Chapter 319: Mitsu Mijiro's Thoughts

The thunderous explosions that blew up the Hutuo River Railway Bridge and the Highway Bridge spread far and wide, and the devils in Zhengding City and Shijiazhuang were all awakened. Vertices M. updates the fastest

Not long after Lieutenant General Umezu Yoshijiro took up the post of commander of the First Army, he was now preparing to move the headquarters of the First Army to Taiyuan to command the First Army's combat operations in Shanxi. Unexpectedly, the military headquarters had not yet been relocated, and there was a rumbling explosion on the heavily guarded Hutuo River railway bridge and highway bridge.

When the explosion sounded, Lieutenant General Umezu Mijiro had not yet gone to bed, but was still reading the battle reports submitted by various units of the First Army since the Battle of Taiyuan, studying the operational characteristics of the Eighth Route Army, the Central Army, and the Jinsui Army, and trying to find out some regularity from them.

Lieutenant General Umezu Mijiro belonged to the kind of role that was as cunning as a fox and as ruthless as a wolf in the Japanese army, and paid special attention to studying the operational characteristics of his opponent.

In the past few days, Lieutenant General Umezu Mijiro has been reading war reports and intelligence, and has been researching, and his mind is full of the names of the Central Army, the Eighth Route Army, and the Jin Sui Army, as well as the names of Wei Lihuang, Yan Xishan, Zhu De, Peng Dehuai, Nie Rongzhen, He Long, and others.

Flipping over, Umezu Mijiro felt that the ** squadron on the Shanxi battlefield had a strong will to fight at this time, and they could basically cooperate with each other and respond to each other during the battle.

Umezu Mijiro found an interesting problem, that is, the First Army was generally victorious on the Shanxi battlefield, and the territory occupied was getting bigger and bigger, but the strange thing is that with the victory of the First Army, the territory of the Eighth Route Army's base area was also expanding, and the momentum was very strong, forming several large base areas such as Jin-Cha-Ji, southeastern Jin, northwestern Shanxi, and western Shanxi. Vertex. The fastest update, especially the Jin-Cha-Ji, has completely become the world of the Eighth Route Army, and even the Jinsui Army can't get in, let alone the Japanese army!

After discovering this problem, Umezu Mijiro secretly thought in his heart that this Eighth Route Army was really bold enough, and it even ignored the great military might of the Great Japanese Army, dared to face the attack of the Imperial Army, advanced to the area occupied by the Imperial Army, and took root in the rear of the Imperial Army. If this situation is allowed to develop, the First Army will fight fiercely with Chiang Kai-shek's Central Army in front, Yan Xishan's Jin Sui Army, and the Northwest Army and other miscellaneous armies, while the Eighth Route Army will bury its head in the back and continue to grow, and in the end, the small sapling will grow into a towering tree.

After flipping through the battle reports and intelligence, and thinking about it over and over again, Mitsu Mijiro thought that on the Shanxi battlefield, the squadron was basically three major parts: the Central Army and its miscellaneous army under the command of the Central Army, the Jin Sui Army, and the Eighth Route Army. At present, these three major blocks cooperate with each other and are each other's Olympic aid. We have to find a way to break the situation where the three parts of the team cooperate with each other.

If the First Army concentrates its forces to attack Wei Lihuang's troops, and the Jin Sui Army and the Eighth Route Army do not move, it should be no problem to eliminate Wei Lihuang's Army. At the very least, Wei Lihuang's troops can be driven out of southern and southeastern Jin, and across the Yellow River. Vertices M. updates the fastest

Once the strongest Central Army on the battlefield in Shanxi is eliminated, and then turn back and eliminate the Eighth Route Army and the Jin Sui Army one by one, it will be much easier.

This Mitsu Mijiro, in the final analysis, still regarded the Central Army as the main combat target, ignoring or despising the Eighth Route Army.

How can we divide and disintegrate the close cooperation between the Central Army, the Eighth Route Army, and the Jin Sui Army?

Mitsu Mijiro fell into deep thought.

Needless to say, the Central Army did not surrender to the Chiang Kai-shek government, and it was impossible for the Wei Lihuang Department to surrender; Needless to say, the Eighth Route Army is a group of guys who have been brainwashed by the ethereal ** ideology, and it is impossible to surrender at all. Only Yan Xishan's Jin Sui army is weak, and it is a gap!

The Jin Sui Army is an armed group with first-class equipment and relatively strong cohesion among China's local armed forces. If you can think of doing the work of Yan Xishan and absorbing the Jin Sui Army, it will be equivalent to absorbing a strong combat force for the Japanese Empire, which must be very meaningful!

As soon as he thought of all the favorable factors after the incorporation of the Jin Sui Army, Mitsu Mijiro felt that this matter had to be done, and it had to be done immediately, and he had to set up a special working team, carefully study it, and plan carefully, and he must work hard to do it!

Mitsu Mijiro knows that Yan Xishan's influence in the three worlds of politics and business in China is very great, and he has a huge influence in North China that no one can replace. Vertex. Once the update is done at the earliest, it will allow Yan Xishan to cooperate with the imperial army and rely on the Jin Sui army to establish a security army in North China, which is much more reliable and effective than relying on Qi Kuiyuan to build a security army like a new corps from scratch!

Think about it, if the Jin Sui Army and the Imperial Army cooperate to attack the Wei Lihuang Department of the Central Army, I'm afraid Wei Lihuang won't know how he died!

As for whether Yan Xishan will cooperate with the Japanese army, Mitsu Mijiro is confident. He is a China expert, and he knows how the Mongols occupied the Central Plains and how the Manchus occupied the Central Plains in Chinese history, and they all relied on traitors among the Han people. Without the cooperation of traitors, it would be impossible for the Mongols, the Manchus, and anyone to occupy China!

What the Mongols and the Manchus could do, why couldn't the Great Japanese Empire do? Didn't you see that Pu Yi, Zhang Jinghui, King De, Wang Kemin, Liang Hongzhi, Qi Kuiyuan, and Yin Rugeng all became the dogs of the Japanese Empire?

This Mitsu Mijiro, I really dare to think about it! He dared to instigate Yan Xishan, the commander of the second theater, to be a traitor!

Pu Yi, Zhang Jinghui, King De, Wang Kemin, Liang Hongzhi, Qi Kuiyuan, and Yin Rugeng are all things, how can they be compared with Yan Xishan?

At this time, the Japanese generals were all guys with their nostrils facing the sky. Mitsu Mijiro didn't think that there was anything impossible to lure Yan Xishan, on the contrary, he carefully calculated in his heart, from Yan Xishan's habits to the situation of the Jin Sui army, he weighed it repeatedly for a while, and felt that not only did he want to lure Yan Xishan, but Yan Xishan should be waiting for the Japanese army to go to him to negotiate conditions!

The reason for this conclusion is that Mitsu Mijiro felt that there were four reasons why Yan Xishan had to accept the temptation of the Japanese army to surrender. Vertex. Fastest updates

One is that Yan Xishan once went to Japan to study, and when he was defeated in the Central Plains War, he also sought refuge from the Japanese, and there should not be much emotional resistance to the Great Japanese Empire. Moreover, Yan Xishan should have great admiration for the Yamato civilization of the Great Japanese Empire, its strong national strength, its developed industrial level, and its strong military strength.

As soon as he thought of this, Mitsu Mijiro felt that the Great Japanese Empire was a bit short-sighted. Chiang Kai-shek and Yan Xishan both went to Japan to study, and if they had been allowed to marry a beautiful Yamato woman, the war would have ended. At the very least, the Army was able to obtain a lot of valuable information from Chiang Kai-shek and Yan Xishan's Japanese wives. It's a pity that those people in power at that time were all short-sighted guys, and there were beautiful women who were kept for themselves, so they didn't think of using this way to benefit the Japanese Empire!

Second, Mitsu Mijiro feels that Yan Xishan is a soil emperor in his bones, a typical warlord, and everything is based on maintaining his position and strength. As long as the Japanese Empire promised to hand over Shanxi and even North China to Yan Xishan for governance, Yan Xishan had no reason not to agree.

Mitsu Mijiro knew that the current puppet North China Provisional Government, Wang Kemin, Tang Erhe, Qi Kuiyuan and the like, were all old and decrepit of the Beiyang government, and their influence and strength could not be compared with Yan Xishan. As long as Yan Xishan is willing to cooperate with the Japanese, General Terauchi Shouichi, the commander of the North China Front, will definitely kick Wang Kemin, Tang Erhe, Qi Kuiyuan and others aside to make room for Yan Xishan!

Third, Mitsu Mijiro believes that although Yan Xishan is the commander of the Second Theater and the supreme commander of the Shanxi War of Resistance, he can only command the Jin Sui Army. The Central Army and the Eighth Route Army, Yan Xishan must not be able to command. He, the commander of the second theater of operations, was a wretched man and held his breath. Moreover, Chiang Kai-shek's policy is to eliminate dissidents and consume miscellaneous troops, Yan Xishan should know this, and he guards against being eaten by the Central Army every day. As for the Eighth Route Army, not to mention, under the banner of the Anti-Japanese War, they went to Shanxi to grab territory and expand their troops, or it won't be long before contradictions break out between Yan Xishan and the Eighth Route Army, and maybe there will be a fight.

In other words, in Mitsu Mijiro's view, if Yan Xishan does not surrender, not only will the Japanese army destroy him, but Chiang Kai-shek's Central Army will also eat him! Not to mention the Eighth Route Army, it will eventually turn Shanxi and turn Yan Xishan into a lost dog.

Yan Xishan, he is trying to survive in the gap between the three major forces of the Japanese army, the Central Army, and the Eighth Route Army!

On this point, Lieutenant General Mitsu Mijiro couldn't think of any reason for Yan Xishan to refuse to cooperate with the Japanese army!

Fourth, Mizu Mijiro believes that the Jin Sui army is on the verge of collapse, extremely difficult, the territory is getting smaller and smaller, and eating is a problem, not to mention the supply of weapons and ammunition, and the replenishment of soldiers. As the war continues, the Jin Sui army, like the Northeast Army, will gradually die out. Yan Xishan should also see this very clearly, from the perspective of considering his own interest group, Yan Xishan should also be able to accept cooperation with the imperial army.

Mitsu Mijiro believes that between Yan Xishan and the Japanese army, it is a cooperation that benefits both sides, and it can definitely be negotiated!

After thinking about it repeatedly, Mitsu Mijiro thought that his idea was a good strategy to break the current stalemate in Shanxi, and he should do it quickly!

Mitsu Mijiro stretched out his hand and rang the tablebell, and asked the guards to notify the chief of staff, Major General Iida Shojiro, to come and meet him, and study in detail the feasibility and specific implementation methods of luring Yan Xishan to surrender.

Before Iida Shojiro arrived, there were faint explosions and gunfire outside the window.

A smile appeared on Mitsu Mijiro's face, and he said in his heart, which unit must be destroying the sneak attack guerrillas again. Why did these guys make such a big move and use explosives bags and infantry guns?

Mitsu Mijiro had just been transferred from the position of vice minister of the Japanese army, and he was familiar with the explosion of high explosives packets and the sound of infantry artillery shelling produced by the Japanese Empire. From such a distance, the voice came faintly, and he could tell that it was a weapon only owned by the Japanese army.

At this moment, the chief of staff of the First Army, Iida Shojiro, came in in a hurry, opened his mouth and said: "Your Excellency Commander, the Eighth Route Army has blown up the Hutuo River Railway Bridge and the Hutuo River Highway Bridge!" ”

Mitsu Mijiro's mind cleared up at once, and he didn't want to think about Yan Xishan anymore! (To be continued.) )
