Chapter 522: The Japanese base camp is shaken
December 26, 1938, 10 a.m. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Suburbs of Shanghai.
The 6th Division of the Japanese Army.
The division commander, Shiro Inaba, had an iron-blue face and was extremely ugly.
Dozens of Japanese officers in the war room bowed their heads in shame, not daring to breathe.
The atmosphere in the entire war room was extremely solemn and depressing for a while.
Tens of thousands of officers and soldiers of the entire 6th Division of the Japanese Army were also discouraged, annoyed, and even more angry!
The Japanese Concession was destroyed on a large scale;
The Qianqiao concentration camp was breached;
Tens of thousands of prisoners of war were rescued;
Most of the 1,500 officers and soldiers of the Japanese military police headquarters in Shanghai were killed;
The commander of the gendarmerie, Masao Tanaka, was killed;
All 32 fighters of the 6th Flying Regiment were shot down in an instant;
The Japanese base on Chongming Island was hit by an air raid, resulting in heavy damage;
The most unbearable thing for the Japanese army was that they searched for the slightest trace of the enemy's large forces!
After a long time, the anger of the division commander Shiro Inaba finally flinched!
Like a volcanic eruption!
Immediately, he scolded Major General Ushijima, the commander of the 36th Brigade: "You stupid and arrogant guy! ”
"Your 36th Brigade is in Tinglin Town, and when it was just intercepted by the Chinese army, you should have immediately sent a telegram to the division, but your unit fought fiercely with the enemy for 2 hours, and you didn't explain it to me. If I hadn't sent a message to ask, wouldn't you have kept it hidden? ”
"Just because of your stupidity, my division was unable to rescue, so that the Chinese army captured the Qianqiao concentration camp, and more than 20,000 prisoners of war were rescued, so that I could lose face in the big day ~ this imperial army!"
"It made all the officers and soldiers of the 6th Division a disgrace to the empire!"
"All this, you Ushijima is full of blame, and his crime should be punished!"
Hearing the reprimand of the division commander Shiro Inaba, the brigade commander Ushijima was even more ashamed and embarrassed.
Indeed, if it weren't for his arrogance, he firmly believed that his 36th Brigade could quickly defeat the four major armies summoned by Ouyang, and the situation would not be what it is today.
At least Ouyang and the others left Shanghai so smoothly, and he Niu Dao was full of "contributions"!
At that moment, the brigade commander Mitsuru Ushijima, the future general of the Japanese army, fell into complete silence, and he was speechless.
He has to pay a lot of responsibility for this defeat.
Inaba Shiro said in a deep voice: "Guard, take down Ushijima for me, and wait for the trial of the military court!" ”
As soon as the words fell, several guards should drink out and escort Ushijima away!
The brigade commander, Major General Ushijima, did not resist in the slightest.
At this moment, some Japanese generals who were good friends with Ushijima also shook their heads and sighed when they had the heart to say a few words.
Don't dare to say more.
They know that Ushijima, the rising star of the empire, has ruined his career and is more likely to be sentenced to death!
After Major General Ushijima of the Japanese Army was escorted out of the combat conference room.
A Japanese soldier stood up and made a brief report on the casualties of the battle.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the 36th Brigade of our Division, 592 warriors and jade shatters;
My Shanghai gendarmerie, 723 warriors jade shattered;
The defenders of the Qianqiao concentration camp, 612 warriors;
Sakurai Wing, the 16th Division of our army on the Suzhou side, 453 warriors Yu Crushed;
Our army base on Chongming Island, 232 warriors are broken.
In this battle, there were more than 2,600 warriors who died in my big day ~ this imperial army. At the same time, the number of light and serious wounded in our army is even more innumerable. ”
When the words fell, the entire combat conference room was in an uproar!
All the Japanese officers were stunned!
They knew that in this battle, they lost their troops and lost their generals, and there were not a few soldiers who sacrificed, but they never expected that the number of sacrifices would be so large!
2600 people!
This is simply an unimaginable number for a group of Japanese officers who have won many battles on the battlefield and are like a bamboo!
"Shame! What a shame! ”
"Our 6th Division and the Chinese army have been fighting bloody battles on the battlefield in Wuhan for several months, and the number of people who have died is only more than 3,000 people, but today in just one night, the number of people killed in our army is almost catching up with the number of people we have sacrificed in the past few months!"
"My Imperial Japanese Army lost face in last night's battle!"
"I'm ashamed of His Majesty the Emperor!"
"We are all sinners of the Empire!"
At this moment, the division commander Shiro Inaba interrupted everyone's words and said in a deep voice: "The top priority now is to prevent the situation from further expanding. I immediately handed over my order, ordering all units of our army, as well as the secret services in Shanghai, to immediately channel public opinion in Shanghai, and not to leak the slightest trace of last night's war! ”
"Hey!" A Japanese officer should drink.
The division commander Shiro Inaba continued: "At the same time, I conveyed my second order, requesting our troops in Huzhou, Suzhou, Nantong and other places to strictly check the suspicious people, and once discovered, there is no need to try them, and they will be immediately sentenced to death!" ”
Until this moment, the division commander Inaba Shiro still firmly believed that Ouyang and the others had run away by land!
And in terms of sea routes, he didn't think about it at all!
Tens of thousands of people want to escape from the sea, which in his opinion is simply nonsense and simply impossible.

Shanghai Wharf.
After the Japanese lieutenant general Imamura fled from Tangwan Town, he hurried to the pier without stopping and bought a ticket to the Japanese mainland early.
"Shanghai can't stay any longer, I must return to the empire immediately, otherwise today's matter will be leaked, and I will also be sent to a military court!"
A few hours ago, the scene of three helicopter gunships fighting in Tangwan Town still echoes in his mind.
Until this moment, the heart of the Japanese army Lieutenant General Imamura Jun is still turbulent and emotionally uncertain!
His whole body, too, was extremely cold because of the great horror.
"I will never forget such a great shame!"
Standing at the bow of the boat, Jun Imamura stared at the Shanghai Beach that was gradually disappearing with his eyes like fire, gritted his teeth and said: "The blood debt should be repaid with blood, this revenge will not be avenged, and I will not be a man in the village!" ”
Today, he Imamura was lucky enough to escape without being as disgraced as the commander of the gendarmerie, Masao Tanaka, but in a battle a few years later, he and Ouyang fought again.
And in the later battle, he was not as lucky as he is today.
He's defeated!

Japan's Native Cabinet.
Fumima Konoe, who is also the prime minister of Japan, also received an urgent telegram from Shanghai just now.
After reading the contents of the message, Fumima Konoe, who was sitting on the sofa, was silent!
Silent for a long time!
A Japanese major general officer standing in front of him, seeing that Konoe Fumima had been silent for a long time and had not spoken, immediately couldn't help but admonish: "Lord Duke, this matter must not be left like this!" This great change in Shanghai cannot be concealed, and it will certainly cause great turmoil to the empire's rule in the occupied areas of China!
Therefore, I suggest that we must take action to take revenge and minimize the bad effects of this matter! ”
"Hey!"
Hearing this, Konoe Fumima sighed and said, "This is no longer something I should worry about, I have submitted my resignation to His Majesty the Emperor, and I am ready to resign as the Prime Minister of the Empire. ”
The Japanese major general was about to say more, but was interrupted by Konoe Wenma and waved him back.
When the Japanese major general left, Konoe Bunma, who was still in a state of "nothing to do with himself, hang high" just now, changed his expression greatly.
Become extremely hideous!
"Shame! This is a disgrace to the Empire! The day I ascend to the position of prime minister again will be the end of the 512th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army! ”
Konoe Fumima, a Japanese nobleman, was born in the Konoe family, one of the five major regent families in Japan ~ Ben, with the title of hereditary duke, and is a core member of the formulator, participant, and promoter of the war of aggression against China.
He is currently serving as the prime minister of Japan ~ Ben, a Class A war criminal of World War II, and has served as the prime minister of Japan three times.
At the beginning of January 1939, because his power as prime minister was vacated by the War Office, he resigned as prime minister and became president of the Privy Council.
Later, in July 1940, after serving as prime minister for the second time, more than one year, the German Triple Military Alliance was concluded, and the fascist Triple Alliance was formally established.
Then, in July 1941, he served as prime minister for the third time, but this time he only served for three months, and lost to another soldier in the power struggle, his name was Hideki Tojo.
"The 512th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, Ouyang!"
Konoe Funma muttered a few words again, and there was a burst of resentment in his heart!
Ouyang, who was far above the sea, obviously didn't know that he was on the list of people who would be killed by Japanese Prime Minister Fumima Konoe!
What made Ouyang feel incredible was that in July 1940, Konoe Funma served as prime minister for the second time, so he issued an order to the Japanese army in North China to send a division of troops to encircle and suppress Ouyang's headquarters.

Day ~ the official residence of the Minister of War (Land Minister).
The current Japanese ~ Ben Lu Minister is none other than the notorious Seishiro Itagaki, the former division commander of the 5th Division of the Japanese Army.
At this moment, Seishiro Itagaki is furious!
"Yaga!"
Itagaki Seishiro yelled at the officers, "It's this army again!" My old troops, my big day ~ the 5th Division, which was once the strongest in this empire, was wiped out in Baishiling because of this 512 Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, and I have not freed up my hands to teach them a lesson. ”
"But today, they dare to attack Shanghai under the rule of our army, and make Shanghai a mess, making our Imperial Japanese Army extremely passive!"
After a pause, Itagaki Seishiro said sharply again: "The team of the 512 Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, although it is only a brigade now, has fewer troops, and is far from being the opponent of our Great Japanese Imperial Army, but the threat and damage they have caused to our Great Japanese ~ Imperial Army is extremely great. ”
"The Battle of Fairy Lake in Taihang Mountain, the Battle of Luokouling in Wuhan, the Battle of Daya Bay in Huizhou, and the Battle of Baishiling, this army all participated and played an extremely important role, and the number of our troops directly annihilated and indirectly annihilated was as high as tens of thousands!"
"I suddenly have a premonition that if the 512th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army is not eliminated as soon as possible, it will grow into an extremely formidable opponent in the future, a team that will make my Imperial Japanese Army uneasy!"
"Therefore, immediately convey my order and notify the officers of the Ministry of War to come to discuss how to get rid of this 512 brigade."
"For this reason, our North China Front Army did not hesitate to carry out a large-scale sweep operation against them again, and completely eradicated the 512 Brigade of the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop!"
In just one day, the name of Ouyang, together with the 512 Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, spread to the ears of many high-ranking Japanese soldiers in Japan~.
Prime Minister Fumima Konoe;
Seishiro Itagaki of the land phase;
Of course, there are more people who also learned the name of Ouyang and the 512 Brigade of the Eighth Route Army!
The impact of the incident in Shanghai is huge and far-reaching, which also makes Ouyang and the 512th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army suffer from the Japanese army's key attacks many times in the coming months!
A devastating massive offensive!
The fourth watch was sent, and the fourth watch broke out, fortunately, it was not dishonored!
Ask for support!!
