In order to create more trouble for the Eighth Route Army, attract and contain the main force of the Eighth Route Army, and disrupt the offensive rhythm of the Eighth Route Army. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 InfoOkamura Ninji, who was the commander of the North China Front, finally thought of this unit trapped in Zhangjiakou.

Earlier, in order to deal with the surprise attack of the Eighth Route Army on Zhangjiakou, the Kwantung Army also deployed an elite Japanese main combat unit in Zhangjiakou. Although the weaponry and scale were far from reaching a division, it also made the Eighth Route Army dare not attack easily.

At present, the Eighth Route Army bypassed Zhangjiakou and only deployed some troops to besiege it. This kind of somewhat rogue tactic really made the Japanese army feel in a dilemma. After all, in feeding such a force, a lot of supplies are consumed every day.

Although the Japanese army was in Zhangjiakou in the early stage, they gathered a large number of materials, weapons and ammunition. But looking at the situation at the moment, neither the North China Front nor the Kwantung Army could contain the continuous advance offensive of the Eighth Route Army.

This means that it is almost impossible for the Japanese troops stationed in Zhangjiakou to wait for reinforcements to open a communication channel with them. In this case, Okamura Ninji felt that the strong man should break his wrist once.

Taking into account the troops stationed in Zhangjiakou, they were actually under the jurisdiction of the Kwantung Army. Taking advantage of the telegram sent by the Kwantung Army to help, Okamura Ninji wanted to negotiate his battle plan with Ume Jimiro.

According to Okamura Ningji's opinion, at present, the Eighth Route Army has recovered most of Rehe, and its forward troops have forced the Shanhaiguan area. Judging from the current situation, it is not easy to contain the offensive of the Eighth Route Army.

In the telegram sent to Mei Jimiro, Okamura Ninji also bluntly said: "At present, the situation in Chengde is critical, and once Chengde falls, Beiping will also face the dilemma of encirclement on three sides. Once North China is endangered, it will also affect the overall combat deployment of the empire.

In order to buy more time and disrupt the offensive rhythm of the Eighth Route Army. By surprise, the troops stationed in Zhangjiakou were transferred out and launched an attack on the Eighth Route Army from the rear.

In the case of a two-sided attack, it may be able to change the current unfavorable situation in the war between North China and Rehe. The worst can also buy valuable time for reinforcements to arrive. Once reinforcements from the two divisions arrive, our department will also launch a full-scale counterattack! ”

Regarding Okamura Ninji's analysis, after some consideration, Mei Jimiro also felt that his analysis was reasonable. The most important thing is that the troops stationed in Zhangjiakou at the moment are indeed lonely.

Although there is no shortage of supplies in Zhangjiakou for the time being, at the moment, whether it is the Kwantung Army or the North China Front Army, it is a time when troops are urgently needed. It is indeed a bit of a waste to put such an elite army in Zhangjiakou.

Moreover, according to the information collected from the special high school class, Fu Zuoyi's department, which had confronted the Zhangjiakou garrison earlier, has now entered the Baoding area. This means that the number of troops deployed by the Eighth Route Army in the Zhangjiakou area is not too much.

Thinking of this, Mei Xianji Miro finally nodded and said: "Send a telegram to the commander of the Zhangjiakou garrison and ask him to prepare to abandon the city and break through." At that time, its units will directly liaise with the North China Front Army and temporarily come under the control of the North China Front. ”

Even among the senior generals of the Japanese army, there will also be competition or hostility. But when it comes to major interests and issues, Mei Jimiro is also very calm. The most important thing is that he is also beyond the reach of Zhangjiakou's troops.

Since Okamura Ninji personally sent a telegram, hoping to ask for this main force, he couldn't afford not to give face at all. If the North China Front can reverse the current unfavorable situation, it will actually be very beneficial to them.

Once North China really falls, their entire plan to invade China will be severely damaged. Even the northeastern region, which they have occupied for many years, will become volatile because of this. So, at this time, they should also work together for a while!

In fact, there is another reason why Mei Yanji agreed to Okamura Ninji's temporary secondment of the Zhangjiakou troops. That was the siege during this time, and the Japanese puppet army stationed in Zhangjiakou was also a little unstable.

From the launch of the Eighth Route Army to the current attack on the Chengde area, the Japanese army stationed in Zhangjiakou can be said to have made Zhangjiakou unbreakable. But the problem is that the fortifications they built at great cost did not work at all.

Whether it was the 3rd Infantry Division earlier or the 35th Army coming from behind, they did not launch a large-scale attack on Zhangjiakou at all. Except for a few tentative shells, there was not a single real siege at all.

In this way, it undoubtedly made the Japanese puppet army in the city very depressed. It's like making a big table of good dishes and waiting for the guests to taste them with joy. As a result, the guests who said that they were going to come actually missed the appointment to release the pigeons, and their efforts were naturally in vain.

Originally, after the 35th Army left for Baoding, the Japanese army in Zhangjiakou also sent some reconnaissance troops to test the strength of the Eighth Route Army outside the city. But each time, these reconnaissance units will pay a certain price.

In the end, the Japanese garrison officers stationed in Zhangjiakou also realized that the Eighth Route Army had also deployed blocking troops near Zhangjiakou. Unless they choose to break through collectively, it will be difficult to infiltrate or counterattack in small groups.

Originally, in the eyes of many Japanese soldiers, the risky reconnaissance mission out of the city became an errand for many Japanese soldiers. Even if many Japanese soldiers knew that it was very likely that they would not be able to come back if they went out of the city to reconnoitre.

But for many Japanese soldiers, they couldn't stand the days of staying in the city and basking in the sun every day. During the siege of Zhangjiakou, the people who originally lived in the city basically ran away.

Except for some officials and their families of the puppet Mongolian government, and the families of some officers and soldiers of some units of the puppet Mongolian army, there are basically no ordinary people living in the city. Over time, the little devils who had been holding back for a long time also began to find trouble with these people.

Seeing that the little devils came to trouble themselves and even their families every day, the pseudo-Mongolian army in the city naturally complained. As the head of the puppet Mongolian government, King De also knew that his situation was not as good as before.

In response to this situation, he could only persuade his subordinates: "Bear with it!" Who called us worse off? ”

'I can't bear it! These little devils are getting more and more excessive! Some time ago, the families of many of our officers and soldiers let them suffer from the scourge. We are fortunate to work hard for the little devils, and in the end we can't even protect our own families, so what kind of soldiers and what kind of officers should we be? ’

With some resentful puppet Mongolian troops, they finally made an uprising in the city. Even if it was finally suppressed by the Japanese army in the city, this also made the relationship between the puppet Mongolian army and the Japanese army in the city completely antagonistic.

Knowing that this was the reason for staying in the city for too long, the Japanese garrison officer also gave Ume Jimiro advice, hoping that the headquarters could give tactical guidance. Continue to hold on, but I am afraid that the troops in the city will be in chaos sooner or later.

It was because of these considerations that he received a telegram from Okamura Ninji, and Mei Jimiro also made a personal favor. On the other hand, the Zhangjiakou garrison officer who received the telegram also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

As a supervisor sent to the puppet Mongolian government, he is afraid that he knows that his subordinates are not good at making trouble. But now, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, even if he knows that his subordinates have gone too far, he can only turn a blind eye.

After all, the Eighth Route Army on the side of Chengde and Chifeng has been defeated, and almost all the territory under the jurisdiction of the puppet Mongolian government has been recovered. In this way, these puppet government officials who support them are of little use.

It's just that considering these puppet Mongolian princes, they still have a lot to do with today's puppet Manchukuo. This garrison officer is not easy to kill them all. But for the puppet Mongolian army that dared to resist, they naturally would not pity and resolutely suppress it.

In order to ensure the smooth implementation of the siege plan, the garrison officer specially called his subordinates and read out the orders of the headquarters. Soon a wing commander said: "General, break through in the direction of Beiping, and there are no troops to respond?" ”

'Nope! However, as long as we can break through to the vicinity of Beiping, the North China Front will send troops to meet us. In addition, when we break through, the air force will also provide air support.

In order to ensure the success of the breakout, I decided to implement a night breakout. In the past two days, you have sent some elite subordinates to carry more dry food. After leaving the city, do not return to the city for the time being, and distract the attention of the Eighth Route troops outside the city.

As for the Imperial Cooperative troops in the city, we don't have to pay attention. Except for a few important personnel, who broke through with our main force, the rest of the Imperial Alliance army held out in the city. Hope you can delay us a little longer! ’

It's just that after the garrison's words came out, someone soon said: "General, in the current situation, it is still impossible to expect these imperial troops to defend the city!" What happened earlier has already made them resist. ”

'No problem! Whether they defend it or not, we will all withdraw from the city. Originally, I also considered whether to keep some troops to continue to hold on. But I think it doesn't work if the troops are left behind.

If they choose to abandon the city and surrender to the Eighth Route Army. I believe that those eight paths will not give them good fruit to eat. Even if we leave with the front foot, I believe they will choose to flee from the city with the back foot.

In this way, they can also distract us from some of the eight ways. I believe you should all know that some of the officers of the Imperial Association Army in the city, according to the policy of the Eighth Route Army, are also on the list of those who do not enjoy the treatment of prisoners.

Those officers of the Imperial Allied Army wanted to survive, and they could only choose to fight back desperately. At worst, they will lead these troops to become bandits. In short, I believe it will be good for us to leave these behind. ’

As soon as this consideration came out, the rest of the Japanese officers thought about it, and it seemed that the same was true. After all, most of the officers of the puppet Mongolian army who are qualified to stay in Zhangjiakou at the moment are their hardcore traitors.

If he didn't feel that taking them with him, it might slow down the marching speed of the troops, and the garrison officer also considered taking them to break through with them. But in the end, he still felt that this time their breakthrough action had to be sudden and fast.

If you take these Imperial Alliance troops to break through together, it is very likely to drag down your own troops. After some comprehensive consideration, he still decided to let these Imperial Allied Troops choose for themselves, and whether they live or die depends on their luck! (To be continued.) )
