[The Iron Blood King of the Anti-Japanese Army] Chapter 131: The General Meeting

Ma Zheng actually thought very simply, he had heard Xu Xiaolin's report before, saying that there had been an accident in the puppet Mongolian army, Yun Wangchuk, chairman of the puppet Mongolian Union Autonomous Government, suddenly fell ill and died not long ago, and there were many conflicts within the puppet Mongolian Union Autonomous Government because of the struggle for power and profit, and caused internal strife in the army. One of the most eye-catching is that Bi Lige, the commander of the 1st Cavalry Division of the puppet Mongolian Army, suddenly resigned and left the Mongolian army with some people.

As for why Bi Lige left the puppet Mongolian army, it was not mentioned in the intelligence, but Bi Lige's person Xu Xiaolin specifically mentioned it to Ma Zheng. This person is the owner of the Huiteng Xile grassland, a descendant of the Chahar Eight Banners, and has a lot of prestige in the grassland. When Li Shouxin formed the puppet Mongolian army, he was appointed deputy commander of the first division and was awarded the rank of lieutenant general.

Not long ago, the 1st Cavalry Division of the puppet Mongolian Army was completely annihilated by Ma Zheng's troops at Zhuozi Mountain, and Bi Lige and his 800 tribesmen were captured. Originally, according to the regulations of the Duqi Division, Bi Lige was going to be shot along with all the puppet army officers. However, due to the fierce opposition of the Mongols who were captured with him, coupled with the pleas of the puppet army, and the fact that he had said something about Bilig, Ma Zheng pardoned his crimes and let him go.

It is precisely with this relationship that Ma Zheng believes that Bi Lige's request for help this time is true. Of course, Ma Zheng also thought of another possibility, which may be a kind of temptation of Bi Lige to the Eighth Route Army, to see if the Eighth Route Army is really a real army of benevolence and righteousness as it appears on the surface.

But Ma Zheng believed that Bilig would not set up a trap for him, after all, an ordinary doctor was not of much value, and Bi Lige did not need to go to great lengths for such a small goal.

The most important thing is that Ma Zheng knows that if he wants to gain a firm foothold in the Saibei grassland, it is necessary to have a good relationship with the Mongolians. The Mongolian tribes closest to the Duqi Division are the Chahar banners, and the Chahar Department is also very strong in history. Now that Bi Lige threw an olive branch to the Eighth Route Army, how could Ma Zheng ignore them.

But Ma Zheng didn't expect that sending his little daughter-in-law to Chahar this time was not smooth at all, and it involved a lot of trouble.

ZHANG Jiakou. Headquarters of the Mongolian Army.

After a period of adjustment and replenishment, the headquarters of the army stationed in Mongolia felt that its strength had basically recovered, so the new commander, Lieutenant General Hougong Chun, decided to hold a general-level military conference in Zhangjiakou.

At the beginning of the meeting, Harem Jun pointed to a lieutenant general sitting under him and said loudly: "Gentlemen, this must be known to all of you, Your Excellency Nakajima Imasago Nakajima, the commander of the 16th Division of the Imperial Army, from today Your Excellency Nakajima and the heroic 16th Division will fight with us and expand the territory for the Japanese Empire!" Everyone's applause welcome! ”

After a round of warm applause, Nakajima stood up and said: "I am Nakajima, and my unit was ordered to be placed under the command of the headquarters of the Mongolian army, and we will be colleagues who will fight together in the future, please take care of me!" ”

"Bang Bang!" There was another round of applause in the conference room.

Then Harem Jun pointed to the two generals under Nakajima and said: "These two are the confidants and favorite generals of His Excellency Nakajima, and they are right-hand men!" This is Major General Naoji Sakai of the 19th Brigade, and this is Major General Jiro Sugawara of the 30th Brigade, everyone is welcome! ”

There was another round of applause, but it was obviously inferior to the warm atmosphere of Nakajima's time, after all, the people who came to the meeting this time were all generals in the battle sequence of the Mongolian army, and it was really difficult for the two major generals of the same rank to make them feel respectful.

Harem Jun obviously knew this, and didn't say anything, but pointed to a beautiful female officer who was fat on his right hand and said: "Gentlemen, this is the person in charge of the North China Region of the Special High School of the Military Department, Aiko Sato, and Miss Sato of the Eighth Route Army's Ma Zheng Division, who is active in the Chahar area, knows more than us, so Your Excellency Terauchi specially asked Miss Sato to come over to provide us with intelligence help, everyone is welcome!" ”

Aiko Sato got up and nodded, then sat down without saying anything!

After the same sparse applause, Harem Chun got up and said: "Before the meeting officially begins, I will read out an order from the base camp: In view of the fact that the Imperial Japanese Army has successfully occupied the two provinces of Suicha in China, most of North China, and the Beijing, Shanghai, and Hangzhou areas along the coast to Hangzhou Bay after a year of fighting, but the war has not ended as expected by the base camp, so the occupied area needs to send a considerable number of troops to serve as guards, so the troops for the offensive are obviously insufficient, so the base camp decided to form 10 new divisions. ”

"The specific establishment is: the 15th Division, division commander Lieutenant General Yoshio Iwamatsu; 17th Division, Division Commander Lieutenant General Taiyoshi Hirono; 21st Division, Division Commander Lieutenant General Washzu Leadhei; 22nd Division, Division Commander Lieutenant General Tsuchihashi I; 23rd Division, Division Commander Lieutenant General Michitaro Komatsubara; 27th Division, Division Commander Lieutenant General Masaharu Honma; 104th Division, Division Commander Lieutenant General Toshio Miyake"

"Bang Bang!" This time, there was no need for Harem Jun to say anything, and the Japanese generals in the conference room took the initiative to applaud, and the applause was quite warm.

Then Harem Chun said again: "Except for the 23rd Division and the 104th Division, which will be transferred to the Manchurian area, the remaining 8 divisions will all be transferred to the battlefield in the Zhina Pass by mid-July. At that time, the strength of the empire in the battlefield in the China Pass will reach an unprecedented 23 divisions. In addition, the strength of the Kwantung Army in the Kanto Theater will be increased to 8 divisions. ”

"Gentlemen, in addition, the latest battle report of the Central China Front has once again come from the base camp! After the Japanese Imperial Army occupied Xuzhou on May 19, it continued to pursue the west and southwest areas of Xuzhou, intending to annihilate the retreating Chinese government forces and take the opportunity to expand the occupied area in preparation for an attack on Wuhan from the south of the Pinghan Railway. In order to open the way for the southern front to attack Wuhan along both sides of the Yangtze River, the Japanese base camp ordered the Central China Dispatch Army on May 29 to coordinate with the Chinese fleet to capture Anqing, Madang Fortress, Hukou Fortress and Jiujiang from Wuhu to the west along both sides of the Yangtze River, as an advance base for attacking Wuhan. ”

"On 7 June, the Taiwan Brigade of Rear Admiral Shigeichi Hata, stationed in Zhenjiang, sailed to Wuhu to join the navy in preparations for an attack on Anqing. At the same time, the 6th Division stationed in Hefei began its southward offensive on 2 June, but moved extremely slowly because of the destruction of all roads and bridges along the way, the rain and mud, and the occasional attacks by the troops of the 26th Army of Xu Yuanquan in China. After the battle, the 11th Brigade occupied Shucheng on June 8, and then continued to attack Tongcheng, and planned the Taiwan Brigade and Marine Corps to attack Anqing from the land. And occupy Anqing at 7 o'clock on June 13! ”

"In addition, the 11th Brigade of Major General Sakai Tokutaro, which advanced south from Shucheng, was resisted by the 27th Army of Janssen of the Shinagawa Army, and the progress was very slow due to the complete destruction of roads and bridges, but the 47th Wing of Hasegawa Masaken Osa still occupied Tongcheng on the 13th."

"On June 22, the 1st and 3rd Brigades of the 2nd Infantry Wing of the Botian Detachment, and the 1st Squadron of the Mountain Artillery were the advance team and the Navy sailed from Anqing, and the team followed up and occupied Xiangkou on the 24th, and occupied the Madang fortress area at 9 o'clock on the 26th."

Speaking of this, Harem Chun's voice suddenly rose and said loudly: "Gentlemen, all kinds of signs have shown that the empire is preparing to capture Wuhan, an important city in central China, and at the same time, this is also the consensus reached by the top leaders of the empire on the issue of comprehensively capturing China!" So you rejoice, we people have caught up with a good era of striving for military merit! ”

As soon as Harem Chun's voice fell, there was even more enthusiastic applause in the conference room!
