In the headquarters, Tada Jun saw that all the senior officers who could arrive had arrived, counted the number of people, and found that there was a lot less, so he couldn't help but sigh a little, and asked in his mouth, "What do you think should be done in the battle behind?" ”

One officer asked, "The key now is, when will our reinforcements arrive?" Is there any news from the general of the temple? ”

Tada Jun shook his hand and said, "Don't expect reinforcements, General Terauchi organized seven wings to enter Shanxi from three directions, all of which were blocked at the checkpoints, it is said that it will take half a month at the earliest, the battle report said that there are a large number of Eighth Route Army and strong fortifications at those checkpoints, the entire ground is full of mines, and there is a terrifying machine gun, less than one or two of the charging soldiers can go back alive, and there is no aviation support, and the heavy artillery can not be pulled up because of the road conditions, there is basically no hope. ”

Yoshimoto Sadachi said, "Now we have two choices in front of us, one is to defend Taiyuan City, you probably know, Yanmen Pass is now also in the hands of the Eighth Route Army, our reinforcements will not come here in a short time, we will hold on for at least half a month." If we choose to move in, we must also fight through Yanmen Pass, there are only two brigades in Datong now, and the reinforcements from Suiyuan will take a week to arrive, if we choose to move in, we must move quickly, otherwise most of the Eighth Route Army will catch up, and we will not be able to transfer successfully. ”

The commander of the 108th Division, Xia Yuan Xiongmi, said, "I think we can defend it, Taiyuan City is a big city, the defense is strong, it is not so easy to capture, as long as you insist on street fighting, there are Chinese people, the Eighth Route Army does not dare to use any kind of whistling heavy artillery, just an airplane, I think it can last for more than half a month." ”

Ushijima objected, "Half a month? We only have less than 10,000 people, and the most optimistic idea in half a month will not be left 3,000 people, even if the reinforcements arrive, the Eighth Route Army will still have at least 200,000 troops, which can completely block the reinforcements and annihilate us! I think it's better to turn into the top! ”

Xia Yuan Xiong Mi stood up and said, "General Ushijima, are you not scared by the Eighth Route Army?" ”

Ushijima retorted, "It's all at this time." Do you still think that you can win a defensive battle with these wounded soldiers alone? Once our three divisions and regimental headquarters and one army headquarters were annihilated by the Eighth Route Army, that would be the real joke. ”

For a while, the supporters of the two plans quarreled, and Tada Jun was also hesitant.

Takeda stood up at this time and said, "Generals, please be quiet and listen to the commander's decision." ”

Tada Jun looked at Takeda Takeo and said, "Takeda-kun, do you have any ideas?" ”

Takeda Yixiong hesitated, stood up and said: "There is a poet in China Du Mu who wrote a poem, the content of which is that the victorious and defeated soldiers are unexpected, and the family affairs are unexpected, and the shame is a man. The children of Jiangdong are talented. The comeback is unknown. I think the generals can think about a thing or two. ”

An officer snorted, "We listened to this hairy boy's opinion last time, and what did the whole army go out to encircle and annihilate the Eighth Route Army, so that we became what we are now, and we still listen to him!" Isn't that enough? ”

Takeda's face turned red when he heard this, he clenched his fists, lowered his head and didn't speak.

When Ushijima saw Takeda Takeo like this, he stood on the chair angrily, pulled out his katana, slashed it on the table, and shouted, "Who said it just now, come out for me!" Our way of life was fought by Takeda-kun and the soldiers! We can now sit here and talk. Thanks to Takeda-kun's bravery! Was there something wrong with his earlier plans? Didn't we surround a large number of the Eighth Route Army? We are losing in intelligence! Lose in the arrogance of the soldiers! If you don't have a good idea, shut up for me, whoever is going to attack Takeda-kun! I'm crazy on Ushijima, but no one recognizes it! ”

Ushijima's family was a former Fukuoka feudal clan with a prominent family background, and his eldest brother was the commander of the Kwantung Army, General Eitaro Hatata. The second uncle is Shunroku Hatata, which makes him not afraid of anyone in the army, and his character is extremely strong and daring, and he has always favored Takeda Takeo since the last combat meeting. Especially after Takeda Yoshio led his troops to break through the encirclement and wounded barracks, he regarded him as the pillar of the future Japanese army. It's time to cut people.

Tada Jun shouted, "Ushijima, come down for me!" However, although Ushijima was reckless, he was right, the main reason for our defeat this time was pride and an important mistake in intelligence, Takeda's proposal was agreed by me and Terauchi Shogun, and anyone who opposed Takeda was against me and Terauchi Shogun!! ”

After speaking, Tada Jun said to Takeda Yixiong, "You don't beat around the bush, just say it!" I hear you mean we should move in? ”

Takeda Yixiong nodded and said, "I do think so, the Eighth Route Army only remembered the chariots, planes and whistling heavy artillery in the previous battles, but everyone didn't notice that in some battles, they also used a kind of heavy artillery, I asked the soldiers, the caliber of this heavy artillery is definitely above 105, I estimate that it should be the Soviet Union's 122 heavy artillery, there is such heavy artillery, plus a large number of planes and combat vehicles, Taiyuan can't hold it at all, the purpose of the Eighth Route Army is obvious, they want to take the whole of Shanxi, in this case, I think we give it to him! ”

Hearing that it was given to him, everyone looked at Takeda Takeo, and Ushijima stammered, "Takeda-kun, are you infected by a wounded soldier?" Why did Shanxi give it to him? ”

Takeda Yixiong smiled confidently, pointed to the map and said, "Don't just look at Shanxi, we have to look at the overall situation, the entire battlefield of China has changed a lot from last year, in North China, there are only some guerrillas in Chongqing's Jiang intermediary here, only a large number of troops are Wei Lihuang's troops near Zhongtiao Mountain and Hu Zongnan stationed in Xi'an, and the other is Yan Xishan in the south of Shanxi, Shanxi is the same as Sichuan, as long as it holds the checkpoint, it is a closed small kingdom, and now the Eighth Route Army occupies here, However, the Eighth Route Army is subordinate to the Second War Zone in the establishment of China, and the commander of the Second War Zone is Yan Xishan, and Yan Xishan is the original king of Shanxi, will he sit back and watch Shanxi become the Shanxi of the Eighth Route Army? ”

Tada Jun and other Japanese officers couldn't help but fall into deep thought, Takeda Yoshio continued, "At the same time, I don't know if you have carefully checked the speech of Chiang Kai-shek at this year's plenum, knowing yourself and knowing your enemy, and not being defeated in a hundred battles, although we made a mistake in the intelligence of the Eighth Route Army, but in Chiang Kai-shek's plenum this plenum, it can be said that the intelligence is accurate, Chiang said at the meeting that the purpose of the Sino-Japanese War is to restore the pattern before the China Incident, and the solution to the Sino-Japanese War is through the Pacific Conference, This is to say that he has no confidence in fighting us, but this major matter is decided by Tokyo, so I will not talk about it for now. Everyone listened first, the focus is on the back, Jiang said that it is necessary to dissolve red, prevent red, limit red, and oppose red, and also issued a series of anti-red secret documents, such as "Measures for Restricting the Activities of Different Parties", "Measures for Handling Problems of Different Parties", and "Measures for Preventing Red Party Activities in Occupied Areas". It can be said that the period of close cooperation between Chongqing and Yan'an has passed. ”

As he spoke, Takeda Yixiong took some small flags and planted them and said, "Look, this is the situation after the Red Party occupies Shanxi, Yan Xishan in the south of Jin, Jiang intermediary in the south and west, and our army in the north and east. Judging from the small situation, the Eighth Route Army's occupation of Yanmen Pass instead of occupying Nankou obviously has no confidence in being able to block our army's counterattack in Datong after occupying Datong, and it will become Datong as our army, the Eighth Route Army in the Great Wall, and Jinnan as the Jin Sui Army and Chiang's intermediary troops, Yan Xishan and Chiang Intermediary will be dissatisfied with the Eighth Route Army's occupation of Taiyuan and most of Shanxi, and the Eighth Route Army, which has finally obtained a decent base area, will definitely not give up these places, you say. What will happen to them once we promise not to attack Chiang and Yan Xishan? ”

"The people of China love civil war the most! They're going to fight! Ushijima said with shiny eyes.

Takeda nodded and said, "That's right! Although the Eighth Route Army had the support of the Soviet Union, it was precisely because of the support of the Soviet Union that Yan Xishan and Chiang were even more unable to tolerate the Eighth Route Army! After all, we are still foreign. The Red Party is Chinese, and their rule is much stronger than ours, and the hatred between the White Party and the Red Party is much deeper, not to mention anything else. Xu Haidong, who blocked our retreat for a few days, killed all 66 members of his family to Jiang Mediation! Do you say that he is with our enemy, or with Jiang's intermediary? ”

Heard that the whole family of 66 was killed. Tada Jun said in disbelief, "There is such a thing? I can't imagine that he still needs to salute when he sees Jiang Zhong, it seems that we still haven't studied enough of the contradictions between the red and white parties. ”

Takeda Yixiong nodded and said, "So, our transfer and give the space to the Eighth Route Army and Jiang Mediation, they will definitely fight to the death for Shanxi, and if the two tigers fight, there will be an injury, which is a good thing for our empire!" We can even promise Chiang that he will only fight the Eighth Route Army and not the Central Army, and then attack jointly with Chiang Kai. I believe that Chiang will definitely attack the Eighth Route Army with more confidence, and then we will be able to reap the benefits of the fishermen, and now that Wang Jingwei is also in our hands, we can also magnify the horror of the Red Party so that more people will come to Wang Jingwei's Nanjing government. ”

Tada Jun laughed when he heard it and said, "Okay wow, good wow, Takeda-kun starts from the overall situation, what he said is very reasonable, this is the same as playing chess, let one place seek the overall situation, what do you think?" ”

Chief of Staff Yoshimoto Sadachi looked at Takeda Takeo with admiration and said, "Takeda-kun is worthy of being a disciple of Ishihara Wan'er, and has an overall strategic vision, I support Takeda-kun's idea, indeed, our withdrawal from Shanxi can not only shrink the troops, but also make the China civil strife, which is a matter of killing two birds with one stone." ”

Ushijima laughed and said, "Takeda, you kid is really good at talking, I don't know why, a defeat is said by you, it seems that the most lost ones are the Eighth Route Army, how do you grow this head?" ”

The other Japanese officers also nodded their heads in admiration for Takeda.

Takeda Yixiong lowered his head and said, "I have been looking at the previous information for the past few days, because the intelligence of the Eighth Route Army is not accurate, and I can only look at the information that should be correct, so I have such an idea." ”

Tada Jun patted the case and said, "Okay, it's decided, not only is it decided, but I also want to add fuel to the fire, Yoshimoto Sadachi, send a telegram, just say that in the battle of Shanxi, our army admits defeat, and is willing to return Taiyuan City to General Yan Xishan, the commander of the second theater, I hope that General Yan Xishan can come to Taiyuan as soon as possible to accept!" Write like this. ”

Ushijima clapped his hands when he heard this, and said, "Your Excellency, Commander, this trick is good, I want to see what the Eighth Route Army should do when it receives this telegram from us?" If you enter Taiyuan City, Yan Xishan will definitely not let them go. Don't you enter, can they afford to give Yan Xishan the place they have worked so hard to fight? ”

Tada Jun was also extremely satisfied with his move, touched his beard and said, "Okay, order the troops!" Pack your bags! We still have to break the Yanmen Pass! ”——

Lvliang Mountain

Mr. Zhu looked at the telegram and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "This old devil of Tada Jun really doesn't give us peace of mind, just get out, and leave us with such a big trouble!" ”

Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "Mr. Zhu, this little devil has also studied us thoroughly, knowing that we are at odds with Yan Xishan and Jiang Zhong, I think this telegram is even more powerful than a division." ”

Zuo Quan nodded and said, "Jiang intermediary has begun to oppose the red and sabotage the anti-Japanese united front, as soon as this telegram comes out, he is even more reasonable, these days there are constant telegrams in Jinnan, all of them are the Jin Sui army is grabbing territory with us, but we have been pushed back, we have just defeated the little devil, and the Jin Sui army does not dare to mess around!" ”

Mr. Zhu sighed and said, "We have almost solved this military problem, and now it is a political problem, in this regard, Lao Mao is an expert, I think it is better to let Lao Mao decide what we do!" ”

Zuo Quan pointed to Taiyuan and asked, "Then will we enter Taiyuan or not?" ”

Jiang Cheng hurriedly said, "Come in!" Of course you have to go in! Where is the reason why we stop because of a telegram from the devil, besides, but Taiyuan, how to pursue? ”

Mr. Zhu patted the case and said, "Yes! Enter! Not only to enter! We have to go in with great fanfare, and all planes, tanks, and artillery will be pulled in, and we must deter some people so that they don't dare to mess around! Then continue to pursue the Japanese army until Datong, and then make the next step. ”

Zuo Quan nodded and said, "So is our Yanmen Pass held to the end?" Or do you want to make a little cheap and retreat? ”

Mr. Zhu thought for a while and said, "I still want us to fight to Datong, it's not cost-effective to block the devils there, order the troops to retreat when our follow-up troops arrive, and then pull the battle line to Datong!" Even if you can't keep Datong in the end, you have to take a look! ”——

Ji County

Yan Xishan almost jumped up happily when he looked at the telegram, and hurriedly pulled Yang Aiyuan and said, "This little devil is really good, give us such a big gift before leaving." ”

Yang Aiyuan couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw Yan Xishan's appearance, "Chief Yan, will this Eighth Route Army give Taiyuan to us?" ”

Yan Xishan said with a tiger face, "Taiyuan is originally from our Shanxi, where can we give it to them?" Well, you go and send a telegram to the Eighth Route Army, and I will make an appointment with their Commander Zhu in Ji County to talk about some coordination issues between the two armies. ”

Yang Aiyuan hurriedly nodded and agreed to go out to generate electricity.

Yan Xishan looked at the map on the wall and muttered, "Taiyuan, I'm coming back!" (To be continued.) )
