Chapter 731 This damn "Song Sang"
Unexpectedly, while flying, Political Commissar Ding felt something was wrong.
The flight seemed to take a long time. From the window glass, I could see that we had already passed Hengshan Base early.
As soon as the plane landed, he realized that this was Tianmailing where he had stayed.
In addition to Political Commissar Mo and Zhou Weiguo, he was also greeted with a transfer order from headquarters.
In the office of the base, Political Commissar Mo looked at Political Commissar Ding with envy.
"Old Ding, this time the organization will hand over this strategic group to you two.
I don't know how I can fight on the battlefield like you, I'm so envious."
Political Commissar Ding said: "Why do you envy me? I have prepared a table of food in Shanxi that is enough for 300,000 people.
As a result, the dishes were cooked, the guests were ready to be served, but I was sent away. "
Political Commissar Mo: “Hahaha, what you are talking about is to coordinate the May 1st cleanup.
Our battle in Shanxi this time is to give trouble to the Japanese in the First Army.
If it really happens, I guess we will have to wait until next year.
When the war breaks out, we will need your Army Group A to become the main force in the battle."
Political Commissar Ding said with a smile: "Don't just blame me, Lao Mo, don't worry, it won't be long before you leave the mountain.
Next year, as the Japanese retreat, your position will definitely move forward.
Gansu is a strategic rear area, but it is still too far from the front. I guess you will be in Sichuan."
Political Commissar Mo: "Sichuan? Aren't you asking me to grab a position in the attendant room? What can they do?"
Political Commissar Ding: “More and more people are graduating from the Sichuan Army Young Officers Corps.
As the quality of the Sichuan Army continues to improve, the Secretariat of the Imperial Guard in the temporary capital may no longer be able to sit still.
If we can eliminate the enemy in Henan, the temporary capital will probably mobilize heavy troops to attack Wuhan.
At that time, the National Army troops in Henan and northern Hunan will jointly attack Anan and force him out of Hunan.
Without good results, they will have even less prestige in the eyes of the people.”
On April 20, a telegram signed by Mr. Zhou was sent to the headquarters of the Second War Zone.
The commander-in-chief of the Second War Zone was invited to Longshui to attend his son's wedding on May 2nd.
The commander-in-chief of the Second War Zone called back quickly and the gifts and personnel arrived within three days.
On April 21, Yoshio Shinozuka's special envoy arrived at Kenanpo and reported a piece of news to the commander of the Second War Zone.
Five days later, the Japanese and puppet troops in Shanxi will carry out a month-long sweep.
Let the commander-in-chief of the Second War Zone make some preparations in advance.
Wherever there is need for defense, then defense should be carried out; where there is need for performance, then performance should be carried out properly.
The villages that need to be burned have been decided in advance, and they will give compensation when the time comes.
If they need help rebuilding their homes, they can also send puppet troops to help.
Yoshio Shinozuka only asked the war zone commander one thing, please don't let any misunderstanding lead to a real fight.
During this period of more than half a year, they fought back and forth with the Shanxi Jinsui Army.
During the great raid two years ago, they suffered heavy losses at the hands of the Eighth Route Army.
After half a year of fraud, the losses of the Japanese First Army were finally about to be settled.
So this time he very reluctantly accepted the order from Commander Okamura of North China to carry out a large-scale security crackdown in Shanxi.
He knew that he would have to return to Japan in September of this year to serve in the reserve force.
The seniors at the base camp have already promised him that as long as his losses are acceptable, he can "land" safely.
If he were to launch a large-scale public security crackdown now, wouldn't that be the end of him?
The anti-Japanese forces in Shanxi are now so difficult to deal with than they were four years ago.
In the past, whenever they got the chance in Shanxi, they bullied the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the Eighth Route Army.
Later, the Eighth Route Army became more and more powerful, and they specifically bullied the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.
Later, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the "Song Sang" guerrilla division became friends.
This damn "Song Sang" actually made the three of them join hands to deal with his First Army. Those days were really miserable.
Many of the division and brigade commanders wrote letters in blood requesting to march south to Southeast Asia to make achievements for the emperor.
Yoshio Shinozuka knew that they were not very loyal to the Emperor, they were just scared by the Eighth Route Army.
If you think about it, a Type A division has less than 16,000 people.
Which division commander wouldn't be afraid? The superiors will send people down to count the number of people, and then he will have no choice but to commit suicide.
There was once a group of soldiers who refused to believe in evil and massacred the people of a village in the Eighth Route Army's base.
As a result, he was chased by a female cadre named Han and her men.
That group of Japanese soldiers eventually fled to Hebei.
However, they were caught up by the female Eighth Route Army and their men. They chopped off more than 800 heads and built a Jingguan (a sacred mountain) before they stopped.
Therefore, concealment and fake fighting have become the norm for the 11th Army.
In the past, a division of more than 20,000 Japanese devils, plus 30,000 to 40,000 Imperial Army troops, dared to turn the base upside down.
The current division of 16,000 people is simply unable to carry out this kind of tactical maneuver.
Perhaps during the fighting, those Imperial Army had already turned their guns around and declared an uprising.
Therefore, in the entire North China region, only the First Army of the Japanese Army in Shanxi was the best at implementing the policy of appeasement. In fact, it was just because they were scared by being beaten.
So this time, Yoshio Shinozuka revealed the information to the Second War Zone that they were starting a large-scale sweep.
As for the information about the May 1st sweep, Yoshio Shinozuka really didn't know about it.
In order to make the sweep more sudden, Okamura even concealed the First Army in Shanxi.
The commander-in-chief of the Second War Zone also replied, saying that he was going to Longshui to attend the wedding.
You kid, be honest. If you have any problems, find my chief of staff and don't make trouble for yourself.
On April 23, the commander of the Second War Zone left Kenanpo by plane with gifts and headed straight for Longshui.
On April 25, the Japanese First Army in Shanxi had already assembled its troops.
A new round of "mopping-up" operations began against the anti-Japanese armed forces in Shanxi.
Okamura in Peiping also issued an order. He mobilized the devils in Hebei and blocked the road from Shanxi to Hebei.
Ostensibly, they were on guard against the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi, but in order to avoid a raid, they retreated into Hebei.
In fact, they wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to mobilize troops and block the road to Hebei.
Let them carry out the May 1st mopping-up operation in the Jizhong Plain and achieve greater results.
On April 26, the Shanxi First Army began substantive "contact" with the troops of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.
Low-intensity combat modes like this were taken over by the theater commander's chief of staff.
Suo Wuxing looked down upon this kind of fake fight. He was afraid that he might accidentally recapture Shanxi.
On April 28, leaders of various forces, either themselves or through representatives, had gathered in Longshui County.
Because of Mr. Zhou's special status, the bigwigs in the attendant room had to send people to celebrate.
Your status cannot be too low. If it is, you will not have a chance to interrupt everyone sitting together.
The Minister of Defense did not come this time. After all, everyone knew that he and Song Wenwan had a very bad relationship.
If you come to Gansu now, wouldn't that be just causing trouble for your host?
The Minister of Military Affairs went on behalf of the Secretariat, so naturally a seat was reserved for him at the wedding preparation meeting on the 28th.
It was more like a meeting for these old friends than a wedding preparation meeting.
