In the headquarters of the 23rd Army, more than 20 staff officers were busy with their own affairs, but they were busy and busy, and the entire war room was very quiet, except for the ticking sound of a few telegraph operators who were responsible for sending and receiving telegrams when they pressed the buttons when sending and receiving telegrams.

This is not to say that the quality of Japanese officers has really reached such a high level, in fact, every war room in the world is filled with the roaring and scolding of officers and the busy figures of staff officers in wartime. The reason why the war room of the 23rd Army Headquarters was so quiet was only because Commander Tanaka Kuichi received a telegram that made him angry, and the staff officers of the headquarters were afraid of angering their own commanders, so they turned into gentlemen one by one.

"Has the news been confirmed?" Tanaka Kuichi's face sank like the bottom of a pot at this time.

"Yes, Your Excellency Commander, the news has been confirmed, and it has been personally verified with the commander of the 92nd Brigade, Yuma Shinohara." Takao Murata lowered his head and replied in a low voice.

"Bastard, why didn't I get this idiot court-martialed sooner?" Kuichi Tanaka's hand was tightly gripping the hilt of the knife, and he swore that if Yuma Shinohara stood in front of him now, he would definitely draw his knife and split this guy in half.

Looking at Kuichi Tanaka, who was holding back his anger, Takashi Murata could understand his anger, this Yuma Shinohara was already a repeat offender, and he lost the city and land again and again, first Jingdezhen, and now even Hengzhou was lost by him, not to mention that this crime was sent to a military court, I'm afraid it would be enough to shoot him directly. Moreover, the loss of Hengzhou also means that the retreat route of the 60th and 61st divisions, which are still struggling to defend Kaihua and Jiangshan, to Hengzhou will be cut off, and if the 347th Division takes the opportunity to block the road to the south and north like this. These two divisions and regiments have become turtles in the urn, and the thought of losing two divisions and regiments at once Murata Takashi shuddered in his heart, this responsibility is too great. It's so big that even the Commander can't bear it.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, if Hengzhou is lost, we must hurry up and get ready, otherwise it will be too late!" ”

Tanaka Jiuichi kept his face calm and did not speak, he understood what his chief of staff meant, once there was really a matter of two divisions being surrounded and annihilated, he would not have to do it as a commander. Going home directly and returning to China and transferring to the reserve is already the only ending for his own family.

Thinking of this, Tanaka Jiuichi felt a sense of weakness in his heart, and at the same time, he also felt a strong hatred for Su Jin in his heart. It's good that you scourge the 11th Army in Jiujiang, why did you come to Zhejiang to toss me, is it because you see that I am easy to bully?

Slowly stood up and paced back and forth in the office. When he walked over to the window and pushed it open. A strong aroma of osmanthus came from the window, making the whole person feel fresh.

Looking at the lush osmanthus flowers hanging from the osmanthus trees outside, Tanaka closed his eyes for a long time, smelling the rich fragrance of osmanthus flowers, and felt much more comfortable after a long time, he turned his head and said to Murata Takasheng: "You immediately send a report to the 60th and 61st divisions, ordering them to break through in the direction of Huangshan and Longquan respectively." Then ......"

At this point, Kuichi Tanaka paused. As if he had made up his mind, he continued: "You will send a report to the 103rd and the 8th and 13th Independent Infantry Brigades in Guangzhou. Let them come to Zhejiang immediately. ”

"Your Excellency, Commander!" Takashi Murata couldn't help but be shocked, and looked at him in surprise: "If this is the case, then the empire's troops in Guangdong will only be 1041 divisions, in case that army takes the opportunity to counterattack, what can we resist?" ”

"What are you afraid of?" Tanaka said in a deep voice: "Isn't there still an independent mixed 23rd Brigade, 129th, and 130th Divisions in Fujian?" Let's just transfer another division to Guangzhou, what are you worried about? Besides, after a while, the Fifth Division of the Empire will enter Guangxi, and when they can protect themselves, they should snicker, where will they have the energy to come to us for trouble? ”

Tanaka Kuichi was right, after occupying Guangdong, Zhejiang, Fujian, Shandong, Jiangsu and other coastal provinces, the Japanese monarch's base camp finally set its sights on Guangxi, a province with a small outlet to the sea, and prepared to send the most elite mobile Fifth Division to attack Guangxi. Under such circumstances, Guangxi is still too late to protect itself, so naturally it does not dare to peep into Guangdong, and as for the Ninth Theater of Operations, which occupies Hunan and Jiangxi, Tanaka Kuichi is even less worried, and with the 11 th Army watching from the sidelines, they dare not act rashly.

After the decision was made, the 23rd Army began to act, but Tanaka Kuichi's heart was still in turmoil, these days in the face of the 37th Division's fierce offensive, the 23rd Army can only be defeated and retreated, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as losing the city and losing the land, his own commander is the first person responsible, if the base camp is held accountable, he will not be able to escape no matter what.

Tanaka Kuichi spent several days in a nervous mood, but what he didn't expect was that the base camp just sent him a telegram of admonition and there was no follow-up, which made him stunned after worrying for a long time, but this is not surprising, because during this time, another major event that shocked the world has attracted the attention of the whole world, that is, Poland was destroyed by Germany.

"Poland is still finished!"

In a courtyard, Su Jin looked at the news written in the newspaper that Poland was destroyed by the Germans, and smiled so much that he couldn't see his eyes, and he could see that our chief Su was very satisfied, and the generals sitting next to him looked at Su Jin, who was in a mood, with a puzzled look in their eyes.

Su Jin was in a good mood today, and specially called Zhou Yusheng, Li Wei, Zhang Danian and the old subordinates who came out of Erlong Mountain to drink together, this banquet was run by Zhang Wanniang, Xiaoyu and Mi Xiaoya, and all kinds of dishes were placed on a table, which can be described as sumptuous.

Looking at Su Jin, who was shaking his head, everyone couldn't help but be very puzzled, they could see that the reason why Su Jin was so happy today was not because Huang Weiguo's 347th Division occupied Kaihua, Jiangshan and Hengzhou, nor did it annihilate more than 10,000 puppet troops for more than 10,000 days, but for the end of the Polish battle that was thousands of miles away.

Li Wei asked directly: "Junzuo, the Germans occupied Poland, but what does that matter to us, why are you happy to be like this?" ”

Squinting at Li Wei, Su Jin, who was already a little drunk, grinned and said, "Weizi, you don't understand!" Poland's should have been finished a long time ago, and this time it was destroyed by the Germans, which is a great thing, and it is worth my treat for this! ”

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other, and they really didn't understand what kind of enmity their boss had with the Poles. When he heard that the people were destroyed, he was so happy that he even invited everyone to drink.

In fact, they didn't understand Su Jin's mood in his heart, and anyone who knew a little bit about the country of Poland would hate him very much.

In other words, if there is such a country, he will always stand on the opposite side of history, and every time he chooses the wrong side and stands on the wrong team, known as the stepping cloth of Europe, it is Poland.

There is a joke that when God created the Poles, there was no water, so God used a little snot to stick to them, so the Poles smelled disgusting all over their bodies.

The strangest thing is that this is perhaps one of the strangest super-anti-Chinese countries in the world, and it is strange to look at what Poland did at the Paris Peace Conference in 1919.

Su Jin was fortunate to have read "Gu Weijun's Memoirs", and his contempt for the Polish government was also overwhelming.

At the Paris Peace Conference in 1919, when Japan wanted to legitimize Shandong's rights and interests that had been looted during World War I, Gu Weijun fought impassionedly at the meeting, and various small and medium-sized countries expressed sympathy for China in public or private. Britain, the United States, France, and Italy also had scruples for a while. Only one country in which a representative openly jumped out and made a speech in support of Japan's claim to Shandong, and that country was Poland. It wasn't until Gu Weijun wrote his memoirs in his later years that he made it clear that he couldn't figure out why Poland, which had nothing to do with China and Japan, did this after thinking about it for more than ten years.

After all, Poland has had no grievances with China since ancient times, but I don't know how to do it, whether it is the Beiyang government era or the Republic of China government, Poland always likes to get along with China, and Poland has always stood on the opposite side of China in history. Even in the 21st century, when China held the Beijing Olympic Games, the Polish Prime Minister jumped out and announced that he would not participate in the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games and would meet **** instead, so for this point, even if the Poles died, Su Jin would not shed a tear for it.

Well, if Poland is just going against China, it's not enough to prove that he's brainless, in fact, Poland has also reached the point of being annoyed in Europe.

To paraphrase a famous saying, it is - the big Bobo (Poland) is the footcloth, whether it is Hans (Germany) or Ivan (Russia), you have to step on it when you go out.

Why?

The point is that the country is too ridiculous to position itself. The country is small but not humble, the strength is small but not afraid of the strong, the rude and insults the neighbors, and the greedy and clumsy friends can die.

And the Poles are purely typical two-hundred-and-five, without any political foresight. Just look at his geographical location, it is already sandwiched between two aggressive powers, one Russia and one Germany, which is not easy, and if you change others, you will either be neutral or desperately hug the thigh of another country. But Poland does not, always thinks that it is very good, very strong, in history Germany is weak and it bullies Germany, Russia is weak and it bullies Russia, and the final result is that Germany or Russia in the heyday of the strong period is destroyed every once in a while. Counting Poland's luck is that it has not yet encountered a time in history when Germany and Russia were strong at the same time, otherwise if you do a 3P together, Poland's small physique is estimated to completely disappear from the earth.

Poland was destroyed, and Su Jin's joy couldn't be said to others, so he gathered a group of old subordinates to drink together today. (To be continued.) )
