The third part of the bloody war of resistance, Chapter 9 of the rushing flow, Section 5 of the assault (7)

Ritakasuke's heart sank, knowing that Okamura Yasuji might have accepted Nakajima's plan in his heart, otherwise he would not have transferred the peaceful rescue from the front line immediately. Before Ritakasuke could think of a countermeasure, Okamura Yasuki continued.

"Major General Nakajima's analysis makes sense. General Chia has always liked to be surprised, but he cannot rule out the possibility of his advance north. The Fifth Division immediately went east secretly and Dong'a. After arriving, he secretly built a bridge on the Yellow River. He ordered Matsui Ishigen to immediately mix the ** of the Jiaodong Peninsula into the Fifth and Sixth Brigade, assembled in Jinan, and the ** of the Huimin area into the Seventh Brigade, immediately assembled in Jinan, and the 19th Division and the 46th Division in Tai'an area."

Tanisuo's face was gloomy. Okamura Yasuji actually accepted Nakajima's suggestion, which made him unacceptable. He stood up and said in a voice: "Commander"

Okamura Yanji looked at him gently, nodded slightly, indicating that he knew, and his tone changed and became stern again: "However, Major General Nakajima, you disobey your superiors' orders. This behavior is extremely shameful, so I must punish you severely."

Kazuya Nakajima did not reply, but just lowered his head slightly to express his punishment. Okamura's tone remained unchanged: "I will demote you to Colonel now, remove your position as the commander of the Fifth Division, and change it to the acting commander of the Fifth Division."

Although it was not sent to the island's military court, this punishment should satisfy Tanisuo. This was the first time in the Japanese army to be demoted from a general-level officer to a colonel. At the same time, Kazuya Nakajima also set a record for the Japanese army with the rank of Colonel.

"If you disobey the order again, I will send you to the military court. I will punish you for multiple crimes and never forgive me." Okamura Yanji stared at Nakajima coldly and fiercely. This is what Nakajima is like. Sometimes I really don't know if he is a Japanese. Japanese have always been implicit, polite, and obedient, but he is proud and ostentatious, and he has no scruples in doing things. No boss likes him, but this kid is also talented, making it difficult for the boss to really deal with him.

"Hayi" Nakajima raised his head and said loudly.

Seeing that things were decided like this, Rikikonosuke decided to delay as much as possible to win time for his husband.

"Commander, the Fifth and Sixth Mixed Brigade only retreated to Jiaodong shortly after the Battle of Northern Hubei, and the Jiaodong GC Army was not completely eliminated. If the Fifth and Sixth Mixed Brigade were transferred from Jiaodong now, the local defense force would be too thin, and the GC Army would be rekindled. It would be better to wait until the peaceful rescue arrives before they leave."

Chief of staff Okamura immediately agreed that Okamura Yanji was taking a risk this time, and he almost took time out all the imperial army in Shandong. Shandong is a key area for guerrillas behind the enemy in China. From the Jiaodong Peninsula to the Yimeng Mountains, there are Chinese guerrillas operating. These guerrillas are complex in composition, including organized by the Chinese government, GC army, and bandits of all sizes.

After Matsui Ishien arrived in Shandong, he was determined to attack these enemy-behind guerrillas. He first targeted Jiaodong. He mobilized the 59th Division and the Fifth Sixth Mixed Brigade assigned by the North China Expeditionary Force to peacefully rescue Wu Huawen's Ministry with a total force of 100,000. He carried out a large-scale maiden sweep on Jiaodong, which severely hit Jiaodong GC Army and the Kuomintang Army guerrillas. Almost all the Kuomintang guerrillas were evacuated from Jiaodong. The GC Army suffered heavy losses and was scattered in mountainous areas of Jiaodong, which greatly reduced the threat to the Imperial Army.

Subsequently, Matsui Ishien moved north and encircled and suppressed the Eighth Route Army Hebei-Shandong Border Areas in Huimin, Qingyun and other places, forcing the main force of the Hebei-Shandong Border Area to advance westward and enter the Hebei-Shandong Henan Border Area. The few troops left behind were also forced to disperse guerrillas.

After success, Matsui Ishigen pointed his blade at the Yimeng Mountains, where the most powerful Chinese army in Shandong, there were two Chinese government troops, as well as the New Fourth Army and the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army in the GC army. Although they fought very hard and had several conflicts, their attitudes towards the Imperial Army were still the same.

According to the current situation of Yimeng Mountain, Matsui Ishione first attacked the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, swept them all over the guerrilla area on the plain, and then forced the mountainous areas. The tactics adopted by the Eighth Route Army's New Fourth Army were exactly the same as those of the Hebei-central troops; they converged and concentrated annihilated; the troops were scattered to advance to the rear of the Japanese army, fighting fiercely in the rear of the Japanese army, and the mountains were firmly walled and cleared the fields, laying mines everywhere, and the sweeping troops suffered heavy casualties.

But at this critical moment, Okamura Yasuji decided to launch a large-scale sweep in North China and transfer the 15th Mixed Brigade back to North China. This move made Matsui Ishigen fail. After that, Matsui Ishigen relied on the local troops in Shandong to continue to put pressure on the Yimeng Mountains. However, at this time, the Sulu War Zone had noticed the dilemma of the Shandong troops and transferred the newly formed 12th Army to Yimeng Mountain to reinforce the Shandong battlefield, and the Yimeng Mountains were adjusted. However, at this moment, the Japanese army's combat targets were still the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army. The two sides continued to stalemate. The Japanese army could not eliminate the GC army in the mountainous areas, and the GC army could not repel the Japanese army.

But at this time, the Battle of Northern Hubei began, and the Fifth and Sixth Mixed Brigade reinforced northern Hubei. This move was like cutting off firewood from the bottom of a cauldron, which collapsed all the offensives of Matsui Ishigen. The Japanese army was forced to withdraw from the mountainous areas. The Eighth Route Army took the opportunity to recover all lost land. At the same time, the Jiaodong GC army also rekindled.

After the Battle of Hubei, the Japanese army in Shandong did not launch an attack, nor did the Shandong Kuomintang and Communist troops launch an attack, nor did they even make an act of stimulating the opponent. Both sides were in a strange calm and were waiting for something.

Okamura Yasuji was also very clear about the situation in Shandong. He hesitated for a while and finally nodded. After the meeting, Tanisuo and Kazuka Nakajima returned to Henan together. In the evening, Ritakanosuke left the headquarters, and his deepness quietly followed a figure, Aochung Hill.

After Nishimura's death, he strengthened his suspicion against Takanosuke. But he could not tell anyone that he could only do it quietly and in the dark.

"Okamura Yanji's dog's nose is quite long." Looking at the information sent by Wang Xiaoshan overnight, Zhuang Jihua sneered and scolded.

"If you stop, you will suffer from chaos. Commander, let Du Yuming and Song Xilian go out." Xu Zuyi suggested.

"Good order Sun Zhen, to conquer Bengbu within two days," Zhuang Jihua said in a serious tone. Now that the picture is revealed, there is no need to hide it anymore: "Tell Sun Zhen, I only need Bengbu, good or bad, all of them are needed."

Xu Zuyi and Cai Tingkai both understood that when Zhuang Jihua attacked Wuhan, he strictly prohibited the use of heavy weapons. Now he told Sun Zhen that if he let go of the attack, he would win as long as he took Bengbu, he would not have to worry about civilian casualties. He would take Bengbu and cut off the Jinpu line.

"Telection from Du Yuming, Song Xilian, Chen G, Thunder"

Thunder, the secret code for the attack, the army of 500,000 was divided into three groups, like three torrents running towards Xuzhou, Heze, and Suxian.

"Tell Wang Crazy, move quickly and vigorously. In the first battle, we must show the might of our army. We cannot let Du Yuming and Song Xilian beat our Eighth Route Army upset." Chen G leaned against the jeep without any haste, and looked at the troops advancing eastward. He told the communications director that in order to conquer Heze in the shortest time and approach the canal, he asked Wang Jshan, the captain of the subordinates who were the best at fighting tough battles, as the striker.

Now what was passing by the Corps artillery troops, with twenty-four seven-five mountain cannons and sufficient ammunition, all in the daily system. This was secretly assigned to him by Zhuang Jihua, and he formed an artillery regiment.

A strong roar came from a distance, and black smoke appeared in the sky, and the earth was trembling gently. A team of tanks appeared on the road, and the same blue sky and white sun flag was flying on the leading tanks.

Chen G looked at the tank getting closer and closer and suddenly said: "The dog-good Zhuang Wenjie"

On the northern front, Chen G's troops' attack target was Heze. He also operated with him the newly formed Eighth Army of Gao Shuxun and Xie Zixing's newly formed 110th Division, with Chen G as the commander-in-chief.

"Pa" the tea cup on the table bounced heavily, making two crisp sounds. Song Xilian's face turned red with excitement, and shouted at the staff around him: "Order the troops to dispatch according to the scheduled plan and tell Luo Qi to take down Dangshan tonight."

The commander-in-chief of the middle lane, Song Xilian, commanded the Second Army and the 36th Army under his command, were ready to attack. Song Xilian used the Eighth Army of the 36th Army as the vanguard to assign the tank regiment to the army, and rushed to the more than 3,000 Japanese troops in Dangshan with the tactic of slaughtering chickens.

"Brothers, we lost Shandong five years ago. Five years ago, the Japanese massacred 40,000 of my compatriots in Xuzhou. Now it's time to take revenge. Take the flag." Du Yuming stretched out, and the eight bright red words were written on the white cloth - Revenge, and blood was washed away by blood.

"Leave this flag to Zhang Lihui and tell me that I will hear the news that he will conquer Huaibei tomorrow."

Du Yuming, commander-in-chief of the South Road, was under his command of the 50th Army of the First Army. This route has strong troops, and both armies are in a three-army system with a total force of 120,000.

Du Yuming had two attack directions. The Fifty Army attacked Huaibei, and the First Army rushed to Suxian. The Japanese army in this area had weak forces. Du Yuming boldly launched the four armies. He and Lan Yundong only controlled one army, and the remaining two armies were divided into two groups.

Zhang Lihui led the 60th army of the group army to attack Huaibei, and Situ Fei led the 77th army to attack Bianxi. The Japanese army had only 1,600 people in Huaibei and only 800 people in Bianxi.

The two routes of attacking Suxian were divided into two groups. Huang Botao led the 55th army to attack Fuli, and Wang Guobin led the 59th army to attack Suxian. Suxian is an important town on the Jinpu line and the southern gate of Xuzhou. The Japanese army stationed here with 3,000 troops. In order to be cautious, Du Yuming handed over the heavy artillery brigade of the army to Wang Guobin and asked him to conquer Suxian in one fell swoop.

"Telection to Qiu Qingquan, thunder"

Xu Zuyi was just about to remind Zhuang Jihua that Chen Geng's troops on the North Road were relatively weak and it would be difficult to implement the task of forcing the canal. However, unexpectedly, another Qiu Qingquan appeared in Zhuang Jihua. Isn't Qiu Qingquan in Xinzheng?

"I have ordered the First Mechanized Army to move quietly to the Minquan. In Xinzheng's tanks, only the ones on the training ground were real, and the rest were made of wood." Seeing Xu Zuyi and Cai Tingkai's doubts, Zhuang Jihua explained lightly: "The First Mechanized Army was assigned to Chen G to command, responsible for clearing the Japanese army in Heze."

After saying that, Zhuang Jihua ordered again: "Tele to Guan Linzheng, Dagger"

To the east of Suqian, a small wood was hidden by several thatched huts. The staff quickly pushed the door and entered. Guan Linzheng rose up with a telegram, stretched his tight eyebrows, and ordered loudly without raising his head: "Order Zhang Yaoming to launch an attack on Suqian immediately; order Li Zongfang to launch an attack on Si County immediately, and finally wait for this day."

After receiving the order, Guan Linzheng immediately transferred the newly formed 12th Army from the Yimeng Mountains and transferred the 47th Army from Yancheng to Sihong. In recent years, he fought with the Japanese army several times in Suqian, but he had not invested in the main force. Both sides were half defeated. Suqian was a bridgehead for the Japanese army to invade northern Jiangsu. The Japanese army stationed heavily here, with a total force of 5,000, of which 4,000 were in Suqian and 1,300 were in Si County.

The iron flow was rolling, swords and guns were standing, and the military flag was waving; in the sky, fighter planes roared, and the Jiangbei War Zone Air Force commanded by Gao Zhihang had a total of 500 various combat aircraft, providing air cover for this Xuzhou battle.

Six hundred thousand troops, one thousand three hundred tanks, tens of thousands of artillery, and five hundred combat aircraft. China has never had such powerful force. In the past two thousand years, in the six years of the War of Resistance Against Japan, such a powerful steel group has never appeared on China's territory.

"Occurrence and Attack" Qiu Qingquan, who was sitting on the tank command vehicle, shouted at the chief of staff expressionlessly: "The fate of tank soldiers is to attack continuously. No matter whether the infantry Communist bandits have it or not."

Qiu Qingquan was extremely dissatisfied with Zhuang Jihua because he assigned his mechanized troops to infantry, and it was actually GCD troops. Even the first-stage elder brother Chen G could not do it. The principle of tank warfare is that infantry is assigned to tanks, and tanks are the protagonists of the war. The flat field in Luxi is him Qiu Qingquan, which is the stage for his tank performance.

Qiu Qingquan passed the main force of Chen G's army and then divided the troops into three routes. The first route was the main force, and he personally led the attack on Heze; the second route was led by Major General Zou Zhenyue and pointed towards Dingtao and cooperated with Chen G's army to attack Dingtao; the third route was led by Colonel Jiang Weiguo, detoured by Chengwu and detoured to attack Juye; the third route was led by Colonel Jiang Weiguo, and the three routes galloped across the plains of western Shandong, and the tracks crushed all resistance.

Zhuang Jihua finally drew his sword, quelling the telegram war in Nanjing and shocking Nanjing Beiping at the same time.

In the combat room, the staff kept shuttled and summarized the situations coming from all over the place to Chief of Staff Seishiro Itagaki. Deputy Chief of Staff Jun marked the situation one by one on the map, which increasingly clearly indicated the scale of the squadron's attack. Nishio's face turned pale, and Seishiro Itagaki was speechless, and his hands were moving more and more heavy.

No one spoke, the staff members were cautiously slowing down, and the sound of reporting was as calm as possible.

The Chinese general was too cunning. The hundreds of thousands of troops on the south bank of the Yellow River were just baits and pretending to be soldiers, attracting the main force of the North China Expeditionary Army on the north bank of the Yellow River, but his main force was showing his sword in Xuzhou.

Xuzhou, this ancient battlefield, this transportation hub of the Huanghuai Plain, and the most important strategic location in East China is the goal of General China.

I have something to do today, I'm late to come back, so I'll update it a little late. Please forgive me
