Chapter 958: Over the Mountain Wind

"Mountain! I need an explanation, the Empire needs an explanation, His Majesty the Emperor and the subjects of the Empire need an explanation! As Shen Honglie expected, now Shan Fifty-six appeared at the Imperial Council on Japan.

Tens of thousands of Japanese troops were directly abandoned, and the shock caused by this was enormous. The red-eyed army has even raised flags at the gate of the camp and shouted to kill the traitor mountain.

The staff officers of the army staff were paralyzed directly after learning the news that tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers had been abandoned on the vast sea. You know, it's not just about tens of thousands of soldiers. The bigger problem is the ships that the Army and Navy lost in this campaign!

This is directly related to the problem of resource transportation in Southeast Asia. In order to meet the Army's demand to withdraw everyone as quickly as possible, almost all ships for the entire day were looted.

As the prime minister, Hideki Tojo even did not hesitate to personally negotiate with those big chaebols for this reason. Using the exploitation of Southeast Asian resources as bait in exchange for the absolute support of their large fleet.

Although the army is strong and the prime minister has a lot of power, they don't want to completely offend all the Japanese chaebols. In fact, many chaebols have an inexplicable relationship with the army and even the royal family. If the Army and Hideki Tojo force them to go out of the ship, once they counterattack, it will not be something the Army can afford.

And this time, the ships of these plutocrats were almost completely wiped out! The consequences of this are drastic and terrible, and these chaebols, who have suffered huge losses, are now red-eyed, and if the army and navy do not give an explanation, they will definitely go to the emperor.

Hideki Tojo has a headache right now. The chaebols have already told the prime minister, both explicitly and covertly, that the army and navy must compensate them. Otherwise......

Needless to say, Hideki Tojo also knows. These chaebols have grown up along the way, and some of them can even be traced back to before the Meiji era.

In the end, not to mention him Tojo Hideki, even the idle courtyard palace Zairen didn't dare to completely offend them all to death.

And if it weren't for the fact that the loss was too big this time, these people would not have directly argued with Hideki Tojo. But this time, almost all the fleet was wiped out in this battle.

Anyone has to be in a hurry. These chaebols did not directly use their connections and forces to clean up Hideki Tojo, which is already calm.

"I have nothing to explain. I had no other choice at that time, either let the Combined Fleet die on the sea, or we chose to break the wrist of the strong man......"

Shan slowly stood up, and the admirals around him couldn't bear to look at him. Although everyone knows that the choice of the mountain is the right one. This time, only a part of the fighters and an old battleship were lost, which was already the best result.

This time the battle was even more intense than the last time in Shanghai, where two aircraft carriers and two battleships were lost. In comparison, the loss this time is much smaller.

"So, you gave the order to abandon the ship and those army soldiers?!" Hideki Tojo directly skipped Yamagoroku's explanation. Categorically.

Now what Tojo wants is for Yama Fifty-six to admit that he ordered to abandon those fleets, so that with Yama Fifty-Six, who is the one who carries the black pot, then he will have a lot easier.

"I ordered it, and I am willing to take all the responsibility for it......," Shan was silent for a while, and said, "Prime Minister, I am willing to bear the punishment of any big battalion against me." The other officers and soldiers of the Combined Fleet. Just doing what you are told. Please don't embarrass them......"

"You don't have to worry about this, all you have to do now is get out of here. Go back to the camp and wait for Your Majesty's judgment on you. Hideki Tojo waved his hand and said to Yamagoroku: "Take care of yourself first!" โ€

Yama Fifty-six sighed deeply, in fact, when he made the decision to abandon the ships, he had already guessed what he would face when he returned to Japan.

Yama did not make any further excuses, but got up and left the Imperial Council under the escort of the gendarmes.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I think you also know that the mountain was the right choice. Under those conditions, we would not be able to fight the Wehrmacht. The head of the navy, King Fushimi Miyahiro Kyo, looked at the back of the mountain. sighed: "The detailed battle report, I believe the prime minister has read it, at least I don't think the disposal of the mountain is wrong......"

In the end, King Fushimi Miyahiro is the identity of the royal family, and Tojo Hideki will not dare to be rude to him even if he is dissatisfied. saw Hideki Tojo bowing slightly. Road.

"Your Highness, I want to tell you too. It's not that I'm unreasonable, you know I've asked the chaebol for help with this retreat. And they have suffered a lot of losses in this campaign, and if we don't do something about it, the chaebols won't give up. โ€

Hideki Tojo's words are very vague. But Fushimiya understood that Tojo was asking for a price. To pay the price, it must be the Navy to pay. Ultimately. It is the Navy that has made this choice, and then the Navy must take responsibility.

The current situation is that there is no way to send back the resources of Southeast Asia for the time being, and the remaining resources must be used to build a transport fleet. The demands of the lost plutocracy are simple, at least they want to replenish part of the fleets they have already lost.

That is, the Navy needs to come up with its own resources to build transport ships and then subsidize those plutocrats. In exchange for those chaebols not pursuing the mountain, as for the army, the navy also needs to be sealed.

Otherwise, it would be a great disaster for the navy if either of these two sides pursued and fought fiercely. As soon as Hideki Tojo spoke, everyone's eyes turned.

Xianyuan Gong Zairen seemed to glance at Fushimi Palace inadvertently, but the slightly raised corners of his eyes already explained his attitude. The Navy gave up part of its own interests, which seemed to him to be welcome.

"Our current reserves, in addition to the necessary part, can build about eight 10,000-ton ships." As the head of the Navy's Command Department, Fushiminomiya is naturally well aware of the Navy's reserves.

As soon as the eight 10,000-ton giant ships were to be given, the faces of the admirals present turned pale. This is directly pulled out from between the teeth of the navy! A lot of the construction of warships and carrier-based aircraft will be halted as a result.

"The resources that will be transported back from Southeast Asia within a year will only be 30% of the resources that the navy will need." The eight 10,000-ton ships were to supply those chaebols. On the Army's side, it's not easy to fool.

Fushimiya pondered for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "I believe." In that case, everyone won't pursue it anymore, right?! โ€

Xianyuan Palace nodded, it seems that the navy is bleeding. Southeast Asia's resources will only be 30% within a year, which is undoubtedly a meat dig for the navy.

"Your Highness, although I don't want to say it, I still have to say it." Tojo Hideki bowed slightly and said to Fushimiya: "At least for half a year, Yama needs to stay in the reserves." This is a necessary account for the subjects of the Empire and for the Army. โ€

Hideki Tojo's meaning is very simple, no matter what, Yama Fifty-six must be punished on this cusp. Of course, after the calm of the sea, the Navy can call him again.

But now we have to make a statement. It is also an account of public opinion. Can't you bury tens of thousands of army soldiers without any bruises?! It's going to chill everyone.

This Imperial Council was different from the previous ones, and there was no record of the meeting. The only recorded part of the initial interrogation of the Yama 56 is recorded, and the subsequent communication between the Navy and the Prime Minister is completely unrecorded.

Mount fifty-six returned three days later. The Cabinet of Ministers announced the disposition of Mount Fifty-Six. Yama Fifty-six and two Imperial Navy captains were sent to the reserves.

At the same time, a number of officers and soldiers of the Combined Fleet were ordered to retire. King Hirohiro Fushimi himself made a speech on the radio, apologizing for the impact of the incident.

"Our sacrifice is too great, just for me. It's not worth ......" Yama Fifty-six is now in the office of King Hirokoshi of Fushimi Palace, and outside the window is a banner denouncing Yama Fifty-Six.

"I think it's worth it for you to continue fighting for the Empire." Fushimi Palace looked coldly at the crowd of people below with banners, and said, "If it weren't for you to make a decision." Our losses will be even greater. โ€

"It's just eight transports, we'll give it. It's just a reduction in the supply of resources in a year, and we can afford it. But if you're no longer in command, I'm not sure you'll be able to get away with it the next time you fight the enemy. โ€

King Fushimi Miyahiro Gong looked far away. That's where the value of Mount 56 lies. If there were no mountains this time, then the losses of the Japanese combined fleet would definitely be more than that.

It is even quite possible that the main battleship will be destroyed on the surface of the sea. Reports of war have already recorded that in the latter stages of the battle, Wehrmacht bomber units arrived with heavy bombs that could sink aircraft carriers.

If it weren't for the fact that the mountain decided in advance to evacuate at full speed, and at that time it was exactly at the edge of the combat radius of the fighter, how much would the Navy have lost. No one dares to say.

It's just the loss of warships, it's not too much of a problem. The losses of those experienced sailors. It's the most serious thing. Once the losses of the combined fleet are too great, then it will take more time to form combat effectiveness.

It may even cause a chain reaction -- the Americans want to avenge Pearl Harbor for a stone, but they have not been thinking about it for a day or two. If the combined fleet loses too much, it is difficult to guarantee that the United States will not consider striking Japan.

"Shan, your presence is more important to me than two or even five aircraft carriers. Because of you, we will lose a lot less aircraft carriers. Fushimi Palace obviously valued the mountain very much, turned around and patted him on the shoulder and said, "First grievances, wait in the reserves." It just so happens that our warships also need maintenance. When the time is right, I'll let you command again. โ€

"Hail!!" Yama bowed down and said in a grateful voice to Fushimiya.

At this time, the third elder of the Long family, Long Rope, was leading people to launch a strong attack on the border of Myitkyina. After the Air Force reported the results of the battle, the General Headquarters of the National Defense Forces issued an operational order to the Southwestern Military Region.

First of all, the Southwest Military Region will attack the Myitkyina region, Dien Bien and Liangshan in Burma...... and so on the border to launch a strong attack, and the main person responsible for the main attack in the Myitkyina region of Myanmar is Long Yun's third son, Long Shenzeng, who is now in the limelight.

"Cannon! What about rocket artillery?! It's all his grandmother's dead house?! Hurry up and knock out their firepower for Lao Tzu! "Long Rope is now the head of the regiment, but this captain never seems to be satisfied with staying in the rear.

According to him, you have to go to the front line to be called a man. The achievements of his comrades-in-arms and classmates in the South China, North China, and East China Military Regions made him blush, and when those photos with military merit medals were sent to him, Long Cheng secretly swore that he could not be worse than these old comrades-in-arms and old classmates.

Therefore, when the Southwest Military Region received the battle order, Long Rope, who had already planned 800 times, once led his troops into Myitkyina.

After three or two efforts, he actually hit the Mogang area of Myitkyina in one go. If it weren't for the emergency support of the Japanese army and the local coercive army. He might even be able to fight all the way to places like Gamai.

"Whoosh...... Boom Boom Boom ......" There were bursts of rocket launches from the rear, and more than a dozen rockets directly hit the Japanese position, immediately kicking up a cloud of dust.

The heavy machine guns under the "Sudden ......" also began to roar, and then the assault team began to kill the position. In a short time, these commandos had already entered the Japanese position, and the two sides immediately began a fierce white-handed battle.

Long Rope once took the lead with a broadsword, roared and rushed to the position, and several Japanese heads were flying under the knife in his hand. Seeing that the commander of his own regiment was so strong, the morale of the soldiers below was greatly boosted.

A steady stream of fighters rushed to the Japanese positions that had broken through, and the shouts and fighting voices were endless on the positions. Most of these fighters have been trained in jungle warfare for more than half a year or even a year. They have long been accustomed to the climate and mode of operations in the tropics.

During the training period, the grievances of watching the comrades-in-arms of other military regions make military exploits erupted like a volcano at this moment. A large group gathered at this position was almost completely killed and wounded in more than an hour of fighting.

Forced, the Japanese chose to withdraw from their positions. The panting dragon rope had not ordered the pursuit, and now his regiment suffered no small casualties. The reinforced regiment with a full strength of nearly 4,000 people. All the way to the present is less than 2,000 people.

And it was getting late, and Long Rope could only be ordered to go down to clean up the battlefield and start camping and repairing.

Then he reported the situation here to his immediate superiors. Soon this battle report was handed over to Lu Han, who was the commander-in-chief of the legion, and Lu Han was very pleased with the battle report.

"It's good that I haven't fallen into the prestige of Chairman Long, and the rope has fought well this time!" Lu Han pinched the battle report and said with a smile. Long Yun and Lu Han have a deep friendship and trust each other very much.

Lao Lu has been Long Yun's confidant since the Xinhai period. Even a few years after Xinhai, he married Long Yun's cousin Long Zeqing. This brings the relationship closer to each other.

"Forward the telegram to the General Command. Not...... Please ask the command if you can inform Governor Long of this situation. "Lu Han, who studied at the National Defense University, knows that the military regulations of the Wehrmacht are extremely strict, and this kind of war report should not be sent to Long Yun, who is a local governor.

But Lujรกn still wanted to tell his old buddy about it. Although the dragon rope used to be a person from all over the world, it was also very liked by Long Yun. But Long Rope used to be a hobby of Peking Opera. But it made Long Yun very unacceptable.

And the dragon rope once said that the rivers and lakes are too heavy, this child is famous in the major mountains of Yunnan. There are even times when putting out his name is more effective than his father's.

Historically, with its prestige, Longxian mobilized hundreds of thousands of people in central Yunnan to build the extremely important Yunnan-Burma Highway during the Anti-Japanese War.

And at the same time. As the chairman of the Yunnan Drivers' Federation, who was elected by people from all walks of life in Yunnan, he was able to completely guarantee the anti-Japanese material convoy carrying international foreign aid in Yunnan, where bandits were rampant. Smooth passage through this only land transportation line between China and the world.

This is not something that ordinary people can have. But in the eyes of Long Yun, who is accustomed to tradition, his son is not doing his job. mingling with people of all religions all day long, ruining the family style.

That's why Lu Han thought about sending this battle report to Long Yun to make him feel at ease. Long Rope has grown up, and he is no longer the son who can only mix in the three religions and nine streams.

"Boom! Rumble!! "......Long Shenzu, who fought in Dien Bien, was not as lucky as his younger brother, and his 24th Division encountered a strong resistance from the Japanese army as soon as it entered battle.

The Japanese army deployed a brigade of troops on five high grounds. The situation at Dien Bien is far more complicated than Myitkyina, which is close to Thailand, which had already announced its entry into the Japanese camp after the Japanese conquered Southeast Asia.

Therefore, the Japanese army could calmly mobilize troops from Thailand. At the same time, it can also receive supply and military support from Thailand.

"Go and ask Yang Bocheng, will he fuck him and fight?! No, just take it down for Lao Tzu, don't embarrass me on it!! Long Rope Ancestor looked at the stalemate of the battle, and roared angrily: "Someone! Assemble the guard battalion and get ready to go with Lao Tzu! โ€

But at this time, Long Shenzu saw Yang Hongguang, the commander of the 541st Brigade, walk into the headquarters with a disgraced face. The smoke of gunpowder all over his body illustrates what kind of hard fighting the brigade commander has gone through.

"Commander, I know you're angry. I feel that I, Yang Bocheng, am lazy and afraid of death. But what I want to say is that up and down my 541st Brigade, there is not a single man who does not carry a handle! As he spoke, Yang Hongguang gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with tears.

"In my 541st Brigade, two regiment commanders were killed and seriously wounded. The battalion commander lost three in battle, and the company platoon commander lost a third! Now there are less than one group of men who can stand up! Tell me, am I afraid of death in the 541st Brigade?! โ€

Hearing this, the Dragon Rope Ancestor sighed and waved his hand at Yang Hongguang to let him sit down.

"We are running out of time now, and this time the three major military regions of South China, North China, and East China have all played brilliantly in Shandong, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang. And going abroad to fight under the name of a name, this is the first bite we have eaten in the Southwest Military Region. If we can't get results as soon as possible, what face do we have to ask the command for new equipment in the future?! โ€

Long Rope Ancestor sighed and said, "Uncle Bocheng, I'm also in a hurry......
