War of Resistance

Chapter 519

After finishing writing this page, Terauchi Shouichi opened a memo in front of him.

After opening this memo, the handwriting on it is still quite new. Looking at the date on it, it is yesterday!

If someone who knows how to read Japanese is nearby, you will find that all the information on it is the current situation of the divisions of the First Army of the North China Front Army, including details of personnel, weapons and equipment rationing, and garrison.

Terauchi Shou held a pencil in one hand, searched and compared it repeatedly, and finally ticked behind the No.14 Division.

After ticking the memorandum, Toshiichi Terauchi picked up the landline in front of him and said, "Mexi, I'm Juichi Terauchi, immediately call the chief of staff, Major General Naozaburo Okabe, to my office. He has something to say, right now."

"Hay." The other side of the phone responded.

Soon, Major General Naozaburo Okabe, Chief of Staff of the North China Front, came to Shouichi's office in Terauchi.

"Your Excellency, Commander, are you looking for me?" Okabe Naozaburo asked after entering.

"Sit down! Okabe-kun, you are also my right-hand man. Over the years, you have helped me do a lot of things and made a lot of outstanding achievements. This time I called you over because I wanted to It's a matter of discussion, and it's about our North China Front Army's further battle plan." Terauchi Shouichi said very seriously.

"Your Excellency, Commander, if you have anything to do, you can just say it directly. As long as Okabe can do it, he will definitely go through fire and water, and he will do whatever he wants!" Naozaburo Okabe stood at attention and said, he is a loyal follower of Juichi in Terauchi, and he can It can be said to be a loyal follower, and a very capable loyal follower!
"Okabe-kun, please sit down! Let me ask you, what do you think of Kenji Doihara?" Terauchi Shouichi said seriously, but his eyes narrowed slightly.

Naozaburo Okabe was not polite to General Juichi Terauchi, he opened the chair in front of Juichi Terauchi and sat down, then said seriously: "Kenji Doihara is a rookie in the Imperial Intelligence Agency. He has made a lot of contributions to the Kwantung Army, and this person also planned the establishment of 'Manchukuo', in terms of intelligence agencies, he is an absolute talent, but his military talents are not known."

Terauchi Shouyi pondered for a while, and said: "Indeed, Doihara-kun is indeed a genius in intelligence, but he is also a talent who graduated from Lu Shi and Imperial Army University. I want to entrust him with an important task. I just don't know him. Can it be done?"

After thinking about it for a while, Naozaburo Okabe asked, "What task does your Excellency Commander want to entrust to Doihara-kun?"

Terauchi Shouichi smiled and said, "What kind of mission is it? It doesn't matter. The important thing is that I want to hear your opinion on Mr. Doihara Kenji."

Naozaburo Okabe thought for a while, and then said very carefully: "Kenji Doihara, he was transferred to a military post in Showa 11 (Showa 11, that is, 1936), and he was the left-behind commander of the First Division at that time Officer. He served as the head of the No.12 division in Showa 14, and it has been more than a year now. From the perspective of his humble position, Doihara-kun can take on important tasks. Besides, Doi Mr. Yuan is a well-known "China hand" in the intelligence agencies of the empire, so you can trust him to carry out important tasks. Maybe there will be better results."

After hearing the words, Terauchi Shouichi finally nodded in satisfaction, and said: "Now I want to temporarily form a mobile force within the First Army based on the No. 14 Division, so as to reinforce the operations on the northern section of Jinpu Road at any time. "

"The mobile force of the First Army? But according to the will of the General Staff Headquarters and our North China Front Army, it is not the First Army of Lord Xiangyue Qing as the main force, which will maneuver to face the Second Theater of the Chinese Army Yan Xishan and their First Army." Is it a war zone? If we take away the main division of the First Army, will it shake the front line?" Naozaburo Okabe asked anxiously.

"It's impossible to shake things up. The two group armies under Yan Xishan's command, together with the poorly equipped Eighth Route Army, can't have a huge impact on our frontline. Keep a No. 20 division and add another The mixed No.11 brigade stationed there is enough to deal with all the incidents!" Terauchi Shouichi said confidently.

"Okay! Since Your Excellency the Commander is so confident, Okabe can only choose to believe in the Commander's judgment. This battle must be prosperous!" Naozaburo Okabe patted a big horse without any concealment. fart.

"Nonsense, let's stop talking. You and I are old buddies too. If you have something to say, it's fine." Terauchi Shouichi said sternly, obviously he had already heard that Naozaburo Okabe was not very satisfied with this plan.

"Then Okabe would like to know, what is the commander's plan?" Okabe Naozaburo said bluntly.

"I plan to use the No.14 division as the backbone to strengthen two heavy artillery regiments and a tank squadron to form a mobile force within the First Army to support Xuzhou operations at any time." Terauchi Shouichi said in a deep voice.

"It can be established, but it must not be attacked immediately at this time, otherwise the chiefs of the staff headquarters will be more suspicious of us. We must get the combat order from the base camp before we act." Gang Nao Saburo said.

"No need, there are already enough attacks on me in the country. I suspect that I, the commander, will not be able to do that at that time, so it is necessary to set up a mobile combat force as soon as possible, and then gather and stand by at any time, put it on the battlefield, and participate in the encirclement and annihilation of China. In the battle of the main force of the fifth theater of the army, the previous shame must be washed away!" Temple Shouyi said harshly.

After seeing Terauchi Shouichi's determination again, Okabe Naozaburo finally understood that the Commander-in-Chief has already made up his mind at this time, and it is impossible to change his mind even with persuasion.

So, Naozaburo Okabe took a deep breath, stood up and saluted, and said loudly: "Since Your Excellency Commander has made up his mind, Naozaburo Okabe will definitely follow His Excellency Commander and fight the enemy to the end! Long-lasting martial arts!"

Shouyi in the temple also got up, returned a military salute, and said in a deep voice: "The martial arts will last forever!"

So, just like that, Kenji Doihara, the No.14 Division of the Japanese Army on the south bank of the Yellow River, was given this important task. A mobile division with very fierce combat power is gradually taking shape!

……

Looking at the national army, the front line is still fighting in full swing, but it is not generally lively. Countless officers and soldiers of the Northwest Army are pouring into the city to fight the Japanese army!

Seeing that the situation is so critical, Isoya Rensuke has already sent a telegram to the commander of the Second Army, Hisao Nishio, more than once.

After all, General Shou in the temple couldn't be too urgent, if he was too urgent, it would be useless.Besides, what if after the war, Commander Terauchi Shouichi doubted his military ability?Wouldn't that be a disadvantage?

Therefore, Isoya Rensuke can only harass and harass Lieutenant General Nishio Hiso, after all, Lieutenant General Nishio Hiso is the backbone of the Kodo faction, and he can only hope that the Tenth Division is the Kodo faction. And the second lair of the young faction, it is necessary to desperately save it.

"Division Commander, I think that it is not yet the time to die. The enemy has just invaded the city, but we still have a considerable force. As long as we don't take the initiative to attack and trade space for time, we can survive for a day or two. I'm afraid it won't be true. It's difficult. One or two days is enough for our troops in Zaozhuang and Shuiguo to rescue them." Chief of Staff of the [-]th Division Tsutsuki Tsuki said to Division Chief Rensuke Isoya.

At this time, Rensuke Isotani was already ready to die, but when he heard what Tsutsumi said, he immediately felt that it made sense.

So, Isoya Rensuke said: "What the chief of staff said is very true, so be it! Perhaps, the officers above are using us as bait to make a center blossom?"
