Chapter 766 Okamura's head buzzed
When some Japanese troops stationed in the strongholds received orders from Yoshio Shinozuka, they all scoffed at this rather conservative order.
What do you mean, just let them evacuate their base? Commander Shinozuka Yoshio is becoming more and more cowardly.
Are the warriors of our Great Japanese Empire so incompetent?
Commander Yoshio Shinozuka, you are a coward, so don't drag us into this.
They arrogantly moved all the light and heavy weapons onto the walls and watchtowers of the stronghold.
When they were preparing to beat the invading "Tubalu" troops until they cried for their parents.
The "Tubalu" outside had already pushed out a Type 92 infantry gun.
For a distance of less than 300 meters, the technical content is not too great, you just need to aim directly.
The artillerymen of the Eighth Route Army aimed, loaded ammunition and pulled the bolt in one go.
An infantry artillery shell whizzed out and directly hit the wall (gun tower) of the stronghold.
The battle started at midnight, and Okamura was awakened by his subordinates at twenty minutes past midnight.
"It's bad, Commander Okamura. The battle outside has already started. The battle has already started in all of North China."
Okamura put on his glasses and cursed loudly, "Baka, isn't the time for the May 1st sweep already set at five o'clock tomorrow morning?
Why did the fighting start just after midnight? Who gave the order to start the war without my permission?"
His adjutant said: “Sir Commander, it was not us who launched the May Day sweep.
This battle was initiated by the Eighth Route Army, and it was the Eighth Route Army that fired the first shot. "
Okamura felt his head buzzing, and the words "great raid" were about to come out.
His adjutant quickly stepped forward and supported the staggering Commander Okamura.
Okamura already had a deep understanding of the Eighth Route Army's major raid.
He was also the one who launched a large-scale raid by the Eighth Route Army.
He then succeeded Tada and took the throne of commander of the North China Expeditionary Army.
Therefore, he had many ways to counter the Eighth Route Army's attack on Zhengtai Road.
He was thinking of ordering troops from all over the country to sweep away the invading Eighth Route Army along various roads and railways.
But he had to stop again, he suddenly remembered that he had no soldiers available.
Most of the troops went to the outskirts of Tang County, preparing to carry out a large-scale sweep of the Eighth Route Army base in the Ji Zhong Plain.
There are also several divisions stationed in large cities such as Beijing, Tianjin, Baoding and Shijiazhuang.
Now he no longer has sufficient troops to support the strongholds attacked by the Eighth Route Army.
Okamura: "Send a telegram to General Kimura in Zhangjiakou and General Shinozuka Yoshio in Shanxi.
Ask them to send one or two divisions to fight in Hebei area.
Notify the commander of the Shandong Ship's Stern Division to stop engaging with the Seventh Guerrilla Division over there.
Ask him to immediately go north to Cangzhou and Hengshui in Hebei to relieve the siege of the Eighth Route Army there.
Not long after those telegrams were sent, the reply came from the other side.
"Commander, General Kimura from Zhangjiakou called back and said that a large number of cavalry troops appeared in the Chahar area.
They besieged the Japanese strongholds in the Chahar area overnight.
Judging from the sound of the gunshot, this is a semi-automatic rifle that can fire continuously.
These enemies should be the cavalry units of the Gannan First Cavalry Army.
They ask for your forgiveness, because the Gannan Cavalry First Army has strong mobility.
It will be difficult for them in Chahar to send reinforcements to support the battle in Hebei in the near future."
"This is a telegram from the commander of the Shandong Ship Stern Division. They were also attacked by the Eighth Guerrilla Division in the Dezhou area.
The 7th Gannan Guerrilla Division was already on its way back to Hebei.
According to reconnaissance, they have turned back and are preparing to besiege our division with the Eighth Division.
Our troops have now been forced to move towards Qingdao, preparing to join forces with the garrison there to resist the siege of the guerrilla division."
The implication is that they are going to run away now, leaving Okamura to fend for himself.
In addition to his words, he also criticized Commander Okamura, saying that Okamura was too unreliable.
This help actually made Shandong feel like they were letting a wolf into the house.
"Commander Yoshio Shinozuka of the Shanxi First Army has also sent you a telegram requesting assistance.
Tonight, their garrison in the Shanxi First Army was also harassed by the Eighth Route Army and the Shanxi-Suiyuan New Army.
What's worse, the walls of their Taiyuan City were bombarded by the artillery units of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, and the walls of Taiyuan City were already crumbling.
General Shinozuka Yoshio... please send reinforcements to the Shanxi battlefield."
"Bagaya road!"
The angry Commander Okamura slammed the table, drew his command sword, and smashed a large vase with it.
It was confirmed. Just when he was about to go down in history and lead the Japanese army to a new height, he was targeted.
This is definitely a conspiracy against him, a conspiracy that is organized, planned, and has a background.
Who on earth wants to bring himself down?
Is it a temporary capital? No, this is definitely not their style.
The people in the temporary capital are filled with a bunch of corruption, how could they have such courage?
Who would that be?
Could it be the commander-in-chief of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army of the National Government’s Second War Zone?
That doesn't seem likely. It was extremely difficult for him to deal with Yoshio Shinozuka alone.
How could they have the courage to play such a big game against the Japanese army in North China?
This is definitely not the work of the Second War Zone. War costs money, how could he be willing to spend that money?
Could it be that the Red Northern Shaanxi people took action? This is possible.
In recent years, the empire's army has been active on the battlefields of China and has been basically invincible.
Only in the five provinces of North China behind them did these "Tubalu" take root and establish bases.
The five provinces in North China, which served as the rear base of the empire, began to feel unstable.
We capture a stronghold today and a watchtower tomorrow, and there is not a single peaceful day.
They created chaos in their own territory.
During this period, a group of particularly capable middle-level generals emerged from their "Tubalu" side.
Someone like Li Yunlong is simply a fierce general.
He had no rules or methods when fighting, but he always inflicted the greatest damage to the imperial army, which was really infuriating.
This Li Yunlong was, after all, an old Red Army soldier from the "Communist Army", so it was not surprising that he could fight.
But who is this Wu Changfeng?
It is said that this person appeared very suddenly. He appeared out of nowhere in Li Yunlong's new regiment.
I heard that he "invested" with his own team and was promoted to deputy team leader right away.
As more and more battles were fought, Wu Changfeng's position became higher and higher.
This commander Wu can finally enter the eyes of the imperial intelligence department.
When Okamura first arrived in Peiping, he reviewed the information about the middle-level generals in his hands, and it was simply shocking!
There is no source for Wu Changfeng's background, but he never lacks ammunition when fighting.
Other "Tubalu" troops were still happy about having captured a grenade launcher.
Wu Changfeng was already using the Type 92 infantry gun to attack the empire's stronghold.
After reading the report, Du Gangcun was also very angry.
These imperial intelligence personnel are too useless. The imperial army's once proud record has blinded their eyes.
