    The reason why Sasaki has such a great reputation in the Japanese army is, on the one hand, because of his ability, and on the other hand, because of his bravery.

    In the 9th year of the Showa era, he was promoted to the third top adviser of the Manchuria Military and Administrative Ministry for Itagaki Seishiro. At that time, the Japanese General Staff Headquarters had instructions for the preparation of the Manchukuo army, but did not formulate specific and consistent policies.  Moreover, their consultants were initially self-recommended or recommended by military instructors, so they were relatively casual and could not play a good role.

    ¡°But during Sasaki¡¯s tenure, he formulated a series of measures to transform the puppet Manchukuo army and fostered a reactionary armed force to suppress the Chinese military and civilians.  He basically disbanded the old army and completely re-established it. In order to prevent collusion between soldiers and bandits, he distributed bullets to the number of soldiers. Each Manchu soldier only had 30 bullets. If the battle failed, he would immediately disband the army and hold the chief officer accountable until  Shot.

    As a result, the price of bullets on the black market was as high as seventy-five cents, and the Anti-League was completely unable to replenish bullets.  In addition, Sasaki Toichi formulated two plans, which directly caused the failure of the Northeast Anti-Union.  The first is the "Manchukuo" Three-Year Public Security and Suppression Plan, which implements severe military strikes against the Northeast Anti-Resistance Alliance.  The first is the "Group Tribe Construction Plan", which adopts the policy of separating "people and bandits" and cuts off the supplies of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance.

    These two plans were vigorously implemented, even after Sasaki left Manchuria.

    But now they are actually a little surprised to hear from Sasaki that they should not challenge Li Guoyao's bottom line!

    Sasaki saw the expressions of Iida Sadagu and Hongo Yoshio, but he did not care. Instead, he said: "Your Excellency, I may know more about Li Guoyao's department than anyone here, because in  My 16th Division had already fought against this unit during the Nanjing Campaign in the 12th year of the Showa Period. Did you know that all the armies/armies in the later stage of the Nanjing Campaign were actually commanded by this branch/that general?"

    "Nani, how is this possible? In the 12th year of the Showa Period, Li should have been just a small major general brigade leader!" Iida Sadugu asked in surprise.

    "Yes, his public identity at that time was the Major General Brigade Commander of the 7th Independent Brigade, and his unit was always a miscellaneous army. However, this person secretly took over the command after General Tang, the top commander of Nanjing, withdrew from Nanjing.  He also commanded the defeated troops in Nanjing City to continue to block the Imperial Army, causing huge casualties to the Japanese Imperial Army, and even directly leading to the complete annihilation of the Imperial Army/the plan of the defenders to go bankrupt!"

    "Sasaki-kun, is this true? Why don't we know anything about it?" Hongo Yoshio asked with a frown.

    "Because this matter has been kept strictly confidential by the top brass. Don't talk about you. Even many senior commanders don't know about it. We also heard about it from some secret channels, but please don't worry.  This thing is absolutely true!¡±

    Then Sasaki continued: "I just want to say this to show that Li Guoyao is very courageous. He dared to seize the highest command of Nanjing City privately two years ago. I am afraid there is nothing he dare not do now. This man is going crazy.  It¡¯s so scary to come!¡±

    Iida Sadagu and Hongo Yoshio both took a breath. If what Sasaki said is true, then Li Guoyao is really brave!

    "Back to the current matter, there is no doubt that Li Guoyao's troops must have prisoners of the imperial army. It just depends on the number. Moreover, their attack capabilities are also obvious to all. If they are really stimulated to massacre the imperial citizens  , I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s very difficult for anyone to stop it, not even the support of the government!¡± Sasaki said.

    "But that guy actually used the heads of imperial warriors to build the Jingguan. This is the biggest insult to the imperial army!"

    "Your Excellency, if I guess correctly, the heads of those imperial soldiers were chopped off after they died in battle"

    "Sasaki-kun, how did you come up with this inference?" Iida Sadugu asked in a deep voice.

    "It's very simple. The county seat of Guanxian County was broken two days ago, and the defenders should have been killed at that time. Our people didn't find anything like Jingguan outside the county seat yesterday or the day before yesterday, but in Chichai  After the coalition captured those soldiers/that farmer, this Jingguan appeared. It was obviously Li Guoyao himself retaliating against the imperial army, rather than doing it intentionally."

    Sasaki Toichi then continued: "Judging from the time, those imperial troops should have been killed long ago, but they were just used for waste by Li Guoyao in the later period. Since this is the case, we actually don't need to take it to heart."

    "this"

    "Your Excellency, although I have not had many opportunities to interact with Li Guoyao, and I don't like that general/that person very much, but to be fair, this person can be regarded as a real soldier."He is also a respectable opponent. If we fight in a military way, the other party will not do the same.  "

    Hongo Yoshio also nodded and said: "Your Excellency, I agree with Mr. Sasaki's opinion. There is no need for us to irritate Li Guoyao's subordinates on this matter!"

    Iida Sadagu nodded and said: "Yo Xi, then notify the troops on the front line and ask them to abide by imperial military discipline and not cause trouble!"

    "Hai!"

    At this time, Iida Sadagu said again: "You two, the situation in western Shandong is unstable now, and the battle plan in southwestern Shandong can only be shelved. What should we do next? What do you think?"

    Yoshio Hongo said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, according to the investigation conducted by the people from the Special High School during this period, Li Guoyao's troops in southwest Shandong have been mobilized frequently. It can be seen that the troop strength of this department in southwest Shandong must have increased a lot.  , and Lu Xi¡¯s troops are basically imitating the combat characteristics of Tubal Road, taking advantage and fleeing, which is obviously deliberately stimulating the imperial army, and its purpose is to buy time for Lu Xi¡¯s troops!¡±

    "Yo Xi, keep talking!" Iida Sadao said.

    "Through the battles in the past few days, we can find that Li Guoyao's troops in Western Shandong should not be too many, and they can kill three to five thousand people. Therefore, my opinion is that there is no need to delay with the opponent in Western Shandong. Our goal  It should still be southwestern Shandong!" said Yoshio Hongo.

    "You mean to ignore Lu Xi's army?"

    "That's not to ignore it. Just let the Chichai Regiment pursue the enemy army. There is no need to annihilate them all. We just need to drive them out of Luxi. In turn, the main force of the imperial army should continue to attack southwestern Lu according to the original plan!"

    "Sasaki-kun, what do you mean?" Iida Sadugu asked again.

    "Your Excellency, I agree with the opinion of the chief of staff of this township. After the Luxi army successively conquered Liaocheng, Shenxian, and Dong'a and severely damaged the fifth independent brigade, its own casualties must have been extremely heavy. It should have been  If we don't have the strength to fight with the Chichai Alliance and the independent fifth brigade, the main force of the imperial army can indeed go south to attack southwestern Shandong!" Sasaki said.

    "Yo Xi, if that's the case, then let's follow your opinions, Sasaki-kun, I'll leave it to you for this strategic battle in southwestern Shandong!" Iida Sadao said.

    "Hai, thank you for your trust!" Sasaki responded immediately

    At this time, Li Guoyao did not know about the tactical adjustment of the Japanese 12th Army. After receiving the news that the Japanese troops were stationed in Guan County, Li Guoyao immediately ordered Lu Zhanwu and others to withdraw to Guantao, and continued to move westward with the Japanese troops in hand.

    Because after passing Guantao, you will reach the border of southern Hebei. At this time, the forces in southern Hebei are intertwined and it is chaotic. If the Japanese army pursues them, they will easily be besieged by the national army and the Eighth Route Army. It is really a question whether they can retreat intact by then.  unknown.

    What's more important is that once the main force of the Japanese army is transferred to southern Hebei, Li Guoyao's troops who stayed in western Shandong will be the only one in the family, and they will be able to cause trouble in heaven again.

    "What Li Guoyao didn't expect was that although the Japanese troops pursued him, the first ones to be attacked were not the Japanese but his troops.

    What Li Guoyao couldn't accept the most was that the ones who attacked him were not Japanese devils or bandits, but the National Army troops!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
