"Okamura-kun, what did I lie to you, the 28th Division is really for you."

Umezu Mijiro smiled and said, "By the way, how much supplies did Tojo-kun give you?" ”

In order to fight a large-scale and high-intensity battle, it is not enough to have soldiers alone, but also to have sufficient combat materials.

"Don't mention it." Speaking of war materials, Okamura Ningji's face immediately fell, and he said, "I was so good at talking, my saliva was almost dry, so he gave me the materials for the fifteen divisions and regiments." ”

"What? I just gave you fifteen divisions to fight? Umezu Mijiro was stunned and said, "In the past two years, the base camp has quietly saved up the combat materials of fifty divisions and regiments, and only gave you fifteen divisions and regiments?" The remaining thirty-five divisions and regiments were given to the Southern Army? It's also too eccentric. ”

"Tojo-kun also has his difficulties." Okamura Ninji sighed and said, "But fortunately, the combat materials for these fifteen divisions are enough. ”

"You don't even need that much at all."

After a pause, Okamura Ningji said again: "After all, the goal of this operation is only to smash the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, although the combat effectiveness of this army is strong enough, but its strength is only 350,000 after all, so the scale of this battle cannot be compared with the battle of Songhu, Xuzhou or Wuhan, and the consumption of corresponding materials will be much smaller." ”

"To deal with the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, the materials for the 15 divisions and regiments are indeed enough." Umezu Mijiro nodded, and then said, "But to open up the mainland communication line, I'm afraid it's not enough, right?" ”

"Of course." Okamura Ninji said solemnly, "At least ten divisions and regiments will be battled." ”

Speaking of this, Okamura Ningji sighed again: "I just don't know if there will be a base camp at that time, and there are still materials that Tojo Jun is willing to allocate to me for the battle of these ten divisions." ”

"Okamura-kun, don't worry." Umezu Mijiro said with a smile.

"When the time comes, I will help you gather the materials for these ten divisions and regiments, anyway, our Kwantung Army has no big battles to fight, and it is a waste to keep the stored materials for material warfare."

"Umezu-kun, thank you so much."

Okamura Ninji was overjoyed when he heard this, and there was no better result.

"Thanks for what." Umezu Mijiro smiled and said, "It's all for the empire and for His Majesty the Emperor, isn't this what we imperial soldiers should do?" ”

Okamura Ninji smiled slightly, and suddenly said: "Umezu-kun, speaking of which, your Kwantung Army has now been transformed into the strategic general reserve of the empire, and as far as the current international situation is concerned, it is impossible for the Soviet Union to pose any threat to the empire, so it is no longer necessary to maintain such a large number of heavy troops in Manchuria. ”

Umezu Mijiro instantly became alert and asked, "What do you want to say?" ”

"Umezu-kun, that's what happened." Okamura Ninji said with a smile, "I applied to the base camp to reorganize the cavalry group of the Mongolian army into the 3rd Tank Division, and the base camp has approved this application, and the vehicles, automobiles, and various types of artillery transferred to the 3rd Division have been loaded and sent from the Osaka dock, but ......."

"But you don't have any." Umezu Mijiro snorted and said, "Really? ”

"Wise, Umezu-kun." Okamura Ninji said with a smile, "If the 3rd Tank Division wants to quickly form combat effectiveness, it is not enough to have weapons and equipment, but also to have a large number of non-commissioned officers who can skillfully control various tanks and trucks, but looking at the entire empire, I am afraid that only Umezu-kun can help me." ”

"You're telling the truth." Umezu Mijiro smiled and said proudly, "Other general armies have only one or two tank wings at best, and only my Kwantung Army has two tank divisions, which can draw a large number of non-commissioned officers who can skillfully control tanks without weakening their own combat effectiveness." ”

Okamura Ninji said solemnly: "Umezu-kun, in short, please." ”

"Well, who made us get on good terms." Umezu Mijiro shook his head helplessly, and said, "However, as far as I know, the northwest of Jin is mostly mountainous, and it seems that the chariot division is difficult to use, right?" Why are you in such a hurry? ”

Okamura Ninji said in a deep voice: "The 3rd Chariot Division is not prepared for the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Shanxi, but for the Fu Yisheng Group in Suiyuan. ”

"Fu Yisheng?" Umezu Mijiro was stunned at first when he heard this.

But after a few seconds, Umezu Mijiro reacted, shook his head and said, "Okamura-kun, you guy is still the same as before, no matter what you do, you will not leak. ”

"This time, Fu Yisheng's group and the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army are afraid that they will be in trouble."

After a pause, he said, "They are unlucky enough to have such an opponent as Okamura-kun." ”

……

In the blink of an eye, the time came to June 10th.

Chang Kaishen called Chen Bui to the study again and asked, "Yan Ji, it's mid-June, and my wife is about to come back from the beautiful country, why is there still no movement from the Japanese army in Shanxi?" ”

"This ......" Chen Bui really wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into.

In addition to being ashamed, Chen Bui was also a little annoyed, and said in his heart that I am the director of the chairman's chamberlain, not the commander of the first army of the Japanese army in Shanxi, why has the Japanese army in Shanxi not moved until now, how do I know? If you want to ask, you should ask Yoshimoto Sadachi, you should ask Okamura Ninji, you ask me what this old man does?

Chang Kaishen snorted lightly and said, "The Japanese won't just forget it, right?" ”

"Probably not." Chen Bui cheered up and said, "This is not in line with the Japanese army's style of acting. ”

"The style of the Japanese army? What was the style of the Japanese army? Chang Kaishen snorted, "The 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army not only occupied the northwest of Shanxi and blocked the Tongpu Railway, but also completely annihilated the 69th Division, and they all rode to the neck of the Japanese to shit, and I didn't see any reaction from the Japanese, so the Japanese army was actually bullying the weak and afraid of the hard." ”

Chen Bui said in his heart, you shouldn't say this, wouldn't it be an admission that the national army is inferior to the Eighth Road?

As the head of the party-state, if these words are spread, won't it chill the hearts of the soldiers of the national army?

Chang Kaishen didn't realize this at all, and was still chattering there to vent the emotions in his heart.

In fact, Chang Kaishen was also anxious, he was really anxious, because the military commander and the central commander had not been able to destroy the Northwest Jin Arsenal for a long time, and Yan Xishan couldn't count on it, so the only thing he could count on was the Japanese, but now the Japanese have not moved for a long time, so he is in a hurry.

Because if it drags on any longer, the arsenal will really be built.

Once the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army is allowed to build the arsenal, then it will have to be?

The 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army did not have a stable supply of ammunition, but only relied on the ammunition captured on the battlefield, and it had already beaten the Japanese army in Shanxi and was embarrassed, so once the 386th Brigade was allowed to build an arsenal and once the 386th Brigade obtained a stable and reliable supply of ammunition, wouldn't the entire Japanese army in Shanxi be eaten by them?

In time, perhaps even the entire Japanese army in North China will be eaten by the Eighth Route.

Hey, I can't think about it, I think of this Chang Kaishen makes my brain hurt, I really can't think about this.

At that moment, Chang Kaishen said hatefully: "Okamura Ningji and Yoshimoto Sadachi, I'm anxious for you." ”

Just as he was anxious, Tang Zong, the leader of the third group, hurriedly walked into the study, and his face was extremely embarrassed.

As soon as Chang Kaishen turned around and saw it, he frowned and asked unhappily, "Naijian, what's wrong?" ”

"Headmaster, there's big trouble." Tang Zong took a breath and said in a low voice, "The Japanese government is increasing its troops in North China, and according to the information we have, at least five divisions have landed from Tianjin Port, and at least two more divisions are entering Beiping through Shanhaiguan, and one of them is most likely the 1st Division of the Japanese Army." ”

"Huh?" Chang Kaishen changed his color, "The Japanese army has increased its troops to North China? ”

"Yes." Tang Zong nodded heavily, and said, "The Japanese army is massively increasing troops in North China!" ”

Chang Kaishen's face instantly fell, and he asked with a dark face: "Naijian, is the information reliable?" ”

Before the words fell, Wang Shihe, the chief of the guard, came in and reported: "Headmaster, Director Dai has something important to see. ”

"Let him in." Chang Kaishen's heart jumped, and he hurriedly motioned to Wang Shihe to lead Dai Li to the study.

Sure enough, the information obtained by the Military Command Bureau was basically the same as that obtained by the three groups, that at least five divisions had already disembarked from the port of Tianjin, and at least two more divisions were marching into Beiping from Shanhaiguan.

Hearing this, Chen Bui's face turned pale with fright, this is going to be a big incident.

However, Chang Kaishen suddenly laughed unexpectedly: "Hehe, it's a good thing, it's a good thing." ”

"Headmaster?" Not only Chen Bui, but also Wang Shihe, Dai Li, and Tang Zong all cast confused glances at Chang Kaishen, and Chen Bui even wondered if Chang Kaishen was suffering from hypothesis because of excessive anxiety?

"Hikoji, that's a good thing." Chang Kaishen regained his composure.

After a pause, Chang Kaishen said again: "With the current situation, the Japanese government will definitely not be so mobilized in order to deal with our national government, so I dare to assert that the Japanese government's large-scale increase in troops in North China this time must be to deal with the Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Shanxi Province, and it must be to deal with the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army. ”

"Headmaster, that seems unlikely." Chen Bui whispered, "Just to deal with a brigade of the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese government is guilty of such a mobilization? These are seven divisions, seven divisions! ”

Chang Kaishen said confidently: "The Japanese government only added seven divisions to North China, and it does not mean that these seven divisions will be used in the northwest of Shanxi Province to deal with the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, after all, the Eighth Route Army operating in North China is not only the 386th Brigade, but also the 129th Division, the 120th Division and the 115th Division. ”

"Seven divisions look like a lot, but when you spread out to the five provinces of North China and the huge North China Plain, there are actually not many."

After a pause, Chang Kaishen said again: "Besides, if the Japanese government really wants to deal with the national army, not the Eighth Route Army, then it should continue to increase troops in Central China, South China, and even Burma, how can it increase troops in North China?" In the final analysis, the main anti-war force now operating in North China is the Eighth Route Army, not the Nationalist Army. ”

Chen Bui nodded subconsciously, this is true.

At present, the main activity in North China is the Eighth Route Army, and the National Army has almost disappeared, although this is not a glorious thing, but this is the case, so the Japanese army is really not coming to North China, it seems that it is indeed not aimed at the National Army, is it really aimed at the Eighth Route Army and the 386th Brigade?

……

The CCP's intelligence capabilities are no worse than those of the Kuomintang.

Almost at the same time that Chang Kaishen learned that the Japanese army had increased its troops in North China, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army also got the news.

"Boss, the situation is not quite right." The deputy chief of the general staff hurriedly walked into the war room with a telegram and said, "The inner line lurking in Beiping and Tianjin has just received an astonishing news that the Japanese army is sending a large number of troops to North China!" ”

"Oh, a massive troop increase?" The boss was surprised, "This is a bit new, didn't the Japanese army transfer several divisions from North China last year, why did it increase troops to North China this year?" ”

"yes, that's a bit weird." The division commander also said, "Didn't you say that the Japanese army was tight in the Pacific theater?" ”

"If you increase your troops, you will increase your troops, and we are not afraid of him." The boss snorted lightly and asked again, "I don't know how many brigades the Japanese government has added to North China this time?" ”

The deputy chief of the General Staff took a breath and said in a deep voice: "Seven divisions." ”

"I thought there were many people, just seven brigades......" The boss thought it was seven brigades at first, but halfway through the repetition, he suddenly reacted and lost his voice, "How many, seven divisions?" ”

"Hmm." The deputy chief of the general staff nodded heavily, "Seven divisions!" ”

The boss immediately fell silent, and the situation was a bit serious.

The entire war room fell into a deathly silence in an instant, and a pin drop could be heard.

After a long time, a staff officer asked in a low voice: "The Japanese army is increasing its troops in North China, shouldn't it be for our Eighth Route Army?" ”

"Isn't it against us, who else can we target?" Immediately, another staff officer retorted in a low voice, "With the little army left by the Kuomintang army in North China, can the Japanese army increase its troops by seven divisions?" ”

The third staff officer said: "But the problem is that our small temple can't accommodate such a big Buddha." ”

The fourth staff officer said: "You have forgotten, the 386th Brigade has just annihilated a main division of the Japanese army, so most of these seven divisions are coming towards the 386th Brigade." ”

Another staff officer said: "This is too exaggerated, isn't it?" In order to deal with the 386th Brigade, seven divisions were mobilized? ”

The last staff officer said: "These seven divisions may not all be used to deal with the 386 into the brain, but we have an old saying in China, called the lion fights the rabbit, and we still use all our strength, so it is not surprising that the Japanese army mobilized a heavy group to deal with the 386th Brigade, because the performance of the 386th Brigade some time ago is indeed worthy of such a degree of attention from the Japanese army." ”

The division commander sighed and said, "It seems that the original political commissar's worries have come true. ”

"Since the Japanese government is willing to sacrifice this blood, what is our Eighth Route Army afraid of?" The boss slammed his fist on the table, and said, "As Xiao Wang said at the beginning, as long as the entire process of the war can be accelerated, it is worth it no matter how much our Eighth Route Army pays!" Just fight it! ”

After saying this, the boss said: "Immediately report this news to the 386th Brigade and the Northwest Column of Shanxi, so that they can step up the reserve of combat materials and prepare for battle as soon as possible." ”

……

In the northwest of Jin.

After being busy for so long without touching the ground, Wang Ye could finally take a breath.

Wang Jiazhi made an appointment with Cheng Yue, called Wang Ye and Wei Dayong to go out, and the four of them rode horses and galloped in the lush bud valley, which was really pleasant.

Wang Jiazhi was especially happy.

I've known Wang Ye for so long, and it's been so long since I've been in a relationship, but the number of times the two have traveled together is only a handful, so she wants to have enough fun today.

Wang Jiazhi also brought the Lycra camera that Wang Ye gave her, and kept taking pictures.

Seeing this camera, Wei Dayong's face immediately showed a look of resentment.

Because he saw this camera first, he originally wanted to give it to Cheng Yue, but it was snatched away by Wang Ye, and then given to Wang Jiazhi, so Cheng Yue still has no camera.

"Look at your little bit of interest." Wang Ye slapped Wei Dayong on the back of the head.

"Isn't it just a camera, and I still hold a grudge today, and I'll get you one when I go back."

"You are a full man, you don't know that a hungry man is hungry." Wei Dayong snorted, "I haven't given Xiaoyue the camera yet." ”

"Idiot, a full man doesn't know that a hungry man is hungry and that's not how it works." Wang Ye said angrily, "Lao Tzu is not a full man, you are not a fucking hungry man, don't think I don't know the good things you did, give me a little leisure, if you accidentally go out of the fire, you kid won't be able to eat and walk around." ”

"Then what am I afraid of, it's a big deal to get married."

Wei Dayong said abruptly: "I'm already high enough now." ”

Wei Dayong is now also at the deputy regimental level.

Wang Ye said: "Then what are you waiting for?" Why aren't you married? ”

"Nonsense, not to wait for you?" Wei Dayong snorted and said, "You are the captain, I am your soldier, if I get married before you, I will not be poked in the back by the brothers." ”

While speaking, Wang Jiazhi and Cheng Yue had already held hands and ran back.

Wang Ye smiled and asked, "Why don't you take pictures?" Let's shoot again. ”

"No more film." Wang Jiazhi pouted and said, "I didn't bring enough film." ”

"What's this?" Wang Ye smiled and said, "I'm going to find someone to go back and get the film, I finally came out today, and I can't have a good time, have a good time?" ”

When Wei Dayong heard this, he was instantly alert: "Captain, declare in advance, I don't want to go back." ”

"If you don't go back, let me go back?" Wang Ye glared at each other and said, "It's against your dog." ”

Wei Dayong's donkey face was immediately twisted into a bitter gourd, and Cheng Yuezhi felt distressed, and said coquettishly: "Captain, you will bully our brother Yong, sister Jiazhi, you don't care about him." ”

Wang Jiazhi chuckled: "Where can I control him." ”

The four of them were talking and laughing, when suddenly the sound of horses' hooves sounded in front of them.

When he looked back in a hurry, he saw Ge Erdan galloping over on a fast horse.

"Well, it's going on again." Wei Dayong sighed lightly and said, "I can't play again." ”

As soon as the words fell, Ge Erdan had already come closer, and said with a breath: "Chief of Staff, the commander asked you to hurry back to the headquarters, saying that there is a major enemy situation!" ”
