Chapter 1646: Embarrassed


In the headquarters of the Japanese Kwantung Army in Changchun, the commander of the Kwantung Army, General Yamada Otosan, looked at the sand table in front of him with a frown, with a trace of worry on his face.Chief of Staff Yoshimoto Sadachi pointed to the sand table and said with a serious face: "According to the intelligence recently detected by the imperial army, the main force of the seventh column of the Eighth Route Army has advanced eastward successively, and there seem to be signs of launching a counteroffensive against the imperial army.Among them, the newly formed first division of the seventh column of the Eighth Route Army has arrived near the Weng Niute Banner, from the north to Chifeng; The new 2nd Division has arrived near the Left Banner of Bahrain; The new 3rd Division has already arrived near the Zalut Banner, the armored division has also rushed to the vicinity of Kundu Town, and the new 4th Division has rushed to the territory of Tuquan County. ”Yamada Otozo's brows furrowed even deeper when he heard this, although the last time the Kwantung Army successfully defeated the Eighth Route Army and reoccupied Tongliao, it did not eliminate the main force of the Seventh Column in one fell swoop, Yamada Otozo had already expected that the Seventh Column of the Eighth Route Army would inevitably resurrect and make a comeback.But Yamada Otozo really didn't expect that this day would come so quickly.Yamada Otozo frowned and said with a cautious expression: "These hateful dirt eight roads, the vitality is too tenacious, like weeds, if you can't uproot them, you can't completely wipe them out." ”"Your Excellency Commander Hai is very right."

Yoshimoto said respectfully: "In addition to the main force of the seventh column of the Eighth Route Army, the other Eighth Route Army is also ready to move.Among them, the independent third division of the Heilongjiang Military Region of the Eighth Route Army gathered some local anti-Japanese forces, including the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation and even some bandit anti-Japanese forces, totaling more than 20,000 people, gathered near Ulanhot.In addition, the Second Independent Division of the Jilin Military Region of the Eighth Route Army also gathered more than 20,000 people and gathered in the area of Laoyeling near Dunhua.The 1st Independent Division of the Liaoning Military Region of the Eighth Route Army gathered more than 30,000 people and gathered in the mountains east of Tieling, constantly attacking the nearby Imperial Army and the garrison of the Imperial Allied Army, posing a great threat to the Imperial Army. ”"Baga Yalu" Yamada Otozo gritted his teeth and scolded angrily, frowning and saying with a worried face: "I didn't expect that in less than a year, the situation in Manchuria would deteriorate to such a point.If we can't annihilate all these Tubalu routes that have infiltrated Manchuria as soon as possible, Manchuria will soon become the second North China. ”"Your Excellency Commander Hai is wise."

Yoshimoto Sadachi responded respectfully, and then said with a worried look on his face: "It's just that the Eighth Route Army is relatively scattered this time, and it seems that there is no intention of a head-on battle with the imperial army." ”"Hmph" Yamada Otozo couldn't help but snort coldly, and said with a smug face: "After three encirclements and suppressions, where do you still have the courage to fight head-on with the imperial army, they disperse their forces and attack from all sides, which seems to be menacing, but in fact, it is just thunder and rain."

Their real intention was nothing more than to constantly harass small groups of imperial troops and constantly consume the strength of the imperial army, so as to achieve their goal of accumulating small victories into big victories. ”"Hai is just this strategy of the Eighth Route Army, which is really difficult to deal with.The Imperial Army had been occupying North China for several years, and it was with this strategy that the Eighth Route Army made the Imperial Army so overwhelmed that the Imperial Army had not been able to wipe out all of these Eight Roads over the years, but had gradually developed and strengthened the Eighth Route Army. ”Yoshimoto said with a worried look on his face.Yamada Otozo frowned and said proudly: "Manchuria is not North China, and our Kwantung Army is not the North China Dispatch Army.Tubalu scattered his forces, thinking that in this way he could disrupt the deployment of the imperial army and achieve its goal of gradually depleting the imperial army.I don't know that this will give the imperial army a chance to break through, as long as the imperial army seizes this opportunity, it will definitely be able to annihilate this group of hateful earth eight roads in one fell swoop. ”"Your Excellency Commander Hai is wise."

Yoshimoto Sadachi replied respectfully, although Yoshimoto Sadaichi didn't think that he could really clean up this group of Eighth Route Army so easily, but seeing Yamada Otozo's sworn appearance, it was not good to discourage the enthusiasm of His Excellency the commander.Although Yamada Otozo, an old devil, has served in China for many years, he has no experience in fighting with the Eighth Route Army before serving as the commander of the Kwantung Army, so he really doesn't know much about the old devil of the Eighth Route Army.After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War in 1937, Yamada Otozo was transferred to the Kwantung Army and successively served as the commander of the 12th Division and the commander of the Third Army of the Kwantung Army.During his tenure, this old devil commanded the Japanese puppet army to frantically suppress the anti-Japanese armed forces in the northeast, and accumulated a lot of military merits for him.In December 1938, Yamada succeeded Shunroku Hata as commander of the Central China Dispatch Army, where he performed mediocrely and was transferred back to Japan a few months later as director of education.This old devil can be regarded as Tojo Hideki's sworn friend, and the two old devils are in cahoots, although according to seniority, Tojo Hideki is his junior.However, when he was in the Kwantung Army, Hideki Tojo was the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army and the superior of Yamada Otozo.Since then, this old devil has relied on Hideki Tojo and become his sworn friend, bowing down to Hideki Tojo.Hideki Tojo made his fortune in the Kwantung Army and successively served as Vice Minister of the Army and Minister of the Army.It was also under the strong recommendation of Hideki Tojo that Yamada Otozo finally became the commander of the Kwantung Army.At that time, Hideki Tojo was in full swing in the Japanese government, and the call for this war maniac to form a cabinet was very high, and Hideki Tojo also knew the importance of the Kwantung Army, and of course arranged a trustworthy candidate in this position, and Yamada Otozo became the most important candidate.It was also with the help of Yamada Otozo that Hideki Tojo finally succeeded in forming a cabinet and became the new prime minister.In his opinion, the Eighth Route Army and the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army were not much stronger than the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army back then, but they were just a group of rabble.In the last time the Japanese army encircled and suppressed the Eighth Route Army, although the Kwantung Army suffered heavy losses, it finally defeated the Eighth Route Army and successfully occupied Chifeng, Tongliao and other places.Yamada Otozo looked down at the sand table, smiled and said: "Yoshimoto-kun, which one do you think we should deal with first?"

Yoshimoto Sadachi frowned slightly, thought about it carefully, and then said with a respectful face: "I think that the scattered Dirt Eight Roads are not to be feared, as long as the Imperial Army can eliminate the main force of the Seventh Column of the Eighth Route Army, it will be much easier to deal with the Dirt Eight Roads in other places."

Therefore, I thought that this time we could take this new first division first. ”"Yo Xi" Yamada Otozo smiled and nodded and said: "Yoshimoto-kun is worthy of being a pillar of the empire, and your ideas coincide with the contemptible people, then we will deal with this new first division first."

Then find a way to annihilate the main forces of the seventh column of the Eighth Route Army one by one. ”aa2705221:
