The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 799 What a shame

Terauchi Koichi remained calm, and wanted to see how Doihara would deal with this problem.

In fact, Doihara has already received a complaint from the commander of the Seventh Army. The people involved in the complaint include Terauchi Shouichi, Togo Yoshino, and the commander of the Third Air Force. Doihara is very troubled.

For Terauchi Shouichi, Doihara had long wanted to replace him.However, Shouichi's background in Terauchi is profound, and it cannot be moved by Doihara.

Dongxiang Yoshino is also one of the important generals of the young and strong faction. He had a conflict with the commander of the Seventh Army, and Doihara could not deal with Dongxiang Yoshino.

As for the commander of the Third Air Force, the Ministry of the Army only has the right to use it, but not the right to manage it, especially not to have the right to personnel.Doihara couldn't deal with them, and he couldn't even reprimand them, otherwise, the conflict between the Ministry of War and the Air Force would deepen.

These circumstances gave Doihara a deep sense of powerlessness.He is a veteran spy, not only in a high position, but also has rich experience in Zheng Zhi. Among these people, he can only fight with each other and try to pinch them together.

Now it is obvious that the commander of the Seventh Army is on the same side as himself, and the commanders of Terauchi Shouichi, Dongxiang Yoshino and the Third Air Force are on the other side.

After weighing, Doihara decided to protect people like Shouichi in the temple first.

Therefore, he said to the commander of the Seventh Command Army: "You lost the battle in the river disaster. Not only did you not conduct a review, but instead complained about others and blamed others, and shirked responsibility. This approach is really too much. I warn you, if If there is a similar situation in the future, you will definitely be severely punished."

The commander of the Seventh Army did not expect that Doihara was targeting him. He felt a burst of sadness in his heart, and his anger rushed straight to his forehead.

But after all, he couldn't offend Doihara, he gritted his teeth and suppressed his anger, and turned his head to the side.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was depressing, and it was impossible for Doihara to discuss combat deployment in this situation.

He appeased Shouyi and the others in the temple, said some high-sounding words, and then announced the suspension of the meeting, which will resume in the morning of the day after tomorrow.

The meeting broke up unhappy, and the commander of the Seventh Army returned to the reception of the Front Army angrily.

The reception was in the compound of the front army's logistics department, and he felt very bored, so he left the front army's headquarters and found a hotel outside to live in.

That evening, the commander of the Seventh Army was about to go out for dinner, but someone came to his door, and it turned out to be Doihara.

"Your Excellency, why are you here in person?" the commander of the Seventh Army said in surprise.

Doihara said: "Miyamoto-kun, if I don't come, I'm afraid you will scold me behind my back."

The commander of the Seventh Army was Nobuo Miyamoto, and he certainly scolded Doihara behind his back, scolding him for being a fool and not having eyes.

The commander of the Seventh Army was a little embarrassed by Doihara's words. He wanted to hide a few words, but he was still angry in his heart, so he lowered his head and didn't say a word.

Doihara stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Miyamoto-kun, I understand your grievances. In fact, you did nothing wrong. Those bastards were at fault."

Hearing this, Nobuo Miyamoto felt a warm current surge into his heart, and his eye sockets were instantly moist.

He looked at Doihara gratefully, and said excitedly, "Thank you, Minister, for your understanding."

Doihara smiled and said, "Just let me stand like this and talk to you?"

Nobuo Miyamoto came to his senses, and hurriedly said, "Minister, please sit down. Come on, serve tea to Your Excellency."

After the two were seated, Doihara said: "Miyamoto-kun, that old bastard of Terauchi Toshiichi, I already wanted to drive him away, but you also know that that guy has a deep background, and I can't do anything to him for a while, I will find a way in the future The performance of Dongxiang Yoshino is disappointing. I will reprimand him severely. However, he is in the same system with us after all, and you should maintain unity with him.

In this matter, the fault was on him, and I will definitely make him apologize to you in person.

Miyamoto-kun is open-minded. For the benefit of the Yellow Army of Japan and our system, I hope you can ignore him. "

Doihara's words reached this level, and Nobuo Miyamoto's anger basically disappeared.

He said gratefully: "Your Excellency, Minister, thank you for your understanding. I still have this measure, and I won't care about that guy Dongxiang Yoshino."

Doihara and Nobuo Miyamoto drank and chatted for a long time, eliminating the misunderstanding between them.

Nobuo Miyamoto said that he must obey the minister's arrangement and go all out to assist Dongxiang Yoshino to open up the Jinpu Railway.

Next, Doihara visited Terauchi Shouichi and Togo Yoshino.

This guy scolded Miyamoto Nobuo behind his back, saying that this guy is a mad dog, biting people indiscriminately, and he has already taught that guy a lesson.

After patient and meticulous work, the leaders of the North China Front Army were finally pinched together, so that everyone could concentrate their efforts and prepare for the Tai'an campaign.

In his conversation with Doihara, Terauchi Shouichi said that a large part of the Japanese army in Shandong had dealt with Gao Jiu for a long time, and they were all afraid of Gao Jiu. It was difficult to defeat Gao Jiu by relying on these troops.

He hoped to mobilize more powerful troops, preferably those who had never dealt with Gao Jiu before and were not familiar with them.

Doihara promised him that he would find a way.

Doihara sent a telegram to the base camp, requesting to transfer new troops from China to Shandong, and then he flew to Fengtian City to meet the commander of the Kwantung Army, hoping that the Kwantung Army could deploy troops to support the Japanese army in Shandong and open up the Jinpu Railway.

After negotiation, the Kwantung Army agreed to dispatch the Second Heavy Artillery Brigade to cooperate with the North China Front Army.

The base camp soon agreed to Doihara and prepared to send the newly formed 143rd Division to Shandong.

The Air Force agreed to recruit 100 fighter jets and 66 bombers to be stationed at the airports of the First Air Force in Beiping and the Third Air Force in Jinan respectively to participate in the Tai'an operations.

In addition to these troops, the North China Front Army mobilized the 38th, 40th, and 41st Divisions of the Seventh Army, and the independent mixed Eighth Brigade to attack Luoyang and Zhengzhou, and to contain the strength of the 41st Corps of the Guojun Army.

Mobilize the 12st and 141nd divisions of the 142th Army, and the independent mixed 10th brigade to attack Tai'an from Jinan.

The Central China Front Army dispatched the Ninth Division from Xuzhou to attack Tai'an City in the north.

After occupying Tai'an City, Gao Jiu and the head of the underground party closely followed the movements of the Japanese army. They all knew that the Japanese army would inevitably attack Tai'an City and open up the Jinpu Railway.

Soon the mobilization of the Japanese army was reported one by one.

The first is the actions of the Japanese Air Force. A large number of Japanese aircraft have stationed at the airports of Beiping and Jinan. This news cannot be concealed at all. The sudden increase of so many aircraft by the devils is of course aimed at the aircraft owned by Tai'an City and Gao Jiu. of.

Immediately afterwards, a piece of news came that made Gao Jiu very worried.

In the evening, a suspicious person was caught in the outpost of the southeast army subdivision.

The accent of this person's speech is a bit weird. Anyone with experience can tell that he is Japanese, and he can't learn Chinese well.

When interrogating this person, he refused to explain his identity and purpose of coming, and insisted on seeing Gao Jiu before he would confess.

Soon after, he was sent to the headquarters of the Ludongnan Military Division in Tai'an City, and Gao Jiu personally interrogated him.

After seeing the person coming, Gao Jiu recognized him. He was the captain of the transport aircraft brigade of the Japanese Third Air Force. He had known Gao Jiu when Yokota Makio was the commander of the Third Air Force.

During his visit, he reported a very bad news, saying that Doihara personally commanded and suddenly arrested some officers and pilots in the Third Air Force. These people used to maintain close ties with the Taohuashan guerrillas.These people are currently being held at the Jinan Gendarmerie Headquarters.

The captain of the transport plane hoped that Gao Jiu could help them save people.

Gao Jiu knew that the problem was serious. The Third Air Force had always been close to Gao Jiu, and now all the people who had been placed there were arrested. That is to say, this time the Third Air Force will definitely participate in operations in the direction of Tai'an.

Gao Jiu asked clearly about the detention of the captured Japanese pilots and ground crews, and promised the captain of the Japanese transport plane to help them rescue people.

Gao Jiu immediately sent a telegram to the Jinan Station of the Military Command, saying that he would send a special operations unit to Jinan, and asked Stationmaster Xu and Deputy Stationmaster Li to assist them in rescuing the Japanese air force personnel.

Gao Jiu sent a telegram to Wang Yufeng, the head of the Beiping Station of the Military Command, asking him to closely monitor the situation of the Beiping First Air Force.

Word soon came from there that the First Air Force had also been purged and that a number of mid-level officers and pilots had been arrested.

This shows that the Japanese First Air Force in Beiping will also break the tacit understanding with Gao Jiu from now on, and Gao Jiu will face the two major Japanese air forces to fight.

There was also news from the underground party in the Northeast that the Japanese Second Heavy Artillery Brigade had gone south, and the specific destination was unclear, but they were paying close attention.

Gao Jiu sent a telegram to Gao Jingting, the commander of the Dalian Station of the Military Command, and soon after, Gao Jingting sent a telegram saying that the Japanese Army's heavy artillery brigade had already left for Shanhaiguan.

Gao Jiu also knew that this must be to join the North China Front Army to fight in the direction of Tai'an.

Then there was another piece of bad news. The telegram was sent by Li San, saying that he had learned from Captain Hirata that a Japanese cargo ship originally reported that it was going to dock at Qingdao Wharf, and then went to other places. It is not known where it went. It is clear, and Captain Hirata has received news that people from the Jinan Gendarmerie Headquarters Special High Section have secretly arrived in Qingdao and are investigating the loss of the last batch of 240mm heavy mortars.

Judging from these circumstances, Gao Jiu believes that there may be a batch of Japanese 240mm heavy mortars that will land in Shandong soon, and it is unclear which port they will go to.

Gao Jiu immediately sent a telegram to Bao Yuchun, asking her to learn about the situation of Japanese cargo ships docking and loading and unloading at other ports along the coast of Shandong through the gang relationship, hoping to find out the whereabouts of the newly transported Japanese heavy mortars.

President Fujiwara is currently still in Japan, and he also sent a telegram to Gao Jiu, saying that the newly formed 143rd Division of the Japanese Army has boarded the ship from Osaka Port, and the destination is Qingdao, Shandong.

Obviously, this is also aimed at this Tai'an battle.

Zhou Mingshan also sent a telegram, saying that the Japanese army in the direction of Henan was mobilizing, and there was an attempt to attack Luoyang and Zhengzhou again.

After Gao Jiu heard the information, he couldn't help but smile wryly.Unexpectedly, in order to open up the Jinpu Railway and recapture Tai'an City, the Japanese army spent such a large amount of money.

This afternoon, the person in charge of the underground party came to Gao Jiu, saying that he had received instructions from his superiors, that the enemy situation was too serious this time, and asked them to abandon Tai'an City, so as to prevent the troops of the southeastern and southwestern military subdivisions from suffering serious damage. loss.As for the Jinpu Railway, a sabotage campaign can be carried out, and the goal of cutting off the Jinpu Railway can also be achieved.

The superior asked the person in charge of the underground party to discuss with Gao Jiu and evacuate Tai'an City as soon as possible.

To be honest, the capture of Tai'an City this time was requested by the underground party. They wanted to evacuate, and Gao Jiu had no objection.

Gao Jiu believes that the decision made by the underground party is correct. At present, the enemy is still strong and we are weak, so there is no need to compete with the Japanese and puppet troops for consumption.Since the underground party wanted to do this, Gao Jiu naturally had no objection.

However, Gao Jiu still hopes to fight a battle in Tai'an City, eat up part of the Japanese army, and delay the time for the Japanese army to open up the Jinpu Railway.This is not only beneficial to the development of the Anti-Japanese War situation in other parts of the country, but also prevents the Japanese army from turning its attention to the direction of the river disaster.

The opinion of the person in charge of the underground party is the same as Gao Jiu's. He hopes to seize the time to sweep up the Japanese and puppet grassroots organizations around Tai'an City and expand their base areas.

After discussion, they sent a telegram to the superiors of the Shandong underground party organization, expounding their opinions.

The higher-level organization of the Shandong underground party agreed to their request, asking them not to love to fight when the enemy is aggressively attacking, and to keep the main force of the southeastern and southwestern Shandong military divisions as the main goal.The specific actions will be discussed and implemented by Gao Jiu and the person in charge of the underground party.

When these bad news kept coming, there was finally good news.

After Gao Jiu obtained this batch of 240mm heavy mortars, they seized a large number of shells at that time, but after using it for a period of time, there are not many shells left.

When the batch of shells had just been seized, Gao Jiu took out a mortar and a few shells and sent someone to the arsenal in the Golden Triangle.

Although the current technological level of the Golden Triangle cannot produce 240mm mortars due to the lack of special steel, the production of shells is not a problem at all.The engineers and technicians of the arsenal disassembled the shells sent in the past, measured the relevant data, and quickly processed and manufactured them. After testing, they can completely reach the level of the original Japanese mortar shells. At present, they have been put into mass production. The first batch of imitation mortar shells will be sent in days later.
