Chapter 36: Multiple Divisions
South of Mukden City, the headquarters of the 2nd Division of the Japanese Kwantung Army in Liaoyang.
Ozawa, chief of staff of the 2nd Division, hurriedly walked out of the telegraph room, holding in his hand a telegram he had just received, on which was clearly written in block letters the latest battle situation sent by Wing Commander Kuro Tano from the Beida Battalion.
Ozawa is about in his early forties this year, he is medium-sized, with a stout figure, especially his neck is almost the same width as his head, and his chubby cheeks are inlaid with a pair of slender eyes, which is very kind to people, but the officers of the second division know that his chief of staff is very difficult to mess with, and even the division commander Tamen Jiro has to scare him for three points.
Ozawa walked out of the telegraph room, raised his hand to look at the message, and then turned and walked towards the backyard of the division headquarters.
Passing through the heavily guarded main hall, Ozawa walked down a corridor to the west to a cross-courtyard, where the commander of the 2nd Division, Jiro Tamon, lived.
The headquarters of the 2nd Division was occupied by the house of a local former Qing nobleman, who sold his house to pay off his debts because of the failure of his family, and was later bought by the Japanese Nanman Society and resold to the Japanese Kwantung Army as a headquarters.
Therefore, the whole headquarters is magnificent, full of strong classical architectural atmosphere.
Before he walked into the courtyard, Ozawa heard the melodious sound of silk and bamboo, as well as the slap of the division commander Tamen Jiro, and he couldn't help frowning.
Jiro Tamon can be said to be a very good commander, with rich combat experience, and has a very good reputation in the Japanese military circles, but he has one of the biggest shortcomings, that is, he likes to watch singing and dancing and soak in hot springs, almost to the point of hobby.
After being transferred to the 2nd Division as commander, Jiro Tamon chose this small cross-courtyard with hot springs, and soaked for half an hour every morning and evening, and then listened to the songs and dances of the geisha he brought from Japan, which became almost a law that could not be shaken.
Chief of Staff Ozawa had advised him many times, but he simply ignored it and still went his own way, leaving Ozawa with no way at all1
Walking on the melodious music in the house, Ozawa came to the door of the house, he raised his hand and knocked on the door, "Duomen-kun, can I come in?" ”
"Please come in, Ozawa-kun!" The sound of Jiro Tamen came from inside the door, but the sound of tapping the beat still didn't stop.
Ozawa took a deep breath, then stepped forward and pushed the door and walked in!
The interior of the house is very spacious, and the original furniture has been moved out and replaced with tatami mats and furniture unique to Japan, and it is completely furnished to look like a Japanese home.
Directly across the door, on the tatami mat sat a Japanese soldier with gray hair and a wide kimono, staring intently at the singing and dancing geisha in front of him, with sake and sashimi, and some other fruits beside him!
Seeing Ozawa walk in the door, Jiro Tamon raised his head and smiled at him, then waved his hand and said, "Ozawa-kun, please take a seat, Mieko's singing and dancing are really good, let's enjoy it together!" ”
A servant next to him brought food and sake to Ozawa, and then bowed down and withdrew!
Ozawa stood in front of the tatami mat and did not move, but raised the telegram in his hand towards Tamonjiro, "Tamon-kun, Tano Kuro has sent information from the North Daying!" ”
Duomen Jiro's eyes were still fixed on the song and dance, and he looked confident, "Oh, have you already taken the North Daying, how about the seizure?" ”
"He reported that the North Camp had been successfully taken!" Ozawa paused, then continued, "But the camp in Beida is already empty, and all the supplies have been destroyed except for being taken away by the Northeast Army!" ”
"What!"
Hearing this, Domen Jiro was stunned, then waved his hand at the geisha, motioned for them to retreat, and then stood up from the tatami mat, "Ozawa-kun, don't worry, you speak slowly, what the hell is going on?" ”
Ozawa had to recount the events reported on the telegram, especially the destruction of Shoichi Shimamoto's second brigade and the serious injuries he was sustained.
"I didn't expect that Shoichi Shimamoto's second brigade of the independent garrison would be wiped out by the Shina people, it's a bit incredible!" After listening to Ozawa's story, Jiro Tamon reached out and stroked his beard, and sighed, "How can the strength of the army of the Shina people be so strong?" ”
"Yes, since the First Sino-Japanese Naval War, the people of China have been an empty shelf with a strong foreign power, on the surface they look majestic, but in fact they are vulnerable, and the wars have just proved these, even if there are occasionally some sober people, but in the end they can't change the fate of being conquered by our Japanese Empire!" Ozawa nodded in agreement, and then continued, "As far as I know, the combat effectiveness of the Northeast Army in the Shina Army is relatively strong, except for the Central Army, they must be counted, but even their elite troops are definitely not the opponent of our Kwantung Army, let alone annihilate the second brigade of the independent garrison led by our Kwantung Army, the new star of our Kwantung Army, Shimamoto Shoichi!" ”
In the Kwantung Army, Shimamoto Shoichi is a hot new star, and he is known as the "Three Heroes of the Kwantung Army" along with Hikaru Fujita of Nobunaga's special attack team and Nakamura Makifumi of the Japanese Kwantung Army's special high school, and he is also a talent cultivated by the Kwantung Army.
But it was such an elite unit that was completely annihilated by the river outside the Beida camp, and only he survived, which is really shocking!
At this time, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and then a Japanese staff officer shouted loudly outside the door, "Report, I have received the latest telegram from the captain of the Sen Company of the Independent Garrison Headquarters!" ”
"Come in!"
A Japanese staff officer with the rank of lieutenant hurried in, handed a telegram to Jiro Tamon, bowed his head, turned and retreated.
Jiro Tamen unfolded the telegram, swept the telegram at a glance and ten lines, his face suddenly changed greatly, he handed the telegram to Ozawa, and sighed dejectedly, "How can this be?" ”
Ozawa took the telegram, unfolded it and looked at it carefully, but his face changed, and he muttered to himself, "Impossible, the 1st and 3rd Brigades of the Independent Garrison were also ambushed on the way to support the 2nd Brigade of Shoichi Shimamoto, and suffered heavy losses, Iwata Shoo died, and Kogawara Uraji Nakasa was captured, this is also incredible!" ”
Jiro Domon's fat brain was covered with bulging green tendons, his brows were wrinkled into pimples, and he paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, thinking about what had happened.
He had a hunch that this was just a signal, and I was afraid that something more unexpected would happen in the future, even to the Kwantung Army!
