Chapter 660 is messed up

The more he talked, the more excited he became, and the more he drank, the more excited he became. In particular, there is a quiet and slender beautiful writer Lin Fumiko on the table, and the hormones in the body have exploded, and the stimulated Shanshanyuan's brain is hot, and the old eyes are bright, just like an old pervert who sees an 18-year-old girl

Shanshanyuan is a bit old after all, and the effect of hormones cannot last, not to mention that there are still people pouring cold water?

Muto Zhang, deputy chief of staff of the North China Front, was originally assigned to Shanxi by Shanshanyuan, and his task was to urge the First Army to take advantage of the downing of Liu Yimin's special plane to fish and severely damage the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi. It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, Liu Yimin escaped death, and he also killed Lieutenant General Yamaoka Chonghou, the commander of the 10th and 9th Division, and the little devil's fishing plan naturally ended without a problem. Now that the Japanese army is using troops on a large scale in Shandong, Muto Akira was recalled to Beiping today to assist Sugi Sugi Yuan and Yamashita Fengfumi in commanding the operation.

Just when Shanshan Yuan was blowing the conch, Muto Zhang looked gloomy, walked into the banquet hall quickly, whispered a few words to Yamashita Fengwen, and saw Yamashita Fengwen get up, walked to Shanshanyuan in a few steps, and said softly: "Your Excellency Commander, if there is an emergency, please immediately interrupt the banquet and go back to the war room to study the battlefield situation." ”

Yamashita Fengwen said this, Shanshan Yuan couldn't accept it at once, and stared at him in a daze for a long time before he said to the degenerate literati of several pen troops: "Miss Miko, gentlemen: Please enjoy dinner slowly and enjoy the performance." I'm going to be out of company for a while, and I'm causing you a lot of trouble."

After speaking, Shanshanyuan didn't forget to bow to a few people, and then followed Shanshanyuan, Muto Zhang, and Kita Seiichi out of the banquet hall with a suspicious face, and went back to the war room. The rest of the degenerate literati in military uniforms, you look at me, I look at you, they are a little confused, and they don't know what happened, which made General Shanshan Yuan leave the table.

It didn't take long for Shanshanyuan's roar to sound in the headquarters of the North China Front, and the sound of Baga and Baga echoed in the corridors.

After Shanshan Yuan vented, like a deflated ball, he sat down on the chair, lowered his head and said to himself, "How can I explain this to His Majesty the Emperor?" The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is in trouble again, and those European and American powers are going to laugh at the incompetence of the Japanese Army again. ”

Yamashita Fengfumi is a relatively pure professional soldier, and at this time he is most concerned about how to rescue the 14th Division, and he is not willing to lose a permanent division when he is the chief of staff of the North China Front, which will affect the opinion of His Majesty the Emperor and the veteran ministers in the army, and will affect his long-term military luck

Yamashita Fengwen couldn't help but say: "Your Excellency Commander, now is not the time to think about losing face in front of the world powers, it is important to think about how to rescue the 14th Division, I think that it is appropriate for Lieutenant General Takamasa Sekii to suspend the implementation of the operational plan for a sneak attack on Jinan, and it is also appropriate to gather troops and retreat south." It should immediately call back and agree with Lieutenant General Sekii Takamasa's plan, and the 14th Division should quickly withdraw from the battle, disengage from contact with the Eighth Route Army, and return to Yanzhou as quickly as possible. At the same time, the 35th Division and the 13th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade should be ordered to deploy on the spot to resolutely resist the pursuit of the Tuba Road and cover the retreat of the 14th Division. ”

This is the result of Osamu Maeda's offense against Sugi Sugimoto, Yamashita Fumi, and Iida Sadagu.

Yamashita Fengfumi can be regarded as a fierce general in the Japanese army, and he will not engage in these mutually conflicting things. Blame Maeda's telegram for placing the blame for the attack on the artillery group of the Eighth Route Army by the 35th Division and the 13th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Army. In case the 35th Division and the 13th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade are really wiped out by the Eighth Route Army, and the responsibility will be investigated, this is a crime of beating too much, and the rabbit is in a hurry and bites, not to mention the war maniac and aggressive Yamashita Fengwen

Of course, Yamashita couldn't take revenge on Osamu Maeda, because at this time Osamu Maeda had already ordered a retreat and could not receive their telegrams.

Although Muto Akira's position is low, he has participated in strategic decision-making many times, and Maeda has not offended him, so it is relatively fair to consider the problem: "Your Excellency Commander and Chief of Staff: Judging from the telegrams sent by the commanders of the two divisions, the situation on the battlefield on the front line from Tai'an to Hiyama Mountain is already very critical, and it is necessary for the two divisions to move closer to each other and strengthen their strength, so that there will be a glimmer of life. For the sake of today's plan, the 35th Division and the 13th Independent Mixed Brigade should be ordered to move closer to the 14th Division, the 14th Division should be ordered to quickly retreat, establish a strong position on the south bank of the Wen River, and send troops to meet the 35th Division and the 13th Independent Mixed Brigade. ”

Speaking of this, Muto Akira gritted his teeth: "Now that we have reached a life-and-death crisis, I suggest that Your Excellency the Commander immediately order the air group to take off fighters and bomb the Eighth Route Army on the battlefield to cover the retreat of the 14th and 35th Divisions." As long as the two troops break away from the artillery of the Eighth Route Army, with the strong combat effectiveness of the 14th Division, there should be no problem in holding out until dawn. ”

Yamashita Fengwen immediately retorted: "Muto-kun is too wishful thinking, Takamasa Sekii asks for aviation, and you also want aviation." Don't you know that it's night and the air force doesn't have night combat aircraft? If the aviation is forcibly ordered to be dispatched, it will inevitably cause losses to the aviation, and who will bear the responsibility for this? ”

Muto Akira is the one who advises Emperor Hirohito and Prince Zaihito of the Idle Palace, where will he really put Yamashita Fengwen in his eyes, it's just that they don't want to offend their bosses when they work together. After listening to Yamashita Fengwen's words, Muto Akiqiang held back the contempt and irritability in his heart, and said patiently: "The loss of dozens of fighters and the loss of the 14th and 35th divisions, which is more important, does not need to be discussed. ”

Seeing that the chief of staff and the deputy chief of staff were arguing, Kita Makoto on the side couldn't stand it anymore: "Your Excellency the commander, chief of staff, and deputy chief of staff: now is not the time for an argument. I think that bad things can be turned into good things. Liu Yimin besieged the 14th Division and the 35th Division, indicating that his main force was concentrated in the Taifei area. This is a very important situation, we have been fighting Liu Yimin for so long, except for his capture of Jinan, we have not been able to determine the exact location of his main force. Now that the goal is clear, we have a direction to attack. I suggest that the 14th Division and the 35th Division should be ordered to quickly move closer and retreat to Yanzhou too far, and perhaps Liu Yimin has another ambush, so the two divisions should retreat to the south bank of the Wen River and hold out until tomorrow. Then we concentrated on the main forces of the northern front and the main force of the eastern front to march in the starry night and resolutely take Jinan. Early tomorrow morning, we will concentrate the main force of the air force to bomb the Eighth Route Army on a large scale, and our main force will move south from Jinan, and we will certainly be able to gather and annihilate the main force of Liu Yimin's instructor on the north bank of the Wen River. In order to achieve this goal, I would like to ask Your Excellency the Commander to immediately report to the base camp that it is currently occupied, and request that the Kwantung Army increase its forces to support us in the operation. In addition, from Manchuria, the 2nd Division was quickly replenished with artillery wings and combat vehicles to ensure the combat effectiveness of the 2nd Division. ”

This Kita Seiichi was the first person in the Japanese army to discover the growing anti-Japanese sentiment in China, and he was also the first to write a letter to the War Department, demanding a fatal blow to China. Later, the dialogue and aggression and expansion faction in the Japanese army actually followed in his footsteps. This guy is not only a veteran spy, but also a strategically minded general. If his suggestion can be realized, the main force of the Eighth Route Army's instructors will indeed be bitten by the main force of the Japanese army, and maybe there will be a situation where the Eighth Route Army has to fight to the death with the Japanese army.

As soon as he heard Kita Seiichi say that bad things can be turned into good things, the sluggish Sugi Sugimoto suddenly came to his senses, stood up from his chair, walked to Kita Seiichi, patted him on the shoulder, and said three words meaningfully.

Next, Shanshanyuan's thinking became quicker, and his thinking became clearer, and he began to dictate orders, asking Yamashita Fengfumi and Muto Akira to send a telegram immediately, ordering the 14th Division and the 35th Division to immediately gather their troops, withdraw from the battle, and leave the blocking troops to resist the pursuit of the Eighth Route Army. The main force of the eastern front was ordered to advance eastward at night, and the main force of the northern front quickly annihilated the Eighth Route Army on the west bank of the Yellow River, and launched a battle to cross the river overnight. The two armies will attack Jinan, and they must take the city of Jinan before dawn. The aviation group was ordered to organize pilots with first-class skills to dispatch no less than 30 sorties to the front line of Thailand and Feifei to carry out night bombing of the Eighth Route Army.

After dictating the order, Yamashita and Muto Akira went to send telegrams and make phone calls, and Sugi Sugimoto and Kita Makoto closed the door and began to think about how to report to the base camp.

At this time of the Battle of Taixi, no matter whether it was Shanshan Yuan or anyone in the Japanese army, it was impossible for anyone to change the fate of the 14th Division, the 35th Division, and the 13th Brigade Regiment.

After Shanshanyuan's order was issued, Sekii Takamasa quickly called back, saying that he was organizing the troops to retreat, but the artillery group of the Eighth Route Army was too fierce, the troops were disrupted, and the vehicles were seriously damaged, and the 14th Division must do its best to carry out the order of His Excellency the commander. At the same time, Takamasa Sekii reported that, judging from the battlefield situation, the 35th Division and the 13th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade had been defeated, and it was very likely that they would not be able to complete the task of moving closer to the 14th Division.

Corresponding to Seki's telegram was a reply from the chief of staff of the 35th Division. He reported that the artillery group of the Eighth Route Army had strong firepower, the assault troops were using countless tanks, armored vehicles, and automobiles to open the way, and the 35th Division and the 13th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade had been disrupted and were being pursued by the assault troops of the Eighth Route Army. The commander of the Maeda division and the commander of the Morita Masafumi brigade personally organized the troops to block the attack, and ordered him to evacuate the battlefield in an armored vehicle with a military flag and a radio station, and to ask for help from the 14th Division. He will arrive at the Ningtai Highway in another half an hour and join the 14th Division.

The reply from the chief of staff of the 35th Division poured a deep chill on Sugi Moto, Yamashita Bongfumi, Muto Akira, Kita Seiichi and others. They are all soldiers, and they know that only at the last moment will they order small units to break out with military flags and radio stations. It seems that the 35th Division and the 13th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade are no longer reliable, and the 14th Division must be kept no matter what.

After reading the telegram, Shanshan Yuan muttered for a while: "This Maeda Osamu is not too confused, and he knows how to protect the military flag and the radio." ”

These words were originally very chilling, but Yamashita Fengfumi and Kita Seiichi didn't feel cold, they were all trained in the spirit of bushido, and they felt that protecting the military flag was the last honor to protect a unit, and Maeda Osamu should do this.

Seeing that a division and an independent mixed brigade were about to disappear, and more than 20,000 sturdy Yamato men were about to be buried on the land of Shandong, Muto Zhang was extremely sad and indignant, feeling that Shanshan Yuan, an old bastard, was a vegetarian and blind command, and he couldn't even figure out where Liu Yimin's strength was, so he dared to order the troops to launch a three-way attack, purely taking the lives of the Yamato warriors as a child's play. Looking at the arrogant Yamashita Fumi and Kita Seiichi like a fox, Muto Akira hated it more and more.

This Muto Akira was pampered by his parents since he was a child, and he developed a self-respecting and empty-eyed character, coupled with the fascist education he received all the way from the Army Infant School to the Army University, Muto Akira was even more arrogant. This person has a set of military strategy, but his character is a little problematic, and the Japanese army has given him a nickname, called "Wude".

Originally, the two commanders of the North China Front, Terauchi Shouichi and Sugi Sugimoto, were both pillars of the Japanese army, which Muto Akira could never afford to provoke, but now in the face of the possible annihilation of the 35th Division and the 13th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade, the unruliness in Muto Akira's character has finally risen.

Listening to Shanshanyuan's words, Muto Zhang couldn't hold back any longer, and yelled at Shanshanyuan: "Your Excellency Commander, Lieutenant General Maeda's telegram is right, the tragedy of the 35th Division and the independent mixed 13th Brigade was caused by the Front Army Headquarters and the Twelfth Army Headquarters. We didn't even know where Liu Yimin's forces were, so we ordered the troops to attack overnight, leading to the current situation. In my opinion, it's not that Liu Yimin is too cunning, but that our senior generals are too stupid."

What he said was tantamount to smoking the slap of Sugimoto and Yamashita Fengwen and Kita Seiichi.

However, this Muto Shochi is not an ordinary person, and Shanshan Yuan is not Terauchi Shouichi, he didn't dare to smoke Muto Shoichi like Terauchi slap Kita Makoto, so he had to play with empty hand: "What Muto-kun said has a certain truth, it's not that Liu Yimin is cunning, but that our senior generals are too stupid." Lieutenant General Maeda Osamu and Lieutenant General Morita Masahomi, who had been stationed in the Yanzhou area for a long time, were ignorant of the changes in the strength of the Eighth Route Army operating in this area, which affected the judgment and decision-making of the front army headquarters and base camp, and led to the Imperial Council to determine the operational plan for the siege of the Three-Route Army. In addition, as the deputy chief of staff of the front army, Muto-kun is known for his resourcefulness and good decision-making on weekdays, but when he came to any time, he did not conduct in-depth research on the war in Shandong and even the entire North China, and did not formulate a high-level battle plan, so that Liu Yimin's instructor once again exploited the loopholes of the imperial army. The Commander will truthfully report these circumstances to His Majesty the Emperor, the Prime Minister, the Land Minister, and the Chief of the General Staff, seriously examine the successes and failures of the campaign, and hold accountable individual high-ranking generals for their dereliction of duty. ”

Shanshan Yuan's words are not nonsense, just now he and Kita Makoto conspired for a long time, and the telegram sent to the base camp set this main tone. Two points were emphasized: First, the battle plan was approved by the Imperial Council, and the North China Front was only carrying out the orders of His Majesty the Emperor. Second, Maeda Osamu and Morita Masaho were stationed in Yanzhou, Tai'an, and Taixi for a long time, and they failed to effectively reconcoct the enemy's situation, resulting in an unclear situation of the enemy, which affected the decision of the high command and should be responsible for the unfavorable operation. It's just that I didn't expect Akira Muto to jump out at that time, so I only put the scapegoats on the heads of Osamu Maeda and Masahomi Morita. Now Muto Akira jumped out, and it just so happened that Sugi Motomo took the opportunity to put him on the list of scapegoats.

Muto Akira never dreamed that Sugi Sugi Yuan would hit a rake, push the responsibility for the battlefield defeat caused by his blind command, and backhand made Maeda Osamu , Morita Masaho and himself as scapegoats, and couldn't help but say in a loud voice: "Your Excellency, I can't agree with what you say. It is true that Osamu Maeda and Masatori Morita are responsible for their ineffective investigations, but Your Excellency the Commander cannot put the responsibility for the impracticality of the battle plan on me. This is unfair, I am not convinced"

Muto Akira had to say more, Yamashita opened his mouth and shouted at the guards, saying that at the time of the Great War, Muto Akira, as the deputy chief of staff of the front army, did not think about how to save the crisis, but fabricated charges, framed his superiors, disobeyed orders, interfered with the normal work of the headquarters, and the crime was unforgivable. The guards were asked to drag Muto Akira down and confine him in confinement pending trial by a military court.

Looking at the black muzzles of the guards and the hideous faces of Shanshanyuan and Yamashita Fengwen, Muto Zhang realized that compared with Shanshanyuan, he was a little tenderer, and he was an old bastard who had been through the storm for a long time, framed and retaliated, turned his hands into clouds and covered his hands for rain, and he could say black as white and white as black anytime and anywhere, and he could make it by any means. I had to listen to him in the past, and I have to listen to him now, and I am afraid I will have to listen to him in the future. If you don't do it, you may never be able to return to Tokyo, and you will have to be a scapegoat if you die.

Thinking of this, Muto Akira immediately understood how Lieutenant General Itagaki Seishiro's suicide came about.

Kita Seiichi was the head of the special service of the North China Front, and he was most afraid that someone would hold him accountable for the enemy's unclear situation, and that would push him into the fire pit. However, he has engaged in a lot of conspiracies, and he knows that Muto Akira is not easy to mess with, and if he is forced to be in a hurry, he will also be killed.

Kita Makoto began to play a round game: "Your Excellency Commander, Muto-kun, I think it is imperative to unite against the enemy and consider how to rescue the 14th Division and take over the 35th Division and the 13th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade. As for the question of accountability for the defeat of the campaign, now is not the time. As long as the main force of the northern front can completely annihilate the blocking troops of the Eighth Route Army on the west bank of the Yellow River, and our army can recover Jinan, it will be enough to offset the losses of the 35th Division and the 13th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade. Your Excellency Commander is quite right, the reason for the unfavorable situation is indeed that some of our senior generals do not know the enemy's situation and do not carry out the orders of the front army headquarters effectively. But this does not include Muto-kun, after all, he has not been in North China for a long time, and he does not know much about the Eighth Route Army, so it is impossible to formulate a practical battle plan. What Muto-kun said is not that Liu Yimin is too cunning, but that our senior generals are too stupid, I think about it, I mean generals like Kuma Shimoto and Maeda Osamu who love and are the top cows of the front army headquarters and army headquarters. Muto-kun, I don't know if I understand, right? ”

This is to find Muto Zhang under the stairs, so that he does not know what to say and what not to say. Muto Akira is no matter how arrogant he is, and at this time he also knows that Kita Seiichi is for his good, and he doesn't want to watch him inexplicably receive an order to apologize for his sins.

Muto Zhang bowed his head: "Kita-kun's guidance is right, what I mean is that due to the poor reconnaissance of Maeda Osamu and others, the front army headquarters failed to carry out His Majesty's orders, allowing Liu Yimin to find an opportunity to ambush and encircle and annihilate the 35th Division and the 13th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade." Your Excellency, I'm sorry for the trouble. Thank you for your kind attention."

Shanshanyuan made a "hum" sound in his nose, waved his hand, asked the guards to retreat, and said directly: "Now if you want to compete with the Eighth Route Army, you must withdraw the 14th Division across the Wen River before the Eighth Route Army encircles it." Chief of Staff, together with Muto-kun, you urge the 14th Division to quickly withdraw south. If necessary, you can throw down your baggage, and the troops will be lightly armed and retreat with all their might. ”

Seeing that an infighting had finally been eliminated, Kita Seiichi and Yamashita Fengwen both breathed a sigh of relief. Yamashita Fengfumi directly led Muto Akira to continue to send telegrams and make phone calls, and command front-line operations.

This time, Yamashita Fengwen also became cautious, and tried his best to send and call the telegram and phone calls to Muto Zhang, he just watched from the side, lest in the future, when he was held responsible, Muto Zhang, this guy stood and talked without backache, and put the basin on the head of the commander and himself.

After Yamashita and Muto Akira left, Sugi Sugimoto sighed and said to Kita Seichi: "I finally understand why General Terauchi Shouichi has asked for his resignation at every turn, and it seems that I will also have to send a telegram to His Majesty the Emperor asking for punishment and asking for approval to resign." ”

After this turmoil, Kita Seiichi has a deeper understanding of Shanshanyuan in his heart, and feels that Shanshanyuan and Terauchi Shouichi have their own merits, but they are also ruthless, and they can't afford to offend either of them. Terauchi Shouichi is better, he can be regarded as a military talent, and he slapped himself and did not forget to recommend promotion, this Shanshan Yuan is much more insidious than Terauchi Shouyi, it is not good to fight, but it is not soft to find a scapegoat. If he hadn't stopped him just now, maybe he and Yamashita Fengwen would have dared to kill Muto Sho quietly, and then make up a lie that Muto Sho committed suicide in fear of crime, and everything would be fine.

Kita Seiichi guessed well, at that moment, Sugi Sugi Yuan wanted Muto Zhang's life, and he talked nonsense about the emperor's decision-making mistakes and the fiasco caused by his own blind command, which would be very annoying. If he died, and he apologized for his sin with death, he would be gone, and no one would ever take the blame for the defeat of the battle on himself.

Kita Seichi didn't dare to interject, and said that he had to go and greet those pen troops, and slipped away.
