The military meeting was held for a very short time, and first Okamura Ninji read out the operational instructions of the base camp to all the senior Japanese officers, and then began to assign tasks.

In fact, the battle plan had already been drawn up, and it was jointly drawn up by Okamura Ninji, Yoshio Shinozuka, Iida Sadagu, and the General Staff Office of the Front Army.

Okamura Ninji looked at all the officers present, and the deep and murderous gaze made all the officers dare not look directly. Almost all the officers knew what the role of the commander of the front army was, that was the real butcher, and the soldiers who died at the hands of this commander over the years were not 100,000 but 80,000, and there were more than a dozen famous cities in China alone, including provincial capitals such as Wuhan and Nanchang.

In the process, the troops commanded by Okamura not only defeated millions of Shijina government troops, but also slaughtered tens of thousands of Shijina civilians, which can be called a real iron-blooded person, and it is better to pretend to be a grandson in front of such a person, otherwise it will not be good for him to be targeted.

Seeing that all the officers did not dare to look directly at him, Okamura Ninji was very satisfied, especially even Sakata Sadagu did not dare to argue with him, this result made him extremely proud.

Then, Okamura Ninji cleared his throat and said: "Gentlemen, everyone has heard this combat instruction clearly, in the eyes of the seniors in the base camp, our entire Northern Branch Front Army is a rice bucket, including everyone sitting here, of course, including me, the commander of the Front Army. So what we can do is to wash away our shame with our knives, right? ”

Okamura Ninji's words were very incendiary, so when he finished speaking, almost all the officers shouted: "Hai! ”

Seeing that everyone agreed with his words, Okamura Ninji shouted even louder: "Ladies and gentlemen, since the rise of the Shina Ma Zheng Division in the North China region in the 11th year of the Showa Era, our North China Front Army has become a laughing stock many times, and it has become a shame for the entire Imperial Army. ”

Then Okamura Ninji narrowed his eyes, as if he was reminiscing and remembering, and said: "Think about how majestic and invincible our Imperial Japanese Army was when it first entered China, and how many heroic units such as the Fifth Division emerged, think about the majesty of half of Itagaki Jun's division that defeated the more than 30 infantry divisions of the branch in a hurry, think about the 14th Division led by General Kenji Dohihara almost swept the entire Henan, and then look at all of you here, who was defeated by a Tubalu in just two yearsI, as your boss, am ashamed of you. ”

"Now I give you a chance, a chance to prove that you are not a waste, but a real samurai, and now I command ......"

Hearing Okamura Ninji's battle order, the officers present were surprised and immediately stood up and respectfully prepared to accept the mission.

"Order: The 10th Division, the 35th Division, and the 3rd Chariot Division, as the vanguard of the front, formed the 1st Attack Group and launched an attack on Zhangjiakou, where Ma Zheng's headquarters was entrenched, on August 8, with Ueda-kun in charge of commanding the battle. The 26th Division, the 16th Division, the 7th Independent Brigade, the 8th Independent Brigade, and the 6th Independent Brigade formed the Second Attack Group, attacking westward from the Zhulu line, and within a month it was imperative to drive Ma Zheng's headquarters out of Hebei, and then cooperate with Yasui Jun's first attack group to attack northward, cutting off the connection between Ma Zheng's headquarters and the eastern Hebei units in the overall strategic situation. ”

"The 40th Division, the 41st Division, the 5th Division, and the 37th Division formed the Third Attack Group and sent troops to the Taihang Mountains to encircle and suppress the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region and the Jizhong Military Region of the Eighth Route Army entrenched in the Taihang Mountains. The 33rd Division, the 32nd Division, the 38th Division, the 5th Independent Brigade, and the 9th Independent Brigade are the general reserves, and the aviation regiment is ready to provide fire support to you in response to attacks by various units in Shandong and the Beijing-Tianjin area. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, this battle is related to the national fortunes of our Imperial Japan, and even more importantly, to the reputation of our North China Front. If this battle is won, the situation in North China can be determined, and this battle will be lost..."

Speaking of this, Okamura Ningji suddenly stopped, before this he never thought that the North China Front Army would lose this battle, but there is no absolute thing in the world, there are not a few examples of winning more with less in wars, and Ma Zheng's combat effectiveness is indeed very strong, especially this branch of the army is best at creating miracles.

Thinking of this, Lieutenant General Okamura Ninji's voice suddenly became low, and then said: "Gentlemen, if we lose this battle, I and you really have to meet at the Yasukuni Shrine, we can't afford to lose this battle, and the Great Japanese Empire can't afford to lose, please!" ”

"Hay!"

This time, instead of prohibiting the puppet army from participating in the war, the Japanese army specially transferred 50,000 infantry from the puppet North China security army into three attack clusters to serve as cannon fodder and pathfinder for the Japanese army.

It was the first time that the Japanese army had such a large-scale operation in North China, and the last time the Japanese army dispatched more than 100,000 troops to attack Ma Zheng's headquarters was surprising enough, but compared to this operation, it was simply a drop in the bucket. For a time, the whole North China region was shaken, and the eyes of the whole country and even the whole of Asia were gathered in North China.

It is difficult for Ma Zheng's department to find out about such a huge action of the North China Front, and besides, Okamura Ningji is playing with power to suppress people, and he does not hide it at all, or it is said that Okamura Ningji does not bother to hide it at all.

Although the North China Front did not explicitly announce the number of troops to be sent to the outside world, because this was a military secret after all, the numbers of all the troops involved in the offensive of the North China Front were made public, and all of them could be investigated with a little investigation, except for the reserves hidden in the Beijing-Tianjin area, of course.

After Ma Zheng received the urgent telegram from the intelligence department, he was also taken aback after reading the information collected by the intelligence officers, originally he expected that the North China Front would transfer a maximum of six to seven divisions and regiments plus five independent mixed brigades and 150,000 troops, which was already the limit, after all, the North China Front had just suffered a heavy blow, and even with the support of the nurse, it would be impossible to fully recover in a short period of time.

Just like the Suicha Military Region, even if the more than 40,000 troops lost are given to 100,000 people, they may not be as strong as the original 40,000 combat effectiveness, after all, the newly formed recruit unit cannot be compared with the veterans with rich combat experience.

But Okamura Ningji, an old devil, does have two hands, and as soon as he came up, he gave Ma Zheng a dismount. According to the information collected by the intelligence department, there were at least two infantry divisions and one chariot division between Zhangjiakou and Beiping, as well as a large number of puppet troops, numbering at least 75,000 people.

Moreover, the weapons and equipment of the Japanese army in the direction of Zhangjiakou are more than one step stronger than the Japanese army in the other two places, at least one tank division is worth four infantry divisions, and it seems that the little devils are still determined to recover Zhangjiakou.

There were two Japanese army assembly points on the Jizhong line, one was Zhulu and the other was Laiyuan. The number of Japanese troops in the direction of Zhulu and Laiyuan was about the same, and according to intelligence, the Japanese troops in the direction of Zhulu were about 30,000 people in two divisions.

The Japanese army in the direction of Laiyuan was about two divisions, plus the puppet army that cooperated with the operation, and the total strength was about 35,000 people. Coupled with the Japanese puppet army in Shanxi, the intelligence department judged that the Japanese army had dispatched at least 300,000 troops to attack the Eighth Route Army in North China this time.
