Koiso Kuniaki was ordered from Wuhan, but before he could reach Tianjin, he received this clearly coded telegram news. He was so frightened that he was so scared. How could Jiang Qiang be so well-informed? "Is the reason why Jiang Qiang won the battle due to intelligence leaks?
"Koiso Kuniaki was so frightened that he did not dare to go to Tianjin on the spot. Tianjin is too close to Wuling Mountain. After going there, he might end up like Touichi Terauchi.
But this was an order from the military headquarters, and it was impossible not to go. Koiso Kuniaki secretly complained that it was really not the right time for Juichi Terauchi to die. The Japanese military base camp far away in Japan also quickly received this clear message, although there was no photo.
, but the black and white words also surprised the Japanese base camp. Jiang Qiang was so well-informed about the news, and Koiso Kuniaki was appointed.
It had only been half a day since the commander of the North China Expedition Army had been informed of the incident, and no one else knew how Jiang Qiang knew about it. "Could it be that he was a communications corpsman from the empire's base camp?" The Japanese had to doubt that there was no other possibility.
That's it. "Baga, arrest all the communication soldiers in the base camp immediately, torture them severely, and be sure to ask who sent the intelligence to Jiang Qiang." Of course Jiang Qiang didn't know that the Japanese army base camp was already in a mess at this time.
He invented the coded telegraph just to scare the Japanese. At this time, the Japanese in North China knew that Shouichi Temple was killed by Qin Siyu, one of Jiang Qiang's subordinates, and they were all eager to fight with hatred.
, they had no choice but to immediately go to the Jiaodong Peninsula to find Jiang Qiang to settle accounts, but as soon as they left the city gate, they saw wooden boards all over the ground, like tombs prepared for them. This mine was so powerful that the Japanese wanted to go out in several counties.
The engineers sent by the Japanese were all shot dead from a long distance, which made the Japanese very angry. When they were about to use cannons to bomb the mines, they received an order not to provoke Qin Siyu in a short period of time.
The Japanese had no choice but to be a tortoise, standing on the distant city wall and quietly watching Qin Siyu's harvester scurrying back and forth in the distance, and thousands of grains were transported back to Yunwu Mountain. At the same time, north of Xinzhou,
The Eighth Route Army in the area was a little different from Qin Siyu. They relied on hundreds of thousands of ordinary people and harvesters to harvest grain. At the same time, they mobilized militia and guerrillas to fight tenaciously against the Japs. The Japs were blasted by land mines and cried for their fathers. In the end, they had to
He also returned to the city in embarrassment. At this time, the Japanese troops in North China were obviously insufficient, mainly because they were eliminated by Qin Siyu one after another, so the whole situation was somewhat passive.
"Hey, how did you know that Koiso Kuniaki will come to Tianjin to take office soon?" Kitajima Yuko asked after taking a sip of water. Qin Siyu said, "Brother Jiang told me the following situation when he was here" and smiled. Koiso
Guozhao was finally tried and sentenced to life imprisonment and died miserably in prison. Of course Jiang Qiang would not let these war criminals live until that time. He could not kill them or scare them to death. Jiang Qiang had already become cruel when he saw the intelligence sent by Jinan in Zhaoyuan.
"When these idiots come to take office, I have to give them a big gift." Qin Siyu continued. "What else did you think of?" Kitajima Yuko asked. "Have you forgotten our military song? The battle of decapitation.
Military Song, if the Japanese don’t provoke us, they will provoke the Eighth Route Army. I don’t know when the Battle of Nanchang will break out. There is no news from Xia Qing, so I have to take the initiative." Qin Siyu said.
"Will we participate in the Battle of Nanchang?" Kitajima Yuko asked. "We won't participate, but the Eighth Route Army will. This time they were ordered to go south, and we will hide in the north to develop. After the Battle of Nanchang, our base area may encounter the enemy's focus.
Take care, but we still say the same thing, come and die." Qin Siyu said. The two of them did not know that the Japanese commander Yan Junliu, who originally returned to the temple to command the North China Front Army and the Central China Front Army, was involved in the entire Nanchang Battle at this time.
All command rights were given to Yan Junroku, while Matsui Iwane of the Southern Expeditionary Force personally commanded the Japanese soldiers in the south. The entire front moved from north to south, forming a pincer situation. The Chinese theater was commanded by patriotic general Li Zongren. The fifth theater mobilized 64 divisions and another
Three brigades of about 600,000 people concentrated their main force in the area north of Nanchang to fight against the Japanese invasion from the north. One force was deployed in the southern section of the Jinpu Railway to prevent the Japanese from the south from advancing northward to ensure Nanchang. "I think since the enemy
We have been given time to collect grain, then we will collect grain properly. If the Kwantung Army is forced to go to North China to clean up the mess, won't we be in vain at this time? We only have five or six days to collect grain. When the harvest is finished, we will
It's not too late to go to various counties and behead Japanese officers." Kitajima Yuko said.
At this time, Wu Xingkui, Tao Hui, Liu Guofang, Wang Tianfu and other four columns were staring at the four counties of the Japs respectively. They found that after sniping and killing several Japs engineers, the Japs were silent.
He said that the Japanese are not afraid of death, but they are really afraid of death." Wu Xingkui looked at the 95 assault rifle in his hand, and he saw that there was no fight yet? The little Japanese did not leave the city, and Commander Qin Jie did not give them an order to attack the city.
, now each.
There are not many Japs in the county town. If they are allowed to attack the city, there will be no problem in taking over the county town in front of them. "Forget it, do you want us to develop?" The Japs from Yixian County, Hebei Province did not move out either. Wang Tianfu and others
Lying on the ground, with his buttocks hot from the sun, the Japanese closed the city gate tightly, and the people who came out with sickles immediately stopped.
, the grain they harvested had to be transported back together with the wheat straw, which was too troublesome, and the harvester was still nimble. In one night and one day, more than 10,000 acres of land on Qin Siyu's side were harvested. The devils didn't care, and they couldn't rest.
Continue to harvest at night, is the war still going on? I'm afraid of starving.
"Speed up the wheat harvest. We have to compete with the Japs for time. The Japs want to engage in the Nanchang Battle. Let's stab the Japs in North China." In the evening, Qin Siyu asked Kitajima Yuko to issue a letter to all the troops.
One sentence.
Upon hearing this, several grain harvesting groups realized that after harvesting the grain, there would be combat missions, so they had to speed up the harvest. During the harvest, in addition to Wang Tianfu, Wu Xingkui, Tao Hui, and Liu Guofang were not idle and began to register for the army.
Many people drove carriages to transport grain, and they registered them under their own names. Many repeated registrations were made. By the next morning, there were more than 4,000 people in each of the three columns.
After harvesting the grain, he has a heavy task and is responsible for training.
, and the garrison work in Zhangjiakou. Wang Tianfu was a little depressed. Their column captured Zhangjiakou, and with the help of the surrounding people to collect grain, each column increased to more than 4,000 people. This was more than them.
"This requires a change of strategy. Qingchuan, let me tell you, you are the first division commander of our fourth column. From now on, our column will be the Anti-Japanese Landing Column, and the people you lead will be called the Anti-Japanese Landing Division." Wang Tianfu thought for a while.
said.
"Ah, can I do this?" Qingchuan was originally a squad leader of the Japs. He didn't understand what a column meant. He suddenly became a division commander with only a thousand people under him. "What can I do? I don't know how to employ people.
I'm suspicious, but don't play any tricks on me." After Wang Tianfu said that, he called Qingchuan to lead a group of Japanese prisoners of war to pull him away.
These common people all hated the Japs. When they saw Wang Tianfu coming up with a few Japs captured soldiers to pull people away, they all looked angry and said they would not follow Wang Tianfu. "We are also fighting the Japs, but we are wearing Japs clothes." Wang
Tianfu lied. "You look like a Jaap at first glance. He is so tall." What did the common people know? They could tell at a glance that several Japs led by Wang Tianfu had captured soldiers.
"Damn it, I'll bring some tall guys next time." Wang Tianfu said to himself in a loud voice, which made a group of angry people happy. "We are also the Asian Liberation Army." Several Japanese soldiers quit.
During this time, they received anti-war education and began to seriously follow Jiang Qiang and others to fight against the Japanese.
"We resist the Japanese regardless of factions, old or young, regions, or countries. There are no good Japanese, but after education, they are the ones who become good." Wang Tianfu continued. "We are the anti-Japanese landing column.
, When the time comes to launch the invasion of Japan, we will be the first to do so." After Wang Tianfu finished speaking, he saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he continued to shout loudly.
"Anti-Japanese invasion division?" When the common people heard this word, they were interested. This little devil landed in China and attacked his hometown in China. Why can't he attack their homeland in the future? "How about it? This task is arduous. For ordinary people,
I don’t want it yet, so why don’t you drag me away?” When Wang Tianfu saw someone coming, he immediately grabbed him.
"It's just, look at you, you're too thin. When the war comes, you won't even be able to hold a gun." Several Japanese soldiers followed Wang Tianfu to cooperate. "Hey, you're too thin. The Japanese will steal your food. When the war comes,
, I got fat from eating so much food, and I can’t get fat even after eating so much food." The man who was ridiculed said. With such a tug, more people started to appear, and soon a crowd of people came and surrounded the king.
Tianfu's side.
"Qingchuan, you guys go over there to publicize." Wang Tianfu saw more and more people coming, and immediately said to two of the Japanese soldiers, "The Anti-Japanese Landing Division has signed up." "You two, hurry up.
Take the notebook and register your name." After Wang Tianfu finished speaking, he hurriedly said to the remaining captured Japanese soldiers. Several captured Japanese soldiers took out the notebook and were stunned. They couldn't write Chinese characters. Wang Tianfu quickly grabbed it as soon as he saw it.
In the notebook, he directly asked a few Japanese captured soldiers to start reading the names, and he registered them next to him. He got more than 3,000 names in one afternoon. "That's almost it. We have more than 5,000 people." Wang Tianfu didn't mind that there were few people.
But many children and old men also wanted to come over to fight the Japanese, but he rejected them all. They were not as tall as a gun, or they were over 50 years old, and 40 years old was fine, but women were not allowed.
Tao Hui, Wu Xingkui, and Liu Guofang soon heard about it, and Wang Tianfu also began to recruit people. He even gave his column an awesome name, called the Anti-Japanese Landing Column. "Alas, this cannot be done to Wang.
Tianfu has surpassed us, so our column is called the Sun-Zhuan Landing Column." Wu Xingkui said. "Captain of the column, I can kill the Sun, but the landing column at the back is a bit repetitive, and I'm afraid it won't be able to match others in terms of momentum?" A soldier said to Wu Xingkui.
"Then what do you call it?" Wu Xingkui asked the soldier after hearing this. "Japan-killing advance column." The soldier said. "It doesn't have the word "landing" in it, no?" Wu Xingkui was still dissatisfied. "Tokyo Liberation Advance Column."
Column." Another soldier said next to him.
"Hey, this name works." Wu Xingkui shouted after hearing this, and soon called all the soldiers over. After harvesting the grain, they would call it this name. At the same time, Tao Hui sent someone to inquire quietly.
After the names of these two guys, they immediately gave themselves a longer name: The Mighty, Domineering and Invincible Independent Column that landed on Zhuriji Island.
"Captain of the Column, this name is a bit too long." After hearing this, a soldier felt that it was a bit too long and the pronunciation was convoluted. "It's not long, but it's easy to remember when it's long." Tao Hui disagreed, saying that his names were better than those of Wang Tianfu and Wu Xing.
Kui is a little longer.
"Go and tell me what name that bastard Liu Guofang should give later." Tao Hui then said to a soldier. Liu Guofang was not in a hurry and waited for them all to come up with names before he started to think about it. "It's a nice name."
They've already done it, what can we do?" Many people here are uneducated and have few words to think of. After hearing the names of the three columns, they anxiously said to Liu Guofang.
"Are you in such a hurry?" Liu Guofang said, "No way, let's ask Brigadier Qin, hey, let him help us think of a name." "Ah, that's not possible, let's ask Miss Kitajima Yuko to get it." Yes.
The soldiers felt that Kitajima Yuko had a lot of clever ideas, so they could just ask Kitajima Yuko to pick a name.
So a group of people quickly found Kitajima Yuko. Kitajima Yuko was with Chen Mingzhu. When they heard that Liu Guofang asked them to name the column, they ran over together. "Two ladies, they named them
They are the Anti-Japanese Landing Column, the Advance Column for the Liberation of Tokyo, and the Mighty and Domineering Independent Column for Landing to Kill the Sun and Destroy the Island. My name must surpass them." Liu Guofang said immediately when he saw the two beauties.
"Who came up with the last name? It's so long, and it's so powerful and invincible that it landed on the Sun-Destroying Island, the mighty and invincible independent column." Kitajima Yuko and Chen Mingzhu both laughed after hearing this.
"It's a pretty good name. It's the uneducated Tao Hui who gave it to me." Liu Guofang said. "This name is pretty cool. It's so complicated. What should we name the devil the most?" said Kitajima Yu.
Zi couldn't think of a name for a while, so he couldn't help but say something after hearing it.
"What the Japanese are most afraid of is our commander-in-chief Jiang Qiang." Liu Guofang said after hearing this. "And our new weapons, black technology." Chen Mingzhu continued. "Black technology, black technology, etc., hey,
Yes, yes." Liu Guofang jumped up immediately after hearing this, "The name of my third column is: I am the vanguard of Jiang Qiang's black technology to kill Japan."
"Ah." Chen Mingzhu and Kitajima Yuko were confused after hearing this. "Oh, this is the name. It sounds better than their names, and it has a sense of fashion. The little devils probably can't figure out what this black technology is.
." Liu Guofang thinks this name is good. When a kid hears the word "Jiang Qiang", he will probably be scared to death. Then when he hears the word "Jiang Qiang", he will fall directly into the abyss. Why don't you just wait to die?
Before the imperial meeting even started, the Japanese army generals and Japanese navy generals started glaring at each other, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.
If Emperor Hirohito hadn't been sitting on it, the two groups might have fought each other on the spot. But soon, these people stopped staring at each other. Because at this time, the Prime Minister, who was regarded as a thorn in the side of the Japanese military,
Konoe Fumimaro also walked into the conference room. This man was almost a mortal enemy in the eyes of the military, and was a sharp blade used by Emperor Hirohito to restrain the military.
Konoe Fumimaro walked into the conference room with a serious face, bowed to Emperor Hirohito behind the curtain, and then sat at the end of the long table, waiting for the meeting to begin.
After closing the curtain, Emperor Hirohito looked extremely unhappy. Because of the defeat in this battle, the war against China was completely paralyzed. Even the extremely important Tianjin and Qingdao were lost and became pawns in the hands of that damn Jiang Qiang.
This is simply throwing away all the results of the hugely expensive Battle of Xuzhou! "Let's begin." With a low-pressure voice, the imperial meeting began.
Koshimano was the first to make a self-examination: "Your Majesty, since I became the Minister of War, I have been rectifying the combat situation of the Army all the time. However, I have not seen any results, and then another war ushered in. The Imperial Army was not fully prepared and fought with
The careerist Jiang Qiang fought against each other. This defeat is really the responsibility of the minister, and I will never atone for my sins even if I die!" Emperor Hirohito did not speak, but looked at Konoe Fumimaro.
Konoe Fumimaro understood the idea and immediately said: "The Army has not made adequate preparations? What a big joke. Hasn't the Army already expanded its army and prepared for war in accordance with the recommendations of the General Staff Headquarters? The Ministry of Finance has allocated countless funds to the Military Department for you to recruit from the outside world.
Countless weapons and equipment have been purchased for you to carry out drastic arms construction, but what about you? Can you only repay His Majesty with defeats like this again and again?"
Kojima Nojiro lowered his head. It was Konoe Fumimaro who supported him at first, and he was kind to him. But now it seems that this benefactor may just use him as a pawn to deal with the old army general. Now,
I will also face his blow.
Kojima Nojiro lowered his head and said: "Although the Ministry of Finance allocated a certain amount of money to the Army, we encountered conspiracies from American companies in the process of purchasing weapons and equipment from the outside world, and a large number of targets were missing. Currently, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
We have put pressure on the United States, but the Americans are indifferent to our pressure and don't care..."
Konoe Fumimaro immediately said: "Don't shirk responsibility! Now the army is actively provoking the battle, not passively encountering the battle! It was you who took the initiative and fought two huge defeats in the Far East and East China. Your Excellency, Minister of the Army, I hope you can
Explain the specific processes of the two battles in front of His Majesty the Emperor and give a reasonable explanation!"
Kojima Nojiro said respectfully: "Hi!" Then, Kojima Nojiro began to explain the whole process of the Nomonkan Battle and the Qingdao Battle in a precise manner. He was indeed a competent Minister of the Army, and all battle actions were recorded.
In his mind, he explained the two defeats in an orderly manner, conducting a battle deduction course comparable to that of a military school teacher.
Emperor Hirohito frowned from time to time. He also knew a lot about military affairs. After all, his teachers were General Nogi Nogi Nogi, who was known as the God of the Japanese Army, and General Togo Heihachiro who won the Russo-Japanese naval battle.
Therefore, the requirements for him to understand the specific processes of these two battles are not high. But the more he understands, the more he can feel the despair coming from these two battles. Post-war review
They are all so frightening. I am afraid that the frontline battle situation will be even more terrifying!
After hearing the end, Kojima Nojiro bowed again: "I have betrayed the trust of His Majesty the Emperor, which is a loss of trust and an insult to the dignity of the Empire. I hope Your Majesty will punish you severely!" Emperor Hirohito was extremely serious and remained silent. Japanese army generals and navy generals
He lowered his head and endured the unsettling silence.
After a long time, Emperor Hirohito slowly spoke: "Gentlemen, I once traveled to Europe as the Crown Prince. At that time, the more I saw the prosperity and industrial development of Europe, the more worried I became about the future of Asia.
, The development of Western civilization has reached its peak, but at that time, the empire had to order even one battleship from Britain. As a model for Asian civilization, it could not lead the entire Asia to a glorious future. I am very worried..."
"What Kanji Ishihara said is right. In the future world, the hegemony of the West and the kingship of the East will collide with each other, and a fierce war will inevitably occur. If the Empire of Japan wants to win this war, all
The people must work hard, even at the cost of their lives. If necessary, I will be broken for the sake of the future."
Emperor Hirohito looked at Itagaki Seishiro with an aggressive look: "Nine years ago, you and Ishihara Kanji planned and launched the Tohoku Incident, successfully captured Shenyang, Nenjiang, Rehe and even Jinzhou, and captured Manchuria three times the size of Japan. At that time , I really feel that the future of Asia has been determined, and the scene that the emperors of all generations have longed to see can truly be shown in my day." But that was the conspiracy of General Tang Juwu of Shanghai, and we were dead at that time. Nearly two hundred thousand civilians of the empire fought Wang Yizhe again this time and said they ended in failure.
Kojima Nojiro's head dropped even lower. "Therefore, regardless of the civil servants' impeachment of you for violating the Army Criminal Code, and regardless of the experienced generals' suppression of your young group, I promoted you to the position of Minister of the Army, and promoted Hideki Tojo to the position of Army Minister. "Secretary General, I will promote Okamura Neiji to the position of commander of the North China Front. I hope that the hot blood of you young people can eradicate the chronic disease and create the original glory again."
"But what now? What are you doing to repay the empire? Are you failing one after another!" Kojima Nojiro and Tojo Hideki immediately fell to their knees: "I have betrayed His Majesty's trust, and I will bear all the blame for my death!"
Emperor Hirohito waved his hand: "I will not punish you! If I continue to punish you, the empire will have no talented generals worth appointing! I summon you today. I just want to know when you can put down the threat. Winning China will truly lay the foundation for the empire’s mainland cause!”
Kojima Nojiro gritted his teeth: "Within five years, Asia will be pacified!" Emperor Hirohito waved his hand: "We can't last five years! Konoe Fumimaro, tell them the current financial situation of the empire!" "Hey! "
Konoe Fumimaro immediately said: "Currently, because the war has not yet ended, the empire's finances have reached a precarious situation. What is even more dangerous is the problem of war resources."
