Section 64 Pre-war Preparations(2)

Hearing him talk about the firepower equipment possessed by the enemy on the other side, Jin Zhenzhong opened his mouth in horror and couldn't close it for a while: "Brigade commander......, it's so powerful, let's ...... How are we going to get it? ”

Dai Xiaodian replied to the question: "Not only do you want to get him, but you have to get it hard!" Most of the Japanese divisions and regiments that were in the sequence after 100 were reconstituted in reserve, and these people had the worst military discipline! Therefore, once they succeed, not only will our soldiers be unlucky, but even the people will be humiliated by them! From this point of view, you have to give the devil a good look! ”

Jin Zhenzhong said: "Yes, we all know what the brigade commander said, but the devil's firepower is so strong, what should we do to fight with others?" ”

"Don't worry, I've got it in my heart. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Dai Xiaodian said: "I told you at the beginning, remember the tactical points, right?" Just do as I said! ”

***************************************************

On the opposite side of the Chinese army's position was the Japanese 108th Division, whose headquarters was located in the Duliu Town Office, and the troops had already crossed the South Canal and the Heilonggang River in advance and stationed in the attack position.

In addition to the commander of the front army, the chief of staff, and the brigade and regimental commanders of the eight divisions, Takeo Imai, chief of the Japanese intelligence agency from the Pingjin area, made a report on the intelligence work.

Takeo Imai was an old subordinate of Enji Dohi, who began to serve as the head of the intelligence agency in Mukden in August 1933, and by 1935, he served as a military attache in Beiping, and later came to Tianjin to continue his intelligence work. (Note 1)

After the battle of Nanfuzhao in early September, Terauchi Shouichi listened to Tohihara's suggestion, suspended the offensive against China, and ordered the secret services in Shanhaiguan, Tianjin, Tangshan, and other places to do some careful intelligence gathering work, and soon Dai Xiaodian's name emerged.

According to Takeo Imai's report, Dai Xiaodian is 19 years old this year, joined the army in Showa 12, and after stepping out of the recruit camp, he was immediately promoted to captain and appointed as the commander of the 3rd Battalion and 3rd Company of the 3rd Battalion of the 219th Regiment of the 110th Brigade of the 37th Division stationed in Wanping.

When Gu Shoufu heard this, he sneered and took out a cigarette roll and matches, lit them in public, shook the match stalk in his hand, and threw it into the ashtray: "There is no hope for that person!" An 18-year-old boy, if he hadn't even graduated from the non-commissioned officer school in Japan, would he be the regiment commander here? ”

Shouichi Terauchi ignored him and nodded to Takeo Imai: "Imai-kun, continue." ”

"Ah, yes." Imai Takeo nodded hurriedly, his report was interrupted by Gu Shoufu for no reason, and his train of thought seemed to be affected, scratching his head with a wry smile, and letting his dandruff fall on his shoulders like snow: "What happened after that, well, in the document I prepared for the rank chief, there is detailed information about Dai's. ”

Everyone didn't want his report to end so hastily, until he stood up, bowed, and walked out of the conference room, and Tu Feiyuan said with a smile: "Gu Shoujun, everyone knows that Imai-kun is easy to get excited when he attends such an occasion, but you interrupt him at this time!" Hey, I can't even get a detailed description of the young enemy! You guy! ”

The crowd chuckled. The chief of staff of the front army, Okabe, said: "Your Excellency, commander, in order to learn more about the situation of the Dai family, we have arranged for Yin Yinongjun, who has had a relationship with the Dai family, to attend the meeting as an observer, can you please explain it to us in detail?" ”

The temple was a little headed, so he ordered someone to call Yin Rugeng in.

Yin Rugeng is a native of Zhejiang, participated in the League, and later entered Waseda University to study, which can be regarded as a highly educated talent, but such a scholar has no temperament to match his knowledge, and he threw himself into the arms of the Japanese early and betrayed the motherland! In 1935, with the support of the Japanese, he established the Provisional Government of Eastern Hebei, officially broke away from Nanjing, and became a hardcore traitor!

On July 28, 37, the Japanese army attacked Nanyuan, and when the two sides were fighting lively, Zhang Qingyu and Zhang Yantian, who were in Tongzhou, led their troops to revolt, captured Yin Rugeng alive, and destroyed the Japanese military organs stationed in Tongzhou, creating the famous Tongzhou Incident.

After the outbreak of the Tongzhou Incident, the Japanese army was anxious and hateful, and ordered the 11th Brigade and the 12th Wing of the Nara Huang to rush to the aid immediately, Zhang Qingyu and Zhang Yantian's Jidong Security Team collapsed at the touch of a button, and was defeated by the Japanese army. Yin Rugeng thus saved his life and got under the crotch of the Japanese master again.

His life was picked up, but the Japanese no longer trusted him, suspecting that he had something to do with Erzhang's uprising - otherwise, how could such a guy with great public anger not be executed immediately if he was caught? For this reason, he spent almost a month in a Japanese prison, having just been released. Even so, the Oriental masters no longer paid attention to him, and his name was not at all in the list of personnel of the Provisional Government of Beiping, which was being prepared for establishment!

At this moment, Yin Rugeng was really scared. Sleeping in bed at night, after thinking about it, I feel that I serve my master with all my heart, there is a momentary mistake, and there are also a thousand days of goodness, beating, scolding and punishment, can be endured, but today, I actually want to refuse to accept, so ruthless, not only chilling, but also really sad!

Therefore, Yin Rugeng hid in the bed and cried all night like a wronged child daughter-in-law, her eyes were swollen from crying, and when she got up early the next morning, she scared his Japanese wife into a discoloration.

It's really cheap, Yin Rugeng cried for half a night, but a dead heart flowed out of his tears, thinking about how to win the favor of his masters again, how to win praise? Only by thinking through it in this way can he feel that a heart has a place to settle down.

After that, the situation took a slight turn, the Japanese wanted to find a guy named Dai Xiaodian, Yin Rugeng and Dai Xiaodian had not met at all, but Chen Juesheng had seen him before, Yin Rugeng found Chen Juesheng, asked the original situation that happened in Zhongnanhai that day, and bribed Chen Juesheng at all costs, and snatched the job that should have been undertaken by Chen Juesheng.

Chen Juesheng was very reluctant to give up such an opportunity to show up in front of the Japanese master, but he and Yin Rugeng were old acquaintances, and they had the same experience of studying in the East.

Yin Rugeng arrived at the conference room and talked endlessly, starting from Dai Xiaodian leading his troops to break into Zhongnanhai, until he shot Pan Yugui, and sorted out the information he heard from Chen Juesheng, added oil and vinegar, and made a statement. His narration gave the chief of the first day the feeling that it was not so much to explain the situation at that time, but to set up a monument for Dai Xiaodian Tree!

Okabe waited for him to finish speaking, and nodded with a smile: "Yin Jun, thank you for your description, you can step down." ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Yin Rugeng bowed again and again and said, "It is really a blessing to be able to serve you. I hope that in the future, I will have the opportunity to do more for the Imperial Army and the Provisional Government of Beiping! ”

Watching him walk out of the conference room, Terachi Shouichi either sneered or pouted, all with disdainful expressions: "Then, the situation is already clear, and the Dai clan is likely to be the culprit who caused serious damage to the imperial army!" Ladies and gentlemen, do you have anything to say? ”

There was silence for a long time in the conference room, and in the short-circuited brains of the Japanese, there was no concept of genius, and everyone had to go through the struggle of the hands and feet in order to sit in a high position; But now, ......, an 18-year-old child can actually lead the troops and cause damage to the imperial army again and again? Let everyone really understand that it can't be!

Ryosuke Isoya tilted his head and thought for a while, and finally said, "Your Excellency Commander, I have something to say. ”

"Sotani-kun, please speak."

"Contemptible people think that Dai may be a rare military talent, but fighting, absolutely relying on the strength of one person, must be one of the root causes of great defeats and losses. With the wisdom of thousands of people in the General Staff Headquarters and the War Department, he can't beat a young man? Contemptible people can't believe it! As long as our army puts away its impatient mentality, implements crushing tactics in a steady way, no matter how strong the Dai clan is, can the people of the branch under his command be as loyal and brave as the soldiers of the imperial army? Therefore, the contemptible people believe that the final victory must belong to the imperial state! ”

Terauchi Shouichi pondered for a long time and said: "If Isoya-kun can put away his contempt for the enemy and reproduce the indomitable heroic posture in the Qingdao incident, it is not a luxury to be able to achieve such a goal, even at the cost of the sacrifice of more than 1,000 warriors of the 39th Brigade, it is acceptable!" ”

"Yes!" Ryosuke Isoya hurriedly got up and bowed: "Thank you, Your Excellency, Commander, for your praise, the contemptible people will definitely carry the shoulders of the heroic souls of the 39th Brigade who sacrificed their lives, and use this as an inspiration to fight the Chinese army to the end!" ”

*********************************************************************

After the meeting, Major General Nakano Naozo of the 25th Brigade and Major General Tomamidi of the 104th Brigade did not stay and returned directly to Jinghai in Tianjin.

After resting at the headquarters for a night, Kumaya Shimoto summoned the commanders above the division commander Nakasa (brigade leader) to the meeting, and Toshiyuki Suzuki, chief of staff, conveyed the front army's prediction and explanation of the operation.

In the system of the Japanese army, the chief of staff is a character with a very embarrassing identity and status, taking Suzuki Toshiyoshi as an example, as the chief of the general staff of the division and regiment, the two brigade commanders are his subordinates, but he is just a poor Dazuo rank, and the Japanese army has always had a tradition of emphasizing military force and ignoring literature, and the chief of staff is a civilian who only uses his brains and does not have to go into battle, not to mention the brigade commander, even a small squadron leader, and he does not take him seriously at all! In Xia Yuan Xiong Mi's heart, he is a qi bag used to vent his anger!

Suzuki recounted in public, and finally said: "Gentlemen, we must hold the attitude that the enemy in front of us is the 108th Division, and we must not cause irreparable consequences because of the impression that the Chinese army is weak!" ”

"Yes!" Although the chief of staff is not taken seriously, everyone is very face-saving, but a few people take his words seriously, and it is unpredictable.

Next, the specific tactics will be arranged by Kumiya Shimomoto, and according to the setting of the front army, tomorrow, that is, at 6:45 a.m. on September 24, Showa 12, the battle will begin. After the conventional artillery bombardment, there will be an aviation squadron from Tianjin Dongjuzi Airport to cover the battlefield firepower, which is expected to end at about 7:33, and the first wave of attack troops will launch an attack on the Chinese army on the Xiaojiaohe defense line with the support of 5 tank squadrons of Type 89B. Specifically, the 1st Brigade of the 117th Wing of the 25th Brigade (Takashu Kaichi) was in charge, and the 2nd Brigade of the 117th Wing and the 2nd and 3rd Brigades of the 132nd Wing of the same brigade (Ebi Naeiichi) were in charge of the battle. The rest of the two wings were at the mercy of further combat orders.

The two wing commanders looked at each other and smiled, their gloved hands clenched into fists, and their hearts were full of joy that their troops could become the first troops!

They are all veterans for many years, and they have long been familiar with this kind of thing, and when they get their own combat orders, they are only thinking about how to end the battle faster, and what should they say when they are interviewed by reporters after the war?

Note 1: This is a name that has been thunderous in recent history. There are a lot of anecdotes about him, he can speak several foreign languages, including fluent Chinese, not only can speak Chinese, he can even speak the dialects of the four provinces, and other jokes, humors, after-breaks, and witticisms, he is even more handy.

Taking the post of 'Fengtian Intelligence Agency' described in the article as an example, the candidate for the head of the agency had already been decided to be held by him, but unexpectedly he got into a lawsuit.

At that time, he borrowed one million yuan in his personal name from a Japanese man who was doing business in Mukden for intelligence work, but with his ability, he could not pay it back at all. In addition, he was often fined, and the little salary he received was always filled in the pockets of his colleagues.

The merchant who lent him money was anxious to use the money to turn over, and every time he found the soil and fertilizer to collect the debt, he was very anxious, and later, the merchant simply sued him in court -- and it was also because of this incident that his predetermined candidate was also spent.
