Chapter 1206: Ito Wants to Disobey?
Chapter 1206 Ito wants to disobey?
Yang Ketian, chief of the staff of the independent division, was in the outer room, sorting out a bunch of telegrams, and after following the division for a long time, Yang Ketian was already able to know what the division commander needed, and the hundreds of thousands of troops of the five corps of the independent division, and the telegrams exchanged with the division commander, and there was a huge amount of information gathered in the staff office every day.
There are more than 60 staff officers in the staff office alone, divided into seven groups, who are responsible for handling different telegrams, and after they are divided into different categories, they are reported to the division commander by section chief Yang Ketian.
To say that the several departments directly under the independent division and division headquarters are the busiest, they are Yang Ketian's staff office and Chen Feng's communication office, in all fairness, Yang Ketian is not very satisfied with the more than 60 soldiers under his command, it is not unprofessional, those who can enter the staff office are not weak hands, but an ability that cannot see through the essence at a glance, which makes Yang Ketian always feel not very refreshing.
Chief of Staff Chang Feng, went down to command the directly subordinate corps, and the business of the staff officer fell on Yang Ketian's head, he was actually already acting as the chief of staff, Yang Ketian has always wanted to have a good assistant, but he has never found it, so he has to train these soldiers for a few years.
But Liu Xinlan, a second lieutenant staff officer who just came to the internship today, surprised Yang Ketian, and as soon as the girl got started, Yang Ketian was overjoyed, why don't you say it, some people are born to do what kind of work, Liu Xinlan is born to be a staff officer, and the telegram she sorted out, as soon as Yang Ketian got it, he immediately formed a clear logic in his mind, and he could report to the division commander immediately without reprocessing it himself.
Yang Ketian secretly thought, "I have picked up the treasure," and tested other related staff business, Liu Xinlan is really not ambiguous, whether it is the operation on the map, or the preparation of marching plans and sequences, the formulation of logistics supply plans, the drafting of orders, etc., it is comparable to the old staff officers who have been working for several years.
For Liu Xinlan, Yang Ketian is no stranger, when he was in Guangzhou, he eradicated Yu Hanmou, Yang Ketian was a participant, the relationship between Liu Xinlan and Yu Hanmou, Yang Ketian also knew that about the entanglement between the division commander and Liu Xinlan, Yang Ketian also knew a rough idea, after Yu Hanmou was arrested, he escorted Liu Xinlan back to the apartment.
It's just that I didn't expect that this girl would apply for the military academy, and she still studied the staff major, and coincidentally, she was assigned to the division headquarters for her own internship, Yang Ketian had an idea, of course, it was out of trust in Liu Xinlan's talent, in the future, the telegrams sent by each corps and brigade to the division commander, I didn't have to personally review each one, and handed it over to Liu Xinlan to be responsible, and she reported to the division commander.
Hearing the division commander shouting to himself, he hurriedly called Liu Xinlan in, "Division commander, is there anything wrong?" Yang Ketian asked, and Tang Qiuli said, "Is there a telegram from the special operations detachment?" Yang Ketian flashed to the side and ordered Liu Xinlan: "Second Lieutenant Liu Xinlan, immediately report the content of the telegram to the division commander." ā
In fact, as soon as Liu Xinlan followed Yang Ketian in, Tang Qiuli saw her, but I don't know why Liu Xinlan appeared in the division command, according to the practice of independent divisions, or rather, it is his own order, military academy trainees should all go down to the brigade-level combat unit, Yang Ketian was out of the division commander's doubts, and quickly explained.
"Division commander, Second Lieutenant Liu's staff business is very proficient, you also know that the chief of staff has gone to command the combat troops, and I am so busy with that big mess in my department that I am very busy, in the future, Second Lieutenant Liu will report the relevant telegram to you and record your orders," Tang Qiuli frowned slightly, and thought in his heart: "Isn't Yang Ketian adding to the chaos?" I was a little afraid of seeing her, besides, the cadets of the military academy all went down to the brigade-level combat unit, who left Liu Xinlan in the division? ā
Tang Qiuli's slight movements were sensitively captured by Liu Xinlan, and she couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart, and a kind of sadness spread in her complicated heart, but she immediately adjusted her feelings and saluted very standardly, "Report to the division commander, Liu Xinlan, the second lieutenant and trainee staff officer of the Independent Division's General Staff Office, on the order of the director, to report to you the content of the telegram sent by the special operations detachment!" ā
The crispness and transparency of the voice are rare among girls, especially when it comes to "under the orders of the director", the words are particularly clear, and the beautiful big eyes flash with a stubborn light, it is this gaze that makes Tang Qiuli suddenly have a feeling of going back in time, and in a trance, it seems that he has returned to the hometown of Baishan and Heishui.
"My first wife, and my lifelong unforgettable lover Xiao Ling, is such a gaze, especially on the night of the last meeting, Xiao Ling led the field hospital, escorted the wounded of the five detachments, returned to the base, and said goodbye to himself, on the battlefield full of artillery fire, it was with such a gaze that he took a deep look, but he didn't expect that it was a farewell!"
Tang Qiuli's heart suddenly ached so violently that he almost groaned, and said in a dry voice: "Read," Liu Xinlan didn't read the draft of the telegram, so she said loudly: "At 6:23 p.m. on the evening of October 3, I received a telegram from the commander of the Chutian detachment of the special operations detachment that our detachment and its subordinate units entered the rear two days ago to carry out the task of clearing out small units of the Japanese army, and by the 3rd, 28 battles had occurred. ā
"Annihilated fifteen small infiltration units of the Japanese army, defeated thirteen of them, and the scattered Japanese troops fled to the Indo-Burmese border, and our troops continued to pursue, judging from the location of the battle, on both sides of our main logistical supply line, its purpose was obvious, and it was not all the Japanese troops who were hit, these small Japanese troops, well-equipped, well-trained, and very cunning, therefore, we built yƬ, and the transport troops should strengthen the escort force to avoid unnecessary losses."
"In addition, the division commander's order is to complete all the clearance tasks by the 3rd of next month, but according to the current situation, it is really difficult to complete, the Japanese troops are scattered in a vast area, and the combat area is high and dense, the terrain is complex, and the Japanese army is blindly avoiding the battle, so the division commander is requested to consider the practical difficulties faced by the special operations detachment and postpone the completion of the task."
Thanks to Liu Xinlan, she has this unforgettable ability, a telegram of more than 300 words, fluent as a clear spring over the hill, reciting it without stopping, and the voice is beautiful, listening to it is a kind of enjoyment, this time, even Tang Qiuli showed a surprised look, Liu Xinlan's hand suppressed everyone in the division headquarters, everyone was like a monster, looking at this slender and exquisite, beautiful female ensign.
Liu Xinlan's smooth face, without the slightest smugness, still stood there in a strict military posture, Tang Qiuli was surprised, she saw it in her eyes, she couldn't help but feel a little proud in her heart, Tang Qiuli said: "Order, Chutian detachment and subordinate troops, must complete the clearing task in accordance with the original order, and must not emphasize difficulties, Chutian, I don't want to hear you say difficulties and reasons, I just want the result." ā
Liu Xinlan retold the content of the telegram, after saluting, he left gracefully, behind him, Yang Ketian's face was proud, Tang Qiuli's eyes were complicated, he picked up the telegram and read it carefully, really, the content of the telegram of more than 300 words, Liu Xinlan recited it word for word, deep in his heart, he could no longer dispel the shadow and the stubborn gaze.
As Takemura Yamaichi expected, Ito Yanzaburo's telegram to the Tokyo base camp was sent back mercilessly, and it was also attached to the order of Prince Zaihito Miyaji, the chief of the general staff, a few simple words, revealing ruthlessness, "Continue to carry out the original plan for the Burma battle, if the Southeast Asian dispatch army is unable to undertake such a heavy task, it can be proposed immediately, and the base camp will make other deployments." ā
The meaning of the base camp is obvious, if you Ito Yanzaburo doesn't want to carry out this plan, let the fart out as soon as possible, and we will find someone else to do this, the subtext is, you Ito Yanzaburo don't have to mix in the army, Ito read the telegram, almost cried out in distress, the main difference between him and the base camp is in the choice of offensive direction.
Ito's plan was to defend the north and attack the east, and hit the fist on the independent division troops that were forcing into Mandalay, and the order of the base camp was to quickly advance north, capture Myitkyina, and end the Burma campaign, which meant that all the troops of the Southeast Asian dispatch army should be used in the direction of Mengmi to fight a decisive battle with Tang Qiuli's main force.
But the crux of the matter is that with Ito's current strength, it is not enough to carry out such a decisive battle, the conditions and timing are not ripe, a battle with foreseeable results, how can Ito be bold to carry it out, but if he disobeys the order, his days in the army are numbered, and he is idle, it is light, and it is not good, and he will end up like the former commander of the North China Dispatch Army, Tashiro Wanichiro, who will eat in prison for the rest of his life, and it is very likely that he will be the one who sits in this chair under his butt.
In fact, this can't be blamed on the base camp or the General Staff, and it is none other than the Supreme Commander of the Japanese Army and Navy, His Majesty Emperor Hirohito, who can understand Hirohito's mood at this time?
The Allied Manila Supreme Military Conference, the public agreement, made Hirohito extremely panicked, and also confirmed his previous speculation that the Americans and Tang Qiuli joined forces to deal with the Great Japanese Empire, that is to say, the Southeast Asian Dispatch Army, one of the two major military groups of the Empire's overseas operations, will be attacked by the Americans and Tang Qiuli.
Although he believed that the Americans would not launch an attack on the imperial army in Southeast Asia in the near future, let alone sincerely, this was a great hidden danger, like a time bomb that would explode at any time, and what turned into fragments could only be the Southeast Asian troops who had given high hopes to occupy the resource-rich areas.
