Chapter 839: Cessation of War (2)

Okamura Ninji suffered a dumb loss, and he was angry, and he didn't listen to the words of the chief of staff of the devil at all.

Immediately, the chief of staff of the devil stood up and said, "Your Excellency Commander, please listen to me in detail. ”

"Since the Dispatch Army Command blames you, then you simply take the initiative to resign as the commander, without you as the commander, those guys in the Dispatch Army Command can't sing a one-man show......"

After listening to the words of the chief of staff, Okamura Ninji seemed to begin to understand a little.

If the old devil of Gangcun did not serve as the commander of the 11th Army, there would be no other suitable candidates for the entire dispatch army.

If Okamura Ninji really took the initiative to let Xian and hand over the post of commander of the 11th Army, I am afraid that Shunroku Hata would have to lick his old face and beg him.

Okamura Ninji was able to be the commander of the northern front, so he was naturally arrogant, and he would definitely not be able to stand being trained.

What's more, the main responsibility for the air attack on the Devil Combined Fleet this time is not on Okamura Ninji.

Therefore, the old devil in Gangcun immediately ordered the signal corps to reply to a telegram according to the instructions and submit it to the headquarters of the devil's Central China Dispatch Army.

In the content of the telegram, the old devil of Gangcun proposed to resign from the post of commander of the 11th Army.

……

Soon, the communications department of the Central China Dispatch Army received a telegram from Okamura Ninji.

This will, the generals of the Devil Dispatch Army Headquarters are studying what punishment to give Okamura Ninji.

A devil communications officer walked up with a telegram and walked up to Shunroku Hatata.

"Report to Your Excellency the Commander, Commander Okamura Ninji telegram!"

"Hurry up!" Shunroku Hata said loudly.

The devil's communications officer picked up the telegram and reported: "Since taking over the post of commander of the 11th Army, Okamura Ninji has made no meritorious achievements, and the Madang defense line has repeatedly failed, and it is difficult to escape the blame. ”

"It was decided to immediately resign from the post of commander of the 11th Army, and the command was returned to the Central China Dispatch Army Headquarters, and the capable person was invited to serve as the commander of the 11th Army, and continue to lead the Imperial 11th Army to break the Chinese army......"

"Yaga, this Okamura Ningji, what does he want to do?"

After listening to the report, Shunroku Hata couldn't help but be stunned, and he took the report of Okamura Ninji's resignation from military affairs handed over by the communications officer.

Okamura Ninji took the initiative to take the blame on the telegram, and said it more tactfully, without the slightest disrespect to the headquarters.

"This, this, Okamura Ninji, actually took the initiative to resign from the military affairs of the 11th Army......"

Shunroku Hata's current army can be ruthlessly generalized, and this guy Okamura Ninji doesn't play cards according to the road at all.

The other devil officers and generals in the headquarters were also confused one by one, if Okamura Ninji really resigned from all military affairs, how would this be good?

Although many generals in the Dispatch Army Command were dissatisfied with Okamura Ninji, who had been promoted beyond the ranks, everyone was dissatisfied, and they still quite recognized Okamura Ninji's military command ability.

If Okamura Ninji really stepped down as commander of the 11th Army, I'm afraid there would really be no suitable candidate.

These devil generals in the headquarters are not stupid, the northern road is the most difficult to attack, and a large number of main forces of the Chinese army have been gathered, and the commander of the 11th Army is not so easy to be.

The position of the commander of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army is very large, and the responsibility is also very great, and a general who does not have excellent command skills really cannot be the commander of 100,000 people.

"Yagaya Road, this Okamura Ningji!"

Shunroku Hata slammed the telegram in his hand on the desk, his face full of anger.

As the commander-in-chief of the dispatch army, Shunroku Hata, the generals under his command command have the ability to command operations, and he knows better than anyone who is strong and who is weak.

There are really few who have a huge headquarters, more than 30 senior generals, strategic vision, and command ability that can reach the level of Okamura Ningji.

Even Toshitoshi Hata, who is known as the chief commander sword, is really inferior to Okamura Ninji in terms of military command.

Shunroku Hata is a veteran commander and has much older qualifications than Okamura Ninji, so he is the first to overpower Okamura Ninji in his position.

"Okamura Ninji is resigning from the 11th Army, what should you all do?" Shunroku Hata's gaze swept over everyone in the headquarters and asked the others loudly.

The devil officers and generals of the headquarters, you look at me, I look at you, they all looked at each other, and they all fell silent.

Originally, Shunroku Hata just wanted to reprimand Okamura Ningji for a few words, just punish the big ones and give them a big commandment, find someone to carry the black pot, and this matter will be settled.

But fortunately, Okamura Ningji directly picked his son and quit, which made him very passive.

After a while, a devil lieutenant general stood up and said, "General, since Gangmura-kun took the initiative to resign from military affairs, then our headquarters will appoint someone else to serve as the commander of the 11th Army, right?" ”

"Yes, Commander, Gangcun Jun is arrogant, it is better to fulfill him and use someone else as the commander of the 11th Army." The rest of the devil generals suggested together.

Actually, Shunroku Hata also wanted to masturbate Okamura Ninji, a guy who has no one in his arrogant eyes, Shunroku Hata is not a fool, from the content of the telegram, of course, he can see that Okamura Ninji is deliberately playing a routine.

At this time, it was a critical moment in the Wuhan campaign between China and Japan, and the temporary change of commander affected the morale of the army, and there was no such suitable commander.

As the commander-in-chief, Shunroku Hata is also a face-loving person, so he turned his head and licked his face and begged Okamura Ninji, it seemed that he, the commander, couldn't pull down his face.

After all, Shunroku Hata is the commander of the Central China Dispatch Army, and he can't do anything rashly, and he has to start from the overall situation.

After thinking about it for a while, in the end, Shunroku Hata still took the initiative to show goodwill to Okamura Ninji, exempted the other party from all punishments, and said something hypocritical for the great cause of the empire.

This time, Okamura Ninji made the right move, not only did he not receive any punishment, he was able to continue to serve as the commander of the 11th Army, but he also won back face and dignity.

……

When the time came in the morning, Ouyang Jinglan and Anna returned to Wuhan City.

The two of them hurriedly wrote a press release, and early in the morning released the news of the air attack on the naval fleet of the operating devils.

The world's most powerful weapons are not only aircraft and artillery, but also public opinion, which is also a powerful weapon. 、

It is no exaggeration to say that public opinion can not only kill people, but also influence people's psychological feelings.

The news of the fiasco of the devil's combined fleet soon reached the ears of the devils who invaded China, which caused a lot of negative emotions to the enemy and affected the enemy's combat effectiveness.

When the soldiers and civilians in the surrounding areas of Wuhan learned the news, they stabilized the mood of many people, eliminated the idea of civilians escaping, and strengthened their determination to resist the war.

President Jiang even delivered a speech in Wuhan, stating in public that the Nationalist Government would defend Wuhan.

The land is not divided into north and south, and people are not divided into old and young, all have the responsibility of defending the land and resisting the war!

The Chinese military and civilians united as one and struck hard at the Japanese invaders and returned our rivers and mountains......
