Chapter 624 Okamura Ninji made a move

Before Tang Qiuli launched the Battle of Jingchengguan, the mystery in his heart was finally solved, and he clearly grasped the strategic intention of the new commander of the North China Dispatch Army, Okamura Ningji, and he already had a plan in his heart, Okamura Ningji smashed my family's bottom, then I will go to dig your lair, it is nothing more than the one who is more ruthless, faster, and more concentrated.

However, he didn't dare to despise Okamura Ningci, an old devil, at the same time in history, Okamura Ningci's method of dealing with the CCP's anti-Japanese base in Taihang Mountain in North China was the "three lights" policy, strengthening public security in North China, making it a rear base for the Great East Asian Holy War, and fundamentally destroying the manpower and material base of the Eighth Route Army.

History is that during this period, it was also the most difficult time for the Eighth Route Army to resist the Japanese base in Taihang Mountain, before the Japanese army under the Yamaguchi Division, the means used to sweep the Taihang Mountain were small compared with Okamura Ningci, and it was not worth mentioning, Okamura Ningci, an old devil, did such a thing, he had a high talent, if possible, he would blow up Taihang Mountain and throw it into the Yellow Sea.

However, depending on which opponent he encountered, when he met Tang Shao, he was unlucky, and the years were unfavorable, this old devil's method was familiar with his chest, and he knew that the opponent took that move, and it was easy to do it, not to mention, he also prepared a new opponent for Okamura Ningji, there was a good show to watch, thinking of this, Tang Qiuli laughed again, and the scar on his face was shining,

This time, Mei Ting and Mei Xue couldn't stand it anymore, the image of the division commander was going to be ruined, they both came over, one on each side, and secretly pinched his ribs, Tang Qiuli was immersed in care, and almost screamed out in pain, a soft little hand, blocking his mouth, it was Mei Xue, the staff officer and the correspondent couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh when they saw this scene.

Tang Qiuli begged for mercy, and finally got rid of the two jade hands, Mei Ting and Mei Xue gave him a victorious look, Tang Qiuli smiled a little embarrassedly, looking at the plump and graceful figures of the sisters, he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and the voice was so loud that he was startled.

Tang Qiuli retracted his gaze, ordered the communications staff officer to record the telegram, and immediately issued a military advance order for the "Jinji Sharp Sword" operation, Tang Qiusheng's corps and Feng Jiwu's corps, which participated in the Jingchengguan Campaign, were ready for battle and ready to attack at any time, and Tang Qiuquan's special operations detachment all returned to the Taihang Mountains to monitor Okamura Ningji's movements in an all-round way with small groups as a unit, and to seek opportunities to strike at the rear bases and supply lines of the Japanese army.

Sun Zhenbang's troops, who were confronting the southward corps of the Kwantung Army in the area of Shexian County, when the Japanese army launched an attack, adopted the tactics of resisting step by step, lured the enemy to go deeper, and dispersed the attacking Japanese troops to all corners of the Taihang Mountains with regiments as units, looking for favorable fighters, concentrating troops, and annihilating them all the way.

The local governments at all levels in the Taihang Mountain base area immediately organized the masses in the base area to clear the wilderness and move to the west of Shanxi, and the local government should properly resettle the transferred masses, learn the lessons of the Sucheng Bloody Incident, and prevent the Japanese troops entering the base area from capturing a single one of our people.

Send a telegram to General Zhu De and General Peng Dehuai, urging all departments of the Eighth Route Army to rush to the Taihang Mountain combat area in the shortest possible time, this is another big move to the base area, fortunately, there is no heavy industry base in the Taihang Mountain area, and it is much easier to walk.

Tang Qiuli has a lot of appetite this time, he wants to make dumplings for the southward corps of the Kwantung Army, solve this Japanese army, and he will be able to free up the strength of a corps and join in that direction, which will play a decisive role, he suddenly remembered Huangya Cave, where will it be the main target of the Japanese army?

All the family backgrounds of the independent division, except for Dingbian, are all in Huangya Cave, and when I think of this, I break out in a cold sweat, how can I ignore such an important place? Okamura Ningji will not aimlessly go around the Taihang Mountains, he will definitely do everything possible to find the location of Huangya Cave, where can there be tens of thousands of recruits in training, as well as the arsenal, all the supplies of the independent division, lose the Huangya Cave, and occupy Shijiazhuang will not outweigh the loss.

He immediately ordered the Niumanshan Division of the Ninth Independent Brigade, the Tangqiushan Division of the Sixth Artillery Brigade, the Xiaofeng Division of the Second Brigade of the Independent Division Workers' Anti-Japanese Brigade, and the Jiang Yanming Department of the Huangyadong Garrison Brigade to immediately go to Huangyadong to serve as the guard of Huangyadong, three infantry brigades and one artillery brigade, more than 40,000 troops should be enough to deal with the siege of the Japanese army.

Everything that should be done was done, just waiting for Okamura Ningji, an old devil, to attack, as soon as his cannon sounded, that is, when the troops in the direction of Niangzi Pass made a move, all the plans seemed to be impeccable, and there was nothing to add, Meng Ding was idle, Tang Qiuli felt that there was nothing to do, and he went around in the headquarters.

Tang Qiu stepped up the deployment of troops from here, and Okamura Ningji in Handan was not idle, he moved the North China Dispatch Army Headquarters to Handan, in his opinion, the closer the headquarters was to the front line, the greater the possibility of victory, and the practice of Kazuki Kiyoji in Beiping commanding a battle thousands of miles away with a telephone line and several telegrams, Okamura Ningji scoffed at this, and a commander who did not personally visit the front line could not fight every battle.

Since peeking through Tang Qiuli's fate, he has devoted all his energy to this long-awaited battle, in the eyes of Okamura Ningji, the Taihang Mountains are more important than anywhere in North China, and the occupation of the Taihang Mountains can completely destroy the logistics supply base of Tang Qiuli's independent division in North China, and the other is that it can cut off the connection between Shanxi and Henan, Shanxi has become an isolated place, westward, can occupy the entire territory of Shanxi, that Yan Xishan, Okamura Ningji did not pay attention to it at all, Okamura Ningji thinks, as long as he punches Shanxi, Yan Xishan will fall to the ground with a bang.

Advancing eastward, you can attack Henan and Shandong, the geographical location of Taihang Mountain is too important, it is a place to look around, and take advantage of the geographical advantage, he carefully studied all the combat telegrams of the Yamaguchi troops in the Taihang Mountains, and came to a conclusion that the fundamental reason why the Yamaguchi troops are all jade broken is that Yamaguchi does not understand strategy, and the command of Kazuki Kiyoji is wrong, and after the jade of the first army of Isoya Ryosuke is broken, the Yamaguchi troops should immediately withdraw from the Taihang Mountains and return to the Pingjin area, instead of staying in Wuxiang, which is far away from the rear base, and fighting with Yan Xishan's Jin army.

For the Taihang Mountains, it is a permanent occupation, the establishment of a new political system, and the bridgehead for the Imperial Army to attack Henan or Hubei, not a sweep, the people of China are very cunning, you go in front of them, they will come out like mice in the night, and live as they are, not to mention, they still have new tactics to practice in the Taihang Mountains.

Okamura Ningci's confidence is very full, as for Tang Qiuli, who let the North China Imperial Army talk about the tiger and call it the devil of China, Okamura Ningji didn't take it too seriously, admitting that he was an opponent, and defeated the two commanders of the Japanese Imperial Army one after another, but this time, I met Okamura Ningci, so let me end the life of Tang Qiuli, the devil of China

For Tang Qiuli's old nest in the Taihang Mountains, Okamura Ningji's approach was to completely destroy, kill every Zhina person, burn every house, and rebuild the new order of the Great Japanese Empire on the ruins. Is there a more moving ideal than that?

Okamura Ninji's inner passion was surging, and there was an excitement of meeting an opponent and the ideal was about to be realized, however, his preparations for this battle were solid, psychological contempt, and tactical attention, Okamura Ninji was not an arrogant Japanese general, and at his repeated requests, two hundred and thirty planes of the Akino Air Force were transferred from the mainland, and the destroyed airfield in the Pingjin area had been completely repaired, and he wanted to gain air supremacy.

Two first-class divisions were transferred from Korea into the North China Dispatch Army, five field heavy artillery brigades and three tank wings were transferred from Japan, and his old boss, General Minamijiro, commander of the Kwantung Army, sent him a brigade of troops, as well as the Nakajima Special Attack Brigade, which was good at mountain operations, with the southward corps of the Kwantung Army as the backbone, forming the Taihang Mountain Sweeping Force of the North China Dispatch Army, and he personally served as the front-line commander.

This is a Japanese army of 320,000 people, including aviation, armor, artillery, cavalry and other arms of the composite corps, its combat effectiveness is extremely strong, especially the Kwantung Army troops, are veterans with rich combat experience, there has been no opponent in the northeast for many years, developed an arrogant, murderous personality, plus the spirit of bushido is deeply rooted in the bone marrow, advocating white-knuckle fighting and the main decisive battle, however, the troops mobilized from North Korea and Japan are still on the way, otherwise, Okamura Ninji will never wait until this time, he would have drunk Ma Taihang Mountain.

At the end of March, Okamura Ningji finally completed preparations to sweep the Japanese troops in the Taihang Mountain base area, showing their sharp fangs, and on April 2, Okamura Ningji issued an order to attack Licheng, and the overwhelming Japanese army crossed the Qingzhang River that had thawed and rushed towards Licheng.

The plane in the sky was covering, the tank on the ground was roaring, Okamura Ningji finally made a move, this was also the moment when Tang Qiu was looking forward to it, the North China battlefield, which had been silent for several months, was full of gunsmoke.
