Jingxing County, Headquarters of the 39th Group Army.
Liu Yi walked into the war room excitedly and said to Yue Weihan and Commander Liu: "General, Commander Liu, the Eighth Route Army Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region has done its job!"
"Oh?" Yue Weihan exchanged glances with Mr. Liu and said happily, "How was the harvest?"
Liu Yidao: "The two regiments of the Jinsui Army only managed to escape with a few scouts, and the Eighth Route Army deliberately let them go. The rest were all taken as prisoners. As for the little devil's infantry brigade, they were completely wiped out in Mazhuang Village.
Not one of them ran away! But the little devil has aerial reconnaissance, so it is not easy to deceive the old devil like Okamura."
"There is no need to lie to Okacun." Mr. Liu smiled and said, "Just make Chief Yan have doubts."
"Old Liu hit the nail on the head." Yue Weihan also said, "Mr. Yan has no shortcomings, but he is a little bad and suspicious! This time he lost millions of kilograms of grain and cotton, and also lost the equipment of two regiments.
, the loss is not small, judging from Commander Yan’s character, he is probably unwilling to cooperate with the *** people anymore.”
In the end, Chief Yan failed to catch Kato Keiroku.
Kato Keiroku has lived in China for sixteen years and stayed in Shanxi for six years. He can speak authentic Shanxi dialect. As long as this little devil burrows into a crowd, even the gods can't find him.
Okamura Neiji is still conducting a thorough investigation, but Chief Yan has already made up his mind to terminate cooperation.
Three days later, the Special High School Section of the Japanese secret service stationed in Peiping found out the whole story. Okamura Neiji also sent people to Taiyuan again to try to explain the ins and outs of the matter, but Chief Yan rejected Okamura Neiji without hesitation.
suggestions, and the envoy sent by Okamura Neji was also shot.
In the words of Chief Yan, who knows if this is another trap for Okamura?
Shanxi people have always been known for their shrewd minds, and Chief Yan did not want to fall twice in the same place.
Cuimingzhuang, eastern suburb of Peiping.
Major General Hirata walked quickly into Okamura Neiji's office. He immediately put his feet back and stood at attention and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, Yan Xishan refused to continue to cooperate with the imperial army and killed Kimura-kun!"
"Bagagaru!" Neji Okamura's eyes suddenly turned fierce, and then returned to normal.
In fact, Okamura Neiji is by no means as gentle as the "Three Nos" policy he promoted. This old devil is actually a complete militarist, even more brutal than Tada Shun, but Tada Shun is just a brainless idiot.
, but Okamura Neji is an extremely insidious snake, and his sharp fangs have been well hidden by him.
"Your Excellency, Commander, should we teach Yan Xishan a lesson?" Hirata said ferociously.
The Jinsui Army is not the Thirty-ninth Group Army, and Yan Xishan is not Yue Weihan. With the North China Front Army's ammunition reserves and troop allocation, it is of course very difficult to carry out a comprehensive sweep of the entire North China region, but if it is just a small punishment
Yan Xishan, it’s not that difficult.
"No." Okamura Neiji waved his hand and said, "As the saying goes, a small amount of impatience will ruin a big plan. The most important thing for the imperial army right now is to prepare military rations and winter cotton uniforms. It is better not to cause unnecessary complications. Since Yan Xishan refused to communicate with the emperor,
If we want to cooperate with the military, then we need to think of other countermeasures..."
Judge Hirata said: "Your Majesty Commander, if it doesn't work, then just loot the Mengsui area."
"Plunder the Meng-Sui area?" Okamura Neiji suddenly thought. Although the Meng-Sui area does not produce food or cotton, it does produce cattle, sheep and livestock.
As long as a brutal sweep is carried out in the Mengsui area, enough military rations and furs can be collected. Without cotton military uniforms, fur coats are the same. Moreover, the population of the Mengsui area is small, and the impact is relatively small.
Even if the cruel Sanguang policy is implemented in the Meng-Sui area, it will not affect the stability of North China.
However, the plan to loot the Mengsui area is likely to encounter fierce opposition from the base camp.
Because so far, the Meng-Sui area has been basically integrated into the empire like North Korea, Taiwan, Manchuria and other places. It has even formed a cavalry corps based on Meng-Sui's children. The Meng-Sui cavalry corps is facing His Majesty the Emperor.
His loyalty is unquestionable, and he is responsible for preventing the Soviet Union from being dumped.
When Okamura Neji was hesitating, Minami Yunko suddenly walked in with her round and fat buttocks swaying.
"Your Excellency, Commander." Nanzo Yunzi suddenly stepped back and stood at attention towards Okamura Neji, "Just now, the Peiping Station of the China Military Command Bureau sent a secret letter to the secret service, claiming that Hu Zongnan, the commander-in-chief of the Zhongtiao Mountain Theater in China, is willing to take 500 tons of grain.
And two hundred tons of cotton in exchange for arms for the imperial army!"
"Hu Zongnan?" Okamura Neji said, "China Central Army!?"
"Hai." Nanzao Yunzi suddenly lowered his head and said, "Your Excellency, Commander, this should be true."
"Nakajoyama?" Neji Okamura murmured, and suddenly strode to the map hanging on the wall. Masaru Hirata hurriedly followed, picked up the command pole and found the location of Mount Nakajo on the map.
"Yo Xi." Okamura Neji said happily, "Immediately send someone to contact Hu Zongnan secretly. If Hu Zongnan is really willing to cooperate with the imperial army, then the grain and cotton in exchange can be directly transferred from Zhongtiao Mountain where the Central Army of China is stationed.
Transported to Henan, the Thirty-ninth Group Army and the Eighth Route Army are beyond their reach even if they want to cause trouble!"
"Hai." Nan Zao Yunzi lowered his head suddenly and immediately took the order.
Cangyan Mountain, officer training camp.
After the Japanese army occupied the transportation lines and major counties in North China, there was no movement anymore. The Japanese and the Eighth Route Army guerrillas harassed them several times, but they suffered a small loss. As a result, the two sides fell into a stalemate, but everyone knows
This stalemate is only temporary, and both sides are secretly holding back their strength, waiting for the upcoming desperate battle.
The Thirty-ninth Group Army is even more unlikely to be idle. It is conducting an unprecedented large-scale military training campaign!
Today's Thirty-ninth Group Army has four divisions and four brigades, with more than 80,000 officers and soldiers. Yue Weihan will never be able to train alone. And as the commander-in-chief of the group army and the director of the Hebei-Shandong Appeasement Office, Yue Weihan needs to deal with it every day
My official duties are already piled up, so I can't be distracted from military training.
The training of front-line troops ultimately depends on grassroots officers!
However, the Thirty-ninth Group Army, like most of the Communist Party, the grassroots officers generally have little education and have not received formal military school education. Therefore, the training methods and effects are very worrying. In order to improve the training effect as much as possible, Yue Weihanhua
A large amount of manpower and material resources were spent to set up an officer training camp in Cangyan Mountain.
The officer training camp and the Taihang Branch of the Central Military Academy are completely different.
The purpose of the Taihang Branch of the Central Military Academy is to train senior commanders. Not to mention the division commanders and brigade commanders in the senior command class, they have all already reached senior command positions, even the regiments and battalions in the junior command class.
Commander, Yue Weihan also trained them as future division commanders and brigade commanders.
The purpose of the officer training camp is to train junior officers of the group army in rotation.
In the battle order of the regular army, company and platoon-level officers rarely perform combat tasks alone. They usually only need to mechanically carry out orders from the top. Therefore, it is tolerable to not have the ability to command tactically. However, as a
If a grassroots officer does not have excellent military qualities, he will not be able to do it.
Military literacy mainly refers to military skills such as shooting and stabbing, especially being able to lead troops!
Being able to lead soldiers mentioned here mainly has two meanings. The first meaning is to get along with the soldiers and have strong personal appeal. This may sound mysterious, but in fact it is not difficult to do it. As long as the officer
If you have excellent military skills and can lead by example, you will basically win the sincere support of the soldiers; the second meaning is that you can train troops. When not fighting, officers must learn to consciously train troops. This is actually a habit.
question.
Therefore, the Cangyan Mountain Officer Training Camp has two purposes. One is to improve the military skills of grassroots officers, and the other is to strengthen the officers' military style and cast four words in their bones: "Train and fight!" As a soldier
, in addition to fighting, it is training. When you step off the training field, you will step onto the battlefield.
The officer training camp recruits two hundred officers in each phase. The main training subjects include shooting, stabbing, physical fitness, and survival in the wild.
The instructor for the shooting subject is Zhao Youting, the instructor for the stabbing subject is Zhao Hanjie, who was born in the Northwest Army, and the instructor for physical fitness and field survival is Liu Tiezhu. Of course, in the evening after training, Yue Weihan will also come to the training camp to teach the officer cadets
They teach command experience in specific combat methods such as jungle warfare, mountain warfare, street fighting, and night fighting.
That evening, as soon as Yue Weihan gave a lecture on street fighting to the officers, Chief of Staff Liu Yi came looking for him with a dark face.
"Chief!" Liu Yi pulled open the buckle on his collar and said with a ferocious expression, "I just got the news that this bastard Hu Zongnan has been in cahoots with the Japanese and has been setting up a trap near Zhongtiao Mountain.
Thousands of tons of grain and cotton will soon be sent to Jiyuan, Henan in exchange for arms from the Japanese."
"What did you say?" Yue Weihan said solemnly, "Hu Zongnan!?"
"Yes, it's Hu Zongnan." Liu Yi said angrily, "How dare this bastard!"
"No, Hu Zongnan probably wouldn't dare to make the decision on such a big matter." Yue Weihan shook his head.
"Hiss..." Liu Yi suddenly took a breath of air and lost his voice, "Mr. Boss, what do you mean..."
Yue Weihan sighed: "This is obviously the order of Chairman Chiang, otherwise he wouldn't dare to take advantage of Hu Zongnan's courage."
At this moment, Yue Weihan's mood couldn't help but become bitter. When the Japanese army launched a massive attack on the frontal battlefield and the Chinese nation faced a life-and-death threat, the entire Chinese people could still share their hatred for the enemy and respond unanimously to the outside world. But once the Japanese army stopped fighting on the frontal battlefield,
The offensive turned the main energy to the occupied areas, and friction between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party inevitably broke out.
Chairman Chiang ordered Hu Zongnan to trade with the Japanese. The fundamental purpose was to deal with the Eighth Route Army in North China.
As a communist, Chairman Chiang's skill of "using Japan to control the Communists" was quite clever. However, from a national standpoint, Chairman Chiang really supported the enemy this time!
