blood feud

On July 1937, 7, five people, including Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro, Foreign Minister Hirota Koki, Lu Prime Minister Sugiyama Moto, Marine Minister Mitsumasa Yonei, and Tibetan Prime Minister Kaya Konobu, participated in a special meeting of the "Five Prime Ministers". Meeting".

The main topic discussed at this meeting was what the imperial government should do after the "Marco Polo Bridge Incident".The five old ghosts disagreed and hesitated on how to handle the "Marco Polo Bridge Incident".

The military calls for "expansion," and the General Staff calls for "cautiousness." These two opinions are being debated, and so far they have not been fully unified.

Chief of the Military Affairs Section of the Ministry of the Army Shibayama Kaneshiro, Major General Ishihara Kanji, Chief of the Operations Department of the General Staff Headquarters, and Chief of the War Guidance Section Chief Kobe Torashiro believed that:

"If we go to war with China, even if the fighting area is limited to the area north of the Yellow River, at least the following preparations need to be made: 15. Mobilize 55 divisions at the same time; [-]. Use more than half of the military reserves accumulated so far; [-]. Warfare It may burn the Yellow River and expand to Shanghai; four or more than half a year of combat time; five or more military expenditures of [-] billion yen."

"If these conditions are to be met at the same time, the imperial economy mired in economic crisis cannot afford it, so it is necessary to adopt a policy of no expansion for the time being."

However, with the destruction of the destroyer Mutsuki and the troop carrier Sakuramaru, the island nation's staff headquarters finally realized that if decisive measures were not taken to fight desperately, the dignity of the Imperial Army in the Pacific Ocean would be lost, and militarism would not be able to continue. The consequences could be more serious.

Ishihara Wanji denied his recent principle of "not expanding for the time being" and ordered the urgent mobilization of three more divisions in the interior to rescue the Japanese troops who were stubbornly resisting in the Pingjin area.

The little devils are so capricious in foreign and international issues, which is like a child's play. This needs to find the root cause in the "nationality" of the Pacific dwarf.

The Pacific dwarfs have a characteristic, which is what they admire the most, that is, "Only pay attention to the process, not the result."

Pacific Shorty thinks: "Whether to do it or not is a matter of attitude, and how well you do it is a matter of level." It doesn’t make sense!) In dealing with the “Marco Polo Bridge Incident”, first of all, the short-haired staff did not expect that one of their decisions would lead to the consequences of almost subjugation of the country; secondly, even if the country is subjugated, it is not important to them.

Ai Xiaozi thinks: "It doesn't matter whether the country is subjugated or not. The important thing is that I am patriotic now."

In any case, Bai Shujie would never allow the short guys to restore the domestic economy and then concentrate on dealing with the Chinese nation.

Because the industrial base of the dwarfs is higher, the Chinese nation is poor and white.When your Huaxia nation develops a bit, the little devil will develop another ten points.In this way, the gap will only increase, and there will never be a possibility of narrowing it.

It's like the 21st century, when you develop yourself, the US emperor and the short man don't know how far you are left behind.

The reason why Jiang has been implementing the traitorous policy is because he has not thought through these issues clearly, and at the same time he is worried that others will overthrow his rule.

The materialist dialectics of dividing into two is always the truth.But someone in Jiang thought that was the theory followed by Mao Weiren, so he resisted.

Hitting a snake and hitting seven inches is the master of hitting a rock when it hits a well!

Now the economic crisis has not been completely alleviated, and industrial production has not recovered to 70% of the original level, and it is at its weakest time.

Now that an all-out war is launched, the Chinese nation is certainly not ready, but are the 2000 million short-haired people ready?No matter how developed they are, their population base is only 2000 million.

In the era without robots, the decisive factor for the success or failure of war is still people!The Chinese nation has nothing else but [-] million people.

For the Chinese nation, as long as one percent of the people are not afraid of death, that is 400 million troops.If one in ten people is not afraid of death, that's 4000 million troops.

Even if the little devils are all soldiers, they are only 2000 million troops.Besides, all the people are soldiers is nothing but a wonderful fantasy, just empty words.

Therefore, the war potential of the dwarf, that is, 25% of the total population, is equivalent to 500 million troops to the limit.

The rest are all women, children and old guys who can't walk. If such an army can also conquer the Chinese nation, then there is no need for this nation to exist!

History has not changed.

At 1937:8 on August 1, 4, a magnitude 35 earthquake occurred in Heze County, Shandong Province. The episeismic area reached Malinggang in the east, Wangbagang in Dongming County in the west, Tongguji in the south, and Genghai in the north. Nine degrees.

At 18:41 on the same day, another strong earthquake of magnitude 6 occurred in Heze County. The extreme earthquake area was in Wuyoufang, Zhulou, Damazhuang, and Wangtang, with an intensity of [-] degrees.

After that, violent storms swept across the banks of the Yellow River, and the North China region was also hit by heavy rains.The natural disaster forces gathered together greatly restricted the military operations of the little devil's mechanized troops and heavy artillery troops, ushering in a glimmer of opportunity for the next counterattack.

Is the little devil human?of course not!

A tragic earthquake occurred in Shandong. The little devil thought that this was an excellent opportunity to completely destroy the will of the Chinese nation to resist. The tragic end of the war, and now the war machine is running at full capacity.

比历史上提前了20天，矮矬子的参谋本部命令组建“华北军”，统一指挥华北所有部队对华作战。同时决定在第5、6、14、20师团进入战场以后，一个月之内将第10、16师团和新编成的第108、109师团调入华北。

On August 1937, 8, the Aizizi General Staff Headquarters issued Order No. 4 of Lin Shen Ming, issued the battle order of the North China Front Army, and established the "Chinese Army Command", with Xiang Yueqing Division as the commander.The order of battle is as follows:

The 5th Division: Lieutenant General Itagaki Seishiro, Chief of Staff, and Chief of Staff Nishimura Liwen, more than 24000 people.It must land in Dagu before August 8, gather near Tianjin, and then attack along the Pingsui line in the direction of Zhangjiakou.

Independent Mixed 11th Brigade: Lieutenant General Shigeyasu Suzuki, head of the brigade.The brigade has a strength of 4095 people and originally belonged to the Kwantung Army. On August 8, it launched an attack along Pingsui Road towards Nankou and Juyongguan.

The 20th Division: Lieutenant General Kawagishi Fumisaburo, Chief of Staff, Chief of Staff Kuzura Kuzo, 9604 people, 1741 horses.Launched on the front line of Huangcun and the two counties, went north to pinch the enemy at Nankou.Go south along the Ping-Han line, and cooperate with the 6th Division to attack Baoding and Shijiazhuang.

Open up the southward channel of the Ping-Han line and the Jin-Pu line, and sweep away the hostile militants north of the Yellow River. The participating troops are:

The 6th Division: Division Chief Lieutenant General Gu Hisao, Chief of Staff Shimono - Huo Dazuo, more than 28000 people.It is necessary to land in Dagu before mid-August, gather near Tianjin and go south along Jinpu Road to occupy Cangzhou, and then attack Baoding westward.

The 14th Division: Commander Lieutenant General Kenji Doihara, Chief of Staff Tadashi Sano, more than 22000 people.It must land in Tanggu before August 8, and then attack Baoding and Shijiazhuang along the Ping-Han line.

The 1st Independent Mixed Brigade: Major General Sakai Koji, head of the brigade, has more than 5000 people.As a unit directly under the "North China Army", it will reinforce all parties at any time.

The order of the Aozizi Staff Headquarters required that the "North China Army" must get through the Pingsui line as soon as possible to stabilize the situation on the front lines of Beiping and Tianjin.Then quickly go south to completely defeat the enemies in Zhuozhou, Zhuozhou, Cangzhou, Dingxing, Baoding, and Shijiazhuang.

All parties are busy dispatching troops and generals, and Bai Shujie, who is hiding in Chengde, is naturally not idle.

On August 1937, 8, after sending a telegram of condolences to Heze, Shandong, Bai Shujie sent some top-secret telegrams at the same time, and the chariot in his hand began to run rapidly.

"Order: The field artillery company of the Artillery Battalion under Zhang Erleng's command immediately arrived in concealment on the south side of the intersection of Qingshui River and Yongding River, looked for hidden high grounds to build artillery positions, and deployed three 38-75mm field artillery and 14-year-style 105mm field artillery Three cannons. They must be deployed and camouflaged before August 8, and two anti-aircraft batteries and one machine gun battery should be arranged to provide protection."

"Zhang Erleng's Fangshan Independent Regiment left the infantry battalion to defend the secret camp. The artillery battalion, the heavy artillery company, the machine gun battalion, the cavalry battalion, and the air defense battalion sent small groups of troops to go south secretly from Zhaogezhuang and Zijingguan to the 10 kilometers northwest of the city. On the front line of Xujiajian, build the front enemy headquarters as a backup."

"The rest of the air defense battalion under Zhang Erleng was deployed on the front line of Xujiajian to provide air defense firepower for the former enemy headquarters; the heavy artillery battalion under Zhang Erleng went south to Damo Mountain to hide and stand by; the cavalry under Zhang Erleng's battalion, go south to Baoyang Mountain to hide, and Zhang Erleng's machine gun battalion goes south to Muozi Mountain to hide."

"Order: Wei Chong Rao'an Independent Division, before Li Wentian's 38th Division retreats across the board, immediately dispatch a machine gun battalion, a mortar battalion, and a cavalry battalion to form an assault corps, sneak into Baiyangdian south of Xiongxian County, Waiting for the next order."

"At the same time, the main forces of Cangzhou, Hejian, Renqiu, and Raoyang do not need to confront the enemy head-on. If the enemy occupies Cangzhou, Raoyang, and Anping, they should avoid their front and immediately transfer to underground fortifications to get out of the way. The main force of the devils. Then wait for the next combat order."

"Order: Zhao Sanbao's Zhangfang independent regiment, the women's battalion protects the secret camp; the advance battalion that entered Baoding in concealment, is equipped with light machine guns and mortars, and each company is equipped with a radio station. Once the enemy attacks Baoding, take all necessary measures immediately, Organize the people to evacuate the isolated city quickly, and the scorched earth war of resistance will start from Baoding. Specific combat orders will be issued later."

"The six Type 105 25mm field cannons of the Artillery Battalion of the Zhangfang Independence Regiment took advantage of the current favorable opportunity of the confusion between the enemy and our forces, and immediately went southward, crossing Laishui and Yixian County to Xiangshan, [-] kilometers northwest of Baoding. A fixed observation post will be dispatched to the side, and a radio station will be carried for lurking."

"The air defense battalion of the Zhangfang Independence Regiment immediately hid and went southward, lurking in Yi County, Xiangshan, 5 kilometers north of Mancheng; at the same time, it investigated the surrounding environment of Mancheng, especially the situation inside the county, and strictly monitored pro-Japanese elements. If there is any change, immediately deal with it secretly."

"Order: The Heavy Artillery Regiment and Cavalry Regiment of the Third Rehe Guard Division of Shao Jianzhang are immediately and secretly transferred to Chicheng. In addition, Zou Baoyin's Chicheng Guard Regiment immediately enters a combat state and closely monitors the movements of the enemy troops on the Nankou line."

"Order: Han Qingfen and the first garrison division are in a state of combat. Guyuan Zhu Youpeng's 16th Regiment immediately marches westward to closely monitor the frontline enemy in Jining to prevent the enemy from looting."

With Bai Shujie's telegram, he finally mobilized more than 22000 people in one independent division and two independent regiments in North China, and prepared to fish in troubled waters in North China.

Someone Jiang moved, Bai Shujie from Rehe was not idle, and Xiangyue Qingsi, the commander of the "North China Army" that the little devil had just formed, couldn't sit still.

After all, what happens next, let's see the breakdown in the next chapter.
