    Peiping. Iron Lion Alley. North China Front Army Headquarters.

    The arrival of the new commander Tada Shun made the place that had been quiet for a month become lively again. Whether it was the frontline commanders of the Japanese army or the senior officials of the puppet regime, they all came to pay homage to the mountain.

    There is no way, everyone knows that for a long time to come, everything in North China will be dominated by this new commander.

    Regarding this phenomenon, Shun Tada seemed very indifferent, even a little accustomed to it.

    Of course, this is related to Tada Shun¡¯s experience. After the Japanese army captured the four northeastern provinces, Tada Shun has been serving in the Northeast region, and he was even responsible for the formation of the Puppet Manchukuo National Defense Force.

    Throughout the entire Puppet Manchukuo, Tada Shun was like the Supreme Emperor, and what he lacked most was the adulation and flattery of others.

    But Tada Shun himself knows that no matter how many people are fawning over him now, if he cannot solve the chaos in North China, then Sugiyama Moto, who was kicked out from here before, will be his role model.

    ¡°Moreover, when Sugiyama Gen was kicked out, he was an army general and a former land minister, so His Majesty the Emperor did not embarrass him. After returning to Japan, he was still a military counselor.

    ¡°But I don¡¯t have the qualifications. If I can¡¯t make achievements, what awaits me may be joining the reserve force, or even being sent to a military court.

    ¡°At the moment, I don¡¯t know how many of my political opponents are staring at me with their eyes wide open, looking closely at my misfortune, so I must not be paralyzed by the falsehood in front of me.

    Therefore, on the third day after taking office, Tada Shun ordered the guards of the Front Army Headquarters to stop anyone who asked to see him except for military visits, especially those from the puppet government, and no one could be let in.

    ¡°Subsequently, Tada Shun also ordered Chief of Staff Yamashita Tomofumi and intelligence chief Major General Miyazaki to seize the time to sort out the military and civilian conditions in North China to provide reliable information for the next plan.

    In the office, Tada Shun, Yamashita Fengfumi and Miyazaki Heitaro were all together in the same room. Tada Shun was sitting at the main seat across the desk, while Yamashita Fengfumi and Miyazaki Heitaro were sitting on the sofa at the bottom.

    "Yamashita, I already understand the general situation. You don't need to say anything more. First, please tell me how many troops we have now and what their combat effectiveness is." Tada Shun looked at Chief of Staff Yamashita Tomofumi and said.

    As a commander with rich grassroots experience, Shun Tada knows very well what the primary issue he should pay attention to now. No matter how corrupt the situation in North China is, it is a foregone conclusion. He is not in a hurry to change anything even if he is unclear.  The first thing is to figure out how many troops you have and what their combat effectiveness is. These are the foundation for your foothold in North China.

    ?? Yamashita Fengfumi can also be regarded as a China expert. Before the war between China and Japan, he served as the commander of the Chinese garrison brigade in North China. After the July 7th Incident, Yamashita was ordered to lead his troops to Peiping to participate in the war and was promoted to lieutenant general.  He commanded his troops to attack Nanyuan, commander Xindian, attacked Langfang, and massacred Chinese soldiers and civilians. He had a very good understanding of the situation on the front line.

    Yamashita Fengwen thought for a moment and immediately replied: "Your Excellency, Commander, the Imperial Army currently has 14 divisions and 10 independent mixed brigades in North China, mainly distributed in Shanxi, Shandong, Hebei, and Chahar.  , Suiyuan, Rehe and other places. However, in the battle some time ago, the Mongolian army suffered heavy losses. Not only a major general brigade commander Yu Shai, but also a cavalry brigade and two Royal Association Army cavalry divisions were completely wiped out, and their strength was greatly reduced.  "

    "Yamashita, are you talking about the Takako Brigade of the Cavalry Group?"

    "Hai, it's the First Brigade of the Imperial Army's Cavalry!"

    "How will the cavalry group handle this matter now?"

    "Your Excellency Naito has applied to the Front Army Headquarters through the Mongolian Corps Headquarters to rebuild the First Cavalry Brigade, but Your Excellency Sugiyama has not agreed, so this matter has been put on hold for the time being!" Yamashita Fengwen said.

    "The main force was wiped out and the chief officer died in battle. Is there any condition and necessity for such a unit to be rebuilt?" Tada Shun asked in a deep voice.

    "Your Excellency, the main force of the 1st Cavalry Brigade has indeed suffered a devastating blow, but the flags of their two cavalry regiments are still there. In addition, due to the lax defense of the brigade/that person, coupled with the fact that the Imperial Association Army is not bad  , while Li Guoyao's troops were attacking Yinan County, they actually launched a mutiny and rescued more than 400 captured imperial cavalry. With these people, His Excellency Naito was confident to restore the formation of the cavalry brigade!  " Yamashita Fengwen explained.

    "A cavalry brigade only has more than 2,000 people. Now there are hundreds of people. Plus the military flag is still there, it is indeed possible to restore the organization!"

    Speaking of which, Shun TadaHe thought for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "Let's do this. Immediately after the meeting, I will send a telegram to Hasunuma Pan, saying that I agree with them to rebuild the 1st Cavalry Brigade, but I hope they will not make up for it, and must ensure that this team  The fighting power of the cavalry!"

    "Hai!"

    "Shang Xia, keep talking!"

    "Hai!"

    Then Yamashita Fengfumi continued: "In addition to the troops stationed in Mongolia, the 12th Army stationed in Shandong also suffered heavy losses in the previous battle. More than half of the 32nd Division's casualties have not yet regained combat effectiveness. Although the 21st Division's casualties were not large, Sakai-kun just suffered  When I arrived, I had not fully understood the situation. The 114th Division was about to return home. Since they had been playing for several months, the grassroots officers and soldiers of the division were very resentful. A mutiny almost occurred a few days ago! More importantly, the 5th Division  The divisions were ordered to go north and withdraw directly from Qingdao. As of now, although the 12th Army apparently has three divisions and three mixed brigades, it actually does not have many available troops and is very weak!"

    "What about the First Army in Shanxi?"

    "I report to you, the situation of the First Army is pretty good, the 20th Division, the 108th, 109th Division, the 35th Division, the 36th Division, and the 37th Division are in good condition, but the general intention has been to move the 20th Division  The division and the 109th Division have been transferred out of the First Army, and the 108th Division is about to return to China and be disbanded. The order has been issued and is about to leave from now on, so the situation in Shanxi is not optimistic either!"

    Then Yamashita Fengfumi concluded: "So far, the Imperial Japanese Army has a total of 227,000 people in the Northern Branch, and there are more than 6,000 wounded, but as many as 82,000 troops are about to be transferred.  Six hundred people, in addition to more than 88,000 Imperial Alliance troops. Overall, the organization is in a state of ruin, the equipment is seriously damaged, and ammunition is seriously insufficient."

    "Tada Shun frowned and said: "I haven't heard of any major battle plans by the Northern Front Army in recent times, and it seems that the Northern Front Army has not carried out a strategic counterattack. Why are the troops suffering such heavy losses?"

    Yamashita Fengwen said in a deep voice: "There are indeed no large-scale offensive and defensive operations, but local battles have been uninterrupted. Generally speaking, the reason why the front army is in the current crisis is mainly related to one person!"

    "A single person? Who has such great ability?"

    "Li Guoyao!"

    "Li Guoyao? Is that the general who killed the two princes?" Tada Shun asked in surprise.

    "That's right, it's him!"

    Then Yamashita Fengfumi continued: "Some time ago, the main force of the Imperial Army's 32nd Division had a fierce battle with a guerrilla force commanded by this person in Lunan. The result was that the independent mixed sixth brigade suffered a devastating blow. The 32nd Division  The regiment suffered heavy losses. Subsequently, under the command of Li Guoyao, this unit made a surprise attack on Xuzhou, killing Lord Jiujin Qianping and severely damaging the 21st Division."

    "During the siege of the Yimeng Mountain branch/the army, Li Guoyao's troops appeared on the Mengyin front line without warning. They first annihilated the first cavalry brigade and the two Royal Association Army cavalry divisions, and then made a sneak attack on the Mengyin army.  The two county towns of Yin and Yishui established independent logistics bases for the 10th Brigade and the 5th Division, which completely disrupted the imperial army's combat plan and caused the complete failure of His Excellency Sugiyama Moto's plan."

    "As of now, at least more than 13,000 elite troops of our front army have been lost in the hands of this person, and the number of the Imperial Association Army that has been annihilated is twice that of the imperial army. It can be said that the predicament that the front army is currently facing is related to this person.  Direct relationship." (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
