"Miss Yunzi?" Okamura Neiji asked, "What did Miss Yunzi say?"
The special agent of the Special High School suddenly lowered his head and replied: "Your Excellency, Commander, Miss Yunzi said that Jingxing County is very chaotic now. The 39th Group Army seems to have been divided into three factions. The Tumen Fortress Guard Brigade is a mutiny faction, and the Baoshan Division
, the New 6th Division, the New 9th Division, the Cavalry Brigade, the Artillery Brigade, and the Taihang Guard Brigade belong to the Baoyue Faction. The 181st Division is temporarily neutral, but has released a cordon to the Baoyue Faction and the Mutiny Faction at the same time. The atmosphere of hostility is very strong."
"Really, since Miss Yunzi said so, it seems that something happened to the 39th Army." Okamura Neiji nodded, and then asked the communications staff officer, "Kondo-kun, the information provided by the Fourth Army's forward observation post
Is the intelligence reliable? Could the 39th Group Army be acting? What they used on the battlefield were not live ammunition, but only blank ammunition?"
"This..." the communications staff member shook his head and smiled bitterly, "The Fourth Army did not explain clearly."
Okamura Neiji snorted coldly, and then said to Kato Keiroku, the superintendent of the special high school section, "Kato-kun, immediately send a report to Miss Yunzi and ask her to find out the truth about the Tumon mutiny as soon as possible, especially the Tumen rebellion that broke out today.
Is the Battle of Gate true? Are the Chinese soldiers who fell in front of the bunker of Tumen Fortress really dead?"
Before Kato Keiroku could agree, the agent loudly replied: "Your Excellency, Commander, I'm afraid this is no longer possible."
After saying this, the agent added: "Miss Yunzi also said in the telegram that various factions of the 39th Group Army unanimously imposed martial law on the entire defense area. Everyone was told to stay in the house and went up without permission.
Anyone found on the street will be killed without mercy. Although Miss Yunzi’s identity is secret, it is difficult for her to go out openly."
"Well, martial law?" Okamura Neji was already somewhat convinced, but now he began to waver.
If the 39th Group Army has really been overthrown, if the Hogo faction and the mutiny faction have really started fighting, then it is actually normal for each faction to impose martial law. But Okamura Neji always feels that there is something wrong with this. Could this be
What are the factions of the 39th Army deliberately hiding? Will there really be any problems in today's Battle of Tumen?
While Okamura Neiji was pondering, the Communications Office received a new telegram.
After reading the telegram just transcribed by the Communications Office, Tanabe Moritake immediately turned to the silent Okamura Neiji and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, the army's secret service station in Shimen reported that the main eight regiments of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army in central Hebei and the Hebei
More than twenty regiments from Nantuba Road have completed their assembly and are approaching the Pinghan-Hankou Railway!"
Okamura Neji's expression suddenly changed slightly, and he strode to the huge map hanging on the wall.
Several combat staff officers were working on the emergency map. In less than a moment, the latest battlefield situation was marked on the huge military terrain map. Major General Hirata Shogun, the deputy chief of staff, picked up the command pole and introduced to Neji Okamura.
Said: "Commander, please see, the main force of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army is currently resting in the non-public security areas of counties in central Hebei. They are the same as the Tubal Road in southern Hebei. If they want to reinforce the Tumen Fortress, they must first cross the Imperial
The Ping-Han Railway guarded by the army!"
"Your Excellency, Commander, let Tuba Road go by, or intercept them?" Tanabe Moritake asked.
To give way or not to give way is a difficult question, and it is also the main proposition that Okamura Neji weighs repeatedly.
Failure to give way may lead to the rapid defeat of the mutiny faction, and the Japanese army may lose the God-given opportunity to reap profits.
But if we give way to the main road, we will take a big risk. If the Eighth Route Army's reinforcement of Tumen is false and the attack on the Ping-Han Railway is true, then once the Japanese army gives way to the main road, they will suffer heavy losses.
If this strategic support line of the Han Railway is seriously attacked, it will seriously affect the implementation of the "cannibalization" policy in southern Hebei.
Okamura Neiji pondered for a moment, and finally made a decision: "Get out of the way and let them pass!"
After saying this, Okamura Neiji said to Tanabe Moritake: "Order, the 5th, 10th, 18th, and 20th Divisions, the 5th Field Heavy Artillery Brigade, the 1st, 3rd, and 3rd Bombers of the Front Aviation Regiment.
The vacations of all officers and soldiers of the 5th and 7th Brigades will be cancelled. All units must complete their assembly within two days and complete combat readiness within five days!"
Tanabe Moritake and Hirata Shogun suddenly took a breath of air-conditioning. Your Excellency, Commander, is so generous!
The four major divisions directly under the North China Front and the only field heavy artillery 5th Brigade came out in full force. This time Okamura Neiji was going to show off his specialty, implementing large-scale long-distance maneuvers to covertly engage the enemy. This set of tactics
This tactic has caused the Eighth Route Army to suffer a lot in history, but I don’t know if Yue Weihan, a time traveler, can crack it.
"Tanabe-kun, Hirata-kun, do you still remember what I just told you? Maybe you don't have to wait until next year to completely eliminate the 39th Army!" Neji Okamura said with a smile, "If the 39th Army really happens this time
If there is a mutiny, the imperial army can certainly reap the benefits, but if this is just a trap, then the imperial army will definitely give Yue Weihan a big surprise!"
…………
At the northern foot of Taihang Mountain, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.
Chief of Staff Zuo rushed into the war room gasping for breath and said angrily: "It's a fight, boss. A fight between this stupid boy Li Qinglong and this stupid big black guy Chi Chengfeng!"
Speaking of which, Chief of Staff Zuo is one of the few elites in the party who has attended the Whampoa Military Academy. Like Commander Liu, he also studied at the Frunze Military Academy of the Soviet Union. He is not only an outstanding strategist, but also knowledgeable and has a great temper.
, is Mr. Peng’s most trusted right-hand man, but now, even Chief of Staff Zuo, a good old man, is a little anxious.
"What, there's a fight!" Boss Peng said angrily, "Who gave the order for Li Qinglong to open fire?"
This is really one wave after another. The murder of Mr. Liu and others has not yet been settled, but something happened here again.
"It's not just Li Qinglong?" Chief of Staff Zuo said with a bitter smile, "The eight main regiments of the 129th Division and the more than forty main regiments of the Southern Hebei Military Region have already approached the Ping-Han Railway. They have threatened to reinforce Tumen Fortress.
If the Japanese army doesn’t let them go, they will use their horses and chariots to attack the stronghold gun towers along the railway!”
"You rebelled against them!" Boss Peng said angrily, "Who gave the order for them to act without authorization?"
After saying this, Boss Peng said with murderous intent: "Check, investigate thoroughly immediately, I want to see who is responsible for this?"
"Boss, now is not the time to hold people accountable!" Chief of Staff Zuo said with a wry smile, "Let's think about how to recover. The Party Central Committee and Chairman Mao have repeatedly issued orders not to let the situation escalate further. But now, the situation has not only expanded, but it has also
There is a tendency to completely lose control. If the Eighth Route Army really merges with the 39th Group, the only ones who will benefit will be the little devils!"
"Hey, you think it's weird." Mr. Peng has been in the military for many years and has seen countless ups and downs. Although he has a hot temper, he is actually very shrewd. He soon discovered the suspicion and said to Chief of Staff Zuo, "Old Zuo.
, Madman Wang, Yue Weiguo and the others seemed to have suddenly become so bold that they didn’t even listen to the orders from the headquarters?”
"Yes." Chief of Staff Zuo suddenly said, "Boss, what you said is really weird."
The Communist Party has always had strict control over the troops. Party branches have been established in companies. Therefore, the paternalism prevalent in the Communist ranks basically does not exist within the Eighth Route Army. Commanders at all levels of the Eighth Route Army may be arrogant by nature.
But it is almost impossible for them to openly disobey the headquarters' orders.
Mr. Peng and Chief of Staff Zuo had been troubled by a series of huge changes before, so they ignored this fact.
But now that they calmed down, the two people immediately discovered something suspicious. Why did the troops of the 129th Division and the Southern Hebei Military Region suddenly become disobedient? The headquarters agency continuously sent orders to the 385th Brigade, the 386th Brigade, and the Southern Hebei Military Region.
The headquarters sent several telegrams with repeated orders, telling them not to act rashly.
"Is there any fraud involved?" Mr. Peng suddenly said.
"You mean..." Chief of Staff Zuo said horrified, "Yue Weihan is singing a one-man show?"
"Hahaha, Lao Zuo, I really let you talk, Yue Weihan is really singing a one-man show!" Chief of Staff Zuo finished his words, and a hearty laughter suddenly sounded from the war room. Boss Peng and Chief of Staff Zuo heard
She turned around and saw that Commander Liu of the 129th Division, Deputy Commander Xu and Brigadier Chen of the 386th Brigade had already entered.
"Lao Liu, Lao Xu, Chen Geng!" Chief of Staff Zuo said happily, "I knew you would be fine."
"Wait a minute, Lao Liu, what did you just say?" Boss Peng said impatiently, "Is Yue Weihan really singing?"
"Who says it's not?" Commander Liu shook his head and said with a wry smile, "I just learned the truth from Comrade Ma Zhankui. Yue Weihan really had a good plan this time. He resorted to a mutiny and ended up letting the enemy, me, and the stubborn puppet all.
The forces are surrounding him, and I heard that Chairman Chiang Kai-shek in Chongqing has not slept for two days and two nights in a row, and is just waiting for the result by the telegraph machine."
"But what is going on?" Boss Peng asked more and more eagerly, "Who does Yue Weihan want to make money from?"
"Who else could it be?" Mr. Liu smiled and said, "Of course it is Okamura Neji who has made a profit. If nothing else happens, Okamura Neji will probably suffer a big loss this time. If nothing else, Okamura is okay.
The strategic support line of the Ping-Han Railway, which was easily rebuilt, cannot be saved, and the 28th Division stationed in Shimen may also be destroyed."
"Oh my god, the 28th Division!?" Boss Peng said in shock, "Yue Weihan has such a big appetite!"
"But it's hard to say what the outcome will be." Master Liu said, "Now it depends on whether Okamura Neji can withstand the temptation. If he can't withstand the temptation and orders the Japanese army to give way to the Ping-Han Railway, then the little devil will
We are in big trouble, and if Okamura Neji is not tempted, then Yue Weihan probably won't get any benefits."
