The winter morning in Peking is bitterly cold.

Tada Jun, commander of the North China Front, got up in the morning and washed up briefly, went to the office, sat down at his desk, and asked Chief of Staff Yoshizumi Ryosuke to send a report to the base camp, the General Headquarters of the Dispatch Army of China, and the Headquarters of the Kwantung Army, urging them to send supplies as soon as possible.

It is no wonder that although the Japanese army recovered Shimen and Qingdao, the ammunition, food, medicine and other supplies stored in Shimen and Qingdao were all transported away by the Eighth Route Army.

The supplies transported by Tianjin are far from meeting the needs of such a huge army, and Tada Jun will only be in a hurry if he is not in a hurry!

The telegrams from the base camp, the headquarters of the dispatch army of the [China] country, and the Kwantung Army had not yet arrived, and the telegrams for the transfer of troops arrived first. The base camp was to transfer the 1st Guards Division and the 2nd Guards Division back to China. The command of the Chinese Dispatch Army should transfer the 5th Division and the Taiwan Mixed Brigade to Guangzhou and return to the command of the 21st Army: transfer the 6th Division and the 9th Division to Wuhan and return the 11th Army to the 11th Army: transfer the 15th Division and the 22nd Division to return the 13th Army: transfer the 1st, 5th, and 7th Brigades to return to northern Jiangsu. The Kwantung Army was to transfer the 11th Division, the 12th Division, the 28th Division,

The 29th Division returned to Manchuria.

Tada Jun was annoyed when he saw these telegrams, with these divisions and regiments here, there was no way to take the Eighth Route Army, if they were all withdrawn, they would simply disband the North China Front Army Headquarters!

Yoshizumi Ryosuke was also scared of losing the battle, knowing that without strong troops, there was no way to take the Eighth Route Army. If these elite divisions and regiments are withdrawn, won't the North China Front Army go back to the past? Yoshizumi Ryosuke shuddered, and immediately discussed with Tada Jun how to push back these transfer orders.

Although Tada Jun was very annoyed, he also knew the seriousness of the military order, his North China Front was to sweep away heavy troops, the 11th Army had to deal with Chiang Kai-shek's main force, and the 21st Army was to launch a campaign to cut off Guinan,

Completely cutting off the supply lines of the Chinese government is all for the sake of the great Japanese empire, and they are all very important.

In the final analysis, there is still a shortage of troops.

Tada Jun repeatedly sent telegrams to the base camp, Nishio Shouzo, and Umezu Mijiro of the Kwantung Army, repeatedly explaining the necessity of his plan to drive the tiger into the cage, and finally proposed that it was agreed that the Fifth Division and the Taiwan Mixed Brigade would be transferred to South China, but the Taiwan Mixed Brigade suffered heavy losses in the battle to recapture Qingdao, and it was necessary to add: it was agreed that the Sixth Division and the Ninth Division should return to the Eleventh Army, but the Ninth Division had suffered heavy losses and needed to be rested and replenished immediately: it was agreed that the Fifteenth Division and the Twenty-second Division should be returned to the 13th Army. However, they did not agree to the transfer of the 1st Guards Division and the 2nd Guards Division to China, nor to the transfer of the four divisions of the Kwantung Army back to Manchuria, still less to the transfer of the 1st, 5th, and 7th Brigades to Northern Jiangsu, for the simple reason that North China needed these troops more.

Tada Jun didn't know that the generals and soldiers of these divisions were waiting to leave North China!

As soon as he finished sending the telegram and was waiting for him to talk about official affairs with the base camp, Nishio Toshizo, and Umezu Mijiro, Deputy Chief of Staff Hirata Masatsu excitedly shouted a report.

Tada Jun was upset, and when he saw Hirata Masaki jubilant, he felt strange, when did the North China Front have a happy event?

Hirata Masashi was overjoyed, and he didn't look at the surprised faces of Tada Jun and Yoshizumi Ryosuke at all, and reported loudly: "Report to the commander: Lu Nan won a great victory in the battle and killed the chief of staff of Liu Yimin of the Eighth Route Army!" ”

Tada Jun heard it, is this possible?

Mr. Hirata brought a transcript of the Xinhua News Agency's telegram that he had heard on the radio.

Tada Jun hurriedly took the transcript and read it, and a smile appeared on his face that he hadn't seen for many days, and he kept saying Yo Xi!

Yoshizumi Ryosuke also read it, and after reading it, he said to Tada, "You should report to the base camp right away, this is our record." Judging from Zeng Zhongsheng's killing, as long as he maintains the prestige of sweeping dàng with heavy troops, it is possible to kill Liu Yimin! Tada Jun kept nodding and asked Hirata to report to the base camp and the General Headquarters of the Dispatch Army of China, and to report to the Kwantung Army, the 21st Army, the Taiwan Army, and the Korean Army to report to the First Army, the Twelfth Army, and the divisions. In addition, organize press conferences to release major news immediately.

After a while, Lieutenant General Kinoshita, commander of the Third Flying Group, Major General Okamoto, head of the Special Services Department, and Major General Shimoda Murori, minister of railways, all came running over happily, and even Wang Kemin and Qi Kuiyuan came to say goodbye.

At this time, Tada Jun's face was full of joy, and he suddenly recovered the majesty of the commander of the North China Front who commanded the army, and his waist was straight, and his shriveled face seemed to have a little oil.

When the Eighth Route Army captured Shimen a few days ago, Liu Yimin held a press conference and designated the newspaper that advocated aggression as a newspaper for war criminals, and the newspaper that was published under the control of the Japanese puppet to beautify the aggression as a Han newspaper, which frightened the Japanese pseudo-journalists.

Now that the Imperial Army has won a great victory in Lunan Sweep, even the chief of staff of the Eighth Route Army has been killed, it seems that Liu Yimin is already at the end of the road, and these Japanese pseudo-reporters are bold again, as soon as they heard that Commander Tada Jun held a press conference, they rushed to the headquarters of the North China Front. When they arrived at the gate, those who had passes hurriedly entered, and those who did not have passes kowtowed to the devil guards, lit cigarettes and stuffed money, for fear that they would not be able to enter. In the end, it was Tada Junkai who ordered a body search and inspection, and all reporters who did not have a pass also attended the press conference.

The press conference began, this time it was a super lineup, and next to Tada Jun sat the chief and deputy chief of staff, the minister of special services, the minister of railways, the commander of the Third Air Group, and even Wang Keshu. Qi Kuiyuan was stained naked, and he was also sat in the corner of the "Lord" table by Dong Xu.

Ryosuke Yoshizumi presided over the press conference without hesitation.

Yoshizumi Ryosuke, the old devil, is an invading and murderous maniac in his bones, but he is notorious and was dismissed from the post of commander of the Ninth Division by the Japanese army and sat on the cold bench for a while. After he took office as chief of staff of the North China Front, he didn't have a staff officer to do a good thing, and he saw that the sky was all defeated and defeated, which made this old devil breathless. It's okay now, Tada Jun's waist is straight, Yoshizumi Ryosuke's waist is also straight, and at this moment, he even imagines getting a military commander to do it, and he will also make a general in the future.

Yoshizumi Ryosuke smiled and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen: the press conference of the North China Front is now open. First, I was tasked with two major news stories. First, the Japanese Army won an unprecedented victory in the public security operation in North China, killing Zeng Zhongsheng, chief of staff of the Shandong Military Region of the Eighth Route Army. The reporters in the audience already knew before they came, and their newspapers had received the news release from the Xinhua News Agency, but at this time they still pretended to be jubilant and applauded on the spot.

Tada Jun sat on the main stage and watched the performance of the reporters, and his mouth cracked with laughter.

When the applause stopped, Yoshizumi Ryosuke said: "The second major news I want to release is that the construction plan of the Great Japanese Army is progressing smoothly, and the North China Front will give full support to the construction of the Deshi Railway. After the construction of this railway, Shanxi, Hebei and Shandong will be connected as a whole, which will greatly promote the construction of the royal paradise. ”

The reporters in the audience applauded again.

When the applause of the reporters stopped, Yoshizumi Ryosuke said: "Next, I would like to invite His Excellency Jun Tada, commander of the North China Front of the Great Japanese Army, to speak, and applaud and welcome!" There was applause from the audience.

Tada Jun stood up and spoke, this guy is really talented, listen to how good he said: "When I was still a child, my father Tada Jivassal told me that on the other side of the sea is the Heavenly Empire, where civilization is splendid, rich in materials and rich in people, and the people are industrious. It's a pity that the Celestial Empire is now being bullied by the Western powers, the barbaric Russians, and is in dire need of warriors to defend her. Therefore, I have had a dream since I was a child, that is, to grow up quickly to come to China, defeat the invasion, and defend the civilization of China. "Tada's words are really the same.

The old devil was not shocked, so he continued: "When I grow up and join the army, I will find that what my father said is the truth. The Western powers not only dominate China, but also dominate the whole of Asia. Russia, in particular, is insatiable and has cut so much land from China. So I participated in the Russo-Japanese War, became a warrior and followed the Japanese army, defeated Russia, and recaptured the Korean Peninsula and Siberia. Unfortunately, due to political relations, a considerable part of the land we recaptured was taken away by Russia during the negotiations. At present, the situation in Asia and China has not changed, and Soviet Russia has supported the first attempt to reddened the China country and occupy the China country for a long time.

The Kuomintang supported Chiang Kai-shek by the British and American powers, and they also wanted to occupy China and dominate Asia for a long time.

How can this work? Asia is the Asia of Asians, not a paradise for Western powers and Soviet Russia.

The commander of this commander led a large army to North China in order to drive out the forces of the Western powers, eliminate the ** that had been reddened by Soviet Russia, build North China into a desert island paradise, and integrate into the Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere, so that the people of North China can have food, clothing, wine, and cigarettes, and can freely engage in industrial and agricultural production. ”

There was another round of applause on and off the stage.

Tada Jun continued to blow the conch, saying that the biggest enemy affecting the happy life of the people in North China is the Eighth Route Army. The imperial army wants to let the people live and work in peace and contentment, but the Eighth Route Army wants to divide the land and money of the rich people, and also encourages the concubines of the rich families to divorce, which is simply heinous! The people of North China should clearly understand the true features of the Eighth Route Army in destroying public order in North China and destroying the normal order of production and life, and rise up to fight.

Only in this way can there be hope for North China and maintain normal social order.

Next, Tada Jun began to boast about the results of this heavy sweep. Of course, Tada Jun is not bragging, he has a nose and eyes. According to Tadajun's report, the Japanese army's heavy troops swept Dàng, successively captured 107 county towns in Shandong, recovered most of the county towns in northern and southern Hebei, destroyed the anti-Japanese regime in the above-mentioned counties, destroyed more than 260,000 houses of communist personnel, and eliminated the Eighth Route Army.

The New Fourth Army had 123,670 regulars, local armed forces, and militiamen, captured 8,521 cadres and soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, and killed Zeng Zhongsheng, chief of staff of the Shandong Military Region of the Eighth Route Army.

The figures that Tada said are true and false, such as how many county towns were captured, and they are all true.

It is also true to say how many houses were destroyed, it is likely that Tada Jun also concealed the figures, as for his statement that he eliminated more than 120,000 regular troops of the Eighth Route Army, local armed forces, militias, and more than 8,500 prisoners, that is pure nonsense. However, no one on the scene questioned Tada Jun, they all need such a record, and they are looking forward to it being true!

Tada Jun said that since the imperial army fought with the Eighth Route Army, it has killed Li Yimo, the commander of the air defense brigade of the Eighth Route Army, Huang Su, the supreme leader of the Shandong region, and now has killed Zeng Zhongsheng, the chief of staff of Liu Yimin.

Tada Jun finally said that if the imperial army can kill Zeng Zhongsheng, it will be able to kill Liu Yimin. I believe that this day will come sooner or later. He had absolute faith and was completely annihilated as ...... North China's **, Eighth Route Army.

At the end of the press conference, there was still a group of reporters chasing and chasing to interview Tada Jun, but they were all blocked by Yoshizumi Ryosuke and Hirata Masatsu and others.

When I returned to the office, the base camp, the headquarters of the Chinese Dispatch Army, the Kwantung Army Headquarters, the South China Army, the Taiwan Army, and the North Korean Army all sent congratulatory messages.

However, Tadajun's joy did not last long, and the commander of the Dispatch Army of the "China" country, Nishio Shouzo, sent another telegram, reminding Tada Jun to be vigilant against the retaliation of the Eighth Route Army, and to pay special attention to the safety of the garrison of the Ninth Division in Linyi City, Lunan Province.

Nishio Shouzao This is the old Cheng serious words, Tada Jun Monkey Essence Monkey Essence, immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, patronized and happy, why didn't he think about the consequences? The original commander of the Second Army, King Dongjuer Palace, died because of a press conference held in Jinan to announce Liu Yimin's several major crimes, and after the death of Li Yimo and Huang Su, Liu Yimin was able to start a big war, and the imperial army suffered heavy losses. Also, the last time Liu Yimin's lover, the newspaper editor-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, was killed on Longhai Road, Liu Yimin launched a crazy revenge in just one week, and the 114th Division had to go back to the mainland to rest and replenish, which was equivalent to being completely disabled.

It was Liu Yimin's chief of staff who was killed this time, if he can't come back and take revenge immediately?

Tada Jun couldn't help but mō his neck, feeling cold, as if a knife had slashed it.

Where did Yoshizumi Ryosuke and others know about the change in Tada Jun's mentality, and clamored to take advantage of the victory to attack, and re-launch a heavy sweep against the mountainous areas of southeastern and central Lu, and eliminate Liu Yimin's troops in one fell swoop.

Tada Jun now regrets holding the press conference, and he is eager to call those reporters back and order that they should not be published. But, on second thought, that would be worse and would be looked down upon by the press. As soon as he heard that Yoshizumi Ryosuke and others were going to relaunch the heavy army sweep dàng, Tada Jun felt a sense of contempt in his heart, these guys who didn't know the overall situation, they didn't see that the elite army division was dragged by Liu Yimin to have no ammunition and no food, and they had to fight again, what to fight? We'll have to wait until the supplies arrive, right?

Tada Jun asked Wang Kemin and Qi Kuiyuan to go back and organize grain and grass to ensure the supply of the front line, and then asked Yoshizumi Ryosuke to immediately send a telegram to Keguchi Jiichiro, ordering him to be vigilant, strictly guard against death, and beware of the retaliatory attack of the Eighth Route Army.

Tada Jun had already agreed to the transfer of the 9th Division back to the 11th Army, and now he was waiting for the specific transfer order, and he did not want the 9th Division to have an accident before leaving North China.

What Tada Jun didn't expect was that Keiguchi Jiichiro's telegram arrived first, reporting that the Ninth Division had suffered heavy casualties in the early stage of the battle, and now it was being attacked by the elite team of the Eighth Route Army, and the sentries did not dare to stand guard, and the patrol team did not dare to go out.

Only then did Tada Jun remember that the killing of Zeng Zhongsheng was not due to his 9th Division, 114th Division, 29th Division, and Manchurian Tǐng Army, but to Yamamoto Daisa's special combat team sent from the base camp. The Imperial Army had a special combat team, and the Eighth Route Army also had it. It is likely that the special combat team of the Eighth Route Army went to seek revenge on Yamamoto Daisa's special combat team. If you don't know, Liu Yimin has already targeted Linyi, and he will soon make another move against the Ninth Division.

Tadajun's heart has simply experienced the two heavens of ice and fire, and has fallen from the peak of joy to the deep valley all of a sudden.

Linyi, Linyi, Tada Jun chewed these two words, stood in front of the map, and carefully examined it.

Now there are two ways, one is to increase the strength of Lunan troops, and the other is to urgently evacuate the Linyi garrison.

Tada Jun was worried, and kept thinking about it in his heart.

Yoshizumi Ryosuke saw that Tada Jun's gaze did not leave Lunan, thinking that Tada Jun wanted to start from the direction of Linyi, and after thinking for a while, he proposed: "Your Excellency, Commander, if you want to sweep the mountainous areas of central and southern Lu and the southeast of Lu again, I propose to transfer the 1st Guards Division, the 2nd Guards Division, the 12th Division, the 4th Cavalry Brigade, and the Heavy Artillery Brigade to form a heavy army group, and press from the Jinpu Road to the south, and order all divisions and regiments on the Jinpu Road to concentrate eastward to form a strong defensive line. In this way, we have formed a knife and a sword, and Liu Yimin's department will inevitably be crushed by us. Tada Jun said lightly: "I'm thinking about which direction Liu Yimin will attack if he wants to retaliate." ”

Yoshizumi Ryosuke threw himself to Tada Jun's five bodies during this time, but at this moment, listening to Tada Jun's words of worrying about Liu Yimin's revenge, Yoshizumi Ryosuke still couldn't help but laugh in his heart that His Excellency the commander was timid, Liu Yimin couldn't cry now, where would he have the time and ability to launch a retaliatory battle!

The snickering in his heart was just a flash of thought, and Yoshizumi Ryosuke immediately realized the danger, the reason is very simple, the Japanese army tossed for so long, and did not eliminate the main force of Liu Yimin, but was wiped out by the Eighth Route Army The main force of the 38th Division and captured Shimen Qingdao. Nowadays, the Japanese army is short of food and ammunition, but the Eighth Route Army has sufficient ammunition and is judged by its strength and weakness. The Japanese army could only hold on honestly, and had no capital to launch a sustained war.

If Liu Yimin attacked the Ninth Division at this time, what would be the result? Ryosuke Yoshizumi couldn't help but shudder.

Tada Jun and Yoshizumi Ryosuke uttered one word almost at the same time: "Withdraw!" "Dear book friends: tomorrow will continue to erupt in begging for subscriptions and tickets! Please support you! (To be continued...)
