Liu Yimin has entered the customs!

The news reverberated over the North China Plain like a wind, and immediately reached the headquarters of the North China Front of the Japanese army invading China in Beiping. The staff officer on duty did not dare to slack off and knocked on the door of the commander, Senior General Okamura Ninji, and the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Tado Moritake.

Okamura Ninji was later touted by the Japanese himself as "a rare famous general in both command and combat, with qualities such as wisdom, insight, decisiveness, and strong will." Actually, this guy is also very **, but he was not convinced by the defeat of the "Day", and always wanted to set up a few tragic heroes of the Yamato nation to inspire people, so he sacrificed the remnants of diehard militarism such as Okamura Ninji and Yamamoto Fifty-six. However, in the history of Okamura Ningji, he was acquitted by Chiang Kai-shek's court, and was honored in Taiwan by Section 910 - raised with falsehood and truth, and then returned to Japan safely, not to mention that he could not get a fair trial for his crimes, he could still write memoirs with a cheeky skin, beautify himself, whitewash the Japanese army's policy of aggression in China, and exonerate himself. Obviously, it was a brutal and inhumane policy of killing, burning, and robbing all of our base areas, but in Okamura Ninji's memoirs, it became a three-no policy of not killing, not setting fires, and not robbing things, as if the Japanese army deployed ferocious beasts, but the civilized army of the Chinese people who invited money and gifts to help. Phew!

The reason why Chiang Kai-shek protected Okamura Ninji was not that Okamura Ninji's crimes were not enough to go to the gallows, but that Okamura Ninji commanded the Japanese army to kill the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians in the ** base area was very much in line with Chiang Kai-shek's wishes, and the most important thing was that Chiang Kai-shek wanted to use the experience of Okamura Ninji in dealing with the Eighth Route Army to deal with the People's Liberation Army on the battlefield of the Liberation War.

In fact, when the Japanese army surrendered, Okamura Ninji was already the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army invading China, and his heinous crimes were too numerous to mention, and our party listed him as the number one war criminal of the Japanese army. Supposedly, if he is sent to the International Tribunal, he will definitely be put on the gallows. However, in order to fight the civil war, Chiang Kai-shek sheltered Okamura Ningji. Chiang Kai-shek's act of wanting to rule the "China" country is simply treating the "China" people as three-year-old babies Section 910 - to confuse the real baby!

That night, Okamura Ninji was concerned about the ironclad sweep of southern Hebei and central Hebei, and stayed in the war room to study the telegrams of various units, instructing the plan of action, and went to bed very late.

Historically, Okamura Ninji personally planned and commanded the "May Day" sweep of the base areas in Jizhong, which turned Jizhong into a river of blood. Due to Liu Yimin's crossing, the Japanese army has carried out several sweeps in Jizhong, and Okamura Ningji's move is not uncommon for the soldiers and civilians in Jizhong. It's just that this time Okamura Ningji was even more ruthless, he mobilized five divisions and three independent mixed brigades at once, and also attached a part of the puppet army, first to implement an iron-walled encirclement of the Jizhong base area, and then to carry out a combing grate to clear and suppress, that is, to carry out intensive and repeated dragnet search and sweep of the Jizhong base area that was trapped in the iron-walled encirclement of the Japanese army, just like combing the hair with a grate, combing out all the lice in the hair and killing them.

The Jizhong base area has once again fallen into turmoil!

When Okamura returned to the bedroom, there were two beautiful women in kimonos waiting in his room. Okamura Ninji took off his military uniform and hat under the service of two beautiful women, and his shaved head looked white and white under the light of the electric light.

I am good yin, and Okamura Ninji can't get out of the ordinary. It's just that he is a scheming person who is good at acting, and he goes down to the army to cook for ordinary soldiers, so that the soldiers are grateful, and he is also mainly interested in giving advice to the Japanese generals, and he is indeed supported by the officers and soldiers, and no one can know the huāhuā intestines in his stomach. Even if they knew, no one would say it, because the Japanese army was just virtuous, and when they came to China, they would not burn, kill, loot, or rape women, and they would not come if they were invited. Therefore, in addition to being ferocious, Okamura Ninji's reputation for lust has never been known, and few people know what kind of character he is.

Looking at the beauty under the lamp, the more you look at it, the more moving it is. Because the siege of the iron wall in central Hebei and southern Hebei was going smoothly and was in a good mood, General Okamura Ningji of the North China Front, under the diligent service of the two beauties, had to muster up Yu Yong and vent on the two Yamato beauties, until he was like a note, and Okamura Ningji fell asleep soundly.

In his sleep, Okamura Ninji dreamed of his wife Rie, who had already died of illness, and looked at him with a pair of eyes that seemed to be smiling, and the dimples at the corners of his mouth were full of mockery, which made Okamura Ninji very uncomfortable, and felt that he was caught stealing food, "Rie, Rie" kept screaming, constantly justifying that he was a loving wife, not that he was lustful and absurd, but that these two women were too self-respecting and sent to the door. If he didn't laugh, he would break the hearts of these two women.

As he was arguing, a quick knock on the door woke Okamura Ninji from his embarrassment. As soon as he opened his eyes, he stretched out his hand, and his hands were all slippery, and then he saw that his two hands were holding two ** that made the beauty of the day white, and he couldn't help but scolded in a low voice, "Baga" pushed away the two beauties who were pestering him like an octopus, got up and got dressed, and then walked into the living room, coughed majestically, and asked lightly: "What's the matter?" ”

The panicked voice of the staff officer on duty sounded again: "Report to the commander, Liu Yimin suddenly launched a fierce attack in eastern Hebei!" ”

Okamura Ningji's figure flickered, and he almost fell, and it took a long time to say: "Come in!" ”

After the staff officer on duty pushed the door in, he handed Okamura Ninji a stack of telegram drafts.

Okamura Ninji took a hurried glance and ordered the chief of staff, the deputy chief of staff, the commander of the 3rd Flying Group, and the head of the secret service to come to the war room immediately.

At this time, Lieutenant General Tian Dao Shengwu, chief of staff of the North China Front, and Major General Hirata Masatsu, deputy chief of staff, had already been shouted out and went into the war room. When Okamura Ninji walked into the war room, Lieutenant General Tado Moritake and Major General Hirata Masatsu had already drawn on the map. Seeing the commander come in, General Tian Dao Shengwu saluted and reported: "Your Excellency, Your Excellency, Liu Yimin's department has broken through the three lines of defense of the public security army, and the offensive is fierce. It seems that Liu Yimin has concentrated his main force from Shanhaiguan to enter North China. ”

Okamura Ninji didn't speak, sat down, took a stack of telegrams, and read them carefully one by one. By the time Lieutenant General Toshinori Kinoshita, commander of the Third Flying Group, and Yoshioka, head of the secret service, walked into the war room with worried eyes, Okamura Ninji had already finished reading the telegram.

After reading the telegram, Senior General Okamura Ninji remained silent.

The chief of staff, Tamichi Shengwu, saw that the commander was silent, knowing that he was thinking about how to deal with the crisis, and he did not dare to disturb, so he could only take Kinoshita Toshitoshi and Yoshioka to the battle map, look at the situation of the enemy drawn by Hirata Masa, and softly introduce the enemy situation.

General Okamura Ningji finally spoke: "Gentlemen, the bad news is finally here, Liu Yimin has entered the customs. We were fooled, we thought that Liu Yimin would defeat the Kwantung Army and the Korean Army, and the casualties must be very large, and he would need to rest for at least three months in North Korea and the Far East to stabilize the situation, but I didn't expect him to enter the customs so quickly. From this point of view, the order of the headquarters of the base camp and the China Dispatch Army Headquarters to order the front army to first defeat the North China Eighth Route Army to attack, stabilize the rear, and then meet the main force of Liu Yi's people is extremely wrong. At present, the front army is already facing a very great danger because it has not concentrated its forces to the maximum extent. Do you have any good suggestions? ”

Lieutenant General Tian Daoshengwu, chief of staff, suggested that the five divisions and the 3rd Chariot Division and the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Brigades should be immediately concentrated on the periphery of Pingjin to quickly reinforce eastern Hebei and repel the attack of Liu Yimin's troops. Then quickly end the military operations in central and southern Hebei, concentrate all the forces that can be concentrated, stick to Pingjin, and seek an opportunity to fight a decisive battle with Liu Yimin.

Tian Dao Shengwu's suggestion was actually the original plan of Okamura Ningji, but because he judged that Liu Yimin could not enter the customs so quickly, Okamura Ningji implemented a large-scale ironclad encirclement of central and southern Hebei, in an attempt to wipe out or squeeze out all the Eighth Route Army in these two areas, which led to the dispersion of troops.

Okamura Ninji shook his head and said, "It is necessary to concentrate the main forces on the periphery of Pingjin to counterattack Liu Yimin's troops, this is our established strategy. However, once the counterattack fails, it is not advisable to stick to Pingjin. Once Liu Yi's main force pounces on and cuts off the connection between Pingjin and Tianjin, whether it is Beiping or Tianjin, it will be a dead city, and it depends on how long it can last. Now is different from the past, after the Kwantung Army is shattered, it is no longer possible for the front army to get strong reinforcements, and holding on is only delaying time, which is meaningless. ”

Okamura Ningji is indeed powerful, and he immediately realized that once the defense line in eastern Hebei was breached, it would only be a matter of time before Beiping and Tianjin were lost.

When several people heard this, they all looked at each other, and then they realized that the original iron-clad defense line was like paper and could be broken as soon as it was stabbed, and it was full of loopholes.

When Okamura was about to continue, the staff officer on duty came in again to report, saying that he had received an urgent report from the Rehe garrison and the Mongolian army that they had been attacked by Liu Yimin's army on a large scale and asked for urgent tactical guidance.

Okamura Ningji took the telegram and looked at it, it was Liu Yimin's cavalry group and He Long's main force of Jinsui who attacked the various units of the Mongolian army, and even Fu Zuoyi's troops participated in the battle. It was the infantry of Liu Yimin's army who attacked the remnants of the independent garrison of the Kwantung Army and the remnants of the puppet Manchurian army in the south of Rehe, and the offensive was still very fierce.

Okamura Ninji panicked, and could no longer pretend to be unfathomable, so he ran to the map in three steps and two steps, and examined the map for a long time, before turning around and saying: "Chief of Staff, record the orders: 1. Order the commander of the Mongolian army, Lieutenant General Yamawaki Masataka, to resolutely counterattack the attack of the Chinese army; 2. Order the troops in the Rehe area to adopt the tactics of resisting step by step, delay the troops of Liu Yimin's army attacking the south of Rehe, and delay the speed of their attack; 3. The 3rd Flying Division immediately mobilized, concentrated all forces, bombed Liu Yimin's offensive troops after dawn, and supported the ground troops in the operation. Fourth, all divisions and brigades on the periphery of Pingjin were ordered to prepare to launch a counterattack against Liu Yimin's troops in accordance with the original battle plan. 5. All divisions and regiments carrying out public security operations in central and southern Hebei were ordered to quickly end their tasks, assemble on railway and highway lines, and quickly rush to the Pingjin area to reinforce the operation. In the later period of central and southern Hebei, the sweeping tasks were handed over to the three independent mixed brigades and security forces under the command of the subordinate commanders. 6. Order the Tianjin garrison and the marines to ensure that Tianjin is not lost. 7. Martial law was imposed in Beiping, and armed soldiers and students in the township were urgently mobilized; 8. Urgently ask for help from the base camp and ask for emergency tactical guidance from the base camp. ”

Okamura Ninji gave seven orders in one breath, and finally thought about it was not perfect, and added: "Order the Twelfth Army to ensure that the Jiaoji Railway and Longhai Road are unblocked, and to ensure that Qingdao and Lianyungang are not lost." The First Army was ordered to shrink the defensive line and send troops to reinforce the Mongolian army to fight. ”

When the situation is chaotic or at a critical juncture, what is needed is timely and powerful command and orders. These orders of Okamura Ninji may not be correct, but it is better to have an order than not to have an order. Tian Dao Shengwu immediately took the transcript and conveyed it.

When Tado Moritake went out to deliver the order, Okamura Ninji walked up to Kinoshita Toshi, patted Kinoshita Toshita on the shoulder and said, "Kinoshita-kun, I know that the Third Flight Group is struggling right now, the planes are not replenished, and the ammunition is insufficient. However, now that the situation is critical, the only ones who can stop Liu Yimin's frantic attack are Kinoshita-kun and the heroic Third Flight Group. Let's study how to eliminate Liu Yimin's Sino-US air force issue. I think that after the Kwantung Army's jade was shattered, Liu Yimin's ministry had completely controlled Manchuria's air supremacy. He must be very arrogant, maybe his airport is full of planes, can we set a trap to blow up a few of his backbone airfields? If Liu Yimin's Chinese and US air forces can be defeated and air supremacy can be regained, this battle will be easy to fight. ”

If you can defeat Liu Yimin's Chinese and American air forces, of course, that's good. The problem is that Toshitoshi Kinoshita no longer has this luxury. Aviation ammunition in the past was brought from the Northeast to meet the supply. Now it is necessary to use cargo ships to transport from the mainland of Japan, which is simply not enough to meet the supply. The most difficult thing is that the loss of planes cannot be replenished in a timely manner, and the entire Third Flight Group has only about 220 fighters, bombers, and reconnaissance planes used to support the North China battlefield, and it undertakes the task of supporting operations in Shandong, Shanxi, northern Jiangsu, and eastern Henan. There was no arrangement in advance, and he was asked to urgently assemble a group of planes to bomb Liu Yimin's airfield, but it could not be realized. Because the fighters of Xuzhou Airport, Shangqiu Airport, Xinxiang Airport, Linfen Airport, Yuncheng Airport and other airports need to be transferred to the airports in Beiping and Tianjin before they can carry out their tasks. I'm afraid that when he completes the assembly, Liu Yimin's troops will sweep through eastern Hebei, and maybe they will start bombing and blockading his airport. Even if the hangar is now built on the airport, the planes are not afraid of Liu Yimin's group bombing, but the airport's runway and navigation equipment are afraid of bombing. If the airport is blocked, the plane cannot take off, and it is too late to say anything.

Toshitoshi Kinoshita very tactfully reported his difficulties. As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, General Okamura Ninji's face hung up, criticizing Kinoshita Toshitoshi for not being able to recognize the situation clearly, and it was a matter of life and death, and he dared to procrastinate. The aircraft group must be dispatched, first attack Liu Yimin's ground troops, and then try to attack Liu Yimin's airfield, and quickly carry out the order!

Kinoshita Toshitoshi could only say yes and went back to the emergency mobilization and deployment!!
