()安冈正臣是ri本鹿儿岛县人，1914年11月毕业于ri本陆军大学第26期。毕业后曾担任陆军省军务局科员、步兵一大队大队长、第九师团参谋、歩兵第29联队付、第16师团参谋、歩兵第49联队长、第五师团参谋长，1935年3月晋升陆军少将。

When the Japanese army launched an all-out war of aggression against China, Masao Yasuoka was serving as the principal of the Army Tank School in Tokyo. Later, an order from the Ministry of the Army transferred him to the battle sequence of the Kwantung Army as the chief of staff of the Chahar Dispatched Corps.

After Sakai Koji was killed, Hideki Tojo reported to the base camp, hoping that Masao Yasuoka would serve as the brigade commander of the du li mixed first brigade.The base camp had no objection to this, and immediately agreed to Hideki Tojo's request.

As soon as Masao Yasuoka took office, he went to the Du Li Mixed First Brigade to check on his subordinates, but what made Yasuo Masato angry was that the formerly famous Chinese Garrison Du Li Mixed First Brigade was now only an empty shelf Of the more than 8000 soldiers, only less than [-] remained. Of the five infantry brigades, only two remnant brigades remained, and the rest were all wiped out.The casualties of the officers were even more severe. In addition to the brigade commander being killed, even the only army officer in the first brigade du li was killed. Four of the nine major officers died, and the lieutenants and sergeants also died. Du Li mixed into the first brigade, which is considered disabled. If the flag of the brigade is not still there, otherwise, the brigade will be removed from the battle order of the Japanese Imperial Army.

What made Masao Yasuoka even more disturbing was that the fighting spirit of the soldiers who were mixed into the first brigade was extremely low. Even he, an outsider, could feel the suffocating sadness and deep fear from the soldiers.

He saw that it was still the Imperial Japanese Army he knew, and it was still the once invincible Kwantung Army, it was just a remnant soldier who had lost his soul.

Therefore, as the new commander of this army, his first task is not how to avenge this army, but to reinvigorate these soldiers who have lost their confidence.

This is a difficult task. This is not a car tire. When it is flat, find an air pump and fill it up after a few strokes.No, an army that has lost its fighting spirit is a tiger that has lost its teeth and claws. It looks powerful but is actually a soft-legged shrimp.Only victory, a hearty victory, can restore the fighting spirit of this army.

"General Yasuoka, we are not very sure about the number of this Chinese army, but at least we can be sure that this army has a complete infantry regiment, which is a regular-trained army. In addition, we have also detected that this army once A large number of Chinese bandits were captured, the number should be about 3000. The whereabouts of these bandits are unknown, and they may have been recruited. In this way, the Chinese army should have at least 6000 people. The commander of the army is Chen Feng, no Received systematic military education, only studied in junior high school, did not obtain a diploma. The deputy commander is called Li Wensheng, and he is about 30 years old. The other circumstances are not clear." Mr. Pingyuan Ei replied as he got up.

"It's no wonder that the imperial army will suffer a lot this time. This Chinese army is not only equipped with excellent weapons and equipment, but also has far more numbers than the imperial army expected. According to the establishment of the Chinese security regiment, a security regiment will not exceed 1000 at most. people, but there are 5000 more people in this army, and the imperial army underestimated the enemy, so it is understandable that they were caught off guard by this army." Masao Yasuoka said.

"Yoshi, Yasuoka-kun is right, but that's not why we lost this battle. If we lose, we lose. If we lose, it's our shame. If it's shame, we have to wash it away with the blood of the enemy." Abe Kisame The general in the show said loudly.

"Hay! I agree with His Excellency Abe's opinion. The shame must be washed away with the blood and heads of the enemy." Masao Yasuoka said loudly.

"Gentlemen, according to the latest information obtained by our special high-tech department, although China's leader Jiang and Yan Xishan of Taiyuan value this China's army very much, they did not give this army much supplementary materials. This army allocated more than a thousand rifles and more than one hundred thousand silver dollars in military pay, although the soldiers promised to give some supplements, but in fact there is still no movement so far, so this army can only be less than six thousand." Ping Yuan. Rong Yi said loudly.

"Oh, there is such a thing. In the battle of Tianzhen, our Great Japanese Imperial Army suffered heavy losses. More than 1 soldiers were lost successively. Among them, 5000 Imperial Army and more than 5000 Imperial Association Army were lost in Chen Feng. In the hands of the troops. Isn’t there an old saying in China that kills 3000 enemies and loses [-]. Even if the losses of Chen Feng’s troops were not so serious, they still lost at least three to [-] people in the battle of Tianzhen. There will be more than [-] people," said Major General Seiichiro Uhara.

"Not necessarily so. On the one hand, it is because this Chinese army is very different from other Chinese troops. They are far more cunning than other Chinese troops we know. Needless to say, the generals should have a deep understanding of this. Secondly, this force has just been appointed as the guard force of Xinghe, Fengzhen, Shangdu, Jining and other places. It turns out that the garrison forces of these counties were all assigned to the command of Du Li 222 Division. Therefore, the current number of people under Chen Feng's troops should be only More than before, not less than before the battle of Tianzhen." Pingyuan Rongyi said loudly.

"Yoxi, Mr. Pingyuan, do you know anything about the guards in those Chinese counties?" Hideki Tojo asked.

"Yes Your Excellency, although our special high-tech task is to collect information about officers at the rank of Chinese division or above the rank of major general, since the appearance of this unit led by Chen Feng, we have realized how powerful the Chinese people are, so for the nearby The Chinese local troops in several districts and counties were also included in the investigation targets. The security regiment of Shangdu County only had more than 500 people, and its weapons and equipment were extremely simple. There is a complete infantry battalion with about 1000 people. Although the weapons and equipment are simple, the combat effectiveness of the troops is not bad. According to reliable information, the head of this security regiment was once a head of the Northwest Army of China. The Jining security regiment has about [-] people, and its weapons and equipment are slightly better than the other two security regiments, but their regiment leader is not a qualified soldier. He runs a local smoking den and hospital, and also sells opium in private. There are quite a few soldiers who smoked opium, so this army is not a big threat to the imperial army." Ping Yuan Rongyi replied.

"Yo Xi, we have almost figured out the enemy's situation. Think about it, what a disgrace it is that our majestic Kwantung Army elite was defeated by such a Chinese army. Therefore, we must draw up a battle plan as soon as possible to completely wipe out the enemy. This Chinese army."

Then Hideki Tojo continued: "According to the latest order from the base camp, there is no need for our corps to restore its combat capability within ten days, and then take Tianzhen at the end of September, and Datong, an important town in northern Shanxi, at the beginning of October. What do you think should be done?" ?”

"Your Excellency, Commander, I believe that if you want to achieve the ultimate strategic goal, you must take Tianzhen. Once Tianzhen is conquered, Yanggao Datong has no danger to defend, and it is easy to take. But Tianzhen not only has China No.60 One army is stationed, and there is this nasty security team on the flank to support, so that our army can't concentrate on dealing with the defenders of Tianzhen. Therefore, if we want to conquer Tianzhen, we must first eliminate Chen Feng's troops, so I suggest that our army We should first launch an attack on Chen Feng's troops in late September, and after conquering Xinghe, go south to attack the enemy in Tianzhen." Abe Kihide said loudly.

"I, Chahar, sent more than 7 troops, plus the 5 cavalry divisions of the Imperial Association Army, the total strength exceeded [-]. Such a large army attacking a local security regiment in China is a bit of a big deal. I suggest that the troops be divided into two groups. , starting from Wanquan on one side, crossing the Dongyang River and Chaigou Fort to go straight to Xinghe, Chen Feng's old nest. The other way is to attack from Huailai, and attack Tianzhen County again. It is possible to divide troops to save the Tianzhen defenders, as long as we make breakthrough progress along the way, we can deploy troops to support the other army, and our army will win this battle." Major General Seiichiro Yuhara said loudly.

"Yoxi, this suggestion is very good, let's do it like this. In 7 days, it will be the soul sacrifice day. In order to commemorate those heroic spirits who sacrificed their lives for the empire, and to comfort those souls who died unjustly, I, Chahar, dispatched a corps here One day to launch an attack on the Chinese, listen to my order: Du Li will be mixed into the No.15 Brigade, the Second Field Artillery Battalion, the First Cavalry Division of the Royal Association Army, and the Second Division to form the Northern Route Army. The supreme commander of the Route Army will drive to Wanquan County from the 22st day, waiting for the ammunition replenishment of the North China Front Army, and then advance to Chaigoubao on the 23nd, and arrive in Xinghe territory on the 23rd before the soul sacrifice. Du li is mixed into the second brigade and embankment detachment , Oizumi Detachment, the Fourth Field Artillery Battalion, and the Fifth, Sixth, and Eighth Divisions of the Royal Association Cavalry to form the South Route Army. Lieutenant General Kihide Abe will be the supreme commander. After being supplemented, the troops will immediately head to Tianzhen On the front line, they launched an attack at the same time as the North Route Army on the [-]rd. The Du Li Mixed First Brigade suffered heavy losses and basically lost its combat effectiveness, so they stayed in Huailai, waiting for replenishment on the one hand, and guarding the logistics base for the North and South Route Army on the other hand "Hideki Tojo ordered loudly.

Hideki Tojo didn't pause at all after finishing speaking, and continued: "This operation is code-named Operation Soul Sacrifice Ri. It's up to you whether you can get rid of the shame, please!"

"Hay!"

"Long Live His Majesty the Emperor!"

"Long live the Great Japanese Empire!"
