Chapter 551: Tada's Decision (Second Update!) )

After the failure of the sweep of the 386th Brigade of Taiyue, the commander of the North China Front, General Binshan Yuan, was directly replaced by Lieutenant General Tada.

As the commander of the North China Front with the rank of lieutenant general, Tada Jun had many challenges to face.

The most important challenge was to gain the support of more than a dozen lieutenant generals of the North China Front as a lieutenant general.

Even if he is a commander appointed by the military department, without the support of these lieutenant generals, division commanders and commanders who hold military power, he will definitely not make any achievements in the position of commander of the North China Front, and he may even be disgraced.

In this case, Matsumoto Daisa's matter gave himself a breakthrough.

Domestic means to transfer Matsumoto directly back to Japan, stay in the military headquarters for a year, and then send him to the army as a brigade commander.

However, in order to gain the support of Matsu's huge political connections and the backstage of the military department, Tada Jun decisively vetoed the military department's intentions.

The actions of the special forces in the North China Front did not meet expectations, and they were directly changed by Tada Jun, and achieved good results.

In this way, Matsumoto will not have to be punished and refrigerated.

In addition, Tada Jun found that the special forces trained by Matsumoto did have a hand in dealing with the Eighth Route Army, and he had an idea, and directly decided to leave him in the North China Front Army, and he was promoted to the rank of knight and directly served as the commander of the major general brigade.

At the headquarters of the Japanese Front in North China, the chief of staff rushed in with a telegram on his face, and he knew that it was a good thing at a glance. 【】

"Your Excellency Commander, your decision to insist that Major General Matsumoto serve as the commander of the newly expanded Linyi Garrison Brigade is really too wise, in just a few days, Matsumoto has defeated the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army operating in Linyi, and less than 300 people are chased by one of our infantry brigades and hidden in the mountains!"

"I believe that with Major General Matsumoto in Linyi, the Eighth Route Army in Linyi and several surrounding counties can no longer be arrogant, and will eventually be eliminated by Major General Matsumoto!"

Tada Jun also smiled, stared at the chief of staff and asked: "If I guessed correctly, the reason why Matsumoto was able to achieve such a big result in such a short period of time should be that the remnants of the special forces in his hands should play a lot of roles!" ”

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander!" The chief of staff affirmed.

"Looks like I was right to leave Matsumoto behind!" Tada affirmed.

"The performance of the special forces on the battlefield, although not as expected, was disbanded by the military department. But one thing is undeniable, the special forces still have a set of methods for dealing with the guerrilla warfare of the Eighth Route Army, and our main opponent is the Eighth Route Army, so the special forces cannot disappear, and I will use them to deal with the Eighth Route Army! ”

Then, without waiting for the chief of staff to ask about the doubts and worries in his heart, he began to give orders.

"Send a telegram to Major General Matsumoto, and the front army will give the Linyi garrison brigade another brigade to continue to form and train special forces to fight against the Eighth Route Army. All the cost of supplies and equipment will be borne by the Front! ”

"Also, tell Major General Matsumoto to do a good job in Linyi and train the special brigade well. As long as the Linyi garrison brigade has sufficient combat merits and combat effectiveness, I will apply to the military department to expand the garrison brigade into an independent mixed brigade and become a field unit! ”

This telegram from Tada Jun, the headquarters of the North China Front, restored Matsumoto's confidence, and while he was responsible for purging the surrounding counties of anti-Japanese forces, he began to assemble and train the special forces he was best at.

In the end, Matsumoto and his devils directly developed into the most difficult devils in the entire Taiyue, and even in the entire Shanxi!

At the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, Wang Ping, who had been nervous for nearly two months, rarely had a good rest for a while.

Every day, I train on time at night, and during the day, I go into the mountains to train with the special combat team, and by the way, I hunt and fight tooth sacrifices.

In the past two months in Taiyue, because of various reasons such as the war and the lack of food for the troops, he ate coarse grain and marching dry food every day, and was lucky enough to eat some canned food captured by the devil.

At the end of a day's training, Wang Ping had just returned to the station with two hares on his back when the headquarters guard knocked on his door.

"Captain Wang, the chief wants to see you, let you go over immediately, the sooner the better!" As soon as he saw Wang Ping, the other party reported, his eyes full of envy.

Whether it was the first cooking squad leader or the captain of the special operations team who followed closely, the current captain of the special operations team. Wang Ping's rank is not high, but he enjoys the treatment of cadres above the regimental level, and even better than the head of the headquarters in terms of food. This is absolutely unprecedented at the headquarters.

However, Wang Ping did it. Not only did he do it, but the head of the headquarters also turned a blind eye to what he did, closed one eye, and didn't care about it directly!

Wang Pingke didn't care what the guards in front of him thought, and frowned and muttered to himself.

"In such a hurry? Could it be that something is wrong again! ”

"I don't know, the two chiefs are waiting for you at the headquarters, so that you can go over as soon as you receive the order!" The guard hastened to answer.

Wang Ping's reaction speed was fast, and he tied the armed belt on the table to his waist and walked out.

In the war room of the headquarters, as soon as Wang Ping walked in, the deputy commander-in-chief handed a telegram to him.

"This is an urgent telegram just sent by Brigade Commander Chen of the 386th Brigade, it is related to you, you can take a look first!"

"Matsumoto, the commander of the Linyi Garrison Brigade, he is no longer engaged in special forces!" As soon as he read the telegram halfway, Wang Ping frowned and muttered to himself.

After reading the entire telegram, Wang Ping's brows furrowed even deeper.

"It's unbelievable that Tada Jun trusts Matsumoto so much!"

"Not only let him be the brigade commander, but also let him reorganize the special forces to deal with us, in this case, the 386 brigade will definitely suffer a big loss!"

"Matsumoto is from a special forces background, and he must be very familiar with our guerrilla warfare and movement warfare, let him go to Linyi as a brigade commander, it will definitely be very difficult for our troops to develop there, and if you don't do it, you will be driven out by Matsumoto, and it is even possible to eliminate it!"

"You're right, let's take a look at the second telegram from Brigadier Chen!" The deputy commander-in-chief took out another telegram and said.

"The new regiment was crippled by Matsumoto, and there was only one deputy battalion commander and more than 200 remnants left in the whole regiment, and all the others died. And he was chased all the way to the mountains by the devils! ”

"Captain Zhou has died!" Wang Ping was stunned for a moment, and exclaimed with an incredulous expression.

"Not only Regiment Commander Zhou, but also the political commissar and chief of staff of the new regiment, including other personnel in the command and a battalion headquarters below, were all served by devils!" This time it was the deputy chief of staff who spoke, and his tone was full of anger and grievance.

"It's been a few years since our Eighth Route Army sent troops to resist Japan, and no regiment has suffered such a big loss again! This battle was too embarrassing. Also, as soon as the new regiment retreated, the anti-Japanese deeds in Linyi and several surrounding counties were leaderless and were devastated by the devils. ”

"It can be said that now our anti-Japanese resistance in Linyi is in a blank state!"

Wang Ping's gaze quickly shifted to the map on the wall, and replied with a frown: "Linyi is too important, and the Tongpu Railway must not be lost!" ”
