From to 1935 2020

"The imperial kingdom's southward advance plan, before it is launched, is to store at least five main divisions in the east of Hebei, ten divisions in the north, and two divisions in North Korea as a reserve team. Only in this way can we guarantee the two divisions." The southward advance was launched when the ground was safe. The timing of the attack by the CCP and Lucia happened to be at the node when we had just increased our troops to these two places."

"There are not enough troops in North China, but there are four new divisions in Taiwan that are getting moldy!"

Neiji Okamura hammered the table hard, and cursed bitterly: "At the beginning of the year, if we prioritized the safety of North Manchuria and North China, we should deploy troops here in advance, and then send troops to Taiwan. Force, so that we can avoid the current situation...but those idiots in the military!"

Toshishiro Obata sneered and said: "They just want to rush into China to grab the meat, and they don't even consider the most dangerous situation, but such a small mistake in sequence was caught by Li Runshi, which caused the current situation. situation......."

Okamura Ningji looked at the map and said: "I have studied Li Runshi's command style. What he is best at is to constantly move and fight through the inside and outside lines, divide the opponent's troops, and then concentrate the superior forces to attack them all the way. The imperial army is now entering North China. The method, in military terms, is called fueling tactics, and this kind of situation is exactly what Li Yunshi wants to see the most."

Toshishiro Obata snorted: "The leaflets he sent planes to drop on Nagasaki repeatedly mentioned the Tanggu garrison, Wu Hao's speech in Tianjin, the letter of persuasion he published, and the arrangements for people from the Red Cross to enter Tanggu to intentionally The truce is actually a trap dug for the troops stationed in the North Branch! He just hopes that the imperial army will move ahead and enter the arena in batches to attack Pingjin!"

Neiji Okamura stood up with his hands on the table, stared at Toshishiro Obata and said, "You can see it too! Why don't you report your opinion to the military department so that Kiyoshi Kazuki can stop more in Tangshan... .”

In the end, Neiji Okamura kept his mouth shut, because he knew the answer without the other party answering.

"Our military department is full of greedy idiots!"

He saw it too, and he brought it up, but no one believed it, or rather no one wanted to believe it.

"Mr. Okamura, you are not scared by the power of Chizhi, are you? That is three divisions marching southward in a group, more than 7 people! Even if they are divided and surrounded, so what? At most In four days, the 3rd and 23rd Divisions will enter Pingjin. How could the Communist Army wipe out the [-] troops of the Imperial Kingdom within four days? And within a month, at least five other divisions will join the North China battlefield. Previously, we I was beaten by them, but now that I have reacted, the situation is different."

"In terms of tanks, the Kwantung Army has dispatched two chariot regiments to the south. Although there are not as many as the Communist Army, the gap is not as big as before. Moreover, the soldiers of the Imperial Kingdom are well trained, far less than the backward peasants and soldiers of the Communist Army. Yes. Lucia's tanks have some advantages, but the empire's excellent fighters are enough to offset this disadvantage."

"The Imperial Kingdom has already attached great importance to the air threat you mentioned. The aircraft of the Army Aviation is being transferred to the south, and the transfer can be completed in two days. Although Kiyoshi Kazuki is timid, the early preparations for receiving the aircraft have been completed. And the Navy The herd of red deer also agreed to send an air carrier into the Bohai Bay to provide support, and our air power in the Pingjin area will not lose to the Communist army."

In the military department, Okamura Ningji was not the only one who saw the problem.

But it didn't work!

After going to the gambling table and losing the upper class in the first game, now they will only continue to gamble desperately until they lose their last bet.

Neji Okaji sighed, he suddenly understood why this friend who used to always get together with him and discuss how to encroach on China all day long became depressed after February [-] and refused to go out no matter how invited.

"Toshi-kun Obata, do you think encroaching on China is a delusion?"

"In the past 60 years, the empire has been able to do whatever it wants in China, that's because our opponents are just trash like Chang Kaishen and Zhang Xueliang. And now this Li Runshi..."

Toshio Obata sighed and shook his head.

"Look at this opponent, in order to deal with our northern garrison, how many methods did he use? What's more frightening is that you and I have clearly seen through these methods, but there is nothing we can do..."

Okamura Neji said unconvinced: "He is much more terrifying than Chang Kaishen, but in the face of absolute strength, no tricks are useless! What's more, people are not as good as God, that ambitious guy Sakagaki pretends to be clever Changing the target of the battle, I took advantage of the situation and changed from attacking Tianjin to attacking Beiping. I wasted two more days on the way back, and instead hit Li Runshi's strategy of dividing troops to add fuel..."

Okamura Neiji patted the map and said confidently: "Two days to go back, two days is enough time for the 3rd Division to rush to the front line and fill the vacancy behind him."

Okamura Ningji patted his chest vigorously, with arrogance in his heart, he said conceitedly: "Yes, you Li Runshi is indeed the most outstanding hero in China in this era, but so what? I, Okamura, are also heroes. Even if you are a god, I I have to beat Tianbanzi to beat you!"

Toshishiro Obata looked coldly at Neiji Okamura who was in a state of self-hypnosis frenzy, and after he cooled down, he said softly: "That fellow Sakagaki is used to his self-righteousness, and he always reports when he does it. Are you sure that the location on the map reported by Sakagaki is where his main force was at that time?"

Ningji Okamura-_-#: "Nah? Baga! Road!"

-------------------- Chapter [-] Distance from Tangjia Village to Tongzhou-------------------

Seishiro Sakagaki's Fifth Division was only [-] kilometers away from Tongzhou before departure.And when Commander Xiangyue Qing ordered him to advance to the southeast to rescue Tanggu, Sakagaki Seishiro was not too happy.

The news he got from the intelligence department was that Hori's husband's troops had been driven to the seaside by the Communist army, with knives pointed at their throats, and the defense line was less than two kilometers deep.Seishiro Sakagaki has been to Tanggu Binhai, where there is basically a flat river, there is no danger to defend, and one attack is death.

"Anyway, we can't save them, so I went there just to help collect the corpses. Why don't we take advantage of the fact that Qinghua, the main force of the communist army, is in Tianjin and march southwest to capture Peiping."

His task happened to be to guard against the troops of Xu Zijing and Liu Ruming in the direction of Beiping. When he set off, he deliberately let the troops go straight south, and then kept "slightly westward", following the march of the troops, and the Sixth Division in the middle. The distance is getting farther and farther.

The Japanese army has a first-class division with a total strength of 3 troops.The area under spread control is more than ten kilometers or even more.He did not falsify the position he reported to the base camp, but it was only the positions of the two "prove that I am here" brigades in the east, and the main force has always been closer to Tongzhou on the west side.

When the news of the annihilation of his Tanggu garrison came, Seishiro Sakagaki put forward new suggestions to the base camp at the first time, while his main force on the west side had already moved westward on its own initiative.

In the report sent to the military department, Sakagaki's reason was: this was not a rash advance, but a surprise attack: pretending to aid Tanggu, surprise Tongzhou, and open the east gate to Beiping.

When the base camp was still considering Sakagaki's plan, the forward troops of his Fifth Division had already reached [-] kilometers away from Tongzhou, and the main force was only less than [-] kilometers away from Tongzhou.

"Why is it so quiet here?"

In the early morning of April [-], Miyazawa Ichiro, a reconnaissance squad leader of the Fifth Cavalry Regiment, entered a village near Tongzhou.Miyazawa Ichiro's task now is not only reconnaissance, but also to find the way for the large troops coming from the rear, to fight the front station, and the most dangerous thing is to clear the landmines and "roadside bombs" on the road ahead.

Miyazawa Ichiro did not enter the village blindly, but vigilantly observed outside the village with a telescope.

He didn't come to Tongzhou just now, but he was a veteran who had fought life and death with the Communist guerrillas in the Tongzhou area for many days after the war started on the [-]th.

Not entering every village, dismounting when encountering a bridge, this is the experience he gained in exchange for the deaths of many comrades in arms.After the Tongzhou Uprising on the [-]th, the area between Tangshan and Tongzhou, on the surface, was a buffer zone for both sides, but in fact it became a paradise for guerrillas.

Based in Tongzhou, the communist guerrillas stationed here frequently launched cross-border harassment operations, planted landmines everywhere, fired cold shots, and even fired cold shots at the strongholds where the Japanese army was stationed at night.

Before the Communist forces entered North China, if the northern branch of the garrison encountered such a raid in China, the chief would be "ecstatic", because it was equivalent to getting an excuse to start a war that the other party sent in front of him.

However, after the war started on April [-], Kiyoshi Kazuki, who was relatively clear-headed, was only vigilant and worried after receiving reports of harassment and requests for war from his subordinates.Because he knew very well that the Communist Party on the opposite side was different from Chang Kaishen and Zhang Xueliang, and they really hoped that his understrength garrison could go south desperately at that time.

Looking at his subordinates who were so excited about the harassment, Kiyoshi Kazuki's method of dealing with it was to organize a group of elite Japanese troops to attack the harassment and "injure each other" with the same means.

During the eight days when the main force of the garrison troops had been standing still in Tangshan, the elite combat teams below had already been fighting the opposing "plain guerrillas" in the buffer zone between Tangshan and Pingjin for eight days.

Miyazawa Ichiro was the "Royal Army Fighting Hero" who stood out during this process.His brain works well—people who don't work well either die or lie in the hospital as a cripple lacking eggs and toes.

After April 27, Kiyoshi Kazuki could not bear the pressure of the base camp. When sending troops ahead of schedule, Miyazawa Ichiro's troops did not go to Tanggu because of their rich experience in fighting the Pingjin Communist guerrillas. Instead, they were seconded to the Fifth Division nearby. group.

Now he took a new squadron of troops assigned to him, and served as an outpost for the main force.

In the past ten days, under the banner of "the devil is coming, strengthen the wall and clear the country", a large number of villages north of Pingjin have been semi-forcibly emptied within a few days, leaving only a small number of locals who are willing to join the army.Then the Communist Party's army entered the surrounding area of ​​Tongzhou, broke up into pieces, and ambushed on Pingyuan in North China.Play cold guns everywhere, plant landmines.

Major Miyazawa Ichiro looked at the village, and entered the village ahead of time. More than 20 people walked around the outside of the village, but finally entered the village from the side of the field stalks, stepping over the seedling fields—the reason is that the entrance of the village is likely to be closed. There are mines.

The whole village was eerily quiet. There were no roosters crowing, no dogs barking, and no cooking smoke.The young crops outside the village have just sprouted, but the whole village is empty, with no one in sight.

Obviously there is no one in the village, but they seem to have entered the enemy-controlled area, even walking with their feet folded, standing on the footprints in front of them.

More ghost soldiers were scattered outside the village and did not enter rashly—this is also the summary of bloody experience after the past ten days of fighting each other to harass each other.

"In the land of North China, death is everywhere!"

Major Miyazawa Ichiro came to this realization after ten days of fighting with the Communist Party's plain guerrillas on the land of North China.

He has 200 people around him, but in fact the core is more than a dozen veterans who have fought with him for ten days in special harassment and counter-harassment operations.There were more than this number of his subordinates, a few of them were admitted to the hospital, but more were borrowed by other troops.

Human life is at stake, and devil soldiers also have brains, and their own lives are more important.Where possible, they're playing the "veteran leads the recruit" formula.

In front of the village called Tangjia Village, there is a stone bridge at the other end of the village, which is the only way to enter Tongzhou. It stands to reason that this is a very important pass, but the Red Army on the opposite side directly abandoned it. The original residents were emptied.

It was Mr. Oda Cao who took the lead in exploring the way into the village. He led more than 20 Japanese troops who had undergone simple demining training, and searched ahead carefully.These Japanese soldiers advanced alternately under cover, and the Japanese soldiers outside the village were not waiting stupidly. They were also looking for commanding heights to occupy positions, and were ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

If you don’t want to step on thunder, you must pay special attention to the changes in the color of the soil on the ground when walking.When they arrived at an intersection, the leader Xiaotian Cao waved his hand, and everyone stopped,

He pointed to a piece of land in front of him. The color of the soil there was slightly different from that of the surrounding area. The surrounding people retreated, spread out, and lay down on the ground, while the engineer stepped forward, carefully stabbed the ground with a bayonet, and explored. After a while , he lifted a mine from the ground.

The engineer turned his head and said, "It's this kind of stinky dung mine again, made by Fengtai."

After careful inspection, he said again: "This thunder is not wound, and it will not explode if you step on it. It is a dead thunder."

In the past year, with the help of the Communist Party, civilian landmine arsenals in Pingjin and Tianjin produced more than 20 inferior landmines.

Restricted by different factories, craftsmen's craftsmanship and materials, the landmines produced by different factories in Pingjin area are different in appearance.

When the Communist Party helped the 29th Army manufacture landmines on a large scale, the Japanese who had been paying attention here certainly knew it well.Almost everything the factory produced, they managed to get samples.Not only that, the Communist Party in Hebei issued a large number of reading materials such as "Manual for the Manufacture of Militia Explosives" and "Encyclopedia of Types of Landmines".And the engineer named Sawada Yue in front of him can even recognize where it was born by virtue of its appearance.In order to invade China, these ghost soldiers really did their homework.

Chief Oda Cao blew his whistle, which was a signal to Major Miyazawa Ichiro outside the village, meaning that landmines were found in the village, and the latter's face suddenly became ugly.One landmine means the whole village, and there may be other mines everywhere.

In history, in order to deal with the landmine tactics of the people in the base areas, the most common thing the Japanese did was to arrest ordinary people everywhere and force them to land mines.However, the area around Tongzhou has already been fortified and cleared by the opponents in advance. Within a radius of more than ten kilometers, "everyone who can walk is not one of our own, so they must be members of the Communist Party." Now almost all civilians have evacuated from this area, and only the Communist Party commands infiltration forces are active

Tangjia Village is not big. The distance from the entrance of the village to the stone bridge at the other end of the village is less than 50 meters. There are only more than 20 sparse houses on both sides. Ordinary people can walk slowly, and they can walk around all the houses in the whole village in only 3 minutes. lap.However, it took half an hour for the people brought into the village by Mr. Xiaotian Cao to explore the roads of the village and confirm the safety of the roads.

Then these devils entered the village, but they didn't rush into any of the folks. When they entered the house, they searched carefully through the windows or the roof. Everyone was cautious as if they had a "thunder phobia."

They have all seen the guy who slammed into the door arbitrarily, and was half dead in the bombing. They have all seen it, and they can't be careless.

"Safety!"

"Safety!"

Fortunately, except for the unwound mine at the entrance of the village, the whole village was "clean and clean" without a single mine, but nothing that could be requisitioned by the locust army was found: food, clothing, ironware, and even casserole. All were evacuated.Near the road near the bridge, you can clearly see the traces of the wheel ruts. Judging from its depth, it should be loaded with a lot of heavy objects.While searching across the bridge, a small amount of fresher livestock manure was found on the road at the other end of the bridge.In addition to not burning down the houses, the communists carried out a perfect clearing of the walls here.

Four or 10 minutes later, Ichiro Miyazawa, who entered the village, saw Japanese characters brushed with lime on a wall at the other end of the village: The distance from the head of the village to the head of the bridge at the end of the village is 50 meters......

There are still some wet marks on the floor and walls, and the lime letters are obviously painted on not long ago.

Oda Caochang and Miyazawa Ichiro stood together, looking at the writing on the wall, they all fell into a deep silence: The distance of less than 50 meters, they walked for four to ten minutes.

After a long time, the former sighed: "This Communist Party is much more difficult to deal with than the Northwest Army and the Northeast Army!"

"Is this what Li Yunshi said, the people's war?"

Miyazawa Ichiro was just thinking in his heart, but he didn't speak.

He was born in the First Division of the Emperor's Imperial Forest Army, which is different from the cannon fodder and horse dung of the Fifth Division. In fact, all of them are of high quality. There are many ([-]), and they also have rebellious bones on the back of their heads (often killing their bosses). Most importantly, they love reading books more.

When he was in Tokyo, Miyazawa Ichiro read a lot of Kita Ikki's books.On February [-]th, he was not in the same regiment as Ando Teruzo and his group, otherwise he would probably have joined them at that time. The leader of the Communist Party, Wu Hao, publicized that the defenders of Tanggu were abandoned sons, who were thrown to Tanggu by the emperor The one who kills someone with a knife is actually wrong.

The people in Ando's regiment, the officers among the participants were basically killed, and the soldiers who participated in the lower ranks were thrown to Nanyuan later, and they were collectively smashed together on the first day of the war with the ghost animal Mutaguchi.

After Ichiro Miyazawa came to China, he read a lot of "dangerous" books, including the evil book written by Huang Ke.As for the various types of guerrilla warfare manuals printed and distributed by the Communist Party in the Pingjin area, Ichiro Miyazawa also read them carefully.

His first thought after reading it was: If the Chinese in Hebei could really fight against the imperial army as these books said, this place would become a terrible quagmire, even hell—the hell of the imperial army.

Now, standing in this empty village without a single original resident, Ichiro Miyazawa already felt like he was in a deep quagmire.

After Miyazawa's people entered the village, they began to boil water for cooking.The river is right next to the village, but when they went there to fetch water, they deliberately stayed away from the water point at the entrance of the village, and went to a farther place to fetch water—again, to guard against landmines.Running two extra steps is better than getting your toes blown off and the eggs in your crotch blown...

"boom!"

Just as Miyazawa sighed, there was a loud noise in his ear. Two minutes later, Miyazawa watched with an ugly face as the health guard took off the pants of a hapless imperial soldier, and dealt with his crotch that had been blown into a mess.The hygienist used a camera to pull out the fine pieces inlaid on the bird little by little, and then cleaned it with disinfectant alcohol.

Afraid of what will come, that unlucky warrior of the imperial kingdom ran far away to fetch water, but was still hit by a mine.They know how to get water away from the usual water points, but the opponent guesses it too.....

There were many small pieces of broken glass embedded in the bombed bird.This kind of landmine, which is mainly made of ordinary granular gunpowder, is not powerful enough, and the embedded pieces are all broken porcelain and broken glass. In fact, the penetration is very poor.

"Matsumoto is unlucky, he was hit by a mine while he was urinating, and what's more, he stepped on a crotch mine."

The so-called crotch blasting mine is actually a Chinese variant of the famous S-jumping mine in the history of World War II. It uses the principle of two kicks. After stepping on it, it will jump up and explode in the middle.

The real German or later Soviet imitation of the S-jumping mine is actually not simple in manufacturing process: it uses a spring delay fuze, and a large circle of steel balls is embedded outside (the Soviet Union uses a cut steel bar head).

However, China, whose industry is backward, obviously cannot have high-end technology such as spring manufacturing. Even the Taiyuan Arsenal can only absorb its creativity and come up with a "beggar" version of the delayed blasting of the gunpowder fuze after firing-the difference is that step on It will bounce up after the middle, but only God knows how high the bomb reaches before it explodes, and how many seconds it can be delayed.Moreover, the regular ones made in Taiyuan are filled with explosives or TNT, surrounded by a circle of messy iron fragments as fragments, while the products of folk "firework pottery factories" here in Hebei are not even as good as the beggar's version: because there is not so much Multi-professional explosives, which can only be replaced by granular gunpowder.The pieces of iron were replaced by shattered porcelain and shattered glass soaked in dung.In terms of craftsmanship, it has reached the level of "firework second kicker".

The power is also reduced again and again, and the killing depends entirely on faith: if you are lucky, it will explode after bouncing one or two meters to the ground. The landing position is a little farther away. Maybe it is just a scratch, or even just a shock.If you are unlucky, jump to the height of the head and explode, the debris will fly, disfigurement, blindness and so on... The latter can only blame their own bad character.

Even though this thing has a bunch of quality problems, its lethality is not enough, but absolutely no Japanese soldier is willing to take it.What disgusted Miyazawa was the pre-installed messy fragments that had been soaked in manure for a long time.

In the "Militia Demolition Manual" obtained by Ichiro Miyazawa, it explained in detail the manufacturing process and killing principle of the mine, and specifically pointed out that the mine is "difficult to kill directly", but care must be taken to clean the wound after injury, because the fragments are in the If the feces have been soaked for a long time, it is easy to induce wound infection and even lead to late effects such as tetanus and scurvy. The "Militia Explosion Manual" specifically stated that once one of his own people accidentally steps on a landmine and is injured, in addition to cleaning the wound as soon as possible, he must immediately report to the "Ministry of People's Armed Forces" (People's Armed Forces) where he is located and take a large dose of " Qingmei Jiedu Pill" to prevent subsequent infection.

The unlucky Matsumoto looked at the doctor with fearful eyes, and kept asking, "Doctor, this is a stinky dung mine, won't it be infected? It won't be cut off..."

Ichiro Miyazawa knew what "Qingmei Jiedu Pill" was. It was invented by the Communist Party named Huang Ke and another female Communist Party of the Soviet Union. It was also a good medicine for treating syphilis. The miracle medicine, because this medicine can cure syphilis and wound infection, is extremely expensive internationally.Japan only imports a small amount for high-ranking officers, and ordinary "horse manure", even sulfonamide cannot guarantee a full supply.
