Chapter 679 The Dilemma of the Japanese Army in North China(1/2)
Peiping, Japanese North China Front Headquarters.
"Your Excellency, General, the hidden dangers of the guerrillas have not been completely resolved, and the various departments of the Sixth Corps are starting to make moves again. The situation we are about to face is very serious."
Chief of Staff Sanji Kido looked at the map of North China with a very ugly face.
The Sixth Corps now has eight armies and 500,000 men. This information is semi-public, and the North China Front has already received the relevant information.
Previously, Jiangdong had less than 200,000 men and annihilated 2/3 of the front army led by Jun Tada. Now that Jiangdong's strength has more than doubled, the North China Front army cannot be its opponent at all.
No one dared to say these words, but the facts were right in front of them, and everyone in the headquarters looked worried.
Okamura Neji's expression was as calm as ever. He didn't know whether he was confident about the future war or was already discouraged. He rolled his eyelids and glanced at the battle map on the wall, and said leisurely:
"The base camp will also support two divisions. We can gather up to eight divisions to fight against Jiangdong!"
He seemed to just state a fact and then said nothing again.
Tanaka Takayoshi and Ojodo Sanji sighed in their hearts.
The newly formed divisions had only three infantry regiments, with a maximum number of 15,000 soldiers. The eight divisions of the North China Front could not stop the eight armies of Jiangdong.
Whether it is soldiers or equipment, the gap between the two sides is not even a little bit.
"Your Excellency, General, has the base camp decided to abandon North China?" Tanaka Takayoshi asked in disbelief.
Okamura Neji twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing a wry smile,
"The most resource-intensive areas in North China have been occupied by Jiangdong. It is now difficult for us to maintain the strategy of supporting war with war, and it is reasonable to give up."
He stood up slowly, a strange light appearing in his eyes.
"However, it is not easy for Jiangdong to bring the entire North China into his territory. For the honor of the empire and the humiliation of the North China Front, if Jiangdong dares to take the initiative to attack, I will make him pay a price beyond his imagination!"
Ojodo Sanji blinked, seemed to have thought of something, and asked:
"Your Majesty, General, are you ready to concentrate your forces to annihilate the Jiangdong Division?"
Okamura Neji nodded, without saying any specific ideas or strategies.
The room fell into a brief silence. After thinking for a while, Tanaka Takayoshi said:
"Wang De and Li Shouxin, who previously defected to the imperial army, have been very active among the Mongolian tribes recently. The grassland has a tendency to completely move to Jiangdong. We must guard against it."
"Prince De? Li Shouxin?"
Okamura Neiji repeated in a low voice, "Both of these two people are just outsiders. Now that the Imperial Army is declining, more and more people like this will appear in the future.
Let Chahar's imperial army use thunderous means to those wavering tribes,
kill!"
The temperature in the room seemed to have dropped a lot at this moment, and both of them felt the killing intent emanating from Neji Okamura.
During this period, the only good news coming from the entire North China Front was the Chibei Brigade.
When he saw Colonel Sasaki, Neji Okamura had a rare smile on his face.
"Sasaki-kun, come on, please sit down. Do you have any good news again?"
Sasaki bowed,
"Back to General, my brigade raided Niangziguan and Yangquan yesterday and burned down two material warehouses of the 6th Corps. At the same time, the Chinese people saw the power of the imperial special forces. At this time, the Chinese hand army at Niangziguan was in turmoil.
Woolen cloth."
"Ha ha……"
Okamura Neiji looked really happy, "The imperial warriors of North China have been fighting for a long time with the hunter brigade. As soon as you came here, the hunter brigade that was wreaking havoc everywhere disappeared. It is indeed very powerful!"
Sasaki bowed his head and said a few words of humility.
"What's your next action plan?" Okamura Neji then asked.
"Chibei attacks in all directions and must have attracted the attention of the hunter brigade. The next step is the battle between the special forces and the special forces!" Sasaki said with wide eyes.
"Yo Xi!" Okamura Neji patted the table,
"I believe that the warriors of the Japanese Empire are definitely better than the humble ones! That man is stronger, Sasaki-kun. If you need support, just ask. I am waiting for the good news that you will annihilate the hunter brigade!"
"Hiyi!"
After Sasaki left, Colonel Eiji Nishimura, the top commander of the Ministry of Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply, who was lame on one leg, also came to the front army headquarters.
During the Jiangdong riot in Peking, the Ministry of Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply suffered the greatest losses. The laboratories and research specimens suffered devastating blows, and most of the researchers were lost. Unit 1855 was no longer able to continue operating.
Eiji Nishimura came to bid farewell to His Excellency the General today.
After listening to Nishimura Eiji's story, Okamura Neji nodded with some disappointment.
"Huawei is no longer safe. Every researcher is a treasure of the empire. It would be better to leave earlier."
"We will withdraw to Harbin to continue research work. For the sake of His Majesty the Emperor and the Empire of Japan, we will develop weapons of mass destruction as soon as possible!"
"Yoshi, go ahead, go ahead..."
…
Lu Jiu has been busy transporting the property robbed from the United Reserve Bank to Jincheng through secret channels.
Due to the huge amount of finance, it took him about a week to completely ship it out.
After doing this, Lu Jiu looked much more relaxed.
"Any new information recently?" he asked after drinking a glass of water.
The person standing in front of Lu Jiu turned out to be Saburo Hiraoka.
Jiang Dong, Song Li and others had already left Beiping, but Pinggang remained.
Just because Ping Gang found Yuriko in Peiping, whom he thought about day and night.
That day at the Military Hall, it was Yuriko from Hiraoka who was drinking and having fun with Sawada Shigeru and others!
Hiraoka always thought that his lover was still waiting for him to return home in Tokyo, but he never expected to see Yuriko in a place like the Military Hall.
I don't know whether he was feeling happy or sad at that time, or a combination of both.
After thinking about it for two days, he confessed the matter to Jiang Dong and volunteered to stay and assist Lu Jiu in intelligence work.
Jiang Dong was not worried that Ping Gang would betray him, so he agreed to him.
Hiraoka and Yuriko were crying when they met each other, let alone mentioning life or death for the time being.
In short, apart from some changes in her body, Yuriko, whom he longed for, still loved Hiraoka, the young photographer, in his heart.
In addition, she had witnessed many inhuman things in the military hall in the past two years, so Yuriko readily agreed to stand on Hiraoka's side.
An intelligence line has been established.
Ping Gang bowed habitually and then said:
"Many officers from other places have come to the Military Hall recently, and the North China Front seems to be showing signs of gathering."
Lu Jiu's eyes lit up and he asked:
"Where is the assembly point?"
Ping Gang shook his head,
"We haven't found out about this yet, but it probably isn't in the north, because many officers have said they miss the Military Hall."
Lu Jiu's brain was running rapidly and he said at the same time:
"Your line is very important, you must bring its value into full play!"
"clear!"
Seemingly feeling that Ping Gang's performance was a bit mediocre, Lu Jiu added:
"Everything you do now is recorded by the Military Intelligence Bureau, and the Commander-in-Chief will also know about it. I hope that when the whole of North China is liberated, the Commander-in-Chief will give you two a home!"
Sure enough, after hearing this, Ping Gang burst into tears of gratitude.
…
Jincheng.
"Due to the two businesses of arms and medicine, the merchants in the rear and some war zone commanders are now very polite to the staff of Fuxing Trading Company. The sales of our various products have been fully opened, and then you just wait to collect the money."
Ding Beifeng crossed his legs and said to Jiang Dong in a relaxed manner.
"How much income can I expect this month?" Jiang Dong's biggest concern is always real money.
Ding Beifeng glanced at Jiang Dong with a sly look, and said calmly:
"With the profits of the trading company, plus taxes and what you robbed from Peking, the revenue of the Administrative Office this month should be around 45 million!"
"puff!"
All the tea that Jiang Dong had just taken into his mouth spurted out, and this figure made his body tremble involuntarily.
"What you said is true. How come there are so many?"
Ding Beifeng was wiping the tea on his face with great disgust. He looked at Jiang Dong fiercely with his one eye, then threw the wet handkerchief to Jiang Dong's chest and said:
To be continued...
