"Immediately send a report to the base camp, saying that there are Communist aircraft in Tianjin distributing anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese leaflets. It is suspected that the Communist army has enough power to destroy Tianjin."
"In order to ensure the safety of overseas Chinese in Tianjin, we request the immediate evacuation of overseas Chinese in Tianjin."
"Although our transport division suffered heavy losses in order to cover the large troops, at this time of crisis for the empire, we are willing to make our last efforts for the country and protect the safe transfer of expatriates."
"Send this telegram to base camp."
Wei Wu handed the handwritten order to the telegraph operator.
The dispatcher looked at the telegram and then at the fat-minded Osaka soldiers who were selling small commodities along the street.
It feels like this has nothing to do with the heavy losses.
However, since Wei Wu said so, he did so.
The more subsidies he needs, the more points he will receive.
The telegram was sent quickly.
He even thoughtfully copied the "Message to All the People" at the end of the telegram.
When he saw Wei Wu's telegram, Sugiyama Yuan was the first to be in disbelief.
Since when did the Communist Army have air power?
Can it actually pose a threat to rear cities like Tianjin?
However, he didn't think that Wei Wu would joke about this kind of thing.
After all, this kind of thing can be confirmed with just one phone call, so it is too easy to expose.
Sugiyama Yuan really couldn't imagine what benefits Wei Wu could gain from lying here.
However, out of luck, he still checked with the Tianjin garrison.
Regarding the interrogation at the base camp, the Tianjin garrison naturally did not dare to hide anything and immediately reported what they knew.
It's the same as what Wei Wu said.
There were indeed communist planes dropping leaflets.
I have asked the theater commander for instructions, but there has been no response yet.
After getting the confirmation, Sugiyama's source became bigger.
Tianjin is an important production base in the rear.
Since the industrial transfer, all materials in North China are produced here.
If this place is threatened by the communist army, it will be a huge trouble.
If this was destroyed, all of North China would be cut off from supply.
There is no food to grab on the spot.
At worst, you can dig wild vegetables and chew tree bark.
The Japanese are a nation that eats grass. They have been eating grass for hundreds of years since the introduction of Buddhism.
It won't matter if I eat it for two more years.
But you can't fight without bullets.
The Tianjin base must not be lost.
"Ask Juichi Terauchi how many troops he still has. I want the real situation!"
Sugiyama Yuan said angrily.
"yes."
The telegraph operator immediately sent a telegram to Touichi Terauchi.
But Juichi Templeuchi was already in a state of distress.
In order to wipe out the guerrillas in North China.
Temple Shouichi adopted the method of dividing and surrounding.
It is to divide the jurisdiction area into small squares according to the grid.
Then, build bunkers on the borders of the blocks and on important routes to separate each area.
In this way, he can divide the guerrillas into small areas.
Compress the guerrillas’ living space.
By blocking the outside, and then slowly deploying troops for encirclement and suppression, he could slowly clean up the guerrillas in North China.
Otherwise, they occupy North China, but have been unable to use North China's resources on the front line.
Instead, they carried a heavy burden and were forced to leave a large number of troops here and got stuck in the quagmire.
Juichi Terauchi's direction is absolutely correct.
But this also led to him dismantling his troops.
Assigned to various gun towers.
Only important cities have regiment-level garrisons.
Ordinary county towns have brigade or even squadron-level Japs and local security groups.
Originally, according to normal circumstances, they were in the rear, so there was nothing wrong with splitting up the troops.
But here's the problem.
Now, the situation has changed dramatically.
Under Wei Wu's operation, the southeast theater at the front exploded.
The Yangtze River defense line collapsed.
Let North China, which is at the rear, directly become the front line.
Several troop deployments made the temple's already poor military strength even worse.
I originally thought that after the troops marching south finished conquering Southeast Asia, they could be mobilized back to raid the guerrilla areas again.
As a result, the situation in Southeast Asia was not settled, but the Communist army launched a massive attack across the Yangtze River.
Moreover, all those who came were the main army.
There were at least 100,000 people on each route.
As for Shouyi's defenders inside the temple, they were all scattered and huddled in each stronghold.
Each stronghold has only one team, sixty or seventy Japs.
Equipped with two light machine guns, two grenade launchers, the Class A Division also has a 92 Infantry Cannon.
At this scale, it's okay to bully the district team and so on.
How to fight against the Communist field army equipped with truck guns, quadruple anti-aircraft cannons, and all kinds of light and heavy firepower?
An advance team of the Communist Army, led by the county brigade, touched the front of a Japanese artillery tower.
"This is the Xiaowangzhuang gun tower. There is a small group of Japanese soldiers stationed inside, and there are more than a hundred puppet troops nearby. They have machine guns and cannons. It is very difficult to fight."
The person responsible for leading the way said.
"Difficult to shoot? Push the cannon up and try their quality."
Under the command of the leader of the advance team, two truck guns drove over.
Both truck guns are improved models, 105 caliber.
The black muzzle pointed at the wall of the turret.
Boom!
There was a muffled sound, and the turret collapsed instantly.
The original reinforced concrete blockhouses turned into concrete graveyards.
Dozens of Japanese were buried directly in the ruins.
The puppet troops stationed in the nearby camp were stunned.
They were lying on the ground bragging, but the enemy's turret collapsed with a crash.
They didn't even have time to react.
"What should I do, captain?"
Several traitors lay on the ground shivering.
"What else can we do? Surrender? Are we going to be buried with the Japanese?"
The traitor captain immediately threw away the gun in his hand and raised his hands: "Grandpa Eighth Route Army, the Chinese will not fight the Chinese. We have surrendered. Don't shoot."
The traitor behind him had no fighting will.
It's okay to fight with the wind and bully the common people.
When encountering a hard problem, he immediately fell to his knees.
The Japanese artillery towers have collapsed, and there is no point in their resistance.
Immediately raise your hands and surrender.
The captain of the county brigade was stunned.
He never expected that the Japanese artillery tower, which they usually regarded as their formidable enemy, could be taken down so easily.
Solve the battle with one shot.
Moreover, so many traitors were captured.
This was something I couldn't even dream of before.
"Receive the prisoners, send them to the labor camp, and let them undergo labor reform. The remaining people will follow me and we will pull out the next turret together."
The people in the advance team were nothing. They had already seen the power of truck cannons, and were no longer surprised by the results. They were familiar with how to clean the battlefield as quickly as possible.
Soon, the traitors were tied up and sent to the team behind that was specially designed to receive prisoners.
The remaining people continued to move closer to the next turret.
