Chapter 82 The Shock of Okamura

Hirose Shousuke looked at Chengde City in the middle of the sand table and said word by word: "Commander Banbenzheng Youweimen has sent a telegram. Except for the 4th Cavalry Brigade and Manchuria [***] Zhang Haipeng's troops stationed in Chifeng Qingzhong [***], the main infantry of the 11th and 36th brigades and the division headquarters. It will arrive in Chengde on March 5th, and the 4th and 16th Infantry Brigades, the 3rd Cavalry Brigade, the 33rd Brigade and the 14th Brigade of the 8th Division of Xiyiyi will also arrive in Chengde at noon on the 5th. On the 6th, the deputy chief of Staff of Gangcun Ningci will follow the 16th Division to Chengde.

Yuanbu and Ichiro took a deep breath and said, "Today is March 3rd, which means that we only have half a day today and tomorrow to capture Chengde?"

Hirose Shousuke nodded and said, "Or don't move? Judging from your attack today, how many casualties does our army need to occupy Chengde?

Yuanbu and Ichiro put away their previous mania and arrogance and hesitated for a moment: "If only with my eighth brigade, I need a week to capture the middle [***] position on the side of the ridge of Majiagou with the cooperation of heavy artillery, chariots and aviation forces. Of course, this is my brigade if the attack goes smoothly. Even if you defeat, you will lose your combat effectiveness and can't join the street battles in the city.

Hirose Shousuke nodded with satisfaction. The attitude of Yuanbu and Ichiro made him very satisfied. As a senior commander, courage is commendable, but it is really fundamental to have a calm mind.

Hirose Shousuke paced back and forth in the tent for a few weeks and said, "So shall we complete the encirclement of Chengde first? Sweep around Chengde with a force and set up a blocking line in the southeast of Caoling. The new first division is a few German armed forces in the Nanjing political axe. If we attack it, we will be rescued. We will use this siege point to help, attract the middle [***] who are firmly guarding the mouths of the Great Wall to reinforce Chengde, and give it a heavy blow to the next stage of the battle of our army. The standard paves the way!"

Compared with the ambitious Shousuke Hirose, the division of Matsuki Zhiliang's 14th Division was bleak. The 27th Infantry Brigade, which attacked Tiger Ditch, and the 28th Infantry Brigade, which attacked Monk Guanfeng, did not say that he was the most effective general, Major General Hiramatsu, the commander of the 27th Infantry Brigade. He was killed by the artillery fire of the Chinese defenders while arriving at the front line for inspection?

What does the death of a major general's brigade commander represent? Songmu Zhiliang knew that this matter could never be concealed, and he could only immediately report the news of the death of Pingsong's hero to the former enemy headquarters in Jinzhou at the same time of blocking the news. Songmu Zhiliang knew very well what he was going to face, looking at the monk Guanfeng in the distance! Matsuki Zhiliang hesitated again and again without a general attack order. Years of military command experience told him that the more he was in such an urgent moment, the more calm he was.

It is said that the front command center of the Kwantung Army is located in the former Jinzhou Garrison Command of the Northeast Border Defense Army. Although it is icy and snowy outside at this moment, the heating in the headquarters makes people unable to wear a coat. This is because Ningji Okamura ordered the forced requisition of supplies from Jinzhou and the surrounding 21 counties.

The empire can easily transport several divisions to North Korea and then transport them to anywhere in Manchuria by rail. The empire's army is well-equipped and well-trained, but the empire can't afford the food of their troops? Almost all of the coal plundered by Manchuria was used for production. In winter, most of the imperial palaces in Tokyo were extremely cold. Emperor Hirohito wore thick coats when he received the army ministers.

Compared with the local Manchuria, they are indeed much happier, because they can get what the imperial army needs. Money, food, coal, supplies and even women use bayonets and bullets to speak to the rebels!

Ningji Okamura, the deputy chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, has made great contributions to sending troops to Rehe. The military expenses of the 180,000 army are all financed by the unstable Manchuria region. In order to obtain enough coal, in addition to the 24-hour continuous mining, Ningji Okamura even has a little coal in the homes of ordinary households. Don't let it go. In Jinzhou City alone, more than a hundred households and nearly a thousand people have been killed because they have been found to have coal in their homes that have not been handed over to the imperial army, and their conscience has been greatly damaged.

The killed are often killed in Manmen, and the Japanese army will also be killed naked on the street by ** women [***] to warn those Manchurians who are disloyal to the imperial army.

I don't know how many Chinese people in Manchuria will die this winter, and I don't want to know. The only thing he cares about is Commander Nobuyoshi Muto's evaluation of him!

Suddenly, a major staff officer broke in without knocking on the door and said, "Mr. Deputy Chief of Staff, the commander and the chief of staff are waiting for you in the war room!"

A trace of displeasure on Ningji Okamura's face suddenly disappeared. He knew the major staff officer in front of him, Taro Kui, so he said in a low voice, "Don't be so flustered. You should calm down when something happens, you know? As an emperor, especially the staff of the Imperial Army, you should be more calm.

Ningji Okamura put on his military cap and asked, "What's going on with the empty well?"

Taro Sorai said: "The 10th and 14th Divisions lost the first battle of the attack on Chengde, and His Excellency Major General Hiramatsu, the commander of the 27th Infantry Brigade, was killed in artillery! The two division commanders, Hirose Shousuke and Matsuki Naoki, asked for instructions on the next step.

"What?" Ningji Okamura's face suddenly turned to one side, and he didn't care about what had just taught Taro Kui. He almost rushed to the war room on the west side of the third floor at a trot speed.

When the breathless Ningji Okamura rushed to the combat room, he found that Nobuyoshi Muto, the gloomy commander of the Kwantung Army, was talking with Kuniaki Koiso, the chief of staff. More than a dozen staff officers were constantly marking and updating the troop number and the position of the advance on the sand table, and the telegrams to and from the front were being sent with a flowing signature. Wu Fuji Nobuyoshi and Koiso Kuniaki came to attack Pingjin on the front line of the next stage of the Great Wall. The surprisingly smoothness of the first stage of the Battle of Rehe also made the former enemy's headquarters full of relaxed atmosphere. Even greeting each other was to go to Beiping to eat ramen and dumplings.

If Zhang Xuewu hears this, he will definitely despise me, who have never seen the world, and eating a bowl of ramen can be enjoyed!

Muto Nobuyoshi saw Okamura Ningji and waved his hand and said, "Mr. Okamura, please come this way!"

Ningji Okamura hurriedly kowtowed to Muto Nobuyoshi and Koiso Kuniaki and said, "I'm in a hurry to be rude!"

Muto Nobuyoshi shook his head and said, "Now is not the time to talk about etiquette. Mr. Okamura, do you know what the new first division of the Nanjing Central Army is based on Chengde?"

Ningci Gangcun was slightly stunned and then said, "The German armorers of the Nanjing Zheng Axe Central Army are generally three brigades under the jurisdiction of the division, two regiments of each brigade, plus the artillery battalions, cavalry battalions, engineering battalions, communication battalions, sergeants' battalions, special agent battalions, anti-aircraft artillery battalions and transportation battalions, a total of more than 14,000 people. Of course, China [* **] The team lacks artillery, and there are almost no artillery of more than 100 mm. Even the Kuomintang Central Army is mostly equipped with the 75mm Bofus Mountain Cannon. This kind of mountain gun name can be good, which is better than the imperial imitation of the British Kokura Mountain Gun and the Taisho 11-year-old 75mm mountain gun. As for the so-called anti-aircraft artillery battalion, it is not It's all in vain.
