In Taiyuan, Shanxi, at the headquarters of the Japanese First Army, Yoshio Shinozuka had no expression on his face.
In order to remain in the First Army, Yoshio Shinozuka took great risks to mobilize various units of the First Army and launched a large-scale raid on the Eighth Route Army base area. Yoshio Shinozuka did not want to leave, so he had to find a way to establish a
Some meritorious deeds, only in this way can he have the possibility to continue to stay.
But now, the failure of the raid on the Eighth Route Army base area made Yoshio Shinozuka know that he had only one choice left, which was to leave the First Army.
Yoshio Shinozuka's eyes were a little hollow. He had been fighting against the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi for so long, and he knew the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army. But before the start of this sweep, he still had some hope, thinking that the sweep would have a certain effect. But
The result of the sweep made Yoshio Shinozuka understand that he had overthought a little. The complex environment in Shanxi allowed the Eighth Route Army units to hide well.
Once the Eighth Route Army troops choose to avoid fighting, even if Yoshio Shinozuka mobilizes too many troops, it will not have any effect.
What's more, the complex environment in Shanxi makes Yoshio Shinozuka dare not mobilize the entire First Army. In Shanxi, there is not only the Eighth Route Army, but also Yan Xishan. If there is a problem with the strength of the First Army in the occupied area, then
Yan Xishan will definitely take action.
Yoshio Shinozuka did not dare to take Yan Xishan lightly. He knew that Yan Xishan was an old fox. As long as he could get benefits, he could be seen anywhere.
Although the Jinsui Army under Yan Xishan did not take any action during this period, if they really find an opportunity to gain benefits, the Jinsui Army will definitely take action. The reason why the raids on the Eighth Route Army base areas have been unsuccessful is also because of Xiao
Tsuka Yoshio has a certain fear of the Jinsui Army, and he needs to leave enough troops in his hands to deal with it.
"Commander, a telegram from the North China Front Army Headquarters." A Japanese soldier came to the headquarters and shouted.
Yoshio Shinozuka looked at the Japanese soldier. He could see that the soldier had his head lowered and his face seemed a little frightened. He immediately understood that this telegram from the North China Front Army Headquarters would not be good news. He just understood.
In this way, Yoshio Shinozuka still accepted the telegram. Unless he wanted to defect, he had to read the telegram.
And Yoshio Shinozuka was a pure imperialist and a staunch supporter of the Emperor. When he graduated from the Japanese Army University, he even received a sword given by the Emperor. In any case, Yoshio Shinozuka would not
Defection, given the situation of the Japanese troops, even if Yoshio Shinozuka wanted to defect, he would not be able to leave Taiyuan at all.
"The North China Front Army Headquarters ordered that the commander of the First Army in Shanxi, Yoshio Shinozuka, will go to the North China Front Army Headquarters within a week to report on his duties!"
The message on the telegram was very simple. Yoshio Shinozuka put down the telegram and looked at the imperial sword placed on the table. This used to be the thing that made him most proud. But now, Yoshio Shinozuka no longer has the slightest pride.
, several failed campaigns to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army base areas, but instead allowed the Eighth Route Army troops to continue to grow and develop in the occupied areas.
Yoshio Shinozuka knew that he was a sinner, and the imperial sword in his hands was completely a stain. At this moment, Yoshio Shinozuka had the idea of killing himself directly to repay the emperor, but in the end, he still
After giving up this year, he didn't want to die, he still wanted to wait until the day when the Japanese Empire established China.
Picking up the imperial sword placed on the table, Yoshio Shinozuka tidied his clothes and walked out of the headquarters quickly. Outside the headquarters, military vehicles were ready. When ordering the troops to end the sweep, Shinozuka
The adopted man packed up everything and prepared to be summoned by the North China Front Army Headquarters.
"lets go."
Under the order of Yoshio Shinozuka, the military vehicle started slowly and headed towards Taiyuan Railway Station.
At the same time, intelligence personnel from all parties in Taiyuan City discovered that Yoshio Shinozuka went to the train station. During their secret observation, they could see Yoshio Shinozuka boarding the train directly at Taiyuan Railway Station and leaving Taiyuan.
Judging from the direction of the train, Yoshio Shinozuka should be heading to the Japanese North China Front Headquarters.
Soon, intelligence personnel from all parties passed back this information. As the commander of the Japanese First Army, Yoshio Shinozuka was in charge of the Japanese war in Shanxi. No, Yoshio Shinozuka's departure directly
Intelligence personnel from all parties have been alerted. After the relevant information is transmitted back to all parties, a large amount of analysis will naturally be carried out.
In a short period of time, the news about Yoshio Shinozuka leaving Taiyuan, Shanxi Province became known to everyone.
Chongqing, Shaanxi Yan'an, the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, the Second Theater Command, etc. all conducted a large amount of analysis on Shinozuka Yoshio's departure. After analysis, all parties roughly guessed that Shinozuka Yoshio went to the Japanese army in North China this time.
If you declare your duties at the front army headquarters, you should be punished to a certain extent.
However, it is still unclear what kind of punishment Yoshio Shinozuka will receive.
Liu Gen, who contacted the division headquarters in Temple Ding Mountain, also learned from the division commander that Yoshio Shinozuka, the commander of the Japanese First Army, had left Taiyuan, Shanxi. He also learned about the headquarters' news about Yoshio Shinozuka leaving Taiyuan, Shanxi.
related analysis.
But unlike the headquarters, Liu Gen had more thoughts about Yoshio Shinozuka going to the headquarters of the North China Front. After several failed encirclement and suppression campaigns, even if Yoshio Shinozuka was a Japanese lieutenant general, he would definitely be punished.
The unsatisfactory battle with the national army on the front line and the expansion of the anti-Japanese base areas in the Japanese-occupied areas caused the Japanese to focus their operations on the anti-Japanese base areas. In other words, the Japanese were more wary of the Eighth Route Army troops, and they needed someone who could subdue them.
The commander of the First Army, who suppressed the development of the Eighth Route Army and prevented the anti-Japanese base area from expanding again, was stationed in Shanxi.
The failure of Shinozuka Yoshio's several encirclement and suppression campaigns undoubtedly proved that he was not the most suitable candidate. If he wanted to truly stabilize Shanxi, it would be impossible for Shinozuka Yoshio to stay.
Liu Gen did not hide his thoughts. He directly told the teacher what he thought of. Even if the teacher didn't believe it, it would still have some effect.
In fact, after listening to Liu Gen's analysis, the division commander realized that it was very likely that Yoshio Shinozuka, the commander of the Japanese First Army, would be transferred. Liu Gen was good, but compared with the division commander,
He was still a little behind. Unlike Liu Gen, the division commander clearly knew more information about the changes in the Japanese movements and the importance the Japanese attached to the anti-Japanese base areas.
After the division commander discussed with everyone in the division headquarters, everyone in the division headquarters found that Liu Gen was right, and they all recognized Liu Gen's statement. Therefore, Liu Gen's inference was sent to the bosses at the headquarters. They originally thought that Yoshio Shinozuka
The bosses who would only be punished also realized that what Liu Gen said was very likely to happen.
In order to be fully prepared, the bosses directly analyzed who among the Japanese would take his place after Yoshio Shinozuka left the First Army.
Under the analysis of the bosses, they soon guessed a few Japs who might take over the position of commander of the First Army. For this reason, the bosses even ordered relevant intelligence personnel to collect as much information as possible on these Japs. Only
In this way, we can be adequately prepared to deal with the change of commander of the Japanese First Army.
Of course, even if they realized that a new Japs would take over Yoshio Shinozuka's position, the bosses were not nervous at all. They had experienced too many battles, and even if a new Japs commander arrived, there would not be much
Question. Based on the conditions of the various units of the Japanese First Army, even if a new Japanese takes over Yoshio Shinozuka's position, it is impossible to launch another large-scale raid on the anti-Japanese base areas in a short period of time.
That is to say, the Eighth Route Army units in Shanxi should have two or three months to recuperate and recuperate. Each unit needs to recruit more soldiers and increase the training of the soldiers to ensure that they can cope with the raids of the Japanese base areas by the Japanese troops.
In Siding Mountain, the temporary residence of the artillery school, Liu Gen has been leading the students to conduct training and related artillery theory studies. During the training and study, Liu Gen can find that the students have made great progress, even if some theoretical
I haven't fully understood it yet, but as long as you practice a lot of artillery fire, you will definitely be able to form combat effectiveness in a short time.
In Liu Gen's view, in two months, the trainees will be able to leave the artillery school and become the first batch of graduates of the artillery school.
Compared with other professional artillery schools, Liu Gen's training time for the students may be too short, but Liu Gen feels that the students can not learn much in the artillery school. Even if they continue to stay in the artillery school, he thinks
It will also be much more difficult to make progress. Real artillery is trained in combat. Only through constant combat can students discover their own problems and correct them.
Besides, given the actual situation of the Eighth Route Army, there is not enough time for the trainees to receive relevant training.
While Liu Gen continued to lead the trainees for training, Yoshio Shinozuka also took a train to the headquarters of the Japanese North China Front in Peiping. The military vehicle stopped in front of the headquarters. Yoshio Shinozuka sat in the military vehicle for a long time.
Just got out of the military vehicle.
In the past, when Yoshio Shinozuka came to the headquarters of the North China Front, he would be greeted by officers, but this time, Yoshio Shinozuka could not see any officers coming to greet him, and he could clearly see that
Seeing soldiers waiting around the military vehicle, Yoshio Shinozuka carefully arranged his military uniform before standing up and walking towards the headquarters.
There were soldiers leading the way in front of him, and behind Yoshio Shinozuka there were soldiers protecting him carefully, as if they were worried that something would happen to Yoshio Shinozuka.
Yoshio Shinozuka could see all this clearly, but he had no words and could not speak. The large-scale raid organized in Shanxi failed again, making him a defeated general in the eyes of the base camp.
