After receiving the top-secret information from Okamoto, the head of the North China Front Army's secret service, Tada Jun was like a pedestrian on Mí Road in the dark who suddenly saw the light, and he had a goal!

In the spacious office of Tada Jun, commander of the North China Front, it was so quiet that you could hear a needle drop on the ground. http://

Update Tada Jun, Yoshizumi Ryosuke, Hirata Masaki, and Okamoto all gathered in front of the map, staring at the Jilu border area, silent.

The phone on the table rang, and Tada shook his head and turned to answer the phone.

The telephone call was also from Shiro Inaba, the commander of the 6th Division, who was in charge of commanding the heavy army group, and reported that the Japanese overseas Chinese in Shimén Castle had been standing in a long line outside the headquarters and refused to leave, and asked the army to solve the problem of rations and funds, and asked for instructions on how to deal with it.

Tada Jun was a very pragmatic person, and he could think of these Japanese overseas Chinese shivering in the biting cold wind, so he replied that several divisions under the command of Inaba Shiro would first give the Japanese overseas Chinese a part of the rations, and that they would be able to transfer grain from Manchuria and Pyongjin as soon as the railway was completed. It is true that the money and property of the expatriates who were robbed by the Eighth Route Army must be explained clearly, and the front army is powerless, let them disperse, and quickly resume production and operation.

Inaba Shiro reported that the rations of the divisions under the command of Hua were also running out, and since they had been replenished in Lunan, they had not been replenished all the way to southwest Lunan and then to Shimén, and that there were many wounded soldiers in the troops, few rations, and that the gasoline was about to run out, and that the soldiers were running out of food, and that they urgently needed to replenish and recuperate.

Tada Jun now knows that Liu Yi's main force has arrived at the Jilu border, and is thinking about how to mobilize the army to the Jilu border to encircle and suppress It, Inaba Shiro actually said that the troops are short of food, gasoline, need to rest, and need to be replenished, if this is proposed by the commanders of the divisions and regiments under the North China Front, Tada Jun will definitely be scolded with a scolding on his head and face, but the sixth division now belongs to the 11th Army and is transferred to support him in the battle, so he cannot be scolded.

Tada Jun comforted Inaba Shiro with good words, saying that it was because Liu Yimin was too fierce and cunning, and there was no discipline in the war, which caused the imperial army to run back and forth and be very tired. However, now that the exact whereabouts of Liu Yi's main force have been clarified, and the army will be mobilized to pursue and suppress it with all its might, Lieutenant General Inaba should encourage the troops to overcome fatigue and prepare for continuous operations. For the time being, the army will first evenly export grain from the army to support the overseas Chinese, and the front army will immediately arrange for planes to drop food and gasoline to replenish the divisions and regiments.

Putting down Shiro Inaba's phone, Tada paced back and forth in the room. It took a long time to cough and then signal Yoshizumi Ryosuke, Hirata Masaki, and Okamoto, who were still crawling in front of the map, to turn around and listen to his instructions.

When the three of them turned around, Tada Jun said: "Liu Yimin went to the border of Hebei and Shandong, there are three possibilities, one is to attack Tianjin in the north, the second is to cross the Yellow River in the east and return to the hinterland of Shandong, and the third is to go south to the northwest of Shandong and return to the hinterland of Shandong from the northwest of Shandong. I judged that Liu Yimin was going to return to the hinterland of Shandong and restore his base area. There are three big things to do.

1. It is necessary to immediately order the 19th Brigade of the Independent Hún stationed in Huimin, the 20th Brigade of the Independent Hún stationed in Qingyun, and the 21st Brigade of the Independent Hún stationed in Linyi to immediately shrink the troops to prevent Liu Yimin from jumping over the wall and breaking them all down. At the same time, they were ordered to send more small units to reconnaitor and search, so as to know the specific location of Liu Yi's main force and guide the aviation units to carry out concentrated bombing. They must also be ordered to hold on to the county seat, hold back Liu Yi's main force, and win time for the large army to arrive: Second, they must immediately blockade the main force of Liu Yi's people in this area, and absolutely must not let him escape again. Order the 35th Division and the 110th Division on Baoda Road to quickly advance eastward and block the Jinpu Road and Jinnan area to prevent Liu Yimin's main force from escaping to Tianjin or returning to Jizhong: the 5th Division, the 4th Cavalry Brigade, the 1st Guards Division, and the Taiwan Hún Cheng Brigade that arrived in Dexian County advanced north along the Jinpu Line to block Liu Yimin's southward passage: ordered the 40th Division stationed in Dexian County, The Eighth Group of the Public Security Army quickly completed the deployment between Dexian and Cangxian: ordered the main forces of the 32nd Division and the 36th Division of the Jiaoji Road North Sweeping Dàng Army commanded by Iida Zhenggu, commander of the 12th Army, to quickly assemble and advance to the Yellow River, blocking Liu Yimin's eastward passage across the river: Ordering the Fourth Fleet of the Navy to go north from Lianyungang and blockading the Yellow River: ordering Kinoshita to send a group of aircraft to carry out a strict reconnaissance and search in the Hebei-Lu border area, bombing Liu Yimin's main force, focusing on searching the west bank of the Yellow River, and discovering signs of the Eighth Route Army building pontoon bridges, Resolutely blow up: Order Inaba Shiro to command the 6th Division, the 2nd Guards Division, the 12th Division, the 15th Division, and the Heavy Artillery Brigade to take immediate action and march towards the Jilu border area, and arrive within three days to sweep the Jilu border from west to east.

3. Now that the Imperial Army has basically controlled Shandong, Southern Hebei, Central Hebei and Jiangsu and Anhui regions, the next step is to step up the sweep and completely destroy the Eighth Route Military regime system, so that the common people can come out of the tunnels and obey the management of the Imperial Army. Therefore, the 5th Brigade of the Independent Húncheng rushed to Handan was ordered to be stationed in Shimén and was responsible for sweeping the area around Shimén: the 11th Division rushed to Beidan, the 1st Brigade of the Independent Húncheng in Nangong and the troops of the Public Security Army carried out a sweep of southern Hebei, and the 22nd Division of Pinghan Road cooperated in the operation: the 40th Division and the troops of the Public Security Army remaining in the Luxi area were ordered to carry out a sweep in the Luxi area: the 37th Division that arrived in Hengshui was ordered to completely restore the Deshi Road, Cangshi Road Jiāo Pass and Public Security. Tada Jun said so much in one breath, and Hirata Masa's record was numb. As soon as Tada Jun finished speaking, Hirata Masa climbed on the table to sort out the records, and after a short time, he handed it to Tada Jun for a look.

Yoshizumi Ryosuke listened to Tada Jun's words, and thought about it, thinking that the commander was a little taken for granted this time, Liu Yimin's troops were likely to have withdrawn to the Jilu border after occupying Shimén, and I am afraid that the rest had been completed at this time. And all the units of the imperial army have become tired divisions, rashly attacking the Jilu border, it is easy for Liu Yimin to seize the opportunity to eliminate another one. Besides, the heavy army group commanded by Shiro Inaba was far away in Shimén, and when they arrived at the Jilu border, in the words of the Chinese people, the yellow huā vegetables were cold. In three days, I'm afraid that if Liu Yimin wants to fight Tianjin, he will already be sitting in Tianjin.

Yoshizumi Ryosuke frowned, struggled in his heart for a long time, and still said: "Your Excellency Commander: I think the matter of encircling and suppressing the Jilu border needs to be reconsidered. There are mainly the following problems: First, the various units of the Imperial Army have not rested since the attack was launched, and the exhaustion of the troops will inevitably affect their combat effectiveness. The second is the problem of supply, and since the launch of the heavy army sweeping operation, due to the Eighth Route Army's strict policy of clearing the wilderness, we have not found much urgently needed food in Shandong and southern Hebei, and all the troop supplies need to be transferred from the mainland, Manchuria, and Pingjin. At present, all units are already short of food, ammunition, and ammunition, and they must rest and replenish before they can fight again. Otherwise, even if it was to surround Liu Yi's main force, the divisions and regiments of the imperial army would not have the ammunition and food to support the continuous operation.

It can only be a flock of tired sheep, which is dangerous. Third, if Iida Zhenggu was asked to command the 32nd Division and the 36th Division to rush to the front line of the Yellow River to set up defenses, it would be too late for them to arrive, and when they arrived at the Yellow River, Liu Yimin would probably have already crossed the Yellow River and collided head-on, and the 32nd and 36th Divisions would be in danger. Moreover, the transfer of these two divisions to the west, the Xiaoqing River Basin and the Jiaolai River Basin will inevitably fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army again, and all the achievements of the early sweep will come to naught. Even the 28th Division in Jiaodong will become a lone army, and the situation will be serious. At present, the Eighth Route Army has entered western Liaoning, and the troops in southern Liaoning are still messing around, and the main divisions of the Kwantung Army have just returned, and they have not yet been eliminated or expelled, and this Eighth Route Army may cut off the railway line at any time. ”

Yoshizumi Ryosuke was telling the truth, especially when Tada Jun was carried away by anger, Yoshitsu Ryosuke's words were like pouring a basin of cold water from the top of his head, which made Tada Jun suddenly sober up.

Tada Jun calmed down for a while, thinking that what Yoshizumi Ryosuke said made sense, he was the commander, sitting in the headquarters office warmly, commanding the map, but the soldiers were wrapped in the cold wind and walked for a long time, I am afraid that they will not be able to move. Otherwise, Shiro Inaba would not have complained and asked for permission to rest. That is the sixth division of the army, and the situation of other troops can be imagined.

However, watching Liu Yimin hiding in the Jilu border area and waiting for an opportunity to capture Tianjin or wander back to the hinterland of Shandong was not in line with the strategic policy of the Japanese army or Tada Jun's spleen.

Tada Jun was silent for a long time before he spoke: "What Yoshizumi-kun said makes sense, but Liu Yi's main force must be blocked in the Jilu border area, and this time no matter what, we can't let him escape again."

In my judgment, it is unlikely that Liu Yimin will go north to attack Tianjin, because this time is different from the last time Liu Yimin captured Tianjin, at that time the Pingjin area was empty of troops, and there was no force that could stop Liu Yimin. This time, our army is gathered, as long as Liu Yimin dares to capture Tianjin, we can surround him under the city of Tianjin and trap him. This point must be very clear from Liu Yimin's vision. When he went to the Jilu border, he wanted to return to the hinterland of Shandong without realizing it. We cannot let him get what he wants, we must crush his attempts. In this way, the deployment was adjusted, and the four divisions and heavy artillery brigades under the command of Shiro Inaba rested for a day in Shimén and marched to the Jilu border area tomorrow. The Fifth Division and the Guards Division are mechanized divisions of the Imperial Army, and the Fourth Cavalry Brigade is also strong in mobility. The chief of staff drew up a detailed battle plan, and these units commanded the 40th Division, the 35th Division, and the 11th Division. division

The 19th, 20th, and 21st Brigades of the Independent Hún carried out a blockade and encirclement of the Jilu border, and waited for the four divisions under the command of Inaba Shiro to arrive before launching a large-scale attack. In this battle, the key is to block the Yellow River and Jinpu Road, and not let Liu Yimin escape. In addition to giving full play to the superiority of the air force and navy, Iida Sadagu had to transfer at least one division to the front line of the Yellow River to deploy defenses. In the dry season, the Yellow River is shallow, and only small warships can pass through it, and large warships cannot enter the Yellow River. ”

Tada's meaning is to besiege first and then destroy, which is tantamount to adopting Yoshizumi Ryosuke's advice.

Yoshizumi Ryosuke agreed, and the two of them were sentenced to Hirada to draw up a detailed battle plan and give orders to each unit.

At this time, Tada Jun sat down with Okamoto, talked with Okamoto in detail for a while, and instructed Okamoto to increase the infiltration of the Eighth Route Army, paying special attention to cracking the underground intelligence stations of the Eighth Route Army in Beiping, Tianjin, Jinan, Qingdao, Taiyuan, Kaifeng, Xuzhou, Baoding, Shimén, Lianyungang, and other places, cutting off the intelligence sources of the Eighth Route Army, and making Liu Yimin deaf and blind.

Okamoto immediately stood up, saluted again, and after Hai Yi Okamoto left, Tada Jun stood in front of the window, looked at the cold sky outside the window, and couldn't help but say: "Liu Yimin, you probably didn't think that I had caught your fox tail, right?" ”

After exclaiming, Tada Jun climbed onto the table and drafted a telegram to Emperor Hirohito, Prime Minister Nobuyuki Abe, Prince Zaihito of Kanin Palace, and Minister Yan Shunroku, reporting in detail the Japanese army's attack on Ishimén, reviewing his own command mistakes, and again requesting His Majesty the Emperor to appoint a capable general to be the commander of the North China Front. In the end, Tada Juncai reported Okamoto's intelligence, saying that Liu Yimin had fled to the Jilu border area, which was divided by the Jinpu Road, the sea and the Yellow River, and was a veritable place of death in military science. It is a pity that the main force of the imperial army was led by Liu Yimin by the nose, and it has become a tired division, the food is exhausted, the ammunition is insufficient, and it is unable to carry out the attack immediately, so it can only block the siege method first, and wait for the troops to rest and replenish for a while, and then attack the Jilu border area in one fell swoop. The only thing worrying is that Liu Yimin is likely to seize the opportunity to attack Tianjin or escape the Yellow River before the main force of the imperial army completes its deployment, in which case he will have to readjust his strategy.

This was Tada's clarity, first asking for someone to be sent to replace him as commander of the North China Front, and then reporting to Emperor Hirohito and the magnates of the base camp that Liu Yimin might capture Tianjin and cross the Yellow River in the east, so that they knew about it. There was no way, Liu Yimin talked nonsense in Shimén, and all the major newspapers of the day were published, and some newspapers proposed to find out the problem of Shouichi Terauchi, Shanshan Yuan, and Tada Jun to pollute the nv soldiers, and sit back and watch the situation in North China erosive. The three successive commanders of the North China Front Army were once again pushed to the forefront of public opinion.

After writing the secret telegram and asking the confidential staff officer to send it out, Tada Jun remembered that he was very passive and stayed in Shi Mén, none other than Shi Mén Municipal Adviser Katakura Tengaro, the Eighth Route Army killed all the people of Shi Mén's secret service and gendarmerie, why didn't they kill him?

Tada Jun picked up the phone and asked the commander of the gendarmerie to order him to strictly interrogate Shi Mén after he was captured by the Eighth Route Army, and to prevent any of them from being rebelled by the Eighth Route Army.

In the evening, Tada Jun was shocked again: the Eighth Route Army launched an attack on Qingdao!

Tada Jun was completely méng, and in front of Yoshizumi Ryosuke and Hirata Masaju, he sighed incessantly, saying that Liu Yimin is still a chess player! Chess is a good one!
