Chapter 708: It's an empty city
Chapter 708 turned out to be an empty city
After being shot, Naosaburo Okabe was rushed to the field hospital of the 1st Division for treatment. The captain of the Japanese military police led the military dog and led a group of military police to search the surroundings, hoping to find the murderer of the assassin of the lieutenant general of the Gangbu. After searching and searching, not even a single bullet casing could be found, and the captain of the gendarmerie had to report to Lieutenant General Keisuke Fujie, commander of the 16th Division, and asked for measures to be taken to assist in the arrest of the murderer.
After such a big thing happened, Fujie Keisuke no longer dared to shirk the blame, and hurriedly reported to the North China Front and the Kwantung Army Headquarters, and rushed to Chenghuangmiao Lane with the garrison of the 16th Division in the city to stop the fighting between the 2nd and 5th Divisions.
In view of the large number of troops gathered in Suxian City, and the fact that two armed battles had just taken place and that there were heavy casualties, Fujie Keisuke, after an emergency meeting with several division commanders, decided to assemble each unit on the spot as a brigade unit and count the number of people. The military police of all divisions and regiments gathered together and gave unified command to quickly interrogate the surviving soldiers involved in the fighting and find out the reasons for the fighting.
Li Lingfeng and they pretended to be Japanese soldiers to create chaos, this kind of thing actually could not stand up to scrutiny, and it only took about two xiǎo hours for the gendarmerie to lock the culprit on the patrol of the 16th Division, because the wounded soldiers who survived the scene of the two weapons fights confirmed that the patrol of the 16th Division had gone to the scene to suppress it.
Then the problem quickly came to light, the corpses of the 16th Division patrol were found at the scene of the 16th Division and the Guards Division's armed fight, and the 2nd and 5th Division's armed fighting sites did not even find a single wounded soldier of the 16th Division's regimental patrol.
The 16th Division became the focus of the inventory. In this investigation, it was discovered that Mukai Mingmin led a team out of the city to train and died in battle. The Japanese military police immediately understood that the more than 30 artillery soldiers who carried Xiang Jing Mingmin's body back to Suzhou City, Bacheng was disguised by Tubalu, and the two arms fights should have been provoked by them. Without them, even if the Japanese army ordered soldiers to fight in groups, there would definitely not be any use of guns to kill each other, let alone the killing of the lieutenant general of the Gangbu Division.
Fujie Keisuke couldn't understand why the Eighth Route Army liked to disguise the troops of the 16th Division so much to create incidents. Do they particularly like the 16th Division?
Keisuke Fujie, who couldn't figure it out, ordered the gendarmes to arrest the commander of the 22nd Field Artillery Wing and the captain of Mukai Akitoshi's brigade, and prepared to bury Lieutenant General Okabe Naosaburo as soon as Lieutenant General Okabe Naosaburo was loyal to His Majesty the Emperor. Then, Fujie Keisuke ordered the gendarmerie to take the lead in searching the whole city for the remnants of Mukai Mingtoshi's squadron, to see people alive and corpses to death.
Of course, the living could not be seen, and the dead were soon found. The Japanese military dogs helped the gendarmerie when they found the bodies of Mukai Akitoshi and his three xiǎo captains lying on the cold ground in the backyard of the former Pseudo-Su County Garrison Corps. Although the identity tags of the three people were gone, the officers and soldiers of the 22nd Field Artillery Wing definitely identified the deceased as Mukai Mingmin and others.
After the truth was revealed, Keisuke Fujie, the commander of the Guards Division, Shojiro Iida, the commander of the Second Division, Toji Yasui, and the commander of the Fifth Division, Imamura, all rushed to the field hospital of the First Division.
Liu Bin's shot did not kill Lieutenant General Naosaburo Gangbe. Because it was dark and the distance was far away, the penetration of the 38 big cover bullets was strong and the destructive power was insufficient, Li Lingfeng set off for Suzhou City after they solved Xiang Jing Mingmin's squadron in Zhuxianzhuang, and Liu Bin did not have time to do technical processing of the bullets.
When Keisuke Fujie and the others rushed to the field hospital of the 1st Division, Naosaburo Okabe had already woken up and was lying on the marching chuáng with a depressed face.
Seeing that Naosaburo Okabe was safe and sound, Keisuke Fujie and the others finally landed on the ground and began to comfort Naosaburo Okabe. Keisuke Fujie even said the words "If you don't die in a big disaster, you will have a blessing in the future", but the lieutenant general of the post department still had a gloomy face and did not have a trace of joy.
Keisuke Fujie, who was unable to grasp the essentials, took advantage of the opportunity of Shojiro Iida, Fujiji Yasui, and Imamura to talk with Naosaburo Okabe, and quietly went to the military medical officer to inquire about the injuries of Lieutenant General Okabe. This question, Fujie Keisuke couldn't help but laugh secretly, it turned out that Gangbe-kun's injury was very special, and the assassin's bullet was coincidental and knocked out Gangbe-kun's shēngzhí device, and then Gangbe-kun could no longer love himself and gallop on his belly, and he was going to become a eunuch in the Chinese court!
When Keisuke Fujie returned to Okabe's sickbed, his face was unfazed, and he still had the same sad expression of deep sympathy for Okabe-kun's assassination, and no one else realized that this guy knew a secret that couldn't help but laugh.
This is the advantage of being born under the name Mén, Fujie Keisuke's father-in-law is the first veteran of the Japanese Navy, and he is naturally accustomed to the tricks of intrigue in officialdom and knows how to disguise himself.
Fujie Keisuke didn't know that no matter how smart he was in disguise, he couldn't escape the eyes of Naosaburo Okabe. This guy is used to playing yīn tricks with General Terauchi Shouichi, and even such a powerful Itagaki Seishiro was killed by him and Terauchi Shouichi, how could he not think about what Keisuke Fujie was doing when he went out?
Naosaburo Okabe endured the pain and ordered the troops to set off for the north after dawn. The 16th Division was ordered to ensure the safety between Suxian and Xuzhou, and to ensure that there would be no more accidents during the march of the large army. As for himself, his injuries were basically under control, and he went north with the 1st Division.
After Naosaburo Okabe gave the order, several division commanders rushed out and went their own way. Okabe Naosaburo lay down for a while, called the military medical officer, and asked what Keisuke Fujie had just done.
The military medical officer is a medical doctor, and his mind is full of medical knowledge, but what he lacks is experience in deceit. Seeing that His Excellency the head of the division inquired, he reported that Fujie Keisuke had asked him about the operation in 1510. If he denied that Keisuke Fujie had approached him, maybe he would still be able to live, and if he said it honestly, his life would have come to an end.
As soon as the military medical officer went out, Naosaburo Gangbe called the guards, and Jiāo was about to say that the military medical officer had leaked important secrets and was immediately executed on the spot.
After hearing a gunshot outside Mén, Naosaburo Okabe called the staff officer on duty, and Jiāo was waiting to pay the family of the military medical officer according to the standard of the war dead. Then, Naosaburo Gangbe dictated a telegram to the commander of the North China Front, Shanshan Yuan, reporting that he needed to return to the mainland to recuperate due to his injuries, and asked the North China Front Command to directly command the divisions and regiments in the north. Then, Naosaburo Okabe dictated a telegram to Kenkichi Ueda, commander of the Kwantung Army, requesting His Excellency the commander to immediately prepare urgent replenishment of ammunition and supplies for the 1st, 2nd, and 23rd divisions. In particular, priority should be given to replenishing ammunition, gasoline and food. As for the supply of other divisions and regiments, Naosaburo Gangbu did not mention a word, it was all a matter for the North China Front Command, and it should be considered by Shanshan Yuan.
After sending these two telegrams, Naosaburo Gangbu sent another telegram to General Terauchi Shouichi, a military counselor who was sitting on a cold bench in Tokyo, reporting on the current war situation in North China and stating the reason for retaining the 16th Division as a garrison force on Jinpu Road in the Suxian area, that is, the main movement of Instructor Liu Yimin's instructor was unknown, and it was necessary for a permanent division like the 16th Division to stay in the northeastern Anhui region to defend it.
This Gangbu Naosaburo hoped that Terauchi Shouichi would exert influence on the base camp and keep the 16th Division in Suxian County, because he had always had a lingering thought in his heart, that is, Liu Yimin was likely to hide in this northeastern region of Anhui and assassinate his Eighth Route Army, maybe it was the jīng Rui team under Liu Yimin's command. As long as Liu Yimin is here, Keisuke Fujie may not escape death. In this way, the secret of being knocked out can not be leaked.
Gangbu Naosaburo engaged in this series of xiǎo actions, which was extremely inconsistent with his identity, and his performance as chief of staff of the North China Front Army was simply like two people. This was all caused by Liu Bin shooting out the Gang Bu Naosaburo shēngzhí, which made the heart of Gangbu Jun, who had always been optimistic about the Japanese army, distorted.
When he received the telegram from Naosaburo Gangbe, Sugi Motoshi was anxious about the defense of the Pingjin area. Originally, Shanshan Yuan had already sent a telegram to the base camp, asking the base camp to transfer the main force of the Kwantung Army to the south to participate in the battle, form a flanking attack with the heavy army group on the southern front, and completely eliminate the main force of the Eighth Route Army that captured Cangxian. However, I don't know if it was the reason of the commander of the Kwantung Army, Kenkichi Ueda, or the fact that the base camp was obsessed with fighting against the Soviet Union, the Kwantung Army did not take any action. In this way, although the Eighth Route Army did not send a large force to attack the Pingjin area, Shanshanyuan still felt great pressure, for fear that Liu Yimin would give him another attempt to capture Tianjin, and in that case, his old face would be completely gone.
If you don't come to reinforcements, the defense of the Pingjin area has to be strengthened, and Shanshan Yuan has to find a way by himself. This old devil adopted the old method used by Shouichi Terauchi to arm all the Japanese expatriates in the Pingjin area to help defend the city. He also asked the North China security army to arrest Ding everywhere and rush to repair the city fortifications, and they were very busy.
After reading the telegram from Naosaburo Gangbe, Shanshan Yuan originally wanted to send Chief of Staff Yamashita Fengfu to Xuzhou by plane to take over the command of Naosaburo Gangbe. But after thinking about it, the North China Front is now in a difficult period, and it is very difficult to raise supplies, and the first division, the second division, and the 23rd division all belong to the Kwantung Army sequence, and we have to ask Okabe Naosaburo to ask General Ueda Kenkichi for supplies! Therefore, Shanshan Yuan directly sent a telegram back to Gangbu Naosaburo, asking Gangbu Jun to focus on the Great East Asian Holy War, treat with the army, and command all divisions and regiments to quickly go north, eliminate the Eighth Route Army around Dexian, and recapture Cangxian.
When Kenkichi Ueda received the telegram from Naosaburo Okabe, he was already resting. This old devil, and Shouichi Terauchi and Shanshan Yuan are all the way, and they are very greedy for money and greedy. He is now the emperor of the northeast, and he can do whatever he wants. No, tonight he summoned a descendant of White Russia to turn the phoenix on the chuáng.
Although the old devil Ueda Kenkichi is full of heart, after all, he is older, and the size of that thing is also xiǎo, and he can't satisfy the tall and tall Belarusian NV at all.
The white Russian and American NV looked dissatisfied, and put his hand on Ueda Kenkichi, hoping to revive his strength. As a result, Róu rubbed back and forth, and Ueda Kenkichi was as weak as an earthworm, and he just couldn't get hard. In the end, the Belarusian and American NV gave up their efforts and mocked Kenkichi Ueda in stiff Japanese for his inadequateness in his work!
Men are most afraid of saying no. Ueda Kenkichi is a man, and he is a man with heavy troops and power, and after listening to the words of Bai Omei NV, he was ashamed, so he got up and went to the chōu drawer, found a pill that Puyi gave him, and drank it according to the Manchu court saint yào, and then lay down on the chuáng and waited for the yào to take effect.
Ueda Kenkichi lay down for about ten minutes, and he didn't feel any reaction at all, so he scolded Pu Yi for lying to him, and his conscience was greatly broken. Actually, I don't blame Pu Yi, if that yào worked, Pu Yi's concubine would not divorce him. Besides, Ueda Kenkichi is 65 years old this year, and his mustache is gray, and no yào can help him.
When the embarrassed Ueda Kenkichi was in trouble on the chuáng, the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, Lieutenant General Isoya Ryosuke, came to his rescue.
This Ryosuke Isoya turned out to be the commander of the 10th Division. When the instructor of the Eighth Route Army eliminated the 10th Division in Binxian County, Ryosuke Isoya had already received the news that he was about to be appointed chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, and he hid in Dexian County to command remotely and escaped. After the destruction of the main force of the 10th Division, it stands to reason that Ryosuke Isoya should apologize for his crimes, but there have been more and more shameless Japanese generals in recent years, and there are many Lieutenant General Ryosuke Isoya, who insisted on relying on his relationship with Emperor Hirohito, and quietly stayed in the northeast to serve as chief of staff of the Kwantung Army.
Ryosuke Isoya came to Kenkichi Ueda for a telegram from Naosaburo Okabe.
Ueda Kenkichi was in trouble because he couldn't satisfy the Belarusian and American NV, and as soon as Ryosuke Isoya reported, he immediately got up, put on a military uniform, and followed Ryosuke Isoya to the war room.
After reading the telegram, Kenkichi Ueda asked Ryosuke Isoya for advice.
Because the 10th Division was annihilated by the instructors of the Eighth Route Army, Ryosuke Isoya has always had a bitter hatred for the Eighth Route Army, and he is eager to wipe out all the Eighth Route Army in North China. However, now that his identity has changed and he has become the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, he must first stand on the position of the Kwantung Army when considering the problem. Therefore, he suggested that General Ueda Kenkichi immediately order an urgent replenishment of the 1st, 2nd, and 23rd Divisions to ensure that Cangxian could be recaptured and the Eighth Route Army that captured Cangxian could be annihilated. At the same time, Ryosuke Isoya implored Commander Kenkichi Ueda to consider whether it was possible to propose to the base camp that the 1st, 2nd, and 23rd Divisions be repatriated. The reason was that the three divisions had suffered huge losses in North China, and although they had been urgently replenished, they urgently needed to drive back to Manchuria to recuperate. The other most crucial reason was that the Soviet Union had massed a large number of troops in the Far East, and if something happened, the Kwantung Army would be taken by surprise. Manchuria is the foundation of the interests of the great Japanese mainland, and there must be no loss.
Ueda Kenkichi didn't have a good impression of Okabe Naosaburo in the first place, believing that it was Okabe Naosaburo and Terauchi Shouichi who used their trickery to relieve Kyosuke Kawamura of his military power. Lieutenant General Kyosuke Kawamura has been working with Kenkichi Ueda for a long time, and the relationship between the people is very good, and Kenkichi Ueda has always been obsessed with this.
After Ryosuke Isoya finished speaking, Ueda Kenkichi muttered: "The North China Front army has consumed a lot of materials, and there are many soldiers who have lost a battle. The Japanese Empire must be dragged down by them! ”
Ryosuke Isoya is an expert in defeating battles in the North China Front, and after listening to Kenkichi Ueda's words, Ryosuke Isoya's face turned a little red. But that was only a momentary thing, if this old devil really still had a sense of shame, he would have apologized a long time ago.
After Ueda Kenkichi muttered, after thinking about it for a while, he waited for Ryosuke Isoya to organize supplies immediately and report to the base camp that after recapturing Cangxian, the 1st, 2nd, and 23rd divisions must be transferred back to Manchuria to prepare for the war against the Soviet Union.
After all, Ueda Kenkichi is the commander of the Kwantung Army, and he still has a sense of the overall situation. He just doesn't like Naosaburo Gangbu anymore, and he has to think about the 1st Division, 2nd Division, and 23rd Division, and he can't let the soldiers even be unable to eat!
After Jiāo was finished, Ueda Kenkichi suddenly felt that his abdomen was hot, and his heart was overjoyed, knowing that it might be that Yào had worked, and he didn't want to talk to Isoya Ryosuke anymore, so he went back to the bedroom in a panic.
Although Ryosuke Isoya didn't know that Kenkichi Ueda ate yào, he knew that Kenkichi Ueda had a snow-white white Russian-American NV on his chuáng, so he naturally knew the reason why His Excellency the Commander ran to the bedroom in high spirits. He couldn't help but swallow, said something very vulgar that he didn't know where he learned, and went to work.
After dawn the next day, the Japanese army began a large-scale northward march. With a loud rumble at the Jiagou station, the Japanese troops who planned to go north by train had to change their way to the north, and they were greeted by the cold guns and mines of the Eighth Route Army.
When the Japanese army rushed to Dexian after all the hardships, they found that the Eighth Route Army had long since disappeared. All the positions were used by the Eighth Route Army to divert the Japanese Army Aviation to consume valuable aerial bombs.
The Japanese army, who did not give up, put on a posture of encircling and annihilating the Eighth Route Army in Cangxian County, and several divisions and regiments divided into routes and outflanked them in a roundabout way, forming an encirclement outside Cangzhou City. Then, under the cover of the aircraft, a centripetal attack began. When the Japanese army rushed into Cangzhou City and put the ointment yào flag on the castle building, Naosaburo Okabe, Shojiro Iida, Toji Yasui, and Imamura all received reports that the Eighth Route Army had fled!
Cangzhou turned out to be an empty city.
Standing on the city wall of Cangzhou, Naosaburo Gangbe, who had basically recovered, had a gloomy face, his eyes looked at the distant sky, and let out a very slight sigh.
The commander of the Fifth Division, Imamura, was more impulsive, unable to accept the fact that Cangzhou was an empty city, so he pulled out his command knife and howled like a wolf.
How could Shanshanyuan in Beiping City know the feelings of these division commanders who were led by the nose by the Eighth Route Army, and couldn't wait to hold a press conference to proudly announce that the Japanese army had successfully recovered Cangxian. He also fabricated lies, saying that the Japanese army besieged and annihilated the Eighth Route Army besieging the city under the city of Dexian County, killing and wounding the Eighth Route Army, etc. He also swore that the Eighth Route Army that captured Cangxian County was blown up by imperial fighters and heavy artillery, and the corpses covered the walls and every street of Cangzhou City. The Imperial Army, another great victory!
