Chapter 987: The Unlucky Soil Fertilizer Plain
"Tu Fei Yuan-kun, how do you explain this......
The plan to blow up the embankment and flood northern Henan failed, and Kenji Dohihara secretly flew back to Nanjing from Xuzhou, and just got off the plane, he returned to the military headquarters of the 11th Army. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Okamura slammed a stack of newspapers in front of him.
"Kenji Dohihara, a greedy and afraid of death, and stealing life! 》
The Difficult Escape of Lawrence in the East
"Kenji Dohihara I Know - Mitsuru Ushijima"
"The defeat of Taierzhuang, whose fault is it?" 》
……
The first newspaper was accompanied by a striking photograph taken after Ushijima was captured, of course, this photo was taken later, but the obviously ill-fitting lieutenant general's uniform completely hit Kenji Dohihara's seemingly strong heart.
"Okamura-kun, please don't believe the things in these newspapers, these reporters like to fabricate things out of thin air to attract other people's attention." Kenji Dohihara defended himself.
"Dohihara-kun, it's not that I don't believe you, it's that others don't believe you, once what is written on it is seen by the Tokyo base camp, or even reaches His Majesty's ears, do you know what will happen to this and how much impact it will have on you?"
Instinctively, Okamura Ninji still believes in Kenji Dohihara, and with his understanding of Kenji Dohihara's past, he feels that Kenji Dohihara is not a person who is greedy and afraid of death.
But there are some things. It is terrible to say that Kenji Dohihara suffered a crushing defeat on the Chinese battlefield, an elite division plus a field heavy artillery brigade, the loss of personnel, the loss of equipment, all of which need to be held responsible.
If you don't have to bear any responsibility for losing the war, then what do you have to do with military law, not to mention, the reason for this defeat is Kenji Dohihara, who is somewhat responsible.
There is a person who left China gloomily and has a very bad impression of Kenji Dohihara, that is, the former commander of the North China Front, General Terauchi Shouichi.
Because of the defeat on the battlefield in China, Terauchi Shouichi took on a lot of responsibility, not only was he called back to his country to serve as an idle post, but even the position of field marshal could be missed.
As soon as these reports were reported back to Japan and Japan, Terauchi Shouichi immediately submitted his opinions to the base camp and the General Staff Headquarters, asking for an investigation into Kenji's command behavior in the Chinese battlefield.
Terauchi Toshiichi even found Prince Zaihito at the General Staff Headquarters to complain, and blamed the defeat of Taierzhuang and the capture of the main officers of the 10th Division, such as Ryosuke Isoya, on Kenji Dohihara.
There is even a sensational hypothesis that Kenji Dohihara may have colluded with the Chinese side on the grounds that Kenji Dohihara does not support the expansion of the war against China and wears the same pants as the conservatives.
Seishiro Itagaki understands the reality of the war, and he also understands Kenji Dohihara, who is by no means as unbearable as the newspapers and General Terauchi say.
However, now there are always people who are responsible for the defeat of Guide, and the loss of so many imperial athletes and excellent generals cannot be treated as if nothing has happened, and the anger of some people in the army must be appeased.
The officers who served in the 14th and 10th Divisions also have relatives, friends and old friends, and now they are dead, captured and captured, and there are those whose lives and deaths are unknown.
In general, find someone to take the blame, it's still enough level, if it's a dead person, it's the most appropriate thing to find a dead person to blame, the problem is, some people died, but they weren't qualified, and there were only a few who were qualified, and Ryosuke Isoya, the commander of the division, was okay, but the problem was that he was captured, and he wasn't dead, and the rest was Kenji Dohihara, who lost the battle, and came back alive.
Others are either killed in battle or captured, and you come back alive, who will you go to if you don't look for you?
The phone on Okamura's desk rang suddenly, and he was in a hurry. It makes people feel a sense of panic.
"Moximosi, Your Excellency Commander." Okamura Ninji stretched out his hand to take the phone, put it to his ear and listened, and immediately stood upright, and his waist straightened slightly.
“……”
"Hay, I understand, I'll handle it right away."
The call was from Shunroku Hatata, and across the table, Kenji Dohihara could hear the unceremonious and irritable tone in Shunroku Hatata, obviously very unhappy.
"Tu Fei Yuanjun, I'm sorry, I can't help you, the base camp personally issued an order, ordering the gendarmes to escort you back to China and accept the investigation of the base camp." Okamura Ninji put down the telephone and sighed.
"Okamura-kun, the 'Epiphany' project has just begun, can you let me stay in China for a few more days, and then return to China for investigation, half a month is enough."
Okamura shook his head.
"A week, a week, right?" Kenji Tsuchihara asked pleadingly.
"No, the order from the base camp is to escort you back to Tokyo immediately." Okamura Ninji said, "Your Excellency the Commander has already made it clear to me just now, you are not allowed to intercede, no one's words will be useless, and Prince Zaihito of the General Staff Headquarters has personally inquired about your affairs." ”
Kenji Dohihara's face sank, this matter is obviously non-negotiable, it alarmed this person, if he disobeys his order, the end can be imagined.
"Tu Fei Yuanjun, take care." Okamura Ninji really doesn't want Kenji Dohihara to leave, he needs a think tank like him who is familiar with China's national conditions and is proficient in intelligence work, but there is no way, who made him a defeated general, and there are so many unclear things on him?
"Okamura-kun, thank you for taking care of me, Tohihara is grateful, and before leaving, I have a few heartfelt words to give to Okamura-kun." Kenji Dohihara solemnly bowed to Okamura Nenjiichi.
"Tu Fei Yuan-kun, please speak!"
"Please be careful of Leng Feng, this person is not only unpredictable in the military, but also has extraordinary means in the economy and politics." Kenji Dohihara said solemnly, "To fight against it, you must plan and then act." ”
"Thank you Tu Fei Yuan-kun for your kind words, I remember it."
"This time there was a story about me in the newspaper, and I felt that it must have been written by him." Kenji Dohihara's eyes darkened slightly.
"Are you sure?"
"I can feel that he wants to get rid of me, and besides, these reports appear too abruptly, as if they were discussed, if you don't believe me, Okamura-kun can go and check the origin of these reports." Kenji Dohihara said hatefully, "Also, the news that I am alive must have leaked, and he must have guessed that I was the driving force behind the flooding of northern Henan by blowing up the embankment, so he resorted to this trick to force me to leave China." ”
"Is this cold front really so powerful?"
"Okamura-kun, you haven't fought him directly, and when you fight him, you'll understand that what I'm saying is true." Kenji Tuhihara said, "Among the generals of China J, Jiang and He Zhiyi are not worried, and the only ones who can really become the henchmen of the empire are M in Yan'an and this cold front." ”
"Tu Feiyuan Jun is serious, Yan'an's M is just lingering, as for this Leng Feng, he is now just a general of the ZY Army, although he has some strength, but if he is compared with the powerful power of the empire, he is still far behind." Okamura Ninji didn't quite believe what Kenji Dohihara said.
Even if what Kenji Dohihara said makes sense, a defeated general will inevitably be a little exaggerated or exaggerated about the person who defeated him.
If the opponent is too weak, doesn't it seem that he is too incompetent?
Kenji Dohihara bowed deeply again in the face of Okamura Ninji, his words can only be said here, as for whether the other party listens or not, it is his own business.
The gendarmes sent by the front headquarters came quickly, and almost at the moment when Kenji Dohihara walked out of Okamura Ninji's office, a Japanese second lieutenant with a "gendarme" armband on his arm arrived at the headquarters of the 11th Army with four soldiers.
Click!
Kenji Dohihara was handcuffed, pushed into a prisoner cart escorting prisoners, and quickly taken away.
As soon as Kenji Dohihara left, Major General Yoshimoto Sadaichi, chief of staff of the 11th Army, and Osaku Miyazaki, chief of the Operations Division, walked into Okamura Ninji's office together.
"Commander Okamura, Dohihara-kun was taken away like this, this is a huge loss for us, I have read some battle reports, even if Dohihara-kun carries out the orders of His Excellency the general of the temple, I am afraid that he will not be able to save the siege of the main force of the Isoya Division."
"Obedience to orders is the first criterion of soldiers, and if Tu Fei Yuanjun violates this article, he must be punished, otherwise, as long as the subordinates think they are right, they can disobey military orders, so how can we lead troops?" Okamura Ninji reprimanded, as a superior, if he encounters such a subordinate, it is also hated, and a disobedient soldier may not be very harmful, but a general who does not obey orders will cause a huge disaster.
"Your Excellency Commander, General Dohihara returns to Tokyo this time, what will the base camp do?" Miyazaki asked on Monday that if the plan to flood northern Henan succeeded, perhaps Kenji Dohihara could still win a chance to atone for his crimes, at least with credit, and he could wash away some of his "suspicions".
But the plan to "flood northern Henan" failed, and who would have thought that "Lao Chiang" would order to dig an embankment upstream on the south bank of the blown gap and release water?
The troops on the southern front were advancing too fast, and the pressure on the Chinese J team was too great, which may be one of the reasons for the failure of this plan.
It can only be said that Kenji Dohihara's luck is too bad, he picked up a life and came back, but he had to be censored, and obviously someone in the country was dissatisfied with him, and this was taking this opportunity to rectify him.
But the news of Kenji Dohihara's survival has not been revealed to the public, although the base camp has been notified, but it will not be at this juncture?
All these non-existent reports have spread to Tokyo?
If so, then it's easy to explain, but the question is who did it?
As Okamura Ninji, it was not difficult to figure out the reason, and he soon learned the reason, and it turned out that a very inconspicuous left-wing newspaper in Tokyo reported an article entitled "The Fall of the 14th Division".
The article was mailed to the newspaper, and the signature was naturally fake, although news control was also implemented in Japan, but no matter how powerful the control was, it was impossible to be airtight, and as a result, as soon as this report came out, not many people saw it, but I don't know who voted for the Terauchi Shou family, this old guy was originally unhappy with Kenji Dohihara, and found Prince Zairen of the Idle Yuan to complain, and it was not a big deal, but it turned out to be big.
This matter has made a big fuss in the staff headquarters, and Prince Zairen can't see it, so he has to arrest Kenji Dohihara and ask him clearly, otherwise, the impact will be bad.
So, Kenji Dohihara was unlucky.
