The third part of the Bloody War of Resistance, Chapter 9, Rushing, and Section 5 Assault

Tatsutakanosuke's heart sank, knowing that Okamura Ninji might have accepted Nakajima's plan in his heart, otherwise he would not immediately transfer the peace rescue ** away from the front line. The whole \ Ben \ Xiao \ said \ net did not wait for Takitaka no suke to think of a countermeasure, Okamura Ninji continued.

"Major General Nakajima's analysis is reasonable, General Shina has always liked to surprise him, but the possibility of his northward advance cannot be ruled out, and the Fifth Division immediately secretly marched eastward, Dong'a, and after arriving, secretly built a bridge over the Yellow River. The telegram ordered Matsui Shigen to immediately assemble the independent mixed Fifth and Sixth Brigades on the Jiaodong Peninsula in Jinan, the independent mixed Seventh Brigade in the Huimin area to assemble in Jinan immediately, and the 19th and 46th Divisions to assemble in the Tai'an area. ”

Tani Shoufu's face was gloomy, and Okamura Ninji actually accepted Nakajima's suggestion, which made him feel unacceptable, he stood up and protested: "Commander"

Okamura Ninji glanced at him gently, nodded slightly, and showed that he knew, his tone changed, and he became stern again: "However, Major General Nakajima, your disobedience to the orders of your superiors is extremely shameful, so I must severely punish you." ”

Nakajima didn't reply, but bowed his head slightly, indicating that he accepted the punishment. Okamura's tone remained unchanged: "I will now demote you to Dazuo, remove you from the position of commander of the Fifth Division, and change to acting commander of the Fifth Division." ”

Although he was not sent to the Nakajima Military Tribunal, this punishment should satisfy Tani Toshio, who was demoted from a general-rank officer to Osa, which was the first time in the Japanese army, and at the same time, he acted as the division commander with the rank of Osa, and Nakajima Yasuken also set a record in the Japanese army.

"If you disobey the order again, I will send you to a military court, and I will punish you for several crimes, and I will never forgive" Okamura Ninji glared at Nakajima coldly and fiercely. This Nakajima is like this, sometimes I really don't know if he's Japanese, the Japanese have always been subtle, polite, and obedient, but he's proud, flamboyant, and has no scruples about doing things, no boss likes him, but this kid is talented and talented, making it difficult for the boss to really deal with him.

"Hai" Nakajima replied loudly, raising his head and chest.

Seeing that things were decided like this, Tachitakanosuke decided to delay as much as possible to buy time for his husband.

"Commander, the fifth and sixth mixed brigades only withdrew to Jiaodong shortly after the battle of northern Hubei, and the Jiaodong GC Army has not been completely wiped out, if the fifth and sixth mixed brigades are transferred out of Jiaodong now, the local defense force will be too thin, and the GC army will resurrect, it is better to wait for the peace to arrive, and then they will leave."

Chief of Staff Oshiro immediately agreed, Okamura Ninji was taking a risk this time, and he had evacuated almost the entire imperial army in Shandong. Shandong is a key area of guerrilla activities behind enemy lines in China, and there are guerrilla units operating from the Jiaodong Peninsula to the Yimeng Mountains. These guerrillas are complex, with the Chinese government, the GC army, and bandits of all sizes.

After Matsui Shigen arrived in Shandong, he was determined to strike at these guerrillas behind enemy lines, he first aimed at Jiaodong, he mobilized the 59th Division, the fifth and sixth mixed brigades allocated by the North China Dispatch Army, peacefully rescued the ** Wuhua Cultural Department, with a total strength of 100,000, carried out a three-month sweep of Jiaodong, and dealt a heavy blow to the Jiaodong GC Army and the Kuomintang Army guerrillas, the Kuomintang guerrillas almost all withdrew from Jiaodong, and the GC Army suffered heavy losses, scattered in the large and small mountainous areas of Jiaodong, and the threat to the imperial army was greatly reduced.

Subsequently, Matsui Shigen moved his division to the north to encircle and suppress the Hebei-Shandong border area of the Eighth Route Army in Huimin, Qingyun and other places, forcing the main force of the Jilu border area to move westward and enter the Hebei-Shandong-Henan border area, and the few troops left behind were also forced to disperse guerrillas.

After successive successes, Matsui Shigen pointed the blade at the Yimeng Mountains, where the Shandong China Army had the strongest strength, where there were two armies of the China Government Army, as well as the New Fourth Army and the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army in the GC Army.

According to the current situation in Yimeng Mountain, Matsui Shigen first attacked the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, swept away their guerrilla areas on the plain, and then forced the mountainous area, and the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army adopted the same tactics as the Jizhong troops; dispersed confrontation and concentrated annihilation; The troops scattered and advanced to the rear of the Japanese army, fighting in the rear of the Japanese army, and in the mountainous areas, the walls were cleared, mines were laid everywhere, and the sweeping troops suffered heavy casualties.

But at this critical moment, Okamura Ninji decided to launch a large-scale sweep in North China and transferred the 15th Mixed Brigade back to North China, which made Matsui Ishine fail. After that, Matsui Shigen relied on local troops in Shandong to continue to exert pressure on the Yimeng Mountains. However, at this time, the Sulu Theater had noticed the plight of the Shandong troops, and transferred the newly formed 12th Army to Yimeng Mountain to reinforce the Shandong battlefield, and Yimeng Mountain ** adjusted its deployment. However, at this moment, the Japanese army's combat objects were still the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, and the two sides continued to stalemate, and the Japanese army could not eliminate the GC Army in the mountains, and the GC Army could not repel the Japanese army.

But at this time, the Battle of Northern Hubei began, and the Fifth and Sixth Mixed Brigades reinforced Northern Hubei, which was like drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle, and in one fell swoop collapsed all the offensives of Matsui Shigen, and the Japanese army was forced to withdraw from the mountainous area, and the Eighth Route Army took the opportunity to recover all the lost territory, and at the same time, the Jiaodong GC Army also showed a resurgence trend.

After the Battle of Northern Hubei, the Japanese army in Shandong did not attack again, and the Kuomintang and Communist forces in Shandong did not attack, or even make moves to stimulate the opponent, and both sides were in a strange calm, waiting for something.

Okamura Ninji was also very clear about the situation in Shandong, he hesitated, and finally nodded. After the meeting, Gu Shoufu and Nakajima returned to Henan together. In the evening, Tatetakanosuke left the headquarters, and his depth quietly followed a figure, Qingcheng Xiaoshan.

After Nishimura's death, he instead strengthened his suspicions about Takanosuke. But he could not say it to anyone, he could only do it quietly himself, in the dark.

"Okamura Ningji's dog nose is quite long" Looking at the information sent by Wang Xiaoshan overnight, Zhuang Jihua sneered and scolded.

"When the interruption continues, it is chaotic. Commander, let Du Yuming and Song Xilian dispatch. Xu Zuyi suggested.

"Good order Sun Zhen, within two days, conquer Bengbu," Zhuang Jihua said in a serious tone, now that the picture is poor, there is no need to hide it anymore: "Tell Sun Zhen that I only want Bengbu, both good and bad."

Xu Zuyi and Cai Tingkai both understood that when Zhuang Jihua attacked Wuhan, he strictly forbade the use of heavy weapons, and now he is telling Sun Zhen to let go of the attack, as long as he takes Bengbu, it will be a victory, and he doesn't care about any civilian casualties, take Bengbu, and cut off the Jinpu line.

"Telegraph to Du Yuming, Song Xilian, Chen G, Thunder"

Thunder, the code for the beginning of the offensive, 500,000 troops, divided into three routes, like three torrents rushing towards Xuzhou, Heze, and Suxian.

"Tell the madman Wang that the action must be fast and fierce, and the first battle must show the majesty of our army, and we can't let Du Yuming and Song Xilian look down on our Eighth Route Army." Chen G leaned on the side of the jeep without hurry, looked at the troops that were rapidly advancing eastward, and said to the communications director. In order to conquer Heze in the shortest possible time and march to the canal, he made Wang Jshan, the captain of the team who was the best at fighting tough battles among his subordinates, as the striker.

Now passing in front of him is the artillery unit of the general corps, a full twenty-four seventy-five mountain guns and sufficient ammunition, all of which are made in Japan, which Zhuang Jihua secretly allocated to him, and he formed an artillery regiment.

A strong roar was heard in the distance, and a large black smoke appeared in the sky, and the earth trembled slightly. A convoy of tanks appeared on the road, and the leading tank fluttered the same blue sky and white sun flag.

Chen G looked at the tanks that were getting closer and closer, and suddenly said: "*** Zhuang Cultural Revolution"

On the northern front, the target of Chen G's troops was Heze, and he was accompanied by Gao Shuxun's new Eighth Army and Xie Zi's new 110th Division, with Chen G as the commander-in-chief.

The teacup on the "pop" table bounced up heavily, making two crisp sounds, Song Xilian's face turned red with excitement, and he yelled at the staff officers around him: "Order the troops to go out according to the predetermined plan, and tell Luo Qi to take Dangshan tonight."

Song Xilian, the commander-in-chief of the middle route, commanded the Second Group Army and the 36th Group Army, and the troops were ready to attack, and Song Xilian took the Eighth Army of the 36th Group Army as the vanguard, assigned the tank regiment to the army, and rushed to the more than 3,000 Japanese troops in Dangshan with the tactics of slaughtering chickens with knives.

"Brothers, five years ago we lost Shandong, five years ago, the Japanese slaughtered 40,000 of our compatriots in Xuzhou, now the time has come to take revenge, bring the flag" Du Yuming stretched out his hand to take the flag, opened it suddenly, and the white cloth was written with eight big characters in bright red - revenge, blood washed with blood

"Give this flag to Zhang Lihui and tell me that I will hear the news of his conquest of Huaibei tomorrow"

Du Yuming, commander-in-chief of the South Road, commanded the 50th Group Army of the First Group Army, and the troops on this road were abundant, and the two group armies were both three-armed forces, with a total strength of 120,000 troops.

Du Yuming's attack was in two directions, the 50th Group Army attacked Huaibei, and the First Group Army rushed to attack Suxian. The Japanese army in this area was weak, Du Yuming boldly deployed four armies, he and Lan Yundong only controlled one army, and the remaining two armies were divided into two routes.

Zhang Lihui led the 60th Army, the main force of the group army, to attack Huaibei, and Situ Fei led the 77th Army to attack Suixi, and the Japanese army had only 1,600 men in Huaibei and 800 in Suixi.

Huang Botao led the 55th Army to attack Fuli, and Wang Guobin led the 59th Army to attack Suxian. Su County is an important town on the Jinpu line, is the south gate of Xuzhou, the Japanese army stationed here 3,000 troops, Du Yuming for the sake of prudence, handed over the heavy artillery brigade of the group army to Wang Guobin, asked him to conquer Su County in one fell swoop.

"Telegraph to Qiu Qingquan, thunder"

Xu Zuyi was trying to remind Zhuang Jihua that Chen Geng's troops on the North Road were relatively weak, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to carry out the task of forcing the canal, but he didn't expect Zhuang Jihua to have another Qiu Qingquan, isn't Qiu Qingquan in Xinzheng?

"I have long ordered the First Mechanized Army to quietly move to Minquan, and only the few tanks in Xinzheng are real, and the rest are made of wood." Zhuang Jihua saw Xu Zuyi and Cai Tingkai's doubts, so he explained lightly: "The First Mechanized Group Army was assigned to the command of Chen G and was responsible for clearing the Japanese army in the Heze area. ”

After finishing speaking, Zhuang Jihua ordered again: "Telegraph Guan Linzheng, dagger"

To the east of Suqian, a small forest shaded a few thatched huts, the staff officer hurriedly pushed the door in, Guan Linzheng took the telegram and stood up, his constricted thick eyebrows stretched, and he ordered loudly without raising his head: "Order Zhang Yaoming to launch an attack on Suqian immediately; Ordered Li Zongfang to immediately launch an attack on Si County** Finally waited for this day"

After Guan Linzheng received the order, he immediately transferred the newly formed 12th Army back from the Yimeng Mountains and transferred the 47th Army from Yancheng to Sihong. In recent years, he has fought several times with the Japanese army in the Suqian area, and he has not invested in the main force, and the two sides have won and lost half. Suqian is the bridgehead of the Japanese army to invade northern Jiangsu, the Japanese army has a heavy army here, with a total strength of 5,000 people, of which 4,000 are in Suqian and 1,300 are in Si County.

The iron flow is rolling, the swords and guns are lined up, and the military flag is displayed; In the sky, fighter planes roared, and the air force units of the Jiangbei Theater commanded by Gao Zhihang had a total of 500 combat planes of various kinds to provide air cover for the Xuzhou operation.

600,000 troops, 1,300 tanks, 10,000 artillery pieces of all kinds, and 500 combat aircraft of all kinds. China has never had such a strong force. In the past two thousand years, in the six years of the Anti-Japanese War, there has never been such a powerful steel group on the territory of China.

"Attack, Attack" Qiu Qingquan, who was sitting on the tank command vehicle, shouted at the chief of staff with an expressionless face: "The fate of the tank soldiers is to attack non-stop, and it doesn't matter if there are any infantry and bandits."

Qiu Qingquan was extremely dissatisfied with Zhuang Jihua in his heart, the reason was that his mechanized troops were assigned to the infantry, and it was actually the troops of the GCD, even if it was the eldest brother Chen G in the first phase, the principle of tank warfare was that the infantry was assigned to the tank, and the tank was the protagonist of the war

Qiu Qingquan crossed the main force of Chen G's troops, and then divided the troops into three roads, the first road was the main force, which was led by him to attack Heze directly; The second route was led by Major General Zou Zhenyue to Dingtao, and cooperated with Chen G's troops to attack Dingtao; The third route was led by Colonel Jiang Weiguo, and made a detour to Chengwu to attack Juye in a roundabout way; The three-way army galloped across the Luxi Plain, crushing all resistance with its tracks.

Zhuang Jihua finally showed his sword, and also quelled the telegraph war in Nanjing Beiping, and also shook Nanjing Beiping at the same time.

In the war room, the staff officers shuttled non-stop, and summarized the situation from all over the country to the chief of staff Itagaki Seishiro, and the deputy chief of staff, Harem Jun, marked the situation on the map one by one, showing more and more clearly the scale of the squadron's attack, Nishio Shouzo's face was pale, Itagaki Seishiro was silent, and the movements in his hands became heavier and heavier.

No one spoke, and the staff officers carefully slowed their movements, and the voice of the report was as calm as possible.

General China was too cunning, and the hundreds of thousands of troops on the south bank of the Yellow River were actually just bait, feints, and attracted the main force of the North China Dispatch Army to the north bank of the Yellow River, but his main force was in Xuzhou Liangjian.

Xuzhou, this ancient battlefield, the transportation hub of the Huanghuai Plain, and the most important strategic point in East China, is the goal of General Zhina

I have something to do today, and I came back late, so the update will be a little late. I beg your pardon
