In Beiping, the conference room of the North China Dispatch Army Headquarters of the Japanese Army was star-studded, and more than 20 Japanese generals sat in their places with serious faces.The officer on duty suddenly shouted, and the Japanese officers present stood up one after another and bowed their heads respectfully.General Terauchi Shouichi, commander of the Japanese North China Dispatch Army, strode into the conference room, accompanied by Chief of Staff Okabe Naosaburo.Shouichi Terauchi walked to his place and nodded with satisfaction, "Yo Xi Zhujun, please take a seat" The Japanese officers attending the meeting responded respectfully and sat down one after another.Terauchi Shouichi glanced at the Japanese officers attending the meeting, and said with a serious face, "Now that the Battle of Xuzhou has been successfully concluded, my heroic and invincible Imperial Japanese Army has successfully captured Xuzhou and other places.The people of China were defeated, and the battle in Henan, the imperial army also went well.The next goal of the Imperial Army was to capture Wuhan, which was the capital of the Chinese people, who, according to current information, had mobilized more than a million troops in an attempt to defend their escort in a decisive battle with the Imperial Japanese Army.As long as the Imperial Army can annihilate the main force of the China Army in the Wuhan area and successfully occupy Wuhan, it will certainly be able to force the China Government to surrender to our Great Japanese Empire, and then our Great Japanese Empire will be able to completely conquer the entire China. ”"Long live the Imperial Army, Long live His Majesty the Emperor, long live the Imperial Japanese Army," dozens of Japanese officers shouted in unison."
Yo West" Terauchi Shouichi nodded with satisfaction, "At present, the most important task of our North China Dispatch Army is to assist the Chinese Dispatch Army to attack Wuhan, and this battle is very likely to become the last battle of our Great Japanese Empire to conquer China, so the base camp and even His Majesty the Emperor himself attach great importance to this battle, so this battle is only allowed to win, not to lose."
The high-speed "" Hebei region is known as the granary of North China, and is the center of North China, and the two railway trunk lines of Pinghan and Jinpu are interspersed with these two railway trunk lines, which are important life supply lines for the front-line imperial army. ”Terauchi Shouichi turned his words and continued: "Recently, the Eighth Route Army and other anti-Japanese armed forces in the Hebei region have been extremely rampant, repeatedly attacking our Imperial Japanese Army, causing considerable losses to our Imperial Army, which is absolutely intolerable to the invincible Imperial Japanese Army.Moreover, in another month, the wheat in the Hebei region will be ripe, which can provide a large amount of military rations for the front-line imperial army.Therefore, in order to ensure the life supply line of the front-line army, in order to be able to provide sufficient military rations for the front-line imperial army, and ensure the final victory of the Battle of Wuhan.The North China Dispatch Army Headquarters decided to launch a large-scale public order and rectification operation against the Eighth Route Army and other anti-Japanese forces in the Hebei region before launching a general attack on the Wuhan area, so as to completely eliminate the resistance forces in the Hebei region. ”"Your Excellency the commander is wise, but at present, the imperial army is going to launch an offensive in the Wuhan area, and I am afraid that it will not be able to allocate too many troops to participate in this law and order rectification operation."
The commander of the First Army, General Kazuki Kiyoji, said with a frown."
Xiangyuejun is right, but the anti-Japanese forces in the Hebei region are just a rabble, and there is no need to send a large army to encircle and suppress them.After study, the headquarters decided that it only needed to dispatch the strength of one division and another independent mixed brigade to completely annihilate them in a short period of time, and this would not affect the combat operations in Wuhan in the future. ”Shouichi Terauchi said confidently.Kazuki Kiyoji nodded and said, "What His Excellency Commander said is very true, but I don't know which two troops His Excellency the Commander intends to send to participate in this battle" Terauchi Shouichi did not speak, but turned his head to look at the Chief of Staff Okabe Naosaburo who was sitting under him, Okabe Naosaburo quickly stood up, picked up a piece clip at hand, opened it and said loudly; "In this public order and rectification operation, the headquarters decided to send the 118th Brigade of the 109th Division, the 63rd Wing of the 10th Division to rest in Dezhou, the 59th Wing of the 14th Division to rest and recuperate in Shimen, and the 2nd Independent Brigade stationed in Baoding, a total of 23,000 imperial troops participated in the battle, and about 15,000 units of the Imperial Allied Army assisted the imperial army in exterminating the anti-Japanese armed forces in the Hebei region.""
Such a force in Yoxi is enough to completely wipe out the anti-Japanese forces in the Hebei region."
Kazuki Kiyoji nodded with satisfaction and said.Terauchi Shouichi turned his head to look at Kazuki Kiyoji, and said with a serious face, "After the study and decision of the headquarters, this public order and rectification operation will be fully responsible for Kazuki-kun, I hope that Kazuki-kun can command my heroic Imperial Japanese Army to completely annihilate the anti-Japanese forces in the Hebei region, please" "Hai I, please rest assured, Your Excellency the commander, you will live up to the high expectations of Your Excellency the commander, and annihilate all the anti-Japanese forces in the Hebei region as soon as possible." ”Kazuki Kiyoji stood up and said respectfully."
Yo Xi Xiangyue-jun is worthy of being a pillar of the empire, and I also believe that Xiangyue-jun can successfully complete this mission."
Shouichi Terauchi nodded with satisfaction and said.The "kill" fighters shouted loudly, and stabbed their sharp bayonets into the chest of the scarecrow in front of them.Li Guotao looked at the soldiers who were training hard in the training ground and nodded with satisfaction.Raising his legs, he was about to walk towards the shooting range, when he happened to see Changde hurriedly walking over here."
Guotao" Changde stopped Li Guotao from afar."
What's wrong, what's going on, look at your panicked expression."
Li Guotao asked casually."
We have just received a telegram from the military sub-district that our underground intelligence agents lurking in the Tianjin area have just received an important piece of information that in the near future, the little devils will launch a large-scale sweep against our base areas."
Chang De said with a frown."
Large-scale sweep" Li Guotao said with a surprised face, "The little devil has just captured the Xuzhou area, and the battle of Lanfeng is nearing the end, at this time, the next goal of the little devil should be to attack Wuhan, how can it be possible to pull out his hand and carry out a large-scale sweep of our Hebei base area" "It is said that it is because of the recent period of time, the various departments of our Hebei base area have frequently attacked the Japanese army, especially the several sabotage battles on the Pinghan Railway and the Jinpu Railway, which seriously threatened the logistics supply line of the little devil.
Therefore, the little devil decided to completely purge the anti-Japanese armed forces in the Hebei region before attacking Wuhan, so as to ensure the smooth progress of the Battle of Wuhan. ”Chang De sighed and said."
This explanation is also in the past, but now the little devil is making every effort to prepare for the battle of Wuhan, even if he wants to encircle and suppress our base area, I am afraid that he will not be able to draw too many troops, so we don't have to worry too much, if it is just a small force of Japanese troops, then it is not to send us food" Li Guotao said confidently.aa2705221:
