Chapter 316: The Sorrowful Commander

"Didi Da ...... Click-and-drop ......"

In the silence of sending and receiving telegrams, a second lieutenant communications officer was sitting in front of the transmitter and sending and receiving messages, which was his daily work. Suddenly, his hand shook violently, a look of disbelief appeared in his eyes, and the pencil in his right hand almost fell to the ground.

Then he listened nervously to the signal in the ears of the listener, and his right hand nervously wrote on the telegram manuscript, and after about three minutes, a complete telegram draft came out, and when the wooden coffin of the communications officer swept the telegram again, he could no longer help but stand up and run towards the door, even if the chair behind him was knocked to the ground.

"Knock knock ......"

There was a sharp knock at the door, and then the door was pushed open, and the pale-faced communications officer pushed it open, and before he could see what was going on in the room, he shouted, "Your Excellency, General Ushijima has sent a farewell message." ”

As soon as the words fell, the originally bustling voice in the office immediately quieted down, and four or five pairs of sharp eyes immediately looked at him.

It was only then that the communications officer could see who was sitting in the office, and when he saw clearly, his legs began to tremble.

"Right...... I'm sorry...... Your Excellency, I ...... I ......"

It's no wonder that this communications officer was stupid with fright, but the people sitting in the office at this time were not ordinary people, and the commander of the Eleventh Army, Okamura Ningji, could only sit on the side, and the main one sitting on the main seat was wearing two golden stars on his shoulders. This person was none other than Tada Jun, commander of the Central China Front, and his chief of staff, Major General Ishihara Waner, sat next to him. The chief of staff of the 11th Army, Numata Takasa, and his party packed the small office. The officers below the rank of Dazuo could only stand, how could this little second lieutenant not tremble with fright.

I saw the ensign who turned white with fright. Okamura Ninji endured the unhappiness in his heart, stood up and walked over to him, snatched the draft of the telegram from his hand, and then kicked him out of the room, and then returned to the coffee table and sat down again.

Looking at Okamura Ningji, whose face was sinking like water, Ishihara said softly: "The 36th Brigade is still over, Okamura-kun, after I received your telegram a few days ago, I felt that it was too risky for you to let the 36th Brigade reinforce the 27th Division. Masaharu Honma was not a strong-willed person in the first place. It's good to fight a good fight, but once he is defeated, his incompetent character will be immediately revealed, and now he has made the 36th Brigade suffer. ”

Okamura Ninji sneered: "I gave the order for the 36th Brigade to reinforce the 27th Division. I will take up the responsibility that should be paid, and I will send a complaint to His Majesty the Emperor tomorrow, and even if I am removed from my post as commander and transferred to the reserve service, I will not complain. ”

In Okamura's opinion. Ishihara's words were purely disgusting to himself. Don't you take the risk of watching the 27th Division being surrounded and annihilated? If I had watched the 27th Division be surrounded and annihilated, I am afraid that the gendarmes from the base camp would escort them back to Tokyo the next day.

Looking at Okamura Ningji's unhappy expression, Tada Jun on the side glared at Ishihara Wan'er, this guy is still talking so harshly, didn't you see that Okamura Ningji's face was already as black as the bottom of the pot, and you still teased him like this. But who made Ishihara not only his friend but also his chief of staff, Tada Jun hurriedly played a round.

"Alright...... Okamura-kun, no one wants to see something like this happen. Don't you know this mouth, Ishihara-kun, if you really deal with him, you will lose! ”

Ishihara rolled his eyes. Kwon Tada Jun is farting. But having said that, he cheered up and said to Okamura Ninji: "Okamura-kun." This time, the entire jade shatter of the 36th Brigade will definitely shake the base camp, and the disposal of the base camp should come down soon, it is estimated that this time your position as the commander of the 11th Army will not be able to be kept, and you will be transferred to the reserve, you must be prepared for this. ”

"I've been preparing for this for a long time." Okamura Ninji sighed, "Over the past year or so, the 11th Army has lost troops and generals in my hands, first the 106th Division and the Tank Brigade were all broken, and then Nanchang and Jiujiang were lost, and now even the 36th Brigade is gone. ”

Tada Jun sighed: "Okamura-kun, you are one of the most capable generals I know, but your luck is really bad, and every good thing is bad in the hands of Su Jin and his 202nd Division. ”

"yes!" Expecting that he would be transferred back to his homeland nine times out of ten, Okamura Ninji also let go of his heart and said with a wry smile: "Sometimes I wonder if I am too unlucky, every time I want to do something, this guy will jump out and make trouble, the Battle of Wanjialing is like this, the Battle of Nanchang is like this, and now the Battle of Jiujiang is still like this, is he really sent by God to deal with our Great Japanese Empire?" ”

Ishihara said with a calm face: "This Su Jin has repeatedly opposed the empire, and he is really the great enemy of the empire. Judging by the telegrams of these days, he has now assembled an armored unit, and it is this armored unit that has completely buried Mitsuru Ushijima and his 36th Brigade, and if it is not contained, I dare not imagine what he will become in a while. ”

"But there's nothing we can do with him now." Tada Jun shook his head and said: "According to the combat effectiveness of his troops during this time, it takes at least two divisions to completely annihilate his troops, otherwise don't think about it, but how difficult it is to sit up in this matter." ”

What Tada Jun said is right, after all, Su Jin and the 202nd Division are not wooden people, your army is pressed over, people can't beat them, and people are not allowed to run, Huaxia is so big, you can still keep chasing it, and if you don't get it, you will be turned back and bitten back. Isn't the 36th Brigade the best example of the past?

"Alright, let's not talk about that!" Okamura Ning Ciqiang said with a smile: "It is estimated that the order of the base camp will come down soon, and I will soon be on the mainland, but after returning to the mainland, I will advise the base camp that Su Jin and the 202nd Division must be dealt with as a great enemy." Tada-kun and Ishihara-kun, the two of you are the commanders and chiefs of staff of the Central China Side. Then it's your turn to have a headache, and if the person who succeeds me is a fool like Masaharu Honma, I guess you'll have a hard time in the future. ”

This time, it was Tada's turn and Ishihara's faces turned dark...... (To be continued.) )
