On the misty river, three gunboats flying the Rising Sun Flag were cleaving the waves and speeding forward. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In the cabin of one of the gunboats, Okahara Toshisi was closing his eyes to recuperate, and on the left and right of Okahara Toshisi, there were more than a dozen special forces such as Igarashi Cui and Yamagami Takeo sitting in two rows, these dozen special forces were the last battle of Dameishan, who escaped from the wolf's tooth, and they were also the only dozen or so members of the entire special operations brigade.

"Ang ......" There was a long whistle outside the cabin, and Xiao Luyuan, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, opened his eyes.

Takeo Yamagami, who was sitting on the left hand side of Oshihara, followed and opened his eyes and asked, "Captain, I heard that you sent a telegram to the base camp?" Is it related to Ninja Village? ”

Kokahara Junsi nodded and said: "I originally wanted to wait for Xu Rui's assassination plan to be foiled, and then go back to China, but who would have thought that in the end, Xu Rui actually shook a shot and pointed the spearhead of the assassination at Commander Okamura, right now, not only Commander Okamura was broken, but even His Excellency the General died of grief, I am afraid that I will not have time to return to China in a short time, so I can only pin my hope on those bureaucrats in the base camp, I hope they can lower their posture and invite the ninjas out of the mountain." ”

Takeo Yamagami said: "Those bureaucrats in the base camp are afraid that they can't count on it, so it's good if they don't help." ”

In any country and in any period, bureaucracy and corruption are all lingering and stubborn diseases, and it is said that in the United States, which was cited as a beacon country by many public elites in later generations, the same bureaucracy prevails and corruption is rampant, and the only difference is that bribery and bribery in the United States are protected by law and legalized, and it is called political donations.

During World War II, small Japan was not only rampant in corruption, but also had a very serious bureaucracy.

For example, the Japanese Admiralty has been controlled by the Satsuma department for a long time, and the War Department has been controlled by the Choshu department for a long time.

Although the Showa warlord clique has Hirohito's backing, after all, it has just entered the center of power, and it is still very difficult to control military power, and it will take a longer time to eliminate the bureaucratic habits in the army, so at this stage, the work efficiency of the Japanese Navy and the War Department is actually very low, and unfortunately, the work efficiency of the Nationalist Government is even lower.

Oshihara replied to the question: "Commander of the gendarmerie stationed in Jiujiang, Rio Yoshino, do you know him?" ”

Takeo Yamagami shook his head and said, "The last time His Excellency the General arrived and held a welcome dinner, there was a one-sided relationship, but he didn't pay much attention to me, and he seemed to be a very difficult figure to approach. ”

The corners of Oshihara's mouth hooked, and he said, "The Yoshino family is a noble family, which is no wonder. ”

Takeo Yamagami said abruptly: "The Oshihara family is more prominent than the Yoshinoya family, and you are not as proud as him, captain." ”

"I've never thought that being from a family is something to be proud of, and I certainly don't think it's a shame." Kokahara smiled faintly and said, "Yamagami-san, you may not know that Yoshinoya actually has a deep connection with several ninja villages in Mt. Iido, and even ......."

Takeo Yamagami asked in a low voice, "Or even what?" ”

Oshihara said, "I've even heard that an elder of the Yoshino family is at Mt. Iido. ”

"Nani?" Takeo Yamagami was surprised and said, "There is an elder in the Yoshino family who is a ninja?" ”

"There's nothing strange about this, in fact, many families in the empire have overt or covert ties to the ninja villages of Koga and Iga, including our Ojihara family." Xiao Luyuan sighed lightly, and continued, "This time, the eldest and second sons of the Yoshino family died in Jiujiang and died in the hands of the wolf's fang, if nothing else, the Yoshino family should be very angry, and they should also invite their elders who are cultivating in the Rice Road Mountain." ”

"Yo Si." Takeo Yamagami said happily, "In this way, there is really a chance to invite a ninja." ”

While speaking, a sailor hurried in and reported to Xiaoluyuan Dunshou: "Sir, Anqing Wharf has arrived." ”

Oshihara Junsi immediately stood up, looked around at the mountain Takeo, Igarashi Tsui and more than a dozen other special forces and said: "Let's go, go and meet the newly arrived Commander Itagaki, this person is a legendary figure, not to mention his achievements in the Shanxi battlefield, just because he dared to parachute unguided in rainy weather, I admire him!" ”

In the waiting hall of Anqing Wharf, Seishiro Itagaki suddenly sneezed twice loudly.

The captain of the Anqing military police, Takashi Kodera, hurriedly stepped forward with a cloak and persuaded: "Your Excellency Commander, please put on a cloak to avoid catching a cold." ”

"I don't need to." Itagaki Seishiro waved his hand.

Unlike Shunroku Hata, a sick man, Seishiro Itagaki is very strong.

Kotera Takashi had no choice but to hand over the cloak to the logistics soldiers and take it down.

Itagaki Seishiro said again: "Kotera-san, I don't have anything to do here, you can get busy." ”

"Hello." Takashi Kotera paused heavily, but the soles of his feet did not move, speaking from his heart, Takashi Kodera has a lot of things to do, but he still wants to stay in front of Seishiro Itagaki as much as possible, this is not to brush his presence in front of Itagaki, purely because he worships Itagaki and really worships it.

Takashi Kodera refused to leave, but Seishiro Itagaki did not force him to go.

After a while, Takashi Kodera couldn't help but say, "Your Excellency, from the perspective of time, at this time, the 3rd, 101st, 17th, 106th, and 116th Divisions, as well as the Hatian Detachment, should have already launched an attack on the enemy in front of them, right?" And then the Second Army, it should also attack from the northern foot of Dabie Mountain, right? ”

Seishiro Itagaki nodded and said, "If there is no large-scale radio failure, it should be like this, right?" ”

Takashi Kodera took a breath and continued, "Your Excellency the Commander really doesn't worry about the 3rd and 101st Divisions? You have also read the report just now, Xue Yue's first corps has captured Gao'an, and the Hunan and Jiangxi highways have been completely cut off, so this is definitely an adventure of nine deaths! ”

"Nine deaths?" Seishiro Itagaki smiled slightly, changed the subject and said, "Kotera-san, I don't know if you have ever heard of an old Chinese saying, which is called putting oneself to death and then rebirth?" ”

"Death and resurrection?"

The noble history of the small temple was awe-inspiring.

Wuhan, the headquarters of the National Army.

Surrounded by more than a dozen high-ranking staff, Chairman Jiang walked into the command hall in high spirits.

Although he hadn't slept for a long time, Chairman Chiang's complexion today looked pretty good, as the saying goes, people are in good spirits on happy occasions, and Chairman Chiang has encountered happy events, because just now, Xue Yue's corps sent back news from the front line that they had successfully recovered Gao'an County and completely cut off the Hunan and Jiangxi highways.

Seeing Chairman Jiang walking in, He Yingqin, Bai Chongxi and other senior generals hurriedly stood upright.

"Respect, Jiansheng, and all colleagues, you don't have to be so restrained." Chairman Jiang was in a good mood, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face, waving his hand and saying, "It's all casual, just because I didn't come." ”

Chairman Chiang was in a good mood, and the atmosphere in the entire command hall immediately became relaxed.

In the midst of laughter, Chairman Jiang walked to the big map and said to the map: "Jiansheng, tell me about it." ”

Because of Li Zongren's illness, Bai Chongxi is now not only the deputy chief of general staff of the Ministry of National Defense, but also the commander-in-chief of the Fifth Theater, and Bai Chongxi is also a military theorist second only to Jiang Baili in the camp of the Nationalist Army.

In the minds of many high-ranking generals of the Central Military System, such as He Yingqin and Chen Cheng, it can be described as a beautiful difference in introducing the war situation to Chairman Chiang in person, but Bai Chongxi is not interested in this, although Bai Chongxi is known as Xiao Zhuge and has excellent wisdom, but his strategic vision is still lacking, especially he cannot jump out of the deep-rooted regional concept, he has always regarded himself as a warlord of the Gui family, and has always had a deep prejudice against the Central Army and Chairman Chiang.

However, Chairman Jiang named him, and Bai Chongxi couldn't give him no face at all.

At that moment, Bai Chongxi picked up the wooden pole, pointed to the map on the wall and explained: "Please take a look, this is Gao'an City, after Xue Yue's corps recovered Gao'an, not only was the 27th Division of the Japanese Army cut in two by our army, but the Hunan and Jiangxi Highway, which is no less than a lifeline for Little Japan, has also been cut off by our army. ”

"What does that mean?" Chairman Chiang had actually heard the answer a long time ago, but he never got tired of hearing it.

Bai Chongxi was disdainful in his heart, but he remained silent on the surface, and said: "This means that the third division and the 101st division of the Hunan battlefield have become lone troops, as long as Jiujiang is not lost, as long as the Hunan and Jiangxi highways are not opened, the 3rd and 101st divisions of the Japanese army are turtles in the urn, and it is impossible to escape!" ”

Chairman Jiang asked again: "So can Jiujiang be held?" ”

Bai Chongxi said: "Referring to the defense of Feicheng, I think that Jiujiang will not be lost in at least ten days!" ”

"If the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army holds Jiujiang for at least ten days, it will take at least twenty days to wait for the Japanese army to take Jiujiang, and then open up the Hunan and Jiangxi highways, and then transport the materials to Hunan!" Chairman Chiang clenched his fists and said, "In 20 days, will we be able to eat the 3rd Division and the 101st Division of the Japanese Army?" ”

Bai Chongxi said: "There should be no problem. ”

This answer was somewhat unexpected by Chairman Chiang, but it made him even more excited.

Chairman Jiang sighed and asked with great interest, "Why is Jiansheng so sure?" ”

Bai Chongxi said: "Because it is expected that the 3rd and 101st Divisions of the Japanese Army will definitely return to Jiangxi, and cooperate with the 27th Division to open up the Hunan and Jiangxi Highway, unfortunately, this will not only have no effect, but will accelerate the defeat of the 3rd and 101st Divisions, in short, the two divisions of the Japanese army are finished!"
