"Order the front line to intensify the attack on the enemy forces in front of you, and send additional squadrons of vanguard soldiers to conduct detours for reconnaissance. We must find out the whereabouts of the Four Troops. Zhenzang-kun, you also know that the division headquarters has promised the commander, in addition to conquering this battle,
In addition to the two big cities of Kaifeng and Zhengzhou, the goal of the Chinese is to completely annihilate the small force of the Si Xing Regiment. Your Excellency, the Commander, has said that despite the current small size of this Chinese force, judging from its past achievements and their presence in China
The status in people's minds will sooner or later become a thorn in the side of the empire, and we must eliminate it as soon as possible.
This time the division did not hesitate to abandon the siege of the Chinese First Group Army and dedicated your 2nd Infantry Regiment to pursue the Fourth Army Regiment. This is not only my trust in you, but also the commander's expectation of you. You have not
Any reason for failure.
Do you understand?"
A Japanese soldier with the rank of lieutenant general on his shoulder straps showed no expression on his face. He said coldly to an army major who was standing respectfully in front of him.
"Hi! I will definitely continue to intensify the search for the whereabouts of the Si Xing Regiment!" The Army's leftist bowed his head heavily.
The sweat on his forehead slipped quietly.
Although the boss in front of him didn't have many harsh words, the army left winger knew the temperament of his division commander very well.
Dohi Madoka Kenji looks kind-hearted and like a good gentleman, but only those who know this guy who comes from a military family and has been engaged in espionage work for 30 years know how sinister Dohi Madoka Kenji is.
The brighter his smile, the more he kills.
Since the battle of the 14th Division, due to the resistance of the Chinese, there have been as many as 13 massacre orders personally issued by the lieutenant general division commander in front of him.
Because three soldiers who entered a Chinese village to collect food committed inappropriate acts against Chinese women, the local villagers surrounded and killed the three men in anger. This man casually ordered the massacre of the village!
A large village with thousands of people was burned to ashes overnight, leaving no one alive, from an octogenarian to a baby under one month old.
That kind of cold contempt for life makes even his colleagues who are equally murderous feel numb.
"The Four Troops disappeared from our army's reconnaissance field of view. They just chose to stay in the day and night, and then changed their marching route." Kenji Dohi looked at his respectful subordinates, turned his gaze to the map, and analyzed calmly with squinting eyes.
."The Chinese played a little trick. It seemed that they were going to take the road closest to Jin Province. In fact, it was just a cover. They must have changed their route near the Xinxiang front line.
The north of Xinxiang is our military area. Unless the Chinese have a bad brain and dare to rush over fearlessly, there are only two directions.
One is to go straight away from Xinxiang to the south, then make a detour from Jiaozuo to Jincheng, and then enter the mountainous area;
The second one is to turn around and return to Zhengzhou, and then choose a route based on the direction of our army's attack;
Zhenzang-kun, what kind of choice do you think he will make?"
The Japanese Army Major thought for a moment and replied with difficulty: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, I think the first option is the most likely. Even my subordinates will think that the infantry regiment will do the opposite and still follow everyone's instructions.
Continuing to move forward along the shortest path as imagined without engaging in tactical deception may be the most successful tactical deception.”
"Sadzo-kun, of course you have your reasons for thinking so. If you were an ordinary Chinese commander, both the first option and the possibility you mentioned would exist." Doi Madoka Kenji seemed to have already guessed.
When he heard his subordinate's answer, a smile appeared on his face. "However, you still don't know enough about the opponent you are about to face. This is something you need to strengthen."
"Hi! Please give me your guidance, the division commander!" the army chief bowed his head respectfully.
"Six days ago, after receiving the killing order issued by the Commander to the Four Troops, I studied all the information about the young leader of the Four Troops. Sadazou-kun, I don't know if you believe that I am here.
I have the judgment of thirty years of working in the Imperial Intelligence Department, but I have deep confidence in my abilities." Doi Madoka Kenji's face was more solemn than ever before. "His Excellency General Terauchi Juichi's evaluation of the young Chinese soldier is sooner or later.
He is a thorn in the side of the empire, but I think that if he is given more time, he will not only be a thorn in his side, he may even become the empire’s enemy, and I don’t know how many empire warriors will die at his hands.”
At this moment, the Japanese Army Chief could only respond to his division commander's evaluation of the Chinese soldier named Tang Dao with dumbfounded expressions.
Because, just as Doi Madoka Kenji is confident in his own judgment, Ishiguro Sadzo is equally confident in his immediate superior.
In 1913, he came to Yanjing as a member of the General Staff Headquarters and an army captain, and served as the assistant to the Japanese spy chief, Attaché Bansai, in the "Banxi Mansion" (i.e., the secret service agency), beginning his more than 30-year spy career in China.
Dohi Madoka Kenji participated in almost all conspiracies to split China.
In 1924, during the second Zhili-Fengtian War, Feng Yuxiang launched the Yanjing coup, and Wu Peifu fled to Jiangxia in panic. Doihara immediately controlled the plan behind the scenes and stopped bank exchanges as a means, causing Wu Peifu's banknotes to turn into waste paper, accelerating the
The downfall of the Zhili warlords.
In June 1928, he personally participated in planning the "Huanggutun Incident". The Northeast King was killed in a bombing. The monolithic Northeast lost their most powerful ruler, and the Kwantung Army had an opportunity to take advantage of it.
In 1930, Doihara accepted the instructions of the Kwantung Army and established a secret service in North China to disintegrate the power of the Northeast Army.
If there is anyone in the world who understands Chinese people better, there are few people in Japan who can compare with Kenji Doi.
However, his evaluation of Tang Dao was too high.
If Tang Dao was a front army commander with more than 100,000 troops under his command, it might be considered normal, but at this time he was just the commander of a small infantry regiment commanding more than 2,000 people. How could he be so virtuous and capable?
"You can be surprised, but you have to believe." Dohi Madoka Kenji's eyes were cold. "He was able to escape from the heavy siege of the empire in the Battle of Sihang Warehouse. It can be said that he was incredibly courageous, and he had the terrain to support him.
Utilization, but how to explain the Battle of Matsue? Yanagawa Heisuke is also a veteran general of the empire, but an army of 100,000 people attacking 30,000 people still delayed the Chinese for four days and nights, making the empire's strategic intention of encircling and annihilating its main force completely in vain.
Not to mention, thousands of Imperial soldiers died during the attack. Even Hisao Tani, a reckless man, died on the battlefield, and he was fatally shot by a gunman lurking in front of the headquarters.
If I am not sure that all this is related to Tang Dao in the early stage, but after looking at its performance in the later period, I can almost conclude that the failure of the Battle of Songjiang and the death of that reckless man Hisao Tani were inseparable from Tang Dao.
Regardless of the subsequent night attack by the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade, or the ambush at the Laojin Pit in the Guangde Mountains where the Guoqi detachment lost many troops, Tang Dao has used his weird and changeable tactical characteristics to the extreme. Even me,
If you don't know him well, you will probably suffer a defeat like Ushijima Sadao, Ushijima Mitsuru, Kunizaki and others.
The cunning of this man far exceeds the age of more than 20 shown in the intelligence. Perhaps this is the legendary military talent!
Tactical deception is a common occurrence for this guy, and doing the opposite is no longer enough to describe the variety of his tactics. If you only consider one change, you will probably be fooled by him.
Therefore, I have reason to believe that he has already predicted our prediction. He even prepared a countermeasure when marching to Xinxiang, a place that was originally impossible to appear, a few days ago. He should now be turning around and returning to Zhengzhou.
On the way.
When our 14th Division completely conquers Xinxiang, the big city of Zhengzhou is right in front of us. When the entire army launches an attack on Kaifeng and Zhengzhou, it will take the opportunity to move towards Jincheng. By then, our army will be overwhelmed by the distance between the two big cities.
Temptation, if we can no longer divide our forces to pursue him, he can naturally escape."
"Your Excellency, the division commander, must be wise and able to understand this man's plot, otherwise, sending the search troops southward will only be a useless effort." The Army's left-hand man looked in shock and patted his immediate superior.
"Tang Dao has so many tricks and tricks that he has surpassed many generals I have seen. Looking at his opponents, many opponents have been defeated by his changeable tactics. But his tactics are changeable and he is also a double-edged sword.
Sword, especially after victory after victory, surprise attack has become a personal habit that is deeply rooted in his bones, and this habit, when understood by his enemies, may become a fatal flaw at any time.
Zhenzang-kun, there is an old Chinese saying that says, 'Soldiers are impermanent, and water is impermanent.' If you want to be an excellent commander, don't let your combat characteristics become the norm, lest your opponents take advantage of you!
Remember!" Feeling comfortable being flattered by his subordinates, Kenji Doihara continued with a little pride on his face.
"Hi! Your Excellency, Division Commander, I have learned a lesson from you!" The Japanese Army Major nodded heavily.
"However, the reason why I say that Tang Dao will become the empire's enemy sooner or later if he is not killed is not because of his cunning and brilliant record." Kenji Tohi's eyes turned solemn. "After my intelligence analysis on him,
Suddenly, it was discovered that this son's rise was like a meteor, with almost no warning. In just one battle, he was promoted from an army sergeant to a second lieutenant, then to a lieutenant, and finally to an army colonel due to the needs of Chinese publicity, surpassing ordinary people.
It will take ten or even ten years, and I can’t find any other reason to explain it except luck.”
"If it were just luck, this person would be no better." A trace of contempt flashed in Army Chief Zuo's eyes.
Japanese people attach great importance to practicality and have never paid much attention to such ethereal things as luck.
"You are wrong. Although the fortune that the Chinese often talk about sounds very mysterious, it actually exists. Throughout China's thousands of years of history, almost all successful people have luck.
In the past, if the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty had not been blessed with luck, how could a commoner have become an emperor with an area of tens of millions of square kilometers? If the emperors of the first generation of the Ming Dynasty had not had enough luck, how could they have gone from a little beggar to the person who destroyed the Mongolian and Yuan Empire?
There are countless such examples.
If you still don’t believe it, after Tang Dao was promoted to army colonel, he originally had an empty title and had only a hundred soldiers under his command. However, when he arrived in Songjiang, he quickly gained the trust of the top commander of Songjiang at the time and instantly commanded a hundred soldiers.
It swelled to a thousand people. From the original base, it gained the support of the military generals and finally formed an elite infantry regiment.
The intelligence also shows that he maintains good relations with several Chinese generals, and these people will definitely become his help in the future. Is this all a kind of luck?
If you give him enough time and let him gradually unite vertically and horizontally, he will be the center to unite a force that even the empire cannot ignore. Coupled with his original ability, do you think he will become the empire's formidable enemy?
?" Dohi Madoka Kenji shook his head and explained.
"This great enemy of the empire must be eliminated first and quickly! He must not be allowed to escape." The Army Chief Left took a deep breath.
"Haha! You don't have to face a formidable enemy!" Seeing that his subordinate was finally touched by his reasons, Kenji Doi raised his lips slightly and chuckled. "The war between the Empire and China is like a rabbit and a wolf on the grassland.
, the rabbit can escape the fate of being hunted several times by relying on the cunning rabbit's three burrows, but in the end, it will still be found and eaten by the wolf. This kind of war between countries ultimately relies on strength!
Tang Dao is just one of those cunning rabbits, what we have to do now is to find him and then kill him, that's all."
"Hi!" Japanese Army Chief Zuo stood at attention and nodded.
After tidying up his military uniform, the captain of the 2nd Infantry Regiment of the 14th Division, the Left Wing Captain, turned around and left with confidence.
Kenji Doihara watched his subordinates leave with satisfaction. He left the intelligence department more than a year ago and became the commander of the army's front-line troops. He led the 14th Division into North China half a year ago. Many generals in the army headquarters and even him
Many of his subordinates also doubted his commanding ability, but as the war progressed, he responded to everyone's doubts with his military exploits.
The reason why the captain of the Great Left Wing of the 2nd Infantry Regiment who had just left was chosen by him to deal with the Four Elements Regiment was not because of how powerful Ishiguro Sadazou was, but because he was the first commander-level officer to surrender to him.
After the guidance, if he can make great achievements, he can raise him to the rank of major general brigade commander, and transfer the major general brigade commander of the 27th Infantry Brigade who often contradicts him, and the 14th Division will be
There is absolutely only one voice.
The voice belongs to Kenji Doihara, even though he has only been the leader of the guru for only half a year.
Kenji Doihara's ambition is far more than just a lieutenant general division commander. His wish is to sit on the position of army general. If there is a chance, it is not impossible to become an imperial marshal. Therefore, he has spent decades on embezzlement.
China spared no effort to fuel the situation. Otherwise, given his family background, it would be difficult for him to ascend to a high position in peacetime.
In the past time and space, Doihara Kenji had almost fulfilled his ultimate dream. After the Battle of Yu Province, he was transferred back to China due to his outstanding military exploits, returned to the intelligence agency, and established the largest intelligence agency against China in Songhu.
Agency, in two years' time, he will be promoted to Army General.
However, his ambitions ended here. As Japan launched the Pacific War, the war situation that had been full of hope began to deteriorate. Kenji Doihara's dream of being an imperial marshal was completely shattered, and he became a military commander after the war.
level war criminal.
That means going to the gallows.
In this time and space, the variable Tang Dao suddenly appeared, and the original destiny of Kenji Doihara, who had interacted with this variable, would inevitably change.
As for how it will change, it depends on what he taught his subordinates: luck is an indispensable thing in a person's life.
When he met Tang Dao, who was thrown into this time and space by God, he was destined to be the unlucky kind.
Having worked in intelligence for more than thirty years has given him a good understanding of Tang Dao, and he almost guessed the marching direction of the Four Lines Regiment correctly.
That's right, after the Fourth Army Regiment delivered the supplies promised to General Song overnight, they used the cover of night to retreat instead of advancing. No torches were lit at night. The entire army only used a few flashlights to lead the way, even if they only marched 20 miles a night.
Even at a slow speed, they also resolutely retreated towards Zhengzhou.
This is why the Japanese reconnaissance planes in the air, motorcycles on the ground, cavalry, and reconnaissance troops were everywhere but could not find any trace of the Four Lines Regiment.
However, Kenji Doihara guessed correctly but misunderstood the process. Tang Dao did not withdraw around Zhengzhou as he imagined, waiting for the two big cities to become bait to attract the main force of the Japanese army, and then leave.
Based on Tang Dao's understanding of the Japanese army, he knew that after they captured two big cities, if they suffered heavy casualties, they would vent their anger on the ordinary people, and they would have to fight the Japanese army no matter what.
But Tang Dao knew very well that after the Japanese army conquered Xinxiang, that was the end of it. It wasn't that they didn't want to attack, but that Commander Cheng wasted no time in destroying the only passable bridge on the Yellow River 30 kilometers away from Zhengzhou City.
Iron Bridge - Yellow River Bridge.
Facing the surging Yellow River, the Japanese tanks and artillery could only look at the river and sigh. The Yellow River is not the Yangtze River. Their inland river ships can gallop on the Yellow River to help them bombard the defenders on the shore. If they cross the Yellow River, the Japanese army will have to fight for their lives.
Before they could find a good way to break through the Yellow River's natural chasm, the Xuzhou War ended.
Hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops jumped out of the encirclement and retreated to central China in large strides. The man who no longer had any scruples personally ordered the explosion of the Garden Gate. The crazy Yellow River flooded everywhere, drowning countless civilians, and also killed many people who were still on the banks of the Yellow River.
The 14th Division, which was left standing, received a blow.
It is said that Kenji Doihara and his son almost drowned, which shows how powerful the Yellow River is.
Tang Dao did not need to worry about the safety of the great city of Zhengzhou at this time, and the safety of the surrounding people could be temporarily guaranteed. The reason why Tang Dao returned to the surrounding areas of Zhengzhou was simply because he suddenly remembered something.
Because of the bombing of the Yellow River Bridge, the Chinese soldiers were here to fight with the Japanese troops who also knew the importance of the Yellow River Bridge and came to attack it. Not only were there heavy casualties, many Xinxiang people who had no time to retreat were stranded on the banks of the Yellow River and were massacred by the Japanese troops.
.
This time, Tang Dao must not let tragedy happen. Not only must he save those people, but he must also beat the Japanese vanguard here to death, and then leave with his head held high.
This is the first battle of the Four Troops when they arrive in northern China.
Let's take action on the 14th Division.
Kenji Doihara thought that he knew enough about Tang Dao, but unfortunately, that was just what he thought.
Tang Dao's personal habit is not to engage in strange battles, but rather, no matter how he fights, the dead Japs are the good Japs.
Poor Sadazou Ishiguro was led astray by his boss who had been involved in the intelligence agency for decades.
Of course, more importantly, his luck is really not that good!...
ps: Yesterday Fengyue was completely out of sorts. There was an outline, but what she wrote was like shit. I couldn’t bear to look at it, so I wrote and deleted, deleted and wrote. After struggling for a whole day, I still couldn’t write any decent words. I just got angry and simply decided to write.
I stopped writing and went out to play football. I started writing again today and finally came up with a "Tufeiyuan" that I understood. This guy is a shrewd enemy.
