Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 568

1941 7 Month 23 Day.

The thirteen infantry brigades that Neiji Okamura deliberately transferred into the pass from outside the pass were all wiped out, and then the heavy artillery unit that fought together was also wiped out.

However, the high-level Japanese army was not aware of this at the time, so that there were frequent battles along the Lintun and Baijin railways.

Afterwards, the national government publicized the national army's victory in the Changzhi battle in the rear, and the little devil realized that the main force sent to the Changzhi area had been wiped out.

North China Dispatch Army Command.

Ichiro Matsumoto, the head of the Japanese Army's intelligence section, put a set of information on Neiji Okamura's table: "Your Excellency, the Kwantung Army led by Mr. Imada encountered an accident in Changzhi and was completely wiped out by the National Army and the Eighth Route Army!"

"Nani?" Neiji Okamura was surprised when he heard that.

Since Yukio Imada reported that Changzhi had been occupied, the entire Changzhi area was occupied within three days. Today happened to be the third day. Neiji Okamura was waiting for good news from the front line of Changzhi, but unexpectedly he waited for a bad news.

"Impossible. The strength of Imada-kun's troops is only slightly inferior to that of a full-stacked division. They also have a heavy artillery regiment accompanying them in combat. Their combat effectiveness is even stronger than that of a division. They can attack ten times as many enemies from the front. Even if the battle is lost, it is not difficult to get out if you pay a certain price, how could it be wiped out by the Chinese?" Okamura Neiji said in disbelief as he looked at the information in his hand.

"This matter is absolutely true. The national government has published the newspaper to publicly publicize the victory of this war. It is known as the Fengtian Incident and considered it the first victory!" Matsumoto Ichiro knew that although Okamura Neiji treated his subordinates more gently on weekdays, at this time he also Don't dare to touch its mold easily.

"Your Excellency, the Chinese government may be deliberately exaggerating this matter. Mr. Imada won a preliminary victory in Changzhi. How could the situation change so quickly? It's useless to speculate. Contact Mr. Imada's radio station immediately!" said Moritake Tanabe, chief of staff of the

"Hi!" Ichiro Matsumoto replied.

"If this matter is true, how should I explain to Meijin-kun and the base camp?" Okamura Ningji slumped on a chair and muttered to himself.

In order to achieve the goal of regaining Changzhi in one fell swoop and defeating the largest military group of the national army in North China, Okamura Ningji took great pains.

The North China Dispatch Army was insufficient, so they applied for the transfer of troops from outside the customs. Before the war, they even promised Imada Yukio that they would rebuild the [-]st Division with the current strength. The vast Tainan area including Changzhi is the [-]st Division. The regiment's divisional area.

For this reason, they did not hesitate to divide Wu'an, Wuyi and other places from the defense zone of the 104th Brigade.

But Okamura Ningji never expected that it was this matter and Imada Yukio's arrogance that made Terauchi Isamu feel dissatisfied.

Although the role played by Yuuchi Terauchi could not control the balance of the battle situation, it cut off the supply of the Japanese army on the front line in terms of logistics.

And Imada Yukio also noticed Terauchi Yu's inaction, but because the logistics supplies were controlled by Terauchi Yu, he only wanted to trouble Terauchi Yu in the future.

Therefore, neither of them made the conflict public, and Neiji Okamura, who was far away in Beiping, naturally did not know about it.

After a long time, without waiting for a reply for a long time, Okamura Ningji's heart became colder and colder, and he immediately picked up the phone on the table.

"Give me the Handan order!"

And in Terauchiyong's office in Handan City, there are several delicious side dishes, a bottle of sake, and two wine glasses on Terauchiyong's desk.

Terauchiyong spilled a glass of wine opposite him on the ground with a smile on his face, and then said: "Imada-kun, you don't stay outside the pass, what do you have to do in the pass, just come to the pass, why do you come to my defense area to find something? You Come on, General Gangcun is going to take away the base camp I have been running for a long time, isn't this cutting off my money? Isn't this forcing me to do it?"

"Imata-kun, you are a true warrior of the empire, go all the way well, with so many soldiers of the empire accompanying you, you will not be alone!" When Yuu Terauchi said this, there was no trace of guilt on his face.

Infighting is common in every nation, and it is common for compatriots to fight each other because of interests.

Moreover, due to Japan's complex regional culture, there are many conflicts between each region, which were eased after the Meiji Restoration.

After that, Si Neiyong picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it down: "It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, but it's too late for me to take revenge for ten days, so happy!"

Suddenly, the red phone on the table rang, scaring Yuuchi Terauchi into a fright.

This red phone is specially used to contact the superior, and it rang at this time, which inevitably made Yuu Terauchi think too much.

Terauchi Yong patted his face and forced himself to calm down. He knew what to say to his superiors.

"Hi, I'm Yuuchi Terauchi!"

"Si Nei-kun, do you understand the current situation in Changzhi? Has Imada-kun contacted you recently!" A hurried voice mixed with anger came.

Yuu Terauchi heard the voice of Ningji Okamura immediately: "Your Excellency, Mr. Imada has only contacted me once after he led his troops out. Someone has already sent it over!"

"My 104th Brigade's garrison in Tainan took strict precautions against defending the section from Handan to Dongyangguan. No abnormalities were found, and the defenders of Dongyangguan reported information to me every day, and there were no eight around." Si Neiyong immediately realized that Maybe he slipped his mouth, and then changed his words: "No trace of China's armed forces has been found!"

"Mr. Imada may encounter an accident in Changzhi, and immediately send personnel to investigate, as soon as possible!"

"Hi!"

After hanging up the phone, Terauchiyong couldn't help laughing out loud. The ammunition and supplies transported from Handan were taken away by the Eighth Route Army, but the superior did not send a reprimanding telegram afterwards. Terauchiyong knew that the North China Dispatch Army Command was not know this.

In this way, the responsibility for the failure of the front-line battle cannot be settled on Yu Terauchi. It is obvious that Yukio Imada is not good at commanding the battle, so what does it have to do with Yu Terauchi.

Although the truth is known, Terauchiyu will naturally still do what he should do, and then he issued an order to Oki Hideo in Wu'an to immediately investigate the situation around Changzhi.

On the same day, Oki Hideo sent out several search teams, taking the Han-Chang Highway as the main line, and at the same time going deep into the hinterland, and together reconnaissance in the direction of Changzhi.

During this period, the Japanese Xinxiang Airport sent reconnaissance planes to circle the Changzhi area many times, and happened to discover the scene of the Japanese search team fighting the Eighth Route Army.

The blue sky and white sun flag raised again in Changzhi City confirmed the authenticity of the news released by the National Government, and the battle plan carefully formulated by Okamura Ningji was aborted.

The leading role was gone, and the beating of gongs and drums next to it naturally had no effect, and then the Japanese troops from all walks of life left the battle one after another, and retreated to their respective defense areas unwillingly.
