I really came here to fight against Japan

Chapter 626: Okamura is newly appointed to the post in North China, and the victims are driven to Sh

I heard that the new Japanese commander is an old Japanese named Okamura.

As soon as he came to power, he started playing his "people-friendly" tricks and began to restrict the military discipline of the Japanese army.

Song Wenwan knew that this guy would soon reveal his true colors in North China.

His Cage Policy and Three Alls Policy have long been notorious.

Now that Song Wenwan is here, he will never let the old devil Okamura return to the Japanese island alive.

Ever since the Minister of Defense squeezed General Wei out, he has been back and forth in the Second War Zone several times.

As long as the war in the second war zone breaks out, his position will appear in the secondary capital, making it difficult for people to look at him.

You can be useless. When something happens, someone will naturally step forward, but you can't be a barrier!

After he arrived at the Zhongtiao Mountain defense line, he disrupted all of General Wei's original deployments.

He also allocated all resources to the Central Army.

The position of the Central Army was moved to the side and rear, and the Sichuan Army, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, and Commander Xie's troops were all transferred to the front line as cannon fodder.

Now the battle lines are lined up in a row, which looks very good, but this sacrifices the depth of defense.

He also wanted to mobilize the guerrilla division to fight against Japan, but Suo Wuxing was not a man with a good temper.

He sent telegram after telegram to the secretariat, criticizing the Minister of Defense's combat orders as completely nonsense.

Finally, the original text of the Defense Minister’s order was sent to the Ministry of National Defense and the Ministry of Military Affairs.

Even the commanders-in-chief of various war zones received it.

The Defense Minister's intention to use the Japanese army to weaken the guerrilla division was obvious.

Although no one expressed any opinions, they secretly complained about his move.

We have finally managed to hold off the Japanese attack, so why did you attack your own people?

The guerrilla division is not from the Red Shaanxi. It's really ugly for you to act so recklessly.

This even forced Suo Wuxing to express his position if the Minister of Defense continued to act recklessly.

He transferred the command of the Shanxi Guerrilla Division to the commander of the Second War Zone, and he himself retired to Longshui to live out his retirement.

The commander of the Second War Zone did not mind hearing this and directly sent a telegram to express that the brothers from Gansu would never be treated unfairly.

Of course, Suo Wuxing knew the commander of the Second War Zone, who was in the Qi Attendant Room.

Even if the guerrilla division gave him the troops, he would not dare to accept them.

If he really took it over, one, he couldn't afford to support them, and two, he couldn't command them.

But the attendant's office was afraid, because they had finally managed to reduce the strength of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army to 120,000 or 130,000.

If the guerrilla division's troops were added now, the strength of the Second War Zone commander would be fully restored immediately.

Their combat capability may even be stronger than before the Anti-Japanese War.

When the bigwigs in the attendant's office heard about this, they were furious and immediately recalled the Minister of Defense to the temporary capital and gave him a scolding.

From then on, the Minister of Defense no longer dared to attack Wuxing and the Shanxi Guerrilla Division.

During this period, the serious disaster situation in Henan had begun to emerge.

Many farmers there have already realized that there is no hope for this year's autumn harvest.

Those who saw the opportunity quickly have already started to flee with their families.

Wu Longcheng had already received Song Wenwan's order, and he had been paying close attention to the disaster in Henan.

When disaster victims began to appear in Jiaozuo one after another.

Wu Longcheng also began to consciously guide the victims to Shanxi, Shaanxi and Longshui in Gansu.

Of course, these disaster victims were not like that, they all ran towards Jiaozuo.

The presence of disaster victims has begun to be discovered in Hebei, Anhui, Shandong and Hubei.

At the beginning, except for Wulongcheng, all the Kuomintang defense zones and Japanese defense zones did not allow him to pass through.

The National Army was more approachable and just tried to persuade them to return, but the Japanese simply opened fire.

But after a week, the Nationalist and Japanese armies were surprisingly in agreement.

If disaster victims in Henan want to leave the province, they have no other choice but to enter Shaanxi.

The reasons behind this all stem from a top-secret report from the South’s puppet government.

Ming Lou, deputy director of the Special Affairs Committee, submitted a top-secret report to both the Wang Puppet Government and the Central China Expeditionary Army Headquarters.

"I was shocked to hear that the drought in Henan is very serious. In May, a small number of victims began to flee to other provinces. This is a rare situation.

I suggest that the victims should not be organized when they leave, but should be consciously guided into the Eighth Route Army bases in Shanxi and Shaanxi.

Using the disaster victims to snatch food from the Eighth Route Army, they were trying to curb the development of the Eighth Route Army base areas.

Finally, this report was forwarded to the desk of the commander of the North China Front Army, the old devil Okamura.

Commander Okamura praised the report highly.

He praised Minglou as the "modern Jia Xu" and repeatedly exclaimed that this plan was "extremely vicious."

Before coming to North China to take up his post, Okamura had received a report from agricultural experts on the Japanese islands.

They concluded that Henan will suffer from a severe drought in the next two years.

Especially next year, almost all crops in Henan Province were completely destroyed.

Commander Okamura has been thinking about how to take advantage of this matter these days.

Let the Japanese army take advantage of the National Government in the battles within the next two years.

Minglou's report gave Okamura an inspiration.

Three days later, the Japanese headquarters issued an order.

The Japanese troops in Henan deliberately led the victims to Shanxi, Shaanxi, and the sphere of influence of the Eighth Route Army and Gansu Army.

Yes, not only were they led to the Eighth Route Army’s territory, but this time the guerrilla division from Gannan was also included.

Based on the advice of the old devil Okamura, the Japanese also took the guerrilla division into account.

Since we can't defeat your Eighth Route Army and guerrilla divisions, we will use the disaster victims to make you poor and bankrupt. This is a vicious plan.

As for why I didn’t plan to accompany the capital… forget it.

Based on Okamura's understanding of the secondary capital, given the temperament of the secondary capital's attendant office, they will not care about the victims.

Sure enough, the Imperial Guard not only ignored it, but also joined in guiding and driving the victims into the ranks of fleeing to Shanxi and Shaanxi.

All Japanese and nationalist troops in Henan are at the border between Henan, Shanxi and Shaanxi.

They retreated thirty kilometers to serve as a buffer zone, allowing the Eighth Route Army and the Guerrilla Division to accept the victims with peace of mind.

Not only that, the First War Zone also set up two shelters, one in the south and one in the north, outside the Tongguan city gate.

At the same time, they thoughtfully hung two signs, one of which read: "Shaanxi-Northern Disaster Victims Shelter".

On another sign was written: "Gansu Shelter for Disaster Victims."

In addition, a row of porridge stalls were set up on both sides of the shelter.

Of course, the water has already boiled in the pot, and the people in the First War Zone said that they did good things without leaving their names.

Just for the rice to cook, the Eighth Route Army and people from Gannan still had to go to the grain store to buy it themselves.

The Eighth Route Army and the Gansu Army both have their own offices in Tongguan City.

They looked at the long queues of disaster victims and the steaming iron pots.

Everyone was jumping up and down, cursing the First War Zone for being despicable and the Capital's attendant room for being shameless.

But we can’t just stand by and watch these disaster victims starve!

Some of them have walked thousands of miles.

Looking at the victims who were all dragging their children with them, a hint of expectation was revealed in their empty eyes.

Although the heads of the "Eighth Office" and the "Gansu Office" may be cursed, they are all party members and cannot ignore the victims.

So both sides paid for the food from their own pockets at the grain shop in Tongguan, and then went outside the city to wash the rice and the pots.
