Because he was in a bad mood, Yue Weihan did not stay in Shimen longer. After briefly visiting the frontline soldiers, Yue Weihan, accompanied by Liu Yi, returned to Tumen Fortress overnight.
In the headquarters on the second underground floor, Yue Weihan was discussing the battle situation with Liu Yi.
Liu Yi held the command pole and pointed at the sand table and explained to Yue Weihan: "General seat, intelligence shows that the Japanese 5th Division is heading south along the Ping-Han Railway, and the 10th Division is heading west along the Shiji Highway. It will take up to two days.
, the two divisions will be able to join forces at Shimen, and there is not much time left for us to transfer supplies."
Okamura Neiji really got it right. The 39th Group Army and the Eighth Route Army were indeed not prepared to expand their victory.
It's not that the 39th Group Army and the Eighth Route Army don't want to, but they don't have enough ammunition supplies. The first batch of rockets produced has almost been used up, and the ammunition produced by the Taihang Arsenal that worked overtime has been almost consumed. If this battle continues,
Then the 39th Group Army and the Eighth Route Army should resort to an empty city strategy.
What's more, Yue Weihan's purpose in launching this campaign is nothing more than two. One is to make Okamura Neji suffer a small loss, and the second is to take the opportunity to train troops in actual combat. Now these two purposes have been achieved, and the 39th Group Army and the Eighth Route Army
Everyone has gained a lot of benefits from this battle, so let's take it as soon as possible.
"Let Zhao Xinyi hurry up and organize more transport teams. All the needed materials must be transported back to the base. Not a single screw nail can be left for the little devil." Yue Weihan thought for a while and then said, "In addition, everyone must
After the division withdraws from the base area, it must do a good job of summarizing and solving the problems exposed in this battle through training. In the next one to two years, our group army will not have such large-scale actual combat training opportunities."
"Yeah." Liu Yi nodded, convinced.
Liu Yi thought for a while and then said: "As for the Eighth Route Army, should I explain to them?"
Although the Tumen Mutiny was planned by Yue Weihan, Liu Yi's previous detention of members of the Communist Party was indeed true, and it seemed that Liu Yi should give them an explanation.
"No need to explain." Yue Weihan said, "Give the Eighth Route Army some weapons and ammunition as an apology."
Liu Yi nodded silently. He was also a smart man, and he immediately understood Yue Weihan's attitude. It seemed that the commander-in-chief did not intend to follow the orders of the Military Commission to eliminate members of the Communist Party of China, but this was also in line with Liu Yi's wishes.
, Liu Yi was born in the Northeast Military Department, and he had no good impression of the Communist Party, nor did he have a bad feeling towards the Communist Party. He fully supported Yue Weihan's decision.
As for the previous incident of detaining members of the Communist Party of China, Liu Yi was entirely out of considerations of stabilizing the internal situation of the 39th Group Army, and did not include any communist tendencies or personal emotions.
While he was talking, Colonel Ma Zhankui, the director of operations, walked into the war room with a dark face.
"General seat." Colonel Ma Zhankui stood at attention, paid a military salute to Yue Weihan meticulously, and reported, "Ma Hansan, the director of the Peiping Station of the Military Command Bureau, sent a secret telegram, claiming that Okamura Neji had just given an order to prepare to move the North China Front Army
The headquarters will be moved from Peiping to Shimen, and the headquarters of the Fourth Army will also be moved from Baoding to Zhengding!"
"Huh?" Liu Yi said solemnly, "Ning Okamura is going to move the headquarters to Shimen!?"
Yue Weihan curled his lips and said: "This old devil really has the demeanor of a general."
"General, this is not good news for our 39th Group Army." Liu Yi said in a deep voice, "Okamura Neiji moved the commander of the North China Front Army to Shimen, which is obviously aimed at our 39th Group Army. This means that the North China Front Army
The focus of our operations has shifted, and the Japs are going to attack our Jingxing base area!"
"That's not necessarily true." Yue Weihan waved his hand and said, "However, this old devil Okamura is indeed coming for us."
After saying this, Yue Weihan asked Ma Zhankui again: "Zhankui, will Nanzo Yunzi follow Okamura Neji to Shimen?"
"No." Ma Zhankui said with certainty, "Nanzo Yunzi is still the director of the Japanese secret service stationed in Peiping, and Okamura Neiji gave her three months of leave."
"Is that so?" Yue Weihan couldn't help but frown.
If Minami Yunko can't stay with Okamura Neji, then her role will be greatly reduced.
However, even without the help of Nanzo Yunzi, Yue Weihan was confident of defeating Okamura Neji. It was already early June 1939. In the next three months, Germany would fully invade Poland and the beginning of World War II
It will also officially kick off, and in two and a half years, the United States will also join the world war.
By that time, a large number of Japanese elite troops from the North China battlefield will be transferred to the Pacific battlefield.
Therefore, as long as the 39th Group Army survives this period of time, it will be a smooth road in the future!
This is the advantage of time travellers. Yue Weihan is very clear about the direction of history. Japan will inevitably be defeated and China will definitely win. The only thing Yue Weihan needs to do is to try to improve this process so that the Chinese people will suffer less and make post-war China
Try to get as much profit as possible. Among other things, war reparations are a must, and garrisoning troops in Japan is also a must!
In early June of the 28th year of the Republic of China (1939), with the approval of the Japanese base camp, the commander of the Japanese North China Front Army, General Okamura Neiji, moved the front army headquarters from Peiping to Shimen to show that he would resolutely eliminate the Chinese 39th Group Army and completely suppress it.
Determination of the public security situation in North China, from then on, a two-year-long desperate battle began between Yue Weihan and Okamura Neji!
In the blink of an eye, it has been two months since Okamura Neiji moved his headquarters to Shimen.
Time has quietly arrived in early August of the twenty-eighth year of the Republic of China (1939). At this time, Europe was already covered with war clouds, and the ambitions of the German Third Reich were already obvious. However, Britain and France still
Burying his head in the sand like an ostrich, he selectively turned a blind eye to Hitler's growing ambitions.
At this time, the Konoe Fumima cabinet was busy repairing the national economy that was on the verge of collapse.
In the past two years, in order to support the large-scale war against China, the national and financial resources of the Japanese government have been exhausted, and the national economy has been on the verge of collapse. At least for two years, it will be impossible for the Japanese government to launch another large-scale war against China.
The offensive began, but the Japanese army never stopped fighting to maintain public security in the occupied areas.
Especially Okamura Neiji in North China, his "soft" policy has achieved great results!
After consolidating the rule of the security areas through the "gentle" policy, Okamura Ningji turned his target to the quasi-security areas, which were the guerrilla areas of the Communist Party and the Eighth Route Army guerrillas. However, at this time, most of the ***
The guerrillas have openly surrendered and turned into puppet troops, leaving only the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army still fighting alone.
The strategy used by Okamura Neiji to deal with the quasi-security zone (guerrilla zone) is slightly different from that of the security zone. The strategy of the security zone is "tolerance", while the strategy of the quasi-security zone is "cannibalization", that is, through bunker tactics, the strategy of
Attack by foot, gradually encroaching on the Eighth Route Army's guerrilla zones, and eventually pushing the front to the outskirts of the Eighth Route Army's base area.
The key area of Okamura Neiji's "cannibalization" policy is southern Hebei!
In the past two months, Okamura Neiji has recruited hundreds of thousands of civilians through the "relief for work" method, and has almost completely repaired the Pinghan-Hankou Railway that was previously attacked by the Eighth Route Army, and rebuilt the railway along the
The strongholds, gun towers, trench defense system, rebuilt gun towers and bunkers, all have wall thickness reinforced to more than one meter!
Although the Eighth Route Army has been equipped with a small number of 90 rocket launchers manufactured by the Taihang Arsenal, unfortunately, the rockets fired by the 90 rocket launchers are no longer enough to pose a threat to the Japanese army's reinforced strongholds and gun towers. However, the little devil's tanks and armored vehicles are
I have become completely useless, and I don’t even dare to go out in public anymore.
However, the secret of the bazooka was eventually inevitably exposed.
The western suburbs of Shimen, the headquarters of the Japanese North China Front.
Major General Hirata hurriedly walked into Okamura Neji's office, immediately put his feet back and stood at attention and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, the weapons expert Mr. Murata has returned."
"Oh?" Okamura Neji said happily, "Please ask Mr. Murata to come in."
"Hai." Masaru Hirata lowered his head suddenly and immediately left with his saber in hand.
In less than a moment, Masaru Hirata walked in with another senior officer.
That officer was none other than Taro Murata, a weapons expert who had just been sent from the Japanese base camp from China. Taro Murata took two steps forward and then suddenly stopped his feet and stood at attention. He greeted Neji Okamura and said, "Your Excellency, Commander."
Okamura Neiji waved his hand and asked harmoniously: "Murata-kun, have you got any results from your research?"
"Hai." Colonel Murata lowered his head suddenly and said, "Your Excellency, Commander, in the past two months, I have witnessed the China Army using new weapons on the front line more than a dozen times. Now I can basically confirm that the so-called new weapons of the China Army are not
What kind of large-caliber combat artillery is not a cannon, but a variant of a rocket launcher!"
"A variant of the rocket launcher!?" Okamura Neji couldn't help but frown.
Rocket launchers have actually appeared for a long time, and the Japanese army also has equipment, but in small quantities. However, rocket launchers are all vehicle-mounted multiple rocket launchers, which have extremely high requirements for logistical support. The 39th Group Army and the Eighth Route Army obviously do not have such logistical support capabilities.
Therefore, Okamura Neji was very suspicious of Murata's conclusion.
Colonel Murata did not hesitate because of Neji Okamura's doubts, and continued: "Your Excellency, Commander, the rocket launchers used by the Chinese Army are fundamentally different from the rocket launchers equipped by the Imperial Army. The Imperial Army's rocket launchers are vehicle-mounted multi-barreled rocket launchers.
Heavy rockets, but the China Army uses man-portable single-barreled rocket launchers!"
"Well, a man-portable single-barreled rocket launcher!?" Neji Okamura suddenly realized.
As mentioned before, the rocket launcher was developed based on the rocket launcher and did not have too complicated technology. Therefore, Murata Master only witnessed a few launches of the rocket launcher and mastered all the secrets. Although Okamura Neiji is not a weapons expert
, but when Colonel Murata said this, he understood immediately.
At that moment, Neji Okamura asked eagerly: "Murata-kun, can the empire produce mass production?"
"Of course." Colonel Murata said without hesitation, "With the empire's industrial manufacturing capabilities, tens of thousands of rocket launchers can be produced in a short period of time to equip the troops. However, this should be an excellent individual anti-tank weapon.
It poses no threat to the China Army with backward equipment, but it is very powerful when used against the Soviet tank group."
