Chapter 830: Passing the buck
Chapter 830 blames each other
The seizure of the captured warships and sailors of the Soviet Pacific Fleet from Haishanwei was an important part of Tang Qiu's plan to leave the Far East, and the fleet's departure from Haishanwei Military Port was only the first step.
For the first time, the inhabitants of Haishanwei began their ordinary morning life without the patrols of the Japanese army, and after the residents stepped out of their homes, they were surprised to find that there were no usual groups of Japanese patrols on the streets, and the ointment yào flags tied to the bayonets were lined up in columns, and the Japanese soldiers with the faces of conquerors were very loud and walked through the streets, and the Japanese soldiers with the faces of conquerors were not seen in a strange way.
Last night, there was neither gunfire nor any movement, these Japanese disappeared from Haishanwei Street, and the neighbors who got up early changed their eyes with each other, and all they saw was inquiry, and the sun rose, and without the Haishanwei of the Japanese soldiers, it seemed that the former tranquility had been restored, and people's lives went on as usual, and no one went into this reason.
As Tang Qiuli expected, the Japanese Kwantung Army discovered the abnormal situation of Haishanwei two days later, and the materials that needed to be transferred from Haishanwei were not received for two consecutive days, and the 19th Heavy Brigade did not have any explanation.
In the evening of the next day, several cars belonging to the Kwantung Army troops drove all the way into Haishanwei, and on a car in the middle sat Major General Gong Tetsukiichi, director of the Kwantung Army Logistics Department, and the baggage needed by the front line could not be transported, and the Kwantung Army Headquarters sent several telegrams a day urging the Logistics Department to be unable to bear the strength, and the Kwantung Army Logistics Minister was eager to slaughter the captain of the 19th Baggage Brigade Ueda Masao.
But he knew the background of this guy, so he had no choice but to send Major General Gong Zhexii, the director of supervision, to personally go to Haishanwei to supervise the formation.
His Excellency knew the donkey temper of Gong Zhekiichi, and he didn't like him either, and he talked about serving the empire all day long, as if he himself was the only loyal subject of His Majesty the Emperor, and if it weren't for his talents, he would have been sent to a remote area to guard the warehouse.
As soon as this guy's donkey temper comes up, in case he and Ueda Masao get into trouble, the matter will reach the ears of Commander Ueda Kenkichi, and he will also eat deflated, so there is no need.
Gong Zhexi rushed to Haishanwei with a stomach full of anger, he knew Ueda Masao too well, that is, a huāhuā son who relied on his uncle's official position and made a good fortune, such a person is also worthy of being an officer of the Japanese Imperial Army, Gong Zhe was angry, and took the relatives of the Kwantung Army commander Ueda Kenkichi to greet them one by one.
Entering the city of Haishanwei, I didn't see a single soldier of the empire, let alone a patrol, Gong Zhexi couldn't suppress the anger again and again, and this guy Ueda was too disagreeable, in the huge Haishanwei, he didn't even send a patrol, he neglected his duties, and slacked off to this kind of Cheng Dù, which really embarrassed the soldiers of the empire.
Gong Zhexi has a plan, when he sees this guy Ueda Masao, he must teach him a hard lesson, not to mention that he is the nephew of His Excellency the Commander, even if it is the emperor's brother-in-law, he will not spare him, and he will not want to fight for the future of this major general, and he cannot let this son and brother do what he wants, hindering the progress of the Great East Asian Holy War.
When they arrived at the 19th Heavy Dà Brigade station, the camp was closed, Gong Zhexi and his party broke in, the camp was quiet and there was no sound at all, like a ghost town, it was quiet and made people feel máo, searched around, and did not find a single soldier, Gong Zhe felt that something was not quite right, and besides, a large number of supplies were gone.
The logistics department did not transfer the 19th Heavy Brigade to other places at all, and a brigade of thousands of people was gone? From the moment he entered Haishanwei, he felt that something was abnormal there, and a staff officer who followed Xìng hurriedly ran over, "Report to Your Excellency General, we found an abnormal situation in the nearby Marine Corps barracks," Gong Zhe was shocked and followed the staff officer.
The scene of the Marine Corps camp stunned Gong Zhe Xiyi, the corpses of the Marine soldiers everywhere, bleeding from the seven orifices, the death was extremely terrifying, the entire camp became the Shura Hell, more than 3,000 Marine Corps soldiers, just like this mysterious death, the nineteenth heavy dà team mysteriously disappeared, all of them were full of a strange and weird.
A gust of sea breeze blew, Gong Zhexi shivered, he could not understand or explain this phenomenon, and truthfully reported what happened in Haishanwei to the Logistics Department of the Kwantung Army, until now he has not noticed that more than 100 warships of the Soviet Pacific Fleet moored in the military port have also mysteriously disappeared.
After receiving the report from the Logistics Department, the Kwantung Army Headquarters immediately jumped and made a fuss, and several thousand people and a large number of military supplies of the 19th Baggage Brigade mysteriously disappeared, and more than 3,000 soldiers of the left-behind troops of the Fourth Brigade of the Marine Corps died mysteriously.
Ueda Kenkichi immediately understood that this series of mysterious disappearances and deaths was a big conspiracy, and the target of the revolving conspiracy around the Soviet Pacific Fleet was the more than 100 captured Soviet warships.
The Japanese navy only got the news on the afternoon of the third day, and because of the historical grievances between the army and the navy, Ueda Kenkichi did not immediately report the disappearance of the warship to the navy, and the first thing he did was how to dissociate himself from the Kwantung Army as much as possible about this Yan zhòng incident, which was enough to make many people lose their heads, especially his unruly nephew.
After these things were done, he sent a telegram to the base camp, "In the base camp, Haishanwei, the area occupied by the Kwantung Army, there was an incident of Yan zhòng's dereliction of duty, according to the report of our Kwantung Army's troops stationed in Haishanwei, the Soviet Pacific Fleet and more than 18,000 prisoners of war captured by our department were transferred to the custody of the navy, and mysteriously disappeared two days ago. ”
After sending a telegram to the base camp, Ueda Kenkichi informed the navy of the incident, "Your Excellency Mitsumasa Yonechi, Minister of the Navy, the Soviet prisoners of war and warships captured by our Kwantung Army troops disappeared mysteriously two days ago, and more than 3,000 people of the 4th Marine Brigade died. ”
The content of the telegram is simple, and, all at once, the responsibility of the Kwantung Army is completely wiped out, Ueda Kenkichi severely disgusted the number one person in the Japanese Navy, Mitsumasa Yonechi, this incident happened during the detention of your navy, and it has nothing to do with the Kwantung Army, I sue you It's already very good, it's not that I don't ventilate in advance, this matter is too big, you yourself explain it to His Majesty the Emperor and the base camp
Mitsumasa Yoneuchi, the Minister of the Japanese Navy, looked at Kenkichi Ueda's telegram and trembled with anger, this hateful fisherman (Kenkichi Ueda's grandfather, a poor fisherman from Hokkaido), had such a serious incident in Kaishanwei, it took him more than a day to report it to himself, and the telegrams from the base camp asking for explanations from the navy were five hours earlier than Kenkichi Ueda.
But he had nothing to say, after all, the Soviet prisoners of war and the warship were missing under the care of the Marines, and this responsibility could not be shirked, and he had the same judgment as Ueda Kenkichi, this was a big conspiracy around the Soviet Pacific Fleet, if the warships and prisoners of war were taken away, if they wanted to leave the Sea of Japan, the only way to go was the Pacific Ocean.
Several passages between the Zongshen Strait and the four islands of the Japanese mainland, the hijackers did not dare to pass through Guò in any case, and could only take the Korean Strait, which was the only passage to the Pacific Ocean.
He looked at the map repeatedly, and suddenly, he was shocked, it was Tang Qiuli, who was called "the devil of China" by the army guys, and he was the only one who had this kind of strength, and several important ports along the coast of China could be used to dock such a large fleet, and the Soviets wanted to do this, whether it was from the road or the possibility of escaping back to the mainland, there was no possibility of zàicào doing it.
Only Tang Qiuli has this ability and convenient conditions, "Tang Qiuli" Mitsumasa Rice almost squeezed out these three words from between his teeth, the navy has never fought with the troops of the Independent Division of China commanded by Tang Qiuli, I don't know what the bitterness is, for the army side has been planted in Tang Qiuli's hands one after another, Mitsumasa Minechi has not much feeling except for gloating and taking Tang Qiuli's continuous attacks on the army side.
Originally, a land, a sea, no matter what, Mitsumasa Michi, who was watching the fire from the other side, thought that this legendary devil had nothing to do with him, but Tang Qiuli suddenly punched him hard in Haishanwei, not only robbed more than 100 warships, but also killed more than 3,000 of his own.
Otherwise, the navy will become the object of ridicule of the army guys, and he will not have a reasonable explanation for His Majesty the Emperor, and the most important thing is that by capturing more than a hundred warships of the Soviet Pacific Fleet, the idea of expanding the strength of the navy will also be frustrated.
Mitsumasa Yonechi has even deeper worries: If these warships fall into the hands of Tang Qiuli, the devil of China, within two years, Tang Qiuli's fleet will appear in the Pacific Ocean and roam around Southeast Asia, and the days when the Japanese Navy dominated the South Pacific will be gone forever.
I'm afraid that the navy will have a hard time like the army in the future, so even if it can't be obtained, Mitsumasa Mine will ruthlessly want to destroy these Soviet warships that are a potential threat to himself.
