"Miss Yunzi?" Okamura Ninji said, "What did Miss Yunzi say?" ”

The agent of the special high class suddenly bowed his head and replied: "Your Excellency Commander, Miss Yunzi said that Jingcheng County is very chaotic now, and the 39th Group Army seems to have split into three factions, the Tumen Fortress Garrison Brigade is a mutinous faction, the Baoshan Division, the New 6th Division, the New 9th Division, the Cavalry Brigade, the Artillery Brigade, and the Taihang Garrison Brigade are the Baoyue faction, and the 181st Division is temporarily neutral, but it has released a cordon to the Baoyue faction and the mutinous faction at the same time, and the hostile atmosphere is very strong. ”

"Yes, since Miss Yunzi has said so, it seems that something really happened to the 39th Group Army." Okamura Ninji nodded, and then asked the communications staff officer, "Kondo-kun, is the information provided by the forward observation post of the Fourth Army Corps reliable?" Could the 39th Army be acting? Instead of live ammunition being used on the battlefield, only empty cartridges? ”

"This ......," the communications staff officer shook his head and smiled bitterly, "the Fourth Army didn't make it clear. ”

Okamura Ninji snorted coldly, and then said to Kato Keiroku, the head of the special high section, "Kato-kun, immediately send a report to Miss Yunzi, and ask her to find out the truth about the Tumen Mutiny as soon as possible, especially to find out, whether the Battle of Tumen that broke out today is true?" Are the China soldiers who fell in front of the bunker of Tumen Fortress really dead? ”

Without waiting for Keiroku Kato to agree, the agent replied loudly, "Your Excellency, Commander, I'm afraid this is no longer possible. ”

After saying this, the agent added: "Miss Yunzi also said in the telegram that the various factions of the 39th Group Army have invariably imposed martial law on the entire defense area, and everyone has been told to stay in the house, and those who go to the street without permission will be killed once they are discovered. ”

"Well, martial law?" Okamura Ninji already had some faith, but now he began to waver again.

If the 39th Group Army has really split, and if the Baoyue faction and the mutinous faction have really started a war, then it is actually normal for various factions to impose martial law, but Okamura Ninji always feels that there is a problem in this, could this be that the factions of the 39th Group Army are deliberately covering up something? Could there really be a problem with today's Battle of Tumen?

Okamura was groaning when a new telegram was received from the communications office.

After reading the telegram that had just been transcribed by the communications office, Tanabe Moritake immediately turned to Okamura Ninji, who was silent, and said: "Your Excellency Commander, the army's special service in Shimen reports that the eight regiments of the main force of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army in central Hebei and more than 20 regiments of the Eighth Route Road in southern Hebei have completed their assembly and are approaching the Pinghan Railway!" ”

Okamura Ninji's face changed slightly, and he strode over to the huge map hanging on the wall.

In less than a moment, the latest battlefield situation was marked on the huge military topographic map, and Major General Hirata Masatsu, the deputy chief of staff, picked up the command post and introduced to Okamura Ningji: "Your Excellency Commander, please see, the main force of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army is currently resting in the non-security areas of the counties in central Hebei, and they are the same as the Tuba Road in southern Hebei, if they want to reinforce the Tumen Fortress, they must first cross the Pinghan Railway guarded by the imperial army!" ”

"Your Excellency Commander, do you want to stop them?" Moritake Tanabe asked.

To give way or not to give way is a difficult question, and it is also the main proposition that Okamura has repeatedly weighed.

Failure to give way may lead to the rapid defeat of the mutinous faction, and the army may lose the God-given opportunity to reap the benefits.

If the Eighth Route Army's reinforcement of Tumen is fake, and the attack on the Pinghan Railway is true, then once the army gets out of the way, it will suffer heavy losses, and once the strategic support line of the Pinghan Railway is seriously attacked, it will seriously affect the implementation of the "encroachment" policy in southern Hebei.

Okamura Ninji pondered for a moment, and finally made a decision: "Get out of the way and let them go!" ”

After saying this, Okamura Ninji said to Tanabe Moritake: "Order, the 5th, 10th, 18th, and 20th divisions, the 5th brigade of field heavy artillery, and the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th bomber brigades of the aviation regiment directly under the front army, all officers and soldiers will be canceled, and all units must complete assembly within two days and complete combat readiness within five days!" ”

Tanabe Moritake and Hirata Masashi suddenly gasped, Your Excellency the Commander is so generous!

The four divisions directly under the North China Front Army and the only 5th Brigade of the Field Heavy Artillery poured out, and Okamura Ningji this time was going to sacrifice his good tricks and implement large-scale long-distance maneuvering concealed enemy tactics, which were in history, but the Eighth Route Army suffered a lot, but I don't know if Yue Weihan, the traverser, can crack it.

"Tanabe-kun, Hirata-kun, remember what I just told you? Maybe you don't have to wait until next year, you can completely solve the 39 Army! Okamura Ninji smiled and said, "If there is really a mutiny in the 39th Group Army this time, the imperial army can certainly reap the benefits of the fisherman, if this is just a trap, then the imperial army will definitely give Yue Weihan a big surprise!" ”

………… The northern foot of Taihang Mountain, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

Chief of Staff Zuo gasped and rushed into the war room, and said angrily: "It's a fight, boss, Li Qinglong, a muddy boy, and Chi Chengfeng, a stupid big black guy, are fighting!" ”

Speaking of which, Chief of Staff Zuo is one of the few elites in the party who have attended the Whampoa Military Academy, and like Division Commander Liu, he has studied at the Frunze Military Academy in the Soviet Union.

"What, it's a fight!" Mr. Peng said angrily, "Who gave the order to let Li Qinglong fire?" ”

This is really a wave of unsettled, wave after wave, the murder of Master Liu and others has not yet been settled, and there is another accident here.

"How about Li Qinglong?" Chief of Staff Zuo said with a wry smile, "The eight main regiments of the 129th Division, as well as more than 40 main regiments of the Southern Hebei Military Region, have already approached the Pinghan Railway, and they have threatened to reinforce the Tumen Fortress. ”

"It's the other way around!" Mr. Peng became more and more angry and said, "Who gave the order to let them act without permission?" ”

After saying this, Mr. Peng said murderously: "Check, investigate thoroughly, I want to see who picked the head?" ”

"Boss, now is not the time to be held accountable!" The chief of staff of the left said with a wry smile, "Let's think about how to redeem it, the Party Central Committee and [***] have repeatedly ordered that the situation cannot be further expanded, but now, the situation has not only expanded, but also has a tendency to completely get out of control, the Eighth Route Army really wants to fight with the 39th Group Army, and the only one who can benefit is the little devil!" ”

"Hey, that's weird for you to say." Mr. Peng has been fighting for many years, accustomed to countless ups and downs, although he has a hot temper, he is actually very shrewd, he quickly found a suspicion, and said to the chief of staff on the left, "Old Zuo, Wang Madman, Yue Weiguo, they all seem to have suddenly eaten the heart of the bear and the courage of the leopard, and they actually didn't even listen to the orders of the headquarters?" ”

"yes." The chief of staff of the left said suddenly, "Boss, it's really a little strange for you to say that." ”

The control of the troops has always been very strict, and the party branches have been built up to the company, so the paternalistic style that prevails in the ranks is basically non-existent within the Eighth Route Army, and the commanders at all levels of the Eighth Route Army may be arrogant, but it is almost impossible for them to openly disobey the orders of the headquarters.

Mr. Peng and Chief of Staff Zuo had also made a series of great changes agitated before, so they ignored this fact.

But as soon as they calmed down now, the two of them immediately discovered something suspicious, why did the troops of the 129th Division and the Southern Hebei Military Region suddenly become disobedient? However, the headquarters organs have sent several telegrams to the 385 Brigade, the 386 Brigade, and the headquarters of the Southern Hebei Military Region, repeatedly ordering them not to act rashly.

"Is there a deception in it?" Mr. Peng said suddenly.

"You mean......" Chief of Staff Zuo said in horror, "Yue Weihan is singing a one-man show?" ”

"Hahaha, Lao Zuo, I really let you say it, Yue Weihan is really singing a one-man show!" Chief of Staff Zuo's voice fell, and a hearty laugh suddenly sounded from outside the war room, Mr. Peng and Chief of Staff Zuo turned around when they heard the voice, only to see that Commander Liu of the 129th Division, Deputy Division Commander Xu and Brigade Commander Chen of the 386th Brigade had entered together.

"Lao Liu, Lao Xu, Chen Geng!" Chief of Staff Zuo said happily, "I knew you would be fine." ”

"Wait, what did you just say, Lao Liu?" Mr. Peng said impatiently, "Yue Weihan is really singing? ”

"Who's to say it's not?" Division Commander Liu shook his head and said with a wry smile, "I also just learned the truth from Comrade Ma Zhankui, Yue Weihan is really calculating this time, a mutiny, the result is that all the forces of the enemy, me, stubborn, and pseudo will revolve around him, I heard that Chairman Jiang in Yucheng has not slept for two days and two nights in a row, so he is waiting for the result." ”

"But what the hell is going on?" Mr. Peng said more and more eagerly, "Yue Weihan, who does he want to earn?" ”

"Who else?" Division Commander Liu smiled and said, "Of course, it is to earn Okamura Ningji, if nothing else, this time Okamura Ningji is afraid that he will suffer a big loss, not to mention anything else, the strategic support line of the Pinghan Railway, which Okamura has rebuilt with great difficulty, cannot be saved, and the 28th Division stationed in Shimen will be finished." ”

"Oh my god, 28th Division!?" Mr. Peng was shocked, "Yue Weihan has such a big appetite!" ”

"But it's hard to say exactly what the outcome will be." Master Liu said, "Now it depends on whether Okamura Ningci can withstand the temptation, if he can't resist the temptation and orders the army to let the Kaipinghan Railway, then the little devil will be in big trouble, if Okamura Ningci is not tempted, then Yue Weihan is estimated to not be able to get any bargain." ”
