Because of the incident of the young students' decisive death corps, Chairman Chiang's good mood was greatly reduced, but at least from the general level, Chairman Chiang's mood was still good, because the annihilation of the 45th Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army proved one thing, that is, the Anhui Central Advance Brigade was not without the strength of a battle, and the Japanese army gathered one division and another brigade, but it was not easy to take Feicheng in a short period of time and open up the Feiwu Highway.

And this won time for the Nationalist Army to encircle and annihilate the Japanese army to the north.

Chairman Chiang specially recalled Gu Shutong and Wan Xiangyun from the former command this time, mainly to discuss with them about joint command, and Chairman Chiang planned to set up a former enemy command center, with himself personally serving as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, and coordinating the command of the units in the Third and Fifth Theaters.

Therefore, Chairman Chiang's mood is generally good.

In contrast, the commander of the Japanese Central China Front, Shunroku Hatata, was in a much worse mood.

In the war room, according to the battle summary submitted by the Kumamoto Division, Shunroku Hata asked the operational staff officers of the headquarters to realistically restore the scene of the counterattack in the east of the castle on the simulated sand table, looking at the situation before the battle, Shunroku Hata couldn't believe that the Kagoshima Wing would be completely annihilated under such conditions.

Although there are still about two remnants of the infantry squadron left in the Kagoshima Wing, because the Wing Flag was captured by the National Army, there will be only one outcome waiting for these 300 remnants, that is, collective seppuku, and if anyone is unwilling or afraid to cut their stomach, they will wait to be shot by the military police, and then they will be beheaded.

So, Kagoshima United has been effectively wiped out.

However, Shunroku Hata couldn't figure out how Kagoshima was completely wiped out.

Or to put it another way, how can Shunroku Hata not be able to imagine how the Dameishan Independent Regiment did this? Shunroku Hata felt that this was fundamentally contrary to the principles of military science.

It is not surprising that the Kagoshima Wing was annihilated, because once the effective command is lost, no matter how fierce the lion is, it will become a vulnerable sheep, so after Naoto Suzuki's command system was destroyed by the enemy, the defeat of the Kagoshima Wing is completely reasonable, but under the premise of the Japanese army's heavy troops, it is completely inconsistent with normal military logic to gather and annihilate one of the most elite units of the Japanese army with lightning speed.

The Kagoshima Wing that was annihilated was not alone, and the main force of the Kumamoto Division outside the city was stupid?

So, Shunroku Hata couldn't imagine at all, what happened in Hijo at that time?

The newly arrived chief of staff Shozo Kawabe said: "Your Excellency, the Kagoshima Wing was annihilated, and the Wing Commander Naoto Suzuki bears an unshirkable responsibility. ”

Shozo Kawabe had just arrived, and he took over the position of Tsukada Tsukashi.

As for Tsukada, because of his poor performance as chief of staff of the Central China Front, he was not transferred back to China to serve as the president of the Army University, as in history, but like his old boss Matsui Ishone, he was transferred to the reserve and idle, and he could only be accompanied by dogs every day.

In the future, when Japan reaches the end of its rope, it is possible that the two will be transferred to active duty.

Chang Yong retorted: "Riverside-san, you are new to the city, you may not know much about Xu Rui, the opponent, Kagoshima United's total annihilation, I'm afraid it can't be simply attributed to Naoto Suzuki's obstinate behavior, but more should be attributed to Xu Rui, we must admit that Xu Rui once again commanded a classic battle!" ”

"Xu Rui?" Kawabe Shozo said contemptuously, "I have heard the name of this person since I was in Hokpei, and it is said that His Royal Highness Prince Fushimi Palace was under the hands of this person, and several colleagues such as Chiaki Shigeto, Keio Tachibana, Shuichi Hamura, Heiji Kawaguchi, and Anta Winga were also planted in the hands of this person. ”

Chang Yong said: "Since Hebian Sang knows this, he should know that this person should definitely not be underestimated. ”

Kawabe Shozo waved his hand, smiled and asked, "Changsang, do you know what I just thought?" ”

Changyong naturally didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the three gourds by the river, so he frowned and said, "Please also ask the riverside mulberry to inform." ”

Hebe Zhengsan smiled and said: "This Xu Rui reminds me of a classic saying in the "Book of Jin" in Guchina, there is no hero in the world, so the vertical son became famous. ”

"There are no heroes in the world, so the erector became famous?"

Chang Yong was stunned at first when he heard this, and then he was furious.

Hebian Zhengsan's words are clearly ridiculing their Central China Front's operational staff officers are rice buckets, so Xu Rui will be able to succeed on the battlefield again and again, the implication is that if they are replaced by people from the North China Front, or more bluntly, if he Hebian Zhengsan is replaced to deal with Xu Rui, there will never be today.

Chang Yong was furious and said: "Hebian Sang, do you mean that all the people of our Central China Front are rice buckets? ”

"Changsang, this is not what I said, but what you said." Kawabe Shozo smiled, but the expression on his face clearly acquiesced to Changyong's words, and in fact, Kawabe Shozo did mean this, and he was not worried that his words would offend Shunroku Hatata, because Shunroku Hata had just arrived.

"You!" Changyong became more and more angry, and was about to argue with Kawabe Masasa, but asked Shunroku Hata to stop him.

"Alright, don't make any noise." Shunroku Hata impatiently interrupted the argument between Naga-yong and Shozo Kawabe, and said, "Let's talk about this battle and express your opinions." ”

Kawabe Shozo preemptively said: "Your Excellency, the general, I insist that Naoto Suzuki bears unshirkable responsibility for the total annihilation of the Kagoshima Wing, however, there is another phenomenon that must also attract the attention of the imperial army, and I have just learned that this Anhui Central Advance Brigade is said to have been in the army for less than ten days, right?" ”

"Yes." Shunroku Hata said in a deep voice, "The Central Anhui Advance Brigade was just formed seven days ago. ”

Kawabe Shozo said again: "And the officers and soldiers of this Anhui Central Advance Brigade, except for a very small number of veterans, the vast majority of the rest are recruits who have just enlisted, which cannot but arouse the attention of the imperial army, a newly formed army, a group of recruits who have just joined the army for less than ten days, but can actually shake the Kagoshima United on the battlefield such as the first-class main force of the imperial army, what kind of secrets are hidden in it?" ”

"Soga." Shunroku Hatahata nodded approvingly when he heard this.

Chang Yong also nodded subconsciously, he only thought of Xu Rui's strength, but selectively ignored what kind of soldiers Xu Rui had, if the more than 3,000 officers and soldiers of the Anhui Central Advance Brigade were also the same elite soldiers as the Dameishan Independent Regiment, then there was nothing to say, but the problem was that these more than 3,000 officers and soldiers were all recruits!

This can't help but attract attention, how can a group of recruits have such combat effectiveness?

A group of recruits can actually go head-to-head with Kagoshima United, the most elite of the Imperial Army? Not only was it hard to shake head-on, but this group of recruits even wiped out Kagoshima United in a head-on hard shock! If there is no secret that no one knows, don't say that Kawabe Shozo doesn't believe it, even he Changyong resolutely doesn't believe it.

It is clear that something incredible is happening in the National Army.

At that moment, Hata Shunroku said again: "Hebe-san, immediately start to investigate, and find out why the recruits of the Anhui Central Advance Brigade have such combat effectiveness?" ”

Kawabe Shozo smiled and said, "Your Excellency, you don't need to investigate, because I have already investigated clearly. ”

"Nani?" Shunroku Hata was a little surprised and said, "Kawabe-san, have you investigated clearly?" When was the survey conducted? ”

Kawabe Shozo smiled slightly and said: "Just now, when I went to the gendarmerie headquarters as a guest, I happened to hear what Kojima-san was talking about the radio station, and when I asked, I realized that the Dameishan Independent Regiment actually set up a radio station, and broadcast war to the rear every day, combined with the defeat of the Kagoshima United, it can basically be asserted that everything was caused by this radio station!" ”

"Nani, war broadcast?" Shunroku Hata was stunned when he heard this, although the war broadcast of the Dameishan Radio Station had entered the third day, but Shunroku Hata really didn't pay attention to this matter, maybe the commander of the gendarmerie, Ken Kojima, reported to him about the radio station, but it didn't attract his attention.

But now, Shunroku Hata realizes the seriousness of the problem.

At that moment, Shunroku Hahata said loudly: "Quick, turn on the radio!" ”

At that moment, a combat staff officer brought in a radio and turned it on.

Because he had listened to the radio of Dameishan Radio Station, he knew the frequency band, and he adjusted the frequency band of the radio to the broadcast audio band of Dameishan Radio Station.

However, to the disappointment of Shunroku Hatata, the Dameishan Radio Station did not broadcast at the moment.

Shunroku Hata didn't give up, and said in a deep voice: "Kawabe-san, you immediately go to the gendarmerie and ask Kojima-san to sort out all the programs of the Dameishan Radio Station that he has received in the past few days into a document." After saying that, he looked at the time, and Shunroku Hata said, "It's 2:15 p.m., and in half an hour, I'm going to listen to his detailed report." ”

"Hello." The river was in a hurry, turned around and hurried away.

Seeing the figure of Zhengsan by the river go away, Chang Yong whispered: "Your Excellency, will Hebian Sang be a little too alarmist?" Can a mere radio program have such an effect? Can you turn a group of farmers who haven't even touched a gun into brave warriors? Is this possible? ”

"Changsang, haven't you heard a word?" Shunroku Hata said.

Chang Yong was silent, there was no beginning and no end, how did he know what Shunroku Hata was talking about?

"There is a way, rabbits bite even when they are in a hurry! What about farmers? As long as it can arouse their desperate determination, it can also pose a threat to the imperial army! Hata Junroku snorted and said, "Changsang, learn a little harder, although Riverside Sang is a little arrogant, but people also have real skills." ”

"Hello." Chang Yong could only pause honestly.
