Chapter 551: Tada Jun's decision

After the failure of the 386th Brigade of Taiyue, General Binshan Yuan, commander of the North China Front Army, was directly replaced by Lieutenant General Tada Jun.

Tada Jun has to face many challenges as commander of the North China Front Army with the rank of lieutenant general.

The most important challenge is to obtain the support of more than a dozen lieutenant generals of the North China Front Army as a lieutenant general.

Even if I am the commander appointed by the military headquarters, if I do not have the support of these lieutenant general division commanders and commanders who hold military power, I will never make any achievements in the position of commander of the North China Front Army, and it is possible that I will even be in a mess.

In this case, Colonel Matsumoto's affairs gave him a breakthrough.

The meaning of domestic means to directly transfer Matsumoto back to China, and after staying in the military for a year, he was sent to the army to serve as the brigade commander.

However, in order to obtain the huge political relations and support from the military headquarters after Matsu himself, Tada Jun decisively rejected the military headquarters' intention.

The operations of the special forces in the North China Front Army did not meet expectations and were directly changed to achieve good results by Tada Jun.

In this way, Matsumoto would not have to be punished and refrigerated.

In addition, the special forces trained by Matsumoto, Tada Junshi did have a skill in dealing with the Eighth Route Army. With a sudden inspiration, he decided to leave him in the North China Front Army, and to be promoted to become a major general brigade commander.

The Chief of Staff of the Japanese Front Command of North China rushed in with a telegram, smiling, and you could tell at a glance that it was a good thing.

"Your Excellency Commander, it is really wise to insist that Major General Matsumoto serve as the brigade commander of the newly expanded Linyi Garage Brigade. In just a few days, Matsumoto defeated the New First Regiment of the Eighth Route Army that was active in Linyi. Less than 300 people were chased by our infantry brigade and ran away in a row and hid in the mountains!"

"I believe that with Major General Matsumoto in Linyi, the Eighth Route Army in Linyi and several surrounding counties could no longer be arrogant and was eventually wiped out by Major General Matsumoto!"

Tada Jun also smiled, stared at the Chief of Staff and asked, "If I guessed correctly, the remnants of the special forces in his hands should have played a lot of role!"

"Yes, Your Excellency Commander!" said the Chief of Staff affirming.

"It seems that I decided to keep Matsumoto at the beginning!" Tada Jun said affirmatively.

"Although the performance of the special forces on the battlefield did not meet expectations and was disbanded by the military headquarters. But one thing is undeniable, the special forces still have a way of dealing with the Eighth Route Army guerrilla warfare, and our main opponent is the Eighth Route Army. Therefore, the special forces cannot disappear, and I will use them to deal with the Eighth Route Army!"

Then, without waiting for the Chief of Staff to ask about his doubts and concerns, he began to give orders.

"Give Major General Matsumoto a telegram, and the Front Army will then organize a brigade of the Linyi Garrison Brigade, and continue to form a training special forces to fight against the Eighth Route Army. All materials and equipment expenses will be borne by the Front Army!"

"Also, tell Major General Matsumoto to do a good job in Linyi and train the special brigade well. As long as the Linyi garrison brigade has sufficient military achievements and combat effectiveness, I will apply to the military headquarters to expand the garrison brigade into an independent mixed brigade and become a field force!"

This telegram from Shin Tada, the North China Front Command, restored Matsumoto's confidence and was responsible for clearing the anti-Japanese forces in several surrounding counties, and began to form a special forces that he was best at.

In the end, Matsumoto and his subordinates directly developed into the entire Taiyue, and even the most difficult Japanese to fight in Shanxi!

At the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, Wang Ping, who had been tense for nearly two months, had a rare time to rest.

Every day, I train on time at night, and go to the mountains to train with the special forces during the day, hunt and have some tooth sacrifices.

In the past two months in Taiyue, due to various reasons such as war and shortage of food in the army, I ate coarse grains and dry marching food every day. I was lucky enough to seize the canned Japanese food. Wang Ping's mouth was almost fading out. He took advantage of this time to replenish it.

After the day's training, Wang Ping had just returned to the station with two hares on his back when the headquarters guard knocked on his door.

"Captain Wang, I want to see you and ask you to come over immediately, the faster the better!" As soon as I saw Wang Ping, the other party reported, his eyes full of envy.

Whether it is the first cook squad leader or the special forces captain who followed closely, Wang Ping is not at a high level, but he enjoys the treatment of a cadre at the regiment level or above, and even eats better than the head of the headquarters. This is definitely unprecedented in the headquarters.

However, Wang Ping did it. Not only did it, the director turned a blind eye to what he did, closed his eyes and ignored it!

Wang Ping, regardless of what the guard in front of him was thinking, frowned and said to himself.

"So anxious? Is there something wrong again?"

"I don't know either. Both chiefs are waiting for you at the command center, so that you can go there as soon as you receive the order!" The guard quickly answered.

Wang Ping's reaction was quick, and he took the arms on the table to his waist and walked out.

In the headquarters war room, as soon as Wang Ping walked in, the deputy commander-in-chief handed him a telegram.

"This is an urgent telegram from Brigade Commander Chen of the 386th Brigade. It has something to do with you. You can take a look first!"

"Matsumoto, the commander of the Linyi Garage Brigade, he will not be in special forces anymore!" As soon as he read the telegram, Wang Ping frowned and said to himself.

After reading the full telegram, Wang Ping frowned even deeper.

"It's incredible that Tada Jun actually trusts Matsumoto so much!"

"Not only did he be the brigade commander, but he also asked him to reorganize special forces to deal with us. In this case, the 386th Brigade will definitely suffer a great loss!"

"Matsumoto was born in a special forces unit and must be very familiar with our guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare. He was asked to be the brigade commander in Linyi. The troops we are active there will definitely be very difficult to display. Maybe they will be driven out by Matsumoto, or even eliminated!"

"You are right, let's take a look at the second telegram from Brigade Commander Chen!" The deputy commander-in-chief took out another telegram and said.

"The Xinyi regiment was crippled by Matsumoto, and there was only one deputy battalion commander and more than 200 remaining soldiers left in the regiment, and all the others were sacrificed. They were chased by the Japanese all the way into the mountain!"

"Captain Zhou died!" Wang Ping was stunned and shouted in disbelief.

"Not only Commander Zhou, but also the political commissar of the New First Regiment, the Chief of Staff, including other personnel from the command center and a battalion below, were all taken over by the Japanese!" This time the deputy Chief of Staff spoke, his tone was full of anger and frustration.

"Our Eighth Route Army has been sending troops to fight against Japan for several years. No regiment has suffered such great losses! The battle was too frustrating. Also, as soon as the new regiment retreated, the anti-Japanese deeds in Linyi and several surrounding counties were gone, and they were devastatingly hit by the Japanese."

"It can be said that our anti-Japanese war in Linyi is now in a blank state!"

Wang Ping's eyes quickly turned to the map on the wall, and frowned and replied: "Linyi is too important. The Eshou Tongpu Railway must not be lost!"
