"Your Excellency Commander Hai is very right."
Yoshimoto said respectfully.When Umezu Mijiro was still in office, in order to alleviate the problem of insufficient Japanese troops, he began to expand the Imperial Allied Army in the Northeast, so that the puppet army in the Northeast expanded to 200,000 in a short period of time.However, the pace of troop expansion is too rapid to form an effective combat force.What's more, these people who participated in the puppet army may not be all hardcore traitors who are willing to serve the Japanese, most of them are just trying to make ends meet.In recent times, there have been more than 20,000 puppet troops in various places, and they have directly surrendered to the Eighth Route Army anyway, especially this Chaoyang, the puppet army is the most serious anyway, which directly led to the Eighth Route Army taking the opportunity to capture Chaoyang and the destruction of the 11th Division of the Japanese Army.At this time, the situation on the battlefield in Liaoning was not good, Yamada Otozo was already anxious, and such a thing happened, this old devil was naturally furious, and put all the responsibility on these puppet soldiers who defected."
Hmph" Yamada Otozo couldn't help but snort coldly, and said with an angry face: "If I knew this, I should have killed all these hateful Shina people." ”"Your Excellency Commander Hai is very right."
Yoshimoto knew that the old guy was angry, so he followed him in everything.After thinking about it, he said: "Your Excellency, your Excellency, Liaoning is in an emergency now, and we must send troops to support Liaoning as soon as possible."
If Jinzhou is lost, it will be extremely unfavorable to the imperial army. ”"How many imperial troops are there in Jinzhou at the moment," Yamada Otozo asked with a frown."
Report to Your Excellency Commander, from Jinzhou to Shanhaiguan, the imperial army has only one division of troops.Although the Imperial Army had complete fortifications, it was difficult for the Eighth Route Army to capture Jinzhou or Shanhaiguan for the time being.However, after all, the Eighth Route Army has concentrated more than 200,000 troops, and according to the latest reconnaissance, the Eighth Route Army is still continuously increasing troops to the Liaoning front, and once the Eighth Route Army encircles Jinzhou and besieges Jinzhou for a long time, it is only a matter of time before Jinzhou is captured.Therefore, he thought that the imperial army should have prepared in advance. ”Yoshimoto replied respectfully."
Hmm" Yamada Otozo nodded noncommittally, frowned and said with a hesitant face: "However, at this time, the war in Qiqihar has developed to the most critical moment, after these few days of fierce fighting, the spirit of the Eighth Route Army has been exhausted, and the seventh column at this time is already at the end of the crossbow, and now is a good opportunity to annihilate them all in Qiqihar." ”"Hai" Yoshimoto Sadachi responded respectfully, and then said with a serious face: "Although so, judging from the current situation, Qiqihar's Eighth Route Army is obviously deliberately delaying time to buy time for the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Liaoning.Judging from the current situation, if the imperial army wants to eliminate this earthy eight roads, I am afraid that it will not be a task that can be completed in a day or two.Moreover, Qiqihar is thousands of miles away from Jinzhou, and it will take time for the troops to move south. ”Yamada Otozo's brows furrowed even deeper when he heard this, which was what he was most worried about, otherwise he wouldn't have to hesitate."
Your Excellency, Commander, I think that although the main force of the Seventh Column is important, the safety of Jinzhou is even more important.What's more, no matter how big the threat of the seventh column is, I'm afraid it is not as big as the threat of the main force of the Eighth Route Army," Yoshimoto Sadachi persuaded again.Yamada Otozo nodded and said, "Yoshimoto-kun has a point.And I estimate that at this time, the seventh column of the Eighth Route Army has no strength to fight back.It should not be necessary to leave so many troops, it will be enough to deal with them. ”"Your Excellency Commander Hai is wise.Even if the main force of the Seventh Column cannot be completely annihilated this time, after the Imperial Army defeats the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Liaoning, it can go back and slowly clean them up. ”Yoshimoto Sadaichi replied respectfully."
Yo Xi, then it's decided" Yamada Otozo nodded and said: "Immediately send an order, order the 7th Division, the 14th Division, and the 71st Division to immediately move south and quickly support Liaoning."
The rest of the troops continued to attack Qiqihar, but they must be cautious, gradually depleting the forces of Tubalu, and then annihilating them in one fell swoop. ”"Your Excellency Commander Hai is wise."
Yoshimoto replied respectfully, turned around and hurried to deliver the order.The next day, in Qiqihar, the headquarters of the seventh column, Li Guotao got up early, and came to the command hall without having breakfast.Ma Zhenguo saw Li Guotao coming, and greeted him with a smile.Li Guotao frowned slightly, and said with a smile: "Look at your expression, it seems that there is something good" Ma Zhenguo said with a smile: "I can't hide anything from your eyes."
After the Japanese broke through the Taylor line, they suddenly slowed down their offensive.At present, only this 10th division is the most active and has rushed to the vicinity of Jiangqiao.The 7th Division, the 14th Division and other units are still in Tailai County.And on the Eastern Front, there was no offensive early in the morning like in the previous days, and the little devils seemed to be adjusting their deployment. ”Li Guotao couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and said with a serious face: "At this critical moment, this move of the Japanese army is indeed a bit abnormal.It stands to reason that they are anxious to support Liaoning, and they should strengthen their offensive and strive to end the war in Qiqihar as soon as possible, and now" Speaking of this, Li Guotao stopped, frowned and fell into deep thought.Ma Zhenguo smiled and said: "So I guess that the devil may want to directly transfer troops to support Liaoning, and the main force of my Eighth Route Army is progressing too smoothly in Liaoning, this Yamada Otozo can't sit still anymore, and plans to directly transfer troops to support the Liaoning battlefield." ”"Well, in the current situation, that's a huge possibility."
Li Guotao nodded and said."
But if the main force of the Japanese army really goes south, although our danger is lifted, it may not be a good thing for the main force of the Eighth Route Army," Ma Zhenguo said with a helpless sigh.Li Guotao nodded with a serious face and said, "I guess that this Yamada Otsuzo will not transfer all the main forces to Liaoning."
The little devil finally surrounded us in Qiqihar, and now the war is going well, how can Yamada Otozo give up easily, but as the old saying goes, you can't have both fish and bear's paws, this Yamada Otozo is too greedy, he wants to destroy us, but also wants to relieve the crisis in Liaoning, and in the end he can only use the bamboo basket to fight for nothing, and he can't get anything. ”aa2705221:
