59. Motegi prepares for the invasion of China

In 1908, Maenotsuki Motegi led his protégé Takeo Oshima and others to travel north along Nakajo in the name of travel, and they traveled all the way to Shanxi, Ordos, and Chahar. After the group left Nakajo Mountain, Motegi Mae Zhizuki said to the students while walking: "The west of the Shanxi side of China, with many mountains in the territory, criss-crossed, has a special location, can control Manchu and Mongolia in the north, and overlooks North China and the Central Plains in the south, which is a strategic highland, which is greatly suitable for war and defense ......."

By the way, they traveled to Mount Wutai, and were shocked by the temples of Wutai Hongda, and envied this place, and asked themselves why there is no one on Mount Fuji? This reminds me of how wonderful it would be if this place could be turned into the land of the Yamato nation.

Oshima Shuxiong saw that the teacher was more contemplative than sightseeing along the way, and he thought more about it than looking far away, so he said to him: "Teacher, you can see that the country is vast and rich, and this place is even more beautiful and beautiful, but it is a pity that my island country only has Mount Fuji, but there is no such magnificent and splendid Guangyu and rivers and mountains. I don't know what the teacher feels about this fairyland on earth? ”

Motegi Mae Zhizhu was thinking about this, listening to the apprentice's question, he didn't feel a move in his heart, and secretly felt that this disciple had a soul, and couldn't help but stop the wild horse in his thoughts, and looked back at the apprentice in front of him. I saw that he was wearing a gray robe and a hat, young and masculine, and he couldn't tell that he was Japanese. Looking at the other apprentices, tall or short, fat or thin, although they all changed into Qing Guo clothes from their clothes according to his instructions before leaving, they could still see the gloomy atmosphere on their faces from their expressions.

Motegi Mae no Tsuki looked at the bruised face of Tsuio Oshima in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "Although this place is good, it is not my land at this time. Since the Meiji Restoration, our island country has gradually become one of the world's advanced countries. Sooner or later, the Yamato nation will conquer this country, where men still comb braids and women bind their feet.

They are known as the sick men of East Asia, and they still enjoy the cultural immersion of thousands of years, and have this paradise-like fairyland, which is too undeserved. I think that my Yamato nation is such a good nation, don't you deserve to enjoy all this......"

Several apprentices, including Oshima Shuo, listened like a thunderbolt, and without realizing that they had their own understandings, they all expressed their feelings about the current situation in Japan and the current world situation. Between the words, they eagerly hoped that the Japanese army would immediately send troops to Asia, and first turn Qing and Korea into their own land.

Motegi, with his qualifications and knowledge, thought further than others, and he said, "War needs excuses, and raising troops needs to be famous." In our country, it is best to say that it is a holy war for Northeast Asia, and for the people of China and Korea, it is said that we will establish a greater East Asia for common prosperity and common progress, coexistence and common prosperity......"

Oshima Shuo and other apprentices were even more full of ambition when they heard this, and vowed in their hearts that they would make contributions to the conquest of the Qing Kingdom......

Oshima Shuxiong had already wanted to ask the teacher about something, so he said to the teacher with a smile: "The teacher must have known Sun Wenqi for a long time?" ”

Motegi Mae Nozuki answered the apprentice's questions noncommittally. His thick eyebrows and big eyes, blue skin, and angular face, although he shaved down the human danhu, he still couldn't hide his gloomy and murderous aura.

Oshima Shuxiong was always impressed by the teacher's temperament, knowledge and military awareness, so he continued: "Teacher, what do you think of Sun Wen? ”

Motegi Maenotsuki said: "Sun Wen was a talent, he was not reused in the Qing Dynasty, and he was always committed to the preservation and improvement of the Qing Dynasty, and they called it revolution. Most of them use overseas and our country as the base for activities, and they still use donations from overseas Chinese in Nanyang as funds, and spare no effort. If this person is used by my Yamato nation, the harvest will be immeasurable......"

When Oshima saw that the teacher only said this, he swore that he would stop talking, and the words were endless and meaningful, but it was not what he wanted to hear the most. So he said respectfully: "Teacher, the students think that if our military department sends troops to the Qing State, it should be sooner rather than later. It is better to take action before Sun Wen's reform is completed, otherwise, if Sun Wen succeeds, it will awaken the people's sense of party spirit, and it will make all the actions of our army and our country more difficult, and it will be greatly difficult......"

Hearing this, Motegi Mae Nozuki was even more impressed by this apprentice. Said very appreciatively: "...... Xi"

At this time, the monks in the Wutai Mountain Temple saw that they were on a long-distance trip, so they came to invite them to the temple for fasting.

After the meal, Motegi Maenotsuki took the initiative to chat with the abbot.

Motegi Maenotsu looked at the abbot of the fairy wind bone, and asked about the situation of the mountains and rivers, geographical allusions, etc., and saw the abbot speak highly, Taoism**, and then asked uselessly, and asked provocatively and boringly when he wanted to end: "Abbot, why don't you ask where we are from?" ”

The abbot didn't pick his eyelids, and said: "The south is a guest, and the east is also a guest, Amitabha, my Buddha is merciful, if the guest wants to offend the master, let him go......"

Motegi Mae no Tsuku's gang said goodbye in a gray manner.

They also went to Youyu in Shanxi, Ordos in Suiyuan, Inner Mongolia and Chahar, and stayed for several days to see Wang Lingzhao and other Buddhist temples...... In front of Chahar Moteki, he said: "Dajingmen and Duolunnaoer are also strategic locations, and our Japanese army's Beiping embassy army and Tianjin garrison army should be stationed here......

After beating Oshima Shuo and talking about Sun Wen, Motegi Mae Nozuki gradually had no intention of traveling, and felt more and more that he had to return to China to tell the military headquarters what he had thought and understood during this period of time, especially various information, and suggested that the military department take action as soon as possible.

At the end of 1908, he led his students back to Japan.

Some of the young Zhuang officers in the Japanese military circles were very much in favor of Motegi's proposals and propositions, and at the repeated demands of these people, the military headquarters hired a large number of radical officers, including Motegi Maenotsuki and some of his students.

Motegi began to offer advice and advice to the Japanese army's road to strengthening the army, sparing no effort to run and do his best to learn, so that the Japanese army improved in terms of tactics, army management, and logistics for the Qing Dynasty. With the help of the experience of the Russo-Japanese War, grenadiers, mortars and 92 infantry guns were closely coordinated, rehearsed and cohesive with the infantry.

In 1925, Motegi Mae Nozuki was the supreme commander of the Kwantung Army's East Manchuria, commanding the 21st Brigade of four wings, which had been active east of Shenyang, and the troops were distributed throughout East Manchuria, and there was always a wing stationed in Korea.

The headquarters of the Kwantung Army, which was located in Lushun, had always proposed to the military headquarters that General Motegi Maenozuku, who had been promoted to major general, should be in charge of the headquarters. Motegi Mae no Tsuki turned a deaf ear to the transfer of the military headquarters and the hospitality of the Kwantung Army Headquarters. What he meant was that he would rather be a front-line officer than a deputy at the headquarters. The implication is that he has to have the final say.

Although he let the hot face of the Kwantung Army Command stick his cold ass, he was also quite supportive of the militants in the Kwantung Army Command. Ultra-right militarists such as Okamura Ninji and Kenji Dohihara in the war against China were those who tried every means to create a fuse, and Motegi Mae Nozuki was the vanguard of the front.

In 1928, the Huanggutun Incident, and in 1931, the Wicker Lake Incident provided all kinds of support, such as Motegi Maenozuki, who was a staunch supporter of the local military.

After the September 18 Incident, Motegi advocated carpet bombing of the Beida Battalion with heavy artillery, but this proposition was later proved to be wrong. Because of this, the Kwantung Army Command was no longer so eager for him.

But he didn't care, and continued to do his own thing. On the second day of the September 18 Incident, he led the whole brigade to bypass Shenyang, march to the north of Manchuria, and launch a devastating attack on all strategic points of the Northeast Army. While occupying the Northeast with other Japanese troops, it gradually encountered the fierce resistance of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation and the Northeast Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army.

In the Battle of Jiangqiao, the 21st Brigade led by him fought a bloody battle with the anti-Japanese volunteers on the periphery, and also lost most of the two wings.

In the battle to capture **, the other two wings were transferred by the headquarters to Siping and Jinzhou. Due to the tight war and the fact that there was no hope of the two wings being rebuilt, he formed the prototype of the current brigade on the basis of the original direct subordinate units.

Later, he asked for a number from the Kwantung Army Headquarters, and gradually formed the Fourth Cavalry Brigade, which was called the Motegi Cavalry Fourth Brigade, also known as the Kumamoto Brigade. At the beginning of the construction of the Fourth Brigade, he did not trust soldiers from other places, and on the premise of obtaining permission from the military headquarters, he sent the chief of staff, Shintaro Umei, back to Kumamoto Prefecture to recruit soldiers.

The people of Kumamoto still believe in Motegi, of course, they were also confused by the Great East Asian Holy War, thinking that the Holy War was immortal! He also contributed 5,000 Kumamoto children.

By the spring of 1932, as soon as the 5,000 well-trained Kumamoto disciples arrived in Jilin, Motegi set out to build a division of tigers and wolves.

Motegi Mae no Tsuki admired Qi Jiguang, and he and Umei Shintaro Osa studied the materials about the Qi family army all day long, trying to recreate a Japanese Mao family army.

The Fourth Brigade was in the hands of him and Shintaro Umei, and it was indeed blocking and killing in the west, and its combat strength surpassed that of other Japanese troops. Motegi led this army to fight bloody battles over Ma Zhanshan, encircled and suppressed Feng Zhanhai, and pursued and killed Yang Jingyu, and felt that he had a good record.

At the beginning of February 1933, as soon as he received an order from the Kwantung Army Headquarters, he led his troops to Tongliao to assemble. After the Tongliao Command issued a plan for him to carry out the middle operation and take Chifeng directly, he came to the mountain slope with murderous spirit......
