Chapter 1087 Defending Honor (2)

Kenji Dohihara stared at Takashi Sakai calmly: "Sakai-kun, do you remember Major General Koichi Ishikawa?" ”

The Japanese generals were taken aback, and then discussed in a low voice, Koichi Ishikawa's experience is well known, thinking of the promotion of major general obtained by this young general from the imperial family in the hospital bed, and also thinking of the tragic losses of the Kwantung Army in the fierce battle in Liaoxi, they successively understood what Kenji Dohihara wanted to express. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Kenji Dohihara saw Takashi Sakai bow his head thoughtfully, shook his head and smiled, still in his deep and peaceful voice, and continued:

"As we all know, Ishikawa-kun was injured by the plane of the An Jiajun, compared with that year, now the air force of the An Jiajun is several times stronger, with more than 100 fighters, and there are many retired instructors of the air forces of Germany, the United States and the United Kingdom, France and other countries, with more rich combat experience, last year's Sino-Burmese border conflict, this air force brought a nightmare to the British team, blowing up the largest and most important Lashio airport in northern Myanmar, and it was completely destroyed and destroyed.

"Gentlemen, the reason why I say this is not because I am afraid of any army, but because I want to remind you that there are many signs that the air force of the Anjia Army is actively preparing and may fly to North China at any time to participate in the war, and they have perfect airfields and logistical support, and under the present circumstances, with only two brigades of the Tianjin garrison and one marine brigade of the navy, they will not be able to fight hard with the strong and strongly supported 17th Army.

"The senseless sacrifice is very stupid, and in addition to the fact that the criticism and criticism of the Kwantung Army and the Tianjin garrison army in China are increasing unabated, and the strategy proposed by the Ministry of War to consolidate Manchuria and postpone the southward movement has been approved by the majority of military and political officials, including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, therefore, our established policy of 'military intimidation and diplomatic oppression' cannot be changed, and the military exercises originally scheduled to be held between Tianjin and Cangzhou should also be carefully reconsidered."

Takashi Sakai's gloomy gaze stared at Kenji Dohihara for a long time, and he asked angrily, "What about the Kwantung Army?" The Kwantung Army command also agrees with your attitude? ”

Kenji Dohihara was unmoved, and nodded slightly: "That's right! Sakai-kun, don't forget that the Kwantung Army's operational direction this year is the Recha region, and through the continuous oppression of the Recha region, the Mongol military forces will surrender, and then achieve the goal of winning over Yan Xishan and his Jin Sui army.

"At present, the Kwantung Army is mobilizing troops to the front line of the Great Wall to intimidate, and it is only about the purpose of surrendering troops without a fight, and it is a gesture to show those conservatives and the government in China that the Kwantung Army and the Tianjin garrison army are in close cooperation and in step with each other, and the main means still need to be carried out through diplomatic channels, otherwise, it will be difficult for the limited force to cope with all kinds of possible sudden crises, and this point was very clear and clear to everyone at the staff meeting held last month."

The generals no longer have any objections to this, at present, there are endless debates and contradictions within the military circles, and there is no sign of improvement in the domestic economic situation, and the debt-ridden government is facing heavy pressure, and it is impossible to launch a full-scale war of aggression against China, even if it is decided to start a move against China with indomitable momentum, it will take at least half a year to prepare for the launch of a huge war machine, otherwise it will be possible to fall into a crisis of being attacked on several sides and being unable to follow.

What's more, so far, the plan of "dividing and winning over and breaking down" of the internal forces in the two political circles is still being carried out in an orderly manner, although the progress is somewhat slow and the results are not great, but there is always hope, and there are already Chinese officials who have fallen to the center, and this alone should not be easily let go.

Umezu Mijiro waved his hand and said, "Dohihara-kun, please continue." What I want to know most now is whether the 20,000 troops who have just driven from the highway in southwest China are self-contained combat units, or are they assigned to the departments of the 17th Army in the south of North China? And how to understand the phrase 'supplementary recruits recruited by the Seventeenth Army' reported by the Southwestern Radio Station in China? Are the two the same thing? ”

"The general is clever! One sentence is asked to the key point of the question, but so far, our intelligence agencies have not been sufficiently confirmed, but according to my personal judgment, the two should be the same thing, the so-called 'recruitment of supplementary recruits' is very likely to be the enemy's strategy, in order to hide this unit, including a mechanized brigade, deliberately in order to avoid its early exposure of its whereabouts, so that we can take precautions, and then play the role of a surprise soldier. ”

Kenji Dohihara paused for a moment and raised his head high: "According to my understanding of the establishment of the Anjia Army, a brigade of the Anjia Army is equivalent to a division of China's ordinary army troops, and different establishments are adopted according to different types of troops, the number of officers and soldiers is as high as 6,500 to 8,700 or so, and a division has three brigades under its jurisdiction, and the number is as high as about 20,000 people, which is already the size of an army of Chiang Kai-shek's main force in Whampoa, and the divisions of the Anjia Army are well-equipped and well-trained, and the grassroots officers and non-commissioned officers have received good military education, More than half of them were veterans with rich combat experience, and their combat effectiveness was far superior to that of the main forces of Chiang Kai-shek's Central Army. Therefore, I judge that it is likely that the headquarters of the Anjia Army deliberately took action in order to strengthen the 17th Army, which originated from the same source, and obtained the approval of Chiang Kai-shek, the supreme commander of the squadron.

"Prior to this, due to the shortage of funds of the central government in Nanjing, the 17th Army, which was included in the Central Army sequence and accepted the direct command of Chiang Kai-shek, although the establishment was still the largest among the first-level units of the Squadron Army, compared with the 24th Army of the Anjia Army, the number of officers and soldiers in each division was still nearly half less than that of the main division of the Anjia Army. It can be further inferred from this that the attitude of the Chinese side toward North China is gradually tending to be tough, and the differences with the attitude of the central government headed by Wang Jingwei toward Japan are constantly increasing.

"This is a very serious issue that deserves sustained attention, and it must be reported to the Ministry of War and the General Staff Headquarters as soon as possible for a decision. The above is my opinion, please discuss! ”

After listening to Kenji Dohihara's words, the generals looked melancholy and remained silent, even if they were as arrogant as Takashi Sakai, they were speechless.

Umezu Mijiro glanced around and made a decisive decision to suspend the military exercises scheduled for next week, suspend the dispatch of traitors armed with the Jidong Security Team into the 17th Army Defense Area to carry out provocation and harassment, and instructed Chief of Staff Takashi Sakai to immediately sort out the minutes of the meeting and report them to the country as soon as possible, and asked Kenji Dohihara's secret service to inform him of the latest espionage and military information at any time.

Baoding Military Station Battalion, Headquarters of the 17th Army.

After Yang Guan, chief of staff, read out the action order, the chief and deputy division commanders and chiefs of staff of each division still stood upright, except for Zhang Chengzhu and Li Jinlong, who led the 68th Division as a reserve to stay in the Shijiazhuang area, the other generals all looked excited and extremely excited.

Hu Jialin, who has been sharpened to maturity and stability, and his whole body is full of the majesty of the general of the army, nodded, and motioned for everyone to sit down, his deep eyes are like a quiet ancient well:

"Ladies and gentlemen, the three new brigades will be directly under the command for the time being, and after the completion of this exercise, all but the two heavy artillery regiments will be transferred to the direct jurisdiction of each division. According to the opinions of the commander of our base camp and the results of the discussions at the headquarters of our corps, it was decided to first transfer all the armored brigades stationed in the Shijiazhuang camp to General Zhang Chengzhu's 68th Division. In addition, the armored brigade will not take part in this exercise, and the 68 th Division can take this opportunity to immediately carry out internal adjustments, and work with the staff group of the Syrian General Headquarters to establish an armored corps training brigade under the division as soon as possible, so as to undertake the professional skills training of officers and men selected by each division of our army. ”

When Zhang Chengzhu, Li Jinlong, and Xiao Wu were overjoyed when they heard this, and when the new armored vehicles sprayed camouflage and equipped with 37 guns and general-purpose machine guns entered the camp of the cavalry regiment of the 67 th Division, they and the generals of the whole division looked at it again and again, and they couldn't put it down, and at the request of Zhang Chengzhu, the deputy brigade commander who led his troops to the north ordered the first armored battalion to demonstrate and perform, and the armored vehicles galloped in formation on the uneven cavalry training ground at a speed of nearly 40 kilometers per hour, bringing up bursts of dust, and in a short time they rushed over the mountain pass one kilometer to the south. Later, he changed the formation again and quickly returned, and the powerful and rapid impact of the ironclad chariot and the high-speed maneuverability made the hairs of the two thousand cavalry and more than 100 generals stand on end, and they are dumbfounded.

Zhang Chengzhu and Li Jinlong believed in the mechanized troops introduced by An Yi to the two more than two years ago, and finally saw the powerful combat effectiveness shown by modern weapons and equipment.

The generals looked at Zhang Chengzhu and the three of them with great envy, and when they saw the three of them talking incoherently with excitement, Yang Jiuxiao, the commander of the 40th Division, scolded sourly:

"Lao Zhang, what are you happy about? Isn't it just equipping a few broken cars? Look at your joy, if you don't sit down, I'll call the guards! ”

The hall laughed, Li Jinlong glanced at Yang Jiuxiao, who was full of beard, sat down slowly, and laughed three times in a row with the teacup very comfortably, so that Hu Jialin and Yang Guan beside him could not continue to keep a straight face.

Huang Yingwu, deputy commander of the legion and director of the *** department, scolded a few times when he saw this, what kind of system? Only then did the generals close their mouths and straighten their postures, but Zhang Chengzhu's grinning mouth never closed.

Huang Yingwu coughed and began to lecture: "Don't look at the 68th Division, although they have changed their guns, it is not so simple to form combat effectiveness.

"The 17th and 40th Divisions should think more about how to start a confrontation and how to defeat each other, and don't stare at the armored brigade of the 68th Division. This time, the distance of your division's internal confrontation exercise should not be less than 200 kilometers, including the battle for the airport, the occupation of the station, and other high-intensity confrontations between mutual attack and defense, and there must be no negligence! Now, I would like to invite you to continue speaking. ”

Hu Jialin glanced at the generals who had completely quieted down, and finally stopped on the face of Wu Liheng, the commander of the *** division, who was full of loneliness, Hu Jialin's heart was sour for no reason, and the words of encouragement that he originally wanted to say were suddenly not interested in saying it again, briefly summarized a few words, and once again emphasized the confidentiality measures and the security responsibility of the special brigade of the military department, waved his hand to announce the dismissal of the meeting, stood up and pretended to be nothing, called Wu Liheng over, and walked to the backyard together.

The two walked side by side under the two tall poplar trees, Hu Jialin took out a cigarette and lit it for Wu Liheng, lit one himself, and continued to stroll forward, walking for more than 50 meters, neither of them spoke.

Wu Liheng looked at the doctors and nurses hurrying in front of the field hospital in front of him, and then glanced around at the familiar barracks, large canteens and rows of trees, and couldn't help but sigh:

"I can't bear to leave my brothers! I'm so worried that I'll dream of this place in the future, we've been here for three years......"

"It's not that long, and it's only been more than two years since the Great Wall War of Resistance......," Hu Jialin lowered his head after finishing speaking, and then said softly after a while:

"Don't worry, the Commander must have taken care of things for you. Think about Xia Jian's kid, who was made bad at the beginning, and broke up the troops, didn't he also make a name for himself in the Shanghai Anti-Japanese War, and now he is the head of the army? You can fly to Nanjing tomorrow to show your face and sign in, no one dares to do anything to you, and when you are done, you will fly directly to Syria on the same transport plane, and you don't have to suffer from the bird's anger of those grandsons in the central government. I believe that after returning to Syria, the position left by the commander for you is no worse than your current division commander. ”

"I know this, at best, it's just going through the motions and making a show, so that those traitors and capitulationists have a good time...... It's just that this time I left the *** division and the 17th Army, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back, I feel uncomfortable. Wu Liheng still sighed.

“…… Lao Wu, I understand your feelings, the *** division is our old army, you are the third division commander of this model battalion and the spirit of the iron-blooded heroic division, and the soldiers will definitely be reluctant to let you leave...... Thinking about how the commander handed over this unit to me in the first place, you may feel better...... Go with confidence, the sea is wide and the sky is high for the birds to fly, maybe the next time we meet, you are already the commander of an army...... Take your guards with you, after all, you are used to summoning them, and you should be able to use them in southern Sichuan. Hu Jialin's voice was low, and he thought of where he spoke, and his words were full of strong comrade-in-arms.

"Okay."

"Tell the brothers to have a drink in the evening, and if you let the brothers know that you are quietly gone, it will be strange if everyone doesn't scold me to death."

"This ...... Well, I listen to you. ”

The two walked forward silently, and Hu Jialin asked again: "Is there anything left for our troops?" ”

Wu Liheng hesitated slightly: "Yes, let the brothers never lose the majesty and self-esteem of our An Jiajun, and must not lose the spirit of the model battalion, and they must give Lao Tzu a long face at any time!" ”

"Okay! When the exercise is over, I will announce it to the whole army without changing a word! ”
