Volume 1: Battle of Songhu Chapter 3: Recapture Longkou
As if sensing that they had woken up, one of the five turned his head and said with a smile, "Yo, are you all awake?" ”
More than thirty puppet soldiers looked at each other, but He Madzi nodded stunnedly.
The man got up and walked over, took off the torn socks from He Luzi's mouth, and said, "Meet me, my name is Li Mu, the deputy captain of the 5th Brigade of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in Southern Anhui. ”
"The Anti-Japanese Salvation Army in Southern Anhui? My goodness. He Luzi breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he was not a bandit.
In the past few months, with the attack of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, the reputation has quickly spread throughout southern Anhui, and the reputation of the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui is similar to the reputation of the Eighth Route Army in North China.
In North China, as soon as the Eighth Route Army arrives, the puppet army will basically lose the will to resist and surrender obediently
The Eighth Route Army has a great reputation, not because they are really capable of fighting, but because of the Eighth Route Army's powerful policies
Except for a few big traitors who are full of evil, the Eighth Route Army basically only disarms the puppet army, and rarely kills people, and the puppet army, most of them are forced to wear this dog's skin for life, and few of them are determined to be traitors and lackeys, so they meet on weekdays, and the puppet army will generally obediently disarm and surrender, so they will not fight to the death with the Eighth Route Army for little Japan.
The prisoner policy of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui was formulated with the help of Shu Tongwen, and it was similar.
So He Luozi is very relieved, at least he doesn't have to worry about his head, the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army in Southern Anhui does not kill people indiscriminately.
Li Mu took down the stinky socks in the mouths of more than 30 puppet soldiers, and these puppet soldiers were also very cooperative, and none of them shouted to warn Little Japan, of course, they just yelled, and it was useless, because more than a dozen Japanese soldiers in the turret had already let Li Mu give them away, and the corpses should be cold.
Li Mu also did not reprimand these puppet soldiers in a righteous and righteous manner, after all, there is a difference between people, in the face of the butcher's knife, you can't ask everyone to be the same fearless, as long as these puppet soldiers can guard the bottom line in their hearts, and will not completely become the accomplices and lackeys of Little Japan, it is all forgivable.
Moreover, these puppet armies who guard the bottom line of psychology are actually the hidden help of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui
In the past few months, the reason why the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui has been able to achieve such brilliant results is inseparable from the guns fired by these puppet troops and actively disarmed, after all, everyone is Chinese, so when they get to the battlefield, they naturally have a tacit understanding, and in some cases, these puppet troops will even take advantage of the chaos to shoot the black guns of Little Japan.
After eating and drinking, Li Mu and the others also drove away the two side three-wheeled motorcycles placed in the turret.
At noon, the Japanese army in Tongling County found out that something was wrong and sent an inspection team over, only to find more than 30 puppet soldiers still tied to the bed, as well as the corpses of more than a dozen Japanese soldiers who were thrown into the river.
(Dividing Line)
The commander of the 14th Brigade, Fujido Takahide, walked into Okamura Ninji's office with a nervous mood
Okamura Ninji sat sideways behind the desk, his thin body almost completely retracted into the pineapple chair, Fujido Takaei noticed that Okamura Ninji's face was very bad, his eyes hiding behind the glasses flashed with a cold and angry gaze, and the pair of inverted eyebrows were tightly twisted together.
Fujido Takaying's mood became more and more nervous.
Fujido Takaei knew that Okamura Ninji Weishenme was in a bad mood.
The Battle of Nanchang was an epic victory for the Japanese army, in the face of the most elite Xue Yue Corps of the National Army, Okamura Ningji only relied on two weak divisions that were disabled in the previous Battle of De'an, the 10L Division and the 10th Pei Regiment, and achieved a decisive victory, not only successfully occupying Nanchang, but also severely inflicting the Xue Yue Corps.
However, after the victory in the Battle of Nanchang, Okamura Ningji was a little carried away.
The day after the victory of the Battle of Nanchang, Okamura Ninji sent a telegram to the base camp in a tough tone, demanding that the base camp continue to expand the scale of the war against Central China and sweep through the south, southwest, and northwest of China with a thunderous force, so that it could not completely annihilate the Nationalist army and drive the Chiang Kai-shek regime to Xinjiang.
In order to make up his mind in the base camp, Okamura Ninji also carefully analyzed the situation in Shijie and the possible future trend of the Sino-Japanese war from a strategic height, Okamura Ninji believed that Britain and France had been completely contained in Europe by Germany, and the Red Soviet Union and Germany would later go to war, so there was only one real enemy of Japan, and that was the United States.
Although the United States has not yet moved out of isolationism, the United States will not remain isolated forever, sooner or later they will choose sides between the Axis and the Entente, and then join the war, and the probability that the United States will choose to join the Axis is very small, that is, the United States will definitely become Japan's enemy, and it is only a matter of time before Japan and the United States go to war.
The choice now before the Japanese army is to start a war with the United States while China is in a deep predator, or to quickly resolve the China incident and then concentrate all its efforts on a decisive battle with the United States.
But Okamura's suggestion is clearly in opposition to the base camp.
Because long before the Battle of Nanchang, the base camp had already decided to shift from a military offensive to a political inducement and a military offensive.
So, the base camp sent a harshly worded telegram to Okamura Ninji.
There are also rumors that the base camp is considering transferring Okamura Ninji back to the mainland to become a military senator, which is to refrigerate Okamura Ninji and not reuse it.
Therefore, Okamura Ningji was in a very bad mood during this time.
"Your Excellency, Commander." Fujido Takahide retracted his feet and bowed to Okamura Ninji.
Okamura Ninji raised his head, his eyes hiding behind the lenses stared at Fujido Gaoying like poisonous snakes, until cold sweat faintly oozed from Fujido Gaoying's forehead, Okamura Ningji snorted, raised his hand in Chinese, and asked Fujido Gaoying: "Fujitang-san, the public security situation in southern Anhui will be eroded to this point, how do you command?" ”
The area controlled by the 1st Army covers more than 100 counties in Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, and Shanghai, and almost the entire middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River basin are under the control of the 1st Army.
However, the exception is the southern Anhui region, where the public security situation can be said to be extremely grim.
Especially in the counties adjacent to Longkou County, the Japanese army was even somewhat untenable.
"Hai, I am incompetent, please punish Your Excellency the Commander." Fujido Gaoying bowed his head and did not defend himself, this is the merit of Japanese soldiers, when they are reprimanded by their superiors, even if they are wronged, they will first look for their own shortcomings, rather than thinking of appealing to their superiors, or looking for excuses to shirk their responsibilities for themselves.
Okamura Ningji snorted lightly, his anger calmed down, and asked, "Is it difficult to entangle this Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army?" ”
"Hello." Fujido Takahide bowed heavily and replied, "Takayuki Noguchi, the commander of the Qingyang County Military Police, reported that although this Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army was subordinate to the Third Theater of the Chinese Army, it was completely different from the style of the troops that distinguished it from the Third World War, and they were not only well-trained, but also well-equipped and extremely combat-effective. ”
"Is there such a unit in the Third War Zone?" Okamura Ninji tightened his eyebrows again.
There are three theaters of the national army that directly confront the army of the ll, namely the ninth theater, the fifth theater and the third theater, Okamura Ningci is most afraid of Xue Yue's ninth theater, and the troops of the ninth theater are also the key targets of Okamura Ningci, but after the Battle of Nanchang, the ninth theater has been hit hard and no longer has offensive capabilities.
Then there is Li Zongren's Fifth War Zone, where Okamura Ningji is now preparing for the Battle of Suizao, the purpose of which is to inflict a heavy blow on the national army in the Fifth War Zone, knock out the counterattack potential of the Fifth War Zone, and completely remove the threat from the north bank of the Yangtze River.
As for Gu Zhutong's third war zone, to be honest, Okamura Ningji didn't pay attention to it at all, as the saying goes, one soldier is a bear, and there is a nest of bears, with a commander-in-chief like Gu Zhutong, it is impossible for the third war zone to have elite troops who can afford to fight tough battles, so although the hundreds of thousands of troops in the third war zone are watching on the side, Okamura Ningji has never taken it to heart.
"Your Excellency, Commander, I humbly plead to move the brigade headquarters to Chizhou." Fujido Takahide made another request.
"It's not necessary, isn't it just a ragtag army, they can't turn the sky over." Okamura Ningji still didn't take the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army very seriously, vetoed Fujido Takaei's request, and said, "You can transfer an infantry brigade, and then strengthen it into an independent brigade with cavalry, artillery, and engineers, and go to recapture Longkou." ”
"Hello." Fujido Takayoung bowed heavily and turned to go.
