The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Because of the emergence of the variable Kong Jie, under the instigation of the wings with the butterfly effect, the old devil Okamura was forced to step down early.

Okamura packed his personal belongings at the headquarters with his head downcast, and finally looked at the headquarters he had been with for many years. His mood was complicated and unspeakable for a while, and finally turned into a long sigh.

This time, the North China Front first launched an unprecedented scale of May Day raids, but ended in failure.

Then they suffered heavy losses in the air battle in Licheng, the Chengnan Airport was looted by the Eighth Route Army, and the large Japanese military airport in Shanghai suffered air attacks.

Under this series of setbacks, it is naturally Okamura, the commander-in-chief of the North China Front Army, who ultimately bears the most responsibility.

In addition to Okamura being transferred to Guadalcanal this time, the chief of staff, deputy chief of staff and officers at all levels of the North China Front Army did not transfer temporarily in order to stabilize the overall situation.

When Okamura left alone, the Japanese chief of staff brought the officers of the North China Front to see Okamura off.

The lonely Okamura didn't want to talk about sad topics. He spoke slowly, as if he was retelling what he had done since he became the commander-in-chief of the North China Front, and he seemed to be giving his final instructions.

"Since I took office, I have always advocated continuous sweeps to completely wipe out the remaining anti-Japanese armed forces, mainly the Eighth Route Army, in the imperial-occupied areas.

But after all, it was a loss. In the end, instead of successfully destroying the Eighth Route Army, it made the Eighth Route Army grow stronger in the midst of survival.

This is a dereliction of duty on my command, an unforgivable fault of mine.

After this battle is over, I think our army will be in a stalemate with the Eighth Route Army in North China for a long time to come.

Considering that the Eighth Route Army is growing stronger and our army is fighting endlessly in the Southeast Asian battlefield and the Pacific battlefield, there is an urgent need for stability in the North China rear area.

I think the operational policy of using large-scale raids to attack the Eighth Route Army base areas can be stopped here.

Since the failure of the May Day raids, it was destined that our army would no longer be able to use the mode of large-scale raids to completely wipe out the Eighth Route Army base areas and eliminate the Eighth Route Army's effective forces.

After I leave office, all of you should unite as one, unite as one, change your policy, gather scattered troops from all walks of life, occupy major counties, towns and towns, guard important communication lines, fight steadily, and have a final confrontation with the Chinese army, waiting for the changes in the Pacific and Southeast Asian battlefields to come soon Can.

Don't be greedy for merit, rashly mobilize troops, and take the initiative to attack the base areas of the Eighth Route Army..."

Okamura explained a lot in one breath, compared with usual, he seemed extra wordy.

This old devil is unwilling... Even if he can stay in this position for a few more months, he is sure that he can completely stabilize the situation, accumulate strength again, and fight the Eighth Route Army again.

It's too late to say anything, Okamura is worried that after he leaves office, the newly appointed commander will continue to suffer disastrous defeats for the North China Front Army because he underestimated the strength of the Eighth Route Army.

This is the reason for the repeated exhortations and worries now.

"Okay, I won't say anything else, everyone, for the sake of the empire and the holy war, please do your best to assist the new commander!"

After finishing speaking, Okamura, with a lonely back, officially left the headquarters under the escort of the guards, rushed to the airport, and prepared to transfer back to the reserve.

Soon after, according to the order of the Japanese Army Command, Naozaburo Okabe was reactivated, and Naozaburo Okabe was ordered to replace Okamura as the commander-in-chief of the North China Front Army to maintain law and order in North China, and to deal with the Eighth Route Army-based forces in the occupied area. Anti-Japanese armed forces.

Naosaburo Okabe is two years younger than Okamura. Like Okamura, he graduated from the Japanese Army Military Academy and the Army University, and is considered Okamura's junior.

In terms of learning from facts, this old devil still has something.

He even once thought that if he could lead the North China Front Army, he would even do better than his senior Okamura.

How can the weak Chinese, mere troops of the Eighth Route Army struggling to survive in the occupied areas, be the opponents of the majestic Japanese Empire?

In addition, this old devil not only has a very high degree of education and excellent military literacy, but also has quite a lot of experience in leading troops.

Before that, he served successively as the commander of the 1st Field Artillery Regiment of the Japanese Army, the chief of the exercise section of the Army Staff Headquarters, the chief of staff of the North China Front Army, the commander of the Mongolian Army, the principal of the Army University, and the commander of the Third Front Army of the Kwantung Army.

When he was the chief of staff of the North China Front, he was assisted by the first commander of the Japanese North China Front, Terauchi Shouichi.

The battle plan for the destruction of China in March proposed by the Japanese army rampantly.

This old devil specially strengthened his espionage activities, and created a combat strategy for the Japanese and puppet regimes to rule and invade China.

For the affairs of the North China Front Army, the old devil Okabe still knows quite well.

The Japanese military headquarters probably also considered that the Eighth Route Army in North China was gradually gaining momentum, and even China’s Tonggang Village was constantly defeated by the Eighth Route Army. Therefore, the new commander-in-chief of the North China Front Army must be someone who has a good understanding of the situation in North China. Talented commander.

Therefore, Naozaburo Okabe, who was originally still the principal after college, but was actually a bit depressed after being shelved, was re-appointed in this way, and took office with honor.

It can be said that he was ordered to die in danger.

In order to especially encourage Okabe's determination to lead the North China Front Army to suppress the Chinese Anti-Japanese Armed Forces, the Japanese army also specially awarded him the rank of general.

Speaking of which, the old devil Okabe has to thank Okamura. If Okamura hadn't been defeated too quickly by the Eighth Route Army, how could it be his turn to be reinstated so quickly?

Of course, we have to dig deeper.

"Okabe Naosaburo, an old devil, has to thank us! If we hadn't made too much noise and driven away Okamura, an old devil, would it be his turn to take office?"

In the headquarters of a team, the intelligence line sent back news that the fourth commander of the Japanese North China Front Army, Neiji Okamura, had officially resigned a few days ago and was transferred back to the reserve.

Naozaburo Okabe took over as commander-in-chief of the Japanese North China Front.

Kong Jie said with a smile.

The newly appointed commander-in-chief of the North China Front, Naozaburo Okabe, is also an old rival of the Eighth Route Army.

So how to deal with old opponents?

Kong Jie pointed out: "The so-called know yourself and the enemy, and you will never end in a hundred battles. Naozaburo Okabe is our old opponent. We know him, and he also knows our Eighth Route Army, but what he knows is our Eighth Route Army many years ago.

Now, if we want to deal with this old devil, on the one hand, we must continue to understand this old devil deeply and find his weakness.

On the other hand, we are going to create a maze and give this old devil an illusion. What illusion is it?Our Eighth Route Army is still the old opponent he was once familiar with.

To put it simply, you can give this old devil some sweetness.

To further stimulate the old devil's desire to fight, only by mobilizing the young devil can we find more loopholes for the devil to take action! "

Xu Guoan's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he immediately said with a smile, "Old Kong, I seem to understand your thoughts a little bit. I guess you want to deliberately defeat the old devil when we fight the devil after the old devil Okabe officially takes office." several games.

For example, some of the counties, towns, and towns we captured were thrown to the little devils, including Licheng, Xiangyuan and other five cities that we just captured.

In this way, wouldn't Okabe, an old devil, be able to pat his chest and say with an arrogant face that the Eighth Route Army was nothing more than that? "

Ha ha ha ha--

"Old Xu, Old Xu, you still understand me!" Kong Jie laughed.

Xu Guoan then suddenly realized, "Old Kong, I understand why, at the military meeting a while ago, when everyone was discussing whether to throw Licheng, Xiangyuan and other five cities back to the little devil according to the plan, you said wait .

Feelings, you are waiting for the old devil Okamura to step down.

Life and death are not even willing to give this little benefit to Okamura, an old devil! "

Kong Jie said: "Okamura is a bastard, we didn't find a chance to kill him completely, even if this old boy is lucky.

Over the years, we have won battles one after another. We have continuously defeated the little devil and slapped the old devil in the face. We want to tear him to pieces all his so-called dignity of the empire and the face of the soldier.

Even the old devil's last fig leaf was torn off by him.

What I want is to give this old devil endless humiliation.

Otherwise, how can we be worthy of the thousands of our compatriots who sacrificed their lives at the hands of this executioner? "

"anyway."

"From the perspective of human nature, the so-called three fires for a new official to take office. This Naozaburo Okabe has just taken over as the commander-in-chief of the North China Front Army. Once he takes office, the first thing this old devil wants to compare is the previous commander of the North China Front Army.

If Okamura continues to lose battles while he is in office, he will continue to be frustrated in our hands.

However, as soon as he took office, Okabe won successive battles, and even took down five cities including Licheng and Xiangyuan.

In this way, while we are humiliating and attacking Okamura again, we can also deliberately show weakness to the enemy and paralyze the judgment of this old devil Okabe. Maybe he really thinks that we are still the Eighth Route Army he was familiar with a few years ago!

Taking ten thousand steps back, even if we can't completely fool the little devil, at least we will send a signal to the little devil with the concession of Licheng, Xiangyuan and other five cities.

What signal?

——Our Eighth Route Army also needs to rest and reorganize after repeated battles, and there will be no military actions for the time being.

In this way, wouldn't it be very common sense for both sides to be in peace, rest and recuperate, and prepare to fight again? "

Xu Guoan came to his senses immediately and said with a smile: "I understand, I understand, haha, Lao Kong, what you mean is that we first release a false signal to the little devils and temporarily stop military operations.

Maybe it can't completely fool the Japanese army, but at least it can play the role of some fog bombs.

In this way, when we fully launch the autumn offensive, we can more or less catch him off guard! "

"That's the reason!" Kong Jie laughed, "Besides, after this series of high-intensity battles, our team really needs some time to recuperate, to accumulate strength for the upcoming autumn offensive, and prepare in advance!"

"In addition, with the May [-]th raids and the large amount of materials and equipment accumulated in the Licheng air battle, our army construction and industrial development can be a step closer.

Of course, these things, the old rules, Lao Xu and Wen Jie, this burden can be entrusted to you! "

Kong Jie acted as the shopkeeper as usual.

Political commissar Li Wenjie didn't say anything, just nodded in response.

Xu Guoan joked with a smile: "I said, Lao Kong, you are always a shopkeeper? What do you want to do when you have so much free time? Are you thinking about going back to accompany your new wife?"

"Bah bah bah!"

Kong Jie immediately retorted, "Our reputation in the whole of Northwest Shanxi, including the whole of Taihang and even Yan'an, has spread back. Who doesn't know that I, Kong Jie, am a real person. Can I do that kind of thing?
Busy, all busy!

Old Xu, do you think we are really the shopkeeper?

I'm much busier than you!

This time, after taking the leaders of Yan'an, including representatives of various countries and armies, to visit the industrial zone of our detachment, there will be a series of business cooperation behind it, and various matters need to be dealt with!

For the development of the aviation force, we have to purchase materials from Britain, the United States, the Soviet Union and other countries, including production lines and some fighter planes.

In addition, I have to find a way to continue to expand our business chain. This time, Commander Fu and Commander Tang just came over, so I have to talk to them about some business.

Which one of these tasks does not consume time, and which one does not waste energy? "

Kong Jie's words were awe-inspiring, and as expected, even Xu Guoan was frightened.

"Old Kong, so I really misunderstood you?"

"That misunderstanding is too deep!"

"Don't say anything, it's my fault, old Kong, I'll buy you a drink later, and apologize to you!"

Just like that, Kong Jie, a self-proclaimed busy man, sat on the stool of the headquarters without sitting on his buttocks for a few minutes, then left the headquarters in a hurry, and even cheated Xu Guoan of a drink for nothing.

After leaving the headquarters, go straight to work.

To talk about business, to plan the future development direction of a team!

He just walked and walked back to his small courtyard somehow.

cough cough-

As the saying goes, how can you sweep the world if you don’t sweep one house? If your wife doesn’t accompany you, how can you be a real man?

Captain Kong came with a mission... Just after several battles in succession, it's time to discuss how the follow-up team will expand political propaganda.

And my wife is the backbone of the Propaganda Department!
……

……

Beiping, the headquarters of the Japanese North China Front Army.

The headquarters is still the same headquarters, inside the house, the table is the same table, the door is the same door, and the furnishings in the house basically remain the same as before.

It's just that people have changed.

Okamura, who was thin and looked extremely dark and stern, was replaced by Naozaburo Okabe, a general of the Japanese army with a flat head and a little baldness on his head.

As the former chief of staff of the North China Front Army, Okabe still has a good understanding of things in North China.

After taking over as the commander-in-chief of the North China Front Army, he immediately held a military meeting. He first met with military officers at all levels, and then summoned intelligence agencies at all levels, emphasizing the need to speed up the collection of intelligence in all aspects.

Then, in order to clean up the mess for Okamura, Okabe tried every means to mobilize troops from the country to supplement the war damage, collect materials from all sides, and enrich the logistics.

He looked like he was ready to fight hard...
