Chapter 253: A Drum Down (2)
On the evening of May 25, after having dinner, Fukuyuan Nakasa sent a report to the Fourth Independent Brigade of the Railway to inquire about the progress of the war. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The captain of the 4th Independent Brigade of the Railway reported that the troops had pursued to the junction of Lingxian and Pingyuan counties. However, the guerrillas were too cunning and did not confront each other head-on at all, and blindly used the cover of green gauze tents to fight ambushes and attacks, and the troops were very tired from the attacks and suffered great losses, so they asked for aviation support.
As for the issue of the puppet army Mu Jincheng's unit in Lingxian County cooperating with the operation, the captain of the Fourth Independent Railway Brigade reported that Mu Jincheng's combat effectiveness was too poor to complete the task of flanking the Eighth Route Army as planned.
After reading the telegram, Fuyuan Zhongzuo sent a telegram back ordering the Fourth Independent Railway Brigade to drive the Eighth Route Army to the side of Jinpu Road, get in touch with the Fifth Independent Railway Brigade stationed on Jinpu Road, and attack the Eighth Route Army on both sides, so as to eliminate them.
As for the request for air support, Fukuda Nakasa ignored it. Because he knew that the Provisional Aviation Regiment of the North China Front was doing its best to support the main battle, and it also had to take into account the Shanxi battlefield, so he had no time to take care of such a small battle.
Fuyuan Zhongzuo thought that the Eighth Route Army that captured the Tuqiao stronghold was the main force of the Eighth Route Army on the Jilu border, otherwise, how could the firepower be so powerful, and how could it be possible to destroy the imperial army one by one?
In Fuyuan Zhongzuo's heart, the Japanese Army was invincible in the world, and it was easy and natural for an infantry squad to fight a battalion of the Chinese army. Unless they are facing a Chinese army the size of a regiment or brigade.
If the Eighth Route Army that attacked and occupied Tuqiao was a regiment, it would be good, the Fourth Independent Brigade of the Railway would definitely be able to annihilate them, and the Texas Garrison Command would be able to achieve results!
Fuyuan Zhongzuo, who was bent on expecting the Fourth Independent Railway Brigade to achieve the result of completely annihilating a regiment of the Eighth Route Army, was restless in his office, so he sent a report to the commander of the Third Railway Wing in Cangzhou, asking about the progress of the Third Wing's pursuit of the Eighth Route Army, which was attacking and harassing the transport convoy on the highway.
The commander of the Third Railway Wing called back and told Fuyuan Zhongzuo that the Third Railway Wing was progressing smoothly, and the three brigades had attacked separately and had now entered the territory of Ningjin and Yanshan controlled by the Eighth Route Army.
After reading the telegram, Fuyuan Zhongzuo went to the map to look at it for a while, and suddenly thought that it would be good if the Third Railway Wing was under his command, and if the troops were united, they could attack from the north and south, clear the Tuba Road in the Hebei-Shandong border area, and restore public order!
Although Fuyuan Zhongzuo had not been the commander of the Texas garrison for a short time, he had a very clear view of the situation in northern and northwest Shandong, and knew that because the Japanese army was busy with strategic offensives and the rear garrison was empty, many cities and towns were blind spots for the Japanese army's public security, resulting in the Eighth Route Army and local miscellaneous armed forces sitting on the throne.
This is not Fukugen Nakasa alone who is aware of it, there are many people in the Japanese army who are aware of it. It's just that the Japanese army was too busy with major battles and important strategic targets to consolidate the occupied areas.
Fukugen Nakasa believed that with the strong combat effectiveness of the Imperial Japanese Army, as long as one or two divisions and regiments were transferred back to the North China Plain to carry out public security operations, those Tubalu and miscellaneous armed forces would have no choice but to raise their hands and surrender, and there would be only one way to die. In a month at most, the anti-Japanese forces on the North China Plain can be completely wiped out!
This is not a blind thought of Fuyuan Zhongzuo, it is logical. Once the Japanese army captured Wuhan, it would naturally return to the division to consolidate the occupied area. This is the established strategy of the Japanese army, Fukugen Nakasa is clear!
To Fuyuan's regret, it was impossible for the Japanese army to send elite divisions back to the North China Plain to consolidate the occupied areas, and he could only watch as smoke erupted in his garrison area and more and more anti-Japanese forces.
After pondering for a while, Fuyuan Zhongzuo felt that with the Third Railway Wing fighting in the north and his Fourth and Fifth Independent Railway Brigades fighting in the south, even if they could not completely eliminate the Eighth Route Army that attacked and harassed the transport convoy and captured the earth bridge, they could not stand their ground. At the very least, the county seat captured by the Eighth Route Army and Liu Jingliang's troops should be taken back!
This is Fuyuan Zhongzuo's lack of greed, with his little strength, it would be good to be able to guard the communication line, and he still wants to recapture those county towns that were recovered by the Eighth Route Army and Liu Jingliang's troops, isn't that a dream of marrying a daughter-in-law and thinking about good things?
Fukugen Nakasa regarded the railway garrison as an elite division of the Japanese army!
I was thinking about it, and Shigeru Kishimoto, the Japanese police adviser of the Texas Police Department, came.
Shigeromasa Kishimoto, like Lai Hukou and Xu Ben, advisers to the Yin Office of Lubei Province, were both retired officers of the Kwantung Army. Including the advisers of the county garrisons established by the Japanese army in various parts of North China, they were basically retired officers of various units of the Japanese army. These guys, after retiring from the army, should have returned to Japan to find new jobs, but they are a group of aggressive maniacs, who regard serving as advisers to the puppet regime and the puppet army on the battlefield of aggression against China as reemployment, and they all rush to follow the Japanese army to North China and Central China, continue to enslave and massacre the Chinese, and continue to serve the Japanese army in its invasion of China.
After meeting with the commander of the Texas garrison, Fukugen Nakasa, Shigeru Kishimoto saluted according to the military regulations of the Japanese army, and then began to report on the implementation of the armor protection system and the cultivation of opium in Ludong Province.
After the establishment of the puppet Shandong Provincial Office, it not only set up four Daoyin offices and two special cities in Shandong Province, but also tried its best to win over traitors, prepare for the establishment of county and district puppet regimes, and began to implement the armor protection system.
The Yin Office of Lubei Province has jurisdiction over 36 counties in northern and northwestern Lubei, but only a handful of the Japanese army have actually established county offices, and the main reason is that the Japanese army has insufficient troops and cannot garrison troops for a long time wherever it goes, resulting in the slow progress of the construction of the puppet regime. In some counties, although maintenance associations or county offices had been established in the early stage, they were later wiped out by the anti-Japanese forces. For example, Qingyun, Leling, Ningjin, Yanshan, Wudi, Huimin, Yangxin and other places are like this.
As soon as Shigeru Kishimoto reported, he first involved the issue of the need to send troops to consolidate the occupied areas, otherwise it would be impossible to hold on to the establishment of a puppet regime.
Fukugen Nakasa knew this in his heart, and directly told Kishimoto Shigemasa that after the Japanese Army captured Wuhan and forced the Chiang Kai-shek government to surrender, these problems could be easily solved.
Shigeromasa Kishimoto also reported on the progress made in promoting opium cultivation.
This time, Fukugen Nakasa did not hesitate at all, and viciously told Kishimoto Shigeru that opium must be cultivated on a large scale, and those who dare to resist will all die!
Shigeruma Kishimoto suggested that the untouchables of China dared to resist the cultivation of opium, the old and the young were all dead, the young and the young were sent to the mainland and Manchukuo to do coolie work, and the flower girls were all sent to comfort the imperial army!
When Fuyuan Nakasa heard this, he immediately smiled, patted Shigemasa Kishimoto's shoulder and said Yo Xi!
The two old devils urinated into a pot, and the more they talked, the more excited they became, so they simply called two geisha and drank wine.
It wasn't until gunfire rang from the direction of the Texas airport and the on-duty phone in the garrison headquarters rang that Fukugen Nakasa was taken aback, pushed away the geisha in his arms, stood up and asked what happened to the officer on duty who came to report?
The officer on duty reported that he had received a report from the sentry in the direction of the East Gate that there had been a fierce battle in the direction of the airport, and judged that it was a guerrilla sneak attack on the airport!
Fuyuan Nakasa's drunkenness was immediately woken up, and he hurriedly ran to the office, grabbed the phone and shouted Moxi, Moxi, wanting to connect the phone to the airport and ask what happened and what the scale of the enemy forces that were sneaking up on him!
If Fuyuan Zhongzuo could still get through the phone at the Dezhou Airport at this time, Huo Cheng, who commanded the battle to capture the airport, would not be an old Red Army cadre who had gone through the Long March!
Fuyuan Zhongzuo shouted "Moxi" and "Moxi" for a while, and when he saw that the phone could not be reached, he hung up the phone and ordered the officer on duty to notify the headquarters of the guard squad to assemble, the troops of the various units in Texas to assemble, the self-police regiment, and the canal garrison brigade to assemble, and he wanted to lead the troops to reinforce the airport and resolutely eliminate the guerrillas who attacked the airport!
Fuyuan Zhongzuo knew in his heart that there must be no accident at the Texas airport, where a large amount of aviation ammunition and fuel were stored, and if the guerrillas were to detonate it, the losses would be great. Oh no, he really has to apologize for his sins!
Fuyuan Zhongzuo was lonely and unheard, and he didn't know what kind of army the Eighth Route Army he was facing was.
Where would Xiao Siming be willing to detonate the aviation ammunition and fuel stored at the airport, such a precious thing must be transported back!
Before the officers on duty could give orders, gunfire rang out from the eastern, southern, and northern directions.
Fuyuan Zhongzuo was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't understand what was going on!
A moment later, Fukugen Nakasa went crazy and rushed out of the office and up the stairs to the roof, where he wanted to see for himself what was going on!
It doesn't matter if you look at it, it almost scared Fuyuan Zhongzuo to death!
At night, the east, north, and south gates all have lights. The battle-hardened Fukugen Nakasa knew at a glance that it was the glow of the lights of medium tanks and armored vehicles produced in the Empire of Japan. Moreover, it was the medium tank produced by the Great Japanese Empire that rushed into the eastern, northern, and southern gates of Dezhou City, needless to say, behind the tanks and armored vehicles, it must be followed by the infantry who broke the city!
Fuyuan Nakasa is not an ordinary soldier, and his brain will not let the donkey kick. He immediately understood that this was definitely not the return of the Imperial Japanese Army to Dezhou, but the Eighth Route Army that had fled to the Jilu border area to seize Dezhou City!
At this moment, Fuyuan Zhongzuo's heart suddenly brightened, and he finally understood one thing, that is, where were the eight medium tanks and four armored vehicles carried on the military train when the Lianzhen Railway Station was attacked and occupied!
Not only did he understand this problem that had plagued the Japanese army for a long time, but Fuyuan Zhongzuo also figured out why the Eighth Route Army would capture Tuqiao and why it would frequently attack transport convoys on the highway from Wuqiao to Cangzhou.
Fuyuan Zhongzuo was sweating all of a sudden, and sighed in his heart, what a ruthless dirt road! (To be continued.) )
