That night, Shimen City was in full swing. Inside the North China Front Army Headquarters in Peiping City, everything was gloomy and gloomy.
Tada Shun finished his forceful display at the martial arts temple in the morning. After returning to the headquarters, he immediately ordered Yoshizumi Ryosuke and Hirata Shogun to contact the troops in southwestern Shandong to check whether they were carried out according to the deployment of the front army.
Lieutenant General Inaba Shiro, commander of the Sixth Division, reported that all units have received orders from the front, and that the 37th Division, 40th Division, 41st Division and North China Security Army units will be ready in the afternoon
The operation has been launched, and other ministries are gathering and assembling troops. It is expected that they will be able to separate and march towards southern Hebei early tomorrow morning.
Tada Shun ordered another telegram to Inaba Shiro, urging him to act as soon as possible.
In the afternoon, Tada Shun summoned Wang Kemin, first encouraged him, and then put pressure on Wang Kemin to increase his support for the puppet regimes at all levels in Shandong Province.
Tada Shun's tone sounded more sincere and sincere. He said that the situation in Shandong is very good now, and basically everything is under the control of the imperial army. Hebei and Shandong border, western Shandong, southwestern Shandong, southern Shandong plain, and southeastern Shandong plain,
The situation in Jiaodong, Shandong, Qinghe, and Jinan has been basically stable. Only parts of the Shandong Mountains, Jiaodong Mountains, and Jiaolai Mountains are still in the hands of the Eighth Route Army. However, the Imperial Army is doing its best to sweep away the dangers, and these areas will be pacified soon. The current problem
Yes, these areas were originally the base areas of the Eighth Route Army. All levels of political power established by the Imperial Army were completely eradicated by the Eighth Route Army. After the Imperial Army swept away the dàng, there was no local political power. The local security team quickly filled the gaps in the political power and public security system, which was equivalent to
Falling into anarchy. As time goes by, the Eighth Route Army will emerge from the tunnels and revive. In the previous stage, the imperial army recruited a group of urban gangsters from Peiping, Tianjin, Qingdao, and Xuzhou to cooperate with the imperial army in the raids in southern Shandong.
dàng, the effect is very good, but the level of this group of people is too low. They can only serve as special agents and cannot serve as government officials and staff at all levels. We must find ways to select more talents from the scholars in Peiping and Tianjin. The more the better.
Although Wang Kemin is a die-hard traitor, the number one traitor in North China, and is determined to follow others, he is not stupid. He doesn't believe Tada Shun's statement that the situation in Shandong is basically stable. The imperial army has been sweeping away the gang for so long, let alone arresting them.
When Liu Yimin arrived, he failed to capture even one of Liu Yimin's brigade commanders and regimental commanders. Instead, he lost the main force of a division at the junction of Dingtao and Caoxian County in southwest Shandong. This shows that the imperial army's heavy troop sweeps have been carried out until now.
, and did not damage Liu Yimin's main force. Maybe Liu Yimin is hiding in a dark corner at this moment, waiting for an opportunity to pounce on the imperial army and bite the imperial army hard!
Wang Kemin did not believe that the situation in Shandong was basically stable, but he hoped that the Japanese army would eliminate Liu Yimin's main force as soon as possible so that the situation in Shandong and even North China could truly stabilize. In that way, he could sleep peacefully. Therefore, Wang Kemin responded to Tada Shun's instructions.
Kemin supports it from the bottom of his heart and has repeatedly stated his stance and resolutely implements it.
Besides, Shun Tada is Wang Kemin’s master and backer. He can crush him to death with just a few fingers. How dare he not execute it?
After seeing off Wang Kemin, Tada Shun drove to the Peking Garrison for inspection again and had dinner at the Peking Garrison. This time, Tada Shun learned from Lieutenant General Okamura Neiji's approach and, together with the two commanders of the Peking Garrison,
Standing next to the cauldron, each person holding a long ladle served the soldiers food, which perfectly showed the image of a soldier in a shirt.
During the meal, Shun Tada did not forget to pick up food for the soldiers sitting together, and asked diligently where they were from, how old they were, and whether they missed home.
A fat soldier reported honestly that his family was from Hokkaido. His grandfather and father were both fishermen. During the harvest, one boat could catch thousands of catties of fish. He missed home, very much. But he was willing to join the army and come to North China, here.
There are flower girls, golden tickets, and he can satisfy his murderous addiction. However, he does not want to stay in the Peking Garrison. This is a big city with military discipline and cannot let go. He is willing to go to the field division.
There is a bounty for killing the Eighth Route Army, and there is a bounty for killing the Eighth Route Army. If you catch a high-ranking Eighth Route Army official, you will get a big gold ticket, and you can also free the female Eighth Route Army prisoners, which is much better than staying in the city of Peiping.
Tada Shun burst out laughing when he heard this. He patted the soldier on the shoulder and repeatedly praised him for his ambition. He deserves to be called a Yamato warrior. Work hard and you will have a bright future in combat, a big golden ticket, and a big flower girl!
After saying that, Shun Tada told the commander of the Peiping garrison beside him, asking him to help the soldier go through the formalities, and he could go to any field division he thought of.
A second lieutenant reported that the Commander was able to dine with the soldiers, which shows that the Commander attaches great importance to the Peking Garrison. He must lead the whole team to train hard and strive to contribute to the Greater East Asia Jihad. There is a question that needs to be reported to the Commander.
The soldiers' spare time life is boring and simple. Can we set up more comfort stations in Peiping to meet the physiological needs of the soldiers? This is also a way to improve combat effectiveness.
Shun Tada replied without hesitation that the Front Army Headquarters planned to expand the Army Comfort Station in Peiping and recruit Yamato girls, Korean girls, Chinese girls, and White Russian girls to provide comfort services to the Imperial Army.
When talking about this, Tada Shun slipped away and forgot his identity. He actually said that he would recruit girls from all over China to provide comfort services to the imperial army. Because China is so big, women from different places have different flavors. As a Yamato warrior
, how can we only know the taste of Chinese girls from Peiping but not know the taste of girls from the south of the Yangtze River?
What Jun Tada said was already very erotic, but unexpectedly, it was in line with the sexual temperament of these soldiers. The low-level officers and soldiers were so moved that they sang Japanese military songs while eating.
After returning to the North China Front Army Headquarters in Iron Lion Alley, Tada Shun listened to the report of Chief of Staff Yoshizumi Ryosuke on the situation of various battlefields in Shandong during the day. The commander of the Twelfth Army, Iida Sadagu, commanded the area north of Jiaoji Road.
The raids are progressing smoothly. Today, the Imperial Army's raids in Qinghe once again encircled a regiment of the Eighth Route Army. Unfortunately, the Eighth Route Army relied on village resistance to repeat its old tricks and escape through tunnels. The situation in Jiaodong is relatively stable.
The 28th Division reported that the biggest problem was that all counties and market towns were empty, and the imperial army could not find ordinary people or food. The Lunan Group commanded by Higuchi Kiichiro also made smooth progress and controlled the Lunan Mountains.
It is a traffic artery in most parts of the district. But something new happened today. Tuba Road activities in the Lunan Plain area became active. Within a day, fifteen attacks on scattered troops of the imperial army occurred.
After Tada Shun heard this, he immediately instructed Yoshizumi Ryosuke to send a report to the Fifth Division in Ludong and the 28th Division in Jiaodong to mobilize all the propaganda squads to go to the countryside to appease the people and explain that the imperial army protects the people.
, let them return home and live and work in peace and contentment. Order Lieutenant General Higuchi Kiichiro to prevent the Eighth Route Army in the Lunan Mountains from jumping back to the Lunan Plain. They must block them in the mountainous areas and starve them to death if they cannot be beaten. Order Iida Sadagu
, First, use the engineering troops of each division to search village by village, and be sure to find the tunnels of the Eighth Route Army, and destroy them one by one; second, concentrate on repairing Jinpu Road, because the Empire of Japan is in urgent need of coal from the Zaozhuang Coal Mine.
After issuing the order, Tada Shun felt that the deployment was basically in place. What was needed now was time. As long as the troops in southwestern Shandong were in place, they could conduct another sweep of the southern Hebei area and encircle Liu Yimin's forces lurking in the southern Hebei area.
Tada Shun was really tired after working hard all day, so he went to bed early.
At 1:10 in the night, Tada Shun was awakened by a rapid knock on the door and a panicked report. He hurriedly got up, dressed, and opened the door. Deputy Chief of Staff Masahiro Hirata hurriedly reported: "Report to your Excellency, Commander, the Eighth Route Army
The main force attacks Shimen!"
Tada Shun had never imagined that Liu Yimin would arrive at Pinghan Road so quickly and launch an attack on Shimen! Therefore, he opened his sleepy eyes and asked suspiciously: "Could it be an attack on Tubal Road?"
?”
Judge Hirata reported: "Major General Ogurihara reported that the outer defense line of Shimen was bombarded by a large-scale artillery group of the Eighth Route Army. In my opinion, it was not a harassment battle by the Eighth Route Army, but an siege launched by a large force of the Eighth Route Army."
Tada Shun was so panicked that he didn't even have time to wash his face. He stumbled downstairs and ran to the war room, taking three steps at a time.
Chief of Staff Yoshizumi Ryosuke had just climbed out of bed and was reading a telegram from Major General Ogurihara, commander of the Shijiazhuang garrison. Seeing the commander coming in, Yoshizumi Ryosuke lamented: "Your Excellency, Commander, Shimen has been attacked.
The Eighth Route Army attacks!”
Tada Shun took the telegram and read it hastily, opened his mouth and said: "Order Kinoshita Toshi to send planes to bomb the Eighth Route Army attacking Shimen!"
Yoshizumi Ryosuke reminded: "Your Excellency, Commander, it is easy for planes to lose their direction when taking off at night. Moreover, there have been records of night air raids, and the losses were very heavy."
Tada Shun's head was getting big at this moment. As soon as Yoshizumi Ryosuke said it, he stopped talking about letting the plane take off for the night bombing mission, and wandered around the war room like a trapped animal.
Chief Judge Hirata proposed that the 22nd Division should be ordered immediately to reinforce Shimen.
Yoshizumi Ryosuke stopped Hirata Shoga, saying that the enemy's situation was unclear and reinforcements could not be rushed. He immediately sent a report to Major General Ogurihara, ordering him to defend Shimen and be sure to find out the number of the Eighth Route Army that attacked Shimen.
Masaru Hirata went to send the report. Yoshizumi Ryosuke saw that Tada Shun was too excited and hurriedly called the guard to bring in a basin of cold water so that Tada Shun could wash his face and calm down.
After washing his face, Tada Shun calmed down and opened his mouth to ask: "Yoshizumi-kun, do you think the Eighth Route Army attacking Shimen will be Liu Yimin's main force?"
Yoshizumi Ryosuke also washed his face, his mind was clear, and he answered carefully: "I hope not. However, apart from Liu Yimin's main force, I can't think of any unit in the squadron that has such a powerful artillery group."
strength."
Jun Tada sat down on the chair and murmured to himself: "Liu Yimin, Liu Yimin is so awesome!"
It didn't take long, at about 1:40 in the night, the second telegram from Major General Ogurihara, commander of the Shijiazhuang garrison, arrived. In this telegram, Major General Ogurihara reported that in addition to the powerful artillery group, the Eighth Route Army also had a huge
The convoy, using a chariot to attack, is definitely the main force of Liu Yimin of the Eighth Route Army from Shandong who is launching an attack on Shimen. Contact with Daguozhuang Airport has been lost, all the peripheral positions have been breached, and the Eighth Route Army has already attacked the city. He has ordered the burning of the military flag.
, the code book, smashing the radio station, blowing up the stored materials, determined to fight to the last man, and be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor.
This was a farewell telegram. Tada Shun closed his eyes in pain after reading it. He seemed to see Major General Ogurihara wielding a sword and fighting with the Eighth Route Army. He saw Shimen Station, the ammunition in the warehouse, and the food being burned. He couldn't help but burst out loud.
Crying bitterly. It looked like a funeral examination!
When Tada Shun cried, Yoshizumi Ryosuke and Hirata Shokan felt miserable in their hearts, and he also shed tears.
In the middle of the night, there was a lot of crying in the North China Front Army Headquarters, as if the emperor had died.
After crying for a while, Tada Shun finally stopped, opened his eyes, and said to Yoshizumi Ryosuke and Hirata Shogun: "Chief of Staff, record the order. Enemy report: Liu Yimin, a cancerous security guard in North China, is attacking the 30th Army in southwest Shandong.
After the main force of the Eighth Division, they fled to Pinghan Road and captured Shimen this night. All our Shijiazhuang garrison was shattered. For this reason, the front army ordered: 1. The troops in the strongholds in the counties around Shimen were fully reduced. To the north of Zhengding, they were to shrink towards Baoding.
Prepare to defend Baoding; the troops in Yuanshi County immediately shrink to Xingtai and prepare to defend Xingtai; the troops in Deshi Road shrink to Hengshui and prepare to defend Hengshui; the garrison troops in southern Hebei counties retreat eastward and join the troops in southwest and western Shandong
; Troops along Zhengtai Road shrink to Niangzi Pass and defend Niangzi Pass. 2. Order Lieutenant General Toshiro Kinoshita of the Third Aviation Group to direct all airports in North China to immediately evacuate concealed bombers, ammunition, fuel, and fighter jets to take off before dawn and arrange an aerial ambush over Peking Airport.
Circle, prepare to intercept the Eighth Route Army air force that may sneak attack our airport. Third, order the 35th Division in the Jizhong area to immediately retreat to Baoda Road and establish a defense line on Baoda Road. Order the 110th Division to immediately gather the troops and prepare to move south to Baoding.
, joined forces with the 35th Division on Baoda Road. Fourth, ordered the 5th Division and the 4th Cavalry Brigade to immediately end their current combat missions, load trains from Jiaoji Road to Jinpu Road, and rush to Cangxian County to deploy defenses as a guard.
Use the mobile troops in the Pingjin area; fifth, order the troops in southwestern Shandong to take action immediately after dawn and advance toward Shimen. Fifth, order the First Army to assemble troops and prepare to attack eastward, cooperate with the main force to recapture Shimen, and eliminate Liu Yimin's forces
.”
After Tada Shun finished speaking, Yoshizumi Ryosuke also finished recording, and handed it to Tada Shun to read. After Tada Shun signed his name, he immediately called Chief Justice Hirata and explained: "It is urgent, send it out immediately!".
