Chapter 111: The Decision of the Japanese Army Headquarters

The boss's expectation is true, Tada Jun is really decadent, Shandong materials have been lost, the Hebei Independent Division has gained a foothold, his own command of the troops has been unable to defeat Shanxi, and the three battlefields have changed from dominance to now the Eighth Route Army is slowly regaining the advantage, and the situation seems to be out of control.

On the other hand, after receiving the telegram from Yan'an, Chongqing also began to counterattack with temptation, which made Central China dumbfounded, and had no choice but to order the troops to strictly guard the garrison and not sweep again.

The change in the devils made the chairman of the Chongqing committee very happy, and he directly ordered the troops to counterattack appropriately to see if they could recover some areas.

The troops attacked, and the devils did not give the Chinese troops a good chance, and the south had already gathered a lot of Japanese troops, since they could not charge, they could also block the attack of the Chinese troops by playing defense.

The smoke of gunpowder in the south was permeated, and the situation of the Central China Front directly caused a chain reaction on the South China Front, which shocked the Japanese army headquarters.

In the palace, the emperor and the ministers were dumbfounded, and the erosion of the situation caught them a little off guard.

"Bastard, everything is caused by the loss of materials by Tada Jun's waste." , The emperor's anger made the people below silent, and Hideki Tojo no longer defended Tada Jun.

"Let's talk about it! What to do? ”

The emperor's question was still silent, and Heizhao Kiichiro raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, the situation has not eroded to that point, it's just that this chain reaction has made us feel wrong. ”

Seeing that everyone was staring at him, Ping Zhaoqi Ichiro continued: "As long as the logistics of the Central China Front and the South China Front are in place, they can take the advantage and beat the Chinese army back. ”

"The North China Front, where the situation is really erosive, Shanxi is lost, and Hebei and Shandong are unstable, and here is the key to the problem."

At this time, everyone nodded suddenly, and they all agreed with Ping Zhao Kiichiro's statement, and the Japanese emperor's eyes narrowed, and he asked: "Do you mean to replace the commander of North China, Tada Jun?" ”

Ping Zhao Qiichiro shook his head slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, General Tada Jun is currently commanding the troops to fight, and it will be taboo for soldiers to change at such a critical moment. ”

"In my opinion, General Tada Toshidai is only in charge of Hebei and Shanxi, and we will separate Shandong and send another commander and troops, and the two troops will cooperate to clear the resistance in North China."

After Ping Zhao Kiichiro finished speaking, not only the emperor was shocked, but the ministers below were also shocked, this suggestion is very strange!

Only Hideki Tojo's eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, it seems that the day of Sugiyama Moto's resurgence is not far away.

Fights between the Japanese factions were happening from time to time, and Hideki Tojo understood that he had kept Tada in the same way that he had now wanted to return Sugiyama to power.

The Emperor pondered for a moment and asked, "Who are you going to let lead the Shandong troops?" ”

Ping Zhao Qiichiro bowed his head slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, General Sugiyama Yuan has been resting for a long time, he is already familiar with the situation in North China, you can let him go, as long as one more division is transferred to it, combined with the current strength of Shandong, the elimination of Shandong resistance forces is just around the corner." ”

"Ridiculous, the two generals are in the North China Front, who is the main and who is the deputy, I'm afraid that many countries in the world will laugh at the soldiers of our empire." As soon as Ping Zhao Qiichiro finished speaking, there was an immediate opposition from the minister, which really hit the nail on the head.

As soon as Hideki Tojo saw it, he knew that he should make a move, and someone should help Tada Jun, otherwise he would not be able to protect him if he was defeated.

Raising his head, Hideki Tojo said: "Your Majesty, the North China Front is led by General Tada Toshi, and we can let General Sugiyama Gen lead the troops to Shandong in the name of reinforcements, and it will be under the command of North China and the headquarters, so that there will be no separation of powers." ”

After Tojo Hideki finished speaking, the ministers below understood that Tojo Hideki and Taira Kiichiro had a faint tendency to form an alliance, and the two sides had common interests.

As soon as the emperor heard Hideki Tojo's explanation, he was immediately relieved, Tada Jun could stay in his position after defeat, and Sugiyama Motomo should also recover.

"Yo Xi, in the name of reinforcements, a division of troops will be transferred to Shandong, and Sugiyama Yuan will be in charge of Shandong affairs, and cooperate with Tada Jun to change the situation in North China."

"Your Majesty is wise."

Since the people who disagree in their hearts also pinched their noses and admitted it, the faint alliance between Hideki Tojo and Kiichiro Taira made them helpless.

The Japanese army headquarters made a decision, and the telegram soon came to Tada Jun, who was originally waiting for death, was very strange, and when he learned that Sugiyama Motomo would return, he understood that this was an exchange of interests.

Tada Jun didn't think that Sugiyama Moto's arrival would divide his power at all, but now he breathed a sigh of relief, as long as someone came over to share the responsibility, he couldn't bear it anymore.

Sugiyama Yuan soon came to North China, and after meeting with Tada Jun, he learned about the situation, and immediately smiled bitterly.

Last time he was planted in the hands of the Eighth Route Army, he rolled back to Japan, and now the situation is even worse, and the two of them were silent after looking at each other, both of them understood that this was the last chance, the situation in North China would not change, and the two would not have the opportunity to lead troops in their next life.

"Your Excellency Sugiyama Yuan, the situation in Shandong is entrusted to you, I can only stabilize the situation in Hebei at present."

Tada Jun's helplessness Sugiyama Yuan nodded, and said: "Your Excellency Commander, please rest assured, I will change the situation in Shandong, my old enemy Li Ping is there, and this is my duel with him." ”

The two discussed the next arrangements at the headquarters, and on the other side, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army also received information that Sugiyama Yuan had returned.

"Hahaha, now Li Ping has to be beaten, Sugiyama Yuan can't wait for his life." , The Chief of Staff's words made everyone laugh, why Sugiyama Yuan was suddenly transferred back to the headquarters, most of the reason was because Li Ping made the devil lose face.

"I think Shandong will be full of gunsmoke in the next place, Sugiyama Yuan is in charge of Shandong affairs, and Tada Jun can be a lot easier." , the words of the political commissar made everyone quiet, Tada Jun was relaxed, and their Eighth Route Army was sad, which was determined by the positions of both sides.

The boss's eyes flashed with murderous aura, and he said: "The advantage we just moved back was taken back by the devil, everyone get ready!" It's really a hit. ”

Li Ping didn't know what the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army was, but when he knew that Sugiyama Yuan was in charge of the clean-up in Shandong, he immediately understood the seriousness of the matter.

"Political commissar, send a telegram to Division Commander Chen, saying that my suggestion is that the base areas of the two sides must be connected together, and the troops of the two sides must quickly attack in the direction of the other side and occupy these areas."

The political commissar also understood that Shandong would have to fight next, and the base areas would be linked together to help support each other.

Division Commander Chen laughed directly when he received the telegram, and said: "Order the troops, follow Li Ping's suggestion, Lao Tzu wants to go to him to get some benefits." ”
