While the war maniacs in Japan were busy salivating over Southeast Asia, Okamura Ninji, who was far away in North China, was not idle. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Although it was caught off guard by Ma Zheng's department some time ago and lost some soldiers, due to the sudden withdrawal of Ma Zheng's department, the losses of the North China Front Army were not large.

However, Okamura Ningji, who felt that he had lost face, was obviously unwilling to accept the defeat some time ago, and in addition, the reinforcements of the divisions and regiments that had just been promised by the base camp had already landed at Tianjin Port, so in the past two months, the North China Front, which had been relatively well-behaved, began to move again.

However, unlike Tada, Okamura Ninji was more willing to wait for an opportunity, he was not willing to fight uncertain battles, and he did not like to engage in military adventures that seemed meaningless to him.

Later, all officers above the rank of lieutenant general division in North China received an order from the headquarters of the Beiping Front, asking them to hold a meeting in Beiping on 25 July, and that no one should be late or ask for leave.

July 25, Beiping. Conference Room of the Headquarters of the North China Front

After more than two months of investigation, Lieutenant General Okamura Ninji had almost understood the situation of the entire North China Front, so he thought it was necessary to arrange the next stage of the battle of the Imperial Army as soon as possible, so it was necessary to hold a meeting with the commanders of the various corps divisions.

Present at the meeting were Lieutenant General Iida Sadagu, commander of the 12th Army stationed in Shandong, Lieutenant General Toshiyoshi Yasuto, commander of the 5th Division, Lieutenant General Washizu Matsudaira, commander of the 21st Division, Norihide Abe, commander of the 26th Division, Lieutenant General Ueda Toichi, commander of the 10th Division, Lieutenant General Ueda Toshichi, commander of the 36th Division, Lieutenant General Kenyoshi Hirata, commander of the 37th Division, Lieutenant General Shigeyoshi Suematsu, commander of the 114th Division, Lieutenant General Suzuki Akiaki, commander of the 110th Division, and Lieutenant General Shigemo Yamaoka, commander of the 109th Division. Lieutenant General Yoshio Shinozuka, commander of the First Army stationed in Shanxi, Lieutenant General Yoji Fujii of the 38th Division, Lieutenant General Keisaku Murakami, commander of the 39th Division, Lieutenant General Naojiro Amaya, commander of the 40th Division, Lieutenant General Takeshi Shinoyama, commander of the 41st Division, Major General Eiichi Hirahara, head of the North China Region of the Special High-tech Branch, and Major General Hattori Kuratomi, commander of the gendarmerie and commander of the special operations unit of the North China Front.

Since the 32nd and 35th Divisions were crippled shortly after they arrived in China, the Japanese army headquarters temporarily decided to keep the 5th Division that was about to be transferred to the Kwantung Army and the 114th Division that was about to be transferred back to China for recuperation. At the same time, the 14th Division was transferred to the Kwantung Army, and the military headquarters transferred the 38th, 39th, 40th, and 41st Divisions that had just been formed to North China, and two more divisions were transferred to supplement the North China Front Army half a year later.

As a result, the strength of the Japanese army stationed in North China was as high as 14 divisions and 10 independent mixed brigades, with a total strength of 380,000 troops, which was only stronger than the strength of the previous North China Front.

The meaning of the Japanese base camp is very clear, now that there are soldiers and generals, then the next thing is up to you Okamura Ningji, you have performed very well during this time, and you have the ability to turn the tide and prevent the situation in North China from continuing to deteriorate when the North China Front is in turmoil, which is very good.

But what we have to do in the next time is not this, but how to recover the lost territory and destroy all the resistance forces in North China, whether it is the arrogant Eighth Route Army or the regular army of the Nationalist Government, the local army, and the miscellaneous army. Now the base camp wants results, and the process does not need to be said.

Okamura Ninji understood this without a base camp, so he felt the need to fight a large-scale war after August to justify the imperial army in Northern China.

In the conference room, Okamura Ningji said lightly: "Gentlemen, the four divisions of the base camp promised front army have all arrived at Tianjin Port, and now our North China Dispatch Army is all full, and its vitality has recovered nine-tenths, so I think we should not just nest here, but should actively look for opportunities to teach Tubalu a lesson." ”

When he said this, Okamura Ningji was still very confident, and it was good to say that the North China Front Army some time ago was not bad, but Okamura Ningji thought that Tada Jun had lost very unjustly. Because in Okamura Ningji's view, the North China Front at that time had not yet recovered its vitality and rashly started a war with Ma Zheng's subordinates, and was also caught off guard by others, and rushed to respond to the battle, how could there be no reason to be undefeated.

It is not that they have nothing to say, on the contrary, the haze of the disastrous defeat in the previous war still hangs over the hearts of every officer, and almost all the Japanese officers have many opinions and understandings about that battle.

Despite this, these people were all shocked by the strong performance of Ma Zheng's subordinates, and temporarily lost the courage to compete with the Suicha Military Region in Saibei, and they easily did not dare to fight indiscriminately.

Even if they still disdain Ma Zheng's subordinates in their hearts, no one should talk to Okamura Ninji on this occasion, because these senior commanders of the Japanese army are very experienced generals, and they have already made clear what Okamura Ninji meant, and no one is willing to take the responsibility for another defeat.

However, due to the strong performance of Ma Zheng's department, almost all the officers of the Japanese North China Front Army who started a war with Ma Zheng's department had concerns, you must know that Terauchi Shouichi, Binshan Yuan, and his successor Tada Jun had asked the senior officers of the entire North China Front Army for advice on this issue, and almost all the officers at that time unanimously believed that Ma Zheng's department could definitely be eliminated in the short term.

But it turned out that the strength of Ma Zheng's department was far more terrifying than expected, and a few sets of combined punches brought the entire North China Front to the brink of destruction, so when Okamura Ninji once again put the same problem in front of these people, almost all of them remained silent.

However, there are also those who are not afraid of death, and Lieutenant General Naojiro Amaya, commander of the 40th Division, who has just been transferred to the combat sequence of the North China Front, is the most arrogant one of them. Speaking of this Naojiro Amaya, not many people may know about it, but this person is one of the culprits who caused the Nanjing Massacre, and he is the enemy of the blood feud of the entire Chinese nation.

This person had even reached such a high position as the commander of the front army at the time of the collapse of Japanese militarism, and now even if Naojiro Amaya is only a small lieutenant general division commander, in terms of his status, although he is not as good as Okamura Ninji, but it is not comparable to ordinary division commanders, because this person is one of the reserve officers vigorously cultivated by the base camp.

Different from the backbone of the general reserve army, reserve officers like Naojiro Amaya are generally heirs cultivated in the base camp, so Naojiro Amaya has always been above the top, and Naojiro Amaya is very disappointed and dissatisfied with Lieutenant General Okamura Ninji being beaten back by the Eighth Route Army called Hanako during this time.

Therefore, as soon as Lieutenant General Mura Ningji finished asking, this person jumped out impatiently: "Your Excellency, you think that the Shinatu Eight Road is just a small mouse, and you can't regard it as a big problem for our great Japanese Empire, especially the Ma Zheng that we are focusing on now, he and his troops are not qualified to fight with the front army, let alone be regarded as an opponent by the imperial base camp. ”

Naojiro Amaya's words caused a lot of dissatisfaction, and even Major General Eiichi Hirahara, who had always disliked fighting with people, frowned. Secretly Dao this Tiangu is really rude, and he doesn't speak through his brain, is this kind of thing said explicitly on such an occasion.

If Ma Zheng's department was really so easy to dismiss, it would still be necessary for Japan to send hundreds of thousands of troops to encircle and suppress it, and even the military bigwigs such as Terauchi Shouichi, Sugiyama Moto, and Tada Jun would be affected.

If it is said that the combat effectiveness of Ma Zheng's department is really not very good, it is really a naked insult to those generals who died on the battlefield or were forced to commit suicide because of the drag of Ma Zheng's department, including Okamura Ningji and everyone here, this bastard's words are equivalent to offending more than half of the imperial officers in the conference room, I really don't know how this guy got into such a high position as the division commander.
