Chapter 357: Seishiro Itagaki!
Sasaki is deeply aware of the danger and cruelty of the battlefield.
Although the battlefield and the army are a field that needs to be contested, the more you fight, the more dangerous it will be, which means that you are likely to die faster.
And as a person who is easily satisfied, Sasaki Gozo does not deliberately pursue these opportunities, in his opinion, everything is fate.
What should be your own, is your own!
It shouldn't be your own, and you can't grab it! Even if it is because of your active competition, you may have temporarily gained some fame, fortune and high-ranking officials that you think, but there is no way for good and evil, but people call themselves.
As you gain power, hidden calamities and calamities are already lurking around you.
Sasaki's family is also a small family in the local area, and it also has some influence in the army, so in this case, he doesn't need to fight for these things at all, he just needs to go down step by step, gild in the army, and obtain some combat merits, which can be promoted.
When the qualifications and prestige are sufficient, he will inherit the family business in his homeland.
That's what Sasaki Gozo intended.
People must always learn to be satisfied.
Seeing Sasaki Gozo's expression, his chief of staff couldn't help but nodded, with a look of appreciation on his face.
This chief of staff was originally just a person with no qualifications and background, but because of his military exploits, he rose through the ranks and became the chief of staff of a wing.
But after this step, if you want to continue to be promoted, or if you don't want to be trampled under the feet of the people behind you, you must find a backer. And Sasaki and his family were his chosen targets.
Although the strength of Sasaki Gozo's family is not very strong, it is rare that Sasaki Gozo's mentality is very good, and if you follow such a person, at least you don't have to worry about dying on the battlefield in the future, and you don't have to worry about being made a scapegoat in a daze.
He is also a person who is easy to satisfy, so following Sasaki Wusan, the two have a good personality, and soon become a friend who knows everything, and he naturally became Sasaki Wusan's confidant.
After the two discussed, they quickly passed the news to the division headquarters of the Fifth Division, and then patiently waited for the division's reply.
Linyi
The headquarters of the 5th Division of the Japanese Army
The Fifth Division was one of the first seven divisions of the Japanese army, and it was also one of the seventeen standing divisions before the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War.
The Fifth Division once set a record of playing against more than 70 divisions on the battlefield in China, and was known as the 'Steel Army' among the Japanese army.
He had participated in the Sino-Japanese First Sino-Japanese War, and later after the establishment of the army in RB, he used modern tactics for the first time, and defeated a Qing army that was still part of the Manchu Qing period at Chenghuan, and the battle lasted for a day and a night, and finally ended with the defeat of the Qing army and retreat to Asan.
This encounter was also highly valued by the Japanese army, and even in the entire history of the war, it is worth recording!
And the Fifth Division also succeeded in making a name for itself by defeating the Qing army!
Later, the 5th Division participated in the Battle of Crossing the Yalu River, the Battle of Niuzhuang, and even the Russo-Japanese War ten years later, until it sent troops to Siberia in 1919.
In 1937, after the outbreak of the 77 Incident, the 5th Division was transferred to fight in North China under the leadership of Seishiro Itagaki, and later participated in the Nankou operation as a reserve, and then transferred to Shanghai, participated in the Jinshanwei landing, participated in the Battle of Pingxingguan in late September, participated in the Battle of Xinkou in October, and captured Taiyuan in November.
After that, he participated in the Battle of Songhu, and also sent a unit to participate in the attack on Nanjing, and the Fifth Division of the Nanjing Massacre also participated.
After the 77 Incident, the 5th Division, under the leadership of the division commander Itagaki Seishiro, moved to the Central Plains, defeated and defeated more than 30 divisions along the way, and created the 'prestige' of the Itagaki Division.
It can be said that the Fifth Division, especially the Fifth Division under the leadership of Seishiro Itagaki has created a lot of slaughter on the land of the Republic of China, and in their hands, it has been stained with the blood of countless innocent Chinese people.
As for the Fifth Division and Itagaki Seishiro, I don't know how many people are secretly scolding them, wishing that they would die without a place to be buried, and even many family members who were tragically killed by the Fifth Division were eager to eat their flesh and drink their blood raw.
However, it was such a big villain who was hated by everyone, but at this time he was in the headquarters of his Fifth Division, facing the map, with a frown on his face, as if he had encountered a problem.
The man looked to be about thirty or forty years old, with some beard under his nose, and a stern face, and at first glance there was a sense of non-anger and self-authority.
And he was wearing the general uniform of the Japanese Army, and on the collar, two shining stars were shining under the sun.
The general's sword, which was used as an ornament for officers, was placed on the table by him at this time, and it was an unusually luxurious general's command knife, and if you looked closely, you could see the symbol of the Japanese army.
This is the Royal Gift Sword of the RB Royal Family!
Although there are many people in the military circles of the Japanese army who can obtain the Emperor's Imperial Sword, and even in the army university in RB, the outstanding graduates of each term can obtain it, but that is different!
In the RB military world, these imperial swords are personally rewarded by the RB Emperor to those who have made great contributions! It can be so rare! Even the division commander of the First Rank Division Regiment, not many people are eligible to obtain the Imperial Treasure Sword!
What can be owned, is even rarer!
And in the Fifth Division, there is only one person who can have such an Imperial Treasure Knife!
And that person is the division commander of the 5th Division, RB Army Lieutenant General, Seishiro Itagaki!
Seeing Itagaki Seishiro frowning and pondering, the people in the entire command subconsciously reduced their movements, and even the sound of footsteps and breathing involuntarily lightened a little.
These staff officers and officers in the command headquarters all looked at Itagaki Seishiro with a look of admiration and admiration.
Seishiro Itagaki has a high prestige in the Fifth Division!
From high-ranking officers to ordinary soldiers, they were all impressed by Seishiro Itagaki and deeply admired this person!
After all, this is the kind of person who led their Fifth Division to the Central Plains of China, defeated countless troops along the way, and gave them the title of 'Steel Army' for their Fifth Division.
This also makes the people of the Fifth Division a little honored!
And Seishiro Itagaki, who brought all this glory, is naturally deeply admired and respected by them!
The entire command was plunged into a quiet space, but the silence did not last long.
As a footstep sounded, a voice also reached Itagaki Seishiro's ears: "Your Excellency the Division Commander, Your Excellency Sasaki of the 11th Wing is calling!" ”
