    Chapter 672: Just be a fisherman

    Tang Qiuli knew the risks involved in the decision he was about to make. This was a gamble related to the reshuffle of North China. One of the Japanese, himself, and Yan Xishan was destined to be eliminated. As for the government, there was no decision yet.  The capital on the gambling table, if the bet is won, North China will be a game between itself and the Japanese. Without Yan Xishan as a stumbling block, it will definitely be beneficial to the unification of the north and realize the ideal hidden in the heart.

    If he loses the bet, Tang Qiuli doesn't think he will lose this big bet. Looking at China today, except Chairman Chiang Kai-shek in Nanjing, no one dares to claim first place in front of him.  At a good time, Tang Qiuli finally made up his mind to release the water and use Okamura Neji's military operation to eradicate all Yan Xishan's forces in Shanxi. The so-called killing with a borrowed knife, as for how to deal with Okamura Neji and take Shanxi into his pocket  , we can only make a decision based on the next development of the battle situation.

    As for the real reason for making this decision, he will not reveal it to anyone, including his bed partner. This involves the moral and psychological bottom line of people of that era, as well as the current mainstream understanding, which is national justice, despicable or not.  , whether it is insidious or good at taking advantage of the situation, in a word, the opportunity cannot be missed. Of course, careful planning is absolutely indispensable, otherwise, it will become the target of public criticism, the sinner of the nation, and his own abilities will also be involved.

    He called Chen Feng, the director of communications, and recorded the following order: "1. Feng Jiwu's Niangziguan garrison should immediately disengage from the Japanese troops marching westward into central Shanxi, return to the Niangziguan front line, and intensify the construction of defense facilities facing Taiyuan.  Seize Jingxing Pass to prepare for the southward march of the Kwantung Army. Troops from the four brigades of the Sulu Mobile Corps will be temporarily transferred to their original formation. 2. Liu Tiehan's East Command troops on the Cangzhou front will continue to suppress all Japanese troops on the Cangzhou front and participate in the Tianjin Campaign.  The four brigades immediately returned to their original organizational structure. The Sulu Mobile Corps troops mobilized three brigades north to the Zhangjiakou area to join the original two infantry brigades and one cavalry brigade. They stayed hidden near Zhangjiakou and waited for the division's next step.  Action Order."

    "3. The remaining troops of Tang Qiusheng's Sulu Mobile Corps immediately sent troops to the Shanhaiguan line in eastern Hebei, joining Tong Batu's 2nd Cavalry Brigade and Bagena's 6th Cavalry Brigade, preparing to block the Kwantung Army's southward marching corps. 4. Yuan Jinghao  The troops of the Shaanxi Local Security Command left Handan and waited for the division headquarters' order to seize it. They blocked the road from Handan to Changzhi and cut off the logistics supply line of the Japanese army led by Neji Okamura. The ** Division Air Force was led by Le Yi.  Qin and Liu Cuigang are leading the troops and are ready to support the Shanhaiguan battlefield and the Niangziguan and Jingxingguan battlefields."

    "The Changfeng Department of the Huangyadong Base will, at the appropriate time, join forces with the Eighth Route Army to annihilate the Japanese troops stranded around Huangyadong. The Sun Zhenbang Department of the Yellow River Defense Corps will covertly follow the attack from Taiyuan to the Japanese army. Remember not to expose the target.  There is no clear order from the division commander not to fight the Japanese army. The above order is extremely urgent and must be carried out by the Japanese army in all departments." After dictating so many orders in one breath, Tang Qiuli's throat felt dry. He picked up the boiled water on the table, regardless of whether it was cool or hot, and drank it.  And done.

    Chen Feng hurried out. So many orders must be sent to the commanders of each corps as soon as possible. Tang Qiuli recalled all the orders he had dictated in his mind to see if there were any omissions. This was related to the ** division.  In a major life-and-death operation, he not only wanted to use Okamura Neji to uproot Yan Xishan's influence in Shanxi, but he also wanted to eat up Okamura Neji's heavy troops in Shanxi, or at least severely damage them.

    All his deployment adjustments are to close all the channels for Okamura Neji to retreat to Pingjin and form a huge encirclement. It is best for Okamura Neji, an old devil, to fight Yan Xishan so that both sides will be injured, so he can clean up without too much effort.  Also, we need to capture Zhangjiakou and control the northwest Hebei area. I hope this time it will be successful. The next step is to completely regain Pingjin and drive the Japanese forces to the northeast.

    Among all the troops, the ones with the heaviest burden are Liu Tiehan's troops and Tang Qiusheng's troops. After Liu Tiehan was assigned the four brigades of Li Honggang and Han Tie's troops, they only had about 300,000 troops. What he faced was  There are more than 400,000 Japanese troops. Fortunately, Liu Tiehan's troops fought hard enough some time ago. The Japanese army did not dare to launch a large-scale counterattack and blindly took the defensive.

    After adding more than 40,000 coal miners, Tang Qiusheng's Corps has a strength of nearly 100,000. Facing the Kwantung Army's southbound troops of unknown strength, it will definitely be very difficult. The purpose of attaching the air force is to solve this weak link.  Their action was to buy enough time for Zhou Yushan's transportation troops to evacuate Tianjin. As for Tianjin, Shijiazhuang, and Baoding, Tang Qiuli had no intention of holding on and competing with the Japanese army for several big cities.  necessary.

    It felt like there were no omissions, but Tang Qiuli still felt unsure. He always felt that something had not been taken into consideration. He shook his head and wondered if he was overusing his brain. He pointed out to everyone,His series of orders, which were like a storm, made him nervous. Staff officers and correspondents kept coming in and out, and there was an atmosphere of an imminent war.

    The reason why Okamura Neji dared to attack Taiyuan was that his troops were concentrated around Pingjin and there was no time to return for rescue. Yan Xishan devoted his main force to attack Zhangjiakou, which objectively gave Okamura Neji a chance to succeed.  Otherwise, with the strength of the Jin army and Yan Xishan's character of never letting go of Shanxi, he would be able to fight to the death with the Japanese army. As long as his own troops arrived, Okamura Neji would have no choice but to retreat in panic.

    Not to mention anything else, Feng Jiwu's more than 80,000 troops alone were enough for Okamura Neji to drink a pot. However, neither Okamura Neji nor Yan Xishan expected that they would sit back and watch the fall of Shanxi instead of  Extending a helping hand, looking at the whole of China, who knows the dirty trick he used? In order to make the trick realistic, he ordered the communications department to cut off all contact with the Nanjing National Military Commission and Yan Xishan¡¯s Jin army, and close the division headquarters.  All radio stations, when asked afterwards, responded that the division was on the march and for the sake of confidentiality and safety, radio silence was implemented.

    Thinking of Yan Xishan, who was desperately trying to attack Zhangjiakou, Tang Qiuli couldn't help but laugh. This man should be regarded as a typical person who is greedy for petty gains and suffers big losses. For Zhangjiakou, he almost depleted all the troops defending Wuxiang. He didn't know that Yan Xishan was trying his best to attack Zhangjiakou.  Is Murura Neiji a man-eating wolf?  When the Japanese army approached Taiyuan City, what was Commander Yan's expression like? He must have desperately asked for help. Also, he had to inform the commanders of each corps. Don't think that he was still like in the Taihang Mountains.  The people above and below are in panic.

    All the arrangements were carried out according to his own intention. The unsteady feeling in Tang Qiuli's heart not only did not disappear, but became stronger. He cast his eyes on the map on the wall. Suddenly, his scalp tightened and his butt burned.  It seemed like he was jumping up, a big omission that would make him regret for the rest of his life, Ding Bian

    After Okamura Neiji captures Taiyuan and even the whole of Shanxi, he will never be limited to Shanxi. With Okamura Neiji's experienced military experience, he will never let go of Shaanxi. After taking Xi'an, he can also attack Henan.  Or Hubei. What's worse is that there are almost no regular troops in Shaanxi. Yuan Jinghao's Shaanxi local police force and Sun Zhenbang's Yellow River defense force have been mobilized by themselves. They are as far away as Henan and the Taihang Mountains, from He meander to Fenglingdu,  Along the Yellow River, which stretches for thousands of miles, there are no troops to defend it. Okamura Neiji can cross the river at any point to attack. If he loses his fixed edge, he may jump into the Yellow River.

    Tang Qiuli broke out in a cold sweat. Mei Xue, who was gently rubbing his shoulders, was startled by his abnormal behavior. Xiaoxue, please record that there is no one else in the command. The two of them are affectionate and affectionate, and everyone knows it.  After avoiding it, Tang Qiuli could only shout to Mei Xue. Mei Xue realized that there must be something serious and immediately changed her role to that of a subordinate.

    "Order, Sun Zhenbang Corps, the original mission is cancelled. Immediately rush to the important crossings of the Yellow River as quickly as possible to set up defenses. They are not allowed to entangle with the Japanese troops along the way. They are ordered to arrive at the designated location within three days." Mei Xue's figure flashed and disappeared in Tang Qiu  In Li's field of vision, this girl knew the seriousness of the situation, and she could feel it just from his face.

    Tang Qiuli felt weak all over and wiped the sweat from his forehead. **Dingbian is the only important strategic rear of the army. I am afraid it has long fallen into the eyes of Okamura Neji. Who dares to say his other purpose in attacking Shanxi?  It's not that he occupied Dingbian, but based on the force he used against Huangyadong, Dingbian didn't let this old Japanese fight for his life. It was so dangerous. God has eyes and bless the Jin army on the front line of Wuxiang to withstand the Japanese army.  a few days.

    Thinking about it, he still felt uneasy. With Sun Zhenbang's more than 50,000 troops defending the long Yellow River defense line, there was a serious shortage of troops. Tang Qiuli rushed to the communications office and informed Liu Hanzhang, chairman of the Military and Political Committee of the Border Special Economic Zone, and Bai Chucai, commander of the garrison headquarters.  Send a telegram and immediately summon reserve personnel in Dingbian to form a Yellow River defense force.

    The telegram was sent, and before Tang Qiuli's eyes, locust-like Japanese soldiers seemed to appear, rushing across the Yellow River and spreading throughout Shaanxi. The high-rise buildings in Dingbian were reduced to ashes in the fire. The citizens of Dingbian were killed by the Japanese army.  Rivers of blood flowed under the guns of soldiers, and corpses lay everywhere. After the war, in Dingbian, hungry people cried, and the land was covered with rubble and ruins.

    "Huzi, Huzi," Tang Qiuli shouted loudly. Shanhu ran in and looked at Tang Qiuli in surprise, who looked as exhausted as if he had just crawled out of the desert. "Huzi, gather the guard team immediately and return to Dingbian.  The division personnel will follow." Although Shan Hu didn't understand why he suddenly wanted to return to Dingbian, he could sense it from Tang Qiuli's face and immediately agreed and ran out to make arrangements.

    Tang Qiuli had to rush back to Dingbian himself to organize such a large number of reserve soldiers to go to the front line. No one was qualified for this job. Otherwise, Neji Okamura would be given a living target in vain, and the Yellow River defense line would not be able to be maintained.  Just when Yan Xishan was having a great time fighting in Zhangjiakou, Okamura NejimaAt the critical moment when the Kwantung Army's southward troops had already assembled in Liaoyang, as they were about to take action in Wuxiang, Tang Qiuli took the route of Zhengzhou and hurried back to Dingbian.
