"For the current plan, we can only hold a combat meeting to discuss this matter." Sato Haruki's expression was not good, and he did not expect that things would actually develop like this.
"Order to go down and convene an emergency combat meeting."
"Hi!"
…
"Nani, what can you do?" A Japanese major general stood up and said directly after listening to Sugiyama Gen's narrative.
"The information came from people from the Special High School, and the headquarters has never issued an order to park fighter planes at Laiyang Airport. So, where did the fighters in Laiyang come from?" Sato Haruki stood up and said
.
"Your Excellency, Commander, Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, even if there is no problem with the source of the information, how do you know that this information must be true? Is it not that the Chinese are trying to make the Imperial Japanese Army kill each other?" Another staff station officer
He stood up and said, "You know, our Empire of Japan has been victorious in China. Even China's millions of troops cannot withstand the front of our Empire of Japan. How could other troops attack us under our noses?"
Tens of thousands of warriors from the Japanese Empire were killed silently.”
"yes."
"I also think this makes sense."
For a moment, such voices resounded in the headquarters. After all, what Sugiyama Yuan and the others said was too unbelievable.
"The source of the intelligence is unmistakable." Sugiyama Gen said in a low voice. "The personnel of the Special High School Course were founded by General Kenji Doihara, so they are also unmistakable. A few days ago, I sent my guards to
Laiyang, however, has not come back until today. I suspect that he has been killed."
Everyone was silent for a while. Then, someone stood up and said, "Your Excellency, Commander, if this information is true, then who are the troops in Laiyang now? Since they can do it without anyone noticing,
If all the 11th mixed brigade is wiped out, how many people do they have? What about their weapons and equipment? If this is really the case, we cannot use common sense to speculate on this unit, and we must be vigilant about the
Troops, have they also been killed?"
"Yo Xi." Sugiyama Yuan nodded, looked at Yamashita Fengwen, and said, "According to our speculation, Lacey's mountain brigade has also been killed. As for Haiyang, there is only one squadron stationed, and the enemy will not be stupid enough to seize Haiyang.
Yang, because we have a navy but the enemy does not. So, everyone, please discuss a feasible plan."
"Your Excellency, Commander, Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, first of all, we need to determine which areas were occupied by which troops." Yamashita Tombumi said. Yamashita Tombumi, Japanese Army General, war criminal. A native of Kochi Prefecture. Graduated from the Army Non-commissioned Officer School and the Army.
University. He once served as military attache stationed abroad and commander of an infantry regiment. He was promoted to general in 1943. In September 1944, he was appointed commander of the 14th Front Army and led his troops to fight stubbornly on Luzon Island in the Philippines until Japan's defeat.
Today, Yamashita Fengfumi is just a major general staff officer of the Japanese North China Front.
"Yoshi, what Yamashita-kun said makes sense." Sugiyama Gen nodded, and then looked at Sato Haruki. He now hated Sato Haruki so much that as the chief of staff, he couldn't tell the enemy's situation.
"Your Excellency, Commander, I suggest that in order to identify which units have been breached, we should first send reports to each unit and have military adjutants from various places come to Tianjin to report on their duties on behalf of the military chief. Those who did not come will naturally be controlled," said Yamashita Fengwen.
, "If the military chief comes to report on his duties, I am afraid it will cause changes in the anti-Japanese armed forces in various places."
"Yoshi." Sugiyama Yuan continued to nod, "Then let's do this for now."
"Moreover, if it is confirmed that only the troops in the Laiyang area are under control, we will not have to worry." Yamashita Fengwen said, "Laiyang is located in Yantai, in the middle of Qingdao, with Haiyang to the east and Pingdu to the west. It can be said that it is
A Jedi. Our warriors can set out from Yantai, Qingdao, or even Haiyang to attack Laiyang. Then, inland, they can besiege Laiyang from Pingdu and other places. I believe that that force will only be
The fight between trapped beasts.”
"However, according to intelligence, that force already has more than 30 fighter planes, and the models are unknown. They look very advanced. Moreover, there are more than 100 tanks, which look much better than the empire's tanks."
Sugiyama Yuan frowned and said.
"If this is the case, it is recommended to mobilize a large number of air force fighter planes and tanks to attack the local area. When the enemy's strength is unknown, one must not underestimate the enemy."
"Yo Xi." Sugiyama Yuan continued to nod, feeling that his mood was much better. He glanced at Sato Haruki again and sighed inwardly. It seems that it is time to change the chief of staff. "So, Yamashita-kun, what troops do you think should be mobilized?
For good."
"This, I would like to suggest that we take the first step first and let the adjutants from various places report on their duties. After sorting out the strength of each place, we can then make plans. Today, our records of many troops are different from before. We should first understand our own strength.
, and then make a decision." Yamashita Fengwen said calmly.
"Yoshi."
…
In the afternoon of December 8, 1938, the Japanese troops in Shandong received a telegram from the North China Command, asking their adjutants from various places to go to Tianjin to report on their duties.
…
laiyang
Zhou Weiguo looked at the telegram and sneered. Wasn't the purpose of the Japs' move to confirm whether there were any enemies? In this case, before the Japs were unsure, build a fortress and wait for the Japs to come, giving them a big surprise.
"Convene a meeting with cadres above the regiment level."
"yes!"
…
"Look, everyone, this is the latest telegram from the Japanese." Zhou Weiguo passed the telegram in his hand to everyone.
"The Japs don't know that we have already occupied Laiyang?" Xie Weiwei said with a smile, "This reaction is too slow. We have been deploying for so long and have been waiting for the Japs to come."
"Yes, I waited until the flowers withered." Li Wu smiled and said in dialect.
"Actually, this is good. It is equivalent to giving us nearly half a month to buffer us." Fang Shengli said, "It has been more than ten days since we started arranging defenses. Now, our fortifications are enough
It is strong and has sufficient ammunition. Our flying group and tank unit are also familiar with their equipment."
"Yeah." Zhou Weiguo raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Firstly, the Japanese are arrogant enough. They think that how could a group as big as the Guards Cultural Troupe with more than 10,000 people be wiped out silently?
Secondly, they don’t have enough evidence to prove that the Guards Cultural Brigade was destroyed. Therefore, they definitely don’t believe it. Now, I don’t know where the intelligence came from that confirmed them, but what we can be sure of now is that the Japanese have already
A call is coming."
"Don't worry, if the Japs come now, they will only suffer a big loss." Li Weimin said, "We are different from other national army units. Our combat effectiveness, our equipment, and our quality are all things the Japs have never seen before.
"
"Yes, I guess we can give the Japanese a head-on blow." Fang Shengli also smiled.
But Zhou Weiguo frowned. He always felt that everyone was too optimistic, and then said, "No matter what, the brigades and regiments in various places keep in contact and report any situation at any time, and report any need for support at any time."
"yes!"
…
On December 10, 1938, dozens of warships sailed near Haiyang.
