Chapter 40 The Great Bombing of Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong, and Henan
ps: The dream of a strong country (Baidu Tieba) has been established, welcome everyone to visit, I will gradually send some of the valuable information collected to share ^_^ with you
In 1943, in the occupied area of the Yanhuang Republic, the Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong, and Henan regions had been ravaged by the iron hooves of the Japanese for five years, and with the unsatisfactory results of the 100-regiment battle and several sweeping campaigns in 1942, the high-level of the Japanese Yanhuang Dispatch Army and the base camp had realized the threat of the Red Party army, especially the high-level of the Japanese Yanhuang Dispatch Army, and they were deeply aware of the discomfort and threat of the Red Party army, so they demanded that the subordinate armies and divisions under their jurisdiction seriously analyze and summarize the tactics of the Red Party army. Reduce the extent of its harm and damage to the occupied territories.
At the beginning of April, the military headquarters of the North China Front, one of the main forces of the Yanhuang Dispatch Army, was an old but relatively clean Qianqing residence, surrounded by yellow-white walls, thick dark brown solid wood beams, several bent and stretching wires wrapped around it, and a few light bulbs hung. In the middle of the room, there is a large-scale sand table, about 5 meters long and 3 meters wide, which is densely inserted with signs such as the plaster flag of the Japanese and the blue sky and white sun flag of the bald party.
In front of the sand table is facing the wooden door of the house, and on the left and right sides stand a circle of senior officers and staff officers of the Japanese Army, all of whom are wearing yellow turtle uniforms, and with a few specially grown mustaches, which is super ugly. Behind the sand table was a thin bench, and some bald Gangcun Ningci wore a cloth hat, sat in the middle of the stool with a cigarette in his left hand, his eyes squinted slightly, staring carefully at the sand table in contemplation. For the person of Gangcun Ningci, the later generation of Mr. Peng spoke highly of him, and Mr. Peng said to him: "This guy Okamura is a very powerful person, and he has many places that are worth learning from." Dr. Yamada told me that he was one of the three great masters of the Japanese (Aikugawa and Tojo) and that I had some benefit from him. Okamura has a lot of skills, and he can be realistic and meticulous. Every time he attacked, he had to investigate for half a year and make preparations. Without the internal line to initiate and cooperate with the 'maintenance', he does not carry out 'cannibalization'. He doesn't show off, he doesn't talk much, he doesn't be rude, and you can't tell his movements from his speech. He often collects our stuff extensively and studies our stuff. He is the deputy chief of staff of the DPRK and Northeast China, and he is very sophisticated, and he is the most powerful of the six commanders of the North China Garrison Army. ”
Of course, the current Gangcun had no idea that the future defense minister of the Yanhuang Republic would have such a high opinion of him. Now he is more concerned with how to solve the problem of the 1943 Japanese Army, especially how his North China Front Army can do something in the strategic stalemate stage. The recent lack of supplies on all fronts shows that the Empire's East Asian war is at a dangerous strategic inflection point.
"Your Excellency Gangcun, the personnel have arrived, is there a meeting now?" Sanji Oshido, the first general staff member on the right hand side of Okamura, asked Okamura Ninji, commander-in-chief of the North China Front.
"Let's get started!" Okamura Ninji took a puff of his cigarette and said lightly.
"Hi!! First of all, Deputy Chief of Staff Yoshida gave a brief report on the basic situation in the areas occupied by our army at the beginning of the year and on the analysis of the results of the campaign to suppress and correct the attack. Oshiroto Sanji continued.
"Hi!! Your Excellency Gangcun, according to the analysis of the situation summed up in the occupied areas of our army, the Yanhuanghong Party army in the occupied areas has become the primary obstacle to the development of the occupied areas in North China, and the Yanhuanghong Party has adopted the so-called principle of seven points of politics and three points of military affairs, and has adopted deceptive propaganda, threats of force, and paralyzing political tactics to carry out underground activities to win over the people. In particular, they do not have sufficiently uniform military uniforms, and often hide in the clothes of ordinary people, and carry out activities such as cold guns and raids, which pose a great threat to the travel of scattered soldiers and personnel of our army. Although the casualties in the districts and counties were not large, when summed up at the headquarters, the non-combat attrition of our army was relatively large. Yoshida paused, then continued, "According to its characteristic tactics and actual threats and hidden dangers, we propose to change the focus of combat security in the occupied area from dealing with the Yanhuang Bald Party army to dealing with the Yanhuang Red Party army, so as to strengthen the internal stability of the occupied area." Therefore, it is suggested that in addition to the necessity for the various corps of the North China Front Army to strengthen the implementation of the characteristics of their own field army, they should also strengthen their mutual cooperation with the Yanhuang regime (Wang puppet regime), promote their active activities, enhance the garrison capability of their security forces, share the pressure of our army, and order them to cooperate with our own Zhengzheng expedition team when carrying out encirclement, suppression, and rectification operations. ”
"Good! With regard to the results of the encirclement, suppression, and correction campaign, how are your assessment results and countermeasure analysis going? Gangmura Ningji interjected and asked.
"Hi!! With regard to the Zhengzheng crusade, we propose to continue to strengthen the blockade line on a large scale, and on the basis of not hindering the normal flow of materials in the areas occupied by us, we should improve the inspection stations on all major transportation routes, allocate enough soldiers, and buy some vacillating merchants and institutions to serve and deliver information to our army. With regard to the problem of insufficient numbers of the imperial ** contingent in the occupied areas at the present stage, it is suggested that the tasks of interrogation and inspection on the blockade line, as well as the confiscation and disposal of illegal materials, be mainly entrusted to the police and security forces of the Yan and Huang side (Wang puppet regime), and order the Xinmin Association and the cooperatives in the occupied areas to directly participate in the blockade activities, and the Baojia Self-Defense Corps to contact and cooperate with each other. At the same time, the field units of our army are gradually occupying the enemy-occupied areas, advancing the blockade line, striving to occupy the material production areas in the enemy's areas, and weakening and reducing the enemy's long-term war potential. In addition, after analyzing and studying the so-called guerrilla warfare methods put forward by the Yan, Huang and Red Party troops, and in light of the actual combat results of each unit last year, we suggested that the imperial troops, which were directly involved in the crusade and garrison, should strive to achieve strict military discipline and entrenchment at the same time, so that the people in the occupied areas can be at peace and restore their trust in our army, so that the residents can cooperate with our army and take up the task of self-defense, so as to reduce the pressure on our army's military strength on the basis of squeezing out the living environment of the Yan, Yellow and Red Party troops. According to last year's combat experience, it is particularly pointed out that when defending a county town without a wall, the general defense method not only occupies too much of the precious strength of the imperial army in vain, but also greatly reduces the number of the crusade team, so it is suggested that we can use buildings that are convenient for defense and attack on the periphery or corner of the county town or village to build strong fortifications, supplemented by bunkers, and set up support points with obstacles at the peripheral points outside the distance of grenade throwing. At the same time, it greatly increased the difficulty for the Yanhuanghong Party to conquer the defensive positions of our army. ”
Hearing this, Gangcun stopped smoking and said: "In addition, it is also necessary to strengthen and speed up the implementation of the policy of using China to contain China. ”
"Hi!! According to the requirements of the 'Armed Groups in the Yanhuang Sector and Guidance Outline' issued by the base camp to the Yanhuang Dispatch Army, the army directly under the Yanhuang government (Wang puppet regime) plans to expand from 110,000 to 250,000 this year; The North China Security Force, which is expected to increase to 100,000 troops, is now recruiting for military training and is estimated to be operational by September this year. We estimate that the increase in the strength of the army directly under the Yanhuang government (Wang puppet regime) will greatly enhance the ability of the Yanhuang government (Wang puppet regime) to coordinate with our army. ”
"Okay, let's get here first, and I'd like to hear your battle plan for this year!" Gangcun interrupted.
"Hi!! As for the actual battle plan for this year, Kazuo Ikuma is in charge of explaining. General Staff Oshido Sanji interjected.
"Hi, Your Excellency Okamura, in the 18th year of Showa (1943), our Front Army and friendly forces planned to launch two battles in the northern area of the Yanhuang River, namely the Spring Operation and the Autumn Operation, which were planned to be jointly implemented by the 11th O Division, the 27th Division and our North China Front, please look at the sand table," as he spoke, Kazuo Ikuma picked up a slender wooden root from the side and pointed to an area, and then said: "The first battle is the spring operation, and the first phase of the operation is tentatively scheduled to be launched on the night of April 18, It is expected that after defeating a small number of enemies along the way, by the morning of the 20th, our army will be able to form an encirclement with a diameter of 50 kilometers centered on the Huikou Basin, and then put into an advance team to carry out a bold sweep in the encirclement, interspersed, divided, annihilated, and encircled and suppressed the enemy forces in the encirclement. It is expected that by the night of the 21st at the latest, the enemy can be compressed in an encirclement with a diameter of 8 kilometers centered on Hongya Mountain, and finally, a general attack is planned to be launched on the 23rd to completely destroy the enemy in the encirclement. After successfully destroying the enemy, it will enter the second phase of the spring operation, and it is planned that at the end of April and early May, the Yoshida detachment (under the jurisdiction of seven infantry brigades) will start from Quyang, the Shirataki detachment (under the jurisdiction of five infantry brigades) will start from Mancheng and Wanxian, and the Iute detachment (under the jurisdiction of five infantry brigades) will set off from Baomaguan to form an encirclement on the line of Juncheng, Beiqingxing, and Gucheng..." At this time, suddenly there were a few "woohoos" outside...... crotch ......", followed by a deafening continuous explosion,
"Enemy attack, quick, lie down, Your Excellency Gangcun! Dangerous!! General Staff Oshido Sanji said as he threw himself at Okamura Ninji and pressed him down under him.
"Lie down, lie down!" As he spoke, Izumi threw away the wooden stick and threw himself to the ground.
Two seconds later, an aerial bomb weighing 250 kilograms exploded not far from the side of the house, and the adobe house could not withstand such a powerful shock wave, and immediately collapsed halfway.
The bombing lasted about 10 minutes before it ended. On the spot, he killed Yoshida, deputy chief of staff, and seriously injured Miharu Oshido, chief of staff of the North China Front Headquarters. Gangcun Ningji was protected by Osehiro Sanji, not only did he escape the god of death by luck, but he was not hurt at all on his body. But when he walked outside, he saw that the entire North China Front Army Headquarters was broken and ruined because of a large-scale bombardment, and it was a mess, and the miserable situation was repeated (Wang Fan rushed to the next bombing point because he was in a hurry, and he didn't know that this was Gangcun's old nest, otherwise he would definitely take the kid Gangcun to the pot!!). )。 By 1 p.m., after Gangcun had resumed communication with the outside world, it had received telegrams that the outside army had been bombed, and the assembly places of the troops of the North China Front, important military installations, military factories, army barracks, arsenals, and supply depots near large and medium-sized cities had all been attacked by a large number of aerial bombs falling from the sky, and the 4th Brigade of the Independent Gang stationed in Shanxi, the 3rd Chariot Division in Suiyuan, and the 36th and 37th Divisions of the Japanese Invaders in southern Shanxi were all attacked, and the casualties were relatively large. At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, when I reported the casualties to the headquarters of the Japanese Yanhuang Dispatch Army, I learned that not only the North China Front, but also the entire Japanese Yanhuang Dispatch Army's troops in Jin, West, Shandong, and Henan were attacked by a large number of aerial bombs, and the losses of troops were large, directly killing more than 7,000 people (after all, the military strength of the Japanese Invaders was still very scattered, some were in the county seats, and some were in the rural strongholds, Wang Fan's bombing could not cover so meticulously), and more than 21,000 people were injured, of which more than 4,000 were seriously injured. Among them are a large number of middle-level adjutants (after all, in large and medium-sized cities, there are more middle and high-ranking officers).
After the incident, the Japanese base camp and the Japanese Yanhuang Dispatch Army Headquarters analyzed and studied, and the General Staff Headquarters gave a speculation that the bombing was likely to be a high-altitude strategic bombing jointly carried out by the Stars and Stripes Republic and the Soviet Union. The base camp of the Japanese invaders believed that this was very likely to be the foreshadowing of the landing in Shandong by the Stars and Stripes Republic, focusing on destroying the defense facilities and counterattack potential of the imperial ** team in Yanhuang, so they asked the Japanese Yanhuang army to make preparations for anti-beach landing operations in order to deal with possible landing operations in the future. For a time, the Japanese army in the occupied areas of North China began to shrink its forces and concentrate in Shandong and other coastal areas, thus greatly reducing the pressure on the border areas between the Yanhuanghong Party and the Bald Party and the Japanese Bandits.
