At this time, the Japanese generals generally did not falsely report their achievements, and it was more pragmatic Tada Jun to think about Yoshizumi Ryosuke's should be the truth, such a large-scale campaign operation could not eliminate the regular army of the Eighth Route Army, could not also eliminate the local armed forces of the Eighth Route Army? In addition, the number of casualties of the Japanese army was real, more than 4,000 people, and the Japanese army took the initiative in this battle and suddenly launched an attack, and according to the normal combat casualty ratio, it was natural for the local armed forces of the Eighth Route Army to suffer 30,000 or 40,000 casualties.

How did Tada Jun know that the number reported to him by Yoshizumi Ryosuke was very large, and he killed, wounded, and captured 37,524 people of the Eighth Route Army, local armed forces, and local cadres, and I am afraid that all the captured people were counted as prisoners. Even the casualties of the Japanese army are only for the Shandong battlefield, not the Shanxi battlefield.

After Yoshizumi Ryosuke finished, Tada's face looked a little better.

Hirata glanced at Yoshizumi Ryosuke with emotion, and he couldn't imagine that Yoshizumi Ryosuke, whom he had always hated and thought was old, would actually relieve him.

Following Yoshizumi Ryosuke's line of thought, Hirata Masashi began to report how many county-level and district-level regimes of the Eighth Route Army were destroyed in a week's sweep, how many houses of anti-Japanese elements were burned, how many large livestock were seized, and so on.

Tada Jun smiled at this time, and kept yo Xi.

After Hirata's report was finished, several old devils discussed and evaluated the results of the past week. In the end, three conclusions were drawn: First, under the powerful offensive of the front army to mobilize heavy troops, the Jiaodong base area, the southern Hebei base area, the Luxi base area, the southeastern Shandong base area, and the base area of the Suzhou-Anhui border area of the Eighth Route Army no longer existed, the political power was destroyed, the towns were occupied, and they became the areas occupied by the imperial army. Second, since the beginning of the campaign, the main force of the Eighth Route Army has not been captured, nor has it been able to form a formation to eliminate any unit of the Eighth Route Army. The battle situation is still extremely dangerous and uncertain, and Liu Yimin may launch a fatal blow to the front army at any time. Third, the Eighth Route Army carried out strict fortifications and cleared the wilderness, and the cities and towns occupied by all units of the Front Army were all empty cities, and the Eighth Route Army of the Ming Dynasty had already taken precautions against the sweep of the Front Army, and the people in the occupied areas also harbored deep hostility towards the great powers and the Continental Army, and they were extremely uncooperative, and the task of strengthening public order in the future was very arduous, and if there was a slight relaxation, the Eighth Route Army would make a comeback, and the public order situation in the occupied areas would still have a big recurrence.

Tada Jun is ruthless, ruthless, and very pragmatic. For example, the three-point conclusion drawn from the evaluation of the results of the past week is very pertinent and pinpoints the problem.

After coming to these three conclusions, Tada began to adjust his deployment.

According to Tada Jun's law, it is to concentrate all efforts to encircle and suppress Lunan, completely eliminate Liu Yimin's division of the Eighth Route Army and Yu Xuezhong's division in the Sulu Theater in Lunan, and settle Shandong in the first battle.

According to this guiding ideology, Tada Jun adjusted the deployment as follows:

1. The West Group was formed by the main forces of the 1st Division, the 2nd Division, the 7th Division, the 23rd Division, the 1st Guards Division and the two North China Security Army groups advancing in southern Hebei and western Luxi, and under the command of Lieutenant General Ani Toji of the 2nd Division, to force the Yellow River and attack the Jining and Yanzhou areas of southern Lunan from west to east;

2. The 4th and 11th Divisions and the 6th and 24th Divisions that captured southeastern Shandong formed the East Group, commanded by Lieutenant General Yamashita Fengfumi, commander of the Fourth Division, to capture the mountainous area of central and southern Shandong from east to west;

3. The 5th Division, the 2nd Brigade of the 1st Guards Division, the Heavy Artillery Brigade, the 27th Division, the 4th Cavalry Brigade, and the 16th Mixed Brigade formed the North Group, under the command of Lieutenant General Jun Imamura, commander of the 5th Division, and attacked from north to south;

4. The 9th Division, the 114th Division, the Manchurian Ting Army, and the 2nd Guards Division, which attacked from the Suzhou-Anhui area to the Longhai Line, and the Taiwan Mixed Brigade formed a southern front attack group, under the command of Lieutenant General Higuchi Jiichiro, commander of the 9th Division, to attack Lunan;

5. The 38th Division, which is located in the Caoxian area, and the 15th Division, the 1st Mixed Brigade, the 5th Mixed Brigade, and the 7th Mixed Brigade from the Suzhou-Anhui area to the north form the Southwest Lu Group, under the command of Hirochi Fujii, commander of the 38th Division, to sweep through the southwestern Lu area and block the main force of the Eighth Route Army that might flee to the area.

6. The 37th Division, the 110th Division, the 40th Division, and the 41st Division command the four public security army groups to form the Hexi Group, which is commanded by Lieutenant General An Da 23, commander of the 37th Division.

7. Lieutenant General Iida Sadagu, commander of the 12th Army, commanded the 28th, 32nd, and 36th Divisions, the mixed 17th Brigade stationed in Zhangqiu, the mixed 18th Brigade stationed in Jiaoxian, the Jiaoji Road Garrison, the Qingdao Garrison, and the Jinan Garrison, as well as the Li Wenli Department and the various security forces in Jinan, Qingdao, Yantai, and Weihai, to form the Jiaoji Lubei Group, and repeatedly swept the Jiaodong, Qinghe, and Jiaolai base areas of the Eighth Route Army, and was sure to capture the main force of the Eighth Route Army in this area and annihilate it;

8. The 17th Division commanded the 11th Brigade and the 12th Brigade of the Mixed Brigade and the 23rd Brigade of the Mixed Brigade stationed in Suxian to repeatedly sweep the Suzhou-Anhui area and completely wipe out the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army in this area;

9. The 29th Division remaining in the southeast of Shandong commanded the Lianyungang garrison and the mixed 22nd Brigade stationed in the East China Sea to carry out a sweeping operation in the southeast of Shandong;

10. The 35th Division stationed in Jizhong, the 19th, 20th, and 21st Mixed Brigades stationed in Hebei and Lubian, the 14th Division stationed in reserve, and all units stationed in Henan should carry out sweeping operations in the defense area;

11. The First Army and the G Army stationed in the Gate concentrated all their efforts to repel the counterattack of the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi, and if necessary, they could shrink the defensive line, and after Liu Yimin's forces were eliminated, they would then transfer troops to cooperate with the First Army to sweep the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi.

12. All units on the Pinghan Line and all units in the Pingjin area and the Xuzhou garrison should strictly guard the defensive line and guard against the surprise attack of the Eighth Route Army.

After adjusting the deployment, Chief of Staff Yoshizumi Ryosuke confidently said to Tada Jun: "Your Excellency, Commander, under such a powerful siege, if Liu Yimin can escape, it will be a miracle!" In my opinion, there is only one way for him to disarm and surrender. If you have to resist stubbornly, even if all the gods and goddesses in China come to save him, I am afraid they will not be able to save him. ”

Among these people, Kinoshita Min suffered the biggest loss from the Eighth Route Army, and he was also the most humiliating, and his hatred for the Eighth Route Army was also the deepest. After listening to Tada Jun's words, Kinoshita Min was worried: "Your Excellency Commander, according to normal logic, Liu Yimin's power this time is absolutely unreasonable, and it will definitely be difficult to escape." However, I have a very bad feeling, that is, Liu Yimin will definitely not be restrained, he must be hiding in a dark corner, plotting how to deal with the imperial army! The thought of the Eighth Route Army burrowing into the tunnels like rats, suddenly running out and biting us at any moment, makes my scalp tingle. Your Excellency, I suggest that all units must be reminded to advance as a group and not to stand out alone. In addition, it is necessary to protect the logistics supply lines. Otherwise, tragedy may occur. ”

Tada Jun wanted to clean up Kinoshita a week ago, but now not only does he not plan to clean up Kinoshita, but he also wants to praise Kinoshita Toshita. The reason is very simple, since the destruction of Jinan Airport and Xuzhou Airport, Kinoshita Toshi has done a lot of work to coordinate the Navy to dispatch carrier-based aircraft to provide air cover for the Japanese army, making up for the air cover gap of Xuzhou Airport and Jinan Airport being destroyed. Moreover, Kinoshita Min also used Weixian Erlipu Airport, and used the complete sets of aircraft components from the inventory of Qingdao Airport and Beiping Airport and the surviving pilots of Xuzhou Airport and Jinan Airport to re-establish the flight teams of Jinan Airport and Xuzhou Airport, and then they could be put into battle.

No, as soon as Kinoshita Toshi finished, Tada Jun stood up and walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder, and said affectionately: "Kinoshita-kun's big right, I will definitely report Kinoshita-kun's loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor and the Great Empire." Work hard, and the next battle will require the vigorous cooperation of loyal and brave air officers, and I look forward to Kinoshita-kun and His Majesty the Emperor's air pride making new contributions. After Liu Yimin's forces are eliminated, I will report to the base camp and ask for credit for Kinoshita-kun and the heroes of the Third Flying Division and the Navy's carrier-based aircraft! ”

Hearing this, Yoshizumi Ryosuke and Hirata Masatsu only rolled their eyes at Kinoshita.

Kinoshita Min was happy, "snapped" and stood upright, and said loudly: "Thank you, Your Excellency Commander!" The 3rd Flying Division is willing to act as a pioneer for the Great East Asian Holy War! ”

Tada Jun is smiling at every wrinkle on his thin face, patting Kinoshita Toshi's shoulder and saying a few yo xi!

At the end, Tada Jun turned around and said to Yoshizumi Ryosuke and Hirata Masashi with a straight face: "Lieutenant General Kinoshita is right, we are not facing an ordinary enemy, but the extremely vicious and cunning Liu Yimin, Liu Yimin, who attacked and occupied Taiyuan, Tianjin, Qingdao, and Jinan, and Liu Yimin, who captured five lieutenant generals of the Continental Army, killed four lieutenant generals, forced two lieutenant generals to disembowel, chopped Lieutenant General Gu Shoufu, and hanged Lieutenant General Guan Kameiji!" His hands were stained with the blood of the soldiers of the Continental Army! The face of the Continental Army has already made Liu Yimin humiliated without any dignity! For Liu Yimin, no matter how vigilant you are, it is not too much! ”

Yoshizumi Ryosuke and Hirata Masashi hurriedly stood up and kept Hai.

After saying this, Tada Jun's eyes were filled with tears, and his hands trembled.

After pausing for a while, Tada Jun calmed down, and then said: "This Lunan battle, we must eliminate the main force of Liu Yimin's army." Ordered all troops to see people in life and corpses in death for Liu Yimin, Luo Ronghuan, Cai Zhong, and Zeng Zhongsheng. Whoever captures or kills Liu Yimin alive will be rewarded with 2 million yuan. If Luo Ronghuan, Cai Zhong, or Zeng Zhongsheng are captured alive or killed, a reward of 1 million yuan will be awarded. As for the brigade commander and brigade political commissar of the main force under Liu Yimin, a reward of 100,000 yuan will be awarded for killing one. It is necessary to re-announce the original reward set by His Excellency Shanshan Yuan, encourage all participating troops to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, and encourage the common people to rise up and kill the Eighth Route Army to make money. ”

Listening to Tada's vicious words, Yoshizumi Ryosuke, Hirata Masaki, and Kinoshita Toshishi all spoke loudly.

After Tada Jun finished the poison gas, he calmed down a little, sat back at his desk, pondered for a while, and said: "To fight against Liu Yimin's army, we must adopt comprehensive military, political, and economic means. Militarily, heavy troops were encircled and suppressed, surrounded on all sides, impermeable, and opened a huge gap, gradually covering Liu Yimin's troops in the middle, and captured them in one go. Even if Liu Yimin has the ability to splash the sky and can escape underground, as long as we occupy his base area, we can continue to sweep dàng non-stop, destroy their tunnels with sappers, and force him out of the underground to kill! Politically, it is necessary to continue to implement the cage policy, quickly establish a pro-Japanese regime, promote the certificate of good citizenship, and separate the common people. For ordinary people, it is necessary to publicize the goodwill between Japan and China, restore the schools in the occupied areas, add Japanese language courses, and popularize the experience of Manchukuo's governance. Economically, it is necessary to take two-handed actions: one is to restore and consolidate the economic order in the occupied areas, encourage and protect the common people to develop production, and strictly prohibit the arbitrary killing of civilians and looting; On the other hand, it was a large-scale burning, killing and looting of the base areas of the Eighth Route Army, destroying the material foundation on which the Eighth Route Army depended. Liu Yimin wants us to become a poor egg, let's make him a poor egg first! ”

These words are tantamount to Tada Jun's policy program in North China, and several old devils applauded again and again when they heard it, and admired His Excellency the commander from the bottom of their hearts.

Tada Jun was still unsatisfied, took a sip of water, and continued: "There is another flaw in the battle this week, that is, it has not taken advantage of the discord between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. The Eighth Route Army ran away, and even the place also ran away. Where does this work? At the beginning, I used to take advantage of the conflict between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. Ordered all troops, when carrying out the task of sweeping dàng, to strike first at the local armed forces, force them to surrender, and help us fight the Eighth Route Army after reorganization. It is necessary to openly recruit surrenders, post notices, and the imperial army should incorporate all armed forces and be treated favorably. You can let Li Wenli and others come forward and contact the local armed forces hiding in the mountains, let them surrender and accept the adaptation, and destroy them if they don't surrender to the imperial army! ”

Hirata reported that the head of Jinan's secret service, Ohashi Xiongxiong, had been in contact with Qin Qirong, commander of the Third Guerrilla Column, who was also the person in charge of the Fuxing Society in Shandong, and had a good relationship with Li Wenli, and we had spies by his side. Qin Qirong was single-minded, but he graduated from Whampoa, and was unwilling to surrender openly, and was only willing to secretly assist the imperial army in fighting the Eighth Route Army. And his strength is limited.

Tada Jun frowned and thought for a while, and replied that there must be many people like Qin Qirong, loyal to Chiang Kai-shek, and opposed. It is okay to give special treatment to these people, and if they are unwilling to surrender, let them come out boldly with confidence, and divide defense zones for them, let them occupy territory under the banner of political power, and squeeze the space for activities on the Tuba Road. Didn't Chiang Kai-shek give an order to defend against the Communists? Our goals are the same. As long as they fight the Eighth Route Army, everything can be negotiated and resolved.

The problem that plagued Masaki Hirata and the Japanese secret service was solved by Tada Jun at once, and Hirata Masaki was very happy, and his face was full of life, and he happily reported to His Excellency the Commander that he was wise, and asked His Excellency the Commander to wait and hear the good news!

Tada Jun nodded, and then explained to Yoshizumi Ryosuke and Hirata Masa: "Urge the Twelfth Army and the Shandong Provincial Government to appoint local officials in a timely manner, recruit police, and establish a local security team." We must pay close attention to this work, because there are not enough manpower, and we can recruit from Beiping, Tianjin, Shijiazhuang, Jinan, Qingdao, and other places. There are many unemployed hooligans and smokers and prostitutes in big cities, and they still disturb public order in the cities, and if they are sent to Shandong, the scourge of the Eighth Route Army can be regarded as waste utilization. ”

Yoshizumi Ryosuke didn't look down on Tada Jun very much in the past, but today he has learned Tada Jun's power, and he admires it in his heart, and he feels that every move and style of Tada Jun is extremely vicious, and the moves are all at the vital point of the Eighth Route Army. This time, the Eighth Route Army in North China was doomed to be completely finished.

Yoshizumi suggested that the experience of Manchukuo could be used to impose a joint law on the recruited urban unemployed hooligans and control their relatives. These guys have no sense of morality, and they may surrender to the Eighth Route Army at any time, and they have to be made clear that as long as they dare to surrender, they will kill his parents and relatives. In this way, they can't fight to the death if they want to.

Tada Jun nodded, and ordered Yo Nishi, ordering Yoshizumi Ryosuke and Hirata Masatsu to be responsible for supervising the execution.

After all the discussions were over, Tada Jun immediately issued the order to launch the Battle of Lunan, and the Japanese army began to jump up.

After giving the order, Tada Jun personally drove to inspect the defense of Beiping. There was no way, traces of the activities of the Eighth Route Army were found in the west and north of Beiping, and he had to guard against it.

The Japanese army rushed to Shandong, and only the Beiping garrison, the troops directly under the North China Front, the military police, a part of the special forces of the 110th Division, and a group of the North China Public Security Army were stationed in Beiping.

Tada Jun first inspected Nanyuan Airport and Xiyuan Airport, where he had dinner with the soldiers of the garrison and helped the officers find out the weak links in the defense. Then, Tada Jun inspected the fortifications of the Beiping garrison and the puppet security army, personally inspected the field of view and firing boundary of the shooting holes of the pillboxes, and also inspected the standards for digging trench fortifications, and taught a soldier of the security army how to shoot the empty soil outside the trenches firmly.

The method taught by Tada Junjiao is very simple, that is, to pour water on the void soil, wait for the water to soak and then shoot it solidly, and when the night freezes, it will naturally be very strong, and it will not be afraid of bullets hurting people through the void soil.

After the inspection, Tada Jun felt that the troops in the Pingjin area were indeed a little weak, and in case of an accident, something would happen. Therefore, after Tada Jun's inspection, he had to order the 110th Division to end its combat mission in Luxi, return to the Pingjin area, sweep the Pingxi and Pingbei areas, and strengthen the garrison in the Pingjin area.

Dear book friends: The mountain people finally sent their friends away today, and there is a shift in the evening. Thank you all for your support! ro！
