Chapter 302: Kidnapping
Chapter 302 Kidnapping
Tashiro immediately ordered an emergency military meeting to be held, and he could not let Tang Qiuli's conspiracy succeed, otherwise, it would be the day when he Tashiro Wanichiro left the military circle.
As a result of the decision of the meeting, all the forces of the North China garrison army were poured into the rescue of General Yuanshanjin's headquarters, and superior forces were concentrated, a gap was opened in the encirclement of Tang Qiuli, and an opportunity was sought to annihilate the troops surrounding General Yuanshan.
However, Tashiro did not ask the aviation unit to participate this time, and it took him a lot of words to suppress the matter after the last loss, and the planes of the Great Japanese Empire are precious
At the same time as Tashiro convened an emergency military meeting, orders were issued one after another from the headquarters of the 258th Regiment and Tang Qiuli's headquarters.
Tang Qiuli ordered the troops scattered in all corners of Taihang Mountain, in addition to leaving the necessary garrison troops and local work teams, the troops took a combat posture, immediately assembled on the spot, and waited for the order, and the transport force composed of 500 cars transported the troops at any time to reach the direction of Wanping.
Around the area of Wanping in the southwest of Beiping City, all the Japanese troops in North China moved, and the Japanese troops stationed at key points scattered in various places urgently assembled, assembled a wing, and drove a wing in the direction of Wanping.
When all the Japanese troops in North China were assembled, Tashiro Wanichiro painfully found that he took out a wing, and Tang Qiuli took out two reinforced regimental troops to reinforce the Wanping direction.
The troops in Tashiro's hands were used up, and the troops of the independent division were still driving in the direction of Wanping, which was not a temporary lack of action, but at any time, Tang Qiu was on standby from the troops of the three divisions of the 29th Army.
Tashiro couldn't understand that Tang Qiuli had so many troops from there, and they were not a rabble, they were all fully equipped and well-armed field troops, and the speed of their advance was amazing.
Tashiro used up more than 40,000 troops in his hands, and Tang Qiuli had gathered more than 70,000 troops in the Wanping area, and with an overwhelming majority, he built an insurmountable defense line in front of Tashiro's reinforcements of the original mountain advance.
Tang Qiuli's claim to the outside world was that the North China garrison would expand the scale of the exercise in accordance with the needs of the exercise, and at the same time extend the duration of the military exercise indefinitely.
In order to avoid accidentally injuring innocent civilians and foreign friends, the exercise headquarters has publicly released news of the exercise in major newspapers in North China, and has set up conspicuous warning signs in the exercise area.
The tone was the same as when he surrounded Yuanshan and entered the troops, everyone understood Tang Qiuli's intentions, and the Japanese knew it even better.
This means that the encircled Yuanshanjin troops were imprisoned by Tang Qiuli indefinitely, and they were not responsible, and the daily necessities of the besieged Japanese army, as for what Japanese friends ate and drank, it had nothing to do with me Tang Qiuli.
You can also airdrop supplies, but since it's a live-fire exercise, my air defense forces won't throw a few artillery pieces into the sky, right? When the time comes, it happens that the unlucky plane will be shot down, don't blame the squadron for not reminding you.
Tang Qiuli has the time and strength, and it is also one of the main purposes of his operation to have a good time with Tashiro Wanichiro, who can disrupt the overall deployment of the Japanese garrison in North China and attract the attention of the Japanese base camp in North China.
As for the Kwantung Army in the northeast going south to reinforce it, there is no ten and a half days and a half to pull the moon, the Kwantung Army does not want to reach the vicinity of Beiping, there are few troops, I will still surround you, and if there are many troops, I will have an excuse to eat your troops in North China first.
For this reason, he did not hesitate to fight hard, he could entangle the Japanese army in North China, so that this hungry wolf had no time to look south, even if the independent division was exhausted, he did not hesitate, Tang Qiuli had already made the worst plan.
The strength of the three divisions of the 29th Army at hand was prepared to prevent reinforcements from the Kwantung Army from entering the pass, not to mention that this involved the coordination between the two major systems of the Japanese army, Japan's comprehensive strategy against China, and it was unlikely that the Kwantung Army would go south and enter the pass.
The final result was that the high-level leaders of the two sides came forward to negotiate, which was also the reason why Tang Qiuli did not order the entire annihilation of the Yuan Mountain into the troops, and he didn't want to kill the chess, in any case, after all, the cost was too great.
On the third day of the encirclement, the supplies of the troops of the original mountain were completely urgent, and Tashiro Wanichiro had no choice but to order the aviation troops to be dispatched, but not to bomb, but to the troops of the original mountain to airdrop supplies and supplies.
When the Japanese planes reached the target and were about to start dropping them, countless antiaircraft machine gun bullets and antiaircraft shells suddenly flew up on the ground, which exploded into black clouds of smoke in the air.
The Japanese pilots who had learned a lesson, hurriedly climbed to the altitude, threw down the supplies and hurried back, this airspace is too terrible, they are transport planes, they are not much more flexible in the sky than clumsy chickens, and they have not become live targets?
The airdropped supplies, driven by the high-altitude currents, drifted away from the Japanese positions in a dashing manner and fell on the positions of the independent divisions.
Tashiro doesn't have the courage to attack now, he has so much money in his hands, and the combat effectiveness and firepower of the independent division, when he was in Manchuria, he made the elite Kwantung Army suffer, not to mention that the strength was far beyond himself.
A senior staff officer proposed a battle plan, that the troops of the Imperial Army could encircle the troops of the Independent Division of China from the periphery, and General Harayama's troops would cooperate in the center to blossom in the center and defeat the Chinese army in one fell swoop, and by the way, annihilate a large number of its living forces.
Tashiro glanced at this senior staff officer coldly, and almost pulled out the command knife and cut off the head of this pig's head, Tashiro doubted that he did this to the senior staff officer? It won't be a backdoor to the North China garrison, right?
Let me use more than 40,000 people to surround more than 70,000 people, not considering the difference in firepower, the opponent has two artillery brigades and three cavalry brigades, and he is not afraid to die and talk nonsense, and the troops of the three divisions of the 29th Army are looking at the North China Imperial Army from behind.
For the first time, Tashiro felt that the troops in his hands were insufficient, and after this incident, it also prompted Japan to increase the number of troops in North China by a large amount, and finally, the total strength of the Japanese army in North China reached more than 300,000 people, and Tang Qiuli's idea of entangling the Japanese army in North China was initially realized.
Tashiro didn't think about it, and it was difficult to ask the base camp to mobilize the Kwantung Army to the south for reinforcements, first, because it was a matter of time, and Harayama couldn't afford to wait, and then it involved the overall strategic framework of the empire.
Once the base camp is forced to change its original overall plan because of its own direction in North China, and the results are not ideal, its position in the military circles and even its future will be covered with a thick shadow.
Tashiro thought about it for a long time, but there was still no very safe way, he tried to send a liaison officer to communicate with Tang Qiuli, but somehow, not only did he touch a nose of ash, but he didn't even see the shadow of this devil, and he also brought back some words that asked Tashiro Wanichiro to strangle Tang Qiuli's impulse.
As for what you said, in the central area of our army's exercise, there are a large number of things about your team, which are being verified, and at present, there is no indication that there is a team of your team, and now, our department is actively verifying, and as soon as there is news, it will be reported to you.
That is to say, the thousands of soldiers of Yuan Shanjin, including Major General Yuan Shan himself, have become hostages of Tang Qiuli, in the words of Manchurian Beard, that is, when thousands of meat tickets will be torn up, it depends on how he Tang Qiuli feels.
On the fifth day of the encirclement of the original mountain army, the supplies and materials were completely depleted, and the war horses had to be killed to maintain the most basic rations, and the Japanese army fell into a desperate situation of no food and no water, but how many war horses were there?
Harayama Susumu sent an urgent telegram like snowflakes to Tashiro's headquarters, and in the end, Harayama almost threatened Tashiro Wanichiro, he was going to organize troops to make a suicidal charge, and His Excellency Tashiro sat back and watched the thousands of Imperial Japanese soldiers collectively shatter jade, how will they explain to the base camp.
The implication is that Tashiro can't be saved when he sees death, Tashiro is about to go crazy, he can't afford to fight now, he can't withdraw, and it doesn't make sense.
Even more things that made Tashiro almost collapse are still happening.
Personnel left behind in various key points reported that since yesterday, all localities have been attacked by unknown armed men, most of the strongholds have been lost, and a small number of defenders have been killed.
According to the report of the escaped Chinese agents, these militants all spoke with Manchurian or Shandong accents, and judging from the above situation, they were jointly committed by the Manchurian Anti-Japanese Federation and the Shandong bandits.
The acts of the Anti-Japanese Union and the bandits were so vile and despicable that they not only looted all the supplies at various points, but also set fire to the barracks of the Imperial Army garrison and demolished the defensive facilities.
Tashiro almost jumped up, it's all his ** pig brains, a big head of dung, the Anti-Japanese Federation is now oppressed by the Kwantung Army, he is too busy to take care of himself, and he still has the heart to run to North China to demolish the house? As for the bandits in Shandong, it's even more nonsense, they ran thousands of miles just to grab several generations of white noodles and a few boxes of bullets?
Besides, how did they know that the imperial army was empty of guards, it was clearly Tang Qiuli's ghost, which attracted our attention to the direction of Wanping, and he took the opportunity to send troops to wreak havoc on the stronghold that the imperial army had painstakingly managed, that was the North China garrison army, more than ten years of hard work, Tashiro couldn't afford to lose it.
The thousands of people and horses that entered this Hara Mountain couldn't afford to lose, and Tashiro was about to go crazy.
In the end, it was the Japanese consul general in Peiping who gave Tashiro an idea to put pressure on the Nationalist Government in Nanjing through diplomatic channels, and Nanjing ordered Tang Qiu to leave the army, so that the siege of General Yuanshan could be easily resolved.
When Tashiro heard this, he called out a clever plan, he knew very well the mentality of those high-ranking officials of the Nanjing Nationalist Government, in front of the Japanese, there was a lack of calcium in the sky.
Tashiro Wanichiro personally wrote a strongly worded diplomatic note to the Nanjing government, which was sent to the Japanese Consulate General in Beiping and sent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Nanjing Nationalist Government.
Subsequently, he sent a telegram to Harayama, telling Harayama who was in a hurry to jump straight to his feet, that the matter would soon come to an end, so please be patient.
