When Neji Okamura gave up on Niangzi Pass, he also gave up on Yangquan. Unsurprisingly, at the same time as the battle at Niangzi Pass began, the commander of the 20th Division of Yangquan, Miyamoto Kujugi, also sent an urgent telegram. Yangquan was violently attacked by Xie Baoqing's 49th Army.
Okamura Neji issued an order to Miyamoto Kujugi to abandon Yangquan and retreat to Jingxing, but ordered the 20th Division to completely destroy the Yangquan Mining Area before withdrawing from Yangquan. The Yangquan Mining Area should not be destroyed for at least one or two years. To resume production.
After pressing the gourd and raising the ladle, Okamura Neiji had not yet recovered from the emotion of losing Yangquan. The Chief of Staff Naosaburo Okabe who he least wanted to see hurried over, holding an urgent telegram in his hand. .
"In an emergency, Pingxingguan has been violently attacked by the 50th Army of the People's Liberation Army of the Tenth Theater. Long-range artillery has been attacking for two and a half hours, and the forward positions have been razed to the ground. Please ask the headquarters to immediately dispatch fighter planes to support and eliminate the People's Liberation Army artillery positions..."
The veins on Okamura Neji's head were bouncing and almost bursting.
Xie Baoqing, we don’t want to bully people like this.
Madam, I don’t want you anymore, I don’t want Yangquan anymore, I almost gave you all of Shanxi, what else do you want?
Don't you Chinese always say that you can kill people with no more than a nod, and you have to show mercy and show mercy to others? Haven't you fucking read?
If Xie Tian heard what Neji Okamura said, he would spit carbon dioxide in his face.
Why didn't you say that when you went to China to kill people and set fire to the ground?
Now that I have been beaten and cannot beat you, are you starting to make peace with me?
It's okay to talk about peace. When I get to Tokyo, we can sit down and talk slowly.
Okamura Neiji made a hurried deployment, handed over command to Chief of Staff Naosaburo Okabe, and took a plane overnight to leave Tianjin and fly directly to Tokyo.
Lobbying for peace talks is not easy. Some people in the country have been dazzled by the victory achieved in the early stages of the war. Some people even arrogantly proposed to solve the Asian problem and immediately send troops eastward to occupy North and South America.
The Japanese, who have a narrow territory, are so eager to own a vast and boundless land that they have all flowed to North and South America.
Okamura Neiji went to lobby for peace talks. His real purpose was just to use the purpose of peace talks to gain time and space for Japan to recuperate.
When Japan's national power becomes full again, new militarists will definitely appear again and promote a new round of territorial expansion.
With Okamura Neiji gone, the Japs in Yangquan, Pingxingguan, and Niangziguan who were abandoned by him will be in tragedy. Especially since the Takako of Pingxingguan and Niangziguan did not receive orders from Okamura Neiji to retreat at all. The Miyamoto division of Yangquan was at least They also received an order to abandon Yangquan and retreat to Jingxing. As for whether they could evacuate safely, it depends on Xie Tian's mood.
Of course Xie Tian's mood is...you're fucking dreaming.
From the day he formulated this combat plan, Xie Tian had no intention of leaving a way for the little Japs in Yangquan and Niangziguan to survive.
You can come when you want and leave when you want. There is nothing so beautiful in this world.
The division commander of the Yangquan Palace Division, Miyamoto Kujugi, sent an emergency telegram to Okamura Neiji. He originally thought that Okamura Neiji would dispatch Japanese troops from North China to come for support, but he never expected that what he received was to abandon Yangquan. , ordered to retreat to Jingxing.
Miyamoto Kujiumu's face darkened when he saw the telegram.
Commander Gangcun was frightened by Xie Baoqing.
It seems that those rumors may be true. Xie Baoqing hit Commander Okamura with an empty pistol from the plane. When Commander Okamura was withdrawing from Taiyuan, he was overtaken by Xie Baoqing. He also threw an object downward from the plane to hit him. Commander Okamura, only this time I heard it was a leather boot.
Damn it, hitting someone with a leather boot from a plane. What kind of brain circuit can do such a crazy thing? Um?
It's not very harmful, it's very insulting.
Miyamoto Jiujiumu has never fought against Xie Tian (Xie Baoqing), and he does not believe that Xie Baoqing is that scary.
Moreover, since the Ishikawa Brigade was merged into Miyamoto Kujugi's 20th Division, Miyamoto Kujugi has three brigades with heavy troops, and his self-confidence has begun to expand. He even thought about regaining Taiyuan, and also ordered the division's staff to The headquarters formulates a combat plan for the recovery of Taiyuan.
The Battle of Niangziguan that year was commanded by Miyamoto Kujiumu, and it was also the most proud battle in his life.
He commanded more than 9,600 soldiers and conquered Niangziguan, which was heavily defended by 200,000 Chinese troops. He also led the victorious division to pursue the defeated Chinese troops and conquer Yangquan in one fell swoop. In this battle, he killed 20,000 people. There were more than 7,000 Chinese soldiers, but the price he paid was only more than 1,000 people. The battle loss ratio reached a shocking 25:1, making Miyamoto Kujugi the most shining star among the Japanese generals. The most glorious moment in this life.
Now with the merger of the Ishikawa Brigade, the 20th Division has reached a total strength of 41,000 soldiers. It is no wonder that he dared to order the staff headquarters to formulate a battle plan to regain Taiyuan.
According to the battle loss ratio of 25:1, he led the 20th Division to annihilate one million Chinese troops, and regaining Taiyuan was not a piece of cake.
In Miyamoto's eyes, the Chinese army is like a group of defenseless sheep, ready to be slaughtered.
It's no wonder that Miyamoto Kujiumu's self-confidence is overwhelming. He climbed too high back then, and he couldn't accept the fact that he would be counterattacked by the Chinese army for a while.
The battle damage ratio of 25:1 is an honor for Miyamoto Kujiumu, a shame for the Chinese army, and for Xie Tian...
Thank God for laughing.
What I pursue in fighting is zero battle losses, but as the battles get bigger and bigger, there will always be some accidents, just like when those guys attacked Zhangzhuang and were thrown a grenade by a shitty Japanese soldier.
But if you have to calculate a battle loss for me, it would be about 1:1000 or 1:2000.
It makes sense for you to compare this with me. Let’s take it out and let’s talk about whether it’s a mule or a horse.
Miyamoto Kukugi received the order from Okamura Neji and made his own decision directly: "Return the call, our department has been in close contact with the Chinese army. If we withdraw from the battle at this time, our department will be severely damaged. Please allow our department to stand firm." Yangquan, choose the opportunity to annihilate all the invading enemies."
It's just that Miyamoto Kujugi's telegram did not fall into the hands of Okamura Neji, who had already flown back to Japan.
The telegram fell into the hands of Naosaburo Okabe, who took over the command of Neiji Okamura. Okabe Naosaburo was one of the toughest hawks in the Japanese army. He originally resisted Neiji Okamura’s idea of preparing for peace talks with China, but he received Miyamoto Kujiumu's call back hit him right, and he only replied with one word: accurate
Just this one word ruined the chance of survival that the 41,000 Japanese troops might have had.
