Extremely dissatisfied with Sonobe and Ichiro in his heart, Yamawaki Masataka did not dare to disobey the order. Disobedience on the battlefield, but you have to go to court-martial!

"General, can we not listen to the orders of the military department and go back to Xinyang directly?" The chief of staff next to him knew the situation of the division and regiment well, and seeing that the division commander was hesitating, he immediately offered advice on the side.

"Tian Yuanjun, do you want me to disobey on the battlefield?" The division commander looked at his chief of staff, and there was a hint of unhappiness in his tone.

Chief of Staff Toshio Osa, Tayuan, was also the chief of staff of the previous division commander, Fujita Susuru. It was because Yamawaki Masataka had just arrived and did not know enough about the Third Division that he kept the former chief of staff in order to help him grasp the situation of the division as soon as possible. Since Lieutenant General Yamawaki took office, Tamura Daisa has tried his best to cooperate in all aspects and won the satisfaction of the division commander, so he was able to stay. How could such a shrewd person come up with such a bad idea?

"Your Excellency General," facing the questioning gaze of the division commander, Tian Yuan Lixiong raised his head and said: "During the Battle of Nanjing, the initial order of the base camp was also to stop the attack when it reached Suzhou and Jiaxing. It was Commander Matsui and the commander of Tani Shoufu's division who forcibly led the troops to attack Nanjing, regardless of the orders of the base camp! As you know, not only did they capture the capital of China, but all of these commanders became heroes! Our current situation," Taro Toshio was about to continue, but Lieutenant General Yawaki interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

"Tian Yuanjun, I understand what you mean. The situation we are in now is different from that of Tani Shofu at that time. Although they disobeyed the order, they won the battle in the end, and it was a victory with great impact. Under the aura of victory, disobedience to orders is also forgivable. But if we disobey now, it will be a retreat, a failure! Do you understand? If you lose the battle, someone is responsible! So, now we must not disobey the orders of the military department! ”

"But general, Sun Lianzhong opposite us ......"

"Say no more! Tian Yuanjun, I've already decided! As soon as dawn, the 3rd Division was dispatched with the whole army, forcibly broke through from the junction between the 30th Army and the 68th Army, and attacked Zaoyang! ”

"Hey!" Once the division commander has made up his mind, as the chief of staff, he must obey, and Tian Yuan Toshio's task now is to plan for the next offensive of the division and regiment.

The Ishimoto detachment in the sequence of the 3rd Division. Taro Ishimoto looked at the tank parked next to him, and his eyes widened with anger. In just one day, more than half of the reserve oil he brought with him was used! The fuel depot of the 3rd Division was bombed, and the most seriously affected was General Ishimoto's tank detachment, in fact, his detachment should be called the tank brigade.

It's all that incompetent Masatoshi Yamawaki! Even an oil depot is not well guarded, so that his dignified chariot brigade can climb into this desolate ravine and cannot move the place! If the oil was sufficient, he would have broken through the position of the Chinese on the opposite side and entered Miyang!

"I really want to go back to the station!" Ishimoto Sadazhi said such an emotion to the chariot wing Osa next to him, he really didn't want to follow Yamawaki Masataka!

"Your Excellency, General." The armored soldier Dazuo looked around and found that everyone else was far away from them (the brigade commander and the wing commander were talking, and the others were okay with each other), so he whispered: "Now even if you want to go back to the station, you can't go back!" There is simply not enough fuel in the tanks of the tank for us to drive back! ”

It's such a disappointment, and now I can't even run! What is this called a chariot wing? Taro Ishimoto was still angry, but he didn't know that just a few years later, their strong ally, the powerful German Imperial Field Marshal Rommel, was in Africa, also due to fuel problems, and finally suffered defeat. No matter how powerful the armored troops are, if they don't have enough fuel, they will eventually end up in the sand.

When I returned to the cantonment, I just thought about it. General Ishimoto can't abandon his chariot brigade and lead the armored troops back to the garrison on foot, right?

"General, Lieutenant General Yamawaki calls." An armored soldier jumped from a nearby vehicle, holding a wireless phone in his hand. At least the tank has this advantage, that is, it is convenient for communication.

"Shi Ben-kun? The military headquarters ordered our troops to march to Zaoyang and asked them to arrive within two days. Shi Benjun's chariot troops were asked to be the lead of the division and open the way for the division to attack. Please! Lieutenant General Yawaki said very politely, but the order was unchangeable.

"Please rest assured, Your Excellency General, Ishimoto will do his best!" Even though he was not very satisfied with Yamawaki Masataka in his heart, he was respectful on the surface, but Major General Ishimoto still did a good job. "It's just that the tank wing is seriously short of fuel, and I'm afraid that there will be problems on the way to attack, and if it can't drive Zaoyang, there will be big trouble. Your Excellency, the commander of the division, please think of a way. "I can carry out your orders, and you will help me solve my difficulties. General Ishimoto threw the trouble to the division commander.

"Fuel, in this way, Shi Benjun can use the fuel on other vehicles to the chariot first, and the combat ability of the chariot must be guaranteed! Whether the division can reach Zaoyang as scheduled depends on Shi Benjun's chariot wing! ”

Other vehicles? That's a baggage truck! Except for the truck, there is no gas on the other cars! Mule and horse carts don't burn oil! Of course, there is also oil on motorcycles, but there are not many motorcycles in the division itself, and the fuel on motorcycles is pitiful. Fill up the tank, it would take a lot of motorcycles to fill up a tank!

In addition, the oil on the trucks was given to the tanks, what to do with the trucks that ran out of gas, but Lieutenant General Yawaki did not say. It is definitely not okay to stay and give it to the Chinese. Let the soldiers carry them along? It's even more of a joke. The only thing to do is to blow it up. The responsibility for blowing up the truck fell again on General Ishimoto.

Taro Ishimoto didn't have much of a burden about pumping oil from the truck onto the tank, and eventually blowing it up. Being able to get his chariot wing to drive is the most important thing in General Ishinomoto's heart!

The midnight song also drifted to the Ishimoto detachment, and the armored troops of the chariot detachment were also affected to a certain extent, but not as obvious as the infantry wing. As the commander of the armored force, Taro Ishimoto should have been fully alert when he heard this strange noise, but this general Ishimoto was so engrossed in pumping oil from the truck and blowing up the truck at this time, and he did not do anything to deal with such an obvious strange sound.

The discussion of the Japanese soldiers and the crying caused by homesickness were carried out in private, and there were neither ** nor large numbers of deserters from the devils.

After the officers heard the singing, they also went abroad to fight, and of course their own emotions were also affected. It's just that these people are officers after all, and their responsibilities are still heavier than ordinary soldiers. For fear that something would go wrong with the troops, after going out to inspect and finding that everything was normal, the officers either took the photos of their families and were dazed, or looked for a bottle of sake and borrowed wine to drown their sorrows.
