On September 27, Harem Chun set off from Shimen and rushed to Ningjin County, the forefront of the battle.
In addition to the combat troops of the two infantry regiments, there was also a cavalry brigade and a tank squadron. Since this battle was to attack important towns garrisoned by the Eighth Route Army, Harem Chun also brought the artillery regiment of the 110th Division. coming.
However, since Shimen is a military town and one of the most important stations on the Shota Railway, the defensive task is relatively heavy. Iinuma Mamoru did not hand over all the artillery to Harem Jun, but left the field artillery brigade behind.
On the same day, the East Route Army, commanded by Lieutenant General Fushui Nobuzheng, commander of the 27th Division stationed in Tianjin, also set off from Tianjin and its destination was Hengshui, north of Nangong County.
The Japanese army on this route is also very strong, consisting of two infantry regiments, an artillery regiment and a cavalry regiment, with a total strength of 8,000 people.
In addition, more than 7,000 puppet troops of the 12th puppet army stationed in Wuyi County and the 7th puppet army stationed in Ningjin have also completed their assembly and are ready to cooperate with the Japanese army at any time.
According to the Japanese army's combat plan, they will use four infantry regiments and a large number of Japanese troops from technical arms as the main force this time, and then support them with two puppet infantry groups (brigades) to attack the Eighth Route Army's Jinan Administrative Forces centered on Nangong. A small-scale raid was carried out at the PCPD's premises.
The tactical purpose of this battle is not to completely eliminate the Eighth Route Army. Both Harem Jun and Okamura Neiji know that it is impossible to completely eliminate the Eighth Route Army with this force alone, and even the entire North China Front Army will be thrown into the battle. Not necessarily what will happen to Tubalu!
Therefore, in this battle, they strive to recover the eight counties occupied by the Eighth Route Army in southern Hebei within two weeks, and either eliminate the Eighth Route Army in the area or drive them out of the defense area.
For this battle, Harem Chun himself is very confident!
His confidence comes not only from the combat capabilities of the troops he commands, but also from his trust in his own combat command capabilities.
As the chief of staff of the China Expeditionary Force, Harem Chun¡¯s ability is beyond doubt, and he himself is also a person with overwhelming self-confidence.
Like most Japanese senior military officers, Harem Jun also graduated from Japan's Army Sergeant School and Army University. He served in the Fifth Division and the Fourth Division, and also served as the commander of the Kwantung Army in Manchukuo. "Advisor, Department of Transportation.
In March of Showa 9, he was promoted to Army Major General and served as the third minister of the General Staff Headquarters and concurrently as the personnel director of the Army Ministry. At that time, it was the era when the Emperor's faction and the control faction were fighting to the death. Later, after the February 26 incident, this guy seized the opportunity and Assisted Minister of War Terauchi Touhou to organize the army, and soon gained the trust of Sugiyama Gen and others, becoming an upstart in the army.
After the Nomenkan incident, the Kwantung Army underwent a major personnel purge. He was promoted from the position of commander of the 26th Division to the commander of the Fourth Army Corps stationed in Manchuria, and was awarded the First Class Rising Sun Ribbon on April 29 last year.
At that time, one of the Army's three major events involving the military's invasion of the French Indochina took place. Atsushi Haremiya was used as a firefighter to replace Rikichi Ando, ??who was dismissed due to the incident, as the commander of the Southern Front.
Three months ago, the Southern Branch/That Front was abolished. With the support of the then Chief of Army General Staff Gen. Sugiyama, Jun Haremiya was transferred to the Chief of General Staff of the China Expeditionary Force, assisting General Hata Junliu.
From Harem Chun¡¯s own experience, we can see that his life has been very smooth. It is precisely because of this smoothness that Harem Chun has a very conceited character.
In addition, he personally experienced the combat effectiveness of the North China Front Army in sweeping the North China National Army in Showa 12, so he is very dissatisfied with the current performance of the Japanese army on the North China battlefield.
In his opinion, China has a country without defense. Its army is just a group of farmers with primitive weapons. Its combat effectiveness is as sparse as sand and it is simply vulnerable.
The Imperial Japanese Army is an elite force that has undergone rigorous training. Even compared with the German Army, which is the most rigorous and combat-effective in the world, the Imperial Japanese Army is not inferior at all. How could it be defeated by that person repeatedly, even by Heavy damage.
"But he has personally read the North China Front's combat reports for the past year or so. The failures are real. Even several generals have died, and many combat troops at the division level have been severely damaged.
Even more so during the Battle of the Central Plains two and a half months ago, the 33rd Division was almost wiped out, and Lieutenant General Sakurai Province almost lost his life in Yangcheng.
Therefore, although Harem Chun is unwilling to admit it, he still feels that there is a problem with the war situation in North China. He just wants to see what the problem is!
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????mbOUT Out the Battle of Japan
Since the secret service of the North China Front Army had already investigated the actual situation of the Eighth Route Army in the southern Hebei region before the war, it had a relatively complete understanding!
According to the intelligence sent back by the secret service, the Eighth Route Army stationed in and near Nangong is affiliated to the Jinpu Detachment under the jurisdiction of the Jinan Administrative Office.
This unit was formerly the main force of the 129th Division, one of the three main forces of the Eighth Route Army. The commander-in-chief's surname was Song, and the chief administrative officer's surname was Yang.
This force was formally established in Nangong County three years ago, and then moved to the Hebei-Shandong border, Taixi, Binhai, central and southern Shandong, the Central Plains, and East China, causing a lot of trouble for the Imperial Japanese Army!
It is reported that there are about 14 combat troops under the jurisdiction of the Eighth Route Army's Jinan Administrative Office, with a total strength of more than 20,000 people.
In addition, there are a large number of local troops, called militia or local guerrillas!
"Compared with the government army, although Tubal Road has a lot of troops, its weapons, equipment and training are far inferior. Therefore, in Harem Chun's view, this battle is about killing mosquitoes with cannons and killing chickens with a sledgehammer.
But even so, Harem Chun still acted like a lion fighting a rabbit!
After all, as a qualified commander, Harem Chun is very aware of the consequences of underestimating the enemy!
How many generals of the imperial army died not because of the enemy's strength, but because of their own carelessness in underestimating the enemy. He did not want to become a stepping stone for others at the most glorious time in his life.
Even in order to keep it secret, Harem Chun sent a report to Lieutenant General Tomisui Nobumasa alone, ordering their troops on the east route to avoid detection by the Chinese army when advancing. Silence all Chinese people you meet, regardless of gender or age.
Harem Chun was not afraid that the Eighth Route Army would discover their actions and prepare in advance, but was worried that the Eighth Route Army would see through their combat goals and evacuate from southern Hebei directly.
As the former garrison commander of the Datong area, this is not the first time that Harem Chun has dealt with the Eighth Route Army, and he is very familiar with the Eighth Route Army's combat habits.
The vast majority of the Eighth Route Army will fight if they can win, and move if they can't, and will never be sloppy.
Don¡¯t worry about cities and villages. If there is no defensive value or it is difficult to defend even if you defend it, Tubal Road will never waste a single soldier.
Therefore, they must not alert anyone in this battle and must attack suddenly!
