Chapter 560
"Your Excellency Commander!"
Yukio Kasahara led a group of officers in the headquarters to neatly salute Jun Tada who just got out of the car.
Tada Shun was wearing a neat and straight military uniform. When he got out of the car, he subconsciously raised his chin, pretending to be serious, but in fact his eyes were full of pride.
"Kasahara-kun, send away all these irrelevant people." Tada Shun's tone was cold, his face full of indifference.
"Convene the main officers of the First Army, the Twelfth Army, and the Forty-third Army to come to the headquarters for a meeting. We are deeply favored by the Emperor and cannot waste time on meaningless things."
Kasahara Yukio's smile froze on his face. He was stunned for a moment and then hurriedly did what Tada Shun said.
Soon, only the Japanese officers were left at the entrance of the headquarters, and all those who had been invited to cheer were driven away.
Yukio Kasahara made a gesture of invitation to Shun Tada, his expression extremely respectful.
Tada Shun nodded with satisfaction. He did not take steps immediately, but looked back at the black car he was riding in just now.
The car door opened again, and a woman in military uniform walked out, holding a black briefcase in her hand.
The moment he saw the woman, Yukio Kasahara was stunned.
Although the woman in front of her is already quite old, her face is extremely beautiful, especially her eyes, which are stubborn and unwilling. When her eyes turn, endless charm emanates from them.
Yukio Kasahara swallowed involuntarily, until the other party glared at him, he woke up as if from a dream, hurriedly lowered his head, and made the gesture of invitation again.
The officers present all saw this charming woman, and also saw Yukio Kasahara's gaffe.
But no one laughed at their Chief of Staff, because their hearts were also rippling at this moment.
Shun Tada walked into the headquarters with his head held high, and the woman followed closely behind him.
"Why is she here too?"
Kasahara Yukio was thinking in his heart as he walked.
The name of the woman who came to Peking with Shun Tada was Yoshiko Kawashima!
Not only do figures from all walks of life in the Chinese military and government know this woman's name, but 80% of the top brass in the Japanese military and government also know her.
Yoshiko Kawashima!
Some Japanese soldiers rated it as valuable as an elite Class A division!
It can be seen that this woman, in addition to being soft and charming on the surface, has great energy and ability on the inside.
A few years ago, Tada Shun and Kawashima Yoshiko got together. With the support of the old Japanese, this woman even launched a so-called Anguo Army in the Northeast.
Yoshiko Kawashima took the post of commander of the Anguo Army.
During the two years in the Northeast, the Anguo army burned, killed, and looted, and committed numerous blood debts.
In 1935, Shun Tada was dismissed and transferred back to Tokyo. Shortly afterwards, the Japanese Kwantung Army announced the disbandment of the Anguo Army.
After losing her backer, Yoshiko Kawashima also ended her career as a commander, and spent several years in despair.
Your Excellency, the Commander, takes this woman with him, does that mean that he will also form an Anguo Army?
Kasahara Yukio thought with some discomfort in his heart.
He was obsessed with the beauty of Kawashima Yoshiko and wanted to sleep with her, but this did not mean that he approved of Tada Shun's approach and agreed to hand over an army to a woman to command.
Even though Yukio Kasahara had great opinions in his heart, he did not dare to express them on his face.
Sugiyama Gen was still staying in the backyard of the headquarters, and he didn't want to return home in despair with him.
…
The next day, the newly appointed commander-in-chief of the North China Front, Shun Tada, held a military meeting at the headquarters.
Except for those who were killed and captured, most of the main officers of the North China Front were present.
At the beginning of the meeting, Shun Tada did not make any impassioned remarks. He first showed a photo to all the officers.
"Gentlemen, do you know what this is?"
Tada Shun pointed at the photo and asked in a cold tone.
Half of the officers present lowered their heads, while the other half blushed in shame.
The two big characters "Wozhong" hung in front of everyone.
This photo of Tada Shun was taken from a Chinese newspaper. The content of the photo is the Japanese Tomb in Jiexiu.
The construction of the Japanese Tomb in the photo has been completed, and the four figures kneeling beside the Japanese Tomb have been carved by professional stonemasons and are lifelike.
Many people may not be able to recognize the outlines of the three regiment captains, but all the officers recognized Moritake Tanabe at a glance.
Just because the craftsmen put a lot of thought into the stone statue of Tanabe Moritake, they not only described the appearance of the character, but also thoughtfully equipped the old devil with a pair of stone glasses.
At this moment, Kasahara Yukio wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it. His face was red all the way to his neck.
Kawashima Yoshiko played the role of Tada Shun's adjutant. She stood in the corner and watched the performance of all the officers calmly. There were few people present who could impress her. Her eyes were gradually attracted by the photos, and her thoughts wandered. of a man I have never met.
"Bagaya road!"
Shun Tada slapped the table,
"Wozuka, do you know what it means?
Baga, because of your incompetence, you have brought shame to the Imperial Army, the Yamato nation and His Majesty the Emperor!
All of you should have a caesarean section to apologize, you are sorry to His Majesty the Emperor!"
The officers stood up from their chairs and bent down at the same time.
Tada Shun, who was at the top, took a few breaths. Kawashima Yoshiko in the distance gave him a look. The anger in the old devil's heart gradually disappeared. He waved his hand and said:
"Soldiers should know their shame and then be brave. We must repay the humiliation suffered by His Majesty the Emperor and the Empire of Japan a thousand times to the Chinese!"
“Hiyi!!!”
Kasahara Yukio and all the officers answered loudly.
After everyone sat down again, the slide was removed and replaced with a brand new combat map.
"Gentlemen, there is an excellent opportunity for revenge now!"
Tada Shun holds the baton in his hand, the tip of the baton is pointing at the position of northern Shaanxi,
"You should already know that the Chinese have discovered an oil field in northern Shaanxi. Intelligence shows that this oil field has huge reserves. As long as the imperial army captures this oil field, the dilemma of oil resource shortage will be greatly alleviated. The Imperial Army's New blood will be injected into the body, and whether it goes north or south, the future of the jihad will eventually be bright."
The officers gradually came out of their guilt and began to devote all their attention to the combat map.
"Gentlemen, what we are about to engage in is an oil war, codenamed Operation A!"
"Operation No. A?"
Yukio Kasahara was confused. Why had he never heard of this battle plan?
Was it formulated by the base camp himself or was it formulated by the Commander and that woman together?
Tada Shun didn't give everyone much time to react, he continued:
"Operation A will use the North China Front as the main force. This is our best opportunity to wash away our shame and serve His Majesty the Emperor!
This battle is divided into two fronts, namely the northern front and the southern front!"
Shun Tada roughly drew two lines on the map with his baton.
"The northern line mainly goes west along the Pingsui Railway to defeat Fu Zuoyi, Ma Jiajun and his branch! Over there, the district government seizes the oil fields!
The southern route mainly refers to the Shanxi battlefield. The oil field was discovered by Jiangdong, and Jiangdong still owns the oil field. Once Operation A begins, Jiangdong will send troops to protect the oil field at all costs.
The main purpose of the southern battle is to do everything possible to contain Jiangdong's forces and let him choose between the oil fields and the industrial base in southeastern Shanxi."
The mood of the officers was gradually aroused. The empire must be captured and Jiangdong must be defended. The scale of this oil war will exceed that of the Second Battle of Taiyuan, and may even catch up with the scale of the Battle of Wuhan.
"In order to obtain oil resources as soon as possible, the Kwantung Army will transfer the 29th Division and the 57th Division southward and return them to the command of the North China Front."
Tada Shun's face was filled with pride,
“The main forces fighting on the northern front are the Mongolian troops, the 27th Division and the 57th Division.
The First Army, the Twelfth Army, and the Forty-third Army are responsible for the southern front battlefield. This is a detailed combat plan. After reading it, the officers of each department immediately started preparing according to the plan!"
Each officer held a document in his hand. There were more than a dozen pages of paper in it, and they were densely filled with words.
It can be seen that Jun Tada was well prepared before coming to Peking.
Judging from the number of troops, the southern battlefield has obviously more troops than the northern battlefield.
But this is not the case.
Just because the establishment of Japanese troops such as the First Army and the Twelfth Army was not perfect. Jiangdong had annihilated no less than 4 Japanese divisions before, and the establishment gaps left by these 4 Japanese divisions had not been filled.
In fact, the strength of the troops on the northern and southern fronts was about the same. The Japanese army's strength in this battle was about 100,000, excluding the puppet troops.
Shun Tada was ambitious. Although the goal of the battle was to capture the oil fields, he also wanted to destroy Koto and eliminate this mortal enemy for His Majesty the Emperor.
To achieve the goal that several of his predecessors failed to achieve!
After receiving the battle plan, the officers read it quickly, with expressions on their faces changing, sometimes exciting, sometimes monotonous.
Chapter completed!
