As soon as Shunroku Hata raised his head, another communications staff officer hurriedly barged in from outside and reported to His Excellency the commander: "From the Hefei side, the 1st Flying Regiment of the Imperial Army Aviation, General Shengxiao of the Central Plains is in an emergency. ”

"Is it to report the results of the battle?" Shunroku Hata whispered, then reached out to take the telegram from the communications staff officer's hand.

In the next moment, the expression on Shunroku Hata directly froze, and he looked shocked when he saw a ghost.

Chief of Staff Shozo Kawabe was keenly aware that something was wrong, and immediately walked over and took the telegram from Shunroku Hatata.

After reading it, Kawabe Shozo also froze in place, and even his hands holding the message trembled slightly.

"It can't be! That's impossible! ”

"Even if there is still an aviation unit in the China Army, how can it be possible to defeat the 1st Flying Group of our Imperial Army with the combat quality of the China Army Aviation and the performance of its fighters?"

Shunroku Hata didn't want to believe this fact, he stared at the communication staff officer in front of him with a cold gaze, and said coldly: "Are you sure of the authenticity of this message?" ”

The communications staff officer was frightened by Shunroku Hata's almost cannibalistic gaze, and hurriedly nodded and responded: "Hayi! After receiving the telegram, he sent another telegram back to the 1st Flying Regiment of the Imperial Army Aviation.

In addition, Zhongyuan Shengxiao should not dare to joke about this matter.

So...... Therefore, it should be possible to determine the authenticity of this message! ”

"Yaga! Bastard! Damn it! What a bunch of useless rice buckets! After hearing this, Shunroku Hata was suddenly furious, his face was flushed with anger, and he gritted his teeth and said, "What did he eat in the first place?" The 1st Aviation Flying Brigade of the Imperial Japanese Imperial Army was defeated by the Chinese in an air battle?

This is really a disgrace to the soldiers of the Empire!

He is not worthy of being the commander of the 1st Flight Regiment of the Imperial Army's Aviation, and I must send him to a military court! ”

Saying this, Shunroku Hata seemed to suddenly remember something, and he was even more angry: "Yaga Yalu!" I said why Okamura Ninji didn't report to me the results of the Majiagou battle, it turned out to be because of this reason! ”

The chief of staff on the side, Kawabe Masasa, hurriedly comforted: "Your Excellency the commander is angry, now is not the time to pursue responsibility, besides, General Nakahara Shengxiao also explained in the telegram.

The reason for the defeat this time was that he did not expect the presence of aviation in the Chinese army, and was caught by surprise.

Counting up, the extra high school also has a certain responsibility.

In addition, the Chinese army dispatched more than 50 fighters.

The enemy was outnumbered, and it was reasonable that the 1st Flying Brigade of the Imperial Army was defeated. ”

It is worth mentioning that after the old devil Jin Tian Yong Nan went back, because he was afraid of being reprimanded by the regiment commander Nakahara Shengtaka, he lied that the Chinese Air Force had dispatched more than 50 fighters to cover up his unfavorable combat crimes.

Unbeknownst to Nakahara Moritaka, he truthfully relayed Kaneda's original words to Shunroku Hata who was far away in Jinling through a telegram.

No, to be more precise, in order to cover up the crime, Zhongyuan Shengxiao's report was also mixed with a lot of water.

After a pause, Kawabe Shozo continued: "A defeat doesn't mean anything.

Even, I think, this defeat is more beneficial than disadvantageous for the imperial army.

Because it is a good wake-up call for us, no matter at any time, we must not be careless against the enemy.

This defeat is a good example!

In the same way, with the combat effectiveness of the imperial army, it is definitely an easy thing to defeat the Tiger Ben Regiment of the Chinese Army.

But why did the imperial army repeatedly defeat the Tiger Ben Regiment of the Chinese Army?

It is not that the combat effectiveness of the imperial army is inferior to that of the Tiger Ben Regiment of the Chinese Army, nor is it that the weapons and equipment of the Imperial Army are inferior to the Tiger Ben Regiment of the Chinese Army.

The reason for this is because the imperial army is careless and underestimates the enemy!

Since the Imperial Army entered China in 1931, there has been little decent resistance, and everything has gone too smoothly.

So that many commanders of the imperial army, when facing the Chinese army, involuntarily gave birth to a sense of contempt.

The arrogant army will be defeated, and it is precisely because Yang Jing has grasped this Achilles' heel of the commanders of the imperial army that he will bring immeasurable huge losses to the imperial army again and again!

Of course, it is undeniable that Yang Jing is indeed a very strategic vision, and tactical command ability, a very difficult opponent to deal with!

There is an old saying in China that failure is the mother of success. Therefore, it is precisely because of this defeat again and again that we should sum up our experience.

Just in case the same thing happens again! ”

Shunroku Hata is not a fool who only knows how to get angry and is easily carried away by anger when he encounters setbacks, otherwise, how could he become a general of the Japanese army and become the commander of the Central China Front?

After listening to the words of Chief of Staff Kawabe Shozo, he suppressed the anger in his heart and nodded thoughtfully.

Kawabe Shozo said again: "Right now, our biggest opponent is the Tiger Ben Regiment of the Chinese Army, as long as we can destroy it in one fell swoop, the previous loss is nothing at all."

As for the aviation of the Chinese army, in the eyes of the humble position, there is nothing to be afraid of, because with the combat effectiveness of the aviation of the imperial army, it can be easily eliminated without much effort! ”

"Chief of Staff, your analysis is good, just do as you say!" Shunroku Hata nodded again, and immediately ordered the first communications staff officer who was still standing there waiting for instructions: "Immediately send a telegram to Nakahara Shengtaka with my order, ordering him to assist the 6th Division of the Imperial Army this time no matter what, and wipe out all the Tiger Ben Regiment of the Shina Army!"

Otherwise, the punishment for the two crimes will not be lenient! ”

"Hayi!"

The Devil's Communications Staff Officer paused heavily, then turned around and left, walked through the corridor, and hurried towards the Confidential Department.

Kawabe Shozo waved his hand to the second communications staff officer and said, "You can go back too." ”

"Hayi!"

This devil's communications staff officer was like a pardon, first struck a heavy head, and then glanced at Kawabe Masazan with grateful eyes.

Only then did he turn and leave.

……

Hefei.

Command of the 1st Aviation Flight Regiment.

Nakahara Shengxiao is scolding Kaneda Yongnan with his head and face.

Because today's battle is simply a huge shame for his 1st Aviation Flying Regiment.

If it doesn't work, he, the commander of the 1st Flying Regiment, will be out of class.

You know, there are quite a few people who covet his position.

Now I will definitely seize this opportunity and attack him mercilessly.

Jin Tian Yongnan had a ghost in his heart, he drooped his head, and he didn't dare to speak, and the spittle of Zhongyuan Shengxiao kept splashing on his face, and he didn't dare to raise his hand to wipe it.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door.

A signal soldier hurriedly walked in from outside: "Your Excellency General, Your Excellency the Commander calls back!" ”

Zhongyuan Shengxiao's heart suddenly "chuckled", glared at Jintian Yongnan in front of him fiercely, and said, "Take it and I'll take a look!" ”

"Hayi!"

The devil's communication soldier slammed his head and stepped forward instead.
