness.
Strong. After eliminating the Ninth Division, our army can seize a number of tanks, armored vehicles, cars, rubber-tired carts, and a number of war horses. You may not know that the Ninth Division has more than 8,000 war horses.
Damn, that's a
That’s not a small number! Think about it, the Ninth Division, which is so well-equipped, has set up a long snake formation on Longhai Road. Isn’t this just to whet the appetite of the Eighth Route Army! This eastern section of Longhai Road is our old battlefield.
It’s also the old cemetery of little devils
, if the Ninth Division is completely wiped out by our army here, they will not be lonely in the underworld. There are so many ghosts of the 114th Division and the 106th Division accompanying them! They can be together.
*** Back to Tokyo.”
After reading the press release "Our Army Occupies Xin'an Town" written by Wang Pengju and translated by the Japanese military intelligence department, Tada Shun was confused. Could it be that Liu Yimin really arrived in Xin'an Town? What if it was really the main force of the Eighth Route Army's instructor division that attacked Xin'an Town?
, then there must be a bigger plot. Does Liu Yimin really want to eliminate the Ninth Division? If the Ninth Division is eliminated, Xuzhou and Lianyungang will become naked Yamato beauties lying in front of Liu Yimin, who can take them at will.
Yoshizumi Ryosuke is older and has done many bad things. But he does not think that what he has done is bad. Instead, he thinks that he is loyal to His Majesty the Emperor and has made meritorious deeds for the Greater East Asia Holy War!
In any case, Yoshizumi Ryosuke was once the division commander of the Ninth Division and had feelings for the old army. He was afraid that the Ninth Division would be humiliated, so he suggested that Shun Tada consider letting the Ninth Division take advantage of the daytime fighter plane cover to attack the enemy.
Xin'an Town carried out search and reconnaissance, and the main force was ready to return to Xuzhou and Lianyungang.
Yoshizumi Ryosuke wanted the Ninth Division to hide in Xuzhou City or Lianyungang and rely on strong fortifications to hold on to avoid being annihilated.
Masanori Hirata had a different idea. He believed that the Japanese aviation was dominated by the Japanese aviation during the day, and the Ninth Division should be ordered to concentrate its main force under the cover of aircraft to resolutely recapture Xin'an Town and restore the original battlefield situation.
The reason why Shogun Hirata dared to disagree with Chief of Staff Yoshizumi Ryosuke was that one was because Hirata was superstitious about the strength of the Japanese aviation force, and the other was that Shogun Hirata knew that Yoshizumi Ryosuke had caused national disaster by condoning the burning, killing, and looting of the troops.
International public opinion criticized him, and the Japanese base camp had to transfer him to the reserve. Although he is now the chief of staff, he will not last long. Because there are too many people who want to hold this position, someone must be thinking about how to oust Yoshizumi Ryosuke.
