Peiping. Nanyuan Airport
Despite the scorching sun and unbearable heat, in order to show respect, Senior General Okamura Ninji personally led almost all the high-ranking generals of the North China Front Army and the high-ranking traitors of the Beiping puppet regime to the airport to greet the arrival of the field observation mission of the Chinese Dispatch Army Command.

To be honest, Okamura Ninji actually didn't like this field observation group very much. But this is also human nature, those guys didn't come for the purpose of learning and communicating.
Because of this, Okamura Ninji originally did not plan to come to pick up the plane in person, but when he learned that the officer who led the team this time was actually General Seishiro Itagaki, chief of the general staff of the Chinese Dispatch Army, he changed his attention.
Okamura Ninji and Itagaki Seishiro are also old acquaintances, like some predecessors in the base camp, Okamura Ninji admires Itagaki Seishiro very much, and even once took Itagaki Seishiro as an example, plus Itagaki Seishiro's prestige in the army also made him have to pay attention to Itagaki and his party.
"Kobayashi-kun, when will Itagaki-kun arrive at the airport, are we here a little early?" Okamura asked in a deep voice to Major General Kobayashi, the new deputy chief of staff of the front army.
"Your Excellency, half an hour ago, the Dispatch Army Headquarters sent a telegram saying that Your Excellency Itagaki has already passed through the Shandong region, and according to the itinerary, it should be there immediately, and I think we should wait!"
"Yo Xi!"
When Okamura Ninji and Major General Kobayashi were talking, there was a low buzzing voice over the airport, and Okamura looked up and saw that under the protection of dozens of fighters, several large transport planes were slowly descending, and the blood-red sun symbol on the fuselage of the plane made Okamura Ninji feel a burst of excitement.
Soon the plane landed smoothly, and then the cabin door was opened, and a group of well-dressed senior officers slowly stepped off the plane.
Perhaps they were not used to the high-altitude flight of the plane, so more than half of the more than 100 members of the field observation group had poor faces, and more than a dozen of them were even covered in filth, and it seemed that they had just vomited.
General Itagaki didn't see anything, he was dressed in a standard imperial uniform, looking mighty and graceful. Seeing Seishiro Itagaki in a general's uniform, Okamura Ninji immediately walked up quickly and bowed his head and bent over, then bowed respectfully, and then said loudly: "Welcome to His Excellency the Chief of the General Staff!" ”
Seishiro Itagaki smiled and said, "Okamura-kun, I'm just here to see your old friend this time, and as for the affairs of the Field Observation Corps, Hattori-kun is in charge!" ”
With Itagaki Seishiro's words, a middle-aged man wearing a major general's uniform stepped out and came to Okamura Ninji, and then said respectfully: "Hattori Taro, lead the 121 members of the Field Observation Group of the China Dispatch Army Command to report to you. ”
Okamura Ninji was very satisfied with Major General Hattori's attitude, waved his hand and said with a smile: "Hattori-kun, the arrival of the Field Observation Mission is an honor for our North China Front, and it is also a good opportunity for us to strengthen exchanges and learning, please get in the car, we will talk back to the headquarters, please!" ”
Okamura lowered his posture very low, he knew that the Major General Hattori in front of him, not to mention that this military rank was only a major general, but he was deeply trusted by His Excellency Yan Shunroku.
The most important thing is that this Hattori General's strategic vision is extremely ruthless, and he also has a certain prestige in the army, so he still shouldn't easily offend such a promising general. Besides, he also asked him, and there was no way to lower his profile.
Back at the headquarters of the Iron Lion Alley, Okamura Ninji brought Seishiro Itagaki and others to the conference room, and explained the attack and defense of Zhangjiakou and the overall plan against Ma Zheng's department.
After listening to the battle plan drawn up by the North China Front, Seishiro Itagaki did not express his opinion, although in his opinion there was still much to be improved in this battle plan.
In particular, Okamura Ninji actually ordered the troops not to harass the common people of China wherever they passed, let alone allow the troops to take food on the spot and slaughter the people of China, which was something that Itagaki Seishiro could not agree with.
In Itagaki Seishiro's view, the people of China are not people at all, and the common people of China are even more so, and seeing one and killing one is the support for the Great Japanese Holy War.
But Seishiro Itagaki knew the purpose of his visit to North China this time, and he wanted to understand a real North China and the real North China Front. So what he had to do was to look and assess with his eyes the real combat effectiveness of the North China Front.
Seeing that Seishiro Itagaki did not revise or give advice on the battle plan drawn up by the General Staff of the Front Army, Okamura Ninji was very happy, because Seishiro Itagaki was also notoriously bad in the entire Japanese Army, and once there was anything wrong or a loophole in the battle plan that passed through his eyes, he would not hesitate to point it out, and even scolded the formulator for being stupid.
Since this battle plan can now be approved by Seishiro Itagaki, it means that His Excellency Itagaki still approves of this visual feast prepared for them by the front army, and Okamura Ninji is a lot more relieved.
The fighting on the front line in Zhangjiakou is still in full swing, and even if Seishiro Itagaki and others arrived, it did not change in the slightest.
Like the commander of the North China Front, Okamura Ninji, the commander of the 10th Division, Lieutenant General Ueda Toichi, was also a capable commander. Although the offensive in the first two days was not smooth, the 10th Division lost a lot of excellent soldiers. But as an iron-blooded officer, he knows very well the position he is in now, the 10th Division, the 35th Division, plus the 3rd Tank Division and the 5th Brigade of Field Heavy Artillery, if such a large and heavy army cannot be solved by even a dozen regiments in Zhina, then his command ability will definitely be questioned.
"Your Excellency the division commander, Your Excellency Itagaki and others have arrived in Xuanhua, should we send troops to protect them along the road?" Major General Toshio Yanagawa, commander of the 33rd Brigade, asked.
Ueda looked at Yanagawa Toshio with dissatisfaction, and then said: "No need, we are a field army, what we should do is how to defeat the enemy in front of us, as for protecting those guys, it is what the honor guards and gendarmes have to do, and it has nothing to do with us." ”
"Yanagawa-kun, I am very disappointed in the performance of your 33rd Brigade during this time, I hope that after those guys from the Field Observation Group come, your 3rd Brigade will not let me down again, otherwise you should know the consequences!"
"Hay!" Yanagawa Toshio knew that he and the entire 33rd Brigade had indeed performed very poorly during this time, and if it weren't for his outstanding military achievements, he would have been taken down a long time ago, so he could only bear the rebuke of Lieutenant General Ueda Jiichi.
Under the order of Ueda Toichi, the 10th Division and the technical units that assisted the attack carried out the 11th attack on Zhangjiakou City this week.
It was still the same old routine, first the non-stop bombardment of aviation regiments and field heavy artillery, and then the follow-up of tank units. As for the main infantry of the Japanese army, they could only follow behind the chariots, and even when the chariots were marching in, the Japanese artillery units were still firing.
On the position of the third brigade and one regiment, Yang Shilang roared angrily: "******, this group of Japanese devils raised by bitches, how can they think about shells and hit our position as if they don't want money, **** losers, I'm afraid it will take hundreds of thousands of oceans to support it in this half an hour!" ”
"Commander, stop scolding, the devil's chariot is coming up? Most of our minefields have been cleared by the devil's artillery, and the rest can no longer inflict a devastating blow on the devil's chariot troops, this time it is another hard battle! ”
"Donkey Day, our turtle shell is repaired quite well, and the little devil can't do anything about us for the time being."
Then Yang Shilang continued: "Lao Liu, you ask the soldiers to prepare all the conscienceless guns, once the devil's chariot drives to the first anti-tank trench, push out the conscienceless cannon, then the devil's heavy artillery will not dare to fire, and then it will be time to look at us!" ”
Yang Shilang is very satisfied with the unconscionable cannon, that guy is powerful and very light, and the operation is very simple, a cannon can be operated by up to four people.
Although this kind of artillery has many shortcomings, one is that the range is too short, but the accuracy is too poor, but it is very effective against the devil's chariots, and more than 30 Japanese chariots have been lost under the unconscionable cannon in the past two days. (To be continued.) )
