[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 593: Tada Jun takes office (ask for subscription!) , ask for a monthly pass, ask for everything! ）

The war situation in Europe touched the hearts of all the great powers, and they wanted to know very much why Germany had the courage to fight with Britain, France, Poland, and other countries, and even more wanted to know whether this courage could withstand the bombardment of British and French planes and artillery. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info The Americans are watching, the Japanese are watching, the Soviets are watching, but the Chinese can't.

Germany blitzed Poland, Britain and France declared war on Germany, and in addition to the Chinese, the Japanese were also happy.

Japan has always been worried that Britain, France, and the United States and the Soviet Union will intervene in their invasion of China, just like during the First Sino-Japanese War, although they defeated the Qing government and occupied the Liaodong Peninsula and Taiwan, they were stopped by Britain, France, the United States, Russia and other countries, so that the Qing government only spent 30 million taels of silver to redeem the Liaodong Peninsula back.

Although Britain and France have not intervened in the war in Asia until now, it does not mean that they will remain silent, especially as the Japanese army occupies Guangzhou and advances to Guangxi, which is adjacent to French Indochina, Britain and France, which have long coveted Guangxi and other places, will certainly not be willing to be swallowed by the Japanese, and it is very likely that they will intervene in this war at that time.

However, now that Germany has lit the powder keg in Europe, Britain, France, and other countries will not have the opportunity to meddle in Asian affairs in a short period of time, and as for the United States, the world's largest economic power, Japan does not look at it at all, and the army of less than 100,000 people in Japan's opinion only needs two infantry divisions to completely defeat the United States.

It is said that Poland is still resisting now, but Ma Zheng, who is far away in China, has long known that the resistance of the Poles is just in vain, and the strength of the German army has been tested in World War II, and it is the elite of a hundred battles who dare to fight at the same time with all the military powers in the world at the same time, not to mention a small country like Poland, even the red Soviet Union, which was as strong as a polar bear, almost fell at the feet of the mustache army.

But Ma Zheng knows these things himself, there is no need to tell anyone, making a fortune in a muffled voice is the king, as for the rest, let time prove it!

Besides, although Ma Zheng has returned to Shandong now, he still has a lot of things to deal with.

Although the westward advance into southern Hebei achieved tremendous results, the Shandong Independent Division also suffered considerable losses, especially the Xie Wensheng brigade, which was responsible for attacking Shimen, and the losses were even heavier.

Therefore, after returning to Shandong, the first thing Ma Zheng had to do was to order the troops to rest and recuperate and restore their combat effectiveness.

Second, during the attack on the Jingcheng coal mine, the troops rescued more than 20,000 miners, most of whom were soldiers who had been captured on the battlefield, and the other part were ordinary people who had been abducted or even kidnapped.

Except for some of these people, whose physical fitness is relatively good, the vast majority of people's bodies are very badly damaged, and they must go through a long period of recuperation, and how to place these people before their bodies are well recuperated is a problem.

Ma Zheng then convened a meeting of several officers of the independent division, and then divided the 20,000 men into three parts and resettled them in three brigades, and conducted preliminary military training for these people.

In short, Ma Zheng is so busy now, so busy that he didn't even notice that the North China Front had changed its commander.

Peiping. Iron Lion Alley. Command of the North China Front.

Just yesterday, the place just changed owners. The previous owner, former Minister of War Gendai Sugiyama, was ordered to return to Japan by a paper order from the base camp, and the new commander was named Tada.

Born in 1982, Tada Jun is a native of Miyagi Prefecture and the eldest son of Tada, a Sendai feudal priest, and is now 58 years old. Although he is close to the age of six, Tada Jun is not too old as a lieutenant general of the Great Japanese Empire.

However, at this time, Tada Jun was not so happy about being promoted to commander of the North China Dispatch Army, and when he received the order from the military department, Tada Jun had already imagined that the situation in North China must be rotten, but just after listening to the report of Major General Aiko Sato, the head of the North China Region of the Special High-tech Branch, he knew that the situation in North China was far worse than he imagined, and North China at this time was simply a mess.

In the office, Tada sat in a leather chair behind a solid wood desk, while across from him sat Aiko Sato, the head of the intelligence department of the North China Front.

"Sato, I already understand the general situation, you don't need to say any more, you first tell me how many troops we still have and what their combat effectiveness is." Tada Jun asked in a deep voice.

As a soldier, Tada Jun knows very well that no matter when the army is fundamental, the territory can be recaptured if it is lost, but if even the troops are gone, everything will be over, so at this time, Tada Jun is most concerned about the situation of the North China Front troops.

Aiko Sato replied without hesitation: "Report to Your Excellency Commander, the North China Battle Empire suffered heavy losses half a month ago, the 108th Division and the Handan Garrison Command were all shattered, more than half of the Ushijima Division suffered casualties, the 3rd and 4th Brigades and the 1st Wing of the Field Heavy Artillery were also hit like never before, and the 26th, 10th, 21st, 32nd, and 35th Divisions were also severely damaged. ”

"The situation of the Second Army stationed in Shandong is not bad, and the Fifth Division and the 114th Division are quite complete. At present, the front army still has eight fairly complete divisions and six relatively complete infantry brigades, but almost all of the troops are not full, and the statistics collected half a month ago show that our front army still has 160,000 units that are still fighting and another 60,000 lightly wounded, and these wounded can be returned within three months, and the front army still has five aviation wings and two marines that have not been attacked by the Chinese troops. ”

Tada Jun let out a long breath and asked suspiciously: "Sato, according to what you just said, there is a big difference between the data and the external propaganda of the base camp, I don't believe that the front army has lost so many troops in total, and the situation has deteriorated to such a point. ”

Aiko Sato looked at Tada, and then said solemnly: "Your Excellency Commander, there are many reasons for this, such as the base camp deliberately reducing the number of casualties out of political considerations, or to create pressure on the government of China, etc., but more importantly, we have indeed encountered a strong opponent this time, so that we are so embarrassed!" ”

"Rivals?"

"Yes, I wonder if Your Excellency the Commander has heard of the name Ma Zheng?" Aiko Sato asked in a deep voice.

"Ma Zheng, the demon general?" Tada Jun asked with a frown.

"Yes, it's this person, it's because of him that the front army was so completely defeated this time, it was simply defeated." Aiko Sato replied.

"Nani? Is this person so powerful? Tada was clearly a little unconvinced.

"Your Excellency Commander, please pay attention to the Eighth Route Army, especially the one entrenched in the northern grasslands. This unit is strange and profound, and it is very harmful to the front army. He was almost the nemesis of the top of the front army, and since this person appeared in northern China in Showa 12, the imperial northern China front has been repeatedly attacked by the destruction of the department. ”

Immediately afterwards, Aiko Sato talked about the glorious history of Ma Zheng's division: "Your Excellency, the first battle in which Ma Zheng's division attracted the attention of the empire was the heavy defeat of Chanan, which was independently mixed into the first brigade, and the empire almost lost a complete infantry brigade. At this point, the department was out of control, and the front army sent several times the enemy's troops to encircle and suppress this person many times, but it was all in vain, and the department grew stronger and stronger, and even in the 13th year of Showa, the empire's forces in the entire Saibei were all expelled from the country, and even the commander of the Mongolian army, Lieutenant General Hasunuma Pan, was also broken for this, and His Excellency Terauchi Shouichi, who was affected by this battle, was sent back to Japan, and was not incorporated into the reserve force. ”

Later, the front army fought a series of battles with this army, such as the Suixi Campaign, the Chabei Campaign, and the Northern Jin Campaign, and in the end, the front army lost its troops and lost generals. The units at the level of the imperial division that were completely annihilated by this Chinese army included the 2nd Infantry Division, the 27th Division, the 101st Division, the 106th Division, the 108th Division, the Potian Detachment, the Cavalry Group, the 4th Division Brigade, the 20th Division, the 39th Brigade, and so on.
