Chapter 295: News from Jinzhou
On the dock of Osaka Port, the diminutive Hanaya was waiting in line with hundreds of officer trainees to board the ship, Chen Haohui, who was alias Kawashima Nishihei, also wore a Japanese-style military uniform to "see them off", and the innocent Kawashima Yoshiko ran around in the procession, causing the officers to laugh.
"I really envy you, but it's a pity that I still have another year to graduate."
"Kawashima-kun is so sorry, when you graduate, I believe that I have laid down the entire Manchurian for the emperor."
After more than a year of lurking, Chen Haohui got used to the fanaticism of these young Japanese officers, and the first day of the Japanese war gave the country a taste of the sweetness of gambling, and after the victory of Japan and Russia, he thought that he could speak for the whole of Asia, and he did not look at the special position of his country, if the brothers on the other side of the sea could make a heart, even if 100,000 for 50,000, the country would collapse! But his face was as fanatical as theirs, and he didn't even change his brow and smiled: "Yes, I can feel the courage in your body." But you should be careful on the battlefield, I heard that they have put in more than 100,000 troops, and quite a few cannons. ”
"Cannons? Kawashima-kun, do you mean the 7 mm one? Haha" An artillery cadet officer next to him laughed, and after laughing, he raised his fist in public: "I will let them understand what a real cannon is, my country's latest 15 mm cannon can block the advance of an entire brigade." ”
Chen Haohui wrinkled his nose silently. Indeed, this is what he is most worried about, Japan is not Beiyang at all. They have a very complete artillery system, especially in recent years, the 38-year series that has been improved and imitated according to German products has been promoted as a historic leap in Japanese artillery technology, and I don't know if the country is ready. Thinking of this, he hehe: "Of course, the power of the 15mm cannon is amazing." ”
"It's a pity that there are too few of them." Hanaya sighed: "My uncle told me that if we can't recapture the Baofen Coal and Iron Mine as soon as possible, the output of Hachiman Iron may drop to 200,000 tons this year, and I blame those damn Shina people, I must help the Empire recapture the Coal and Iron Mine and completely open up the Nanman lifeline!" Only in this way can more cannons be made to deal with foreigners and ghosts. ”
Chen Haohui secretly said that it was best not to have a ton, but through this, he could also see that the Japanese army was determined to fight to the death this time, and he was even more worried, and said: "Yes, we need to fight." ”
Hanaya didn't know that he wanted to inspire those domestic comrades-in-arms in his heart, and thought that he was also worried about raw materials, so he suddenly lowered his voice and said: "Don't worry, Kawashima-kun, I heard from the people of the navy that this time they are ready to send the Second Fleet to escort us to land in Jinzhou, think about it, if you can go around to Jinzhou, you can quickly outflank Mukden and attack them from both sides of the South Manchurian Railway!" Hua Gu Zheng couldn't help but laugh when he said proudly, as if he saw the picture of the Japanese military flag planted in Mukden City, but Chen Haohui beside him was shocked, and secretly said that he must spread the news, whether it is true or not, the commander must be prepared!
Thinking of this, he didn't have the heart to continue to see him off, beckoned to Yoshiko Kawashima and pretended to take her to buy candy and prepare to leave. hundred

Suo quickly entered the station, but at this moment, several students who had not yet graduated suddenly ran towards the dock, and immediately shouted when they saw everyone: "Hua Gu Zheng, Chongtengjun is terrible!" ”
The shouting attracted the attention of the trainee officers, and they all looked at the two, Chen Haohui also stopped suddenly, and when he saw the anxious faces of the two of them, he knew that something must be wrong, and he took Yoshiko Kawashima's little hand and stopped.
"Oops! You see, this is our British newspaper today, is that true? ”
Chen Haohui deliberately took two steps, and when he saw the photos and news in the newspaper clearly, his eyes suddenly widened, and his chest exploded violently as if he had been stuffed with a cannonball! The 38th Wing was wiped out? The Wing Flag has also been captured, God! Is it true that the fathers and the fathers are above? Don't talk about him, all the Japanese trainee officers were blown up by this news, and Hanaya Zheng scolded even more: "These damn Shina people, they can't defeat us and spread such fake news!" Don't believe it, in the face of Russia, the machine guns and artillery wing flags have never been lost, how can they be lost in the hands of the Chinese army, which is not even short of artillery. ”
"yes, it must be a rumor."
"They are deliberately trying to stir up the morale of the military."
"I said a long time ago that my country should not contain so many people, they must be spreading false news, and they should all be expelled!"
The shouting suddenly resounded through the harbor, and the trainee officers unanimously decided that this was fake news, which made Chen Haohui also suspicious, could it be that this was really a domestic strategy? This is very likely, the 38th Wing is a large wing, equivalent to one and a half in normal times, and there is enough artillery wing to support it, how can it be so easy to defeat. But just as these army officers shouted, there was a burst of ridicule from the naval transport ship that came to pick them up and go to Lushun: "Look at these army idiots, the Chinese have already sent them to the world with radio code, but they still don't believe these megalomaniac who even the Chinese can't beat, and they have also lost all the wing flags given by His Majesty the Emperor, which is really a loss of face for the empire, and the army should be disbanded!" ”
"Yes, disband the Army"
Since the Siemens incident, the high-level Japanese army and navy have been in a hostile state, which has also affected ordinary army and sea soldiers, and there are countless incidents of people hostile to each other and fighting, so when they heard the sailors laughing, Hanaya Zheng These hot-blooded young people could still bear it, and they scolded each other, and they didn't know who took the lead in the end, and when a broken shoe flew onto the deck, the two gangs suddenly twisted into a ball.
Yoshiko Kawashima's eyes widened, looking curiously at these "uncles" in a ball, and there was a kind of excitement and excitement on her little face. Chen Haohui is as happy as eating honey in his heart, there is an unwritten tradition in Japanese military circles, the news of the Navy in the mouth of the army must be true, and the news of the army in the mouth of the Navy is also a certainty!
Destroy! Annihilated the entire 38 Wing! He couldn't contain his emotions anymore, and he really wanted to find a place to laugh. In the past few days, he has heard too many words such as revenge, declaration of war, killing and so on, and when these Japanese radicals are clamoring for the most ferocious, this black tiger is really wonderful! And the commander actually had the ingenuity to send it to the world in clear code! Now all the news can't be blocked! Great, great! It's going to be a very, very exciting time in Japan!
He was right, the news of the death of all the 38th Wing made the Japanese high-level, especially the War Department, a mess, and no one knew what happened to Ferris Ridge, even if the squadron had a few heavy guns, it shouldn't have been defeated so quickly?! Originally, he was also going to take advantage of this opportunity to drag the opponent's four brigades for ten days, and then concentrate two or three wings from the South Manchurian Line to the north to Mukden, and then the navy would cooperate to land in Jinzhou to outflank the rear flank, and surround more than 100,000 squadrons in one fell swoop, but who would have thought
"It's fake! It must be fake! The War Department was full of roars from Yusaku Uehara and others all day long, and Hasegawa Yoshimichi slapped the table even more excitedly: "Go, block the news!" Let Masataro Fukui contact Sadao Araki immediately, I want to know where he is anyway! These words could not appear in any newspaper until the 38th Wing was contacted! ”
Hasegawa scolded the adjutant with an angry face, and his expression was extremely cold! In fact, he knew very well in his heart that the possibility of Araki United's death was already very high in the analysis of the intelligence that came back one after another, and the only thing he couldn't figure out was what kind of troops the opponent had dispatched, and he was able to defeat Araki Wing in just a few days, could it be the relationship of heavy artillery?! For a while, the chief of staff of the Japanese army was also confused, how did he attack strongly? How many troops were dispatched?
Just when he was at his most anxious, the phone on the desk rang.
After picking up the phone and hearing the voice inside, Hasegawa Haomichi's forehead suddenly straightened, and the voice on the phone was not slow, but he could still feel the anger coming from inside, and when the phone was over, he found that his back was already cold.
Youpeng of Shan County on the other end of the phone slowly put down the phone, and his eyes swept over the retired Kuroki Weizhen and his confidant Aijiang Shoguni Masayi in front of him. Both of them are considered by the outside world to be veterans of the Shanxian faction, and they are both army generals, so they often get together to discuss the war situation after the war, but they didn't expect to wait for this news! So he looked at the former and asked, "Kuroki-kun, tell me what you think." ”
"It's too impatient." Kuroki frowned and said: "The last time I attacked Mukden, I led my soldiers to cut off Lucia's army, but I was also stopped by Marshal Dashan because I went too deep, I was very indignant at that time, but I found out afterwards that if I went deep again, I would face the danger of being cut off!" It was the marshal who saved me, and now Sadao Araki has made the same mistake, he went too deep. ”
Terauchi Masashi nodded: "In addition to being too deep, it should also be said that this sudden attack by the Chinese was too fast, completely beyond our expectations!" The army was not prepared at all, which led to the entire South Manchurian line being cut off, so with the addition of the Araki Wing and the railway escort team, tens of thousands of people have been lost so far! Speed and time have caused trouble.
The efficiency of the army is too slow! The 19th Division is a new wing, but with four wings, only one of them has arrived at Yingkou, and the remaining three are still waiting for ships in Ronan. The 9th Wing of the 16th Division needed to make sure that Kwantung Prefecture could not go north, and half of the 20th Division did not even reach Korea in Nagano! The war had been over for so long that the army had become paralyzed and careless. This loss is a warning to us, no matter what, the morale of the squadron is definitely rising now, so I think that all units should be strictly ordered to speed up and rush to the battlefield, and at the same time, they should be strictly ordered to hold Yingkou and Jiulian City, so as to lay the foundation for the next counterattack.
I also feel that the landing plan proposed by Tanaka Yoshiichi is very good, and the Fifth Division should be allowed to go ashore from there to attack! The Navy guys are annoying, but the escort still needs them. can only land in Jinzhou, you can seize Shanhaiguan to cut off their logistics line, and you can also cooperate with the frontal encirclement of Fengtian! ”
"Good."
Yama County Youpeng raised his head, and the old face that was extremely hated by Emperor Taisho was also extremely serious: "Temple-kun, please go to Nanman once." Terauchi Masashi nodded, and a trace of excitement rose in his heart, and he could finally return to the land that had fought bloodily.
