Chapter 887: Unified Command (continued)
Mobile phone synchronization address:
The night of October 9, 1939 was an extremely important night in the history of Shandong's Anti-Japanese War. After completely annihilating the main force of the 10th Division rebuilt by the Japanese army, Liu Yimin held a joint operations meeting in the county seat of Feixian County overnight to discuss the issue of unified command with the generals of Yu Xuezhong's department. Under the sudden onslaught, Tada Jun, commander of the Japanese North China Front, was considering and studying the mobilization of heavy troops to carry out retaliatory operations against our army. The strings on both sides are very tight, very tight.
After Yoshisumi Ryosuke, the chief adviser of the Japanese North China Front, sent a telegram to the base camp in accordance with Tadajun's order, Tada immediately asked him to find out from the archives the battle plan for the encirclement and suppression of Shandong by Terauchi Shouichi's heavy troops, and to study and formulate a new battle plan for the North China Front's heavy troops to sweep the Shandong Eighth Route Army from the North China Front.
The chief adviser of the faint army, Hirata Masa, reminded Tada Jun that judging from the battle report released by the Chiang Kai-shek government, the Lunan operation should be dominated by Yu Xuezhong's Sulu theater. Therefore, when formulating the battle plan, should the focus of the attack be on Yu Xuezhongbu?
Tada Jun did not serve as the commander of the North China Front for a long time, but he intervened in the heavy army sweeping operation organized by Terauchi Shouichi, and he was very familiar with the balance of forces between the enemy and us in the Shandong battlefield. Hirata was sentenced to be an adviser to the North China Front for a short time, but he did not know enough about the actual strength of the Eighth Route Army, and the tools he knew came from written materials. That's why such stupid words are uttered.
Tada Jun didn't bother to reprimand Hirata, but just told him that Shandong was not suitable for other places, and the Eighth Route Army was very powerful. Yu Xuezhong's department and the Kuomintang were not well armed, and an elite division cleaned them up. This time, the battle plan was formulated, and the goal of the operation was to eliminate the main force of Liu Yimin's instructor, arm the Xuezhong Department and the Kuomintang premises, and mainly force them to surrender, force them to join the North China Public Security Army, and be the vanguard of the Imperial Army's attack on the Eighth Route Army. Therefore, the battle plan 1 should be meticulous, including how to exploit the contradictions between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.
Hirata Masatsumi knew that he had made a fool of himself in front of the commander, so he went to make a cup of coffee for Tada Jun in person, and respectfully served it, saying that he asked His Excellency the commander to taste it, which could refresh him.
Tada Jun really needs a pick-me-up, and he finishes a cup of coffee in one go, regardless of whether it's hot or not. Hirata Masa lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry for your trouble, please take care of me" took the coffee cup in Takada's hand and ran to study the battle plan.
Before Tada Jun had cleared up, Mori Gang, the head of the special service of the North China Front, and Shimoda Murori, the director of the North China Front's Railways, shouted outside the door of the war room.
Yoshi-11 Sadasa turned out to be Kita Seiichi's assistant. After Kita Seiichi was transferred to the commander of the rebuilt 14th Division, the secret service of the North China Front was vacant. When Shanshan Yuan was the commander of the North China Front, he was always in charge of the affairs of the special services of the front army. After Tada Jun took office, Muto Akira was also transferred back to Japan, so he had no choice but to report to the advisory headquarters, and promoted Mori Gang, deputy chief of the special service agency of the North China Front, to be the head of the special service of the front army, and appointed Kita Seiichi's assistant Yoshishi-11 Sadazo to be the head of the special service of the five provinces in North China.
Tada's idea was that Morioka would preside over the army's spy work, and Yoshishi-11 Sadazo would preside over the spy work in the five provinces of North China. Among them, the special service department of the North China Front Army in the main well of Sengang was set up in the headquarters of the front army, and the headquarters of the special service organs of the five provinces in North China presided over by Ji 11 Zhenzuo were moved from Tianjin to Henan and set up in the Shaanxi and Gansu Guild Hall in Kaijing.
Morioka and Shimoda came to find Tada Jun, but nothing good.
The Ministry of Railways of the North China Front Army under Shimoda Muroli was responsible for railway transportation in North China, and its subordinates included the Pinghan Road Railway Garrison, the Jinpu Road Railway Garrison, the Longhai Road Railway Garrison, the Jiaoji Road Railway Garrison, the Tongpu Road Railway Garrison, and the Zhengtai Road Railway Garrison, all of which were established on the scale of a wing. He came to Tada Jun to tell about the interruption of transportation on Jinpu Road and Longhai Road, and asked His Excellency the Commander to send additional troops as soon as possible to clear out the Eighth Route Army that had destroyed railway transportation and resume railway transportation.
In order to enhance his persuasiveness, Shimoda Murori took a notebook and recorded the number of materials transported to Japan by rail each year. It is stated that if rail transport is not allowed to be resumed,
If coal, ore, and cotton from North China cannot be shipped back to Japan, many local factories may have to close their doors, and residents may even have no gas for cooking, bathing water, and raw materials, and the textile factories will not even be able to take care of the production of military uniforms.
Originally, the lower field room also wanted to say that it was best to transport the grain from North China back to Japan. But after thinking about it, he didn't say anything, the reason was that he knew that the grain had been robbed by the Eighth Route Army, and the North China Front Army still couldn't fill its stomach, so it had to rely on the transfer of grain from Central China, Manchuria and the mainland!
Tada Jun was not polite to Shimoda Muroli, and he had a big pus. The railway garrison, which has six wings of military strength, even has to make the field department think that he is guarding the railway, and the face of the Great Japanese Empire has made him and his railway department and the railway garrison completely lost. Rather than this, it is better to gather these railway garrisons and hand them over to the field army for management and use to clear the Eighth Route Army.
Shimoda Muroli listened to Tada's reprimand, and then argued that although the railway garrison was the size of the wing, its military strength could not be compared with that of the field wing, and that the field wing was three brigades, each with four infantry squadrons. The railway garrison had only two battalions per wing, each with three infantry squadrons. It's like the Jinpu Road garrison, with more than 1,700 people guarding the 1,000-kilometer railway line from Tianjin to Pudong, with less than two people per kilometer. Not to mention the Eighth Route Army, even a farmer can easily cross the railway defense. Jinpu Road is too long and there is no comparison, take Jiaoji Road as an example, the whole field is 395 kilometers, there are many stations along the way, and the Jiaoji Road garrison team 1
More than 700 people, with an average of four people per kilometer. The Eighth Route Army is so domineering, what can such a garrison force do? Moreover, the armament of the railway garrison was very poor, there were no artillery, no combat vehicles, and even grenadiers and heavy machine guns were pitiful. How can an army so equipped be able to move around the opponents of the Eighth Route Army with a few artillery regiments at every turn? This is the root source and root gene of the Eighth Route Army's disregard of railway defense as nothing.
In the end, Shimoda Muroli came to the conclusion that the root source of the root gene was that the Chinese army was too large and the imperial army was too small.
Tada Jun wanted to laugh angrily, but he couldn't laugh, so he had to wave his hand and drive down the Tanmuro force.
However, Tada told Shimoda Murori that the debt to Jinpu Road and Longhai Road was only temporary, and the Front Army was determined to buy Jinpu Road and Longhai Road soon. However, the Eighth Route Army is likely to repeat its old tactics and remove all the rails and sleepers. His Excellency Shimoda should report to the base camp as soon as possible. Mobilize rails and sleepers to prepare for emergency repairs.
After Shimoda Muroli left, Mori Gang, the head of the special service of the North China Front, reported that he had received a report from Nanzao Yunzi, who was in charge of investigating the tragedy of the Zhengyou Commercial Bank in Zaozhuang, that Zaozhuang had been captured by the Eighth Route Army.
She had already taken advantage of the chaos to escape and was ready to go to Xuzhou.
Tada Jun snorted, hinting that he knew.
Mori then recounted that, in accordance with the instructions of the commander, "the First and Twelfth Armies have been contacted to select personnel and proceed with the formation of a marching force." At the same time, the secret service organs are preparing to set up a large number of training classes for spies in three categories: open, semi-open, and covert, to recruit young people from China to receive training, to carry out large-scale infiltration of the base areas of the Eighth Route Army, and to carry out such tasks as plotting rebellion, assassination, and poisoning. In addition, the secret services are prepared to organize forces to cooperate extensively with the operations of the combat army. There are two main points in the specific style, one is to act in advance. When the Imperial Army was preparing to attack a certain Eighth Route Army base area, the special agent squad entered first1 to reconnoiter the terrain and adopt methods such as camouflaging the Eighth Route Army to distribute food and money, spreading rumors, poisoning, and creating chaos, which aroused Lao Cangsheng's disgust with the Eighth Route Army and divided the relationship between Lao Cangsheng and the Eighth Route Army.
Second, when the imperial army captured the base area of the Eighth Route Army, the Xuanfu class entered at the same time to "publicize the imperial army's methods of reassuring the people, calm and calm people's hearts, and drive the fleeing old people to return to their homes and live and produce with peace of mind."
Morioka's words came to Tada's heart!
A smile finally appeared on Tada's thin face, and he patted Morioka on the shoulder and said Yo Xi, let him stop and do it. China is such a big country, there are many people, some people resist Japan, and some people are willing to cooperate with the imperial army. The key is to organize people who are willing to cooperate with the Imperial Army, "Give it a friend who is full of Imperial Army, and see what else the Eighth Route Army can do?"
Tada Jun told Mori Gang that the focus of his work was on Shanxi and Shandong, especially Shandong, and that he must do everything possible to penetrate into the interior of the Eighth Route Army and provide accurate information to the Imperial Army. In the case of the main force of the 10th Division, it is not the warriors of the 10th Division who should really be held responsible, but the special agency in charge of intelligence work. Well, think about how Admiral Fukushima Yasumasa and Admiral Genjiro Akashi did intelligence work during the Russo-Japanese War in the past, and then think about how Lieutenant General Kenji Dohihara did intelligence work during the Manchurian Incident, please don't let them be ashamed!
In the end, Tada Jun told Mori Gang that he should be good at being friends with the Chinese people, like Yan Xishan in Shanxi, if he does not surrender, it does not mean that his subordinates will not surrender either, and he can bypass him and directly contact the commanders, division commanders, and regiment commanders of the Jin Sui Army. Like Yu Xuezhong in Shandong, he and the Eighth Route Army were mixed together to fight the imperial army, which was really hateful. Be sure to send someone to infiltrate Yu Xuezhong's department, make friends with his army commander, division commander, brigade commander, and regiment commander, and let them understand that if they follow Liu Yimin, they will be annexed sooner or later. Only by cooperating with the Imperial Army is the fundamental future. Yu Xuezhong's department was the Northeast Army, and he could think of looking for their relatives from Manchuria and finding them to do work. Ask for money for money, ask for women for women, and ask for official positions for official positions. The purpose of the entire intelligence work in North China was only one, that is, to serve the imperial army in the elimination of the Eighth Route Army.
After Mori Gang left, Tada Jun's "Xing" spirit had not retreated, and he praised Mori Gang for his ability, and the proud and arrogant guy of the confrontation Fuji Zhang was much more pragmatic and capable.
Tada Jun, who was overly excited, asked Lieutenant General Toshitoshi Kinoshita, head of the Third Flying Group, to take off his fighter plane early tomorrow and carry out reconnaissance in the areas of southern Shandong, northwest Shandong, southwestern Shandong, and Jinan, so as to cover the operations of various armies. In particular, in the Lunan region, it is necessary to dispatch large aircraft groups without interruption to cover the shrinking military strength of the garrison in the Lunan area.
This time, Tada Jun made a heart, and he said to Yoshizumi Ryosuke that the main force of the 10th Division, the jade shattering, was a bad thing, but it was necessary to use this matter to make a fuss, win the support of the base camp, increase troops to Shandong, and completely eliminate Liu Yimin's instructor. Shanghai, Nanjing, and Wuhan have all been captured, will the Great Japanese Empire still be afraid of Xiaoxiaojing Liu Yimin?
Yoshizumi Ryosuke felt that Tian Jun had a lot of reason to say, so he asked the 27th Division to stay in Jining.
Is the army of Yanzhou, Surabaya, and Quzhuo going to shrink in Tai'an as soon as possible?
Tada Jun shook his head and told Yoshizumi Ryosuke that the main force of the 27th Division would quickly withdraw to the defensive ground under the cover of aircraft tomorrow, shrink the army, resolutely hold on to the county seats, fight with the Eighth Route Army, and fight until the last soldier must not retreat. The occupied areas must never be surrendered to the Eighth Route Army. It is necessary to tell Lieutenant General Masayan Honma to take care of the area around the county where all the various armed forces supported by the Imperial Army and all the government personnel at all levels have shrunk. These people are the key to consolidating the occupied areas, and the Eighth Route Army must not be allowed to treat them as Han Jian. Lu Nanbiao's purpose is also the same, to contact all the local regimes, armed forces, including those Lianzhuang associations, gun clubs, and gangs, and ask them to retreat to Xuzhou under the cover of aircraft. Waiting for the imperial army to come back is to follow back and leave.
Tada Jun's move is more clever than Terauchi Shouichi and Shanshan Moto, which is also his experience in summing up the rapid deterioration of the public security situation in Shandong. Tada Jun found that Liu Yimin's division did not fit in with other squadrons, and it was not in line with the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi. Liu Yimin's troops never let go of the political power and armed forces supported by the secret services and the imperial army, just like cutting wheat, cutting down a piece of wheat with a brush, and not even a single wheat straw was left. In this way, the intelligence network of the imperial army is gone, the friends of the imperial army are gone, there is no one to help the imperial army, and the imperial army has become deaf and blind. The intelligence superiority of the Japanese Army, which it is proud of, has been lost, and it has naturally become beaten at every turn.
Now that Liu Yi's main force is in Lunan, the target of the attack is clear. Tada Jun decided to wait for the base camp to call back, and began to get rid of the Eighth Route Army in Shandong.
At this time, the combat meeting between the Eighth Route Army and Yu Xuezhong's Department in Philadelphia County was still going on.
After Cai Zhong spoke, Yu Xuezhong couldn't sit still, and hurriedly explained: "Master Liu, Political Commissar Luo,
Director Cai, we just wanted Chairman Jiang to know the good news earlier, but we didn't expect the chairman to directly announce the battle report. No one is to blame for this, but I am not to blame for not thinking it through. ”
As soon as Yu Xuezhong said this, Cai Zhong said more on this issue, and then said: "Commander-in-Chief Yu, generals: In this Lunan operation, your two armies sincerely united, unified orders, and unified actions have achieved such a great victory. The next battle will be more brutal, and we will not study individual cases and unify the command of the two armies, so that it will be more conducive to cooperating with the operation. ”
