[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 290: The arrogant general of the temple (the third update is delivered!) ）

This is Aiko Sato, who has not spoken, and suddenly said: "Your Excellency, Commander, it is actually very simple to know if Ma Zheng's headquarters has really been hit as the base camp imagined, you only need to let one person in!" ”

"Who?" Shouichi Terauchi asked in surprise.

"It's Miss Zhizi of the special high class, she has been lurking in Ma Zheng's department for a while, and she must know something. Moreover, the assassination of Ma Zheng caused Ma Zheng's wife to be seriously injured, which is the masterpiece of Miss Zhizi. Aiko Sato said immediately.

"Yo Xi, then let's listen to Miss Zhizi's statement and quickly inform her to attend the meeting!" Shouichi Terauchi said solemnly.

"No need, Miss Kodea is outside the conference room now, and she can come in at any time!" Aiko Sato said.

"Yo Xi, it's still Miss Aiko's thoughtfulness, let Miss Zhizi come in!"

"Hay!"

Soon Yamada Ejiko, who was dressed in military uniform, walked in from outside, and under the instructions of Aiko Sato, she came to the chair specially added for her, first saluted the military, and then said loudly: "Your Excellency, Commander, Yamada Eda, Special High Division, reports to you!" ”

"Yo Xi, Miss Zhizi, I heard that you have been lurking in Ma Zheng's department for a while, can you tell me about the specific situation of Ma Zheng's department?" Terauchi Kobuki.

"Hai, who went undercover in Ma Zheng's department for a month and a half, won the trust of Ma Zheng's wife and sister, and became a nurse in the field hospital. During this time in the field hospital, he learned a lot of secrets from Ma Zheng's department. ”

"Yo Xi, let's be specific, now the front army just wants to know how many troops Ma Zheng's department has, whether it is a few thousand or tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands?" Terauchi Kobuki.

"Your Excellency, Commander, by treating the wounded and looking through the list of patients in the hospital. There are no less than 20 numbers at the regimental level alone, and there are also three or four numbers at the brigade level. Yamada replied.

"Miss Zhizi, as far as I know, the regiment of the Eighth Route Army seems to be not quite the same as the regiment of the Central Army of China, their infantry regiment is only equivalent to the brigade of the Imperial Army, only about a thousand people, if Ma Zheng's department only has a small pattern of about twenty thousand people. Its total strength is only about 20,000, or even less. Major General Muto Zhang, deputy chief of staff of the North China Front, said in a deep voice.

"Your Excellency, I have been in the field hospital since I infiltrated Ma Zheng's headquarters, and I have not visited the front-line troops, so I don't know how big the regiment is. However, he had been to the garrison of the guard regiment stationed in Guisuicheng, and he had heard the commander of the guard regiment say that the regiment had a total strength of 2,700 men, which was equivalent to an ordinary infantry wing of the imperial army. Yamada said again.

Terauchi Shouichi frowned and said: "In this way, the infantry regiments under Ma Zheng's department are all large regiments that are quite at the same level as our army's wing, not the thousand-man regiment of the Eighth Route Army as we think. In this way, the total strength of Ma Zheng's department should be about 50,000. Or even more? ”

Major General Yamashita Fengwen on the side shook his head and said: "Your Excellency Commander, this is not necessarily, you must know that the guard regiment belongs to the guard unit of the headquarters, and the weaponry and staffing are naturally not comparable to ordinary troops, so the situation of other troops cannot be measured by the guard regiment!" ”

"Yo Xi, Yamashita Jun is reasonable! How many troops are there in Ma Zheng's division between you? "Terauchi Kotobuki.

"It should be around 30,000 people!" Yamashita replied immediately.

"Oh, why 30,000?" Shouichi Terauchi asked with interest.

"Miss Zhizi's intelligence is very important, she has found out how many regiments Ma Zheng's department had at least a month ago. But let's not forget that on the front line in Wuhan, Ma Zheng's headquarters suffered extremely heavy losses. According to the information gathered by our intelligence department, there are more than 10,000 graves of the fallen left by Ma Zheng's unit on the front line of Wuhan alone. Including the wounded, it is judged that the losses of Ma Zheng's troops are at least about 20,000. ”

Then Yamashita Fengwen continued: "Based on the calculation that the twenty regiments of Ma Zheng's department are all large regiments of more than 2,000 people, it is estimated that part of its hidden strength will have a total strength of about 50,000 before participating in the Wuhan Raid. After subtracting more than 20,000 casualties, the total number of troops is up to 30,000, or even less. ”

"Yo Xi. Yamashita-kun is right! But 30,000 or 50,000 people are still pitifully weak compared to the front army! You must know that these China Soil Eight Roads are facing the North China Front Army, which has strong combat effectiveness, not the Mongolian army that is unfamiliar with the situation. General Terauchi said proudly.

Seeing that Shouichi Terauchi was so arrogant, the senior officer of the former Mongolian army suddenly frowned. They were originally part of the battle sequence of the Kwantung Army. I didn't have a good impression of the North China Front Army, and it was also a very helpless thing to be placed under the jurisdiction of the North China Front Army, but I didn't expect Terauchi Shouichi to be so big, and there was a meaning of looking down on the Mongolian army in his words.

Harem Jun is also worried that Terauchi Shouichi may be hit if he is so supportive, after all, he has personally fought with Ma Zheng's subordinates and knows the horror of this army. The impression left by this army on Harem Jun is only two words - weird, and you must be cautious in fighting with such an army, and if you are not careful, you will be swallowed and will not even leave scum.

But he also saw the attitude of Terauchi Shouichi, and he had also heard the evaluation of the son of the marshal by his colleagues in the country, and knew that this was an arrogant person, and he was afraid that what he said would not be taken seriously, but would cause the dissatisfaction of His Excellency the Commander because of this, so he opened his mouth and said nothing.

Harem Chun didn't speak, and those senior officers stationed in the Mongolian army naturally didn't say anything, and the discussion about the strength of Ma Zheng's department ended for a while.

After a long time, the commander of the 26th Division, Abe Norihide, opened his mouth and asked, "Your Excellency, how many troops are the Imperial Army going to mobilize for the attack this time?" ”

Terauchi Shouichi thought for a while and said: "This battle against the Eighth Route Army is only against Ma Zheng's department, although it is necessary to send some troops to contain the other troops of the Eighth Route Army, but the number does not need to be too much. Moreover, the combat effectiveness of the other troops of Tubalu is indeed not very good, and there is no way to compare it with the troops led by Ma Zheng. Therefore, this time we do not need many troops to participate in the war, the troops directly under the headquarters and the headquarters of the military stationed in Mongolia are sufficient. ”

General Terauchi Shouichi gave enough respect to Abe Norihide, because Abe Norihide is the only one of Japan's active generals who has not been Shangguan Luda, and he has come up step by step through the grassroots troops, which is simply a miracle in Japanese military circles. Besides, this guy fought bravely and can be used when it matters.

And Abe Norihide is easier to command than an ordinary general, this person knows how to advance and retreat! is a high-ranking general who obeys his orders. Even if he knew that he was dead, he would not retreat, as long as his superiors gave an order, Abe Norihide would rush forward without hesitation. Although this skinny and capable guy often causes trouble, making the base camp very helpless, no one wants to give up such a good knife, so this guy has been in trouble all the way up.

Then General Terauchi Shouichi said in a big voice: "Order: The 16th Division and the 21st Division of the Front Army will complete the assembly in Zhangjiakou within ten days, and form the Eastern Route Army with His Excellency Nakajima as the commander, responsible for the battles on the front line of Zhangbei, Zhangjiakou, Shangyi, Xinghe, Huai'an, Wanquan, and Weixian. The 26th Division, the 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade, the 3rd Independent Mixed Brigade, the 7th Infantry Division of the Imperial Allied Army, and the 9th Infantry Division of the Imperial Allied Army formed the Southern Route Army, with His Excellency Norihide Abe as the commander, responsible for the battles on the front line of Datong, Yanggao, Tianzhen, and Fengzhen. In addition, the 27th Division served as a general reserve and was directly under the Front. All the above-mentioned troops must be assembled within half a month and wait for the order of the general attack of the front headquarters! ”

After the order was given, General Terauchi Shouichi paused and said: "Gentlemen, the shame that the Tubalu Ma Zheng Department gave to me the Great Japanese Empire and the North China Front Army must be washed away with the heads and blood of all the people in the department. Therefore, all the monarchs must take it as their responsibility to wash away the shame of the imperial army and eliminate Ma Zheng's subordinates, please! Imperial Japan onboard (banzai), His Majesty the Emperor onboard (banzai). ”

"The Great Japanese Empire onboard (banzai), His Majesty the Emperor onboard (banzai)."

"The Great Japanese Empire onboard (banzai), His Majesty the Emperor onboard (banzai)."
