"Report, Nanyuan Airport missed, and all the defenders were shattered."

"Report, Tantuo Temple is lost, and all the defenders are broken."

Report ......

"Your Excellency, the latest battle report on the Ximen front, the commander of the West Gate, Kato Nakasa, was killed 3 minutes ago, the defenders suffered heavy losses, the people of China have launched three attacks in a row, the city gate has been broken, but it has been blocked, and the new commander of the West Gate, Inoue Nakasa, asked for reinforcements." Muto Shaosa reported.

"Baga, can't the strength of a brigade even hold out for 2 hours, now the four city gates in the southeast, northwest and northwest have found the Zhina troops, how can there be reinforcements, Baga!" Tada Jun said angrily.

"Your Excellency Commander, the West Gate is the main direction of attack of the Chinese people, and the heavy artillery unit of the Chinese people is at the West Gate, so the defenders on the West Gate position have suffered extremely heavy losses, and reinforcements must be given." Lieutenant General Yukio Kasahara suggested.

"Kasawara-kun, how long can we hold on like this?" Tada Jundo.

Lieutenant General Yukio Kasawara thought for a while and said, "Eight hours at most, this is when the Shina people have no reinforcements. ”

Tada Jun pondered for a while and said: "Order the 1st Military Police Brigade to immediately reinforce the Ximen position, speed up the march of the Suwon Brigade in Tianjin, and be sure to join the battlefield within four hours." In addition, Kasawara-kun is asking you to lead people to organize the expatriates in the city and the soldiers in the township, and now that the front army needs them, it is time for them to sacrifice their lives for the empire. ”

"Your Excellency, the expatriates in the city are all civilians, including executives of major consortia, clansmen of major families, and even their heirs, and it doesn't seem appropriate for us to forcibly recruit them...... "Yukio Kasahara cautiously suggested.

"Kasawara-kun, how can I not understand what you said, but the matter has come to this point, and there is no way out. Since they followed the Imperial soldiers to China to pan for gold, they thought that such an end might happen, so please carry out your orders! Tada Jun said coldly.

"Hay!" Major General Yukio Kasahara said immediately.

Tada Jun knows what serious consequences will be caused by his order, after all, the expatriates are only people, not the army, but once civilians go to the battlefield with weapons, the enemy will regard them as troops, and they will definitely not be soft when they start a war, this is the general rule of all countries in the world.

It is conceivable how many expatriates will die after this war, and the vast majority of these expatriates are clansmen of various families in Japan or employees of various companies, and if a large number of deaths are incurred, it will inevitably lead to the impeachment of the major forces in the country, and Tada Jun has already imagined his situation after this battle.

But Tada Jun didn't have the slightest way, this was the only way for him to keep Beiping. The fact that the strength of the front army was already stretched was due to the fact that Japan itself did not have too many standing troops.

Before the all-out war with China, Japan's total military strength was only 250,000. The distribution is that there are 11 divisions and 1 aviation regiment in Japan. The Kwantung Army stationed in Northeast China has 4 divisions, 2 independent mixed brigades, 5 independent garrisons, 1 cavalry group, 1 cavalry brigade, and 1 flying group. More than 5,000 people were stationed in the Pingjin area. In addition, there are two divisions of the North Korean Army stationed in North Korea and a Taiwanese garrison stationed in Taiwan, all of which add up to less than 250,000 troops.

Even after the start of the war, the various units of the Imperial Army were expanded on a large scale, but now they have only changed from 17 divisions before the war to 41 divisions, plus some other independent mixed brigades and garrisons, the total strength is only 1 million. However, not all of these 1 million troops were deployed in China, and only more than 800,000 people were deployed on the entire Chinese battlefield.

As for the North China Front Army under his command, there were only 9 divisions and regiments, 9 mixed brigades, a temporary aviation regiment, an air defense team directly under the front army, the 1st and 2nd independent siege heavy artillery brigades, a front army signal team, a railway team, a military station unit directly under the front army, and a military police unit of the Chinese garrison, with a total strength of about 280,000 troops.

280,000 people sounds a lot, but there are actually not many of them distributed to hundreds of towns in the whole of North China, and now all the troops are scattered outside, there are only more than 7,000 imperial troops and more than 4,000 imperial troops in Beiping City, while the Eighth Route Army outside the city has tens of thousands of people, plus the Chinese troops outside the city are also equipped with siege heavy artillery, if you do not organize the overseas Chinese 'volunteer group' to resist. The Imperial Army simply could not hold out on to the arrival of reinforcements.

It will take time to organize the expatriate volunteers, but the fighting outside the city has reached a white-hot stage, so Tada Jun has to press all the few reserves in his hands.

Outside the city of Beiping. The temporary headquarters of the 2nd Division was reorganized.

"Report to the commander, the first brigade, one regiment and one battalion report that they had captured Nanyuan Airport ten minutes ago, killed more than 300 defenders of the airport, and captured 47 Japanese fighters of various types, and destroyed 41 Japanese planes."

"Report to the commander, the second regiment and the first battalion have called, they have captured Tantuo Temple ten minutes ago, annihilated more than 700 Japanese puppet troops, and killed one Japanese soldier."

"Report to the Commander ......"

The good news came one after another, and Yang Chengwu was also very happy, and replied one by one: "Order, all troops immediately divide their troops to reinforce the south gate and the north gate, and assist the main force to attack these two city gates." ”

"Order a regiment and a battalion to immediately garrison Nanyuan Airport on the spot, and let them immediately push all the planes on the airport into the hangar. At the same time, 10 anti-aircraft machine guns were mobilized to strengthen the defense of Nanyuan Airport to prevent Japanese air raids. ”

"Order, immediately send a report to Commander Ma, and report the results of the battle......"

When he received the telegram from the Second Division, Ma Zheng was talking with Vice Admiral Toyoda, commander of the Second Fleet of the Japanese Navy, on the heavy cruiser Ashigara!

Ma Zheng boarded the ship with more than 20,000 elite men from three brigades on the night of the capture of Qingdao, and their target was the port of Tianjin, which was thousands of nautical miles away.

When he learned that Xu Haifeng's special combat team had captured the commander of the Japanese Second Fleet, Ma Zheng was immediately happy, but he knew that this Toyota Vice Commander was not a simple figure, this person's status in the Japanese Navy was extraordinary, and he would even be in charge of the fate of the Japanese Combined Fleet in the future.

Toyoda is a native of Oita Prefecture, Japan, and a graduate of the Naval Academy and the Naval University. Toyota's vice military is the 33rd phase of the navy, and the hammock number is No. 107 out of 180 when he enters the school, but through his own efforts, he became the 26th out of 171 people when he graduated, and because of this, he was quite praised by the officers and soldiers of the same period.

Since 1937, Vice President Toyoda has commanded the Fourth and Second Fleets to participate in the war of aggression against China, and on May 3, Showa 19, after the death of Koga Mineichi. Mitsumasa Yonechi recommended Vice Toyoda, the governor of Yokosuka Town, to serve as the third commander of the Combined Fleet in the Pacific War.

Subsequently, Toyota's deputy commander was in command of the Battle of the Mariana and the Battle of Leyte Gulf, both of which were lost. In the Battle of Okinawa, he ordered the remaining navy to go to sea for a decisive battle, resulting in the sinking of the "Yamato" and other capital ships, which resulted in a crushing defeat. In 1945, he served as the Minister of Naval Orders, and advocated stubborn resistance to the end. After Japan's surrender, he was arrested on suspicion of being a war criminal and released without charge in 1949.

However, Vice Takeshi Toyoda is different from ordinary Japanese officers, because he is a person who resolutely opposes waging a war of aggression against China, and even when Japan launched the Pacific War, he was resolutely opposed, so that he was rejected by the top level of the Japanese army, and even the commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet, Yamamoto Isoroku, looked down on this person, thinking that "Nitoyo" was unavailable, and this Nitoyo was referring to Sajiro Toyoda, who was the vice admiral of the Navy at the time, and Vice Takeshi Toyoda, who was the head of the Naval Administration Headquarters.

Because of this, MacArthur came and arrested him as a Class A war criminal, only to be acquitted later, so Ma Zheng felt the need to meet this interesting guy. (To be continued.) )
