"Warriors under His Majesty the Emperor, it's time for us to wash away the shame of some time ago with our actions. Tell everyone good news, because of the imperial army's victories in Anhui and Hubei, Ouyang Yun was forced to personally lead the army north. Ladies and gentlemen, this is our chance! Matsui Shigen stood in front of a huge map, first expressed his emotion in a very heroic tone, and then pointed at Quzhou, Longquan and Fu'an with his baton and said: "This was once our stronghold, but now, it is occupied by the guerrillas of the Cadet Army. These areas are the bridgehead for our attack on Fujian, and we must take them first. The main force of the Cadet Army is heading north, which is an excellent fighter, so we must overcome it as quickly as possible. After taking these places, we had to build bunkers according to the standards of North China. At that time, Ouyang Yun will truly feel the pressure of our South China Front. Oku-kun," he said, looking at Okuichiro with blazing eyes.

Okuichiro stood up, his clothes looking very serious. The 9th Division, led by Okuichiro, was the only unit to show the majesty of the imperial army in the last battle of Fujian, Zhejiang, and Jiangxi (the Japanese felt that they were self-conscious), although their performance in the later period was a little poor and they were fooled by the Cadet Army. However, considering the performance of the 3rd, 6th, and 13th divisions in this battle, the performance of the 9th Division was still excellent. If there were still people who looked down on Okuichiro before this, then after this battle, Okuichiro has become a rising star in the military circles of the Japanese Army, as if he has the demeanor of a generation of famous generals. Matsui Ishine first named him, and also showed that he valued him.

Matsui Shigen poked the baton hard at the place name of Fu'an, and said, "I'll hand it over to you here in Fu'an!" ”

"Hay!" Okuichiro replied in a deep voice, bowed slightly, and sat down.

Matsui Ishone was satisfied with his performance, nodded slightly, and then looked at Shozo Kawabe, who was sitting across from Okuichiro. The baton moved to the place name of Quzhou, and he said: "Quzhou was lost because of the negligence of the 13th Division, and I will now give you a chance to wash away your shame." Riverside-kun, I hope you don't let me down! Can it be done? ”

Kawabe Shozo's face was expressionless, he stood up, bowed first, and then said loudly: "Your Excellency, if I can't retake Quzhou this time, I am willing to apologize for my guilt." ”

The failure to support Quzhou in the war and the fact that he had to give up Quzhou in order to preserve his strength not only led to the removal of the division commanders of the 3rd and 6th Divisions, but also the reprimand of Kawabe Shozo from the base camp. And if it weren't for Seishiro Sakagaki to help him speak, he would have been recalled to Tokyo at this moment, and he would even be on the trial bench of a military court.

Among the senior generals of the Japanese army present, Hebe Zhengsan was the one who dealt with Ouyang Yun and Xuebing the most people. Of course, it is also the most defeated. The phrase "repeated defeats, repeated defeats" could not be more appropriate for him. It is said that after suffering too many defeats, you have to accumulate a little experience against the enemy. But in fact, judging from the performance of Shozo Kawabe, he is like a pig's brain, and he can't learn any lessons from it.

Matsui Ishine actually wanted to get Kawabe Shozo away, believing that the existence of this gentleman had seriously affected the morale of the South China Front. However, because some people in the base camp still hoped to learn from the experience he had accumulated in dealing with Ouyang Yun, he was actually stunned to be saved again.

Matsui Ishine turned his gaze to Iwamura Sahei, who had just taken over as the commander of the 3rd Division. Iwamura was tall and thin, but his head was small, and from a distance it looked like a cannonball on the ground. Perhaps because of this, he has another nickname called "Aviation Shell". The "aviation shell" was personally selected by Seishiro Sakagaki, and advocating artillery is king, and his arrival is very much expected by the base camp. Matsui Ishine cleared these, afraid that he would lose the first battle, so he didn't dare to give him a difficult task easily, he looked at the other party's little head and said: "Iwamura-kun, you have just come to China, and you still don't know the strength and combat habits of the student army, so this time, your task is to monitor the enemy in Longquan." Longquan is located in the hinterland, surrounded by mountains on three sides, easy to attack and difficult to defend. When our army has taken Quzhou and Fu'an, we will seal it on all sides and implement prison tactics, and then we can win the victory at the minimum cost. So, don't be in a hurry in this battle, just watch the Chinese army - understand? ”

"Hay!"

After the Battle of Fujian, Zhejiang, and Jiangxi, the South China Front suffered heavy losses, and its troops suffered severe losses. Matsui Ishine was worried that Ouyang Yun would take the opportunity to counterattack, so he shrank his forces towards the coast. In this way, the guerrillas of the Spark Brigade will be cheapened.

In less than half a year, not only Quzhou and Longquan and other cities were run by Chu Tiange, as far as the Jinli Line (Jinhua-Lishui), the guerrillas belonging to the Cadet Army were also very active, and from time to time they would sneak attack two devils, or behead one or two traitors, which made those puppet army officers panic all day long, which had seriously affected the rule of the Japanese army, and Matsui Shigen was quite annoyed by this. "Hateful Shina, despicable Shina!" In private, the old devil didn't know how many times he had vented, and this time, he thought that he had finally caught the opportunity, and it was time to catch all these flies.

The Japanese moved quickly. After all, the four divisions and regiments of the South China Front Army in active service have all suffered big losses at the hands of the cadet army. Defeating the student army and getting back on the field, this point of view has penetrated into the hearts of all devils. When the order of the old devil Matsui Shigen reached the front-line troops, the low-level officers of the devil learned that the defense of the student army was empty, and the main force went to Jiangxi, and they all felt that this was an opportunity to defeat the student army, so they were very enthusiastic.

The South China Front was ready to move, and various departments were frequently mobilized, and as soon as they were ready to encircle and suppress the guerrilla base areas in southern Zhejiang, the agents of the Fox Pupil Foreign Affairs Department sent this information to Chu Tiange, who in turn sent it back to the Guangzhou General Headquarters. Ji Xingwen is now in charge of the work of the General Headquarters, he didn't dare to be careless, and immediately sent it to Ouyang Yun to ask for his opinion, whether to immediately let the Jewish Independent Army enter southern Zhejiang to fight against encirclement and suppression.

After the Xuebing Army took over the 74th Army to defend Pengze, the offensive of the 11th Division was immediately weakened, on the contrary, on the Jiujiang side, the Japanese army strengthened the offensive, and it was very important to take Jiujiang first, and then besiege Peng Ze, blocking the retreat of the Xuebing Army.

The northward legion went north this time, and Ouyang Yun's biggest worry was that he might be abandoned by the Central Army, and he would become the cannon fodder at the end like the Battle of Nanjing.

Such a move by the Japanese army naturally aroused his vigilance. Considering that Jiujiang was defended by Li Yunheng's 16th Army, and Li Yunheng was notoriously derelict in his duties, he liked to engage in formal things, but often made a mistake in the end, he thought about it, not only did he rest assured that the 12th Division was stationed at Hukou, but he simply transferred another regiment from the troops directly under the regiment to Duchang, and was prepared to plan that if Jiujiang was lost, the Japanese army might take advantage of the situation to go down Xingzi County.

received a telegram from Ji Xingwen and learned that Matsui Shigen, an old devil, was finally unwilling to be lonely and made a move in southern Zhejiang. Ouyang Yun couldn't help but rejoice that the Jewish Independence Army had actively asked to join the war at the last meeting. He immediately asked staff officer Huang Hua to send telegrams to the General Headquarters and the Jewish Independence Army, asking the Jewish Independence Army to immediately launch a campaign in southern Zhejiang, and asked Stern to hold southern Zhejiang and maintain the stability of the buffer area.

Fujian has many minerals, before, Ouyang Yun did not dare to let go of development, what he was afraid of was that once Fujian became a battlefield, these achievements could be destroyed by artillery fire, and the result was a busy job. The establishment of the guerrilla base areas in southern Zhejiang and the seizure of Shangrao and Yingtan won a buffer zone for Fujian. In this way, he dared to let Jiang Guangnai let go of the mineral development work in Fujian. Once the base area in southern Zhejiang was established, it not only won a buffer for northeastern Fujian, but also established a forward position for the Cadet Army to launch a counteroffensive in the future. No matter which aspect you think about, it is absolutely impossible to want Ouyang Yun to spit out the meat that he ate in his mouth again. At the end of the telegram, he himself dictated: "Matsui Ishine wants to take advantage of the danger, and we will teach them another painful lesson." If the Jews want to be respected by the world, they should have the right amount of force to match. Stern, haven't you been complaining that I don't give you a chance? Now that the opportunity has been put in front of you, it's up to you to seize it. ”

The Jews were protected by the Scholar Army and began to appear in the territory of the Scholar Army as Chinese citizens, all of which stemmed from Ouyang Yun's understanding of history. The Jews may not be the most qualified partners, but the wealth of the Jews and the desire of the Jews for the restoration of the country are very great help to the current China and the student army.

At the time of Renqiu, the Jews had a population of nearly a million people. In the past two years in Guangdong, as the news of the Jews living and working in peace and contentment gradually spread throughout the world, Jews have flocked to Guangdong, and so far, more than 3 million people have settled in Guangdong, Fujian, and Hainan. The increase in the number of Jews opened up the possibility for the Jewish Chamber of Commerce to expand its army. And the help of the American Restoration Organization has made the Jewish Independence Army have no financial worries, so the equipment principle of the troops is to choose the best and most expensive in everything. As a result, its equipment level is more advanced than that of the student army.

The mechanization penetration rate of the cadet army is already high in the world, reaching 30 percent. The mechanization rate of the Jewish Independence Army was 80 percent. What is this concept? That is to say, in the equipment sequence of two divisions and one independent brigade of the Jewish Independent Army, the chariot unit and the self-propelled artillery unit account for 80% of the sequence.

Now, this steel torrent has finally moved, and its direction is southern Zhejiang.
