On May 20, 1940, several uninvited guests came to the headquarters of the 23rd Army of the Japanese East China Front in Guangzhou, and after they arrived at the headquarters, they directly broke into the office of Commander Jun Imamura. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Imamura-kun, I'm sorry to disturb me!" One of the generals at the head of the group entered the office and nodded slightly to Jun Imamura, who was sitting behind his desk, but there was no embarrassed expression on his face.

After seeing the visitor, Imamura couldn't help but be shocked, and quickly walked out from behind the desk and saluted the visitor, and said solemnly: "Commander Tada has come from afar and worked hard, and I'm sorry that I can't go out to greet him!" ”

It turned out that the person who came was none other than the commander of the North China Front, General Tada Jun. I saw Tada Jun pointing to several generals beside him and said: "Imamura-kun, let me introduce you, this is my chief of staff Ishihara Wan'er, and this is His Excellency Uhuan Tang, the commander of the third fleet of the Combined Fleet, we came in a hurry this time to be ordered by the base camp to discuss with you." ”

Hearing Tada's unkind words, Imamura's brows furrowed secretly. Although Tada Jun is not his direct boss, but after all, the official of the other family is bigger than himself, no matter what he says, he still has to listen, thinking of this, he nodded without changing his face and said: "Your Excellency Commander, if you have something to say, I will definitely listen to it, now please sit down first." ”

Tada Jun nodded, motioned for everyone to sit down, and when everyone was seated, the logistics soldiers hurriedly served tea to everyone, and then Tada Jun asked Imamura Jun: "Imamura-kun, I heard that your 23rd Army lost the battle again a few days ago, right?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Imamura's face turned dark, this guy really can't talk. It's just that before he could speak, Ishihara Wan'er on the side said on the side: "Imamura-kun, don't worry about it, you don't know Commander Tada's temper, if there is anything to offend, you just have a lot of Haihan." ”

Tada Jun glared at his friend helplessly, looking at what this guy said, as if he was very good at talking, if he hadn't offended that Tojo senior soldier, you, the dignified chief of staff of the Far Kwantung Military Government, would not have been assigned to the North China Front to be a pair of difficult brothers and sisters with me.

Imamura didn't pay attention to the eyebrows of this pair of good "friends", but turned his eyes to Rear Admiral Yu Huan Wrap who was wearing a dark blue navy suit on the side, although he didn't speak, but his meaning was also obvious, what is this guy here for?

Seeing Imamura-kun's gaze, Tada Jun explained on the side: "Imamura-kun, this time we came here on the orders of the base camp to carry out a plan, and this plan requires the cooperation of our army and navy, so this time Uhuan-kun is also a participant, I hope you can forgive me!" ”

Imamura Jun nodded in understanding, "Your Excellency Tada, please speak, I'll listen to you!" ”

Tada Jun looked at Ishihara Waner on the side and motioned to him, Ishihara Waner did not speak immediately, but took a sip of the teacup and praised: "Yo Xi, great tea, I didn't expect Imamura-kun to hide such a good tea leaf, I don't know if you can give me some." ”

Hearing this, several people, including Yu Huantang, couldn't help crying and laughing, this Ishihara Wan'er's temper was really as different as rumored, and at this time he didn't forget to ask for tea.

Even Tada Jun couldn't stand it anymore, and just as he wanted to speak, Ishihara Wan'er also realized that he seemed to be about to be angry again, and hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, let's get down to business first!" ”

After speaking, Ishihara said to Imamura-kun: "Imamura-kun, let's get straight to the point." You must also know that Su Jin and his Third Army will be transferred to France next month, and the base camp's attitude towards this is clear, and Prince Zairen has made it clear that he must not let Su Jin, the executioner stained with the blood of the warriors of the Great Japanese Empire, and his Third Army leave China for France alive, and hand over this task to our North China Front to solve, and ask the rest of the departments to cooperate closely to achieve this goal. ”

"Eliminate Su Jin and his Third Army?" Rao is arrival in Imamura's position today can't help but roll his eyes, if Su Jin is so easy to eliminate, there will not be so many generals in his hands.

Seeing the white eyes of Jun Imamura, Ishihara couldn't help but smile and said, "Imamura-kun, your expression now is very similar to when I first heard this order." However, since the base camp has issued this order, we should naturally carry it out, and we have also formulated a detailed plan, but this plan still needs the cooperation of your 23rd Army, so please worry about it. ”

Imamura Jun sighed: "Since the base camp has issued an order, I will naturally carry it out, but with all due respect, it is not easy to annihilate Su Jin and his Third Army, the current Third Army has developed into a behemoth, and if you want to destroy it, you need to mobilize at least hundreds of thousands of troops to have a little hope, but does the current empire have so many troops to attack us?" ”

Ishihara Wan'er smiled: "You don't have to worry about this, Imamura-kun, we are naturally making detailed preparations when we say this, didn't you see that we invited Yuhuan-kun here?" ”

"Do it at sea?" Imamura Jun was slightly startled at first, and then nodded again and again: "Yo Xi, this idea of the base camp is very good, although the Third Army is very brave on land, but when it comes to the sea, they are a group of landlubbers, as long as our navy dispatches a fleet, they can be easily annihilated at sea." But I don't understand, if that's the case, then what can our 23rd Army help? ”

"No...... Of course, you and the 23rd Army can help, and they can help a lot. Ishihara said loudly, "According to intelligence, although Su Jin's Third Army only has five infantry divisions, a chariot division, and air defense brigades, heavy artillery brigades and other units in name, in fact, Su Jin also expanded two national militia divisions in the name of the militia when it was expanded. Your task is to command the army with lightning speed as soon as Su Jin leaves, and bring Zhejiang back into the arms of the empire! ”

"What about you, what are the North China Front doing?" Imamura looked at Ishihara Waner suspiciously, this guy just talked about others, what about themselves?

Ishihara said lightly: "We...... Of course, we also have tasks, and our task is to make every effort to stop the Chinese Army in the Third and Ninth Theaters in Anhui and Jiangxi, and prevent them from taking advantage of the situation to enter Zhejiang, do you understand? (To be continued.) )
