Chapter 267: The Japanese Army Strikes

His own happiness is the pain of the enemy, Tang Qiuli has time, and the Japanese consume endurance, more than 2,000 hostages Japanese soldiers are in hand, do their best, when to tear up the ticket, the mood is unhappy, and I don't want to play, it's just a matter of one sentence.

On June 27, the 26th year of the Republic of China (1936), the siege of the Xiaowutai Mountain battlefield had reached the seventh day.

Liu Tiehan sent a telegram saying that the Jin army, together with the troops that suppressed bandits (taking advantage of the opportunity), and a whole division, under the command of division commander Zhao Chengshou, claimed that at the order of Commander Yan and after consultation with the division commander, they would arrive at the battlefield of Xiaowutai Mountain at about 8 o'clock this morning to participate in the battle against bandits.

Zhao was quite dissatisfied with this arrangement, and had many objections, claiming that he was here to participate in the battle, not to make decorations, and hoped that the independent division would respect friendly troops and not discriminate against them, and that the combat effectiveness of the Jin army was not necessarily weaker than that of the independent division, and also claimed that he wanted to tell Yan Xishan about this matter and ask him to negotiate with the division commander.

Tang Qiuli called back: "Brother Tiehan, the handling is very proper, the original plan remains unchanged, the Jin army must not approach the core battlefield, otherwise it will affect the plan, and Yan Xishan has a lot to do with the high-level Japanese army in North China, this matter has to be guarded against, Yan Xishan is at the place, and I will deal with it." ”

At 10 o'clock in the morning of June 27, Yan Xishan sent a telegram, the content of the telegram was as follows: "Brother Xunjian in Qiu, our Jin army troops, has arrived at the battlefield, all the Jin army officers and soldiers, all have the heart to destroy bandits, although they have come thousands of miles, however, they dare not regard themselves as guest troops, Cheng Shou is the fierce general of the Jin army, and the men and horses of the first division he led are all elite soldiers. ”

After reading the telegram, Tang Qiuli was deeply impressed by Yan Xishan's calculating, this Yan Laoxi, a master of plucking the feathers of geese, was afraid that he would be like other troops, monopolizing military merits, and didn't want others to get a piece of the pie, Liu Tiehan's arrangement made him suspicious, the troops had arrived, and when he was rewarded for meritorious deeds, he put Zhao Chengshou aside, and he Yan Chief didn't catch anything, wasn't that a loss-making deal?

Tang Qiuli was patient and sent a telegram back to Yan Xishan, "Chief Yan, Tang does not dare to be greedy for heavenly merit for himself, about the arrangement of General Zhao's department, it is really determined by the shape of the battlefield, the independent division has completed the deployment of the encirclement, and the change of the battle is inconvenient, I am afraid that it will be taken by the bandits, and the bandit troops who are surrounded are all bandits, most of them are outlaws, your army has traveled a long distance, Tang really does not want General Zhao's department to lose." ”

"The battle of annihilating the bandits is undertaken by the independent division, all captured, your part will be one-tenth, as for the results of the battle, it is your two parts, and we will work together to complete it, Chief Yan is not far away, and sent the division of the tiger to help me, and I am very grateful to the independent division, Tang is grateful, and the deep friendship of Chief Yan is unforgettable."

After the telegram was sent, Tang Qiuli could imagine it, Chief Yan smiled proudly, what he hoped for, I Tang Qiuli gave it to him, and it was beyond his imagination, and he was not allowed to contribute, there was a loss, and the world went to find such a good thing, isn't it afraid that he will leave him alone, as for this?

This is the political zhì, full of hypocrisy and politeness, covering up the true intentions in it, allowing you to guess and understand, very bothered, Tang Qiuli is extremely tired of this, he thinks, it is better to be happy with the Japanese on the battlefield, to kill and decide, to be happy and revenge, such as flowing water, this thing is too dirty

However, he had to do this, the governor of Shanxi, he was unwilling to offend, and he was also a person who could not be offended, his future base area, across the two provinces of Shanxi and Hebei, and when dealing with him, he was behind, in this world, some people, even if they could not become friends or confidants with him, could not be offended.

Sure enough, the division commander Zhao Chengshou no longer shouted that the Jin army troops were deployed to the forefront, and the besieged bandits, and the real swords and guns were fighting, but the troops were deployed in a mountain five kilometers away from the battlefield.

At 7 a.m. on 27 June, Commander Genichiro Tashiro looked at a group of high-ranking generals with blazing eyes and a solemn expression, as if he had made a serious decision.

After several days of painful thinking, Tashiro Wanichiro consulted with the heads of various organs of the Japanese army in North China, solicited the opinions of the front-line generals, and finally made a decision to use various means to rescue the thousands of emperors who were besieged in the Xiaowutai Mountain area.

In Tashiro's view, Tang Qiuli's game of catching cats and rats is to create an opportunity for himself and give him time to arrange a qiē, of course he hopes that he can lead a heavy army, wave his army to the west, and cleanly kill the hateful Tang Qiuli and his independent division in one fell swoop, and never suffer in the future.

That Tang Qiuli, in Manchuria, made Commander Nanjiro and his Kwantung Army anxious, suffered heavy losses, and suffered unspeakably, and finally was able to retreat with the whole division, enter the pass along the way, and carry the important military base of the empire in Manchuria, Jinzhou City, to break through, so that the empire's foundation in Manchuria suffered heavy losses.

This person's battlefield command art, accurate grasp of the battle situation, the brutality of the imperial soldiers, frightening, gathered a group of outlaws under his command, spread to North China, for himself, is not a fortunate thing, this person does not get rid of, will become the North China Emperor's ** team nightmare and fierce enemy.

However, the military deployment of the empire in North China has not yet been completed, and there are still great differences within the top echelons of the empire on whether to attack Soviet Russia in the north or to occupy Southeast Asia in the south, and the Kwantung Army, as the strategic reserve of the empire, is mainly aimed at the Far East region of Soviet Russia, and it is impossible to draw out large-scale troops to support the battlefield in North China.

Tashiro Wanichiro could only watch Tang Qiuli, the enemy of the empire, put all his forces in the small Wutai Mountain area, which was only three or five days away from him, and swallowed saliva wildly for this opportunity, the troops in his hands were really stretched, more than 50,000 troops, to occupy so many military points, east and west, gathered together, not a month, it could not be done, with these efforts, it was enough for Tang Qiuli to bite Badarhu and thousands of imperial soldiers to death several times.

There is a lack of troops to play with insufficient troops, Tashiro Wanichiro can't do nothing, seven days is enough for him to come up with several methods, the Japanese Empire has never lacked strategic talent.

The whole plan was divided into four parts: First, the air force of the North China Garrison Army dispatched a brigade of fighters and bombers to carry out destructive bombing of the independent divisions gathered in the area of the Xiaowutai Mountains.

Second, the Third Infantry Brigade stationed in the Fengtai area, on the outskirts of Beiping, dispatched the troops of two wings to march toward the Xiaowutai Mountain area in the name of the exercise.

If the troops of the 3rd Brigade encounter obstruction and harassment by the troops of China along the way, they should get rid of it as much as possible and take charge of the response in the direction of the breakthrough of Badarhu.

The third is to pass through Yan Xishan, the highest military and political governor of Shanxi Province, to exert pressure on Tang Qiuli, and with Yan Xishan and the important members of the Japanese Imperial Circle, they will definitely give full help to each other.

At this time, the person in charge of the intelligence agency provided Tashiro with important information, according to reconnaissance, the strength of a whole division of Yan Xishan's Jin army, led by the division commander Zhao Chengshou, had reached the Xiaowutai Mountain area, and the intention was obvious, that is, to help the independent division complete the operational purpose, and whether this person was reliable now remains to be considered.

There were also high-ranking Japanese officers who suggested that it would be better to directly put pressure on the Nanjing Nationalist Government and let the Nanjing Government give an order to force Tang Qiuli to lift the siege of the imperial soldiers, I am afraid that Yan Xishan will not carry enough weight.

Tashiro Wanichiro, very annoyed by the short-sightedness of his subordinates, went crazy on the spot, scolded the officer who came up with the idea, the language is very rich, and gives full play to the essence and charm of the Japanese national scolding.

He said that the reason why Yan Xishan sent troops to Hebei was that he was completely unaware that there were imperial soldiers in the encirclement, and that the independent division claimed to be encircling the bandits, and that Yan Xishan's move was to compete for merit; if he knew that several thousand imperial soldiers were surrounded, and his troops were also involved in this matter, he would probably work harder to mediate, otherwise, it would not be beneficial to him to risk making enemies with the Japanese Empire.

We sent troops, disguised as Chinese bandits, to attack the escort troops of independent divisions belonging to the Central Army system, which in itself violated the agreement with the Nanjing government, not because we were afraid of the Nanjing government, but because we were worried about arousing a high degree of vigilance for the Nanjing government, and for the next all-out war plan of the empire, it would bring variables and affect the overall situation.

After Tashiro Wanichiro finished speaking, the bottom was quiet, silent, all the senior officers of the Japanese army who attended the meeting looked at their commander with the eyes of the mountains, His Excellency Tashiro, who could be honored as the supreme commander of the empire in North China, but he was not in vain, and he had a high degree of insight into the problem, and he had more depth, especially the psychological analysis of the senior officials of China, which was even more accurate and sophisticated.

It is really a privilege to follow such a commander to fight on the battlefield of China, realize the grand cause of His Majesty the Emperor, promote the martial arts of the Imperial Army of the Great Japanese Empire, and establish the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere.
