Sign in at the start of the Sword

Chapter 144, in that era, the Hundred Regiments War was a "forbidden word"

"Yamamoto-kun, do you know what heart-digging warfare is?"

Shinozuka Yoshio was angry and was asking Kazuki Yamamoto who had just returned.

After spending more than three days, Yamamoto, who returned from crossing the mountains, lowered his head in shame: "General, please clarify."

Yoshio Shinozuka's face remained unchanged, and he was very dissatisfied with Kazuki Yamamoto's failure to complete the task he had given him, which caused the Empire of Japan to lose an excellent general.

He knew that Kazuki Yamamoto could only do it if he was willing to pay the price.

If he can't do it, it can only show that he wants to preserve his strength.

Even if Yoshio Shinozuka appreciates him, it is difficult for him to develop a good impression of this kind of behavior.

He said slowly: "The Eighth Route Army of China launched this battle, which caused huge losses to the Great Japanese Empire.

The North China Dispatch Army Command referred to this campaign as the "heart-digging battle", and in the future, August th will be the anniversary of the heart-digging battle. "

Kazuki Yamamoto heard the sound of beating, and pleaded guilty with a straight posture: "General, I failed to discover the intention of the Eighth Route Army. It was my dereliction of duty. Please come down to me, General."

In the past year, Kazuki Yamamoto has mainly targeted the Eighth Route Army.The intelligence system of the entire First Army is convenient for him.

It can be said that he is one of the intelligence advisors Yoshio Shinozuka fought against the Eight Routes.

The Eighth Route Army launched the Hundred Regiments War, but Kazuki Yamamoto was unaware of it, which is a serious dereliction of duty.

But it's not right to blame him alone.

After all, the entire intelligence system in North China is blind and deaf, and no one has discovered the Eighth Route Army's combat intentions.

Professionals are not good, not to mention that Kazuki Yamamoto is mainly engaged in special operations, and intelligence is just a sideline.

"Forget it, this can't be said to be your fault, but it's because the imperial army is too scarce and too scattered. I've said it a long time ago, and these guys just don't listen."

Shinozuka Yoshio didn't intend to pursue further, but complained dejectedly.

As early as March, when the North China Front Army held a meeting of various corps, Shinozuka Yoshio gave an explanation and preached at that time:

"The current situation of highly dispersed deployment of troops is extremely unfavorable to the education and training of the army. I think centralized deployment should be resumed as soon as possible."

However, the deputy chief of staff of the North China Front, Hirata, said at the meeting: "Centralized deployment is of course what we hope for most.

However, considering the current state of public security in North China, we still have to continue to implement decentralized deployment during the current period. "

Decentralized deployment is a "have to", and that's a good word to use.

In front of Kazuki Yamamoto, Yoshio Shinozuka vividly learned what Deputy Chief of Staff Hirata said at the time:

"It's simply that the large group of bandits has fallen apart and has little collective power. Even if a small army is used to fight, there is no danger. This is a good time to actively fight."

After learning how to speak, Yoshio Shinozuka commented extremely rudely:

"Stupid, his wrong judgment of the situation caused the imperial army of Japan to face annihilation, but he is still unconscious. He has to be responsible for it."

There was some righteous indignation in Shinozuka Yoshio's words at this time, and Kazuki Yamamoto could hear it, but he still echoed a few words.

In fact, Deputy Chief of Staff Hirata knew very well at the time that the Eighth Route Army was likely to take advantage of the weakness of the front line being too long and the emptiness in the rear, and something would happen sooner or later.

But you can't have your cake and eat it too.

The country wants to play snakes and swallow elephants. If there is no good appetite, it will be ruined. There is no way.

It is impossible for them to spit out the occupied place.That's all I can do.

When people get old, they chatter. If they continue to work in this position, Shinozuka Yoshio feels that he will lose ten years of his life.

After rambling on for a long time, he finally stopped and started to care about some more important things.

"Yamamoto-kun, you came back from Yangquan, which unit of the Eighth Route Army attacked Yangquan?"

On the way back, Yamamoto caught a few ordinary people, but it was just to find out.

"It's the th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment."

"The th Brigade is still a new regiment." Yoshio Shinozuka found out, and was a little surprised, but not too surprised.

The name of the th brigade, his ears could almost hear the callus.This brigade of the Eighth Route Army caused them considerable losses.

Shinozuka Yoshio personally ordered the deployment of troops to fight against the th Brigade.On the tanks and armored vehicles that were mopped up, there were words dedicated to the th Brigade.

Xinyituan was no stranger, and Sakata Dazuo died at the hands of this Xinyituan.Shentou Ridge became Sad Ridge, and it was the Xintuan who did it.

Now add another Yangquan and a major general.

In the hands of the Eighth Route Xinyi Regiment, it can be said that there is a blood debt from the imperial army.

"Who is the commander of the new regiment?" Shinozuka Yoshio asked coldly.

Kazuki Yamamoto bowed his head slightly: "Ashamed, we don't know much about Eighth Route's intelligence. We still don't know the name of the commander of the new regiment."

Before the Japanese army invaded China, they carried out espionage activities wantonly and collected military information.

But at that time, the Eighth Route Army was still a local armed force, and it had been encircled and suppressed all the time, so it was not taken seriously by the Japanese army.

Therefore, information about the Eighth Route Army has always been very scarce.

"I remember that the new regiment was an important task half a year ago, and it was entrusted to you."

Shinozuka Yoshio said with an unwavering expression.He has always had a good memory for impressive things.

"Could it be that I was going to sneak attack the new regiment, but I didn't expect to miss it?"

That's even more humiliating.

Kazuki Yamamoto did not explain, but reassured again: "The new regiment of the Eighth Route Army will become the primary goal of my special forces."

In summer, Ding Wei, who was on his way under the sun, couldn't help but sneezed a few times.

He still doesn't know it now, and he is taking the blame for Li Yunlong again.He was also targeted by an extremely poisonous snake.

"Head, don't you have a cold?" the guard asked with concern.

These days, the weather is not very good, and sometimes it rains suddenly.It is easy to catch a cold and have a fever in the rain.

Ding Wei waved his hand to show that he was fine, and leaned against the side of the road. He was very relieved to see the long queue constantly carrying supplies.

Today is already September nd.

The troops that liberated Yangquan have begun to retreat into the mountains one after another.

On the same day, reinforcements from the Japanese army had arrived at both ends of Zhengtai Road, attempting to attack the Eighth Route Army from east to west.

The butterfly effect produced by taking Yangquan has affected the entire Japanese army in North China.

……

Chongqing Zengjiayan 101 Mansion combines Chinese and Western styles and is a very modern villa.

This is one of the four major residences of the Chairman in Chongqing.Take turns accepting the chairman's favor.

At this time, there were several newly arrived newspapers in front of the chairman, namely "Ta Kung Pao", "Li Bao" and "Xinhua Daily".

They are all reporting the Hundred Regiments Campaign waged by the Eighth Route Army.

A few days ago, the chairman was embarrassed and helpless after hearing the news of the Eighth Route Army's victory in the Hundred Regiments War behind enemy lines.

He believes that the maker of this news should be his regular army, not the communist army that he has pursued for many years.

But he couldn't help but express, so he could only pinch his nose and send a telegram of commendation to the Eighth Route Army headquarters.

The spokesperson of the enemy army once admitted the large scale of our army's dispatch this time, and acknowledged the huge damage of Pinghan, Tongpu, and Zhengtai.

Not only that, the day before yesterday our army went deeper into Pingjin, the heart of the enemy army, and destroyed the railway between Langfang and Luohua, blocking the traffic in Pingjin.

This offensive has just been launched, and it has been unprecedentedly fierce, and it has reaped good results; but the three armies have used their lives, everyone is brave, and the offensive is fierce, and the results of the battle will continue to expand.

The victory of the north is at the beginning, and the significance in the overall situation is particularly important, try to put it briefly. "

"The north is winning the battle, which will be the prelude to the victory of the autumn battle; the north is winning the battle, which will be the forerunner of the sons and daughters of Dahe Heishui to fight back to their hometown!
Standing on the anti-Japanese war command platform (Chongqing), we look forward to the victory of our hometown. This victory will merge with the victories on all battlefields and will completely destroy the exhausted enemy army! "

Other newspapers are like Ta Kung Pao, all of them hyped for the victory of the Northern Eighth Route.

The commentary articles published in the "Xinhua Daily" sponsored by the Eighth Route Army were even more incomprehensible.

These reports inspired the anti-war morale of the whole people.

But in the eyes of the chairman, these articles are simply a mockery of him.

"Come on!"

Immediately, the secretary on duty opened the door and came in.

The chairman grabbed the pile of newspapers, brushed them and threw them on the secretary: "I don't want to hear the word Hundred Regiments War again. Any news about the Hundred Regiments War is forbidden to be published."

The secretary was taken aback for a moment, and immediately responded, picked up the newspaper on the ground and returned it.

The next day, the Central Propaganda Department copied and distributed the chairman's telegram, absolutely banning secret letters related to the text of the "Hundred Regiments War".

"Recently, the word Hundred Regiments War has often been recorded in the newspapers,...this term and related news are absolutely prohibited from being published in the future, and it will be implemented immediately."

The chairman of the committee couldn't bear to see the achievements of the Eighth Route Army, so he strictly prohibited the newspaper from publishing it.

But he also had to admit that the guerrilla tactics of the Eighth Route Army were very effective.

Soon, a training was issued: "Instructions on Strengthening Guerrilla Warfare Using the 18th Army's Hundred-Regiment War as the Rule".

"After summarizing and finding out, the gist of guerrilla tactics is adequate preparation, secretive operations, and thoughtful reconnaissance;

And its basis is to participate in the organization and love of the people in the various theaters behind the enemy. Each theater should have the 18th Army,
The guerrilla sabotage operations in Zhengtai, Tongpu, and Pinghan have been taken as a rule, and a long-term plan has been drawn up from September to December this year to strengthen guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines.
Planned and organized long-term destruction of railways, highways, waterways, military depots, warehouses, airports, automobiles, gasoline engines, etc. "

The chairman is a smart man, and he also saw that "the foundation is to participate in the organization and care of the people in the various theaters behind the enemy",
But his sorrow also lies in this, even if he sees it, he has nothing to do.

In the midst of helplessness, doing the opposite is the sorrow of sorrow.

Change will lead to the collapse of the party, and failure to change will lead to the collapse of the country.

It also paved the way for his later failure.

PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket! !
The secret letter related to the text of the Hundred Regiments War was suppressed, which was found from the files of the Guo Party during the War of Liberation.

It is now stored in Nanjing Second Historical Archives.

Can a diary be a good person?Anyway, it's enough to be careful.
