Chapter 386, Food Defense Battle 5.
Xiao Iso Kunizhao was ordered from Wuhan, and before he ran to Tianjin, he received this clear code telegram news, and he was so frightened that he sweated, how could Jiang Qiang's news be so well-informed? "Is the reason for Jiang Qiang's victory to be an intelligence leak?" Koiso Kuniaki was so frightened that he didn't dare to go to Tianjin on the spot, Tianjin was too close to Wuling Mountain, and after going, he had to end up with Terauchi Shouichi one by one.
But this is an order from the military department, and you can't go if you don't go. Koiso Kuniaki secretly complained, it was really not the right time for this temple to die. And the Japanese army base camp far away in Japan also quickly received this clear news, although there was no photo, but the black and white words also surprised the devil base camp, this Jiang Qiang's news can be so well-informed, Koiso Kuniaki appointed.
It has only been half a day since the commander of the North China Dispatch Army, and other people don't know how Jiang Qiang knew. "Could it be the communications troops of the Imperial base camp?" The devil has to suspect that there is nothing more possible than that. "Baga, immediately arrest all the communication soldiers in the base camp and torture them, and you must ask who sent information to Jiang Qiang." Of course, Jiang Qiang didn't know that the devil's army base camp was already in a mess at this time, he invented the code telegram to scare the devils, and the devils in North China knew that Terauchi Shouyi was killed by Qin Siyu under Jiang Qiang at this time, and they hated each other.
, I had to go to the Jiaodong Peninsula to settle accounts with Jiang Qiang immediately, but as soon as I got out of the city gate, I saw that the ground was full of wooden boards, like tombs prepared for them. This mine is too powerful, and the sappers sent out by the devils who want to go out in several county towns have been shot and killed from a distance, which makes the devil very annoyed, and when he was about to bombard the mines with artillery, he received an order not to provoke Qin Siyu in a short time.
The devil had no choice but to act as a shrunken turtle, standing on the city wall in the distance and quietly watching Qin Siyu's harvester scurrying back and forth in the distance, and the grain being transported back to Yunwu Mountain by thousands. At the same time, the Eighth Route Army in the north of Xinzhou was a little different from Qin Siyu, they relied on hundreds of thousands of people and harvesters to start harvesting grain, and at the same time mobilized militia and guerrillas to carry out a tenacious struggle with the little devils.
"Hey, how do you know that Koiso Kuniaki will come to Tianjin to take office soon?" Yuko Kitajima asked, taking a sip of water. Qin Siyu said, "It was Brother Jiang who told me the following when he was there," and smiled. Koiso Kuniaki was finally tried and sentenced to life imprisonment and died tragically in prison, Jiang Qiang certainly would not let these war criminals live until that time, and he would scare them to death if he couldn't kill them. Jiang Qiang saw the information sent by Jinan in Zhaoyuan, and he was already ruthless.
"I've got to give them a big gift this dog's day." Qin Siyu continued. "What attention came to mind?" Yuko Kitajima asked. "Have you forgotten our military song? The military song of the battle of beheading, now the devils don't provoke us, they all go to provoke the Eighth Route Army, and the Battle of Nanchang doesn't know when it will break out, and there is no news from Xia Qing's side, I have to take the initiative to attack. Qin Siyu said.
"Shall we participate in the Battle of Nanchang?" Yuko Kitajima asked. "Don't participate, but the Eighth Route Army will participate, this time they were ordered to go south, and we will hide in the north to develop, after the Battle of Nanchang, our base may encounter the key care of the devils, however, we still say that number of deaths." Qin Siyu said. The two of them did not know that Yan Junliu, the commander of the devil who originally belonged to Terauchi Shouichi to command the North China Front Army and the Central China Front Army, at this time the combat command of the entire Nanchang Battle was handed over to Yan Junliu, while Matsui Shigen of the Southern Dispatch Army personally commanded the devil soldiers in the south, and the entire front advanced north and south, forming a flanking situation. Under the command of patriotic general Li Zongren, the Fifth Theater of the Chinese Theater successively mobilized 64 divisions and three brigades of about 600,000 people to concentrate the main force in the area north of Nanchang to resist the Japanese invasion on the northern front. "I think that since the enemy has given us time to collect grain, then we can collect grain well, and if we force the Kwantung Army to clean up the mess in North China, aren't we thankless at this time? It only takes five or six days to collect grain, and when the harvest is over, it is not too late to go to various county towns to behead devil officers. Yuko Kitajima said.
At this time, Wu Xingkui, Tao Hui, Liu Guofang, Wang Tianfu and other four columns stared at the four county towns of the devil respectively, and found that after sniping and killing a few devil sappers, the devil did not move. "This grandmother is boring, they all say that devils are not afraid of death, this is really afraid of death." Wu Xingkui looked at the 95 assault rifle in his hand, this hasn't been fought yet? The little devil will not go out of the city, and Qin Ji Chang did not give them the order to attack the city, and now everyone.
There are not many devils in the county, and if they are allowed to attack the city, there will be no problem in taking the county in front of them. "Forget it, what about the little devil who let us develop?" The devils in Yi County, Hebei Province did not move, Wang Tianfu and others lay on the ground, their buttocks were hot from the sun, the devils closed the city gate, and the people who came out with sickles immediately stopped.
, the grain they harvested had to be transported back with wheat stalks, which was too troublesome, and the harvester was still neat. One night and one day, more than 10,000 acres of land on Qin Siyu's side were harvested, the devils didn't care, they couldn't rest, and they continued to harvest at night, the war was still long? Fear of going hungry.
"Speed up and cut wheat, we have to compete with the little devil for time, the little devil wants to engage in the Nanchang battle, let's stab the little devil in North China." In the evening, Qin Siyu asked Yuko Kitajima to send a message to all the troops.
As soon as several grain collection teams heard that there would be a combat mission after harvesting the grain, it was not necessary to speed up the harvest, and at the time of harvesting, in addition to Wang Tianfu, Wu Xingkui, Tao Hui, and Liu Guofang were not idle, and began to register the people who enlisted in the army. Many people drove the wagons to transport grain, and they were also registered under their own names, and there were many duplicate registrations, and by the next morning, there were more than 4,000 people in each of the three columns, and the task of collecting grain was heavy, and they were responsible for training.
, as well as the garrison work in Zhangjiakou. Wang Tianfu was a little depressed, their column was under Zhangjiakou, and the surrounding people helped to collect grain, and each column increased to more than 4,000 people, which surpassed them. "This has to change the strategy, Qingchuan, let me tell you, you are the first division commander of our fourth column, and our column will be an anti-Japanese landing column in the future, and the people you lead will be called the anti-Japanese landing division." Wang Tianfu thought for a while and said.
"Ah, this, can I do it?" Qingchuan was originally a squad leader of the devil, but he didn't understand what the column meant, and he became the division commander all of a sudden, with more than 1,000 people under him. "What can't work, Lao Tzu has no doubt about employing people, but don't play any tricks on Lao Tzu." After Wang Tianfu finished speaking, he called Shang Qingchuan to bring a group of Japanese devil captives to go up and pull people.
These ordinary people all hate devils, and when they saw Wang Tianfu bringing a few devil captive soldiers up to pull people, they were all angry, saying why don't they follow Wang Tianfu. "We're also devils, but we're wearing devil clothes." Wang Tianfu lied. "At first glance, it's a devil, and it's so low." What do the common people have, you can see at a glance that several devil captives led by Wang Tianfu have captured soldiers.
"Damn, next time I'll bring a few tall ones." Wang Tianfu muttered to himself, his voice was very loud, and he amused a group of angry people. "We are also the People's Liberation Army of Asia." A few devils quit, and now they received anti-war education, and began to seriously follow Jiang Qiang and them to fight the little devils.
"We resist Japan regardless of factions, young and old, regions, or countries, and there are no good devils, but after education, they are the ones who have become better." Wang Tianfu followed and said. "We are an anti-Japanese landing column, and when the time comes to fight the Japanese landing operation, we will be the first of all." After Wang Tianfu finished speaking, he saw that no ordinary people paid attention to him, and continued to shout loudly.
"Anti-Japanese Login Division?" As soon as the common people heard this word, they became interested, this little devil landed in China and hit his hometown in China, so why can't he hit their homeland in the future? "What's the matter, this task is arduous, I don't want it for ordinary people, I can't drag it." Wang Tianfu saw someone coming and immediately dragged it on.
"It's just, look at you, you're so thin that you won't even be able to hold a gun when the time comes." Several devil soldiers followed Wang Tianfu to cooperate. "Hey, I'm too thin, it's not that the devil robbed me of food, when the time comes, I'll eat fat, so much food, I can't get fat." The mocked man said. After such a drag, there were more people, and soon a bunch of people from Wuyang and Wuyang gathered around Wang Tianfu.
"Qingchuan, a few of you go over there to promote." Wang Tianfu saw more and more people coming, and immediately said to two of the devil soldiers, "Let's just say that the anti-Japanese landing division has signed up." "You two, hurry up and get the notebook to register your name." After Wang Tianfu finished speaking, he hurriedly said to the remaining few devil captives. A few devil captives took out the book and were stunned, this can't write Chinese characters, Wang Tianfu quickly grabbed the book when he saw it, and directly asked a few devil captives to start reading the names, he registered next to him, and got more than 3,000 names in one afternoon. "Almost, we're more than 5,000 people." Wang Tianfu is not a small number of people, but many children and old men also want to come over to fight devils, but he refused, the length is not as high as the gun, or the old ones are in their fifties, and they are okay in their forties, and women can't ask for them.
Tao Hui, Wu Xingkui, and Liu Guofang soon heard that Wang Tianfu also began to recruit people, and gave his column a terrible name, called the Anti-Japanese Landing Column. "Alas, this can't let Wang Tianfu surpass us, our column is called the Zhuri Landing Column." Wu Xingkui said. "Column leader, it's okay to punish the sun, but the landing column behind is a little repetitive, I'm afraid that it can't compare with others in terms of momentum?" A soldier said to Wu Xingkui.
"And what's your name?" After hearing this, Wu Xingkui asked the soldier. "Zhuri advance column." The soldier said. "It's not a login, no?" Wu Xingkui was still not satisfied. "Liberation of Tokyo Advance Column." Another soldier spoke beside him.
"Hey, that's a good name." Wu Xingkui shouted after hearing this, and quickly called all the soldiers over, and after harvesting the grain, he called it by this name. At the same time, Tao Hui sent someone to quietly inquire about the names of these two guys, and immediately gave himself a longer name: the mighty and domineering invincible independent column that landed on the island of Xuri Annihilation.
"Captain, this name is a bit long." When a soldier heard this, he felt that it was a little longer, and it was a twisting mouth. "It's not long, it's easy to remember when it's long." Tao Hui disagreed, and his name was a little longer than Wang Tianfu and Wu Xingkui.
"Later, you can tell me what the name of Liu Guofang's bastard boy is." Tao Hui then said to a soldier. Liu Guofang was not in a hurry, waiting for them to come up with names, and then began to ponder. "They've all come up with good names, what are we going to do." Many people here are uneducated, and there are few words that come to mind, and after hearing the names of the three columns, he said to Liu Guofang anxiously.
"Anxious?" Liu Guofang said, "No, let's ask Brigade Commander Qin, hehe, let him help us think of a name." "Ah, this can't be done, find Miss Yuko Kitajima to get it." Some soldiers think that Kitajima Yuko has a lot of ghost ideas, so it's right to find Kitajima Yuko to choose a name.
So a group of people soon found Yuko Kitajima, Yuko Kitajima was with Chen Mingzhu, and after hearing that Liu Guofang had asked the two of them to name the column, they ran over together. "Two young ladies, their names are the Anti-Japanese Landing Column, the Advance Column for the Liberation of Tokyo, and the Mighty and Domineering Invincible Independent Column for the Landing of the Island of Xuri, I have to surpass them in this name." Liu Guofang saw the two beauties and said immediately.
"Who gave the last name, it is so long, and it also landed on the mighty and domineering invincible independent column of Xuri Destruction Island." Yuko Kitajima and Chen Mingzhu both laughed when they heard this.
"This name is good, it was the uneducated Tao Hui." Liu Guofang said. "This name is still hanging in the sky, it's so complicated, what are the devils most afraid of, let's call it?" Yuko Kitajima couldn't remember what to call for a while, so she couldn't help but say something after hearing it.
"What are the devils most afraid of, what are we most afraid of our commander-in-chief Jiang Qiang." Liu Guofang said after hearing this. "And our new weapon, black technology." Chen Mingzhu continued. "Black technology, black technology, wait, hey, there is, there is." Liu Guofang immediately jumped up after hearing this, "The name of my third column is called: Lao Tzu is Jiang Qiang's Black Technology Pioneer Team. ”
"Ahh Chen Mingzhu and Yuko Kitajima had a black line after hearing this. "Oh, that's it, it's better than their name, and it has a sense of fashion, this black technology, the little devil probably can't figure out what it is." Liu Guofang thinks that this name is good, the little devil can probably be scared when he hears the word Jiang Qiang, and then listens to the black technology, and he falls directly into the bottomless abyss, so don't you wait to die?
Before the Imperial Council began, the Japanese army generals and Japanese naval generals began to stare at the mung beans, staring at the small beans, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.
If Emperor Hirohito hadn't sat on it, the two groups might have pinched each other on the spot. But soon, these people stopped staring. Because at this time, Prime Minister Fumihiro Konoe, who was regarded as a thorn in the side of the Japanese military department, also walked into the conference room, this person is almost a sworn enemy in the eyes of the military, and it is a sharp blade used by Emperor Hirohito to restrain the military.
Fumiro Konoe walked into the conference room with a serious face, bowed to Emperor Hirohito behind the curtain, and then sat at the end of the long table, waiting for the meeting to begin.
After the curtain was lowered, Emperor Hirohito's face was extremely unhappy, because of the defeat in this operation, the war against China fell into a state of complete paralysis, and even the extremely important Tianjin and Qingdao were lost, and they became pawns in the hands of that damned Jiang Qiang.
This is simply a clean loss of the results of the very expensive Battle of Xuzhou at once! "Let's get started." With the sound of low air pressure, the Imperial Council began.
Kojimano was the first to make a review: "Your Majesty, since the minister of war has been purging the combat situation of the army all the time, but before seeing results, it ushered in a big war, and the imperial army fought with the careerist Jiang Qiang without sufficient preparations, and this defeat is really the responsibility of the minister, and there is no atonement for death!" Emperor Hirohito did not speak, but looked at Fumiro Konoe.
Konoe Fumiro understood and immediately asked, "The army is not fully prepared? What a big joke, isn't the army already expanding its armaments in accordance with the recommendations of the General Staff Headquarters? The Ministry of Finance has allocated countless funds to the Ministry of Military Affairs for you to purchase countless weapons and equipment from the outside world for you to carry out drastic arms construction, but what about you? Can we only repay Your Majesty with such defeats again and again? ”
Kojima Nojiro lowered his head, it was Konoe Fumiro who was carrying him at the beginning, and he was considered to have a good understanding of himself, but now it seems that I am afraid that this benefactor is only using himself as a pawn against the old army general, and now, he is about to usher in his blow.
Kojima Nojiro lowered his head and said: "Although the Ministry of Finance has allocated a certain amount of money to the army, in the process of purchasing weapons and equipment from the outside world, we have encountered the secret calculations of American companies, and a large number of targets have not been found. At the moment, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has put pressure on the United States, but the Americans have turned a blind eye to our pressure and do not care at all......"
Konoe Fumiro immediately said: "Don't shirk responsibility! Now the army is an active campaign, not a passive encounter campaign! It was you who took the initiative to fight two great defeats in the Far East and in East China, and I hope that you will explain the specific process of the two battles in front of His Majesty the Emperor and give a reasonable explanation! ”
Kojima Nojiro said respectfully: "Hi Yi! Then, Kojima no Jiro began to explain the whole process of the Battle of Nomenkan and the Battle of Qingdao at a glance, he was worthy of being a competent Minister of War, all the battle actions were recorded in his mind, and he explained the two defeats in an orderly manner, and carried out a general battle deduction course comparable to that of a military school teacher.
Emperor Hirohito, on the other hand, frowned from time to time, and he was also well versed in military affairs, after all, his teachers were General Nogi Noshinori, known as the god of the Japanese Army, and General Heihachiro Togo, who won the Russo-Japanese naval battle.
Therefore, to understand the specific course of these two battles, it is not too demanding for him. But the more you know, the more you can feel a rush of despair from these two battles. The post-war review is so terrifying, I'm afraid the front-line battle situation will be even more terrifying!
Hearing the end, Kojima Nojiro bowed again: "The ministers have betrayed the trust of His Majesty the Emperor, damaged the trust, and insulted the dignity of the empire, I hope Your Majesty will punish him severely!" Emperor Hirohito, on the other hand, remained stern and silent. The Japanese army and navy generals endured the unsettling silence with their heads bowed.
After a long time, Emperor Hirohito slowly spoke: "Ladies and gentlemen, I once traveled to Europe as the crown prince, at that time, the more I saw the prosperity and industrial development of Europe, the more I felt extremely worried about the future of Asia, the development of Western civilization has reached the peak of the peak, but the empire even had to order a battleship from Britain at that time, as an example of Asian civilization, but it could not lead the whole of Asia to a glorious future, I am very worried......
"Ishihara is right, the future world will be the hegemony of the West and the royal road of the East colliding with each other, and there will be a fierce war, and if the Japanese Empire wants to win this war, all the people must be exhausted, even at the cost of their lives, and if necessary, I can also break jade for the future."
Emperor Hirohito looked at Seishiro Itagaki aggressively: "Nine years ago, you and Ishihara Waner planned to launch the Northeast Incident, successfully captured Shenyang, Nenjiang, Rehe and even Jinzhou, and captured Manchuria, which was three times the size of Japan. "But that was the conspiracy of the five generals of Tang Juwu in Shanghai, and at that time we killed nearly 200,000 civilians of the empire. This time, I fought Wang Yizhe again, and said again that it ended in failure.
Jiro Kojino's head was lower. "Therefore, in disregard of the impeachment of the civilian clique for your violation of the army's criminal law, and in disregard of the suppression of your young and strong faction by the old generals, I have promoted you to the Minister of the Army, Hideki Tojo to the vice minister of the army, and Okamura Ninji to the commander of the North China Front.
"But now? What are you giving back to the Empire? Failed one after another! Kojima Nojiro and Hideki Tojo immediately knelt on the ground: "The ministers have betrayed His Majesty's trust, and they will be to blame for their deaths!" ”
Emperor Hirohito waved his hand: "I will not punish you!" If you are punished again, then there will be no talented generals in the empire worth appointing! I only want to know when you will be able to quell the threat, capture China, and truly lay the foundation for the empire's continental cause! ”
Kojima Nojiro gritted his teeth: "Within five years, Asia will be pacified!" Emperor Hirohito waved his hand: "It won't last for five years!" Konoe Fumiro, tell them about the current financial situation of the Empire! "Hi Yi!"
Konoe Fumiro immediately said: "At present, because the war has not been over for a long time, the finances of the empire have reached a precarious point. And even more dangerous is the problem of war resources. ”
