Yoshio Shinozuka said in a deep voice: "Through the understanding of the special high school, the discipline of the Tsuchihachi Road is strict, for example, the temples and villages of Wutai are especially protected and not destroyed, which makes people feel that they can unite the masses and win the hearts of the people. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn order to win the support of the people, the Tubachi Road had extremely strict requirements for military discipline, and during the march, someone picked pears from the trees on the side of the road and gave them to the prisoners, but the prisoners refused to accept them, saying that the peasants' things should not be eaten casually. ”

Another example is that a soldier of the Eighth Route Army who was imprisoned in the Longhua County Finance Bureau was punished for secretly talking to a woman while camping in a certain village, and his military discipline was so strict. Therefore, it is not difficult for us to find that the root cause of the continuous resurgence of the Tuba Road is that there are a large number of ordinary people in China who secretly support them, so we either do not move, and once we want to move, we will completely destroy the foundation of the existence of the Tuba Road. ”

Then Yoshio Shinozuka continued: "Secondly, we also have to counterattack against the combat methods of the Tianbalu Army, through the more than three years of fighting, it is not difficult for us to find that the fighting methods of the Tubalu are full of tricks, the most common is to use the terrain and often ambush our transport troops. As a result, the roads of the Imperial Japanese Army in the southern part of the country with difficult terrain were impassable due to poor public security. In the northern region, transportation liaison must also be strictly guarded, and even long-distance buses between Taiyuan and Yuci have been attacked by Tuba Road. In view of the fact that the Tuba Road has become more and more frequent in the areas occupied by us, and has become a major stubborn problem in future operations, it is suggested that the front army should carry out one or more rectification operations. ”

"Yo Xi!"

"Shinozuka-kun's analysis is very reasonable, but how to deal with the Shina troops, I want to hear your opinion?" Okamura continued to ask.

"Your Excellency, Commander, I believe that in order to deal with the troops of China, it is necessary to do the following: first, the intention of the battle is to be kept strictly secret, and it is necessary to be thoroughly familiar with night operations. Second, all units should be trained in mine search and handling and should carry the necessary equipment. Thirdly, in order to break through the steep terrain, it is necessary to prepare hemp ropes, cane rods, spare horseshoes, etc., and it is necessary to train the war horses. Fourthly, all means should be taken to ensure that communication is unimpeded, and spare radios should be carried. Fifth, it is also necessary to conduct radio tapping and prepare secret reconnaissance teams. Sixth, the method of encirclement compression should be studied, taking into account, in particular, the difficulties of communicating with each other and plugging gaps in mountainous areas. ”

Yoshio Shinozuka picked up a cup of strong tea on the conference table and took a few sips and continued: "The specific method is to treat others in their own way, isn't the discipline of the Shina army strict, then we will make their reputation stinky and ruined, our army can vigorously cultivate troops like the Mashiko Advance Team, and at the same time improve the status of the new government in China, after all, they are a very good weapon for us to eliminate the Eighth Route Army, and stop beating and insulting the armed forces of the new regime, officials, and civil servants in the past, and implement a policy of softness......"

Yoshio Shinozuka spoke in great detail and his advice was quite reasonable, and it was highly feasible. Subsequently, on behalf of the entire special high-tech department, Ping Yuan Rongyi read out some relevant information about the Eighth Route Army, the most important of which was the information about Ma Zheng's department.

Immediately afterwards, Yukio Kasahara, chief of staff of the North China Front, made a report on the deadly scourge of public order in North China in the future, pointing out that the Eighth Route Army was the greatest enemy of the imperial army in North China, and that only by breaking this anti-war organization based on the organic integration of the army, government, party, and people could we be the foundation of public order and rectification at the present stage.

This meeting was quite important for the entire North China Front, although it was only a military meeting at the level of the Front. Only a few dozen officers attended the meeting, but it made all the Japanese officers in North China realize who was the deadliest scourge to public order in North China, and in view of this situation, they concretely studied the comprehensive and organized intelligence gathering work, which set the tone for the next campaign, and thus showed the importance of its significance.

The meeting for the Eighth Route Army and the Suicha Military Region lasted for 11 hours, and although all the senior officers of the Japanese army were exhausted, there was not the slightest trace of displeasure on everyone's face.

Although the meeting was somewhat discordant, the result was very satisfactory. The commanders of the various divisions of the front army were indeed angered by the Ma Zheng of the Eighth Route Army, and they were also frightened, although the big guys did not dare to fight indiscriminately, let alone pack a ticket to say that they would definitely be able to do what to that Ma Zheng, but everyone advocated washing away the humiliation of the front army as soon as possible.

Therefore, there is no doubt about starting a war with Ma Zheng's subordinates, and Yoshio Shinozuka has given a lot of suggestions for specific operational commands, and now Okamura Ninji has a certain confidence in the next battle.

Soon after, the commander of the North China Front Headquarters, Okamura Ninji, issued Commander's Order No. 765, ordering all units of the North China Front to immediately prepare for battle, to store ammunition as quickly as possible to replenish the soldiers, and to intensify the collection of sufficient food and wages from the peasants in the occupied areas.

In the office, Okamura Ninji leaned back on the solid wood chair tiredly, and the whole person was almost paralyzed.

Although his promotion to the post of commander of the Front Army was indeed a fortunate thing for him, since he came to North China, Okamura Ninji found that the situation here was far more difficult than he had imagined. And he, the commander of the front army, is even more like a pins and needles, and his life is very difficult.

And the reason for this, I have to talk about the dead Lieutenant General Tada. Let's put it this way, due to the mistake of Tada Jun's command, Ma Zheng's department took advantage of the loophole, resulting in the serious consequences of killing or capturing nearly 50,000 Japanese nationals in Beiping, Tianjin, and the entire North China region, and many of these people were members of the Japanese noble and wealthy consortium and even the imperial family.

Therefore, after the incident, the whole of Tokyo was in a shout of killing, and almost more than half of the big conglomerates and big tycoons were mainly responsible for the main officers of the North China Front, and many people directly wrote to the base camp and the emperor, clearly asking Tada Jun to pay for the lives of his dead relatives.

Under such a tide, even if the base camp and the emperor wanted to favor the officers of the North China Front headed by Tada Jun, they could not, and the will of the people could not be violated!

Moreover, the power of so many consortiums jointly signed a letter is not comparable to tens of thousands of ordinary people, and in the end, Tada Jun's chess piece had no choice but to be abandoned. Maybe it is the greatest shame in life for a soldier not to die on the battlefield, so when Tada Jun received the emperor's will and the order sent by the military department, he did not defend himself, but only made a request to the emperor, that is, to ask the emperor **** all officers below the rank of lieutenant general of the North China Front, and let these people return to the battlefield as soon as possible, because these people are the officers who know Ma Zheng's department best in the whole of Japan, and they have an immeasurable role in eliminating the Eighth Route Army.

Out of respect for the veteran, Emperor Hirohito agreed to Tada's request without the slightest hesitation, and at this time, Prince Zaihito of the Military Department also wrote a letter asking the emperor to absolve Yukio Kasawara and others of their guilt and return them to the battlefield as soon as possible. Anyway, the death of a lieutenant general commander can completely calm the anger of the people at home.

Although the fiasco in the Battle of North China ended temporarily with Tada's self-determination, and no one jumped out to hold the government and the base camp accountable, but soon another problem was put in front of all the high-level leaders in the base camp.

Although some people have already been responsible for the fiasco some time ago, the murderers who caused the deaths of so many Japanese subjects are still at large, so many people are now pointing the finger at the issue of revenge.

The people directly responsible for the defeat were satisfied with the self-determination, but the murderers who caused the death or disappearance of their loved ones were still at large, so a wave of demands for revenge from the government was once again in Tokyo, and this time even more vigorously than the previous stage of protests.

Some time ago, most of the pressure on the base camp was the relatives of the overseas Chinese who died in the Beijing-Tianjin area, but this time it was all strata of Japan, including high-ranking military officers and government officials, who demanded that the debts of the soldiers and expatriates who died in the war be paid as soon as possible.
