Chapter 3: The Storm (Part 4)

"This ......" Shirakawa Shiro, the combat staff officer, continued to mutter, his heart was in turmoil, if the 93rd Regiment was really as Kawada Kuniaki judged, waiting for work near the Beizi Temple, and then attacking the reinforcements from all walks of life who came to help guard King De's lair, maybe who would have the last laugh

First of all, the troops that are relatively close to the Beizi Temple and can be drawn to the rescue are not very strong in their own strength, and if the Kawada Brigade had not experienced the last fierce battle, it would have been able to rank among the top few in it, and after that, it would be dominated by the second-line troops of the Kwantung Army, and the scale was all around the same squadron, which was not at all on the same order of magnitude as the 93rd Regiment If you really want to be approached by the 93rd Regiment of the National Revolutionary Army alone, it must be a "death" word that is fake

Secondly, the various armies that went to rescue Beizi Temple this time were far and near, and they were not subordinate to each other, so it was difficult for them to echo each other and advance in unison, and the 93rd Regiment of the National Revolutionary Army was not deaf or blind, and there was no shortage of all kinds of means of reconnaissance and communication, and they could even get the support of some Mongol nobles at both ends of the head and mouse, and secretly inform them of the news, so that they wanted to encircle and send reinforcements, and if they wanted to continue the attack, they would continue to attack, and the initiative would always be in their own hands, and the reinforcements from all walks of life were the heads sent to the door Waiting for them to harvest at any time

At present, the Kwantung Army Command has just undergone a major reshuffle and cannot operate normally at all; Commander-in-Chief Ueda Kenkichi and Chief of Staff Ryosuke Isoya were both removed from their posts because they lost ground in the Battle of Normenhan; hundreds of generals and staff officers were implicated; the new commander-in-chief, Umezu Mijiro, and the chief of staff, Iimura, were not convinced by each other; one was busy overhauling forts on the Sino-Soviet border to prevent the Soviet army from taking the opportunity to expand the results of the war; the other was eager to expand the border in Manchuria and swallowed the Saibei steppe in one gulp As a result, the armistice agreement with the Soviet Red Army has not yet been signed, and the main forces are attracted to the Nomenhan front line and dare not get out, and the other side is hurrying to crusade against the "seven and a half roads" where the morale and equipment of the National Revolutionary Army are now ranked in the top few, resulting in a huge gap in the strength of the vast area of thousands of kilometers from Suiyuan to Xing'an, and a mere 93rd regiment of the National Revolutionary Army can go on a rampage as if entering a no-man's land If it weren't for Fu Zuoyi's Seven and a Half Routes and the Eighth Route Army in the past few years, they didn't pay attention to the Dongmeng grassland Can't send more soldiers, and I don't know what the grassland will look like at the moment (Note 1)

However, no matter what you think in your heart, if you stop Kawada Kuniaki from going to rescue King Toku's lair, at this juncture, Shirakawa Shiro, a combat staff officer, would not dare to say anything about it He can be reused at a young age It is not unrelated to the appreciation of Kenkichi Ueda, an old friend of the Shirakawa family and the former commander of the Kwantung Army who was removed from his post and transferred to the reserve, and now the big backstage is unlucky His plan to be transferred back to the headquarters to take up an important position after a few years of training at the grassroots level has been greatly affected If he is not careful in his words and deeds, he is not sure to be thrown into this poor place where birds don't and eat sand for the rest of his life

"Shirakawa-kun, I've been working with you for more than a year, and I've felt very happy," Shirakawa Shiro has never received practical support Kawada Kuniaki shook his head again, smiled wryly and played the warm card, "This rescue operation, no matter whether it succeeds or fails, my career as a professional soldier should come to an end, but these brothers in the Kawada Brigade are all imperial elites who are loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, I hope you can continue to take care of them for me, please."

After that, he walked quickly to the opposite side of Shirakawa Shiro and bowed deeply to the other party Shirakawa Shiro was taken aback by Kawada Kuniaki's strange behavior, and quickly bowed and returned the salute, "Kawada-kun, please don't do this, things are not so bad that they are so bad, I'll let me think of a way."

Also taken aback were the telegraph operator and the guards looked at each other, quickly exited the headquarters, and then closed the door from the outside It was too terrifying, it was too terrifying, it was too terrifying, and the captain actually bowed to the Shirakawa staff If this is spread.....,., how will the majesty of Chief Kawada be maintained in the future Unless, unless he finds an opportunity to kill all the people who know about it

"It's also wrong to enter, and it's wrong to stay still, what else can I do Shirakawa-kun, I don't want to embarrass you Alas, I'm just just unwilling to be unwilling " Kawada Kuniaki didn't care about the thoughts of the people below and continued to make a decadent appearance Alas, he sighed

"You and I are both soldiers, and even if you know that the Kwantung Army headquarters is not operating properly, you must unconditionally obey all orders," Shirakawa Shiro gritted his teeth and stated his position, and then continued to add, "But before leaving, please allow me to use the commercial frequency band of the radio station to report my whereabouts to the elders of the family Kawada-kun, if you don't mind, you can sign with me at the end of the telegram The elder in the family has always admired you."

"It's Shirakawa....." Kuniaki Kawada was overjoyed and asked loudly, but halfway through his words, he quickly realized his gaffe and decisively swallowed the name into his stomach

"Hmm" Shirakawa Shiro nodded lightly, after all, as the combat staff officer of the Kawada Brigade, if the commander of the team is punished, it will be difficult for him to stay out of the matter, but Kawada Kuniaki must pay a sufficient price, at least take the initiative to express his intention to join the Shirakawa family, otherwise, why should the elders in the family come out and sing against the people of the Kodama family for no reason

And at this moment, Kawada Kuniaki has no choice of power Received Shirakawa Shiro's affirmative hint and immediately loudly expressed his allegiance "I understand Shirakawa-kun, I, Kawada Kunia, am not a person who does not know gratitude, and the virtue of helping hands today will be repaid in the future."

"Powder and the like, there is no need to say it," Shirakawa Shiro waved his hand lightly and said with a smile, "It's just that I ask Kawada-kun to be more careful in the future, I don't know how long this battle will last, the longer it drags on, the more violent the anger in people's hearts, even if you sit at home and don't go out, you are likely to have trouble falling from the sky."

"Yes, yes, I understand, I will be careful with my words and deeds in the future, that is, if I do something badly, I will ask Shirakawa-kun to give me timely guidance," Kawada Kuniaki leaned over again to be taught like a subordinate to a superior

"You've been doing a great job, but in this day and age, a soldier who knows how to fight is not a successful soldier," Shirakawa accepted the other man's bow with peace of mind, and then commented with a smile

Kawada Kuniaki was slightly stunned at first, but then understood the meaning of the other party's words, nodded, and said in a low voice: "I understand, thank you Shirakawa-kun for your admonition, but ...... order to rescue King De's lair this time?"

"The weather has been suddenly cold and warm lately, and I heard that there is a plague epidemic in the neighborhood, and many large animals have fallen, and I don't know if it can be cured in time," Shirakawa Shiro did not pick up his stubble, but turned his eyes to the window of the headquarters, and said something that was completely out of line with the war

"Plague!" Kawada Kuniaki didn't know how many times he was stunned today, blinking his confused eyes, repeating in a low voice, but soon, a flash of light lit up in his head, and then he said loudly: "Yes, we don't have good veterinarians in this place, and we can't buy medicinal herbs that can prevent the plague. The heavy team has already died of many pack horses, which is still relatively unaffected. It is said that in the car dealerships in the city, even the horses that pull the carts cannot be gathered, and many Chinese who drive big cars for a living have had to change their careers."

"Yes, the plague is really not coming at the right time, but as soldiers, we must do our best to carry out the orders despite difficulties," Shirakawa Shiro nodded with satisfaction, putting on a teachable look

"That's natural, how can a soldier of my generation regard orders as child's play, even if he walks with a heavy burden on his back, he must go to Xilin Gol step by step to completely expel the 93rd Regiment from the grassland," Kawada Kuniaki slapped the table and announced with awe

The two men said something inappropriate, and each went to make preparations for the expedition, and it took three whole days just to pack up the dry food and ammunition that the soldiers had with them, and then they cobbled together two and a half squadrons of soldiers, and then brought a group of old, weak, sick and disabled animals to carry supplies for the soldiers, and slowly and leisurely crawled towards Xilin Gol, and every morning and afternoon, they walked 15 kilometers and rested, and when they encountered woods and valleys, they repeatedly reconnoitred to prevent being harassed by "bandits", and every few days, they sent a telegram to the headquarters of the Kwantung Army and the old lair of the King of Germany, saying that they would never dare to live up to the expectations of their superiors and friendly troops If so, I walked for another half a month before I climbed from the Black Stone Village to the Han City, which was still hundreds of miles away from the Beizi Temple

Along the way, the two kept listening to the news of the rescued target through their respective news channels, wishing that the puppet Mongolian Autonomous Army that stayed on the side of Beizimiao would be defeated by the 93rd Regiment as soon as possible, so as to save themselves from continuing to run the wrong way, but to the great disappointment of the two, the puppet Mongolian Autonomous Army, which was originally a first-class fish belly, miraculously withstood the attack of a Class A regiment of the National Revolutionary Army at their own doorstep, and held out for a whole month without any signs of collapse The whole army was wiped out, and the other one, on the way to retreat in a panic, was directly taken by the cavalry of the Blackstone guerrillas, and the squadron leader Yuichi Murata and more than 20 junior officers who were gathering around him at that time all became the ghosts of the guerrillas

"This battle ......." Kawada Kuniaki gasped while reading the telegram If he hadn't guessed in advance the insidious plot of the 93rd Regiment to prepare to encircle the point and send reinforcements, it was his Kawada Brigade that became the meal of the two squadrons at this moment, and it was estimated that it was eaten to the point that there was not even a single scum left, which just met the insidious demands of some people within the Kwantung Army

"There are too many horses that have died of illness along the way, and tomorrow Kawada-kun must stop the procession and take time to personally visit a few local Mongolian nobles and recruit some livestock from them," Shirakawa Shiro and Kawada Kuniaki thought of a shrug and hinted with a wry smile

"Yes, the Mongolian nobles I met along the way are too bad to deal with us with the worst horses, so that we can't march normally at all, alas, they are all the family of His Royal Highness King De, and I can't use forced means to force them to contribute horses Alas, it's really troublesome" Kawada Kuniaki nodded knowingly, with a wry smile on his face

Note 1: The Battle of Normenheim was armistice on September 15, 1939, but the formal signing of the armistice agreement between Japan and the Soviet Union was delayed until June 1940 The scale of this battle was not large, but the blow to the Japanese side was extremely huge 11,958 of the 15,040 men of the 23rd Division who participated in the battle were killed or killed All officers at the rank of wing commander were killed or committed suicide The division commander Komatsubara died of depression a year later, but it led to the withdrawal of both the commander-in-chief and the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army This laid the groundwork for the outbreak of the Pacific War two years later

Note 2: Two mistakes were made in the previous section: the first was to knock Shirakawa Shiro into Shirakawa Jiro, and the second was to knock Shirakawa Shiro into Kodama in the last paragraph
