Cuimingzhuang on the outskirts of Beiping, although night falls, but in a campus is still brightly lit, the room continues to sound a burst of mournful Japanese folk music, three faces are covered with heavy fat powder, dressed like a female ghost of the Kabuki, wearing kimonos, holding a delicate folding fan in their hands are dancing on the stage.Sitting in the main seat was the new commander of the Japanese North China Dispatch Army, General Gangmura Ningji, who was not only promoted to one level this time, but also promoted to the rank of general, which shows the importance that the Japanese emperor attaches to Gangmura Ningji and to North China.And the old devil sitting opposite Gangcun Ningji is the new commander of the First Army of the Japanese Army in North China, Lieutenant General Yoshio Iwamatsu.Although in the Shanxi Campaign, the Japanese 1st Army was completely annihilated by the Chinese army, but before Taiyuan was recovered, the little devil had already airlifted the 1st Army and all the military flags of its subordinate units back to Beiping in advance, and after Gangcun Ningji took office as the commander of the North China Dispatch Army, he immediately ordered the rebuilding of the 1st Army, and the headquarters was temporarily stationed in Shimen, so the Japanese side did not recognize that the 1st Army was completely annihilated, after all, it was too embarrassing for the strength of an army to be completely annihilated.The establishment of the Japanese army, above the divisions, also has corps, front armies and general armies.For example, the North China Dispatch Army belonged to the Front Army, consisting of the 1st Army, the 12th Army and the troops directly under the Front Army, while the Chinese Dispatch Army belonged to the General Army, commanding all Japanese troops in the Guannai, including the North China Dispatch Army.In addition, the Japanese Kwantung Army in the northeast also belonged to the general army."
Yo Xi" Gangcun Ningji nodded with a smile, picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Yan Songjun, come and drink." ”"Hai" Iwamatsu Yoshio hurriedly responded, respectfully raising his glass.The two old devils drank it all, and then put down their glasses.Behind each of them sat a Japanese maid who hurriedly poured wine for the two of them."
Yo Xi," Iwamatsu Yoshio said with a look of admiration, "This is definitely the best wine I've ever drunk in my life." ”Okamura Ninji nodded, and said with a serious face: "That's natural, this is the imperial wine that His Majesty the Emperor personally rewarded me when I returned to Japan this time." ”"Nani" Iwamatsu Yoshio looked surprised, then nodded and said: "No wonder, the imperial wine rewarded by His Majesty the Emperor is really extraordinary, and I am also stained with the light of His Excellency the Commander, so I can have the honor to taste the imperial wine." ”Gangmura Ningji waved his hand and said: "Yan Songjun is wrong in what he said, His Majesty the Emperor's imperial wine was originally given to all the imperial warriors of my North China Dispatch Army, not to me alone, so Yan Songjun is not stained with my light, but with the light of our North China Dispatch Army." ”Iwamatsu Yoshio said with a respectful face: "His Majesty the Emperor's grace is immense, and only after his death can he repay His Majesty the Emperor's kindness." ”"Hmm" Gangmura Ningji nodded slightly, his face suddenly became serious, he looked at Iwamatsu Yoshio and said: "In the first battle of Shanxi, the imperial army suffered an unprecedented defeat, and after this battle, my Japanese Empire was disgraced, and His Majesty the Emperor was furious.However, His Majesty the Emperor was lenient and did not blame us, but ordered us to make meritorious contributions to the sin, completely defeat the people of China, recover Shanxi, and completely stabilize the order in North China.Now that the people of China have a million soldiers, they are gathered in Shanxi, Chahar and other places to prepare for a decisive battle with the imperial army, and Iwamatsu Jun can have a strategy to break the enemy" Gangcun Ningji changed his words and suddenly cut to the topic, which made Iwamatsu Yoshio's expression immediately become serious.After thinking about it with a frown, Iwamatsu Yoshio said with a serious face: "Your Excellency Commander, in my humble and humble opinion, the terrain of the Taihang Mountains is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the people of China have gathered heavy troops to garrison, although our invincible Japanese Imperial Army is not afraid, but if it launches a strong attack head-on, even if it can win and reoccupy Shanxi, it will definitely be a tragic victory, which is really the next policy." ”"Yo Xi" Okamura Ninji nodded and said: "What Iwamatsu-kun said is very true, the lives of my soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army are so precious that they must not be consumed in vain.Listening to the meaning of Iwamatsu-kun, it seems that he has a plan to break the enemy. ”Iwamatsu Yoshio pretended to be modest and said: "Your Excellency Commander Miao praised, although the humble position is dull, but he also thought of a way to recover Shanxi at the least cost. ”"Yo Xi" Gangcun Ningji smiled and nodded, and said: "Yan Songjun is worthy of being a pillar of the empire, and he is contemptible to listen to him. ”Iwamatsu Yoshio said with a respectful face: "Although the people of China have gathered more than one million troops in Shanxi, these more than one million troops include the Eighth Route Army, the Jin Sui Army and the Central Army. ”"Yo Xi" Gangcun Ningci nodded with a smile and said: "There are many factions in the Chinese army, and the warlords from all walks of life are in harmony, and it is precisely for this reason that the imperial army was able to quickly defeat China and occupy a large part of China's territory.If the people of China could really unite as one, even if the imperial army could win at the beginning, it would definitely not be so easy, and the time spent and the loss of troops would inevitably be several times higher. ”"Your Excellency Commander Hai is very right."
Iwamatsu Yoshio said with a respectful face: "Therefore, if the imperial army can make full use of this and provoke the infighting of the Zhina people, so that it will continue to suffer internal friction, then the million Zhina army in Shanxi will become a plate of scattered sand, and they will not be able to take care of themselves, and the imperial army will launch an attack at the right time, and it will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort." ”Gangcun Ningci nodded and said: "Although this plan is wonderful, I heard that the army of Shanxi Zhina is currently very harmonious, and has united to build a defense line in the Taihang Mountains to resist the imperial army together. ”Iwamatsu Yoshio explained with a smile: "The alliance of the Shina people today is nothing more than a helpless move under the pressure of our Imperial Japanese Army.If the imperial army relieves the pressure on the Shanxi Chinese army, so that the Chinese people mistakenly think that the imperial army will not counterattack Shanxi for the time being, then the Chinese people will inevitably relax their vigilance, and the imperial army will provoke at the right time, and the Chinese people who look like they will definitely turn against each other and fight each other for the territory of Shanxi, and then it will be a good opportunity for the imperial army to recover Shanxi. ”Gangcun Ningji nodded and said: "Then Iwamatsu-kun thinks where we should start as an entry point" Iwamatsu Yoshio said slightly proudly: "Jin Suijun." ”"Jin Suijun" Gangcun Ningci frowned slightly."
Hai" Iwamatsu Yoshio nodded and said: "Your Excellency Commander, I have been in China for many years, and I am a well-known branch in the army, so I should know the Yan commander of the Jin Sui Army very well" Gangcun Ningci nodded and said: "This person is a complete warlord, but he has been in Shanxi for decades, and he has always stood tall, which can be regarded as some means. ”aa2705221:
