Bright sword!I am the head of Shanxi Northwest Wolf Warriors

Chapter 147 Major Adjustment

Yan'an received news of the restoration of Northwest Shanxi!
The news was telegraphed to the whole of China immediately.

At the same time, all the propagandists of our party were arranged to start madly propagandizing that the Eighth Route Army would regain Northwest Shanxi.

You must know that China has been losing ground since the start of the war, and there has never been news of the Chinese army regaining lost ground. Once this news spreads across the country, it will definitely shock the whole country.

Not long after the Yan'an plain code telegram was sent.

The news that Northwest Shanxi was restored by the Eighth Route Army was put on Bald Jiang's table.

Jiang Guangtou immediately called the senior generals of the Ministry of Defense to discuss the matter.

At the meeting, more than a dozen senior generals of the national army were scolded bloody, and Jiang Guangtou severely reprimanded the senior generals of the national army for their inaction.

After the meeting.

Jiang Guangtou issued a strict order to the Central Command and the Military Command, telling them to find out the specific situation of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, why the Eighth Route Army was able to recover Northwest Shanxi with only one 386th Brigade.

Bald Jiang was naturally very familiar with Brigadier Chen of the Eighth Route Army, because Brigadier Chen had once escaped with Jiang Bald on his back.

Brigadier Chen regained Northwest Shanxi with only one brigade, but the Kuomintang's dozen or so troops were defeated by the Japanese army on the front line. This is a complete disgrace to the Kuomintang.

that day!Jiang Guangtou directly gave a clear order to General Xue Yue on the front line. The third Changsha battle must show the demeanor of the Kuomintang, and the limelight of our party must be completely suppressed.

Xue Yue received the order!It is even more urgent to prepare for the third Changsha battle. This time, she must use her Tianfu tactics to inflict heavy damage on the Japanese army and wipe out Anan Keiki's [-] troops in Changsha. Only in this way can he be worthy of the principal, the party and the country, To the people of the country.

After two battles in Changsha, Xue Yue didn't take much advantage, and it can even be said that he suffered a small loss.

Jiang Guangtou did not intend to carry out the third Changsha battle, but because the Eighth Route Army regained Northwest Shanxi, the hearts of the people have begun to favor our party. popular support.

Fortunately, Xue Yue continued to invite the battle, and at the same time said that the third Changsha battle was very sure, Jiang Guangtou's heart was a little more stable.

…………

Shanxi Taiyuan Command!
Shinozuka Yoshio naturally received the plain code telegram from Yan'an, and the atmosphere at the Taiyuan Headquarters was extremely serious at this time.

Yoshio Shinozuka's face was so gloomy that it could rain!None of the officers in the entire command had a good face.

In the Taiyuan headquarters, a lieutenant general and a major general were captured, and two major generals were killed. Dozens of rank-and-file officers and hundreds of lieutenant-level officers and more than 5 imperial soldiers were wiped out. Northwest Shanxi was completely lost. Yoshio Shinozuka could not bear the responsibility for the crime.

Shinozuka Yoshio knew that his future was completely gone, and there was a high possibility that he would go to a military court. After all, he participated in the drafting and approval of the entire Shanxi battle plan, and he was half responsible for the failure of the Shanxi battlefield.

Lieutenant General Yoshio Yanmatsu was even more angry. He would have returned to the empire in a short time, but he needed to take great responsibility for this battle in Shanxi. He wanted to continue to return to the empire after success. Such chances can be said to be very slim.

Shinozuka Yoshio gritted his back teeth, and said in a low voice: "Everyone! We lost the battle in the northwest of Shanxi. Lieutenant General Ito Takuba buried nearly [-] soldiers of the empire, resulting in nine counties in the northwest being captured by the Eighth Route Army. Preemption, this is a disgrace to our Shanxi Command, but also a disgrace to our entire empire.

With our current military strength in Shanxi, there is no possibility at all to regain the entire northwest of Shanxi. Now we must guard places such as central Shanxi, southern Shanxi, southeastern Shanxi, etc. We must not allow the Eighth Route Army to continue to expand the results of the war. Every county under the control of our empire The defense must be rotated in three shifts, and vigilance must be raised at night. Which county's highest chief is losing the county?Go directly to the Military Law Office to receive the punishment. "

Shinozuka Yoshio no longer has any extravagant hopes. What he can do now is to stick to the whole of Shanxi, waiting for the commander-in-chief of the North China Dispatch Army Toshi Tada to give instructions to Shanxi and punish him at the same time.

"Hi!"

Everyone in the headquarters said in unison!

Everyone in the headquarters retreated, and went to work on their own.

Shinozuka Yoshio and Iwamatsu Yoshio looked at each other, and both showed meaningful wry smiles.

……

Peiping.

North China Dispatch Army Command.

Tada Hayao, the commander-in-chief of the North China Dispatch Army, is furious at the headquarters.

Although Tada Hayao is also a lieutenant general, he is indeed Yoshio Shinozuka's immediate superior, the commander of the North China Army, and he is in charge of hundreds of thousands of devils.

Tada Jun has the final say in North China, and he is naturally the first person responsible for any problems with the Shanxi First Army.

Hayao Tada said to Naozaburo Okabe, chief of staff of the North China Dispatch Army: "Okabe-kun! The Commander-in-Chief of the First Army, Shinozuka Yoshio, made such a big mistake, what do you think I should do to let the North China Dispatch Only with a military uniform, can Commander Nishio Shouzo recognize him."

Naozaburo Okabe said calmly: "Yoshio Shinozuka made a mistake in leadership, resulting in the death of [-] troops of the Empire, and they were directly handed over to the Imperial Military Law Office.

Ito Tuoba made a mistake in leading the army and was captured by the Eighth Route Army. If he can return to our army, he will be directly handed over to the Imperial Military Law Office.

Yoshio Iwamatsu was jointly and severally responsible for failing to recognize the situation in time, resulting in heavy losses for the empire, and he was also directly handed over to the Imperial Military Law Office. "

"Mr. Okabe! Directly handing over the three top generals of the Shanxi First Command to the Military Law Department will indeed allow me to explain to His Excellency Commander Nishio Shouzo, but if this is done, the North China First Army will be completely abolished. The first army will also panic."

Jun Tada said: "This way of handling is inappropriate. We still have to change the way of handling. It can alert Yoshio Shinozuka and the others, but it can't completely abolish the First Army dispatched by North China."

After thinking for a while, Naozaburo Okabe said: "Send Okamura-kun (Ningji Okamura) to take over the North China Dispatch First Army, Shinozuka Yoshio and Iwamatsu Yoshio are all demoted to major generals to stay in the headquarters. If they perform well, they can be considered. Return to office.

Neiji Okamura is fully capable of holding down the First Army and at the same time stabilizing the situation in Shanxi. At the same time, the punishment of Yoshio Shinozuka and Yoshio Iwamatsu will not discourage the sending of the First Army in North China.

At the same time, the First Dispatch Army now has too few troops. It can send the Totiao Division that the Empire has just sent to the North China battlefield to Shanxi for use. This will stabilize the situation in Shanxi more quickly and allow Mr. Okamura to quickly move Northwest Shanxi Income cyst again. "

"That's a good idea! Downgrading them two levels in a row can really serve as a warning, allowing them to stay in Shanxi, and it can also stabilize the mood of the Shanxi First Army. Let's do it like this."

Tada Jundao: "About Okamura-kun's appointment! It's up to you to speak to Okamura-kun in person."

"Okay! Let me talk to Mr. Gangcun. It is indeed a little inferior to let him be the commander-in-chief of the first army dispatched to North China, but now the empire needs someone like him. I believe Mr. Gangcun will understand Mr. Tada. Sincerely."

Naozaburo Okabe continued: "However, we will deal with it this way! It will be hard to say in front of His Excellency Commander Nishio Hiszo. At that time, I am afraid you will bear more anger of His Excellency Nishio Hiszo."

"It doesn't matter! As the commander-in-chief of the North China Expeditionary Army, I should indeed take the primary responsibility for such problems in the North China First Army."

Tada Jundao: "As long as the situation in Shanxi can be stabilized! When the battle on the front line is won, we will naturally be able to regain the lost places in Shanxi.

Even if Commander-in-Chief Nishio Hisao is dissatisfied, at most he will reprimand me, which will not have much impact on me, but if I cannot stabilize the situation in Shanxi and cause dissatisfaction among the high-level officials in the empire, then I will It's a really big crisis. "

Hayao Tada reported the aftermath of the Shanxi incident to Commander-in-Chief of the China Dispatch Force Hisao Nishio, and at the same time told Commander-in-Chief Hisao Nishio that such problems would not recur in the future.

Commander-in-Chief Hisao Nishio scolded Hayao Tada for an hour, and finally brought the incident to light.

Commander-in-Chief Hisao Nishio has made it clear that the North China Expeditionary Force will have problems like the Shanxi incident again.

Okabe Naozaburo conveyed to Okamura Ningji the order of Tada Hayao, commander of the North China Dispatch Army, and Okamura Ningji readily accepted Tada Hayao's order.

After handing over the work, Neiji Okamura immediately rushed to the headquarters of the First Army in Taiyuan, Shanxi.

10 Month 15 Day!
12 o'clock noon.

Ningji Okamura came to the Shanxi First Command.

Shinozuka Yoshio summoned all the senior generals of the Shanxi First Army in Taiyuan.

Ningji Okamura announced in person the adjustment of Hayao Tada's appointment to the Shanxi First Army.

Yoshio Shinozuka and Yoshio Iwamatsu were demoted from lieutenant general to major general, and they didn't say a word of rebuttal.

Because they knew that Commander Tada Hayao had given him a favor, otherwise it would not be an exaggeration to send the two of them to a military court.

After everyone in the Taiyuan Command got to know each other!Neiji Okamura directly released all the others, leaving only Yoshio Shinozuka and Yoshio Iwamatsu.

Neiji Okamura asked Yoshio Shinozuka: "Mr. Shinozuka! How many imperial troops are left in the Shanxi First Army? Where are these troops stationed? Which generals are these troops commanded by? What kind of character?

At the same time, how many Imperial Association troops can we call in Shanxi!The characters of these Baoxie army generals. "

"Report to Commander Gangcun! The Shanxi First Army now has 52000 regiments with a total of about [-] troops.

2 troops are stationed in the Jinzhong area, led by... with a character of....

2 troops are stationed in the southern Shanxi area, led by... character.

12 troops stationed in the southeast of Shanxi, commanded by…, character…. "

Yoshio Shinozuka said a lot to Ningji Okamura, and Yoshio Iwamatsu added some deficiencies.

Ningji Okamura asked a lot of questions about the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi, and at the same time focused on the 386 Brigade in Northwest Shanxi.

After listening to the reports of Shinozuka Yoshio and Iwamatsu Yoshio, Okamura Ningji felt that the two knew very little about the Eighth Route Army, and even less about the 386th Brigade.

Although Ningji Okamura was very annoyed, but he had just come to the Shanxi First Army as the commander, and he couldn't directly flirt with the former commander of the Shanxi First Army, so he had no choice but to let Shinozuka Yoshio and Iwamatsu Yoshio go.

However, Gangcun Ningci Jiang intelligence agency No. 76 and Tegaoke caught him. As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you can win a hundred battles. If the Eighth Route Army can make such a big commotion in Shanxi, Gangcun Ningci will definitely not underestimate the Eighth Route Army.

……

It has only been one day since the Eighth Route Army recaptured Northwest Shanxi, and there have been overwhelming newspapers in the national territory to promote this matter. Although the Kuomintang intends to ban it, they dare not blatantly touch public opinion. In the end, they can only use some strength in secret .

However, with the cooperation of our party's underground comrades and the help of newspapers and newspapers from many people with lofty ideals, the sharp weapon used in the Kuomintang case did not work.

A large number of newspapers published by the Eighth Route Army in the occupied areas also appeared in Northwest Shanxi. The Japanese naturally had zero tolerance for such newspapers and seized a large number of newspaper offices. At the same time, they also arrested many members of our party and patriots.

But no matter how the Japanese army seized them, such newspapers were still circulating in the occupied areas, and at the same time, the people in the occupied areas also began to spread word of mouth. The Japanese army had no way to control public opinion in the occupied areas.

The Eighth Route Army recaptured Northwest Shanxi, giving China's anti-Japanese war a shot in the arm, and awakened some of the Chinese people who had lost confidence.

Countless people with lofty ideals rushed to Northwest Shanxi over mountains and mountains, wanting to go to Northwest Shanxi to participate in the Eighth Route Army's war of resistance against devils!

Countless talents began to flock to Northwest Shanxi!This is the power of example.

Whether it is the state-occupied area or the enemy-occupied area, some people who have the ability to fight the war are running to the northwest of Shanxi.

Many people think that China's hope lies in Yan'an in Northwest Shanxi!
The most exciting people in the whole of China are the people in Northwest Shanxi, because they have changed from the people in the enemy-occupied area to the people in the land area. As long as the Japanese devils do not fight back, they will not continue to be bullied by the devils.

The Eighth Route Army established people's governments in various cities in Northwest Shanxi, and at the same time transported a large amount of weapons and materials to the counties. From this point, it can be seen that the Eighth Route Army is preparing to station and defend various counties in Northwest Shanxi for a long time, and the people are naturally happier.

People throughout Northwest Shanxi cheered on the streets to welcome the Eighth Route Army's successful recovery of the county. At the same time, many people also sent food to the Eighth Route Army.

It's just that the Eighth Route Army has its own steel-like discipline, so naturally it will not accept gifts from the people!
The strict self-requirements of the Eighth Route Army in the county won unanimous praise from the people, and the people had a deeper understanding of the Eighth Route Army.

These people were all ruled by the Kuomintang and the Japanese at the same time, and now they are under the jurisdiction of the Eighth Route Army.

Who treats them well?The people naturally have a steelyard in their hearts. All the people know that the Japanese rule is the most brutal. Although the Kuomintang rule is better, it is far behind the Eighth Route Army's jurisdiction.

The Eighth Route Army began conscription in nine counties in northwestern Shanxi, and at the same time the conscription points were placed in various towns and villages under the jurisdiction of the counties.

As soon as the Eighth Route Army started to recruit troops, the people responded positively, and a large number of people with lofty ideals poured into the Eighth Route Army!
With a large number of recruits joining, the military expansion plan of the 386 brigade is naturally proceeding in an orderly manner.
