Chapter 663: Burning the Plains! Prairie fire!
April 28, 1939, 5 a.m. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Puyang City, Henan.
Headquarters of the 6th Garrison Brigade of the North China Front of the Japanese Army.
The brigade commander, Takumi Kitajima, suddenly woke up from his sleep.
Or rather, I was woken up by someone!
Takumi Kitajima, who woke up, was furious at the moment, just now he was still dreaming, but he woke him up, how could he not be angry?
"Eight Ga Ya Road!"
The brigade commander Kitajima Takumi yelled at the adjutant with a panicked expression in front of him: "Tanaka-kun, why are you so flustered, and you have disturbed the dream of the brigade commander, if you don't have a reasonable explanation, you know the consequences!" ”
The adjutant is oozing sweat from his forehead at the moment, where does he care about what consequences are not consequences?
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, didn't General Sugiyama inform us last night that the 106th Division of the Shina Army was secretly assembling and its posture was to attack our Puyang City? But just now, Huaxian and Junxian were attacked by nearly 10,000 people of the 106th Division of the National Army, and our defenders were suddenly attacked with heavy casualties! ”
Between the words, the adjutant was about to cry.
Huaxian and Jun counties were attacked?
In an instant, the brigade commander Kitajima Takumi was completely sleepy, and his whole person was like being struck by lightning, with an unbelievable expression on his face.
"No way, this can't be!"
"Last night, the Imperial Sakura Agency sent me a letter, the 106th Division of the Chinese Army is in the southwest of Hebi City, how can they appear in our Puyang area in just a few hours?"
"This is absolutely fake!"
The brigade commander, Takumi Kitajima, grimaced his face and tried to convince himself.
The adjutant on the side was going crazy.
The news has already arrived, how can it be fake!
At this moment, a Japanese soldier rushed into the bedroom in a panic, and also shouted: "Your Excellency Commander, our army in Huaxian County has come to report that the strongholds of Qingyang, Songshan, Baiqiu, and Wangzhuang Town were all lost just now, and none of the 223 imperial warriors, all of them were shattered, and none of them survived!" ”
This battle report completely shattered all the luck in the heart of the brigade commander Takumi Kitajima!
"Yaga!"
Kitajima Takumi immediately ejected from the bed, with a shocked expression on his face, and said eagerly: "Hurry up, immediately notify the officers above the junior rank level, come to the headquarters for a meeting, remember to be fast, let them come as quickly as possible!" ”
"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander!" The adjutant snorted and ran away.
At this moment, Takumi Kitajima, the commander of the Japanese brigade, was really panicked.
The 6th Garrison Brigade of the Japanese Army led by him has more than 6,000 troops, which seems to be extremely powerful. However, in fact, it is a miscellaneous card among the miscellaneous cards of the Japanese army, and it is a nominal brigade system.
The main components of its brigades are composed of puppet troops and police.
Even the Japanese officers and soldiers, who accounted for one-third of them, were made up of retired Japanese soldiers.
Moreover, the weapons and equipment of its brigades are far from those of the Japanese field brigades!
The comprehensive combat effectiveness of the entire 6th Garrison Brigade is even inferior to that of a wing of the ordinary Japanese army.
On the other hand, the attacking 106th Division of the Nationalist Army is also a miscellaneous army, and although its weapons and equipment are similar to those of the 6th Garrison Brigade of the Japanese Army, the vast majority of the officers and men of the 106th Division are soldiers of a hundred battles, and their fighting will and combat experience are far from being comparable to the 6th Garrison Brigade of the Japanese Army.
The difference in combat effectiveness between the two is not a little bit, but a huge chasm.
Ten minutes later, a group of officers at or above the junior rank of the 6th Garrison Brigade of the Japanese Army in Puyang City all came to the conference room of the headquarters.
Everyone present, one by one, their expressions were full of anger!
"The people of China are so rampant!"
"Yes, we have to teach them a profound lesson this time!"
"Although the strength of our garrison brigade is far inferior to the front-line combat units of the empire, our combat effectiveness is not something that the Chinese army can easily challenge!"
Hearing that everyone present said so confidently, the brigade commander Kitajima Takumi became even more angry.
And teach the Chinese army a lesson?
We are very combat-ready?
It's a joke!
Don't your own family members know the combat effectiveness of their own family?
They guard the 6th Brigade, the miscellaneous among the miscellaneous cards, and they have a fart combat effectiveness!
After a while, everyone present did not discuss the reason, and the brigade commander Kitajima Takumi was so angry that he was angry.
Most of the officers of the 6th Garrison Brigade are also officers eliminated by the Japanese army, or officers who cannot get along in the front-line combat units because of their lack of ability.
How much power can you count on them.
The result of the final discussion is only one!
- Please help!
Asked the Japanese army in Tai'an, Shandong Province, to rush to the aid of Puyang City.
The reason why they did not ask for help from Hebi City and Anyang City in Henan Province was because the Japanese troops in these two places had the task of guarding against the main force of the First Theater of the National Army, and they could not move lightly.

Yimeng Mountain, Shandong.
The headquarters of the first column of the Eighth Route Army.
"Don't worry, I estimate that the Japanese army in Puyang at this time must have asked for help from the Japanese army in Tai'an!" Column commander Xu Xiangqian said firmly.
Hearing this, many commanders and fighters of the Eighth Route Army present nodded their heads in agreement.
"The commander is right!"
"Yes, the 106th Division of the National Army, although it is not Lao Jiang's Central Army, its weapons and equipment are not much better, but it is a journey of a hundred battles, and it is more than enough to deal with the ragtag army of the little devils!"
"That's right, especially General Shen Ke, who is a tiger general with both wisdom and bravery, with him personally commanding, it must be overwhelming!"
"Hahaha, the little devil's 6th Garrison Brigade has a lot of wine bags and rice bags, and it's hard to eat now!"
Immediately, the commander of the column, Xu Qianqian, waved his hand, stopped everyone's discussion, and said loudly: "Since the brothers of the 106th Division of the National Army have already done a big job with the little devil, then our Eighth Route Army can't lose morale, and we have to give the little devil a blow!" ”

Tai'an City, Shandong Province.
The place where the Japanese 10th Division was stationed.
This division is one of the 17 permanent divisions of the Japanese army, and its combat effectiveness is extremely strong, and its performance in the war of aggression against China can be described as a mixed reputation.
In the Battle of Taierzhuang in 1938, the division commander of the division was the rampant Ryosuke Isoya, but he never expected that Li Zongren gathered the Northwest Army and Tang Enbo's Central Army, more than 100,000 people, surrounded it, and achieved the record of destroying tens of thousands of enemies in Taierzhuang.
Although the Japanese army claimed to be retreating, in the series of offensives of the Chinese army, it failed to achieve its tactical objectives, and in fact, the 10th Division did lose face.
Later, in the Battle of Xuzhou, the 63rd Wing of the 33rd Brigade under his command broke through the 40,000 people of the Yunnan army at Yuwang Mountain, which was regarded as regaining a little face.
Today's 10th Division, its division commander is the Japanese Lieutenant General, Yoshio Shinozuka.
Therefore, the 10th Division of the Japanese Army is also known as the Shinozuka Division.
The Shinozuka Division has appeared in many anti-Japanese war-themed film and television dramas in later generations, such as "Bright Sword", "Iron-Blooded Army Soul", "Iron-Blooded General" and so on.
The 10th Division of the Japanese Army has two infantry brigades, namely the 8th Brigade and the 33rd Brigade, and the division directly administers one wing of cavalry, artillery, engineering, and baggage, as well as a communications team, a medical team, and a 1-4 field hospital. Temporarily attached to 2 machine gun brigades and 2 armored squadrons.
The combat effectiveness is extremely strong, and it is the strongest division among all the Japanese divisions and regiments in Shandong!
At the same time, the regiment's division commander, Yoshio Shinozuka, was also the commander of the third battalion of the leading guerrilla force led by Ouyang Suo, Ruinian, and the principal of the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School.
After receiving a request for help from the 6th Garrison Brigade of the Japanese Army in Puyang, Yoshio Shinozuka immediately dispatched the 8th Brigade under his command to rush to the aid of Puyang.

In the evening of the same day, the 1st Column of the Eighth Route Army, under the order of Commander Xu Xiangqian, launched an attack on dozens of counties in Linyi, Laiwu, and Jining.
For a time, the Japanese army in the entire Shandong Province was in a collective uproar!
The Japanese army in Shandong never imagined that their sweep campaign had just begun, and they would be stubbornly resisted by the Chinese army.
But this is not too late, at about 9 o'clock in the evening, more than 6,000 people from the Chu Yunfei Division of the Independent Brigade of the 2nd Group Army of the National Army brazenly attacked the 10th Division of the Japanese Army in Tai'an!
In an instant, Linyi, Laiwu, Jining, and Tai'an were all burning!
The entire central region of Shandong has completely turned into a battlefield between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party and the Japanese army!
The beacon fire has risen, and the prairie is burning! Prairie fire!
