Chapter 323: How Traitors Are Created
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm very sorry! The network has just been restored, and the network disconnection is simply an inhuman torture!
General Yamashita Daiichi was surrounded by the 23rd Tank Division and the 23rd Division was separated and surrounded by the absolutely superior Chinese tank troops, Chief of Staff Tojo Hideki abandoned his subordinates and fled alone at the most critical moment of the battle, which led to a sharp drop in the morale of the troops, and the use of a kind of tank that had never been seen before, even if the 47 mm long-barreled new tank gun within 100 meters fired at the vehicle in all directions, it was useless, and so on reported to Ueda Kenkichi.
Due to Tojo's erroneous command tactics, the two divisions were crowded within an area of several square kilometers, and it seemed that they had a strong assault force, but in fact they were tantamount to giving the enemy a good opportunity for a large-scale encirclement, and now both the tank division of the Kwantung Army and the 23rd Division were caught in the miserable situation of being divided and flanked on the left and right, and every minute and every second, the army paid heavy casualties.
The glazed-eyed Daiichi Yamashita looked at the billowing black smoke coming out of the wreckage of the destroyed chariot, and finally waved his hand helplessly and said to the officers gathered beside him: "Order the soldiers to lay down their weapons!" This is simply a fearless sacrifice! If there is a day, I will live to take you home, not your ashes. ”
Immediately, Yamashita ignored some of the adjutants who shouted very fiercely, and returned to the tent alone, and the core of the 23rd Mechanized Division was completely dispersed, some cried and shouted that they would die with the middle [***], some rushed to the battlefield with explosives bags, and some simply committed suicide with guns, and the wing of the brigade of the 23rd Mechanized Division did not have the wing flag given by the emperor because it was a mechanized wing, so even the verbosity of burning the military flag was saved.
Yamashita Daichi didn't perform the so-called caesarean section, nor did he shoot himself in the head at the last moment, he just changed into a set of clean clothes and waited quietly accompanied by his command knife with his command knife.
In fact, not only was the attack of the Zhou Libing and Ryosuke Isotani, Yamashita Fengfumi and others a decoy, but even his 23rd Division was also a bait. The sacrifice is so great, just to completely eliminate Zhang Xuewu? Is it worth it? I'm afraid no one can explain this question clearly to Daichi Yamashita, and what makes Daichi Yamashita extremely resentful is that Hideki Tojo actually led the military police squadron out of the battlefield ahead of schedule?
A bastard who keeps saying that he wants to defend the honor of the Imperial Army of the Great Empire to the death, a despicable person who says one thing and does another? Yamashita Daichi can't think of any words to curse Hideki Tojo, if Kenkichi Ueda is an old bastard, then Hideki Tojo is an idiot and a coward, and sure enough, as Ishihara said, the guy who always puts the word coward on his lips is actually the most unreliable! Moreover, Hideki Tojo couldn't even manage two machine guns, and it seemed that his special trip could only be a division-sized unit to suppress bandits, and he really went to the battlefield where the enemy and us were evenly matched, and Hideki Tojo was able to run very fast.
In this battle, Yamashita Daichi can be said to have lost unclearly, letting a guy who did not understand mechanized warfare at all command the mechanized troops to fight, and gathered the main forces of the two divisions together, and the artillery units were actually marching in a state of traction.
If it is to deal with the miscellaneous troops in the middle of the [***], this tactic may be able to work in one blow, but it is a pity that the intelligence and secret services from the staff headquarters to the Kanto region are all dry food, Zhang Xuewu has such a sharp chariot and Baotou and hidden an armored intelligence, but he didn't get it? This also made the battle plan formulated by the Kwantung Army basically send sheep into the tiger's mouth.
Yamashita Daichi knew that if his attack on Baotou did not attract the two most elite troops of Zhang Xuewu's Tenth War Zone, Okamura Ningji, who was responsible for turning the tide, was destined to hit his head and bleed, you must know that Xu Guohui's Tiger Benshi and Guo Xiangfei's Honorary First Division in the Tenth War Zone were all first-class elite soldiers, and Ueda Kenkichi was unlucky Yamashita Daichi was naturally happy to see it, who let Ueda Kenji dig such a big pit for himself to jump? And before jumping, you gave yourself a serious advice? This old bastard is too insidious and cunning, obviously let himself be sent to death, but he said that he was giving you a great opportunity? I was moved for a long time.
In fact, Yamashita Daichi never thought that Kenkichi Ueda would use his 23rd Mechanized Division and Ohara Tachie's Chariot Division as abandoned bait? Isn't that too much to pay? Can the military headquarters and the general staff headquarters agree to this extremely crazy price?
The first thing Yamashita did after being captured was to ask to meet the commander of the [***] of the First Meeting, and captured a living lieutenant general division commander and more than 19,000 officers and soldiers of the Yue Army, which was an unprecedented air victory, Hao Wenbin did not expect that the resistance of the Yue Army would collapse so quickly? In his impression, he said that his elite should fight to the last soldier with a single bullet, and he stupidly raised a grenade and shouted What is the emperor doing in grief? I don't know that even if the emperor surrenders unconditionally, his face will not change and his heart will not beat.
However, Hao Wenbin also took into account the special and cruel surnames of this battle, most of the corpses of the dead officers and soldiers remained charred, or were crushed by the tracks of the tank into a pile of things that could not tell what it was? In particular, the chariot divisions of the Kwantung Army participated in the battle, all of which were beaten into expensive bonfires of more than 200,000 yuan in a short confrontation of more than 30 minutes, and the lack of intelligence made them die extremely unjustly, if the chariot division and the 23rd mechanized division took advantage of the nearby terrain and terrain to defend, although the opponent's new tanks were sharp, the tracks would be blown up, and the engines would burn as well as if they were hit by Molotov cocktails, and the weak points of the tanks would still be there, and they would not lead to such a one-sided massacre.
Was it reasonable for the 23rd Division to resist the ass and lack the means of communication, and the tactics were dull and let the layman rats command the battle, not suffer a fiasco? A battle in which a major general commands a lieutenant general, a typical example of a battle under the icon operation of the imperial staff system.
Hao Wenbin saw the lieutenant general Yamashita Daiichi in a very clean military uniform in the cotton tent of the Yue Army. Wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, no matter what you do, it's like living in a glass house, and you're careful to break something? According to Hao Wenbin's experience, such a general of the army will definitely find an opportunity to commit suicide, for their thing called what is the emperor to do their loyalty that does not exist in the first place, this time the capture of so many soldiers Hao Wenbin is really not good to deal with directly, because in the past, the Rehe Corps was still the tenth theater after the restructuring, Zhang Xuewu's consistent practice is to say that he dares to come as much as he dares to bury, and he does not talk about the Neiwa Convention system at all, for Zhang Xuewu, the convention is not English and French Lao Tzu can't understand, Lao Tzu would only translate with cannons.
However, Yamashita Daiichi subverted Hao Wenbin's impression of himself as soon as he spoke, because Yamashita Daichi told Hao Wenbin very dutifully: "This general, Major General Hideki Tojo, chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, escaped under the cover of a squadron of gendarmes about two hours ago, and the commander of the chariot division, Lieutenant General Ohara Tachie, seems to have also been captured by your army. In addition, I asked to be given the treatment of matching my military rank, and in return, I had important information to present to His Excellency Commander Zhang Xuewu. ”
Hao Wenbin has seen himself surrender, but they are all very low-level, most of them are first-class soldiers, second-class soldiers, and the highest rank is only a Cao Chang, because he engaged in the wife of the captain who came from Tokyo to visit relatives, and he was afraid of being manipulated by the captain of the wing, so he walked more than 100 kilometers and took the initiative to defect to the Rehe side. It was the first time Hao Wenbin had seen it, and this was also the first time he had encountered an officer above the rank of junior commander of the army who took the initiative to lay down his arms and surrender, and it can be said that under the leadership of the freshman at the top of the mountain, a large number of officers of the army raised their hands and surrendered.
It can be said that the sentence "I want to take you home alive" before the surrender of Yamashita Daichi played a certain role, and Hao Wenbin also realized that this was likely to be an opportunity? But I don't know how to use Hao Wenbin's function to report to Zhang Xuewu, who is sitting outside the province of Chengde to resist the enemy, before Zhang Xuewu has not replied, Hao Wenbin's function is to listen to what he said to write? After all, the other party is the commander of the lieutenant general division of the Kwantung Army and even the army of the mechanized division, if the first year of Yamashita does not know some secrets? Hao Wenbin also refused to believe it, he didn't have to find a way to arbitrage or torture himself, and Hao Wenbin admired this somewhat alternative person very much.
Zhang Xuewu learned that the commander of the 23rd Mechanized Division of the Army, Yamashita Dai, had laid down his arms and surrendered, and asked for him to be given treatment that matched his rank? I don't know much about this Yamashita Daichi to learn martial arts, but I only know that he is a man with a prominent position, who has studied in Europe for many years, likes a comfortable and luxurious life, and is a special existence in the army.
Since he took the initiative to make a request, he is really a bit too much to say if he is not satisfied! And Zhang Xuewu also realized the flash of a huge opportunity he was facing?
