War of Resistance

Chapter 467 A bigger military operation!
Taierzhuang was in a mess, and countless national army officers and soldiers were cleaning up the corpses of their companions. As for the corpses of those Japanese soldiers, they were used to take pictures of these foreign reporters.

The city has already been almost bombed into ruins, with broken walls and ruins everywhere. Taierzhuang was first bombed several times by the Japanese army with intensive artillery fire, and then after the Japanese army took Taierzhuang, the national army dispatched a large number of planes Artillery, come to bomb Taierzhuang.

Therefore, there is almost no complete house in Taierzhuang.

The blood of the officers and soldiers of the Chinese and Japanese armies seeped into the ground, and even the ground was slightly flushed red.

The slight smell of blood and the thick smell of gunpowder blowing gently on the faces of everyone in the breeze, foreign reporters with blond hair and blue eyes who can speak fluent Chinese are standing in front of Li Zongren .

After the photographer took a bunch of photos, Li Zongren finally spoke. He said confidently and boldly in his Mandarin with a very strong Guangxi accent: "Everyone, today we have another big fight here in Taierzhuang." Victory, this is the second victory in the fifth theater after LY's victory!"

The foreign reporters were listening to Li Zongren's words, and quickly memorized what Li Zongren said with the pens in their hands. After all, these words were to be published in newspapers of the international community, and they had to be memorized.

After all, at this time, there were no such good things as TVs and live video recorders.

Facing the foreign reporters in front of him, Li Zongren had a smile on his face and was full of confidence. He said loudly: "The Republic of China, the Chinese nation, is immortal! Although Little Japan has excellent soldiers and powerful weapons, their population is not enough. The supply front line is at war. Japan is obviously exhausted. Now our anti-war heart has risen in China. The lion of the Chinese nation is about to wake up. The Japanese army was successively attacked by our army in LY and Taierzhuang A major military blow forced us to withdraw our troops, as long as we concentrate our forces throughout China and fight another battle, Japan will soon withdraw its troops!"

Li Zongren's words can be described as sonorous and powerful, full of confidence, this is what a victorious person should look like!

These foreign reporters have long been disgusted with the atrocities committed by the Japanese army in China, especially the Nanjing Massacre!

Ever since, after recording a series of speeches made by Li Zongren, these foreign reporters immediately sent the news of the military victory of the Chinese army on the front line in Taierzhuang back to their home country, hoping to get China the support of their motherland as soon as possible.

However, the ideal is very beautiful, but the reality is not necessarily so. These politicians have already made up their accounts clearly, whether they should send troops, when should they send troops, and whether they can gain political benefits by sending troops. Figured it out.

Ever since, they will not take action until their fundamental interests are touched, and they can only give some symbolic military assistance.

But these symbolic military aids are also one of the most needed materials for the national army.

With the sympathy and secret help of foreign journalists, the news about the national army's victory in Taierzhuang was immediately spread in the international community. A big win.

As soon as the news reached Wuhan, students, workers and peasants in Wuhan, as well as people from all walks of life held a grand celebration parade, which lasted for three days.

The scale of the parade is very grand, just like the Chinese New Year.

The news of the international community was so widely broadcast, which naturally attracted the attention of the Japanese side.

As the commander of the Japanese North China Front Army, General Toshiichi Terauchi, commanded troops to cross the Jinan military stop line established by the domestic staff headquarters, the fifth division and the tenth division of the main force of the Japanese standing division suffered major military defeats. Public opinion was uproarious.

After all, this is the first time that the Japanese army has suffered such a major military defeat since the Sino-Japanese War of [-]-[-]. This is a cold water pouring over Japan's swelled heart for military expansion...

If you don’t believe me, the Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War ended with Japan’s victory; the Russo-Japanese War ended with Japan’s victory; During the battle, the Japanese army captured Shanghai, and also fought the Battle of Nanjing, and occupied the capital of China.

Just under these scenes of seemingly military prosperity, Terauchi Shouichi, the commander of the North China Front Army, unexpectedly fought such a big defeat!
More than 2 people were lost, but nearly 3 people were lost. Among them, the [-]th Division of Isoya Rensuke, the standing division, was nearly disabled, and more than half of the [-]th Division, known as the "Steel Army", was also lost. , An arm was cut off directly!

Calculated in this way, the Japanese North China Front Army failed in this battle, but the loss was too great, and the second army built by Hisao Nishio was directly disabled.

Beiping, Temple Shouichi's North China Front Army Command.

The location is the commander's office of Juichi in Terauchi.

"Snapped!"

Accompanied by the sound of glass shattering, a fine white porcelain teacup was instantly smashed to pieces, wet tea dregs and warm water splashed all over the floor, leaving a mess on the floor.

"Baga! Baga! Baga!!!"

Shouyi in the temple was cursing hysterically, and his face was full of ferocity. The huge military defeat of Taierzhuang and LY was a slap in the face.

And it was a very loud slap, and it was slapped in front of everyone in the international community, including their Japanese citizens. How could this not make him angry?

This slap was too loud for him. Even if he was one of the leaders of the ruling faction, he couldn't take it anymore. The impact was too great.

"Your Excellency, Commander, please don't be angry! It's useless to be angry. You need to take care of your health. I think we should formulate the next battle plan to save the face of our North China Front Army!" Chief of Staff Naozaburo Okabe said seriously.

To be honest, this battle was lost, not because General Toshiichi Terauchi had no face, but Naozaburo Okabe also had an ugly face.

Lieutenant General Naozaburo Okabe, who is also one of the main military officers of the North China Front Army, is assisting General Hisashi Terauchi in formulating and adjusting the battle plan. One and a half divisions have basically lost their responsibility, and he, Naozaburo Okabe, can't escape either.

It's just that compared to the fury of General Kotobuki in Terauchi, Naozaburo Okabe seemed much calmer. After all, the loudest slap didn't hit his face completely, so he still wasn't in a state of complete rage, although he was still angry. But by no means so angry.

Authorities are fans, but bystanders are clear. This analogy may not be appropriate, but Naozaburo Okabe, who is half of the parties involved, is much clearer than Juichi Terauchi, one of the complete parties.

"Okabe-kun! Tell me, how can we restore the balance of this battle!" Terauchi Shouichi looked at Naozaburo Okabe in anger.

"Your Excellency, Commander, I think that if the shame of this battle needs to be washed away, it must be washed away with a bigger victory! Therefore, I think we should plan a bigger military operation to win the victory , perhaps, the military power of our North China Front Army alone is not enough..." Naozaburo Okabe said meaningfully, as a qualified chief of staff, what he has to do is to let the chief military officer decide, so that It is not ultra vires.

Hearing this, Terauchi Shouichi immediately calmed down, and he immediately understood what Naozaburo Okabe meant, and he said, "Okabe-kun, what you mean is that the Nakachina Dispatch Army of the Sixth General Hata Toshi is going to be united. (That is, the Central China Front Army, the Japanese direct translation means this) and then fight? You first talk about your thoughts!"

"Your Excellency, Commander, I believe that we should continue to carry out a major attack on the enemy's troops in Xuzhou in conjunction with the Central China Front Army of General Hata Toshi. Wuhan, where the hub of the central government is located, will carry out a violent attack! Only in this way can it work!" Naozaburo Okabe said viciously.

After listening to Naozaburo Okabe's opinion, Terauchi Shouichi nodded slightly, and then added: "I think our action should be bigger, and we should dispatch the main force of the North China Front Army, together with the Central China Dispatched Army of the Sixth General Hata Toshi The main force is to strive to annihilate the Chinese army in Xuzhou in one fell swoop. Only in this way can we wash away our humiliation and win a military victory against China in the shortest possible time. By then, it will be easy to take Wuhan !"

"Hay! Your Excellency, Commander, is wise. This is what we should do so that we can wash away our humiliation to the greatest extent and wipe out all the Chinese troops in Xuzhou!" Naozaburo Okabe responded loudly.

"You go to make a battle plan right away, and after you finish the plan, I will go to talk with Hata Toshiroku!" Terauchi Shouichi said harshly.
