Chapter 461 The big counteroffensive that came early
Chapter 461: The big counterattack arrives in advance
Faced with two consecutive defeats, especially this time, which caused a total loss of 100,000 troops to the empire. In order to avoid being pushed to a military court, this left a big stain on his military improvement. At the same time, he also
In order to preserve the last bit of dignity as a great warrior of the Japanese Empire, Okamura Neiji finally chose to commit suicide in his office and apologize to His Majesty Tengen...
"Ah, Commander, what's wrong with you? Medical Soldier, Medical Soldier, Commander, something happened..." Hearing the sudden movement in Okamura Neji's office, the Deputy Chief of Staff, who had already noticed something was wrong, immediately
He pushed open the door of the office. Immediately, what caught his eyes was the Commander, who was already lying in a pool of blood. At the same time, bright command knives were inserted into the lower abdomen of Commander Okamura Neiji.
.And on the tip of the command knife that had penetrated the commander's lower abdomen, drops of blood were dripping onto the ground. A pool of blood stains had already formed on the ground...
"Your Excellency, Commander, Your Excellency, please wake up..." As the deputy chief of staff called, several medical soldiers quickly rushed into the office and began to examine the unconscious Gang who was lying in a pool of blood.
Murura Neiji's body... However, several medical soldiers showed a look of helplessness on their faces after only a few seconds of inspection.
"Reporting to the Chief of Staff, Your Majesty the Commander has been sacrificed for the sake of the empire. Please express my condolences to Your Majesty the Chief of Staff..." Just when the Deputy Chief of Staff looked at the scene in front of him with a look of disbelief on his face. A medical soldier
He came to the deputy chief of staff and reported in a low voice.
"Baga... How could this happen? No, I want to report it to the Chief of Staff immediately and ask the Chief of Staff to make a decision for us... Hurry, communications staff, send a report to the headquarters in Peiping immediately, asking the Chief of Staff to make a decision immediately.
Quick..." The deputy chief of staff immediately recovered from the shock and ordered loudly to the communications staff officer who hurried behind him...
Soon, a telegram about Commander Okamura Neiji's command error, which led to the annihilation of hundreds of thousands of Imperial Army soldiers, and his final choice to apologize to His Majesty the Emperor, was immediately handed over to the Chief of Staff. See
After finishing the urgent telegram in his hand, the chief of staff at the Peiping headquarters was very shocked at first. However, after the brief shock, a look of panic soon appeared on his face... And the entire North China Garrison Command,
Because of the dissemination of the contents of this telegram, the group fell into chaos without a leader...
Looking at the panic-stricken and overwhelmed commanders at all levels in front of him, the chief of staff knew that at this moment, the entire North China garrison was about to face a life-and-death crisis. As the highest chief of staff of the garrison, he
The supreme commander at this moment must control the troops to prevent the Eighth Route Army troops in North China from taking the opportunity to launch a large-scale counterattack...
"Baga, why are you panicking? As a senior officer of the Great Empire, can't you bear even a little setback? Your Excellency, the Commander, has died in battle for the future of the Great Empire. And we, at this critical moment of life and death,
There must not be chaos. Because the entire North China garrison, hundreds of thousands of troops, need our command. Now I give the order," the chief of staff shouted loudly to the commander who was in chaos in front of him. In front of everyone's eyes
When all eyes were focused on him, the chief of staff opened his mouth and ordered.
"The communications department of the headquarters immediately sent a report to all county strongholds in North China, requiring all units to enter a state of combat readiness to prevent possible counterattacks by the Eighth Route Army... At the same time, the commander's suicide was immediately reported to the General Staff Headquarters and reported to the Emperor.
Your Majesty, please His Majesty the Emperor to immediately appoint the candidate for the supreme commander of the North China Garrison...At the same time, everyone in the headquarters should immediately take up their positions. No one is allowed to leave the headquarters without my order until we receive the latest domestic instructions..."
As a series of orders were issued, everyone who was panicked just now slowly calmed down and began to return to their posts. In the telecommunications room where the order was sent, all the operators at the same time
All radio stations were turned on and began to send the latest orders and telegrams to various county strongholds and domestic staff headquarters...
Immediately, all the Japanese and puppet army strongholds in North China sounded the alarm to enter a state of combat readiness at almost the same time... One after another, the little Japanese troops quickly drove out of their military camps and entered their own combat positions. The entire
In an instant, the North China region was completely in chaos. And a massive all-out counterattack was about to begin in the North China region.
Of course, the unusual movements of the Japanese and puppet troops in various regions of North China were also immediately summarized by various intelligence personnel and handed over to their respective superior agencies... Letters of intelligence on the mobilization of Japanese troops and their entry into combat readiness in the North China region were published in Chapter 1
For a time, it was sent to the Party Central Committee in Yan'an by various departments of the Eighth Route Army...
After receiving the intelligence from various departments of the Eighth Route Army, the chairman immediately notified all the heads of the Military Commission and held an emergency meeting in the war room to discuss the specific reasons why the Japanese army suddenly entered a state of combat readiness. However, for half an hour,
After discussion, this question has still not been solved by everyone.
"Chairman, could it be the *** division?" At this moment, everyone was frowning and thinking about the possible reasons. The commander-in-chief's words suddenly caused everyone to fall into deep thought.
Wake up...
"Yes, why did I forget the *** division... Enlai, you immediately send a telegram to Comrade Luo Ronghuan who is left behind by the *** division to ask about the current battle situation of the *** division. Hurry, we are waiting here*
The nurse's call back..." The chairman suddenly reacted and said quickly to Vice Chairman Zhou beside him...
Less than ten minutes after Vice Chairman Zhou left, the door to the war room was pushed open. With everyone looking forward to it, Vice Chairman Zhou walked in with excitement on his face: "Chairman, boss, great victory.
What a great victory... The 2nd and 3rd military divisions of the *** Division, after three days of fighting, almost wiped out all the 150,000 Japanese and puppet troops preparing to attack Shanxi... I can't believe that a total of 130,000 people were killed like this.
The 60,000-strong army of the ** Division was wiped out."
"What, how is it possible to destroy the 130,000 Japanese army? Show me quickly..." At this moment, in the entire war room, after listening to Vice Chairman Zhou's words, almost no one could calm down. Just under Vice Chairman Zhou
Before the chairman could react, the chairman grabbed the telegram in his hand and began to read it carefully. In less than half a minute, a look of excitement appeared on the chairman's face.
"Okay, what a Liu Hua... The 60,000-strong army completely wiped out the 130,000-strong Japanese and puppet army. This is the first time our army has defeated a large number with less since the War of Resistance... I can't believe it, I can't believe this is true.
…I now finally know why the Japanese army suddenly entered a state of combat readiness. It must be that they learned that their 150,000-strong army was defeated and were afraid that our army would take advantage of their lack of troops to launch a large-scale counterattack..." After reading it in my hand
The chairman's eyes almost narrowed due to excitement, and he couldn't help but said happily...
"Haha... 130,000 Japanese puppet troops, three field divisions... This time the little devil lost his wife and lost his troops... A total of 130,000 troops were lost in one fell swoop. Let me see what else the little devil can get, continue to give
I am arrogant... Chairman, I suggest that all departments of the Eighth Route Army launch a counterattack immediately. Since the *** division has created such good conditions for us, we must not let go of this opportunity... Chairman, Enlai, what do you think?" Commander-in-Chief
He said with excitement.
"Well, I think it is possible. On the other hand, it can also indirectly support Liu Hua's strategic plan to seize Tianjin. However, although the Japanese army has suffered heavy losses, various county strongholds have entered a state of combat readiness, and our army lacks artillery for attacking
, if the troops are allowed to carry out a strong attack, each troop will definitely pay a very heavy price..." The chairman nodded, but another question immediately appeared in his mind...
"Chairman, you seem to have forgotten one unit. Now that the Japanese army of 150,000 has been eliminated, the Japanese division's 60,000 troops are on standby for rest and recuperation in Baoding and Shanyin? And these two troops, according to reports
As far as I know, there are nearly a hundred heavy artillery pieces in each military division, as well as nearly a hundred other artillery pieces of various calibers. In addition to the heavy weapons of the three Japanese field divisions in this exchange, we also have
Are you worried that we don’t have artifact weapons? If we have the support of these heavy weapons, I can guarantee that there will be absolutely no problem in taking over the county strongholds in North China..." Vice Chairman Zhou reminded him in time.
Just when the chairman was about to speak, the communications officer of the General Staff Office of the Military Commission unexpectedly opened the door and rushed into the heavily guarded war room: "Chairman, Vice Chairman Zhou, Commander-in-Chief, Urgent Telegram, *** Division
urgent telegram…"
"Well? The *** division is calling urgently. Did something happen to the *** division..." The three people frowned at the same time and looked at the communications staff officer in front of them...
"No, it's good news... The political commissar of the *** Division Luo Ronghuan sent a telegram. According to the telegram just received by the surrender army on the battlefield, the Japanese army suddenly entered a state of alert for the whole army. There is another very important reason, and that is this
At this moment, the North China Garrison Army was leaderless... Okamura Neiji, the commander of the Japanese Army North China Garrison, after learning that his 150,000-strong army was almost completely destroyed, committed suicide by caesarean section in his office at that time..."
The communications staff officer quickly replied.
"What are you talking about? Okamura Neji is dead...You mean Okamura Neji committed suicide in his office..." The chairman asked in disbelief with his eyes wide open, as if he had seen an alien.
road…
"Yes, Chairman. I have repeatedly confirmed the authenticity of the contents of the telegram with Political Commissar Luo. There will definitely be no problems." Seeing the three stunned people in front of him, the communications staff member replied with an affirmative look.
"Okay, okay, okay. I never thought that Neji Okamura, an old devil, would end up dead in his office and commit suicide. That's great..." The chairman couldn't help but smile with a smile on his face.
He said to himself.
"Chairman, now Okamura Neiji is dead. Without the command of Okamura Neiji, the Japanese army in the entire North China region will definitely form a scattered situation, fighting independently. I suggest that all units of our Eighth Route Army immediately take advantage of the situation.
Based on this favorable reality, launch a large-scale counterattack... expand the base area, expand the liberated area, and eliminate all Japanese and puppet troops within the base area..." the commander-in-chief said excitedly.
"Okay, okay...Boss, I will send a message to all units of the Eighth Route Army immediately and order all departments to start gathering immediately upon receiving the telegram to launch a large-scale counterattack against the current Japanese army and eliminate all Japanese and puppet troops within the base area. At the same time,
, ordered the 2nd and 3rd military divisions of the *** Division to bring all heavy weapons and attack immediately to support the Eighth Route Army troops in various places, attack county strongholds, and strive to eliminate all remaining Japanese and puppet troops in North China in one battle..." Chairman
He said with a sure look on his face.
"Yes, Chairman, I will send the report right away... I believe that our decision today will definitely go down in history... and the entire Japanese garrison in North China will be completely wiped out by us in the next time..." General Manager
The commander said with excitement, turned around and rushed out of the war room...
Similarly, Dai Li, who had been criticized many times by Chiang Kai-shek, did not disappoint Chiang Kai-shek this time. Just when Chairman Mao of the Communist Party of China in Yan'an received the telegram, at Chiang Kai-shek's official residence in Chongqing, Chiang Kai-shek also took the telegram that Dai Li had just sent and read it.
Over and over again. And the expressions on the face are indeed very complicated, including excitement, jealousy, hatred, fear...
"This Liu Hua is indeed a talented general. He did not follow common sense and easily wiped out the 130,000 Japanese and puppet troops. Unfortunately, he is not our *** general. Otherwise, I would definitely let him serve as
Commander-in-Chief of the Group Army... Why have so many talented people gone to the CCP... Niang Xipi... Now the strength of the Communist Party can be said to be getting bigger and bigger, and it has reached the point where it can compete with the party-state..."
Looking at the telegram in his hand, Chiang Kai-shek shook his head and said.
"Chairman, shall we immediately hold a reception and announce to the world the achievements of the *** division? After all, this achievement is an unprecedented achievement achieved by our army since the anti-Japanese war..." He Yingqin asked.
road…
"No, we can no longer suffer. The last time we helped the Eighth Route Army in propaganda, not only did it not achieve the results we expected, but it also benefited the Eighth Route Army and gained countless recruits. At the same time, it allowed the Eighth Route Army to achieve such a brilliant record again.
.So, we must not publicize this battle report again. Not only can we not publicize it, but we must suppress it... Tell the news department and inform all newspapers and radio stations controlled by the government that they must not publish this news." Chiang Kai-shek flashed on his forehead.
He felt a trace of haze and refused firmly.
"Yes, the committee is wise. After the meeting is over, I will definitely inform all the information departments controlled by the government..." After hearing Chiang Kai-shek's words, He Yingqin felt that it was inappropriate, but he still replied with a flattering face.
"Well, I respect you. This time, the Eighth Route Army's *** division has achieved such a huge opportunity. Even the entire North China garrison, because of this huge loss, has entered a state of alert, fearing that the Eighth Route Army will take advantage of the situation. So, what do you think of the Eighth Route Army?
What will happen next?" In response to his subordinate's compliment, Chiang Kai-shek could only smile bitterly, nodded, and continued to ask.
"Reporting to the chairman of the committee, I believe that if nothing unexpected happens, the Eighth Route Army will not let go of this favorable opportunity to counterattack and expand their so-called base area... By then, the Japanese and puppet troops in North China will definitely not be the opponent of the Eighth Route Army.
And when the time comes, the entire North China region may become the domain of the Eighth Route Army..." He Yingqin said with certainty...
"Forget it, let the Eighth Route Army make trouble with the little devils in North China. Now their strength is no longer what it used to be. Even if we want to control it, we can't control it. However, no matter what, we cannot let the Eighth Route Army's tentacles extend.
To the south of the Yangtze River. Respectfully, now we have to put our main experience on the New Fourth Army south of the Yangtze River. We must find a way to drive them across the Yangtze River. We must not let the forces of the Communist Party extend to the Yangtze River again.
South of the Yangtze River, it threatens the dominance of the government..." Chiang Kai-shek ordered firmly.
"Yes, Chairman. But, Chairman, if the New Fourth Army does not obey the Central Military Commission's call and resolutely refuses to go north, what should we do? After all, this is the national common front, so we can't just use force to solve it?" He Yingqin
He nodded in agreement and continued to ask.
"If the New Fourth Army in Jiangnan is really so unwilling to listen to greetings, then don't blame us for being rude. In short, at all costs, we must eradicate the Japanese power in Jiangnan at all costs. How about it? I respect you. Is there any
Confidence, complete this mission..." Chiang Kai-shek's eyes showed a hint of sinister murderous intent, and he said with certainty.
"Yes, Chairman, I understand... Please rest assured, Chairman, I will definitely complete the task in my humble position..." He Yingqin could be said to be very clear about the hint in Chairman Chiang Kai-shek's words just now. That is, he would not hesitate to use force.
The Japanese power in Jiangnan must be eradicated. After receiving Chiang Kai-shek's affirmative answer, He Yingqin no longer hesitated and said loudly.
"Very well, Dai Li, your intelligence department must cooperate with Jingzhi at any time to complete this task. Now the Japanese army has no energy to launch a new round of attacks on our country. Therefore, we must temporarily put our energy into
Jiangnan ***. You all go down, I want to rest now..." Chiang Kai-shek nodded and continued to give instructions.
"Yes, Chairman, please rest assured, Chairman, I will definitely live up to your expectations in my humble position. I will uproot the strength of the Jiangnan Communist Party..." Several people replied in unison and quickly exited Chiang Kai-shek's official residence...
