At a restaurant owned by Japanese expatriates in Nanjing, Toshisi Oshihara was sitting cross-legged on tatami mats with Takeo Yamagami and Yuji Abe, drinking alcohol. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Kokahara Toshisi has not had a good time lately.

Since the last time when he failed to hunt Xu Rui with the Eleventh Army and caused Itagaki Seishiro to be seriously injured, the Okahara Brigade has never received any orders, from the new commander of the Central China Dispatch Army, Nishio Shouzo, to the deputy chief of staff of the Dispatch Army, it seems that they have forgotten that there is such a unit as the Okahara Special Operations Brigade.

Of course, the Okahara Special Operations Brigade has actually existed in name only.

Because the entire special operations brigade, including the captain of the brigade, there are only three people left in total, and the battle loss rate is almost more than 98 percent, which far exceeds the various field divisions and regiments on the front line, and it can be said that the record is the worst.

Perhaps, this is the main reason why those generals and staff officers of the command ignored the Oshihara Brigade.

However, Xiaoluyuan Junsi is also full of grievances, the battle losses of their Xiaoluyuan Special Operations Brigade are much larger than those of the front-line field divisions, but who is the opponent of the first-line field division, the opponent of the first-line field division is the national army with weak combat effectiveness, and the opponent of their Xiaoluyuan Brigade is the wolf's tooth army, and the two are not comparable at all.

Yuji Abe drank a glass of stuffy wine and asked Toshimi Oshihara: "Your Excellency, what does the headquarters mean?" Should we abolish the establishment of our special operations brigade, or should we continue to keep it? If we keep it, why are we not allowed to hire again? ”

Xiaoluhara Junsi didn't say anything, just lowered his head and drank the stuffy wine.

Takeo on the mountain, who was sitting in the slanted thorn, said, "Abe-san, why do you care so much? Isn't life good enough right now? I don't have to go to the battlefield to face those devilish enemies, and I have a fixed salary of more than 100 yen every month, and if I feel lonely, I can go to the comfort station to find a woman to repudiate, anyway, I think that such a life is very good, if I can continue to enjoy this life, until the end of the Sino-Japanese War, I will wake up with a smile in my dreams. ”

"Nani?" Yuji Abe was dumbfounded, "Is this the ideal of Yamagami-san?" ”

"Yaga!" When Xiaoluyuan Junsi heard this, he was furious, slammed the wine glass on the low table, and asked loudly, "Shan Shangsan, can you have a little luck?" You can still be considered a soldier, can you still be considered an imperial samurai? ”

"Hello!" Seeing that Kokahara Junsi was angry, Takeo Yamagami quickly knelt down and stood up, and paused, "I have lost my words, please punish Your Excellency Dazuo." ”

The anger on Xiaoluhara Junsi's body suddenly faded like a tide, shook his head and said: "Forget it, I know that these words are not from your own heart, you are also in a depressed mood to say this, and even if you really have such thoughts, it is not strange." ”

Takeo Yamagami and Yu Abe looked at each other, and both of them sensed that Toshimi Oshihara was a little depressed.

Okahara Toshisi took a sip of the sake in the toast and said: "Yamagami-san, Abe-san, don't worry, the current situation will not last too long, tomorrow I will go to His Excellency the General, whether the special operations brigade is withdrawn or retained, there should be a result." ”

After saying that, Kokahara Toshisi called the proprietress of the restaurant over and prepared to settle the bill.

However, at this time, the chief of staff of the Central China Army, Kawabe Shozo, walked into the restaurant with an acquaintance of Okahara Toshizo, and when he saw Kawabe Shozo, Okahara Toshizo and the three of them quickly got up and stood on the tatami mat and bowed to Kawabe Shozo: "Your Excellency General!" ”

Kawabe saluted three times, then took off his military boots and stepped on the tatami mat.

Xiaoluyuan Junsi, who was originally standing in the main seat, quickly gave up the main seat on the left, and asked the riverside Zhengsan to take a seat, and the riverside Zhengsan was not polite, and sat cross-legged on the left side of the main seat, and Xiaoluyuan Junsi turned his eyes to the person who came with the riverside Zhengsan.

This person is Junshi Nakamura, a classmate of Junsi Lu's University at the same time, after graduating from Lu University, Junsi Kokahara was selected to study in Germany, but Junshi Nakamura was directly sent down to the infantry wing, and then went all the way to Shanghai as a military police captain.

Although the two land encounters are different, they have reached the same height, and now they are both in the rank of Dazuo.

"Okahara-san." Nakamura took off his military boots and put on the tatami mat, gave a strong bear hug to Kokahara Toshisi, and then patted Kahara Toshisi on the shoulder and said, "It's good to see you again, I'm really worried that you will be torn to pieces by those devils with wolf fangs." ”

"Thanks to you." Kokahara Toshisi smiled and said, "I probably can't die for the time being." ”

At that moment, the two of them sat down, Okahara Junsi was on the right side, Nakamura Shun was sideways to accompany, as for the original seat Yamagami Takeo and Abe Yuji, there was only a servo standing in front of the tatami mat, and quickly helped the proprietress change the cups and chopsticks of the two.

The proprietress of the restaurant, who still has the charm, changed the cups and chopsticks for Shozo Kawabe and Jun Nakamura, and filled the glasses of the three with wine before bowing and retreating.

Kawabe Shozo didn't rush to drink, and asked Kokahara Junsi, "Kokahara-san, is it okay to rest during this time?" ”

This is talking nonsense with his eyes open, he was obviously hanging Xiaoluyuan Junsi before, but now the riverside is three mouths and one mouth has become a time for him to rest.

Xiaoluyuan Junsi hurriedly paused and said, "Haiyi, I have a very good rest. ”

Kokahara Toshisi can be a big sa, of course he is not a stupid person, and of course he will not demolish Kawabe Shozo.

"Yo Si." Kawabe Shozo nodded happily, and continued, "Okahara-san, since you have almost rested, it is time for you to come out to serve the empire and be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, but you can't hide in the rear anymore." ”

"Hello." There is nothing else to say about Kokahara Junsi, so he can only pause.

Kawabe Shozo did not hide it, but went directly to the main topic, saying: "Regarding whether your special operations brigade should be abolished or retained, the headquarters is very divided, and many people think that the special operations brigade is obviously not the opponent of the wolf's tooth troops, and it is almost the same as not, but it needs to spend a lot of resources, so they resolutely advocate the abolition of the special operations brigade. ”

Xiaoluyuan Junsi's expression darkened when he heard this, but he did not defend himself.

There is really nothing to justify, because in the confrontation with the wolf's tooth troops, their special operations brigade is indeed at an absolute disadvantage, and judging from the situation of several encounters, the two sides are not at the same level at all, whether it is individual combat effectiveness or technical and tactical quality.

The difference between the special operations brigade and the wolf's teeth is not a star and a half, but a gap like a chasm!

"However......" Kawabe Shozo paused, and then said, "There are also some people who believe that it is precisely because of the strength of the Wolf Tooth Force that it is even more necessary to retain the Special Operations Brigade, although the Special Operations Brigade is not the opponent of the Wolf Tooth Force, but it can still conduct the most basic competition, and if it is changed to an ordinary field force, it does not even have a chance to compete!" ”

At this time, Nakamura Jun lost no time in saying: "Okahara-san, this is actually the personal opinion of His Excellency the General, but it belongs to a minority faction in the headquarters, and the vast majority of people agree with the opinion said before, thinking that the special operations team should be abolished." ”

Xiaoluyuan Junsi hurriedly paused and said: "Your Excellency General, the special operations brigade must not be abolished!" In the previous few battles, our special operations brigade did not perform well, or it can be said that it was very bad, but the tactics can be improved, and the combat effectiveness can also be improved through training, but the differences in tactics between the various arms of the armed forces cannot be improved or improved through training, and the special forces can only be restrained by special forces, and the field troops cannot deal with the special forces, and the results can only be worse if they use field forces to deal with the wolf's teeth! ”

"I understand!" Kawabe Shozo nodded, and continued, "I am very aware of this, so I argued with His Excellency the General, and His Excellency finally decided to keep the Special Operations Group, and once again allowed you to recruit from the entire range of the Dispatch Army. ”

"Thank you, Your Excellency, thank you, Your Excellency!" Kokahara Junsi is really grateful this time, because before this, he has even begun to doubt his military future, and he is even more worried about whether he will be directly recalled to the country by the base camp and then transferred to the reserve.

Kawabe Shozo smiled slightly, and then continued: "But Xiaoluhara-san, I came to you today, not only to tell you this good news, but also to ask you for help. ”

"Hello!" Oshihara Junsi suddenly said, "Although His Excellency the General commands, he will do his best to serve His Excellency the General. ”

Hebe Zhengsan nodded, and said: "The base camp has issued an order to mobilize two divisions and a detachment of heavy troops to launch a second sweeping operation against Dameishan. ”

"Hello." Koshihara Junsi suddenly said, "I have heard about it a few days ago. ”

"Yo Si." Kawabe Shozo nodded happily and said, "Then I'll make a long story short, the second sweeping operation against Dameishan is not only about the face of the Central China Army, but also about the face of the empire and the Imperial Japanese Army, so this time we can only win and not lose." ”

"Hello!" Xiaoluyuan Junsi paused again, he knew that there was still something that Kawabe Shozo had not said, that is, the second sweeping operation against Dameishan was more related to his future of Kawabe Shozo, if this sweep ended in failure again, then his future of Kawabe Shozo must be over, and the best result was to transfer to where to be the commander of the garrison brigade.

At this time, Kawabe Shozo knelt down from the tatami mat and sat up, bowed to Kokahara Toshisi, and said solemnly: "So, please help me make a perfect battle plan for Central China, send a military force for Central China, save face for the Imperial Army, and save face for the Japanese Empire!"
