Lieutenant General Hara Mamoru still didn't want Kato Daisa's life after all. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Although he was extremely annoyed that Kato had lost the battle, in the final analysis, Kato was still his nephew and son-in-law after all. There is such a layer of kinship here, and Kato's Yaga usually has no less filial piety to his cousin, so Lieutenant General Hara Shou can't bear to be too ruthless to Kato.

A stinking scolding that cut his head and covered his face, coupled with the punch and kick at the last moment, can be regarded as a severe punishment for Kato. However, the division commander also explained, if you Kato still dare to mess around in the future battles, don't blame me for being unkind to you!

Daisa Kato passed the test easily, and when it was the turn of Major General Tanaka, he was not so lucky. Lieutenant General Hara Mamoru didn't say anything cruel with a straight face, he just told Major General Tanaka: His Excellency General Umezu Mijiro, commander of the Kwantung Army, has twice asked about the battle at Dustpan Mountain, and now that the battle is like this, you can go and explain it to Your Excellency the General yourself!

And that's starting to push me out as a scapegoat? Major General Tanaka knew in his heart that from the time he was appointed commander of the special task force, the division commander had already planned for him the way forward: he would be sent back to China and relieved of his military duties. General Hara will use his connections in China to find a good job for Major General Tanaka, so that he can spend his old age happily.

However, Rear Admiral Tanaka felt that he was still young, he had only just turned thirty-seven years old, and it was too early to spend his old age in peace, right? Major General Tanaka feels that he can fight for another twenty or thirty years, not to mention the general, at least he must be a lieutenant general and then retire, right?

Before Major General Tanaka came to the Ninth Division, he had been serving in the War Department in Japan, and he had made many contacts in the War Department over the years. Now at a critical moment, his previous connections will come in handy. The letter was too slow to write, and after returning to the unit, Major General Tanaka used the radio station of the detachment headquarters to continuously send a telegram to the country for urgent help!

Just after 11 o'clock in the morning of the next day, the commander of the Kwantung Army, Umezu Mijiro, called the headquarters of the 9th Division to ask the division's opinion on the handling of Major General Tanaka.

"Your Excellency, I mean repatriation, dismissal! Major General Tanaka is a rare warrior. However, after all, he lost the battle of Dustpan Mountain, resulting in the casualties of thousands of Imperial soldiers, and the loss of face of our Imperial Japanese Army. If you make a mistake, you must be punished, although he is a capable general......"

"Yuan Shoujun, you also said that he is a capable general and a rare general? Well, I'm sure what you say must be true. Now that Ren Laifeng is leading the army to attack Beiman, isn't it a pity that such a rare general will let him retire? That's a waste of talent! ”

"On the one hand, the empire said that there were fewer and fewer generals who could fight, and on the other hand, there were groups of famous generals who retired. I don't know what the Army doesn't think, but our Kwantung Army must not make such a low-level mistake! I will never allow a general like Major General Tanaka who can fight a war to retire! ”

Admiral Umezu seemed to be moved by his true feelings, and his voice became higher and higher as he spoke. Lieutenant General Yuan Shou didn't dare to say a word here, just stood straight, bowed his head and listened to the general's lesson. Commander Umezu made this call with one meaning: to protect Major General Tanaka!

Lieutenant General Yuan Shou is not a stupid person, and a stupid person cannot be the commander of the Ninth Division. Before he put down the phone, he understood that it must be Major General Tanaka who had found a helper and someone to help him speak. In the place where the Lenovo people stayed before they came to the Ninth Division, the War Department, it is not clear who to ask for help, of course, it is a certain senior official of the War Department.

Come on, it's best to find someone to exonerate, you're a scapegoat that's pretty handy, and I'm going to continue to use it! Who do you want me to go to? Lieutenant General Hara Mamoru made up his mind and sent someone to call Major General Tanaka.

"Tanaka-kun, please be seated. Just now, Commander Umezu personally called and said that it was quite rare for a general like Tanaka-kun to be able to fight. The commander has a heart for talent, and he wants you to stay in the Kwantung Army. I very much agree with Admiral Umezu's words! If Tanaka-kun returns to China, it is indeed a pity for talent. In this way, you still lead your detachment, and you are also the leader of your detachment, to assist the friendly forces against the wind of the army! ”

In the imagination of the original lieutenant general, the new tenth army tracked all the way to the city of Jiamusi, and would definitely start a siege battle immediately regardless of the group! There is a saying in China that enemies are very red when they meet. Ren Laifeng seems to be born an enemy of the Japanese army, and when the two sides meet, they don't start fighting immediately, right? I heard that Ren Laifeng is not a good-tempered person.

The task force has retreated, will Ren Laifeng's troops be far away? Lieutenant General Yuan Shou just wanted to use the task force to block Ren Laifeng's first round of attacks! Although Major General Tanaka only lost the battle, but being able to run back after defeating is also an experience, isn't it? From this point of view, in fact, Major General Tanaka still has an advantage over other major generals in the division!

Lieutenant General Hara Shou made all the preparations and waited to meet Ren Laifeng's crazy attack. However, what he didn't expect was that Lin Xincheng, the commander of the New Tenth Army who led the troops this time, did not immediately attack, he stopped two kilometers away from the Japanese army!

Ouch, this time Lieutenant General Yuan Shou can do a difficult job. Two kilometers, the range of bullets is not reached, but artillery shells can hit. But your cannonballs can hit it, and other people's cannonballs can hit it back! Only by destroying the opponent's artillery first, can their own artillery concentrate on attacking the opponent's infantry. Where is the artillery of the New Tenth Army?

Lieutenant General Hara Shou was completely unfamiliar with the New Tenth Army. He had never met this unit before, including when they were in the Angolan Army. Lieutenant General Hara Mamoru only said when Kato Osa introduced to him the situation at Dustpan Mountain that the artillery of the New Tenth Army was too powerful, and the artillery brigade of the Imperial Army was not an opponent at all!

The artillery is powerful, is it accurate or has more artillery? The division commander didn't care at the time, and now he wants to ask, but Kato Daisa went to the troops. The lieutenant general called the phone, and the signal soldier who answered the phone told him: Kato Osa is not at home when he goes out, and I will ask him to call you back when he returns.

It was very relaxed and homely, and Lieutenant General Hara Shou felt quite comfortable when he heard it. Who is this signal soldier? The voice is quite sweet, so I turned around and transferred people to the brigade headquarters.

At the moment when the original lieutenant general was at a loss, Lin Xincheng had already asked the troops to stop and take a defensive position. Although it is not far from the dustpan mountain to here, most of the middle is a mountain road, and his two feet are sore and sore all the way, how can he fight a good battle in this state?

Lin Xincheng meant to let the troops eat and rest, rest for half a day, and then start fighting.
