Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 624: Okamura Neji takes action

Before Tang Qiuli launched the battle of Jingxingguan, the doubts in his mind were finally solved, and he clearly grasped the strategic intentions of the new commander of the North China Expeditionary Force, Okamura Neiji. He had already made a plan in his mind. Okamura Neiji smashed my

Family wealth, then I will dig out your lair. It's just that the one who strikes is more ruthless, faster, and has more concentrated power.

However, he did not dare to underestimate Okamura Neiji, an old devil. During the same period in history, Okamura Neiji's method of dealing with the anti-Japanese base areas in the Taihang Mountains of North China was the "Three Lights" policy, which strengthened public security in North China and made it the rear of the Greater East Asia Jihad.

The base fundamentally destroyed the human and material foundation of the Eighth Route Army. To put it figuratively speaking, if the river water is washed dry, the fish will naturally surface, be exposed to the sun, **, and die.

History is that this period was also the most difficult time for the Eighth Route Army's Taihang Mountain anti-Japanese base area. The methods used by the Japanese army under Yamaguchi to raid the Taihang Mountains were nothing compared to Okamura Ningji, and are not worth mentioning. Okamura

Ningci, an old devil, is very talented in doing such a thing. If possible, he would blow up the Taihang Mountains and throw them into the Yellow Sea.

However, it depends on which opponent he encounters. If he meets Mr. Tang, he will be unlucky and have a bad time. He is familiar with this old devil's techniques. If he knows what moves his opponent will make, everything will be easy. What's more, if he returns

Okamura Neiji has prepared a new opponent. He has watched a good show. Thinking of this, Tang Qiuli laughed ferociously again, the scars on his face shining brightly.

This time, Mei Ting and Mei Xue couldn't stand it anymore. The teacher's image was going to be ruined. They both came over, one on each side, and pinched his ribs secretly. Tang Qiuli was immersed in sexual desire and almost screamed out in pain.

, a soft little hand blocked his mouth. It was Mei Xue. When the staff officer and correspondent saw this scene, they couldn't help covering their mouths and snickering.

Tang Qiuli managed to get rid of his two jade hands as if begging for mercy. Mei Ting and Mei Xue rolled their eyes at him in victory. Tang Qiuli smiled awkwardly. Looking at the plump figures of the two sisters, Pingting couldn't help but swallow.

He took a sip of saliva, the sound was so loud that he was startled.

Tang Qiuli withdrew his gaze, ordered the communications staff to record the message, and then issued a military pre-order for the "Shanxi-Hebei Sword" operation. Tang Qiusheng's regiment and Feng Jiwu's regiment, which participated in the battle of Jingxingguan, were ready for battle and ready to launch an attack at any time. Tang Qiuquan's

The special operations detachment all returned to the Taihang Mountains. As a team, they monitored Okamura Neiji's actions in all directions and looked for opportunities to attack the Japanese rear bases and supply lines.

Sun Zhenbang's troops were confronting the Kwantung Army's Southward Regiment in the Shexian area. When the Japanese army launched an attack, they adopted the tactics of continuous resistance to lure the enemy deep into the army. They used the regiment as a unit to disperse the attacking Japanese troops to every corner of the Taihang Mountains.

, look for favorable fighter opportunities, concentrate forces, and annihilate them along the way. Remember not to fight desperately to stop them. At the same time, closely monitor all actions of the Japanese army. No matter how big or small, everything must be reported to the division commander immediately.

The brigades directly under the ** Division Headquarters, as strategic reserves, moved to the front line in Anyang, Henan, looking for opportunities to occupy Handan and Wu'an, and cut off the retreat of the Japanese troops attacking the Taihang Mountains. Local governments at all levels in the Taihang Mountain base area immediately organized the masses in the base area to clear the country and clear the country.

With the transfer to the west of Shanxi, the local government must properly resettle the transferred people, learn the lessons from the Sucheng massacre, and prevent the Japanese troops who entered the base area from capturing any of our citizens.

I sent a telegram to General Zhu De and General Peng Dehuai, urging all departments of the Eighth Route Army to rush to the Taihang Mountain combat area in the shortest possible time. This is another major relocation of the base area. Fortunately, there are no heavy industrial bases in the Taihang Mountain area, so it is much easier to walk. Okamura

Neji

Once you enter the Taihang Mountains, you will know what it is like. I will gather two regiments and dig out your lair. If you come back for reinforcements, my strategic reserve team will set up an ambush halfway along the way to make you miserable. In fact, this is

Let’s see whose pots and jars are worth more and whose losses will be greater.

Tang Qiuli had a big appetite this time. He wanted to make dumplings for the Kwantung Army's southward marching corps. After dealing with this Japanese army, he would be able to free up a corps of troops. Joining in that direction would play a decisive role. He suddenly remembered Huang

Could the cliff cave be the main target for capture by the Japanese army?

Except for Dingbian, all the family assets of the Grand Master are in Huangyadong. When I thought of this, I broke out in a cold sweat. How could I ignore such an important place? Okamura Neji would not be careless.

With the purpose of wandering around the Taihang Mountains, he will definitely try every possible means to find the location of Huangya Cave. Where can tens of thousands of new soldiers be trained, as well as the arsenal, and all the supplies of the Army Division? Lose Huangya Cave and occupy Shijiazhuang.

It’s not worth the gain.

He immediately ordered the Niu Manshan Department of the 9th Brigade of the **, the Tang Qiushan Department of the 6th Artillery Brigade, the Xiaofeng Department of the 2nd Workers' Anti-Japanese Brigade of the ** Workers' Anti-Japanese Brigade, and the Jiang Yanming Department of the Huangyadong Guard Brigade to immediately go to Huangyadong to serve as Huangyadong guards.

Mission, one for three infantry brigades

The artillery brigade, with more than 40,000 troops, should be enough to deal with the Japanese siege. I was still worried after thinking about it, so I asked Chang Feng, the chief of staff of the Army Division, to serve as the Huangyadong security commander, with full authority to command all Huangyadong troops. There is only one requirement,

Ensure that Huangya Cave is intact.

Everything that needs to be done is done, and they are just waiting for the old devil Okamura Neiji to launch an attack. When his cannon fires, that is when the troops from the Niangziguan direction take action, all the plans seem to be impeccable, and there will be no more

To add to this, when Meng Ding was free, Tang Qiuli felt he had nothing to do and wandered around in the headquarters.

Tang Qiuli stepped up the deployment of troops here, and Neji Okamura, who was in Handan, was not idle either. He moved the headquarters of the North China Expeditionary Army to Handan. In his opinion, the closer the headquarters is to the front line, the greater the possibility of victory.

Okamura Neiji scorned the practice of Kozuki Kiyoshi in Peiping, relying on a telephone line and a few telegrams to command a battle thousands of miles away. A commander who did not visit the front line in person could not successfully fight the battle.

of every battle.

Since he discovered Tang Qiuli's fate, he devoted all his energy to this long-awaited battle. In the eyes of Okamura Neji, the Taihang Mountains are more important than anywhere else in North China. Occupying the Taihang Mountains

First, it can completely destroy the logistics of Tang Qiuli's North China Army.

Secondly, the supply base can cut off the connection between Shanxi and Henan. Shanxi will become an isolated place. If you move westward, you can occupy the entire Shanxi. That Yan Xishan, Okamura Neji did not take it seriously at all. Okamura Neji thinks

, as long as he punches Shanxi, Yan Xishan will fall to the ground.

Moving eastward, you can attack Henan and Shandong. The geographical location of the Taihang Mountains is too important. It is a place to look around and take advantage of the geographical convenience. He carefully studied all the telegrams of the Yamaguchi troops in the Taihang Mountains and came to a conclusion.

So the whole jade is broken into pieces, and the root

The reason is that Yamaguchi does not understand strategy, Kozuki Kiyoshi made a mistake in his command, and after Isotani Rensuke's First Army was shattered, Yamaguchi's troops should immediately withdraw from the Taihang Mountains and return to the Pingjin area, instead of staying in Wuxiang, which is far away from the rear base, and Yan

The Jin army in Xishan was exhausted.

For the Taihang Mountains, it is a permanent occupation, the establishment of a new political system, and a bridgehead for the imperial army to attack Henan or Hubei. It is not a sweep. The Chinese are very cunning.

He crawled out like a mouse and continued to live his life, not to mention that he had new tactics to practice in the Taihang Mountains.

Okamura Neiji was very confident. As for Tang Qiuli, who made the North China Imperial Army change his tone and called him the China Devil, Okamura Neiji didn't take it too seriously. He admitted that he was an opponent and defeated two Japanese giants one after another.

Commander of the Imperial Army, but this time, you meet me, Okamura Neiji, then let me end the life of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli.

For Tang Qiuli's hometown in the Taihang Mountains, Okamura Neji's approach was to completely destroy, kill every Chinese, burn every house, and rebuild the new order of the Japanese Empire on the ruins. He even thought of starting from the mainland

Immigrated to the Taihang Mountains of North China,

The vast and fertile land here is only worthy of the Yamato nation. The old devil Okamura Neiji is deeply intoxicated by his grand ambitions. Imagine that he is the new owner of this land, and everything is available to him.

Please, is there any ideal that is more moving than this?

Okamura Neiji's inner passion surged, and he felt excited about meeting an opponent and about to realize his ideal. However, his preparations for this battle were solid, with psychological contempt and tactical attention. Okamura

Neji was not an arrogant Japanese general. At his repeated request, 230 aircraft from the Akino Air Force were transferred from the mainland. The destroyed airports in the Heitin area had been completely repaired. He wanted to gain air superiority.

Two first-class divisions were transferred from North Korea and incorporated into the North China Expeditionary Force. Five field heavy artillery brigades and three tank regiments were transferred from Japan. His old boss, the commander of the Kwantung Army, General Nanjiro, also

He sent a brigade of troops, as well as the Zhongdao Special Attack Brigade, which was good at mountain warfare, to form the Taihang Mountain mopping up force of the North China Expeditionary Army, with the Kwantung Army's Southward Regiment as the backbone. He personally served as the frontline commander.

This is a Japanese army of 320,000 people, a combined corps that includes aviation, armor, artillery, cavalry and other arms. Its combat effectiveness is extremely powerful, especially the Kwantung Army troops, who are veterans with rich combat experience.

The Northeast has had no rivals for many years and has developed

He has an arrogant and ferocious personality, coupled with the Bushido spirit deeply rooted in his bones, advocating hand-to-hand combat and decisive battles with the main force. However, the troops mobilized from Korea and Japan are still on the way. Otherwise, Okamura Neiji would never have waited until this time.

I have long been drinking horses and traveling too far.

In mid-March, all the transferred Japanese troops had arrived in North China. Okamura Neiji immediately began to organize them. At the end of March, Okamura Neiji finally completed preparations. The Japanese troops who swept through the Taihang Mountain base area showed their sharp fangs. In April

On the second day, Okamura Neiji issued an order to attack Licheng. The overwhelming Japanese army crossed the thawed Qingzhang River and rushed towards Licheng.

Planes were covering the sky, tanks were roaring on the ground, and Neji Okamura finally took action. This was the moment Tang Qiuli had been waiting for. The smoke of gunpowder rose again in the North China battlefield that had been silent for several months.
