Sangmu Chongming immediately put down the wine glass in his hand. What Sasaki Toichi said was very important to him!
As a veteran who has been in the military for decades, Sangmu Chongming is not as arrogant and superficial as he appears on the surface, otherwise he would not have been able to climb to the position of lieutenant general division commander.
In fact, looking at all the senior commanders at the division and brigade level of the Japanese invaders, they may have some flaws in combat command, such as rigid tactics, rigid thinking, greed for money and lust, brutal killing, etc. However, It's rare to be so arrogant that you don't understand the situation clearly.
They may look down on the Chinese army psychologically, but no one will act recklessly during the war. Otherwise, the Japanese army would not be able to occupy one-third of China's territory in a short period of time.
With Sasaki¡¯s reminder, Sangmu Chongming instantly realized that he had indeed forgotten or didn¡¯t care about the potential threat from Li Guoyao¡¯s troops.
"Once Li Guoyao's troops move south from Jinan and catch them by surprise, the consequences will be serious.
The remnants of the 17th Division are still in southwestern Shandong. That is a living example!
¡°And the base camp has made a decision a few days ago to remove Lieutenant General Hirabayashi Morito from the position of division commander and transfer him back to China for another appointment!
"That's what I said, but everyone knows that Hirabayashi Morito is finished!"
First of all, because of his age, there will definitely be no good position for him when he returns to China, and it is very likely that he will sit on the bench.
There are too many such things, not just for Tairabayashi, but also for the former commander of the North China Front, General Juichi Terauchi, and the commander of the First Army in Shanxi, Lieutenant General Kozuki Kiyoshi. After being transferred back from the Chinese battlefield, they all went to Qingshui Yamen. I sat on the bench for several years.
You must know that the performance of these two gentlemen on the battlefield is very good. In comparison, Hirabayashi Morito is incomparable in terms of record and battlefield mistakes. It is conceivable that he will sit on the bench.
What's more, if you return to the country and stay away from the battlefield, there will be no chance to gain merit. It will be impossible to be promoted to a general in this life. In other words, without special opportunities, Tairabayashi Morito's life is finished.
Sangmu Chongming didn¡¯t want to follow in the footsteps of Shengren Pinglin because of his own mistakes!
Although the current situation on the Chinese battlefield is not as good as in previous years, the Imperial Japanese Army still occupies the strategic initiative. There is no shortage of opportunities to make meritorious deeds here, let alone make money.
Although he served in the 110th Division for less than two years, and the place where he was stationed was not a wealthy place, he made a lot of money, even enough for his family to live a prosperous life in the country.
After staring at the map for a long time, Sangmu Chongming asked in a deep voice: "Mr. Sasaki, what do you think is the possibility of Li Guoyao's troops going south?"
Sasaki thought about it and said: "If the Japanese government does not have other reinforcements, the possibility of Li Guoyao's troops going south is more than 80%!"
"Eighty percent, so high?" Sang Mu Chongming asked in surprise.
"Mr. Sangmu, you just went south to Shandong and you don't understand the previous situation. Southwest Shandong was originally the territory of Li Guoyao's command, but with the intervention of the Japanese government, it became the defense area of ??the 57th Army. Li Guoyao's command Was transferred to Jinan."
Then Sasaki continued: "There are various signs that Li Guoyao's troops are not willing to abandon southwestern Shandong. If there is a chance, they will come back! And for Li Guoyao, the action of the Imperial Japanese Army is to return Lu Xinnan¡¯s best excuse!¡±
"Of course, the dispatch of troops by Li Guoyao's troops depends on the reaction of the ** government. If Chongqing has other means of support, it is impossible for Li Guoyao's troops to go south. After all, if they go south without the order of the ** government, it will be Li Guoyao should not do this when disobeying orders from Chongqing!"
If Li Guoyao were here, he would probably give Sasaki a big round of applause!
Although this guy didn't guess Li Guoyao's plan, he analyzed his mentality clearly and very well.
Sangmu Chongming nodded and said: "Yo Xi, if this is really the case, then we have to be careful!"
"Mr. Sangmu, it's actually not necessary. Your main attack direction is Juye and Chengwu front lines, while ours is heading south from Fan County, aiming directly at Heze, so the task of guarding against Li Guoyao's troops is given to our 10th Division. Well. If possible, I would also like to teach that nasty ** general a lesson!" Sasaki said.
"Hahaha, it seems that Mr. Sasaki suffered a loss at the hands of Li Guoyao's subordinates, right?"Mu Chongming said.
"Hey Xi, our unit fought several times with Li Guoyao's troops in Western Shandong some time ago. Our unit lost more than 3,000 people. This is the largest loss of our 10th Division since the Taierzhuang Battle in Showa 13. It is a great shame and humiliation. !" Sasaki said.
Sangmu Chongming somewhat understood Sasaki Toichi's mood. The 10th Division was not like the 110th Division. It was a Category A division. It was really embarrassing to have three thousand people eaten silently.
"Well, the task of defending Li Guoyao's headquarters will be left to your 10th Division, and the rest will be left to our 110th Division. We guarantee to reach the gates of Heze City within three days!" Sang Mu Chongming said.
"Yo Xi, cheers to the glorious jihad of the Japanese Empire!"
"cheers!"
?¡Dividing line¡Dividing line¡
While the Japanese troops in Jining were drinking and having fun, the temporary military headquarters of the 57th Army in Heze was in a different scene. Everyone looked sad, and there was an atmosphere of dark clouds threatening to destroy the city!
Chang Enduo, commander of the 111th Division, stood in front of a military map, staring closely at the red and blue arrows on it with a solemn expression!
Although the war started less than a day ago, the news coming back from the front line was very unfavorable to the 57th Army. Both Juye and the defense lines north of Heze were shaky, and his 111th Division suffered heavy losses.
On the southern front, the 112th Division, which is responsible for the defense of Peixian, Fengxian and other places, is also in a bad situation. The Little Devils have assembled two powerful infantry regiments on the southern front, as well as a large number of technical units, including aircraft, artillery and The tanks put tremendous pressure on the 112th Division.
It¡¯s one thing to have a strong enemy, but it¡¯s even more worrying for Master Chang to be disunified within oneself!
¡°Miao Chengliu not only has high-level backers in the National Government, but he is also a veteran of the Northeastern Army and has also served as chairman of Rehe Province. He has considerable prestige within the Northeastern Army. Commander Chang is under great pressure to oppose him.
Although they have obtained substantial evidence that Miao Cheng is treacherous to the enemy, no one is willing to believe them. If it weren't for the small Japanese troops now approaching the border, I'm afraid the higher-ups would have settled accounts with them.
The current 57th Army is completely troubled by internal and external troubles. It is in a very difficult situation. One mistake may cause the entire army to be annihilated.
After looking at the map for a long time, Commander Chang said to the adjutant beside him: "Pick up the 333rd Brigade for me!"
"yes!"
After several busy signals, the call was finally connected. Commander Chang could hear the rumbling of artillery fire through the phone!
"Hey, brigade 333, who is that?"
"Qingbo, I am Lao Chang!"
"Hello, Master!"
"Qingbo, how is the situation where you are?" Teacher Chang asked in a deep voice.
"Master, the situation is not good. There is a reinforced regiment of the Japs in front of me, and there are also a large number of artillery. They are all Type 41 mountain artillery. They have not stopped since the morning. They are on our position like crazy. At least ten tons of ammunition were laid down, and our army suffered heavy casualties!"
"How long can you hold on?"
"I estimate that it will take at most one day, but today I, Wan Qingbo, will leave my words here. As long as the commander gives orders, our 333rd brigade will not retreat even half a step even if all of us are killed in battle!"
"Well done, he is a member of our Northeastern Army!"
Teacher Chang then changed his voice and said, "But that's not necessary. You have to remember that you have to save your own life first at all times, so that there is hope."
"clear!"
"As far as I know, the enemy in front of you is the Japanese 110th Division. This is a second-class division of the Japanese Army. There are four infantry regiments in the army, with a total of more than 20,000 people. And your 333rd Brigade only has two regiments. There are less than five thousand people, and the weapons and equipment are not comparable to others. It is normal to be defeated. Your troops only need to stop the Japanese army step by step. If not, retreat back, the sky will not fall!" Commander Chang said loudly.
"yes!"
"In addition, I just received a telegram from the war zone commander's office, saying that the reinforcements are on the way. They are commanded by Commander Li of the 117th Division. They have 1 division and 6 brigades. They are expected to arrive in southwest Shandong within two days."
"The 117th Division? Isn't that Han Deqin's army? It has no combat effectiveness, and his direct descendant 33rd Division has not come. I think these reinforcements are probably here to make trouble!" Brigadier Wan said solemnly.
"There's nothing we can do about it. We still have reinforcements anyway. Let's just keep fighting like this. It doesn't workit doesn't work"
"Master, what do you think?"
"If it doesn't work, let's contact Commander Li and see if they can support us. We can't give up Southwest Shandong to the little devil!"
"Well, I think it will work. Given the current situation, I think it would be better to contact us as soon as possible. What do you think, Master?"
"Okay, I will send someone to contact Commander Li right now. I would rather let him come back than delay it!"
"Um!"
"Juye will leave it to you!"
"Master, please rest assured!"
