Chapter 1046: The Inside Story of the Foreign Appearance

Okamura Ninji, commander of the North China Front, "created" a method of sweeping with iron rolls, that is, by building blockhouses and strongholds, digging trenches, and pulling barbed wire, he cut off the anti-Japanese base areas in North China, swept back and forth, looted materials and slaughtered the people, and wanted to eliminate the anti-Japanese forces in this way.

In order to "promote" and to show off his achievements, Okamura Ninji dragged the grassroots and middle-level officers of various departments of the North China Front Army to the scene of the sweep to observe them, and then went to their respective stations to imitate them.

Okamura Ninji is a representative of the Japanese Showa warlords, and his personality has always been very arrogant, otherwise he would not have been transferred back to China as a military counselor by Seishiro Itagaki and sat on the cold bench for a year.

He also had a contemptuous attitude towards a veteran general like Shunroku Hatata, believing that his ability was not enough to undertake the heavy responsibility of commander-in-chief of the dispatch army, and the North China Front and the commander-in-chief of the dispatch army had always been in constant contradiction.

Although Wang Jingwei's Jinling government was recognized by the Japanese government and nominally had the right to administer the North China Political Affairs Committee, with the support of the North China Front Command, the traitors in North China simply turned a deaf ear to the authority of the Jinling government.

But in such a situation, he himself had such a shameful super foreign appearance, this kind of black cauldron, he definitely doesn't carry it, and he can't carry it.

The base camp was extremely shocked when it received the news, and called the General Headquarters of the Dispatch Army to investigate the responsibility of the North China Front, and more than 100 officers died at one time, including a major general, which was a scandal that had never been seen in the history of the Japanese Army.

Since you don't want to take the blame, you have to find an unlucky guy, and the influence of this matter is too great, and the level is too low.

Okamura Ninji first shot the captain of the Japanese Shaosa squadron in the nearby stronghold, and then chose Inoue Sadawei, the division commander, to take the blame, and the lieutenant general of the army is almost improvised, tall, short, fat and thin are just right, it's you!

It is estimated that Lieutenant General Inoue Sadawei, who is on his way back to China, is now scolding Okamura Ninji's ancestor, the dignified commander of the Japanese Army Division, or the B Division, who was actually removed from his post and transferred to the reserve for this bullshit and rotten thing, what a trick!

"Ono-kun, I went to Yunhua Restaurant for dinner just now, and I was surprised to hear a news, saying that a few days ago, the battlefield observation group of the North China Front Army was ambushed by the underground party army in Pingyang Lotus City, and it was almost wiped out, is this true?" Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

The base areas will certainly publicize this victory and inspire the confidence of the common people in resisting the invaders, and besides, those who should have known about such a big matter must have known for a long time, especially the people from the intelligence agencies.

Who likes to hear this the most?

The Yamashiro government certainly didn't have much reaction, so the Japanese navy, one of the two major forces in the military department, was definitely willing to talk about this topic.

"I have also heard the news you said, and it is indeed true, for this reason, the bigwigs of the Army Ministry and the Army General Staff Headquarters were furious, and gave an order to the General Headquarters of the Dispatch Army to thoroughly investigate the person responsible for this incident, and the North China Front Army Command dismissed Lieutenant General Inoue Sadawei, the commander of the 69th Division, and transferred him to the reserve, which can be regarded as an explanation."

"This is one of the few things that can make the Navy Command Department happy, and it is said that because of the appearance of the army, the navy bigwigs still sit together and set up drinks to celebrate. In fact, last month, that is, in September, in addition to Li Shiqun being poisoned by the special high school and the special agent headquarters being revoked, there was also a wonderful tug-of-war within the dispatch army. Ono said with a smile.

"Tug-of-war? That is to say that there is a dispute? As far as I know, there are some contradictions within the dispatch army only between the General Headquarters and the North China Front Command, could it be that there is a dispute between Senior General Okamura Ninji and General Shunroku Hata? Chen Mingxiang asked suspiciously.

He really hadn't heard of what Ono Nakasa said, the headquarters of the dispatch army was in Jinling, and he had sources, but it wasn't so smooth.

For the sake of the principle of military secrecy, some things may not reach his ears, but of course, he must know faster and more than ordinary people.

"The Navy and the Army have always been full of contradictions, and without the assistance of our Navy, the General Headquarters of the Dispatch Army has a major incident, and I just informed the Fleet Command, and I don't have a detailed inside story."

"You can find an opportunity to ask Major General Kinoshita Eichi, or Major General Yoshitaro Kawamoto, they are both important generals of the 13th Army, and they must know what is going on."

"The reason for this tug-of-war is that it involves military operations, and the General Headquarters of the Dispatch Army is preparing to launch an attack on Wuling in early November, and there is a problem when the force is adjusted."

"The commander of the 11th Army, Lieutenant General Isamu Yokoyama, and the commander of the 13th Army, Lieutenant General Shimomura Ding, including the chief of the general staff of the General Headquarters of the Dispatch Army, Lieutenant General Matsui Taikuro, had a fierce dispute, and in the end, it was General Shunroku Hata who came forward to suppress the matter." Onoza said with a smile.

"Military operations are an important secret of the imperial army, and I have always avoided such things, in case something happens, I am afraid that I will be implicated." Chen Mingxiang shook his head and said.

"That's not necessarily, others shouldn't ask, but it's natural for you to ask, it is estimated that if you don't ask, the Gendarmerie Command and the Thirteenth Army Command will also tell you, the transportation of materials in the Chiang Tong District, if there is a big war and causes losses, the gendarmerie does not want to see it."

"Now the war in the empire is unfavorable, and there is an extreme shortage of strategic materials, which has affected the operation, and the cabinet and the military department have been constantly calling to strengthen the work in the material area occupied by China, but the Jinling government has been slow to act, or even passive and sabotage, and has not achieved the expected results."

"For this reason, Shibayama Kaneshiro's life is very difficult, he has communicated with the Jinling government many times, but he has not seen any effect, I have received news that the empire is ready to invite the heads of all the occupying countries to Tokyo to hold a multinational conference, one of the important ones is to open up resources." Ono said.

This time, I heard two important news, one is that the Japanese army is about to launch an attack on Wuling, and people with a little common sense know that the main force must be the strategic mobile force of the 11th Army.

The other is that Japan will hold a multinational conference and call all the heads of puppet governments in the occupied areas to Tokyo, and one of the key points is to plunder the materials of various countries to support the war.

The campaign was launched at the beginning of November, and it was already late October, so there was not much time left for me, and I had to find out the inside story of this matter as soon as possible.

Of course, the Sixth Theater of the Yamashiro Government is in a state of confrontation with the Eleventh Army, and there will be no news at all, and besides, the area around Wuling is heavily guarded, and it is obviously impossible to engage in a blitzkrieg.
