Gangmura Ningji frowned slightly, and said with some impatience: "I will personally send a telegram to the Kwantung Army Headquarters, and at the same time send a telegram to the Chinese Dispatch Army Headquarters, requesting Your Excellency the Commander to contact the Kwantung Army, I believe that the Kwantung Army will definitely send troops to support us." ”Hirata Masacan frowned and said, "Your Excellency, Commander, this is not what you are worried about.Our North China Dispatch Army is subordinate to the Chinese Dispatch Army, and it does not belong to the same general army as the Kwantung Army, and we ask the Kwantung Army for help, isn't it?"
Hirata Masaju said this, and did not continue to speak, he believed that the cleverness of Okamura Ninji would definitely be able to understand what he meant.Hearing this, Gangmura Ningji's brows furrowed even deeper, and he said with a serious face: "Whether it is the Kwantung Army or the North China Dispatch Army, they are all imperial troops loyal to His Majesty the Emperor.Do you think that our face is more important, or is the dignity of our Imperial Japanese Army more important?
”"Hai is a humble speech, and I hope that His Excellency the Commander will forgive him" Hirata Masashi saw that Gangmura Ningji was angry, and hurriedly bowed his head and confessed."
Hmph" Gangmura Ningji snorted coldly and said: "The imperial army was defeated in the eastern Hebei region, and those Chinese people and the Western media will only say that our Imperial Japanese Army is incompetent, and will not just accuse us of sending troops to North China, because for them, whether it is the Kwantung Army or the North China Dispatch Army, they are all Imperial Japanese Army, and they don't distinguish between each other at all." ”Hirata Masa dared to say anything more, so he could only bow his head obediently.Gangmura Ningji glanced at Hirata Masashi with cold eyes, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and said with a serious face: "This matter is done, the imperial army is besieging on three sides, this time we must annihilate the seventh column of the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop." ”"Hai" Hirata bowed down to receive the order, and quickly turned around to deliver the order.That night, Li Guotao stood on the tower of the north city of Tangshan, watching the trucks full of various materials under the city slowly drive out of the city gate and disappear into the darkness in the distance.Behind the trucks, there were horse-drawn carts, ox carts, and even trolleys, which were also loaded with a large number of materials, and left Tangshan City in an orderly manner.Not only large trucks and small vehicles, but also under the mobilization of the Eighth Route Army, many people even came to Tangshan City with only one flat pole, and used the flat pole to carry all kinds of materials and move towards Zunhua.Political Commissar Meng, who was standing next to him, sighed softly and said: "So far, we have organized nearly 100,000 people to transfer materials, and mobilized all vehicles that can transport materials to forcibly transport materials, but there are too many materials in Tangshan City.In addition, it is very difficult to transport some large machinery and equipment, so it may be difficult to transport all these materials in a short time. ”Li Guotao nodded slightly, expressing understanding, and then asked with a serious face: "Judging from the current situation, how long will it take you guys." ”"It will take at least five days," Commissar Meng said after a moment's hesitation."
Five days" Li Guotao couldn't help frowning, reached out and took out the cigarette case, took out a cigarette and handed it to Political Commissar Meng, he also took out a cigarette and lit it, spit out a mouthful of white mist in his mouth, shook his head and said: "Five days is too long, it is best to transfer all the materials within three days."
Of course we will try to delay as much as possible, but we also hope that you will be able to make the most of it. ”Political Commissar Meng nodded and said, "I understand, we will definitely try to hurry up."
It's just that you can really delay the little devil for three days, I heard that the main force of the 27th Division of the Japanese Army has moved north and approached Tangshan, in addition to this, the Japanese army has also dispatched a division and an independent mixed brigade to rush to Beiping, from Beiping to Tangshan to attack. ”Li Guotao smiled and said: "The matter of the war will be handed over to me, and your main task now is to transfer supplies."
If the war is not fought well, you can hold me accountable, or even remove me from my post, I have nothing to say.But if you can't move the supplies as soon as possible, you will be responsible. ”Hearing this, Political Commissar Meng nodded with a smile and said, "Seeing that you look confident now, I am relieved." ”Li Guotao shook his head with a smile and said: "The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and no one can be sure of victory, but I have the belief that we will win, and I believe that we will be able to win." ”Political Commissar Meng nodded, took a puff of cigarette, and said slowly: "I also believe that we will be able to win." ”Early the next morning, while Li Guotao was having breakfast, the roar of an airplane suddenly sounded in the sky, followed by a string of bombs falling in Tangshan City, producing a deafening explosion."
Damn" Li Guotao couldn't help scolding, looked up, and just saw a devil plane passing through the air, eager to shoot it down with a gun, although Li Guotao suppressed the anger in his heart, but he was not in the mood to continue eating, got up and hurriedly walked towards the headquarters.As soon as Li Guotao walked into the gate of the headquarters, Ma Zhenguo hurriedly greeted him, frowned and said worriedly: "Commander, I just received news that the 28th Division of the Japanese Army and the 21st Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade have left Beiping one after another and are advancing in the direction of Tangshan from the west.Yesterday evening, the main force of the newly formed 1st Brigade and the cavalry brigade had been transferred to the front line of Yutian to deploy defenses to assist the new 5th Brigade and the main force of the Eastern Hebei Army Division, preparing to block the Japanese army. ”Li Guotao nodded and said: "Appoint Changde as the commander-in-chief of the Western Front, responsible for the unified command of all troops on the Western Front, and tell him to stop this little devil at all costs." ”"Yes" Ma Zhenguo nodded and said: "Although there are a division of the 27th Division of the Japanese Army on the southern front, the new Second Brigade of our army has already arranged a defensive line, and with the support of the New Third Brigade at any time, it should not be a big problem to block this little devil."
The Japanese army launched an attack early this morning, but it was only a tentative attack, and it was already repulsed by our troops. ”Li Guotao nodded and said: "The 27th Division will only launch a general attack after waiting for the arrival of the main Japanese force on the Western Front, but we can't take it lightly before that. ”Ma Zhenguo nodded, and then frowned and said: "The problem of the southern and western fronts should not be big, and now the most difficult thing is the northern front, according to reliable information, the Japanese army in Shanhaiguan is gathering on a large scale, and it seems to have the intention of going south." ”Li Guotao couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and said with a worried face: "It seems that the Kwantung Army is going to send troops, and we really underestimate this Gangcun Ningci." ”aa2705221:
