Chapter 716: First Division
"What do you mean I shouldn't come!"
Su Jin glanced at Fred with disdain. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"You are a general, the commander of hundreds of thousands of troops of the Third Army, not a divisional commander, such a battle should not be commanded by you personally!"
"But who else do you think can coordinate such a big battle including the army, navy, and air force?" Su Jun spread his hands a little helplessly and with some emotion.
Fred was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he could only shake his head helplessly. Yes, at the moment, the Third Army seems to be a fierce general like a cloud and a war general is like rain, but no one can replace Su Jin's position. Not to mention anything else, just coordinating the army, navy, and air force is not something that any one person can play.
After staying in the Third Army for so long, Fred understood one thing very early, the Third Army was brought out by the person in front of him, and his shadow had long been deeply branded in the bones of this army. From top to bottom, almost all the commanders of the Third Army were pulled out by Su Jin. Although everyone can act according to orders in peacetime battles, but the stakes in this battle are too important, the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Third Army for the first time carried out a joint operation of the army, navy and air force, uniting three forces that are not subordinate to each other on weekdays.
"But can't you command by telegraph in Hangzhou?"
Fred retorted with some reluctance.
"Telegraph command?"
Su Jun sneered. "Fred, are you on your first day in the army? I don't even know such a superficial truth as the military situation is like fire, and when I send the telegram in Hangzhou, I'm afraid even the daylily will be cold! ”
Fred was silent. In fact, why doesn't he understand such a superficial truth? However, he was really worried about Su Jin's safety, and the risk of this counterattack on the northeast was too great. Although Fred did not fight against the Japanese Kwantung Army. However, he had also long heard of the prestige of the Japanese Kwantung Army. The prestige of the Flower of the Imperial Army is not blown. Once the war reached a stalemate or the day himself knew that this battle was personally commanded by Su Jin, these people would definitely rush towards them like madmen. Once Su Jin made any mistake, the seemingly powerful Third Army would collapse in an instant, this was no joke, although it was unbelievable to say, the Third Army knew how important Su Jin was to this collective, which was the reason for Fred's opposition.
"Okay, you don't have to worry, I know it myself."
Su Jin patted his shoulder and comforted.
Fred gave Su Jin a blank look. His meaning is obvious, aren't you fooling me? Bullets don't have eyes on the battlefield. It doesn't go around you because of your rank. However, although there is resentment in his heart, Fred also knows that since the matter has happened, it is useless to say anything, and the only thing he can do is to protect his boss with all his strength on the battlefield. Otherwise, if he makes any mistakes, the entire Third Army will be finished.
It was as if he could see the worry in Fred's eyes. Su Jin smiled and said to him sincerely. "Don't worry, the bullets that can kill me haven't been made by the Japanese yet! By the way, let's talk about your daughter! ”
"What is there for my daughter to talk about?" As soon as he mentioned his own baby, Fred stood up like a male wolf guarding a calf, and the alarm bell began to ring in his heart, this guy didn't have any bad intentions for his daughter!
Looking at the obvious vigilant look in Fred's eyes, Su Jin couldn't help but cry and laugh a little, could he be so much like a pervert?
"Fred, can I ask you a personal question?"
"Your Excellency, if it's a private question, I can refuse to answer, and if it's okay, I'll take my leave." Fred replied coldly, although his boss was the best candidate for a son-in-law, he had three wives, and he must not let his daughter be his fourth woman.
"Don't be so stingy, talk about it!" Su Jin suddenly changed into a hippie smile. "If I'm not mistaken, Adele is 26 years old this year, why doesn't she get a boyfriend? We also have a lot of good guys in Huaxia, for example, Li Wei is not bad, and Huang Weiguo is not bad......" Su Jin, who had the intention to open the topic, chased Fred's footsteps with a hippie smile and pulled up the routine, and the figures of the two people were stretched out in the dim light of the bridge......
The three northeastern provinces were called Manchuria by the Japanese themselves, and the reason why the Japanese government called the three northeastern provinces in this way was also to facilitate its own rule, and in order to rule the northeast in a justifiable manner, the Japanese government even supported Pu Yi, the last emperor, and established the so-called "Manchurian Empire" in the northeast. And Pu Yi, a loser, even took off the last fig leaf in order to become emperor, and in order to get the support of the Japanese, the treaty he signed with the Japanese was simply jaw-dropping. He not only entrusted the maintenance of law and order in Manchukuo and the National Defense Commission to the Japanese army, but also entrusted the management of railways, harbors, waterways, and air routes, as well as all the newly built facilities necessary for national defense, to Japan, and not only that, but he also appointed Nichi himself as the senator of Manchukuo, and even the central and local government offices also appointed Japanese, and these agreements alone basically handed over all the rights of Northeast China to Nichi himself.
In order to become the emperor, even if it is the nominal emperor, Pu Yi gave everything that could be given to the Japanese himself, and this loser was not only not ashamed, but said to the people around him in private, "We have nothing, just sign a few documents and I can become the emperor, who will be so good to us except the Japanese?" "Such a strange thing, except for Pu Yi, it is estimated that no one dares to say this.
Because Pu Yi is so obedient, so that the Japanese himself, who has always been ruthless, also admires him, in order to reward his loyalty to Japan, the Japanese government even invited Pu Yi to visit Japan in April 1935, for which it also sent the "Hiei" battleship and a number of escort ships to Dalian to meet, Pu Yi boarded the Japanese battleship, reviewed the Japanese "Ball Mo" 12th, 15th destroyer fleet, Pu Yi and his entourage arrived in Yokohama, Japan, took the train to Tokyo, Emperor Hirohito personally went to the station to meet. Later, Puyi was accompanied by Chichibu Palace, took the palace carriage, and came to stay in Akasaka Palace when Emperor Hirohito was the crown prince. During his stay in Japan, the Japanese government can be said to have given Pu Yi enough face, which is also one of the reasons why Pu Yi is desperate for the Japanese.
This evening, in the imperial palace of Xinjing (Changchun, Jilin), the capital of the puppet state of Manchukuo, Pu Yi entertained a guest in the reception hall, and this guest was Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Sadachi, chief of staff of the Kwantung Army.
Yoshimoto is about 11.6 meters tall, he is in his forties with a pair of short-sighted glasses, and the whole person looks like Sven, if he doesn't know that he is wearing a lieutenant general's uniform, others will never think that this is a fanatical advocate of the war against China.
Tonight, Pu Yi was wearing a long black horse coat and a melon skin hat on his head, and he looked like an ordinary landlord with morale in the late Qing Dynasty. The reason why he did not wear the dragon robe or military uniform to meet Yoshimoto Sadaichi was mainly to show his closeness to Yoshimoto Sadaichi, and next to the two, there were several generals wearing puppet Manchukuo military uniforms.
I saw Yoshimoto Zhen take a sip of the tea brought by the maid, and after a little hypocritical praise, he said to Pu Yi with a smile: "Your Majesty Xuantong, I came to visit you this time, first, because I haven't listened to your teachings for a long time, and secondly, I came to discuss some things with you on the orders of His Excellency our commander. ”
"Discuss?" Pu Yi looked at Yoshimoto Sadami with some puzzlement after taking a sip of tea, "Please forgive me for being stupid, I really don't know if there is anything I can help with?" ”
Several puppet Manchukuo dignitaries sitting next to Pu Yi also looked at Yoshimoto Sadachi with some consternation, you must know that almost all the lifeblood of the puppet Manchukuo is in the hands of Ri Yi himself, and they really can't think of anything that Ri himself needs Pu Yi to help with.
Seeing the surprised expressions in the eyes of Pu Yi and several puppet Manchukuo dignitaries, Yoshimoto Sadachi himself felt a little embarrassed, only to see him cough lightly and said: "Your Majesty Xuantong, here's the thing, recently our headquarters received information from the headquarters of the China Dispatch Army, saying that the Third Army of the China Government Army may be sending troops to Manchuria in the near future, which is not good for Manchukuo. Commander Umezu Mijiro was very anxious after receiving the news, but at present, since most of the troops of the Imperial Kwantung Army were confronting the Soviets in Outer Mongolia, there was really no way to deploy too many troops to defend the western and southern parts of Manchukuo, so Commander Umezu Mijiro specially planned to mobilize the first army of Manchukuo to deploy in the Mukden area, so he specially sent me to tell you. ”
"You want to mobilize the 1st Army Division to Mukden?" When Pu Yi heard this, a hesitant look appeared on his face.
The army of the puppet Manchukuo is divided into three parts, consisting of three parts: "Manchukuo Army", "Rear Guard", and "Public Order Maintenance", and the army of these three parts is trained and controlled by the Japanese Kwantung Army, and Pu Yi, the emperor of Manchukuo, can directly command only one army division, and the officers of this division are almost all appointed by Pu Yi himself, and it is not an exaggeration to say that this division is Pu Yi's life-saving family background.
Seeing that Pu Yi was a little hesitant, Yoshimoto Sadachi's face sank, and he said dissatisfiedly: "Your Majesty Xuantong, the Great I Japanese Empire is your best friend, can't you meet us with this small request?" ”
"It's not." Pu Yi gritted his teeth and said with some pain: "General Yoshimoto, the task of the first division is very heavy, if the first division is transferred, there will be no troops to guard Xinjing in our country, and if something happens at that time, we will have no way at all." ”
Yoshimoto Sadachi scoffed at Pu Yi's words, and saw his face sink.
"Your Majesty, your safety in Xinjing is guarded by the warriors of our Great Japanese Empire, and you don't have to worry about any threat to your comfort. Besides, the first division of your country has been established for several years, and it should be pulled out to see blood, what kind of man is a man who has not seen blood! Yoshimoto waved his arms as he spoke loudly, trying to make his words more convincing.
At this time, Prime Minister Zhang Haipeng, who was sitting next to Pu Yi, couldn't sit still, you must know that the first division is under his direct jurisdiction, if he is really transferred by the other party, he will become a bare-bones commander, and in a hurry, he suddenly interjected: "But we still have many troops in Manchukuo, such as the second division and the third division, they are also troops that have been trained by the empire for many years, and they can completely replace the first division to suppress bandits." ”
"Hmmm......"
Yoshimoto Sadachi's face immediately began to turn cloudy, only to see him turn around and shout unceremoniously at Zhang Haipeng: "Yaga, what do you know?" Whether the training of the second and third divisions is inferior to that of the first division, if you really want to fight, it would be good if these two troops could protect themselves, and you still want to transfer them to the front line to fight hard with Su Jin's Third Army? ”
Seeing that the Japanese were angry, even if Zhang Haipeng was reluctant, he could only bow his head helplessly to express his silence.
"Okay!"
Seeing that his group of subordinates all lowered their heads and remained silent, what else could Pu Yi say? For him, who relied on the protection of the Japanese to be the emperor, the words of the Japanese were holy decrees, even if he was reluctant, he could only agree, but when he thought that he and a group of Manchu Qing widows, old and young, the first division that had been built by frugality was transferred away by the Japanese himself, he was really distressed. I saw him sigh lightly and say to Yoshimoto Zhen: "Chief of Staff Yoshimoto, the first division is my hard work over the years, please be sure to treat this unit well!" ”
Yoshimoto Zhen nodded with a smile: "This is as it should be, we have always cherished the friends of the empire, you can rest assured, as long as we wait for a period of time after the alarm, we will let the first division be rebuilt." ”
"I hope so." Pu Yi nodded a little sullenly.
Yoshimotozhen, who got Pu Yi's consent, went out satisfied, and Zhang Haipeng lowered his head a little depressed and kept silent. After thinking about it, Pu Yi, who felt more and more unwilling, said directly: "Xiantao, you are the commander of the first division and the prime minister of our Manchukuo, the first division is our can't afford to lose at all, this time you have to go in person and protect this army well, understand?" ”
"Whoop...... Obey the order! Zhang Haipeng stood up and bowed to Pu Yi when the Manchu courtiers met the emperor, but Pu Yi and Zhang Haipeng didn't know at this time that their first division was destined not to return...... (To be continued.) )
