312 The Japanese Invaders Fight Back
After the matter was settled, Yoshio Shinozuka's originally planned iron rolling sweeping tactics, combined with Yamamoto Kazuki's beheading operation, prepared to act a week later.
But a few days later, the frenzy of robbing the areas occupied by the Japanese puppet army officially kicked off.
In the entire northwest of Shanxi, a large number of bandit forces suddenly joined the camp of robbing the Japanese-occupied areas, which completely exceeded the Japanese side's expectations.
Yoshio Shinozuka, who suddenly learned about this, was also caught off guard.
On the side of Yoshio Shinozuka, he and Yamamoto and Kitagawa concluded that it was most likely the small special operations force of the Eighth Route Army that attacked the bank in the occupied area.
Then, who knows what the bandits went crazy about.
Unexpectedly, they dispatched from all directions to sneak attack the occupied areas of the Japanese puppet army.
One by one, they were rampant and even surpassed the regular anti-Japanese armed forces.
They also threatened that they were the ones who robbed the Japanese puppet army bank not long ago.
Isn't this a slapping of the faces of Yoshio Shinozuka, Yamamoto, and Kitagawa?
Although the bandits are not a good climate, whether it is their number or combat effectiveness, they are not even third-rate troops, at most they can be called a group of rabble, and they are never taken seriously by the little devils.
However, so many bandits suddenly harassed the occupied county towns and counties, affecting the public order and stability of the Japanese puppet army.
The little devil naturally couldn't bear it.
On the one hand, Yoshio Shinozuka ordered to strengthen law and order to deal with the bandits who were harassing everywhere.
While ordering the intelligence department to investigate, what was the reason that caused the crazy behavior of these bandits.
As a result, the cause has not yet been investigated, and the bandit camp that was originally robbed has expanded rapidly.
The first to react were the troops of the Eighth Route Army on all sides.
In the eyes of the Japanese, these Eighth Route Army were the most hateful.
No matter what anti-Japanese forces, as long as there is a little movement, the Eighth Route Army will always come out to join in the fun.
As long as it seizes the opportunity to fight the Japanese army, the Eighth Route Army will never miss it.
As soon as the Eighth Route Army reflected, the direction of the wind immediately changed.
The robbery of the area occupied by the Japanese puppet army soon became a trend, and it seemed that anyone could come and take advantage of the fire to rob and make some oil and water.
Then, the local national army, the central army, the recalcitrant army, and the Jin Sui army, seeing that there was a bargain to be taken advantage of, and everyone was collecting firewood and the flame was high, so they ran over to join in the fun.
"Yaga, these bastards, are I really a soft persimmon in the Japanese Empire?"
The captain of the Japanese army stationed in Yangquan, Nakahara Zhangxiong, couldn't help but curse angrily at the headquarters.
When have the dignified Imperial troops been disgraced like this?
The Eighth Route Army, the Central Army, the Jin Sui Army, and bandits, these armed forces dared to bully the head of the Japanese Empire, which had the strongest actual military strength.
There are not a few people who have the same idea as Nakahara Zhango.
Bandits don't matter, as long as there is a loophole, whoever they should rob will be robbed.
Not to mention the Eighth Route Army, as long as you can beat the little devils and accompany them at any time, if there is an opportunity to beat the water dogs in front of you, you naturally have to seize it.
As for the Central Army, the miscellaneous national army, the recalcitrant army, and the Jin Sui army, they basically made do with the trend.
First, I wanted to make some benefits, and secondly, I also wanted to take the opportunity to beat up a little devil, and finally raised my eyebrows.
After all, it is Chinese, and occasionally there is still a little blood and backbone.
Taiyuan City.
Intelligence officers reported to Yoshio Shinozuka on the losses of the Japanese army in the past week after the wave of large-scale robbery and occupation of the occupied areas in the northwest of Shanxi Province was set off.
"General, according to the statistics conducted by the relevant departments, in the past week, our Yangquan, Shouyang, Tan County, Taigu, Ping'an County, and even the surrounding areas of Taiyuan City have been affected.
In the robbery operations of bandits, the Central Army, the Jin Sui Army, the Eighth Route Army, and the National Army, the losses were heavy.
In Shouyang County, a total of five large and small banks opened by the empire were robbed 12 times in total, 21 shops invested and participated in by the empire, including tea, oil, tobacco, cloth and other material shops, a total of 45 times, three military material warehouses were robbed, one outer line arsenal was robbed, and six maintenance associations in various towns under the jurisdiction of Shouyang County were robbed, a total of 11 ...... were robbed."
A series of data down, it is really miserable.
And this is just one Shouyang County, and the major counties around Shouyang have all been poisoned.
Slightly better is still on the side of Taiyuan City, where the main force of the Japanese army is stationed, and the security is more thorough.
Despite this, many remote towns around Taiyuan City have also been robbed.
What angered Yoshio Shinozuka the most was these bastards from all parties involved in the robbery.
A shop, a bank, a maintenance association, as few as two or three times, as many as five or six times.
It's like knocking a piece of wool hard!
The Devil?
This is a crazy friction on the face of the Great Japanese Empire.
After listening to the news, Yoshio Shinozuka endured his anger, and after the intelligence officer left with the documents, he couldn't hold back any longer, and directly swept away the objects on the table and smashed them to the ground with a crackle.
When Chief of Staff Kitagawa Ayumi arrived at the headquarters, he was also taken aback.
"General!"
"Sit down!"
"Hey!"
"You've heard about it, right?" Yoshio Shinozuka asked, and after venting just now, the anger in his heart calmed down a little.
"Hey!" Beichuan responded, "Things came too suddenly, our army is putting the main force on dealing with the Eighth Route Army, as well as the follow-up preparation of the iron rolling sweeping tactical plan, who knows that the bandits around the occupied area will suddenly riot and carry out crazy robberies!" ”
"Due to the suddenness of the incident, I heard that during these days, a lot of cash, materials, and equipment have been lost in various counties and towns in the occupied areas."
Yoshio Shinozuka had a headache and said: "These bandits really deserve to die, if they are not careful, how did they lead to the current situation?" What a mess. ”
Beichuan smiled bitterly: "General, the matter has come to this, although it is troublesome, but the little bandits, even if they add the Central Army, the Jin Sui Army and the Eighth Route Army, are not enough to shake the rule of our Great Japanese Empire over the occupied areas." ”
"It's just that the Iron Roll Sweep Tactic that we originally planned to implement in two days, and the decapitation operation with the special team, now it seems that we have missed the best time, so we can only postpone it for a while."
Yoshio Shinozuka nodded and said, "It can only be like this, the current situation cannot be left untreated, this is not only a huge loss of the occupied area, but also involves the majesty of our Great Japanese Empire." ”
"Next, deal with the bandits, the Central Army, the Jin Sui Army, and the Eighth Route Army who are looting in the occupied areas. It is necessary to quickly defeat the other side by thunderous means, or even destroy them completely, and re-establish the prestige of our great Japanese empire. ”
"We must not allow the anti-Japanese resistance to form a trend, and in this way it will only increase the process and difficulty of our comprehensive reunification of the whole of North China."
Beichuan agreed: "The general is right, the large-scale robbery incident in front of me, in my opinion, the Eighth Route Army should be inseparable.
Speaking of which, before the Eighth Route Army carried out a large-scale sabotage operation in August, in fact, in Shanxi, the form of anti-Japanese armed forces was already at an absolute disadvantage.
The compromise faction and surrender faction of the Jinsui military, as well as some local national army units, have already shown a tendency to either compromise or surrender to the Japanese Empire.
As a result, the Eighth Route Army made such a fuss about the sabotage operation, and these guys, who were already wavering, turned their heads and raised the banner of resistance against Japan, which was really ruthless. ”
"In the final analysis, the source comes from the Eighth Route Army."
Yoshio Shinozuka deeply agreed: "The Eighth Route Army is a great disaster, and sooner or later it must be eradicated. ”
"Not long ago, the Eighth Route Army launched a large-scale sabotage operation, to our department sent the Yamazaki Brigade to deeply test the strength of the Eighth Route Army, and the plan to encircle and annihilate the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop went bankrupt, and then to the camp where the Chinese anti-Japanese armed forces from all sides participated in the robbery of the occupied areas, and the majesty of our Imperial Japanese troops has slipped to the bottom of the slope."
"If this continues, morale will inevitably plummet, and there will even be a trend of the rise of anti-Japanese armed forces in Shanxi."
"Among them, the Jin Sui Army and some national army troops are typical wall grass, once the advantage is tilted to the Eighth Route Army, they are afraid that they will follow and raise the banner of resistance against Japan, which is something we never want to see."
Speaking of this, Yoshio Shinozuka said categorically: "So I plan to temporarily delay the iron rolling sweep and beheading operation, and first focus on dealing with this wave of bandits robbing the occupied areas in the northwest of Jin." ”
"Focus on attacking the Central Army, the local National Army, and the Jinsui Army, so that these bastards can sober up and realize the invincibility of our Great Japanese Empire."
"In addition, by thunderous means, we will eliminate the bandits and the troops of the Eighth Route Army as much as possible, as a deterrent, and re-boost the morale of our imperial troops."
"With the opening of the temporarily delayed Iron Roll Sweep Tactics, and the smooth start of the decapitation operation with the Secret Service!"
"Order that the army combat units stationed in the counties and towns of the occupied areas shall temporarily cooperate with the local security forces to quickly sweep away the invading bandits, the Central Army, the National Army, the Eighth Route Army, and the Jinsui Army."
"Focus on cracking down on the Central Army, the Jin Sui Army, and the local national army, focus on eliminating the bandits and the Eighth Route Army, and the major mountains around the county, and after obtaining information, immediately carry out a thorough encirclement and suppression of the bandit forces, and put an end to the robbery actions that the bandits may come back in."
"After the public order in the major county towns has been initially stabilized, and the bandits have been encircled and suppressed, and some progress has been made, the main force will be dispatched to sweep the villages and towns around the county seat, and the guerrilla areas and base areas that the Eighth Route Army has taken advantage of these days to develop will be destroyed in one fell swoop."
"Hey! General, I will now order the General Staff to draw up a detailed battle plan. Kitagawa answered the truth.
Yoshio Shinozuka added: "The Eighth Route Army and the bandits will not consider persuasion to surrender for the time being, and will directly take annihilation as the main goal.
After focusing on the Central Army, the local national army and the Jin Sui Army.
Privately, it is possible to carry out a campaign to persuade the Japanese to surrender, and if one of these troops is the first to surrender to the Japanese Empire, it will have a chain effect and set an excellent example for those who surrender and compromise. ”
"Hey!" Kitagawa replied.
The heavens in the northwest of Jin are about to change......
